Speaking of the handwriting testimony Patrick sald that the signa- tures to the four disputed checks varied only in the same way as the signatures to any similar number of papers would vary. He sald that only an expert couid detect that difference. "Concerning other testimony the convicted man said: How can the declaration and determination of a dead man bear evidence except through the testimony of a third party?

Men Agree Not to Walk Out as Another Conference Is to Be Held. NEW YORK, March 27.—Mine workers and mine owners of the anthracite flelds debated their difficulties for four hours to-day in a conference arranged by the | conciliation committee of the National Clvic Federation, but the meeting was | without result, save that the workers agreed not to strike on April 1, as decided at the Shamokin convention. There is to { be further friendly discussion between the two Interests and Senator Hanna was em- powered to call another conference at. | any favorable time within the next thirty days. The workers asked for an increase in pay, a shortening of the working day to eight hours and the adoption ¢f a scale for the entire district. The operators de- clined to grant the demands as to time | and pay and refused to permit the com- | plete unionizing of their properties. The | operators® offered to meet with the em- | ptoyes to discuss grievances at any time, | but insisted that there be no distinction between union and non-union men. They also asserted that the present market con- ditfons did not warrant any increases in wages or a decrease in working time. Senator Hanna, Oscar S. Strauss and Frank Duncan, a sub-committee named by the conciliators, arranged for the con- ference, which was held at the Church Mission house. The operators present were W. H. Truesdale, president of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad; E. B. Thomas, chairman of the board of the Erie Rallroad; George S. Baer of the Reading Railroad and Robert Oliphant, president of the Delaware and Hudson Company, while the spokesmen for the miners were John Mitchell, presi- dent of the United Mineworkers, and District Presidents Nichols, John Fahey and Thomas Duffy. Inequality of Wage System. The labor leaders contended that the men were not given satisfactory pay and that there were inequalities in the pres- ent wage system which should be rem- edied by the adoption of a uniform scale. They also held that the working day should be shortened. The operators contended that the higher pay and shorter day demanded would rep- resent a wage increase of per cent, which commercial conditions did not war- rant. The presidents of the coal com- panles outlined three propositions and sald | that under no circumstances would they | recede. These propositions were as fol- lows: First—There should be no distinction between union and non-union men, Second—The officlals of the companies would meet committees consisting of employes to discuss and adjust all grievances. The mem- | bers of the committee must be persons in the employ of the companies, but the matter of their appointment wowd not be Inquired into, elther as to their religion, politics or member- ship in laber organizations, Third—The coal must be prepared to meet the market requirements, ‘and the output of the mines must be maintained at their produc- | tive capacity, and in no way Interfered with. The presidents also made the point that the ultimatum of the union to strike on THE EMPORIUM.

CHICAGO, March 27.—~Charles Won- dries, n Chicugoan, belleves he has solved the problem of perpetual motion, With the ald of a tall, hollow tower or shaft, n heavy flywheel, two lighter fanwheels nnd nature, he deeliures he can produce a continuous movement anywhere In the world, . A brick tower ninety-six feet high and a brisk west wind assisted the Inventor in his experiment, and all he had to fur- nish was the wheels, There was not the slightest hiteh; the canvas chute leading tower to the hole in the base of belped materially In creating suction, and the wheels, which W serted hetween th around rapidly, The experiment was pro- nounced a success, Those present at the demonstration were not glven an opportunity to see what power the device was capable of producing. The Inventor told them it was there, but it could not be shown owing to a slight accident. While he was put- ting the wheels in position the regular flywheel was broken and a substitute, Lwhlch was not competent to do all the t work expected, was put In its place, The simple device used to-da: ‘model, tloned t was only consisting of the above men- hree “wheels inclosed In a tin cylinder. The stack used afforded only one-hundredth of one horsepower. The rIn(:Igle is as modest as the device itself, Fanwheels are placed on each side of the wheel and the draught caused by the tower strikes first one of these and then the other, communicating in the mean- time with the center wheel, and motion is thus produced, SELECTION IS MADE OF STANFORD DEBATERS Students Who Will Compete With Other University Men Are “Tried Out.” STANFORD, March 27.—At the final “try-outs” last evening the men were chosen who will represent Stanford in the debates against the University of Call- fornia, to be held in San Francisco April 26, and the University of Washington, to be held at Stanford on May 2.

REVOLUTIONISTS ON THE RETREAT Venezuelan Troops Drive Back the Besiegers at Barcelona., WILLEMSTAD,” Island of Curacao, March 27.—The Venezuelan revolution, ac- cording to advices recelved here yester- day, has not realized what it promised last week, The Government forces have reoceupled Port Lamar and Juan Griego, on the Island of Margarita, and still hold Carupano, Cumana and Barcelona, all in the Btate of Bermudez, A force of 1000 revolutionists, under Domingo Monogas, which ‘has been besleging Barcelona, has retreated before the Government forces, The town of Barquisimeto, in the Bta of Lara, continues to be menaced by the revolutionists, President Castro appreciates the real danger of the situation and manifests a tonishing activity and Intellige immediate success of the revolution is looked upon here as being problematical, The revolutionary steamer Bolivar was reported March 21 as being at the moutn ot the Orinoco s sald (o be at Guiria, aud March 23 it was rumored that she was at Trinidad, The Venezuelan authorities continue to make arrests throughout the republic. Further Venezuelan advices received to-day announced that San Antonlo, in tihe State of Bolivar, and Maturin, in the: State of Bermudez, were in the hands of the revolutionary forces, and that 2000 revolutionists, “under Generals Monagas, Penloza and Rolando, had united in an advance and were menacing Cumana and Barcelona. The situation of General Riera in the State of Calcon is sald to have become perilous. It was also learned here to-day that the Venezuelan Government had received a report to the effect that General Varela had defeated the revolutionists under Montiila In the State of Coro, who have been trying to effect a junction with Gen- eral Riera and his forces. News reached here to-day that the British Legation in Caracas had notified the Government of Venezuela that Goyernor of the British island of Trini- dad had been instructed not to permit in 'the future the presence of the revolution- ary steamer Bolivar at Port of Spain, the harbor of the island of Trinidad or in the British West Indies, Under these instructions the Bolivar will not be allowed to coal at Port of Spain. She will, therefore, probably leave ‘Venezuelan waters immediately, proceed- ing to the French island of Martinique. The execution of these orders will place the revolutionary steamer in‘a critical situation. e Postmaster Kills a Man. ‘WASHINGTON, March 27.—Postmgster General'Payne received the following tel- egram to-day from Postmaster John R.
