The revelation that Mr." Murray

YORK, was q woman, has revived inter
est in England in DR.. James Barry,
who rose to -rhe rank of inspector gen
e1'al of the army medical department.
In giving his" extraordinary career,
the Dictionary of National Biography
says: She is said to have been the
daughter of a Scotch earl. She entered
the army as d hospital assistant at

secured promotion, being appointed as
SiStant surgeon in 1875 general in 1851
and inspector general in 1858, and was
placed on half pay in 1859"
In 1919 Lord Albemarle met her at
Cape Town, where she was. attending
Lord Charles Somerset, the governor.
She is described as the most skillfuI
of surgeons and the most hayward of
men; in appearance a beardleSs lad,
with an Enthusiastically Scotch type of
cOuntenance, reddish hair and high
cheek bones. There was a certain eff

OF. conversation was greatly superior
to that usually heard eat a mess table

She had no small share of personal
courage, and often quarreled. At the
Cape she fought a duel Her temper
made her frequently guilty of breaches
of discipline. and more than once she
was sent to England under arrest, but
she was always pardOned.

scented, the largest delegations being

a temporary organization was effect
ed at Salt Lake City during the recent
convention of the National Livestock
association. The convention will de-
eide whether the new association shall
be independent Of the National Live
stock association or work as d sub
division of it The officers of the Ma
tional association are watching the pro-
Jected organization jealousy, ready to
cooperate if it is TO be an auxiliary,
but TO fight it if it is to be independent
and a rival.
Welcoming addresses were made at
the morning session of the convention
by Governor Orman and Mayor John
SON Responses were made on behalf
of the association by F. 5. Lusk of
California and \. 5. VandOran of New
Mexico.
Mr.. VandOran explained the objects
of the association, which, he said, pro-
poses to work to secure legislative pro-
lection of the ranges for the cattle
growers and enable them to meet the
increasing demand for beef both at
home and abroad.
A. c. Cleveland of Nevada delivered
an address, which evoked hearty APP
plause. Mr.. Cleveland said:
Little Use for Sheepmen.
THE wooI-growers of America have
an association of their own, and there
is no reason why the cattlemen should
not have one. There is no reason why
a cattleman should contribute to an
association which does not protect his
interests.
1.-THE west belongs to the cattlemen.
They were the people who reclaimed
the country from the Indians. Who
ever heard of a sheepman being killed
by Indians2 Many of us who are in
the cattle business have had relatives
killed by the Indians I had a son
killed by the Indians, but there We're
no sheepmen in the country at that
time Sheepmen are too slow to catch
up with any danger.

have their all invested in five dogs, Il
wagon and a few sheep. Those men
have no respect for the rights Of

| had any trouble with sheepmen. I have
avoided them when I could, and they
are, anyway, too slow to associate with
cattlemen."
At the close of Mr.. CIeVeIand's speech
adjournment was taken until , O'Clock.
| The afternoon session was mainly de-
voted to the consideration of the con-
stltution and bylaws presented by the
executive committee. No final action
was taken and no permanent organiza-
ton was effected.

The debate on the senate rules which
was begun in the open session of the
senate today was continued in the ex-
ecutiVe session which followed The
principal participants were Senator
Mason on the Republican side and
Senator'S Teller and Jones of Arkansas
on the opposition. Mr.. Mason contended
that under the rules, as il at present

that there never had be, a failure to

YOUNG AMERICAN KILLED IN DUEL
WITH RUSSIAN COUNT IN FRANCE

Paris, March 5.-John MacWilson
Durant of New York, who has been
living for the past two years in Paris
with his mother, at the Hotel La FOnde
Tremoille, has been killed at Ostend
in a duel with a Russian count. Ac-
cording TO the best information obtain
able, Mr.. Durant had written letters to
the wife of the Russian count. The
latter's nephew came to Paris to settle
the matter where he met Mr.. Duranr
in a restaurant, where a vicious fight
resulted, in which Mr.. Durant lost his
front teeth. He struck the Russian
with heavy glass water bottle and
the latter died, but the doctors GER
tificate gave congestion of the brain
as the cause of death. This occurred
during January
Later the count took the matter up,
sending his seconds to Mr. Durant.
The latter went to Ostend with his
mother, who afterwards departed for
and is still at Glasgow. A duel was
arranged and probably was fought yes
terday with pistols. Durant was killed
and the count was seriously wounded.
Durant registered at Charles Neville
Carter. His mother has been notified.

TREATY is DEAD.
Feature of the -Pauncefote Canal
Convention.

Washington March 5=The Hay-
PaUncefOte treaty, intended to replace the
.Clayton-BuIwer treaty. relative to the
construction of isthmlan waterways, died
at noon yesterday. The death was caused
technically by the fact that the last
clause of the treaty allowed only the
period of time up to March for it's rati-
fication. Neither the government of the
United States nor of Great Britain APP
peared to have made any formal effort
to extend that period.
Though tho treaty is dead from the
point of international law. il may still
serve a. purpose. 1t is understood here
that the British government either has
or is preparing a communication to the
United states government based upon the
senate amendments, analyzing them care
fully; pointing out their probable effect
upon the original proposition as seen from
the British side and perhaps suggest some
notifications.
While IT Is impossible TO predict in ad-
vance of the receipt OF this C0mmuniCa-
ton just what attitude the state depart
ment will assume toward il, there Is
reason to believe that il will be taken in
good part and that negotiations viii be
resumed for the conclusion of a new
treaty with a view to meeting, If posi-

Albany, N. Y, March 5.-John Wilson
Durant, who is reported to have been
killed in a duel at Ostend was an Al
bantam and comes of a prominent fam
ily- He was in Albany in December.
While here his friends say he acted in
a manner indicating that his mind was
unbalanced.
In the hands of one of his friends he
placed a number of letters which he
requested should be sent at stated in
terVals to a certain woman in Paris
For reasons best known to himself only
Durant wanted this man to think that
he was still in America. His apparent
trouble with this woman is supposed
to be at the bottom and eventually
eliminated in the duel in which he lost
his life. When he left he did not take
all his baggage, leaving a large amount
in Albany. To his friends he said he
intended to go to Paris, finish some
business on hand and return here in a
ew months.

BULLER is SEVERE.
Explains Why the British Army in
Africa Was Not Successful.
lLondon Letter.O


Perhaps some of the reasons for the
failure of British arms in South Africa
are to be found revealed in the com :
mentary on the army issued by General
Sir Redvers Butler. The commentary
has caused somewhat of a sensation
in military circles. for while it is
couched in mild and most polite Ian
guage, it is, in parts, q severe arraign-
ment of the British soldiers way of
doing things.
General Butler summarizes the
army's shortcomings and suggests re-
forms in this language:
Speaking generally, it may be said
that our army lacks initiative and in
dependence of action on the part of
subordinate commanders, and indepen-
dent and intelligent action on the part
of the rank and faie.
Drill is the means to an end.
1T is intended to teach men the
principles on which they should move,
