intention of committing suicide at 8
o'clock and that he would inflict the
wound in such a way that it would not
be fatal at once, in order to give the
paper a chance to get his death-bed
statement. The letter spoke of several
persons whom Jackson said had wreck
ed his life and estranged him from his
wife, and that before he went to the
next world, he would get even" with
them. Jackson later in the day decided
that the suicide proposition was off.

Mrs. Julia Peahu, in whose house
Jackson was found, stated she knew
Jackson. She did not know the exact
hour he came in yesterday morning but
it was late. When he went through her

Seeking Information.

A New York lady, who makes II
a rule to answer instructively every
question her young son asks, was
confronted with a problem in geogra'
ply recently which called for lengthy
exposition. The younster was curious
to- know about the proposed Panama
Canal, so his mother brought out
map Of the Western Hemisphere and
prepared to give him a short lesson
on the subject.
"This Is North America" she ex'
planned, land this is South America
You see that South America Is shaped
something like pear. and 1t is fast
ened to North America by this stem

Is to be cut across there"

Panama, Colombia. "A naval battle
was fought in the harbor Monday
morning between three rebel gunboats
and two Government steamers armed
for fighting.
The Government steamer Lautaro

later sank in the harbor.
The rebel gunboat Darien was Grip

Many were killed on the Lautaro.
Governor Carlos Alban, who has
been the right arm of the Government
in resisting the rebels, was killed In
the fight.
The United States cruiser Philadel-
phia was in the harbor and saw the
fight. Her crew assisted IN trying to
put out the fire on the Lautaro.
The rebel vessels stole in and took
the Government steamers by surprise.
The rebel fleet consisted of the con-
verted gunboats Padilla, Darien and
Guitan. The Government boats were

ed steamers, equipped by Governor
Alban to fight the rebels.
The Government gunboat Boyaca
was not in the harbor during the fight,
but arrived after the engagement was
over. The rebel gunboats withdrew
when she hove in sight.
From shore several shots from the
rebels were seen to pass over the Chi
quito, and she replied warmly. The
Chicuito's shot fell close to the Padilla
and she was observed from shore to
retire.
The shore guns Of Las Bovedas
opened fire on the rebel ships. The
Government forces hastily began
throwing up entrenchments, fearing
that the rebels might force landing.
When the rebel vessels withdrew the
Lautaro was on fire and the Darien
and Padilla moved so slowly that 1t
was believed that both were badly
damaged. e.
1t is reported on shore that the fir
ing Of the Lautaro was the result of
treason. Traitors are said to have
been among her crew, and rebellins

the Government. His death Is deeply
deplored. for he was loved by his sol
diers and esteemed by the community.

they pretended to. 1T is an newt

General Bell, 'that the innocent must

He declares that among municipal

and that they must be discovered. 1t
is almost certain, he says, "that the

declares, is no evidence Of loyalty, and

he says, should not be tolerated.

and then dwelt on the subject Of the
pollution of the Passaic Valley. The
Governor gave the history Of the con-
dition Of this river and said that to
remedy the conditions existing was
merely paying the penalty Of crowd
ing population"
Governor Murphy unstintingly
pitched into the present election law
Of New Jersey. Theoretically and
practically, If the voter DESIRES" he
said, 1T is q secret ballot" in New,
Jersey. But the Governor thought IT
generally admitted that the ballot In
fact was not q secret one. He pointed
out that the ingenuity Of the wicked
is quite equal to the task Of destroy
ing the secrecy Of the ballot" Then
he recommended that the present law
be so amended that no official ballots
shall be obtained by the voter except
in the booth, and suggested that the
Massachusetts, law be followed; also
that the polls close at five o'clock in
stead of seven o'clock, and, further,
that primaries be held under the con-
troll of the Boards Of Election and the
expense be paid out Of the public
funds.
The Governor pointed out the
splendid financial condition Of the
State and recommended the increase
of the National Guard by adding one
regiment.
The Governor advocated q State

that statistics showed that in the past

asking the hearty cooperation Of the
Legislature and promising at all times
to counsel and advise when called
upon.
Immediately following the cere-
monies in the Opera House the Gov
ernor was escorted to the grand stand
erected before the State House. from
which he reviewed the entire division
of the National Guard of the State,
which had been turned out in his
honor-probabiy $500 troops-together

The Military Situation In the Phiiippin.

Manila.-General Chaffee. in the an
nual report which has just been issued.
sums up the situation from the mill
tary point Of view by saying that the
Provinces Of Batangas and Lagua, in
Southern Luzon, and the Islands Of Sa-
mar, Mindoro and Cebu. constitute the
disturbed area In which bodies of in
surgents in force are to be found.
Municipal and provisional govern
ments are being organized. These gov
ernments have not yet received prac-
tical trial. They constitute the only
certain and reliable method of ascer-
tanning the progress of the Filipino to-
ward self-government.
In the same report Judge-Advocate
Groesbeck says the suppression of bri-
gandage will probably be one of the
most trying problems Of the future.
If the military arm be left free to deal
with the marauders there is no doubt
Of their final suppression. But the
presence Of the civil government COM
plicates the situation considerably.
With the civil and military authorities
working in harmony, says Judge Groes-
beck, no evil results should be antici.
