"PLAlN DUTY" TO CUBA.

The Administration has ntered
into new obligations to the Cuban
people. Under the terms of the Tel
Ter resolution, which bound us to
treat Cuba as an absolutely indepen-
dent republic, we might, if we chose,
have washed our hands of her as soon
as the work of paciication was COM
pleted. We might have slammed
our tariff gate in her face and told
her to look out for herself.
But President Mckinley did not
adopt that easy course. He insisted
upon taking the Cubans under his
wing, much against their will. He
urged them to accept the Platt amend
ment, under which they were to be
the wards of the United States, Civ
ing us control of their finances. their
foreign relations and their defence,
allowing us to help ourselves to coal
ing stations on their coast, and lecog-
nizing our right TO intervene in their
affairs for the maintenance of order.
After all that the President cannot
show the Cubans the door when they
asked for trade privileges here. He
is morally bound to offer them some
return for the concessions they grant
to us. Just now our Government is
framing new Cuban tariff and Amer
lean business men are swarming to
Washington demanding such ar
engagements as will promote their in
te1ests At the same time they are
said to be unwilling to grant the
Cubans any favors whatever.
This selfish greed cannot be made
an American national policy. We
must give Cuba half way decent
treatment We deprived her of the
advantages in European markets tina
ste enjoyed under Spanish ,ule, ant
we must rot make liberation anothe
name for starvation.
The fanatical protectionists here ar
already announcing that Cuba shall
have no favors here-that a reciproc
ity arrangement with her cannot evel
be discussed. They talked the same
way about Porto Rico, but they were
beaten there and they can be beate,
now. But the President must hav
little more courage than he display
ed when he weakened in the matte

FATAL FIGHT
Takes Place at Church Meeting
in Trigg.
One rIember Slabs Another in the
Back and Knife Pence
trates Hollow.

The row at a colored church
meeting at Rocky Ridge, Trigg
county, on Sunday, the 10th inst,
had fatal termination. The mat
ter of employing preacher for the
year was being considered by some
of the members when the proceed
ings were interrupted by other
members and the lie was passed.
William Faulkner then rolled up
his sleeves and went after Fields
Hopson, his brother in the church,
striking several blows. Hopson
succeeded in drawing his knife and
stabbed Faulkner in the back sew
.eral times. The men were finally
separated and the meeting pro
ceeded to its conclusion without
further disturbance. Faulkner S
wounds were dressed and it was
not thought that he was very badly
wounded, but it developed that the
knife had penetrated the hollow,
and death resulted last Thursday.

JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
Plaintiff Gets Damages for Alleged
Permanent Injuries.

The judgment of the lower court
in awarding Milton Jackson 81 $780,
SO damages against the L. & N
Railroad was affirmed. The plain
tiff was a freight conductor for some
time in charge of the train running
between GAINESVILLE and Gracey,
and while coupling cars stepped on
a pinch bar and fell under the
train, receiving permanent injuries
The court held that while the sta
ton agent was guilty of neglect, in
not keeping obstacles off of the
company 8 tracks, and thus made
them liable for an action for dam
ages, he was not fellow servant
with the conductor, as plaintiffs

REVERSED.
Morrison Murder Case Remand
ed for New Hearing.
Defendant Had Been Improperly
Forced to Exhaust Two of
His Challenges.

The Supreme Court OF Tennessee
has granted new trial in the case
of Will Morrison, of the Pembroke
ueighborhood, convicted of the MUIR
der of Douglass Kaufman, OF
Slaughtersville, and sentenced to
be hanged. In the brief the at
torneys for the defendant claimed
that the killing was done in self
defense. and that the Judge had
forced four men on the jury who
had made up their minds by read
ing newspaper account OF the
homicide. The court held that the
act of 1899, which made such men
competent for jury service, was not
unconstitutional, as counsel claim
ed. They thought it, very wise
law. The other plea was that the
Circuit Judge was in error in disre-
garding six challenges after the
defendant had exhausted his con.
stitutional number. No court, said
Judge Beard, can nominate for jury
service one who has a cause pend
ing at that time of court or who has
already had case tried. This is
done to prevent collision among the
Jurors, and on the Morrison jury
there were four such.
The decision of the court was
that the defendant had been improp-
erly forced to exhaust two Of his
challenges. So the decision of the
fCircuit Court was reversed. and the
case remanded tor a new hearing.
The killing occurred at Spring
field, Tenn, in the Christmas o.
1899, and Morrison was tried al
that place last spriDg. He was
sentenced to be hanged, and the
date of execution set for August 10
The case was taken 70 the Supremt
Court and the opinion reversing the
Circuit Court was delivered Satur'
day. AS there was some talk of a
mob the prisoner was taken to
Nashville shortly after the killing,
where he mas since been confined in
Jail, except during the trial.
Mr.. ]. B. Allensworth, of this
city, is one of the attorneys for
Morrison, and at the trial made a
speech for his client, which was
highly oomplimented, both by the
bar at Springfield and the press OF
that place.

Attack on Officer Lewis Fol

Order.

A tough gang at the Junction, known as

Because of this sweeping orders have

OF his pocket and was lost. Even in the
lace OF such odds he made a good stand
against the hoodlums until help came.
captain McKaig arrived in time to save
MIN from more harm At the roll call
yesterday when the men went out on
posts. Captain McKaig gave them a good
and thorough raking over for allowing
gangs to infest corners and insult pass
ersby, regardless of sex.
The men will have to clean up these
gangs said he, "and if there is anv-
one who neglects his duty I will s,,snend
him. This practice has gone too far IF
you make friends of these people they will
expect too much of you and perhaps re-
pay your friendship by trying to kill YOU.
Should you be told that they are waiting
for cars, wait and see for yourself that
such is the case. If not, either clear them
away or lock them up.''

would be no gangs left in that precjncf

LAST OF GANG CAUGHT.
Pal of Fisher and TelIerwyne
Arrested in EImira.

Chief of Police Murphy got a dispatch
yesterday afternoon from Chief Cassada
of Elmira, N. Y, asking if he wanted
Wilbur Fuller, friend of Benjamin Hill
and Joseph Fisher. A reply was sent
that Fuller was wanted here for bur-
glary.
A package of letters addressed Wilbur
Everett Corning, N. " and signed F. R,
Kieswetter, was received this morning.
These letters tell Fuller of the fruitless
search of the police of Jersey City for
him., also Of the conviction of Hill and
Fisher, the convicted Leonard street bur-
ters to Secaucus as the police were
watching the mail; in fact aiding Bur
glar Fuller to avoid the police by telling
him Of their movements.
Several newspaper clippings were also
found on Fuller when arrested, telling
of the story of the capture of Hill anu
Fisher Fuller was arrested at Elmira
for stealing 400 pounds of copper telephone
wire from Corning. When searched these
letters were found on him. 1t will be re-
mempered that Detectives Gallagher and
Hottie raided the thieves den on Leonard
street last winter and found house full
OF stolen property Hill's arrest was fol-
lowed by the arrest of Joseph Fisher and
Joseph Tillerwyne. The police recovered
about $1,000 worth of property.
Fuller, who is believed to be the brains
of the gang, escaped at the time and the
police have been looking for him ever
since
