London, Nor. 10. Th brilliancy of

qaot at Uio Oulld hall yesterday even
ing wns somewhat marred by tho to
kens of mourning for tho Into duchess
of Took. A number of ladles present
worn gown of black or dark material.
Tho entranco of tho marquis of Sails
bury, prlmo minister, and Arthur J.
Dal four, first lord of tho treasury, was
tho signal for loud ntiplnuso, but the
inception tendered to the foreign dip
1( mats was of thp tamest character as
compared with tho enthusiasm whloh
last year grcotod tho then ambassador
of tho United States, Thomas P. Day
ard.
After tho usual loyal and formal
toasts, tho marquis of Landsdowno,
ecorctary of stato for war, responded
for "Tho Array."
In tho course of his speech ho otilo
Cliod "the gallant work being dono on
our Indian frontlen especially by ths
troops of thoao native rulers who havo
long wished to stand shoulder to
nhoutdor with us."
Ho then proceeded to point out tho
necessity of nn Inarcaso of tho army to
most "lbf requirements of Imperial ex
panslon."
Tho marquis of Salisbury was greet
ed with several minutes of continuous
chocrlng. Ho began by deploring tho
engineers' dispute, which, ho said, "In
voIvm tho future prosperity or disaster
of tho country." but ndded that ho was
glad to say thero was "a renowed pros
pect thnt the board of trades' Intervon
tlon would provo successful."
His lordship read n tolcgrnm from
tho p.ueen asking him to express how
deeply hor majesty folt tho marvelous
display of loyalty to Uio crown nnd
to hor person at tho diamond Jublleo
festivities.
Aftor reforring to tho conduct of tho
-troops on Uio Indian frontlor In terms
similar to thoao used by tho martinis
of Lnnsdowno, and -varrnly praising
tho conduct of tho Anglo-Hgyptlan ox

SENSATIONAL SHOOTING.

Attorney, Killed.
Canton, Nov., Nov. 10. Tho cntlro
stnlo was startled and shocked nt Uio
murder Into yosterdny aftornoon of
Charles A. Joneo, United States ills
trlct attorney, by Julian (Julnan, Uio
10-yenr-oId son of a well-known local
physician.
Tha promluonco of nil concerned
with the affair, tho attendant circum
stances nnd tho nuddonnoss of tho
tragedy inuko It ono of tho most sen
sational hnpponlngs In tho history of
Novado. Jones' death wns caused by
a ballot wound In tho head, nnd for n
tlmo mystery surrounded every clr
cumstanco connected with tho killing.
At first It was supposed that Jones
hnd committed sulcldo, but no weapon
being found on his person nor near
tho sccno of tho shooting, It became
ovldont thnt his death had boon caused
by another porson, and on hour lator
young (liilnan surrendered himself at
tho sheriff's oflleo and confessed to the
killing. Tho statomont of. tho youth,
who is now In Jail, Is to tho effect that
prior to tho shooting ho had obsorved
his sister talking to Jonos, with whom
his father had forbidden association,
when he saw Dr. (Julnan approaching.
Believing troiiblo to bo Inevitable
when tho two men mot, tho boy pro
cured n Winchester rlllo and stationed
hlmsolf nt a window, for tho purpose
of protecting his father.
Upon onoountorlng Jones, Dr. Out
nan said to him: "This Is tho last
tlmo I shall over warn you against
keeping company with my daughter."
Jones Jourcd at tho doctor In com
menting upon his warning, and slipped
his hand Into his pockot. Julian says
that having often heard his father
threaten to kill Jones, and having
been Informed that Janes always car
rlod n revolver, which ho bellovod
from Jones' motions wns about to bo
drawn, tho boy llrcd nt Jones In an
tlelnatlon of an attack upon his
fnthor. Jones fell forward dead, the
bullet from tho rifle having ontorod
nbovo his right eyo and passed out at
the neck behind. MIm Oiilnan, seeing
Junes fall, threw horsolt upon him
and ombraced tho dead body.
When the coroner took charge of the
remains, Jones' hand was still in his
pocket, but no weapon was found,
Jones was about J8 years of age, was
married and left n child nt his homo In
Ileno, from whence ho came yesterday
morning on official business. He was
neoeesarlly In Carson a part of his
time, and while hero his attentions to
the girl occasioned so much talk that
(luliian Iwd been aggravated Into
making threats against Jones which
Indirectly led to tho murder by the
doctor's son.

Chic ag In . Nor. 0. A special from
Martinson. W. Va.. says
Judge John J. Jackson handed down
a derision yesterday which holds that
n transfer ran not without n trial bo
made under the olvll service law, be
cause It Is equivalent to removal. Judge
Jackson Insists that the appointment
of n man to federal position undor tho
law gives him n right In equity to tho
place, which ho Is not forced to sur
render save for caiiso
Judge Jackson remarks In his docu
ment that tho leaving of discretion
ary powers In tho hands of tho hoods
of departments rqnkes tho civil servlco
law a dead letter. He rules that thero
Is no doubt tho olvll sorvlco law Is en
tirely constitutional.
Ills second finding Is that congress
has never delegated to the president
and tho commissioners legislative pow
ers. His third point declares that tho In
ternal roventio service has been placed
under the merit code, nnd ho nlso
holds that any attempt to chungo the
rank of ollleors In tlvo olvll servlco de
partments Is k violation of the law.
His final holding Is that n court of
equity has n right to sit In such caso
and has the Jurisdiction to restrain tha
appointing power from removing offi
cers from their positions, if such re
movals are shown 10 be in violation of
tho civil sorvicc act. Ho therefore or
dered that the mon who had been shift
ed from n good salaried place to n
small salaried plaeo should bo rein
stated.
Tho government authorities hero de
clare the ruling of the Judge will cause
great confusion, as Its findings nro far
from what had beon oxpectcd. He
practically has held thnt tho fact thnt
n mnn gets n civil service placo undor
tho government gives him n right li
equity to the salary nnd omolumonls
of tho ollleo whloh Is nbovo tho cnprlra
of the head of tho department. Accord
ing to Judge Jackson's decision It Is
Illegal to shift a man In ollleo unless
the salary nnd emoluments shall bo
the same. The change of assignment,
he says, Is equivalent In fact to a dis
missal, which sun not happen save un
der charges and n fulr trial.

"I was tho cook aboard tho Ollvo

which wns always coming Into the

tho next thing I knew tho captain was
calling for mo. I went to his cabin
mid ho commenced cursing me, telling
mo that this sort of thing hnd to stop.
I did not say anything to him, and ho
Lnrdercd mo Into his cabin to mako up
his bed. I mndo up bis bed, and he
ordered me out with n volley of oaths.
I saw ho was In n moan humor, nnd
determined to arm myself against him.
I know tho captain hnd ootno pistols In

of them. Just as soon an I entered,
tho captain fired n beer bottlo at mo,
and seeing that I dodged It, he picked
up a pistol from tho table and sent a
ball In my direction I 'got In rcy
hands n woapon, nnd of course I opened
firo on tho rascal My first bullet
took effect in his forehead and the sec
ond went Into his breast, killing him.
I then wont up on deck and called to

asking what I wanted. I told him to
como down, that tho captain wanted
him in tho cabin. He started down,
nnd whon ho reached tho deck I wont
for htm. Ho looked at mo, as It to
Inqulro my authority to order him
about, and I lovoled tho weapon at his
old, bo-whlskorod head, saying at tho
snmo time: "Now dlo llko tho dog jou

went down Into the cnbln, thinking I
would bo nhlo to tako tho ship myself.
I saw that tho captain was n ghost, and
I camo upon deck again. Tho mato
was groaning, nnd I folt It my duty to
put him out of his misery. Ono moro
shot did that. I secured tho captain's
othor pistol, and aftor giving tho mato
anothor bullet, I startod toward tho
crew, who wero aft, with n pistol In

part In tho negotiations. !ntcr in Uio
day n dispatch from Ottawa reserved
apartments for Sir Wilfrid and Sir
Louis ami party nt Uio Bhorohnm, be
ginning next Tuesday evening. The
British ombnssy was not advised, how
ever, and It was understood that the
British foreign ofllco was equally un
nwaro of tho fact that tho chief offi
clnls of Canada would como to Wash
Ington to treat In person on Uio sub
Jcct. Up to this tlmo tho British a
thorltles had strenuously Insisted that
Uio Bering sen meeting was to bo con
fined to an exchange of technical In
formation botweon "experts" and they
havo resisted any largor consideration
of tha subject which would Involvo
general principles.
ImtA Salisbury's letter to Secretary
Sherman carefully limited tho meeting
to ono of "experts," nnd In execution
of this Prof. Thompson was named as
the British expert and Prof. Macoun as
tho oxport of Canada, Notwithstanding;
this strict limitation adopted at Ixn-
dou, tho two chief officials of Canadn
will como to Washington prepared to
discuss tho subject from a much broad
er standpoint than any thus for con
ceded In I-ondon.
Sir Wilfrid I-nurkr Is rcgnnlcd as
tho head of that element In Canada fa
vorable to tho most cordial relations
with tho United States. Ho has not
been an annexationist, but has favored
tho most liberal trado nrrangomcnta
with tho United States. Horotoforo his
efforts and thoso of his party associ
ates townrd securing a reciprocity
treaty with tho United Stntos havo
been unavailing, but within tho luit
few days tho stnto department hoc In
timated that It would view with favor
negotiations for reciprocity botweon
Canada and the United Blatea. Tho
coming of Sir Wilfrid nt Oil it.ltmo Is,
therefore, of more than usual Interest,
not only In Its bearing on Bering sea
negotiations, but also In connecUon
wlUi Canadian reciprocity.
