FOUGHT WITH p1TcHFoRKs.
Between White Man and
Negro-The Latter Killed.

Chicago, April 24.-Armed with pitch
forks, Horace Scott (colored) and Ed
ward Edmond, young white man,
fought duel to death In an alley at the
rear of 1889 Indiana avenue Friday
afternoon. Scott was stabbed in the
breast and died few minutes after
Edmond surrendered to the police
three hours later. There had been i'll.
feeling between the men for some time,
and Friday afternoon, when Edmond
attempted to drive through the alley
and was unable to do so because q
wagon in Scott's charge blocked
the passage, the old quarrel was re-
ncwed. Zikmond threatened to kill
Scott, and the latter ran at him with a
pitchfork. Edmond drove short dis
lance up the alley. Borrowing small,
three-pronged pitchfork, he ran back to
where Scott was working. When the
two men met they lunged and struck
at each other viciously with their forks.
The fight lasted fully five minutes,
when Edmond struck Scott's pitchfork
aside and then plunged the prongs OF
his own fork into the negroes breast.
Scott staggered into barn near by and
fell to the floor. Edmond followed and
stood over the dying man, threatening
him with the fork if he attempted to
rise. He stood over Scott until the lat
ter died, then ran from the stable.
Later he gave himself up. The prongs
of Edmond S fork entered SCOTS heart.

AN OCEAN TRAGEDY.
Nine Men Driven to Sen in an Open
Boat Meet Horrible
Death.

San Francisco, April 24.-The steam
er City of Para, from Central American
ports, brings details of an ocean trag-
edy. While the vessel was at Corinto,
an open boat containing the remains
of nine men who persisted months ago
drifted ashore there. The bodies were
horribly emaciated and the manner in
which their limbs were contorted
showed that they must have died in
terrible agony. Not a drop of water
and not particle of food was in the
boat.
In December last Louis w. Maslen, of
the Ell Triumfo Pier company, three of
the port officials and five boatmen went
out to the mail companys steamer ly-
ing in the offing at Ell Triumfo. They
boarded the mail boat and stayed until
signs of an approaching storm warned
them to return. The gale came up
quickly and overlook the boat soon
after it got away from the steamer. 1t
was never seen again until it foated into
Corinto harbor. Louis w, Maslen was
the son of e. w. Maslen. deputy naval
officer of this port. The names of the
other victims are not given.

BALLOT MARKING.
The Supreme Court Makes Special
Ruling i'm Regard to the Manner
of Preparing Election Tickets.

The state supreme court has decided
that an identifying mark on a ballot
must give evidence of having been made
deliberately for the purpose of identi-
fcation to make the ballot invalid. If Ia
voter attempts to retrace a badly-made
cross, for instance, and fails to follow
the lines so that a double cross is made,
it would not necessarily invalidate the
ballot. Such questions are matters Of
fact for the decision of jury in each in
dividual instance.
The decision is made by the court in a
case from Cedar county in a contest
over sheriff. The incumbent was given
seven majority by the canvassing board,
three by the contest court and four by
the district court. The supreme court
af1irms the decision in his favor, and
says that the result would depend upon
theindividual consideration of each bal
lot cast, which isin the province of the
district court and jury. 1t discusses
the matter of legal and illegal ballots
in a general way, but finds nothing in
the record which would warrant a re-
versal.

Washington, April PA cabinet Off
eer is authority for an absolute denial
bf the story that the cabinet Friday dis
cussed an alleged conspiracy in this
eountry to weaken the United States
In the Philippines.
Secretary Long, in answer to a di-
rect inquiry, said that the statement
WAS erroneous that the cabinet had
been charging any person OF set of per-
Sons In the United States with treason.
That was as far as he cared to make
any statement. Inquiry develops that
khe probable basis for the story is some
Exchange of opinions that have been
taking place not only among cabinet
officers, but among the close friends of
khe administration ever since the sub
mission of the peace treaty to the SEN
ate for its action, to the general effect
That the delays being interposed
to speedy action upon the treaty were
harmful. 1t was said that great en-
couragement had been given to Agui-
naldo by the attitude of the opponents
of the presidents policy among Amer
lean public men.
Since the conclusions of the peace ne
gotiations and the exchange of ratifica
lions there have also been some express
sions on the part of adherents of the
presidents policy as to the ill-effect
upon the public mind and the soldiers
dot actually at the front of frequent
publication of letters from dissatisfied
volunteers in the Philippines.
1t may be said that the expressions
were rather in the nature of regrets
than of complaints, but. as summed up
by cabinet officer, there has been no
disposition to attach personal blame to
individuals, but rather to note radical
differences of opinion.
