that Mrs. Lockwood threatened to shoot
her husband the day before she is al
legged to have put the Morphine in his
teacup, and that recently her husband
prevented her from shooting his fifteen4
year-old son. There is considerable
feeling here favorable to Mrs. Lock-
wood. Many claim that she is the VIC
tim of conspiracy on the part of her
husbands children, who want to get her
out of the way. Mr.. Lockwood was re.
called in the afternoon for the purpose
OF giving additional testimony against
his wife, and he declined to say any-
thing preJudicial to Mrs. Lockwood and
created sensation and dumfounded
the lawyer for the prosecution bv say
ing that it was his children
who advised him to make the charge
against his wife, instead of he asking
the children to do it. The lawyer then
virtually threw up the case, stating
that Lockwood had been induced by
some pressure to change his statements
made previous to Mrs. Lockwood's ar-
rest. The justice then discharged Mrs,
Lockwood, when her husband ran up to
embrace her, but she waved him aside,
and told him that she had had enough
of him and his family, and positively
refused to return home with him. Lock-
wood then became enraged at one Of
Mrs. LockwoOd's friends, and was
about to assault her when an officer
elected him from the court room. Mrs.
Lockwood, it is said, will Immediately
return to Virginia.

condemned cannon for an army post in

LONDON, June 2.-The London cham.
Der OF commerce is maturing scheme
which, it is expected, will reduce the
number of strikes in great measure
and ultimately abolish that mode of set
Ting disputes between employer and en-
ploye. The plan contemplates the forma-
tion of reconciliation committee"half of
which is to be composed of employees
engaged in the various trades and half
of master employers representing the
leading industries. This committee it
is proposed to divide into twelve groups
for purposes of convenience, and any
dispute Incapable of settlement by one
referred to the full commit
tee. The plan meets with the
favor of the trades unions and the
masters, and it is not likely that any
difficulty will be experienced in OBJ
tanning the unqualified consent of both
to abide by the final decisions of the
committee. The recent strikes among
the tailors Of London, and the prOba-
bility that there may be another at an
early date. has induced the master tailors
OF Glasgow to import number of work
men under contract from Germany.
Eight of the largest tailoring establish
ments III Glasgow have formed syndi-
cate with the object of overcoming any
strike that may occur among their
workmen. One hundred men have al

80 shillings (SO. A syndicate pays their
expenses to Glasgow and guaran-
tees that weeks work shall be

that many more will be imported, and 1t
is likely that the movement will extend
to London. Arrangements are proceed

INTEREs STING TO INVENTORS.
Proposed Changes in the Patent
Laws.

Laws.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-Thef house
committee on patents, through Mr..
Simonds, of Connecticut, to-day report
ed to the house asubstitute bill recently
agreed upon by the committee In place
of bill to amend the patent laws. One
section of the substitute bill provides
that an improvement to an invention
that has been described for two years
in any journal shall not be patented,
and in reference to this section the re-
port says: The purpose OF this section
is to bar an application for pat
ent upon an Improvement after
that improvement has been de-
scribed for more than two years in
cation, Under the existing statute, two
this country is bar to ali application
for patent thereof. This provision of
existing law has proved salutary in OPP
Grafton; the principle underlying this
provision of existing law requires that
two years of description of an improve
ment in patent OF printed publication
shall also be made to bar an applica-
tion for patent thereon for the reason
that larger degree of publicity is gen.
orally given to an Improvement by two
years of description in patent
or printed publication than by an
ordinary two years public use. which is
almost always local and unknown out
side the particular locality in which it
circulates. Another section provides
for taxing patents, and in regard to 1t
the report says: This proposed amend
ment is founded upon the idea that if
of the patent it is Of such little value to
the owner that he does not care to pay
tax of $40 thereon the patent shall ex-
plre; and that if, at the end of ten years,
the patent is of such little value as not
to warrant tax of S25 it shall then ex-
pire. The purpose is to weed out un-
undeveloped and useless patents to the
end that they shall not be locked away
at the end of the subsequent invention.

SHOT HIS OLD PARAMOUR
An Arkansas Swain's Love Turns
to Hate

FORT SMITH, Ark, June 2.-Win
Jackson to-day shot and killed Ida Dean
in manner especially cruel and de-
fiant. He had been all the forenoon
trying to persuade the woman to come
and live with him again, they having
lived together previously. She per-
siStently refused to do SO, and turned
to leave the room, when Jackson drew a
pistol and fired, and followed the
woman up as she ran into the .
yard and then into neighbours house,
Having emptied his revolver he stepped
into the room to reload it, supposing the
woman still remained in the house, but
discovering that she had escaped
through window, he followed her into
the street, where he shot her twice as
she lay on the sidewalk, and with up
lifted hands implored him not to shoot
her more. This occurred about noon
and in the presence of about fifty wom-
en- and children and few men, who
were held by the murderer, who threat-
ened viciously when they advanced
upon him. When certain of her death,
he kissed her and then shot himself in
the left breast, but not fatally. Officers
arrived and arrested the murderer as he
lay beside his victim

LONDON. June 2.-Parliament reas-
sembled today after the Whitsuntide
recess. In the house of commons Sir
James Ferguson, parliamentary secre-
tary for the foreign Office, declined to
lay on the table the papers relative to
the negotiations with the United States
concerning the Behring sea trouble un-
til the question is settled. Sir James
also stated that neither the French nor
the English government had received
any information of the landing from
French war ship of officers and men ON
the coast of Newfoundland who or
dered the New Foundland fishermen to
remove their nets, and upon their re-
fuSal to do so removed them themselves.
He was sure. he declared. that the Off
GERS in both the English and French
services could be depended upon to pre-
serve conciliatory attitude pending an
arrangement of the Newfoundland
fisheries trouble. The government had

DID NOT sTULTIFY ITSELF.
The Supreme Courts Original
Package Decision o. X.

Package Decision o. X.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-The report
extensively circulated that lawyer
had unearthed decision made by the
United States supreme court few
years ago in which the court took ex
actly opposite ground to that held in the
recent original package decision, turns
out to be incorrect. There is very OBJ
vious distinction between these two
cases. The case tried several years ago
arose out of taxation by state officer
of a cargo of coal brought into Louisiana
by ship. But before the coal
was taxed, a part of it had
been sold, so that, as will
be seen, it was no longer an "origlnal
package" In the Iowa case the court
distinctly and explicitly stated that its
decision applied only to cases where
the liquor still remained untouched in
the unbroken package in which it had
been imported into the state. 1t will
thus be seen that there is distinction
under the constitution between the two
cases. Moreover, it is erroneous to
state that the court appears to have
overlooked his decision in this case.
This Louisiana case was brought to the
attention of the court in the argument
of counsel, and was considered in the
opinion of Chief Justice Fuller, who
cOntrasted the two cases and shows
wherein they differed.

WANTED TO MARY VICTORIA.
An English Crank Makes Love to
the Queen,

LONDON, June 2.-Iu England to make
love to Queen Victoria has been treated
invariably. except in the case of the
late prince consort, as sign of de-
mentia, and more than one humble SUBJ
ject has had occasion to cool his am
bilious passion in the narrow limits of a
lunatic cell. The latest candidate for
this kind of penalty is Alfred Carter, a
young Lancashire weaver, who, pitying
her majesty's widowed condition, wrote
letter proposing to marry the queen.
and adding that no sum of money would
buy him off from the purpose of be-
coming her majesty's husband. The
young man was pounced upon by the
royal household police and arraigned
before a magistrate on charge of
lunacy. The magistrate did not take
the old time-honored view of the case,
and shocked the household police by
declining to send the youth to the luna
tic asylum. Young Carter was turned
over to the custody of his own father.
