APPEALS TO THE PEOPLE.

Japanese House of Representatives Pro-
rogue6 New Election Ordered.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Teleerams have
been received in this city announcing that
on the 25th inst. the house 6 representa-
tlves of the Japanese diet was dissolved by
imperial order, under the constitution. The
house OF peers was prorogued and q new
election for members Of the lower house
will be held within six months. The gov
ernment bases its action upon desire to
test public opinion concerning the policy
OF the popular party in the house of repre-
sentatiyes, which, since meeting last
month, has indiscriminately opposed all
government measures. Three distinct spec
itications are made in regard to the course
the opposition pursued. First, it insisted
upon wholesale reduction in national ex-
pendltures, which, if adopted, would be
fatal to administrative efficacy; second, it
persevered In postponing debate upon ur-
gent government bills, especially measures
for the relief of sufferers by recent earth
quakes and floods, and for the repair of
river embankments wholly or partially de-
stroyed by the earthquake. which in their
present condition threaten irreparabIe dis
a5ter to large districts; and, third, it re-
Jected without debate government bills for
national defense. for railway extension and
for tightening local taxation. These acts,
the government states, betray disregard
for the national welfare and spirit antag-
onistic to the proper discharge OF duties
devolving on the diet. On the dissolution
OF the house, the government. on its own
responsibility, Immediately issued an or
dinance for the relief of sufferers by earth
quake and floods and for the repair of river
embankments. appropriating over $4,000
600 in addition to the $3,0O00O0 already
granted.

THE PAUPER OATH.

It Is Being Taken by Men WHO navo
Gotten INTO Trouble.
There is law on the statute books OF
Montana which allows any person confined
in jail in default of payment of fine, to take
what is known as the pnuper's oath. This
means that the prisoner has to acknowledge
before notary public that he hns not the
necessary money to discharge his obligation
to the county, and that he is incapable (for
obvious reasons) of earning it. This nifida-
Wit is placed before Judge, who ia to pass
Judgment on the application, but who III
allowed very little discretion in the matter.
The effect is this: ordinarily prisoner
confined in the county Jail for nom payment
of a fine imposed for misdemeanor, is
allowed at the rate of ~ per day. Ii his
fine is $25 and the costs $15, or total OF
$40, he must serve twenty days. But by
taking the 'paupers OATH he is allowed
the munificent sum Of $5 day, which in
the case cited would allow him to work out
his time in eight days. The question only
came up few days ago on the application
of a colored man who Is serving out a fine
and costs for cutting another man. His
application was allowed, though it is not
likely that this will be made criterion for
future cases, as most of those sent to the
county Jail for misdemeanors are of the
class who would readily take nm oath to
their poverty, if by so doing they were al
lowed &c. instead OF ~ per day, toward
serving out their sentences.

The Pacific war ships

Los ANGELES, Dec. o9.-Admiral Brown,
Of the cruiser San francisco, came up from
San Diego yesterday and joined his wife.
He says he has no reason to expect war
with Chilli and will return to San Diego to-
day and there await further orders from
Washington. According to the admiral,
the cruiser Charleston has left Honolulu for
Acapulco. Whether the Charleston will
come north or 20 south from Acapulco the
admiral declined to say. In regard To the
extra ammunition aboard the San Francis-
co. Captain Simpson says: 1--WE have
enough to fill up the Charleston and Balt-
more and put them in campaign condition.
1t is believed here that the San Francisco
has orders to remain at this port until the
turn or another, and that her disposition in
the future will depend upon which turn
those diplomatic relations take. The Bal
timore is expected here about Thursday.

ARGUING THE CASE.
Attorney Pence Speaks FIVE Hours In the
Graves Trial

Attorney Pence Speaks FIVE Hours In the
Graves Trial.
DENVER, Dec. 29.--In the Graves trial to-
day Immediately after Judge Rising'a
charge to the jury, Pence began his closing
argument for the prosecution. In the
course of his remarks, he said:
"You are determining an important ques-
ton Of life and death. The law asks you
to take what the law cannot give again.
The law requires you to be satisfied with
out reasonable doubt before you find him
guilty. Ii Graves did not prepare the fatal
draught that sent his benefactor to her
death and you do not believe he did from
the evidence then let him 90. It is not be-
cause tho counsel can create fact or be-
cause the attorneys have any right to insist
upon any unfair conclusion. II is because
the solemn duty rests on us AS we'll as on
you. It is because the law requires US to
seek the truth and it is because of this that
the counsel may be able to refresh your
recollection 30 as to guide you toward the
truth. With that notion of the duty of the
counsel | came before you."
1.-The two important questions for you to
solve are:
us there any doubt that Josephine Bar
naby died victim of poisonp"
II think not. l have no fear in saying
that. as all testimony showed, Mrs. Barnaby
did 80 die.'
WAS it at the hand of Graves, who had
no allies to assist him, but, aided or un-
aided, was he the man? That theory you
are to solve"
"There is no excuse for any jury in the
world to hesitate moment in bringing in
q verdict that he poisoned this woman.
His relations with her began year before
her husbands DEATH She was his patient.
1t is evident to you, as it is to me and to
her children. that the husband who has
spent lifetime with his wife better under
stands her needs and the proper limitations
to place on her after his death than tramp
interloper who comes in after his death"
lyon know Mr.. Barnaby knew what was
good for her when he made his will, better
than did those interlopers, but little did he
know when he dictated the will that in
the city of Providence there was an adven-
turer of n lawyer and tramp doctor who
would rob the woman when he was in his
grave.'
Pence spoke for five hours. At the even
ing session Col. Ballou opened the argu-
ment for the defense and spoke until late
hour when court adjourned until to-mor-
row.
