third annual banquet of the Mohawk club,

During her stay at Malta the Raleigh

STEWART MUST HANG.
Mexican Authorities Decline to Par
don the Ex-Confederate.

Austin, Tex, March 31.-A dispatch
was received here today from Chihua-
hua, Mex, announcing that the legisla-
ture of the state of Chihuahua had re-
fused to grant the petitions for the par
don of Mac Stewart, the Confederate
veteran under sentence of death for the
murder of a policeman at Parra1, that
state, two years ago, and that the death
sentence will be executed within the
next few days. The Mexican authori-
ties have made a thorough investigation
of the crime and declare they have
found the only excuse for the deed was
that Stewart was drunk at the time he
committed it
a petition signed by several thousand
ex-COnfederateS was presented to Pres
ident Diaz requesting the prisoners par
don, and personal appeals for clemency
were made by Ex-Governor Hogg, of
Texas, and other prominent persons.

REGISTRY FEE ABOLISHED
To EnabIe Cuba to Build Up Her Own
Merchant Marine.

Washington. March 31-President Nc
Kinley, by an order made public today
through Assistant Secretary of War
Meiklejohn, has taken the first import
ant action toward laying the foundation
for purely Cuban merchant marine
AS an initiatory step in that direction,
he has directed that all registry fees for
documenting foreign vessels in Cuba be
abolished.
The old Spanish rate for vessels was
50 per ton, as shown by the vessels reg
istered tonnage. President Mckinley
now proposes to abolish all fees. This
will not only allow the Cubans to pur-
chase ships in the cheapest markets in
the world but will enable them to build
up a carrying trade, which they so
much need, and which by an onerous
possible.
Cuba has no ship yards. With no
stringent restrictions upon the coasting
trade, Cuba is expected in time to es-
tablish ship yards of her own. But in
the interval, although not so intended
ship building nations, such as the
United States and England, will more
or less profit by the order. Cuban YES
local tonnage dues of only 2 cents per
ton at Cuban ports.
The coastwise trade of Cuba covers a
distance of over 5000 miles. The flag
adopted for Cuban vessels is a blue flag
with white ensign. Although no recip-
rOcal arrangements have been entered
INTO Dy WnlCn the CuDanS can trade with
American ports, nevertheless they are
privileged to do so; but, of course, their
vessels must pay the same duties as
other alien vessels. The United States
government does not guarantee Cuban
vessels protection outside of Cuban
ports, with the single exception OF the
United States. Should the Cubans carry
on a shipping trade with Venezuela
and Mexico, as some of the owners of
vessels have already done, they must
take the risks that accompany the act.
President Mckinley has also amend
ed the customs tariff ard regulat ons for
ports in Porto Rico. Hereafter shocks"
and headings" will pay a duty of only
Is cents per 100 kilOs. Heretofore they
have paid SO cents per 100 kilos, a re-
ductiOn of so per cent on this article
alone. The object of this reduction is
to enable the Porto Ricans to secure
cheap packages for the shipment of raw
sugar and mOlasses.
The president has also directed that
the customs tariff and regulations for
ports in Porto Rico be amended by the
insertion of a paragraph which permits
articles of the growth, produce and
manufacture of the island of Porto Rico
exported to a foreign country and re-
turned without having been advanced
in value or improved in condition by
any process of manufa cture or other
means and upon which no drawback
or bounty has been allowed to be re-
turned to the island free of duty. A SIM
liar arrangement has been made to the
Cuban tariff

TO FORM JEWELRY TRUST.
Attempt Being Made to Place Facto-
ries Under One Management

Providence, R. l., March 31.-A con-
solidation of the leading jeWelry manu-
facturers is being planned. The object
is to do away with certain trade abuses
and save expenses il distribution and
management.
The proposed trust will include firms
that manufacture nothing but plated
stock-collar and cuff buttons, shirt
studs, fancy pins, buckles and chains
great variety of these, and no one fac
tory can put out complete line which
would satisfy any retailer or jobber.
Nearly all these lines are made in this
section and in a few factories near New
York.
In the line of travelling expenses alone
the trade will make a great saving, as
nearly every factory has from one to
half a dozen men upon the road.

O, YE OF LITTLE FAITH !

But when an honest man SIS years Of
age and who has lived in our city for
thirty years and owns his own property
speaks, we must give ear to his words
and have faith in what he recommends.
For that reason we publish for the ben
eft of Topeka people the statement OF
A. H. West, 211 North street, Saginaw,
Mich, as follows: MY back was very
lame; was quite nervous at times, and
my general health was seriously I'M
paired. Some time ago 1 was induced
to try MOrrow's Kid-ne-oids of which
had heard a great deal, and procured
the remedy. I had not much faith in
1t, as 1 previously had tried a large
number of kidney pills and kidney rem
edies without any particular benefit,
full relief within two days after COM
mencing the use of Kid-Re-oids, and
that I am now entirely cured.
II regard my case as severe test of
the medicine, as so many others had
failed to help me. My advice to kidney
sufferers is to give Morrow's Kid-ne-
oids a thorough trial and find relief as
I did"
Mr.. West had no faith at first. but the
assurance of his friend induced him to
try once again. The result is given
above. Let Mr.. West be your friend
and if you suffer with backache, Sleep
lessness, nervousness, etc, take his ad-
vice and use Morrow's Kid-ne-oids and
get cured. Mr.. West is grateful man

PRINCIPAL MUST RULE.
Attempt at Self-Government IN Mil
waukee Schools Is Abandoned

Milwaukee, March 31.-Self- govern
ment in a Milwaukee school has proved
failure, and the pupils of the Twenty
first ward have gone back to the old
system of imperialism" Principal
O'Hanlon some time ago introduced a
system of self-government in the school,
under which the pupils elected officers
and a police force.
The scheme worked well and the les
son was taught that offenders brought
trouble and annoyance to the entire
population of the school room. But some
of the parents objected. They claimed
that it was teaching the children to be-
come "tell-tales' and to spy upon each
other. Then School Director Fahsel is
sued an order compelling Principal
O'HanlOn to again assume the reinS of
government.
