ALL AMERICANS
Consular Service VIII be Taken From
Citizens Of Other Nations.

Consular Service VIII be Taken From
Citizens Of Other Nations.
Washington, Sept. 1.-The question
Of supplanting with American citi-
zens the great number Of foreigners
who hold positions in the consular
service Of the United States will be-
taken up with congress at the next
session, when the state department
will ask for an additional number Of
consular assistants to replace men
owing allegiance to other countries.
These foreigners are employed as
clerks and some times occupy the
relation Of vice consul. The custom
of bringing foreigners into the service
has grown up, 1t is said because Of
the tmpossibility to secure Americans
for this clerical force far away from
home with a maximum salary limita-
ton Of $1,000.
With greater number Of consular
assistants, appointed by competitive
examinations who would be eligible
for promotion right up through the
line Of consular service, it Is believed
the situation can be met. In some
cases the foreigners in the service are
also merchants in the towns to which
they are accredited. Oficials of the
state department point out that this
seems rather incongruous in view Of
the fact that the primary object Of the
consular service is to promote Ameri-
can trade.

THE TRAGEDY Of A
LONESOME SHACK
Text of Confessions Show How
Fears Preyed on Sick
!. Man

7 Winnipeg, Sept. Further news
was received in the city yesterday
from the far north giving details OF
a murder and suicide which took
place in q lonely shack on Salt river
between Fort Wrigley and Fort Nor
man. Salt river Is about 500 miles
north of the Great Slave lake, and
about $50 miles from the nerest hab-
itation. The news was received by
Mrs. Mills. wife Of Captain ]. w. Mills,
who is in charge Of the Hudson Bay
Scompany's steamer, Mackenzie River
plying between Fort Smith and Fort
Mcpherson.
It appears that two white men. W.
is. Alliver and man named Pete
Meland, both Of them prospectors
were camping at the place, and the
latter, who was very much younger
than Alliver, accused him Of not tell
ing him the correct amount of money
they both had. This upset Alliver
very much, and he also accused Me.
land Of trying to kill him. A few
days after young Hudson Bay clerk
who was taking the winter mail down
In March, went into the shack and
saw both Of them. On this occasion
Alliver was sick, but on the clerks
return trip he again called at the
shack, which was June 6, and found
both the men dead. On examining the
place he found Meland with the top OF
his head blown of. and Alliver lying
close by, having poisoned himself.
Finding the Bodies.
When the clerk arrived at Fort
Wrigley. he reported the matter to
the officials, who sent down a couple
Of Indians to look into the case and
to see what. they could do. Upon
their arrival, they found out what
kind Of case 1t was. and would not
enter the shack on account Of being
frightened, so they simply nailed up
the door Of the shack, and this ie
how 1t was found when Captain Mile
was passing through with the steamer

"A court which exercises such
great responsibility and calls for
such ability and learning ought to
have its members amply paid so that
they need not be dependent on lee
turing in law schools and doing other
things for the purpose of ecking out
salary that only enables them to
live"
Speaking Of patent law and patent
cases. the president said that he
hoped the new court Of commerce
Will be used as court Of patent ap-

cases, he found, has proved failure.

there is another thought that this

1857 and 1789-marvelous men-who
made the constitution of the United
States. In these days when we are
all In favor of progress, it is of the
highest benefit to the community that
we had an instrument made in those
days sufficiently elastic to compre-
hend all needed progress and suffi-

theories that If they were tried would
fnf1ict injury on the community and
would prove to be failures in the end,
and to thank God that we had John
Marshall and his associates, when the
case OF Marbury VS.. Madison came
up, to decide that the courts are the
ultimate tribunal to make the law Of
the legislature square with the con-
stitution,"
