HARD TO BELIEVE.
The Yuma Sentinel tells a story of
the killing of mountain lion by a
Mexican that is calculated to make a
man smell fish. II says that while the
Mexican was out gathering wood near
his ranch one afternoon he came upon
a lion taking a rest. Having no weapon
of any kind. the Mexican thought that
the best thing he could do was to slip
away unobserved if possible. But the
lion discovered him and prepared to
leap upon him. In desperation the
Mexican picked up agood sized rock
and hurled it at the lion. The rock
struck a vital spot on his head and
killed the lion instantly. He skinned
the animal and took the hide to Yuma.
TheI ion weighed over $50 pounds and
was eight feet long from tip to tip.

Morris tribune., 1900-12-22

Considering the fact that since the
Spanish war the British papers have
devoted columns Of their daily space
to American subjects, and that all
the Important ones have correspon-
dents in this country, the utter ignor-
ance that still prevails in regard to
American and even international
topics where American is concerned.
is little less than astounding. The
latest example of this is shown in the
British comments on the adoption in
the Senate of the Dayis amendment
to the Hay-Pauncefote convention.
Judging from the cabled extracts,
there is not a single British paper
that does not howl about the disre-
gard by the United Safes of the prin-
ciples of the Suez convention inyoly-
ed in adopting this amendment.
There does not appear to be one that
has any idea that the very words of
the amendment are taken bodily from
the Suck convention, and thas they
we're the only ones of that entire
agreement that were omitted by Sec
Rotary Hay in drawing the Hay
Pauncefote convention. Every paper
without exception seems to think that
the Davis, amendment proposes to
fortify thecanal, while as matter of
fact, it does nothing of the sort, leay-
ing prohibition of Notifications con-
tanned in the original treaty absolute
ly unaffected. The chances are that
this article will not be changed at all.

Tim senatorial contest seems to
have narrowed down to Nose Clapp
and r. G.. Evans. Both are good
men, but in this legislative district,
sentiment is. decidedly in favor Of the
former. The Grant County Herald
this week publishes a lot OF inter-
views which show big majority for
Clapp, and the sentiment of Morris
and especially Stevens county is de-
cidedly the same way. But since
the contest has narrowed down to a
fight between the cities. the lot of

treaty and striking out the clause
that requires the approval of other
nations for the treaty will certainly
be adopted. The Davis amendment,
if adopted, simply declares that
nothing in the first five sections Of
the treaty shall apply to measues the
United States shall take fer its own
defense. These five sections declare
that the canal shall be open to all in
peace and war, that it shall never be
blockaded, that no military stores
shall be taken on board of it, nor any
troops disembarked, nor any war ship
delay in it any longer than necessary,
and that the waters three miles from
the mouths shall also be neutra.
The treaty will be submitted to
England just as ratified, no matter
what are the amendments. If an
agreeable understanding cannot be
reached with England then the SEN
ate may arrange to build the canal re-
CARELESS of treaties. This is the feel
ing of many of those close to the adj
ministration. 1t is realized that the
greater the opposition in England to
amendments to the treaty, the more
heavy the pressure from this country
on congress to build the canal with
out detailed regard to treaties. That
the Senate intents to build the canal,
and not permit troublesome interior
ence by any country, is regarded as
certain by the administration, and
there is concord nf sentiment SO far
as the President and Secretary Hay
are concerned, but they do not care
Morris tribune., 1900-12-22

The investigation Of the case OF
former cadet Boos, who is alleged to
have died from the effects of hazing
at West Point, shows the tyranny OF
upper classmen over under classmen
is carried much too far. However
the under classmen seemed to have
played even in the way they would
often outwit their superiors.
