! For the credit of Delaware. the soldiers
stationed at Forts Mott and Delaware
should be mado to behave themselves or
1heir camps moved out Of the State. Ths
Gsgraceful fight which took place ON the
steamer Thomas Clyde on Wednesday is
enough to make the people rise up in their
might and make request to tie President
20 remove these men from our midst. It's
. good thing the disturbance occurred IN
Delaware City instead Of Wilmington.
The officers Of the Thomas Clyde owe it
b the travelling public and those WHO pa
disgraceful scenes take place on its decks.
it Is not safe for the public to travel Oh it

spring with James A. Clemmar and Eliz.
abeth K. DeKalb to murder his wife,
committed suicide Arrangement were
being made yesterday by the Board of
Prison Inspectors about providing the nee
essary gallows to hang him on. The
Board was divided as to whether it was
moro economical to hire gallows or build
ono. Kaiser had taken the works out Of a
ANAL clock and gashed bis arm in several
places with the sharp steel spring. Not
Satlshed with that, he had torn up his bed
Sheet and made it into rope which be tied
around his neck to mako the job doubly
certain. Only fifteen minutes previous,
the keeper had talk with Kaiser, who
was reclining on his cot, and 1t is now be-
heved he was then slowly bleeding to
death. He said he would never be hung.
He weighed when first placed in prison al
pounds; at the time OF his death he only
weighed IN pounds. He never expressed
any sorrow for having hurled lis wife into
eternity. He had her life insured for SO, {.
600 and this was the motive that prompted
him to have her put out of the way.

The Cleveland Leader has from it's
Washington City correspondent the
following interview with Senator Han
ma concerning the Philippine question,
which is believed to represent the
views of President Mckinley:
81 do not know what the instructions
given to our Peace Commissioners are"
said Mr. Hanna. 'but so far as concerns
the negotiations which will be institute
ed in Paris, | can see no other result
than that Spain will have to relinquish
her sovereignty over not only Luzon
Island but the entire Philippine Archi-
pelago. Spain has no reason to expect
to be able to retain any portion of the
group. She went into the war and lost
and now ought to be prepared to suffer
the consequence, which such defeat
implies"
81 regard the Philippines as lost to
Spain, and that being foregone con-
clusion, in my opinion the problem
which now confronts us relates to the
form of government which we will give
the islands"

Wreck of the Brixham.

The American steamer Brixham, of
Boston, belonging to the Boston and
ALASKA S. S. Co.. is lying on Lincoln
rocks, 80 miles south of Wrangel, a
total wreck. The accident occurred
last Thursday night, during the storm.
The steamer was travelling along over
the regular route, when all at once
there was crash as the steamer struck
the rocks. Immediately all was con-
fusion, but the GOODNESS of the captain
and officers quickly brought order out
of chaos. a hasty examination reveal
ed the fact that the ship was badly
damaged. and orders were at once given
to lower away the life boats, which was
quickly done. Fortunately the sea was
not running high and there was little
difficulty in landing the passengers on
Etoline island. In the meantime the
ship was rapidly settling by the stern,
and by the time the last of the passeng-
ers were taken off, the stern was under
water and resting on the rocks. The
accident occurred at high tide and as
the tide went out tho ship was left high
and dry on the rocks where she remains
probably a total loss. The cargo con-
sisted Of general merchandise and live
stock, great many of the latter being
drowned. The crew are now removing
the cargo. but as yet nothing is known
as to the damage resulting from water.
The news was brought by the Al-ki
which arrived early this morning,
bringing the passengers from the
wreck.
