The judge's decision practically was to the effect that as the case stands, at present, there was nothing absolutely against Sullivan except the fact that he was an enemy of Cronin's, and that Cronin was just as bitter an enemy of his.

State department officials are not* yet certain whether or not the Bamoan agreement should be made public before the meeting of congress. As a formal treaty pertaining to International questions it will have to be submitted to the senate, but as a simple agreement the state department has power to make public its'provisions at its discretion. The Catholie Church of America in fairly arrayed against the liquor traffic loth by authoritative declarations as a body and the burning individual words of iti distinguished leaders. The utterances of the Plenary Council which met in Baltimore in 1884 are well known. They tubetantially placed the ban of the church upon the entire whisky business, advising all good catholics to abandon it as soon aa possible, and insistirg upon absolute prohibition of the sale of intoxicants on Sunday. Closely following upon them came tbe declaration of the 0. T. A. U.of America,htld at Notre Dame, Ind, in 1886, which said: r* A Strange Suicide. ASSOCIATION. Providence, June 15.—An unknown man, about 85 years of age, watched the coir lege boys' procession across the big bridge at Market square. He waved his hat when the brilliant foatures passed and when the ballet corps passed he shouted wildly and hat in the air. Then some student gave the strange man a lighted Roman candle, and, picking up his hat, he fairly flew away ac%ss the bridge in the opposite direction from which the queer parade was going. Passing down South Water street, he threw his Roman candle over the bridge railing and ran to the unprotected dock of the Shore Transportation company, from which he leaped into the black and sewer like river. Several boys who had followed him threw him a rope, which he clutched and Anally let go of. Then he swam into the middle of the river and was drowned. As he jumped from the dock he threw off his hat and shouted, "Good-by I" and again, as he went down for the last time, he said: "Go it, boys. Goodby once more!"

The treaty guarantees an autonomous administration to the Samoan Islands under the Joint control of Germany and America, with England acting as arbitrator in the event of differences arising between the joint controlling powers. Athletic.. St. Louis. .1 00020200 8—8 2 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0—5 In his review of the evidence Judge Tuley said: "Haggerty's evidence is the most important in regard to the respondent. At the time of Cronin's trial for treason Sullivan made the statement that Cronin was a dangerous man to the Irish cause and ought to bo removed. The impresston gained by Haggerty from conversations with Sullivan was that the latter wanted Cronin put out of the way. This substantially is the only evidence that Sullivan made a threat or suggested that Cronin's life ought to be taken. If we reject the declarations of Cronin as to threats made against him by SullivaD and the tear of his life from thai source, there is no evidence bearing directly on Sullivan, c xcept the testimony of Haggerty. There is nothing of a direct character to connect the respondent with the crime. I think that the coroner's jury mas largely influenced by hearsay evidence in its verdict, though suspicion points strongly towards Sullivan. The.jury would have failed in their duty had they not held Sullivan for the grand jury, but they were particular not tc say 'without bail.' The evidence fails to show any overt act on the part of Sullivan to satisfy his revenge. I do not think any jury would convict Sullivan on the evidence before me: Alter maturo deliberation and very considerable hesitation I have come to the conclusion that the defendant is entitled to bail, which should be fixed Nit such an amount as to insure the appearance of the respondent."

He had a firm hold on an iron post, as the water was a foot and a half deep and very swift, and he thought himself secure. Presently he let go of the post to get the ball which had slipped beyond his reach, when the boy and ball were swept down the filthy sewer. A man went down after him, but he was not visible. From the mouth of the sewer at the Spring garden back to where the little fellow fell in search was made, but no boy was found.
