It was averred that a charge of drunkenness would have been preferred against Sherwell for his fictions on the ittal night, and he was told to get a witness to testify in his behalf, and by one of the State's witnesses It was proved that Sherwell had ought aid in that direction during the afternoon of the day before the night of the murder.

MANCHURIA RUSSIANIZED PORTION OF CHINA DOMINATED OY THE CZAR'S GOVERNMENT. Evacuation Now Will Menn Nothing, as the Country Hus Meen Divorced In Various Ways. LONDON, Oct 22-Cabling frorn Peking, the Times correspondent says he has Just returned from a two months' tour of Manchuria and an Inspection of the Russian railway. He describes the results of the energy which, within Ave years, has transformed Manchuria into what is virtually a Russian province and points out that the privilege granted Russia of guardlnc the Manchurian railroad will enable her to continue her effective occupation after the nominal evacuation of the country. At Hailar, Harbin, Hantaholgu, Progranltchiaia and many other places, continues the correspondent, there are now thriving Russian towns or settlements, with all modern Improvements. Manchuria is absolutely dominated by Russia; all the officials are absolutely in her power and she controls all the waterways while Manchuria is disarmed. Although for a long time Russian occupation pressed hard on the Chinese, this is no longer so. The people are well and humanely treated, while the Russian occupation has brought a great accession of wealth to them. Millions of roubles have been spent in the country, and the Chinese are experiencing a material prosperity such as they have never known before. Continuing, the Times correspondent describes the transformation of Manchuria as marvelous. He says thousands of solid buildings for permanent Russian occupation are being built and that Chinese labor is used along the entire length of the railroad. There are now no railroad guards, goes on the representative of the Times. They are called significantly frontier guards, and will number 30,000 men. or whatever greater numbers Russia thinks fit. They will be distributed along the railroad; permanent guardhouses are already built for them every three miles, and there are large barracks in every important center. Thus Russia will be more immovably installed than before the evacuation, as the railroad passes the gates of the most important and richest cities of three provlnc s. The Times, in a rather alarmist editorial article on tho foregoing dispatch, says it is futile to talk of Russia's bad faith in the seizure of Manchuria. She but acted according to her traditions, though on a more audacious and grander scale than usual. She is rapidly acquiring North Persia by similar meaiio, and Lord Cra r. home's recent statement sh-ws; that she Is disposed to similar projects in Afghanistan if Great Britain gives her an opportunity.

The attaches of the City Hospital who have become hardened to all sorts of things had their hearts melted last night win n little Foreman Dillon, four years old, died after an illness of but two days. Tho Dillon child, in company with his brother. Freddy Dillon, two years old, and Earl Swartzwolder, six years old. were brought to the institution last Friday from the Orphans' Home, suffering from a peculiar ale in trouble. The children were so intelligent that a strong liking for them waa formed by the attaches of the hospital. The children m-ere allowed tho fr .-dorn of the Institution, and they were watcheu with pleasure by ail the convalescent patients. Ixito Sunday afternoon, while Dr. Jones, superintendent of the hospital, whs sitting near a window in his room, he saw Foreman Dillon on the lawn playing with matches. Dr. Jobes watched the boy for awhile until the latter had ignited a piece of paper. Fearing that tho boy might get burned. Dr. Jobes ran down stairs. Before he reached the outer yard he heard wild screaming. As he reached tho door he was confronted by Foreman Dillon, running to him with his little dress aflame. The doctor succeeded in putting out the lire, but not before it had burned a large place on the boy's back. Dr. Jobes took the little boy inside and appll d lotions. Monday morning, when Dr. Jobes vipitcd his little patient, he noticed that pneumonia had developed during the night and was then in an advanced stage. All efforts were made to counteract the progress of the malady, with little result. The little fellow died last night at 7 o'clock, while his two-year-old brothfr sat on a couch nearby. As the life obbed aw.iy the eyes of the nurses and the doctors lilled with tortrs. It was as if one of their own kindred was leaving them. ItVis said that the Dillon children have a mother in thiß city. Inquiry at the Orphans' Home did not reveal where she lived, as it Is said she seldom visited them. Kfforts will bo made to rtnd her.
