Presently they re-entered by the

at the tables. He held a revolver to
ward Dr. J. H. Turner, who was eating
his supper, and told him to throw up
bis hands. The doctor waa surprised
and henitated, whereupon the robber
fired full in his face, killing the doctor
instantly and scattering blood and
brains all over the corner of the cafe.
Then the dexperado attacked another
guest, C. B. Bishop, and shot him in
the left side. Withoit securing any
booty the ruffians fled. Bishop was
taken to a bonpital and is in a critical
condition.
The robbers in their ewape were fired
upon by a policeman and his bullet

Position of Qermany Regarding Cuban
Reciprocity Treaty.
Berlin, March 17. Germany, as soon
as the reciprocity treaty between Cuba
and the United States is ratified, will
ak both the Cuban and the United
States government for identical priv.
i leges. It is also intimated that other
governments intend to request the
same treatment. While annoyed at
the prospect of the United Statea'
trade having lower tariffs in Cuba than
that of Germany, no one supposes tnat
even a collective protest on the part of
the continental conntriea would cause
either the United States or Cuba to
recede. But Germany's position is to
be defined clearly, si, tbat the United
States may not complain when Germany
gives other na-ions preference in trade
treatment.
Tbe principle which the Gnrmana la.
down in entering opon correspondence
concerning new commercial treaties is
"give and take." The most favored
nation theory is really abandoned.
Special conventions are -to be drawn
up to fit different situations. This
principle seems to be accepted by Rus
sia, Austria and Italy, and the trade
policies are to rest upon the recinro.
city idea.
What is the subject of more concern
here is that, should the Cuban treaty
be accepted and found to work well
be arranged by

President Selects the Name for On of the
New Veascla.
Washington, March 18. The selec
tion of the name "Idaho" for one of
the 13,000 ton battleships was made by
direction of the president at a com pi l
ment to Senator Heyburn, the Republi
can senator from that state. President
Roosevelt bad conversed with Senator
Heyburn several times, and at once
formed a very great liking for him. As
soon as the naval bill was passed and
the queston of naming the battleships
came up the president insisted that one
should bear the name of Idaho, and so
directed Secretary Moody. Senator
neyonrn preierreu no such request as
this, although he appreciated tbe cour
tesy. When he called .on the presi
dent yertorday he was told that the
selection of Idaho was a compliment to
him, and mado for no other purpose.

Our Control of Isthmus.

ral Rafael Reyes, vice president of Co
lombia, who reached tbe isthmus two
days ago from Mexico, waa interviewed
here today by a press representative.
V itn reference to the Hay-Herran con

tory rights to maintain free transit
across the isthmus and its manner of
enforcing these rights has created a
very unfavorable impression through
