PREDICTS FRUITLESS ATTEMPT ON THE LIFE OF THE PRESIDENT INDLAY, Ohio, June 30.—]. K. Breesen, a young man residing in this city, while in a trance last night made a number of startling predictions that were listened to and taken down by trustworthy witnesses. He says an attempt will be made on the life of President Roesevelt within fif- teen months by a man with a fancied personal grudge. The plan will be frustrated by the activity and bravery of the President. King Edward will recover, but he will not live three years. When his son succeeds him an attempt will be made to form a republic and grant freedom to the colonies, includ- ing Treland and Scotland, but will fail because the wealth of the country is in the hands of the nobility. The Pope will die with the close of the year. His death will materially change the political map of Europe. , * The next President will bea Republican, but it will not be Roosevelt. There is to be a terrible storm during the third week o August. d J'. . = UDGE COOK HEARS ARGUMENTS AS TO LEGAL RESIUENEt —— law provides that if, after waiting an hour, the defendants do not respond to the call of the court, they shall be re- garded as escaped criminals.” After the.reading of all the documents from San Francisco setting forth the rea- sons for the abseriee of the defendants, Assistant Attorney Jones argued that the evidence presented was incompetent. ““We do not know that these statements are true,” he said. ‘“The certificates read here are uncertified and are worth no more than a letter or telegraphic mes- sage. They may be true--perhaps they are—but are not competent evidence,” Governor Gage read section 1142 of the Penal Code, and argued that in trials for misdemeanor in the Superior Court it was not necessary for defendants to be Fresent; but in trials before a police mag- strate or a Justice of the Peace defend- ant must appear in person. Jones asked the court for an order com- pelling the defendants to gppear in court in obedience to its order heretofore is- sued. He argued that there had been no legal excuse given for their absence. GOVERNOR INSULTS JUDICIARY. ‘When Attorney Bacon made the state- ment at ittman’s certificate would stand in all the courts of California, Gov- ernor Gage interrupted with the remark: .:You mean all of Spreckels’ courts.” I would not insinuate,” re{alied Bacon, “that Mr. Spreckels owns all the courts of California.” Assistant District Attorney Jones then asked that bail be declared forfeited and that the court take the necessary steps to _compel the attendance of defendants.

First, that under section 1301 of the Penal Code they had a right to ask any one to arrest him, and if he was holding him under invalid process, then he had a right to have the writ of habeas corpus against any one who held him; and, furthermore, that there has been no judgment of a court— | there has been nothing which has been ad- judicated one way or the other—and it is free, clear and open for this court to de- termine whether or not that court has jurisdiction of the subject-matter.

ST. LOUIS, June 30.—A low estimate prlaced on the damage wrought within a racius of 150 miles of Alton, IIl, by the storm of wind and rain Saturday night and Sunday is $1,000,000. In the American bettom farming district the farmers are ruined. ‘Wood River, a small and usually harm- less stream, overflowed its banks early Sunday morning and the farmers in the vast expanse of bottom lands were forced to get into the upper stories of their homes to save their lives. Their houses were flooded. After spending a night full of peril they watched the daylight come in only to see that their crops had been washed away. The Reuter farm, near the banks of the Wood River, three miles from Alton, was damaged to the extent of $10,000, and when the waters subside the loss may be twice this amount. This is_cnly one {nsumce. Railroad traffic through the bottom lands is completely shut off and will not be re-established before evening, as the washouts are such that they cannot be easily or rapidly repaired. At East Alton the Western Cartridge Company was flooded and suffered a loss of $5000 ‘or more. Reports received this morning from the Plaza Creek district say that the farmers in their anxiety to get stock out of the valley into the hills neglected to save any of their stacked wheat and lost all. Alil the crops there are lost. DANVILLE, IIl., June 30.—A heavy wing and rain Saturday night and Sunday have ruined the oat crop and seriously dam- aged wheat and corn. Vermillion River is cut of its banks and higher than for thirty vears. All crops on bottom lands are practically ruined and fences, small bulldings and considerable livestock have been carried away. e ——— 1 WASHINGTON, June 30.—Senator Foraker, Wwho was taken ili at the White House yester- day, was very much improved to-day and was able to come down to his private office, He had a slight attack of peritonitis.

In the meantime, all the franchises and public lands-in the islands could be disposed of. De Armond of Missour! said the Eng- lish system had been adopted and was to supplant the American system in our colonies beyond the seas. The other side was it a hurry to afford opportunity for corporations and syndicates to exploit the islands, to prepare civil government not for the Filipinos, but for the American exrploiters. Gillett of Massachusetts said he was willing to state that he hoped in twenty years the Filipinos would be capable of self-government and desire independence, and that indpendence would be accorded them. The conference report was adopted, 149 to 12, a strict party vote, except that Mc- Call of Massachusetts voted with the Democrats. ng.
