son SHOOTS FATHER AFTER
FIGHT OVER STEPMOTHER
Young Wife of Aged Farmer Attracts
Attention of Stepson and Shoot
ing Follows.

GALVESTON. Texas, June 2l.-On a
farm near Sonora, in little County,
Frank Ambrose shot and killed his
father, in a quarrel over the young
wife Of the father James Ambrose, and
the sons stepmother.
Ambrose, who is nearly so years OF
age. married z young woman OF %
about eight months ago. He brought
his new wife home and was not long
IN discovering that his son. who~is 26
years of age, became very attentive to
her. For time the young wife ap-
peared TO accept the attentions, but
the aged father stOrmed with her and
his son and il is claimed that the
couple. in a fit Of temper, confessed
their love for each other.
In this unhappy state they lived for
several months until last Saturday the
couple left home in the night and
started for Sonora, intending TO take
q train for Colorado. The father with
a party Of friends pursued the elop-
ers and overlook them, the old man
attempting 10 kill the son. who es-
capped. The truant wife was returned
home and placed under watch This
morning the son returned TO the home
in the absence Of the father and was
planning another elOpment when the
old man returned and the tragedy was
enacted Both men drew guns and
both fired. The son escaped unhurt
and the father was shot in the abdo-
men and died in three hours.

DIVORCE WORSE
THAN POLYCAMY
So States Anglican Bishop
of Honolulu at Meeting
of Social Science Club

HONOLULU, June 15.-Bishop Res
tarick of the Anglican church believes
there is less harm in Mormon polyg-
amy than arises through the divorce
laws of the States. In a paper read
before the Social Science Club here,
after instancing the case of a man who
has secured three divorces within a
very few years and had been married
a fourth time, the Bishop said:
This man, and there are thousands
like him. was enabled under law to
wreck life after life because he could
be freed from the bond of marriage
more easily than he could be freed
from the most trivial business con-
tract, and he is permitted to marry
as often as he pleases and so to be
what may be called u consecutive
polygamist.'
There is a great cry now being
made against a Senator because he be-
longs to a sect which believes in
polygamy, as there was a short time
ago about preventing d polygamous
Congressman from taking his seat. 1
deliberately believe that Mormon
polygamy is less debasing to the in
dividual and less harmful to society
than the kind of polygamy practiced
by thousands in many or our States.
The polygamist husband supports his
wives and children, the consecutive
polygamist divorces wife after wife as
the fancy takes him, and leaves the
deserted ones to support themselves
and their children, or leaves them to
become a charge upon the public, his
children often becoming inmates OF
cthldren'S homes"

CORRESPONDENTS PROTEST.
/ Newspaper Men Complain of Japanese
Censorship of Dispatches.

GENERAL KUROKrS HEAD
QUARTERS IN THE FIELD, June 21,
8 D. m.-There has been much dissatis-
faction among newspaper correspond
ents over their status with the Japan
csc army, resulting in several protests
to the staff. Finally a written state
ment of their grievances was presented
by the entire body of correspondents
here.
The statement complains of the CEN
sorship of kilograms at Seoul and at
Nagasaki which the headquarters CEN
sor had already approved.
1t also complains of the strict en-
forcement of the rules framed by the
general staff at Toxic, which prevents
correspondents in the field from send
ing details of what Toxic correspond
ents are often permitted to describe.
The statement further requests that
some freedom be granted correspond
ents in the matter Of moving about and
observing the army and its operations
Lieutenant Albert S. Fuger, an
American artillery officer, who was
travelling on leave, attempted to visit
the headquarters of the japanese army
for the purpose of observation. Not
having his credentials with him, he
was escorted back to Antung from a
halfway station.

Fashion in Crime.

1t would appear from the report for
last year of the Prison Commissioners
for Scotland that drunkenness in that
country is yielding before the superior
attractions of burglary. From 1902 to
1903 the commitments for trifling delin-
quencies fell from 55,120 to 1886,
whereas those for serious offenses
rose from 1O,601 to II, ,12O Certain pre-
sumptuous persons have hazarded the
theory that the high proportion of Of
tenders, which, in the northern king
dom, declined to avail itself of the "op-
tion" had relation to natural charac-
teristics, il 1t was not, indeed, due to
the fact that the Scotchman, much as
he disliked going to prison, disliked
parting with his money more. The
commissioners now point out that in
Ireland more than half the fines i'm
posed are less than shillings, which
probably accounts for 81 per cent of
them being paid In Scotland, on the
other hand, where only As per cent were
paid, more than half are of 10 shiIlings
and upward.-Lopdon Telegraph.

gayety, quite out of comparison with
the stories of distress that had reached
Chefu through Japanese sources. There
seemed TO be an abundance of supplies
and fresh supplies were coming in from
Chinese sources. The Japanese block
ade has not been effective. The harbor
entrance has been freed of obstruc-
tions, the battleships have been re-
paired and the fortifications are con-
stantly being made stronger. The gar
rison is larger than outside informa-
ton had led me to suppose. The troops
are in excellent condition and the gem
eral health conditions of the city are
good. There seemed to be no appre-
hension that the city was likely soon to
fall.
In the same prison with me were
confined 100 japanese who had been
captured from the blockading expedi-
ton. Several of these had become in
sane.
''On the night of June 1S the Japan
ese made another attack on Port Ar
thur, both by land and by sea. 1 saw
distinctly the firing from my cell win
dow. When the affair was over the

their quarters, reporting that the en-
emy had been easily repulsed."
