PARKER THE OPPOSITE
OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
williams Indicates That the Tariff
Is an Important Issue.


Is an Important Issue.
New York, April 16.-At the annual
dinner of the Reform Club, held here
tonight at the Manhattan Hotel, Ed
ward M. Shepard, speaking of Judge
Parker said:
He represents the very opposite of
restless, impatient, reckless contempt
for constitutional Iaw-abiding gov
ernment and for those respectful and
righteous relations with the rest of the
world which belong to our best tradi-
tions. That is to say, he represents
the very opposite of the conduct and
policy of the gallant Republican now
dwelling in the White House."
A letter from John Sharp Williams,
minority leader in the national House
of Representatives, was read, in
which. referring principally to the inn
portance of tariff reform, he said:
I'm my opinion not all the peace
societies Of the world are as conducive
to the prevention of war as amicable
trade relations, buying and selling,
both at a profit.
II may add that so far as the Dem
ocratic representatives in the House
are concerned, they have never been
as unitedly bent upon a conservative
and common sense revision of extor-
tionate and unjust tariff schedules as
they are at this moment"

husband, when she learned whittier he
had gone, and when she met him in
company with Mrs. Rebrach, without
a word she drew revolver and fired
at her husband, aiming low. The bull
let lodged in Beningers leg.
While he was begging his wife not
to shoot again, Mrs. Rebrach started
to flee down the street. Mrs. Beninger
turned on her and fired. The woman
fell to the ground without a moan, and
was dead within fifteen minutes. The
bullet entered the back of her head,
near the ear. The tragedy was witness

,og cablegram, dated Toxic, April 16:
Admiral Togo reports that the COM
bined feet, as previously planned, COM
roenced on April II the eighth attack
on Port Arthur. The fourth and fifth
DESTROYER flotillas and the fourteenth
torpedo fotilla and the Koryomaru
reached the mouth of Port Arthur at
midnight of the 18th and effected the
LAYING of mines at several points out
side the port, defying the enemy's
searchlights.
The second destroyer flotilla discov-
cred at dawn of the 18th one Russian
destroyer trying to enter the harbor,
and after ten minutes attack sank
her.
Another Russian destroyer was dis
covered coming from the direction of
Lao Tishan and was attacked, but she
managed to flee into the harbor.
Two slightly Wounded.
"On our side no casualties, except
Two SedIleIl Oh Tie AhoAUSN'' sA4SA-S
wounded.
There was no time to rescue the
enemys drowned crews, as the Bayan
approached.
The third fleet reached outside of
Port Arthur at a. M, when the
Bayan came out and opened fire. I'M
medately afterward, the Novik, AS
kold, Diana, Petropavlovsk, Pobieda
and Poltava came out and made an
offensive attack. Our third fleet, hard
ly answering and gradually, retiring,
enticed the enemy fifteen miles south
east of the port, when our first fleet,

ed before the enemy and attacked
them.
Struck Japanese Mines.
While the enemy was trying to re-
gain the port a battleship Of the
Petropavlovsk type struck mines laid
by us the previous evening and sank
at 1922 a. m. Although the ship was
observed to have lost freedom of
'HoN oNSlllSIJ, the CONFUSION Ol the eIlS-
my's ships prevented us from identi-
Tying her. They finally managed to
regain the port.
Our third fleet suffered no damage,
and the enemy's damage, beside above
mentioned, probably slight also. Our
first fleet did not reach firing lis
tance.
Our fleets at l p. m. prepared for
another attack. They re-sailed April

notllias and the ninth torpedo flotilla

WAS QUESTION OF COLOR.
Judge Decided That n Woman Had
Negro Blood in Her Veins.

Negro Blood in Her Veins.
Columbus, Ga, April 16.-In deciding
the garnishment case of Josie King
against Emma Morris, involving $500
insurance money, Justice Eugene Ray
to-day rendered a judicial opinion as
to the color of Annie Morris, an aged
woman of this city.
Many years ago in Montgomery, Ala,
John Morris, a negro, married Annie
Morris. Josie Morris, now Josie King,
Is a child of the union. Twelve years
ago they separated and Morris mar
ried Emma Morris. from whom he
afterwards separated.
Morris died recently, leaving $500 in
surance in the knights of Pythias
(colored.) Emma Morris collected the
insurance by securing a lapsed policy,
erasing the name on it and substitut-
ing therefor John Morris. She depos-
tied the money in bank, and Josie
King garnished It., claiming $100 OF
the sum,
The defense claimed that Annie Nor
ris is white woman, and that Nor
ris' marriage to her waS therefore IL
legal, and Josie King was an illegiti-
mate child. The plaintiff claimed that
Annie Morris Is a negro that the first
hial 4iaSV was AV6"i' am LiieN1 'iiS 90
ond marriage was Illegal, as no di-
vorce from the first wife had been OBJ
tained.
Annie Morris stated that she did
not know whether she was white or
colored. She said that she was reared
by q white woman, who said she was
her mother, but that she had spent
her life among negroes. She looks like
a white person. Judge Ray decided
she had negro blood in her veins and
decided the case in favor of her daugh-
ter, Josie King. The case will be ap
pealed.
