The police arrived and as Carter was the only live man left he was hustled away to jail where he has remained ever siCce.
 Fl Paso Times: An interesting find was made by the workmen who re. moved the old jail building in Juarez in the shape of number of old guns of the kind that were used by the Spaniards during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that were found buried in one of the rooms of the an cient building. They are now in the possession of the mayor and are being kept as interesting relics of ancient times. There are seven muskets of an antiq lated type, two ancient guns of the kind known as arqdebus weight ing so much Chat it was necessary to use a brace to support them while aiming at sn object, and part of two small caDnons. The old jail, according to tradition, was about three hundred years old, and with the exception of the church the oldest building in the town. During the time of the Span ish rule it was used as barrack for the soldiers of the king, and hence it is supposed that these weapons be- onged to them and were abandoned and buried for some unknown reason.

The scheme was near being successful, but the officer noticed that the images had been re- paired and on closer examination it appeared they had been broken various times before.
 El Paso Times: The public schools of Juarez are open for eleven months in the year, which is two months more than in Fl Paso, showing that the Mexicans are decidedly ambitions for the education of their children, says the Fl Paso Times: The annual va cation will begin in June l5 and last only one month. The schools are re- ported to have an excellent attend ance in all departments and the child ren make good progress in their studies. The closing exercises will be public and will take place in the hall of the "Sociedad Juarez de O5reros" on Avenida Juarez near the United States consulate. Besides their other studies the children are given course fu English as is now becoming the custom throughout the republic. Mrs. Phelan of this city is employed as instructor in this branch.
 Mexican Herald: The report has been received here from the pueblo of Cuautitlan of desperate fight be- tween two brothers, Jose and Mateo Francisco, in which the latter met his death in most horrible manner. The brothers 1t seems had been re- markable for their mutual affection, until both became enamored of the same girl. From that day their broth erly love turned to fiercest hate. A quarrel finally ensued between them, ending in fight for life, Jose was the heavier of the two. and getting grip on his brothers throat, actually strangled him to death. Not satisfied with killing him, the murderer, who by this time was an infuriated beast drew his knife and stabbed the dead body repeatedly, inflicting over twenty wounds on the breast and limbs. He then made his escape into the mountains, put owing to the prompt action of the jefe politico, he was taken, and is now awaiting trial for his crime.
 Mexican Herald: c. H. Wallase of this city, bar Der on First Indepen- dence street, received letter from his friend Geo. W. Carter, who IS in jail in Slao, stating that he still awaits the action of the courts in his case. It will be remembered that Garter, who is Pullman porter, was iucarcerabed last October because man was found dead in his room one night in Silao after shooting. Carter had engaged sleeping quarters in house in that city and, as the story goes, when he had retired one night some one entered his room and began throwing glass bottles at him. One of them struck him on the head, breaking the bottle and inflicting an ugly wound. Carter slipped his pis- tol from under his pillow and began to shoot as soon as the bottles began to come. It was dark and no one could b: seen and he fired in every l....

The wharves along the Esplanade,
where the Island steamers lie, resemble

of the great number of pigs, turkeys,
chickens, ducks, etc, which are COM

tells of a narrow escape which he and
some others had during the steamers
last trip to Hawaii While at Puma
luu he and eight others were just be-
ing lowered down in one of the after
boats when one of the ropes gave way
and the boat fell into the water right
at the stern of the vessel. The steam
er, which was just backing at the time,
tipped the boat over quite bit, and
for a few seconds the occupants
thought they would have to swim for
it, but luckily, the steamer was stop
ped just in time to prevent it from
overturning the boat.
Purser Simerson, Of the steamerN
Mauna Loa, which arrived from Kona,
Kau and Maui ports yesterday morn
ing, gives the following report: Moder-

Corroboration has been received at the

American women attached to the lega-
ton at Pekn during the siege were PROB
ably guilty Of ooting the Sacred Palace
after the flight of the court. although
the particulars are of a character that
will not permit of any action being taken

Claude Macdonald, former British Min
ister at Pekin, stated that Lady Mac

several women and members of a party
from the legations began to take some
Of the curios and, while she did not pro-
test, she disapproved of the proceedings.
Minister Conger some time ago for
warded to the State Department the re-
suit of an inquiry he had made which ap-
parently indicated that no deliberate
attempt had been made at looting. Not
withstanding this report the officials are
inclined to credit the allegations Among
those said to have been present at the
time Lady Macdonald withdrew from
the palace was an American lady who
is said to have been at the bottom of the
'femininity" referred to by Admiral
