THE OLSEN TRIAL.
THE EXAMINATION OF WITNESSES
BEGUN.
A San Quentin Convict's Damaging Testi-
mony-More Sensational Disclosures
Yet to Be Made-Public Interest.

MERGED, CAL, April 4.-Proceedings
In the Olsen case began this morning.
All the witnesses of the prosecution
we're called (about forty-fve in number)
and sworn. j. P. Jones. the first wit
ness, told the story of how the Sunday
previous to the murder was spent, and
bow he discovered the body of Ivett on
Monday morning.
At the afternoon session, Bennett, the
convict brought from San Quentin to
testify, was sworn. He said: II went
to the mountains in company with Olsen
IN 1887, with stock; stayed about four
months. While there one day we talked
about his sister marrying old Ivett, and
he said MY sister did we'll; he is old.
and if an heir comes she gets it ALL 1
said: How if none comes?' well, if
away with him. The next talk we had
he wanted me to help do the old man
up. He said: There is lots to back
us: we can prove an alibi;' but he
didn't put up, SO the job didn't 60.
About two years ago he offered me $4,000
to kill Ivett. I told him no, and if Ivett
was killed, 1 would tell. Olsen then
tried to turn it into joke"
The defense tried hard to break this
testimony, but failed, witness record
being the only drawback to his testi-
mony. The case is creating great ex-
element, but the attorneys state that
the most exciting part is yet to come.

WOMAN'S WEAKNESS
THE CAUSE OF A TERRIBLE TRAG-
EDY IN DAKOTA.
Two Brothers GO Cunning for Their Sis
ter's Seducer-Four Men Dead as the
Result of Their Vengeance.

ST. PAUL, April "A special to the
Pioneer Press from Pembina, N. d.,
says One of the bloodiest tragedies in
the history of Pembina county occurred
near Bowermont today, at the residence
of Robert Irwin, where Fred Bartlett
shot and mortally wounded Thomas Nc
Connell, H. G.. Hill and Mr.. Irwin, and
an hour later blew his own brains out.
1t appears that Fred and Thomas Bart.
lett, knowing Mcconnell was at Irwin's s
house, went there for the purpose
OF killing him, claiming that he seduced
their sister under promise of marriage,
and then married another woman.
Mcconnell was shot twice at the barn,
when he ran to the house and up stairs.
He was followed by the Bartletts and
shot again. He got out through win
dow and started across the prairie,
where he was followed and shot twice
again. Hill and Irwin were shot while
defending Mcconnell. Tom Bartlett is
under arrest at Drayton. All the par
ties are well-to-do neighboring farmers,
except the one that took his own life.

Parnell and Fitzgerald.

LINCOLN, Neb., April "A gentleman
high in the Irish National league, who
is authorized to speak for President
Fitzgerald, stated today that the state
ment said to have been made by DIR.
O'Reilly, of st. Louis, intimating that
Fitzgerald had called council of the
Irish National league together
for the purpose Of endorsing
Parnell, is false. The league by
its constitution and resolutions of it's
conventions, has heretofore been
pledged to assist Parnell and his col
leagues. At present divided opinion
exists, and it is matter of such grave
responsibility that Fitzgerald felt it his
duty to place it before the council of the
league and secure for it the considera-
ton it deserves.

COMMISSION PAYING.
The Railroads Getting Back to the Old
System.

system.
CHICAGO, April 4.-Another confer
ence on the question of commission
paying was held by the various roads
today, but little was done. 1t is report
ed this evening that Notwithstanding
the denials of the interested lines, they
have agreed to pay up back commits
sions, and resume payments in the
trunk line territory, on the ground that
the board of ruling has failed
to carry out its policy. Besides, it is re-
ported on apparently good authority,
that the Union Pacific, which ordered
the payment of commissions to cease
February 1st, has countermanded that
order. AS the matter now stands, it
looks as if the western roads had shifted
the responsibility for the failure of the
scheme upon the eastern lines,
owing to the failure of the board
of rulings to enforce the proposed
boycott. Complaint having been made
by some roads that too much of the pro.
ceedings of the association meetings get
into public print, Chairman Midgley of
the Western Freight association, has
sent out a strictly private communica-
-tion to the members of the association,
discussing the matter, and saying it is
contrary to the spirit Of all agreements
to furnish copies of the proceedings to
non members, or to show them to the
public.

THE SUGAR TRUST.
Members of the Monopoly Squirm Under
Examination.

49,
Examination.
NEW York, April 4.-The sugar trust
committee of the state senate met again
today. Theodore Havemeyer said the
American Sugar Refining company had
nothing to do with the California re-
fineries. There was nothing in the re-
port that the refneries were going to
combine and raise prices. The cost of
other country.
A letter was handed witness, and he
was asked to read it and tell what he
thought of it. The letter was
addressed to the chairman of the
1t stated that last week an agreement
trust and all the other American refner-
les on one part, and all the principal
wholesale grocers of the United States,
of the second part, that the American
refneries are to pay the grocers one
quarter OF cent per pound, together
with one per cent. discount, if the bills
for sugar are paid within one week from
the date of sale. In return the grocers
pledged themselves not to purchase any
foreign refined sugar. Havemeyer said
the whole thing was lie.
John E. Searles, treasurer OF the old
trust, expressed the opinion that if the
manufacture of sugar in this country
was under one management, sugar could
be supplied to the public at a cheaper
rate, and with more profit to the refner,
than through single operations.
A long discussion took place as to the
production of the corporation books, in
the course of which, Counsel Root re-
marked that he did not see why the
committee wanted to examine the books
anyhow.
Senator Irwin fared up at this,
and told the sugar people sew
eral things, among others that
it is reported that the trusts divi-
dends are made by operations in Wall
street. sr
Mr.. H. O.. Havemeyer sharply inter-
jected that such talk is all rot.
Senator Irwin replied: eff had the
proof of all ! heard, you all ought to be
in the states prison."
5Thereupon Mr.. 7. A. Havemeyer grew
angry and objected to the chairman
acting as judge before the case was
tried. f
Searles went on to say that to his
knowledge there was no agreement for
the division of the country between
Spreckels and the trust.
The Havemeyers, he said, had made
sort OF an arrangement Of a personal
nature with Spreckels, that did not
affect the company.
Harry 0. Havemeyer was called un-
der subpoena, ordering him to produce
the books Of the constituent companies.
He said he was unable to do so; that
they were in New Jersey, and although
he was president Of the company he
could not have them brought here, az
they were the property Of the corpora
ton.

A PECULIAR CRANK.
DR.. Vost, the Man Who Predicted Stock
Broker Deane's Death.

SAN Francisco, April 4.-Dr. Karl
Vost. the man who predicted the death
of Coll Deane, the stock broker, is
an old resident of this city, and in 1886
was considered one of the best physi-
clans in the county. He came here in
1867, and it was in 1856 that his wife
died; since that time his mind has been
falling. He has been dealing in mining
stocks considerably, with varying for
tune. He won $500 two weeks ago,
and intends to go to Europe on that
amount. When interviewed tonight in
regard to Deane's death, he refused to
make any statement, but said any one
who violates or treats with disrespect
the mandate OF the supreme governor of
the universe, will be struck dead, as
Deane has been. He has filed docu-
ments with the county recorder re.
nouncing the baptism of his son, Carl
Adolph Vost, by Catholic priest, and
states that all the Bibles in the world
will be burned by mandate of the SUI
preme governor. He says also there
will be another victim Of the mandate
on Monday. He is considered harmless.

CANADIAN DEFENsEs.
Ominous Activity in Military Circles-Is
War Expected.

war hXpeCUous
CHICAGO, April "A special from OF
tawa, Ont. says: Two important an
nouncements confirm the previous state
ment that General Herbert, the new
commander in chief of the Canadian
militia, brought special instructions
from the English war Office to speedily
strengthen the defenses of Canada, and
prepare for putting large force in the
field. The first is request
to the government to double
the usual appropriation this year for
drill, so the entire force of $4,000 men
can be thoroughly drilled in June.
Never before has the number of men
drilled exceeded 10000 men. General
Herbert left today for Halifax to confer
with General Ross, commander of the
imperial troops in Canada, with respect
to the defenses of the Atlantic coast,
particularly Halifax, where new fort
will be constructed. One thirty-ton
gun recently arrived at Halifax from
England, and three others are about to
be shipped. These are the largest guns
on this side of the Atlantic, and add
greatly to the defense of Halifax.
