Minister Admits a kiIIinq.

Terre Hauie Aug. 13.-The Rev.
Charles Hill. a Congregational minis
ter. has confessed that he fired the
shot that killed the widow Smith at
the mining town of Benwood fifteen
Years ago. She was stepping out of
the door of a neighbor's house when the
bullet struck her and she fell dead.
Three boys shooting at a mark some
distance away We're arrested, but the
bullet that caused the death was too
large for their guns. The widows son
WAS under suspicion. as it was said
he obtained considerable property by
the death of his mother. The Rev Mr.
Hill says he was shooting at a mark
with a young man named William
Trager and that he fired the fatal shot.

3 :
sioner OF pensions gave out the state
nent that an erroneous impression
seems To exist among many eN-confed-
crate soldiers, regarding the interpre-
tation TO be put upon the recent act of
congress relieving union soldiers of dis
abilities for having previously served
in the confederate army. The idea
seems to prevail that under this act the
government is authorized to pension
eX-confederate soldiers. and the result
is that the pension office is being de-
lused With applications from the form
CT wearers OF the gray.
The commissioner explained that the
law in question does not contemplate
the pensioning of ex-confederate SOL
diers, but that ii was designed solely To
remove the disability which SO long eX-
listed in the case OF men who We're inn
crossed into the confederate service
and later joined the union army.

CAUSE OF THE OUTBREAK.
Army Officers on the Philippine choI
era Situation.

San Francisco Aug. 13.-The reason
given by army officers who arrived on
the transport Lawton for the renewed
outbreak of cholera in the Philippines
is premature Withdrawal of precaution-
AIRY measures by American officials at
Manila, under the impression that the
disease was fought to a standstll. The
scourge WAS only scotched. however,
and with relaxation of the controlling
grip it resumed its work of devastation
with renewed vigor.
We will not get rid of cholera in the
Philippines said Lieut. Assistant Sur
geon I. l.. Rhoads until the heavy
rains come. That will be in October
In the meanwhile our people are doing
everything possible TO keep the disease
within bounds

it lacks the political authority required

There is little in the suggestion that
Balfour is riding for fall. The new
prime minister is not likely to attempt
to break off his career before it fairly
has begun. There is no ground what
ever for the suspicion that Joseph
Cha amberlain is disloyal to Baltour an(,
seeking to take his place when the rep

is exhausted.
a shrewder forecast, which is made
by one of the most promising and best
informed men in parliament, is that
Chamberlain will be prime minister
within three years by virtue of the
principle of the survival of the fittest,
and the education bill. with which he
is not identified, may bring about this
result, even at an earlier period.
