CONSTITUTION A FETTER.
London Spectator Points out British
View of Conditions Here.

London, Dec. 22.-The question Of States
rights in the United States is occupying
prominent attention. of European publicists.
especially in connection with the San
Francisco school incident. II is natural.
perhaps, that European observers should
regard the present form of the American
Constitution as an anachronism in this
respect. The Spectator in a long leader
to-day, gives US much advice. Under the
heading, The Coming Struggle in the
United States" il says:
THE incident Is the beginning of the
struggle of a nation entering into self
conscious life to free itself from the fet-
tiers Of particularism, which a Constitu-
ton more than a century old has riveted
upon it. Splendid instrument of govern
ment as is the United States Constitution
from many points of view, it has certain
very serious dement's. 1t was framed 10
provide safeguards against dangers which
long since disappeared, and TO encourage
certain forces which to-day are more in
need Of control The States are given
wide autonomy; the nation is checked on
every hand by ultra-vires provisions
The Spectator recognizes the difficulty
and probable impossibility of carrying
through three-fourths Of the legislatures
all the amendments which the needs of
modern times have made imperative, but
argues that it should be feasible to pass
general amendment making amend
ments more easy.

DETECTIVE MURDERS WOMAN
Assigned to Unravel the Mystery,
He Ends His Own Life.
First Shows His SuperfOrs How the
Crime Was Committed and
Then COnfesseS.

Rome, Dec 22.-The detective instinct
triumphed to-day over a mans love of
life, and incidentally the Italian police
force lost one Of its most promising young
detectives.
A few months ago the body of young
peasant girl, Domenica Vincetti, was
found terribly mutilated near the cottage
in which she lived with her parents, in
the village of Viggiano.
The case was given TO Giovanni Cantiri.
a young detective who had already dis
tinguished himself by unraveling several
intricate crimes, and he devoted himself
to it. Yesterday he entered the police
Office at ViggianO and informed his su-
periOrs that BE had found the murderer.
He proceeded to recOnstitute the crime.
and explained how the murderer had met
the girl behind a hut in the field and de-
manded that she marry him. The girl
refused and ran away and the man pur-
sued her and struck her on the head with
a stick.
Cantin then described how the man
buried the bIood-stained stick aud how he
had found it. He also produced blood
stained coat. which he said the murderer
had worn. He pointed out finger marks
on the stick, and then. pressing his fin
gers on some wax pointed out that the
prints were Identical with those or the
instrument with which the girl was killed
He put on the coat. which lifted him per-
fectly. and then declared: L killed Do
menica Vincetu because she refused TO
marry me"
Then, before his astonished superiors
could interfere, he drew his revolver and
shot himself.

JOHN BURNS IS EVERYWHERE.
Labor Member of Parliament Leads
Strenuous Life.

London, Dec 22.-John Burns. president
of the local government board, who. dur
ing the past session of Parliament, earned
the praise of both Liberals and Unionists.
is one Of those men who turn up every
where. A few days ago he rescued some
children from drowning, the other night
he was helping at a fire in Clapham road,
and last night" writes a Parliamentary
reporter, Il saw him in the House of
Commons at 1890 While at a. m. 1
found him on the Thames embankment
close to Charing Cross bridge"
'The cabinet member was scarcely
recognizable, though he had only turned
up his coat collar. He had been making
round of visits to the Salvation and
church army shelters, and was at this
moment about to mingle with the
wretched crowd that nightly gathers at
the Salvation rendezvous under charing
Cross Bridge.
Mr.. Burns believes what he sees with
his own eyes. He realizes that he must
see much in this way If he is to deal
effectively with the derelicts Of the social
systems.
while Mr.. Burns stood unobserved
among the crowd, one of the new cleo
trio trans drew up, and thes Minister
had the satisfaction of seeing the con-
ductor refuse to allow an intoxicated
man to proceed as a passenger As the
car moved off, the wOuld-be passenger
caught sight Of Mr.. Burns and remarked:
Why. there's John Burns; he's out look
ing after things That's the sort of a
man to have about and the observation
evidently voiced the general sentiment"

Berlin, Dec. 22.-Another thrilling scene
was witnessed in the Busch circus re-
Gently, when Jack Peters, the tanner.
gave his second performance with his
lions and tigers since he was nauled
recently.
Owing to a relapse from overexertion
after his first performance, his left arm
was in a sling. and he entered the cage Of
eight lions and ten tigers armed only
with a whip.
He obtained mastery over all the ami
mails except the tiger which had twice at
tempted to kill him. This brute followed
him round the cage, making attempts TO
strike him with its paws. Peters, who
was badly hampered with his helpless
arm, was Obliged to leave the cage pre-
cipitately, amid the intense excitement OF
the Onlookers-
A few minutes later he reappeared, and.
entering the cage a second time, tried to
subdue the tiger by flashing it with his
whip. Again he had to dodge around
the cage TO avoid the animals onsIaughts,
and the other animals becoming excited,
his position became extremely danger

Keepers crowded round the cage ready
to intervene at the moment Of supreme

cage began a regular bombardment witt

combat inside the cage and the firing

scene of Understandable confusion.

White Men and Native Assistants In
Terrible Predicament as Am
munitiOn Is Short.

Capetown, Dec. "A white trader
named Macmillan recently had a thrill
ing adventure while Transporting 1,O0O
head Of cattle from Lealui to KaIomo, in
Northwestern RhOdesia.
While encamped at the Luange River
he was awakened by the noise of lions
attacking the cattle kraals. Macmillan
secured two heavy revolvers, and. ac-
companied by armed native helpers,
took up his position on an ant heap
and fired at the lions. several of which
had already entered the kraals.
Two lions We're badly wounded. and,
roaring with pain. they dashed at Mac
MILAN They were quickly dispatched
but not before two OF the natives had
been badly mangled.
a third wounded lion then charged
the ant heap, and as Macmillan and his
men had exhausted their ammunition
they were forced to retreat into the
bush until daybreak. Then they saw
three wounded lions leave the kraals
and seek shelter in the bush.
Inside the kTaals they found two
more dead lions. making a total Of
four killed and three wounded. The
lions had killed eleven oxen, seven
cows, and five calves.

WOMAN IS DOOMED BY GANG
Friends of a Convict Whom She
Brought to Justice Avenge Him.
Assassin, a Young Man, Gives Her a
Quarter of an Hour 10 Pre-
pare for Death.

Paris. Dec. 2.-An extraordinary tale Of
the carrying out of a sentence Of death
passed by a gang of criminals on a
woman was told in the courts to-day
a man named Colney was recently ar
rested. convicted Of robbery. and sen
fenced to two years Imprisonment on in
formation given by a woman whom he
knew, named Sarah Baronmaer.
It was not until he appeared before the
courts that Colney learned that the
woman had been the means of his convic-
ton He found means of communicating
with the gang to which he was affiliated,
and asked them TO avenge him.
The gang met, discussed the matter, and
sentenced the woman to death. Lots were
drawn 10 decide who should be the exc
cutioner, and Camille Koenit, twenty-five,
was designated He found his victim in
company with two friends in a cafe on
the Boulevard de BelleviIe He entered
the cafe and spoke so threateningly that
the two friends fed In alarm. Il am here

you have got to die. give you quarter

saying. he strobe out into the street
Twenty minutes later the trembling
woman summoned up her courage and
went out. KOenit had been lying in wait
and walked up to her with an open knife
In his hand. He stabbed her deeply in the
chest, and as she staggered blindly for
ward struck her again in the back, killing
her almost instantly. Koenit was arrested
the same evening.
The jury found him guilty of murder in
the first degree. and refused the plea of

TARIFF FRICTION ENDED.
Prof. MuensterberE Says German and
American Relations Are Pleasant.

Berlin. Dec. 22.-Prof. Muensterberg. of
Harvard, said to-day that tariff friction
between the United States and Germany
was now a thing of the past. All we'll
informed Germans, he said. share the
opinion that the tariff experts OF the
two countries will be able to readtust
commercial relations on a mutually sat
isfactory footing.
This feeling, which is reflected in infiu-
entail German circles. demonstrates that
the action Of America in sending tariff
commission to Germany was a master
stroke Of diplomacy and craftsmanship
The Germans recognize that America
did unique act Of international cour-
teSy in appointing a commission to visit
Germany, inasmuch as fundamentally
Germany's interests, and not Americas
are at STAKE, and diplomatic usage would
require that German commission should
visit the United States.
Prof. Muensterberg added that I'resi-
dent Roosevelt said TO him a few days
before he left for Europe that his prime
object in sancuoning the commission was
as much to demonstrate practically
Americas friendship and sympathy as to
protect Americas business interests.

POLITICAL RIOT IN JAIL.
Republican and MOnnrchist Factions
Battle ia Portugal Prison.

Lisbon. Dec. PA remarkable political
riot took place at the Setubal convict
prison to-day between two factions OF
prisoners.
The inmates were divided into Monar-
chist and Republican groups. and the bit
terness between them was so great that
the force Of infantry stationed at the
prison was unable to preserve order.
The climax was reached this morning.
when the Republicans, by way Of revenge
for sundry attacks by their opponents.
set FIRE to the dormitory Of the Monarch
lists
The building was soon mass of flames,
notwithstanding the prompt arrival Of
the warders and soldiers with fire ap-
paratus.
While they fought the fire the exultant
Republicans sang Republican songs. and
jeered at their homeless opponents
The refractory prisoners were not sub
dued until they had been thoroughly
drenched with water from five lines OF
hose
A number of them were wounded in en-
counters with the opposing faction.

TURBINE ENGINES FAVORED.
British Admiralty VIII Discard Re-
ciprOcRting style in the Future.

London, Dec. 22-The admiralty has de-
cided to discard recip:ocating engines.
and in future fit all classes Of British
war ships with turbines. All battle ships
and cruisers Of every class in future
will be thus equipped. though few less
important craft, such as gunboats and
river boats may stu carry recipr0cating
engines. The cause OF this departure in
naval construction has been the great
success OF the Dreadnaught, and the fact
that deficiencies in turbines as applied
to war ships are gradually being over
come.
Hitherto the question Of expenses has
been the chief drawback. The chief de-
feet Of turbines was the fact that they
could be built economically only for one
speed. II they were constructed for a
speed Of eight knots, they were very sat
isfactOry at that rate, but if they were
constructed for tweBty-four knots. they
were very expensive at less speed
This difficulty has been satisfactorily
solved and turbines can now be built 70
steam equally cheap at fourteen knots
as at twenty-four Thus by changing
the design the difficulty has been over
come to this extent. but naval engineers
are still working on the problem and eX
pect to further increase the efficiency
soon by increasing the range Of high or
low speed. II has also been found that
the maneuvering qualities Of the turbine
are excellent, and the principle may be
said TO have been thoroughly established
in the British naval service.
British experts believe that those nayies
which neglect the turbine principle viii
be left behind. They regard reciprocal
ing engines as out Of date, and express
surprise that the United States at the
present moment is laying down two big
battle ships which are to be fitted with
reciprocating engines.

stolid Chinese.
a few weeks ago well-to-do Chinaman
in Kuala Lumpur, the capital Of Selsn-
gor, received from China specimens of a
plant which was said to be a cure for
the opium habit. a short search revealed
the fact that the plant grew freely in Sc
langor in a wild state. and in a very
short time a quantity was obtained and
active operations commenced
The leaves Of the plant. which appears
To be a shrub somewhat akin to gambler

infusion is made. and the specific is

formed in Kuala Lumpur.. and the spe-
cific is distributed free The dispensaries

AT LAW OVER QUARTER CENT.
NOnpayment of Trining sum Leads
to Rejection OF Deal.

Vienna, Dec. 22.-Two inventors named
Mach and Lagodzie have brought an &C
ton for $3.50. which they allege they have
lost by the non-payment of half a far
thing
They protected at the German patent
Office a contrivance TO prevent accidents
in working cranes. the yearly payment
being $3.50. This amount was calculated
by the Austrian postal service and duly
sent by pOst-ofiice order.
The Berlin postal authorities, however.
declared that the amount received was
One-eighth of a penny less than the sum
due. and sent two notices to the invent
ors' agent asking for the balance.
As the notices were disregarded the
patent Office declared the patent lapsed
The inventors have now brought their ac-
ton against their agent for neglect in
failing to pay the extra half-farthing.
