HAY-PAUNcEFOTE TREATY.
Expected That Britain VIII Return
the Document with Amend
ments of Her own.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The expecta-
ton here is that the British govern
ment will return the amended Hay
Pauncefote treaty with amendments
OF its own, and t is not expected
that these British amendments will
be acceptable to the United States
senate. Whether or not this expecta-
ton Is based on advices from MT.
Choate or communications from Lord
Pauncefote, it is not possible to de-
termine. In either case the communi-
cations must necessarily have been
informal in advance of the action of
the British government itself on the
treaty. The officials here say frankly
that they have no knowledge of the
character of these probable British
amendments, so it is likely that the
opinion that they will be unaccept-
able to the senate is based on nothing
more than u general understanding
as to the feeling in the senate toward
the whole canal project on the one
side and on the other of the broad
purpose of the British government to
avoid complete abandonment of the
interests it has heretofore claimed
and asserted over isthmian transit.

NEARLY THROUGH.
Congregational Committee Anxious to
Complete Examination of Wit
nesseS at West Point.

| West Point. n y. Jan. 21.-The COM
mittee appointed by the house of repre-
sentatives to investigate the subject of
hazing at the military academy expects
to get through with the taking of testi-
mony by midnight, but it is more than
likely that the sessions may be held
next Monday, as several witnesses have
yet to be examined. The congressman
are anxious to ge' away from West
Point for business reasons and they
will do their utmost to finish up so that
they can return to Washington Sun
day.
The first witness examined Saturday
morning was Cadet Paul d. Bunker, of
Massachusetts,, who is member of the
present third class. Friday night some
of the "plebes" told the committee
that Bunker had braced them and
given them tabasco sauce during the
encampment last summer. One Of
them, Cadet Dillon, said that he was
compelled by Bunker to swallow from a
half to teaspoonful of sauce. gwen
him in camp spoon, which is about
the size of a dessert spoon.
Bunker acknowledged having braced
some of the 'plebes," but denied having
ever given more than Is drops of sauce
to anyone, and when Judge Smith con-
fronted him with Dilon's testimony
the witness said he did not reeollect
ever having given such large guam
tity to Dillon or any other plebe.
Bunker, who said he weighed about
200 pounds and measured feet 11A
inches, only remembered having hazed
two men who were his equal in
physique. The other plebes whom he

THE BONAPARTE DAM.
The Iowa Supreme Court Has Granted
Rehenring In This Cele-
brated Case,

| Inc supreme court has granted
4 rehearing of the Bonaparte dam
case, and it will be submitted to the
January term. The court decided ev-
cry point raised by the attorneys for
the state in their favor, except that
the claim of the defense of former
adjudication was sustained. This de-
stroyed the force of the decision, pre-
venting it from applying in this case
| and permitted the dam to stand in
| definitely. w. L. Read, of Des Moines
| the attorney for the State Sports
mems association, who has charge of
the case, claims that the alleged for
mer adjudication did not bar subse-
4uent prosecutions. The law requir-
ing tishways to be put in dams is in
three sections-the first making it
unlawful to construct dams without
fishways, the second providing for
the abatement of such dams as nui-
sances. and the third section provides
penalties for violations of the proyi-
sions of this act
In the first decision, the court held
that, having once been prosecuted
before justice of the peace and
found not guilty, as the defendant
claimed. he could not be prosecuted
second time for the same offense.
1t is claimed by the prosecution that
the third section of the law, impos-
ing penalties, applies to the entire
law and all provisions thereof, and
that the punishment for nuisance is
not the only punishment provided by
the law. This contention is support
ed by the fact that penalties are pro-
vided more severe for the second vio-
lation, whereas if the punishment for
nuisance were the only punishment
there could never be any second vio-
lation, because, upon the first con-
v1ction, the nuisance would be abated
and removed and there could be no
second violation. Mr. Read claims.
therefore, that the alleged acquittal
OF the defendants before a justice of
the peace many years ago does not pro-
tect them from any number of subse-
quent prosecutions under the law.
This is the point that will be urged
upon the court on the rehearing.
People living along the Des Moines
river are deeply, interested in the out
come, since the dam at Bonaparte pre-
vents fish from coming up the river
from the Mississippi, as they would
undoubtedly otherwise do. The dam
is not used, but is only held by
its owners in the hope that it may be
purchased by the state 1t will not,
however, last much longer, and no
more money will be spent in repair
ing it.

ORIGIN OF MAN.
A Grinnell Man Has Written a Book
Which VIII Probably Create
n Sensation.

John F. Whitmore, of Grinnell, has
written a book which will create the
most profound sensation when it goes
into the hands of the reading public.
e--i.an nh scri I,Lsays- 4hnt he discoy-
cred, quite by accident, the truth con-
corning the origin CT man, and sets
at rest all doubts as to how Jesus
Christ could at the same time be the
son of man and the son of God. The
author claims that there is nothing
new about his discovery, and that he
can by natural things prove all as
sertions made. He is neither a crank
nor fool, and is much respected in
the community where he lives. He
will not as yet give extracts for pub
LEGATION, and earnestly protests that
he has written the book of the TWEEN
tieth century.

As announced the young king and

the event OF son being born he

made privately, the vatican heard of
it, as it hears of everything that
transpires at the royal court, and a

terrible suspense for them followed.
Their counsel did not arrive until
eight o'clock. When Lawyers Michael

jurymen were led in.
The prisoners were slightly pale as
they stood looking at the jurors.
Campbell was the most resolute of
the three. Traces of emotion could

One Was for Acuuittal.
After the jury had been dismissed,
one of them said that the first ballot
showed that five men stood for a
verdict of murder in the first degree,
six for second degree and one man
stood for acquit1al. The five who
stood for murder in the first degree
soon came around, but the man who
stood for acquittal was fixed in his
opinion. The evidence was then care
fully weighed, which consumed over
three hours, and the one man then
agreed with the rest.
