He was tried by a council of min- isters and elders of the church, sitting at Grinnell to-day, on a charge of “conduct | unbecoming a Christian and a gentle- man.” Thirteea churches were represent- ed. Evidence was introduced to show cruel treatment of his ‘“unusually loyal 2nd devoted wife,” which finally resulted in divorce proceedings and a legal sep- aration. A lengthy letter from Dr. Her- ron was presented in his defense.

Dr. Herron's book, published 1892, was dedicated to his wife in these words: “To my wife, who has been my most loving counsel.” The Rev. Mr. Vittum said the trial must be an exoneration of Mrs. Herron. She was innocent and persecuted all the way through. His church, he said, was read: 10 expel Herron without any more evi- dence, but evidence must be heard for his wife's sake. Dr. Herron sent a lengthy letter from New York. His only reference to his former wife is as the mother of his chil- dren, and he says that he does not lay any blame uvon her. After Dr. Herron's letter had been read a vote was ordered and a resolution of expuls was adopted.

When that happens she will have to turn to the United States for help. “I feel certain it will not be refused. The United States will step in and say “Don’t.’ They will act just as Great Brit- ain did in the Spanish-American war. ‘What she did then was great and it is not- half realized yet.” ‘When Carnegie gave utterance to these sentiments he was 1n the Langham Hotei, London, where he arrived from Scotland for the Chamber of Commerce gatherings. Until to-night he had steadfastly refused to be interviewed. Resuming the topic of Anglo-American relations, he said: “I believe In the community of the Eng- lish-speaking races, by which I mean that the Americans and the British are now closer than ever before.

It was a fitting com- mencement of the new reign. I know how deeply interested King Edward is in the United States. I have known this since the time, years ago, when I drove him on a locomotive in the United States, which, by the way, he did not forget when we met under different conditions. ““The idea that the visit of our delegates to Windsor can be ia any way construed as King Edward’s recognition of Ameri- can commercial superiority is all non- sense.

FRESNO, June 4.— Fresno under the new charter was held to-day, and resulted in a victory for the Democrats. The vote was light, not more than half of the registered men going to the polls. L. O. Stephens, the Democratic candi- date for Mayor, defeated his Republican opponent, Chester H. Rowell, by at least 400 votes. The Democrats also elected J. B. Johnson City Clerk, while the Repub- licans were successful in_electing David Cosgrove Police Judge. M. Boles, W. W. Eden, J. B. Meyers, 8. F. Cowen, J. P.

BOSTON, June 4—The trlal of the $150,000 libel sult of Mrs. Josephine C. ‘Woodbury against Mrs. Mary 3aker Eddy was resumed to-day with Sentimus J. Hanna, reader of the First Church of Christ Sclentists, Boston, editor of the Christlan Science Journal, and a ciose friend of Mrs. Eddy, on the witness- stand. Judge Hanna was asked if he had in his possession the original of the mes- sage sent by Mrs. Eddy to the Christian Sdience Journal in May, 1897. The witness replied that he had a copy of the Journal containing the message, and this was of- fered as evidence by the counsel for Mrs. ‘Woodbury, who sald that Mrs. Eadv's reference to Mrs. Woodbury as a person unfriendly to Christian Sclence showed malice. The Journal was admitted, sub- ject to exception, simply on the question, ot malice. > Mrs. Woodhurfi the plaintiff, followed Judge Hanna. Mrs. Woodbury sald she met Mrs. Eddy in 1879 in Boston. At that time she had never heard of Christien Science. Subsequently she became a be- liever in = Mrs. dy, studied Christian Science with her and was admitted to the Christlan Association, receiving a certi- ficate or degree from the college where Christian Science was taught, signed by Mrs. Eddy as a doctor of Christian Science. This certificate was offered in evidence. At Mrs. Eddy's request the witness made application to her in 18% for admis- sion to the First Church of Carist and was then directed to send her application direct to the church. In closing the let- ter conveving the direction Mrs. REddy used this expression: “Remember that malicious hypnotism is no excuse for sin.” ® After the recess a letter dated Novem- ber 2, 1895, from Mrs. Eddy to Mrs. Woodbury was read, in which the writer said that she had pleaded with the dircet- ors but that she had failed, owing (0 a report that Mrs. Woodbury had written a letter which said that the church cou 2o along on its own account. Mrs. udug said that that had sealed her ilps and shi had come to the conclusion that M: ‘Woodbury was not fit to enter the church. At this point a representative of the Boston Herald was called to show that a large number of copies of the paper was purchased by Mrs. Eddy on June 5, the day after the alleged libelous message of Mrs. Eddy was read In the First Church, but the witness could only say that the rs were delivered. rs. Woodbury then resumed Ler testi- mony, and a passage, in Mrs. Kddy’s let- of April 15, 189, was read, in which the latter said: “Now, dear student, try to go for one ear without telling a faisehood, prastic- ng cheating or breaking the decalogue.” rs. Woodbury denied that she Lad ever told a lie or cheated. Mr. Peabody said that he had several letters which had passed between the plaintiff and tne de- endant which he desired to have read to the jury. In one of these letters Mrs, Eddy told Mrs. Woodbury to remember A.

Since the return of the President and Secretary Hay from the West the indemnity question has been thoroughly gone over with the foreign representatives chleily concerned, includ- ing the British, Russian and French Em- bassadors and the Japanese Minister. Several of the Embassadors who had in- tended to leave for Europe have now de- ferred their departure for a month. As a result of the cxchanges of the last few days the questicn has resolved itself to about the following basis: There 1s no further issue as {o tne total of indem- nity, that being agreed upon by all the powers being $337,000,000. But there re- mains the question of how this amount shall be paid. e Russian suggestion, which appears to have the approval of a majority of the powers, is that China is- sue bonds for the full amount and that all the powers then unite in giving a joint indorsement or guarantee of the payment of them. ‘The desire has been not only to secure the assent of a majority of the powers to this scheme, but the unanimous approval of all of them. This, however, kas not been accomplished up to the pres- ent time and it is for this reason that the modus vivendi is now being considered as a possible means of bringing about united action.
