The .Jnme. Trial.

GALLATIN, Mo-, Sept. 4.--Mrs. Frank James,
accompanied by her little boy, made her first
appearance in the court room during the trial
yesterday, and took seat beside her husband.
The court announced that each side would be
given ten hours In which to present arguments
which will permit the case to 60 to the jury
Wednesday noon. The court on motion ex-
tended the time OF the defence to twelve
hours. The instructions for the State and the
defendant we're then read. Instruction for
murder in the second degree does not amount
to much, as it can only be returned as separate
from the robbery. The killing of Mcmillan by
any member of the gang while pursuing a
robbery, If the defendant is believed to have
been one OF the party, is murder in the first
degree. Instructions as to the credibility of
the witnesses were very clear and favorable to
the defence, the jury being instructed that the
testimony of an associate in crime requires
confederation to the extent of certainty. w.
d. Hamilton. prosecuting attorney for bis
Oavies( county, opened the case for the State
and spoke till the court adjourned. John M.
Glover will open for the Defence.

Warming to Business Men

In an address to the Cincinnati Chamber
of Commerce a few days ago Senate. Sher-
man said:
But, although congratulate you on these
things, there are some things that should
be subjects of warning and caution to busi-
ness men. 1t cannot be denied that in the
last four or five years large investments
have been made in this country in property
that docs not pay now. The development
of our railroads, although of enormous ad-
vantage to you and the people of the coun-
try, has gone forward too rapidly. 1t is
therefore true that there are great many
investments upon the market which do not
pay, and therefore decline in value and ere
ate hard times among business men. We
know from experience that this is but tenn
porary, and that it will be only two or three
years until the increased capital and wealth
of this country will absorb these unproht-
able ventures, and by their powerful lnnu-
ences make them profitable.

east Coast of Newfoundland.
ST. JOHN, N. F., Sept. Admiral Crom-
well of the British flagship Northampton is
engaged to-day at the scene of the sffray in
the investigation of very serious outrage re-
Gently inflicted on four British vessels by
a gang of French fishermen headed by shore
captain at Cape Onious on the northeast
coast of Newfoundland. Early in August four
British fishing vessels came to the anchorage
at Cape Onious for the purpose OF cod fishing.
AS soon as they launched their skiffs the
Frenchmen ordered them to weigh anchor and
quit They refused, when the Frenchmen
commenced to unbend their sail, seize their
boots and oars and carry them to the shore.
Having stripped three vessels they next
boarded the schooner Camet Capt. Ayeward
showed fight delivering lusty blows on the
Frenchmen and putting the to fight. The
asssilants then turned on Capt. Ayeward and
his crew with boat hooks and gaffs and severe
ly maltreatad them. They next stripped his
vessel.
After two days elapsed French war cruiser
arrived on the scene and after some inquiry
restored the sails and gears to the vessels but
ordered them to quit the harbrr. All four ves-
sells retired under protest. The people of New
FouDdland are indignant at this violent out
rage and it is not unlikely that it may lead to
international complications.
