POEM BY ALFRED AUSTIN, Sir Henry Irving read a poem writ- ten for the occasion by Alfred Austin, the poet laureate. It is in five stanzas, the third of which follows: “Now once again our western Kindred send whom grave thought and virile speech adorn; Not for whose sake alone we hail him friend, But for the manly land where he was born.” Field Marshal Sir George White, Gov- ernor of Gibraltar, proposed the toast of “The Pilgrims.” Speaking of the new Unijted States fleet, he said it was to guard fhe coast of America and the neighhoring countries from evil doers. Sir Gegrge also referred to the good relations of the two countries, which he said were growing oloser and closer, General Stewart L. Woodford, former American Minister to Spain, replied for the American pilgrims and Dr. Conan Ddylé for the British pilgrims. Sir ‘Henry Campbell Bannerman, in proposing the health of Lord Roberts, briefly referred to Mr. Reid's former visits to England and spoke of Eng- land’s pleasure at welcoming him back. —_——— FAVORS FEDERATION OF GERMAN AUSTRIA Ong Member of Reichsrath Urges Abroga- tion of Unmion With Hungary.

The direct examimation was concluded late this afternoon, after which court was ad- journed until to-morrow, when the de- fense will begin its cross-examination. Only -once to-day did anything occur to break the monotonous piling up of docu- mentary - evidence by the This was when the court ruled that it was proper-to introduce evidence tending to show that Senator Mitchell had know- ingly accepted fees in other but similar cases to the one at issue, for’'the purpose acceptance of a fee in the case at lssue had been by inadvertence or carelessness, The disagreement arose over the offer of a letter and testimony from Judge Tan- ner, showing that Tanner and Mitchell had madé an agreement with Kribs to expedite certain claims in December, 1903. | The defense objected on the ground | that the agreement came. outside those aileged in the indictment. Attorney Heney contended that the rulés of evidence ad- mitted such testimony in certain cases as‘tending to prove knowledge and intent where its lack was set out as a defense, as in this case.- The court held with | Heney, and‘as a result the testimony of Judge Tanner was admitted in relation to the work done for Benson and Hyde of ‘California, W.

Mitchell had received his share of the fees paid.

In some of the letters the Senator asked if his {name had been used in filing papers, warning the Judge that he could not ap- pear as an attorney before any of the Government departments; in others Tanner referred tp the matter, stating that he had not®allowed the Senator's name to be placed to any papers. A letter from Tanner to his partner told of a conversation had with Benson, who was then in Portland, in which he had cautioned Benson that tue Senator could not be in any of the transactions. After court had adjourned, Heney said | that he expected the Government would complete its case next Monday afternoon.
