Woman Correspondent Who


A correspondent of Modern Society
writes as follows from Genoa concern
ing the crown princess of Saxony:
Last week l took a short trip from
Lausanne to Geneva, and spent two
nights at the Hotel d'Angleterre to try
to see the crown princess OF Saxony,
who is now stirring the passions OF
the population of the in which
she has taken refuge. Some are ro-
mantically for her, while others are
virtuously against her.
II thought that | should have a good
deal Of difficulty in catching sight of
her, but l met with a piece of good luck.
On the very day of my arrival, as | was
sitting in the hall looking at a time
table with one eye and watching the
staircase with the other, l saw a mans
hand stretched out toward me, and
heard a jovial: 'Tiensi How do you
do?' 1t was Maitre Adrien Lachenal,
ex-president of the confederation and
chosen advocate of the princess, who
was coming to pay his daily visit to
his client, for, as IA easily be be-

him, and was going to ask him how he
could help me in my desire to see the

TWO BULLET WOUNDS.
BurreIl Brown Shot by William
Grantham Tuesday Evening.
OCCURRED AT SWAN POND
Brown, After Having One Bullet Extracted,
Was Placed Under Arrest by Constable
Wild on Three Charges.

Another shooting affray took place
between the colored residents of Berk-
eley county Tuesday at s O'Clock p. m.
at Swan Pond. when Burrell Brown
was shot in two places by one Williem
Grantham. his brother-in-law. The
origin of the shooting was some fami-
lv trouble that occurred last week,
Brown and his wife having quarreled
and then parted, the wife going to
the home of her brother.
On tuesday evening the wife sent
her two brothers, William and Moses
Grantham and another man by the
name of William Green to her hus-
hands house to get a bed that she
claimed belonged TO her. The three
proceeded to Browns house. When
they reached the house instead of
knocking or asking for admission, they
deliberately broke the door down and
entered. Brown hearing the noise
started for the door to see what was
wrong when VIM. Grantham, who had
secured an entrance. seeing him ap-
proach, drew his revolver and shot
twice. Both balls took effect in
Browns body. one in his left thigh
and the other in his right shoulder.
Brown fell to the floor and Grantham
and the two other men, who accompa-
MED him fled.
All of the men are residents of
Swan Pond. The revolver used by
Grantham Was a 80 caliber.
Brown came to this city Wednesda y
and had warrants issued for their
arrest. The officers Wednesday went
to the scene of the shooting for the
purpose of arresting the men but it is
understood that Grantham, the one
that did the shooting had fed to
Maryland. When Brown came to this
city Wednesday the bullets were still
in his body and caused him consid-
cradle pain. When the guilty parties
are captured they will be punished to
the full extent of the law.
Brown, after having one of the bull
let's extracted by DR.. McSherry and
telling his pitiful story to a number of
people. was put under arrest by Con-
stable Wild, he having warrants for

STILL HIGHER.

The new building of Mr.. Joe Hobbs
is still going sky-ward. The three
high stories are being topped out
with a finish that will add much to
its beauty. as also the height. The
building becomes more imposing as if
nears completion. Whilst it throws in
deep shade the other three-storied
buildings of the block on which it
stands, it makes a most favorable inn
preston and will prove a fine orns-
ment to the CITY. The enterprise of
Joe is showing itself in his ideas of
building as inKbusiness.

SENATORS scoTT,s TRIP.

In a recent letter from Senator
Scott, written frcm Malta, he de-
scribes his ocean trip as having been
exceedingly pleasant and ENJOYABLE. He
declares that he considered il a most
fortunate thing that the ship landed
on schedule time. The bracing sea air
and a calm ocean had developed in him
such an amazing appetite that had
there been any delay there might have
been a famine on board sh p. Mrs.
Scott has shown marked improvement
in health, and is thoroughly enjoying
the trip. For the balance of this week
they will probably be sailing upon the
blue waters Of the Mediterranean,
making short stops at points of inter
est in Italy and Greece. The Senator
states that he never felt better in his
life.

TO ADJOURN TODAY.

An understanding .was.reached late
last night by which the Senate will
adjourn sine die some time today pro-
badly this afternoon. The democratic
amendment STIMULATING that the House
concur in the ratification of the Cuban
treaty will be adopted, but other pro-
posed changes in the treaty will be
voted down.
This conclusion Involved quite a
general understanding that the Cuban
reciprocity treaty could be much NOR
speedily disposed of than has been
considered possible heretofore. There
were some senators who expressed the
opinion that more than one DAVIS time
would be found necessary FOR the pre-.
sentation of arguments for and against
the agreement, but a canvass ofl-the
Senate soon DEVELOPED the facty-that
only two Louisiana senators desired to
be heard on the treaty at length at
this time, and that they would not
now say so much as they would have
said if the committee on foreign rela-
tions had not agreed to reco mmend
that the treaty be submitted to Con-
gress for its approval.

TREATY RATIFIED
Senate Approves Agreement With
Colombia by Vote of 70 to 5.
SESSION ENDED WEDNESDAY,
Cuban Reciprocity Treaty TO- Be COnsid-
ered-Two Senators to
Speak.

Washington March S.-The Pana-
ma canal treaty was ratified at z
o'clock last evening just as it was sent
to the senate bv the state department..
The vote was 20 to 5.
The votes against it were all demo-
cratic-Daniel and Martin of Virginia :
Pettus and Morgan, of Alabama, and
Teller, of Colorado.
During the day amendment after
amendment was voted down. Senator
Morgan offering fifty in one block.
The republicans stood firmly to their
position that to change the treaty as
submitted by Score sary Hay. and
agreed to by the Colombian diplomatic
officials. might result in the rejection
of the instrument by the Congress of
Colombia. As the matter now stands
it is believed that the Central Ameri
a government will accept the treaty
without unreasonable delay.
The surprise in connection with the
consideration of the treaty was the
large number of democratic votes it
received. 1t has been thought in the
last few days that a considerable num-
Der of the senators of this faith would
be found against ratification. but the
facts show that this assumption was
incorrect.
The day was given up almost,entire-
ly to general debate on the treaty
made under the general agreement by
Senators Morgan and Cullom, there
we're manv short addresses and rather
a long speech by Senator Daniel, of
Virginia.
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1903-03-21
GoRMAN SPEAKS AGAINST IT

Among those who spoke against it
vas Senator German, who devoted
himself especially to the question of
the necessity for adequate defense of
the canal. which, he said, could be as
sured only by the United Estates. he
asserted that senators were not think
ing for themselves, but were following
blindlv in the lead of the secretary of
state. Indeed, he declared, senators
were practically surrendering their
own offices in order to maintain a rep
utation for party ALLEGIANCE.
The only party vote of the dav was
taken on the substitute for article A,
which was agreed upon by the demo-
cratic caucus, and had Preference to
the acquisition of territory in Cen
trail and South America by the United
States, There were a number OF
speeches on this a%mendmut, but it was
voted down by an almost two-thirds
majority, the ballot footing up 81 yeas
to q nays.
