MANY coloRED MEN WERE Or
BEFORE JUDGE MANN.

and While, Doing SO Was Relieved
Of His Pct Dog-7Iack Was Waiting
for a Hog Train.

IL Was 80 UATk VOllC0 Court y0S.
terday morning that there was not
any light for colored men, the Sunday
offenders Of the law being almost en-
tirely members Of the dark race.
Judge Mann was called upon to hear
the various causes why the numerous
offenders had been imprisoned during
the night before and to levy such pun
ishment as he saw At.
Among the names registered on the
police blotter were those Of John Doe,
Old Man Doe, August Mangle, T. j.
Block, Ed Hanly, Edmon John, James
Lasher, Sam Anderson, Charles Ben
nett, Jim Hutchinson, Walt Ander-
son. John MacWilliams and Chris
King. a majority OF which were vags
or drunks and received short SEN
fences working on the streets.
Waiting for "Hog Train"
Bill Harper was arrested Sunday for
improper conduct on the streets and
was taxed a fine Of IS. j. P. Black
was among those up for drunkenness,
and when brought before the Judge
informed that omcial that "he was
waiting for a hog train" whereuIp,opnn
he was told that he was pretty near
being on the hog then, but was told
to go back to the stock yards and
take the first "hog train" out. The
Judge then listened to the tale Of. two
sheepherders who had engaged ii q
scrap over q dog.
AS near as could be understood
from what the troubled men said was
that one Of them had come to town
with the shepherd dog to see the city
and that while engaged ii sightseeing
he accidentally dropped into q saloon
Ito partake Of a sociable glass. While
slipping the foam some mischievously
inclined persons cut the string with
which he was holding his dog and re
moved the animal without it's owners
knowledge.
Case Of Mistaken Identity.
Upon discovering his loss some
time afterward the sheepherder began
a search about the streets to see II he
might n onto the culprit with his
canine friend. He had not gone fal
before he came across . man having
a dog that looked exactly" like his
and he proceeded to help himself te
the same. This, however, did MOI
please that man, another sheepherder
who had the dog. In q wordy row
both maintained that the animal wae
his.
AS the best means Of settling the
matter both went to Judge Mann and
left It all to his honor to settle. After
awarding he dog to It's rightful owner
the Judge advised both to go back t.
their sheep and to stop fighting owe,

street to continue the search for his

CONTRADICTIONS REPORTS.
Mexico City People Claim False
Statements Have Been Circulated.

City of Mexico, June 29.-Up to this
evening no news Of any sort has been
received at the capitol that would In
dictate that there had been repetition
Of the disorders similar to those
which occurred at the towns Of viesca
and Las Vacas.
On the contrary, at the departments
'of the interior, war and state, the
statement was made that absolute
quiet reigns in the regions where the
two small bands had been operating.
Through private kilograms Of in
quiry received here this morning, it
was made evident that untruthful and
sensational reports relating to cap
lures and assaults were IN circulation
in the United States. One story was
to the effect that the town of Jiminez,
q place Of about 1000 inhabitants,
has been assaulted andYcaptured by
revolutionists. IA 81

the Office Of the president OF the Mex.

THE SENATE AND THE HAGUE.

Congress in the session which has Just eX-
pred established an excellent record for posi-
tive achievements in more than one direction,
and nerhans in none more than in that Of for
eien relations. The activity Of the Senate in
considering and ratifying treaties was excep-
tional and was on the whole. discreety ana
proftablv exercised We have hitherto re-
marked upon its ratification of a series of arbi-
tration trea ties with various countries. In that
the Senate confirmed the benevolent attitude
long maintained by the United States toward
International controversies and vindicated the
sincerity of American support of the pacific
principles set forth at The Hague. In other no
less important particulars the work at The
TIsc7,e was reaffirmed and ratified at Washing
+o, Tho ANALYSIS of Senatorial action
treaties which we published the other day
showed that all the conventions formulated AT
The Hague were ratified except three, and the
reasons fo~ not ratifying those were such as
sbo,ld he general lily conclusive. while the eleven
which were ratified are in the aggregate vastly
more important both for the mitigation OF the
errors of war and for the avoidance of inter
national i'll will.
One Of the latter provides for the application
to naval warfare of the humane provisions or

THE RECOUNT.

The mayoralty recount is not proving Inc
validity of Mr.. Hearst's claim TO marfyrdom.
The average gain for Mr.. Hearst III each pallo'
box which started out bravely at Ii, droppe" 10
a little more than two yesterday, and 1T Is Iaii
ing off so rapidly that 1t threatens soon I" dls-
appear entirely. Indeed, in the sixteen poAeo
counted yesterday morning there was net loSs
cf three votes for Mr. Hearst. The prospect Is
that if the whole city is recounted very little
change will be made in the Mayors pIufaIlt!,
and that change is just as likely to prove q gain
as loss No indications of fraud have been
found in the boxes far examined The dlf-
ferences between the recount and the ofhclal
count have resulted either from the stupidity
Of the original election boards in failing 10
keep their tally sheets straight or from the
Justices ruling more strictly upon the 'defecti7e
ballots than those boards did. Some of the
boxes hetray lamentahe lack of capacity on
the part of the original canvassers. one opened
Yesterday. for instance credited Mayor McCle-
Ian with los votes, whereas he actually Ead ia
votes in the box, while the Hearst votes in this
same box we're four more than he was
credited with. There was certainly no 1ndlCa-
tfon OF fraud in this. but only Of plain stupidity
which could not keep straight tally or little
more than two hundred ballots. There is not
even any evidence yet that the original can
yassers had disposition to give the Mayor the
benefit of the doubt in regard to disputed pal
lots The boards were honest but hlunderlng
and errors of this sort will tend 70 offset each
other throughout the city. The recount may,
therefore, be considered justification Of the
present system of bipartisan canvassers. with
partv watchers TO scrutinize the count IT ap-
parently gives an honest tabulation, even when
one of the parties which turns out TO be major
party has representation on the board
The real defect in the system is that. while
honest, the canvassers make many serious mis-
takes and that long it is possible for
count to be fifteen or twenty votes out of the
way in single box doubt will hang over the re-
suit of any close election When all the pother
and needless excitement over the 1900 election
and the possibilities for demaSogy in it are
taken into consideration every one must wish
for the perfection of mechanical methods Of
registering votes which will establish results at
once and forever beyond dispute
