NEW YORK March 1?. The- cross-examination of Morris M?ycr was continued to-day,- when the trh.l of A. T. Patrick for the murder of William M. Ilice was resumed before Recorder GJoff. Jlt-ytr testified that he witnessed the disputed V.) will, tinder which Patrick would inherit nearly all the KP-e estate. Meyer was accused of forgery in signing his name to this will, and la at liberty under $10.0) bail. In reply to questions by A?.i5tant District Attorney Osborne Meyer said he had always regarded Rice as sane; he never saw him do anything irrational. The witness did not knew why Rice should assign all his property to Patrick. There were many serious quarrels to-day between Assistant District Attorney Osborne and Frd 15. House, senior counsel lor Patrick. At one point the prosecuting attorney said he thought the witness had llr.ished answering a question, and that he had not intended to interrupt. Mr. House fr-aid: "You did not think anything of the ort." Mr. Osborne appealed to the recorder. "Are we in a barroom or a court of Justice?" he asked. "May the district attorney of this county be addressed in that brutal lashlon in jour honor's court by a man claiming to be a reputable member of the bur?" Counsel for the defense excepted to Mr Osborne's language and the exception was placed on record. Later Mr. Moore, of Patrick's counsel, objected and excepted several time to a ruling made by th court. The recorder said to him that if he did not cease he would be removed from the court for disorder. At the afternoon session David L. Hhort, whose name appears with that of Meyer, a a subscribing witness in the will of iiM, was on the stand. Short 1 Jointly indicted with Meyer on a charge of forgery In signing his name as a witness to the will. He testified that he saw Rice sign the It) will, the general assignment to Patrick, the Klfth-avcnue Trut Company and the safe c'rpOfit vault assignments. His testimony vra similar to that of Meyer and corroborated the latter in all the details of the tdgning of the papers. On cross-examination Short said he never raw Rite, do anything that would cause doubt of his sanity. The witness said the bail under which he was liberated after the charge of perjury was made against 1dm was furnished by John T. Mililken, Patrick's brother-in-law. The cross-questioning of Short was still In progress when court adjourned for the day. Xev College Prnhlent. SPARTANIIUIU;, S. C. March lS.-Rev. Robert P.

It Provide for tin Harriot; Oat of Anarchist 11 ltd Their Ilk 11 nd Hninex the Ilend Thy to $l.AO. WASHINGTON, March lS.-The jreneral immigration bill prepared by Chairman Shattuc, of t lie committee on immigration and naturalization, and accepted by that committee was. by him reported to the House to-day with tho recommendation that it be parsed. Mr. Shattuc gives the following summary of the bill in the report: "The general purpose of this bill is to bring together in one act scattered legislation on this subject heretofore enacted from 1S73 to 1894 in regard to the immigration of aliens Into the United States. Tho head tax on Immigrant la Increased from $1, as at present, to $1.50. This is to meet the expenses 0! the immigration business. The bill provides also for not only rejecting undesirable aliens at our ports, but by following up those who have unlawfully effectnl au entrance a. id who have become criminal or pauper burdens upon state and municipal institutions, and within five years after their arrival returning them to tho country whence they came. This period was formerly one year. The immigrants waited a year and then entered an institution, remaining forever afterward a burden upon the country. Those coming in across the boundaries who are manifested to this country must also pay this head tax. "The bill excludes from admission to the United States Anarchists or persons who believe In or advooato the overthrow byforce or violence of all governments or forms of law or the assassination of public officials. Another new class of persons excluded is epileptics and persons who have been insane within five years previous to coming; hero and persons who have had two or more attacks of Insanity at any time previous. "The section relating to contract labor Is made more stringent and now Includes persons who hive been Induced to come to the United States by 'offers, solicitations, promises or agreements,' and the section includes the words 'those who import or attempt to Import, which It is claimed will catch the contractor even If the laborers are not landed. "The bill also provides that Inspection shail be made from time to time of all reformatories, insane hospitals, charitable institutions, etc., and that all aliens who are there found who have become publiccharges under the law are to be deported. This provision is made to help clean out the Institutions of the country, particularly in the Eastern Siates, of the thousands of charges of this class. "The standard of nuallflcatJons of examining physicians Is raised so that op.lv doctors of four years' professional experience shall be appointed. The bill also provides for an examination of alien immigrants coming as cabin passengers, and requires th steamship companies to place a great deal more valuable information In the manifests than at present, the same resulting In a permanent means of afterward identifying? the immigrant." Mr. Shattuc says the bill will be taken up in the House In the immediate future. Didn't Like the I nlted States.

IHM. 1'Olt PROTRCTION OF RRHSIIJII.NT ISC:i'SSi:i) !IY shnators. Constitutional Argninent by 31 r. Hoar and rt Strong: Denunciation of Anarchists by Mr. Muson. IJR. BACON'S IRE AROUSED RECORD TU'RD E.NED WITH ANTI-IMPERIALIST LITERATURE. River and Ilnrhor Appropriation Rill DisctiNftcd with Spirit in the IIOIIKC. WASHINGTON, March lS.-For three hours to-day the Senate had under consideration the bill providing fÄr the protection of the President of tho United States and for the punishment by United States courts of those who commit assaults on him. Mr. Racon opposed the I III and Mr. Hoar and Mr. Mason supported it. . Mr. Bacon's argument followed the lines of his speech delivered ten days ago.. Mr. Hoar's speech was largely legal and constitutional. lie maintained the right of the government to protect itself against assaults upon its sovereignty through the President. Mr. Mason made an attack on Anarchy and its methods, and incidentally sharply criticised an amendment to the bill offered by Mr. Bacon. Ho denounced it as opening the door to special pleading for the benefit of assassins of the President. This drew Mr. Bacon's lire. He considered Mr. Mason's criticism a personal reflection on himself and resented it with heat. An explanation by the Illinois senator cleared the atmosphere. Earlier in the day a lively debate was participated by the effort of Mr. Rawlins, of Utah, to have printed as a document some Philippine correspondence. Mr. Rawlins began to read the correspondence, which was very voluminous. It proved to be a collection of private letters exchanged between unnamed rersons in this country and prominent Filipinos, in which were discussed the political relations of the United States and the Philippine islands. Mr. Itawlin3 declined to yield to any senator for any purpose. He finally sent the letters to the clefk's desk, from which the reading was concluded. As letter after letter waß read and the name of the writer was not disclosed Mr. Piatt, of Connecticut, rose and inquired: "Is this entirely a no-name series?" "I object to the interruption," interjected Mr. Hoar. As Mr. Piatt pressed for an answer to Iiis inquiry Mr. Rawlins said: "n a plot like this it is always best to keep the audience In a state of expectation. The correspondence will disclose tho names of the writers of the letters." A few minutes later Mr. Wellington said he understood that tho objection to the printing of the correspondence had been withdrawn. Without further reading. therefore, the correspondence wan ordered printed In tho Record and as a document. A resolution offered ysterday by Mr. Morgan, calling upon the secretary of the interior and the secretary of war concerning the Pacific and Philippine railroads, was amended by Mr. Hale to read as follows: "That the secretary of the interior Is directed to send to the fc. nute a statement of traffic relations between the railroads that connect with the waters of the Pacific ocean and the government of the United States with reference to the statutes upon which such relations have been conducted. And that the secretary of war is directed to send to the Senate a statement of traffic relations between tho railroads In the Philippine islands and as to the charters and ownership of such railroads." The resolution was passed. Thirty-nine private pension .bills were passed and the calendar cleared. The unfinished business the bill for the protection of the Iresident of the United States was then laid before the Senate. Mr. Mason, in his speech, said tho pending bill was "but the formation and shape of public opinion which thrice had been aroused by the murder of tho President." To his mind it was a well-considered and thoroughly matured measure. Mr. Mason declared the pending bill was in accordance with the wishes of the people, and they were right In demanding such legislation. "The cowards and sneaks," he insisted, "who take the advice they receive in dark halls and kill the President of the United States ought to pay the penalty as provided in this bill." He said the present was a bad time to fix special pleading for anarchistic criminals. Their crimes were against 70.nk),(Xio people, and when thev struck down the President 70,000.(n) of people wept. It was worse than murder. Mr. Mason concluded with an eloquent denunciation of anarchy, which elicited hearty applause from the galleries. In the course of a legal and constitutional argument in support of the bill Mr. Hoar replied to some of the points made by Mr. Racon. He suggested that Mr. Bacon's amendment and his objections to the bill were founded not on a special rule of law, but a special rule of escape for the criminal specified by the measure. Mr. Bacon took sharp exception to the criticism of Mr. Hoar, .asserting that the Massachusetts senator's statements were "unjustltiable and misrepresented" his argument. Mr. Hoar said he was willing to submit to the Senate whether he or the senator from Georgia was right. In conclusion Mr. Hoar maintained that the bill would afford real protection to the President and said it would safeguard the interests of the government to have such crimes against the President punishable by the government of the United States. Mr. Bacon replied with some evidence of heat to criticism of his amendment made by Mr. Mason criticism which he said he felt reflected on him personally. He demanded to know whether there was a senator on the Republican side who believed ho could be guilty of defending Anarchists or their schemes or a senator who believed that he had presented anything that would afford a method of escape of Anarchists from just punishment when guilty of an assault on the President. Mr. Mason replied that he certalnlv believed what he had said and was willing to state it again. The senator from GeorFia knew, however, that he was incapable of reflecting on his (Bacon's) honor or intejrity of purpose. "What I said." replied Mr. Mason, "was that the amendment offered by the senator from Georgia was a' basis of special pleading for men who shall be caught in the act of taking the ! life ot the President. It opens wide the door for special pleading. A hat I said did not reflect directly or remotely on the honor of the senator. I was characterizing the amendment, not the senator." Mr. Mason declared that such a measure as that pending ought to have been passed the day after the assassination of President Lincoln, and that no such amendment as that presented ought to be adopted. Without concluding the debate the Senate, et 4: p. m., went Into executive session and at 4:45 p. m. adjourned. RIVER AM) HARBOR RILL. Mr. llrphurn'ft Amitiul Speech Agniimt the 31 en no re -Vote To-Day. WASHINGTON, March lS.-The general debate on the river and harbor appropriation bill in the House was enlivened to-day by Mr. Hepburn, of Iowa, who made his annual onslaught on the measure. Contrary to his usual custom. Mr. Hepburn found several things in the bill to commend although some of his criticisms were quite severe. The other speakers to-day were Messrs. Rail, of Texas, and Lawrcr.co, of Massachusetts, both members of the committee, and Messrs. White, of Kentucky, and Thompson and Burnett, of Alabama, who spuke In faovr of Improvements of Interest to their districts. It was agreed that general debate on the bill should close to-morrow at 3 o'clock. Winn Mr. Hepburn arose to speak he said: "1 rise to make my annual contri

bution to the river and harbor literature with a miscellaneous assortment of motions. I recognize the titter futility of say- i

mg anytning against ini 0111. 1 recognize that fact years ago when the pork in the barrel was only J'0,f"'. How manifestly impossible is it to make headway against it now that tho appropriations aggregate !)). '4 .. At the same time I find in connection with the presentation of the pending bill some things to commend a rare thing in my experience. We have at the head of the river and harbor committee an ideal chairman for the purposes in view one who, I believe, Is striving to secure public rather than private benefits, one looking for the welfare of this great Nation and the promotion of its commerce, r.ot the elevation of A. B or C to seats upon this lloor." Applause. Mr. Hepburn commended the committee for taking the "back track" upon wasteful expenditures in certain directions, pointing out the abandonment of further improvements of the Missouri river as a final fulfillment of predictions made eighteen years ago. He said that Congress should set a definite limit upon the depth of water sought to be obtained in seaport harbors, thirty feet, tor instance, and place a limit upon naval architecture. Otherwise, he declared, there would be no end to the depth of water which would be demanded. Speaking of the Hennepin canal, Mr. Hepburn admitted that he had voted for it. "But considering the mental penance 1 have undergone since," said he, "and my infancy and ignorance when I cast the vote, it will not go as hard with me as with a hardheaded old sinner like my friend from Illinois (.Mr. Reeve?) if he should attempt to indulge in another such freak of legislation." I.aughter.J "The canal was projected to get the produce of the farmers of Iowa to the great lakes," suggested Mr. Reeves. "Quite true," retorted Mr. Hepburn, "but the farmers of that day are all dead, while the incompleted canal continues to draw its annual appropriations from the treasury'." Renewed laughter. While acquitting the chairman of the committee of looking to anything but the public welfare, Mr. Hepburn said there were gentlemen upon the committee who did not hesitate to "log roll" to secure appropriations for their own schemes. Without desiring to reflect upon the courage of the speaker he expressed the hope that the time would come when there would be a speaker with "wonderful courage" who would see to it tuat the committee was composed of men who had no special interests to be conserved. When the House met to-day h rank Lyon, of Cuba, N. Y., was elected doorkeeper to succeed the late W. J. Glenn.- The oath was immediately administered to Mr. Lyon by the speaker. MORE FIGHTING EXPECTED LIBERAL VICTORY REPORTED IN THE COUNTRY A EAR PANAMA. Colomhinn Government to Enforce a Special Tax Decree Venezuelan Heitel Socccssfal. WASHINGTON, Marth lS.-Secrctary L.ong has received the following cablegram from Commander Rodgers, of the gunboat Marietta, dated Colon, to-day: "Liberal army has gained a victory. Rebels havo possession of the country west; of Panama. Fighting expected on tho isthmus." Captain Perry, of the Iowa, has so well established the best line of conduct to be pursued by United States naval vessels during disturbances on the Isthmus of Panama that it has not been found necessary by the Navy Department to send special instructions to Captain Rodgers, of the Marietta. Within two clays the cruiser Philadelphia will arrive at Panama from Guayaquil, and, with the Matietta on the gulf side of the isthmus, the situation from a naval point of view will be just as it was when Captain Perry landed his marines to protect the Isthmian transit. There will be no attempt by the navy to interfeie as between factions unless the military movements of the government and liberal troops tend to cripple the railway across the isthmus, in which case marines and sailors will be promptly landed on both sides of the isthmus and transit kept open. SPECIAL TAX DECREE. Colombian Ciovcriiment to Uiiforcc It Agnhifct the Liberal. PANAMA, Colombia, March IS. By a government decree, published here yesterday, war taxes of $70.000 and JC0.O are imposed on the Iabei-.rl residents of Panama and Colon, respectively. These taxes are the corresponding shades of the tax of $750,000 imposed on the department of Panama by the national government. A committee composed of the prefect, tho treasurer and secretary of the finance bureau and two private citizens has been charged to make this decree effective. The committee is backed in it3 efforts by police and a force of soldiers. The government is obliged to tako violent meabures to collect these taxes because the Liberals have adopted similar tactics in those parts of the country they control. A report was received last night that the revolutionary gunboat Padllla had landed wounded government soldiers at Taboga island, ten miles from Panama. The government gunboat Chucuito has just returned here from Taboga island, and reports that no government soldiers have yet been landed there. Victory Iy Vcnciuflnn Insurgent. PORT OP SPAIN, Trinidad, March 18. A force of Venezuelan insurgents, supported by the revolutionary steamer Bolivar, captured the town of Juan Griego, on the Island of Margarita, yesterday morning, and afterwards moved on the town of Asuncion, capital of the island. The Venezuelan government troops were defeated, and there was every indication that the insurgents would soon bo masters of the whole island. TO CONSULT WITH PALMA. Arrival at Xev Yorli of Menilfi Capote and Dr. Diego Tnnuijo. NEW YORK. March 13. Among the passengers who arrived to-day on the steamer Mexico from Havana were Mendez Capote and Dr. Diego Tamayo. Cuban senators, who have come to consult with the president-elect, T. Estrada Palma. "We come here as delegates from the new Cuban government to confer with Scnor Palma," said Senor Capote. "We will talk over the situation and advise with Senor Palma as to the policy to be adopted under his administration. The present hope is that Senor Palma will reach Havana in time for the inauguration to take place about May 1. Just now everything is in a more or less unsettled condition, but we believe that as soon as the new government is fairly inaugurated the people will settle down and matters will go along smoothly."

RULES OF WAR VIOLATED ROERS FOLXD IX BRITISH UNIFORMS MAY RE EXECUTED. Lord Wolscley's Trip to South Africa nu Affair of His Ovrn-Lnnger Captured !- Hamilton. LONDON, March IS. The debate this evening in the House of Commons on the motion of the Liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Eannerman, yesterday for the appointment of a select committee to investigate the whole commercial history of the South African war, including the contracts for the purchase of remounts, meat and forage, and the coni.ra.cts for freight and transportation, called out several acrimonious exchanges of remarks. Reginald McKenna, Liberal, commenting: on the remount department declared that widespread corruption in the horse purchases had been disclosed in almost every country on the globe. Ixrd Stanley, financial secretary to the War Office, interrupted Mr. McKenna with an angry denial of a specific charge regarding the purchase of horses In Spain. lie said the statement was maliciously false, and he demanded proofs of the assertion m ide. Mr. McKenna said he took his facts from the report of the controller and auditor general. The imputation of malice was wholly false, but it was only pari of the bogus defense in which the government was then engaged. He quoted figures and claimed that they bore out his accusation. Mr. Lam.bton, Liberal Unionist, drew Sir Henry Campbell-Rannerman's lire by declaring that the leader of the opposition by his reckless language had taken from many people the consolation of feeling that their relatives who had died in South Africa had fallen honorably in the service of their country. To this Sir Henry replied angrily: "I give the most complete and most circumstantial denial to every word the honorable gentleman has said." This statement caused confusion in the House and cries of "withdraw," but Sir Henry refused to withdraw his remarks, and Mr. Lambton said his language to Sii Henry referred to "methods of barbarism and similar tall: about the concentration camps and other matters." The speaker, Sir William Court Gully, Interrupting, exclaimed: "Both gentlemen are out of order." Mr. Lambton thereupon apologized, but said that utterances such as he had quoted were graveiy injuring the soldiers In South Africa and the House ought to demand an authoritative declaration of the opposition's attitude on this question. Mr. Norton, Advanced Eiberal. joined in tbe attack on the government. He declared that the losses on transport of each column in South Africa amounted to from ,7l).0oo to 100.000. When challenged regarding hts authority for the statement Mr. Norton said Mr. Brodrick, tho war secretary, had ordered a departmental committee to investigate the matter and had then pigeonholed the evidence. II. 11. Asquith, advanced Eiberal, strongly supported Sir Henry Campboll-Banner-man's motion, which he contended was only a vote of censure, because the government had chosen to make it so. A. J. Balfour, winding up the debate, argued that the acceptance of the motion would hamper military operations and give advantage to the enemy, besides creating a bad precedent. Sir Henry's motion was defeated by a vote of .145 to 101, the big majority eliciting loud ministerial cheers. DOERS MAY HE SHOT. In Wearlnc Ilrltllt Uniforms They Violated the Rule of War. LCJNDON, March IS. In the House of Commons to-day the war secretary, Mr. Brodrick, set at rest the rumors regarding Lord AVolseley's trip to South Africa by announcing that the former commander-in-chief had gone to Cape Town on an entirely private visit without previously communicating with the War' Office. Regarding tho Boers wearing British uniforms Mr. Brodrick said all civilized nations punished such action with death. Boers captured wearing British uniforms were liable to be shot after trial by court-martial. Lord Kitchener in certain cases had already inHicted that penalty. Mrs. Eloff, wite of Mr. Kruger's private secretary, sailed for South Africa on Saturday. Her husband expects to follow her speedily. The Inference drawn by some people at The Hngue is that Eloff will carry letters from Mr. Kruger which may have a decisive effect In ending the war. The generalization is an elastic one, but without doubt well-informed people at The Hague are convinced that negotiations are In progress and peace nearer than is generally supposed. 1'rince Francis of Teck sailed for South Africa to-day to resume his duties with the remount department of the army. Gen. Bruce Hamilton has captured a small Boer laager eastward of Vryleid, southeastern Transvaal. Four Boers were killed, six were" wounded and seventeen were made prisoners. General Botha's brother-in-law. General Emmett, was among the Boers captured. Lord! Kitchener's weekly report shows that during the week ending to-day eleven more Boers were killed, peven were wounded. 153 were made prisoners and 326 surrendered. Cheers for the Hohenzollern. VIENNA, March 18. Cheers for the Hohenzollerns were given in the Reichsrath this afternoon and led to a very great uproar. Deputy Schoenerer (Pan-German) started the applause after a violent speech, during which he declared that his party almd at the creation of a federal relationship between Austria and Germany and would oppose every government failing to help in bringing about such relationship. Then Herr Schoenerer called for three cheers for the Hohenzollerr.s, and tho PanGermans responded heartily. Amidst protest from the Rightists and Centrists Herr Schoenerer was called to order. Noisy scenes followed between the Czechs and Ban-Germans. The former denounced Herr Schoenerer and declared they stood firmly by the Austrian Emperor and Austrian empire. OPENING THEIR LINES. Northern Paclfie and the Great Northem Removing Snow Drift. ST. PAUL. Mlnn, March lS.-Neither of the transcontinental lines has as yet fully rucceeded in clearing its road of the great haps.of snow under which it was buried by last week's blizzard. Advices received at the Northern Pacific offices in this city at 10 o'clock to-night wer to the effect that the snow plows working east and west from Bismarck and Jamestown were within sight of each other and that it now seemed possible that trains would be again running before morning. The Great Northern officials also say that they hope to have their trains running some time to-night, but can make no positive promise to that effect. The Soo Pacne road, which is also a sufferer from the effects of the storm, is making a reat effort to reojK'H traffic, but has only partially succeee'ed. No reports have beer, received as to the situation upon the Canadian Pacific line, which was heretofore blocked for several hundred miles. The loss of life and property caused by the storm is still lurgtly a mitter of conJecture But live authenticated cases of loss of human life hav so far been reJ

ported. There are rumors that there have ben lives lost among the nw settlers, but these lack conllrmatlon. The percentage of loss to live stock upon the ranees Is far from being accurately known. Estimates ranne lrm 2 to fin ' per cent., and it will be some days until anything like accurate figures can be obtain, d. It Is estimated that the loss to the transcontinental railroads will amount to very nearly ."oi .. TO SUCCEED R. C. CLOWRY.

T. P. Cook Made wetern General Superintendent of the Western. Union. CHICAGO, March IS. Theodore F. Cook, district superintendent of the Western Cnion Telegraph Company at St. I3uls, Mo., has been tendered and accepted the position of general superintendent of the Western division, with headquarters at Chicago, to take effect April 1. in the place of Col. R. C. Clowry. recently elected president and genera! manager, with headquarters at New York. Mr. Cook probably will come to Chicago next week to become conversant with his duties. Air. Cook's early boyhood days were spent on a farm in Nebraska, where his father was one of the earliest white settlers. His first telegraph service was with the overland telegraph line which was constructed from Omaha to San Francisco. He was later Western Union manager at Lawrence, Atchison. Kansas City anl other points. From 1S.S5 until 1K7 Mr. Cook held the position of assistant superintendent of the second district, with headuarters at Dallas, Tex. In March. lsDT. upon the death of Superintendent L. C. Baker in St. Louis Mr. Cook was appointed his successor. JAMES WILCOX'S TRIAL NO TESTIMONY IXTIIODLCEII HV THE DEFEXDAXT'S COUXSKL. State Rented and .Arguments Were ReKun :it Once The Prosecutor's Cloning Statement. ELIZABETH CITY, N. C, March IS. The State this forenoon rested its case in the trial of James Wilcox, charged with the murder of Miss Nellie Cropsey. Caleb Parker, a farmer, who passed the Cropsey residence about 11:13 o'clock on the night of the girl's disappearance, testified that he saw a man and woman, of about the same size, talking on the sidewalk as he passed. He did not know who they were. W. H. Cropsey, father of the dead girl, testified that Wilcox had offered no consolation during the search for the girl. Thomas Hayman testified that Wilcox told him he would help with the search for Miss Cropsey but for the fact that if the body was found people would think he killed her. At the afternoon session the defense announced that it would introduce no evidence, and by so doing gained the advantage of making the opening and closing arguments. The opening speech for the defense was made by II. W. McMullan. He said the State had not produced one iota of evidence to show that the defendant had done any wrong. It had not been proved that the dead girl had been killed by any one. The expert doctors, he said, contradicted themselves and disagreed with noted authors on medical jurisprudence. He asked the jury to bring in a verdict of not guilty. K. W. Turner, for the state, said the state would contend that the girl was killed by a murderer; that there was no motive for the suicide; that James Wilcox was the assassin, and that he went to the Cropsey home prepared to kill her. He said: "If Nellie Cropcey hatl desired to kill herself she could not have drowned In three feet of water. It was impossible. Wilcox had a motive for killing the Rirl. They had been sweethearts and she tired of him. He would not quit. She thought no more of him than a white doe does of a rattle snake. He could not win her back. He tried by playing the devoted to the other giris, but all plans failed. He grew desperate and mean. He went to that house, called the girl out, struck her the fatal blow, carried her to the river and dropped her in. He had plenty of time to do it. That we proved by witnesses. He killed her; she did not commit siucide. Wilcox had a motive. He told Chief of Police Dawson that the girl had laughed at him, but the defendant said the laugh would be on the other side. I hope you will find him guilty." Turner's speech occupied one and a half hours. Form.fr District Attorney W. J. Leary made the second speech for the defense and followed the line of argument laid down by McMullan. Returned the Uetter Unopened. CHICAGO. March IS.

Paine's Celery Compound Has Wrought Thousands of Cures After Failures of Physicians. To-day, kidney disease is as common as rheumatism. Thousands of men and women, living in fancied security, have kidney trouble in some form that must develop from day to day and end in death, unless wise and proper treatment is at once taken advantage of. Have you any of the following symptoms: Backache, frequent urinating, fluttering of the heart, nausea, vomiting, a dry, harsh skin, fever, coated tongue, extreme thirst, fickle appetite, acid bitter taste, deposit of mucus after urination, sour stomach, dropsical swelling, loss of memory, scalding sensations, and constipation? If you experience any of these symptoms, begin at once with Paine's Celery Compound, which will quickly put to ilight all symptoms of disordered kidneys. It Is nature's true remedy, the only one you can rely upon with certainty of cure. Mr. Albert Bowers, H North 13th St., Newark, N. J., writes: "Some two years ago I suffered from kidnes disease, during which time I had two doctors, neither of whom could do me any good. It was not until I used Paine's Celery Compound that 1 found relief. I had no strength, energy, or ambition, and was nervous and Irritable. 1 was all run down and lost about forty pounds. I felt that the end was near, when a friend suggested Paine's Celery Compound, and I have this great medicine to thank for mv restoration to health." m A linVh l 4 IVTC 4iold.SIIrr, Dror.i-

"In my opinion the maximum of heat la evolved by the combustion of the minimum of Gas. without any smell or undue dryness of atmosphere. The theory of tov is. in my opinion, peiltet and the result ditto. The percentage of carbonic cid Is not sensibly raited in a closed room after ten hours' burning, and the air is not dried to an appreciable extent.
