But there Is one good thing, it is level ground in these deserts and our machine can then speed thirty- five miles an hour. By riding ten hours a day we ought to get through the worst part in a few days. Of course, the mountain passes will be hard to climb. “Our machine only weighs 1250 pounds with both of us in it, and can be light- cned considerably by our getting out.

Mr. Davis says, ‘Yes, of course, we will; we will get there if it takes all summer,’ though he really expects to get through in forty-five days.

We have recelved some en- couraging letters, also, but one of the most comfort to us was from an old forty-niner who now lives in Brooklyn. He called to see us and wanted to g0 along and show us the trail he crossed fifty years ago, and was so anxious to accompany us. What a pity we had no seat for him, besides what could we do with an old man 80 years old? Wouldn't it be romantic, though, to ride with us in the new-fangled ma- chine, a poor old forty-niner who cross- ed In an ox team half a century ago. I am afrald I'm sentimental; it almost makes me cry to think how hard that old man pleaded to go with us. “Well, good-by. Tell The Call we are grateful for its encouragement, but ex- pect to thank its editors personally for the interest they have taken in our en- terprise.” Mr. Davis says that in coming down to New York from Stamford, Conn., the machine behaved beautifully and its performance exceeded his expectation, both as to power and facility of ma- nipulation. He says Eastern automo- bile factories have more orders than they can fill-are working day and night, and orders pile up faster than they can turn out carriages. Bonuses are being paid for carriages and intend- ing purchasers are using every means ;(:l hasten completion of their automo- es. The transcontinental touring cart was delayed in completion, owing to the fact that there was no pattern for a car- riage of this class. It was necessary to have a vehicle of such strength and build as to withstand all sorts of weather. GREAT INTEREST AROUSED IN WEST OMAHA, July 12.—The proposition of the Herald and the San Franciseéo Call to send an automobile across the con- tinent has provoked extraordinary in- terest through this section of the west. and not a little curiosity among many people in the interior of Nebraska. who never saw such a machine and have very vague ideas as to what it looks like. From the day the first announcement of the plan was made the daily papers of this section have been full of in- quiries from persons in various sec- tions of the State as to what route would be taken from Omaha west, the time of arrival of the automobile at the Missouri River, and the possible rate of speed the machine would travel in passing through the State, When the flier arrives at the Missouri River a very elaborate reception will! be tendered those aboard. cities of Omaha and Council Biuffs will unite to greet the visitors. The World- Herald has arranged for a brass band to meet them at Council Bluffs and es- cort them across the Missouri River, where an informal banquet will be served, provided their time will permit of anything of the kind. From Omaha it is supposed the machine will be driven over the famous overland trail and the most feasible route from the Missouri River to Denver. This means that the route will be practically with the Unfon Pacific Railroad all the way across the State and into Denver. That will carry the machine over one of the prettiest race courses in the world for a distance of over 300 miles, or until the sands of Western Nebraska and Eastern Colorado are encountered. Passing out of Omaha, the route will be over a slightly hilly but perfectly fine driving road for a distance of thirty miles. This will carry the auto- mobile out of the hills and upon the fine table land that stretches practically across the State. From Fremont, Neb., to North Platte, a distance of 200 miles, the road will be as level and firm as the packed black soil can make it. From the Colorado eastern line the automobile is liable to encounter some rough travel- ing, as compared to the Nebraska roads. If plenty of rain has fallen a few days prior to the trip the ground will be found well caked with sand. If no rain has fallen for several weeks about six inches of sand will close over the wheels of the machine the entire distance of 200 miles to Denver. This sand is white and full of grit and al- most as light as prairie dust. Across the State of Towa the machine ought to make excellent time. If any- thing, the roads in Jowa at this time of the year are better than in Nebraska, and that means an ideal condition for outdoor traveling. One hundred miles a day could easily be made across that State, if it is desired to drive the ma- chine to its full speed capacity. —— THE VAST DEMAND FOR AUTOMOBILES NEW YORK, July 12.—Isaac L. Rice, president of the Electric Vehicle Com- pany, said to-day that he has placed orders’ for automobiles amounting to $8,000,000. The orders are for 4200 new vehicles. Mr. Rice sald that the de- mand for automobiles is very great. The first of the carriages will be de- livered the latter part of this month. Mrs. Nusbaum’s Modest Claim.

WALLACE, Idaho, July 12.—During | the trial of the Corcoran case to-day Judge Stewart ordered a witness con- fined in jail on a diet of bread and water. L. G. Johnson, a Scandinavian, called by the prosecution. Johnson has | been confined in the “bull pen,” and was brought to Wallace to testify. As soon as he came into court it was seen he was very much excited. While be- ing sworn he attempted to address the Judge in unintelligible English. Attor- | ney Hawley undertook to interrogate | the witness, who did not answer. Faw- ley claimed the witness was able to un- derstand if he desired to. The court then took the witness in hand. but was unable to elicit anything satisfactory from him. “Mr. Sheriff. take this man to jail and confine him upon bread and water until such time as the court advises to bring him back here,” said the Judge. Johnson’s stolid countenance under- went not the slizhtest change, and he walked out accompanied by a deputy, indifferent to, if he understood. the or- | was | | CRONG RO 0% O % IR0 dcr. The witnesses called by the State are | evidently proving unsatisfactory, for | s attorneys have already attempted to impeach two of their own witnesses. Save in the testimony of Clark, re- ferred to yesterday, no attempt has| been made to connect Corcoran with | the crime with which he is charged. | The evidence has been directed toward proving the conspiracy, which the prosecution claims resulted in the death of Cheyne. | The witnesses to-day were all resi- dents of Wardner, and told how em- ployes of the Bunker Hill Company had been stopped on their way to work by union men on April 23. The in dents of the strike and the difficulties existing at that ‘*me between the com- pany and its employes were detailed, and it was shown that men had been threatened by armed strikers, who fol lowed them to their boarding house: and there used considerable violence. During the following week matters quieted down, and the non-union men were allowed to return to their work | s0 that on the day of the riot the com- pany had nearly a full force. Attorney Reddy severely criticised what he termed the unfair and out- rageous attitude of the attorneys for the State in withholding from the de- fense the testimony given before the Coroner’s Jury. The law requires the | Coroner to reduce to writing and file with, the County. Clerk the testimony This has not been done, and Attorney Forne ated that the inquest had not been concluded. Reddy denounced this statement as a mere subterfuge and said the Coro- ner's jury had not been in session for weeks and that the testimony was be- | ing withheld for the purpose of ham- pering the defense and of convicting | the defendant without a fair trial. support of his assertion he stated that In| the testimony was in the hands of the | attorneys for the State, who used whenever they desired to contradict witnesses, but that the defense had no access to it. The court refused to or- der the testimony filed, saying that it was a matter entirely with the Coro- ner. The story that masked men had vis- ited employes of the Standard Com- it | ~any and threatened them with death | if they dld not leave the country turns out to be a hoax concocted by a Mis- | sourian named Hudson, who success- fully imposed it upon a reporter. It was denied by both the State authori- ties and miners from the first, and the originator of it has now acknowledged | that it was not true. | SUICIDE FOLLOWS ATTEMPTED MURDER Nicolaus Ranch Employe. Wounds a Servant Girl and Kills Himself. MARYSVILLE, July 12.—At Nicolaus, twelve miles south of here, to-day Fred Griesler, employed on the ranch of G. Spinden,-made a desperate but ineffectual attempt to kill Maggie Breitback, a 17- year-old servant girl. Believing he had accomplished his purpose he committed sulclde by blowing the top of his head off with a shotgun he had used in his attack‘ on the young woman. Griesler, who was considered eccentric, worked on farms in the vicinity of Nicho- | laus for three years. This morning he frightened the girl away from the house by his peculiar actions, and as she fled across a fleld toward Nicholaus he fired four shots from the shotgun, two of the charges taking effect, one in her shoulder and one in serious, as shemanaged to kee tance from her pursuer. The Nicolaus officers hastened to the f Grltesler and found that he self. PARIS IS AFE IN FALMOUTH HARBOR FALMOUTH, July 12—Owing to the more favorable weather and the fact that such repairs as were necessary could be rapidly effected, the salvers changed their jans suddenly and started towing the aris with five tugs supported by three salvage boats for Falmouth.

CONCORD, N. H., July 12.—The hear- ing in connection with charges of the violation of the civil service against Sen- | ator Jacob H. Gallinger, preferred by | former Governor Charles A. Busie), was | continued to-day. Only two witnesses re- | sponded to the invitation of the commis- sloners to be present at to-day session. They were Postmasters Henry Robinson of Concord and H. A. Spaulding of Nash- ua. Their testimony was to the effect that campaign circulars asking for as- sessments for campalgn purposes had been sent out as alleged in the charges. Before any witnesses were. heard Sen- ator Gallinger asked permission to make a personal statement, in wuich he catled attention to alleged untruthful state- ments made in the editorials of a Con- cord paper and dispatches from Concord | to a New York paper. The statements referred to by Senator Gallinger were that the ng of a letter in Concord addressed to a man in Rye, N. H., containing a check for $100 and instructions to use the sum ‘‘circumspect- 1y among the indifferent voters of Rye. It was also_claimed that the cheek was signed by Senator Gallinger. This the Senator denied. The incident is not con- nected with this nearing and Senator Gallinger's statement was not made a part of the record. Following = this the witnesses _were called. Postmaster Robinson stated that he recelevd one of the assessment circu- lars. He produced the circular and gave it to the commissioners, who filed it This incident caused considerable away. surprise. : | Mr. Hobinson then said that he had mentioned the fact of receiving the cir- cular to Senator Chandler, and upon the | advice of that gentleman had sealed jt up and he had shown it to no one until this time. He was asked to contribute $100, and he wrote to the Civil Service isg king them as to his ability to_contr He was in- formed that he could not contribute. Cop- jes of the correspondence between M. Robinson and the commission were in- troduced as part of the evidence, and Mr. Robinson closed his testimony by stating that he did not contribute. Postmaster Spalding was chairman of the Republican State Committee in 1896. He stated that he received one of the circulars on which the charges in this case are based, but that he did not con- tribute. When chairman of the State Committee, he said that he personally signed the assessment circulars whic! were sent out, but none were sent to Federal office holders, except to Senators, Congressmen and Judges of the Federal courts. At the conclusion of Mr. Spald- ing’s testimony a recess was taken. fhe afternoon session brought out a warm colloquy_between Senators Gallin- ger and Chandler. Before the adjourn- ment_was taken they had passed the lie and Senator Chandler and Commissioner Brewer had become involved in a dispute which the Senator says will lead him to ask President McKinley for the removal of Mr. Brewer from the Civil Service Commission. No early witnesses were on hand when the afternoon session was called to_order, and by direction of Mr. Brewer Special Agent Wales read corre- spondence between the commission and ‘{'ll“am S. Thayer, treasuer of the Re- publican State Committee in 1898, whose name was signed to the assessment cir- cular. The commission, it ngeared, had asked Mr. Thayer whether Senator Gal- linger, as chairman of the State Commit- tee, had directed or requested the treas- urer to send out the assessment circular. Mr, Thayer said that neither Senator Gailinger nor the State Committee made any suggestions about the circular, but knew aBout its being sent to Federal of- ficers. The letter from Louis V. Hoye, secretary of the Republican State Com- mittee, contained a statement of Mr. Thayer and a letter from Senator Gallin- ger in reply to the same statement that the matter of asgessing was never dis- cussed and only acted upon by the com- mittee. The Senator’'s letter informed the com- mission that the charges against him were concocted by evil-minded, malicious persons and that the complaints were not made in good faith, but for the purpose of revenge, and were not worthy the at- tention which the commission seemed to be giving them. A further letter from Senator Gallinger stated that he person- ally “did not at any time discuss with Mr. Thayer or suggest to him the names of those to whom the assessment circu- lars should be sent.’ After an exchange of opinion as to the opening and closing of the case and the admissfon of evidence after the close of the hearing, arguments and brief, Senator Chandler remarked: “‘The commission seems to have found out everything con- nected with this investigation except who wrote the assessment penned to the office- holders, who flxed the sums to be as- sessed. who directed the inventories and who sent them out. The essential things have not been ascertained. It is for the commission to do this and find these men—" Here he was isterrupted by Mr. Brewer. “I object to these things being taken down.” Senator Chandler—Very well; T will say it without having it taken down. Mr. Brewer—Not in this room. This is my room, and I pay for it. gens(or Chandler—I am not to be muz- zled in this room. I have my rights. Mr. Brewer—You have no rights except those of a gentieman. After a further colloquy, in which, by implication, each said the other was not a gentleman, Senator Chandier proceeded to say that the man moest wanted in con- Curious Custom.

Senator Gallinger and his counsel, Attora ney General Eastman, at once shout “That is absolutely false: it is not true. Mr. Eastman continued calling Chand- ler a liar, and said: “I do not care if you are a United States Senator.” Senator Chandler retorted: “And I do not care if vou are Attorney General. You are defending criminals when you should be prosecuting them.” Senator Gallinger appealed to the chair. Senator Chandler said: “Men who call other men liars do not need protection. I repeat, 1 believe Senator Gallinger has kept Mr. Thayer away.” enator Galllnger shouted: “You don't dare to come outside ttis room and say “I will go outside and say it,” rep'ied Mr. Chandler, starting for the door. Friends restrained both men, and after a few minutes of confusion the hearing went on.
