An Old Trouble.

Dispatches from South Bend. Ind, the

credit the theory that Prof. O'Malley' s

Indiana Medical Society, who attended

THE peculiarity connected with Prof.
O'Malley's illness was that after he was

Reversion of Tripoli.

The understanding. moreover. guaran-
tees TO Italy the reversion of Tripoll
whenever that part of the Sultan's do
mains becomes derelict. France has done
her best to estrange England and Italy
and doubtless will continue to do So but
Anglophobia is no longer dominant
passion with Frenchmen. There has
been a steadily growing cordiality in the
Franco-Italian relations during the last
two or three years. The bitter tariff
war between the TWO countries has been
closed to their mutual advantage and
understandings have been reached upon
a variety of small points.
Finally, France has wisely admitted
that Italy has a prior claim on Tripoii.
and 1t is this recognition of the inevita-
bic which appears to be mainly respon-
sible for the ridiculous stories which
are now floating around. The fact that
the triple alliance has just been re
newed ought TO suffice to prove that the
improved relations OF France and Italy
are merely personal TO those two coun-
tries, and in no way affect the great
groupings of the European powers.

No Break of Friendship.

Such remark demonstrates a monu-
mental ignorance OF the facts. There
has been no break in England's friend
ship with Italy, and there has never
been any desire in the British foreign
office for an alliance with Italy. All
that has ever existed and is ever likely
to exist is a clear friendly understand
ing with England. mainly in regard to
mutual interests in the Mediterranean.
That understanding is for mutual ben
eft and its Importance is that 1t pre-
vents any dangerous and unexpected
naval combination against British naval
supremacy in the Mediterranean, while
relieving Italy from the necessity of
maintaining a navy on a scale which
would impose intolerable burdens on her

BAILEY SHOOTING AFFRAY AT DOVER
Emma Harris is Charged with Urging the
Men TO Fight-BaiIey's Statement.

The shooting affray shortly before
midnight Tuesday, of Joseph Bailey
% years old, by Edward Holiday, oc-
curing as it did within 100 yards OF
the spot where James Gilmore was
murdered by Frank Brown in 1900, in
the center of the town and on Dover S
main street, has caused high feeling.
Early Wednesday morning the officers.
among who were Policeman Hurd and
Russell and Constable Williams, were
resuming search for Holiday, who is
desperate young man and we'll armed,
and who is supposed to be in hiding
on the outskirts of the town where he
has man friends and relatives.
About ten O'clock Chief of Police
Hurd arrested Emma Harris, the young
woman in the case, and gave her pre-
l1mlnary hearing, after which she was
fined $3.50 for disorderly conduct and
committed to prison as an accessory to
the crime. This action was taken be-
cause 1t developed, in the testamony of
the policeman, that the woman ran
around the outskirts of the town until
o'clock that morning, aiding Holli-
day to elude the officers who had sor-
rounded him. Chief Hurd swore that
had it not been for the woman's willy
movements, Holiday would have been
captured before daylight.
From other testamony IN the case it
developed that Bailey and Holiday
had engaged in a quarrel and the
woman, instead of trying to pacify the
principals, was urging them on. Hol-
ilday shot Bailey twice, the first shot
penetrating the hand which Bailey had
thrown out to protect himself, the sec
Ond passing into his stomach and
intestines and bladder.
Internal hemmorage began at once.
