EVEN WITH HIS HONOR.
Confession to a Judge After an
Adverse Decision.

Judge J. ST. Hurt tells a story on
a couple Of members % the Dallas
legal profession which goes in this
wise:
They were on a hunting AMI fishing
expedition TO Wynno's lake. ON the
day Of their arrival one Of the heroes
Of the story. who was al that time
a district judge. found a canoe that
had been buried in the mud. He
cxoavated IL and found Il 10 be In
pretty good shape lie washed OF
all the mud and ealkod a few moles
IN the bottom. and Il was a good
boat. II was a long. narrow AFFAIR.
and was evidently never intended
10 be built for two.
However. when the Judge started
out 10 FISH in his canoe. his lawyer
friend insisted on going with him.
Tho Judge vas sitting In the end to-
ward the lake. where the wate- was
about six inches deep and the mud
about four feet.

claimed the Judge. You viii turn

with that he stepped into the
canoe and IL capRized instantly. The
lawyer saved himself by A quick

profuaely. and assured the judge
that there was nothing Intentional
about a.. tina; 1t was purely an Acci-

divided what clothing he hal with

that he had sure thing, but the

TRANSVAAL TROUBLE,
Remarkable Runor Concerning
It in London,
UNCLE SAM TO MEDIATE?
1t is Said That Such a Proposition is
Being Considered.
IMrRoBADlLITY OF THE STORY
This Country Would Not Interfere
Save Upon Request of Both Parties,
and Kruger Would Hardly Ask
Our Good Offices.

LONDON, June 9.-The Westminster
Gazette, this afternoon, says a rumor Is
current from a well-informed source that
it has been proposed in responsible
quarter that the United States mediate
between Great Britain and the Transvaal.
1t Is added that the suggestion is being
considered, and 'it is even not improba-
bic that such mediation may be under
taken"
KRUGER WOULD HARDLY CONCUR.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Relative to the
foregoing statement, is can be stated that
the President would under no circum-
stances consent to extend an offer of
mediation save upon the request of both
parties to the pending dispute. 1t Is be-
lieved that President Kruger would not
willingly seek our good offices in this
case, owing TO the well-recognized fact
that in many points concerning the well
fare Of the Uitlanders. the interests Of
the United States are identical with
those OF Great Britain.
THE HAMMOND CASE.
1t is recalled that in the ill-starred
jameson raid Americans took n part.
notably Engineer Hammond, who was
rescued with difficulty by the State De-
partment, with the aid Of Great Britain.
from the death penalty.

Sitting In the midst Of the Russians

Court Judge said:

Admiral Stanton was puzzled at the
question and replied that he was not
born in Russia.
But you are in the Cars seryice?'

Peace Conference Accepts British

THE HAGUE, juno 9-The Peace Con-
ference entered to-day upon its most i'm
portant stage, when the Drafting Com
mittee Of the third section took Up arbi-
tration. According to foreign delegate,
the American scheme does not secm to
have obtained the support OF many Of
the delegates. The proposals of Sir Julian
Pauncefote. head OF the British delega-
ton, have the advantage of not sIddling
the Powers with the expense OF q per-
manently sitting tribunal.
The Drafting Committee was in session
for three hours, although not "A single con-
clusion was reached. with the exception
OF the acceptance OF the British scheme,
as the basis upon which to discuss the
establishment Of tribunal of arbitration.
The great Powers think 1t impossible,
It is said. TO go beyond Sir Julian Paunce-
totes proposals. The American and
Russian projects, however. have not been
abandoned. Sir Julian PaIncefotes Will
merely be taken as the basis of discus
sion, and the American delegates assure
the correspondent of the Associated Press
that the chief points in the American
and Russian proposals will be hlcorpo-
rated as amendments.

Mckinney's alleged robbery was commit,

To Governor Stone not 10 surrender MS

Mrs. Mckinney said that her husoand
