The stand ardization trial was to have been held yesterday but it was necessary on account of the heavy sea due to the storm to postpone it until today. This morning when the cruiser took an experi nuntal run outside the conditions were found to he still unfavorable. About noon, however, the weather cleared up and the trial was begun at 1 o’clock. The vessel went 14 tirm-s over the course, finishiing at ft o'clock tonight. The average rate of five high speed runs was —.41 knots.

Post Office Bill at Last Reaches Actual Consideration in House. %f Washington, April 11.—In the Senate today Mr. Aldrich expressed the opine ion that the end of the general debate on the railroad rate hill would become apparent before the end of the present week and that then an agreement upon a daj for a vote could be reached. It was announced that Mr. Spooner would reply tomorrow to Mr. Built y'.s speech of yesterday. The session was almost entirely de voted to the consideration of the con ference report on the bill providing for the final settlement of the affairs of the five civilized tribes of Indians and in connection with that report there was sharp controversy over an amendment inserted by tire Senate which pro vided for the ratification of liie dis bursement of JlSo.000 of tin* Loyal Seminole fund, made by Special Agent K. J. Jenkins and Administrator A. J. brown. The debate turned upon the ex ceptional fact that the House was in sisting upon the retention of a Senate amendment from which the Senate was apparently anxious to recede. The de bate was characterized by a number of spirited passages between Mr. Tiilnian on the one side and by Messrs, Teller and Clapp on the other. When the Senate met the Vice Pres ident designated Messrs. Lodge, Kean, Burkett, Sutherland, Foster and Lat imer to represent the Senate on the oc cusion of the celebration Id the 200th birthday of Benjamin Franklin at Phil adelphia. At the instance of Morgan a resolu tion of the Illinois Legislature, endors ing the permanent retention of the Isle of Pim s as American territory was read. A bill was passed prohibiting the use of diving apparatus in the taking of sponges. Also a bill prohibiting aliens from gathering sponges in American waters. Xewland was appointed a conferee on the statehood bill tn take the place of Patterson who is in Colorado. Page, X. O., opposed the appropria tion for special railway mail facilities on the ground that the section which lie represents did not need the appro pi lauuii. An echo of the dispute between Small, X. C. and Macon, Ark., which attract ed attention yesterday growing nut 'if the special appropriation for the South ern Hallway, broke forth when Macon arose to a question of personal privi lege. He said that the newspapers had given Small’s side of the controversy in whiclt he (Macon) had been accused of libelling the president of the Southern Railway, hut there had been no men tion of the libel which Small had put upon him. Small sought to interrupt, but the gavel fell as Macon uttered the sentence: "You are no gentleman.•” “1 guess I will be aide to survive the imputation." was all Small said in reply. sulser. X. Y., made a plea for con gressional action in putting a stop to the destruction of Niagara Falls. McDermott. X. J.. spoke against the Pomer of the Greek church holding it responsible not only for past massacres but for massacres of the Jews in Rus- I sia. He said the Russian Greek church I has not taught peace and good will, but had walked with the wicked and cruel.” The ,-Vnaie then took up the report of the conference committee on the bill for the settlement of the affairs of the Five Civilized Tribes of Indians and Tillman opposed its adoption because of the retention of the Senate amend ment ratifying the disbursement of $lt>6,000 made by A. J. Brown and James K. Jenkins to the loyal Seminole Indians under an act of Congress of May 31, 1600. Teller defended the action of the con ferees and in the course of a sharp col loquy with Tillman expressed appre hension that before the matter was dis posed of the South Carolina senator would accuse him of stealing some thing. "The senator expects nothing of the kind,” responded Tillman, "I contra dict him liatly.” Teller responded that Tillman's ar raignment of the committee ydid not come with grace from a senator who confesses that he knows nothing about the question. “If. he said, “the sena tor were even a goor cornfield lawyer he would know that the Indians lose none of their rights by the addition of the Senate provision.” Clapp, Dubois and MeCumber also defended the action of the committee. In the course of his remarks Clapp said That the conference report had on ly been formally recommitted yester day and Tillman made the point of or der that the conferees had transcended thdr authority in proceeding with the conferees when the bill was not for mally in its possession. The Chair, however, sustained ilie ac tion of the committee. While the conference report was pending the railroad rate hill was laid before the Senate and Tillman made another effort to secure an agreement to fix a date for a final vote. In doing so, he made complaint that the debate on the rate bill was “lagging." Aldrich challenged that statement, saying he had never known.,a time (Continued on Page Three.) MR. COOPER ADMITS HE WAS TOO BLIND To See Danger ie His Wife’s Re lations With Young Northy. Also That He Did Speak to Her About It Weeks Before Shooting. Letters Showing Mrs. Cooper Was Going Away to Escape Northy’s Attentions Are Ruled Out. For the greater part «5eneral Hamlin. A gr<*at deal of new evidence was brought out. and much of it was of value to tin State in sustaining its contention of intimacy, not necessarily of an improper nature however, be tween Mrs. Cooper and young Xorthy. In the afternoon, during redirect ex amination of Mr. Cooper by Senior Counsel Heath, an attempt was made to introduce as evidt nee a letter writ ten by Mrs. Cooper on Sept. 1. of last year to the directors of the Insane Asylum at Tamil ore. Mass. The body ol this letter was as follows: ‘•Dear Sirs: I saw your advertisement in the Bangor Commercial. I would like a place to work. Will you please writ- me ail about it. ALICE F. COOPED.

Taunton Insane Hospital which in cluded a set of application blanks, rules and regulations governing nurses and attendants in the institution, etc. I!y these. Counsel Heath proposed to substantiate the testimony of Mr. Cooper, who said that six weeks before the loath of Northy, lie had talked with his wife and advised that she go a way for a few weeks and thus escape the persistent attentions of Northy, which lie feared were attracting com ment among the neighbors. The State objected to the introduc tion of these letters and the point was argued, the court ruling in favor of the State. Other than ttiis, very little testimony if great importance was brought out In the redirect examination, and when court adjourned, Mr. Cooper was still on the stand. Just before the closing hour. Mr. heigh, the county attorney, addressed the court and said that he was going to make a motion that court come in at 9 o’clock Thursday morning, with a view to bringing the trial to a speedy termination, but as the attorney gen eral did not coincide with this, he would withdraw. The Forenoon Session. Court convened at 9.30 o’clock as usual. Edwin J. Cooper, who was on the stand a greater part of Tuesday was recalled, and his direct examination by Mr. Heath was taken up again. The witness said that on the evening of Worthy's death, he was questioned by ■Deputy Sheriff Pinkhatrrand other offi cials who were conducting the prelimi nary investigation of the shooting. Witness was asked several questions bearing upon facts testified to previ ously. The exhibit of the section of the dining-room wall and the rocking chair was brought forward again and witness made several more measure ments to establish the location of the chair relative to the wail, door and window, to the best of his memory. Mr. Cooper was under direct exami nation nearly five hours. Civil Engineer William B. Getchell, who has appeared upon the stand pre viously. was recalled to give the meas urements of the heels of the boots worn by Charles Worthy when he was shot. Witness said that the heel lifts measured 1 '4 Inches. Witness was excused and Mr. Cooper resumed the stand and his cross examination was begun by the attorney general. The witness was questioned to great length upon the testimony given in direct. Witness said that Worthy left his home after having boarded there about 15 months, the last of February or the first of March, in 1905. Q—"Was Mr. Worthy a good work man?" A—"Yes. sir. a very good one." Q—"And did I understand you to say that he slept up stairs with one of your children?” A—"Yes, sir.” Q—’’Which one?” A—"The boy—Lore.” Q—“And where did yon sleep?” A—“Down stairs.” Q—'"In a room leading off the din ing-room?” A—“Yes, sir." Q—"And where did your little girl sleep?” A—“Cp stairs.” Q—"While Mr. Worthy was living at your house, what public meetings or gatherings did your wife attend?” A—“The church meetings and the Grange mostly." Q—“What church?” A—"At Coopers Mills.” Q 1 understood you to say yester day that you knew of only one affair of this kind that Charlie Northy at tended with your wife? A—“That is correct.” U—"What sort of an affair was It?” A—“A children’s party.” Q—Did your children go?” (Continued on Page Five.)

REPLY IS READY, Hard Goal Miners Will Accept the Suggestion To Let Strike Commission Tin to Settle Differences. Curtail Modifications Most, However, Be Agreed Upon in Advance. New York. April 11.—After having the. counter-arbitration plan of the anthra cite operators under consideration near- ly all day, the general scale commit- tee of the hard coal miners completed the draft of their reply and will pre- sent it to the committee of mine owners, at the Joint session tomorrow. The strictest secrecy surrounded the work of the committeemen. It is believed the miners have decided to accept tic-, operators' offer that the anthracite strike commission take up the dispute, but will ask that the tribunal be per mitted to consider the original de mands with certain important modifi cations. The concessions said to have, been decided upon are that, instead of an agieement being entered into be tween the operators and the United Mine Workers of America, it be made with the anthracite mine workers: that *the .heck-off be limited to the wage rfeorkors who agree to an assessment t0 mines in Illinois A Dinner to Maxim Gorky.

The situation is generally consid eied to be less alarming than yester day evening. The quantity of ashes being emitted, is not so great and the rumblings are less frequent. though ashes and cinders are still falling over this city. There are about four inches of ashes in the streets. According to tin1 Mattino fifty houses three churches and the municipal build ings at Somma have collapsed; the sand and cinders are six feet deep there and all the inhabitants have sought safety in tiight. Houses at Ottajano are still collaps ing and most of the buildings in the towns and villages in that neighbor hood are tottering or in ruins. The employes of a tobacco factory in Naples, thinking the roof was about to fall in this morning, lied in panic from the building and communicated their fears to so many people outside that the police were obliged to interfere and restore order. Many persons were in jured during the panic. Wherever it lias been possible to do so the street ear service has been re established. The wheels in their fric tion with the track generated Haines, showing the great amount of sulphur in this ashes.

The inhab itants are awaiting steamers to es cape from the danger zone. San Gennaro is plunged in obscurity. The majority of the houses have fallen. Fugitives arriving in Naples confirm the previous reports lj the effect that houses at Ottajaona continue to fall and the town and the villages in its neighborhood are nothing but ruins. At San Giuseppe the ashes and sand are over four feet deep. Troops arc encamped in the public squares here in radimss to move quickly to the assist ance of endangered places and patrols witli military doctors are rendering as sistance to the fugitives.

T'p to 8 o'clock Wednesday morning the ob seivatory was enveloped in dense showers of sand but the volcano is now calmer. The seismic instruments show quieter records than Tuesday. I shall remain here so long as possible.

Clash Between Harriman and Hill Forces Near La Camas, Ore. Portland, Ore.. April 11.—The Ore gonian says that on Monday the Hill and Harriman forces met in a serious clash near La Camas. According to the version ot the Columbia Valley Railroad men they stole a march on their opponents, the Portland Seat tle Railroad forces, and occupied a dt ep cut near La Camas, where they began digging to lower the Portland Seattle grade. The article goes on to say that in order to frighten away the Harriman forces the Portland Seattle gradertj dropped dynamite into the cut. 'Jhe fit st few sticks it states, were not lighted. Then several came down with lighted fuses which were promptly pulled out by Chief Engineer Wise. Seeing that their ruse did not frighten away the Harriman graders the Hill forces are alleged to have dropped down some sticks with such short fuses that it was foolhardy to try to pull them out and both crews of rail roaders ran away leaving the dyna mite to explode harmlessly. The Portland Seattle officials deny any knowledge of dynamite throwing by their construction gangs.

(Continued from Page One.) when the debate on so important a measure had been son continuous and so well sustained. '‘If,” he said, "the senator is able to sustain his zeal for a few days until some important speeches are made, I hope we will then be able to reach an understanding. I should say that before the end of the week we ought to foresee the end of the general discussion.” The bill was then temporarily laid aside and the discussion of the report on the Indian settlement bill was resumed. Tillman attacked the Seminole pay ment plan, declaring that the Congress should protect the Indians “against thieves whom we nut in charge of their property,” Tillman said that if the secretary of the interior had permitted himself to lie duned in the matter of tli» payment of tin: Indians lie was not fit for his place. He contended that the suits for the re covery of the money should lie prosecuted by ;lie government. "The question," lie said, replying to Clapp, “is whether some lawyer has not come up lo re from Indian Territory and bamboozled the govern ment. "If the senator has been bamboozled it was when lie iwns asleep at the switch ami let the provision go through the Sen ate originally,” responded Clapp sharply. “ff the Senator from South Carolina has been asleep at the switch.” said Till man, just us pointedly, “it was when tld.-i bill was stolen from Ills committee by your committee. T)ic bill should have been considered .by the committee of the. Five Civilized Tribes, of which I am chairman.” “That,” Clapp said in reply, “would have Letn a sorry spectacle.” Tillman had declared that the Senate conferees had surrendered at the first chance. This statement Clapp challenged as "unfair,” saying that they had held out for two or three days. “The fact I don't bear the senator out,” he said. “I beg your pardon," said Tillman, but the Minnesota senator did not accept the apology. "it is not sufficient,” said Clapp. "The senator should get his facts straight.” Spoom r took the position that Congress could ratify the disbursements made by Jenkins as the agent of the government but net that of Brown, who was the ad ministrator of the Indians. Clapp replied that if Spooner’s point was wi ll taken the legislation would hi ll nullity. He did not believe that the House would recede from its position. Tillman would not accept the position that the House would continue to stand out for a provision so palpably unjust. "It sticks to heaven of too much that is rotten and ought to go out.” he declared. Money e tincided with Tillmafi, charac terizing the proposed legislation as a "gross injustice” and “scheme for plun d. r." Money criticised the alienation of tile coal lauds of tile Indians. Without il.sposing of the report the Senate at 6.30 I“. M. adjourned. IN THE HOUSE. Consideration of Post Office Appro priation Bill at Last Reached. Washington, April 11.—After nearly 10 days af general debate of the post office appropriation bill as the vehicle for the discussion of a wide range of subjects, the House late today reach ed the consideration of the bill itself, .an hour having been given to the read ing of the measure. Not in years has there been so much talk on any one appropriation bill un der the fiction of "general debate” as the House has listened to on the bill now seriously up for amendment and passage. There were a number of lively debates during the day but little progress was made with the bill un der the 5-minute rule. The postoffice appropriation bill was taken up when the House was called to order. The military record of Gen. Jacob H. Smith in the Philippines was the sub ject of a speech by ltannon. Ohio, who defended the actions of General Smith, stating that Gen. Woods’ achievements in the Philippines were a complete vin dication of the case of General Smith. He quoted liberally from the dispatches sent Smith by Generals Wheaton and Chaffee, which to Bannon’s mind, completely justified the language used by (Jeneral Smith, one having told him (Smihl) to "make the island a wilder ness," while the other told him not only “to kill but to exterminate.” Speaking of the engagement on Mount Da jo, Hannon said Gen Wood admitted that a number of women and children had be-n killed, adding: "Smith killed ne th er women nor children; Wood did. Wood is warmly praised and commend ed by the President. His commenda tion is General Smith's vindication.” The watch trust Jiad further ilfiimina tion through a speech by Tirrell, Mass., who, in answering the address of Rainey.'* 111., read a letter from the president of the Waltham Watch Co., in which it was emphatically stated that there was no watch trurt. --L Tirrell said that comparatively few children wore employed in the watch fac tories of the country. The average wage of women who worked in the factories was >400 per year, while the average wage of men was $700. Ife told liow manufacturers were com pelled to send the surplus output aboard; otherwise manufacturers would be com pelled to shut down their factories. He admitted that the Waltham company in order to compete with the Swiss manu facturers. to compete with cheap labor of Kurope and to establish trade, was com piled to sell abroad cheaper than at home. Williams, the minority leader, said that Tirrell’s speech was one of the most im portant speeches made during the present session, because it had fearlessly con-> fesstd that the surplus products of fac tories were sold abroad at pi ices less than sold here. He then asked iwhy they sold flic surplus al road at a less price than at home. “Here at home, with a sheltered mar ket,” said Williams, "the moment he un dertook to sell the surplus here at less than cost he wpuld break the market prices agreed upon by the various facto ries entering into the combination. Their there would be real competition and prices would he reduced.” IJoyd, Mo., justified the cost of the rail way mail service. That the present policy of the post office department was hostile to the rural free delivery service was maintained by Laiver, S. C., and yet the head of that department stands as the special champion of the Republican par ty, he concluded. PRIVATE YARD WINS. Battleship Louisiana Cheaper and Ahead of Sister Ship Connecticut. Washington, April 11.—The present prospects are, according to the view now obtaining at the navy department that the battleship Connecticut being constructed by the government at the New York navy yard will not only cost approximately $400,000 more than her sister ship, the Louisiana, being built by private contractors, but that the government will lose the race which has been on since the building of the two big ships was begun. Just how much longer it may take to complete the Connecticut than the Louisiana de pends upon the action of Congress. According to the latest figures at the navy department the percentage of completion reached on the Louisi ana is 97.9- and the Connecticut 97.11. It was stated at the department to day that after spending the allotment made for the present monh the de partment will have but $10,000 to spend on the Connecticut for the month of May unless Congress meantime, passes the appropriation bill and authorizes the increase in the limit of cost aUk ed for by the department and for which provision is made in the bill. When Congress provided for the construction of one of these battle ships at a navy yard it was with a view of obtaining comparative figures to show whether the government could build ships more economically at the navy yards than by private con tract. The race between the two ships has been watched with keen interest by naval authorities and those Inter ested in ship construction because of the future policy which it might bring about. Another factor in retarding the work oil the Connecticut has been the cur tailment in the working force at the New York yard made necessary by the lack of funds. It is estimated at the department that the Louisiana will be ready for delivery to the gov ernment in from four to six weeks. TO SAVE NIAGARA. Congress Takes Step Toward Saving Falls in Their Present Beauty. Washington, April 11.—Representa tive Burton of Ohio, introduced a bill today for the preservation of Niagara Falls. It prohibits the diversion of water front Niagara river except upon revocable permits to be granted by the secretary of war. Permits are to be granted for domestic use of water and for the File canal. Power companies now using the waters for power may secure revocable permits for the amount they are now using, but no in crease and no additional power per mits are to be authorized. It prohibits the transmission of electric power in to the United States from Canada when such power is generated from Niagara river or any of its tributaries, except as to power now being brought in. A penalty of a fine and imprison ment is provided for a violation of the act or the regulations of the secretary of war. The minimum fine is $500 and the maximum $2500. The Presi dent is requested to take action either through tlie regular diplomati han nels or by the international water ways commission to prevent the furth er depletion of the waters of Niagara river. The penalty of the act is to remain in force for three years. MAINE POSTAL CHANGES. Washington. April 11.—The follow ing appointment of fourth class Maine postmaster was announced today: Prouts Neck.

At a conference Wednesday between Pres idem parte and Senator Allee of Delaware It was agreed practically that unless Congress should require Especially that the proposed great battleship should be called the Constitution it would be named ihe Delaware In accordance with the law that battleships shall be named after states of the union. Iten.-esentative Gardner of the Glouc ester district of Massachusetts is mov ing energetically in behalf of the American trawlers who had been fined by the Newfoundland authorities for fishing on the west shore within the three-mile limit. He called at the slate department Wednesday and had a long conference w'ith Sec. Koot on this matter with the result that the secretary will undertake, as soon as Rep. Gardner has produced the court record showing under what act the captain of the vessels were arrested and the disposition made of their case to lodge a formal protest with the British government, not only against those ar rests but against the continuance of the Newfoundland attitude on this sub ject. n n;iuAiauiuu mv ica.ic in nit ivu. industry in the United States is show in a preliminary summary of the cen sus bureau issued Wednesday.

Witness was asked to acknowledge questions and answers given in a state on nt made by the witness soon after tie- tragedy. The witness said that Mi.- record, or report, of this statement was substantially eorreet. The wit less was questioned about the May la I et episode which was described in din et examination, and the testimony was uubslantlally the same as given pi ioqsly. At this point the usual mid-session icress was taken. I I. t 11 I I I Im I M N I III mi. VvWiFjn was resumed. Witness said that oil tl» 'ill-day previous to the tragedy lie aitended the Sunday-school at Coopers .Mills and in the evening he attended the evening service at the church. He was ae.mnpanied by his wife. Wit* ness tin n described in detail tile inci dents of that evening, covering the testimony given by him in his direct examination. Witness did not re member where Mrs. Cooper sat upon entering the ehurch that evening. Witness was unite sure that lie did not sit beside his wife during the service. He sav. iter after the service began sitting ivside Charles Nortliy. two pews behind him. Witness saw the two talking together, hut he did not hear w hat was said. How long did that meeting last? A—About one hour in all, I guess— or a little more. Q—And you did not notice your wife talking to Charlie Xorthy for some time? A Xo sir. Could you hear them talking? A Yes sir -but not what they said. J I'id it disturb you? A Sonn-what. liow long was this kept up? A I should think somewhere around half an hour. Q—Who was doing most of the talk ing? 1 think Charles was making most ol the noise. Most of the talking? A- I thought Charles was. Q And you could not distinguish one f ord that was raid? A—Xot a word. Q —When did you leave for home? A—About It o'clock. Q—And you all returned together in Henry Cooper's team?” A—"Yes sir.” Q~‘ What did you say to Mrs. Cooper on the way home?” A—”1 don't remember exactly some tiling about not talking out loud. I think 1 said that it took about all the religion I had to keep from telling him (Northy) li> keep still. Q—“And all this was subsequent to the time that you suggested to your wife that Charlie was coming to the house too much?” A—"Yes sir. after that time.” Q—“Did your wife make any reply that night?" A—"l don't remember that she did." Q—"Did you say anything more about this matter?” A—"I might have—I can't remem ber." The witness did not appear to remem ber the details of the ride home from church on this Sunday evening and that line of ei oss-questioning was not pursued further. The witness described the incidents of the Monday following in much the same manner as on the direct exami nation. Witness remembered the trip of hie wife to Augusta and of her re turn. Q—"Did you suggest that she hail better not go?" A—"1 might have.” Q—“Don’t you remember that vou did?" A—"I don't recollect it just now." Q—"What did she bring home from Augusta? A —"Two live-pound boxes of nails for me. a pair of boots for herself, and sente small articles for herself. Also a toy watch for the boy. Q—"Are you sure that those nails were bought that day?" A—"Yes sir." Q—"You didn't see a revolver or box of cartridges, did you?" A—"No sir." Q—“Did you know where they were concealed?" A—"No sir.” Q—"Did you see any bundle that would suggest that such articles were concealed?" A—"No sir.” Witness said tlmt he and his wife snent the evening of that day at the home of neighbors named Carr. Wit ness affirmed that lie remained at home all (lay on Tuesday, the day following. Witness said that his wife had in formed him that Charlie Northy was* coining over to tiie house that after noon. Witness was asked if he did not tell Deputy Sheriff Pinkham in the first plae'e that he did not know of Northy's intended visit. Witness could not remember hut he admitted that on the day following he "rectified his mis take.” Witness would not acknowl edge making the first statement, how ever. He said he did not remember. Witness said that on the fatal after noon he was in bis blacksmith shop, near the house, piling up wood. Q ”W hat time did you hear the noise that you have described in your direct examination. A—“Between 2 and 3 o’clock.” Q—"Can't you place the time nearer than that?” A—“Well, somewhere around 2.30 o’clock.” Q—'“Your mother and father had been there at your house to dinner had they not'.'” A—“Yes sir.” Q—“What time did they go?” A—“About 1.20 o’clock I think.” W itii 'ss said that he remembered sending Shepherd Eldrodge for the selectman. Mr. Cray. At that time he ivas standing with his wife a few feet from the telegraph pole nearest the blacksmith shop. Prior to this, the witness described in greater detail the incidents between the time that he saw his wife running from the house and when the meeting with Mr. Eldredge K-curred. Witness said I hat he bought he was with his wife between ihose periods about S. 10 or 12 minutes. Mrs. Cooper was "sort of hysterical" md somewhat exhausted wlvn Mr. Eldreoge came along, witness said. With Mr. Cooper still under eross xaminatinn. the usual noon recess was taken until 2 o'clock. I he Afternoon Session. Court fame in at 2 o'clock and the ■loss-examination i>f Mr. Cooper was resumed by the attorney general. The witness continued his story of the inci dents following the shooting in re sponse to questions put by Mr. Ham lin. Witness said that when he went up to the house at first lie did not go into tiie dining room any further than the doorway. He did not go near the boy, whom he saw sitting in the rock ing chair, but turned aliout and went direetlv out of the house. Me made no effort to ascertain the extent of young Northy's injury, but returned immedi ately to his wife. whom he found standing near the blacksmith shop. Mr. I’ddredge was standing near her. Witness was required to explain in fullest detail the occurrences of the next hour during witich time a nutn b( r of people passed and some of them held conversation with Mr. Cooper as described in previous testimony. Q—“Did you go bark to your house while Charlie was alive?" A—“Yes. sir." Q—“Where was he?” A—“He was stretched out on the din ing room floor." Q—“Were you in that room?” A—“Just for a minute." Q—“Did you do anything for him?” A—“No.” Q—“When did vou first learn of your wife's purchase of this revolver?” A—“Tuesday night.” (j—“That was when she so stated be fore Mr. Plummer and Mr. Pinkham?" A—"Yes. sir.” Witness was asked if he had ever thought, at any time, if there were ever improper relations between liis wife and Charlie Xorthy and he replied that he had not. Q—“Then why did you tell your wife that Charlie must not come to the house any more?" A—“I thought that it might set the neighbors talking." Q—“And that was all?" A—"Yes. that was all.” The attorney general asked the wit ness if he cor.sideted his wife quick tempered and he said he did not know. “She is quicker than I am," said Mr. Cooper. The court reporter read a note of the testimony of Mrs. Gilbert Moraug in which witness said that she saw Mr. and Mrs. Cooper standing on the lawn on the afternoon of the shooting. Wit ness denied the truth of this statement. The cross-examination was conclud ed at J..>0 o clock and the witness was subjected to re-direet examination by Mr. Heath. Mr. Heath addressed the court and stated that as parts of the Detective Martin statement and the testimony given by Mr. Cooper at the preliminary hearing had been offered he would like to submit the remaindei of both. The Stale's attorneys offeree no objection and Mr. Cooper was ex cused temporarily. The next witness was then called Frederick Allen, a I’nitcd States- turn free delivery carrier. Mr. Allen lives it Cooper's Mills. The direct eximiuatiot was conducted by Mt. Goddard. Wit ness said that be was secretary of tin Cooper's Mills Grange last suinaii r an al present. Witness was .all'll to ii\ tile date of the iee cream supper whi. 1 lias been referred to in ler-limotty. lb ‘lid so. There was no cross-examina tion and the witness was finally ex cused. Mr. Heath said that tin- State would agree that the stenographer would not be called to swear to the statement made by Kdwin J. Cooper l I'iekertoil IVtoc-ive Martin. Mr. H'-atli tin n read .be statement in its entirety and it "-a oot unlike the testimony given at this hearing by Mr. Cooper. The rea-iing of this record occupied about Uiric-iptai ters of an hour and was coni luded ;>t o'clock. Dr. A. H. Sturt -vant was called to tin* stand. In response to a rei|iiest by Mr. Heath, the witness pro lin d a copy of the unsigned autopsy r«•) "t l and an swered on ottes-tion. Q—"At the time of tin- autopsy npoti the body of Charles Nnrthy was there any cutting of Ihe hair about the wound?” A—“No sir." Witness was excused. At this point the usual roc. s was taken. l rcHUinrii ill n rmn\ .urn *hi. Heath read a urea ter portion of the transcript of the stenographic report of the testimony of Edwin J. Hooper as Riven before .Indue Andrews at the pre liminary hearing. The reading of this record occut>ied about la minutes. The next witness called was* Freder ick Pogue of AuRiista. to whom Mr. Heath exhibited several envelopes and sheets of paper. The witness identi fied the exhibit** and said that the en velopes wrre given into his hands by a letter earlier at the otlice of II. M. Heath. The witness was excused. No cross-examination. Edwin J. Cooper was recalled to the stand and l.is redirect examination by Mr. Heath was taken up again. The witness identified an envelope which was directed in the handwriting of Mrs. Alice F. Cooper. A sheet ot paper accompanied the envelope and it was written by Mrs. Cooper, witness said. The State’s attorneys objected to the admission of the exhibits. The exhibit was a letter written by Mrs. Cooper in applying for a position so that she might leave her home and rid herself of the attentions of Charlie Northy. as testified to by tlie witness. The State objected and Alt’. Heath asked for exceptions. Witness was shown another envelope and sheet of paper which he identified. The character of this exhibit was not made clear. Witness said that on sev eral occasions he had engaged in con versation with his wife regarding her going away from home so that she might relieve herself of Charlie Northy’s pursuit. Mr. Hamlin offered objection to an swers along this line and the matter was suspended until later. The jury was retired by the counsel to argue on the admissibility of the two letters just offered to Mr. Cooper for the purpose of identification. The two li tters were given to the attorney general for his examination. Judge Peabody ruled that the letters be excluded. The matter will be argued when the counsel for the defence will make another attempt to have the let trs introduced. Mr. Heath,asked that exceptions be noted. The argument was concluded at f> o’clock and court adjourned until li.30 o'clock this morning. BETWEEN The Devil and the Deep Sea.

On account «>f bad traveling many of tiie memebers were unable to be present Meeting was called I; The Laxative op Known Quality There are two classes of remedies; those of known qual ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist ance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of P plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with the favor of many millions of well informed persons who know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience that it is a most excellent laxative remedy. We do not claim that JMf it will enre all manner of ills, bnt recommend it for what it really represents, a laxative remedy of known quality and excellence, containing nothing of an objectionable or injurious character. f There are two classes of purchasers; those who are informed as to the quality of what they buy and the reasons for the excellence of articles of exceptional merit, and who do not lack courage to go elsewhere when a dealer offers an imitation of any well known article; bnt, unfortunately, there are some people who do not know, and who allow themselves to be imposed upon. They cannot expect its beneficial effects if they do not get the genuine remedy. To the credit of the druggists of the United States be it said that nearly all of them value their reputation for professional integrity and the good will of their customers too highly to offer imitations of the m r V Genuine—Syrup of Figs manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., and in order to buy the genuine article and to get its beneficial effects, one has only to note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package.

It is said that no country in the world has a better organised Red Cross Society than Japan.,''or one which is heiiei kept la trailing to med any cmerg v v II I m The Most Famous Volcano. Thf stories f dostriu lion and terror which are now coming from llie slopes of Vesuvius lose none of their awe from the fact that they have been fa miliie for centuries. Including the beautiful city of Naples there are fully XftO.OOO people living within a radius of 12 miles of Vesuvius which is the world’s most famous volcano, though not so large as Ktna of Mauua I>oa. Its slopes are covered with vineyards and the cities and villages at its base, built above the burled cities of old, make it the center of the most densely popu lated section of Italy. It is indeed, something quite surprising that not withstanding the great danger at tendant upon living in that region, on account of the uncertainty of the be havior of the volcano, people crowd about the foot of that mountain of fire living in jeopardy of an eruption al most constantly. Vesuvius is the best known of all the world's volcanoes. With a cir cumference at its base of about 30 miles, it rises from the center of a plain 3,300 feet above the sea in a sort of conical pyramid of about 1.100 feet high and about 3000 feet in diameter, so that tlie total height is about 3800 feet. In 1 Kso a railway was laid to its summit which was equipped with electrical apparatus in 190:t-'0l. Be fore the Christian era. Vesuvius was supposed to be twice its present height,- its various periods of eruption having shrunken or lessened its pro portions. while it is thought that a tremendous eruption of which history gives no record, blew away the upper half of its rone. The locality about Vesuvius and the cities at its base is replete with his torical interest. The mountain side was the home of the early Greek set tlers. and it was here that the Gladia tor ispartacus was besieged by the Praetor Claudius Pulcher, Spartacus '•seaping by a vine branch, descending through an unguarded notch in the crater. Till 6.3 A. D. when many of the surrounding cities were damaged by an earthquake, no symptoms of activity are known to have been given forth by Vesuvius. In the year 79 of the Christian era, August 31. occurred the great eruption described in the letters of the younger Pliny, which destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and several smaller towns. A public festival was in progress at me time i the eruption which was not so suddenly overwhelm ing as to prevent personal flight and it is supposed that nearly all exrepting the sick, prisoners ami sentinels es rapeil. Among those who perished was the elder Pliny, who with others was hast', ning with a part of the Homan fleet to the relief of the inhabitants. Since that eruption in A. D. 79. other eruptions have taken place in the fol lowing named .years: 1038, 1770. 1793. 1831. 1817, 1850, 1855. 1887, 1873, 1878, ISSO and 1895. The present eruption rivals in vio lence that of April, 1872, when tlie vapors and rock fragments were eject ed |o m altitude of 20,000 feet. During this I -i if it I outburst one immense fis sure was formed extending from the top of the mountain below the base of the rone, while many smaller rents were made In the sides of the moun tains, so tnat from its whole surface liquid lava exuded. fin this occasion Professor I’almieri, who witnessed th—The other flowers Always wait for me; liear. dear, what a baekwaid spring This will be!

Anyway, the first salmon taken from the Bangor pool this year was raptured Sunday after the fishermen had been patiently angling for a whole week. It only shows that fish bite better on Sunday than on other days. This salmon was only an eight-pounder lint it netted its captors $1J, or $1.50 per pound. Pass the smoked herring, please. Says an old Orchard correspondent: “Did Ore ha rd in April is as peaceful and serene as a country burying ground on a Sunday morning in midwinter, and the air is as frigid as cold storage apartments, necessitat ing the wearing of winter wraps in stead of peek-a-boo shirt waists, open work stockings, and fluffy gowns of chiffon trimmed with lace and ribbon. Thus early there is a promise of a prosperous season at this vacation ground. A prominent hotel man said yesterday that the prospects of a bril liant season have not been rosier for years than this spring. While the beach, half a mile wide, and stretch ing from Bay View to Grand. Beach is covered with seaweed and drift wood, washed up by the winter tides, it is as hard as a floor and is an ideal place for a brisk walk at daybreak during this month of sunshine and flowers. Fast Day w ill see an influx of cottagers to see what repairs are needed on their sum mi r homes. There is some building being done at present but nothing to what will bo seen in this line later." Merchants atid Maufacturers* expo sition, Industrial and Pure Food Fair is to be held in the City hall from May 17-J8 inclusive. Its object is to boom the city of Lewiston and bring people into Lewiston from the surrounding towns and cities, as well as from other parts of the United States, and to bring the people into the merchants' stores while they are in the city. A feature of the fair will be the rebate tickets which will save the person ID per cent, on the price of admission. In order to get these tick !eU people have to go into the local merchants' stores where any adult may have them free for the asking. These rebate tickets are given to the local merchants, who exhibit, free by the executive committee of the exposition. That the exposition itself will be a grand and popular affair is a foregone conclusion. It will run nine days, and being fully advertised in the newspa pery it will be billed in the surround ing cities and towns of the State, it can't help drawing a crowd. Excur sions have been arranged on the differ ent railroads running into Lewiston, and with the beautiful industrial mer cantile and pure food exhibits giving away their samples and souvenirs the folks will come. MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT. Gov. Cobb's Speech at Decring. (riangor Sunday-Republican, i t’ilizens of tlie Stale of Maine wenv never privileged to listen to or read a manlier, more sincere and earnest, or more honorable and brilliant declar ation of views and principles than that made by Gov. William T. Cobb at the banquet of the Deering Republican club in Portland Friday evening. It v.as a remarkably vivid explana tion of his personal position in the much-discussed “rum situation’’ nt Maine and no listener at the banquet or subsequent reader in the public prints could contend for an instant that he did not clearly and definitely under stand where the governor stood in this important matter and what his action will be as long as he remains the chief executive of the State. In brief, the governor maintained that the Republican platform ot R'Ot pledged to the people of the State? the rigid enforcement of the prohibitory amendment: that the people indicated by' their ballots they desired such en forcement, and that he declared on the stump and otherwise that he would faithfully keep the party's pledge to the people. 11c has done so to the best of his. ability. If there had been any doubt of the governor's sincerity in the premises and we believe there was not the slightest—it must be entirely dispelled by his present declaration. We are convinced not a single person in the whole State questioned for an instant the governor’s integrity in this matter, but. if there was such an one. he no longer has any reason to maintain a claim of that character. No one could impugn the honesty of the executive after this splendid offering. It seems to us that the issue is. by this speech, brought squarely before the people of Maine, and they are the arbiters against whose decision there is no power to appeal.. No longer is therf seeing us waver, they should not see us break or run.” There need be. and there will be, no wavering from ibis time fn. The ques tion is before the peopli' definitely and firmly. At the caucuses to be held in a few weeks they will express to their representatives- the delegates to the convention their will, and, as they in struct, so will the contest be decided. The Republicans of Maine will gather about the standard of the governor and follow him to the thickest of the fray, knowing well their leader and where In* st mds. and that, above all things he is a man of honor and a man of the people. VOICES OF THE PRESS. This Country Is All Right. (Washington t'ost.) Thest there^may he waste land in these towns, we will reduce the area 15 per cent and Increase the value of the remainder 15 per cent and W'e have the value of $3.00 per acre, or considerably less than the average value placed upon the wild land town ships. For a further comparison we will take the 63 plantations In the State, containing 13,000 population, all located In the “wild land counties.” containing large areas of wild land, with stores and small mills and culti vated farms and dwellings, and we find that the assessed value made by the men chosen by the Inhabitants of these plantations to conduct their af fairs was but $1.80 per acre. For similar reasons mentioned In regard to the 102 towns Just previously consid ered, we will add 11 per cent, to this assessed value, making It $2.00 per acre. Now if the current criticism for undervaluation will lie against the State board of assessors in regard to the wild lands in the remote unincor porated townships, what may be said against the hundreds of local assessors in those 165 towns and plantations. In which are located nearly 3.000.000 acres of wild land, and all the improvements mentioned, who have valued the entire property at a large percentage lower than that placed upon the wild land under the State board's Jurisdiction?

Fears That Diseased Cattle May Seri ously Affect Entire Lot. Portland, Mo., April 11.—That tho In alth of residents of Portland is jfopirriiml by tho condition of cattle I tom which I heir milk supply is ob tained is tin* statement made in a (•'•innmiiiiMtion today from tho Port land Hoard of Health to tho State cattle commissioners asking for tho inspection of all cattle from which the Portland supply is received. Sev eral weeks ago the Joe;.,I board of In alth caused to be made an inspec tion of several herds aggregating 77 cows and in this lot five were found to have tuhereiilosis and were ordered killed. Tho statement says: “It is estimated that the milk supply of this city conies from about 31*00 or toon cows and if the same percentage n,‘ disease*.1 cattle should he found in the herds which have not yet been tested, and tin* board of health feels assured that such would he the case, tin1 number of diseased cows supplying i' ill' to Portland is somewhere in the neighborhood of 250 to 280.” Humors r,,rTlft the surface In the spring, as in no fit her season, h s a pity they don’t run themselves oil off thnt woy; but in spite of pimples and other eruptions, they mostly re main in the system. That’s bad. I foods Sarsaparilla removes them and cures all (he painful and disfigur ing troubles they cause. Nothing else cleanses the system and clears the complexion like Hood’s. A.. A.
