dispute with Great Britain submit

empting American ,coastwise ship
Ping.
1t is the opinion of many senators,
who were originally opposed to grant

passage that if the subject finally
reaches the Senate only majority of
votes Of that body was held to be nee
csaarY fer the adoption Of an agree

directed its chief protest Although
that course was recommended by
Secretary of War StimsOn in his an
nua1 report senators who were
strongly identified with the fight
against exemption last August, today
stated that they knew of no bill or
amendment to repeal that portion of
the law.
A strong sentiment exists in the
Senate in favor of a final submission
to arbitration of the respective rights
of Great Britain and the United
States at the canal.
Leading senators, who indorsed
the sentiment, however, expressed
the belief today that it would be i'm
possible to secure even a majority of
the Senate in support of an arbitra-
ton agreement if the president
should finally submit such an agree
ment for approval. The passage Of
the bill, repeating the toll-eXemption
provision of the law also would be
practically impossible, it is stated

returning from a trip on the lake,
discovered bottle bobbing on the
surface Of the water off Sheboygan.
He ran his smack a aongside the OBJ
ject and picked it up.
Written in Faltering Hand.
The black bottle was sealed with
whitfield stopper, cut evidently
from a limb of Christmas tree. He
uncorked the bottle and found the
penciled note, written in a faltering
hand on a sheet of torn writing
paper.
On arrival at Sheboygan, he at
once turned it over to the authori-

to as having been washed overheard

in Milwaukee from Secretary of the

MANASSAS NEWS ITEMS
Richard Reid Found Guilty of Making
Murderous Assault and Seat
to the Penitentiary.

Especial to the Gazette).
Manassas, Va, April 6.--The case of
the Commonwealth against Richard
Reid, charged with committing muir
derous assault upon ]. B. Ashby, near
Gainesville, last December and which
has excited considerable interest thro-
ughout this and adjoining counties,
came up in the Circuit court, Judge
j. B. T. Thornton, presiding, yester-
day. The State is represented by
Commemorative Attorney Thomas H.
Lion and the defence by R. A. Hutch
inson and Bryan Gordon. The case
was given to the jury at six o'clock
Thursday evening and not being able
to arrive at verdict, after q deliber-
alton Of an hour, the jury was put in
charge of the sheriff until the recon
vening of court at nine o'clock yes
terday morning. Reid was a, tenant
of Ashby ION a farm near Gainesville,
and had some difficulty with his land
lord concerning the conduct of the
farm, during the latter part of June
last year. In December, according to
the evidence adduced, Ashby went to
see Reid on some matter Of business,
and Reid, without further provocation
than that received in June, shot Ashby
through the neck with a rife, injuring
him to such extent as to necessitate
his being sent to hospital where ne
now is without much prospect Of rec
overy. During the trial the accused
held his infant child upon his lap
while his wife and a three year old
son occupied seat by his side. Dur
ing the consideration Of the case yes
terday evening the wife and little boy
wept bitterly and the scene was pa
ghetto one. Notwithstanding the diff
fculties encountered through bad wit
hesses the attorneys for the defense
made a splendid fight for the accused
and Mr.. Lion measured up fully to
his responsibilities in presenting the
Commonwealth side of the case. The
Jury, at ten o'clock yesterday morning
brought in verdict of one year in
he State Penitentiary.

STRIKE DECLARED OFF-ONE
THIRD OF MINERS AT WORK

London April 6.-At the special
meeting of the Miners Federation
held today to decide whether it would
approve the action of the executive
committee in recommending. that the
coal strike be declared off because 3
two. third vote to continue it was not
cast, a peculiar situation. was presen:-
ted. Every leader of prominence fay
ored accepting what has been termed
"peace with honor" while"a large ma;
jority of delegates made up chiefly
Of members from the north was threat
ening to secede If the strike was not
continued.
The reason assigned by the 'malcon-
tents was that they would get much
better concessions from the district
boards appointed under the minimum
scale law if they we're still out than
they could expect if they went back
to the pits.
Because of the desire to prevent an
open rupture or to let it even become
apparent that their organization was
not a union the leaders went to ex-
tremes to conciliate the war party.
Conferences were held and several
new plans suggested as q way. out OF
the muddle.
As usual the meeting was held be-
hind closed doors and all information
Of what was transpiring was withheld
1t was admitted that the reports re-
ceived at headquarters show that more
than one third of the miners of the
country are already back at work hay
ing accepted the recommendation
made by the executive committee on
Wednesday as authority. None of
these men would come out on new
strike order, it was said, even though
the war party could get control.
London, April 6.-The Miners Fed.
Grafton following lengthy session to-
day officially declared off the great coal
strike and ordered the men to return to
work immediately.
