He had pro- vided her with some quinine pills and also with some laxative pills and sulphonal powders, but no morphine. He declared that if she had taken at one time everything he had given her it would not have caused death or even hurt her.

CONFLICT OF HAWAIIAN AND AMERICAN LAWS BY HORACE WRIGHT. HONOLULU, Dec. 7.—Treasury Agent Brown has declined to permit several Chinese who arrived by the steamer City of Peking to land, al- though their re-entry permits are in | correct form so far as the laws of Ha- wall are concerned, but not in accord- | ance with the United States laws regu- | lating the entry of laborers. The re- sult is an appeal to the Hawaiian Su- preme Court, wi'ch will be heard next | Monday. -About 150 more Chinese in exactly the same predicament are ex- pected by the Gaelic on the 9th. This conflict of jurisdiction may he far- | reaching enough to entail diplomatic negotiations between the United States and China. Here are men who left here under the protection of the Ha- waiian Government, and the good faith of that Government pledged that they might return to this country if certain requirements were complied with. They return and are met with the statement that they cannot land because laws of which they have had no notice and per- taining to a different country have | gone into effect. It would appear to be | only just that the laws of the United States should not invalidate contracts made by the Hawaiian Government prior to the act of absorption. Except in regard to Chinese immigration the Department of Customs is still under the Hawallan law, and the notice that Mr. Brown was in charge of this branch of the department was only | given just prior to the sighting the in- | coming vessel with these men on board. | Another question that is being mooted in regard to this important test case is: Has the Hawaiian Supreme | Court any Jjurisdiction over United States Federal matters or a Federal official, although he may be seated by | consent of the acting government in | the Hawalian custom-house? That bureau is not yet under the control of the United States, and certainly was not when the permits to return were | granted. Mr. Brown's contention, it is said, will be that as special agent of the United States Treasury he is em- powered, without recourse to the Ha- wailan courts, to enforce the provision of the Newlands resolution wherein it says: ‘“‘There shall be no further im- migration of Chinese into the Hawaifan Islands, except upon such conditions as are now or may be hereafter allowed by the laws of the United States; and no Chinese, by reason of anything here- in contained, shall be allowed to enter the United States from the Hawaiian Islands.” These mien are bona-fide residents of Hawali, who, ®fter an'ab- sence of twelve months, have returned. These continual test cases make us all long for a settled form of government— good, bad or indifferent. | was done on her importuning him for | he | BEAUTIFUL WOMAN MURD OT SPRINGS, Ark., Dec. 14—Gradually the mystery surrounding the disappearance from this city several weeks ago of Mrs. Nelile J. Horne, a beautiful young woman who was visiting the health resort, and who, the authorities believed, was murdered by young Hardy Sheflield and robbed of her money, is being cleared up, and Hardy Sheffield is in jail charged with murder. The Sheriff returned to the city to-day from the home of Sheffield’s brother, In Hot Springs County, where it was reported the body of Mrs. Horne had been found. He brought a sack containing grewsome evidence that a human body had been cremated piece by piece in Sheffield’s house. The sack contained human bones, ashes and other articles recovered from the fireplace. Experts are at work making a scientific examination of these ghastly relics, and it Is already established that the bones are those of a human being. Sheffield’s brother, in whose house the crime is supposed to have been committed, was brought to Hot Springs by Sheriff Williams and placed in jail, as were also several others who are charged with being accessories to the crime. Some startling developments are expected. MAY TAKE CHARGE OF HAVANA BEFORE JANUARY 1 EW YORK, Dec. 14—A Washington special to the Herald says: There is reason to belleve the administration contemplates suggesting to the Spanish Government that the United States take charge of Havana before January 1, in order to stop such disgraceful brawls as are constantly occurring. It is intended by a naval demonstration to show to the world and the Spaniards and Cubans in Havana the Intention of the United States to preserve order. While no instructions have been given to Rear Admiral Sampson or Commodore Philip to land marines the senior officer will de- cide in the event of any further riots whether foreign interests demand the landing of an American force. It is proposed to maintain a strong naval force in Havana harbor and Cuban waters generally from now on, and it would not be surprising if additional ships were sent to the island soon. It is understood the officers of American men-of-war will adopt every pre- caution to prevent any miscreant repeating the Maine catastrophe. The au- thorities have been informed of the raising of all mines in the harbor, but they believe it will be the part of wisdom to observe the utmost precaduon. MEXICAN BORDER MAY BECOME PARADISE FOR CRIMINALS ASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Uniess the unexpected happens the United States and Mexico will be without an extradition treaty on the 13th of next month. The situation promises to be one of gravity and the Mexican border is likely to be a paradise for fugitives from Jjustice and criminals of every description untila new treaty can be agreed upon. Mex- ico denounces the existing treaty because our Government refused to de- liver up on extradition proceedings certain Mexicans who had escaped across the line and were accused by their own Government of various of- fenses of a criminal character, but who, it is asserted, were really wanted forxp(l;xlitlitul x(’ieusons. The case of Guerra, who was involved in one of the periodical raids across the border of New Mexi g Garza, caused the break. ST sty U et Mr. Clayton, United States Minister to Mexico, is endeav a new treaty, but with the serious difference in priniciple b:l(:?:] t&em':a‘l:s governments as to whether a case like Garza's s political or revolution; or the act of a brigand, his task will be difficult. bt ONE MILLION SPENT IN FEEDING THE CUBANS. ASHINGTON, Dec. 14.—Since the cessation of hostilitles this Gov- ernment has spent about $1,000,000 in feeding the starving Cub: - and the work is still going onwith untiring vigor. The Comal atem x\'high there was a dispute over permitting the entry of supplies w}llel it carried, took 1,200,000 rations to the province of Havana. T.e Batt e Port Victor carried 1,000,000 rations each to the starving Cubans end e Comal is now at Savannah with 1.200,000 rations, and will be ready tan e a day or two. It is estimated that these rations cost in round i $1,000,000. Besides this, about 5,000,000 were left at Santiago aftes I}‘zumbers paign before that city, but have been used by the American trr[ & distributed among the Cubans. The distribution of rations is n?)o‘?s s on wherever American forces are found in Cuba, as there is a stand(“ e issued by the Secretary of War to dole out the rations to the Cub ol ?rder ever application is made for them. o RED CROSS NURSE SHOOTS AND KILLS HIS BROT HER.

MANY DEATHS FROM NEGLECT STATEMENT MADE BY A RE- TURNING RED CROSS NURSE. Could Save Dozens of Lives on Five Cents a Day, Though the Gov- ernment Makes Liberal Provision. Correspondence of The Call. HONOLULU, Dec. 7.—The Scandia arrived yesterday morning from Ma- nila, having sailed from there on No- vember 15. She brings a number of officers, ninety-one discharged and fur- loughed men and two Red Cross nurses. She brings the largest mail that ever left Manila, 213 sacks for San Francisco and one for Honolulu. She will sail for San Francisco on or about Decem- ber 10. One of the returning Red Cross nurses said: ‘“Scores of the soldier boys are dying in the hospitals at Ma- nila for want of proper nourishment. They say the Government allows 60 cents a day for each patient. I could save dozens of lives on § cents a day. Oh, the utter woe of the hospitals, the helplessness of them. Men as bright and noble as God ever made, giving up to death, hoping for it, seeking it, tak- ing poison, doing anything that will end the despair that comes upon them. ‘““‘Seelng nothing before them but days of pain and nights of wretchedness, without proper care, without proper food, with no one to give them sym- pathy, to write to friends, to soothe aching brows or moisten parched lips, if by sheer endurance of nature or ob- stinacy of vitality they do get better there is before them nothing but the still more cheerless period of convales- cence with the probability of relapse, and the old weariness of despair to be suffered again. No wonder there are six or seven funerals a day. No won- der the dead house is never empty. “And outside the hospital and even in it, such indifference. Petty consid- eration aof rank and position, squabbles about precedence, lack of consideration in prescribing and preparing food, while men are dying, not merely of hearthunger, but for want of nourish- ment. “I have gone through the wards day after day, and as I spoke to this one and that, and they poured out their sorrows, men who do not wear thelr hearts on their sleeves cried from pure | agony of thelr loneliness. and despair, made poignant and vivid by their own telling of it. “I got so I simply could not go through the wards. What could I do? 1 saw the need of care, of proper nour- ishment, of the most ordinary hospital treatment, and was utterly helpless to do anything; just one cog in the great, remorseless, grinding machine whose material was noble men and whose grist was death.” Miss Schaefer was one of the first Red Cross nurses to go to Manila. She went from here on the Arizona, arriving at Manila on September 26. She returned as attending nurse to the sick among the ninety wrecks of robust manhood who are returning as invalided soldiers. She went a strong woman in good health. She left Manila November 15 weighing fifty pounds less than when she started from San Francisco. “I do not mean that all in the hospi- tals are careless or indifferent,” she continued. “Many are trying to do thelr best. There is a lot of worthiness and unselfishness among the attendants at the hospitals. But there is so much inexperience and so many clogs to those who would do much. To think of an attendant going through a ward with a pail of beef broth, ladling out to the fifty or sixty patients indiscrimi- nately a tin cup full of it. In the whole pallful there was not enough nourish- ment for one, even if it were made of the best materfal. But what it really was made of I shut my eyes and refuse to imagine. In a whole.ward there is not more than one nurse of experience, and for helpers only one or two awk- ward boys who perhaps never saw a sickroom before. Do their best and what can they accomplish? Let no one speak slightingly of the women who have lately gone on to Manila as army nurses. Any woman who works as she will have to work if she goes into the tents at all will deserve the tear of the recording angel which will blot out all she may have transgressed in the past or all she may be guilty of in the fu- ture.” Colonel George W. Macfarlane re- turned by the Coptic and brings word that the Comptroller of the Currency has guaranteed to Perry S. Heath, First Asgistant Postmaster General, and his associates that he will issue the char- ter for the new bank in which James Campbell and himself are interested as soon as Congress extends the territor- {al laws to Hawali. That will probably be very soon. Private John V. Springsteen, Com- pany G, First New York, died at the military hospital of pneumonia on the Gth. He had been sick but a short time. BEATEN BY SALOON-KEEPERS. J. P. Quigley the Victim of a Barroom Fight and May Die From His Injuries. J. P. Quigley is lying unconscious in the Harbor Receiving Hospital, suffering from a beating administered by Joseph Trautmann, proprietor of a saloon at 630 _Clay street, and Mark Hoffman, his bar- keeper. His wounds were dressed by Drs. Diggins and Zabala, who say the man's injuries may prove fatal. The story of the affair as told by Traut- mann and Hoffman IS to the effect that Quigley came into the saloon yesterday afternoon and after drinking went over to the lunch counter. While Quigley was standing there a hanger-on about the galoon informed Trautmann that Quigley had a number of drinking glasses in his pocket, evidently stolen from the counter when the barkeeper’s back was turned. Trautmann accosted Quigley and at- tempted to take the glasses away, when the latter rebelled, catching the proprie- tor by the throat. Hoffman sprang to his employer’s assistance and pinfoned Quig- ley's arms behind him, while the glasses were taken from him. They then tried to throw him out, but he resisted, and after a brief mix-up Quigley fell to the floor unconscious. O&cem T. Furlong and J. E. Maloney placed Trautmann and Hoffman under arrest, charging them with battery, and sent Quigley to the hospital. Trautmann and Hoffman were released on bail. e T e Pupils’ Musicale. THEIR DEAD AS SACRED AS OUR OWN Hearts of the South Warm to McKinley. NOTABLE SPEECH AT ATLANTA LAST TRACE OF SECTIONALISM HAS BEEN WIPED OUT. Presidential Party in Attendance at the Peace Jubilee Receives a Most Enthusiastic ‘Welcome. Specfal Dispatch to The Call, ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 14.—The Presi- | dential party arrived in Atlanta at 8| o'clock this morning over the Southern | Railway. The weather was more crisp than most of the party anticipated. watched the train as it flew past the wayside stations. At Gainesville, where a short stop was made, about 200 persons were at the station and in- spected the train with curiosity. From there on to Atlanta there came waving welcomes with an occasional cheer, but there was nothing in the nature of a | demonstration. | i al | At the Union depot, in Atlanta, large crowd was assembled and rousing cheer went up as the train came to a standstill. General Joe Wheeler was the first to alight. A strong chorus of cheers| greeted the distinguished Alabaman, who, accompanied by the members of the reception committee, made his way to a carriage. When the President ap- peared on the rear platform of his car a hearty - cheer« was given him. The welcome to the members of the Cabi- net was very cordial. The ladies of the jubilee committee extended a greeting to the ladies of the Presidential party, after which the President and those ac- companying him were escorted to the Kimball House. The party included the following: President and Mrs. McKinley, Secre- tary of the Treasury and Mrs. Gage, Secretary of War and Mrs. Alger, Sec- retary of the Navy and Miss Long, Postmastér General and Mrs. Smith Secretary of Agriculture and Miss Wil- son, Secretary -to the President Porter and Mrs. Porter and Mr. Barnes, ex- | ecutive clerk; Major General Joseph Wheeler and Miss Anna Wheeler, Ma- jor General Henry W. Lawton and Mrs. | Lawton, Captain Scherer, U. S. A, Dr. P. A. Rixey, U. S. N. A few minutes before 1 o’'clock the President’s party was assigned to car- riages and, escorted by fifty mounted police and the members of Governor Chandler’s staff, started for the capitol. Upon his arrival at the capitol he was greeted with a fleld artillery salute and was at once escorted to Governor Chandler's office. There was a short informal reception there. Upon its conclusion the President, followed by members of the Cabinet, was conduct- ed to the Assembly chamber, where he occupied the Speaker's chair with Gov- ernor Chandler on his right. When President Dodson of the Senate called the Legislature to order the galleries were thronged with men and women. The Speaker rapped for silence and in- troduced the President to the audi- ence. As the President rose the audi- ence applauded. During the course of his short speech Mr. McKinley referred often to his notes and constantly | paused for cheers to stop. A scene of intense enthusiasm followed when. amid impressive silence, these words fell from the lips of the President: “Every soldier’s grave made during the unfortunate civil war is a tribute to American valor. And while. when those graves were made we differed widely about the future of the Gov- ernment, those differences were long ago settled by the arbitrament of arms—and the time has now come in the evolution of sentiment and feeling under the providences of God. when. in the spirit of fraternity, we should share with you in the care of the graves of the Confederate soldiers.” A wild cheer went up from every throat in the audience, a cheer that echoed and re-echoed throughout the chamber until it was taken up by the crowds outside. Old men who fought for the South rose from their seats and waved their hats. One Confederate veteran, now a venerable legislator. had pressed forward until he was lean- ing against the Speaker’s deck. hang- ing on each word the President ut- tered. When the reference was made to the Confederate dead this old man buried his head in his arms and while cheers rang out cried like a little child. Of all the many conciliatory speeches which have been made since Grant said, “Let there be peace,” nothing has more deeply stirred a Southern audi- ence than the simple words of Presi- dent McKinley. General Wheeler followed the Presi- dent, and was received with wild en- thusiasm. Generals Lawton and Young spoke briefly and received a warm welcome. The session then adjourned and those present were presented to the Presi- dent. The prettiest and most novel event of the day’s festivities occurred during the afternoon. It was a floral parade in which all the people of the city took part, and the first of its kind ever given in the city. The President and his es- corts preceded the parade to the re- viewing stand, at the corner of Peach street and Ponce, de LeoA avenue. As each carriage passed the stand the oc- cupants saluted the President and waved flags, to which the executive re- sponded graciously. To-night the members of the Capitol City Club opened their clubhouse to the President and guests of the city. The | occasion was notably brilliant. The re- | celving party consjsted of a number of | Atlanta’s representative women and a large company of club members. The decorations were flags, American smilax and American beauty roses.
