bfnGs in n Dispute Over n Claim.

twice
The stabbing occurred in alr. SCOTS
private office. MI. Seedlings had done
some work for the Illinois Wire Com
Ipany e which there had been a dis
Ipute. The two had a quarrel and Steb-
bings, it is said, called Scott a liar.
There was a scuffe and fhe two burst
from the private office with blood flow
ing from Scott's wounds. Seedlings
made no attempt to escape.
Seedlings when arrested, said he had
struck Scott in self defense and that he
had not intended injuring him seriously.
The fight was witnessed by Miss Myrtle
IShumate, a stenographer in SCOTS
office. According to Hiss Shumate's
story, the two men were in Scott's pri-
vate office for nearly an hour, disputing
over a claim for $1,000. Suddenly the
door was thrown open ard the men
staggered into the outer office, kicking
each other and using their fists. Steb-
.bings held the long steel paper knife in
his right hand and the weapon could be
flashing IS the men struggled.
Suddenly Seedlings struck Scott in the
body. The blow was repeated a mo-
.ment later. Scott staggered backward
and finally fell I o the floor. He died
within half an hour.

PACIFIC
President Makes Public Text of Con
ditiOns Which He VIII Approve.

Oyster Bay, N . Y, August 9.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today made public the
full text Of the conditions under which
he will approve of the plan to lay a
submarine cable in the Pacific to on
meet the United States with it's Pacific
Oriental possessions. The memoran-
dunn is not a contract. 1t simply de
fines a situation in which the president
will consent to the laying of the cable.
1t is likely that an act of congress rati-
flying the conditions imposed will be
necessary.
While the conditions are regarded as
stringent, it is believed the company
will accept them and hat the work OF
laying an American cable to the orient
will soon be begun.

Their Outing n Failure.

Way along last January" said a
Detroit merchant who had Just got
back after a week ''up north" accord
ing to The Detroit Free Press, II plan
ned with three Of my friends to put in
two weeks in the woods this summer.
We were to hunt, fish, play poker, sleep
on hemlock boughs and have a real jol-
ly time, and there was hardly a day
hat I didn't think about the good time
in store for me. Well, it seemed as If
the time would never come, but we got
off at last a few days ago and brought
up in a town on Lake Michigan. From
thence we got a man to drive US foru-
teen miles INTO the woods, and our an
ticipations were at last to be realized.
There was a lake. and there was game,
n there were hemlock boughs in plen-
ty. We got a brush shanty built before
night, and when darkness came we sat
around a cheerful fire and patted each
other on the back Not for long, though
Pretty soon one fellows face began to
lengthen, and he looked up and said:
boys, I'd give half my life for a
cocktail, and why I was ass enough to
make this trip will always be a mys-
terry to me-"
1--WE started a laugh" continued the
merchant, but five minutes later a
second nan remarked:
81 always have a Welsh, rarebit
about this time in the evening, and
how I'm going to get along without ii

"And I always have a cup Of cocoa
and some ginger snaps, and. 1 tell you,
I'm blamed lonesome without EN-, add
ed the third
We'll, I can't explain how it was,
but I began to think of sherry n
crackers, and in less than two minutes
1 was as homesick as a boy. We sat
and looked into the fire and kept silence
for a time, and then one of the party
sighed and said:
Boys, can we ever stand ii for w
weeks?"
Never replied the other three OF
US.
What shall We do?'

And start for home we did, and here
1 am, and when you get me of on an
other junket you'll have to carry me in
a box and send a first-class hotel along

Isle Of Pines.
philadelphia Record.)

Ak1eoAAt
1t is claimed by the authorities at
Washington hat the Isle OF Pines
passed "constructively" under the turis-
diction of the Cuban government on
May 10Th last, the date # the American
evacuation.
The claim Is evidently made with a
view to shift on Cuban shoulders the
responsibility for the political chaos
which has supervened in the Isle OF
Pines in consequence oS the failure Of
congress or the administration to pro-
vide a governmental agency OF some
kind for the same. By .he terms OF the
Platt amendment, however. the Isle OF
Pines was excluded from the constftu-
tional boundaries Of the Cuban republic.
Why should the new republic out OF its
slender purse supply ms for
the government Of territory which it
does not own? The responsibility for
the existing state OF Anarchy In the Isle
Of Pines Is On the United States.
