Fate.

cape Haltien, Feb. 9.-General Mil
llonard of the department of Vallie-
RES, head OF the revolutionary forces
and man of great influence in the
district of Trona and Vallieries, who
has been much feared by every admin

Irou and four other revoIutionaries
from the same district, whose names
are unknown, also were shot by the
Haitien troops.
Their executions, following so close
ly on that of General Montreuil GULL
aume are likely to have a deterrant
effect on the rising, which is the OBJ
ject of President Simon, who now has
the situation well in hand. General
Duval, at whose house a large quantity
of arms and munitions recently was
found, was shot and other distinguished
man are to share the same fate.
General Xavier Memron, another of
the revolutionary leaders. is under ar
rest while General Clement Severe,
who was captured some days ago, has
been whipped for the purpose of ex-
tracing a confession from him as to
the prime movers in the rising.
The warship Nord Alexis proceeded
from here for Fort Liberte, which it
bombarded for the purpose of facili-
tating the landing of troops. The con-

LORIMER LASHED BY BROWN
Nebraskan Threatens to Hold Up Ap.

dial ls Not Ordered.

!. Washington.-Senator Norris Brown
Of Nebraska in a speech before the SEN
ate charged that Senator William Lor-
liner of Illinois must have known that
his election to the senate by the ILL.,
nois legislature was accomplished by
corrupt practice He held that Sena-
tors Holstlaw and Broderick and Rep
resentatives Lee O'Neil Browne,
White, Link, Beckemeyer and Wilson
had been bought to elect Lorimer SEN
ator; that Browne and Speaker Ed
ward D. Shurtleff of the Illinois house
of representatives were the political
agents of Mr.. Lorimer In accomplish
ing his election, and that 1t was not
possible for the election to have been
brought about under the conditions
then existing except by corrupt prac-
tees. Mr.. Brown devoted most of his
remarks to an analysis of the testi-
mony which involved directly the rela-
tons of Lorimer, Shurtleff and
Browne and the relations Of Browne
with his thirty minority followers. Mr..
Brown issued a challenge to obstruc-
tionists that he would hold up appro-
priation bills unless the senate votes
at this session on the Lor1mer case,
the resolution pertaining to the elec-
ton of senators by the people, the bill
to create q permanent tariff board and

Only American Re- elected to the
Vice-PresidenCy.
smbibed Patriotism From His Sol.
dler Father-Was Chosen Cover
nor at 33-Pubiic Ingratitude
Broke His Heart

Washington.-The only vice-presi-
dent of the United States to be re-
elected was Daniel D. Tompkins. AT 80
he was elected to congress; the same
year was made a Judge of the Su.
preme court Of New York. At 33 he
was chosen governor of New York
the youngest man to be honored in
this way. At Al he was elected vice
president; at As this confidence was
renewed and almost unanimously. At
81 he passed away, the youngest man
who ever filled the vice-presidency to
end his career so early.
His father was Jonathan G. Tomp-
kins. The boy was a native Of Sears
dale, hamlet near New York. born
the year before the beginning of the
revolutionary war. From his fathers
knee he imbibed the lessons of pat
rlotism, drank them in from the lips
OF the farmer-soldier who had served
vallantly in the army Of Washington
in the battles of Long Island, White
Plains, Harlem, Trenton, Monmouth
anu princeton.
This parent was thrifty and resolv-
ed to give his son the best there was
In education. Out of the hard-earned
dollars wrung from his acres in West
chester county he saved enough to
give Daniel college training at Co
lumbia. Never was seed sown to bet
ter advantage. Graduating at q, he
studied law and was admitted to prac-
tice in 1897 He won eminence in the
profession before he was two years
engaged IN it. He manifested a strong
liking for politics, was elected to the
state constitutional convention in 1901
and the same year to the assembly.
He at once became a leader in his
party-the Republican-and was elect
ed to congress in 1904, resigning, how
ever, before he took his seat to accept
a justiceship of the Supreme court of
New York. The judiciary he tired of,
for it did not give play to his exuber-
ant fancy and his Partially for poll
tics. He resigned to become a candi-
date for governor with the Demo-
cratic faction of his party, to which
he had latterly given allegiance, in

Minister Fielding Explains.
Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 9.-Finance Min.
lister Fielding took steps to correct
what is regarded here as erroneous
impressions in the minds of the pub
lie men and on the part of leading
journals of Great Britain in regard to
the Canadian-American reciprocity
agreement.
1t can be stated that the Canadian
government viewed with some alarm
the idea reflected by portion of the
British press that the agreement would
have a detrimental effect upon the
trade between Canada and the mother
country and would adversely affect the
preference granted to Great Britain.
Minister Fielding has taken up the
matter with Lord Strathcona, Canada s
high commissioner, in London, and or
behalf Of the Canadian government has
sent the following cablegram:
Canada is seeking markets every
where for her surplus products, subsi-
dizing steamship lines and sending out
commercial agents. Would it not be
ridiculous, in the pursuit of such a
policy, to refuse to avail herself of
the markets of the great nation lying
alongside? The expressed fear that it
will seriously affect imports from
Great Britain is groundless. The
greater part of the agreement deals
with natural products which Great
Britain does not send us. The range
OF manufacturers affected is compare
lively small and in most cases the re-
auctions are small.
ut appears to be assurn ed in some
quarters that the tariff rates agreed
United States and against Great Brit
ain. There is no foundation for this.
I'm every case Great Britain will
still have the same rate or a lower
one. Canada's right to deal with the
British preference as she pleases re-
main untouched by the agreement.
The adoption of the agreement prob.
ably will lead to some further revision
of the Canadian tariff, in which the
Canadian parliament will be entirely
free to fix the British preferential
tariff at any rates that may be deemed
proper"
