TREATY MAY PREVENT IT
Not Certain of Right to Authorize a
Pacific Cable.

Washington, Oct. There were
five of the eightmemberso of the cabinet
present at today's meeting Attorney
General Knox, Secretaries Long,
Hitchcock and Wilson and Postmaster
General Smith. The principal sub
iect discussed was that of Il cable to
Hawaii, Guam and the Philippines.
Propositions have been made to- lay
commercial cable from San Francisco
to connect these islands, and the ques-
tion under discussion was whether.
under our peace treaty with Spain,
the United States could authorize or
in any way encourage the laying of
such cable by private parties. I'm
der franchise obtained from Spain
some time before the late war the ex-
elusive right to cable connections with
the Philippines was secured by for
eign corporation. Under the treaty
of Paris the United States obligated
itself to protect all property rights in
the archipelago, and the question ow
at issue is whether permission to land
the proposed cable at Manila or some
other Philippine port would be vio-
lation of the terms of the Paris treaty.
The attorney general will prepare "a
statement for the president covering
all of the questions involved

erected to the memory Of General Xe-

raised the stars aud stripes on Kan

Vermont granite, stands upon Il bluff
overlooking the Bepub lean valley
and one of the finest scenes ever pre-
sented to the eyes Of man. The site is
Il mile from any habitatiou: none viii
ever see it save those on curiosity
bent or those who travel the country
road which passes by il. 10 is pass
ing strange that Kansas should have
erected her first monument structure,
plunged for the first time into decora-
tive art, in "A place so far from the
center OF population and the routes
which people travel This fact is ac-
counted for by the ceaseless effort of
the Republic County Historical
Society.
The programme was carried out as
announced. The Sixth battery of
United States field artillery fired sa-
lutes and gave a drill. Within a
large inclosure band of forty In
dians gave their war dance and other

ALL A FAKE
There was no Attark Made on the
Tomb at Canton

Canton, o., Sept. 30.-The officers
and men of Company G, of the Four
teenth United States infantry, on duty
at Westlawn cemetery, guarding the
resting place of President Mckinley,
worked diligently to-day investigating
the strange story in which Private
Deprend, who was on duty at the top
of the vault Sunday night, figures so
prominently. The military regula-
tions which prevented the officers and
men from making detailed statements
concerning the incidents last night
were as rigiely observed to-day. The
representative of the Associated, Press
saw all of the commissioned officers,
several non-commissioned officers and
a number OF privates and CLEANED the
following:
All Of the commissioned officers and
the members Of the company in gem
eral last night accepted the story re.
lated by Private Deprend and really
believed that the providers were about
the vault with no good purpose. To.
day only one Of the commissioned
officers adhered to the belief that an
attempt had been made upon the senti-
mel for gouIish purposes. He said:
at was the real thing: it was
prompted 10y the pure cussedness OF
some people who thought to bring re-
proach upon the nation by doing
damage to the resting place Of the
dead president.
All the men who We're seen to-day
expressed the belief that Private De-
prend acted in good faith, and that he
related only what he believed to be
the real circumstances. With the cap
tain and others he went over the Ide.
tails of the whole affair at least a
dozen times and it is said never varied
in a matter of importance. Partic-
ular inquiry was made as to his So
briefly at the time, and it is said that
able doubt that he had not been drink
ing and that he was in his normal
condition. The most common belle
is that the sentinel was overwroughf
by the loneliness of his position, that
his nerves were overtaXed and that
Imagination contributed some of the
details related in good faith, The
post was regarded by all as particu-
larly isolated and depressing to the
man guarding it at night and it is
understood that more sentinels will
be stationed at the point in the future.

EXCITING TESTIMONY
The Evidence in the Schley Affair
Grows lnterpS sting

Washington, oct. 1.-The cross ex-
animation of Admiral Evans by
Schley's lawyer was resumed to-day at
the opening of the court of, inquiry.
The Admiral denounced as preposte-
rous the statement that he asked
Schley: "Did yOu know that Jack
Philip started to run away at the be-
ginning of the battle?" To which
Schley is said to have replied: "You
are mistaken, it was the Brooklyn
that made that turn and you must see
the tactical necessity for it," Evans
also having !said Rthat he "shot the
bow of the Pluton, the stern off the
Furor and knocked out the Teresa and
raked the Viscaya."
Evans told Of the conference Of the
Captains aboard the Brooklyn at
which as a general proposition he ex-
pressed disbelief in the usefulness of
engaging the shore battery. With
the Colon in sight the aspect of the
question was changed.
Evans also testified that he felt the
country held him responsible for the
fleet and he hesitated about attacking
the batteries till the enemy's fleet was
destroyed. Rayner read McCalla's
log showing that Schley told the
officers at the conference to attack
Spaniards should they scome out but
no plan of battle was outlined.
EVANS DENIAL
Washington, Oct. >. - Admiral
Evans was called to the stand in the
Schley inquiry this morning and asked
permission to make personal State
ment. He said; THE question was
put to me yesterday placing me in the
position of having Dragged of having
destroyed the whole Spanish fleet.
This story was published in the Wash
ington Post in 1898. The Posts in
formation was based on letter which
the editor later told me was from IL
woman. The question put to me yes
terday was couched in exactly the
same language as this scurrilous let
ter.
Evans then tried to introduce "A let
ter from Captain Cook backing up
Evans denial but it was shut out for
the present.
Thomas Dieuaide, the correspon-
dent, was recalled. He stated that he
had found since testifying yesterday
his written account of the battle which
gives Schley the credit forthe victory.
Gustave Becker identified letter
press book with "a letter from Samp-
son to Schley showing that the Cubans
could be communicated with thirteen
miles east of Cienfuegos This is the
communication which the witness said
was sent both by the Dupont land the

He HEELED A FISH
Peculiar Incident Occurs in
Little River.
HARRY PICKENS A HERO
Did Something Never Done by
a Boy Before.

Yesterday afternoon Harry Picken, q
I5-year-Old Wichita boy. caught a six
pound catfish in the Little river above
the Thirteenth street bridge, in a manner
not exactly authorized by the fish laws
Of the state Of Kansas.
Young Picken caught the catfish with
his left heel
The manner Of the catch was something
unique and Is not especially recommended

painful wound on the heel
Pickens, with several companions, was
playing around a small bayou or pond
just above the bridge. The water is low
and they waded in TO tramp around and
roll up the mud from the bottom Of the
pond Whenever the water is rolled in
this way the fish rise to the surface and
can be batted on the back with a stick or
club. This is tough OF the fish and con-
trary to the fish law, but a good many
small boys get good many fish and
whole lot Of fun out Of the operation.
Yesterday Pickens was tramping around
in the north end Of the pond and he
brought his left foot down with an extra
hard chug and suddenly gave a shrek
Of pain and fell backwards into the water.
He had stepped on a fish and the hard,
bony spur known as the dorsaI fin had
stuck in his heel There was the greatest
commotion then By the fish fastened to
the boys foot under the water and the
youngster, who was half under and half
out Of the water. Inc boy struggled TO

stork and carefully raised his left foot
TO the surface. When he cau~hU sight Of
the big fish stuck on 70 his heel he mace

spine had entered Picken's heel the fun

This vas excitement enough for the
boys for one day, and they strung the
big cat on a willow fork and accompan-
led the wounded hero. who walked on
his left toe all the way home.
At his home young Pickens had the
wound dressed and the foot bandaged and
held a reception all the balance Of the
afternoon TO the neighbors and his ad

see the only boy in the country who ever

The big fish was weighed and found TO
