On the face Of the contradictory dis
patches regarding that particular ques-
ton, II would be utterly impossible to
tell whether General Lee did or did not
ask that war vessel be sent TO Habana.
Unless, however the situation in
Habana in consequence Of the riots pro-
missed TO be much more serious than
all advices conquered In indicating IL
would be. the chances are that General
Lee did not make the request.
General Lee Is not a man to become
panic stricken. ana his administration Of
the Office OF Consul-General at Habana
has shown that while he Is granite In
his determination to uphold the dignity
Of the United States and protect the
rights OF our citizens on the island. he
can be counted upon not 20 do anything
to provoke unnecessary friction
between this country and Spain.

The Penal Code provides that a person can be tried here for murder committed wholly or in part in this State, so that the proceedings are regular. An appeal can be taken. to the Supreme will then decide the matter of jurisdic- tion. This time will be at tl.e close. of the trial if defendants attorneys desire to take it.
 There is no danger that Mrs. Botkin, II she Is guilty, will escape punishment on the technical ground that tn, laws are de- fective covering a crime which is com mitted partly in one State and partly in another. In the case of the woman poi soned in Delaware the prosecution claims the candy was purchased in this city, and the poison was then mixed with 1t. The box was then mailed from here. thus the our courts jurisdiction. I do not think the Supreme Court will grant the desired writ of prohibition

 While Michael Joseph was hustling votes for himself the other candidates were industriously working In their own behalf There were five tickets in the field and the pulling and hauling of vot- CTS reminded one of a Democratic primary during the rule of Chris Buckley.
 The greatest interest was centered in the fight for the presidency of the organi- zation. There were two candidates-John Butterworth and E. F. Leonard. Butter worth won by a majority of sixty-three votes.
 Sergeant "scotty' Campbell was on the ticket for vice-president. At the last mo- ment a dark horse in the person of John Cronin appeared on the scene, and an- nounced that he was in the fight to stay.
 "Scotty'' then rolled up his sleeves, so to speak and proceeded to show his op- ponent some new tricks in the game of politics. Long Shot" Rattigan, the patrol wagon driver, on learning that Cronin had entered the fight against Campbell, shed in getting votes.
 When the polls closed Campbell was 118 votes ahead of his opponent and grasping Rattigan's hand he profusely thanked hlm for his efforts in his behalf.
 The following are the officers elected: President, John Butterworth; vice-presi- dent, Shadrick Campbell; treasurer, John Duncan; recordinr secretary, o. C. Phil lips; financial secretary, Sam Rankin: board of trustees. Michael Joseph Conboy, Robert Graham, Reuben Wolfe, R. J. Ker- rison and T. P. Walsh. Duncan, Phillips and Rankin had no opposition.
