There were two men and the cook in

STILL UNDECIDED.
The Case of the Countess Russell Against
Her Husband, the Karl, still On.

LONDON, December 2.-Upon the open
ing of the court, in the Russell separation
case to-day, the Countess resumed her
place in the witness box and Sir Charles
Russell took up his cross-examinauon at
the point where it was broken of yester-
day by the adjournment OF the court
Sir Charles, in questions regarding the
relations between the Earl and Roberts,
tried in every way to lead her to contradict
herself The witness, however, persisted
in the statements she made yesterday re-
garding Roberts She also repeated the
statements she had made concerning the
information furnished her by the Dowager
Countess Russell. Lady Agatha Russell
and the Hon. Rollo Russell.
The Countess to-day testified that these
persons did not say anything about Rob
erts, but they told her things about the
Earl's past life that made her think him
capable of the offense suggested.
DR.. Godson then took the stand and in
response to question said the Countess
suffered from spasmodic dysmenorrhea,
disease often accompanied by hysteria.
Eliza Vale, the maid who found the
Countess in faint on the floor OF her
room was then called. She testified that
on this occasion she heard the Countess
pleading with the Earl.
In presenting the case for the Earl, Sir
Charles Russell in substance said he
would limit himself TO the broad issue of
the case. So far as the separation
of Countess and Earl Russell was con-
cerned all that he could say was that n
lady was at liberty TO leave her husband
when she liked The sole object Of the
present suit was to force the payment of
slimony by the Earl.
Sir Charles, referring to the Roberts in
cident, declared that the Countess,
through veiled and obscure innuenoos,
simply desired to wound her husband.
He asked the Jury not 10 be
carried away by clever and engaging
woman telling them a story that was un.
true in all its essential details; woman
so nervy as TO put forward the Roberts
incident in order to support hopeless
case by odious imputations. Court then
adjourned.
A mob surrounded the Law Courts at the
close of the days proceedings, and as the
Earl left he was hooted at and attempts
were made to strike him. The police
endeavored to protect him, but the crowd
overpowsred them, and the Earl was OBJ
liged to seek refuge in the temple. Being
still followed, however, he inmped into a
cab and succeeded in getting away amid
the ieers and Kisses Of the mob.

ering the machinery spaces will be an
other belt of thin armor between the
berth and the protective decks. Here
the thickness of metal on the sides will
be five inches. When the bunkers are
filled with coal they will furnish addi-
tional protection.
Ten inches of armor cover the bar
bettes, in which the eight-inch guns
will be mounted, and seven inches the
conical revolving shields. The ammu-
milton tubes are armored with five
inches of steel, as is the sloping' armor
between the upper and gun decks. The
eight-inch broadside guns will also be

The four-inch rapid-ire guns OF the
secondary battery will be mounted in
armored sponsors on the gun deck.
These will be four inches thick and
further protected by shields.
One peculiar feature OF the new
cruiser will be her great collective horse

be 5000 more than that OF any vessel

A Drunken Soldier in Court.

LONDON, December 2-The Times prints

attack on a number of sailors from the
American cruiser Baltimore on the 10Th Of
October last, witness from the Balti-
more's crew appeared in court in such a
state of intoxication that it was necessary
to remove him forcibly.
The Times correspondent adds that this
incident gives an idea Of the state the
Baltimore's men who had been given lib

occurred in Valparaiso.

THE M'KINLEY BILL.
Arguing Its COnStitutiOnality in the
Supreme Court
ABOUT ROLL CALL BY TELEPHONE.
Justice Brewer Asks if it is Necessary for a
Man to Be Heard and Not to Be Seen
to Count Him as PreSent-Reed's
Rulings Cause the PrOuble.

WASHINGTON, 2. c., December 2.-The
hearing of the cases involving the con-
stitutiouality of the Mckinley tariff act,
was closed in the United States Supreme
court day, with very brief argument
by Stephen G. Clark, of New York, who
was unable to conclude his remarks yeSter-
day.
Solicitor General Taft then opened for
the Government in the case brought here
by the United States on an appeal from a
decision of the Circuit Court of the United
States for the Southern district Of New
York in favor of Balm, Joseph & Co. This
case involves the validity of the Dingley
worsted act. The point OF most pub
lie interest in connection with the
act is that the question Of "no quorum" is
raised, Speaker Reed having, in order to
make quorum, counted a number Of Dem
ocrats who were in their seats, but refrain
ed from voting.
The brief Of the Solicitor Generals
argument was printed last week. HIS
position is that the House had the power
to make the rule under which the bill was
passed and that the question of the wisdom
of the rule is one with which the Court has
nothing TO do, the remedy being in the
House itself and ultimately in the people
who elect the Representatives.
Mr.. Edwin p. Smith, of New York, ar
gued the importers side of the case, main
tanning that on yes and nay vote it was
necessary to show the mans presence by his
action and by some constitutional require
ment and that, there was no warrant for
the clerk declaring him present.
Justice Brewer said the point seemed to
be that it was necessary that man should
be heard and not seen, and asked how 1t
UouId he IL man answered bV telephone to
roll call. Could he be counted in a
quoruml
Mr.. Smith was doubtful on the point, but
thought he might be, perhaps, if the House
put the name on the journal. Attorney
General Miller closed the case with brief
argument in favor of the governments con-
tention

man, had his shoulder dislocated and Mr..
Hill had his leg pretty badly bruised. The
others were more or less bruised.
