county jail.
After midnight an attempt was made
to organize a mob and lynch the pris-

volunteered to lead the assault on the
jail. If the attack had been made. a
bloody battle undoubtedly would have
occurred, as fifty armed negroes were
on guard In and around the Jail where
their friends were imprisoned.
Page and Owens were secretly ar

remove them to Portsmouth jail for
safety Immediately, as the authorities
feared trouble Friday night.

Deputy Sheriff Payne and the police
force waited at the station and formed
Gordon about the prisoners as they
were led to the train in irons. Not a

gone.

FATHERS HORRIBLE DEED.
In Fit Of Dementia He Cuts Short the
Lives of his Three Little Children.

In Fit Of Dementa He Cuts Short the
Lives of his Three Little Children.
At Halifax, N. s., Monday three in
nocent lives were ended by the act of
a crazy father, the crime being one Of
the most pitiable in Nova Scotia for
many years. The father was Sydney
Locke, a respected citizen and munich
pal councillor of Lockport.
The dead children are Ruby, aged
fourteen; Erminie, aged eight; How
ard, aged eleven.
Locke rose at an early hour, and af-
ter partially dressing himself, went
to the room where his three children
were sleeping. He carried with him a
G4-calibre revolver, Without a word
he placed the muzzle Of the revolver
at the head of his oldest child and
fred. The next instant he killed Err
mimic, his favorite child. Howard, who
was in beu by himself, attempted to
escape, but his father was on him in
a moment, and the little fellow, too
went down. He was fatally wounded
and died an hour afterwards.
Sydney Locke was a loving father,
out for months past he had been men
tally unbalanced.

Of Court.

A Washington special says: An.
other important exchange has occur
red between the Russian government
and the United States relative to the
tariff The Russian minister OF n.
nance, M, De Witte, has proposed that
Russia will Yacate all of the additional
duties levied on American goods since
the imposition Of the sugar dlfferential
II the United States will vacate its &C.
ton on the sugar differential. To this
Secretary Gage has replied that the
ofer OF the Russian government can.
not be accepted as the question of tho
sugar differential is now in the hands
OF the court, thus precludlng action by
the executive branch.
The proposition Of the Russian min
lister Of finance was the result of Sec
rotary Hays note of about two weeks
ago. In that note Mr.. Hay pointed out
that the action taken as to petroleum
was not new, nor was it meant to have
any connection with the previous &C.
ton of the government on sugar. This
appears to have confirmed Russian Of
ficials in their view that the petroleum
order was only another step in the
policy previously taken respecting SUI
gar.
M. De Wits response is not long
but Is quite to the point. It makes no
further issues as to the petroleum or
der. The chief attention is given to
sugar and the specific offer is made
to vacate Immediately the increased
duties which Russia has levied If the
United States will vacate its action on
sugar. This would amount to re-estab-
fishing the status quo which existed
before the United States took its mi.
tial action relative TO Russia.
The Russian proposition Was COM
municated to Secretary Gage, who re-
sponded promptly that as the sugar
question is now before the courts it is
not possible for him to avail himself Of
the Russian suggestions. thus the
matter stands.
The reductions which would have
resulted under M. De Wits tender
are those affecting cast iron wares,
manufactures Of iron and steel, boiler
work, tools for artists, factories and
workshops, gas and water meters, mo-
tors and dynamos, sewing machines,
portable engines, not including thresh-
ing machines, fire engines and other
machinery of iron and Steel also white
rosin, galipot, brewers pitch and BIZ
cycles.

was interpreted by General Gonzales.
General Gomez said he was almost

never knew until he came here how

people being free and relieved of the
yoke Of oppression.
Cuba and the United States, said the
general, belong together. 1t is only
question Of gravitation when they will
be one. But at present, after the great
struggle in which hundreds OF thou
sands Of lives were sacrificed and when
men returned to their homes only to

get along without the United States,

General Gomez referred to General
Palma as the hold-over president OF
Cuba, having been elected during the

0is fellow Cuban as the first president
of Cuba libre.
General Palma made a feeling re-
ply, warming to the subject of Cuba
libre, and speaking enthusiastically Of
the future Of the Pearl Of the Antilles.
After the dinner General Gomez said
to the newspaper men that he wished
to express his gratitude to the press Of
the United States and of the world
for the great good they had done to
the cause Of Cuba libre. He said that
when he came here years ago he was
very sad, but that ON this visit he was
very happy and was glad to recognize
how mucn the American people had
done for Cubans.
