I LIVNG OKaPY of Exploring Party on Welle River. Lucky. TLONDON, May 21.—Captaln Boyd Alexander of the Alexander Gosling expedition reports from the Angu dis- trict on the river Welle, Congo Free State, that he has secured a specimen jof the okapk! which the experition saw allve. No white man ever before has seen a llving okapl. The announce- ment greatly interests zoologists. The okapl was first described by Sir Harry Johnston, who found a dead one in the Semliki forest and drew a picture of the animal. The head is described as being that df a giraffe, but there are no external horns. The okapl is about four and a half feet high at the withers. The tail is rather short and the neck short and thick. The coloring of the animal is its most extraordinary feature. Tho cheeks and jaws are yellowish white, contrasting with a dark colored neck. The forehead and a line down to the muzzle are a deep red chestnut and the large broad ears are of the sfame tint, fringed with blagk. The neck, shoulders and body range in tone from sepla and jet black to red; the belly is blackish and the tail chestnut, with a small black tuft. The hind quar- ters and legs are either snow white or pale cream, touched here and there with orange and marked with purple black horizontal stripes and blotches. —_— SEEK TO PREVENT HEARING OF THE LOU DILLON CASE Review Board of Natlonal Trotting Assoclation Is Enjoined From Holding Investigation.

BATOUM, May 21.—W. H. Stuart, the American Vice Consul, was shot and killed at his country place last night. " The assassin escaped. Stuart was a British subject and one of the largest !‘hlp brokers and export- ers of Batoum. During the revolution- ary troubles of last fall his life was many times threatened by longshore- men and at “Christmas a deputation visited * Stuart’s office and pratically compelled him to give $1500 under the guise of a holiday gratuity for dock \aborers, Mr. Stewart, having dined at the house of a friend, was returning to his country place at Manzladjani, five miles from Batoum. He was fired op twice from a clump of trees half a mile from'his home, one bullet piercing his leg and another his breast. Mr. Stearne, the British Vice Consul at Novo Rosslisk, who was~a “guest at Stuart’s house, hearing the shooting, ‘hurried out with the servants and found Mr, Stuart lying on the ground, bleeding from his wounds. He was still consclous, but said he would not be able to recognize his assassin, owing to the darkness. Stuart was conveyed to a military barracks in the.vicinity, where he expired two hoursilater. The body was transported to the consulate at Batoum. Aside from tha troubles during the revoluticgu '.d!et.urbnnces last fall ; L, had no friction with latlon. He was so enerally pected that he was on several occaslons called upon to act as intermediary during the racial war between the Tartars and the Ar- meénfans, saving the llves of several of the latter. Stuart, who was 49 years old, spent the greater part of his life in Russia, the last twelve years in Batoum. Be- sides his officigl connections he had extensive business relations through- out the entire Caucasus. 'He spoke several native-dlalects and was con- | sidered an authority on'land. The police have no trace of the mur- derers: WASH‘N’GTON May 21.—Vice Con- sul Stuart, who ‘was klilled at Batoum, was an Englishman, 49 years old, and had filled the position for about two years. At the time of his death he was acting Consul. “The State Department recelved con- firmation of the murder of Stuart in IMARINES - SAIL WITH CRUISER Columbia Departs on Se-= cret Orders for the South. Revolutionary Disorders Expected on_ the Isthmus. PHILADELPHIA, May 21— The cruiser Columbia salled from the League Island Navy-yard today un- der secret orders, with 600 marines aboard. It is understood that she will g0 to Guanatanamo and thence to Santo Domingo. WASHINGTON, May 21.—More than 6000 marines will confront Lib- eral leaders on the Isthmus of Panama in case they attempt to pro- mote riots and revolution at the time of the election in Panama on June 20. Although the canal zone is under the Secretary of War there is no indica- tion that the War Department will have any troops near the isthmus at the time of the approaching election, and Secretary Taft may rely upon the marine corps to protect the canal zone. More than 200 marines are on the isthmus at present. Thess are un- der command of Major C. G. Long. More than 400 marines ars on the Co- lumbla, which is on its way to Guan- tanamo and will be within'easy call Panama. The zons police force has been strengthened materially and is so well equipped that it is in reality’ a minia- ture army, and is ready for service at any time. TUnder the leadership of the well trained marines it is believed | the police force will be able to quell any disturbance which may arise. Secretary Root and Secretary Taft have also made it clear that they will take a hand in disturbances outside of the zone. and if the Liberals begin any movement against the present Government of Panama it will be with full knowledge that the United States expects to intervene In disturbances which will delay the canal work or affect it in any way.

No detalls of the crime were glven, Embassador Meyer having taken cognizance of'the case, the State Department officlals do not believe that it requires action at thelr hands at this moment. KALISZ, Russian Poland, May 21— A second attempt on the life of Count Keller, a colonel of dragoons and nephew of Lieutenant General Coust Keller, who was killed on July 29, 1904, during the war with Japan, was made today by a Jewish revolutionist, who threw a bomb at the colonel while he was riding in a suburb. Colonel Keller, though receiving more than thirty wounds from splinters of the bomb, was saved from instant death by the too good aim of his assaflant, the bomb exploding directly beneath the body of Colonel Keller's horse, which recelved the major portion of the charge. The wounded man may recover, The explosion shattered the windows |in all the adjacent houses and rup- tured the eardfums of Colonel Keller's alde-de-camp. The bomb-thrower attempted to escape, but became entangled in a hedge and was arrested by pursuing soldlers, who were forced to use their sabers before they could subdue him. He was severely wounded. Colonel Keller's activity in suppress- ing disturbances here and in this vicinity had made him many enemies. in case the politics become stormy in | al6NG TREATY WITH MEXICO Secretary Root Ends Dis- "~ pute Over Water Rights. Rio Grande’s Flow to Be Diverted for Irri- i gation. ‘ WASHINGTON, May 21-~Secretary Root, for the United States, and Em- | bassador Cacasus, for the Mexican Government, today signed a treaty regulating the use of the waters of the | Rio Grande which, it approved by the| Senate, will remove what has been for twenty years past a source of fric- tion in the relations of the two coun- tries. For almost a century. the Mexicans living along the lower river have made large use of {ts waters for the purpose of irrigating their lands. But in re- cent years private companies on the upper waters in the United stues{ have, by the construction of wing| dams, diverted a large part of the water to this side of the river. The Mexicans have presented claims for the damage sustained, but so far with- out success. Now the plans of the reclamation service have made it certaln that prac- tically all of the water will be retained on American soil until some proper scheme of division can be arranged. The construction of the $7,000,000 dam across the Rio Grande at Engel, N. M., brought the matter to a climax and led to negotiatfons between the two countries which culminated in the treaty signed today. The underlying principle of the con- vention 1s the recognition of the com- mon-law right of the Mexicans to a fair share of the waters of the river; but, as the United States Government is to foot the entire expense of bulld- ing the great dam and canals, the Mexican share 1s only a fractional pro- pertion of the whole flow. It is esti- mated that the impounded waters will suffice to irrigate about 200,000 a.cres’ of otherwise arid land, and it is stip-| ulated that of this total 60,000 acre| feet of water, which is to make ara- ble about 25,000 acres of land, will be| dellyered on the Mexican side of the border each year. For its part, the Mexican Government guarantees the United States Government against any suit for liability on account of claims of individual Mexicans who have so far suffered through the diversion of ‘water. Opposition to the treaty is expected on the part of some of the Western Senators, who express the bellef that either the United States is entitled to all of the water without compensation, in view of the great expense to which it has been put by the work of con- structing the firrigating dams and ca- nals, or that, if the Mexican right is| to be recognized at all, its title should be purchased outright by a cash pay- | ment.
