Fined the Diplomat.

Hugh Quincy, third secretary of the
British Embassy, was fined In the police
court at Lee, Mass, yesterday, on two
charges.
For contempt Of court he was fined
$25. A similar fine was imposed in
case charging him with speeding
his automobile in Stockbridge on Sun
day.
Mr.. Quincy, when arraigned, posi-
lively refused to plead, claiming that as
che was the third secretary of his Bri-
tannic Majesty he could not. under inter
national law, be arrested or held for any
crime"
Special Justice Phelps said he did not
recognize international law in his court
and informed Mr.. Quincy that he must
enter plea. Mr. Quincy persisted in
his refusal. Then fine was imposed for
contempt of court.
Mr.. Quincy did not have in his pos
session sufficient money to pay the fine
and he was committed in the charge of
the officer who made the arrest. The
officer accompanied Mr. Quincy to Lem
OK where the money was secured.
Governor Bates today received COM
munication from Alvey A. Adee, acting
Secretary ofState, calling bis attention
to sections 1868 and 1864 OF the revised
statutes OF the United States which for
bids the prosecution in any State court
of foreign minister, and declares any
person obtaining or prosecuting a writ
for such & purpose violator of law sub
ject to fine and imprisonment After a
consultation with assistant Attorney
General Nash, acting Governor Guild
sent telegram to Judge Phelps asking
for the facts in connection with the ar
rest, and calling his attention to the
grave breach of international law in ar
resting Mr.. Quincy. The Governor in
bis dispatch says if the fine was imposed
and collected, the commonwealth will
apologize, and the fine must be RENTED.
Justice Phelps was seen this morning
and asked if he had decided upon a
course OF action in view of the cOmpli-
cations that had arisen as a result of his
imposition Of fines upon Secretary Cur
ney yesterday, be said: ~ have received
nothing official on the subject, but
will apologize if necessary"

Capt. Woods to Aid Prosecution.

The day following the McCue murder,
in Charlottesville, the police were work
ing on a clue said to have been based on
threat made by a man living in the
northern part OF the county to get even
with ex.Mayor McCue for some reason.
This man went to Charlottesville on a
late train Sunday night 10 explain to the
Commonwealth Attorney why he was
brought under suspicion, he having al
ready established an alibi.
Capt. Micajah Woods, Common
wealth's Attorney of Albemarle county,
decided yesterday at the solicitation Of
nearly thousand people to aid in the
prosecution. He receives no fee for his
labor and accepts solely at the instance
Of his fellow-citizens. He issued the
following card Yesterday afternoon
"In response 10 a petition signed by
nearly l, 900 citizens of the city of Char
louisville and the county of Albemarle,
and in Difference TO appeals made to me
personally by scores Of men and women
of the community, have decided to aid
Mr. Gilmer and Mr.. Kerr 10 the man
agement of the case of the Common
wealth VS.. McCue. No one would be
more delighted than to see the defend
ant in this case honorably relieved and
cleared of the terrible crime with which
he is charged, and | assume this respon
sibility with the sole purpose OF seeking
fearlessly for the truth, regardless Of the
personal inconvenience and sacrifice
which will result TO ME, and in spite of
the very disagreeable duties which will
devolve upon me-"
A Stanton special says: "Messrs.
Harmon and Lee, attorneys, of j. Samuel
McCue, charged with the murder of his
wife, have in the past few days been
spending considerable time at the West
ern State Hospital looking up the insan-
ity record of the family at that institu-
ton. Both of Mr.. McCue's parents, it
is said, we're patients at the hospital"

BIOGRAPHIES WEED REVISION.

Some things are fixed. The multi.

been revised since II was made, and
no education refOrmer however rad.
ical. proposes to amend it. But the
geography Of 1880 is not the geography
taught in school nor that which IL
studied In the office to-day. There
have been many changes In the polltl-
cal and physical divisions of the earth
in the past fourteen years. 1t has been
suggested in one city that the study of
Manchuria he postponed till the pres
ent unsettled state there Is cleared up.
If one began TO postpone study for
such reasons, ii would be difiiciit to de-
eide where 10 stop, for overnight the
latest and most accurate geographical
knowledge may become out of date,

republic of Panama was set up. Ton
year-old maps of Africa are out of

changes have taken place. Maps of

4 QUESTION or POPULATION.

London Is perpleXed over the unlIsu.
ally large number Of unemployed
found on her hands. Each year the
question comes up in London how to
care for the Idle and the hungry, but
this year the case Is serious and will
be met with more than ordinary diff
Guilty. Meanwhile France Is shown to
be on the way to race suicide; that Is.
the number Of births Is decreasing, al.
though the population little more
than holds its own because sanitary
conditions prevail more than formerly.
and the number Of deaths among chill
dren Is decidedly fewer. Desirable as
a good number Of births may be. It Is
far more important that those who
are born should be well born and with
an ability to secure a livelihood. In
France there Is not the extreme pow.
erty found in England. Paris is not
disturbed by the hOrdes Of unemployed
and needy that throng the streets Of
London. The French are by nature
more economical, more skillful In get.
ting a living and making both ends
meet than are the English. They can
make an attractive. palatable meal Of
what the Englishman would throw
away. They understand the art 6f
simple, inexpensive but wholesome liv-
ing. Where this is the case 1t becomes
question whether the situation In
England. SO far as number of births go,
is better than In France. 1t Is true the
