The Fun Proved Costly.

Commissioner DOnCarlos yesterday
assessed a fine Of ten dollars and costs
each against two farmers named
Cootzer and Hammers living near

damage at $50 which, under the law
is trebled making the farmers pay
Sl70 and costs each. The fine was
paid and the men released,

No greater injustice could be at
tempted than the impression
sought to be made that the chief
objection to the pending treaty
comes from men who have been,
and want to continue fleeing their

have made two treaties and each
have been turned down at Wash

determined that no treaty be made

side interests. Such censure is
unjust and untrue. The Chero-
KEGS ought not to be blamed for
trying to protect themselves in
the important matter. A fair
treaty would be ratified by an
overwhelming majority, as was
the treaty Of 1898 made with the
Dawes commission at Muskogee.

Judge Springer's advice to the

sent out from Washington by
Dick Adams, Frank Boudinot and
Bob Owen. The Cherokees did
not employ Springer for this pur-
pose.

table when she commenced giving advice

in such advice and Mrs. Nation refused TO

she remained and Mrs. Nation went TO a
restaurant. The trouble was later adjusted
and Mrs. Nation returned to the hotel this
evening.
Mrs. Nation took charge of the Journal
for to-day. In her leading editorial she
says: 'sI have never hurt hair on the
heads Of my bad brothers, the saloon keep
ers. and hope. for PHYS sake, none Of them
ever will get in the way of my hatchet. for
IL gets dreadful reckless when IL flies
around smashing that which murders

umns of editorials. Mrs. Nation has also
written an account of her smashing career,
in which she tells how she happened TO di-
rect her energies along this line. The paper
is twelve pages, instead OF eight. with eight
columns to the page as usual. The car
toons are those suggested by Mrs. Nation.
Whisky firms advertisements are another
feature, one concern having entire page.
Mrs. Nation rounded out her first day
here by lecture at Rouse Hall, after
which she visited several leading saloons
OF the city. The leading place visited was
that kept by p. A. Weast. She asked the
proprietor TO remove a large oil painting,
"Nymphs and Satyr." Weast promised 20

and then mounted the stage and delivered
short address. She next went 10 the
Alcazar, Crystal Palace, and jokingly
asked the proprietor permission to smash
the place. She went out without making
any trouble. After addressing large
audience at the Auditorium Theater she
retired for the night. Tomorrow she will
visit the distilleries. While I'm the weast
resort she received a telegram Informing
her that the Texas Legislature had passed
resolution asking her to visit the capital
Of that State.

self and Thus Aid Addicks.

DOVER, Del, Feb. 26.-The committee
appointed last week by the House Of Repre-
sentatives to investigate the allegation Of
Representative Walter Hearn, Dem, that
he had been offered $1,000 to absent himself
from the joint caucus and induce another
Democrat to remain out of the joint session
of the Legislature while the balloting for
United States senator was progressing last
Thursday met to-day and heard from Mr..
Hearn's own lips the name of his alleged
traducer.
The committee consisting Of two Demo-
Gratis, two Union, or Addicks. Republicans
and one regular Republican. held a brief
session and adjourned until tonight, but
while the legislators were in session they
listened to some sensational testimony.
Representatives Hearn and Layton were
the only witnesses called. Hearn swore
that he was approached by Representative
Reese Layton, one of the Addicks members
from Sussex county, who offered him 81. 900
If he would absent himself and induce an
other Democrat to leave the joint session
on Thursday. Feb. 21 He said Layton also
offered him $500 If he would never vote for
the regular Republican candidate for
United States senator. Representative Lay
ton swore that Mr.. Hearn's testimony was
absolutely false in every particular. He
said that Hearn was drunk when the al
legged conversation took place.
The committee sat until nearly 10 o'clock
tonight and examined twenty-three wit
nesses. Robert Blakely swore that while
on a cunning trip at Seaford he was ap-
preached by Hearp, who asked him If he
was a brother of Senator Blakely. Witness
said he gave Hearn a negative reply and
added that he was a Democrat. Hearn
then said, according to witness. that nc
was going to the Legislature "to do busi-
ness and not for his health" Blakely said
he warned Hearn to be careful. Repre-
sentative Layton denied that he had Of
fered Hearn $500 on the day of the Demo-
cratic caucus If he would refuse to vote fol-
two regular Republican senators.

tonomy or of sovereignty" Mr.. Morgan
protested against thus imposing the views
and demands of this government upon
Cuba. He insisted that Cuba never could
and never would accept the terms imposed
by the government and this government
had no right 10 demand that she should
accept them, since she cannot accept them
and preserve at the same Z e her dignity
as a sovereign and independent nation
Mr.. Morgan referred to what he said
was the popular feeling in Cuba against
the United States. He had communica-
tions from Cuban officials as early as Feb
ruary, 1899, indicating a feeling against
the government and people OF the United
States Of absolute irreconcilebility, unless
this government should withdraw from
the island and its people all sovereignty
and suzerainty. He said he had papers
which he would be glad to present to the
Senate in legislative session, which should
be secret because he did not think the
time ripe for their publication. They
showed the situation to be as he had in
dicated it. We were deceiving ourselves.
he said, if we should expect TO find in
Cuba a set of men not determined upon
having their own way and their own in
dependence. In conclusion Mr.. Morgan
said the solution of the present difficulty
was to arrange for absolute free trade
between the United States and Cuba, and
enable the Cubans to establish a free and
Independent government unhampered by
anybody. After a trial of such govern
ment, he said, he believed they would re-
alize that their best hope for liberty and
independence after all was in the United
States Mr.. Morgan concluded: "My last
words on this measure would be: Gentle
men, lay aside this amendment and let US

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-According to a
dispatch to the World. the Cubans regard
their constitution as in effect since the
day it was signed, the convention before
the end Of the week will promulgate the
election law. within ninety days thereafter
elections will be held and Cuba will re-
quire that the United States shall turn
over all the government property to the Of
ficers who have been elected. The United
States cannot prevent the progress of the
programme, except on peremptory orders
to stop, which orders will be accepted as a
notice that the pledge of the United States
has been repudiated. In this event serious
trouble can scarcely be avoided.

GOVERNOR WAS ALERT.
Governor Durbin was alert early in the
day and sent the following message to the
sheriff: 'I am informed that you con-
fronted with a serious situation. Use all
the authority you can command to maintain
peace and uphold the law. If emergency
warrants call upon the State and all possi-
BILE assistance will be properly accorded.
Keep me advised"
Sheriff Fasig did not think he needed
troops. Once or twice he addressed the peo-
pie about the jail: told them there was no
possible chance of the negro eluding JUS
tice. Governor Durbin also telegraphed to
Captain Thomas. of the local company of
the State Guard, to keep his men in readi-
ness.
Miss FinkeIstein said the negro had
called on her TO stop and that she handed
him her purse and that she had started on
when he shot her. Then he came up to her
and as she started to go on he caught hold
of her. AT the scene of the struggle this
morning a number of the girls possessions
were found. There were two 81 bills, one
tooth brush, one bottle of tooth powder, a
pair of gloves, street-car book, penknife,
a handkerchief, a collar and letter adj
dressed to her widowed mother in Chicago.
Nearly all the articles were covered with
blood and especially purple collar, which
was saturated. 1t was cut in number OF
places where the knife had entered, and
the gloves also were badly cut, showing
how desperate had been the fight of the
young woman for her life.
Ward was taken to the insane hospital
about year ago. He had been suspected OF
making a criminal assault on a woman. He
had a wife and two children. He came tc
Terre Haute five years ago, from Ohio
and was born in Grayson, Carter county
