J., Dec, 19.—Dr. Hend- ricks, one of the defendants in the case against Laura Biggar and others for al- leged conspiracy to get Henry B. Ben- nett’s estate, was one of the witnesses at | the trial to-day." Hendricks said his only intdrest in the will was to have it pro- bated. i ‘Willis Bigghr, son of Miss Biggar and her former husband, J. W. McConnell, testified that his father came from the West to see Bennett before the latter's death. Laura Biggar took the witness stand and swore that she was married to J. W. McConnell, the father of the boy known as Willis' Biggar, fourteen or fifteen years ago. On Thanksgiving day, 1897, Bennett proposed to her and she accepted him. She said she consented to a secret mar- riage because she did not want the pub- lic to talk about her. Miss Biggar gave practically the samg testimony that her first husband, J. W. McConnell, had given reldtive to his visit when he wanted to take possession of their son. She said she had written half a dozen letters to Stanton asking for a duplicate of the marriage certificate. The original had been destroyed by her hus- band’ during a fit of anger. She had finally obtained a duplicate, the one of- fered in evidence. Witniess said she had not received a cent from the Bennett es- tate. : Under cross-examination she ‘stated that there were no letters written to her by Bennett or to Bennett by her in ex- istence, so far as she knew. She had signed her name after marriage as Laura Biggar and did the same when she lived with™ her first "husband. that she had written a letter, the pur- port of which was “Oh, Molly, I wish papa would do something before some- thing happens. If he difs now I wil] get nothing,” FRENCH AUTHORITI DROP THE GORE CASE Satisfied With the Certificate of Death They Abardon the Prose- cution of De Rydzewski.

TREATY REDUCES RATES OF TARIFF \ Cuban Agreement Fa- vors American-Made Goods and Articles. Senate Will Take t];}e Matter Up Immediately After the Holidays. ‘WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—The friends of |’ the reciprocity treaty recently negotiated between the United States and Cuba have been assured by members of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations that the treaty will be taken up by that commit- tee as soon as practicable after the Christmas holidays. There were several conferences on the subject at the Capitol to-day which resulted in this understand- ing. The terms of the treaty require that it shall be ratified before the 3lst day of January and its supporfers appreciate the necessity for expedition in getting it out of the committee in order to avoid the necessity of an extension of time. The treaty makes more. liberal provision for the importation of American articles into the republic of Cuba than has been stated heretofore, there being provisions for re- ductions in some cases of as much as 40 per cent, in others of 30 per cent, and in still otbers of 25 per cent. On all American grown or American- made articles except tobacco, imported into Cuba and not specified in the 25, 30 and 40 per cent classes, there is to be a uniform tariff reduction of 20 per cent. In return the United States agrees to a uniform reduction of 25 per cent without exception on all importations from Cuba. The new island republic does not agree to amy reduction on tobacco grown in the United States or in the territory of any of its possessions and imported into Cuba. The products of the United States which are to be admitted into Cuba at a reduc- tion of 25 per cent from the'rate of the existing Cuban tariff include pottery, salt fish, copper-made machinery, cast and wrought, iron and steel and! articles used in manufacturing them, glass, cotton and some cotton goods, ships and boats, whisky and brandy. The 30 per cent re- duction includes cutlery, shoes, plated ware, drawings, photographs, engravings, ete.; malerials used in making labels and bands for tobacco, common soaps, pre- served vegetables, butter, drugs, bottled beer, etc., mineral waters and articles made of hemp and kindred fibers, musical instruments and writing and printing papers. The list of American importations into Cuba on which a 4) per cent redyction is made includes watches, umbrellas, knit cottons, preserved fruits, perfumery and waolen and silk goods. There is a spe- cific declaration to the effect that the rates fixed for each of the two countries by the other shall be preferential of each party ' to the convention as against all other countries. There also is a pro- vision against a discriminating tax on the articles affected in the countty of their origin. In case either country changes its tariff rates so as to deprive the other of advantages granted the other country is to have the priyjlege of abrogating the treaty. No specific provision is made for a subsequent reduction of the Cuhan duty 50 as to let American goods in at lower rates by the regular methods of legisla- tion rather than by treaty, but there is a clause under which, if this_reduction is made, the Cuban Government may re: open negotiations to secure a modification of the treaty. It provides for such n change only in case the Cuban tariff should be so reduced as to make the re- duction unreasonable- from the Cuban point of view. The treaty is to go into effect ten days after its ratification by the authorities of both countries, FARMERS OF THE SOUTH TALK OF LEGISLATION Delegnées to the Santa Ana Conven- " tion Discuss Road Laws and Primaries. / SBANTA ANA, Dec. 19.—The work of the Farmers’ Club Convention to-day dealt principally with the general topic of leg- islation and numerous recommendations were made in the papers read for the ent actment of laws to govern the sale of fertilizers, kerosene and oils, and also to regulate the importaiion of - infected trees. Road legisiation and taxes for public highways were considered by V. V. Leroy of Pomona and O. W. Langdon of San Gabriel. J. M. Hambaugh of San Marcos discussed the need of a law providing for the regulation of ‘“fowl ! brood.” Direct primaries were again taken up in papers by Ba O. Kennard and A. E. Davis of Glendora and the advisability of additional State appropriations for farmers’ institutes was treated in an ad- dress by E. W. Reid of Toamosa. Papers were also read by Frank L. Palmer of Pomona on “Fertilizer Control,” by C. A. Day on “Kerosene Test” and by C. F. Cromer of Los Angeles on “County Mu- tual Insurance.” ——— Calendars and Diaries For 1902 make useful Christmas gifts. Stationery Department, Sanborn, Vail & Co., T4l Market street.

BANKS OF SO COVER AOADBED Prolonged Blockade on * the Union Pacific Is Probable. Storm Continues to Rage in Wyoming and Many Lives Are in Danger. DENVER, Dec. 19.—A special to the Re- publican from Laramie, Wyo., says to- day's blizzard has been the worst ever known. It is believed that considerable loss of life will result. All the stages running from Laramie, except that to after vainly trying to drave the storm this morning. The Centennial stage has not returned and it is.feared the driver and his passengers have perished. Madison Walbol, whose son died yester- day in Omaha, started from his ranch near“Centennial yesterday for Laramie. He has not arrived. A special from Cheyenne says the coal shortage, which has already caused hard- ship, has been accentuated by to-day’'m storm, which has made it impossible to deliver coal in the ecity. All street traffic has been stopped. The storm continues to-night unabated. The Union Pacific early this morning threw all of its snowplows on the road to buck the big drifts, but the damp snow is packing hard. A prolonged blockade is not improbable. In Cheyenne it is impossible to see 300 feet through the whirling mass of snow- flakes. The blizzard reached Northern and Eastern Colorado to-night and all rail- roads running into Denver are either blockaded or badly delayed. The in-com- ing Rock Island train is stuck in the snow at Goodland, Kans,, and the train which ghould have left here at 9:30 o’clock to- night over that road was abandoned. The Urion Pacific is blockaded between here and Cheyenne. All the mountains roads are badly crippled. Snowplows have been ordered to the scemes of the block- ades. The weather in Denver {s warm, though snow is threatened. INADEQUACY OF THE DOCKS DELAYS HANDLING' OF COAL House Committee Makes an Investi- gation Into the Complaints Made by Boston. WASHINGTON,: Dec. 19.—The House Committee on Merchant Marine and Fish- eries to-day considered the McCall reso- lution to suspend the operations of the coastwise navigation laws so as to permit foreign ships to carry coal from one port to another on the coast. It was stated before ythe committee that an unreason- able and extortionate rate of freight Is being charged for the transportation of coal from®the shipping ports to the mar- ket -ports and that in Boston, whence comes the greatest number of these com- plaints, the lack of facilities to unload coal as rapidly as it comes to the market is the greatest obstacle to the distribu- tion of that commodity. . The committee postponed further con- sideration of the resolution until the first week of the session following the holiday recess, CLOUDS HURTLE ICE ON HOMES AT AVALON Hailstones of Remarkable Size Form a Feature of an Alarming Tempest. AVALON, Catalina Island, Dee. Immense hailstones, deluging rain, wind, thunder and lightning have com- bined during the past few days to make the strangest storm in the history of this island. The hailstones were of all shapes and sizes—some not larger than a pea, cthers veritable chunks of ice, measuring one and three-quarter inches in length. By this morning 3.48 inches of rain had 19.— fierce fallen. A strong southeast gale raged until poon yesterday, when the atmos- phere © suddenly became calm. The steamer Hermosa abandoned her trip yes- terday. A TR A Gave Old Shasta Its Name. REDDING, Dec. 19.—The man who gave ‘the name of Shasta to the old county seat of this county is dead. He fs Judge A. C. Brown and he died Wednesday afternoon at his home in Amador County. In 1850, when the name of Redding Springs was changed, Judge Brown was one of the members who took part in the proceedings and it was he who suggested the name of Shasta, which was adopted, and ever since the old town has been known by that name. The town that bears the name he gave to it is one of the historic places of the State. ey ! o4 RAILWAY TRAVEL California Limited...
