He Sought a Physician Who Could Cure
Him Of His Terrible AiiIlcilOn,

Special to the Leader.
Washington, -. c.. June 25.--Wm.
Herman, of Louisville, KY, decrepit
German, 65 years old, presented him
self at police headquarters in this city
and asked for transportation to Louis
vile. During the past two years he
has tramped over a large portion of
the United States seeking the restora-
tion of his health, and has been treated
in fully fifty different hospitals.
81 want to go home and stay there
until my sufferings are ended, the old
man said 81 left Louisville nearly
two years ago, and have since been all
over the country in the hope that
would find some physician who could
cure me. After an examination every
one in turn gave me the same answer,
and ! am now convinced that there is
nothing to do but endure my misfor-
tune for the balance of my life"
The old man presented most path
etic picture. His face is terribly dis
torted, his mouth drawn back nearly
to his left ear, and his neck twisted.
Both hands are crippled badly, but his
feet seemed to be in fairly good con-
dition. This was remarked to him,
and he answered: Yes, l had good
pair of pins until recently, but they,
too, have apparently gone back on me,
for in the last hospital l was at, John
Hopkins in Baltimore, they told me !
was threatened with locomotor ataxia."
The likelihood of being stricken
with the last-named terrible disease
had evidently something to do with
the old man giving up his search for
some physician who might cure him.
"If should give out on the road and
become unable to walk, don't know
what would be come of me. That's
why | am so anxious to get back to
Louisville.
Il was always employed digging
foundations and was constantly work
ing in wet, marshy places. One day
felt pains in my feet and next day |
was unable to go to work. About a
week after | returned to work, when
stroke of paralysis came, and I still
have its legacy. l heard so much of
doctors in Eastern cities that / came

have walked more than any man in
the United States in the past two
years. In some cities they were very
kind and would give me railroad
pass to the next town, but this was not
true of every town"
Herman will be sent home by the
police authorities.

PLUNGED
In Front Of q Street Car and the Dementet
Girl May Die.

Special to the Leader.
Lexington, KY, June 25.--Miss Flor
ence Minor daughter of Judge Minor,
of Brookville Bracken County, an in
mate of the Eastern Kentucky Asylum
for the Insane, attempted suicide by
casting herself under street car short
ly after three o'clock Sunday after
noon.
The car tracks run Immediately in
front of the Fourth street entrance to
the institution. Miss Minor was
strolling along the gravel walk near the
open gates with Miss Dooley, who is
her special attendant. She heard the
rumble of the car speeding along by
the side of the high board fence, and
before Miss Dooley could realize what
her charge was doing she bounded out
of the gates and cast herself upon the
tracks. Had not the motorman been
slowing down for the curve just ahead
she would have been ground to pieces,
and she may ct die from the injuries
sustained. Her left leg was broken in
two places below the knee and the flesh
was so badly mangled that amputation
of the limb was necessary. About her
body she was severely bruised.
Suicidal mania runs in the family of
Miss Minor She has made repeated
attempts to end her life Less than
fortnight ago she conceived the idea
of drowning herself in the lake on the
front lawn of the asylum, but when
she made the leap her dress caught on
the stone wall and held her suspended
above the water until Miss Dooley
could summon assistance One of her
sisters was Mrs. Thompson, wife of
the Georgetown druggist, who several
weeks ago murdered her babe and then
killed herself. Another sister and u
brother spent some time in the asy-
lum, but were pronounced cured.

By Associated Press.

Parkersburg, w. Va, June %.
Communication has just been opened
with Spencer, the county seat of Roam
county, and word is received that at
Reedy Valley an awful flood of waters
rushed down the valley Sunday at
about ten in the morning. The cloud
burst was at the headwaters of Reedy
Creek, in the morning and by noon all
the streams were out of bank. The
rain continued to fall in torrents and
destruction to crops, fences, cattle,
and sheep was the worst ever known.
At Reedy the large general store of
A. S. CheuYront and the postoffice
were swept away; loss $4,000. Every
store in the village was several feet
under water. The Reedy Boom and
Lumber Co. was probably the heav-
lest loser. Lumber to the amount of
$4,000 was carried away. The combin-
ed merchants losses are estimated at
$4,000. The Ripley and Mill Creek
Valley railroad lost four bridges and
as there are many washouts it will be
Impossible to resume traffic for ten
days.
On Tanners Run, tributary of
Reedy Creek, the home of the Miller
family, husband, wife and seven chill
dren, was swept away while the family
was asleep, and lodged against tree.
They were rescued by neighbors just
before the house continued on its
course of destruction.

MUST STAND TRIAL IN CUBA
SUPREME COURTS DECISION IN THE
NEELY CASE.
to Take the Accused to
Havana-End of a Long Fight
Against ExtraditiOn.

The United States Supreme Court today
announced its decision in the case of c..
F. W. Neely, charged with embezzlement
of the public funds of Cuba while acting
as financial agent of the department Of
posts of that island, holding that Neely is
subject to extradition.
Justice Harlan handed down the court 8
opinion, which was unanimous, and i'm
medately after the opinion was concluded
an order was issued requiring that the man
date in the case be issued at once.
The court held that Cuba is foreign ter
ritory. only purpose in the war with
Spain being to free the Cubans from Span
ish domination. The decision was based
upon the act of June 6, $780, which act
was held to be constitutional.
AS soon as the War Department is Off
cially Informed of the decision of the Su-
preme Court sustaining its contention in
the case of c. F. w. Neely steps will be I'M
mediately taken to secure the prisoners
removal to Havana for trial Neely is now
in custody in the Ludlow street jail New
York, pending the hearing of civil proceed
ings against him the charge of having
brought stolen goods into the state of New
York. Judicial steps will be instituted TO-
vacate the civil proceedings and secure the
transfer of the prisoner to the custody OF
Mr.. William Hinkel of New York, who has
been appointed the agent of the military
governor of Cuba for the purpose of re-
ceiving the prisoner when surrendered by
the United States government under the
application for eXtradition.
When all the necessary preliminaries
have been arranged Neely will be sur
rendered to Agent Hinkel and placed on
United States transport for transportation
to Havana.
The application for extradition was made
in May last, and Neelys counsel resorted
to every legal resource to resist action
upon 1t by the United States government.
II is said that the United States authori-
ties desire TO have the trial of Neely pre-
cede the hearing of the case of Rathbone,
VINO is charged with completely in the
same transactions.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
REPORTS THAT CHINESE ENJOYS
HAD BEEN EMPOWERED TO SIGN.

Secretary Hay was back at the State
Department today for the first time in
a week, and, although able to direct af-
fairs, he still showed signs of the severe
cold he has had for some time The Chi
nese question was about the first thing to
engage his attention, and when Minister
WI called at 10 O'Clock, there was a con-
ference lasting half hour. Mr.. Hay
had received dispatches from Mr.. COnger
announcing that the Chinese envoys had
been empowered to sign the treaty, but
the fact Of signing was not yet officially
communicated, either to the State Depart
ment or to the Chinese legation. Both the
Secretary and the minister felt satisfied.
however, that the press report Of the
actual signing was correct, and they were
gratified that that conclusive stage Of the
proceedings had been reached The Off
cial discussion now turns to the execution
of the terms of the peace agreement. The
State Department Is exerting Its efforts to
hurry these final proceedings to a close,
and in that there appears to be co-opera-
ton by all of the powers
The department has now received re-
sponses from all the powers relative to the
request recently forwarded to our diplo-
matte representatives abroad, urgently re-
questing that the negotiations be expedited
as fast as possible All Of the powers con-
cur in that view, anu express an earnest
desire to reach final settlement. 1t is
rather singular and unaccountable fact,
however, that some of the foreign powers
have referred to delays caused by the
United States, whereas the efforts of this
government throughout have been to hurry
matters along. 1t was for that reason that
the recent proposition was made to remove
the two points Of indemnity and treaties to
Washington, although some Of the powers
seem to have the erroneous impression that
that delayed proceedings. The State De-
partment adheres to it's purpose not to
make known the powers which favored or
opposed the recent proposition. But in
view of reports to the effect that Great
Britain was most strenuous in opposition, 1t
can be stated that the British government
was one of those which received the sug-
gestion most favorably.

SENATOR LINDSAY RESUMES
TRADE WITH PORTO RICO NOT
COASTING TRADE
Continues His Argument in the Huus
Pi1OtaEe Case Before the Su-
preme Court.

The United States Supreme Court today
resumed its hearing in the case of Charles
Huus against the New York and Porto
Rico Steamship Company, and Senator
Lindsay continued the argument begun by
him on Friday. The action involves the
question of pilotage, the owner of the
steamship claiming exemption ON the
ground that Porto Rican ports had ceased
to be foreign.
Not Coasting Trade.
Senator Lindsay in the course Of his argu-
ment said:
Should it be decided that Porto R.can
ports are not foreign ports in the ordinary
sense of the word. it would be violent
construction to interpret the language of
the statute Of the state Of New York,
passed in 1884, SO as to exempt from pilot
age vessels from a land then foreign, but
since brought under the dominion of the
United States. 1t is fundamental rule of
construction that laws are to be construed
of the time Of their enactment.
and 1t would not be reasonable to as
sumo that the legislature of the state pro-
posed to exempt from pilotage vessels be-
longing to after-acquired and far distant
territory of the United States, even sup
posing human foresight could have fore
from pilotage vessels bound to from
England or Australia or the Philippine Is
lands. Likewise the state OF New York
could exempt such vessels from pilotage
could entirely abrogate compulsory piIot-
age. This, however, is not to pc imnlied
from the general language in an act of Con-
gress relating to subject of an entirely
different nature, which cannot be reason
ably construed to affect the statutes Of
New York regulating pilotage.
Senator Lindsay quoted from decisions of
the court to establish his contention that
the term foreign port could be used in its
broadcast sense, and that in early acts the
trade between the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts was so considered as between for
eign ports Also that the Treasury Depart
ment did consider port foreign unless the
clearance of the vessel coming to this cOun-
try was given by an officer in a custom
collection district established by Congress
and exercising his functions under the laws
of the United States. San JUAN he argued,
was never made domestic port of the
United States and must be considered a
foreign port until Congress includes it in
one of the collection districts Of the United
vessels trading between New York and
trade.
1t was further argued that Congress did
not intend to make the trade coasting
trade, for trade was discussed as between
Porto Rico and the United States, which
would not have been the case had it been
considered that Porto Rico ports were do
mestic ports. None of the provisions of the
act to govern Porto Rico Mr.. Lindsay
urged. controlled or mentioned pilotage
and could be interpreted as affecting the
point at issue
