There is trouble in the Sixth Massa-
chusetts regiment which is at Porto
Rico with Gen. Miles. 1t appears that
Colonel Woodward, Lieutenant Colonel
Chaffin, Major Taylor and Captains
Goodel. and Barrett, of the Sixth Mas
sachusetts, be examined as to their
efficiency. With the exception of
Captain Barrett, all of the officers re-
signed. This action was considered as
equivalent to an admission of inability
to stand an examination. The Colonel
says his regiment was unjustly criticiz-
ed for struggling on the march to Ponce
and he hints at prosecutions by the
regulars. 1t is alleged that he feigned
sickness. Gov. Wolcott has appointed
Lieut.. Col. Edmund Rice of U. ). Army
and colonel of the 9th in place of Wood
ward, and Adiutant Butler r. Ames
to be lieutenant colonel. This was
done by cable upon advice of Gen.
Miles.

We are informed on good authority
that garden thieving has begun again in
this village. This seems to us like the
most despicahle form of thievery, for
counting ones time and labor of fighting
all the insects which usually prey upon
a garden, the gardener gets little enough
return if he gathers in a full crop.
Then, if he has done all but the gather
ing, to have it snatched from him in a
night seems too hard to bear. In such
cases several sharp steel traps would be
good investment. Says the Madison

The woman left the hotel, Sunday, and

the influence of liquor.
She sat at a table in the cafe with
some men whom she asked for some
money to buy whiskey. Mr.. Caprio
said she had several drinks, and be-
came boisterous. Two walters took the
woman UP stairs to a room. They knew
nothing more until the body was found

ENCOURAGING PROGRESS.
Anglo American Commissioners Hope 10 Com
pIete Work Before Christmas.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Members of the
Anglo-Americanc commission of Canadians
and Americans expressed the hope, today,
that they would complete their labors be-
fore the Christmas holidays. They are
not yet willing to state, however, that a
treaty will be framed covering the many
States and Canada. Greater progress
has been made than is generally under
stood and the rough draft of some of the
articles of the proposed treaty has been
submitted by SUBJ committees and tent3-
lively approved.
But the important subjects of the
north Atlantic fisheries, reciprocity and
Behring sea remain open. 1t is under
stood that the questions OF the border
immigration. mining rights, lake fisheries
and the Alaskan-Canadian boundary have
was expected and that a basis of agree
ment on these subjects is in sight If not
actually determined upon.
AS to Behring sea, the view prevails on
both sides that settlement Will be
reached, and the presence of two officials.
one a Canadian and, the other an Amer
lean. at Victoria, where an inventory IS
leads to the belief that the settlement
may be on the basis of wiping out the in
austry 10y giving the Canadians some
equivalent for the capital invested.
Reciprocity and the Atlantic fisheries
continue to be the most stubborn ques-
lions before the commission.
the ah eo 1olt adournei Until Tuesday
at II A M. The two sides held separate
sessions, this afternoon, and most of the
time until Tuesday will be given to these
separate meetings The sole object con-
sidered today, was reciprocity. 1t is I'M
derstood that the item of live animals is
receiving SPECIAL attention.
The prospect of an early settlement of
the Behring sea question was improved
by the receipt of word that the two Off
cials who have been making an appraisal
in the value of Canadian sealing have
completed their labors and are now on
their way to Washington.
