Saturday was the sixth day Of the
trial of Charles r. Lewis, at Heaths-
vile, charged with burning the factory
Of Thomas Fallin Ed Moore, Of Bal
timore, testified that he had fiat-bot-
toned boat which was used by Lewis
on the night Of the fire. He found the
boat near Lewis house next morning,
and was told by the prisoner that he
used the boat on the night previous,
thinking some one was stealing his
oysters. Andrew Lewis, brother Of IL Q
prisoner, testified that he told him that
he burned the factory. The Common
wealth rested its case.
The defense introduced witnesses
several of whom were called to show
the luminosity between Andrew Lewis
aud his brother Charles.
Mrs. Lewis, wife Of the accused. was
called, and she was still on the stand
when court adjourned Saturday even
ing. She testified in part that she and
her husband were at their home at Lew
isetta on the night Of the fire. One Cf
them aroused the other, aud they
watched the burning from an upper
story Of their dwelling. She said that
Mr.. Lewis did not leave the house that
night. A great deal Of sympathy is ex-
pressed for Mrs Lewis and her chill
dren.

1T is rather 6 mystery why some
of the Democratic papers are 80 Sc
we're on Secretary Hay for his late
treaty with Ambassador PauncefOte,
unless it is because they are Demo
cratic and Mr.. Hay is Republican
1t certainly cannot be because be fav-
ored England in the treaty as some of
them .clsim. The Clayton Bulwer
treaty, made in 1850, guaranteed the
neutrality of any inter oceanic ship
canal across Nicaragua or elsewhere
on the isthmus, and to be under the
Joint control Of the two nations. This
latter condition certainly placed the
United States at a disadvantage, for
while it is not probable she and Eng
land will go to war with each other,
4 is possible, in which event the ca
nal could be closed against her
Therefore it was necessary that that
reaty should be annulled and new
one entered into in which England
would relinquish her right to own OF
control in any way any canal that
might be constructed. This was
done in the treaty agreed upon by
Mr.. Hay and the representative oil
England. So the United States
now has the right to construct,
own and control the canal, and
the only:obligation she will be under
to the most favored nation is that
IL shall be neutral at all times except
in times Of war between this country
and any other nation,in which event il
would be closed to our enemy. We
fail to see any English leaning in this
an the part of Mr.. Hay.
