 At today's session the project Of the treaty for an international court of claims was presented by the >Xican deelga- hon.
 In all introductory speech Francisco L. De La Barra, delegate of Mexico and author of the project, said that the same was largely based on the Olney-Paunce- fote treaty of January F, 1897. with modi- Acations suggested by he objec"' ms which were made to the same treaty in the United States Senate, and which caused that body to reject 1t.
 The porposed conviction provides that Nhe parties thereto will bind thems' ives to submit to an international court all claims proceeding from pecunlary l"sees and damages occasioned to any State or lts citizens, on account of acts or omls- sions of another State or any Of its oltl- gems provided that such claims 'Snho' be arranged automatically.
 The obligation so to submit claims com mences as soon as it is demanded by another of the contracting governments.
 The court of claims will be constituted as follows Each contending government shall appoint one arbitrator who must be a jurist of repute. not native or the State appointing him, and the two al bi- trators together shall elect third enc who will preside. If the two arbitrators cannot agree as to the appointment Of a third they shall ask the chief justice of the supreme court of any of the Amcri- can republics to designate third arbl- trator who must. not be a native of any of the States Interested in the contro- Versy.

 Colder weather throughout the country has stimulated retail trade in heavy clothing. shoes, groceries and rubber goods and this has already been reflect ed in an improved recorder demand from Western and Southern jobbers.

John Henry, the young cOIored man.
who drifted into town last Friday aft
ernoon, is now confined in the county
Jail with charge Of murder in the
first degree hanging over his head.
Henry says that he is % years of age.
and that he was born in Jefferson
county, N. Y. He has no parents liv-
ing, and was reared until he was Is by
an uncle, who still lives in New York
state. Since he was 13 he has battled
for himself and has dTifted from pill
lar to post, with no object or aim i'll
the world save to have a good time
! He has been West but a few months.
He came to Seattle, as said before, last
Friday. and at nee sought the lower
end haunts. Last Saturday evening,
while in a concert hall. he became in
vOlved in an alteration with a bar
tender, and was roughly handled by
him. After he had been knocked
down, so he claims, and thrown out
of the room, he pulled a SO revolver
and began firing at the bartender. He
failed, however, to hit the bartender
! but did hit a bystander, who was in
| Stantly killed. The name Of the I'M
| fortunate man was H. P. Kinney, who
has been a resident Of this city for
number of years. Attorneys differ
as to the degree Of the crime com
mitted by Henry; some think it man
slaughter, others think it murder in
the first degree, others the second de
gree. while his attorneys believe they
will be able to show that the man
shot in self defense. Henry looks
young for his age, and would impress
one as being a mere boy, not over
IS years of age, if that.

prOmptness that the prosecuting at
torney's office is using to dispose Of
the Henry murder case. In one hour
after the cOroner's inquest had been
held the prosecuting attorneys office
had filed an information of murder
in the first degree against Henry, and
then and there served notice on his
attorneys that he would be given but
fOrty-eight hours to plead to the
charge. Though Henry's attorneys,
MeSSrS. Hawkins and Black, remOn-
strated against such brevity, the pros
ecuting attorney would not be moved
peg from his purpose. 1t is I'M
precedented in the long list of murder
cases in King county to not give the
accused a preliminary hearing, and
just why this man Henry was moved
against by the prosecuting attorneys
office so fOrcibly is a matter of street
conjecture among the legal fraternity
of the city. Apparently Henry has
committed an awful crime, but he is
entitled to a fair and impartial trial
just the same as if he had thousands
Of dollars at his back, and there is
no excuse for the prosecuting attOr-
ney's office to take advantage of the
man as it is doing at present. Give
him a fair and impartial trial, and if
he is found guilty of murder in the
first degree, or any other degree, give
him the full benefit of the law; but It
is a burning shame to railroad him to
the gallUws simply because he is a
Negro. The Negroes of this ON
munity have from time to time noted
the general demeanor of the prosecut-
ing attorneys under the present incum-
bent when one Of them has been
charged with crime. which has been
anything but fair; and the Henry case
is the worst of all

cided to not use gas in their houses.
Near Lockport, N. Y, not long
since, gold nuggets and fine gold dust
to the value of $1,000 were found in
an old shanty. The gold is supposed
to have been left by an eccentric old
hermit, who went to California in
the early sos, and after he had made
a fortune returned East and spent
the balance of his life as a hermit.

peremptOry orders have been given
to the United States officials to not
allow any bombardment of Colon by
either of the belligerents. Should
either side be so foolish as to not obey
the orders of the United States, then
our country would have another war
on its hands in short notice, and
that might complicate things worse
than has been even prophesied by the
most pessemistic creature in the Uni
ted States. For should the United
States become involved in war with
any Of the South American repub-
lies, there is no telling where it
would end and what European ma
lions would be drawn into the en-
broglio, but it could have but one
terminus, and that would be the alb
sOrptiOn of the entire South Ameri-
can countries by the United States.

The servant girl problem is seri-
Ously troubling the hOusehOlders of
the Canadian government, and at a
public meeting held in Toronto a few
days ago the women decided to make
an effort to import colored girls from
the Barbados islands, to be used as
servant girls. According to their re
port, there are thousands of colored
girls in those islands, who possess
more than ordinary intelligence, and
who would gladly come to Canada
were the facilities afforded them, ana
the Canadians entertaining no preju-
dice against colOred people, it was
decided to try the experiment. At
the same time they decided whether
they did or did not get colored help,
they wouldn't use Cinnamon.

If the Washington Star can be be

the first colored man to be entertain
ed at the White House by a Presi-

dinner. 1t claims that Professor Ben
jamin Banneker, a Negro noted for
his mathematical attainments, es-
pecially in astronomy, and also as a
linguist, was dined by President
Thomas Jefferson, and it further
says Hen. c. II. J. Taylor, a noted
Negro Democrat, was entertained at
dinner by President Cleveland. Both
Jefferson and Cleveland were Demo
Gratis, and this probably accounts for
the Southern press not making any
cutlery against this form Of social
equality at the White House

Some one wrote, He who laughs
last, laughs best" and the Inter
Ocean says the colored voters Of
Alabama are going to have the laugh
on their wOuld-be disfranchisers. for
when the new constitution will go
into effect there will be fully 10000
cOlOred men in the state qualified to
cast their votes as the constitution
commands, and it is thought by the
time the next presidential election is
on, more cOlOred men will be able to
intelligently cast their ballots than
ever before, owing to the fact that the
educational qualification test will de
eide as to whether they can or can
not vote. A similar law was passed
in Maryland, and as a result that
state will become an almost certain
Republican state, though it is sup
posed to have gone Democratic at the
recent election.
