LONDON, July 6.-In an article on the
editorial page OF the Manchester Dis
patch, William T. Stead writes OF the
killing Of Stanford White by Harry
Thaw as follows:
stanford Whites death at the hands
of Harry Thaw opens up for discussion
some most fundamental principles OF
human nature. OF course, know moth
ing more about the case than / have
gathered from newspaper reports, and 1
would not care 70 discuss its merits
unless all the facts were before me.
There are undoubtedly times in a
mans life when he seems justified in
staying one OF his fellOw-beings. II is
civilized nations. that one man has a
right TO kin another who is concerned
in betraying his wife, Another case
where killing appears to be justified is
I'm such situations as Cure treated in
the classic affair Of Virginius. " lere
the law afforded nc redress; and again
We have the situation portrayed iI the
incident of Tarquin and Lucrece, all Of
which in the general opinion Of man
kind are justhable homicides.
''To bring the matter 10 more modern
times / might cite the case of the
Irish landlord who was killed by one Of
his tenants because Of his i'll treatment
OF their wives and daughters. Though
this was technically considered a case
Of clear murder. stm the general opin-
ion was that in killing this man the
earth was well rid Of a monster.

HOrsewhipping VS.. Assassination.

Ordinarily if a man persists in
nolestIng another mans wife, the lndg-
uant husband Is justified in administer
ing a thorough horse-whipping Whether
nta should resort to assassination in
a case of this kind depends largely upon
the intimate nature Of each particular
case. Life should be taken only where
Felf-preserYattOE Is involved. or in the
defense of helpless innocence, or IN the
face of such overwhelming prOvocatiOn
that there is no time for calm reelection.
In such events, the law considers
motive
"On the bare face of facts. Il looks
very much as If Thaw was carried away
by passionate instinct and tnat he dii
net consider his action IN all its bear
inga.
whatever White may have been. he
was entitled 10 be given the benefit OF
whatever doubt there could have been
in the matter. and II his life was TO be
taken. II should only have been done on
the sOundest possible evidence and then
only under such conditions as i have
outlined.
This affair VIII undoubtedly call the
attention OF the public TO the doiuRs OF
society men who prey on the lives OF
the innocent That there is need for
legislative interference in America

Quick Justice Desired.

Personally, 7 would be very glad to
see quick justice meted out 10 all men
who prey upon female virtue. They are
in a measure beyond the reach OF the
law i'm most cases and unless some fate
befaus them as 10 be suddenly killed by
another man. who feels he is Kidding
the earth of a moral leper, they go
absolutely uusCathed.
AT the same time when man under
takes 10 slay another he should be per
Iectly wiling in committing that act 10
lose his own life. Unless he feels that
iu killing another man. he is quite pre-
pared 10 lay down his own life for the
one he is sacrificing. then his motive Is
not an honorable one.
"In killing White. perhaps Thaw felt
le would be Kidding the world OF man
who well deserved TO be slain as White
was killed. Whether Thaw had any
such notion, or whether he had been
carried away by insane jealousy is not
q matter that IN the present phase Of
the case could be adJudged correctly.

Governments Contention in the New

NEW YORK. October 16.-When the hear
ing was resumed today in the case against
the New York Central and Hudson River
Railroad Company and Frederick Pomeroy.
Its traffic manager. on charges Of granting
rebates to the American Sugar Refining
Company. United States District Attorney
Stinson outlined the prosecutions case
He said that the government will show
that on April e. 1904. Lowell M. Palmer,
acting for the shippers and especially for
the firm Of George H. Edgar OF Detroit, en-
tered into an agreement with the New York
Central and Mr.. Pomeroy by which sugar
could be hauled to Detroit at the rate OF
Is cents a hundredweight. instead Of the
rate of % cents filed with the Interstate
commerce commission.
The agreement, said Mr.. Stimson. was
that the sugar company should pay the
regular rate OF q cents and that later the
difference of cents per 100 pounds should
be returned to 1t. Mr.. Stimson charged that
Is, 373, TIT pounds Of sugar had been shipped
on these trains and that rebate payments
had been made on this account.
Mr.. Stimson said that he wished It dis
tinctly understood that all the alleged vio-
lations took place in or prior to 1904, so
that the prosecution is not undertaken I'M
der the new railroad rebate law. He de-
clared that the government would. show
that since Apr. u. 1903 the railroad had
given back $26, 141 in rebates to the sugar
trust In discrimination against smaller
shippers.
George Roberts, assistant auditor of the
interstate commerce commission, was the
first witness called by Mr.. Simson to prove
the tariffs filed by the New York Central
with the commission.

TOO THRILLING TO NOTICE.
Refusal Of Newfoundland to- Pas!
Supplies for the Potomac.

Refusal Of Newfoundland to, Pass
Supplies for the Potomac
"a mere pin prick" is the manner in
which an official here characterized the re-
fusal of the Newfoundland authorities to
admit duty free supplies for the United
States naval tug Potomac, now at the Bay
of Islands OF course that remark was
based upon the belief that the Newfound-
landers had resorted to that form Of resent
ment for the conclusion Of the fisheries
modus vivendi against their will -.
Consequently. there is no disposition or
intention on the part Of this government to
dignity the incident by official notice. The
duties will be paid on such stores as the
Potomac receives during her winter sojOurn
In Newfoundland waters: for, after all, the
remission of these duties is only a matter
Of courtesy and not of right. in the case
of United States naval vessels. contrary to
the position of French ships which have a
special treaty arrangement admitting free
of duty naval stores intended for the
French station at Miquelon.
Meanwhile Prof Alexander. the fish COM
mission expert on the Potomac. will con-
tinue to warn American fishermen in New
foundland waters against attractions of the
local law and to study the fishery question
practically with the purpose of aiding his
government in the conclusion of definitive

ISSUE TAKEN WITH WOOD.
Cost Of Making Uniforms in the Phil
ippines Discussed.


The quartermaster's department is dis
posed to take issue with Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood commanding the Philippine division,
as to the economy Of using English khaki,
made up in the Philippines, for soldiers
uniforms. instead Of the regular army
clothing manufactured in this country Of
American khaki. The officers OF that de-
partment insist that our own khaki Is in
fact superior to the English khaki and
they point to exhaustive tests made under
service conditions to show that not only is
stronger than the British khaki, but that
the inspectors reports show very clearly
that there Is greater lack of uniformity
in the coloring OF the English khaki, that
gives the troops very ,unmilitary appear
ance.
Touching the advisabiiity Of having the
uniforms made In the Philippines instead
Of here. these officers say that Gen. Wood
figures, which appear to show q consider
able saving in cost, are erroneous. because
based on the theory that the large supply
of uniforms required for the army In the
Philippines numbering now 1871 men,
can be regularly procured on the basis of
by a Chinese tailor for a very few persons.
An attempt to place a large number Of
orders for such clothing, even if it was as
well made as the uniforms made in the
arsenals in the clothing depots in this coun-
try, according to the officials here, would
certainly result In an immediate large in
crease in the price demanded by the tailors
for making up the goods. They take the
position that to insure regular supply it
would be necessary to establish a clothing
factory in Manila, which would involve q
large expenditure of money.

SEAL POACHERS' RAID
NO DOUBT THE ST. PAUL FIGHT
WAS PREMEDITATED.

VICTORIA, B. c., October 16-Clear evil
dence 10 forthcoming by advices received
yesterday by the steamer Empress Of Japan
that the raid on st. Paul island by Japanese
sealers was premeditated, and the state
ment that the Japanese landed for water
and were treacherously fired upon by the
Americans as reported to the Japanese gov
eminent by directors OF the raiding schoon-
or Is shown to be untrue.
Hunters Of the raiding schooner Toye No.
3. which appeared on st. Paul island two
days before the raid. went to the captain
with the ultimatum that unless he per-
mitted them to 60 ashore and club seals on
the rookery they would refuse to work and
compel him to return. The master agreed.
Further discussion took place as to the
division of the prospective spoils. and
knives were drawn. About midnight boats
were lowered with oarlocks muffied and
sent In. the vessel being but q mile from
the rookery in the fog -Four other boats
followed, and in two hours 1872 seals had
been slaughtered and brought on board the
schooner. Had the sealers been satisfied
they could have escaped, but another raid
was decided upon. the boats going in the
second time at am. At 8 o'clock the fog
lifted and those on board the schooner
sighted the guard coming.
Warning shots were fired. but the raiders
were too busy skinning seals to notice. and
only when the guards came close did they
sight the natives. Then they succeeded In
getting only ono boat out, in which four
men sought to get to the vessel One
Mazda. seaman, was shot through the
breast and two others were wounded. The
body OF the dead man was taken in salt
to Japan and landed without the knowledge
Of the authorities.
