kets were arranged round the walls,
covered with. black and draped with
Cuban and American ensigns.
Numerous floral afferings were laid
on the collins, including wreaths from
the city OF. Havana, the Cuban navy,
the Spanish war veterans and various
societies. The guard of honor was
composed of Cuban artillerymen and
members of the Havana camp of Span
ish-American war veterans.
The caskets each borne on the
shoulders of Six Cuban soldiers OF
sailors, were carried to the wharf, be.
tween lines of Cuban soldiers, pre-
senting arms. At the head of this pro.
cession was President Gomez and

For some time the lives of the lin

The Ooeana was bound from London
for Bombay. She was proceeding
down the English channel, when off
Beachy Head the bark smashed into

the side out Of the steamer.
The passengers and the officers be-
haved with great calmness, but the
crew, which was composed of Lascars,
was panic-stricken and delayed the
lowering of the boats. Boats lowered

An attempt was first made to beach

Hhe collision occurred while all the
passengers were in their berths. The
water rushed in so quickly that the
lower decks were awash in a few mo-
nents and the passengers trying to
make their way to the upper decks
bad to wade through water to their
waists. The first boat lowered was
swamped and the passengers were
thrown into the water, but they were
all picked up. The second boat was

sues to the front.
No Excuse This Time.

The democratic wool bill of last
year proposed a reduction of SO per
cent in the tariff rates on wool, and
it passed the house by vote of 221
to 100. The same bill has again
passed the house, this time by vote
of 1879 to 80.
Pesident Taft gave as his reason the
fact that the tariff board had not
made it's report. Now, in the light
of the tariff boards report, the re-
publicans of the house propose
wool bill calling for reduction of 40
per cent in Schedule X, or just two
per cent less than the bill which the
president vetoed.
The tariff board, therefore, vindi-
Gates the democratic position on
wool, if such vindication were neces-
sary. The democrats knew, long be-
fore the tariff board was created,
that the wool rates were too high,
and the president knew it also. for
in his speech at Winona, Mimi, he
characterized the Payne-Aldrich
wool tariff rate as indefensible.
AS things now stand, neither the
president nor the high protectionists
will have any excuse for opposing
the present bill, and if any of them
do stand in the way of it's final pas
sage, they will convict themselves of
trying to grant a special privilege,
namely, the privilege of robbing the
consumer, to the trust millionaires.
The "Busted' Oil Trust.
The Standard Oil Company, which
the supreme court of the United
States solemnly "dissolved" some
few weeks ago, has declared a divi-
dend of 1900 per cent. This action
was taken by the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana, and was made for
the purpose of concealing the enorm
Gus profits of the company. 1t was
what is called a stock dividend, that
is, for every share of stock owned by
stock holder, he was given 20 ad-
ditional shares. To. do this it was
necessary to increase the capital
stock Of the concern from one mill
lion to thirty million dollars. No
new capital was added, however.
The increase was declared out of the
surplus.
Since the dissolution" of the
trust, several melons of this sort
have been cut. The Vacuum Oil
company, another subsidiary, re-
Gently increased it's capital stock
from 32,500,OOO to 100000, and
it is reported the Standard of Ken
lucky will declare a stock dividend
of $500 per cent.
Naturally" says the Wall Street
Journal, the official mouthpiece of the
Big Business, 1.-The Standard Oil
stockholders are elated over the
supreme courts decree"
Yes, quite naturally!
Allowing Them to Vote.
President Taft, in a recent letter
to Chairman Koening, of the Mary
land state republican committee,
used this language:
II hope you will see to it that all
voters are allowed to cast their bal
lots at the coming primaries.'
Apparently, it does not occur to
the president that as free born
American citizens they have the per-
feet and inalienable right to cast
their votes, without waiting for Mr.
Koening or anybody else to "allow"
them that privilege.

he did not know that he had formed

he did not know that he had formed
an opinion that would prevent him
from rendering a true verdict on the
evidence, and the challenge was
thereupon overruled. What has al
ready been said herein relative to the
qualifica tons of the trial juror also
disposes of this challenge to the
grand juror, and it need not be re-
peated Finally, it is said that the
verdict is the result of passion and
prejudice, and that it is not sus-
tanned by the evidence. This is a
case of great Importance to both the
defendant and the state, and we have
given the record and the evidence
very careful examination and con-
sideration and we are united in the
opinion that the verdict is fully sup
ported by the evidence. We cannot
say, as a matter of law, that the jury
was not warranted in believing the
testimony of the states witnesses
that they saw the defendant, Clar-
ence Teale, strike the blow that kill
ed Mrs. Zones. On the cold record,
they appear to be as worthy of belief
as the defendant and his witnesses.
The jury saw all of the witnesses
and heard them testify, and the YER
dict in this case must be conclusive
as to the facts. 1t was one of the
most brutal murders that has ever
been committed within this state,
and it is not unlikely that the details
of the transaction of that night may
have aroused the prejudices of the
jury against the crime ITSELF But
the record bears no evidence that
the jury was prejudiced against the
defendant, or that he did not have
a strictly fair and impartial trial.
The judgment is, therefore, af-
firmed.
