Nashville, Tenn., March 12.—The at- tendance at the ~Cooper trial has fallen off perceptibly as the/arguments draw to a close. General Washington, in his argument for the defense, ad- mitted that Carmack had a right to write an editorial about pubk]c men. “But when he stepped ofer the bounds,” he assertod, “and began an sttack upon a private citizen then he exceeded his rights. The state would have you believe that these editorials were harmless, Oh, yes, it is all right Ww. H. WASHINGTON. to put John Smith’s or Bill Jones’ o1 Sam Brown’s name into a paper on the same page with the name of a horse thief or a conviet. It’s all right. But when they put your name in that position, why, it does make a differ ence and if you have any red bloed in your veins you are going to resent it. It makes all the difierence in the world whose ox is gored.” Working himself up into a frenzy of oratory Washington devoted nearly an hour to a wild denunciation of the Carmack edltorials of Oct. 21.

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR 60 ON Servia Declares for Peace but Continues to Arm. - AUSTRIA DOING LIKEWISE Turkey Feels Effect of Counter Activ- ity and Is Beginning to 8how Nerv- ousness—In Latest Note Servia In- sists That Annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina 8hould Be Regulated by Powers. Berlin, March: 1).—The latest Ser- vian note, in which that country sets forth that she does not desirs to pro- voke war with Austria-Hungary, but maintains that the question of annex- stion of Bosnia and - Herzegovina should be regulated by the powers, has been. delivered at the foreign office here. The impression created by Ser- via’s renunciation of territorial com- pensation i8 favorable and is regard- ed officially as a peaceful sign. The reference to mutual material interests i8 considered an indication of Servian willingness to discuss the Austro-Hun- garian proposal regarding the com- mercial treaty. It is not felt, however, that the situation has been cleared up by this communication. Although Ser- via glves assurance that she does not Wish war with the dual monarchy the faot remains that her military prep- arations are being continued and are causing counter preparations on the part of Austria-Hungary, which daily are becoming more onerous. Turkey also is beginning to show nervous- ness in the matter. It is not known here whether Servia will give a direct reply to the Austrian proposal, but it is thought that Austria can demand such an answer and that she need not accept this circular note distributed to the powers. > ADDED TO BRITISH EMPIRE -Big Tract of Land In Siam Ceded by Treaty.

Bl Paso, Tex., March 1.—Mexico will declare oft all wheat duties by April 1 in erder to prevent a bread famine, according to dustoms officials here. -For several years past Mexico has had to suspend the duty on wheat each spring on account of the short- age in that country.

Porter, a retired farmer of Barron, was paid the remainder of the $349.50. Mr. game warden of Superior, as having recelved “perhaps $125” for the dis- tribution of Stephenson literature, ete, ‘Witness accounted for the money received with the exception of about $500, most of it going to game war dens, who were to spend it in Ste- phenson’s interest. The balance, he sald, must have been spent in various ways. “A $10 bill here and there and it soon goes,” said Mr. Stone. TWO MEN KILLED BY CAVEIN Third Laborer Is Badly Injured and May Die.
