The interpellations were thereupon postponed and it was an- nounced - that the Government had abandoned its intention to issue a yel- low beok on the neutrality question. The postponement, which was for an indefinite time, was made at the Gov- ernment’s request and brought on a sharp discussion between Rouvier and Vaillant anfi De Prezsens. The Pre- mier appealed to the patriotism of the deputies to refrain from accusations affecting the good falth of the country, pointing out that a debate on the sub- ject would not be advantageous and might lead to embarrassments. Vaillant asserted, amid an uproar, that the Government's orders to ob- serve neutrality were not executed. He added: “Neither does the Russian fleet re- spect our neutrality and it is necessary to make it do so. It is necessary to show our impartial neutrality by acts instead of words.” De Prezsens declared the country was entitled to know the exact situa- tion so as to be able to judge of its responsibilities.

SAN DIEGO, May 15.—Petty offenses, brooded over until they were magnified, caused W. P. Robinson, a housecleaner, to kill four persons this morning. He' attempted the life of a fifth and then killed himself. His were the acts of a lunatic and they followed in such rapid succession that before the commission of one crime was known the others had been committed and the mad man had taken his own life. The first victim was H. W. Chase, a cabinet-maker, whose workshop is in the | building 1n which Robinson had his room. A little after 7 o'clock Robinson ap- peared at the door of the shop, armed with a revolver. He fired thrice, all of the bullets finding lodgment in the body | of Chase. | On the same floor he found Willle Stew- |art, son of his landlady, at breakfast. He attacked the boy and, after, firing a shot that would have been fatal, he used a double-edged dagger and stabbed the boy twice. At the same time Mrs. Stew- | art appeared at the door and he turned his attention to her, sending a bullet through her head that caused her death less than an hour later. Returning to his room, Robinson re- | loaded his revolver, left his knife there and, taking a rifle with him, started on a bicycle toward the water rront. Why he stopped at|the house of W. H. Dodridge cannot be guessd, but he put his wheel | at the curb and entered the house. He was met in the hallway by Harry P. | Dodridge. The ready revolver was | brought into use by the maniac and a bullet crashed through young Dodridge’s | body so close to the heart that death was almost instantaneous. Mrs. Dodridge came into the hallway, but turned to run | and Robinson sent several bullets in her direction, one of which struck her in the | thigh. As she fell Robinson started up- stairs, where Dodridge Sr. was in bed. | The "latter saw the wild-eyed murderer coming toward him with a rifile across his arm and without waliting for ceremony he | jumped from the front window to the top |'of the porch, from which he fell to the | pavement, being severely injured in the fall but escaping the bullets of the mad- man, who after once opening the front door to warn people to keep away, Rob- inson returned to the second floor, sat down on the bed which Dodridge had just | left, and blew - off the top of his head. | Mr. and Mrs. Dodridge say that they | never heard of or saw the man before. | PARLIAMENT MAY 3 HOLD OVER YEAR Report That Dissolution Will Not Occur Until Fall of 1906. LONDON, May 16.—The Chroniele this morning claims that it has good author- | ity to assert that the Government has de- |clded to postpone the dissolution of Parliament until the fall of 1906, and that this decision means ghe death blow to tariff reform.

She moved about the home all day yes- terday and seemed as composed as any one could be under the circumstances, while her air of bravado in the court yes- terday afternoon did not excite the sym- pathy of the crowd in the least.

The immigration officials re- cently obtained circulars written in the Chinese language, addressed to "Chinese in the United States who had been ad- mitted since the termination last Decem- ber of the Chinese exclusion treaty. These circulars, which were freely circulated wherever Chinese were to be found, re- quested that the Chinese Legation be pro- vided with certain information concern- ing the admission of Chinese to the United States, since the termination of the treaty. Commissioner General Sargent of the Immigration Service, upon the receipt of the translations of these circulars, point- ed out to Secretary Metcalf of the De- partment of Commerce and Labor that there were some statements concerning the action of American officlals which were not in accordance with the facts. The department officials promptly suspect- ed that the Chinese authorities were in search of evidence by which they hoped to prove that the exclusion of Chinese at the present time is unconstitutional. —_——— MAY BE A SECOND DR.

At the time of his arrest he asserted ‘that for three ays his mind had been a blank and that he remem- bered nothing for that period. —_— e TESTIMONY OF EXPERT FAVORS JOHANN HOCH Doctor Thinks Arsemic Foumd im the Body Came From the Sotf. . CHICAGO, May 16.—Testimony for the defense was begun to-day in the trial of Johann Hoch, charged with wife murder. The defense waived any opening address to the jury. Dr. Gus- tave Kolisher, an expert, combated the theories set forth by Dr. Lewke, Pro- fessor Ha! and other experts for the State in rej to the cause of the death of Mrs. Walcker Hoch. Dr. Kol- isher declared that had arsenical pois- oning been the cause, there would have been a noticeable corroding of the mu- cous membrane of the stomach. Dr. Kolisher gave as his opinion that | the arsenic found in the body of' Mrs, Walcker Hocn came there from the sofl of the graveyard, which, he said, like the earth of all cemeteries, is saturated with the poison.
