Killed at Two HarbOrs.

James Kildee, a well-known char
acter to many range residents, hav-
ing at one time hung up his hat in
Virginia, was killed in a saloon row
at Two Rarbors last Friday night
by John Roach, the coronersjury
deciding that it was in self defense.
The murdered man was known as
a tough character, and the evidence
showed that he was the aggressor,
whipping out a gun and firing twice
at Roach, who then shot twice at
close quarters. Both shots were
effective, the second passing
through the top of the skull.

New YOrk's Musical Season.

The season of art istic music in this city
begins with this week From the end of
October till the coming Of warm weather
in May the metropolis throbs with the
melodies of the great masters. Outside
of New York the opera season is regarded
as furnishing the entire musical activity
of this town. London is especially fond
of harping upon this string and will not
admit that the Americans love music
The truth is that eight great orchestras
give concerts here in the course of the
season, that every singer, pianist, vo-
linist and 'cellist of note, and many with
out note or notes, give recitals, that
several important chamber music bodies
play periodically and that three fine
choral organizations present the MASTER
pieces Of their art. From Nov | to
April IA New York offers from twenty
to thirty interesting musical perform
anoes week. Not more than half Of
these attain sufficient public Importance
to command critical review in the daily
papers, but all attract considerable au-
diences.
The number of performances in week
is not striking when compared with those
Of the musical seasons ~ London and
Berlin, but the season lasts longer here
than it does in the English capital and
the total here is probably little larger.
Berlin Is the musical centre of the world.

Tammany Hall and the Tobin Case

Tammany Hall and the Tobin Case.
The announcement came from Albany
yesterday that the Court of Appeals had
affirmed the judgment of death in the
case of THOMAS ToB1N, convicted Of the
murder of JAMES B. CRAFT in this city
on Sept. p, 1902
In connection with this announcement.
some Of the newspapers have published
statements which seem designed to injure
CHARLES F. MURPHY, the present leader
of Tammany Hall.
In one journal we find headings like
this: Capt. CRAFTS Murderer Must
Die-Conviction of the Man Who Did
the Deed in G.. F. MURPHY's Hotel Is
Sustained The scene OF the crime
is described as "a West Twenty ninth
street dive" and the reader is told that
this is the house which, according to q
charge made by DEvERY short time
ago, is owned by CHARLES F. MURPHY,
and from which the Tammany leader
has been deriving large revenue In
another paper ToBIN is declared to have
been "the manager of drinking re-
sort in West Twenty-ninth street. be-
hind which, as financial hacker, VIII
LIAM DEvERY declares, was CHARLES
+. MURPHY, leader of Tammany Hail.
The clear import Of these statements
is to charge Mr.. MURPHY with some sort
of responsibility for the murder of CRAFT
1t seems to us that this is carrying
political animosity pretty far
The mere fact that man owns the
property upon which felonious homi-
eide is committed can in no wise make
him chargeable with any responsibility
for the crime. 1t would be different, Of
course, if he knowingly maintained the
property as resort for persons Of bad
character, or suffered it to be maintained
by his agents or lessees. We should want
clear and positive evidence to convince
us that Mr.. MURPHY had done this
The point which we desire to emphasize
Is the injustice of associating his name
with the Tobin case, in the absence Of
such evidence.

open only to sovereign powers. To de-
clare that Canada must have the right to
effect her own treaties is little short Of a
declaration that Canada must become
n sovereign power. Sir WILrRID's state
ment regarding an extension of Canadn's
power in international matters was made
on Oct, %, while sitting in his official
capacity in the Canadian Parliament, and
was made TO that body. Had it been a
mere slip of the tongue in heated de-
bate, 1t would doubtless have been either
overlooked or officially discredited by
the papers of his party. Only additional
force and significance are attached to IL
by its acceptance by the leading organ
of his party three days later.
A number of English papers have
charged Sir WILFRiD with disloyalty.
Replying to these charges, the Toronto
Globe says:
accuse Sir WILYRIp LAURIRR OF dsloyalty to the
Crown had better Inform themselves of the facts,
and II they then conclude that we should submit
without protest to being made N. victims Of
court Of the loaded dice order we can only say
that We cannot agree with them Under these
circumstances the Canadian Premier says that We
must get the right OF negotiating our own treaties
The means which Sir WILFRID would
employ to obtain this right are not speci-
fed, nor is it in any way indicated how
far he would venture in claiming or in
demanding the right
In view of this declaration by the head
Of the dominant party in Canada. it is of
interest to note that some of the Canadian
people charge him with responsibility
for the adverse decision of the Alaska
Commission. So eminent n man as Sir
CHARLES UPPER has openly asserted
Sir WILFRID's responsibility, by reason
of his consent to allow the matter ITO be
arbitrated by Commission composed of
United States politicians and British and
Canadian lawyers He asserts that the
manner in which LAURIER yielded to
the wishes of the United States as to the
way in which the question should be set
tied will be long remembered by the
people of Canada as a piece of weak
kneed craftsmanship.
The Canadian Premier seems to be
occupying u central position-between
two millstones In England he is
charged with disloyalty; at home In
Canada he is charged with the sacrifice
of Canadian interests.

The WAY TO Rcat Them

While there is no question Of the
obligation of every good citizen to do
his utmost 10 exclude from the ballot
box on election day the votes of floaters
and reporters, the first duty that devolves
upon the antiTammany canpaigners
is n more important one, not to be neg
lected, in order that the other may be
discharged. The energies Of all the
fusion forces should be bent to an effort
to have every voter who is opposed to
the return of Tammany to power de-
post his ballot before noon of election
day. The voters are on the registration
lists. If they all go to the polls, their
victory will be practically assured.
Mr.. r. FULTON CUTTINGS organiza-
ton and Mr.. NJ. LINN BRUCE seem to
be greatly exercised over the prospect
Of 10000 fraudulent votes being cast
for the Tammany ticket. 1t is probable
that $4,000 votes will be divided be-
tween the Tammany and the anti-Tam-
many tickets on election day. In spite
of the talk SO freely INDUCED in of 10000
illegal votes for Tammany, it is highly
probable that if 800 900 of the anti Tam
many voters go to the polls Tammany
will awake on Nov. 4 to u prospect Of
two more lean years. Mayor Low re-
ceived 100000 votes in 1901. This was
1000 more than Mr.. SHEPARD polled,
but it should be increased this fall.

Tho Erie Canal Question Answered
at Washin gtOn.

The extension Of full Federal jurisdic-
ton and control over the canals within
the States is plainly indicated by the
decision of the Supreme Court on Mon
day in the case of the enforcement OF a
len against an Erie Canal boat.
Mr.. Justice BROWN puts this beyond all
doubt in one passage of the majority
opinbn:
The only distinction between canals and other
nsvtssble waters is that they are rendered nsvi.
gable by ARTIFICIAL means and sometimes. although
by no means always are wholly within the limits OF
. particular Safe. We fail to see. however that
this creates any distinction In principle. In this
case. the Erie Canal. though wholly within the
State Of New York Is great highway Of commerce
between ports In different States and foreign coun
tries and Il 10 navg abe by vessels which also trav-
erse tho waters ofthe Hudson River"
In this decision, the circumstance that
the Erie Canal was originally constructed
as State enterprise and was paid for
and has been believed to be owned by the
State Of New York is brushed aside by
the majority Of the court. The Federal
Government jurisdiction is asserted
over the canal. 1t is treated as part Of
the maritime system over which Fed
eral authority is supreme and exclusive
II the Federal Government elects here
after to exercise complete control over
the Erie Canal as Federal waterway,
the courts decision prepares now for that
extension of Federal power. Millions or
hundreds of millions might have been
invested in the canal by the State at the
cost Of the States taxpayers; those mil
lions would stand in the way of Federal
assumption of full authority no more than
the accident Of a few hundred dollars
expended half century ago by local
enterprise in improving q river or creek
would lessen the Federal control Of one
OF the natural streams mentioned in the
annual river and harbor bills
The question of immediate concern is
not whether the Supreme Courts inter-
probation of the Federal Governments
constitutional power is theoretically de-
sirable or otherwise. The decision is
in line with other decisions all portend-
ing an enormous increase of the func-
tions and efficiency Of the Federal Gov
eminent. The conception Of State
canal as a highway of interstate and
foreign commerce is likely to fade out of
practical existence.
Do the taxpayers OF the Empire State
desire that two hundred or even one
hundred millions of their own cash shall
fade out of practical existence along
with the State canal?

EXPERTS on YELLOW FEVER.
All Csuyeetcd 10 the Theory mat Mos
Quiises Arc the sole Cartier 0G the Germ.

WASHINGTON. Oct 2s--At the morning
session Of the American Public Health
Association resolutions were adopted in
dorsing the plans and purposes OF the
American Congress IN tuberculosis, which
will meet in Washington in April, 1905, and
urging all States, municipalities and prov
inccs to be represented by delegates.
DR.. NJ. P. Ravensl Of Philadelphia. an
authority on the causes and treatment of
consumption, read sn address covering his
study Of the sub ject. DR.. Ravcnal is firm
believer in the theory that animal tuber-
culosis can be transmitted to human beings,
and urged the delegates TO assist n secur-
ing the enactment OF legislation with regard
to food products derived from animals
The afternoon session, which was de-
voted entirely TO discussion OF yellow
fever, developed remarkable unanimity
Of opinion among the delegates on the ques-
ton OF the mosquito as the sole means Of
transmission Of the yellow fever germ.
Many who in past years were the most
bitter opponents Of this theory announced
themselves converts to what they termed
the new @law."
DR. Porter Of the Marine Hospital Ser
vice, stationed in Florida, was one OF these.
He said that until the conclusion Of the re-
cent experiments in Cuba to determine
whether yellow fever was contagious and
infectious he had scoffed at the idea that
the mosquito was the sole means of infec-
ton. He said however, that the facts de-
veloped had forced him to change his mind.
and he now held that those who did not
accept the mosquito theory absolutely were
either deaf, dumb or blind.
Dr. 0sliteras, the Cuban yellow fever ex-
pert. told OF experiments which showed that
yellow fever was transmitted solely through
the agency Of mosquitoes. Others Of the
yellow fever experts among the delegates
who read papers to prove that the mos
quito was the sole carrier Of the yellow
fever germ we're DR.. John W Rose. U. 8. n;
DR.. Henry r. Carter. Public Health and
Marine Hospital Service; Col H. {. Gorgas,
Assistant SUPERINTENDENT. U. s. A., whose
work in CUBA added greatly TO the knowi-
edge now possessed Of the yellow plague.
DR.. Luiz E. Ruiz, the Mexican yellow fever
expert. and Drs. Carlos j. Finley and
j. NJ. Lindsay Of Havana.
1t was generally conceded by the dele
gates that IL the mosquito law Of trans
mission had been solely considered by the
health authorities in southern Texas. in
dealing with the recent epidemic. the ser-
BUSINESS OF the situation would have been
greatly lessened.
