LYNCHING AT HAMILTON. MONT
Walter Jackson, Who Murdered Small
Boy, the Victim,

HAMILTON. Mont, October 14.-Walter
Jackson, the. convicted murderer of Fon
ME Buck, a six-year-old boy was taken
from the county Jail here late last night
by a mob and lynched.
Shortly before midnight seventy-five
masked men, all armed with rifles or shot
guns forced their way through the rear
of the jail and overpowered Jailer Ste
phens. who was able to offer but slight re-
sfstance. Jackson was found cringing in
the darkest portion of his cell. He pleaded
piteously for mercy, but was rushed out
into the street, where the mob had already
provided themselves with a rope This
was quickly thrown over an electric light
pole and the moose placed about Jackson's
neck. He was asked if he had anything to
say, but only pleaded for mercy. The mob
then pulled him into the air, after which
they quietly dispersed. Not shot was
fired.
The identity of the mob leaders is un-
known Thirty-fve minutes after the
lynching Jackson's body was cut down by
the sheriff and coroner and removed to the
morgue.
The murder of little Fonnie Buck was a
peculiarly atrocious crime When the boys
body was found it was horribly mutilated.
Suspicion pointed to Jackson, and when he
was arrested a lynching was narrowly
averted. His trial quickly followed, and
verdict was returned within two hours. He
was sentenced to be hanged, but his attor
neys appealed to the supreme court.

PRIVATE PARKS ACQUITTAL.
Comment on Carelessness in the Use of
Firearms.

Private James ]. Parks. I'd Company,
Coast Artillery at Fort H. G. Wright. New
York was recently acquitted by court-mar-
tial Of the charge of manslaughter to the
prejudice of good order and military disci
pline. In his review of the case General
Chaffee. commanding the Department of the
East. says:
From an e,/nhination of the evidence in
the foregoing case it appears that the Off
Ger of the day had reason to cause the ar
rest of drunken and riOtous body of sol
diers, and in doing SO directed the use Of
blank cartridges to frighten the rioters, If
the necessity therefor arose, delegating to q
officer the duty of caus-
ing the rifles to be loaded with blank cart
grave error in not personally inspecting the
rifle of each member of the arresting party
to see that only blank cartridges were used.
80 serious step as that of authorizing
and directing the use of firearms in appre-
Ihending escaping soldiers must always be
guarded with vigilance and care. and had
greater Irrecaution to avoid accident been
taken in this case the unfortunate and re-
'grettable loss Of life ensuing would prob
ably not have occurred.
1.-The department commander cannot lend
himself to viewing with latitude any care
lessness In resort to the use of firearms
in arresting or quelling riotous soldiers,
though recognizing there are times when
such extreme measures are necessary.
Subject to the foregoing remarks the pro-
ceedings. findings and sacquittal are ap-
proved"

ANGLO-FRENCH TREATY
TEXT OF THE CONVENTION SIGN
ED RECENTLY.
Differences Which Diplomacy Does Not
Cover to Be Submitted to
Hague Tribunal.

LONDON, October 14.-The arbitration
treaty between Great Britain and France
was signed here today by Foreign Secre-
tary Lansdowne and the French ambassa-
dor, NJ. Cambon.
The text of the treaty is as follows:
1.-The government of the French republic
and the government of his Britannia
majesty, signatores of the convention con-
cluded at The Hague, July 20. 1899, for
the peaceful settlement of international dis
outes.
Considering that by article 10 of that
treaty the high contracting powers reserve
to themselves the right of concluding
agreements with the view to have recourse
to arbitration in all cases in which they
Shall consider it possible to submit thereto:
Have authorized the undersigned to
agree to the following provisions:
Article 1-Differences of judicial
order, of such relate to the interpreta-
ton of treaties existing between the two
contracting parties, which may arise be-
tween them, and which it may not be
possible to settle by means of diplomacy,
shall be submitted to the permanent court
of arbitration established at The Hague
by the convention of July %, 1899, on con-
dition, however, that they do not involve
either vital interests or the independence
or honor of the two contracting states, and
that they do not affect the interests of
third power.
Article 2-In each particular case the
nigh contracting parties, before address,
ing themselves to the permanent court of
arbitration, shall sign a special arbitration
bond setting forth clearly the subject under
dispute, the extent of the powers of the

tribunal and the procedure.
Article 3-The present arrangement is
concluded for a term of five years from the

PASSAIC VALLEY FLOODS
A Plan That Would Eliminate Danger
Of Damage.

plan has been submitted to the New
Jersey authorities that, it is thought bv
the authors, the United States geological
survey, would largely eliminate any fur
ther danger of damage by floods in the
Passaic valley, but owing to the cost of
the engineering that would be necessary
to carry out the plans of the hydrogra-
piers office it is not likely that the work will
ever be undertaken A report was made
OF an inspection undertaken by the office
of the photographer last year, and NJ O.
Leighton of the office here has again gone
to the scene of the recent disastrous foods,
with instructions to continue his inspec-
tion and add the results to another report
and recommendation that will be issued
The general plan of controlling the fresh
cts submitted in the report that was is
sued was to construct q dam across the
Pompton river at Mountain View, N j.,
the photographers asserting that such a
work would control the severest floods
that could be expected in the valley below
that point. BY the means recommended
the waters of the Ramapo, Wanaque and
Pequannock rivers could be absolutely con-
trolled at all seasons and danger from
flood be entirely eliminated. The cost,
however, of such work would be decid-
edIy greater than that of the simple con-
struction of the dam, including in the
scheme the condemnation of many square
miles OF FARMS ana Otner property that
would come within the area that would be
inundated by the artificial lake that would
be created by the rising waters behind the
dam.
In the absence Of this work the only
means that can be used to guard against
danger of flood is system Of warnings
that could be sent from observation sta
tions to a central point. where they could
be spread to the various factories operat-
ing within the threatened district. Goods
could then be removed to places of safety
and a great saving made. The loss during
the flood Of last year was estimated at
81 600 600

were made against several of the most
prominent officials of trade unions in the
city. Then came threats Of personal yto-
lence. but these Donnelly ignored, declar-
ing that he would clear up the case at any
cost.
The attack on Donnelly came just at the
opening of the series of conferences be-
tween the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and
Butcher Workmen and the packing inter-
ests of the country. Donnelly was to have
acted as spokesman for the men, and all
knew that his absence from the meetings
would mean decentralization. His close ad-
vfsers and the ofncfals Of the union re-
allied this and gave out the report that he
was temporarily i'll. Vice President C. E.
Schmidt Of the union took his place at the
head Of the committee which dealt with
the packers, and the men were pacified
with the information that he was working
under Donnellys orders

The Rioting Yesterday.

A dispatch from Armentieres North
france last night says: This town was
To-Day given up to riot, pillage and in
cehdlarism as consequence of the weav-
ers strike. Nothing this morning foretold
the serious disturbances about to occur but
at noon the strikers, not receiving answers
to their demands from the employers broke
out into the widest excesses.
A mob of 6,OO0 gathered in the great
square and urged the troops stationed there
to thrown down their arms, shouting
Down with patriotism
The rioters then spread through the prin-
c1pal streets, breaking the windows of the
stores, dragging out the huge display rolls
OF linen. which they stretched across The
streets with the object of impeding the ad-
vance of cavalry.
They wrecked shops. sacked the houses of
persons obnoxious to the ringleaders and
attacked the banks, in two of which they
succeeded in stealing few hundred dol
lars from the tilis.
One gang set fire to a large quantity of
linen in the cellars of Messrs Beequarts s
factory, others broke the windows of hous IS
and threw inside burning straw The
troops, hampered by the distractions
thrown in their way by the rioters were
for long time unable to disperse the mob.
Finally determined charge by lancers re-
stored temporary quiet.
Damage Done Under Cover of Night.
After dark the rioters tore. up the sewer
gratings and paving stones, and stretched
wires across the streets. Women brought
piles of empty bottles for use as missiles
while boys swarmed up the lampposts and
eXtinguished the gas jets. In spite of the
efforts of the sodiery the rioters then pro-
reeded to sack the houses. dragging out
the furniture, saturating it with petroleum
and setting fire to it in the street.
Fire was put to two houses belonging to
the strikers employers and one big factory
The local brigade being inadequate to cope
with the CONGREGATIONS, an urgent appeal
was sent to the neighboring town of Lille
whence steam pump and reinforceInents
of firemen were sent
BY midnight, however, the troops and
police had gained the upper hand and dis
persed the mob. The streets are now de-
serted except for the armed patrols. The
authorities are taking measures to ascer-
tain the names of the ringleaders in the
riots. AS a result of the intervention of the
prefect, the strike leaders have decided to
submit the employers terms to refer
endum of the workmen tomorrow
