PLEASED WITH M'KINLEY.
Admiration Felt in England f
Americas President.

Admiration Felt in England for
Americas President.
London Letter in New York Mail and Ex-
press.
The man of the hour in London is Will
liam Mckinley, President of the United
States of America. His name is upon every
body's lips, matter where you go. His
tact, his discretion, his diplomacy, his
craftsmanship, his humanity, his deep
sightedness and a dozen more worthy at
tributes. are alike the topics of the club the
dinner table, the city office and the street
corner. At one time it might truly be said
that not 10 per cent. of the British popula-
ton could mention the name OF the unitea
States President in office; but hardly think
there is q man, woman or intelligent child
to-day in all England who does not know
who Mr.. Mckinley is.
What is more, this English approval of
the American President is downright, honest
admiration. Mr.. Mckinley has risen at
bound to a niche among the greatest of the
worlds great men, in the estimation of all
foreign nations, and to quote Right Hon m
revered as long as the American Nation has
a history and a pen to record it.
To quote another Englishman, also of dis
tinction president McKinleys message
on the destruction of the Maine is a noble
and dignifed document, worthy of a great
man and a great nation. To appreciate its
the immense provocatiOn which the United
States received. If the English war vessel
the Victoria-had been lost, not by a mis-
calculation of one of the bravest and most
esteemed officers of the English navy, but
by the submarine mine of some cowardly
and treacherous foe, one can dimly conjec-
ture how the war spirit would have blazed
among the relatives and friends of the
brave men thus sacrificed in time OF peace.
Revenge or death would have been the up
permost thought in the minds of most Eng
lishmen. That is the situation which Pres-
dent Mckinley has had to face; and the
way in which he has faced it belongs to the
great deeds of the Anglo-SaXon race. Eng
lishmen are rightfully proud to-day of their
American kinsman"

Several papers dealing with the Pennsyl-
vania coal regions appear in the April Cen
fury. Henry Edward Rood, writing of "A
Polyglot Community says:
More than one-half the total number of
immigrants into the United States are COM
ing from Austria-Hungary. Italy, Poland
and Russia. While official statistics are not
available yet careful investigation leads to
the belief that perhaps 80 or 90 per cent. of
arrivals from the countries mentioned have
had no regular occupation, while possibly
borers. Five years ago the Rev. Mr.. Maui
jerie, himself an Italian, in company with
the writer. made tour of observation
through the Lehigh region of Pennsylvania,
and stated that in his opinion the Italians
working there were about three centuries
behind Americans in their standards of lv-
ing-that is, in their ideas as to food, cloth
ing, shelter, wages. work and general intel
ligence. Since that time there has been no

ATTACK ON PENAL CODE
IMPORTANT QUESTION RAISED BE-
PORE THE SUPREME COURT.
Claimed that Man Cannot he Pun
ished Now for Crime Commit-
ted April i, 1897.

There is before the Supreme Court a case
in which 1t is being contended that the pas
sage of the indeterminate sentence law re-
pe1led the whole criminal code which ex-
listed prior to the taking effect of the new
law, and that it is absolutely impossible to
punish d man now for a crime committed
before the indeterninate Jaw became oper-
alive
1t is the case of William Hicks against
the State of indiana, which came up from
Floyd county. Hicks committed a minor Of
Tense prior to the enactment of the indie
terminate sentence law, was tried after the
law became operative and sentenced to
three months in Jail under the old law. His
attorneys contended, in their brief lately
filed with the Supreme Court that as "all
laws and parts of laws in conflict with the
in6eterminate sentence law are repealed,
the law covering Hicks's offense is repealed
and that the application of the indeterni-
nate sentence law against Hicks would be
ex post facto in effect, and, therefore, an
unconstitutional act.
The attorney general of the state says
that this is an ingenious argument, but
without basis in fact or precedent The
states brief In the case was written by AL
fred f. Dickey, of Dickey g. Aydelotte. In
the brief it is argued that the old criminal
code is still effective for crimes committed
while the laws were in open force. This
rule has always been followed, 1t is claimed
and the Legislature relied upon its force in
this case when 1t passed the indeterminate
sentence law. Without this saving effect
there would be absolutely no punishment
for crimes committed prior to April ] 1897.

THE MAINE DISASTER.
Messages That Passed Between Lee
and the State Department.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE consular
correspondence in part was devoted to the
Maine disaster and in this part of the cor
respondence some important and interest
ing points are developed The correspond
ence consists largely of cabIegrams ex-
changed by Assistant Secretary of State
Day and Consul General Lee The first of
the kilograms is dated in Havana. Jan. ~
and relates to the riots which were then
occurring in the city. This and the subse-
quent kilograms on the same subject have
been published either in whole or in part.
On Jan. "a General Lee was notified by the
State Department that the Maine would
call at Havana in a day or two. and was
directed to make arrangements for an inter
change of friendly calls between officers
and authorities Under the same General
Lee advised a postponement of the Names
visit for six or seven days that the excite
ment might abate. On the same day Gen.
Lee was notified that the Maine would ar
rive in Havana the next day and was asked
to cooperate with the authorities for her
Writing the next day General Lee in
formed the State Department that 1.-The
United States has an Interior purpose in
sending the ship. They say it will obstrIct
probably demonstration. Ask that it is not
done until they can get instructions from
Madrid and say that If for friendly mo-
tives, as claimed, delay is unimportant"
The kilograms from jan 20 to Feb re-
late merely to the reception of the Maine
and the exchange of visits between her Of
ficers and the civil and naval authorities in
Havana. On Feb Assistant Secretary Day
informed General Lee that the secretary of
the navy thought it imprudent for sanitary
reasons, to keep the Maine long in Havana.
He asked If some vessels had been kept
there all the time. and requested his views.
In reply. General Lee said he thought there
would be danger to the health of the
vessels crew before May. We should not
relinquish position of peaceful control of
the situation. he said. s'or conditions would
be worse than If the vessel had never been
sent Americans would depart with their
families in haste if no vessel was in the
harbor, on account of distrust of the pre-
servation of order by the authorities. Ii an
other riot occurs it will be against the gov
ernor general and autonomy, but might in
clude an anti-American demonstrate also.
A first-class battle ship should replace the
present one IL relieved as an object lesson
and TO counterfeit Spanish opinion of our
navy, and should have a torpedo boat with
it to preserve communication with the adj
miral'
The next telegram of importance was
sent by General Lee early on the morning
OF Feb. IL, announcing to the State Depart
ment the destruction Of the Maine. That
telegram has been published. During the
forty-eight hours that followed General
Lee kept the department informed of the
occurrences in chronological order. In a dis

Seeks to Recover $4,000 Trust Funds
Ionia Rushton yesterday filed suit in the
circuit Court against Anna M Bruner trus-
tee for the plaintiff under the terms of the
VIII of Purmelia Loucks. 1t is stated in
the complaint that by TIE will of Purmelia
Loueks, probated Jan. II. 1891. one-fifth of
her estate was devised in trust to the de-
1endant for the benefit of the plaintiff
Ionia Rushton, then Ionia Bennett. 1t is set
out that in April, 1891, all the devisees I'M
der the will. with the heirs at law. entered
into an agreement for the settlement Of
their interests. and by virtue of this se--
Element the plaintiff received, instead of the
fifth provided in the will, $780, which was
placed in the hands of Anna Bruner as trus-
tee.
1t is alleged that the trustee has had the
5000 in her possession ever since the agree
ment that there was no provision COMPEL
ing her to give bond. BY the terms of the
will she was to invest the money for the
benefit OF the plaintiff and from time to
time pay over the interest and proceeds.
If the income was not sufficient for the sup
port of the plaintiff, then portion of the
principal was to be paid over by the trus-
lee. The plaintiff alleges that the trustee
is iIlsoivent and las never given bond; that
the income from the $4,000 has not been APP
piled to her support; that the defendant has
rallied to carry out her trust by reason of
the fact that she has not safely invested
the money. and that she refuses TO account

trust. The plaintiff asks that the trustee be
made to render an accounting of all money
received and paid out and. il it is found

creased volume of stock transportation, but maintains the plant to attract this transportation and to afford convenience to the sheep raisers of the far west who want to get both the wool and the mutton to the great markets of Chicago in the best possible shape. which can only be done while the stock is on the hoof.
 For the cure of the various ailments to- which the sheep are subject there Is a "dip" at the sheep yard which is guaran- teed to help a whole lot in cases where sheep are suffering from ticks. scabs and other troubles. The cellar under one or the buildings is filled to a depth of six feet with solution containing sulphur and other chemicals. and in the center or IL IS a narrow chute about wide enough for the passage of a sheep. The animals are driven down an incline at one end, and forced to plunge into the solution ana swim along this channel to the other end. where they strike another incline and walk up into room where their coats are al- lowed to drain. In this way the fleece becomes thoroughly saturated with the healing solution. and insects which burrow under the warm wool and make life mis- erable for the sheep are killed. This pro- cess is known as dipping" and the treat ment is given the sheep whenever the own CT so requests. There is no charge for the "dip" and it is done to improve the quail ity of the stock, the insects irritate the animals and prevent their fattening.
 The power shearing process is said to be no faster than the work of an expert with a shears, but the advantage Is in the great CT amount of wool removed, which runs from ten ounces to pound more by the machine This is enough of difference to pay the entire cost of installing the machines.

comfortably warm in these barns"
 At the door of one of the barns stands old Tom, the Judas" of the place. Tom Is a. ram years old, who has bought his life and his "keep'' for that time by be- traying thousands of his fellow creatures into the hands of the enemy. About his neck he wears bell and he is kept closely clipped. Tom leads the sheep into the cars when they are to be shipped to chi- cago for slaughter. and when the car is well filled the old fellow trots out to get another gang for the next car. There is much trouble in handling sheep unless one can be induced to take the lead, when all the rest will follow. Here Is where Tom and another faithless sheep, Dick, come in handy. They have been trained to lead the stock into the cars and pens and all over the place wherever the em- ployes wish to take them. With strange, badly scared sheep at the head stam- pede occurs every few minutes, and lots of work Is required to keep the sheep headed in the right direction. But when old Tom or Dick, with their jingling bells. take the lead the sheep follow them docile- ly to whatever doom may be theirs.
 Work Is Endless
 At the rate of 1500 a day the sheep are sheared pretty lively, but the new arriv- als come in as fast as the sheared sheep are sent to Chicago or returned to the pens to fattetn, and therefore the work seems almost endless. Erickson says ne expects to shear 900 sheep this season, which will make quite a little pile or wool. ine railroad company charges the sheep rais- CTS cents for feeding, shearing and car ing for each sheep, and of this cents goes to the operator, leaving rather narrow margin of cents for the company from which to pay all expenses of feed and care of the stock and also for the use of the machines As each sheep eats on an av- craze three pounds of feed a day that bill alone amounts to a considerable sum. Indeed, it is asserted that the company makes no profit appreciably the scheme except such as is incidental to the fn-
