Prison Discipline.
While it was not directly in the
scope of the investigation l was max
ing. yet l looked into the matter of
prison discipline somewhat.
So far as l could judge the commits
sion is doing it's duty as we'll as could
be done with the funds which have
been allowed.
The occurrences that have taken
place l am morally certain could only
have been prevented by an entire
change of the whole prison system.
The prison commission is very ur-
gent in the opinion that separate cells
for vicious prisoners should be pro-
vided. The state owes to those who
are placed in it's custody reasonably
safe place in which to work, and a
safe place, certainly, in which to
sleep.
Necessary Appropriation.
I hope, therefore, that the leg 'sla-
ture will find it possible to make
sufficient appropriation to meet the
present necessities of the situation,
especially as the near beer tax afore-
said has been set aside for the use
and protection of the convicts of the
state as we'll in the camp as on the
roads. NAT E. HARRIS, Governor.

After the Burial of 100 Political
Prisoners Who Were Massacred
in Prison.
PORT AU PRINCE.--A mob of in
furiated Haitiens today removed Wit
Drum Guillaume, president of Haiti,
from the French legation, where he
took refuge yesterday, and shot him
to death in front of the building.
The shooting occurred Immediately
after the burial of the 100 political
prisoners who were massacred in
prison yesterday morning at the time
of the revolutionary outbreak against
President, Guillaume. The mob was
composed in a very large part of rel
atives of the victims.
The crowd invaded the French le-
cation and seized Guillaume.
M. Girard, the French minister, TO
Haiti, protested vigorously, but he
was powerless.
Guillaume was dragged from the
protection of the legation. Once in
the street the crowd surged around
him with imprecations and he was
promptly shot to death.
Even then the anger of the people
was not appeased. The body of the
president was mutilated and dragged
through the streets of the city at the
end of a rope.
The people are in state of intense
excitement, and mob violence is fear
ed. Arrival of the American cruiser
Washington with Rear Admiral Ca
perton is expected at any moment.
NJ. Girard was counting on the COM
ing of a cruiser to afford protection
to the legation.

Her case is one of the most spec

married.
Mrs. Godbee rarely sees strangers

scented to talk.

is sending to the Kew Gardens, in
London, the longest flagstaff ever
produced in that province. The tree
from which it was produced was a
perfect specimen of the fir, and the
staff, which is PIG feet long, is with
out a flaw or defect of any kind.
The Flagstaff in the court house yard

from the same timber region.
In it's original state, the American
consul-general says, the stick was 5

inches in diameter at the top, and
perfectly straight. Dressed into prop

80 inches square at the butt for a
distance of IS feet. For the next 100

WHEN WARS WILL CEASE
WHEN ARMAMENT WOULD DE-
FEAT IT'S OWN PURPOSE.
The High Development of Chemical
and Physical Science VIII Make
Warfare Impossible.

LONDON.-The Lancet asks if the
time is approaching when, owing to
the high development of chemical
and physical science, warfare will be-
come impossible?
1t is suggested that explosives may
possibly be rendered useless when in
visible means are found to fire them
from great distances, "as might well
prove to be the case in these days of
wireless waves or radiations and pro-
jections." The Lancet remarks that
it would be a remarkable outcome of
scientific discovery if the new weap-
ons, by their precision, should auto
matically extinguish themselves. If
ornaments should thus defeat its own
ends arbitration should at length
succeed, the paper believes.
On the employment of poisonous
gases the Lancet remarks:
Potent POiSOns.
"Glib references are made to the
pOSSIDl6 use OA pOlSuI pONoOhoJ oAoSh
zeal gases, prussic acid or some other
death-deallng substance which snail
improve upon chlorine compound
adopted by the enemy. 1t is well to
remember that there is evidence that
the enemy has seriously and system
atically studied the question for some
time and we may be fairly certain
that the gas used was decided upon
after considerable trials as the most
available and practicable for the
CHASTITY ends in view. At all events,
such other deadly materials as may
be available are as much in the enc
my's hands as in ours, and neither
side would be likely to gain any per-
manent benefit by such Vaccinations.
We must not dismiss as impractical
BILE the wilder dreams of the chemical
poisoner, for in chemistry it would
seem that no sooner is a suggestion
dismissed as foolish than it at once
appear in the form of an accomplish
ed fact; but We lean to the belief that
the capacities of gas poisoning have
