 Tas7f United States exercised sovereignty over the island and peo- pie?
 Has the United States the title to the island, and if not where does the title rest?"

 It is expected that the Sluby-Arco system will be exclusively used by the German merchant marine.
 1t is said among the electoral engi- neers here that the government is drafting bill to regulate wireless telegraphy and tending to uniformity of service, and that the effect of this bill will be to exclude the MarcOni system from Germany.

Louis stephen Mears. for twenty years citizen of Pope county, was last week acquitted at Bonham. Tex, of the charge of murder, the killing occurring in 1882 Mears removed to this state shortly after the killing, occurring in 1882. Mears removed to this state shortly after the killing adopting the name of Stephens. There was only one witness to the affair, and the victim, Wm. Simons. before his death stated that when he was stabbed his hands were tried and he could not defend himself. Mir Mears states that his reason for not standing trial at the time was that the people were prejudiced against him, and he would not have been given fair deal. Last year he vol untarily surrendered, after learning that a witness to the affair was still alive, gave bond and returned last week for trial
