Progress of the King Trial.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, June 22-The trial Of
Lawyer King for the murder of Lawyer
Poston is nearing its end. The prisoners
testimony regarding the shooting was TO
the effect that Poston applied offens ive
epithets to him at the fatal meeting in
front of the cigar store; that Poston
started to draw pistol before King shot,
and that the latter had no idea of shoot
ing Poston until the moment in which it
was done. The line of testimony of Il =
defense has been to prove insanity, and a
large numb-4 of witnesses have testified
that they believed him insane. The re-
buttal, however, is very strong in the
other direction, both as to insanity and
the occurrence of the murder. Poston's
ante-mortem statement is explicit as to
the assertion that the shooting was done
without provocation at the time, whatever
Kings grievance might have been for pre-
ViOus matters.

in which il says: The National Silver
committee desires to call the attention Of
the country TO the object lesson which
is being exhibited in the desperate strug-
gle of the great financial institutions on
both sides of the Atlantic to increase the
gold reserves to avoid bankruptcy and
ruin, and that any increase by one neces-
sarily diminishes the reserves Of others.
The Bask and Structure of Credit.
For eighteen years the basis of credit in
gold standard countries has been growing
narrower as the single standard has been
extended and the production Of gold
fallen off, while the structure of credit
has been growing proportionately larger

An Important Fact just Noted.

LONDON, June 22-Vienna has for the
past seven years been under martial law,
and very few people were aware of the
fact. The reason nobody knew it is that
the ordinary laws were not interfered
with and the people went about their bus
mess without interruption. Only when
some anarchist or socialist has been at
tempting disturbance did martial law
step in and seize and get rid Of him. Tie
ban has just been removed and the an
nouncement of its removal created mild

SPRINGFIELD, Ills, June 22.-Diligent

Fifer had kilograms sent to Lieutenant

the recent rise in the price of silver, which,
within a few days, advanced several points.
