SEVERAL of the Nothern States have
abolished capital punishment, and now
a bill is before the Legislature of New
Jersey for the same purpose. In all
those States, the record shows, murder
has increased as result of abolishing
capital punishment.
In communities like some of our
Southern aud Western States, were
hangings are rare and difficult to Sc
cure-at least for the white race
murder is an every day occurrence.
On the other hand, wherever the aboli-
tion of the death penalty has been
tried, murder especially of the cold
sblooded deliberate kind has invariably
become more prevalent.
In country like England were
hanging for murder is 95 per cent.
certainly, murder is infrequent.

M. S. QUAY, as Senator from Penn
Sylvania, is side tracked, and it looks
as if he would be the rest of the session,
congress having much more important
matters before it. One of these is the
Nicaragua Canal Bill. 1t has its op-
ponents. some from political reasons
and others from money interests in one
Of the trans-cOntinenta railroads, but
The demands for it are so strong from
all parts of the nation that it cannot be
much longer deferred. The unforeseen
results of the Spanish war, giving the
United States dominance in both the
West and East Indies makes an 18TH
E1ian canal imperative. 1t is also i'm
portant that it be completed at an early
date, if we are going to hold the Philip
pines as well as Cuba and Puerto Rico,
from the standpoint of both commerce
and national defence.

IGNORE CANADIAN COURTS.
American Niners in Disputed Porcu-
pine Look TO the United states
for Protection of Property

Passengers OF the steamer Dirigo. from
porcuplne. say the miners resident in
that portion Of the district coded 10
Great Britain through the operations OF
the modus vitendi, will ignore the royal
commission and court now sitting In the
disputed strip.
T. A. Marquam. a recent arrival from
Porcupine, declares that IL IS the inten-
ton Of the miners to do their assess
ment work and when the time comes APP
ply to the United States government for
patents TO the property. In this they
assert that they are acting in accord
with tho modus vivendi and the recent
letter OF Secretary Hay 10 Herman EN-
mons, chairman of the miners commit
tee Their contention is that the right
to have their claims passed upon by
American courts and officers acting UNI
der American laws Is no essential TO the
protection of their interests as the right
OF possession itself. Marquam said:
The Porcupine miners will not object
to the Canadians establishing reasonable
customs regulations. but when they set
