JACK LEAVES BUTTE
DOES NOT CARE TO hEMA1N FOh
THANKSGivING.
JUDGE BoYLE's PROPOSITION
Tells Defendant He Must Pay a Fine
or HE Himself Into the Coun-
try-Court Scene.

When the roll was called in the police
court before Judge Boyle this morning
one man was found whom neither the
prospect of a Jail Thanksgiving dlnner
nor the promise of warm place TO steep
on cold nights would tempt to remain
in Butte.
Jack Mcdonald was the name OF the
individual who announced himself as
willing to take his chances on walking
out Of the town rather than stay here
and go behind the bars.
Jack was charged with being a
vagrant, and when his name was called
as the prisoners lined up before the
bench he seemed to have no sufficient
reason to give why he should not be ad-
judged guilty as charged, and the Judge
decided to tax him $50.
Offered Ais Freedom.
But" added the court, as he looked
at the man before him, IF you want to
fly the town, If you want to forego the
pleasure of partaking of the elegant
dinner which is being prepared for those
who chance to he in Jail on Thanks
giving 1 will let you CO. Jack"
Il am aware, your honor, that this is
rather a cold season Of the year for a
man to start out over the ties. Methnks
brave service in the hay fields and along
the rural free lunch routes when the
weather was warm are even now hitting
the trail toward this city for winter
quarters.
Dislikes to Leave.
II dislike to leave this comfortable
town just as the SHOWS are beginning to
fall. but Efe in Jail hath no charms for
Jack. 1 enjoy the biscuit that is handed
me without price, but I don't like to re-
ceive it. while I am behind bars.
II feel that your honor hath handed
it to me according to the requirements
of the position which you hold, and I
am not unappreciative Of the fact that
a second jolt might be coming to me even
II 1 should spend the ensuing few weeks
in Jail. As go out from this lovely city
I expect to meet many of my brothers
coming into it.
Will Lose Much Business.
II will inform them Of your honor's
disposition toward them, and, perchance,
they will turn into paths that will take
them around this city. Should this be
the case, your honor will lose much Of
the business that in the natural run Of
things is coming to you.
However, / take it that your honor
| makes this proposition to me with full
| knowledge of the consequences that may
follow.
THAT being true, I accept your propo-
| sition, and on this day, with visions OF
roasted turkeys in my mind, I will walk
out upon the highways and take my de-
| parture from your city.
| Should we ever chance to meet again,
your honor hope you will consider that
| upon a former occasion Jack did the
| proper thing, and not press the limit on
me as you Shy into the game Of JUS
| tice."
| Having completed this speech, Jack
left the courtroom, and late this after
noon he was reported sailing by Silver
| Bow under reefed canvas.

WITNESSED TILE FIRING.
American Saw Gunboat Pinzon Bonn
bard Porto Bello.
(By Associated Press

(By Associated PreSS}
Colon, Nov. 27.-An American named
Murphy relates the following story cor
roborating the report that the Colum-
bian gunboat General Pinzon fired on
Porto Bello.
On Monday morning Murphy was in
an open boat bound for Playadonna on
a mining excursion. Besides himself
there were three Chinese and Colom-
bian negro in the boat, which was COM
nlanded by the colored man. When they
were passing Porto Bello, boat con-
tanning soldiers from the Pinzon, then
at anchor off Porto Bello, captured Mur-
ply and his companions.
After they had been made prisoners,
and while on their way to the gunboat.
the General Pinzon fired many shu.s at
Porto Bello. On arriving on board the
gunboat Murphy learned that no less
than so shots had been fired at Porto
Bello. He also says that from the gun
boat one or two of the largest houses of
the place could be plainly seen to have
been wrecked.
The Town Evacuated.
Men from the Pinzon who went ashor.
at Porto Rico said the town was e. ac,i.
ated. Not a single liberal was to be seer
anywhere. Murphy asserts that explo
sive bullets were used by the liberals
as one bullet brought on board the Pin
zon was subsequently exploded
Murphy was handed over to the Off

THE MACLAY HISTORY.

The most rancorous attack ever made
upon Admiral Schley is that of Edgar
Stanton Maclay. who has hitherto borne
a creditable reputation as the author Of
a history of the United States Navy. None
of Admiral SIMPSONS supporters in the
disgraceful controversy over the engage
ment at Santiago has gene so far in per-
sonal abuse and dishonorable imputation
as this professional student of history
His narration of the events of the war
with Spain is so manifestly inaccurate
and prejudiced that it raises suspicion as
to the value of his previous work. Not
only should the third volume Of Maclay's
history of the navy be barred from use
at the Naval Academy at Annapolis, but
the earlier volumes. which have been ac-
cepted as standard text books, should be
subjected to the most searching examina-
ton The Government has officially hon
ored Admiral Schley for his services To
permit the use of Maclay's history would
be to put the stamp of approval upon his
malovolent falsifications.
Not only has Maclay perverted the rec
ords for his own purpose. but throughout
his tone of comment on Schleys conduct
is unfair and virulent.
Such statements are not judicial or con-
and insulting lies. They are only the
more offensive because they come from a
man who processes to be an honest
student and a truthful chronicler of the
history of the United States Navy.-Phila-
dephia North American.

The Chinese. Indemnity Settled.

A despatch from Special Commission
er Rockhill yesterday informed the
State Department that the Council of
| Ministers at Pekin had formally fixed
the amount of the indemnity loan to be
issued by China at four hundred and fif-
| ty million taels the rate OF interest to be
four per cent. That disposes of the in
demnity question for the present, but
there are other important matters yet
to be settled.
The most important as far as the
! United States is concerned is that con-
cerhing maritime duties. Russia has
insisted that the present tariff tax of
five per cent ad valorem on all import
ed goods shall be raised to fifteen per
cent This proposition England has
strenuously opposed and still opposes.
The United States, after taking the same
pos; lion, recently went over to the side
of I,Issia, leaving England isolated, as
the other Powers endorse the Russian
programme. They have no reason to do
otherwise, inasmuch as the major part
of whatever duties are levied viii have
to be paid by American and British
commerce.
A verbal ambiguity in Mr.. Rockhills
code message leaves US in doubt as to
whether Russia now demands the full
advance or has expressed Willingness
to accept a ten per cent tariff unless
or until it can be demonstrated that it
will not provide sufficient revenue to
enable China to meet her interest and
sinking fund obligations promptly, in
which event the maximum rate would
be imposed. The ground of Russia's
action in the matter of the tariff is
that she will be compelled to sell her
share of the Chinese bonds at dis
count which would be greater were cap
italists to get the impression that the
resources of China We're insufficient to
guarantee faithful performance of her
engagements. Pending a settlement of
this and one or two other questions, 1t
is reported that Mr.. Rockhill has post
poned his departure from Pekin, where
we must say he appears to have done
excellent service to mis- country-ser I,
vice which we hope will be recognized !
in some fitting manner on his return |
to the United States.

Corporate Rights in Court.

There was a curious incident in the
New York Supreme Court not long ago.
A small boy brought suit, through his
father, for fifty thousand dollars dam
ages for the loss of his right foot the
fracture of his left arm. and broken
skull due to his having been run down
by a cable car. 1t was thought for a
time that the boy would die. and as it
is he must be crippled for the rest Of
his life. So far, of course, there is
nothing very unusual in the case; chill
dren are not infrequently run down on
New York car lines. The oddity Of 1t
lies in the charge which Justice Rus
sell. Of the Supreme Court, gave to the
jury. He said:
Tho great have much right in this cour
the poor and lowly; the defendant corporation
has the same standing in this court the boy
here. The Jury cannot-take INTO consideration the
attractive appearance of this boy who has lost
his leg. His good looks have nothing to do with
the case"
Disregarding this touching plea. the
jury stubbornly brought in verdict of
five thousand dollars for the plaintiff
Thereupon Justice Russell set aside the
verdict. took the case away from the

act the Foraker tariff, prescribing du-
ties for Porto Rico differing from those
which prevail in the rest of the United
States
While taking these contradictory po-
sitions with reference to Porto Rico, the
court, for Some inexplicable reason,
withheld its decision as to the status
of the Philippines. Obviously, a rule
which applies to Porto Rico must, on
principle apply equally to the Philip
pines, for our title to both is identi-
cal in character. Each came to us by
virtue of the Treaty of Paris, and it is
impossible for a layfnan to see how
there can be any difference in their le-
gal status. But surely the court must
have had some reason for deferring ac-
ton on the case arising in connection
with the Philippines. If the court had
reached the conclusion that Congress
had power to do as ii pleased in the
new territory, ii would not have taken
three minutes to announce the fact
from the bench. But 1t was not done,
and nobody outside of the court rem
bershic knows the reason. The case
went over until the next term of the
court, and the public can only con-
clude that the exact status of the ISL
ands has not been fixed by the Porto
Rico decisions.
Under all the circumstances, it is not
going too far to say that no human
being can tell how the court will decide
the next case which may arise in which
the constitutional status even of Porto
Rico is involved. Nevertheless, the
statement of the Review Of Reviews
is highly significant, for it undoubtedly
voices the sentiment which Lrevails
in, certain quarters that if the Repub-
lican party wishes TO do anything the
Constitution should not be allowed TO
stand i'll the way.
