Tragic from Wellington
- County, 4
s*6sk6 OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

VICTOR Hugo once gave magnificent
analysis of the mysterious power
which drives criminal to confess his
crime. 1t is not necessarily remorse or
repentance, but demon something
which will not be appeased until the
story is told to human ears. Even
the criminal who gloats and rejoices
over the blood he has spilled must
tell someone of the deed. And in the
Cummings case reported from We'll
lington. we have a curious example of
this power
Cummings killed a viXenish servant
girl by throwing broom at her when
he saw her spit in a dish of food
which she was bearing to the break
fast table. The broom went endwise
and struck her in the temple, but it
did not render her unconscious. She
seemed to be getting along all right.
but few days later when the family
was away from home, she suddenly
died. Cummings buried her body in
cornfield, but afterward dug it up and
burned 1t in straw stack The neigh
bors were told that the girl had gone
away She was the daughter of no
torlous woman, formerly of yelling
ton, and there was no one to have
much interest in her wherea bouts.
Cummings kept his secret for some
months, and then told his wife. Mrs.
Cummings was faithful to him for
ore than year. but the demon was at

A story equally as tragic is told OF

stream of water. They began to dunn
rock into the stream, and after ten

further progress was stopped. Month

CALLS LETTER UNFRIENDLY
William 0'Brien Thinks British Parliament
Should Protest.
DISCUSSES ROOsEVELrs NOTE TO IRISH
Declines TO be Drawn and
Speaker Rules Further Debate
Z 10 be strictly Out of
rde

LONDON. Oct. 22.-william o'Brien ere
ated a great deal Of excitement among
his fellow nationalists in the House Of
Commons today by questioning Premier
Balfour regarding President Roosevelt's
letter to the convention Of the United
Irish league at Boston. Mass.
Mr.. O'Brien asked the premier IL he had
observed that MIR. Roosevelt sent a letter
and whether in view OF future friendly re-
lations between the United States and Great
Britain he could make any announcement
that this country was not indisposed to
learn wisdom regarding Irish affairs from
the head Of a great and friendly nation.
The speaker promptly ruled the ques-
tion out OF order, to the evident chagrin Of
the nationalists, whose excitement in
creased as Mr.. O'Brien continued to press
his point. He urged that this letter Of
the president was an international fact Of
the first Importance to the future Of Great
Britain and that II would not be a friendly
thing to the head Of a great nation that his
letter should be treated as IL the House
Of Commons was disposed to "avenge an
insult to the chief secretary for ireland
and his removables."
The speaker maintained his ruling and
Mr.. O'Brien tried to move an adjournment
of the house to discuss the matter, but the
speaker ruled that it was not a matter Of
definite Importance.
BOSTON, Oct. 22.-Following is the text
Of the letter sent by the president to the
secretary Of the United Irish league at its
convention in this city:
WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON, oct.
16, 1902. Dear Sir: Your Communication of
recent date has been received and in re-
ply l would state that while the president
very much. appreciates the cordial invita-
ton extended to him by your league, he
regrets that his public duties will prevent
him from being present on the occasion to
which you refer.
Owing to the pressure upon his time in
cident to the preparation of his annual
message to congress he IL at present I'M
able to accept any invitations.
Permit me, in the presidents behalf, to
thank you and through you the members
of your organization for this courtesy and
believe me, very truly yours,

SUPPRESSION OF LADRoNES
Government Urged by P~residentes
to Pass q VRgrancy
Act.

MANILA, Oct. Ex-Governor Taft dis
cussed the suppression of ladronism in
Cavite yesterday at a conference held with
the presidentes of twenty-five towns of
Cavite province. He told the assembled
presidentes that they and their people must
unite and work for the suppression and
punishment of crime. The presidentes
promised to organize volunteers for this
purpose in each town. They asked Governor
Taft to secure the passage of a vagraney
act that would reach ladrones and dissolute
Americans and foreigners. Many discharged
soldiers and other foreigners make their
homes with the natives and the influence of
these men is often bad. TIL government
has been asked to secure the deportation of
such persons, but up to the present time Il
has had no means of dealing with them.
Governor Taft promised the presidentes to
draw up a vagrancy bill covering these
cases.

MAY BE SYMPATHETIC STRIKE
COmmittee Likely to De-
clare Machinists' Strike ON
Hartman Lines.

1t is possible-though nc decision has
been r~eached-that the strike now in prog
ress on the Union Pacific may be extended
all over the Hartman system. 1t is the
desire of the strike leaders that this policy
be decided upon, since there is no indication
of concession by President Burt.
The executive committee of the Interna-
tional Association Of Machinists is now in
session in Chicago and has promised to con-
slider the advisability of declaring a SYM
pathetic strike of all its members who are
employed in shops on the Hartman roads.
Strike leaders here believe such action will
be taken. II it is, the other crafts, the
boilermakers and blacksmiths, probably
will get similar concessions from their ex-
ecutive boards and the strike will then be-
come universal over all the roads controlled
by Hartman. In this way the strikers feel
assured Of forcing a victory within a short
time.

BATANGAS is IN POOR WAY
ORlciRI Report Begs for Agricultural
Bank to Set Province ON
Feet Again.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 22.-The Bureau Of
Insular Affairs OF the War department has
made public a report Of Simon Luz, gov
ernor of Batangas province. dated Septem-
Der s. He says:
There is absolute peace in the province
and almost all the inhabitants accept Amer
lean sovereignty and welcome the inaug-
uration of civil government. On every
land I found the inhabitants engaged
in peaceful pursuits.
Batangas prior to the insurrection against
Spain was one of the wealthiest provinces
In the archipelago, but now Its condition
is deplorable, with little hope of a present
relief.
During the past three years about IS
per cent of the animals used for agricul-
tural purposes died from disease. The ami
mails brought from the other provinces also
died. 1t will take many years to re-estab-
fish the former condition unless there is
help. 1t is my opinion that II an 'tagri-
cultural bank were instituted, at which
the land owner could borrow money the
question would soon be solved.
In the inland municipalities there is O
scarcity of rice and other food.
Schools have been established In most Of
the municipalities and American teachers
are at work. Large numbers of boys and
girls are beginning to speak and write the
English language quite f%iuently. A provin-
GiaI high school has been established at
