SUBMITTED ON ARGUMENT Judge's Instructions Strictly -Impar. tial Iefcnso lias Closing Speech. "Synopsis of the Speeches. Philadelphia, April 20. The case of Ex United Stales Senator Quay was placed dn the hands of the jury promptly at 3 o'clock- this afternoon, no verdict being T' ached by 10 o'clock at night, the jury v.as locked up until morning. There -was no intimation, other than mere rumor, as to the attitude of the jury. The gener ally expressed opinion of those who have followed the trial since its beginning on Monday of last week Is that the verdict w 111 be an acquittal. Many, however, look for a disagreement. There axe but few who express the belief that a verdict of guilty wtf Ibe given. Today's proceedings were confined entirely to argument and peeches by counsel, the defense deciding present the testimony. Mr. "Watson rgan the day by requestttog that the ue be withdraw! from the jury and a erdict of not guilty rendered. He con t nded Jhat the commonwealth had utter ly failed to make out a case against Mr. Quay. Judge Biddle determined that the 1 sues were those for a. jury to decide, ond" he ruled that it b gone through with n the usual way. Mr. Shields hero an nounced the defense's intention to tako J'o testimony and under the rules of the ciurt he thus obtained the privilege of making one, the last, speech to the jury. District Attorney Rothermel spoke for one hour; Mr. Shields foCowed for one fno hour and three-quarters and Judge B-ddle charged the jury in nine minutes. The defense today opened Its part of Ihe proceedings by moving that tho court v.ithdraw the case from the Jury and ren der a verdict of "not guilty." In support of this motion, David T. "Watson made a long argument. He began with tho st if ement that early in the trial -the prose cutmn presented an offer to produce evi dence connecting M. S. Quay with a con spiracy alleged to have beeen entered Into with Cashier Hopkins of the Peo ple's bank and States Treasurer B. J. Hyawood for the miuie of state funds deposited in tho People's bank. Mr. "Wat son argued that the district attorney had utterly failed to prove his case and moved th it the court strike from the record the p'atcments produced from tho books of th bank, because they failed to connect M .S. Quay with conspiacy. He also mov ed to strike out the "red book" on the smo grounds. The samo motion was tnide with reference to tho letter of July "3. 16, from Treasurer Haywood to President McManes of the bank, "agree ijt to noun to R. R. Quay, and the mln. utrs of the bank directors with regard thereto, the ground being that this evi-le-noe rebates to a transaction with which 3r S Quay is not connected. Another point raised was that nnMsmitt. commonwealth's chief witness, is not an expert- that instead of testifying to what the lHok disclosed, ho evolved a theory font Inferences and partly from outside I'-o-mation. rrh charge, said Mr. "Wtson. was con f c. and. curious to say. there was H on, person indicted. The common. "ilth had uttterly failed, he contended, c mnect the defendant with the charges r npiraey. in the course of his argu- nr-nt Mr. Watson mado the point that tho J"- virtion admitted ha not ono cent of mt on state funds hod ever been paid t Air Quay. He argued that while some rr the testimony offered might be evidence r-run-t Hopkins and Haywood it was c rt unjy not evidence against Mr. Quay Ti t--mnion wealth had failed to show nt Mr. Quay lmd anything to do with i k in Treasurer Haywood to deport s tunds in the People's bank. Coming to the loan of Hon 000 to R. R.

He said t tiers of Senator Quay to Hopkins proof of the conspiracy, as wa. also fact that for the ax months ending tr a. 1S97. Seiator Quay had received 'XW without interest.

At .fte eoncl- e "J tbl Wh,8eed l. .Utwnw S .i.lds made he MUtotmcement that the defense would offer no testimony what cwr. and wcuid at once proceed to the a drees to the jury, a order io rave time, Mr. Shields offered to waive the r ght to make the opeokig apeec'i. I" the district attorney agreed, he s&M, he wWiid aFow the district attorney to go rigr.t on with his speech and l.e would follow. All this was agreeable to the parties con cerned, and Mr. Rothermel at one start ed In a calm, quiet manner, his attempt to convince the jury that the state liaJ established the guilt of Senator Quay. The district attorney in opening re jew el the charges against Mr. Quay nnd rend the law on the subject. The crime, he said, was that of conspiracy and being oon in secrecy, was therefore difficult prove. It must invariably be proved by the acts of the conspirators, as it is al most impo; lite to get the statement i one of the conspirators. Com ng to th relation of Mr. Quay political y to State Treasurer Haywood, he mdiei.d thot if the state treasurer received interest frim the cashieer, and Mr. Quay the interest on ?200,000 from the cashier, th3 natural Inference was that these men had entered into a conspiracy. There mig'it be i o direct evidence, he continled, but thcie could be no doubt that a consoiracy was conceived and carried out. Mr. Rothermel read Mr. Quay's letter to Cashier Hopkins directing the purchase of 000 shares of Metropolitan stock. This, he argued.w as unlawful, because made with bank money and no interest was charged. He showed by the evidence that the state deposit during the six months ending Octo ber 31, 1837, ranged from $523,000 to over ?600,000, and that other loans were made to Mr. Quay without interest. The check of Hopkins to Treasurer Hay wo 3d tor $1,519 was discussed. Mr. Rothermel sa'd the bank's books showed this amount was the interest on state funds less 20 per cent for the bank and less interest of ?'.'G0, 000 for the use of Mr. Quay. The "red book" he designated as unin telligible in itself, but, connected with the other books of the bank, he asserted that it was the" key to the proof of the charges. Ho went over certain entries sworn to by j (Meyer Goldsmith, his expert, to disclose the fact that the defendant and Haywood were paid interest on state deposits by Cashier Hopkins. The entries in the ted bopk were elucidated to the jury and the r connection with Senator Quay's account and transactions explained. The district attorney laid great stress upon the fact that the red book came Into existence m 191, coincident with the passage of the law creating state bank examiners, from whom, he argued, Hopkins would wish to keep his Illicit transactions secret. He called the jury's attention to tho mem orandum paper found in Hopkins' desk, which he claimed indicated interest on state funds to Haywood and was there fore circumstantial proof of the conspir acy.. The district attorney in concluding referred to the resolution of the board of directors, August 13, 196, authorizing a,' oan of $100,000 alleged to be endorsed by Mr. Quay, provided a certain letter could be obtained. Ho then read the HaywooJ let ter to President MdManes of the bank, in dicating that $100,000 ofs tate money would be deposited in the bank if R. R. Quay was loaned a similar sum, and that it would not be removed until the loan was paid. After a brief recess Mr. Shields began his argument to the jury. At the outset he took up the fact that the case of ire prosecution was built on the testimony of exper.ts and quoted an opinion of the su preme court that "the tendency is to call experts to testify to a roadvmade opin ion." Tills, he declared, was a prophecy covering the case in a remarkable way. Mr. Shields dwelt on ex-Attorney Gor don's connection with the prosecution and denounced his actions in unmeasured terms. He argued that the political con spiracy against Senator Quay was begun when Judge Gordon got from the receiver of the broken bank the books and letters found in the dead cashier's private desk and kept them In his possession for many months. He went over the improper ue made of these documents in furtherance of his political ambition and his hatred of Senator Quay. Mr. Shields denounced the jhotographing of the letters and the exhi bition of these photographs to Democratic Xational Committeeman Guffy and John "Wanamaker, as proof positive of the con spiracy for the undoing of Senator Quay. The speaker then took up the bill of in dictment, which, he said, charged the mis use of public funds, and dared any mem ber of the jury. In defiance of his con science, to render a decision against the defendant. He turned to the letters of Senator Quay to Hopkins, which he said all explained themselves. They repre sented ordinary business transactions and he pointed out that whenever Quay wrote to Hopkins to buy stock or make pay ments on his account, the books showed that the senator had ample money in the bank in his own name to cover the trans actions. 'Mr. Shields took up the "plum tree" telegram and directed his most withering sarcasm against "the smallness of tho mids of the men who would use this docu ment against a public man, in view of the fact that Senator Quay had more than $60,000 of his ovn money on deposit and that $10,000 of this was used as margin in the transaction. Taking the regular books of the Peo ple's bank, Mr. -Shields said it was In evi dence that Senator Quay never knew of a Hue of their contents. He "further said the prosecution's own expert had been forced to admit that the books contained fictitious figures and accounts. Mr. Shie'ds argued that this admission destroyed the value of the books as testimony against Senator Quay. Expert Goldsmith's testi mony was denounced as false, and counsel exclaimed dramatically that Pennsylvania was compelled to witness the spectacle of this man being put forward "to despoil her escutcheon and destroy her represent ative." Mr. Shields pointed out that the letter written by State Treasurer Haywood on July 31, 1S9S, promising to increase the state deposit if a loan were made to R. R. Quay, was addressed to James McManes, president of the People's bank. If this was not a political conspiracy, he Sr-ked. why was not McManes arrested months before the persecution of Senator Quay began. He likened the political conspiracy against senator Quay to the Dreyfus affair in-j France. The lawyer took up the "red book" and charged that Senator Quay's name in the hook had been written long after the other entries had been recorded. He asked if it would' be possible that such an intimate personal friend of Mr. Quay as Hopkins was likely to m.sspeH his name and do it twice in succession. In tooth cases "Qoay" was spelled "Quay." This, according to Mr. Shields, was further evidence of the work of somebody implicated In the con spiracy asalast Senator Quay. Mr. Shields opened the hank ledger at the page where on Is recorded the entry of the loan of SKtt.Kft to Senator Quay's aoa and showed that it was really a loan to Sate Senator Kennedy. He charged that the word "Quay" was written long after the- Tan action and he passed the book among the (Continued on Second Page.) When the Spanish Garrisons Leave Mindanao, THREE-PARTY EXCHANGE Of Prisoners Possible But For Fears of 1 rea'chery. Manila, April 20 (6:30 p. m.) Spain's evacuation of the Philippine Islands would be practically completed by the withdrawal of the Spanish garrison from Zamboanga, island of Mindanao, and from the Sulu islands, and if the United States assumes control of Mindanaond the Sulu inlands on the Spaniards with must, shrdleutaoinncmfwypnjnjnppnpnpjn drawing, the military authorities here must, in order to garrison those islands, diminish the forces of the American troops, which are already too small. There was almost mutiny among the Spanish troops in the inlands because they were ordered to proceed to the Ladrone Islands and the Caroline Islands, some of them refusing to do -so, claiming that their en lismenas had expired. Tne latter were exempted and were allowed to return to Spain on board the transport Alava. The native troops in the Spanish garrisons are in a sad plight. They must accompany the Spaniards or risk the vengeance of their compatriots. The Spaniards pro pose to disband them, but they refuse to give up their arms. The natives of Zamboanga, emboldened by the suspicious capture of the arma ments on board the Spanish gunboats which were purchased there by Francisco Reyes, of this place, as cabled to tne As sociated Press on April 13, are ukely to prove troublous when the Spanish garri sons are withdrawn from the coast to vns of the island of Mindanao. It is believed that the smoldering tribal wars will then, be resumed, anarchy will prevail and the inhabitants of nearly every village will fight with their neighbors. A tripartite exchange of prisoners will be arranged if it is possible to negotiate with the Filipinos as If they were a civil led nation. If the Filipinos consent to re lease tho Spanish prisoners the Americans might release the Tagalos they hold prls oners, inf return for which Spain woutd free her political prisoners. The provia lons of the -Paris treaty would thus Le carried out. The Spanish commission however, hesitates to enter the Filipino lines, fearing treachery, although Agum aldo has guaranteed the safe. of tne commissioners The release, of the Fil pinos held by the Americans might be dis- t-ie'y advantageous, as they all claim to have bees co.i erted to the Ameri.-a caute by the good treatment they have received and announce themselves to be anxious to influence their friends in favor of the policy of the United States. A scouting party of the Minnesota regi ment near Guiguinto, between Malolos and Bogaa, met a superior force of Fili pinos this morning. The Americans re pulsed the enemy's attack until, just as their ammunition was failinf, the Minne sotas were reinforced by two companies of American troops, and the rebels were scattered. One soldier of the Minnesota regiment was wounded. A body of about 100 rebels tried to break through the lines of Price's battalion of the Fourth regi ment at Pasig last night, but they were repulsed without any loss on the Amen can side. COLONEL BRYAN AT SYRACUSE IietH Out About Two tickfuLs 3Ioro of Solid Minion Unil Syracuse, X. Y., April 20. The Alh.im bra, with a seating capacity of 3,000 peo ple,, was comfortably filled with an en thusiastic crowd tonight to hear Colonel "William Jennings Bryan. Mr. Bryan, on being introduced, was cheered to the echo. His address covered old ground, on the subject of income tax and the currency. Taking up tho subject of expansion, Mr. Bryan' said: "A large standing army is a burden to tax payers and a menace to the public. This nation can depend upon it svolun teers. They can defend it in the hour of danger. (Vociferous cheering.) "What has happened to make more sol diers necessary? Nothing but a Repub lican administration. The president says the occupation of Cuba is temporary; there is no trouble In Porto Rico. Seventy thousand soldiers are wanted to carry the benign blessings of freedom to nine mil lion Filipinos. "Who will pay th cost? If the Filipinos, rhey must be taxed four times as high as Spain taxed them. "If we pay it, ask a gold man to show you how it w ill get back to the tax payers. Common people furnish soldiers, and syn dicates get the money paid for war. I dont want a single soul to be brought un der the American flag unless he can share In every Messing of this government. (Great applause.) Shall we call our chif executive president of the United States and emperor of the Philippines? Gov erned by one man backed by force is despotism. "People who re opposed to taking the Philippines plead not for the Filipino but for the American people, lest they aaay by becoming accustomed to despotism bo prepared, to yield to despots. I oppose Christianity tired oat of a Galling gun. The man who is htt does not need the gos pel. Does the laboring man want Orien tal labor io compete with h'.nl, Every nation in. Europe wants as guilty of con quest. If we are to become an empire, let j us send BarthokU's stmtns bock to Franc and go back to Stwrland and borrow a statue of William the Conqueror. I-et ns treat the Filipinos as we would the Cu bans, and we wll erect in the harbor of Manila a new statue of liberty in the old w'orhi."

The others do not object to some form of American intervention in the gov ernment of the island, and they say they believe a personal meeting between Aguin aldo and Admiral Dewey, in whom alone the Filipinos declare they have confidence, will lead to a settlement. ROUND-THE-WORLD AMBITIONS Cherished by the "Western Soldier Hoys are itudefy Sqnelchcd., Topeka, Kan., April 20. Governor Stan ley received a letter from the secretary of war relative to the request that the Twen tieth Kansas be brought home by way of the Suez canal in which he says: "Re quests of this character have come from almost every organization now serving in the Philippines from states west of the Missouri and the uniform reply has been given to all of these that, as no trans ports In the Pacific will be sent back to the United States by way of the Suez ca nal it will not be possible to return any troops at any place other than at San Francisco. The fleet of transports now on the Pacific ocean Is so limited that it would not be practicable, if other conditions per mitted, to take any of them from their present stations." OTIS NEEDS 30.000 MEN r Reinforcement to Urine Him to That Ji:rnpp arc Jllovin g Forward. "Washington, April 20. Secretary Alger has received a reply from General Otis to his inquiry of yesterday as to whether the reinforcements proposed to be sent to him to relieve the volunteers would be sufficient for the purposes of the cam paign. General Otis replies in the af firmative, the estimate of SO.OOO men to constitute the army, agreeing with his own calculations. The program for the movement of the regulars out to Manila and of the volunteers homeward, there fore, will be carried out according to Gen eral Otis' statement contained in his dis patch of yesterday. General Otis adds to hib message the hopeful remark that he expects very shortly to be able to report a decided improvement in the situation in the Philippines. The volunteers in the Philippines will come home in the order in which they sailed for Manila. The date upon which each troop sailed follows: May 25, First California, Second Oregon and detachment California artillery; June 25, A and B, Utah artillery, Tenth Pennsylvania, First Colorado and First Nebraska; June 29, First North Dakota, Thirteenth Minne sota, First Idaho and First Wyoming; July 19, First Montana; July 23, Firt South Dakota; October 19, First Wash ington; October 7, Twentieth Kansas; Oc tober 30, First Tennessee; November 3, Fifty-first Iowa; November G, Troop Ne vada caalry; November 9, First Wyo ming battery. New York, April 20. A special from Washington savs: Fourteen 'thousand regulars are to be sent to re-enforce Gen eral Otis at Manila as soon as the neces sary marine transportation can be pro vided. They will be sent at once to San Francisco to await an available trans port. It is not expected that the bulk of the large body of re-enrorcements can reach Manila until the end of the rainy season, but they will closely follow the departure from the Philippines of the vol unteers. With the regular trooosialreadv ordered and on the way to Manila, Gen eral Otis will have an effective force of 21,728 men in addition to the recruits being sent every few days for the regiments al ready in the Philippines. FAVORABLE TO "DREYFUS TTVcut3--Fonr More Coium tin of Court of Ctitinn Ten tiniony. Paris, April 20. The Figaro, continuing today its publication of testimony offered before the court of cessation in the Drey fus revision inquiry, devotes 24 columns to some twenty depositions of minor offi cials, most of which are favorable to Dreyfus. It gives also a fac-simile of the bordereau. Major Forseinetti, who was director of the Cherche-Midi prison in 1S90, at the time of the condemnation of Dreyfus, testified that Dreyfus consist ently and persistently protested his inno cence, and, after he was condemned, re peatedly asked for a revolver, declaring that his only crime was In having been born a Jew. The witness said that after the petition for a revision of the trial by the court martial was rejected Colonel Du Paty De Clam visited Drejfus and tried his utmost to draw from him a con fession that he had entrapped into a guilty communication of documents a for eign power. Dreyfus energetically protest ed that he was not guilty and Colonel Du Paty de Clam said, in parting from him, "If you are really innocent, jou tare the greatest martyr of the country." Ma jor Forseinetti told the court that he questioned Captain Le Brun-Renaud re garding the alleged confessions of Drey fufa, but Captain LeBrun-Renaud prompt ly denied that Dreyfus had confessed any thing. Major Forseinetti added that, al though he and Major Alleles were on terms of great friendship, the latter 'had never mentioned any confession to him. Forseinetti declared that he was con vinced of the innocence of Dreyfus. Many others testified for and against Dreyfus. There were numerous witnesses who deposed that they had come into contact with Captain Lebrun-Renaud and that the Abbe ValadW. to whom Captain Lebrun-Renaud described a score of times the degradation tcene without alluding to an confession. HIGHBINDER WAR" IN FRESNO Three Chinamen Killed, Two Wound ed ntid ino in .Jail. Fresno, Cal April 20. A bloody high binder war that has been expected for some days, broke out in Chinatown early htis morning, and as a result three Mon golians occupy clabs in the morgue, two more are at the county hospital, mor tally, wounded, and nine are behind the bars in the county jail. The officers have anticipated an outbreak for some time, as it was known that large numbers of hatchet men had arrived here from San Francisco, bat so cunning were their plana that not an officer was dose enough to witness the opening of the battle. The Chinese had" decoyed the policemen on duty In that district to various quar ters remote from the scene of their in tended onslaught. Upon hearing the Urtt shot. Policeman Rapelji. who wa a block away, ran to The aOey north of Tulare street, between F and G. where ne saw two Chinese pumping lead Into the body of a third Chinese, w-ho lay dead at their i feet.

The special committee appointed by the serake to give hearing to parties interested in the Arkansas anti-trust bill now pending in the Texas legislature, today made their report to the senate, recommending that the bill be passed without any amend ments at all, save one providing that the bill shall not become operative until Jan uary 1, 1900. The committee states that representatives of the labor unions of .he state ask that they be exempt from The provisions of the bill by amendments, but a3 the bill does not touch them, in the opinion of the committee, it is suggested that no amendment be added to the aill. In this particular the house committee re port disbents In that it recommends that an amendment exempting the labor unions be added. The house committee also tack ed on an amendment providing that no insurance company pooling in another state In tho Union and doing business tn this state shall be held responsible for the pool without the state. Tills is where the strong fight will come over the pa&sage of the bill, as this is the clause the in surance people want added. A majority of the. house are opposed to this amendment and the probabilities are that the bill will pass without it. The senate committee had something of a sensation today and incurred an interesting debate over a preposition to appoint a committee to in vett!gte who was paying tolls for fh hcisands of telegrams the members were Lung deluged with. The statement vns ns.de on the floor of the senate thatthe li -e insurance people were spending thou sands of dollars in thir efforts to intimi date legislation on this subject and that they were responsible for all this tele-' graphing. Some of the members fere of the opinion that other trusts were behind the opposition to the bill as well as the fire insurance companies. After a lengthy discussion the senators decided that they were all acquainted with the fact that the fire insurance people were behind the telegraphic business and they voted down the resolution for the investigating com mittee. The tide seems to have turned in favor of the anti-trust bill today, and some petitions are being received asking for its passage. No discussion will be held before Monday. Little Rock, Ark., April 20. Attorney General Davis today Instituted In Pulaski circuit court thirtysix suits for $5,000 each against the Connecticut Fire Insurance company, charging it with being a mem ber of the pool, trust agreement, combina tion or arrangement with other corpora tions engaged in similar business to regu late or fix the price or premium to be paid for insuring property. The suits cover each day since March 6, when the new anti-trust law became effective. The aggregate against the company is 5150,000.

T., April 20. (Special.) At torney General Cunningham, on behalf of the territory, will endeavor to have set aside the temporary injunction and re straining order granted by the probate judge- of Oklahoma county against Oil Inspector Amos Ewing on behalf of flie Waters-Pierce Oil company. It is alleged that the purpose of the oil people In en joining the inspector for the period of thirty days Is to secure time to work off the present stock of oil and gasoline on Land, despite the fact of its rejection by the oil inspector. To defeat this alleged purpose the attorney general has wired Judge Burwell, who Is holding court at Tecumseh, to set an early date for the hearing of the motion to set aside the injunction. That it is the intention of the territory to give the oil trust a vigorous aight, Is made evident by the fact that the attorney general hase taken personal charge of the case, and that by the direc tion of the governor he has employed Hon. Henry H. Howard, a prominent member of the Oklahoma City bar, as advisory counsel. ALLEGED INDIAN-BURNER Jim Junes Is to be Taken to .Muskogee for Trial. Guthrie, O. T., April 20. (Special.)

GEORGE Or so the Defense Contends Newton George's Story. Canton, O., April 20. The defense for Mrs. George today put on the stand a witness who testified that she saw a man in a long black mackintosh and cape, wearing a white sailor hat passing her home, which is one of the routes from the Althouse home to the center of the city, soon after the shooting of Saxton. This evidence was intended to corroborate the story of the "man in black." that was seen approaching the Althouse home by one of the witnesses who testified yesterday. Newton George, the 17-year-old son of the accused, was put on the stand to testify as to intimate relations he had witnessed (between his mother and Saxton. Quite a number of court records were introduced in evidence. The closing hour of the day indicated that the defense had nearly concluded its case. The defense began today an attack upon state witnesses alleged to be addicted to the opium and morphine habits. Dr. Ey man, superintendent of the state asylum for the insane, testified, as an expert, that a person addicted to these habits loses honor and truthfulness and retains little or no principle. Alva Whipple, H. E. Mook and Mrs. Mook testified to the darkness of the night. W. R. Dewes, Mrs. Maud Randall and Joseph A. Leppert testified to burrs growing along" the sidewalk next to the house where Mrs. George roomed. Thomas Shepard, the former janitor, was recalled and testified to having heard Saxton say he would kick Mrs. George out of the block if she did not stay out. S. S. Kaufmann, cashier of the City Natiobal bank, testified to issuing drafts to Saxton to the amount of about JoOO, which were cashed in South Dakota, either by Mrs. George or by others for her. James Huddell, night clerk at the Fed eral hotel, Allegheny, testified that Sax ton and Mrs. George registered as C. D. Smith and wife ,of Toledo, on March 13, 1S96. Miss Lizzie Miller testified that on the night of October 7 she saw passing her home in Linden avenue 'a form in black which looked like a woman. "When it came closer the corner of the cape turned back arid she found itw'as h. man with a long black coat and Cape. Linden avenue is a possible route to the city from the Alt house place. The defense demanded the attendance of .Mrs. M. .C. Barber, Saxton's sister, in court fn the afternoon, with papers and corespondence. A messenger was sent for Tier. During the wait Mr. Pomerone an nounced that Mrs. George today looked at a witness and shook her head at him. Also that she did the same thing yester day. The statement was stricken from the record. Lizzie Miller, when cross-examined about the man in the black mackintosh that she saw passing her house coming from the direction of the Althouse home, paid she recalled this man the next morn ing after reading of the murder of Sax ton. Her description of the man as to his garments tallied with that ascribed to Mrs. George by other witnesses. The wit ness claimed to have seen the movements of this man's body very distinctly at a distance of a hundred feet, although, she said, it was dark and drizzling. Attorney W. O. Werntz was again on the stand today. He said Mrs. Finley, who had testified to rdls. George's threats, h.id in a peace proceeding testified that Mrs. George was a most estimable and peaceable woman who had never threat enedlanybody and who owned no revolver. He further testified to the loss of several letters from Saxton to Mrs. eGorge in which terms of affection were used and In which Mrs. George's ownership of the goods in dispute was acknowledged. The published copies of the letters were ad mitted .after Jacob Reigner, who as re porter had copied them for his paper, and several other witnesses, had been evam ined regarding them. Newton George told of twp occasions he had lived In the Saxton block, first with hi? father and mother, and again with his mother alone. He told the mere fact that his mother and father had separated. He said Saxton was. often in the rooms dur ing both times they lived in the Saxton block. Saxton sent the children to bed, gave them presents and often gave Mrs. George candy and flowers. He also said he had seen his mother on Saxton's lap a number of times.

While Ged Is generally credi -ted with the invention of stereotyping, the date of this work is commonly given as 1739. As all of the three copies in the British Museum were, published in 1744, it is believed that the assignment of the earlier date is due to the repeated copying of an arly writer's mistake. Noteworthy (bindings are shown in Jean Groller's copy of 'Jamblichus de Mys teriis Egyptiorum,' printed by Aldus, 1516; Samuel Heme's 'Account of the Charter House. London. 1677: Anarcreon's odes.

A striking feature of the library is the collection of the editions of Herodotus, pro bably including every one of Importance up to the death of Mr. Pheonix, whose special interest in the historian was stimu lated by trayel in Egypt. In all there about 600 volumes of Herodotus, and works relating to him. Among the most valuable editions are the first Aldine, Venice, 1502, a French edition of the Greek text, elegantly printed by Henricus Stephanus, 1370; a French translation, Du Ryer, Paris, 1645; the first English version, containing only the two books 'Clio' and Euterpe.' printed iby Thomas Marshe, London, 15S4, and a -i-ellum edition, Lelpsic, 1S01.

Taking up the allegation of the payment of interest on state deposits and the set ting aside of $200,000 for Senator Quay, Mr. Shields again attacked the credibility of Expert Goldsmith, who. he charged, drew outrageous inferences in arbitrarily pick ing out figures to -fit his theories. He claimed vehemently: "While we are told figures cannot lie, they can be made to he by a liar." "He asked the jury to examine the "red book" carefuHy, asserting that they would discover that somebody had gone through the book hurriedly and written in the word "Quay" wherever It appeared. Then he directed their attention to the fact that Assistant Cashier KemoJe, the prow cusion's witness, had stated that he rec ognized all of the handwriting In the book as that of Hopkins' except the word "Quay."

Yesterday the live stock markets all over reported early a market quotation as strong to 5 cents higher. The Wichita market caught the buoyancy and enthisl asm and at once responded with a like quotable basis. All the hogs, both from the local and wagon trade division and the car lots, were sold at practically 5 cents higher than the average for Wednesday, und the only diverging opinion among the dealers and professionals was strong to 5 cents higher. It was not an especially busy day, although what hog stuff came in was promptly disposed of at good prices and the only feature of possible dullness "was the lack of hogs. Had more prime lat hogs- arrived they would have met with ready sale, and the only drawback -ft as the light supply. In regard to the 1 ittor feature of the local market. It may said that even this was not at all ab normally small. The volume of offerings was below those of the day previous by about 2S0, but were slightly in excess of the same day last week, and, everything considered, it was a very fair day's sup ply.' The local wagon trade took up all the trading attention of the morning, and "when the car lots did commence to arrive fiey were promptly bid upon and later transferred to buyers. There were 8 cars t Id and weighed up in all, and all went at very good prices, to the best interests of the shipper or seller.

Soon after the call this demand fell off quite abruptly owing to better weather report from the coton region than looked for. While show ing a fair degree of steadiness during the rest of the morning, the market was very quiet, with scarcely a point variation from the opening figures. Wall Street sent a few limited buying orders and New Or leans representatives were also purchas ers on the opening call. But at best the volume of trading was very light and positive new features were not in evi dence. Crop accounts were of pronounced bearish purport, reflecting rapid progress in ail preparations and good growing wea ther where the plant has appeared above ground.

HE GIVES HIS VERSION Of the Prosecution of the Dupe "of Napoleon III. New York, April 20 A special from Washington to the Journal says: Snubbed and Insulted because he per formed a military duty thirty-two years ago. Senor Manuel Aspiroz, Ambassador to the United States from Mexico, Is hav m gan experience the parallel of which Is not to be found in diplomatice history. He is ostracised by European representatives accredited to the- United States because he was the presecutor of Maximillian of Mexico. The representative of one Re public at the capital of a sister Republic, Ambassador Aspiroz finds himself flouted because the representatives of royalty dis approve of an act performed by the Am bassador as a patriot and a soldier. I One of the sadest and most romantic tragedies of the century is thus recalled by a social sensation In these modern days. 4 Maximillian. an amiable Prince, a musi cian, an arevhiteer, an artist, unable to appreciate the Western spirit, believed he was a divine instrument for the educa tion, upbuilding and government of the benighted masses in Mexico. He left his palace, which he had designed and decor ated, his chairs and cabinets, which he sought to take possession of Mexico. The United States frowned. The French array retired. Maximillian, "consecrated to his duty," remained. He had but a handfull of followers. He Intrenched him self 'in Queretaro. The weaknesses of his defenses were betrayed by some of his followers. The Mexican army captured the city, tried Maximillian by court martial, sentenced hinr to death and one gray morning led him forth for execution. Ambassador Aspiroz was the Judge-Advocate of the court. He was thirty-one j'ears old and detailed to the responsible duty of his chief. He had served with dis tinction in the war. He was a lawyer and his was the duty, to convince the military trlbunal that Maximilian was punishable by death. It was a mooted question. To the rest of the civilized world he was a prisoner of war. His execution was a shock to Christendom, as all Europe held he should have been parolled and deported. "So you would like to have my story of the part I played In the tragedy of Maxi millian's sentence and death. "Well, iti was simply the carrying out of my duty as prosecuting attorney for the Republic. "That was thirty-two years ago; we will have to roll back the time. My commis sion was given me by the general of the Mexican army. General Escobedo.to whom I was aide-de-camp, or I think' you would call it in English, his field adjutant. This commission was to serve as presecuting at torney to the military commission, by which Maximillian was tried and condemn ed to death. This court was held at San Luis Potosi and was, as are.' all judicial tribunals In Mexico, a most grave and dignified one. "The court was open to all, Therewere no secret convenings, no star chamber pro ceedings. The public was a'are all the time of what was going on. I was then n young man of thirty-one years, but as well an experienced lawyer, and it was be cause of this that I was selected as prose cuting attorney by the military commis sion "On that eventful day, the record of which has so long siince passed into his tory, I made the speech that fell to my part because of my official connection with the case. "I was not given my instructions in the case by my government. The speech was the summing up of the judicial points of the case, and was made in accordance with my personal knowledge as a lawyer and in accordance with the laws of the Re public. It was a speech to which earnest thought and all my ability had been given. It was In word the effort of my life. It -was listened to by" that vast audience in the very stillness of death Itself. We in Mexico had so serious an appreciation of the gravity of the situation and of the oc casion that not even an audible breath disturbed the perfect quiet that reigned while I talked and that marked the close of the sseech. "Then followed the hearing of the ac cusation and defences. The defendants spoke at length and with eloquence for Maximilian nad the other two accused. Gen. Miguel Mlramon and Gen. Thomas Mejla. Theso two official prisoners were present in court and upon them centred the attention of the audience. Maximil ian was not there. He was 111. That is, his defendents so alleged. "The tragedy came with the pronouncing of the death sentence, which was in the form of a legal judgement. But it was a tragedy too deep for words. "How did the two condemned Generals bear the sentence- Like soldiers. They gave no sign of their emotion. It was m silence that it fell. It was in silence the audience sat out throughout everything thai day when Maximilian was condemned to toe shit. It was the military commis sion that pronounced the death sentence. The voices that stirred the stillness were those of the lawyers for the protect: Uon and defence. "With the proaoveing of the sentence my official connection ceased with the commission- I never raw Maximilian after that. I was not present at the sbooong. "Was I ostracized m any way? Were any inefvflties shown me ai tne time be cause of my connection with the case? None whatever. I remained in Mexico and practiced law.

H came to this city to replace Mr. Gush ing, a very prominent lawyer of this coun try.w ho was sent by the- "United States Government to Geneva on the Alabama Claims Commission. For ten months I remained here and during that time Mr. Mariscal was Minister. It was before Senor Romero had been appointed to this mission. "From here I went to San Francisco as Mexican Consul, remaining there for two years, until 1S75 I was elected to the Senate in Mexico. My duties as Senator contin ued until Neventber, 1S76. when General Diaz routed the then established Govern ment and established a new Government. I then retired to private life. "Did know the Princess Salm-Salm you ask- Well, of course, at that time, Ye?, you may say I knew her because of her efforts in behalf of Maximillian. But she had never an official connection with the case. Nor was she present at the military court hefore which MrtXimillian was tried and condemned." Senor Asplroz's military caceer was short and brilliant. In 1S62 when Secre tary of the State College of Pueblarhe was appointed a second lieutenant of artttlery of the patriot army by General Ignacio Saragoza. He participated in tfte hostili ties with credit and was decorated by the Mexican Congress. He was promoted to a captaincy, sustained the selge of the French for a time, but Puebla was finally taken. He escaped from the Improvised prison over the house tops, and had so distinguished himself at this seige that he was by law exempt from taxation for the remainder of his life. For three years he fought in th? battle of Ariceachio was again captured but released. In 1S57 be cause of his ability, legal knowledge and patriotism he was assigned as judge-advocate of one of the most important, mili tary tribunals ever convened. The trial of Maximilian, which Senor Apirpz describes, was perhaps the most dramatic court martial In all history- San Luis Potosi, the little mud-walled city where it was held, took on a holiday aspect for the event. The trial was held .in the Theatre Tturbide, the largest audi torium in the place. The military court sat on the stage. The Insurgent generals and the noted civilians boxes. The body of the hall was packed with as an excited Mexican audience, as ever gathered to see a bull fight. Senor Aspiroz, acted as prosecuting at torney for the newly risen Mexican Re public. He was a young man then, and he presented the case against the captured monarch with fiery, almost ferocious, elo quence. Then came upon the stage some of Mexi co's formost lawyers to defend Maximil ian. The court merely listened in sullen con tempt. The verdict of the court came quick and decis-ive. It was "Guilty," and the sen tence was "death. Fve days later, the 19th of June, was set for his execution. Weak and Incapable as Maximilian had been as a ruler he rose to greatness as death approached. When the soldier en tered his cell with the death warrant, the priies-t whD had come to console the doom ed man was himself overcome, wh'le the Emperor's valet felL to his knees and sob bed. Maximilian had refused the means of escape oitced to hi.n by the German Prince Salm-Salm and his plucky Ameri can wife, the Princess Salm-Salm, who returndo to this country only last week When Maximilian was brougit before the file of t'cldiers who were to shoot him and his two generals, Mlramon and Mejla, his final plea to the officer in charge was that they might be spared and he a'-.me suffer the death penalty. The only answer was a voley and the three fell together. Ferdinand Maximilian Jospph, who for three years had been Emperor of Mexico, was but thirty-five years old at the time of hi? death. As Archduke of Austria and Viceroy of. Venice he had laid aside those honors to take up the empty title of Empercr of a barbaric nation. He went to Mexico un willingly but urged by Napoleon IIL of France. This a part of the tatter's scheme to set up a monarchy in Mexico that would be friendly to France. French soldiers had prepared the -way hy capturing the City of Mexico .ird the central provinces. Maximilian On his ar rival became a puppet ruler under French military protection. Whon the failure of Napoleon's pit.t was foreseen the French troops were with drawn, in February, 1S67. Maximilian's doom was certain from that time. BASEBALL Clubs. Played. Won. IosL P.

The marked feature of the general public disgust over the action of state legislatures is Its helplessness. There is no remedy under -the sun for the ailment, no instrument at hand to put a stop to the general custom of idle, trivial foolery kicked, up in every state capital in the Union once In every two years. There are plenty of Instances of legislative Idiocy at hand. The Pennsylvania legislature is the most recent example. The legislature, as its brothers in other states, was elected from eheer habit, mostly, but Its one imperative duty was to elect a United States senator. It was not elected to select any one man for the United States senate, or to oppose any one man. Its constitutional function was to select a senator, whoever he might toe, but at all events to select him. The legislature did nothing of the kind. In fact, it did nothing at all but dally and delay and quarrel and fume through its session, and finally adjourned without action. Then there is the recent case in Arkansas. A state legis lature is supposed to be called together for the enactment of Jaws 'beneficial to the state in which it is called. About half The time the state legislatures, on the contrary, slop over into an imbecile effort to shape some national sentiment. Legisla tures are forever memorialling congress, resolutlng for this thing and against that thing. The Arkansas legislature felt that the nation should be taken down a peg or two. It first called Colonel Bryan before it to relate what really ailed the nation. 'Colonel Bryan having diagnosed the case, with his usual deep under-current of presidential-nomlnatlon-flshing whimper, the Arkansas legislature promptly set in to wipe the nation up in approved style. First of all, it abolished labor unions because they were trusts. It drove all the life insurance and fire insurance companies out of the state, to the frenzy of property owners,who are without fire protection. Take our own state, for Instance. How many of our legis latures accomplish anything? Look at the special 'session, en acting a law to regulate railroad rates, the said law being drawn up by a prominent railroad attorney. "What did the regular session of the legislature do? Is there anywhere in any state legislature evidence of a sin cere, solid, business-like effort to benefit the state which it rep resents, commercially, morally, socially or otherwise? Isn't the most marked thing of all legislatures the creation of new of fices? "Where and when is this thing going to end? From present prospects, nowhere and never. The disgusted people, who would like to see the legislature meet for a week, pass the eentlal appropriations and return home, are without recourse. They must continue to sweat under the expense of a biennial convocation of political idlers, who have long ago ceased to be r? material value to their constituents individually or collect ively, and have become to general good sense nauseating in their total want of effectiveness. J Pay in Four Professions. "William E. Curtfg contributes a very interesting paper to the Home Study Circle on the salaries paid in the various pro fessions. The Chicago Herald notes that naturally and wisely he confines his attention to those which stand out like beacon lights before the bulging eyes of the asph-ing youths who sivarm to the professions attracted by the hoary old saying "that there Is plenty of room and big pay at the top. Mr. Curtis was moved to his dissertation on professional Falarles by -the fact that Rabbi Hirsch has been offered $15,000 a. year for fifteen years to remain as pastor of Sinai congrega tion in Chicago. New York has numerous Instances where clergymen receive from $10,000 to $20,000. The late Dr. Hall of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, had $20,000 and a manse. Henry "Ward Beecher was paid $20,000 a year, which barely sufficed to main tain his Peeksklll farm. Bishop Potter has $15,000 with a rec tors, with its upkeep thrown in. Outside of New York, how ever, salaries of $10,000 snd upward are almost as few and far between as American coaling stations in the Pacific before Dewey sailed into Manila bay. Among physicians both in New York-and Chicago there are specialists whose Incomes range from $25,000 to $30,000 and up ward, and scores of practitioners who make from $10,000 to i 5-,000 annually. Ministering to the body is a very much more lucrative profession than ministering to the soul. It Is also more wearing on the practitioner and patient. It is 'hard to get at lawyers' Incomes. Tney have fat years and lean years, seasons of plenty and months when the sight of a big round fee is as welcome as the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land. Mr. Curtis tells fairy stories of lawyers re ceiving foes of more than a quarter of a million in single cases. But these instances gonerally Imply some sort of commission on gigantic negotiations. There are many legal firms whose Jncomos run over $100,000 a year, but the expenses of such firms ore very great They maintain large establishments and pay salaries of from $5,000 to $15,000 to first class attorneys who play the part of subordinates, whose names do not even appear on fie firm stationery. The ruling charge for lawyers in court Is SloO a day, and some eminent counsel make It J5G0 a day. The Onigcao Herald says it Is needless to say that there are thou sands of lawyers in New York and Chicago who are operTTo engagements for one-tenth of the smaller figure. Mr. Cm Us represents the profession ot journalism as the P ore&t paid of the four. There are not, he says, in all New York, sixteen editors, aside from proprietors, who receive Jin.OuO or upward a year. The Income of an editor like James Gordon Bennett probably exceeds that of any half dozen law yers In New York, a score of physicians or a whole wilderness of parsons. But there aro only two sub-editors on the New York Herald, who are paid $1$900 a year. Mr. Curtis says that the highest editorial salary in the United States is $15,000. In proportion to the demands made upon them, the equip ment necessary for their vocation and the necessity for accur acy and range in the rapid-fire cni.acter of their Information the jewns list's rralesdon Is the potest paid -if the o' Oa'y xrtwn he l-.ownro out Into tictipn and soa-.-, away from grinding facts is his pay commensurate with his preparation and re-epobibllity. ing the forenoon of that day there was a conference between the admiral and his commanding officers in the admiral's cabin of the Olympia. From the reports which had been received from Manila it was believed that Admiral Montejo would choose one of two places for an engagement. It was expected that he would keep his ships either under the protection of the forts which lined the bay at Manila and at Cavite, or that his feel: would go to.Subig bay, forty miles to the northward of Ctiregidor, and there await the coming of the .raeicans In the discussion of plans of probable attack Admiral Dewey suggestedforming bis ships in line, and going n bows 'on to fight the Spaniards if they were found at either of the places named. His plan was to go at them at close range, and to fight with every gun that could be traine.l upon their ships and forts. Mr. Brumby suggested keeping our ship3 under way and passing In front of the Spaniard, firing broadsides and turning, so as to bTing the other guns of the ships Into actlcn. This was Uie plan finally agreed upot and earned into effect with such signal success. The desire of Admiral Dewey to give full credit to those who deserved it caused him to discuss this matter freely after the victory. He told me personally of the suggestion Mr. Brumby made and of Its adoption. Long cipher dispatches were 'being received from the navy department each day by Admiral Dewey, and It was a year ago today he received a message announcing the adoption of a resolution by congress regarding Cuba, which caused a sever ance of diplomatic relations between the United States and Spain and precipitated the Inevitable conflict. The receipt of fhis rews made it z. practical certainty that there would be war. Rcunseviile "Wildman, the consul general of the United States In Hong Kcng, also received news of the joint reso.utioi passed from ccnziefs, and it was from him I first learned of this action. The Progress of flexico. Mexico is1 one of the few countries fortunate enough to en joy surplus revenues without increasing taxation. The general development of the business of the Mexican republic, with en tire freedom from wars or greatly increased expenditures for military or naval purposes, has resulted in a marked rise in the current price of Mexican bonds, a surplus income and gen eral ease In the financial position of the government. Such conditions are agreeable to all right-minded Ameri cans; They are conducive to the increased purchaslsg power of one of our growing customers .when the matter is viewed from the material side, and the. progress of Mexico, with a popu lation mainly of mixed races and dominated by the ideas and customs of the Latin countries of Europe, Is an object lesson of the possibilities of free institutions, in form at least, which contrasts well with any record ever made under conditions at all similar by a monarchical government of any kind. For instance, the prosperity and growth of Mexico contrasts sharply with the condition of the British colonies in the West Indies, which are governed by men sent out from England for that purpose. Brazil, under the empire, was never so sound and progressive as Mexico is now. Of course, all this is largely the result of the power and wisdom of one man, that remarkable master of Mexico for many years. President Porfirio Diaz. When he dies there may be a sad change in Mexican conditions, but it Is reasonable to hope that most of the gains made may be retained and the progress of the country continued, though more' slowly and with mistakes which were not made under the present ruler of the Mexican people. i i Republicans and Civil Service. The "Republicans of Boone county, Kentucky, adopted a resolution against civil service, and, in the language of the reso lution, "A civil service president should stand a civil service examination before his nomination." Delegates to Republican conventions in Kentucky should be compelled to stand some sort of an examination before being permitted to attend a con vention as Republicans. One subject upon which they snou'.d be examined Is the platform adopted by the Republican party in national convention assembled. It Is exasperating to the n("i who have 'fought the battles of the Republican party to se tht-lr political enemy retained in office, especially wnen the enemy has never experienced any examination and taunt the more intelligent and better qualified victor with the spoils that they enjoy. But the Republican party is aparty for principle and not'for spoils, and Boone county Republicans shouid study their catechism. Dewey's Prize Honey, Admiral Dewey's share of the prize money won by the fleet at Manila will not be less than JC0.000. The sailors have put In a claim for prize money based upon the theory that the fleet engaged a superior force and won, and is, therefore, entitled to an extra allowance because of the fact The naval statutes speclflclally provide that the crews of ships and fleets which de feat superior forces shall have extra compensation in the way of prize money. The American people will rejoice In the fact that Admiral Dewey is to receive compensation for his services. He has re ceived a deserved promotion. He will be accorded a reception 1 when he comes home such as no other American has ever re ceived. The public will be pleased if the prize court decides that Admiral Dewey and his men are entitled to the extra compensation claimed. Governor Roosevelt has signed the law in New York pro hibiting doctors from telling the aliments of the patients either bafore or after death. The people will finally get on an equal footing with the life insurance companies. How Dewey. Planned His Battle. E. W. Harden of Chicago, formerly of Kansas, who was with Dewoy at Manila, under date of April 19, writes to the Chicago Tribune: Admiral Dewey in theory fought the battle of Manila In Hong Kong harbor before the vessels of his fleet were ordered to quit the waters of the bay at the breaking out of hostilities. In anticipation of a conflict with Spain the navy department had secured all the information possible regarding points of possible attack by the vessels of the United" States navy, including Manila. Exact information had been obtained as to the number and sise ot the guns mounted on the water front of Manila and in Cavite. Admiral Dewey knew as well as Admiral Montejo the number of Spanish ships, their armament and speed. He over-estimated their Hunting strength, however as he gave them credit for being in thorough condition, when it was shown afterward that the Castilla's machinery was disabled and the Don Antonio de UHoa was far from At when the day of aodon came. One has only to read the mode dispatches sent by Admiral Dewey to -Washington, announcing his victory over the at at the enemy, to understand his character. He has never sought to gain crat for himself, and no one was more surprised that he at the way in which the people In the United Stales received the news of his victory. He recognised that he had dose wB, but- he Is far from ready to take all the credit to hferoeif grow ing out ot the victory of Manila. Flag Lieutenant T. M.

Two Bidders Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Franklyn had got tired ot;Hfe in the country. The gothic roof leaked under its braided greenery of wistaria vines and honey suckle; the kitchen stood an inch deep in water whenever there was a trifle heavier rain than usual, and the half mile walk from the depot, however en chanting in flowery time, gave Mr. Frank lyn a jumping neuralgia when traversed in a drizzly equinoctial. The butcher for got to call just when his wares were needed most, the next-door neighbor charged a little more than city prices for his milk, eggs, and buttery and the cook and chambermaid left at the end of the first month. So that life in the rural districts was not altogether without trials to Mrs. Lau rance Franklyn, and about the time that New York houses break out into a harm less erysipelas of bills, having the le gends: "To let" and "For sale," she said to her husband: "Don't you think, dear, It would be well enough for us to return to the city?" "Yes, I do," said Mr. Franklyn. Miss Julia Leslardi, Mrs. Franklyn's pretty IS-year-old sister, clapped her hands. "Good! good!" cried she. 'Now I shall have some sort of chance at morning. con certs and the opera again!" And house hunting commenced In good earnest. But it flagged after the first edge of en thusiastic enterprise was worn off. None of the houses suited exactly. Mrs. Franklyn said that, as far as she was concerned, she would just as soon stay where they were. Mr. Franklyn re torted that anything was better than an indolent woman. Mrs. Franklyn burst Into tears. Mr. Franklyn went out of the room, banging the door behind. Miss Leslardi declared that all men were brutes, and that she for one never in tended to be married. "I don't care," sobbed Mrs. Franklyn. "It was all Laurence's fault, taking this horrid, damp hole." "O, Bee, how can you sa so?" said Miss Leslardi; "you were as wild after It as he was." "And," added (Bee, Ignoring this inter ruption, "if we have to live on the grass under an umbrella I shall make no fur ther efforts." Mr. Franklyn said the same thing, and Miss Leslardi was just making up her mind to another season of frogs, damp kitchen, and fresh eggs at eight cents apiece, when Bee came exultlngly back from the city one evening. "O, Julia!" cried she, "I've seen the sweetest little gem of a house!" "Been house hunting, eh?" said Miss Leslardi, who had got tea ready (the thirteenth "help" had gone off in a huff that morning). ""Well no, not exactly house hunting, you know. I wouldn't do that after Lau rence's shameful behavior! But I saw the bill and I went in. The neighborhood delightful, the park handy "And the rent?" eagerly demanded Miss Xesiardl, with eyes like blue moons. "Only eighteen hundred a year." "O!" said Julia. "But isn't that a great aeair "Not when you consider the price of houses in general. I'll go back tomorrow and secure It; but mind, it's a secret I don't want Laurence to know that I have taken any trouble, after his hateful words!" Mrs. Franklyn had retired to bed when her husband came home. Miss Leslardi, however, was up to pour his tea. "Well, Julia," said Mr. Franklyn, "I've found the house we want" Julia looked up with almost a scared ex pression in her face. "You haven't taken it, Laurence?" "No; but I shall tomorrow." "I wouldn't do anything without con sulting Bee," pleaded Julia. "I shall give her a pleasant surprise," said Mr. Franklyn, buttering a muffin. "Remember, Ju, this is between you and me." Early next morning Mr. Franklyn went to New York. Bee followed in the next train; while Miss Lesiardl breathlesslv awaited the crisis. Mrs. Franklyn returned rather earlier than her sister had expected her, with a bright, flushed face. "Well," said Julia, breathlessly. "I've agreed to pay two thousand a year for it," said Mrs. Franklyn. "Two thousand!" echoed -Miss Lesiardl. "I thought it was only eighteen hundred!" "Well, so it was, but there's another party, it seems, anxious ao secure the house, and "O, nonsense!" exclaimed Julia; "that's only the professional landlady's ruse." "O, but it's true," persisted Bee, "for I saw his hat on the sideboard, and I caught a glimpse of his legs walking about in the upper story to see if the paint was In good order on the second floor. So I said I'd give her two thou sand." "And suppose the other party who, I dare say, was the plumber qr gasfitter, or perhaps the carpenter, come to see about repairs should offer twenty-five hun dred?" "He won't," said Bee, confidently. "The noupe isn't worth that." "But I really think. Bee. darling, you'd better speak to Laurence." "So I wlij,' said Bee, "this evening. He will see that his wife is something more than a dead letter In the family. But I want you to go and see the house this afternoon, Julia."

NEVINS Bridal Party Leave on 5:50 Train for Weatherford. One of the most beautiful of quiet home weddings was that at the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. 2.L Nevins, corner of Douglas and Hydraulic yesterday afternoon, when Hiss Clara C. Johnston was united in mar riage to Mr. C. Clarence Marsh, of "Wea therford, O. T. There were but a few in vited guests, among whom were Dr. and Mrs. Oldham, Mr. and Mrs. Ashton, Mrs. O. C Daisy and daughter, Miss Moscehm;, Mr. and 31rs. Dodd, the brothers of the bride, and Mr. John Marsh of Missouri, 2. cousin of the groom. The elegant mansion was profusely dec jprated with flowers, especially arranged to appropriate manner for the occasion. Alusic was furnished by Professor Blume and Mrs. Bamberger, and promptly at 4 o'clock the wedding jarty descended the winding stairway and marched into the cast parlor to "the time of Mendelssohn's wedding march. The bride and groom took their places' before a bank of flowers con sisting of daisies, lilies, ferns, hyacinths and palms, which gave a picturesque and foeautiful abekground to the nuptial scene. Rev. Von Herrllch, pastor of St. John's Episcopal church, pronounced the words of the ceremony, aftr which the bride and groom received the hearty congratulations of all present. An elaborate wedding din ner wa s served at half past four, the din ing room being decorated with flowers. In the center of the tatile stood in a most beautiful vase a large bouquet of bridal roses. After the dinner had been served an hour was pleasantly spent in dancing, and tiio guests, together with host and hostess, made Miss Johnston's wedding day very joyful. The newly married couple took the 5:50 train for "Weatherford, O. T., home of the groom, wtiere they will take up their per manent residence. Miss Johnston needs no introduction to "Wlchitans, having grown to -womanhood in this city, and her friends are legion. All will wish her much joy. The groom is a very popular young lawyer of Weather ford. He is a son of Congressman Marsh of Illinois, one of the loaders of that state. Mr. and Mrs. Marsh received a number of beautiful and costly presents from friends who desired to show their respects to the bride. adamshTsown attorney Footpad Cross Questioned Witnesses in a Vigorous Mnncr. The preliminary tial of Frank Adams, the footpad who held up J. H. Burns, was held yesterday afternoon and he was bound over to the district "court in the sum of $S00. Adams was unable to secure an attorney and County Attorney Amidon gave, him permission to ask the witnesses any questions ho desired in. his own de fense. Adams accepted the opportunity gracefully and conducted his own defense In a manner that indicated that he had cither been before courts often in his ca reer or was endowed with the natural in stincts of a cross-axamlner. Mr. Burns was the first witness called. He testified to abqut the same facts that were published by the Eagle at the time. "When asked If the man who assaulted and robbed him was in, the room he turn ed and pointed out Adams, saying that he recognized him as the man. He identi fied the checks which Adams relieved him of, and also the hat and overcoat tvhich Adams wore. Adams, as his own attorney, failed to change any of Mr. Burns testimony In the severe cross-questioning which he tried to inflict. Ben Simons, bartender) at Frank Gard's place, testified that Adams was in Irs place the night just after the robbery and spent some money and also left the checks which ho had taken from Burns. After Attorney Amidon finished questioning Si mons he said to Adams: "Do you wish to question the witness, Mr.' Adams?" "Yes, I will take a few," he said. "Now Vu say I had five pennies, which I left with you for another drink, did you, Mr. Simons?" "Yes, sir." "And I played the slot machine with a n-ckel, did I?"' "Yes, sir.

John Linger, who owns tho place where Adams was arrested, was next called and testified to having eeen the prisoner at his place before and after the hold up. "Take the witness, Mr. Adams," said the prosecutor. "That's a prety hard thin?: to po up Bgainst, but I'll try.

Detective Sutton was next called and was questioned by Mr. Amidon along the line of the evidence necessary for the state. When "Attorney" Adams iregan his ques tioning Mr. Sutton smiled to which Ad ams seriously objected, evidently being of the opinion that a smile would injure the impression which he was tryingr to make on Judge Kirk. "Please don't smile, Mr. Sutton; we can't admit that as evidence." He discharged Sutton with only a few pert questions. T hen the case rested until Judge Kirk announced that the prisoner would be bound over in the sum of $SK. "Are you prepared to furnish the bond, Mr. Adams," kindly inquired Mr. Amidon. "Well, not at present," and he was tak en back to jail. afteiTbTcycles again To be a Sew Ordinance Keep ins: Them Off the Sidewalks.

District Passenger Agent Drake of the Rock Island r-as announced that after May 14 Wich-va will &2 given a P.ock Island passenger train, service both ways on Sunday morning, which is some thing Wichita and all southern and western Oklahoma has been clamoring for the last two years. A change in the gen eral time card also becomes elective at the same time. The Kans as City, Wichita and Fort Worth night express "No. 3, which at pres ent leaves Kansas City at 9 p. m., will leave Kansas City about 10 p. m. and si rive in Wichita at 7:0" a. m., instead of 5:10"a. m. as it does now. The change is made In order to cmnoct with the fast mail cf the Wabash from Buffalo jnd St. Xiouis. This arrangement will enable passengers leaving St. licuis as late ,as 2 13 'n the afternoon to arrive at Wichita the next morning and at Ft. Worth the next even ing at about 7 p. m wnich, it is claimed, will be the fastest time between St. Lcuis and Ft. Worth and Intermediate points. It will also open up a new route from St. Louis and the east to El Paso, Tex., Mexi co and southern California points by way of Kansas City, Topeka. Wichita and Ft. Worth. Through daily service will be established from Omaha to all points south of Wichita in the Indian and Oklahoma territories and. Texas by a train leaving Omaha at aEbut 6 p. m. daily and making about the same time as from Kansas City,, arriving at Ft. Worth at about 7 p. m. the next evening. This arrangement makes a new and short line between northern Iowa, northern Ne braska and Minnesota and the south. This new service is effected by putting on a fast train b:ween Belleville and McFariand wnich will connect at McFa--land with north-bound trains from fe south and put passengers in Omaha at about 9 a. m. Througn cars will bs lun over this route from Omaha to Ft. Worth, and possibly between Galveston, Houston and Omaha. Heretofore passengers from northern territory going south and south west have been com2ilei to go by way of Kansas City, re-iuirinsr an additional night or day's travel. Heeifter they can go from Omaha to Ft. Worth in about twenty-four hours, which will be nearly eight hours less uime than is necessary now to make the trio. The change will put the Sunday Eagle to all points south on the Rock Island and on the Chickasha branch ten hours ear lier than heretofore, allowing readeis to have the world'. news for late breakfast instead of supper. There is also to be a new Sunday train from Herrington to Hutchinson. A. sl'ght change will also bo made in the time cf the departure of train No. 1. he Chicago train which now leaves at 10 o'clock a. m. Hereafter it will leave twenty minutes earlier. The changes will be a great improvement in the passenger service of the road and tho line will hereafter b a strong competi tor for traffic between all points in the south and we3t to and from Omaha, Kan sas City and Chicago. On account of con nection in Kansas Cits 1th the ne.v fast mall of the Wabash system and connec tions with the Southern Pacific in Texas the Rock Island will also oecome a l.velv bidder for traffic from St. Lou's and the east to southern California pointe.

THOUGHT SHE WAS DEAD Resists Officers, But Is Cap tured After Exciting Race, Tcsterday afternoon Tom Diffcndorfor broke down the door of the room of his former wife, over 350 North Main street, and entering the apartments in a rage, dealt the frail woman a terrible Vvvr be hind the right ear, knocking her the enure length of the room. He then kicked her in the side, the result of which fcannot just yet be determined, but may turn out sriousy The UttCc daughter, almost fr.ffhtoned to death, attempted to run lor a policeman and Diffendorfer kicked her before she could get out of his reach, infliUins a very painful bruise on the caild's leg- Women who occupy the ad joining rooms ran to the injured woman's rescue and Cjfted her to a bed She was urconscious from the first blow dealt by tie llendish man. It was several minutes before consciousness returned. Then she tried to speak, but feU back in a faint, end a deathly palor rested over her fea tures until the women thought she was b ond human aid. Tom Diffenderier, after committing the Cwar(Ey assault on the woman who was once his wife, hurriedly left the room befrre the little girl could secure aid. Poiceman McMSBen, who had been noti fied of the trouble by the little girl, sent a man to the rear of the building to pre vent Diftntforfer's escape, w.hile he went LP the front stairway, but as the porce ivian approached the stairway Diffender f r made a break for the back stairway, end succeeded in "brushing by the side of the man sent to prevent his getting away, 1 nocking the gentleman down as he went Professor Ureas, who operates the large telescope on the streets of evenings, was also knocked down by the fugitive. The cvase was from that time on a very lively cne. MoMiVen ran Diffenderfer through the alley to Third street, thence to Mar ket -street, where the officer was forced to give up the chase for the want of breath. However, he came very near getting Diffenderfer at one time. Then a. gentleman happened along with a buggy and the officer jumped in and the chase was renewed up Market, thence east on Central to Lawrence avenue, thence north to Elm, thence east to Emporia, thence north to Pine. The officer was getting pretty dlose onto the heeds of the fugi tive when the latter broke through a yard and again etopped the progress of "t t officer and team. Pie was next seen cussing the Frisco "Y." By this time he exciting chase had attracted hun dreds of peopile, who followed the officer aoot, on brcyctes and in carriages. The officer and crowd then proceeded cast on Pine street until they -had outwinded D ffenderfer, and he -was overtaken near the corner of Cleveland and Pine, but he was stW unwiSMng to be taken and gave Mr. McMiHen a great deal of trouble. Ho r .-ted viciously and managed to get h i'd of the officer's finger with his teeth, bringing blood. Ho was finally overpow- red, however, after which Policoman Miore, who had heard of the chase, ime up and together they were able to hf'd the prisoner untH the patrol wagon nas sent for. On the way to the polico potion DlffendcrfoT attempted to assault Officer McMillen twice, but was prevent ed by Moore. At one time Mr. McMiHen's wTl balanced demeanor gave way to his tfinpT and he dealt Diffenderfer a well merited blow with his club which acted p an aenesthetic until the prisoner could br landed in the city jaSI.

Then he returned and broke open the door and rurshed at mo like a demon. I never knew any more until I came to and found the neighbors wonting with me on the bed. I don't know what can be done with this man. This is tho third time he has injured me in this manner.i Two years ago, when we were living on South Esi pcryi, he nearly killed me, and then I got a divorce. He said today that he '.would be willing to lay out ten years of his life In the penitentiary if he could ony get to hurt me bad enough, or kill me." The little 4-year-old boy joined in and said: "I ain't goin by the name of Diffenderfer any more, am I mamma?" Mrs. Kirtsch, who lives just across the hallway, .said it was shameful the way Mrs. Diffenderfer had been assaulted and injured. She thought tho woman had been killed. She said Mrs. Diffenderfer was a very hard working woman and it was al she could do to support herself and children. Many a night, she said, the sawing machine could be heard going at 12 o'clock and early in the morning. It Isdiffioult to state just what kind of sentence Diffenderfer wffll get for such a crime as this against a weak and de fenseless woman, but many persons stated last night that they would like to see the whipping post revived long enough to make an example of such fellows.

HE S ITS WO farmer Near Mt Hops Dis putes Eagle's Figures -ON WHEAT CONDITIONS "hinks More Than 26 Cent Is Killed, Per The EasCe Is in receipt of the following letter from ilt. Hope: Mt. Hope, Kan., April 20. To tho Editor of the Eagle: I notice that you say in today's paper that only 26 per cent of the winter wheat is killed by the cold weather. I think you will find it more. I know that wheat in the vicinity south of Mt. Hope -wont make half a crop. One field of 100 acres is al ready plowed up. Upon what do you base your estimate. Can you give more defi nite information. J. S. MARTIN. It has been stated at different times that the condition of both the wheat crop and fruit varied locaCly and that In some sections both the wheat and fruit are in good condition. The Eagle's figures yes terday were taken from the reporjt of the state board of agriculture. This report is compiled by counties and is the average of statements by exten sive wheat growers in every locality in the state, supplemented by the opinion of millers, dealers and grain men every where, espciaHy close attention being given to territory where the greater bulk of the cop is produced. The department says in Its report that it has not made earlier announcement of the wheat conditions because of a con viction that a fett days of continuous settled and reasonably warm, growing weather were essential before any intelli gent and reliable estimate of the situa tion could bo reached; in other words that an accurate judgment of wheat plant conditions is not best arrived at until late observations. The department does not publish information nor accept as final the "positvio knowledge" of the state's condition obtained by the well-meaningr observer who has "been out over the state" on a railroad tour. The area sown for the crop of 1S9S was returned by assessors as 4,505,439 acres. It was estimated by the department's cor respondents in November last that the area sown for the 1S99 crop would be 3 per cent greater; at tho present time their estimate is that the increase amounts to rather more than 5 per cent. It is an interesting fact that fifty-four of the 105 counties have 90 per cent of the wheat acreage, and constitute practically the wheat field of Kansas, -the area sown in the remaining fifty-one counties being less than the acreage sown In the two counties of Sumner and Barton. It Is likewise of interest to know that one- harf of Kansas' winter w,heat acreage is in a block of sixteen counties, compris ing the southern two-thirds of the cen tral third of tho state, or the counties oe Barton, Dickinson, Ellis, Ellsworth, Harper, Marion, McPherson, Pawnee, Reno, Rice, Rush, Russell, Saline, Sedg wick, Stafford and Sumner. In these counties the reported increase in area sown amounts to 7 per cent; 27 per cent of their total sowing will likcCy bo plowed up, and the present condition of the re mainder Is G7 per cent, on tho basis of 100 as a good, satisfactory condition. For the state tho estimate of the pro portions sown which, from the severe winter, unfavorable, long-protracted spring and other causes, now seems a failure and likely to be plowed up or de voted to other crops, is 2t per cent. The condition of the remainder, or about 3, 515 216 aces, is CS per cent. GeneraTly throughout tho state the soil is In excellent condition as to sub-surface moistre, but the chilly, drying winds of the past four or five days have by no means been helpful to and may destrov many wheat plants of low vitality, which with congenial weather woifd have sur vived. "Whe this is true, and on the whole conditions might be more favor able, they could be now. and have been in other years decidedly worse, and there is no occasion at this date for fearing that Kansas will not in the aggregate have a large output of winter wheat.

I doctored for several years, but it did no good. Myjiusband wanted me to try your medicine, and I am so thankful that I did. Since writing to you I have taken four bottles of the Compound and a box of Liver Pills, and can state that if more ladies would only give your medicine a fairtrial they would bless the day they saw your advertisement.

Journal correspondent he stated that he intended to 'break tho bank once more at Monte Carlo, and the he perfected a system whereby he could do it much more thouroughly than he ever did before, he outlined some of hfe future plans. He told how lie -broke the bank before and how he was going to play roulette again and what he would do with his money He also gave some advice to young gam blers. I have not got a penny in the world, but I hopo to have a fortune of at least a couple of nundred thousand pounds with in a year. I have perfected a new system, by which I can absolutely be sure of winning. I will tell you the way in which I broke the bank before. To begin With, I had a capital of ?C0,000. I used to bet on "runs" or "series," as they call them in French. I ibet the minimum of 5,000 francs or the maximum stakes of 120,000 francs. Witfi luck against me I bet the minimum stakes By following the system I took on one occasion all the 1,000 franc bank, notes supplied to the trente et quarante table, and the couplers had to pay one deal in small notes and glod peices, until the cash ier brought another $20,000 for the table. I Insured myself against the bank's odd chance, or "refalt," by setting aside a special fund of 1 per cent on my stakes. This cost me $5,000 a day. I sent my win nings home to London. An important part of my new system is a method of rapid calculation. A weak part of my play was always my slow cal culation. A month ago I was in jail. A month from now I shall be courted by lords and ladles. It Is true that one needs money to gam ble at Monte Carlo, and that I have none just now: but no man who has ehown my success in winning at the tables will long want for a 'backer. I am willing to divide my winings for a certain period with any man who will finance me. I should be very glad to have some rich American enter Into partnership with me, for I feel very kindly toward America. I believe that I should be better appreciated in your country than here. I ahvo little doubt, however, that I shall find a financier. My previous succe5 and even the disagreeable experience through which I have lately passed wull only serve as an advertisement. Then, you must remember that I have a sys tem which will be much more successful than any of my old ones. I can ossur you that I have worked out the details of my system so that winning at roulette become a mathematical cer tainty. For the benefit of young players who may tWnk of trying their luck at Monte Carlo I will give a few words of advice which it woulud he well for them to heed in their play: 1. Keep perfectly 000L j 2. Throw down your or 3M s the case may be as If you were throwing down a farthing. j 3. Don't think of the monetary issue, j Concentrate all your attention to how your attention to how you are to win the game. 4. Have no friends. Relatives at hand are fatal to your interests. Play from noon to midnight for a week. Then take a fortnight's rest wheth er you have lost or won. Mind ya, I am not advertising any young man to try to earn a liviac a Monte Carlo. But by following ray rales he may not h so faadts- ait a; h would other wtee be- Gamblin they call it. I can it hard 1 work. j When I have won another fortune I shall j buy a yacht finer than the one I bad b?- j fore.

Wells Is one of the most extraordinary characters in Europe. With money coined out of airy promises he went to Monte Carlo and won a great iortune. Wells phenomenal winning began in 1891 In July of that year he is said to have won $160,000, and in the following Novem berJHO.OOO more. On one night in Novem ber he broke the bank five times and won ?50,000. Casino frequenters gave him the name of "Bonne-Chance" Wells. "Good Luck' Wells that means. He bought a magnificent steam yacht of 2,000 tons, the Palai3 Royal, for $100,000. This was much less than Its original cost. He was In fll enjoyment of his lightly earned fortune when he was arrested for swindling and sent to Portland Prison. Wiell's only friend at the present moment is a young neice, upon whom he is enitrely dependent, and who was very faithful to him during his imprisonment. He appear ed deeply grateful to her. He has Improv ed greatly in appearance since h's im prisonment. Owing to the rich living In which ho indulged Immediately after breaking the bank he became very' corpu lent and unhealthy looking. He was also round shouldered and of ungainly appear ance. T he physical excercise he was made to undergo while in prison has made him perfectly upright, while the diet has re duced his obesity. Immediately after leaving prison he changed the color of his beard from gray to brown by means of dye and he now looks barely over forty yearsof age. Wells was con-Ucted of obtaining nearly $15,000 by -false pretenses, including the sum of $100,000 from a certain Miss Philli more. His method was to insert adver tisement.1? stating that a substantial yearly income would be guranteed to the person who assisted him to purchase patents for certain Inventions. He always pocketed whatever sums were sent him. Some sent small accounts, but in many instances he obtained many thousands of dollar. According to the statements he Issued he had applied for provisional protection for almost every conceivable object under the sun. Among other things he said he wished to patent wree an apparatus for utilizing the power and heat of waste steam, another for dptecting bad coin, hot air engines, air motars and a large number of steam engines. With part of the money he received he bought the yacht Palais Royal, and with the rest of it he broke the bank of Monte Carlo. He had a great time in Paris walk ing up and down the Bois do Boulogne, and entertained hosts of actresses and hangers-on. Then he returned to London and found he was far from popular with those who had contributed to his success. Henry Labouchere exposed him. One day he ordered a cabman to drive him with all possible speed to his yacht, which was then lyinfi at Plymouth. Ho proposed to go to Portugal, because he understood he could not be extradited from that country on the" charge of obtaining money under talse pretenses in England. Unfortunately for him, he made a brief stop at Havre, Prance. The Scotland yard detectives were already on his track, and one of them was waitinfi for him just as iie was about to leave Havre for Portugal. Ho was arrested, extradited and taken back to England. There ho was sentenced to eight years' penal servitude and sent to Portland Prison. This term he reduced to six years by his good conduct. He remains under police surveillance for the next two years, and for any miscon duct he is liable to be taken back to serve out his sentence. People who intrust him with money will therefore Save a certain additional guarantee that he will not mis appropriate it. Among other thing he is expected to refrain from criticism of tho prison diciplane, but he declared that he had been unjustly coirricted and harshly treated. When first put In prison he was set to work at breaking stone, the usual occu pation of the Portland convicts, bat altr a whMe e was made a bookkeeper. He spent his spare time in mathematical cal culations designed to assiet him .n break ing the bank once more. He also indulged j tn intrumentai music e w otfanc.
