No attempt was made this morning: to resume a full service on the Brooklyn bridge, on which several suspension rods were found to be broken yesterday. Engineers examined the bridge carefully to-day. and it is expected that full reparrs will be made in a day or two. About noon an order was issued stopping all street-car and vehicle traffic on the bridge. Acting- District Attorney l.a Barbier has called the attention of Bolice Commissioner Murphy to the report that the breakage was known to the bridge ofllcials for a week. If this were so. wrote the acting district ajtorney. and If no steps were taken looking to repairs, then the ofllcials were guilty of criminal negligence and the case will be presented to the grand jury. Train and trolley traffic was still practically at a standstill on the bridge this evening when the hour came for the daily traffic toward Brooklyn and kindred suburbs. With the majority of Brookivn residents whose business Is in the borough it was a case of walk the hi bridge or take to the ferries. At 5 o'clock there were ten trolley cars running on the shuttle system at intervals of ten minutes, and two elevated trains with capacity for about l.ooo rerfons. This service was hopelessly inadequate. BONES OF A KING. Hemnlna of Edmund the Martyr Return f 1 to KnKlmitl for Ilurlul. LONDON. July 25.-The remains of Kins Edmund the Martyr, the last King of the East Angles, who reigned from .S55 to 70. have been returned to England after a sojourn in France of more than 7"0 years.

The body, after burial at Hoxne. was rcinterred at Bury St. Edmunds, from which place it was carried off to France by Louis VII. Through the good ofti-ees and personal intervention of the Pope the relics are now returned to England. MOTHER IN TEARS. CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) .... viui uc. cnoiield came. He said I m-ust leave my daughter as she was. I remember little after that. I did not speak to the otRcer. I did not see Dr. Paddock. He made a mistake in saying that 1 saw him that night. I saw him at breakfast only. I heJped to get breakfast that morning, and when Dr. Paddock came 1 said to him: 'Doctor, have you a daughter of your own?' and he answered. 'Yes.' I said: '.My girl was good; my girl was pure. You will treat her as if she were your own.' Later the nurse told me that I had a stiff neck. On examination I found that . it was bruised. The nurse told me that they must have, tried to choke me." Continuing, witness said she remembered that Dr. Paddock told her at the Chapin house that It was his opinion that a slungshot was what had hurt htr. Mrs. Fosburgh's testimony was given with dramatic effect- The last bit of direct testimony she gave-was to the effect that she did not see the intruders. The scene was so Impressed on her misd that she could never forget it. District Attorney Hammond then began his cross-examination. He elicited from the witness that she was sure that she did not see Dr. Paddock until the morning. Mr. Hammond read many questions which had been propounded at the Inquest relative to Dr. Paddock's ilrst call, about which she testified last week. Mrs. Fosburgh reiterated that the did not see Dr. Paddock on his first call. "Didn't you tell Dr. Paddock that the trouble was between him and his wife?" was asked. "There was no trouble." "Did you not tell Dr. Paddock that Robert had married below his station?" "No," answered Mrs. Fosburgh. The Judg"- excluded this question and tl e answer. Mrs. Fosburgh also answered in the negative when she was asked whether she had told Dr. Paddock that Amy ?hould have nur.-ued a different course of conduct toward the defendart. The defense rested this afternoon and In rebuttal the State called six witne:se. Tho rirst was Major McKay, of the state Collce. '.vho testified that Beatrice 1 osurgh had stated in his presence that she saw no cne In the Fosburgh house but members of the family at the time of the shooting. Patrick Parker, superintendent of detectives of Providence, tcstitied that he visited Miss Sheldon In com pa 'm with General Whitney, about Sept. LD. Miss Sheldon described the events of the night and said she heard no shooting and saw no one but members of the f amily. The other rebuttal testimony was unimportant and the trial was adjourned until to-morrow. TWO AFFIDAVITS. noth Mnde by "Women Who Sny Durglnrs Shot MI Foshurgli. NEW YORK. July 25. Captain Titus, chief of the New York City Detective Bureau, to-day forwarded to Chief of Police Nicholson and District Attorney Hammond, of Pittstleld. Mass.. two aflldavlts concerning the Fosburgh case. The tlrst affidavit is made by Alice Dugan, who says that she is a houseKeeper on East Fortysecond street, this city. She says: "That a girl named Handlside, of Springfield. Mass., who is living with her now. told her about three weeks ago that h man named LewGray and another man visited the house of the Fosburghs on the night of the l'.uh of August. If, and found a revolver on the table and that he shot a girl and escaped." The second aflldavit is made by the Handlside woman, but signed "Olive M. Gray," the last name being that of the man with whom she lived. She says that her home is in Springfield. Mass.; that she was at Springfield on Aug. D; that she remained there until Labor day and came to New York. On Aug. 1J she met Gray in Springfield. He told her he was going to "make a touch." She met him again on the 21st. and he told her that he and a fellow named Alfred Foy "did a trick" at a house ip. Plttsfleid; that he heard a noise in the house and found a revolver on a table and he shot at someone. He also said that he got a gold watch and hid it under a large tree at Warren. He then left. The next time she met him was In the middle of September in New York on the Bowery. He told her then that he had an awful time getting away from Springfield, as he thought the police were after him.

DR. KOCH UNDER FIRE

OERMA HACTF.IUOLOGIST SEVEnCLV CRITICISED II Y GERMANS. Ill Theory Hint Ilnmnn llelng Are Immune from Contagion from Tu berculofted Cattle Discredited. CANDIDATES TOR THE PAPACY MAKING A It It A G EM KX TS FOIX THE MEETING OF THE CARDINALS. Belief Prevalent at Ilorue that the Election of Pope Leo' Successor Will Not He Delayed Long. LONDON, July 25. King Edward received the foreign delegates to tho British Congress of Tuberculosis at Marlborough House this afternoon. His Majesty briefly expressed his keen interest in the congress and his hopes of fruitful results therefrom. Presiding at this afternoon's session of the congress Earl Spencer (chancellor of the Victoria University, and a vice president of the congress) severely criticised Dr. Herbert Koch's theory to the effect that human beings were immune from contagion from tuberculosed cattle. Earl Spencer said he hoped this was true, but that he hoped that the dissemination of such views would not tend to cause laxity on the part of the dairymen and cattle owners, or less vigilance by the authorities charged with protecting the consumers of milk. Professor John MacFadyean, of the Royal Veterinary College, in a paper on "Bacilli in Milk as a Source of Tuberculosis in Man," discussed the grounds upon which Dr. Koch based his belief, contending that they were either not well founded, or had little bearing upon the question, and he submitted arguments to prove the strongest grounds remained for regarding milk from tuberculosed cows as distinctly dangerous to human beings. Dr. Ravencl, of Philadelphia, gave an Instance of the Infection of ten persons from tuberculosed cattle, but said he considered such instances to be rare. James King, a veterinary inspector of London, attributed the large increase in the imported meat trade to the rigid inspection of home-killed catt!, and said a meat salesman assured him that the losses from condemned carcasses were so great that the British dealers were forced to buy imported meat. Mr. King dissented flatly from Dr. Koch'a belief In the nontransmission of bovine tuberculosis to human beings, and urged the adoption of stringent measures in this respect, to insure the healthfulness of imported carcasses. He also urged a government compensation for cattle destroyed under its orders, in order thoroughly to stamp out tuberculosis from British herds, where, he declared, it was alarmingly prevalent. Koch Not Supported nt Home. BERLIN, July 25. Prof. Kocha statement of his discovery regarding tuberculosis, as made before the . congress now in cession In London, has been received here with tiome skepticism among physicians. Before the regular proceedings of the Berlin Medical Society began to-day the members discussed Prof. Koch's adress informally, dwelling upon the fact that his -present conclusion is diametrically opposite to his former position. Several members pointed out that his new theory was asserted by him with as much decisiveness as the old. In the course of the session Prof. Vlrchow referred to Prof. Koch's address in the following terms: "Nothing remains for me but to maintain more positively than ever my view that the decisive thing in tuberculosis is the tuberculosis center, 'tuberkel-knoeachen,'-which is the pathological mark of tuberculosis, and not the bacillus as such." MORE PEACE Rl MORS. Emperor William Anxlonn to End the South African War. LONDON, July 25. "The rumor as to early peace negotiations which has pervaded the House of Commons for some days," fays the Daily Express, "has taken the more definite form that Emperor William is soon to assume the role of peacemaker. Mr. Kruger and his advisers are reported a having empowered the Kaiser to act for the Boers, and he is considered willing to take the initiative in order to popularize hid relations with the German people, who disapprove his friendship for Great Britain. Something apparently is on foot, whether Emperor William is in It or not." The War Office has received the following dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria: "G. units column captured a Boer convoy, taking twenty-five prisoners, near Reitzi burg. Our casualties were eicht. French's columns are gradually pushing tne enemy north in Cape Colony." Will Provide Homes for Boers. CHICAGO, July 25. Stirred by the report recently submitted to the House of Lords by Lord Raglan, under secretary of the English War Office, of the number of men, women and children who died during the month of June in the refuge camps in South Africa, the Transvaal League of this city ha?, through the Department of State at Washington, offered to remove a number of people from these camps, and bring them to this country, or transport them to Europe. The offer was made on July 13 through Secretary Hay. The Transvaal League offers to take as many people from these camps as their means will allow, and guarantee to the British government that all people so removed shall be removed from South Africa. To-day word was received from the State Department that the maiter had been forwarded to Minister Choate in London, with the request that he use his good ofhees in laying the offer of the. League before the British government. PREPARING TO ELECT A TOPE. .Meeting of the College of Cardinal l'rohnbly Not Far Off. ROME. July 25. Although the Pope is in excellent health, the feeling prevails at the Vatican that a meeting of the College Cardinals cannot be far off and there is no secret that the candidates to the papacy are making elaborate preparations for this conclave. One of the chief characteristics of the next conclave, according to a high prelate, will be the large number of candidates for the chair of St. Peter, whereas, after the death of Pius IX. there were only two or three candidates whose chances for the papacy were strious. To-day half the Sacred College aspires to the chair and a first scrutiny is expected to show six or seven cardinals are favored for the pontificate. Those who are well Informed anticipate a deadlock and the ultimate selection of an outsider who has not yet been mentioned. Prince Victor Willing. PARIS, July 26. The Figaro, in view of the Parliamentary general election ten months hence, has opened an investigation into the views and plans of the different parties. It begins to-day with the Bonapartists and the Royalists.

for the defense nnd greatness of France, forgetting the past." Will Try to Steer Ills Balloon Again. PARIS, July 25.

The motor is working satisfactorily and producing a higher seped than at the last trial, but wind and tain have thus far prevented a thorough test.

"The deadlock of the ministers of the powers has ended," says the Ptklng correspondent of the Dally Mall. "Russia has withdrawn her proposal to increase the duties to 10 per cent, and has accepted, with some important reservations.

Russell providing for her first appearances In "Romeo and Juliet" and "Faust," after a short course in Italj. The Turkish government has arbitrarily refused to permit the Greek squadron to visit Smvrna. Sal on lea and Mount Athos. f Greece sent the usual notification of the projected cruise but the Porte declined to entertain the proposition on political grounds. Diplomatic officials regard the attitude of the Turkish government in this particular as illegal. The directors of the London Metropolitan Railway have declined the offer of Charles Yerkes to introduce electricity into their system, partly because they are unwilling to surrender control of the line. Mr. Yerkes and his assistants offered to guarantee ö2 per cent, on the ordinary stock, instead of the present lower rate, but the directors decided to Issue fresh capital and to make the installation themselves. In the House of Commons last night Mr. Brodrick, tho war secretary, during the debate on the war vote, replying to suggestions that Great Britain ought to adopt the higher rates of pav in force in the United States, said: "The United States call for only one man for -every 1.000 population for military service. Great Rritain calls on one in every 100 of her population. There is no proof that the pay which attracts one in every l,X)u would draw one in every 1(0." SHOT BY A WOMAN.
