Robinon's Trial Next.

The jury in the case of Henry ku-
shertz VS.. the Chicago. Milwaukee q
st. Paul railway company agreed up
on verdict late Friday afternoon,
which was in favor of the plaintiH.
The award was 81. 53s, and the
amount asked was 81, 900.
The. defense made its fight on law
alone and nut on very little testimony,
conceding that the boy had received
very bad injury. The only evidence
put on by the defense was to show
that the boy did not have any bust
ness in the railroad yard at that hour.
When the defense had rested 1t moved
that the Jury be instructed TO bring in
verdict for the defendant, on the
ground that the evidence did not show
that the road was liable. This was
denied, and the arguments were sub
mitted
The railroad company will appeal
the case on law points.

NOTES ON MEMS CLOTHING.

Mitchell, New York's authority on
mems clothes says of this winter 8
styles 1.-The most conspicuous charac-
teristic of the garments for this win
ter is the absence of anything extrava-
CANT or at variance with refined taste.
There will be a general conformation
to the outlines of the figure, combined
with simplicity and quietDess of finish
Instead of the shoulders of coats be-
ing broad and padded, they will be
of natural width and height. The
breakback sacks that fingered forlorn
through the spring and summer have
disappeared entirely, except as freaks
sometimes seen on callow youths who
! think they have an abnormal supply
| of sporting blood in their veins, and
sacks which merely suggest the waist
outlines have taken their place. The
extravagant ''peg-top" trousers are
suspended by those whose outlines
suggest those of the wearers legs. =

A Boneless Big Fish.
IFrom the Kennebec Journa1.l

i4O11l AK 0OatI ldl.l
A York fisherman relates an exper-
fence he had the other day in capturing
a curious specimen of the finny tribe
which is puzzling everybody to deter
mine exactly what sort of a sea monster
it is. He was about two miles from
Boon Island when he felt a tug on his
six-pound line. He commenced to pull
in, but found that he had tackled a hard
job. He finally got the monster into
the boat and brought it in. The fish is
of a muddy color. over six feet long.
and with a head that is fully three
quarters of a yard wide at the widest
part. 1t has a mouth resembling that
of a shark, and small teeth. The teeth
are not hard as would naturally be ex-
pected in a fish of this size. Its yes
are about as big round as an old
fashioned copper cent. The fish weighs
200 pounds. One of the strangest things
about the fish is the apparent absence
of bones.

THE DIVINE AUTHORITY.

The divine authority of Jesus Christ dis
tinctly prohibits any modern Joshua from
killing his way into any modern Canaan,
and if the world deems necessary such
things as are being done in South Africa
and the Philippines it has no right to claim
any Christian sanction for the enterprises
and the methods employed. The only point
we are just now making is that. granting
that the brute policy is necessary and
therefore right, We can not put Christ s
name to it.-Rev. DR.. Charles H. Park

Considerable correspondence relating to
the pure food law of the District of Column

mittee on the District for its consideration.
In a communication, dated yesterday, ad-
dressed to Senator Mcmillan and signed by
Commissioner Macfarland, the latter calls

Senate bill S342, for preventing the adultera.
tion, misbranding and imitation of food,

providing any efficient substitute therefor.
The Commissioners recommend that this

District until there may be some demon

ASPHALT WAR AGAIN ON.
The Warner-Quinlan Syndicate Pro-
tests to the President.

The asphalt war has taken another turn
and the Warner-Quinlan syndicate has
lodged with the President a protest against
what 1t regards as the unwarrantable In
terference of the United States government
in the legal proceedings now in progress in
Venezuela between the two asphalt COM
panies. which interference is alleged to be
in the interest Of the Bermudez company.
AS the facts are known to the State De-
partment, the Warner-Quinian syndicate
obtained victory In one Of the lower yen-
ezuelan courts over It's opponents in the
contest for the possession OF La Felicidad
asphalt lake. The Bermudez company,
being In possession. appealed to the Ven
ezuelan supreme court before which tribu-
nal the case is now pending. Meanwhile
the Warner-Quinlan people secured an
order from the lower court to give them
possession Of the lake. At this stage United
States Minister Bowen lodged a vigorous
protest with the Venezuelan government
against arbitrary action OF that kind, in
sisting that the status as to the possession
Of the asphalt lake should be maintained
until the supreme court decided the case.
1t Is against that action that the Warner
Quinlan syndicate protests. Mr. Bowen
has, accordingly, been supplied by the State
Department with copy of the protest, and
requested to make a statement as to what
he has done.

GUNNER MoRaAN's CASE,
Examined for Promotion by Men of
His Grade.

There seems to be soEle misunderstanding
about the case of Gunner Charles Morgan
of the navy. According to statement
made at the Navy Depa rsment today Gun
ner Morgan was recently examined to de,
termine his fitness for promotion to the
grade of chief gunner. The examination
was conducted at the Washington navy
yard by a board composed of Chief Gunners
G. b. Magruder, Thomas M. Johnson and
Frank c. Messenger. The board made a.
unanimous report, in which it Is stated
that the mental and professional fitness of
the candidate to perform the duties of a
naval officer at sea in the next higher grade
has been established to their satisfaction,
but they are not satisfied as to his moral fit
ness owing to his general reputation; and
therefore, we certify that Gunner Morgan
United States navy, has the mental and
professional, but not the moral, qualifica-
tlons to perform efficiently all the duties
both at sea and shore, of the grade to
which he was to be promoted, and do not
recommend him for promotion" The medf-
cal board also found Guner Morgan physi-
cauy disqualified for promotion on account
of defective vision.
In view of this report Secretary Long has
ordered that Gunner Morgan be named on
the naval list as gunner. He has been
listed as chief gunner Subject to exami-
nation"
Rear Admiral Sampson had nothing to do
with this case. His objection was to Gun
ner Morgan's appointment as an ensign in
the navy Morgan was never examined for
commissioned rank, being-ineAgible on ac-
count of age.

WHY HE DID IT.
Representative Coombs Explains His
Vote on Cuban Reciprocity.

THE amendment to the Cuban bill was
for the purpose of killing it, and for the
purpose of showing that in the future we
propose to protect our own people first"
This was the remark this morning of Rep
resentative Coombs of California, one of the
republicans who Joined in the revolt against
the leaders Of their party yesterday, and
shows the mental attitude of beet-sugar
republicans generally. Continuing, Mr.
Coombs said:
L have found the commercial centers
Of the great east organizing for reciprocity
with an idea of striking at the agricultural
interests for what they call trade relations
This proposed treaty with Cuba would be
but the beginning
Il believe every member of Congress rep
resentfng an agricultural district should be
on guard and not permit any industry of
the soil to perish for what is termed the
extension of trade

offer, as everything was fair and just to
you. Your acknowledgment that a contest
is impossible in the east is only a repetition
of my action toward their bid. Your ac-
ton toward the California bid led me to be-
Eeve you were trying to avoid a meeting.
We pledged mutually to agree on the best
bid on a certain date, and at that time the
east had not been heard from, and you re-
fused to accept anything here. / don't want
to dictate anything, but want mutual finan-
cial interests. and will therefore commune
cate with clubs in California, which will
doubtless insist on deciding what is the best
date, and we must agree ON something.

have done, and sorry you have not realized
the same.
