N ODIOUS MEASURE

A I LI I ELM'S A.NTI-STIUKE niLL shelved nv nii: nEiciisTAu. Great Interest In the Proposed Legislation, and Strong Speeches Against It Adoption. CANAL BILL ALSO DOOMED AGRARIANS SEKM DETERMINED DEFEAT THE MEASURE TO Lar.(ag Likely to De Dissolved .Removal of Chief Justice Chambers, of Samoa, Desired by Germans. Copjrlsht. 139. t7 the Associated rress. BERLIN. June 24. The attention of the Reichstag last week was chiefly devoted to the anti-strike bill, and the public showed more Interest in this than In any other measure of the session. The galleries were filled for the first time, and even the members attended better. Usually half the seats are empty. The press tlso devoted a vast amount of space to the measure, and the agitation against It became more active during the few days preceding the debase. i A a a . i - c- f - 1 - . the Evangelicals, Catholics and lalor unions and the central committee of Christian ministers pronounced against the bill. Even the committee of the trade court of Berlin, a semi-court Institution, petitioned against the measure and asked all other such courts and organizations of laborers and employers to do the same. It was clear from the beginning of the debate that the government's case was lost. The ministers and Conservatives never thowed a ray of confidence. Their whole attitude was apologetic. On the other hand, the attacks, which were uncommonly sharp, came from all parties except the Conservatlres. The vigor of the attack of the Centrist! and National Liberals was scarcely Inferior to that of the Socialists. The Centrist leader, Herr LJeber, was called to order for a sharp arraignment of the courts for recent "monstrous decisions" against laborers and "mildness" toward employers. The National Liberal leader, Herr Baasermann. complained that the measure pleased nobody but the Social Democrats, giving them excellent material for agitation. Herr Uebel. the Socialist leader, spoke for two hours, attacking the bill with great sarcasm and vigor. The points made by the more moderate opponents of the measure were that it la unnecessary class legislation and that the laws are adequate and reach all cases of strikers maltreating others. They demanded. Instead of the harsh punishment provided by the bill full freedom for labor unions to form coalitions with each other. It Is understood the Centrists will seek to pass a law in the autumn abolishing the prohibitions against labor organizations confederating. Prince Hohenlohe, the imperial chancellor, promised this years ago, and If the government-refuses to carry out the promise the Centrists themselves will present the bill. If the government yields it will aid the passage of a law protecting workmen who are willing to work. But such a measure must be based upon the common law of the empire. The refusal of the Reichstag on Thursday, by an immense majority, to refer the bill to committee is equivalent to its death. In the present form. The ratification of the purchase of the Caroline, Ladrone and Pelew Islands was passed iy a large majority, but with little excitement. Although the Centrists voted for the purchase, their leaders spoke slightingly of the acquisition, and the public shows little enthusiasm on the subject. The Kladderadatsch has published a striking cartoon beilttlng the purchase. In the foreground are the. head, feet and tail of a horse, whose body has been devoured by a rotund tiger crouching on the Island of Guam, in the f while the German eagle hovers in the air and does not find a place to alight. Before the canal committee, Herr Thlelen, the Prussian minister of public works, in behalf of the Ministry and with the express approval of the Emperor, said that if the bill passed the government would undertake to improve the waterways In upper Cllesta to Berlin, so as to make them navigable for 430-ton boats and equalize the railway rates of SHena with those, of Westphalia and give Westphalia a concession to build a canal. The Lippe government de- ' clines to embody these compensations in the bill. Dr. MiaueL the minister of flnno declared that further compensations were indlscussable. The present prospects of the till are clouded. , As soon as it was seen that the Ministry T7as able to make compensation the Agrarians adopted a policy of smothering the measure under a multitude of claims, estimated; already at half a billion marks. Count Von Kanltz and other Agrarians demanded, in behalf of East and West Prusc!a, an Improvement of the Vistula and a mtm of ranal leading out of th rlvprs The Brandenburg members demand improvement in the Odore, Spree and Watha, costing 100,000,000 marks, and Saxony and Hanover, although they will benefit immensely by the canal, claim compensations. The Extremists1 demand a pledge that the freight tolls of the canal will not be lower than on the railways. . In the canal committee Herr Barth, Freislnnfee leader, moved concessions which the government regarded as Inadmissible and fcls motion was rejected. This foreshadows the committee's rejection of the bill. If it la not passed by the house over the committee's adverse report, the Landtag will be dissolved. It is rumored the premier has had a royal decree to that effect ready since the lath. The Cologne Gazette not enly expects an early dissolution, but considers a change of Ministry probable, and plainly hints that Dr. Miquel will have to Co. The consequence of an appeal to the country are already occupying attention, as it Is evident it will be most Important and far-reaching. Inaugurating, perhaps, a new era in Prussian politics. The Hamburger Correspondent, often used by the government to express its views, says a dissolution will result in a majority for the canal at the expense of the Conservatives. The entire Ccvernment machinery will be set in motion calnst the Conservatives, which will be novel and risky, as It might compel the government to rely on the support of men of dliTerent principles than hitherto. The elections would strengthen the Uberals and perhaps the Radical Liberals, which would uncomfortable for the government. The remnant of the Conservatives would become more agrarian than ever. the alliance of the povernment parties would be broken up, and the Centrists would hold more trumps than V ever. - - - The Cologne Gazette Is most dissatisfied trlth the Bamoan committee decisions. It rays the failure to remove Chief Justice Chambers Is In a high degree unfriendliness t -cn the part of Great Britain and the United Gtates towards Germany. The offlclil of the German Foregn Office question lY.ff correctness of some of the later news from Samoa. They say the abolition of the Lir-shlp is entirely acceptable to Germany, uir.lch never espoused the cause of either r-.r.dliate. While admitting Chief Justice Ciarr.brrs's competency, the Foreign Office cystica the correctness of his decision in t.:s r"T-Js and doubts that the commission h-s CttiUd to leave him in office. They say ! i c'z -' 1 be retired like the others. The ret m a Llx. a IX a Maxsa, who was British

consul at Apia, gives great satisfaction, as the German officials are more Incensed against the British thnn the American officials in Samoa. The trade relations between the United States and Germany continue to attract considerable attention. The chief agrarian organ, the Deutsche Tages Zeltung, leaves no doubt that Count Von Kanltz s mo.Ion for a modification of the tariff of 1ST7 was aimed at the United States, and was intended to counteract the differential treatment of German sugar and the reciprocity concession to France, The paper reiterates the charge that the United States has broken the most favored nation clause of the treaty with Germany, and points to the complaints of exporters at the alleged annoyance they are subjected to by the United States customs officials. The report of the Society of Berlin Merchants and Manufacturers complains the United States customs officials arbitrarily raise invoices without regard to the prices paid in the country of origin, and it Is claimed the United States customs methods operate especially to the disadvantage of German manufacturers upon which a drawback has been paid. The report further asserts that the price proven to have been paid !n Germany should be accepted as final In the United States and adds that the prospect of better treatment of German exports is very slight. The German Chamber of Commerce report also complains that the United States tariff policy Is "growing more and more Intolerable," and sees no prospect of finding a market to replace that of the United States. Hence, it concludes, the export of textiles is threatened with narrowing markets in the Immediate future. r The Elberfeld Chamber of Commerce complains that many looms In Germany have to stand idle because the usual American orders have not arrived, and says: "The Dingley law is having serious consequences In Germany. The exports of textiles are declining." The editor of the Voerwaerts, the- Socialist organ, has been acquitted of the charge of slandering the highest Saxon court. He said it was a well-known practice In the Dresden court to treat Social Democrats as possessing less rights than other citizens. A Berlin judge held that the proofs offered substantiated the statement conclusively. The reactionary press commented severely on the decision, but all shades of Liberal papers receive the decision with great satisfaction. The peace conference is much discussed. The fact that Dr. Zorn was accompanied to Berlin, from The Hague, last week, by Frederick Holls, secretary of the American delegation, was much commented on. The Hamburg Correspondent sees therein proof that the Americans at The Hague considered it important to act in harmony with the Germans. It is believed that the German government is anxious to try every practicable method, with the other great powers, especially Russia and the United States, to reach an agreement. Emperor William arrived at Kiel Thursday, and the regatta there began the same day. The Empress, the Grand Dukes of Oldenburg and Saxe-Weimar, Prince Ruprecht of Bavaria and the minister of marine are attending the regatta. Several races were held Inside and outside the harbor Thursday, yesterday and to-day. His Majesty's yacht Meteor won a sea race to-day. the Kmperor commanding. The sport will continue until July 4. when the Emperor will begin his Norwegian trip on the imperial yacht Hohenzollern. There were 503 yachts and other boats entered for the regatta. Last year there were 4S1 Exclusive of tor

pedo flotilla, thirty-two German war ships are anchored off Kiel. So far the weather has been unfavorable for racing. The Emperor, after his return from Norway, will have a conference with the Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria, and the Prince Regent of Bavaria at Reichen Hall. The Imperial chancellor. Prince Hohenlche, will go in July on his usual summer visit to Altaussee. Austria, where he will be visited by Oount Goluchowski. the Austrian foreign minister. . The North German Gazette announces that Dr. Mumm von Schwarzensteln, minister to Luxembourg, has been appointed to replace Dr. Von Holleben, the German ambassador to the United States, during the latter's twelve months' absence from Washington. Waltec T. Swingle, an explorer connected with the United States Department of Agriculture, has arrived in Berlin after years of exploration In southern Europe, northern Africa and the Orient, seeking new plants for Introduction Into the United States, of which he has secured a great variety, including date palms for Arizona, New Mexico and Southern California; grape vines and wheat for experiments in the middle latitudes of the United State, and artichokes, pistaches and St. John's bread, which will be tried in the South for cattle food. The gunboat Concord has sailed from Hong-Kong for Llngayen for patrol duty. Lingayen is a fort on the Bay of Lingaven, on the northwest coast of Luzon. If supplies are being furnished to Agulnaldo's insurgents they are probably landed in this bay. from which easy access could be had to the Interior of the island. According to a dispatch to the Frankfurter Zeltung from Batoum, the Russians are constructing a railroad from Alexandrapol, government of Erivan, east to the Persian frontier and intended ultimately to reach, Urmia, Persia. The Lokal Anzeiger published to-day a dispatch from Klo-Chou, province of ShanTung, China, saying that natives have destroyed the railway work3 of the German engineers and that a punitive expedition has been sent against them. Professor Stiles, scientific attache of the United States embassy, has returned here after a fortnight's trips to Denmark and Sweden. M'MILLAN NOT SURPRISED. He Expected to Hear Plngree Had Joined Fortunes with Alger. MANCHESTER, Mass., June 24.-Senator McMillan, of Michigan, who is staying here, said to-day that the new phase in the senatorial contest in his State was not a surprise. Said Senator McMillan: "The announcement that Governor Plngree has gone over to the Alger faction Is no surprise to me, for I have known it for a long tlmer but I do not care to discuss It now. Reference is made to Secretary Alger as making trusts one of the Issues of the senatorial contest, and as making stock of a letter from me in which I upheld 'judicious combinations among the industries. I admit that quite a while ago I did write such a letter to one of the senators and used such an expression, but I did not mean 'combinations' as a trust In the general acceptance of the term. I believe a combination of industries a good thing, which has already been proved by the fact that wages have gone up greatly since the combiaations have been formed. The prices of material have advanced and the general condition of the country is much improved. Through these the Incorporators will reap large dividends later on. When I speak of combinations," he repeated, "I don't apply it in the nature of a trust, but I don't care to enter upon any controversy now. 1 have two years yet to serve and later on 1 will see what I can do." Senator McMillan said he was opposed to the election of senators by the direct vote of the people. t Secretary Alger Not Talking. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FORT WAYNE, Ind., June 24.-Sccretary Alger passed through to-night en route to Washington. He was at dinner and refused to be Interviewed. UNEXPLAINED SUICIDE. Father Visits Ills Daughter and Swallows Carbolic Acid. CHICAGO. June 2Wohn B. Monell traveled all the way from Jersey City to Chicago to see his daughter and also to take his life. Fifteen minutes after clasping his daughter In his arms. Monell swallowed the contents of a bottle containing carbolic acid, which he had brought with him from Jersey City. With his dying breath he told his daughter, Mrs. F. W. Gould, that he had brought the poison with him purposely to end his life after he had -seen his daughter. The cause of Monell's suicide Is a mystery. He refused to tell his daughter why he had taken the poison. Itoeky Mountain Locusts. CATHAY. N. D..

Sir Gallan Defeated by Only a Head Latonla Spring Prise Taken by SInlatse, a Twen.ty-to-One Shot. NEW YORK, June 24. The $20,000 Great Trial stakes for two-year-olds was the attraction at Sheepshead Bay to-day and it drew a alrge attendance. Mesmerist, of the Bromley string, was a pronounced favorite, being systematically backed from the opening of the betting with his stable companion, Missionary. The John Daly pair, His Royal Highness and Erwln, and Virginia Earle were the next best backed; then came the Morris pair, Modrlne and Water King. There was but little delay at the post, the starter catching them all in motion on the first break, and in good order. Virginia Earle and Mesmerist were first to get out of the bunch, and they ran locked to the turn into the main track, when Mesmerist went to the front, leaving the filly as if she had been standing still. Erwln then made a bid for honors and ran In second place for a time, but the soon fell back among the half dozen of possible place horses. Mesmerist then looked like a sure winner, when David Garrick came from behind him like a flash and before the gasping crowd had got over the shock he was three lengths In front and won by that margin, with something to spare. In the Sheepshead Bay Handicap Imp and Bendoran were the only ones who were heavily backed, the latter being a hot favorite. Bendoran went to the front after a good start and opened up a big gap. He set too hot a pace, however, and as they came into the stretch Fly by Night and Imp were gaining on him and a furlong from home Fly by Night had passed him and, after a brush with Azucena, who got ahead of Bendoran, won handily by half a length.

Twenty thousand people saw Prince McClurg. the mighty son of Wadsworth, win the St. Louis Derby, the rremler Western turf event, at the fair grounds to-day. The attractive card offered by the fair association brought race lovers out in droves. Ladies in elegant toilets graced the clubhouse verandas and lawn and the grand stand. The inner field wa9 thrown open to the public and there a great concourse of people gathered. The betting ring was jammed and the betting was spirited. The track was not fast, last night's rain leaving a heavy cushion. Owing to their impressive performances on the local track Streamer was made the favorite and W. Overton second choice in the Derby. The local talent could see nothing but these two horses in the race and great bunches of money went Into the ring on them. Prince McClurg, however, did not lack friends. The Cincinnati contingent got down on him to a man as did many others who had not forgotten his great performances in the past. The Prince was made third choice by the pencil ets at 4! to 1. To a fair start Chancery took the lead followed by Streamer and Leo Planter, the others strung out At the quarter W. Overton assumed command. Streamer and Be True close up, the others bunched. At the Judges' stand W. Overton still led by half a length, but BUI House had displaced Streamer, who led Be True by a head. The others were stretched out for a distance of three lengths. At the three-quarters Sir Galian and Prince McClurg made a play for the Hying leader. Frost shook up the former sharply and he responded with a greut burst of speed, passing W. Overton as if he was anchored, and followed by the Prince, led the way into the home stretch by three lengths. Streamer being half a length behind the son of Wadsworth. At the last sixteenth pole Southard brought Prince McClurg up with a rush and getting on even terms with the Hying Sir Gallan a battle royal to the wire ensued, the Prince winning in the last Jump by a short head. Chancery came very fast at the linish, getting third place, three lengths behind Sir Galian, and beating Billy House therefor by a nose. Prince McClurg's performance was truly a wonderful one, In view of the fact that he carried the top weight in the race. Sir Galian's race stamps him as a great race horse, as he had already won an event previous to the Derby. Two favorites, two second choices and two third choices and an extreme outsider took down the purses. Summary: St. Iuis Derby, value 17,000, sweepstakes for three-year-olds, mile and one-half: Prince McClurg, 125 (Southard), 44 to 1 and 2 to 1. won by a head; Sir Gallan. lo-j (Frost). SO to 1 and 10 to 1, second; Chancery. 107 (Thorpe), 10 to 1 and 5 to2, third. Time, 2:40. Close of the Latonln Meeting. CINCINNATI, O.. June 24.-The spring meeting cf the Latonla Jockey Club came to a close to-day in a blinding rainstorm. The track was flooded from the continuous downpour, making the going very unsafe. The storm w as at its height when the horses went to the post in the Latonla Spring prize, which was the stake feature of the day. Sprltuelle, the odds-on favorite In the event, was beaten before going a half mile. The winner turned up in Mala!?, a 20-to-l shot, who was never headed from start to finish. In spite of the bad weather a large crowd was out to see the sport and the betting was lively. The meeting just ended was the mon successful held by the latonla Jockey Club tn the last three years. There will be no racing on the local tracks until the early part oX September, ' when

Newport opens. Most of the big stables will go from Latonia to Chicago and St. Louis. - TWO RECORDS nnoivcx.

The warm weather here prompted President McKinley and several members of his party to remain about the Plunkett residence this forenoon. At noon the President and Mr. Plunkett were driven up Greylock mountain to Bellows Vise, where the scenery Is most picturesque. Abner McKinley has been called to New York and will leave . to-morrow. The President visited the memorial and public library building late this evening and was welcomed by Sayles Post, G. A. R, The President .occupied a seat by the side of Commander Mole, on the platform in the post room. The commander of the local X.ost made a short address of welcome and cheer after cheer was given to the distinguished guest. The President then shook hands with the members of the post, and repaired to an adjoining room, where the Woman's Relief Corps was assembled. He wa? welcomed by President Simmons of the corps, and a few minutes were; consumed in shaking hands with tho ladles. He then returned to the post room and made a short address. Ho said: "Comrades, I am very glad to see you. Tou are older and grayer than you used to be, but your voices arenas strong as they were from lS61to 1863, and you cheer very much now as you did then. I congratulate you on this beautiful room which you have to hold your meetings in. There are very few post rooms In the country more accessible or more convenient- I am glad also to recall the fact that I assisted the comrades in laying the cornerstone of this memorial building. I wish you all health, happiness, prosperity and contentment in your homes." The President affixed his signature on the post register and then returned to the home of Mr. Plunkett. The President's reception to the people of Adams?, which was to have taken place this evening, was postponed on account of a very heavy thunderstorm. The reception will probably occur Tuesday night. The plans for the presidential party for to-morrow are simply the attending services at the Congregational Church and later attending the Sunday school, when the President will give a reception to its members.

There was a public open-air meeting here to-night to protest against the action of the military authorities in the Coeur d'Alenes. The speakers were Judge William Clancy, of the District Court. Peter Brcen and T. S. Hogan, secretary of state. Mayor McCarthy presided. Speeches were made denouncing the military arm of the government for assuming to dictate to the men of the Coeur d'Alenes whether they should join the ranks of union labor or surrender their right to earn a living. The resolutions adopted condemned the Imprisonment of men at Wardner, "held and tortured to wring from their lips words which might be used to establish guilt under conditions which make the Spanish Inquisition pale into insignificance." The resolutions characterize as Infamous the brutality exercised by the military authorities over the men who died in the bullpen, by denying them the right to religious consolation at the hour of death. They call upon President McKinley to order a cessation of this usurpation of power.

REQUISITION DENIED

GOV. PIXGREE DOES XOT TIIIXK FOWLER CHASE WAS ABDUCTED. No Crime Committed and No neanon Why the Duhnies Should Be Arrested and Brought Back. SCORING FOR CHASE SENIOR DUII3IEVS LAWYERS SAY FATHER IS S 131 PLY AFTER THE MOXEY. Sanitarium Attendent Tells of Queer Things Done by the Young; Man While an Inmate. DETROIT, Mich., June 24. At midnight to-night Governor Plngree, after a long conference with Attorney General Oren, announced he would deny the application for requisitions on the Governor of New York for Mr. and Mrs. Charles Duhme, of Cincinnati, who were alleged to have forcibly abducted their nephew, Moses Fowler Chase, of Lafayette, Ind. Young Chase has an estate of about $000,000. The Governor said the testimony given did not prove any crime had been committed; that it seemed to prove the young man went with his aunt of his own . will. Inasmuch as the young man ia not being hidden, his whereabouts being well known and his property safe under the jurisdiction of tho Indiana courts, the Governor said he could see no reason for bringing him back to Michigan and therefore denied the application. He expressed tha opinion, however, that both sides of the controversy were sincere In their contentions and beliefs. He said he considered tho Indiana courts the proper place for the trial of his sanity and his capability to manage his own affairs. Attorney A. S. Humler. of Lafayette, Ind., speaking for the defense, accused the elder Chase of plotting to have his son taken to Lafayette and adjudged Insane there, when the young man was. In fact, perfectly sane. He declared the dollar mark was influencing Moses Fowler Chase's father far more than any filial feeling. He cited the boy's letter, written when he was at the sanitarium, asking Mrs. Duhme to have her husband come and take him to her house, as strong evidence that the young man was sane and being detained in the retreat against his will. Attorney Alfred Lucking, also for the defense, followed Mr. Kumler and made the point that no crime had been committed, because Moses had gone with his aunt and uncle voluntarily. "The application for a requisition," said Mr. Lucking, "states that young Chase was forcibly abducted. We contend he was not, that he was and Is sane, and that he went with his aunt voluntarily and gladly." When Colonel Irish, for the applicants, summed -up the case he brought up a new rolnt. "Why'," he asked, "if young Chase is perfectly sane, is he not here to prove his sanity to the Governor and so settle the entire matter easily and expeditiously?" Irish contended that from the evidence given the Governor out to issue the requisitions, and when the Duhmes are returned to Michigan let a magistrate decide whether a crime had been committed. He cautioned the Governor that if he denied the denial would bear great weight In whatever court Mr. Chase carried the matter to, and said that if no crime had been committed that the Duhmes should have no . hesitation in returning and having the case tried in the courts. Attorney Alfred Russell, counsel 1; F. S. Chase, father of Moses Fowler Chase, began the argument in behalf of the application for a requisition on Governor Roosevelt for the return from New York of the Duhmes and of Charles Peterman, young Chase's alleged abductors. Mr. Russell asserted it was perfectly apparent there was a deep-laid plot by which five persons, by concurrence, met here and abducted the boy, who, in reality, was Incapable of forming an Intention for himself. G. P. Haywood, the Lafayette, Ind., attorney, continued the argument for the applicant. He contended that Chase's father naturally sought to protect his son from excitement and against vthe Duhmes alleged conspiracy. He quoted law to the effect that the consent of a person abducted could not constitute a defense, unless It was satisfactorily shown that such consent was not obtained by fraud, duress or threats. He insisted that the boy was mentally Incompetent when he left Detroit and declared if his father had shot Duhme no court would convict him of the crime. John D. Conely opened for the Duhmes. He asserted that Moses was his own master and that his father had no right, on his coming of age, to assume charge of him and hurry him to Indiana so that, as suspected, the father could be appointed his majority guardian. The act of the Duhmes, he contended, was but a rescue, sought by Moses himself. Alfred Russell, in the opening proceedings, outlined the case. The Duhmes, he said, had abducted the insane Chase so that the young man could make a will, leaving his property to anybody he chose, subject to their Influence. Young Chase, Mr. Russell continued, after he had received the sunstroke that affected his mind, plunged into grave excesses and persisted In his depravity until the Probate Court of Genesee county declared him mentally incompetent and he was taken to the Flint sanitarium. Most of the details were shocking, the attorney said, and he was loath to give them publicity. Having read the affidavits of doctors, wh'ch went to show that the young man was insane, he added: "He destroys furniture; he has strange hallucinations; he imagines himself a god." Mr. Lucking, for the defense, said he would admit that Chase wa3 a proper subject for treatment at the time when the commitment was signed by the Probate Court, but he was ready to show by most eminent physicians of Cincinnati that the young man was sane June 4, and that he would prove by the father himself that the son was sane when he left the sanitarium June 4. He would prove by letters that the young man begged his aunt, by letter, to go to the sanitarium and take him away. Mr. Lucking said he would demonstrate fully the fact that the father wished to have the son taken to Indiana to have him adjudicated insane and recommitted to the asylum so that the son could be kept out of the way of the uncle and aunt, lie premised to show John D. Conely that the young man was sane at the time he was brought from the sanitarium to this city; that Mr. Conely was in the depot at the time of the young man's arrival, on the night of the alleged abduction. Dr. Henry R. Niks, first medical assistant in the Oak Grove sanitarium, who had medical charge now, during the absence of Dr. C. B. Burr in Europe, said that Chase, when he first came to the sanitarium in September, Imagined that he was a great Inventor of cannon balls. After he had been there ten days he became Incoherent. In ten days more he became muscularly active. He tore his clothing, destroyed gas fixtures, said that he wished to be a soldier in the British army; was uncleanly In his habits, and a nurse had to be in constant attendance on him. In October the patient became physically weak, said the doctor, was afraid of being left In the dark, and fearful of taking the Russian baths that were part of the treatment. In March ahd April he became very economical. Certain articles of diet he objected to on account of a fear that they would cost too much. He also said he could not afford to buy an overcoat. Along in May he appeared to be growing brighter. He knew that Dr. Burr had gone to Europe, and along toward June 1 he began to talk about returning to Lafayette, but he didn't seem to know what he wanted to go there for. r Attorney Haywood conducted the examination. He drew from the witness that the patient would stand before a mirror for hours admiring himself, and would kiss his reflection In the glass. Coming to the time when the young man left the asylum, the witness said that the patient had spent two hours in writing an Incoherent telegram. In short. Dr. Nlles swore, when Moses Fowler Chase left tho eanitarlum with his father on lbs day of the alk;ed abducting.

CHICAGO, June 24. The Tribune to-morrow will say: "Ex-Governor William J. Stone, of Missouri, acting chairman of the Democratic national committee, takes sharp Issue with William J. Bryan and other leaders of his party. While not committing himself as to whether this country should own and govern the Philippine Islands, he declared strongly against the anti-expansion plea. He asserted that after Dewey hauled down the Spanish colors at Manila there was nothing left for patriotic Americans to do but , sustain the government In Its attempt to settle the questions there arising without unduly criticising Its course, and concluded with an argument In favor of doing everything possible toward increasing the American merchant marine, even to the extent of subsidies by the government where necessary. He said to-day: 'I do not think the situation in the Philippines, as it is at present, should be made a political Issue. I know much Is said regarding the policy of the government in the Philippines, but I do not understand it has formulated any policy with reference to them as yet. It Is time enough to raise an issue on this question when this policy shall have been announced, but until that Is done I hardly regard it as affording a basis for a legitimate political issue. I would not be understood as indorsing all that the government has done In connection with these Islands since Admiral Dewey struck the Spanish colors In Manila bay, for I think some grave mistakes have been made, but as matters stand at present we have got to stand by our country " LAUREL SUFFERS BY FIRE.
