VICTIM OF HALluc|NAT|oN'
His Mind Overthrown by the Mighty Effort Which Produced "Lachrymae Musarum," Commemora-
 tive of Death of fennyson

New York. William Watson. the try recently, has disappeared as com pletely as Dr. Cook. His brother, Robinson Watson. believes he is un- der the obsession of a recurrent hal- Inclination that attacked him seven teen years ago, resulting from the stress of over-work and the conflict of powerfully opposed emotions.
 'I declare deliberately. and with full knowledge" said Robinson Wat son. that the terrible things lightly hurled by my brother against a cer- tain distinguished family are in no sense the responsible utterances of the poet William Watson. They are the outcome of a mental malady alien himself. the William Watson we know will condemn them with burning words and bitter tears"
 Robinson explained in an interview telegraphed from Montreal how his brother came to enter what is per- haps the saddest experience that can be endured in life by any man. mental abberation." On the death of Lord Alfred Tennyson. William Watson. he said. laDored fifty hours without rest and almost without food to produce what he originally intend- ed to be brief commemorative poem. but under the impulses of his burning ambition. it became TLachrymae Mu- sarum." v poem concerning which Robinson Watson quotes Gladstone ags For stearn rennySon's own ode on the death of the Duke of Wellington" The poem won the author immediate fame and q grant of 200 pounds from the royal bounty fund.
 And now I must disclose the fact that at that time my brother had been for many years contending against adverse pecuniary circum- stances" continues Robinson Watson. and when the great good news came it was like a veritable avalanche of good fortune.
 But it was too high. more than he could bear. A week later it be- came evident beyond all doubt that his mental balance was gone.
 William Watson's delusions." says his brother assumed the form of a belief that he bad mission to per form against certain exalted person. ages That belief his brother is convinced has returned. Said he: The poet came to America with a deep rooted belief that he had a mis- sion of hostility against a certain family of high station in England Nothing could dissuade him from that wild infatuation.' This family as was disclosed in New York recent ly by the poet himself. was that of Premier Asquith.

'LYNCH'S ELECTION
 l. BREAKS DEADLOCK
FAMOUS UMPIRE HEAD OF MA
 TIONAL LEAGUE.
HeydIer Restored to the Position He
 Has Held Seven Years.

New York. Dec. 1S.-The deadlock in the National league for the election of president, was unexpectedly broken this afternoon by the unanimous cleo ton of Thomas Lynch, whose name had mt been considered or had not been publicly mentioned. There is req son to believe that the eight club prsidents held a secret conference ence. at which the supporters of Ward and Brown came to an understanding. East side instructed Brush to select a man whose name had not been before the league Brush consulted none of his colleagues. but telegraphed to New Britain, Conn, for Lynch to come at once.
 Three ballots had been taken, all re- sulting in the same tie-i Ward 4 Brown. Then. apparently there was an agreement. Ebbetts of Brooklyn, read letter from Ward. withdrawing At the same time Stanley Robinson of St. Louis withdrew Browns name.
 Following the arranged plan. Brush then mentioned Lynch. referring to him by his better known title the king of umpires." The seven magnates quickly seconded the nomination and the election was made unanimous.
 Ebbetts. who had been one of the bitterest fighters against Heydler. who succeeded the late Harry Pulliam as president. then nominated Heydler as secretary treasurer. the position which he has filled continuously for many years. even while president. There was no hitch. It was understood that Heydier would not accept an appoint ment for one year. and after confer ence he was nominated for three years and unanimously elected. Lynch's election is for one year. Pop" Anson, whom Murphy had brought from Chi cago. believing that he would be elect ed. remained at the Waldorf to the last and then departed, silent but sorely disappointed.

LAST DAYS
 OF zELAYA Filled With Terror For His
 Enemies AMERICA IS PET|T|OhED
To Prevent Bloodshed and Cruelty on Which the Sun of the Dictator Is Setting.
 His General in the Field Hears of His Resignation.

Managua. Dec. 1S.-Some of the have sent a petition to Henry Cal dera. acting United States consul, which sets forth the tortures to which Zelaya's prisoners have been sub- jected. and pitifully requests the in- tervention of the American govern ment.
 ~Numberless prisoners" says the petition. have been tortured in the cells of the penitentiary. their families impoverished. liberty crushed and pa triots killed for their effort to end crime. extortion and tyranny, and to prevent the assassination of Groce and Cannon.
 We impiore you to bring the malefactor to justice. that he may receive the punishment he deserves, and that he be not permitted to es- cape.
 For weeks the associates and ad- herents of Zelaya have been conduct ing a reign of terror. Property has been confiscated, fathers and sons imprisoned and wives and daughters forced to submit to unspeakable out rages. and dragged to jail and cruelty injured. So appalling are conditions that d large number of women met and finally decided to submit a plea 10 the representative of the United states. whose warships are close at hand.
 Not only their own protection do they seek, but the safety of those who in the last few days have had courage enough to rise to public officers and denounce Zelaya. The agitation is SD strong against holding hundreds. and perhaps thousands in prison. that the officials have deemed it advisable to take steps to release at least some. Most of the political prisoners. there fore. were freed today but many others are still behind the walls.
 It was after the American warships had reached Corinto that the demon strations against Zelaya became pro nounced. for those who have been crying for revolution are fully con vinced that blue jackets and marines will be landed. Now they are terri fled lest no men be sent ashore. In such an event they fear reprisals by Zelaya
 Scores of revolutionary suspects have been thrown into prison and put to torture, and others are now in chains who refused to do the bid ding of the government. Among them is Anibel Chavez. who was in charge of the firing squad when Groce and Cannon were brought out for execu- tion He refused to. give the firing order. exclaiming as he threw down his sword: I'm a soldier and not a murderer

cannot be answered except by con-
cedtng the injustice of the bill. Said
