MURDER IN PRINCE GEORGE.
A Negro Tramp Killed for Pair OF
shoes

Hyattsville, Nd, Feb. 6.-Tom Turner.
colored, was arrested in Washington. D.
c.. and turned over to the Prince George
county authorities, charged with killing
another negro named Smith Saturday eve
ming near Lanham's Station and the Over
head Bridge, where the county road crosses
the Baltimore and Ohio tracks
The prisoner says he is from the neigh
borhood of Petersburg, Va. He had been
working on the Chesapeake Beach Rail-
way, and with others had been discharged.
He and Smith started to walk TO Balti-
more in search of other employment. They
were joined at Deanwood by three other
men, and reached the Overhead Bridge
Saturday evening, where they decided TO
camp for the night After making a fire
in clump of woods two of the men fell
asleep Turner and Smith quarreled over
a pair of shoes which Turner had loaned
Smith and he refused to give them up.
Turner says Smith drew knife and
made for him, when. in self-defence, he
picked up a club and struck him and then
ran away. He says he did not know Smith
was killed, although he saw him fall.
Robert Darlington, colored, and two others
witnessed the homicide.
Coroner Rufus Belt. of Prince George
county, held an inquest yesterday. After
hearing the testimony of three witnesses
| the jury held Turner for the murder, and
the body was buried. The witnesses swore
that Turner struck his victim while asleep
and then removed the shoes that belonged
| to him and escaped. Smiths skull was
| crushed. and the witnesses were so fright
ened that they left the man and reported
| the murder at Guntlings store. The pris-
oner was taken to Marlboro last evening

Tor the religious fanatics in Hongkong,
who have gone to the extent of distributing
among the natives illustrated pamphlets
calculated to stir up the people to prolong-
ed rebelaion. One of these pamphlets,
which l saw, represented a peaceful camp
of North American Indians, upon whom
suddenly troop of United States cavalry
had descended, killing and torturing the
Indians in the most brutal and frightful
manner. Beneath is printed: Thus we ex-
terminated our Indians-thus will rwe eX-
terminate the natives when we rule in the
Philippines.
This faction is diligently at work all
the time, skillfully misrepresenting every
word the insurgents utter with regard to
the United States and vice versa. Thus
the report that Aguinaldo had sent word
to Admiral Dewey that if he did not move
the American fleet he would blow up every
vessel in the harbor. was a fabrication
from beginning to end. 1t is such things
as this with which Admiral Dewey has to
contend, and the tension upon his nerves
can be better imagined than described.
His Personal Message.
ITO his friends in Washington and the
East generally, the admiral bade me give
all manner of kindly messages, repeating
in farewell what / have already told you
L am deeply interested in the situation and
l hope TO be allowed to remain here and
see it through to the finish.
In this ! am convinced he was perfectly
sincere, as he was fond of the Philippines,
and from all | could see or hear would
be quite content to stay there indefinitely.
This is all. except for me to reiterate
the hope that the American people will
unite TO help the promotion of Admiral
Dewey as speedily as possible, for the
good not only of the admiral but for the

ney James r. Brashears, of Anne Arundel
county, has invited the cooperation of the
board of police commissioners of balti-
more in suppressing pool selling and gam
bling on horse races in Brooklyn and other
places in Anne Arundel county: In a let
ter 10 the police commissioners Mr..
Brashears says:
Il have received complaints from per-
SONS residing at and near Brooklyn, in
Anne Arundel county, of the open manner
in which chapter go of the acts OF 1898,
prohibiting the making and selling of
pools on horse races, has been violated
by residents of Baltimore city and other

Chapter 290 of the acts Of 1898 provides
as follows: 1t shall not be lawful for any

sons, or for any corporation, to bet, wager.
or gamble in any manner or by any means,

| take the most efficient means for the sup

SITTING THE TRUNKS.
Passengers on the st. Louis submit
to n HumiIiafing Search.

New York, Feb. 6.-The new customs
ruling that all articles purchased abroad
by trans Atlantic passengers must be listed
and declared by them, so that Uncle Sam
may be sure that no one brings in more
than s100 worth worked to charm On
the American pier yesterday for the ap-
praisers. but it was an annoyance and IN
irritation hard to bear for the passengers
concerned.
There were 200 of them-90 in the saloon
and 110 in the second cabin-on the 81.
Louis, and not one of them knew OF the
law that has been in force since February
l. They all knew they had a right to
bring in 500 worth of personal property,
but they didn't know that the Treasury
officials were troubled with a haunting
fear lest some of them bring in a few
dollars worth more than that amount and
Uncle Sam lose a few cents revenue there
by.
This was the reason there were forty
inspectors on the pier, when half that
number would have done the work in the
same time under the old plan. 1t also
accounted for the presence of twelve ap-
praisers. where five had been sufficient
heretofore.
General Appraiser Wilbur F. Wakeman.
who also finds time to be secretary OF the
American Protective Tariff League, was
there to boss the job, and there were u c
deputy collectors to receive the coin, and
they had an easy time.
The inspectors could not be accused OF
any lack of zeal. They were very thor
ough. Passengers in most cases had to take
everything out of their trunks down to tn,
last article. But they bore it patientl!
for the most part. 1t may be that few
secret vows to be kept on next election
day were recorded by, the Americans who
were thus humiliated, but II so, the vow:
were not uttered, except in one instance
and the inspectors got nothing for theil
pains.
The exception was Charles H. Wells,
muscular politician from st. Louis, whit
discovered to his chagrin that he had for
gotten to list small lot of preserved fisi
and some whisky on which the dut.
amounted to S4.70. If he had listed thes
articles he would not have had to pay, ant
he was mad clear down to his boots wheI
payment was insisted upon.
