An Extensive Strike.
BY United Press

Ell PAso, Texas, Dec IL. The
strike of the telegraph operators
begun yesterday between this city
and Yuma, on the Southern Pacific
railroad, promises to develop into
mammoth proportions. The super
intendent of the Santa Fe road
ordered the dispatchers to handle
Southern Pacific trains between
this city and Deming,N NJ but the
operators bluntly refused to do it and
the superintendent was notified if
he tries to force the matter and puts
new men to do the work il means a
strike on the whole Santa Fe sys-
tenn. The district superintendent
Of the Western Union ordered the
men to handle the trains between
here and Deming but the men would
not, and the matter rests there
until higher officials are heard from.
The trainmen between here and
Yuma are holding meetings to de-
eide as to wether they shall take any
action in the present difficulty. In
an interview one of them stat I'd
that if the Southern Pacific COM
pany succeeds in defeating the oper-
ators they will he the next TO be
dealt with in like manner. The
operators have received assurances
from every connection and they will
stand by each other in this case.

The Graves Murder Trial.
By The United Press.

DENVER, COL, Dec. IL. When
the Graves trial was resumed this
morning Prof. William II. Headen
was placed on the stand and cross
examined. He had found arsenic
in the viscera of Mrs. Barnaby as
well as in the solution of arsenite of
potassium examined by Prof.
Haynes. He did not believe that
the deposits he discovered could
have been deposited through the
mouth of bottle by the air which
had been in contact with some ar
senical substance. The solution
which killed Mrs. Barnaby could
not be bought at the drug store.
The nearest approach to it was
Fowler's Solution. The compound
which the deceased drank could not
have been made from Fowler's Solu-
tion. He did not believe chemi-
cal student of two years standing
could have compounded the solution
of arsenite of potassium.
doctor, what do you believe caus
ed the death of Mrs. Barnaby," asked
district attorney Southern.
81 believe it was caused by some
vimlent poison
"What do you think that poison
was?" >7
II believe it was arsenic"
On cross examination DR.. Hayes
stated that he issued certificate of
death for congestion of the lungs be-
cause that was the Immediate cause of
death, but that the congestion, in his
opinion, resulted from drinking ar
senite of potassium. Counsel for de
fense endeavored to show that the ar
senic would not have affected Mrs.
Barnaby's lungs US she was victim
of paralysis and as arsenic affects the
weaker portions of the body in pre-
ference to the healthy portion. But
the doctor said that such was not
necessarily so. Dr.. Haynes stated
that there were none of the symp.
toms of pneumonia in Mrs. Barna
by's illness. DR.. Samuel L. Bones
tel the next witness. said he attend
ed the bed side of the sick wo
man on Wednesday, April 10Th. for
the first time. He was present when
Mrs. Barnaby died. She was very
restless just before she died and suf.
tered great pain. Poison had been
suspected at the time and from what
he knew about the case, h. said i,
was his belief that death was caus
ed from arsenical poisoning Court
hereupon adjourned for the day.

New YORK, Dec. IL. Although

few visitors to the morgue to-day to
view the CHASTITY head. The fea-

is not identified soon the identity of
the mysterious person may never be
known. The officials at the morgae
are confident that among the visit
ors who viewed the head there
were some that identified it, but
were afraid to speak out.

by the recent utterances and atti-

towards the government, there were
several disorderly scenes which f.

the President of the Chamber of
Deputies, affairs reaching climax
when }. Paul de Cassagne, enraged
at the utterance of NJ. Floquet
/ sprang to his feet and deliberately
called the latter a liar. Words
can hardly describe the scene which
followed. Yells, oaths, insults, threats
challenges and defances filled the
air. Everybody seemed determin-
ed to quarrel with somebody else
and long time elapsed before or
der could be restored. Nj. Flouquet,
as soon as he was able to do so,
challenged NJ. Cassagne to with
draw the term he has applied to him
or to meet him on the field of hon.
or. M. Cassagne positively refused
to retract the insulting epithet he
had applied to the President of the
Chamber. The result is that both
have chosen seconds and the latterare
now making final arrangements for a
duel which it is said will be fought
at an early hour to morrow morning
