ISLAND CASES AGAIN.
Interesting Point as to When Treaties
Are Operative.

Washington Feb. 11.--Soicitor General
Richards, in behalf of the government,
today filed in the United States supreme
court a supplemented brief in the in
Su!ar cases, reviewing some of the points
raised by opposing counsel, which had
not been hitherto covered by the gov
ernment.
One of the questions discussed was
as to the time when a treaty takes
effect.
Mr.. Carlisle insisted that the transfer
of sovereignty under the decisions OF
this court takes the place of conquered
territory at the date of conquest, and
in the case of territory ceded after pur-
chase at the date of the treaty.
Replying, Mr.. Richards says Thile it
| is true a treaty is considered binding
from the date of its signature, a differ
ent rule prevails where the treaty op-
crates on individual rights. He con-
cludes:
''As the individual citizen, upon whose
rights of property it operates, has no
means of knowing anything of it while
before the senate, it would be wrong in
principle to . / him bound by it, as the
law of the land. until it was ratified and
as to make the ratification of the treJ y
relat back to it's signing, thereby dvest-
ing title already vested, would be mans
ifesty unjust and cannot he sane
toned"

POPE Will GIVE
the BOY A CHANCE
HIS NEPHEW's OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESS CLAIMS AGAINST
CUBA, WITH PRESTIGE.

New York, Feb. IA special to the
World from Washington says.
1t is believed in ecclesiastical circles
that when the apostolic delegate. Mgr.
Martinelli, is elevated to the cardinalate
the official messenger to apprise him OF
the fact will be Count Giovanni Pecci,
the nephew of the pope. The consis-
tory at which the nomination is to be
made probably will be held in March.
The count is the owner of immense es-
tates in Cuba. During the revolution
much of his property was destroyed. 1t
is said to be part of the plans Of his
holiness not only to honor Mgr. Martin
ELI by the selection of his nephew as
the official messenger. but also to give
the count an opportunity to look after
his financial matters.
1t is presumed that Count Pecci will
take this opportunity of filing claims
for damages amounting to several hum
dred thousand dollars

ANTITRUST BILL is LAGGlNG.
The Senate in the Dark as to Proceed

Washington, Feb 1.-THE antitrust
gill was again under consideration by the
senate judiciary committee today but
~ progress was made toward securing
"a report. Some of the members of the
committee expressed the opinion after
gil. close of the meeting that no report
would be made at the present session of
congress. The bill as it passed the house
is neither satisfactory to the republican
members nor the opposition. The latter
element however has proposed that the
bin be reported as it passed the house
with view Of getting it before the
senate and there attempting to amend it,
but the republican senators have taken
THE position that the bill should be per-
f.cled in committee.
The committee has practically agreed
upon Senator Hoar's amendment eX-
enpt!ng labor organizations from the
operations of the present law but has
made no other definite progress.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE state de-
partment has not been advised of the
reported intention of the British gov
ernment to pardon Mrs. Florence May
brick, the American woman imprisoned
in England on charge Of poisoning
her husband.
1t is said, however, that Mr.. Choa te
has lost no opportunity at all proper
times to work toward that end and it is
understood his efforts have been partic-
ularly energetic of late.
OF course, these must be unofficial, for
1t would not be permissible for the case
to be made the subject of formal ex-
change. Secretary Hay. While ambassa-
dor to London, did all that he could in
Mrs. Maybricks behalf, and what Mr.
Choate is now doing is simply a contin-
uation of that movement 1t is hoped,
however, that he is working under much
more Favorable auspices and that sue
cess is near at hand.1T

Mr.. Tillman (S. C) had expected to

had said positively they were una :
to make Krupp armor for less than $54j
per ton. yet they had entered into
a contract for armor plate at lower
price. He would be satisfied. he said, if

NEGRO LYNCHED
FOR AN ASSAULT
PARIS, KENTUCKY, FURNISHES
ANOTHER SENSATION-WAR
ING TO CRIMINALS.

Paris, KY, Feb. 11.-GeO. Garter, a ne
gro who was in Jail here, charged with
assaulting Mrs. W. r. Board about three
weeks ago, was lynched by mob early
this morning shortly after = o'clock.
About thirty determined men appeared
at the Jail door and demanded admit
tance Of Jailer kiser He refused and
the door was burst open.
The jailer was overpoWered in an in
stant, the keys secured and in less than
five minutes Carter was in the hands of
the mob. He refused to make any state
ment. 1t was only the work of a minute
to place a rope around his neck and he
was then half dragged to the entrance
OF the courthouse. The rope was then
thrown over the iron arch leading to
the entrance, and while several pulled
on the rope, others lifted his body. He
died by strangulaton. The MOB then
Quickly dispersed. During the whole af-
fair there was not a word spoken.
Scarcely anyone in the town, outside
of the immediate participants. knew that
the lynching was to occur. The electric
lights had previously been eXtinguished
and the town was in total darkness.
Before the men dispersed they pinned
a card on the body of the negro bearing
this inscriptions:
This will be the fate Of all negroes
who assault white women"
The other occupants of the Jail. who
are colored, We're greatly frightened and
i their cries and meanings could be heard
fol- several blocks. Half an hour after
the lynching occurred the streets were
deserted. and the lifeless body Of the ne
gro was swaying in the wind.
The crime with which Carter was
charged was a most atrOciOus one, Mrs.
Board, who is the wife of w. r. Board,
bookkeeper at the deposit bank in this
city, was on her way home about &
o'clock in the evening. with her little
sen, when she was assaulted by ne
gro. Her cries and those of her son at
! tracted the attention of some men, but
the assailant escaped. Constant efforts
were made by the police to detect the
negro without avail. when Bessie Smoot
, of Ruckerviile. caused a warrant to b<
| issued for Geo. Carter, her brother in
law, on a charge of assault. picture OF
| him was secured, which, it is said, Mrs
F.; Board identified as being that of her as.

NEW LEVY Of
MEN IS NEEDED
BOERS GROWING IN AUDACITY
AND STRENGT"
NO MORE GUERILLA WARFARE
THE PRESS GRAVELY ADVOCATES
WHAT TO DO WITH DEWET
WHEN CAPTURED.

New York, Feb. 11--A despatch to the
Tribune from London says
The despatch which was issued yes
terday by the war office goes a long
way to prove that the big reinforcement
of 10000 mounted men now under orders
for the cape is really essential to the full
filment of kitchener's task. An engage
ment in which the attacking force
numbered 1000 Beers and which resulted
in at least "a men being killed, cannot be
considered mere guerilla attack. No
body nowadays affects to believe that
the South African campaign is virtually
over and it is quite evident general
surrender Of the Boer forces is not likely
to take place for some time to come
Louis Botha failed in his attack on
Smith Dorrien's camp, but, although he
suffered severely, he appears to have
inflicted sufficient loss to the British
forces to prevent the repulse being
turned into serious defeat The Beers
everywhere seem to be displaying in
creased audacity and peace proposals
are not likely to meet with a cordial
reception as long as the present bitter
feeling between the Beers and the
administration continues. In full
view of this unsatisfactory state of af-
fairs. the pronouncement on the sub
ject by the king has been such that par
lament is waited for by the country with
the greatest interest. Nothing would de-
light England so much as to hear that
DeWet's persistent attempts to gain a
footing in Cape Colony had at last ended
in his capture. Already irresponsible
people are beginning to advise the mill
tary authorities what they should do
with him. and one influential newspaper
suggests. in the event of his being cap
tured alive, that he should be tried for
murder.

POLITICAL POT-PIE


Last week, while the Pie-maker
was attending the State Press As
ISOLATION, which wa held in Tacoma,
he met Editor J. G. FARMLAND, Of
the Walla Walla Record, who pre-
dicted that it would not be very
many months before J. Howard
Watson, the prince of political liars
Of the Northwest, would lose his po-
sitiOn as editor of Levi Ankeny's
Walla Walla Union. Editor Frank
land was convinced Of that fact be-
cause, said he, "Watson is the most
ungrateful whelp that was ever Civ
en- brief breath Of authority. The
men who were responsible for him
getting the place that he was then
holding, he had endeavored to do
everything in his power to injure in
a political way as editor Of the
Union, and even in a business way,
and | am thoroughly convinced that
ID. E. CrockerS and Mr.. Ankeny's
friends in general will make it so hot
for Mr.. Watson that he will &c out Of
Walla Walla on short notice before
many moons" The Pie-maker be-
ieving that the above was perhaps
a personal grievance on the part of
Editor FARMLAND, did not take much
stock in it and passed it off without
giving it any great amount Of politi-
cal significance.

A new road law will soon be voted

speaking of the matter one day this
week to an old farmer, who is rather
influential in his Immediate neigh
borhood, he was led to remark: Il
do not see why the city folk want
to take the county road business out
of the hands of the farmers and put
it into the hands Of the county COM
missioners, who, for the most part,
have no interest whatever in the mat
ter other than to use it as a political
machine to help themselves and their
friends into office. Each community
and district should have the say as to
how the roads in that community
should be cared for. The city folk
have no interest in it and should let
the country folk regulate their own
affairs"

deal. If the Republican politicians
Of King county were under boss,
and this and that man who were sent
to the legislature would have to do
as they were directed by such polit-
ical boss, and should such political
boss choose to select Mr.. Preston as
King cOunty's candidate, he would
stand good show Of getting to the
United States Senate, but there is
no political boss in this county, and
the various districts will elect men to
go to the next legislature that please
their own political preferment, and
in that instance none Of them will
ever support Mr.. Preston under any
consideration whatever. These are
facts that politicians had just as well
look squarely in the face and talk
about as to beat about the
bush. 1t is no longer possible to
hoodwink men into supporting this
and that man because he stands well
with select few, for political services
are things of the past. For anyone
to succeed in politics he has to stand
well with the people, and that is es-
pecially applicable to King county at
present. Mr.. Preston might get three
votes from King county for United
States Senator, and those are only
problematical, and when he would
get these he would have reached the
zenith of his strength. Therefore, for
the benefit Of the state papers that
continue to talk Harold Preston as
a King county candidate for the
United States Senate, the Pie-maker
wishes to inform them that he will
not be King county candidate for
the United States Senate, at least not
at the solicitation Of King county
Republicans, and King county will
not support him, though he decides
to enter the race all by his one.
