DIAZ STABBED BY MEXICAN. IVohih s Probably Not Fatal?Assailant Arrested?Attack Occurred at Havana. Havana, Nov. 6.? Gen. Felix Diaz was stabbed by a Mexican at 10.30 o'clock tonisrht. He was wounded twice, probably not fatally. The attack on Diaz occurred while lie was walking on the Malecon. a fashionable promenade. He was wounded ttehind the ear and in the neck, besides receiving several blows, on the head from a cane. Diaz was removed to a hospital. His assailant was arrested. Gen. Felix Diaz escaped from Mexi co October i\, taking reiuge on Doara the United States gunboat. Wheeling at Vera Cruz. He was transferred to the Louisiana, then to the battleship Michigan, later being put aboard the steamer Esperanza, which reached Havana last Monday. Tracked by Conspirators. As long ago as October 15 the Cuban government was warned that a band of Mexican conspirators was planning to kill Diaz, who then was on his way from Europe to Mexico, and Diaz was O I j^losely guarded when he landed at Havana on his homeward voyage. There were rumors cr otner piois against his life, when it was learned that he was to return to Havana. A late Vera Cruz dispatch reported that Diaz had left behind him there ^alleged proof that an agent of the government ; was on his way to Vera Cruz ' with 1 orders to take Diaz to Mexico city,,: dead or alive.

When he arrived at Vera Cruz Oc-! tober 22, he found the situation so threatening that he did not dare continue on to the capital. Gen.

Hand. * t Columbia, Nov. 6.?."The frequency ] and regularity, with which some ^ school change teachers almost i makes one dizzy. There are ] two principal reasons for these changes. In the nrst piace, 1 many teachers themselves have a rest- l less and migratory disposition. They \ seem to be on the constant lookout for j advancement or promotion before they ' ] have given any marked evidence of * "U J i capacity or liuve acuieveu any lunncu success; or, they soon tire of their . ; present job and think they could Jo i: better in some other field. Such teach ; ers seem to forget 'that promotion j naturally follows achieved success instead of preceding it.

H. Hand in his annual report. School, Boards to Blame. ' "In the second place school boards ( are largely to blame for this constant migration of teachers. Naturally any board wishes to see its school a success, but unfortunately the board does ' i v>/-kt oln-o-j-cj tnAW inct hniv tr? it I1UI CI 1 ?? UJ o ivuv " JVAKJV il V ?' VV 4.** v/ *w a success. Many boards, in the small- : er towns especially, seem to think that | when they offer $900 a year for a man 1 principal and $400 for women assistants they ought to command the pick of the teachers of the State. Instead they usually get a young man just out 1 of college, absolutely innocent of any j knowledge of how to run a school. : Sometimes they get an older man who i has been drifting from school to school lor several years without any suspicion of success. Of course, by the , end of the year the board finds itself , and the community disappointed. Then, instead of holding the young man and giving him time to grow, or of supporting and encouraging the older one, the board dismisses him to go in quest of another new recruit. "How can a school board expect or hope that a beardless youth with a last June's diploma in his trunk shall be able to organize a school, build a course of study and direct a body of teachers, many or few?all in one or two years? A banker would not expect such a person to run a bank. A manufacturer would :< -t intrust to l " him a manufacturing plant. A farmer would not think of employing hiin ! to manage r. farm. But-to run a school is a different thing; anybody can do that. Besides, it is hard 'to see the common sense in giving this inexperienced young man a hundred dollars a month and calling him prin cipal, or even superintendent. 10 supervise from two ;o four women teachers at $40 or $4"> a month. The situation is all the more absurd when half these women know more about teaching than this young man will know when he leaves the school room to study law or medicine, or to go into business. Mark Twain once said, The Lord made lunatics. That was for practice; then He made school boards.'" "The Leopard's Spots.'' When it was first announced in the dramatic papers that "The Leopard's Spots" in dramatic form was soon :o become an actual fact Mr. Dixon the author of the book who is also responsible for the dramatization was beseiged by New York theatrical managers who were very anxious co in- J vest their capital in so profitable an enterprise. Mr. Dixon, who knew from i past experience that to kave absolute j control of the play was essential to its artistic success turned down all of- i fers and became a producing manager. Judging from the success of the play the leading theatrical managers will j? have to look to their laurels in the fu- I ture as Mr. Dixon has spared no ex-?~ ~ ^ mnlrn "TVio T .onnorH'c finnts" the greatest success of the present season.

I Concord, N. H., Nov. 8.?Gov. Fel- j cer today honored the requisition of j :he State of New York for the extra- i Jition of Harry K. Thaw, the fugitive ; !rom the New York State hospital for the criminal insane at Matteawan. rhe case is now transferred autonatically to the federal courts, where ? --- v .1? t J? : i writ of Habeas corpus on Denau oi | rhaw is pending. The governor based his decision on ; he indictment returned against Thaw ! n New York county, which charged I lim with conspiracy to escape from he asylum, to which he was commited after his second trial for the kill ng of Stanford Wihite. Thaw made j lis sensational flight od August 17, j md a few days later was arrested near ! ^oaticock, Canada. To Amend Petition. Thaw's attorneys announced that | I .bey would immediately file an amend- | nent to their petition for a writ of ' labeas corpus, application for which >vas made soon after Thaw was arrested in this State following his deportation from Canada. The original petition was based on :he allegation that Thaw was indicted "or conspiracy by the Dutchess county ?rand jury and it was suspended pend ing the governor's decision upon the matter of extradition. Because the extradition has now been granted on the strength of the N'ew York county indictment it will be necessary to amend the petition accordingly. Thaw was not present when Gov. Felker announced his decision to the . attorneys representing the fugitive j and the State of New York at the j capitol.

Glynn and the accompanying papers k appears that the grand jury nP flip cniiTitv nf Ww Vnrk rli'lv returned into open court an indictment against Mr. Thaw. That is . sufficient to warrant the arresi, arraignment and trial of the respondent, if he may be found within the state wnere in tne indictment :s penning. It is furthermore sufficient to establish that Mr. Thaw is?if found in anv State or country which sucli I ! indictment is pending?a fugitive ; from justice. "The provisions of the federal con stitution ana tne acts 01 congress enacted to give force and effect thereto as construed by the court of last resort upon such matters, limit me to (1) Whether the person demanded the consideration of the question has been substantially charged with a crime and (2) whether he is a fugitive from justice. In Another Case. "Such was the decision of the supreme court of the United States In the most recent case where in a sister , State demanded of New Hampshire j the interstate rendition of a person within her border (Muncy vs. Clough, 196 U. SM 372, decided in 1903). In that case it was decided by a unanimous court that the proceedings in matters of this kind before the governor are summary in their nature. "The person demanded has no con- J stitutional right to be heard before the governor on either question and the statute provides for none. To : hold otherwise would in many cases ! render the constitutional provision as 1 well as thg State passed to carry it i out. wholly useless. : "I have nevertheless, owing to the urgency of the- demands of his counsel?men in whose integrity I have confidence deep respect?given Mr. ! Thaw the fullest possible opportunity { for the expression of their views. With ' I | profound respect, therefore, I am un-1 aoie to view my auiy m me premises as including an investigation of Mr.j Thaw's mental condition or of the ! counsel for the State of New York or; of the probable guilt or innocence \ of the accused."
