The declaration also states that in another message to her followers Mrs. Eddy juo.u xteveiatlons something about “the woman in scarlet,’* which the plaintiff contends was directed toward her. to the Injury of her honor and good standing in the community. ' v Hundreds of Witnesses. Hundreds of witnesses have been called, and Christian Science will be probed to the bottom. It Is the intention of the attorneys for Mrs. Woodbury to expose the pretensions of Mrs. Eddy, whose attacks upon the former are said to have been due to the fact that the latter withdrew from the Christian Scientist church. William B. Johnson testified that he was an Intimate acquaintance of Mrs. Eddy and a director of the mother church. Attorney Peabody sought by this witness to show that Mrs. Woodbury was the woman referred to by Mrs. Eddy in the alleged libelous statement, on the ground that Mrs. Woodbury, who had sought and was refused admission to the mother church In 1895, was afterward admitted and later excommunicated. “We propose," said Mr. Peabody, “to bring before the jury all the Incidents in .

SINGLE TROLLEY DOOMED. Important Report Filed by Special Master at Chicago. CHICAGO. May The doom of the single overhead trolley system In the United States was apparently foreshadowed yesterday by Special Master in Chancery Frank L. Wean when he filed his report In the noted Peoria electrolysis case with the clerk of the United States Circuit Court. Should Judge Grosscup approve the findings of the master in final bearing the street railway companies of Peoria directly and all traction lines operating the single trolley system indirectly will be compelled to substitute & double wire, giving a return circuit without using the earth as & medium. Master Wean rules that the current from the single trolley wire escaping Into the ground causes the decomposition of water pipes and that the Peoria WaterWork* Company therefore has good grounds for damages. Of Interest Locally. The above decision is attracting attention In Indianapolis from the fact that the same question has been raised in a suit by the Manufacturera’ Natural Gas Company against the street railroad company, pending In the Superior Court. The gas company asks for an injunction against the street railroad company nsIng a ground current, and demands |&0,0U) damages. Recently Judge Carter held that the complaint of the gas company Is good. The case will come up for trial on its merits the first week In September. AH the gas companies in the city and the Indianapolis Water Company are Interested In the suit of the Manufacturers’ company. • The decision In Chicago sustains our contention,’’ said Vice-President Davis, of the Water Company, to-day. “Wc maintain that the maintenance of a single trolley system destroys our pljics and insist that by putting in a double wire the street railroad company can remedy

tho trouble ”

All the gas companies and the Water Company have planned to follow the Manufacturers’ company with suits for damage* after the case now pending here haa teen disposed of.

NEW YORK, May 30.—A dispatch to the Herald from Havana says: In the matter of the acceptance of the Platt amendment there is a general disposition to abide by the decision of the majority of the convention* substantially accepting the American terms. It can not be said, however, that those terms were acceptable. Numerous telegrams have been transmitted by delegates to the interior of the island. Senor Lacrete says that Cuba has voluntarily chained itself. Senor Portuondo accuses the revolutionary delegates who voted for the amendment of disloyalty to the principles of the revolution. Senor Qullez says be was always favorable to the amendment. Senor Villuenda considers the amendment an ultimatum. Juan Gomez says If a dictatorship) by Maximo Gomez would bring independence to Cuba, he would aid the movement unconditionally. Senor Robau said he voted for acceptance because he was a revolutionist. Jose Miguel Gomez thinks the acceptance of America’s terms saves the political personality of Cuba. Delegates from Santiago and Puerto Principe voted solidly against the acceptance of the amendment. The Union Democratic party had one vote, that of Delegate Glberga. The vote of the National and Republican party delegates was about equally divided. CUBANS WILL REST A WHILE.

WASHINGTON, D. C., May 30,-The train bearing the President and Mrs. McKinley and the party accompanying them on the tour through the West ended its journey here at 7:30 o'clock this morning, exactly on schedule time. Mrs. McKinley immediately was removed to the carriage In waiting and driven slowly to the White House. She looked pale and worn, the natural result of the grave ordeal through which she recently has passed. Secretary Cortelyou stated that she was bearing up splendidly. “She passed a comfortable night,” he said, "and is feeling better to-day. She shows

a gradual improvement.”

No demonstration marked any portion of the early morning run of the presidential run toward Washington. A few people were gathered at points along the way, but there was none but silent greeting, in accord with the spirit that had prevailed among the crowd that had witnessed the passing of the train since the start homeward last Saturday morn-

ing.

In this city several hundred people lined the sidewalk. A police cordon of a score or mors men was early on the scene and stationed at intervals along both sides of the track reserved for the train. Owing to the early hour, perhaps, only a few officials were present. Horses Cut Capers. The train was run on to a track Into the middle of Sixth street, just outside of. the Pennsylvania station, and the presidential carriage was drawn up alongside. The President’s team of horses shied at the noises about the depot, and were almost unmanageable. President McKinley was on the platform as the train rolled tn« and bowed to a few who lifted their hats in silent salute. Some delay was caused by the nervousness of the horses. Mrs. McKinley was removed from the private car Olympia to the carriage on a chair bqrne by the President and Dr. Rlxey, assisted by several others. Several members of the Cabinet stood alongside ready to lend a helping hand. Mrs. McKinley was slowly lifted into the carriage and made comfortable. Then, to avoid the rough cobblestones of the streets, “the crowd was cleared from the smooth stone sidewalk next to the depot, along which the carriage was slowly driven on the way to the White House. The members of the Cabinet and the others of the party entered their carriages and were driven home. It is probable that a meeting of the Cabinet will be held to-morrow. Friday being a regular Cabinet meeting day. The President and hla party were absent from Washington thirty-two days and traveled 6,675 miles. The Stop at Canton. CANTON. O., May SO—Only four stops were made In Ohio yesterday by the presidential train, the longest at Canton, where nearly a half hour was spent in order to give Mrs. McKinley an opportunity to see her sister, Mrs. M. C. Barber. and her niece, Miss Ida Barber. Many of the President’s old friends and neighbors were at the station. Judge Day, the former Secretary of State; John C. Dember, Judge Baldwin and Mayor Robertson came aboard the Olympia, but did not see Mrs. McKinley. Her sister was with her until the train left and her niece remained aboard.

FORTY-TWO LAW GRADUATES. One of Them a Young Woman—Their

Commencement.

Forty-two young men and one young woman received diplomas and forty-one of the number took the oath of admission into the United States and county courts at the seventh annual commencement exercises of the Indiana Law School at the Grand Opera House last night. Two of the graduates were not yet of age and did not take the oath. The house was filled with friends of the graduates. The members of the class were gowned in black, and as all arose to receive the. oath from Noble C. Butler, for the Federal Court, and Judges Allen and McMaster, of the county courts, the spectacle was impressive. The young woman graduate is Miss Cynthia Coles. The address to the class was delivered by Augustus L. Mason on “Trusts and Public Welfare.” A paragraph of his ad-

dress is as follows:

*’’Monopolies decrease the purchasing power of money. The only hope of the public to secure lower prices Is threatened competition. Economy of production Is of no benefit to the public if It Is to be exploited by monopolies. Good trusts and bad trusts—they are like saying ‘good evils and bad evils’ In the world. The supreme danger of the trust is in Its control of- industry and capital. The formation of trusts means that the laboring man must form trade unions, to which the unions of the present must pale into insignificance. The whole theory of trusts Is against nature. It is an attempt for the relief of a few at the expense of all mankind.” The Invocation was made by the Rev. G. L. Macintosh. A pleasing solo was sung by Mrs. Fugate, who was accompanied by Miss Shirley Shoemaker, of Irvington. After the address, and music by the orchestra, Dean Rohback, of the school, announced prises as follows: For maintaining the highest grade In the senior class. Glenda Burke Slay maker, of Elizabeth: second highest general average, Walter Brubaker, of Warsaw; honorable mention for having stood third highest, Walter Sinks Ferguson, of this city; junior prize, a free scholarship for the senior year, to the student standing highest in the Junior class, divided between Frank Seldenstlcker. of this city, and Fred McCalllster, of Shannondale; second highest general average In junior class Fred H.

Schlossen, of New Palestine; honorable mention to Curtis Schofield; special prize for having passed highest in a special examination, Guy Waltermlre. of Sclpio. The exercises closed with the valedictory address by Walter Brubaker. The degrees were conferred by the Rev. M. L. Haines, chairman of the executive committee of the board of trustees.
