The plaintiff was Dr. Buchanan's patient, and bearded in the house. She was known by the name of Miss Louise Wilson. The deponent positively identified Miss Pollard as the woman who was at their house and known as Louise Wilson. © The Cross-Examinatien. This was the substance of the direct ex- amination, and Mr. Stoll thereupon took Yhe deposition to read the cross-examina- fon. The deponent said im the cross-ex- amination that she knew nothing of the arrangement by which Louise Wilson came to the house. The arrangement was made between Dr. Street and Dr. Buchanan. The Woman was there as a convalescent, and witness understood that she was recovering from a confinement. Deponent’s understand- img was that the young woman had been confined at a hotel: that she did not want to remain there during her convalescence; that Dr. Street had atiended her at the hotel, and had brought her to the house. The deponent’s understanding was that she hed had a miscarriage, Kence she had m: Mo inquiries about the child. The deponen uMderstood the young woman was a mar- Tied woman, and knew her as son.” Deponent found out that M son was not married. Dr. Bucha: her that she was an unfortunate girl from Kentucky; that she may have take, but she was convalescinz could not turn her out. Deponent had not liked to talk with her as to whether she ‘Was married or not. A Coaversat With the Patient. She did. however. converse with her on one occasion, when Miss Wilson went to @ hotel to see her friend—the man whe had seduced her—about some moaey matters. Deponent said to her, “Why do you not marry him and straighten out this mat- ter?” Miss Wilson said: “I cva’t marry him; it is impossible for me to marry him. She said he had ruined ser, and, in fact, she loathed him, and she could not live with him. This conversation arose be- cause Miss Wilson said she ha: man and mgnaged mat! a had offered to marry. Then de ed her why she did not mar: she replied that she had suffered the p: of childbirth; that she had st | heart against him, loathed him ard could not marry him. She said that she preferred to live a life alone. The deponent in one conversation tol! her that Dr. Street had bleds her by extravagant charges. De- ponent understood from her that Dr. Street bad attended her turiag a confire- ment. She said that “the sisters” were present on that occ ponent un- Bond Hill_and that sisters at Bond Hill.

Tiring at length of reading, he allowed his eyes to wander about the court room, seciningly being totally oblivious of the fact that there was a witness undergoing a cross- examination by one of his own counsel.

They are trying to induce the committee on finance to recast the whole provisions with ‘elation to sugar, so as to secure the abro- sation of the reciprocity treaties, and com- pel the collection of duty on all sugars. Thus tar they have received no assurances from the committee, and there are reasons to doubt the abrogation of existing treaties. No Intention to Interfere With Ext | with the existing treaties by anything with- in this bill, but apparently the consequence of the retention of the treaties was over- certainly by the sugar men. There is a great deal of embarrassment involved in the question, for the reason that if a tax | of 1 cent a pound is collected on all sugars and the treaties are abrogated this country will lose great benefits which have accrued | from two of these treaties, those of Ger- (Many and Spain.

Fu rnitu re | i i | | | i GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. --- Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, March 14.—The reaction in prices for which the bears have so patiently Waited came afier the noon hour today, and carried prices down from 1-2 to 2 per jeent. This is not at all unnatural in view of the recent uninterrupted rise, and will have a good effect on specuiation, without |materially changing the character of the market. The market was purely profes- /sional, and consequently narrow in its lim- ‘Itations. Traders were disposed to buy |stocks around the opening, but, finding | themselves alone in the field, began a sell- ‘ing movement, with the above result. The |regular list’ was conspicuously active | throughout the day, and for the first time ‘in several weeks the industrial stocks were lreiegated to second place. | London assisted in the early advance by a liberal buying of international securities | and reflected a more condident tone. | Western Union's report for the quarter | ending last month shows a decrease in earnings of over half a million dollars. This result was not unexpected, in view of the recent feeding out of the long stock, pre- | sumably for inside account. A decline of 1 per cent followed the publication of the report, and predictions of continued de- pression are heard on all sides. ‘This com- pany has competition and a falling off in its general business to contend with, and the bears are inclined to the belief that the price of the stock will eventually tell | of the hopelessness of such a struggle. Sugar sold up to 923-4 during the morn- | ing, but reacted 11-2 per cent with the rest of the market shortly after midday.
