national Law
The state department has been In
formed that Godfrey Hunter, jr.. SOD
OF the United States minister at Gaute-
mala city, shot and killed Will
liam Fitzgerald ofGrand Rapids, Mich.
Hunter has taken refuge IN the legA-
ton and AN interesting question has
arisen as 10 his exemption from arrest.
Important details are lacking In the
report Of the affair which has come to
the state department, and the officials
are In doubt as to what should be done.
They have no notion OF surrenderlng,
without protest, an American citizen
TO the local courts Of Guatemala, un.
less satisfied that the man lisa proper
subject for punishment.
Even then, ~ is not at all certain
that the department itself has the
right TO waive any legal exemption
that the mau might have. Intena-
tional law lays down the precept that
AN ambassador, or minister. may not
OF his own accord surrender any such
exemption In his own case.

Almost Unanimous Vote for
 Nicaragua Route.
ONLY TW0 OPPOSED
Test Vote for the Purchase Outright of Panama Canal for Forty Millions Put as an Amendment, When lO2 Voted for and lzO Against.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The Hepburn canal bill passed the house late this afternoon by q practically unanimous vote, as only two out of 5fo members voted in opposition to it.
 These two were Fletcher, of Mime ssta, and L.assiter of Virginia, who were opposed to committing the house on the subject at the present time. Their opposition gaining some appar- snt support. they attempted to secure an amendment to the bill to lodge with the president discretionary power to purchase the Panama canal complete if the same could be bought for $40, OOO,OOO
 The test came on the first vote, when the amendment received 1O2 votes against l70. But when the bill came up for final passage there was, as be- fore stated, only two votes against it.
 It is believed that the bill will be taken up by the senate at as early q date as can be fixed, and that it will then meet with little opposition.

II. J. Sullivan an 1 Tim Sullivan reached Nome Sunday from Candle, having made the trip in four days actual uavelIug time. The! were com pelled to lay over two days at the head of the Inmachuk on account of a severe storm.
 NJ. J. Sullivan think, that Candle creek will witness pretty lively sum- mer. but so far no prospecting has been done to determine the actual extent of the ray,treak. Whether the run of gold is confined to the bed of the creek or extends into the banks is yet to be shown.

ARE FINALLY
 DISPOSED OF
City Warrants Issued for the Last of the Bills for Lumber for Street
 Improvement Purpopes.

Another hundred dollars was trans ferred from the general fund to the attorney fund at the meeting of the city council on Monday evening. over which some discussion ensued. The matter was introduced by councilman Geiger, seconded by Valentine. Mr. Geiger, referring to his motion, stated that City Attorney Hoggatt was de- sirous of bringing suit against q num- Der of delinquents at one time.
 Jourden wanted to know what was the matter with the Lang case, now be- fore the court, and out of which test case was supposed to be made.
 Hoggatt retorted by stating that, with all his threatenings of testing the case. Mir. Lang refused to fight, and was doing nothing but delaying the proceedings.
 City Clerk Cashel informed the mem bers of the council that Mir. Scott, of Scott & Stewart, to whom the city is in debt to the tune of S7SO for lumber for planking that portion of Front street from Fieke's east, intended bringing suit to recover the same. MT. Scott was willing to pay all taxes. amounting to some $250, and had waited long enough.
 The clerk was instructed to issue a warrant to Scott & Stewart, Nome Hard ware Company and the N. A. T. & T. Company, less their respective taxes, the warrant to be on the special street fund. This disposes of all street improvement bills.
 The ordinance providing for terra cotta, brick or cement chimneys and flues within the fire limits of the city was unanimously adopted.
