REDUCE THE SUGAR DUTY.
Presid'n Recommendation to Con
gress Regarding Cuba.

gress Regarding CUBA.
Washington, Nov. 2S.-President
Roosevelt, in his message to congress-.
will recommend the ACCESSIBILITY of re-
ducing the duty on Cuban sugar in re-
turn for trade concessions when the
Independent government in the ISL
and is set up and also the reduction of
the duty on sugar from the Philippines
as a means of stimulating the produc-
ton of sugar in those islands. This
information the president conveyed to
several prominent senators with whom
he talked during the day. Returning
senators and representatives fairly be-
sieged the president all day. Most of
them, however, simply called to pay
their respects.

''Have you anything to say?' asked
Justice White.
YES" replied the prisoner.
The prisoner said: "There was no
one else bat me; no one else told me
ID do it, and no one paid me to do it.
81 was not told anything about
that crime and never thought any,
thing about murder until a couple of
days before / committed the crime. {"
Then Justice White passed the
sentence as follows.
ain taking the life of our beloved
President you committed crime
which shocked and outraged the
moral sense of the civilized world.
You have confessed that guilt and
after learning all that at this time
can be learned from the facts and

pronounced you guilty and have
found you guilty of murder in the
first degree.
"You have said, according to the
testimony of creditable witnesses and
yourself, that no other person aided
or abetted you in the commission of
this terrible act. God grant it may
be so. The penalty for the crime for
which you stanl convicted is fixed
by this statute and it now becomes
my duty to pronounce this judgment
against you:
"The sentence of the court is that
in the week beginning October 2Sth,
1901, at the place, in the manner
and means prescribed by law, you
suffer the punishment of death"
"Remove the prisoner"
The death warrant signed by

the sentence of the court within the
walls of the prison on some day dur
ing the week beginning, October,
2Sth, next, by causing "To pass

TRAGEDY ON CHESAPEAKE BAY,

A Polander, well educated in
English, appeared near Bivalve, Wi
conico county, three days after the
shooting of President Mckinley,
representing himself as the dis
honored son of wealthy importer
of New York. He explained that
his love for beautiful chorus girl
estranged him from his family. He
secured a position on an oyster boat
manned by Capt. George Rowell.
While reading the only paper they
had seen, which was thrown to them
by a passing boat, he exclaimed:
"Teddy will go the same way within
two months" Herbert Haxell sprang
up and in rage cr,ed, "You wretch,
what do you mean?' Before anyone
could interfere he struck the Pole
with an iron bar, knocking him in
sensible. The crew jumped upon
the unfortunate man and were stamp
ing him to death when Captain
Rowell and Mate Horsey, with drawn
revolvers, rescued him. After the
officers had retired the crew picked
up the seemingly dying man and
threw him into the Chesapeake bay.
1t is thought he was none other than
the man that preceded the murderer
of President Mckinley on the fateful
day in Music Hall at Buffalo.

THE BUCKEYE CANAL
Something About the improvements
Recently Completed.

! AIessrs. WATSON ald Walker. the
president and secretary o. the Buck
/ eye Canal and Land company. have
I Just returned from an inspection trim
Of their canal properties. They report
thc condition of the canal and water
supply as being very satisfactory.
They-- have regarded their dam hereto
FORE as being the weakest part of their
proposition. and have been eXpendinS
large sums of money to place 1t on a
permanent basis. They have just fin
ished putting in over 10000 loads of
granite stone weighing from one to
three tons each. This stone has been
placed along the lower edge Of the dam
with smaller rocks as an apron below
The top OF the dam has been covered
with small broken granite rock. giving
the whole very creditable appearance
and enabling a four-horse team and
wagon to pass from end TO end on the
top of the dam. q distance of some
three-auarters OF q mile. The new cut
off has proved to be u great improve
rlaent while the new wastegate en-
a bies them to control the surplus wa
ters in a very satisfactory manner.
Tho Efassayampa river has been
lu,red which will enable the saving
II several hundred inches OF water
annually. besides relieving them of the
enormous expense of keeping the old
passage in repair.
TIE head of water ct their dam is
especially gratifying. 1t seems al
most marvellous that even during this
exceptionally dry season there has
been head OF at least $1,000 inches of
running water. The photographic sur
veyors have always accounted for this
enormous surplus OF water at the
Buckeye head as being due to two
things. The dam crosses the river just
below the junction OF the ella, Salt and
a qua Fria rivers. and the fact that
the bed rock comes UP to within eight
feet of the surface. forcing the water
to the top. Second: The fact
that the rock dam has sunk
down to this bed viii always
insure a NEST bounteous supply of wa
ter al this point. The progress made
in buckeye since Messrs. WATSON and
Walker took charge has been most
phenomenal. The Improvement of
ranches, their long distance telephone.
the excellent water service and the
high class of new settlers have given
the valley an impetus that it has new
cr known before since the building OF
the canal sixteen years ago.
The results obtained there with fer
tile soil and bounteous water supply
should he an object lesson in favor of
water storage for the Salt River valley.
It has always been commended by the
Republican that a bOuIteous water
supply IN this valley would double the
value Of the land. as has been the case
unde- the Buckeye canal The. COM
pauy now plans to install q new head
gate and sluce- gate. which will make
.hefr Improvement account close to
$4,000. but 1t has been amply demon
strated that nc better Investment
could have been made.
