effect of the Mckinley bill upon Britieh

WILKERsoN's TRIAL.
The Wife Of the Murdered Man Placed
On the Stand.


RoMS, GA, Oct. 13.-The Wilkerson case
continues with great interest, and the court
house was crowded again to-day. Witnesses
for the defense were sworn to-day. So far
the evidence introduced has failed TO rebut
that of the state. II seems to be the uni
versal opinion that the prosecution has
made out a clear case of murder.
Mrs. Stephens, wife Of the murdered man
and the paramour OF Wilkerson, was placed
on the stand late this evening, but the court
adjourned before her testimony was fin
ished. Her evidence so far is wavering. and
it can be plainly seen that she ia leaning to-
ward Wilkerson. She was very impertinent
in some OF her replies on the cross-examina-
tion by the state. The COUNSEL on both
sides are making a desperate fight.

PLAYS TO CONE.

"THE CHARITY BALL." which has already
been favorably received in this city, will be
again presented by Charles Frohman's COM
pany at the Alvin next week. The scenery
Tor the production is all new, and the mount
ing, which is SO necessary to the "Charity
Ball." will be all of highly artistic order.
As society play "The Charity Ball'' is still
a strong attraction.
THE engagement of Margaret Mather at the
Bijou next week will possess unusual inter
est from the first performance here of her
new play, "The Egyptian" which was pro-
duced on Monday last in Chicago. ''The
Egyptian is founded on Victor Hugo's great
story, "The Hunchback of Notre Dame, +" and
it is said to afford Miss Mather, who is so
well liked in Pittsburg, great chance to dis
play her talents as ESmerdldd. Mr.. Otis
Skinner and good company will support
Miss Mather.

production of "Sinbad" is now enjoying its

been demonstrated already by "Sinbad" and
Mr.. Henderson. Pittsburg will support a
meritorious attraction two weeks. The Sec
ond edition of ''Sinbad' is to be given next
week. and already the advance sale for the
second week indicates that it will be just as
large as the first Pittsburgs second edition
will introduce number OF new features, in
cIuding the celebrated Spanish danseuses,
the Chitten sisters; also new songs, new
dances and new jokes. Manager Henderson
will bring his new play next season for
three weeks

GROWTH OF sLUM POPULATION,

Mr.. Carroll d. Wright in a recent ar
ticle on the growth of cities in this country,
while recognizing that the increase of their
population is out of proportion to the
growth of the whole country, argues that
this does not imply that the population in
the slums is increasing. He thinks the
growth is mainly in the line of suburban
population, and points out the probability
that there will be still larger growth of
the same sort in the near future.
While it would be satisfactory to adopt
this belief to its fullest extent, we fear it
will have to be accepted only as relatively
true. Thus while the greatest proportion
of growth is to be found in city suburbs, it
is likely that there has still been an in
crease of population in closely packed
courts and alleys. We fear an inspection
of an accurate census by minor divisions
will disclose that nearly every city has had
an increase of population in the wards,
where the gain necessitates the packing of
the population like bees in hive, and
that the sum of vice, disease and want in
dicated by the tenement house population
has grown rather than decreased as the
country has gained in wealth.
The growth Of the suburban districts oc-
cupies relatively the same place to urban
population as the settlement of new land
does to the agricultural population. If
we compare the old and settled agricult-
ural districts to the old and thickly built
wards of the cities, it is much to be feared
that We shall find that the population of
the former has stood still or diminished
while that of the latter has steadily grown.

SURROUNDED BY WATERsP0UTs
The Steamship Kelat Had to Do Some
Lively Dodging.

NEW YORK, Feb. H.-Captain Mckay, of
the ship kelat, which arrived yesterday,
says that during two days of the trip his
vessel was kept busy dodging waterspouts.
'We passed about dozen Of them," he con-
tinued, "a whole family. in fact, containing
large and small members. We had several
narrow escapes, and consider ourselves
lucky in getting through without injury or
loss of life" The Kelat sailed from Chitta-
gong, India, on October q last, with cargo
ofjute, and several times during the voyage
the crew feared that they would never
reach New York. The ship is one of the best
of her kind afloat, and her captain is an e1-
perienced seaman. On the 18th of this
month the first of the waterspouts appeared.
The vessel was then in latitude 25o north
longitude $50 west. At about the middle of
seemed to rise suddenly from the ocean
about 100 yards ahead of the vessel. 1t
whirled around like a tower on a pivot, the
summit extending above the tallest of the
masts.
The ship was making good headway at the
time and was dangerously close to the i'm
mense body OF water. Captain Mckay gave
mis- orders quickly and the kelat changed
her course to avoid the fall. The sight was a
beautiful one to contemplate at safe dis
tance. The sun was shining brightly and
the great column sparkled like diamonds.
The column curved and finally disintegrated
IN drops like those OF an unusually heavy
rainstorm, The ship had scarcely cleared
the danger when smaller spout started up
about hal 8 mile away on the port bow. 1t
was succeeded by one after another until
more than dozen had appeared. One great
column seemed IL or Is feet in diameter and
was near enough to make it necessary to
tack q second time in orGer to avoid catas-
tropne. A sharp lookout was kept during
the night, but nothing further occurred until
the next afternoon, when another display of
spouts of various sizes occurred. These,
however. were all at q safe distance from the
vessel. Their disappearance was followed
by unusually severe gales from the SOUTH
west. west and northwest, during which
considerable damage was done on deck.
