that the dispute would be settled
honorably and that no American Mood
would be sited. The fact that the
Senate amended the bill could not be
construed in any way as meaning that
the Senate did not stand firmly by
tbe President. The amendments
would ituprore the bill and he had no
doubt If made ’hey would be accepted
by the Mouse “It seems to me," he
continued, “that all this is too hasty;
that we arc too eager, lest Us take

Mismbacouth Mina, Dec 21.-The
ante-mortem statement of Harry Hay
ward. making 30,(Ml words, is in many
respects a most remarkable document.
It was made under the most formal
conditions and with solemn assertions
on the murderer's part that he was
telling the truth. Not only does he
claim to hare murdered during bis
brief career, no less than dve different
people, but iu describing the various
tragedies in which he figured he shows
an litter absence of human feeling,
and a pleasure in hia achievements
tnst marks him as an unusual type of
criminal. The language used in de
scribing nik miuumi auvcniura* is in
tin; careleae, flippant style that char
acterised hi* testimony on the ktand.
