ord Drenking an Impossibiiity.
The third annual field meet of the High
School Athletic association, held yesterday
afternoon at Union Driving park, was some
what marred by the strong wind and eX-
treme dust This, added to a soft track,
made good records impossible except in the
sprints, which were run with the wind.
The attendance, while not as large as had
been hoped for by the management, was
fair. The cadets put up very good bat
TALON drill, making a fine appearance. The
individual competitive drill was won by
Rutherford, Gavin being second and Hicks
third. Gold medals We're awarded to all
three. The two-mile bicycle race proved a
surprise, as it had been conceded to Butts,
the winner for the last two years but Crane
started out at a warm pace and, maintain
ing it all through, won with hands down.
The contest for places in the sprints, 44O-
yard run and the half mile, was close. Young
Dailey's performance in the mile run was
very good, being made in face of a bad
wind. The summaries follow:

ANAMoSA, Ia, May 12-(specal. while
working in the stone shed at the prison a
convict by the name of Burns struck Bill
Carl another convict, on the back of the
head with a five-pound mallet, telling him
to the ground. Carl was dazed, but arose
and walked to the hospital, where his head
was dressed. In a short time he tainted
and became unconscious. He died, living
only two and a half hours after the blow
was struck. Before Carl became unconscious
he stated that he and Burns had never had
a word of any trouble. Burns has since
said that he thought Carl "had it in for
him." and was reporting him to the authori-
ties. He became so enraged at the thought
that without moments warming he, being
only five feet from Carl, stepped over to
where he was and dealt the deadly blow.
Burns was serving a two years sentence.
Carl was sentenced from Carroll for eight
years for arson. This was his fourth term
in prison, having served one term at Fort
Madison and was on his third term in Ana

Pardon for n DefauIter.

ATLANTIC, Ia, May 12.-(Special.)- Ut is
learned from a person who is in position
to know whereof he speaks, that Governor
Shaw has decided to suspend the sentence
of L.. G. Foster, during good behavior, on
condition that he pays the costs of the ac-
tion. Foster was convicted recently of en-
bezzlement of the funds of the town of Wiota
and sentenced to one year in the penitenti-
airy. Circumstances surrounding the offegse
were such that many persons we've persuaded
that Mr.. Foster was unfortunate, rather
than criminal, and as the loss to the city
and to the bondsmen had been made up it
was thought that the matter should be al
lowed to drop. A petition was circulated
and signed by most Of the people in the
community interested in the matter, asking
that the sentence be suspended during good
behavior. This was before Foster was taken
to the penitentiary. Afterwards the agita-
tion was continued.

ARRIVING Ar AN UNDERSTANDING.
Anglo-AmcricRn Commission Hn,
Mnhr Gnnd prnureaa

! Anglo-Amcrican Commission Has
Made Good Progress.
| LONDON, May 12.-With reference to the
progress OF negotiations by and the status
of the Washington joint commission the
correspondent here of the Associated Press
has obtained from the highest quarters the
following authoritative statement:
| Negotiations have never been broken OF
nor endangered at any time since the ad-
! journment of the commission. II matters
| proceed as smoothly as they are at present
doing here Sir Julian Pauncefotes return to
Washington will be signalized by the con-
! clusion of treaty embracing every aues-
! tion in dispute in manner honorable and
pleasing to the two countries.
| WASHINGTON, May 12.-Due notice has
been taken by the officials here of the
semi i-ofTical declaration from London re-
specting the chances for the conclusion OF a
treaty that will settle all the questions at
issue between the United States and Canada.
| All that can be said Is that the adminlstra-
tion will be extremely gratifed If Sir Julian
| PauncefOte returns to the United States with
new instructions that will meet the diff
ucltles which baffled the first commission,
for, as matters stand, it is realized that
nothing can be expected to result from a
| further meeting of the commission.
The statement that the negotiations are
to be deferred until the return of Sir Julian
Pauncefote to Washington is regarded as sig
niicant 1t confirms fully the original state
ment that the commission cannot meet Au-
gust next, for the ambassadors return
to this country was set for next autumn.
The dispatch also appears to convey an in
timation that the British government has
about reached the conclusion that the only
method by which these veXatious issues can
be adjusted is by direct negotiations be-
hn rnnresentntiVeS Of the qOyprn-
ments of Great Britain and of the United
States. The parties to the negotiations UP
to this point have expressed perfect conf
dence in their ability to reach satisfactory
agreement between themselves in very
short period of time if allowed to do what
they believed right so they will be glad
to be relieved of the intervening forces.
