FOUND A SKELETON,

SEATTLE. July 12.-Covered with
but a few inches of earth, the skeleton
of anunknOWn man was found near w.
A. Estes mill, on the old Renton car
| line. Workmen who We're digging a
short distance from the mill made the
discovery.
After they had examined the bones
Coroner Hoye was notified He will
| make a thorough investigation of the
! case.
Every indication points to murder
Coroner HOye does not believe that a
man who died a natural death would
have been buried as was the body of
the man whose skeleton was found.
The men who made the discovery
stated that they believed the man must
have been dead more than a year
bones and the clothing had almost en-
tirely disappeared. A hurried exam
nation did not reveal any marks of
violence, but the coroner expects that
when he makes careful examination
of the body he will find that the man
had been murdered
SO far as is known there is no one
who disappeared from the vicinity
where the body was found. There are
few residences Whereabouts. and the
disa appearance of a man would have
been known to anyone living in the
neighborhood. The remains We're left
near the shallow grave.

SPOKANE IS THE CENTER
NEARLY ONE APPENDICITIS
OPERATION A DAY CARRIED
ON IN THAT CITY.
NH CT the Business of the PhysIc-
ians Comes From Out of
Town Patients.

Performing operations for appen-
dfcitis is rapidly becoming one of the
leading Industries Of Spokane, says
the Spokesman Review. During the
mast six months not less than 125 such
operations have been performed in the
hospitals in this city. That is nearly
one operation a day. Naturally enough
statistics of the operations performed
in private homes are not procuraDle,
and it is likewise impossible to ascer-
tain what percentage of the cases oper-
ated upon have resulted in saving the
life of the patient.
Surgeons performing appendicitis
operations have come to make a very
marked distinction between a success
full opera ton and an operation which
saves the life of the patient. sue

ANOTHER GREAT FIRE.

PaonIe who have noticed that disasters OF
certain class often occur in groups Of three
will be impressed with the fact that the recent
vfsjtations from which Chicago and Baltimore
suffered have been promptly followed by fire
in Rochester. There was no loss Of life yester-
day. The buildings destroyed were in the busi-
ness district, but they had few occupants, be-
cause the mischief began before dawn. The
damage to property is estimated at S4OOO-OOO or
S5.OOO,OO0, or less than twentieth of that In
Baltimore. Even this amount is formidable,
however, and is about the same as Patersons
loss two winters ago.
The fire started on the north side OF East
Main-st. near the middle Of the block, extending
from St Paul-st to Clinton-ave. 1t spread only
short distance TO the eastward, but worked its
way westward TO st. Paul-St., on the corner OF
which was an immense structure known as the
Granite Building The main floor was occu-
pied as a department store, and the upper ones
were devoted to offices for business men. A
wise concentration OF the efforts Of the firemen
prevented the flames from getting across st.
Paul-st The work of destruction was also car
ried northward from the spot where IT began,
passing the alley which is dlgnifed by the name
Of Dlyision-st and reaching the block beyond.
In this quarter, as well as to the westward. It
was brought under control, after a desperate
fight OF seven hours.
In Rochester, in many other places within
the last few weeks much embarrassment has
resulted from the cold weather. A few hydrants
were frozen. Ice formed about the hose and
engines after water was obtained and seri-
ously impeded operations. second hinderance
was q scarcity of hose. On the other hand,
there was an almost dead calm. Had such
wind prevailed on Friday morning as was re-
ported In Rochester twenty-four hours earlier
developing veocitieS Of twenty-five or thirty
miles an hour-a large part OF the city might
have gone. Even as. it was. the arrival OF rein
forcements from Buffalo and Syracuse probably
turned the scale, though the battle was nearly
won before they came Rochester is to be con-
graduated upon the fact that she suffered no
worse than she did.
One of the immediate effects OF a fire in the
business portion OF large city. and particular
" in the shopping district, is that II throws a
considerable number OF people out Of work.
Upward Of two thousand persons have thus
been afflicted in Rochester. Weeks may elapse
before any considerable proportion OF them find
fresh employment Public sympathy should be
broadened sufficiently TO include these victims
as well as the merchants and other tenants OF
the ruined buildings. the owners OF the latter
and the insurance companies which will sustain
n large part OF the loss.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1904-02-27

lieve that the court has attempted TO saddle
such a Job upon the United States and 10 set
so extraordinary precedent as TO make one or
a number OF claimants the guarantor and col
lector Of the claims OF the others. We under
stand that the costs of the tribunal. the court
fees rs IL were, are 10 be apportOned among the
various parties TO the suit and are TO be paid by
them within three months. II is conceivable
that the United States government has been re-
quested by the court TO look after that little
more than clerical detail, and it may be that
such a duty viii be accepted and performed.
But there is a world OF difference between that
and the odious task Of an international sheriff.
On the whole, therefore, we are inclined TO
possess our souls in some degree OF tranquility.
The Hagues verdict may not be altogether 10
our liking and il may suggest some modifica-
tons Of American policy in future; but it has
not abroCated the Monroe Doctrine nor do we
think Il has involved the United States in any
disastrous complications.

THE PARK SCHOOL SCHEME.

The bill permitting space in the small parks
TO be appropriated for temporary school build
ings has passed the Senate, we are sorry 20
say, without much difficulty. In the Assembly
a sitter opposition is expected and ought to
be assured. The charge is heard that Tam
many is planning by means Of this scheme TO
cut down expenditures for the schools and
then claim credit for an economical budget 1t
may be unjust 10 make such an accusation,
and in any case IL is unnecessary TO do so in
order to find reasons for opposing the bill.
Though hardly any children are now entirely
excluded from the schools. a considerable num-
Der are IN part time classes, but they are the
youngest pupils and the deprivation is not so
serious as It is often said to be- 1t is of course,
TO be regretted that Tammany's long neglect
resulted in a deficiency Of sittings which the
Low administration could not make up but
false step now would not atone for that fault
and ought not 20 be authorized
1t is quite proper TO adopt temporary e1pe-
dents for supplying the lack OF school sittings,
but the parks are not suitable sites for school
buildings, and the emergency is not such as TO
Justify their occupation for that purpose. They
render an indispensable service as they are,
and no part Of them ought TO be diverted TO
other uses. That objection would hold II they
were peculiarly adapted TO meet the immediate
requirements Of the schools, but such Is not the
case. Moreover. If they were taken. they would
not soon be left The natural effect Of the
scheme would be 10 retard instead Of Fastening
the construction OF permanent school buildings
where they are needed No doubt there are
some obstacles in the way OF converting to
school uses buildings or parts Of buildings not
designed for that purpose. Perhaps legislation
IS desirable: but, II so, II would be wiser 20 adj
vocate the passage Of a bin modifying the pres
ent regulations within safe limits than TO seek
permission TO invade the parks.
We doubt If even the financial argument is
sound Park sites would cost nothing, but
sanitary and reasonably convenient buildings
Of inoffensive appearance would cost good
deal-considerably more, in all probability, than
the estimates-and when they had been aban-
doned they would be practically worthless. We
90 not believe that thorough search for quar-
tiers which could be rented for a fair price and
inexpensively equipped for school purposes
would be a waste OF time

NO THTERYATIoNAL SHERrFF.

The impression seems to have got abroad, and
Go be causing some mental disquiet that the
United States is henceforth TO play the part OF
en- international sheriff in South America in
collecting the claims Of European powers
against our nelghbors In that continent. IL that
impression were well founded, IL might well
cause concern. We can imagine the playing of
such a part TO be not only unwelcome TO this
country. but repugnant TO Il. II not absolutely
sntolerable. But, so FAR as all current informa-
ton extends we are unable 10 discern any con-
rincing foundation for such apprehensions. and
IN the absence OF positive proof we are unwiIl-
ing 20 believe that any such part has seriously
been assigned 10 this country.
The impression seems TO have been created
partly by some legend concerning the ante-arbi-
tration negotiations OF more than a year ago
and partly from some Interpretation OF reports
concerning the award made by the arbitral
tribunal az The Hague. Concerning the former,
we must positively decline TO believe that the
United States government, either formally or
informally. made any agreement 10 guarantee
Nenczuela's payment OF the claims against her.
That would have been an extraordinary thing
FOR the United States to DO. seeing that It was
one OF the claimants against Venezuela. Our
recollection Is quite clear that the mere sugges-
fration was regarded with positive disfaror st
Washington. No doubt the United States was
DESTROYS that Great Britain, Germany and Italy
should submit their claims against Venezuela
30 arbitration. as IL was willing 70 submit its
own. But that II ia any way gave ground for
expectation that II would guarantee Venezuela's
compliance with the arbitral decision is not for
q moment 10 be credited Our impression is that
our government not only refrained from giving
such pledge, but positively made II known that
II would do no such thing.
Upon the second point we may not speak with
90 much confidence, since we have not vet be-
fore us a certified official copy of the decision
Just rendered at The Hague. Considering the
Character OF the obiter dicta uttered by the
president Of that court in reference 20 the
Russo-Japanese War. VIC shall be prepared "a
fnd in that decision some unusual expressions
But we ccrtalnly do not expect TO find in IL any
such amazing order that which some are
reading into - We are pretty familiar viii
the international agreement under which tina,
court Was established. and we can recall no pro
vision OF II which empowers the court 10 inn
pose the task OF an International sheriff upor
any country. whether not party TO n caus,
before II. Until we have some far stronger evi
eence than any yet before us. we shall not be
