carriages were driven from Jackson to

of a continuous, ovation. Almost
every child had been provided with a
good-sized American flag and their
voices and flags were womed In uni-

most of them had red sashes. Thous-
ands of youngsters had gathered large
bouquets, which they threw at the
president as he passed.
President McKinley rode with his

While it is p erv generally known
thit there are many ciever billiard

th-r>e is a matter of gos.-ip in th^
social rircies in which they m>ve.
there is but one place where they n
nrivlleged to play in public, says rhe

One of • h* players was a miss who was
hardly n;-;re ihan twenty, neatly row i-

severe style of the ancient Greeks that
artists so much admire. As the game
progressed it became her turn to break
the- ball.- It was a eime of fifty points
3nd she announced her intention of
pocketing a named ball in the upo-?r
left hand corner pocket. The shot was
true, the ball fell into "he designaVl
pocket, and a second fell in the sid°
pocket. The bre^k was a good one,
and then one after another she drove
th#> balljf into the pockets until th^ro
was but one lefr. This was in a oad
fpot. so that the only possible ohot
was a side pocket after playing twice
across the table. Nothing daunted, the
m ss called the shot, played deliber-
a'ely. and made it as cleverly as De
Oro could have done. She had cleaned
the table without a miss, and as the

Asheville, N. May 2.—The heav-

day in Asheville and the surrounding
country that has visited this country
in years. Bridges are gone and many
roads are impassable. The water is
up to the floors in many dwellings
and has reached the fires in the elec-
tric light plant. The city is in dark

Hroad and Swannao rivers has reached
the highest point on record. The
water is a foot deep in the ice fac-
tory and flour mills. At Biltmore,
the Southern railway tracks are
washed out of place and they are
twisted into all sorts of shapes.
Hundreds of Asheville people have
flocked to Biltrnore to see the damage
done. One row of cottages was

Washington. May 22.--Col. Nlille. su-
perintendent of the military academy,
had a long consultation with the sec-
retary of war relative to recent disor-
ders among the cadets at West PoinL
Superintendent Mills explained the
condition at the academy, insisting
that many of the published reports
were exaggerted The present diffi-
culty grows out of the attempt to sup-
press hazing and the restrictions that
have been made in this direction since
Col. Mills became superintendent.
The superintendent spoke in the high-
est terms of the cadets and thought
it "was only a question of a short time
before the customary conditions would
be resumed. The matter of discipline
was in question and that must be
maintained. «

Porto Ri<o. but points out that a
standard form of such government,
while useful in the United States,
would not apply successfully to this
island population. He calls attention
to the fact th;it while in such close
proximity to the United States Porto
Rico has been a comparatively un-
known island to Americans.
"1 feel as the result of a year's study
on the spot of all conditions surround
ing this problem." says Gov. Allen,
"that congress will go quite as far as
than could be gained, and in a climate

ience and observation. 1 fully believe
with good men. devoted to the work,
the island will develop faster under

more rapidly in their knowledge of
civic virtues under present methods

where a man can lie in a hammack.

In conclusion Gov. Allen i. y -d tin

l>r. Uhlen-i.uth. of Greifswald. an!
Drs. Washermann and Schultze, of Ber-
lin. The investigations of these gen
tlemon show that it is possible to ob-
tain a definite reaction from blood
stains, no n atter how old. Their meth-
od is l a.-ed on the observation that th^
blood -serum of animals which have
b^en injected with the blood of an an-
imal of a different species, when added
to a dilution of the blood from the
latter, produces therein a well marked
precipitate. Thus, if human blood is
injected into a rabbit, the serum of the
'•abbit blood when added to a dilution
of human blood cause3 immediate tur-
bidity. This is not the case when it is
added to dilutions of any oth?r kind
of blood except that of monkeys, in
which case, however, the reaction is
.similar to that which takes places in
human blood, only that there is a

Washington, May 21.—Approximate-
ly 50,000 machinists throughout the
country struck for a nine-hour day, a
scale of wages equal to the present
ten-hour per day scale and other de-
mands. This is the rough estimate of
President. O'Connell of the Interna-
tional Association of Machinists, based
on the telegraphic advices that have
reached him from the machinists'
headquarteis in the various cities.
The strike thus far has not extended
to the allied trades, save in one or
two instances, as at Scran ton. Pa.,
where men in a part of the allied
trades are out.
No machinists engaged in govern-
ment work arc affected. This is due
to the fact that on such work an
eight hour a day scale already pre-
vails. Railroad machinists as a rule
are not involved in the strike, though
the men on several roads are out. The
Central Vermont sho machinists at St.
Albans, numbering' probably 200, have
struck. The Lehigh Valley railway
machinists at Buffalo. Sayre, Wilkes-
barre and Elmira are out. aggregating
! about 500. The Delaware. Lackawanna
i and Western, at Buffalo. Scranton.
Wilkesbarre and intermediate points
are out. The (Jul*. Colorado and San-
ta Fe men also arc out. The strike
order, however, did not apply to the
railways generally.
The situation was summarized by
President O'Connell in the following
statement:
"We are demanding a nine-hour day
universally throughout the trade with
an inciease of wages suflicient to over-
come the loss of the hour in time;
regulation of the apprenticeship sys-
tem and the number ti at shall l e em-
ployed. in accordance with the num-
ber ot journeymen machinists em-
ployed; agreement sas to arbitration
of all disputes that may arise in the
future; the right of the machinists to
be represented by a committee anil
agreements that there shall be abso-
lutely no discrimination against ma-
chinists because of their membership
in the union.
"From the present indications and
the statements issue from headquar-
ters at the various points the orders
are being generally obeyed and in
larger numbers than was anticipated.
In certain cases where only a few
hundred were expected to be involved
the indications are that the number
will be increased 50 per cent The
number of firms signing indicate that
in localities where the agreements are
being made the strike will not last
over a few days. In other localities
where a larger number of men are
being involved an adjustment is
looked for within the present week.
The following is the statement of
the number of men out at the impor-
tant points: Hartford. Conn., 1100;
Ansonia and Derby, Conn., 500; Ham-
ilton, O., 1000; Buffalo 1200; Scranton
2500; Cincinnati completely tied up
and 3000 men out; Connorsville, Ind.,
200; Palestine, Tex., 500; York. Pa..
300; East Orange. N. J.. 300; Oswego.
N. Y., 300; Norfolk, Va., all shops out.

C. W.'Garrison and wife in this city
Sunday morning and badly wounded
Patrolman Ben Wallis. After being
driven to desperation by the police,
Conway killed himself. Conway was
a neighbor to the Garrisons. The two
families had not been.on friendly
terms for several months, the wives of
the men having quarreled. Saturday
morning Conway wrote a letter to Gar-
rison. saying he had cheated his father
in a trade for a milk dairy. Garrison
showed the letter to Conway's father,
who upbraided his son. Early Sunday
morning Conway, who was employed
at the railroad yards, picked up a shot-
gun, and going to the stable where
Garrison was milking shot him dead.
Then he shot Garrison's cows to death.
Mrs. Garrison ran from the house.
Conway met her at the steps and emp-
tied both barrels into her breast, she
falling dead at his feet. The murderer
next set fire to the Garrison stable, but
the fire department was called out and
extinguished the fire. Conway then
barricaded himself in his house, and
when an attempt was made to arrest
him Conway shot the policeman in the
face and side. The entire police de-
partment was called after a riot alarm
was sounded. The police surrounded
the house, ready to break in, when
they heard a shot. Conway had kissed
his wife good-bye. then ran -upstairs
and shot himself in the heart. Conway
came from a good family, originally
from Kentucky. He leaves a wife and
two children. Garrison leaves two
children. His house and barn were in-
sured.
The shooting of Policeman Wallis
was as deliberate as was the killing of
Garrison. A large hole was torn in
Wallis' forehead. a:id nearly a hundred
shot entered the cavity. Two bv-stand-
ers. who had been talking to Wallis—
Adam Craford and Ed Davis—wit*
nessed the shooting.

sultan's good will after the islands had

"The Mohammedans, who recognize
the sultan as the sultan of Jolo, dif-

that they do not lesire independence.
In fact, they told me they preferred to

Albany, N. Y., May 20.—The great
street railraad strike, lasting twelve
days, which brought 3,000 militia to
the city, costing the lives of two proa-
! inent merchants and entailing an ex-
pense to the county of Albany of over
$39,000, is amicably settled, and if the
agreements aro followed there will be
no trouble at least. The ominous
calm which succeeded the killing of
two inoffensive citizens by national
guardsmen was succeeded Satur-
day afternoon and evening by
hysterical enthusiasm when city
newspapers proclaimed that the
twelve days' strife on the street
railways of the five cities tad been
settled. Flags flying from public and
private buildings, horses and wagons
decorated with bunting and the nat-
ional emblem, citizens carrying smali
flags in their hands and enthusiastic
youths and dignified citizens chasing
after the cars marked some of the
early scenes of the day. The repair
wagon left the company's barn with
its old union crew aboard and going
along Pearl street received an ovation.
The striking men won tbese con-
cessions:
Increasing night men and extra
men's wages to 20c per hour
Granting men t ie right to appeal
/rom a decision of an inspector or the
superintendent to the Traction com-
pany's executive board.
Providing that inspectors boarding
a car need not be rung up unless they
present the equivalent to a fare.
The railroad to pay any employe for
lost time when suspended and found
not guilty.
Employes permitted to ride on their
own division free by showing their
badge.
| No discrimination against strikers
who have not committed violence.
The company obtained these con-
cessions:
That men who were on strike and
committed violence shall not be rein-
stated unless proved not guilty.
That the road may hire or discharge
any man without reference to his affil-
iation or otherwise with a union.
That no proposition to strike shall
lie acted upon unless forty-eight hours
have elapsed from the tome of notifi-
cation and that if a strike ia ordered
it shall not take effect fornix days.
