NO NEARER HIS PAY
CRUM AGAIN FAILS OF NoMINA
 TON.
Status of the NsS-o Unchanged De- spite the Insistance q Roosevelt That the Senate Act Upon
 the Nomination.

Washington, April 27.-The homina- tion of W. D. Crum to be Collector of the Port of Charleston, s. C.. was con sidered today in an executive session of the Senate lasting from 4:35 to 9:15 p. m. A failure to confirm the ap- pointment resulted. At the conclusion of arguments, by Senators Gnilinger, Spooner. Hale and Aldrich for confirma- tion and Senators Daniel. Latimer. Cor man and Clay against confirmation. Senator Cockreil suggested the Senate proceed to the Legislative business and the suggestion was adopted
 After the doors were closed, Senator Gallinger. who had charge of the nom- ination. called attention to the several times the nomination had been sent to the Senate and the long period 1t had been prevented from coming to vote. Senator Latimer and Senator German discussed the question of Senatorial courtesy, saying Senator Tillman, who
 is opposed to the nomination. is now i'll at his home in Charleston and un- able to be present. Senator Spooner
 then contended that the Republican
 party should not be asked to surren-
 der it's convictions as to the rights of
 man. that the negro is held to be d citizen and as such is entitled to par
 ticipate in the Government. He said
 the negro had been a good citizen, had not been lacking in soldiery or in any
 form of defence of the country, and that it Is asking too much of the Re- publican party 10 put 1t in the posi- tion of abandoning the policy of civil liberty, which. he said, was the chief significance and the foundation of the party.
 In reply. Senator Daniel declared that l the appointments of negroes to higl | political offices such as that to whicf | Crums had been named, sets the ract | dreaming of things inconsistent with the position of negroes in society ant | infiicts more harm than good on botf | races He said such appointments | tend to make the negro arrogant ant | offensive in bearing and infiame th' race prejudice in the South and at al places where the negroes reside II | great numbers.

FOR MuRDER1Na DAUGHTER.
Mrs. Henrietta Dewitt Arraigned at
 Binphampton. N. Y

Henrietta Dewitt was arrested today at Sydney, charged with causing the death of her 17-year-old daughter, Florence Macintosh by poisoning.
 Until today Mrs. Dewitt had always called the girl her stepdaughter. Today she admitted Florence was her own child.
 The evidence before the coroner's jury roiated strongly towards the mother having caused the death to obtain the life insurance. Mrs Dewitt when ar- raigned, was apparently the most uncon- cerned rerson in the room, taking her seat carelessly and picking up a paper to read about her case.

In both the senate and house.

county commissioners would be
invited to attend that meeting.
Also that Mr.. Pau1k, our repre-

It is unnecessary to state that
we are laboring under serious
disadvantages as to roads in the
colony domain. The facts are
clear to all concerned, and it is
of the highest Importance that
we should be relieved from the
embarrassing situation which
now confronts us.
I am informed that some Of
the roads laid out on the colony
plat of land are being closed with
impunity, and the people thereby
cut off from the privileges nee
essary to their we'll being, have
no redress in law. There is dam
ger in such cases that the suffer-
ers will seek redress in some re-
taliatory manner, to the disturb
ance of the peace and prosperity
of the communities involved.
Hence the great Importance of
at once having all these roads

A Sad Death.

Mrs. Mary Brady, wife of
Jas. Brady died at her home
about III miles northwest of
the cityat O'clock lastnight from
a stroke of apoplexly, superinduc-
ed by over heat and exercise.
Mrs. Brady, who was about
IS years old and was quite stout.
She started from her home
about 3 o'clock with bundle in
tended for her daughter, who
was to leave on the 4 O'Clock A. &
B. train for Townsville. The
weather was real warm and no
doubt she exerted herself too
N uch IN an effort to walk to
town. She fell on the road, face
downward where she was fonnd
by Mrs. Sydney Clare about 5
O'Clock. Mrs. Clare summoned
help and assisted by Mr.. DIETRICH
and others the dying woman was
taken to her home where she
died about 9 o'clock without ever
regaining consciousness. She
will be buried this afternoon at
the cemetary 3 or 4 mile north
west of the city.
Mr.. Brady is not only a poor
man, but a cripple, and it became
necessary for him to give a
mortgage OF the little home, all
the property he owns, for the
funeral expenses.
Any contributions from the
benevolently enclined will be
highly appreciated by the family
and the friends of the dead wo-
man. We will receive and re-
ceipt for the same at this Office.

BOUNDARY MARKING.
Appropriation Made, but Work Will
Not Be Pushed at Present.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE admin
istrations wishes to do nothing that
would further exasperate the Cana
dams on account of the Alaska boun-
Diary decision, and for that reason steps
looking to the definite marking of the
new boundary line may be deferred
until next year. The urgent deficiency
bill, as passed by the house and senate,
contains an appropriation Of 800, 900
to pay the expense of making the nec-
essary survey and erecting the neces-
sary monuments. 1t was expected that
the administration would ask for this
appropriation, and there was no oppO-
sition in congress.
The government will not hasten
matters, however for it feels that a
substantial victory was won at London
and it is not disposed to push the
actual marking of the line on the heels
of this victory. A few weeks ago it
was given out that early steps would
be taken to secure the appointment of
a joint American and Canadian survey
party to mark the line as described by
the deciison of the London tribunal
Ex-Secretary of War Root, who was a
member of the tribunal, said the other
day, however, that he believed nothing
would be done before 1905. He added
that the matter was now in the hands
of the state department, and that he
had had no recent conference on the
subject, but it was his opinion there
was no occasion for haste
