The Midwinter Carnival is a thing
of the past The midway with its
brass throated and glib tongued fakirs
and its uncanny noises is a place of
silence now and Ell Paso's 10000 Wis
itors are scattered to the four winds.
The Carnival closed Saturday night
with the Mount Franklin pyrotechnics.
A volcanic eruption was represented
and while it did not come fully up to
expectations, yet the display on the
mountain top under the dim starlight
was one of unusual beauty. The eX-
plosions in the heart of the mountain
while the eruption was in progress,
were terrific and the vibrations ratified
window panes all over town. The crest
of the mountain was patch of GRIM
son blue and various colored flames
while rockets and bombs were thrown
high from the crater. A stream of
flame representing molten lava pour
ed down the mountain side and al
most reached the valley below.
A vast multitude scattered all over
the north side, witnessed the fireworks
display.
Following the pyrotechnics came the
two mask balls, one at the court house
and the other at the natatorium. The
one at the court house was attended
by the queen and her court, but al
though she was scheduled to go and
open the other, she failed to go,
through misinformation furnished her
by an executive committeeman, and

TEE TRooIs WILL WITHDRAW.

by This Withdrawal.
(By the Associated Press,

London. March 1S.-On the highest Off

thorized to announce that the difficulty at
Tien Tsin between the Russians and
British over the construction of a railroad
siding in territory claimed by both. will
probably be solved by the withdrawal of
both the British and Russian troops

The officials of the British Foreign

Mongolia, and inquiries on the subject are
now being made at st. Petersburg and
Pekin. The British Foreign Office is not

British press agitation on the subject.
On all sides it is officially and otherwise
said that Great Britain has not the
slightest intention of resorting to hos

the outcome of he present negotiations.
THE SITUATION UNCHANGED.

THE BONDS NOT VALID
The N. C. Supreme Courts
Decision Sustained.
Justice Harlan Hands Down the Ruling ct the
Highest Federal Court in the Wilkes
County Bond Case
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, March 1S.-The United
States Supreme Court today rendered
it's opinion in the case of the commits
sioners of Wilkes county, North Caro-
lima VS.. Coler, involving the validity of
bonds issued by Wilkes county in aid
of the Northwestern North Carolina
Railroad in 1899, under State laws pass
ed in 1868, 1879 and 1881. The principal
question involved was whether the
United States courts in passing upon
the case should accept the construction
of the State Supreme Court in the mat
ter Justice Harlan handed down the
courts opinion holding the State Courts S
construction to be binding.
The State Court had held that under
the State Constitution year and nay
vote by the Legislature in authorizing
the indebtedness was mandatory. Sucn
a course had not been pursued in au
thorizing the bonds, and the contention
was made that it was immaterial. The
effect of today's decision is opposed to
the validity of the bonds.

QUIZ pROrEsrs DIsAGeAADED.
Government Resolved That Venezuela Must
Cease Meddling With Our officials.
CBy the Associated Press.)


Washington, March 18.-The State
through Minister Loomis recently loog
ed a most vigorous protest to the Vene-
zuelan Government against further in
reference with Mr.. BaiZ, the United
States consular agent at Barcelona,
Venezuela. 1t knows nothing of the
last reported infringement of his liber-
ty, but it is presumed that the affair is
connected directly with the troubles
which led to the first protest
Ignatio M. Baiz is not citizen of
the United States, fact that may add
to the difficulty which our Government
will experience in protecting him, as it
is determined to do. He was born in
st. Thomas, and is Danish citizen so
far as is known here but, having an
eXequatuF issued by the Venezuelan
Government recognizing him as Uni
ted States consular agent, the State De-
partment has decided that he is entitled
to the protection of the United States
Government
1t appears that he is engaged in busi-
ness and became involved in trouble
with Venezuelan military by resisting
an attempt to collect forced loan from
him. More than a month ago, the State
Department forwarded its instruction
to Minister Loomis to represent to the
Venezuelan Governme' that the annoy
ing interferences with cur officials must
cease, but SO far, no results have ap-
peared.

be inferred against them; on the contrary
they are presumed to be innocent OF all
error and all wrong, and this presumption
is made By the law evidence in their oe-
half to be considered by the court NO
principle of law is more fundamentally
important than this. 1t is axiOmalc ann
elementary, and it's enforcement lies at
the foundation of the administration OF
our criminal law. So great is the Welgnt
given to it by our courts that in recent
years the Supreme Court OF the Unlted
States has granted to defendant IN
criminal action, a new trial upon the sole
ground that the judge presiding at the
trial in the court below, failed TO ex-
plain this principle in his charge to tho
jury. In delivering the opinion OF the
court in that case, Mr.. Justice White re-
fers to the fact that Mr.. Greenleaf traces
this presumption to the Mosaic law, and
shows that it is substantially embodied
in the laws Of every civilized nation OF
the world He quotes as follows from
the Roman law:
LET all accusers understand that they
are not to prefer charges unless they can
be proven by proper witnesses, or by con-
elusive documents, Or by circumstantial
evidence, which amounts to undubitabie
proof and is clearer than day.
'.In criminal cases the milder construc-
ton shall always be preserved; and IN
case of doubt, it is no less just than 1t IS
safe, to adopt the milder construction.
1.-The learned Justice incorporates in
his opinion an anecdote of Emperor Julian
which illustrates the enforcement OF THIS
principle in the Roman law. The Gov
ernor of one of the Provinces was on trial
before the Emperor, and, contrary to the
usage in criminal cases, his trial was pun
lie The accused contented himself with
denying his guilt, and there was not SUI
fcient proof against him. His adversary
and accuser, a passionate man, seeing
that the failure of the accusation was
could not restrain nlmselI ana
exclaimed OH illustrious Caesar, II IT IS
sufficient to deny, what will hereafter be-
come of the guilty?' To which the En-
peror replied IF it sufhces to accuse,
what will become of the innocent"
NO CRIMINAL INTENT.
tsTbere is another we'll settled principle
OF criminal law which is peculiarly ap-
plicable in the trial of this case. 1t is
there must, with the unlawful act, CO.
exist a criminal intent. Indeed the WORD
wilful as usod in the impeachment i'm
plies not only the knowledge or conscious
ness of wrong, but also purpose to 10
wrong, or a bad intent. Potter VS. Y. 5,
1855, u. s., 446. @
