THE FREDERICKsON MURDER. A
The Trial of the Alleged Murderers
Nearly Completed.

OYsTERvILLE, WASH, August 1.-The
trial of John Edwards, charged with the
murder of Mrs. j. F. Frederickson, in
Pacific county, last January, which has
been in progress since Tuesday, will
soon be at an end. The prosecution
rested yesterday morning, and the de-
tense did the same today. The chief
feature of the defense's policy was
to prove an alibi for Edwards.
The crime was fixed as occur
ring on the 30th of January, and
the Rose family, as well as boarders at
Roses hotel at South Bend, swore that
the accused was in or about the hotel all
that day, and the other three, John R.
Rose, Edward Gibbons and George F.
Rose were also there during the day.
The theory of the defense is that George
Rose killed the man first, then kept the
woman locked up several days as his
unwilling mistress, finally killing her.
The only motive for the crime advanced
by the prosecution is the possession of
quarter section Of land adjoining the
Rose ranch.

Associated Press Dispatches

BUENos AYREs, August 1.-At the be-
ginning of the revolution General Le-
vale took command of the government
forces, seconded by the chief of police,
Colonel Capdevilla, with $500 police
men. Until Sunday, the 9th, at 5
a. m, the revolution was triumphing.
1t was decided at that time to grant the
truce asked by the government till 10
a. M, when fighting was to be
continued. 1t was not resumed,
it having been decided to stop
firing to enter into treaty. While
this was going on the government was
receiving troops from the interior.
Many commissioned soldiers about the
streets were killed and many others
wounded by the excited people. On the
2Sth firing started again, the revolution
lists, being helped by six men-of-war,
bombarding places occupied by govern
ment troops, causing damage of small
Importance. At p. m. the men ceos sed
firing by order of the revolutionists,
who abandoned their arms according to
an agreement with the government.
The leaders of the revolution say this
agreement was entered into because of
their want of ammunition. The people
are greatly discontented with these
arrangements. Some citizens and SOL
diers have even committed suicide Col.
Capdevilla has been obliged to have his
leg amputated. Col. sCampo, the revo-
lutionist, is dead. The chief leader OF
the insurrection was DIR. Leonardo N.
Alem.
Celman Issues a Manifesto.
LONDON, August IA dispatch to the
Times from Buenos Ayres states that
President Celman has issued a mani
festo. After speaking of the demand for
his resignation made by the leaders of
the revolutionary movement, he refers
to the prosperity and liberty the country
enjoys under his rule. He ignores the
gravity and what his own journal terms
the horrors of the recent events in
Buenos Ayres.
The manifesto attributes the sole CAUSE
of the insurrection to the insensate am
bition of local party in Buenos Ayres,
which, it says, wished to impose itself
upon the entire republic, while prosper
lty, peace and security were represented
by the Celman government.
The manifesto concludes with an ex-
preston of eternal gratitude to the sup
porters of the presidents authority, and
adds that patriotic people blesses them
as saviours of the government.
Even Celman's own party, the dis
patch says, is aghast at the presidents
callousness, and his incomprehensibl
and vain ignorance of the real gravity of
the situation.
The Situation Unimproved.
LONDON, August 1.-The Times has
the following from Buenos Ayres The
situation here is unimproved. The Ma
tional and other banks are taking ad-
vantage of the law for postponing pay
ments, and will cash only the smallest
checks. Perhaps the commercial crisis
may force Celman's friends, including
Rocco, to forcibly compel Celman to
resign.

A Rate-Reducing Order.

WAsHINGToN, August 1.-The inter-
state commission has issued and will
send out tomorrow an order to take
effect September 1st, for the reduction
OF the rates on food products, based on
the report sent to the senate June 9TH.

motions OF the roads to dismiss for

views the powers and duties of the COM
mission in the matter of beginning and
conducting an investigation, and the
commission holds that its proceedings
are legally sufficient, and the reductions
are necessary to make rates reasonable.

Cactus and Camel.

The cactuses are very peculiar plants
as peculiar structurally as they are bizarre
and grotesque in outer appearance. They
have spared no pains and shrunk from no
sacrifice in accommodating themselves to
their niche in nature. In the first place,
they have no true leaves. What look like
leaves in certain jointed cactuses are re-
ally flattened and extended stems. If this
seems at first hearing hard saying, the
analogy of the common stonecrops, where
stem and leaf are hardly distinguishable,
will help to make it little less incredi-
bic. In other ways, too, the stonecrops
Tor sedums, as the gardeners call them
throw much light upon the nature of the
cactuses.
All these rock haunting or desert plants
naturally get very little water except at
long intervals after occasional showers.
Hence only those can survive which form
themselves, as it were, into living reser-
voirs to retain all the moisture they once
absorb. As soon as the rain falls in their
arid haunts, the roots and rootlets eagerly
drink it up in great hurry and store it
away in the soft and spongy cellular tissue
of which the main part of the plant is
wholly formed. For this purpose, both in
stonecrops and cactuses, the stems have be-
come heshy and succulent, and being also
green and leaf-like they closely resemble
true leaves. But they are covered exter-
nally with thick skin, which resists
evaporation and keeps the moisture, once
collected, at the plants disposal for an I'M
limited period. In short, the cactus does
as plant just what camel does as an an
imal.-Grdnt Allen, in North american Re
