Commission Well Satisfied.

New York, Jan. pa dispatch to the
Herald from WASHINGTON says: The
Cuban commissioners who have been in
WASHINGTON for six weeks upon affairs
connected with the plans for future gov
eminent, have completed their work and
will soon sail for Havana. They will
proceed to Santa Cruz and report to the
assembly. The commissioners express
great satisfaction. and state that they
have succeeded in gaining favorable &C
ton upon all their requests.
One commissioner says that certain
amount would be advanced by the United
States for the payment of the Cuban SOL
diers. and upon receipt the army will i'm
medately be diSbanded. Just how much
would be granted or how much each SOL
der would receive he would not say. This
amount will be secured by the revenues of
the island over which the American gov
eminent will have control until the debt
is paid. The members of the commission
were disinclined to discuss the success of
their mission until their report has Ieen
submitted to the Cuban assembly.

the rapidity with which 1T was carried on.
or late years General Anenkoff had de-
voted himself to the trans-Siberian rail-
way undertaking, which he was personal

other Russian. 1t was his effective pre-
sentation of the plans for the road at
Paris that secured the support of flnan-

Bullet.
The medical records of Company II
of the list New York volunteers pre-
sent an odd case of mistaken diagnosis.
During the night attack on San juan
hill a private named NARROW was lying
some distance back of the trenches,
and just behind him lay Corporal 3sut-
ton. All the men here were exposed TO
raking fire, and at a certain moment
Sutton lifted himself little and turn
ed to bid some soldiers behind him lie
closer to the ground. That second a
Mauser bullet passed clear through
Marlow's body, entering Sutton's back,
passed nearly through his body and
landed against a rib on the right side,
which was fractured. simultaneously
with this shot Sutton turned to the
front and, feeling the jar of his broken
rib, but feeling nothing in the back,
concluded he had been struck in the
breast. And so he reported to the
doctor who examined him little later.
The doctor found a bruise on the
right side and rib in two pieces, but
saw no bullet wound, since none was
there. So his diagnosis was that SUIT
ton had been injured by the butt of his
own rifle, driven into his side when the
bullet from Marlow's body struck it.
And this opinion was confirmed in the
hospital later on, was confirmed again
on poafd the transport ana IL was not
until Sutton reached the hospital at
Newport News, weeks after the shoot
ing, that the bullet hole in the back
was discovered, and the bullet itself To-
Gated near the fractured rib.
In explanation of this seemingly i'm
probable affair, it should be borne in
mind that soldiers on the field of bat
tie have no chance to take their shirts
off for days at a time. Also that the
small wounds of entry by Mauser bull
lets often bleed not at all, but close
up quickly, leaving only a small red
mark, easily overlooked Finally, it
was natural that Sutton should think
that the injury had been Inflicted
where the bruise was and where he
felt the pain. How can man be ex-
pected to know that discoloration or
his side has been caused by a blow
from within!

No. II Queen Victoria street (Mansion
House Chambers). in the city of Lon
don, is situated in no fewer than six
parishes. arising from the curious way
in which the city parishes run into
one another. There are several in
stances of buildings standing in four
or three parishes, and at least one
house is half in the city and half be-
yond it's borders. The Bank of Eng
land, Threadneedle street. is in three
parishes-St. Bartholomew, st. Chris
topher-Te-Stocks and st. Margaret.
The city of London, though only one
square mile in area, has go parishes,
none of them of very great dimensions,
but some of an almost inconceivably
small size. The parish of st. Mary
Mounthaw, for instance. which, has
only six houses in it, is the smallest
parish in the city. This parish stands
at the corner of Queen Victoria and
Friday streets, and has not possessed
a church since the great fire of Lon
don, in 1866 burned down the one it
formerly had.

ELEVEN MURDER CHARGES
The Usual Variety of Excuses Offered by
Men Who Do Not Wish to Serve

Judge Clancy empaneled a trial jury
yesterday for the purpose of trying a
score or more of candidates for the
penitentiary and the gallows. There
are 10 or II persons to be tried for MUIR

had excuses to offer in the hope of es-
Gaping jury duty, and some We're sue
cessful and got off, but more We're not.
Some were excused because they said
they were not taxpayers, some were
not full citizens. others We're sick or
had sickness in the family, and several
declared that they could not afford to
serve on jury, evidently regarding
that duty as a luxury. A number Of
fered business reasons as an excuse,
them.
Joe Hoskins said he could not serve
because he was working.
Every man is supposed to work at
something" said the court, land that
is no excuse"
A well-known business man said he
did not have time to attend upon the
court.

probably need as much protection as
any one replied the court. Your eX-
cuse cannot be entertained"
A man named Whitney said he was
sick, but the judge thought he had
never seen him look so well. 1t oc-

Favorably Reported.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The Carter bill
relating to the government of Alaska
was favorably reported to the house
by Mr.. Broderick of the house COM
mittee on territories. 1t preserves the
general plan of the senate bill, but
makes numerous changes. An impor-
tant amendment provides that when
ever practicable, the secretary of the
interior shall require that all children
between the ages of and Is years shall
attend public or private schools where
the instruction shall be in English at
least three months in each year"
Another amendment gives the term of
the United States district court at Skag-
uay in August each year. Other changes
give appointments of notaries to the
governor, increases the governors sal
airy from $4,000 to $1,000, and decreases
the judges salary from $4,000 to $4,000,

bate procedure under the laws of Ore

f1cations as retained in the bill with
some notifications the report says:
The question of a property qualifi-
cation of any kind for a voter of
member of the senate is an important
one, and calculated to excite antag-
onism to the United States, but such a
qualification has long prevailed in Ha-
wall, and as far as can be ascertained,
meets the approval of the people.
The requirements have gradually
grown less prohibitive and that now
proposed is the most liberal and the
commissioners in their report look for
it's final extension, but the present time
is not favorable to the experiment 1t
insures as far as possible, conserva-
tive body in the legislative body of
Hawaii, at an important period of its
history. 1t permits a large number of
native Hawaians to vote for members
of the upper house, and the objections
to this provision are largely met by the
removal of all property qualifications
for membership of the lower house for
reelection of members of that body.
Thus, popular house is created, all
classes are represented and each house
will be a check upon the other"
