He recommends that the waters on

OF the enemy furnish sufficient guide to
his position. They are therefore at

by the navy.

participated in the attacks against the

London, Oct 31.-At a meeting of

Chairman J. White Tood spoke en-
couragingly of the political and eco

present depression in the sugar trade
He said the new government inaugu-
rated in Cuba under American auspices
was proceeding most satisfactorily
from the standpoint of the British in
vestor. Perfect quiet and confidence
prevailed. Assuming the passage of
the American reciprocity bill, coupled
with the favorable influence of the
Brussels sugar convention, there was
every reason to expect a great business.

prosperity. The best information now
pointed to the sugar crop being at
least equal in quantity to that of last
year.
Referring to the PRONUNCIATION Of the
new laws, prior to the American evac-
uation of the island, the chairman said
the American authorities had showed
every disposition to act fairly towards;
the invested interests Of the railroads.
He thought the revised laws were not

Given Six Months for colliding With
Electric Car.

New York, Oct 31.-Six months i'm
prisonment in the Kings county peni-
tentiary was the sentence pronounced
by City Judge Kellogg Of Yonkers upon
w. B. Raymond, the automobilist who
was arrested after his machine had
been in collision with trolley car on
Sunday last. The accident caused in
juries to twenty-five persons who were
on the car. The occupants of the auto
mobile escaped unhurt. Joseph Nagle
the motorman of the trolley car, testi-
fled at the trial that the automobile
had crossed the track in front of the
car three times within a short dis
tance. Raymond said that he had
crossed the track and said he had done
SO in order to afford those with him a
better view of the river. He ac-
knoWledged that on crossing the track
he had failed to look back to see if a
car was approaching. The car came in
contact with the rear of the automobile
and turned over on its side. Judge
Kellogg, in sentencing Raymond, said
he was convinced that the automobilist
had been negligent and that he should
be punished.

TO COVER A CRIME.
Remains of Three Persons are Found
in a Burned Home Near Elk
,. horn, Wisconsin.
Victims Were Two Brothers and a
Sister Ranging From Thirty
d. Five to Forty Years.
Believed They Were Killed for Pur
poses of Robbery and House
Aftervard Burned.

Elkhorn, Wis, Oct. S1.-William
Wickerson, aged forty-six; Albert
Wickerson, a brother, aged forty
three, and Julia Wickerson, a sister.
aged thirty-five years, were found
burned to death in their home ten
miles west of here. The news of the
catastrophe was brought to Elkhorn
by neighbors of the Wickersons. The
house was burned to the ground some
time during the night and the charred
remains of the victims were found in
the ruins in the morning. Nothing is
known as to the cause of the fire.
The Wickersons were well-to-dc
farmers.
It is suspected that the Wickersons
were robbed and murdered and the
house set on fire to cover the crime
When the flames were first discov
cred the roof of the house had all
burned off and by the time that the
nearest neighbor, who lived a quarter
OF a mile away. reached the scene, the
structure was entirely wrapped in
flames. ILL., s"
Four other members of the family
were not at home at the time.
The Wickersons were reputed to be
wealthy and it was said that they were
accustomed to leave large sums of
money around the house.
1t is supposed that somebody with
4 knowledge Of the fact committed the
robbery and then burned the house to
hide the deed. An investigation will
be made ". - -
