along which will add weight and digni.
ty to the occasion.
They will stop in historic Richmond,

tions and the great exposition.

testant will be published, but the ques-
ton is whose picture will appear"

malicious shooting. as charged in the
Indictment, unlawful shooting, assault
and battery or not guilty. The instruc:
tions for the first and last one were
SO simple that the people in the court
room felt sure that the verdict would
not be either of them. The prosecut.
ing attorney thought the j.lry would
find Hancock guilty OF unlawful shoot

short time and the prosecuting attor.

that It would be verdict of guilty
Of assault and battery, which IT was.

not impose the jail sentence, but fined
Hancock fifty dollars.

done by men in civil life. He said
that his experience as secretary Of
war, and his observation of their work
before that time and since, had dem.
onstrated to him that these men were
the best equipped body OF men of the
kind In the world.
Senator Elkins
was the only man in public life at
that time to advocate such a course.
1t was limited that he was opposing
the administration by advocating such
a policy. Another course was taken.
Time wore on. Wallace, shonts and
Stevens each took hand and then
quit. The result has baen that at no
time have conditions been entirely
satisfactory to the country and to the
President himself. Gradually Mr..
Roosevelt has come to see the fatility
of trying to build the canal by such
policy. From the time that the work
was begun Senator ElIsins has urged
upon the administration the advantage
OF having the work done by the engi.
neers, and in fifteen short months con.
'ditons on the canal have thoroughly
