Meanwhile, she said, her husband told her if she did not get cl-ar of the body, he would have he arrested, and becoming alarmed she that night rose from her bed and, though very weak, walked to the foot of the canal and threw the body in the water. Prosecutor Pugh spoke very kindly of the woman, who, he said, did not appear to realize that she had done wrong, and he believed she was influenced to do as she had through fear of arrest. Judge Scott then took the action stated. After the court's decision was announced, the woman left the stand and went smiling to the cell room to await transportation to prison. SPAIN KEEPS CALM Peace Overtures Bring the People a Feeling of Belief, INDIFFERENCE 18 PREDOMINANT | Prospect of An Armistice Pending Definite Settlement. CAMARA REACHES’ CADIZ LONDON, July 20.—The Madrid corres- pondent of the Daily Mail, remarking the “feeling of satisfaction and relief the peace overtures have produced,” says: “There is little probability of popular discontent and nene at all if Spain is al- lowed to retain the Philippines and is not ecmpelled to pay indemnity. The attitude of the people makes the chances of Don Carlos small. Morecver, the Carlists are said to disagree about the advisability of rising, the Marquis de Cerralbo and other lers opposing the step. Nevertheless, it is feared that Den Carlos will insist upon it.” The Madrid correspondent of the Dally Telegraph, says: “However unpalatable the terms of peace may be, they will not provoke the slightest disturbance in Stain, where listless ind:f- ference is predominant.” — ~ Prospect of an Armistice. MADRID, July 20.—Referring to the pros- pects of peace, the correspondencia, an in- dependent semi-official newspaper, says to- di While the government has aSked for without stipulating a preliminary nsion of hostilities, it is supposed that armistice will be declared as soon as the bi is agreed upon, and pending a definite settlement. None of these bases h: yet been submittcd, but among the conditions mentioned is one relative to an international ecnference in London to ar- nge the future of the Philippine Islands. We do not believe the Americans will pro- pose such a conference, because they have no interest in doing so and could not de- rive any benefit therefrom. Neither is the government favorable to such a erence, considering that the negotia- tions which it has opered directly with the United States are better calculated to se- cure a good understanding between the twe countries.” ¥ susp Spain Hesitated. - —A special dispatch : “The government does not conceal that it hesitated for some da: to go beyend an unofficial exploration at the diplomatic agents to make the soundings gave conflicting accounts of President McKin- ley ition.

LONDON, July 29.—The Berlin corre- spondent of the Times says: “The terms which America imposes occa- sion surprise here, as much too hard. The ‘ational Gazette remarks that the United States has not won a victory signal enough to warrant such hard terms, and expresses the opinion that the prospects of peace are, in consequence, gloomy.” The Times, commenting editorially upon the suggestion of the National Gazette, say “This suggestion from would-be friends of Spain merely shows that these critics en- tirely fail to grasp the military significance of America’s sea power.

Announcement of a New Serial Soon . te Be Begun. Mr. Robert W. Chambers’ thrilling story, “Ashes ‘of Empire,” which has held the interest of so many thousands of The Star's readers for the past three months, wiil reach a conclusion in tomorrow’s big |. paper. It will be followed a week later by the publication of the first chapter of a new and important serial story from the pen of Louls Tracy, entitled “The Lost Provinces.” Mr. Tracy is well known as a brilliant young writer, who has achieved the diffi- cult task of blazing out a new and untrod- den path in the well-explored domain of story writing. Instead of historical fiction, he has devoted himself to fictitious history, and his success in this original line has made him one of the most popular authors of the day, both in America and in Eng- land. The Star tomorrow will contain another of Cutliffe Hyne’s clever stories of the sea, “Mr. ‘Gedge’s Catspaw.” It Is a capital piece of fiction, with an honest old sea captain for its hero, and a rascally ship owner, who has planned to destroy the ves- sel at sea and collect insurance on her. The working out of the plot is told with the dramatic skill and power which have made Mr. Hyne so popular with lovers of good fiction. The Saturday Star this week will contain a large number of valuable and timely ar- ticles that are bound to be of interest both to stay-at-homes and those who are away on their vacations and find The Star a welcome visitor to their summer homes. Following are a few of them: HISTORIC HOUSES (illustrated). Some of the old-time homes of Washing- ton that have been made famous by the famous men who have dwelt in them. A WILD RIDE (Illustrated).

Hardy and Robert Carter, col- ored, we today sent to the workhouse for six months in cefault of a fine of $40 each for pulling a fire alarm box last nigat When there was no occasion for it. The evidence showed that the accused have on several occasions sent in a false alarm, and at the suggestion of Prosecutor Pugh the ccurt imposed the highest penalty, as above stated. Speaking of the case to ‘a Star reporter today, Chief Parris of the fire department said he very much regretted a more se- Vere punishment could not have been in- flicted. The maximum penalty is a fine of $40, but he thinks that is too light. “If I had my way,” said the chief, “I would send a man Who purposely pulls a false alarm to the penitentiary. Few peo- ple realize what it is to respond to an alarm. In the first place, it costs the Dis- trict from $25 to $30 every time the depart- ment responds to one, even if there is no fire. But that is not all, for very often some accident occurs to the apparatus which amounts to that much in itself. In fact, I have known accidents to occur where the damage amounted to nearly $100. “Then, again, the men take their lives in their hands every time they respond to an alarm, for there is no telling when a horse may fall or an axle break, throwing an en- gine, hose carriage or truck over in such a Way as to crush the life out of a man. Such a thing has happened here more than once. So, you see, it is not only a costly, but also a dangerous matter to turn out in response to a call, for the men never know, or very seldom do, whether there is a fire or not, and the horses are driven as fast to the box pulled as they can safely run. “Of course, there are cases now and then when a man turns in an alarm when there is no occasion for it, although in the ex- eltement of the moment he may believe there is; but where a man or boy turns in an alarm simply out of curiosity or because of pure cussedness, as seems to have been the fact in this case, he ought, in my opin- ion, to be much more severely punished than these men were. Officer McDonald, who arrested the men, deserves great credit for his work.” ee Larceny of a Rifle. Henry P. Stratton, an electrical worker, was this afternoon fined $20 by Judge Scott with the alternative of sixty days in jail, for the larceny of a rifle, valued at $10, from Mr, Chapin W. Brown. The facts brought out were that about June 1 Strat- ton sold the gun to Mr. Brown, and a day or two later took the weapon away, as he sald, to clean it, but not with the consent or at the request of Mr. Brown. Meanwhile Stratton secured a contract for the placing of an electric fan in a banking office, whereupon he sold the rifle to Mr. Edward C. Graves for $10, with whieh he bought the fan. Stratton admitted the truth of what the witnesses said, but claimed that he intend- ed to return a better rifle to Mr. Brown than the one he took away. ——— Passed a Bogus Check.

ORPOSIION Advises Populists to Keep in Mid- dle of the Road. DEMOCRATIC PROGRAM Special Ccrrespondence of The Evening Star. RALEIGH, N. C., July 29, 1898. ‘The three parties—republican, democratic end populist—have held their conventions, and the political outlook is now pretty ciear. There will be fusion of republicans and populists, as there was in 1896, and as there was again in the legislature in 1897 in the re-election of Senator Pritchard. This is agreed on between all the republicans and enough populists to make it operative. Senator Butler opposed fusion in the elec- tion of Senator Pritchard. He controlled ‘a majority of the populists, but twenty- two refused to obey him, and it is known that had more populist votes been neces- sary to elect Senator Pritchard they would have been forthcoming. Senator Pritchard has not been to Ral- eigh in several months. His supportors here say there is no sort of doubt of fusion with populists being effected on the basis of a division of offices. Otho Wilson, a populist who is inimical to Senator Butler, says* any onc not un idiot knows that long before the populists who follow Senator Butler's lead made their proposition to the democrats last May for co-operation on the basis of division of offices and a vote for free silver candidates the republicans and populists had agreed on fusion. The proposition referred to was unant- mously declined by -the democrats. To have accepted it would have meant the disruption of their party, as the most pow- erful democrats would not submit to it. They were well advised that had they ac- cepted it Senator Butler could not have made the delivery of all the populist voto, great as is his power with his party. Mem- bers of the populist state committee who are anti-Butler, or, as they are termed, “minority populists,” have said. and yet say, openly that Senator Butler could not bind them, and that they were and are de- termired to affiliate with the republicans, whom they term their natural allies. Nearly all the populist office holders share the view of these committeemen. Senator Butler was here this week. He said in an_ intervie that “all arrange- ments for fusion with the republicans are things of the past.” So far as this matter is concerned, it all depends upon the pro- portion of the populist vote which Senator Butler actually controls. Senator Butler's Advice. In the paper which he publishes here Senator Butler yesterday made the follow- ing editorial declaration: “The Caucasian has received a large number of letters from every quarter of the state asking what is the best course for the people's party to pursue in thts campaign, since the gold bugs and railroad attorneys captured the democratic state convention and refused our fair prdp: tion for a co-operation against gold and monopoly, as advised by B: all of these questions the Caucasian unhesitat- ingly answers, the best-ccurse for the peo- ple’s party (which is the only party in the state that is honestly for siiver and against monopoly domination of the legislatures) is to make a straight fight against both of the old monopcly-ridden parties, ich have proven that they. are now no better than they were in 1892, Democrats to Make Hot Fight. The democratic campaign ‘opens all over the state August 3. That’ party will make the chief issue “white supremacy;” In other words, will draw the color line more tightly than at any time since the notable cam- paign of 1876, which resulted in the election of Vance as governor. Ex-United States Senator Thomas J. Jarvis says: ‘This question of government by the white man is for eastern North Carolina a question of civilization.” The democrats will form white clubs and will bring powerful social agencies to bear. It is clear now that the campaign is to be bitter and personal. The chief end and aim of the democrats will be to secure a majority in the legislature. As the governor has no veto power in North Carolina, control of the legislature means control of the state. The republicans and populists, locally speaken of as the “fusionists,” ‘will not only try to retain their large majority in the legislature, but also to elect county offi- cers, judges, solicitors and representatives in Congress. The republicans say they have the negro vote solid. That vote con- stitutes 80 per cent of their party. Not over 2% per cent of it has ever failed to vote the republican ticket. They say they will defeat the democrats even worse than they did two years ago. Their state chair- man, A. E. Hatton, is confident of this. Populists who are doing any talking make the same assertion. The republicans will tell the negro voters that if the democrats get in control again they will take steps to secure the adoption of a constitutional amendment disfranchising the negro by im- posing an educational qualification for voters. Several years ago the democrats could have passed in the legislature a bill providing for the submission to the people of such a constitutional amendment. There are not a few people who now regret it was not done. The feeling among democrats is against the negro as a voter and office- holder and it is certainly high and increas- ing yearly. If strong among the older voters, it is yet more powerful among the younger ones. A republican of prominence sald recently that the passage of an elec- tion law like those in Louisiana and Missis- sippi is merely a question of time, so far as North Carolina is concerned. The Several Districts. Many of the congressional nominations have been made. In the first district republicans and popu- lists will renominate Harry Skinner. This was promised last year. The democrats have not as yet made a nomination. In the second district the renomination of George H. White, colored, by the repub- licans is assured. The populists will nomi- nate a man of their own party, but merely for form's sake and to quiet those populists who cannot get the consent of their minds to vote for a negro. The democrats have so far made no nomination. In the third district the democrats have nominated Charles R. Thomas, and the populists have renominated John E, Fowl- er. It kas been said that the republicans, whcse dislike for Fowler is open and in- terse, will put up a manof their own. Oscar J. Spears, who has been talked of as their possible candidaté, says: “You can say for me that’! will not be a candidate; that our patty will not support Fewler, and that we will nominate a re- publican.” * This means that Fowler may be quickly taken down, as it is essential to the suc- cess of all populist nominegs that they be satisfactury to the republicans. Senator Butler is devoted to Fowler, and will do his best to save him. 4 In the fourth district none of the parties has as yet made a nominaticn. Senator Butler in his newspaper today makes ‘an editorial appeal for the renomination of and support for Representative W. F. Stroud. The latter is, however, quite un- certain as to his renomination. Republi- cans are adverse to him. In some way it sa be arranged that they will support im, In the fifth district Spencer B. Adams, now a judge, is almost certain to get the republican nomination, In fact, he ad- mits to your correspondent he’ will not reject it. Ex-Representative Thomas Set- tle wants it, and attempted to ereate’the impressicn that Adams did not. He will not get the nomination. The democrats have renominated Wy W..Kitchin, In the sixth district the republicans have nominated Oliver H. Dockery, who two years ago was defeated by Daniel L. Rus- seli for the nomination ‘for governor.. The Populists have in convention indorsed ery, whom they claim as a ‘“‘free-sil- ver didate.” _R. M. Norment announces liméelf as an independent candidate. He is a republican and a devoted friend of tremely lolincal tone cee etn at ely inimical to the Dockery ol the party. But Norment will in all proba- = ‘ ~ eeresy guerentes HS ‘bility never be voted for. democrats have nominated John D. Bell: ‘ In the seventh district the populists have nominated Morrison H. Caldwell, and he assures me the tepublicans will formally indcrse Lim Avgust 18. The democratic nominee is Theodore F. Kluttz. Repub- licans ip this district procured the defeat of Representative Shuford for renomina- ticn. They are very much oppcsed to him. Sensational Conditions. In the eighth district there is a decidedly setratioral condition of affairs. The re- publican convention was announced as having renominated Representative R. Z. Linney, but there was a very large bolt frem the convention and the bolters have celled a convention for August 24, at which it is understcod they will nominate Alex. Bailey. It is asserted that only eight of the twenty-four votes of the committee were cast for Linney. The democrats count on victory in this district. They have not yet made a nomination. In the ninth district the demccrats have nominated ex-Representative W. 'T. Craw- ford. The republicans will in all proba- bility renominate Richmond Pearson, and the populist support will no doubt be given the latter, despite the fact that populist feeling against him has been Ligh. The republican and populist state com- mittees have been vested with plenary power to make any desired changes of candidates, so as to suit both parties, as, Save perhaps in the second congressional district, no republican can be elected with- out populist support, nor can any populist be elected unless he gets republican aid. The democratic state chairman, ex-Rep- resentative F. M. Simmons, says his party is in better shape than since 1891, and that he expects a sweeping victory. ——— CONGRESS TO LOSE HIM. Representative Sayers to Be Gov- ernor of Texas. “You are going to miss that rugged old Texan, Joe Sayers, from the next Con- gress,” said Mr. Charles A. Edwards of Texas to a Star reporter today. “He has not been in Congress such a powerful long lire, but long enough, as all you Wash- ingtonians know, to imprint his personality upon the appropriation bills for the last few fleeting years. “He is going to be governor of Texas. He has made the most remarkable cam- paign that any candidate for office ever put up, in my experience, and my recollec- tion can hark back over the political trail for many moors. Since he announced his candidacy for the nomination he nas not made a speech, wes not inside the state vntil after Congress adjourned, and peor- sonally did nothing to keep the ball rolling. Yet his campaign has progressed so that he has caused three prominent gentlemen to withdraw from the race and ihe cards are now arranged to deal him out a nomi- pation by acclamation on the first hand when the state convention meets August 2. “The idea of that man staying up here in Washington and having the persimmen fali into his hands while several agile gen- tiemen were reaching for it with the long- est poles in Texas seems kind of queer to the orthodox politician. I reckon there ain't a case like it on record. The way it came about, as I figure it out is this: Here he was, attending to his business and keep- ing an eye on Uncle Sam’s treasure chest, nearly having a peroxysm every time the appropriations committee cougned up a million. “As the case stcod it was up to his friends to do the work. Consequently every Sayers man in the state organized himself into a committee of one and went out hustled. They went through the state like a fine-tooth comb through a yaller kid's hair, and got everything in sight and out of sight. It was soon apparent that the other candidates had no more chance than a toothless dog at a fighting match, and the old man cantered in on the home stretch without turning a hair.’* + e+ Personal Mention.

Graham particularly desires a second par- ade for his command, in order that it may be made manifest that the weeks spent in drill and the routine of camp duty had not been wasted. Unless all signs fail, there will be the greatest possible contrast be- tween the ceremony of August 6 and the presidential review of June 30. Since the latter event all the regiments in camp have not only been thoroughly equipped, but have become well drilled and well disci- plined. The difference between the two parades will, accordingly, be almost the same as that between a procession of raw recruits without uniforms and the review of regulars. Sick Roll Increases. Yesterday's apparent lull in the discovery of new cases of typhoid fever is almost off- set by the record for today. Fifteen men have been entered on the hospital books, either as manifesting well-developed symp- toms of typhoid or as suspected cases. There have been, in addition, two deaths at Fort Myer. Those who have died from ty phoid are Corporal Brayton Flint, Company C, 22d Kansas, and Private Stanley B. Swartz, Company E, 8th Pennsylvania. Both died yesterday evening. Corporal Fiint’s friends in Company C have arranged to send his body to his home, which is in Stockton, Kan. No arrangements have yet been made for the funeral of Private Swartz, The names of the men entered as typhoid fever suspects are: Privates P. P. Meridath and C. W. Hester, Company G, 12th Penn- yivania; T. A. Burke, Company A, 12th Pennsylvania; G. C. Lacey, Company B, 6th Pennsylvania; H. Nicholas and T. Mc- Mahon, Company F, 3d Missouri; J. R. Ress, Company F, ist Rhode Island; J. W. Lawless and N. Vigue, Company 'B, 1st Rhode Island; A. Northcross, Company E, 2d Tennessee; C. Oponauberger, Company Edward Denton, Company ; E. J. Baney, Company H, 12th Pennsylvania, and Corporal Charies Alger, Company F, 4th Missouri. Rheumatiam, Also. In addition to this list of cases of typhoid a number of cases of rheumatism have been reported. Those afflicted are Privates George Davis, Company A, and John Hill, Company E, 13th Pennsylvania; Henry Prentiss, Company F, 12th Pennsylvania Uharles Childress, Company L, 3d Virginia Robert J. Neere, Hospital Corps, and Hen- ry Ludwig, Company H, 65th New Yor James H. Mulligan, a private in Company I, Ist Connecticet, 1s reported as having contracted heart disease. Several surgeons who have visited the hcespital in Fort Myer report the patients there all holding their own. The surgeons are not without hope that the entire num ber now down with typhoid may be brought through without further loss. In some in- stances where the patient is particularly ill it has been decided to allow no visitors; but in the majority of cases the patients are progressing so nicely that such friends in Washington and eisewhere as desire will be permitted to see them a limited time each da Court-Martial Ordered. A new court-martial has been organized in the Ist Division and will convene next Monday. It will consist of the following officers: Colonel C. L. Burdett, Ist Connec- ticut, president; Lieutenant Colonel W. H. Chapin, 65th New York; Major W. C. King, 12th Pennsylvani Major John Hickey, Ist Connecticut; Captain W. R. Conrad, Sth Pennsylvania; Captain Orrin E. Runyon, 1st New Jersey; Captain S. M. Leonard, Ist Connecticut; Captain L. M. Gerber, 7th Ohio; Captain Frank Roblin, 18th Pennsylvania; First Lieutenant G. A. Hodsill, Ist Connecticut; First Lieutenant J. B. Webb, 65th New York; Second Lieu- tenant L. J. Doolittle, 4st Connecticut, and Second Lieutenant W. H. Black, Ist New Jersey; Captain C. H. Moore, 1st Connecti- cut, judge advocate. Most interesting among the cases to come before this new court is that of Pri- vate Gay of the 65th New York. His offer to plead guilty to two charges if the charge of robbing the mails should be withdrawn has not been accepted. Colonel Welch and Chaplain Fisher are anxious that one of the statements made fn this case should be corrected. It has been an- nounced that Gay was a clerk in the regi- mental post office, which, it seems, was not true. His pilfering was done while on brief visits to the chaplain’s tent. Gay will be tried Monday. Sentences have been rendered by the present court-martial of the Ist Division as follows: In the 3d Virginia—Private George Reis- bach, Company D, fifteen days at hard la- bor and $5 fine; Patrick Fitzgerald, Com- pany D, one month at ‘hard labor and $10 fine; C. S. Adams, a_ musician in Company B, $6 fine; Charles G. Smith, Company G, three months of imprisonment at hard la- bor and $10 fine for each month: W. R. Grenn, Company L, one month at hard labor and. $10 fine. In the 8th Pennsylvania—Private Michael A. Luly, Company K, confinement to his company street for fifteen days and $3 fine. All of the men named in the above list have been guilty either of absence with- out leave or some other infringement of discipline. Notes of the Camp.

The Immense Interests of England and Americr.

Mr. Kidd asserts that during the year 1896 this trade amoutted, in the case of England, approximately to £178,(W),000 ($890,000,000), and in the case of the United States to £70,000,000 ($350,000,000). He dwells upon the importance of the control over these regions, and say “The present war involves the future government of two of the richest portions of these territories and some of the richest on the earth's surface; yet, for the most rt, they are practically-undeveloped and gely in a state of anarchy or primitive savagery, preventing the development of their natural resources.” : Mr. Kidd thinks the question one of the highest importance to both England and America. 4 —— oe - Accounts Approved. c The accounts of the United States attor- ney for the criminal term just ended were. approved today by Justice Hagner in Crim- inal Court No. 1,
