ing the reins to the other with the
air of proprietorship, climbed down
from his seat and came up the path
toward the gate. 1t was old James
Hennessy. Mcfarland knew him well
as a character generally disliked for
his hard, grinding practices, SO differ
ent from the free, open-handed ma
lures of the people Of the settlement.
But the novelty of being a stranger in
his native village was wearing away
and Mcfarland called out Pleasantly
enough;
Good morning, Mr.. Hennessy. Have
you forgotten the son Of your neigh

Farland, "and that is better than hay-

would have been the case had I stayed
at home"
We'll, you're back in good time"
chuckled the old man. There's going
to be a pretty wedding here this morn
ing and if you're civil you may get the
chance to salute the bride"
Good luck to h.. sure. And who

The old man Strengthened himself.

"You saw her go in a moment ago
Mollie Wescott."
"Mollie Wescott! Impossible"
why not?" snorted Hennessy. "Is
there anything strange about a fine
young woman fancying a man with a
thousand acres of land and a good
bank account? Especially" he added
with a leer, when her father is bank
rupt."
"Do you mean that Wescott has lost
his farm?"
Eyes, or would have lost it if a good
friend had not stood by him."
"You old devil" cried Mcfarland,
advancing upon the other with clenched
hands. $50 you've got Wescott in a
tight place and are forcing him to give
you his pretty daughter to save him
from ruin"

hurriedly entered the church. Nc
Farland saw that she was pale, had
a sad, hopeless look that went straight

ACCUSED OF DRUNKENNESS
Captain Tilley, Commandant at Tutila, is Ordered Home
 from Samar.

Washington, Oct. 9.-Reports have reached the Navy Department from Tutila. Samoa, complaining of the con- duct of Captain Tilley. commandant al that station. It is alleged that on more than one occasion the commandant has been seen under the influence of liquor and his conduct was unbecoming an of ficer.
 Acting Secretary Hackett has directed the Colnmander-in-C Chief of the Pacific souadron to proceed to Samoa to ascer- tain the truth with regard to the charge. and if necessary to hold a court for the trial of Captain Tilley.
 The Department has detached Captain riley from command of the Aberenda and of the station, and ordered him to proceed by the next steamer to San Fran cisco from Tutila.
 The charges. 1t is proper to say, were received by the Department with sur prise. since the record of Captain Tilley hitherto has been unblemished. The ad- of his office, as reported of- hcially from time to time, has been satisfactory.
 There has been no ground for suppos. ing that this officers conduct was other wise than what 1t should have been.

CHING MAKES REQUES

Pe1kfn, Oct. s.-Prince Ching has writ questing a withdrawal from Pekin of the foreign business establishments He says that Pekin is not treaty port; that foreign business houses have been iIie- gally established here and that all such should be moved to treaty ports. He desires the ministers to secure their re- movaL
 The ministers have arranged fer a meeting on the request of Dr. Mumm von Schwartzenstein. German Minister, to en- deavor to agree upon joint representa- tions in opposition to Prince Chings de- ment of octori by foreign merchants ap- pears to have precipitated the issue. One foreign house doing large business with the Chinese objected to the octori tax. arguing that the goods were for the use of the legations.
 Prince Ching points out that goods re- quired by the legations can be ordered by them from treaty ports and when so ordered are not dutiable.
 Foreign Business Important.
 The foreign goods community in Pekin although small is important. It's presence is esential to the comfort and convenience of the legations and it's members hope their status may now be definitely set- tied. Foreign houses began to be located in Pelxin in the eighties with the tacit consent of the Chinese. The Hong Kong, the Shanghai and the Husso-C Chinese banks established branches here before the siege of the legations; a hotel was opened and a few merchants got foot. ing. The Yokohama specie banks 1ntend- ed to establish branches here and there are now many foreign shops the Ger mans predominating. in tho vicinity of the legation quarter. These have made their appearance since the military occu- patton began and have increased the ble trade with the Chinese
 When the demands to be included in the protocol were framed. Mir. Conger proposed including the opening of Pelin to foreign trade This suggestion was favored by a majority of the ministers of the powers; but M. DeGiers (Russian Minister) opposed it so strongly that the question was dropped because of the necessity of unanimity. The provision of the protocol in article II for revising commercial treaties affords an opportuni- ty for opening Pekin which the ministers are considering.

PAY OF CUBAN ARMY.
General Gomez Explains Position of
 Senor Palma.

Havana. Oct. 9.-GeneraI Maxlmo Co., meg. in an open letter to the press. says that the recent reply of Senor Estrada Palma to the request for a definition of his views to the policy he would fol- low if elected President of Cuba should not be interpreted to mean that Senor Palma believes that the army ought to be paid
 His words with reference to the army" continues General Gomez, "are, inspired y the loftiest patriotism. With him, I bc clieve that some formula should be de- vi5od to pay a sacred debt without throw ing a heavy burden upon the republic Moreover, the army list should be re-
 ised SO that the exact amount due may be known. The Cubans had no thought of reward when they were fighting, un- paid and half starved. and 1t Is an insult to them to insinuate that the election of a candidate for the Presidency depends on his pledges to pay the Cuban troops"

PERJURY IS ANIMATED
HAWKES. SAYS EVIDENCE OF
 OTHERS IS INCORRECT.
Declares That He Does Not Believe Witnesses Before the Senate Committee Have Sworn
 to the Truth.

Washington, Oct. .9-When the Senate Committee on Military Affairs today re- stunned it's hearing of the charges against Lieutenant-C Colonel Heistand Major Hawkes.. the prosecuting witness, was called to submit some evidence in rebut- tai, which he desired to present. Major Hawkes. said that upon his return from the Philippines, he called upon the Sec retary of War and demanded to know the cause of his renoval.
 Judge Mackey. Hawkes's attorney, en- tered upon line of questioning. intended to draw the Secretary of War into the controversy, but he was stopped by Sena- tor Cockrell, who announced that no such questions would be permitted. as the Secretary was not under investigation.
 Major Hawkes.. in correcting his testi- mony, had added statement that Judge Boyd was not to subscribe for hemp stock but was to receive 1t for the use of his name. This called out several questions as to the division of stock, and Hawkes. said it was understood that the names of the other persons were not to appear on the stock books To avoid this, 1t was agreed between himself and Heis- tand that the $15O,OO0 of stock was to be carried in Hawkess name.
 Senator Cockrell asked him why he had
 
 very important matter.
 Major Hawkes. said he had never said anything to any of the persons about the matter. Under close questioning, Ma ior Hawkes. admitted he had said to Judge Boyd that he was not to pay for the stock, "or words to that effect" He was asked what reply Judge Boyd made and said he answered that 1t was all right, "or words to that effect"
 Replying to questions by Senator Cock rell. Hawkes. said he had been on very friendly terms with Judge Boyd and would have spared him If possible He added that he was much disappointed in the evidence given by the several wit nesses before the committee. Senator Cockrell asked him how he could be dis appointed when he was informed by all of them that they had no connection with the hemp company. Hawkes. replied that he expected they would testify differently.
 Don't you think they have sworn to the truth" inquired Senator Cockrell.
 q do not" retorted Hawkes. hotly.
 At the close of today's hearing the com nittee held brief executive session, and then announced an adjournment until November 1S when two witnesses. Lewis P. Jackson and Duncan E. Harrison, who could not attend the pre.ent sitting, will he in attendance. The report of the com mfttce will not be formulated until after the next session.

INVENTOR OF THoRITE DEAD. Dr. H. P. Futile Expires Very Sud-
 deuly

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 9.-Dr. H. F. Tut tie, we'll known as the inventor of the explosive thorite. dropped dead at his home in this city today.
 Thorite, the explosive, which Dr. Futile discovered, was the result of experiments which he undertook in Tacoma shortly after the discovery of gold in the klon- dike. when miners were in need of some explosive that could be used in the frozen ground of that region. It proved to be a wonderful invention and at once attracted the attention of army circles at Washington. Arrangeme nts were made for testing the new explosive and its test fully justified the claims Dr. Futile had made for it. It possessed remarkable qualities for use in projectiles intended to pierce heavy armor plate.
 Congress has passed bill appropriat- ing $5o,000 for the purchase of the thorite invention in conjunction with the Isslm shell, but certain provisions were em- bodied which prevented the negotiations being carried to a successful termination.
