to a window, looked out for a few min

bay, lie faced the crowd of men In the
room mid asked In n shaking voice:
"What In the punishment for offenses
of this kind in Indiana' Hoes the
death penalty exist there?"
"Never mind about the penalty. Hath
bun." said Captain Sullivan. "What
we arc interested In Is the name of the
dead man."
For a moment Uathbun looked at the
group of faces before lilm and then
8a Id:
"You aro on the right track, (iood
inan Is the mime of the dead man. I
met him in front of the Salvation Ar
my hotel and determined to keep him
drunk' for several days and then tlx

When questioned further, Itathbun
denied liming given tioodman lauda
num and said lie would have made
use of chloroform. He then refused
to go back to Indiana without requisi
tion papers.
Colonel John 1). Uodniau, Unit oil
States recruiting officer here, notified
Chief Sullivan that no requisition will
bo necessary for the return of Uath
bun to Jeffersonvllle. He says that
Itathbun Is now a government prison

as lie can communicate with Washing

over.
The Jeffersonvllle authorities will
make claim for the custody of Uath

Just before lie was taken back to jail
Itathbun made the following statement
to Chief of Detectives Sullivan:
"I admit everything except that 1 kill

kept him drunk for the purpose, but In1
died of alcoholism, and I was not forced

I'AUIS, Xov. 11. The French for
eign ollice has announced that the sul
tan has signed an Irnde for the execu
tion of his engagements with the
rench government and that the Fran
co-Turkish dispute Is now at an end.
Tewlik l'ashu, Ottoman minister of
foreign affairs, wrote a letter to M.
liapst, councilor of the French em
bassy In Constantinople, notifying him
of the signing of the irnde, which,
while settling the original French de
mauds, accepts the fresh demands, ns
set forth lu a dispatch to the Temps
from Constantinople Friday, together
with an additional clause by which the
sultan pledges himself to consider as
authorized in full right the foundations,
extensions, constructions and repairs of
I ho schools and religious and hospita
ble establishment!! which France may
desire to carry out if the porte is ad
vised of her Intentions and makes no
objections within live months.
France has thus received full satis
faction, and M. Delcasse on the re
ceipt of M. Rapst's dispatch telegraph
ed him to inform Tewlik Pasha that
diiilomatie relations had been resumed
and that M. liapst should consider hlni'
self as regularly charged with the af

Instructions were ulso sent to Admi
ral Caillard at Mltyleiie to re-embark

WASHINGTON, Xov. lX-The most
Important feature of the report of the
board of visitors to the West Point
Military academy is a iciiinimeiid.it Ion
that the academy be rebuilt. The re
port says:
"It has lieeu nearly a hundred years
since West Point was founded, and
from the birth of the Institution nearly
all the Improvements have been on the
patchwork plan. There is bt. one build
ing constructed by the gov rninent at
the jiost that Is In harmonl with this
day and generation. All the others are
old, uncomfortable and entirely inade
quate to meet present conditions. Few
of tin' in lire equipped with any of the
conveniences now to be found In the
nrerage public school building In the
country districts of many of the states.
It can be truthfully said that there Is a
pressing necessity for a comph te tear
ing down nnd a new building up. The
policy pursued lu this regard at Annap
olis should be speedily adopted at West
Point. Xotliing can be gained by post
ponement. Indeed It seems to the board
that almost every dollar spent In the
future for 'enlarging hero and nltering
and patching there' Is so much money
thrown nway. The enlarged duties and
responsibilities of the military as re
lated to the recently enlarged sphere of
Amerienn iutluence and power are such
as not only to Justify but force congress
to proper recognition of the deninnds of
the Military academy.
"Putting the matter In a few words,
it can be truthfully said that the bar-

by a number of young ladies and gen
tlemen who congregated about his
front door to listen, says the Haiti

throw water on them, because his
wife objected, she not appearing to
be much worried over the presence of
the mob, which was nightly increas

a method which' the neighbors say
Is "just like him." He has a recorder
with his machine. The other night,
without the knowledge of his wife,
he sunf a "soup;" into the grapho

began to grind oat some of the latest
and most popular airs, the crowd bc
pan to come. When he thought all
had arrived he placed the cylinder

"Well, rubbernecks," it began,
"isn't this a good free show? Girls,
.ho are those lobsters you are with?
Aren't you rather thirsty? Hoys,
why don't you take the girls down
to the drug store and buy them a
soda water? Have none of you got
homes? Do your mothers " And
here the machine stopped, for it was
useless to say any more the crowd
had fled. The young man got a se
vere lecture from his wife, but he did
not mind that very much. Xow he
seems perfectly contented, for the
boys and girls do not play on
pavement any more.

P.OSTOX, Nov. 13. A little under a
qunrter of a million was the loss by an
all day tire which started in the seven
story granite building at the corner of
P.road and Franklin streets, occupied
by the Murphy Varnish company. A
steady rain last night helped out the
tire department amazingly. The fire
proved unusually stubborn because of
the nature of the stock on tire. Varnish
tanks exploded during the morning,
and blazing fluid ran in all directions
on the surface of the water. About
J.'i.imhi gallons of varnish was burned.
The lire broke out at 1:30 and for au
hour was exceedingly tierce lu aspect,
nnd then It died down. The firemen
thought they had It under control.
Then small explosions, probably of
varnish barrels, began, and later two
Immense tanks went up. In conse
quence the walls of the building will
lie razed for safety.

many of the rooms throe cadets are

uotlous of a cent dry ago and is simply
execrable."
Features of the present arrange
ment which are specially condemned
re the electric light and gas plants, no
water or sanitary arrangements In the
barracks and no bathrooms, the lack of
church facilities and the hotel, which Is
Jescrlbfd as "a mere hut." The water
supply also Is threatened, and a water
famine Is Imminent nearly every sum

thnt hazing has been eradicated. Full

l'he report also says that the sturdy
support given Colonel Mills by the sec

basis.

equal to that of naval cadets.
