T1IK AMENDED TREATY.
Chicago luter-Ocean: The IlayPauncefote treaty as amended and ratified by the senate is not what it should be. but the most objectionable feature has been eliminated, and the amendments are all in the direction of protecting American interests and safeguarding the Monroe doctrine.
The preamble and article I. of the treaty are as submitted to the senate by the state department. Article 11. is changed so as to stipulate expressly that the new treaty supersedes the old, and the rules for neutralization are changed so as to provide that no stipulation as to neutralization shall apply to measures 'Which the United States may find it necessary to take for securing, by its own force, the defense of the United States and the maintenance of public order. Article 1IT of the treaty, declaring that "the high contracting parties will, immediately upon the exchange of the ratification of this convention, bring it to the notice of the other powers and invite them to adhere to it," is omitted.
The treaty, as ratified, abrogates or repeals all the provisions of the Clay-ton-liulwcr treaty. When it is remembered that in the Clayton-Bulwer compact'jthe United States bound itaolf never to occupy or fortify or colonize, or to assume or exercise any dominion over Nicaragua, Costa Rica, the Mosquito coast, or any part of Central America, and never to exercise any iniluenee for the purpose of acquiring or holding, directly or indirectly, any rights or advantages in regard to commerce or navigation through the Nicaragua canal which should not be offered on the same terms to Great Britain, the sweeping character of the stipulation is seen at a glance. The five words inserted in article 11 relieve the United States from all implications and conditions of article I. of the ClaytonBulwer treaty, and from all promise to regard the pretensions of Great Britain in Central America
The live rules as lo neutralization affected by the amendment provide that the canal shall be free and open, in time of war as in peace, to the vessels of commerce and of war of all nations, on terms of entire equality that the canal shall never be blockaded, nor any right of war exercised within it: that the vessels of war of a belligerent shall not take any stores in the canal and shall make quick transit: that no belligerent shall embark or disembark troops, munitions of war, or warlike materials in the canal, and that all these stipulations shall apply to waters adjacent to the canal .within three marine miles of either end, and that vessels of war of a belligerent shall not remain in such waters longer than twenty-four hours at any one time.
The amendment applies to these five stipulations or provisions, and declares that not one of the stipulations shall apply to measures which the United States may find it necessary to take for securing by its own force the defense of its own territory and the maintenance of public order. In effect, all the rules of neutralization as amended apply to other nations at war. but not to the United States when at war with any other power. Practically this puts the canal, in case of declaration of war by any European power against the
United States, in the military control of the United States. The elimination of article 111. disposes of the whole question of European concert, and closes every opportunity for supervision or interference by the .European powers under any conceivable circumstance. The fortification clause remains, but the amendment to article IE. renders this clause of little importance, because, if the United States when engaged in war is to have military control of the canal, the question of fortification cuts littlo figure.
The amendments in no way limit the privileges of Great Britain, except in case that power should be at war with the United States. The amended treaty contains nothing more offensive to England than the original Hay-Paunce-foto treaty. Diplomatically there are just as strong reasons for the acceptance of the amended treaty by England as there were for the acceptance of the original agreement.
As time passes and perjurers confess the vindication of Governor Mount for his action in the Kentucky requisition cases becomes more and more complete and gratifying.
THREE of the star witnesses in the Goebel murder case have confessed that they swore to lies against the accused. That $100,000 appropriated by the Kentucky legislature to prosecute seems to have been spent for a purpose that has a boomerang effect.

Ben Harbeson: "I was raised on a farm and have all my life made a close study of the ways and habits of birds and animals. 1 suspect that I know as much about quails as anyone does. I jam always amused, therefore, when I hear hunters say that when a covey survives the winter with a dozen birds alive that there will be several broods raised by them. This is not so. A covey of twenty may remain intact when breeding time comes in the spring and only one pair of them will raise young. They seem somehow to make a selection of a suitable pair and these two will do the nesting for the whole covey, maybe raising two broods during the season. The others will scatter but won't raise young, and in the fall the young and old come together in covey again. I have made careful note of this fact titne'and again and am willing to take oatli on the matter. I suspect, however, that if in the spring the covey were caught, divided into pairs,separated by miles they would all raise young, but where they are left together on their old range they simply wont. One pair willjdo all the nesting and I guess they pick out the best pair as the breed hasn't deteriorated since have been a quail hunter.''
"When Twas younger tliah am how I was quite an equestrian and enjoyed horseback riding,"' said Geo Dickerson, the grocer. "And the other day I thought I would take a horseback ride just to see how it went. 1 had not been on a horse's back for years, and I took quite along jaunt, it was fine wh ileit lasted, but the next morning my legs felt like a pair of compasses and I did not get the soreness out of them for a week. The next time I go horseback riding it will be in a buggy.'"

the
Dr. Hillis, of Lafayette, is a mighty clever gentleman and a rattling good physician, but he is an "expert witness" and has been at it along time. Naturally, therefore, he has frequently the misfortune to meet some of his testimony that rises before him like Banquo's accusing ghost. He got against a lively proposition at Monticello on Saturday where he testified for the state in the Lyda murder case. A special from that place says: "Yesterday afternoon was an important session of the trial. Dr. Hillis, a chemical expert, for many years connected with Purdue University, and a physician of twenty-two years' practice, had, at the request of Coroner
Bloom of Benton county, made an expert analysis of the contents of William Lyda's stomach and of his u'-ine. Dr. Hillis positively swore that the portion of Lyda's stomach submitted to him had come hermetically sealed in a glass jar that an analysis had bec-n carefully made by him of one-half the contents submitted to him, the other half having been preserved, hermetically sealed: that there had been no intrusion on nor tampering with the analysis that the color tests of contents of Lyda's stomach showed strychnine poison that the quantitative test showed threefourths of a grain of strychnine in the part of the stomach analyzed that a portion of the strychnine thus obtained administered to a mouse caused death, accompanied by the symptoms of strychnine poisoning. "Mr. Haywood, for the defense, who cross examined Dr. Hillis, had conducted the cross examination of Dr.
Hillis ten years ago, when he was an expert witness in the famous Pettit poisoning case at Crawfordsville. With a transcript of that case in his hand, Mr. Haywood confronted Dr. Hillis with the fact that he had then testified that there were no positive post-mortem conditions in the brain and spinal chord in cases of strychninc poisoning. The doctor said in reply that he had since changed his mind, as recent discoveries hau disclosed the fact that his position of ten years ago was an erroneous one."

A BLOODY TRAGEDY.

this woman he is not entirely to blame for the action he took, but if, as Mrs.,, Douglas says, 'He dosen't care' who I go with just so I get some money.' then he should not have shot them, for I guess it is man's nature to do as Frank did toward this woman."
Mrs. Parrish was accompanied here by a friend, Mrs. Stewart, who says that Mrs. Parrish has heart disease,and is afraid that the shock will result seriously to her, should her son die. I Wm. Coolman, the blacksmith, for whom Parrish worked, said: "Parrish I is one of the best mechanics I have ever I had and I thought lots of him. He never caused any trouble here and 1 knew nothing of his relations."
NOTES.
Douglas and his wife are cousins and were raised in this community. It is stated that Dovlc had a revolver Sunday but he did not use it at the Douglas place.
Douglas himself is considered a sort of a chuckle head and has always been dominated by his wife.
The preliminary trial of Douglas will not occur until the result of the victims can be determined.
It is said that Parrish and Doyle saw Lon Xook shortly before they started for the Douglas place and stated to him that they intended to "do Joe up."
THE CRAWFORDSVILLE WEEKLY JOURNAL.
Mrs. Parr is last Monday wanted to move her son to Richmond at once. The doctor, however, forbade as the man is well cared for where he is and a removal at present would certainly cause death.
Both Parrish aua Douglas made sworn statements to Coroner Dennis last Monday, which were essentially the same as those made earlier to THE JOURNAL. Doyle is in no condition to make a statement.
Doyle was a soldier in the Spanish war and as a member of the 18th U. S. infantrylparticipated in the battle of San Juan Hill.'QHe has always been a hard working young man but when drinking was troublesome.
The Douglas woman has frequently figured in the police court and is regarded as a bad character. Zacli Williams, who rents them the house, says he had frequently warned Douglas that trouble would follow the conduct of such a place as he kept.
The statement made by Douglas to THE JOURNAL last Monday does not coincide with the one he made to Marshal Brothers on Sunday. He then stated that he had shot Parrish through the window and that Doyle had run past just in time to get the second load. He claimed that he had shot Doyle accidentally.

BOB NOAKES.
The Boss Liar In the Goebel Case Finally Lets the Cat Out the Bag.
Bob Noakes was the star witness for the prosecution in the case against Caleb Powers who was tried at Georgetown, Ky., for complicity in the killing of Goebel. Noakes after the trial came to Crawfordsville where he was well known and stayed a few days with his uncle, James Blankenship. Then he went to Linden and spent some weeks living under an assumed name, Robert Mackelmore. He worked at husking corn and at the cellulosc factory and his perjury began to prey on his mind, especially after two of the other leading witnesses confessed that they had given perjured testimony against Powers. When Youtsey was convicted Noakes was unable to keep silence any longer. He wrote letters to Powers' attorneys at Louisville and also to Gen. Nelson and Col. Crawford, of Newport, attorneys for Youtsey. In these letters Noakes acknowledged that he had not stuck to facts in his testimony in the Powers case and that he knew considerable that would benefit the defense in the Youtsey case. He asked the attorneys to come to Crawfordsville and meet him either on Saturday night or Sunday at the Crawford house. This was six weeks ago and Gen Nelson and Col. Crawford came promptly here as directed. Noakes had said in his letter that he would make his statement in the presence of other parties if desirable, so two Crawfordsville gentlemen were called in. The voluntary witness did not appear on Saturday night and on Sunday morning shortly before noon
Col. Crawford sent a note to the residence of Mr. Blankenship addressed to Noakes and informing him that he was in the city and ready to hear the story. At the {Blankenship home the bearer of^the note was informed that Noakes was not there. He had arrived on Saturday morning and had spent the day there, having sent his trunk earlier in the week. On Saturday night about ten o'clock he went out telling the family to leave the door unlocked. This was the last the Blankenship family has seen of him and his trunk is still at their home. They informed Col. Crawford that day, however, that they thought Noakes had gone to Danville, 111., where a friend had promised him work. The Kentucky lawyers had not registered on arrival, and it is supposed that Noakes after leaving the Blankenship home either went to the hotel and was disappointed on not finding them on the register, or that he weakened and left town to avoid seeing them. They made no effort to follow him and went home Sunday evening. On Saturday last the following dispatch was sent out from Louisville: "Caleb Powers' attorneys to-day made public a statement secured December 9 at Danville, 111., from Robert Noakes, ex railroad conductor, one of the star witnesses for the prosecution in the
Powers trial for complicity in Mr. Goebel's assassination. It was originally designed to have been an affidavit, but Noakes, it is alleged, declined to sign it unless giVen $175. This was refused and he left, leaving the statement in the hands of Lawyes Louis, of Louisville and Jewell, of Danville. He is now supposed to have lefG the United States. "The affidavit says that Noakes, when ho heard that he was going to be arrested, retained Attorney J. C. Maynor, of Corbin, who he claims connived with Col. T. C. Campbell, leading attorney for the Goebels in the prosecution, to entrap Noakes into a damaging admission and secure him as a witness. While almost a total wreck from nervous strain and the use of stimulants, Noakes says he was coorced into making the statement in Campbell's room at Georgetown that he afterward swore to on the stand, embodying his testimony against Powers. At the time he was mentally and morally irresponsible.
"After Powers' conviction he says Arthur Goebel and Tom Campbell sent him to the farm of Jack Malloy at Madeira, O., where Wharton Golden and Finley B. Anderson had been established. While there Wharton Golden, he says, confessed to him that he had sworn falsely. He was 'broke' and went to Arthur Goebel for assistance, and the latter told him that he wanted him to return to Madeira and 'think up what he could on the men to be tried.' "Noakes savs Golden was given
book by Arthur Goebel containing his (Golden's) testimony, which Goebel told him to study. Golden spent much time reading this. At frequent intervals at Frankfort during the Howard trial Campbell told him to induce 'Dave' Chalwell for $ i00 to swear 'Jim' Howard had confessed to having killed Goebel from the window of Powers' otlice, and that Youtsey, Berry Howard and 'Dick' Combs were present. "Campbell, he-says,also induced him, immediately after Howard was convicted, to circulate a report that Howard on his way back to the cell had told him (Noakes) he would .'meet him in hell.' "Noakes says that on the night of

In Philadelphia some years ago a gentleman made a wager of $100 that he could jump into water eight feet deep and undress himself complete. Any one who has ever made the attempt to remove his clothing after being thoroughly drenched to the skin, even when standing on terra firma, with plenty of room to "hop around on one leg," will at once realize the difficulty of accomplishing the feat while in the water. However, it was done in the instance noted. A chap named Curtis in Berkshire county, Massachusetts, for a wager of a horse, ran live miles in forty-one minutes, and wound up the race with a jump of eleven feet six inches. An Englishman named Head won $5,000 by walking GOO miles in ten days, but the exertion so used him up that he never walked much afterward, either on wagers or otherwise.—New York Telegraph.
