I think I told him that Mr. Rice had given them to me on Saturday to give to Mr. Patrick." "Did you tell Captain McClnskey about having called on Mr. Patrick on the Sun day -when Hice died?" "I cannot remember." "Did you knovr at the time that it would be important to you to be guarded In your statements?" I-did yes." "And still you made your ansTvers, carelessly; at this time cannot even re member what those answers were?" Justice Jerome objected to this question. "What did you think when you chloro formed old man Rice, your benefactor? Did you think that was right? asked Mr. Moore. "I cannot say what I thought," replied Jones. "Do you mean to say that Patrick called at your house as often as once jl week or sometimes oftener, from Nov ember, 1899, to September 23, 1200, with out ever seeing Bice?" "I don't know how many times Patrick may have seen Mr. Rice. I said that to my knowledge Patrick never eaw Rice except upon two occasions." "When was that?" "Some time during the spring or sum mer of 1S0O." Qustioned by Justice Jerome, witness said the time when Rice, accordins to yesterday's testimony, say Patrick in the parlor, was one of these occasions. Jones, then, in answer to questions, de nied that other statement by him in his confession to Captain McCloskey were true. Lawyer Moore asked Mr. Osborne for the stenographic notes of the statement Jonee made to McCluskey. Mr. Osborne replied that he did cot have the steno graphic notes, but had a typewritten copy of the witness' statement to Captain Mc Cluskey which he said he was willing to let Mr. Moore have, Mr. Moore then passed to the original complaint in which Jones swore that Pat rick administered "mercurial and other poisons to Rice, thus causing his death. "Did you not know when you swore to the complaint," asked Mr. Moore, "what those poisons were?" The question was objected to, but was allowed. "I did not, unless it was oxalic acid," witness replied. 'Did you not know that you had chloroformed old man Rice?" asked Mr. Moore. Mr. Osborne objected. "When did you make your confession?" "At the house of detention, last Janu ary. Mr. Osborne and Mr. Battell were present." "What promise was xaaude you to get you to make this confession?" "A good many promises have been made to me, but none of a definite nature." "Do you mean to tell me that you will ingly made this confession, knowing that it will bring yon to the electric chair?" "I did not exactly think it would bring me to the chair, witness faltered. "Do you know that murder the crime to which you have confessed if It could be established, is punishable by electro cution in the state of New York?" "I do. yes."

The Chinese govern ment has formally notified Russia that China, owing to the attitude of the pow ers, is not able to sign the Manchurian convention. "It is China's desire," says the forma notification, "to keep on friendly terms with all nations. At present she is going through a period which is the most peril ous in the empires history, and it Is necessary that she should have the friendship of all. "However much she might be willing to grant any special privilege to one pow er, when others object it is impossible that, for the sake of making one nation friendly, she should alienate the sympa-tri-s of all others." Li Hung Chang says this letter settles th matter definitely and that Russia was informaiy notiried to the same effect Mireh -JS. Prince Ching asserts that every China man except Li Hung Chang was against signing the convention. ABILINE COURSING CLUB wis f13 first man ycu saw at th i.jiirt'rs -whn you were first sked Mr. Moore.

Chief Justice Arellano, who administered to BmQlo Agulnaldo the oath of allegiance to the United States government described today to a representative of the Associated Press the conditions leading up to and attend in gthe ceremony, which was semi-private. Agulnaldo, still detained in an apart ment of the Malacanan Palace and await ing orders from aWshington, has ex pressed himself as anxious to learn more regarding the American system of gov ernment and has asked Chief Justice Arellano to enlighten him. The chief justice carefully explained the various measures passed by the Philippine com mission .headed by Judge Taft, and show ed him what provisions were made for education and progress and for munici pal and provincial self government. Listening with deep interest, Agulnaldo finally exclaimed: "1 nevr believed the Americans would be so fair and libera!.'' Before the conversation had ended he had agreed to take the oath of allegiance and this was immediately administered. Senor Trellano says; "Agumaldo's ac tion wil Knduce all the insurgents to sur render, and I predict that the Islands will be completely pacified by June. "Agulnaldo is eager to visit the United States, but when I questioned him on the subject of holding office he replied that he had no desire in that direction and intended to retire to private life after a trip to America, tl is reported here this evening that President McKiniey has invited Agulnaldo to visit the United States and that the former insurgent leader may sail from Manila April 15. General aMcArthur, when questioned re garding the rumor, said he had absolute ly nothing to communicate." Washington, -April 3. After a consulta tion with the president. Secretary Root tonight sent a cable message to General MacArthur giving him instructions re garding Agulnaldo and the vi.-ws o? the administration on some recommendations as to Philippine affairs mad by Gnral MacArthur. The contents cf th cable gram will not be made public for th-: present. It was stated at the war de partment today that General MacArthur had made no communication reiatne to Agulnaldo today and that the attitude of this government toward the insurgent chief has not changed. He is yet held as a prisoner and while he will be treated with kindness there is no disposition to allow him liberty unless it ts demonstrat- j ed that he intends to comply fully with the amnesty terms and his oath of alle- glance. Agulnaldo is more than an ordi nary prisoner and it has not yt Kn determined whether or not he is respon sible for violations cf the laws of war. His capture was made with a view of securing results, and whi General Mao Arthur's dispatches indicate that thse results will be very satisfactory, th y have not yet followed. The cab; n-?- sage sent to Manila was of c-ns'd-rab length and was quite specific as t- th policy of the government.

The commercial commission continued last year as an important factor in bring ing about this feeling between the peo ples themselves. A great improvement in our mutual trade has resulted from that convention. Silk firms in Lyons and other manufacturers in the southeastern dis tricts of France have established branches and now maintain dose busi ness relations with iMJan and other towns in northern Italy. Commercial houses in these latter cities have made similar ex tensions to- Lyons and other French trade centers. As a result there has been a revival of appreciation in Italy of the importance of the French market. The invasion of North Italy by the eGrcrans who, in cer tain branches of industry, especially those requiring highly scfestfic methods, have been crowding the Italians oat of their own markets, nas engendered jeal ousy and been instrumental in directing the attention of the Italian business com munity toward France. The triple alliance is closely bound c? with the commercial conventions of the three partners, conventions which at present are favorable to Italian trade In German and Austria-Hungary, but Italy will apparently find considerable difficulty in getting those countries to renew such articles in the commercial commissions as favor the import of Italian products. Therefore, with a view o -widening her commercial and improving her political relations with France, Italy may decline to renew certain clauses of the contract bearing upon her military and other con tributions. Any such relief to Italy's ob ligations must necessarfiy be of advan tage to the military position of France in Europe." "Thus," concluded the diplomat, "while the meeting of M. Loubet aau the Duke of Genoa, together with the France-Italian naval demonstration, must not be taken as a prelude to the withdrawal of Italy from the triple allianee, yet it may herald a noteworthy modification of the i international situation. We do not wish for a written convention with Italy. We b-lieve the re-establishment of thorough j ly sympathetic relations between the two peoples will prove of greater worjh than any existing treaties." BULLETIN Or Qiljt Slidjita MltT (Sack Wichita.

Pittsburg was today the center of a snow storm that began early in the morning and continued with great force until after noon, doing thousands of dollars worth of damage, rendered practically useless for a time every electric light wire in the city, sus pended ail street car travel and in the early hours isolated the city from the j outside world. A heavy rain fell before j the storm came, and all reports from up j river points tell of rising streams, which the governing conditions unusual and the jam of struggling, howling brokers and traders cutting antics and uiling the pub lie galleries to the limit. May wheat sold down to 71 1-2 to 71 1-8 ana closed at 72 3-S to 72 l-2c. a net loss of the day of two cents. May corn tumbled to 40 3-4c, the I net loss for the day being 1 7-Sc. The slump was hastened by the closing out of trade of a St. Louis oper&or.

At tne cs he declared that he i.ad not been shaken out of his com and oats, and believe- -aey would do better tomorrow. The wheat deal was of a different story Phillips adisrtl his customers to sell and unload --.d nearly l.t-oo.OOO bushels early.

ONLY POLITICIANS OBJECT The losses cannot be fixed tonight, but conservative estimates place the amount at between $260,000 and 53&U.WO. Telegraph and telephone companies are the heaviest losers, by reason of the fact that their lines reach every part of the storm dis trict. Early In the morning a heavy, wet snow began falling. It clung to every thing ft touched and by 9 o clock ail the wires in the city were coated with snow. The trunk lines of the central district were the first to fall and most all of the other troubles that followed are at tributed to the failure of this service.

Governor C. M. Barnes returned last night from Wash ington where he has been in the interests of his reappointment to the position which he now holds. A number of the Intimate friends and members of the governor's family, met him at the station to welcome him to his home in this city. Governor Barnes was in his office this morning taking up the work which had been dropped lor some little time. His dp?k was covered with correspondence and papers and Governor Barnes secured time for work before the people around the office knew that he was down town. Callers besi'g(-d the governor to ascer t.ih. h-,w tin; conditions were for his re bppointmert. Some of the people were Biitrhtly das-ippointed that he did not say rrii'h to them, but to more of his inti mate friends he explained the whole sit uation as be knew it. V hn asked by the correspondent for th Eagle recording the gubernatorial Mtvatii-n; Governor Jiarns said: "I bive rothin? to pay at this Lime regard in? my re-ir.pointment." This answer in ft the inn'iines of the newspaper men nid those who had expected an interview wt re disappointed. it has T n learned from a reliable ?"i!rc' th.'it Governor Barnes is well pleased with the condition ot affairs as In y row f tind.

Since the dis patches from Washington having been given Secretary Jenkins the best of the deal in the governorship contest much speculation has bbeen indulged in regard ing the appointment of a secretary to succeed JenKins if he should be made gov ernor. The friends of Mr. Grimes say that he is the man for the place. In fact, that announcement was made at the time the members of the territorial organiza tion met in this city to discuss the guber natorial situation and such a strong pull was made to endorse Jenkins for the posi tion. Since that time nothing much has been said about the matter and now since Jenkins appears as a formidable foe to Governor Barnes, the secretary question is up again. Tom Ferguson's friends state that the man from Watonga is a strong man and would make a good secretary. Also that he has done much hard work for the party. Jim Houston, the present assistant secretary, comes in for a share of the speculation regarding the appoint ment and his experience in the office is considered in his favor if the contest should materialize in the appointment of Jenkins as governor. Mr. xrimes seems to be the man who will get the endorsement of the territorial organization. How he stands at Wash ington is not known, but if the right kind of pressure can be brought to bear, he will be a strong candidate. O 1? O 3K. 3T J&.

Regard ing the matter he says: "i do not think there is any doubt but what Governor Barnes will be re-nomlnated governor of Oklahoma. He mace a good governor and is a goou man. His friends in the east are behind him in the matter and I see no reason why he should be appointed.

Guthrie, O. T., April 3. Almost every train coming into Oklahoma is crowded with people anxious to see the country and to secure homes here if possible. The people of this territory have little idea of the large people making excursions from the east to the territory which is rapidly forging ahead. Real estate men and emigration agents state that the in flux is remarkable and that it means that Oklahoma will be increased in population at a remarkable rate of speed. Hereto fore it has been Iowa, Kansas and Ne braska people coming into Oklahoma in larger numbers tnan from any other place, hot now excursions are being run from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. Iowa and from the states just mentioned. This is enough to denote that people are looking toward Oklahoma as the pince for future residence and the betterment oi the finan cial and physical condition. People who come from the states north at this time ofthe year, as they are doins? now, are surprised at the climate which Oklahoma possesses. Storm oats are laid away and the balmy sunshine makes it seem as though spring wa a matter of a short time and summer would be on in full blast. 'I he green wneat fields maKe it appear as though uie ground had been covered with green paint so luxuriant is the growth and with the conditions it is no wonder that the eastern and northern people are flocking to Oklanoma. W. M. Spiirlock of this city, a real es tate man and Santa Fe emigration agent. was asked some question5; s attemoon by the Eagle correspondent regarding om gration. He said: "It is very remarxable the number of people who are cominsr to Oklahoma. The trnins are crowded with sight seers and prospective home buyers. There has nfver been a time before this that they nave been coming tins way and it means that our population is increasing rapidly. The men who held farms in Ok lahoma for speculation is pelhne; out and each farm is being occuped bv men with families. The time that men bought farms for investment in such large numbers is past and now it is the period for the far mer from the north arc. east. "What effect will the opening of the new lands have on Oklahoma'.'" "It will mean that there will be plenty of disappointed people in the new ;tnd contest and that thvy will secure homes in Oklahoma, buying farms as soon as the new country is settled up. This will be a benefit to Oklahoma in this respect for the people who really want homes and are disappointed in the Kiowa-Comanche country will buy uomes in the old p;u-t of the territory. It will not be the investors and the men who are looking for an easy dollar, but the people who really want homes and are from the tast." "Is there much property b.'ing sold?" "Yes sir ;there are changes in the own ership of property every ''i' in all parts of the country. Different men located in this city have been the agents in farm transactions and there are many new families coming to this country from the east." People who have not looked Into this thing have no idea of the magnitude of the emigration to Oklahoma territory. It is simply marvelous. Train loads of peo ple are coming and it will keep up, too." to rniE a cold rv oxe day TakeLaxatlveBromo-Qtilnine Tablets. 25c WOMEN FIGHT DUEL In Which Ono fiets Ttvo Bullet Woiintli. Newkirk, O.

There has been much interest displayea in the rumored meeting of the uigfcoal opera tors of Missouri, Kansas and the Indian Territory, which was to combine the com panies into one institution for the pur pose of controlling the situation. Just how far the matter will go or what will become of it ib problematical. The Daily Capital' has the following to say regard ing the matter: "There was a sccre meeting of the big coal operators of Arkansas, Missouri, human stomach has been performed, and Kansas and the nldian uTcrritory held in the operator in- the ease.

Where mire the beauties of South McAlester and "trectomy is successfully resorted to. have a friendly smoke while swapping the patien ma 1!ve for months, perhaps yarns. But tne cat has escaped from tne bag and it is known now that the meet ing was held to consider a proposition to consolidate all tne coal mining inter- ests of the southwest into one gigantic corporation with $300,000,000 capital and so control the situation entirely. The man who proposes to carry out the plan is Mr. A. B. Donnelson, he general manager of the McAle3ter Coal anl Mining company at Buck. Hhe has been at work on the plan for some months, and last Tuesday's meeting was the result of his efforts to get the operators together to consider his project. The fact that it was attended by representatives of all the big mining companies of the southwest would go to prove that the plan is being seriously contemplated and other developments may be looked for before long." CLEO IS HAPPY Choctaxv Has ilado All Arrangements to Build. Cleo, April 3. J. W. Mci-ioud, general solicitor, F. A. ollitor, chief engineer and Beeks Errick, right of way and town site manager for the Choctaw, were here Saturday ana deposited an amended for feit bond guaranteeing the completion and operation of the road to Cleo by Aug ust 1, instead of September 1, as first pro posed. The bond is for $25,000. The town has subscribed the $5,000 ap portioned -c and secured all but three of the 11 miles of right of way agreed. In ad dition to the lands and lots given the road upon the estimate of one of the officials, will aggregate 33,000. As a result of the transactions of Satur day everything has taken an added for ward movement. Twenty-five buildings are under construction and it is impos sible for the lumber yards to get in mate rial as rapidly as it is needed. j Mr. Errick received a telephone message from the constructing engineer Saturday saying .ne locomotive whistle would blow j in Watunga next Tuesday. Between Wa- j tonga and Cleo there are a number of graders' camps with one outfit at work at the river a mile and a half south of i Cleo. j Mr. Errick says that In addition to the j 640 miles of line in operation it is pro posed to bulid 400 miles in the southwest by January 1, 1902. The line through i Cleo will be built to Alva and the state line south near Anthony or Kiowa, Wich ita is always considered in a railroad deal and tne road my seek further territory via that city. An extension from Alva or a point near it to Woodward is reserved In the char ter and work will commence Immediately, if it has not already done so, upon an extension from Geary to Amarillo, Texas.

The appointments for the office have not been announced. Proiessor Baxter has bbeen a member of the faculty of the Edmond -ormal school, and was superin- tendent of tne Guthrie schools previous to his taking the work at Edmond. Professor R. N.

ANOTHER STOMACH REMOVED Operations of This Kind Becoming Common in Xeiv York. New York, April 8. For the second time within a week a successful operation In gasterctomy the removal of the lf tne sreat suffering of patients is to be latea. I The operation is a most dangerous one i not more than flvc or s successful ex- years, The latest operation was performed last night on D. G. Bodeman. The entire stomach was removed and the reaction has been so favorable as to warrant a claim of success. Mr. Bodman has been under the care of j Dr. Frank G. Carpenter, who, having de- i cided the nature of the trouble, called in j Dr. Fralick, Dr. George C Conett and Dr. j Ralph Simcoe Fralick. In telHng of the operation Dr. Fralick said: I "The patient was prepared in the usual I manner for laparotomy, all precautions being taken to prevent infection. A ver- tical incision of about three inches was made through the skin in the region of the stomach an inch to the left of the median line. The tumor was readily brought to view. Adhesions resulting from previous Inflammatory conditions were separated, and the bloody supply in the region of the tumor was stopped. The growth was then drawn through the wound. Then, for the first time, it was seen that the entire stomach, with the excep tion of a small portion of the cardiac side, was involved in the growth and we decided that the entire stomach must be removed, xne operation was performed immediately, consuming leas than an hour in time. "The cut ends of the oesophagus and pylorus were then sewed together and returned to the cavity. The usual outside dressings were then applied and the pa tient waa returned to ms room in a fairly good condition." GREAT INTEREST FELT Washington Cabinet Circles Discuss Chinese Sltnntian. Washington, April 3. Grea. interest was manifested in official and diplomatic cir cles tonight over the Associated Presa re port Trom Pekin that the Chinese Anally had determined not to sign the Manchur ian agreement. No official Information had reached this government or the prin cipal foreign embassies. To the Russian ambassador, the news came as a great surprise ,as he had hoped for a successful conclusion of the convention. Russia, he said, had informed the Chinese govern ment that she did not mean to take Man churia, and that her desire was to make such arrangements as would avoid the repetition in the future of the Boxer troubles of last summer. The ambassa dor declined in the absence of official ad vices to indicate what would probably be the future course of his government. Russia in a measure controls the situa tion in Manchuria, as she has possession of the country and the great mass of her soldiers now in Asia are wfthin that territory- China having refused the term specified by Russia, the Russians assert. she may take her own good time and re tire from the country whenever she Is in clined to do so. She has proclaimed to the worl dthat her intentions regarding Manchuria are entirely honorable; that Such be'ng the case, it was suggested by a diplomat tonight that the powers must have confidence in the honesty of the Russians. The saggegtlons also is made that perhaps the Russians may at- tempt to obtain a further modification of th" proposed agreement with China or may seek to obtain from the powers of- fored to it in Its present form the points of objection held by them with a view to thp preparation of a future document that will overcome many of tnese objections ard assure without any equivocation whatsoever the absolute Integrity of the Chinese empire and render ft fwe trm any entanglements that may menace It os the reir.ltB of Buch agreement!. The T'nited State was firm in the opinion that It wa.s Inexpedient fnr th Chinese gov ernment to entT into a treaty with any of the powers Interested in th present sta tus of tne Chlnse situation pending, the general settlement of the matters at issue and thi? position, backed bv the view of othr governments, it is ielt here, ha ben an Important factor with the empr Ul government in d' termlning Its atti tude under the Russian government.
