Pingree went to South Africa largely for the purpose of putting into practical effect three gigantic schemes for the benefit of the people of Mfchigan. “First, the reclamation of the immense pine wastes in Michigan by planting trees. He went to tha Bavatian black forest to expand this idea and overworked so much that he hastened his death. “Secondl, the rotation of crops in Mich- igan. In pursuit of this scheme he went to Egynt, where such a system Is enforced by the government. “Third, the transportation of every patriot Boer and his family who desired to como to the United States. He quizzed British - offictals on this subject, gained their approval ot it and had an appoint- ment to consult with Kruger about it, which only prevented by the gov- ernor's ilines: “It was his iden to Interest some Michi- gan capitalists in the plan and provide lands for the Boers along the railroad sy: tems. He thought that these capitalls could cecure very low transportation rates from the seaboard to the farms and he pro- posed to get the British government in some roundabout way to provide ships for the Boers' transportation from Africa to this country. A number of English office now in South Africa and some eminent public men;in England took this plan serl- | ously and thought wall of 1t provided it could be carried out without the British government's ald in the matter becoming known.

Adams Won't Know Until Fall Whether He Gets Another Chance for Life. BUFFALO, N. Y., June 19.—The fate of Roland B. Molineux, convicted of murder as the polsoner of Mrs, Katherine J. Ad- ams at New York in December, 1898, is in tho keeping of the seven judges of the court of appeals, who for three days past have been listening to the arguments for and agalnst a new trial. The appeal was finally submitted at 1:35 o'clock this aft- ernoon and the decision will not be an- nounced until some months hence, when the court aits at Albany for the fall term. The strange crime, with its complicated plot and manifold mystery, retalns a strong hold upon popular interest. The crowd that sought admission to the court room this morning was larger and more deter- mined than ever and the bailiffs had to re- sort to force to restrain them. The prin- cipal speaker was former United States Senator David B. Hill, advocate of the cause of the people, who had three hours and fifteen minutes of his allotted time left when court opened at 10 o'clock. He spoke until 1:15, and John G. Milburn, attorney for Molineux, was heard for twenty min- utse in conelse reply. Mr. Hill was again forceful and eloquent. He declared that the question of gullt was the main issue in the case and warned the court not to heed a plea that dealt in tech- nicality and urged objections to acts and rulings that had not substantially affected the rights of thesaccused. If the courts were to be thus swerved from the pathway of duty he suggested that murderers might organize a trust and all enjoy freedom. In a dissertation on the law. he led the court down a long line of authorities and deci- slons, all aimed at sustaining the use of the | Barnett evidence and the policy of the lower court toward the exhibits of handwriting at the trial. In this admirably told story he made frequent reference to the famous Tichborne case in England, tracing a simi- larity of admission of certain writings to prove perjury on the part of the luckless claimant and in the policy of objection and obstruction on the part of the defen Insists Case is Provea. In finally summing up, Mr. Hill reviewed the polnts made by him yesterday and step by step traced out the main features of the theory of the people. He insisted that it had been proved by overwhelming evidence that Molineux had written the letters and the address on the polson package and that his gullt was clearly established. He sald it was not material who bought the bottle- holder, and drew attention to the fact that Seeler, Molineux's friend and assistant, had never set foot in New York after the arr Mr. Hill also dwelt upon the fact that Moll- neux was a chemist! and decribed his lab- oratory and the poleons which it contained. ‘Where was the man,” he exclaimed, ‘'who had the opportunity that he had to polson his enemles Mr. Hill pictured Molineux as a sufferer from a malady which made him melancholy, reviewed the trouble at the Knickerbocker Athletic club and pic- tured Molineux plotting for revenge. He insisted that every circumstance in the case linked Molineux to the orime, includ- ing the fact that he had hired & lawyer and engaged & handwriting ‘expert before: su piclon against him had shaped itself. ‘‘The defense,” said he, ‘ent through the trial casting right and left without reason or . , merely seeking to avert it from their client.” Mr. Hill discussed at length the law as to comparison of writing in criminal cases and contended that the people had only two or three sights at the trf He ridi- culed the claim that there had been any- thing involuntary in the prisoner's testl- mony at the Inquest. Recorder Goff, Mr. HIIl sald, had treated both the defense and prosecution fairly, threatening both Weeks and Osborn with contempt. In closing Mr. Hill pleaded that the case was one of importance to the state, that the defendant had been fairly tried, that no eubstantial error had been com- mitted and that no materfal fact had been excluded. Three Points of Weakness. Mr. Milburn's reply was largely devoted to an answer to personal criticism and par- ticularly to Mr. Hill's allusion to the fact that throughout all his speech he had not once expri his pe nal conviction of the innocence of the man for whom he pleaded. The strongest feature of the re- ply was the introduction of three points ot weakness in the case of the people. He drew attention to the fact that the claim that Honry C. Barnett had received poison d solely upon the hea: testimony of Dr. Douglas; also that Molineux had not bought the bottleholder and had not been identified as the man who hired the Koch letter box, without which it was impos ble, Mr. Milburn sald, to fix gullt upon him. A conspicuous figure during the argument was General Molineux, the aged father of the prisoner, whose face told of the strain that the always spirited and at times bit- ter review of the case had been to him. There was no comment at the close and as attorneys and spectators left thelr chairs Chief Justice Parker called the next case. Both Mr. Hill and Mr. Milburn were proffered enthustastic congratulations for their noble effort MORRISON DEFENSE IS NEXT State R After Closing Tesatimony with Recital of the Killing of Mrs. le. ELDORADO, Kan., June 19.—After only two days of testimony-taking the state in the case of Jessie Morrison, on trial for the murder of Mrs. Olin Castle, rested this aft- ernoon. The defonse, it is said, will spring a sur- prise in the introduction of new. evidence not adduced at the first trial. When Miss Morrison took the stand in December last to tell in her own defense of the fatal quat- rel' with her rival, she testified that Mrs. Castle had called her to the house and started the trouble. At that time an afda- vit of A. J. Morgan, a peddier, who swore that he heard Mrs. Castle rap on the door Miss Morrison was passing her house and call her in, was presented. Morgan could not be found, but it is now sald the defenss has located him and will put him on the stand. Other new witn may bs Introduced by the defense on the plea of selt-evidence. The evidence today consisted of the deathbed statement of Mrs. Castle, In which she accuses Miss Morrison of calling upon ber unbidden, begiuning a quarrel and then bing her with & razor, and the intro- duction of witnesses who described the scene at the Castle house on the morning of the fight. The state today began its presentation to the jury of evidence bearing directly on the killing of Mrs. Castle. The recitation of the death struggle In tle home on the morning of June . & year ago, between the two women caused the crowd of spectators in the court room to look on in breathless silence. It also had its effect on the prisoner. First ihe dying declaration of Mrs. Castle, which stated that Jessie Morrison had called at the Castle house, opened a quarrel over a letter from Mr. Castle, And then attacked her with a razor While Attorney Leydig, for the state. read the statement slowly and impres dlvely the members of the jury did not take thelr eyes from his face. Miss Mor rison's breast heaved and she gulped con tinually. She held her fingers to her lips and rarely moved Mrs. Emma R Spangler, the first person on the scene of the tragedy, told of hearing screams in the Castle house and, on running to the scene, of seelng Mrs, Castle, bleeding from wounds on her throat and breast and her clothing torn, lylng on the floor, while Jossie Morrison stood over her. Mrs. Spangler testified to hearing these words: “Get off of me, Jessie Morrison, you are killing me.” Later, and before en- tering the house, she looked through the window. “I saw two women,” she testified “One woman was lying on the floor and the other was bending over her. The one bend- ing over was Jessle Morrison. Miss Morri- son had her hands out over the one on the floor. She moved her hands quickly and then crawled around to the feet of Mrs. Castle and sat there. Mra. Castle raised part way up and motioned toward the door. I saw the blood over her clothing. It was saturated.” Mrs. Spangler went on to tell how she at« tracted the attention of another neighbor, Mrs. Moberly, and they both entered the house, and of taking Miss Morrison fro the scene. Mrs. Spangler continued: * sald, ‘Woman, what have you done? She ald she had killed Mrs. Castle and would kill me. ‘I cut her all to pieces with a razor,’ she said." Mrs. Moberly and half a dozen other wit- nesses who followed corroborated the testi- mony of Mrs. Spangler. .Only testimony pertaining to the actusl killing was permit- | ted by the court. T. A. Kramer, making the statement on behalt of Miss Morrison this afternoon, said that it would be shown that she killed Mre. C in self-defense and that the latter never gave up hope of 1ife and that therefore ti dying declaration is not valid. MAY GO TO THE JURY TODAY Defense in the Abont A ker Trial Has Said There s to Say. NEW YORK, June 19.—The fate of Thomas G. Barker, on trial at Jersey City, N. J., for the shooting of Rev. John Keller, may g0 to the jury tomorrow. The de- fense had practically finlshed when the court rose this evening. It s not thought Prosecutor Erwin will take long in rebut- tal. Barker and his wife were upon the stand today. Barker was called to the wit- ness stand on the opening of court to com- pleto his testimony and in reply to ques- tions of his counsel he began to describe his movements on February 3, the morning of the shooting. He sald he left home to buy a newspaper. As he neared the corner of Beach street and Midland avenue he wald he met Mr. Keller on Beach street, about forty feet from the corner. Keller stopped and sald, “Good morning, Mr. Barker." Here the witness straightened up in his chair and continued: “I replied to Keller and said: ‘You d—d villain, you outraged my wite,' and I then—" “I object, I object, stop, stop,” shouted County Prosecutor Erwin. The court ruled not to allow further tes- timony on this point and then Barker started to tell what happened after the shooting. He said he jumped on a car and went to the town hall at Kearney, where he surrendered nimself. Barker stuted thal be went alone to the town hall, which was in contradiction of testimony for the state that ‘he was ac- companied by a Mr," Buckley, a neighbor. The witness started to tell what a sleep- less night he had spent before the shooting and about’ his nervous and excited condi- tion. He was promptly stopped by the prosecutor and the objection was sustained. Barker's testimony showed the passing of words with Keller before the shooting and contradicts the statements of the latter yesterday when on the witness stand. Bar- ker continued his testimony under examina- tion by his counsel and contrived to make several allusions to the wrong which Keller is alleged to have committed. In several instances objections by the prosecuting at- torney were sustained. Witness detailed a quarrel he had with Keller because the lat- ter had borrowed 383 from Mrs. Barker in April, 1899, the last of which was paid in March, 1900. Previous to that incident the relations of Keller with witness .and his wife had been very f-icudly; they frequently bleycled together &ud witness presented Keller with a bicycle. Witness said he did not know until January that his wife had left Mr. Keller's church. Barker then described what took place at the house where Mr. Keller was lying when tho witness was taken there from Kearney. He sald taht he asked Keller in a low volce if he knew him. Mr. Keller was unable to recognize him. Barker went over agaln the story of his meeting with Keller on the morning of the shooting. He saw Keller coming up Beech street. “I waited for him,” said Barker, “because I wanted to speak to him. He was coming toward me."” Barkes sald he knew the time Keller usually went to church SBunday mornings, but he bad no intention of meeting him when he left his house that morning. The revolver-which he bought a month before was in his overcoat pocket. He fired four shots at Keller, standing in front of him all the time. He did not shoot while Keller was lying on the ground. The second and third shots were fired while Keller turning arourd and saying, ““Don't, don't.’ Until he saw the blood flowing from the d, Barker sald he condition; then he in a semi-dazed realized what he had done and gave him- was self up. He had felt justified in what he had done, but he said, I regret the whole thing and its ker sald his wite d1d not know he had the revolver An employe of the Commercial Cable company in the same department with B ker testified that for some time prior to the shooting of Keller, Barker had ap peared abstracted and several times this witness had to find fault with Barker for errors o his work Mrs. Mary Barker, wife of the defend- ant, was called to the stand. She sald she had been married to Barker for four- teen years and had known Keller about ten years. She sald Keller was in the habit of visiting their home four or five times a week and during these times he was friendly with them. She sald she remem- bered April 9, 1899, and an occurrence at her home on that day in which Mr. Keller was concerned. Before Mrs. Barker could say anything further the county prosccutor stopped her. and objected to her giving turther testimony In reference as to what occurred at this time, on the ground that it _was Irrelevant. This was the date on which it is alleged by Mrs. Barker that Mr. Keller assaulted her at her home. Continuing, Mrs. Barker said that at differ- cnt times she had loaned money to Mr. Keller in sums of from $10 to §20 without her husband knowing it. She sald she had loaned him in all about 353. Mrs. Bar- ker was questioned s o her connection with the Trinity mission, of which Mr. Keller was secretary “Why did you sever your comnection with the mission?" “Because Mr. Keller outraged me," wi the answer. without hesitancy. The pros cutor objected vigorously, but Judge Blair let question and answer stand After that Mr. Van Winkle asked many questions as to the Jetalls of. the oceur- rence referred to, but the court would ot permit the witness (0 answer.

When the doors were finally opened the pressure of the surging mob was so great that many people fainted. There was consid- erable disturbance and windows were | broken In during the attempts made by | persons without tickets to gain admis- sfon. Some of these were oxpelled. In spite of the vigilance of the promoters of the mecting, many jingoes gained an én- trance to the hall, which was crammed trom floor to cefling, Much hooting, min- gled with cheers, greeted the delegates on their arrival, and during the evening the delivery of speeches was attended by | some difficulty | Henry Labouchere presided at the meet- ing and besides J.

Several men mounted the parapet of the Langham hotel and wave ing union jacks, proposed resolutions against the pro-Boer agitation, which they declared to have been carried when the meeting in Queen's hall terminated. The usual speeches were: made and the| usual resolutions were carried amid much | commotion and excitement. The resolu- | tions included an amendment for the com- } plete independence of the Boer republics, | proposed by Baron Battersea, for the rad- | fcals, which did not meet with the approv: of the Labouchere party. The meeting ended with the singing of “The Marseil- lalse. J. X. Merriman, former treasurer of Cape Colony and now a representative of the Afrikander bund in England, wrote a let- ter to the promoters of the meeting apolo- glzing for his absonce. Several collisions occurred between the crowd outside the hall and the police, and the Iatter had difficulty in handling the ds- semblage. No casualties were reported. The Daily Mail asserts that the promoters of the Queen's hall meeting secured the services of 200 or 800 “stalwarts” as root- ers. ““This gang of forelgn rufans were found inside the hall,” says the Dally Mall, “to Kkeep order and eject the malcontents. Tha stalwarts were drawn from the low class clubs in Soho. Many of them were armed with sticks, broomhandles and knugkle- | dusters, and they acted With unrestrained | violence in excluding royalists and throw- ing out undesirable person CONDEMN SITE FOR THE DAM Engineers of Canal Commission Dise cover Another One Which in Suitable, MANAGUA, Nicaragua, June 4.—(Corre- spondence of the Assoclated Press.)—The engineers of the Isthmian Canal commis- sion, after borings, have condemned two of the proposed sites for the dam across the San Juan river, in the event of an interoceanic canal being constructed, but have discovered another proper and con- venlent site.

These bilfs were introduced and passed in the senate last week and they now go to the governor for his actfon. The one constitut- ing the governor, secretary of state and a torney general a board to pass upon appli- cations for rapld transit franchises was at- tacked by several anti-administration re- publicans and democrats. In the course of a speech Mr. Coray of Luzerne, a repub- lican leader of what is known as the “in- surgent element, sald: “'TWo Weeks ago the office of secretary of the commonwealth presented a scene which will go down in history. There were a lot of hungry parasites and a lot of million- alres present in obedience to the orders they had recelved to rald the treasury. They carried away valuable franchises and now It 18 proposed to prevent others from getting similar favors by placing the power to grant them In the hands of a board." Mr. Coray sald the people were opposed to the rapidity with which these bills were passed by the legislature. *“The time will | come,” he concluded, “when the people will 8waep your infernal machine off the face ot the earth.” Mr. Hall, a_republican of Allegheny, sald this legislation Is a very poor climax to what has already been enacted. Mr. Mayne, democrat, of Lehigh, charac terized the legislation as infamous and pro- tested agalnst its passage. He sald this législature had become a stench and by- word to the public and that its only chance :;“rodeem itself . was by defeating these 5. ’ Mr. McClan,. tepublican of Lane ald in defense of the measure that many applications were made for charters that were to be used for purely speculative pur- poses and this bill 1 to prevent such spec- ulation in charters. The bill passed by a vote of 105 to 85, re celving in its favor only two more than the requisite number of votes. The counting of & member not present as voting i challenged, but the speaker said the vote id not affect the result and no further ac- side. There are over 8,000 acres of cotton planted this year in Nicaragua. The plant- ers now estimate that they will be able to sell the product at 4% cents per pound, Nicaragua currency, or about 1% cents gold at the present rate of exchange. The planters are Inexperienced in regard to the cultivation of cotton and it is pointed ou: that they will find the all-the-year cultiva- tion and working of the plant to be in direct opposition to thelr usual agricultural custom of working during only one-fourth of each year. The laborers, it is added, will not submit to constant daily labor and they are not numerous enough to be re- lleved by relays.
