Plenty OF War Talk.

The report of the ASSASSIN alton OF the
American Consul Lee at Havana was
last night talked OF everywhere The re-
port came over the wire and was sup
posed TO have been received by a Mil
waukee paper from Havana. 1t took
little or no time for it to gain circulation
about town and considerable excitement
prevailed. The supposed assassination
OF the American consul following 40
clos'ly after the destruction OF the battle
ship Maine in such mysterious manner
was looked upon as reason enough for a
declaration OF war. Afterward in reply
TO telegram, the Milwaukee paper that
was supposed to have received the mes
sage, denied the report. This morning
another me sage was received stating
that the rumor was untrue.
The tension OF the people has been
greatly drawn oHt by the reports that
come in, and every scrap OF news is eag-
erly talked OF. The special in last even
ing's paper stating that the Associated
Press was authority for the statement
that the Maine had been DESTROYED by
torpedoes and that divers had found the
holes in the bottom OF the vessel was the
very latest on the question although the
NEWS also stated the navy authorities
discredited the report. and created a
great deal OF talk.

as the rock building. The trouble &C.
Cured last Saturday night aud the party
was pulled by Officer Stukel. They ac-
knowledged in court that they were a
little the worse for the amount OF intox-
icants they had consumed, but thought
they were not making very much noise.
However. they pleaded guilty to the
charge preferred by the officer and were
assessed the sum 50 and costs each which
they paid.

"ALICE, THE SAILOR"
A Chicago Girl Who Has serves
in the Garb of Man for
Five Years.

The American liner Paris, which ar
rived recently, brought from South
ampton as a second-class passenger q
young woman Of Chicago. who is
known as alice, the Sailor" She says
she has spent number of years on the
sea, all the time concealing her sex
by dressing like a man. When she ar.
rived here she was expecting to be met
at the pier by representatives of the
Young Women's Christian union. As
none of these were present. she was
taken in charge by the customs au-
thorities.
Her real name, she says, is Alice
Amelia Mckinley. About five years
ago. she says, she left the United
States, shipping for Cardiff, Wales,
as sailor boy. At Cardiff she went
to work on collier, and made trips TO
Portland. England. where she helped
to coal the British warships Repulse
and Resolute. Afterward she shipped
on the collier Glenavon, and made a
voyage TO Caraglio, in Sardinia. Dur
ing the Spanish war the Glenayon was
chartered to take load of coal to Las
Palmas In the Canary islands for the
Spaniards.
On her arrival there her sex was dis
covered by the Spanish, and they fnr-
nished her with woman's clothing aud
sent her to London on the steamer
Rhynland, Castle. At London she ap-
piled for help to the American consul,
but as she had been away from this
country for so long he would not send
her home. Her story became known
In London. and some of the Americans
there paid her passage home---Chicago

For the first time in Is years man
has been sentenced to death in Mon
sreal, and he will be hanged in the yard

has witnessed the official takingoff of
members of old French families who re-
oelled against English rule as well as
f common malefactors.
The occasion win bring to Montreal
{. r. R. Ratcliffe, official executioner
IF Canada. For almost seven years Rat
sliffe has practiced his profession, and
in that time he must have launched
very nearly some five dozen people into
the great unknown. His official ap-
pointment is of more recent date. He
receives regular salary and is COM
PEELED to travel TO any part of the
Dominion where a man is to be hanged

# the execution, such as those en-
gendered by the building of the scaf-
fold and the gallows, etc, being borne
by the government of the province
whose courts have ordered the execu-
ton. In addition to his regular salary,
he has certain perquisites, such as are
derived from the sale of fractions of the
rope which furnish the moose and such
articles of wearing apparel as are often
given him by the laws victims. In
some cases these things are bought out

and where his neighbors and all those
with whom he Is acquainted have moth

his own circle Of acquaintances and
mixes very little with the general pub
lie; in fact, SO unostentatious are his
ways that In the city of Toronto itself
very few people know who he is or
where he lives.
Who and what he was before he came
to Canada is mystery. The first time
he became known was through
Birchall's crime. When the murderer
was condemned to he hanged the au-
thorities were in a quandary as to
where they could find a man to carry
out the sentence. Formerly some Jail
official, chosen by lot, or some prisoner
who was well paid for his work had
done the actual hanging. In this case,
however, no one could be found willing
to undertake the job Suddenly the
steward of the Sunnyside Boating club
of Toronto, a very swell organization,
offered to do the work. This man
proved to be Ratcliffe. As he did his
work remarkably well and as the boat
ing club did not want to have anything
more to do with him after that. he
