Worlds Longest Fence.

San Antonio, Tex, Aug. 29.-The
longest fence in the world and the
queereSt artificial boundary establish
ed between two countries anywhere
will in the near future separate the
United. States and Mexico. Accord
ing to a dispatch in The Mexico Rec
ord, a final agreement to that effect
has been drawn up between the two
Governments and the fence will be
built in the very near future.
1t will be constructed of stout
posts, possibly REINFORCED concrete,
and five-strand, steer-tight barbed
wire. In all places where the United
States Government owns the land the
fence will be set up twenty meters,
or about six yards, to the north of the
true boundary line, and where the
ground is owned individually the
fence will stand on the exact border.
Mounted Mexican rurales will patrol
the fence on the south and United
States rangers will do the same on
the north.
The immediate purpose of the
fence is to prevent cattle from the
two countries straying onto foreign
soil. II will also be useful in the pre-
vention of infectious diseases among
cattle, especially the tick, However,
the fence will have usefulness in 9TH
er directions. 1t will render SNUG
Cling and the illicit immigration of
Chinese and others into this country
more difficult than they are now.
About 1000 miles of fence will have
to be erected.

Roosevelt Would Force Trusts to
Elect Him Again.

New York, Aug 29.-The Evening
Post, which is the foretold New York
gang politics, prints a vitriolic editor
ial attack on Col. Roosevelt which in
part is as follows:
"Such wild and whirlng words as
Mr.. Roosevelt uttered are n curse to
public life, They arouse passion
without directing it, They gave no
one a clear idea of what the speaker
mean except that he thought to IN
flame the crowd and make mischief,
The thing goes beyond a display of
bad taste. As such il is shocking,
but it is besides an exhibition of moral
imprudence, 4 will make the cor
porations come to time, shouted
Roosevelt to the mob.
"But did he not really mean that he
would make them come down with
the cash to elect him as he did be-
fore?
"This champion of purity, this roar
er for political virtue, is the man who
was for years, when in public life,
hand in glove with the worst political
corruptionists of his day; he toadied
to Plat who praised Quay, who paid
court to Hanna; under him as presi

power, always on good terms viii

In the course OF duty a reporter
asked Senator Burton solicitously re-

was wearing at the function, intending
that It's description should be added

Senator Burton is fifty-nine years

as a senator and in other prominent

from Ohio, and then before the re-

Mr.. Burton continued his remarks.
Because there is no Mrs. Senator

feelings of Mr.. Senator Burton of
Ohio there is not liable to be any Mrs.

LINERS CABINS
RAIDED AT NIGHT
FOR VALUABLES.
Customs Special Agent ROutS
Passengers at Quarantine in
Effort to Prevent Snug
Cling.

New York, Aug. 2S.-lndignant
protests were made by the passengers
of the liner Mauretania, including
many prominent persons, over the
night search of the liners cabins,
started on her arrival and not COM
pleted till early Friday. With seven
men, Special Agent Wall ransacked
every stateroom in the effort to find
trace of diamond necklace valued at
$3.50, 900, struggled out of South
Africa by a woman. twas believed
the necklace was aboard the Maure-
tania.
Acting deliberately, the SearcherS
routed out the 1872 first class and 4S0
second class passengers, many being
compelled to leave their beds.
Among the passengers were Mrs.
Potter Palmer and Mr.. and Mrs,
Honore Palmer, of Chicago, Lord
and Lady Northclifle, Seth Lowe,
Miss Maud Adams, kyrle Bellew,
Paul Morton and Judge Edward P,
Coyne.
This smuggling raid, the most SEN
sational ever attempted by the Gus
toms authorities at New York, was
decided upon by Collector of the Port
Loeb, it is said, following the discov'
cry of an empty jewel case and bill
for jewelry in the stateroom of Ger
man liner,
Cabins Are Raided Without Warning.
No warning was given the officials
of the Cunard line. The raiders
boarded the liner at Quarantine, ant
then the search was begun, All told
l,944 passengers in the liner werl
subjected to the drastic treatment.
No excuse was accepted, the agents
insisting on admission to the state
rooms. There the bedding was ran
sacked, drawers turned topsy turvN
and baggage gone through with thu
roughness of the police searching ;
desperate character. In several in
stances a clash between the passen
gers and the searchers was narrowl,
averted. The agents showed thei
authority, however, and carried on
their plan without hitch. They ha'
been ordered to merely make note
where valuables were found secrete,
for smuggling. The foreign passen
gers, who included some distinguish
. ed persons, were bitter in their com
ments on their reception by America
! and the Americans were no less in
dignant.

THE HEMPH1LL CASE.
Doctor, Convicted of Performing
Illegal Operation, Gets
New Trial.

Montgomery City, Mo-, April Is
Circuit Judge Barnett has closed
the regular term of the Lincoln
County Circuit Court at Troy and
continued the case of Doctor W.
A. Hemphill 10 a special term,
which probably will be held the
last week of May.
Then the Judge is expected 70
pass upon the plea in bar, which
was urged by the attorneys for de-
fendant several days ago.
At the first trial Hemphill was
convicted of performing an illegal
operation upon Elizabeth Gleason.
who was sent to him by the Rev.
Clyde Cow. He was sentenced 10
two years in the Penitentiary.
While the motion for new trial
was pending the attorneys for the
defendant discovered the indicC-
ment was faulty and new trial
was granted.
At the first trial the case went to
the jury without a dismissal by
the State on either count. The ver-
diet Of guilty was on the second
count, but the jury was silent as
to the first. The defense now
argues the defendant, in a legal
sense, was acquitted on the first
count and cannot again be tried
on this new and amended infor-
nation.
Doctor Hemphill and Cow are
both at liberty, OH bond. The
former is making his home in St.
Louis and the latter in Kansas.
Cows case is pending in the Su-
preme Court, and his ecclesiastical
suit, he having been unfrocked by
the Missouri Conference for his
connection with the case. has been
appealed to the General Confer,
ence of the NJ. E. church, South
which meets next month in North
