Cain raised cain by Staying Abel.
If Cain had not been able to slay
Abel while raising cain, would
Abel have been able to raise cain
with Cain because Cain had been
out raising cain? If so, why didn't
Abel cane Cain before Cain was
able to raise cain? IF Abel was
able to raise cain with Cain for
raising cain, why wasn't Abel able
to cane Cain?

she would give him hot meal,

The tramp agreed and the lady,

COURT-MARTIAL ORDERED.
Lieut.. Chester Wells Charged With
"Reprehensible Neglect"

Secretary Moody has rejected in part the
findings of the court of inquiry appointed
by him to investigate the conditions under
which the naval tug Leyden was cast
away on the south coast of Block Island,
January p, during a dense fog and heavy
sea. The Secretary, in his Endorsement
upon the report of the proceedings. recalls
the fact that It was. found by the court
that there was reprehensible neglect in
not getting soundings, and that this neglect
is especially noticeable in not getting sound
ings when in plain sight Of Montauk Point.
A sounding at this time would
have been of great assistance,
and OF greater accuracy than the one
adopted in estimating the distance by eye
alone sr-.-
The court found that no one was at fault
except the commanding officer but it al
luded to his trying position and his ad-
mirable conduct after the grounding. So 1t
recommended that he be given a letter Of
reprimand, and that no further proceedings
be had.
Secretary Moody disapproved the last part
OF the findings and directed the trial by
court-marual of Lieut.. Chester Wells say
ing that In his Judgment "reprehensible
neglect should not end except with the
Judgment OF court-martial.

TO MEET AGAIN
RECoNvENTIoN OF JOINT HIGH
COMMISSION.

1t Is learned that Senator Fairbanks ad-
dressed Sir Wilfrid lLaurier respecting a
reconventiOn OF the joint high commission,
as reported in the Canadian dispatches, In
pursuance OF the program outlined when
the Alaskan boundary treaty was ratified.
Sir Wilfrid and Senator Fairbanks are the
chairmen of the joint commission, and
when that body adjourned in 1900 it was
with the understanding that it could pe
reoonvened only by agreement of the two
chairmen. Senator Fairbanks was trying
to effect that reconvention when he ad-
dressed Sir Wilfrid Laurier. but so far the
answer Of the latter to the invitation mas
not been received.
The Alaskan boundary was the rock upon
which the commission split at this last
meeting. for 1t was clearly evident that
upon all the other issues. important though
they were, there was a. reasonable prospect
of agreement between the commissioners.
However. the rule in such cases Is to re-
quire the commission to adjust all or none
of the questions spbmitted-tthey must be
regarded as indfvisibfe-so all these other
issues went doWnyWtth the failure of the
Alaskan boundary, proposition. Now It is
the purpose, the boundary matter having
been eliminated " tna arrangement to SUB
again and adjust the same propositions
that were unlers consideration when the
joint commission adjourned.
Most important o3b these are the PROPOSE
tons to amend the treaty Of Washington so
as to permit the building of warships upon
the great lakesa to define the boundaries in
the Rainy lake SECTIONS; to define the rights
Of American and Canadian fishermen on the
great lakes: to regulate the use of the
bonding privilege for goods in transit from
one part of the country to another crossing
part Of the territory Of the other country.
State Department Is most interested is that
relative to lake shipbuilding, and It Is hoped
that an arrangement can be made by which
the United States navy can profit by the
the probable basis being strict limitation
upon the period Of time that newly con
structed naval VESSELS may remain in the
lakes after completion. and perhaps a re-
quirement that their guns be placed only
after they are In saltwater.

ANXIETY FOR THE ALEXANDER.
Naval Collier Has Been Helplessly
Adrift for Ten Days.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
PORTSMOUTH. Va, February 10
There is great anxiety at the navy yard
for the safety Of the collier Alexander,
which Is long overdue.
Capt. Cove Is well known here, having
been master Of the yards vessels for years.
His wife lives in Norfolk, and the sus-
pense and anxiety are telling upon her.
The Alexander has been adrift at sea
helpless for nearly ten days.
The Navy Department rests easy in the
belief that she is in the track of the ship
ping and will be towed in speedily.
There is enough to eat aboard and the
ship can make her own fresh water with
her condensers, but the injury to her rud-
der, it is feared will cause her to fare
badly In storm.
1t is probably that the tail Of the terrific
blow of Monday night struck her. but. with
the sail Capt. Cove had made before OFF,
Ger Adamson left the ship. it Is believed
she could weather the blow.
The navy people at this yard try to take
the most cheerful view of the matter. The
revenue cutters and perhaps another naval
vessel will be sent to join in the search.
