Murder On Franklin Street.

In the quiet morning hours murder
was committed on Franklin street to-
day. Murder premeditated and or
dered by the Mayor. The victim has
been proclaimed a public nuisance,
and for this had to pay his life as the
forfeit. A preacher was also mixed
mp in the crime, for it was at bis in
stigation and appeal TO the Mayor
that the deed was committed. About
9 O'Clock Chief Of Police Hahn and
Officer Jacobs, armed with loaded
reviewers, proceeded to No. IS Frank
lin street, and in the back yard COM
mitted the deed, firing five shots into
their victim before lac gave mp the
ghost. . He belonged TO the family
Of one Scott, colored. barkeeper for
Albert Adams, and the dead brute had
made himself a public nuisance by
swapping at people in the neighbor-
hood and people passing, so much so
that the Rev. Matthew Travers of No.
80 Franklin street had indited letter
to the Mayor, urging that the animal
be killed, and the Mayor ordered this
be done. The consequence was the
murder was committed and the officers
shot and killed a member of Scott's
family-the dog.

For Instruction In Ordnance.

II is probable several monitors will
be ordered TO the Naval Academy dur
ing the autumn TO allow members of
the advanced classes at the Academy
to be instructed in ordnance aboard
them Two of the large monitors are
expected to be ordered here this fall
from the coast squadron. The ques-
tion of the proper training of officers
of the navy in ordnance subjects is
admittedly one of the most important
questions now before the Navy Depart
ment. Recently a plan was adopted
which contemplates the assignment
for permanent ordnance duty of four
lieutenants, four ensigns and four mid
shipmen. 1t is intended. however,
that no midshipmen shall leave the
Academy who has not good ground
work in ordnance knowledge, and
with this end in view Rear Admiral
Converse, chief of the Bureau Of Nav
igation, proposes TO have two of the
large monitors assigned to the Naval
Academy for the fall for the use Of
the first classmen here.

Will PIacate Panama.

Washington. D. c.. Aug. 22,-WiL
liam H. Taft. secretary of war yester-
day stated that the United States had
no intention of detrimentally affect
ing trade In Panama by the creation
of the new port of Ancon in the Pan
anna canal zone.
His attention had been called to re-
ports in the Herald and Republican
that the Panamaians were dissatis
fed with the administration of Gus
toms as ordered by General Davis. the
governor of the canal zone, and by Off
cial references to the zone as pur-
chased property. Mr.. Taft said, in
part;
THE United States has no intention
of injuring the trade of Panama by
the creation Of the port of Ancon. We
merely desired to have a port of en-
try for such materials and supplies as
we required in the construction of the
canal Nothing can be imported into
Ancon and thence into Panama with
out payment of duties to Panama.
"It is evident that many merchants
in Panama feel that they will be in
jured, while, as a matter of fact, we
are going to do that country an i'm
mense amount of good, and l believe
that as soon as General Davis. who
will soon return to Panama. Minister
Barnett and representatives of the
Panama government get together.
there will be no cause of complaint

MONT PELEE TODAY.
Site of the City Covered by Scared
Masses Of Lava,

In conversation with Montreal Star
repres Colin Mckay, who has
just returned from the West Indies,
spoke of visit paid to the scene of the
volcanic horror OF Martinique.
Where the city of ST. Pierre once
flourished," he said. there is thick
bed of lava. which is already assuming
the appearance of a vast gray granite
rock. About nine years ago passed
close by st. Pierre in the evening and
saw its white roofs its towers and Gu
polas cleaning between the fronded
crests and 1.-THE gray trunks of the
royal palms, and heard the crash OF
bands in its squares. and the tinkling
of mandolins upon the French ships
lying in the roadstead. But now the mass
of lava covers completely the gay Paris
of the Antilles with all its life and
color and music gone, as though it
were buried under massive mauso-
leum of granite. There are no ruins
nothing at all to indicate that city OF
25 1000 people had once fourished there.
Before you rises the gaunt and
colossal cone of Mont Pelee, with Its
awful head yelled in lazy and pestifer-
GUS vapors, its SCARED, lava-streaked
slopes rent with gigantic assures and
wild gorges, and at its base piled up in
primeval confusion masses of the
bown-out crest and sides. The i'm
preston which the sight of Mont Pelee.
brooding in its uncleanly clouds OF
smoke above its hideous and awful
works, makes upon you is difficult to
define. You are awed, but hardly hor-
rified. In the presence of such evi-
dence of natures forces you are SO i'm
pressed with the grandeur and majesty
of her efforts that you do not think OF
the blotting out of such an insigniti-
cant thing as a city of men and their
works.
ITO the southwark where the suburbs
of the city stretched over level plain,
the earth washed down from the noun
tain sides by the rains has formed a
soil in which grass and trees are begin
ming to grow in patches. In a few
years, no doubt, the tomb of the city
will be covered with the vegetation OF
the tropics, and the now giant and
SCARED sides of Pelee covered with for
ests of green. All the rest of the is
land has emerged from its covering OF
ashes in new beauty and greater lux
uriance"
