STA BBED BY MS WIFE.
A celorsd Man In Milton, Mass.
Murdered.

Milton, Mass, June 4.-Lewis Buckner,
colored, was stabbed to death by his wife
this afternoon as result OF a quarrel
during which as Mrs. Buckner claims,
her husband had knocked her down. Ac-
cording to the police the couple had not
been living happily together. This after
noon Buckner, who is janitor Of nearby
school, came home in somewhat quarrel
some mood but his wife attempted TO
make up with him. Her advances, how
ever, were repulsed and during the argu-
ment Mrs. Buckner claims that she was
knocked down, when she seized q knife
and plunged 1t into her husbands breast.
The first blow struck the man just above
the heart, while the second was nearer
the throat. He fell to the floor bleeding
profusely, while his wife went to a
neighboring fire station from which point
the police were notified. When they ap-
peared Buokner was dead and the woman
was taken into custody and locked up.
Later she claimed self-defense. Buckner
was 3s years old and his wife 25 and they
had one child, boy four years old.
Mrs. Buckner will be arraigned tomor
row in the Quincy court on the charge OF
murder.

It Will Be Relieved by
Regulars.
An Army Of 10000 Men to BE
Maintained There.

Washington, June 4--Adjutant Gen.
eral Corbln made statement today as to
the future policy Of the war department
respecting the military forces in the
Philippines. He said there had been no
change Of policy since the departure Of
General Otis and that none was contem-
plated. Under the law the entire volun-
teer army now serving in the Philippines
will go out Of existence June 30, 1901,
and the problem before the war depart
ment is how to get the 81 600 men of that
army home from Philippines before the
date named, at the same time relieving
them with other troops Of the regular
establishment so far as possible.
General Corbin says 1t is proposed to
maintain an army of 40, 900 regulars In
the Philippines so long as required and
to do this 1t will be necessary to draw the
troops now In Cuba. The army In the
Philippines at present numbers about 6a,
000 men equally divided between regulars
and volunteers. All ths volunteers are to
be brought home and mustered out at the
place OF enlistment, June 30, of next year
and In order to accomplish this the home
ward movement will begin next Novem-
bsr. They will be brought home, SO far
as possible, In the order Of their departure
from the United States. The plan Is to
have all the men at their homes and
their accounts with the government
closed on the last day Of their term Of
enlistment. In order that there may be
no immediate reduction of force under
General Macarthur, 1t has been ar
ranged to send regular troops to the Phil
ippines as rapidly as possible 20 take the
places of the departing volunteers. 1t
is believed that many Of the troops in
Cuba can be relieved from duty In that
country soon after the elections there
which take place on the 10th inst.
General Corbin says 1t is incorrect to
state that the time of the volunteer army
is to be extended or that reinforcements
are to be sent to the Philippines.

SURE HE WILL GET. HIS MAN.

Biddeford. June 4.-The authorities
who have been at work on the South Ber'
wick murder case are confident that a
solution of the crime that startled the
town by its unusual atroclty several
weeks ago win soon be found. Deputy
Sheriff Miles of Saco, when asked today
If he thought the authorities would sue
oeed In capturing the man who commit-
ted the deed, Deputy Miles said that in
his mind there was not a particle of doubt
about 1t. In reply to an inquiry as tc
whether or not any new evidence OF inn
portance had been discovered within the
last week, Deputy Miles returned an
evasive answer He added however, that
the result of investigation In the last
few days tended directly to substantiate
the theory along which the oiiiosrs have
been working.

from tho COMMITTEES ON inter-oceanic
canals today reported favorably the reso-
luton for the abrogation Of the Clayton

reads: That the treaty known as the
Clayton Buiwer treaty, between Great
Britain and the United States, which
was concluded on the 10Th day of April,
1880, Is abrogated.
In presenting the resolution, Mr.. Nor
gan made a written report traverslng the
grounds for the abrogation Of the treaty
in considerable detail.
In the report Senator Morgan says that
"if the Clayton Bulwer treaty stands in
the way Of the purposes Of our govern
ment, 1t must give way to the paramount
law II the House bill is enacted into q
statute Of the United States"
He admits, however, that 1t is a ques-
tion whether 1t Is an obstruction. The
effect Of the Hay -Pauncefote negotiation
Is discussed in detail and the conclusion
Is drawn that las to all that relates to the
canal the Hay -Paunc efote treaty, IL IL Ia

ing reply, which was submitted to Con-
gress:
''Manila, June 4.
"Adjutant General, Washington:
"with reference to your telegram Of
ED ultimo, Filipinos killed, 10,
wounded, 2,104; captured and surren-
dered, Il, 0,425; number prisoners in our
possession about 1000. No systematic
record Filipino casualties these head
quarters. Foregoing compiled from large
number reports made Immediately after
engagements is as close approximation as
now possible owing to wide distribution
Of troops. More accurate report would
take weeks to prepare. Number reported
killed probably In excess Of accurate
figures. Number reported wounded
probably much less as Filipinos managed
to remove most wounded from field and
comparatively few fell into our hands,
Officers high rank and dangerous sus-
picious men have been retained as prison

SLIGHT DEFECTS.

Very often slight defect of the
eyes causes more trouble than greater
defects. In the more marked troubles
the muscles are unable to overcome
the difficulty and so give up trying.
Vision is bad but there Is no suffer-
ing. In slight defects the muscles
do the work, but at an extra effort.
There Is a constant irritation. The
vision is as good as anyone's but the
extra work gives headache and in
fiammation. No defect is too slight
to be OF Importance. No weakness of
the eyes ought to be ignored. There
Is a constant danger of its becoming
worse and in time incurable. No
matter II your eyes only trouble you

attention. They will be easy to

quire more severe treatment. IA

Local Sporting News.

Gus Ruhlin and Tom Sharkey will
meet tonight under the auspices of the
Seaside Athletic club il fight that
is scheduled to go % rounds. No one
believes that the men will both be
on their feet at the end OF that time.
There is n great difference of opinion
as to which will he the winner.
1t is generally conceded that Rubin
has improved wonderfully since his
first meeting with the sailor. The ques-
tion that bothers the sports is whether
he has picked UP enough science to
keep away from Sharkey's terrible
rushes. If he can stand the sailor
off he should win. If he does he will
be right in line for a try at Champion
Jeffries. Every one in Akron is pull
ing for Rubin. The latest information
relative to the condition of the two
men is contained in the following New
York special:
All arrangements have been COM
pleted for the fight between Tom
Sharkcy, the former sailor, and Gus
Rubin, at the Seaside club tonight.
Both men have met before in the
same ring, and Sharkey easily showed
his superior knowledge of boxing.
Since then Rubin has improved, ac-
cOrding to the men who have seen him
at work.
Corbett, the former champion, and
a man who is the most scientific box
er alive, is one of Ruhlin's strongest
admirers. Corbett recently said that
the sturdy sailor would not have an
easy task as many persons may
think. 'I'm willing to wager said
Corbett, that Rubin will score the
first knock down, and I will also take
the short end of the betting on the
result. This man Rubin has more
than one surprise up his sleeve for
Sharkey."
Sharkey is one of the strongest fight
ers who ever stepped in the ring, Ms
he showed in his last fight with the
champion, when he stood the terrific
punches of Jeffries for % rounds. In
his first encounter with Rubin lie
knocked the Akron man out in the
first round without any trouble. While
he admits that Rubin has greatly i'm
proved in the last two years, he Is
confident Of again landing II Knockout
punch.
The betters have made Sharkey the
favor!te at odds of 10 TO Z. Up to the
present time very little betting has
been done. There is no doubht that
many big wagers will be laid al the
rinz side tonight. Corbeti viii be
Ruh!;u's chief adviser. and will sec
ond him during the fight. Sharkey
will be looked after by his manager.
