Mr.. Henry G. Morse was in the
city yesterday and visited the ship
yard of the Harlan & Hollingsworth
Company to witness the launch Of
the steamship Nantucket. On be-
ing questioned about his proposed
new ship yard, which there has
been some talk Of him locating in
our city, he said it was not prob
able that it would be located in our
city. The capitalize mostly sub
scribed by Baltimore people, it will
be located in Maryland. The works
will give employment to between
1000 and 5000 persons. The COM
pany has been offered great induce
ments to locate on the Chesapeake
near Baltimore.

sons place. One thing should not
be lost to sight and that is that the
officers of the force should be taken
from the ranks. The new police, if
any are found necessary, should be
put on only according to their fit
ness. The force should be kept up
to it's present efficiency, which has
developed under the management of
Chief of Police John Dolan. The
chief has always given every person
who approached him, a respectful
hearing and treated them in cour-
teous manner. Tothis we can bear
testimony.

A POLITICAL MASSACRE.

Six Dead and One Dying as the Re-
suit Of Street Duels.
Hot Springs, March ia shooting
occurred here at $40 last evening which
resulted in the death Of FIVE men and
serious wounding Of one man. The kill
ed are: Thomas Toler, chief Of police;
]. =. Hart, city detective; Thomas Cos
lee, police sergeant; John Williams, SOD
Of Sheriff Williams; Louis Hinkle, a
driver Of brewery wagon. Ed Spears
was shot in the neck, and may die.
The shooting grew out Of the mayor
atty campaign under way here. The
sheriff was a warm supporter of the
regular Democratic nominee, while T0ler,
Hart and Goslee were supporting an op~
position candidate. Early in the at
ternoon shots were exchanged between
Sheriff Williams and his son John on the
one side and Sergeant GOslee on the
other, but no one was injured.
After this both parties determined to
have it out. Toler. Hart and Goslee
were walking south on Central avenue,
when they were met by Sheriff Williams
and his two sons, John and Coffey, and
hu spears. mo one can teH WHO hreu
the first shot, but in moment there
was general fusillade. in which 40 to
30 shots were exchanged. When 1t was
over Toler, Hart, Goslee and Hinkle,
non combatant, were dead and John
Williams was MORALLY wounded. Will
iams died an hour later. Louis Hinkle
attempted to separate the combatants
when the fight opened. He was shot in
the head and died instantly.
About 20 minutes after the main bat
tie another ARRAY occurred nearby. In
this battle Detective Jim Hart had the
whole top of his skull blown off.
The mayor, Immediately after the
shooting, appointed Judge L. D. Bedding
chief Of police. Deputies were sworn
in at once, and all saloons were ordered
closed. There Is little factional Feeling
outside of those engaged in the shooting.
Order was easily restored, and there is
now quiet. The sheriff and his son Cot
fey are under arrest, and no further
trouble is anticipated.

Townsville, Ca, March 1.-THE
news received in the press dispatches
that the queen regent of Spain had sign
ed the peace treaty ratification was tele-
phoned promptly to the president. The
president was much gratifed at the fact
that this last step necessary to the end
of hostile relations with Spain was as
sured, though never doubling such would
be the outcome. Arrangements for ex-
change of notifications and payment Of
the $20,000,000 yet must be made, but
no action by the president will be needed
before he returns to Washington. 1t is
likely that tonight TIE president will
start to Jekyl Island for day or two.

Washington, March 17.-By papnl
brief just. received by the apostolic dele
gate, Mgr. Joseph Stephan has been
raised to the dignity Of prothonotary
apostolic. This Is the highest honor
which is ever conferred on Catholic
clergymen outside the city of Rome. A
few years ago Mgr. Stephan was made
private chamberlain of the pope, with the
title Of monsignor. That honor, how
ever, raised him but one grade above
priests in general and did not constitute

Ca,ifornia,s welcome Rain.

San Francisco, March 17.-There Is
hardly a section of California that has
not been visited by rain within two
days, and in most places it has been rain
ing almost constantly for As hours. This
rainfall will prove the savior of the state
this year, as, had it not fallen at this
most opportune time, this would have
been the second dry season, but now
crops are saved, the rivers will furnish
plenty Of water for the miners and BUSH

DAMAGE suits are becoming too
frequent in our courts. There
should be some means whereby they
could be amicably settled outside Of
the courts, and both parties feel as
if they had been dealt with justly.
"Lawyers have to live" is an old
and true saying, but they should
be prevented by law from soliciting
damage suits. Manufacturers
should be encouraged in every way
possible and as few damage suits
brought against them as possible.
1t will not do to drive the large firms
who give employment to the wage
earners away from the city. We
need all the industries we have
with us.

TIE launchof the steamboat Nam
tucket, built for the Merchants and
Miners Transportation Company
of Baltimore, took place successfully
from the Harlan & Holllngsworth
Company's yard yesterday after
noon. Owing to the west wind, it
blew the tide out the creek and they
were compelled to launch the boat
Is minutes ahead of the time set for
it. Unfortunately > the Baltimore
people did not arrive until after the
launch had taken place. This boat
Is q companion to the Kershaw,

will soon be ready to leave the yard.
The boats are certainly a credit to
