KILLED HIS YOUNG WISE.
Two Months old Babe Innocent Cause
 of n Tragedy.

New York. June 13. Mrs. Mary Tighe, the eighteen -year-old wife of Martin J. Tighe. twenty-two years of age, of West 108th street, declared to- night just before she died in a hospital as the result of having her throat cut and gashed with a carving knife, that her husband killed her. Tighe is pris- oner in the Presbyterian hospital, with gash across his throat. He is clarg- ed by the police with the murder of his wife and attempted suicide. The trag- edy from accounts given by the police and parents of the young husband and wife, appears to have resulted from diff ferences between the two families, and the two months old babe of the couple seems to have been the innocent cause lof the household differences.

 Selectmcn's Bills Discussed at Last
 Nights Meeting of the Board of Fi-
 nance-NIeetings to be Held in tho
 Afternoon During July and August. held last night Councilman Frederick elected last Monday night as council with the board. Mayor Studley was absent, and in his absence Alderman Wright acted as chairman.
 A. MaXcy Hitler, chairman of the general committee of arrangements for the Fourth of July celebration. appear ed before the board to be heard con- cerning an appropriation towards the expenses of the celebration. The board of finance last November included in the estimates an appropriation of $500 for the Fourth of July, but the court of common council, when the estimates came before that body, changed the ap- proprlatlon to the account of band con- certs. MT. Hitler last night asked that an appropriation of $t,000 be made for fireworks, bands, speakers, etc, for the Fourth. He was informed that the board could make no appropriation or transfer of money for this purpose ex- cept on recommendation of the court of common council and no definite answer was made to him as to whether the finance board would approve any rec ommendation of this kind made by the common council.
 MT Hitler will probably endeavor to secure action by the common council an appropriation of $500, at least.
 Tax Collector Anthony appeared be- fore the board concerning the propriety of putting the regular employees of his office under surety company bonds. The board agreed with him as to the advis- ability of having the employees give bonds, and passed a recommendation to that effect

Our Trouble With Venezuela.

That our government has ordered
home United States Minister LOOMS
from Venezuela does not of necessity
mean that our relations with that coun-
1t does not appear that he is recalled,
but that he is summoned to Washing
ton for the purpose of giving clear in
formation about the merits of the
asphalt dispute in which we have be-
come involved. Nevertheless. the fact
is not to be disguised that the cX-
Citable little republic is mad clear
through. and that it has become an
uncomfortable place for Americans and
particularly for representatives of our
government.
The trouble all arises over the dis
pute of two rival companies. controlled
by Americans, which are contending
for the possession of very valuable
asphalt lakes. Recently, when the
trouble became acute, 4 United States
presumably to take part. if need should
arise, in support of the company whose
claims the Venezuelan government OPP
poses. The Venezuelans bitterly re-
scented this as a menace to their
sovereignty. and made so vigorous
protest through their press and their
hot fhe ,1cV IiSpN AetN-
ing the Scorpion was countermanded.
The dispatches indicate that Minister
Loomis is far from popular and that
demonstrations by the natives have
been made against him. He has. how
ever. the full confidence and support
of our government.
1t is much to be hoped that the
trouble will be quickly patched up and
the usual cordial relations of friend
ship resumed. While the legitimate in
terests of our government and our citi-
Zens are to be protected zcalously in
Venezuela as elsewhere, it is not the
policy of the United States to adopt
weaker sister republics to the south
which look to us as their natural
friend and protector or to interfere in
the disputes of Americans pending in
another country's courts. Only Il few
years ago this country risked war with
England in order to protect Venezuela
and to prevent a strong nation rom
tyrannizng over a weak one 1t will
take more than a private dispute over
an asphalt conclusion to lead this
country away from a consistent course
in its relation with u Central Ameri-
can republic.

A New Island Possession.

There is little if any doubt that as
the result of our propositions to the
Cuban constitutional convention the
United States will acquire undisputed
and permanent possession of the isle
Of Pines. In fact, it is only by court
for the title to this island, for it lies
40 miles southwest of the Cuban shore
ard, while it was specifically given up
by Spain in the treaty of Paris. it is no
more a part of Cuba than the Bahamas
are of Florida.
There has been so much history
made in the past three years that We
seem to have overlooked the impor-
lance Of this island possession which
The Isle of Pines has been the scene
of no notable history and it's sparse
population took no part in the Cuban
uprising against Spanish rule. The
recent inspection of the island by our
military officers has brought out many
facts and given it new value in
American eyes, 1t has been chiefly
known in history as an ancient pirate
stronghold and as a place where
Columbus touched on his second voy-
age in 1494. The island has an area OF
$40 square miles. making it over one
fifth as large as Porto Rico. and eight
times as large as Guam. 1t has six
times the area of the Danish West In
dies for whose acquisition a purchase
price of millions has been asked end i:
being now seriously considered. II
comparison with the Danish islands
its climate is as favorable. it's harbor:
as good. and it's resources larger anc
much more promising. while it's loca
ton is of a no less pronounced
strategic value. Its timbers and min
erals are very valuable and it's azri
cultural possibilities splendid. Such il
brief is the report from the inspection
of the island which comes free and al
most unasked for into our ownership
We are confident that the Isle o
Pines will prove u possession not to b
despised.

The Man About Town in the Argus
makes the remarkable and important
discovery that AL the protests of :hc
farmers of Maine to the legislature
against the many burdens and oppres-
sions that they claim are heaped upon
them, brought them no relief. In fact
the legislature seems to have added in
suit to injury. and when it adjourned
last week it left the farmers in worse
condition that they were in before. ii
added TO the impositions that are walking
on his neck. 1t legaliZed trusts. which
bear as hard upon the farmers as upon
any other class of people. 1t failed to
answer the demand for more taxation
on corporation capital. and left the
farmers as heavily taxed as ever"
The Portland Advertiser wonders
where the Man About Town has been
all winter not to know what everybody
else in the State knows. namely that
the eight tax bills passed by the
Legislature were framed by the taxa
ton committee of the State Grange:
that these included the removal Of the
limit on the authorized capital of cor
porations-that is. the legalZing Of
trusts: and that the ninth bill would
have been passed but for a consttu-
tional difficulty in the way of assess
ing wild lands at a higher than the
general State tax rate. Until the ",Ian
About Town spoke il had been the
impression that the farmers had had
pretty much their own way.
