 SIR: You will likely remember that on last Tuesday you found" me fishing on my brook, couple miles south of the town. You, too, was in fishing regalia, and very suspiciously came up out of the brook just ahead of me. You, with your friends, have fished my brook more times than I this summer, and I move you, Sir, that should 'you find me" fishing under similar conditions to last Tuesday, I will do my best to punish you with legal weapons for satisfaction, and prosecute you by law for damage.
 Yours truly, till we meet again,

Premier Averts the Crisis Threaten
Ing His Party.

LONDON, June 11.-By a deXtfous
and extraordinary speech Premier Bal
four temporarily smoothed over the
differences in the cabinet, relieved
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain of any
necessity of resigning and for the mo-
ment averted crisis which threatened
the Union:st party. This Mr.. Balfour
accomplished without committing the
government either to protection or free
trade.
In a whimsical vein Mr.. Balfour ex-
planned that the only reason that the
corn tax was put on was because the
government wanted money, and the
only reason it was taken off was be-
cause the government wanted money
no longer. Reverting to the charges of
vacillation, the premier declared that
he himself, though a believer In free
trade (which statement met with loud
applause), did not regard it as fetish,
and he had absolutely an open mind
regarding the necessity for any alter
ations in a system which was founded
to suit conditions of fifty years ago.
He refused not only to make a state
ment of any finality upon such an i'm
portant question, but he also refused to
compel his colleagues to conform to a
standard of opinion upon which he
himself had an open mind. He admit
ted that differences of opinion existed
within the cabinet, but these were not
serious enough to cause the resignation
of any member
Mr.. Balfour made an impassioned
plea, enforced by the precedents of
friction in Mr.. Gladstone's ministries,
for allowing the premier to retain an
open mind upon question so difficult
and so superior to all party issues. The
speaker did not believe that the coun-
try would ever return to the old pro-
tective system, and no tax on food was
ever imposed without the full assent of
the working classes. They were con-
fronted, however, continued the pre-
mier, by three great phenomena huge
tariff walls against the United King
dom, the growth of the trusts and the
desire of the colonies for closer fiscal
union with the mother country These
factors could not be ignored. He main
tanned that the method of starting a
public discussion was the only way to
deal with them, though he did not COM
NIT himself to Mr. Chamberlains more
advanced programme. 1t would be fol-
ly and rashness, he said, to interfere
with the great system which had been
in operation for so many years without
the most careful examination and
without due regard for history and the
traditions of the past
The effect of his speech will gener-
ally be taken to mean that the tariff
issue is to be shelved for the present.
Henry Chaplin's amendment, which
gave rise to the most interesting debate
of the present parliament, was defeat
ed by the overwhelming majority of
398 votes, composed of Unionists, LID
erals, Irish members, Mr.. Chaplin's adj
herents and almost all the followers
of the government, while many Others
of the Conservative party abstained
from voting.

other persons besides the three to
whose murder Mrs. Mary Mcknight
confessed yesterday, an investigation
shows, have died in the past fifteen
years under circumstances that, in view
of the womans confession, are now
thought to be very suspicious. All of
the eight were either relatives or init
mate friends who died while living
with Mrs. Mcknight or while she was
at their house. All are said to have
shown symptoms that are now believed
to indicate strychnine poisoning.

Elephant Tires of Circus Life.


WATERLOO, n. Y, June 1.-THE
mammoth elephant belonging to the
Hargreave circus escaped and swan
through the Seneca river to an island
opposite the circus grounds. The keep
er attempted to follow the animal in a
boat, but on reaching the island could
not land, as the enraged brute would
not let the boat get near. The entire
force of circus hands was pressed into
service None of the men dared face
the elephant, whose madness was in
censed by fright until his trumpeting
attracted nearly the whole village to
the scene. Finally the elephant was
driven into shallow water, where he
was unable to battle the army of men
who enlisted to assist in the novel
sport of subduing Asiatic game. A
large feet of boats quickly surrounded
him when he became fastened in the
mud, and in a short time he was in
chains. He was then forded down the
river about a quarter of mile and
safely landed.
