A DAsTARDLY MURDER.
Conviction of Young Libertine W

Conviction of Young Iibertine Who
b Murdered His Girl Wife,
New York, Feb. 2.-For nearly month
young Carlisle Harris has been on trial here
charged with having poisoned his girl wife,
who was at the time Of death IN inmate of
a fashionable boarding house in this city.
The marriage of the two had been kept
secret. but the mother of the girl, Mrs.
Helen Potts. learned of it and pressed
young Harris, a medical student, to fix the
time when the marriage would be made
known. The time was close at hand when
the ycsss.ag woman died. Fifteen days later.
rumors OF foul play having crept about, the
body was dug up and an autopsy made.
Morphine was found Ill her system. When
Harris was arrested he admitted giving her
capsules of morphine and quinine az ner-
vine, but tried to cast the blame for her
death on the druggist. 1t transpired that the
young woman before her demise was brought
close to death by criminal operation,
performed by Harris. 1t also trnnspired
that when the young wife was almost dying,
on one of these occasions. Harris engaged
in libertine orgies with other women.
girl wife, and dreaded his family learning
of the marriage, was introduced 1t was
proven that he had betrayed other young
women, and boasted of his power with girls.
The case was given to tho jury to night
and in about an hour they returned with a
verdict of guilty OF murder in the first de-
gree. Mrs. Harris, the prisoners mother.
shrieked and fell to the floor. "My God,''
she cried. Where is justice?'' ''There is
no Justice on earth.'' replied Harris
younger brother. "It's lie that he is
guilty, and from such men us these. -
moaned the grief stricken woman. She was
utterly overcome and it was some time
before her younger son and other relatives
were able to take her from the court room.

sAL1sBURY's PLEA.
Tells Devonshire Conservatives Why They
Should Stick to Him.

Tells Devonshire Conservatives Why They
Should Stick to Him.
LONDON, Feb. 2.-Lord Salisbury to-day
spoke at Exeter, where he met with an
ovation from the Devonshire conservatives.
He criticised the liberal programme az OBJ
sours, indefinite and full Of empty prom
ises. The radicals wsrs specially ready to
assure voters they could obtain measures at
the expense of their neighbors and the
eighth commandment. The liberals ap-
peared to rely on the creation OF parish
councils as q means to improve the condi-
tion Of laborers, by adding interest to the
villnRor. The evil arising from multiplied
local bodies was overlooked by the advo-
Gates Of parish councils. He commented
on Chamberlain's old age insurance meas
ure. and said he was hopeful this scheme
would romedy the distress prevailing among
working classes. 1t would be effective,
however, only when carried out on sound
business principles. Another remedy for
relieving distress was the creation OF small
rural buildings. which the government
trusted would confer great advantage by
relieving the sutferings of the poorer
classes. Ireland. however, remained the
burning question Of the hour. on which
would rest not only the next election, but
perhaps others. and he appealed to the
country to uphold the union.

Will Not be Reported Until the Subject Is
Thoroughly Studied.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-The Springer free
wool bill was under consideration to-day by
the democratic majority of the ways and
means committee. The discussion was
entirely harmonious. but there was some
difference of opinion as to the features of
the new measure and arguments in support
of these differences took up most of the
time. There had been somo discussion of
the proposition to fix the rate on woolen
manufactures on a sliding scale, like that
proposed in the Mckinley bill, rather than
at a uniform rate. The committee will,
however. before it reaches any conclusion
as to whether the rate be lower than at
present and whether uniform or varying,
obtain additional info nation bearing on
the question in all its phases. For this rea-
son it ls undetermined whether or not the
wool bill will be the first tariff bill reported
from the committee. Should othsr bills
which arc of less complicated nature, such
az thoee relating to binder twine and free
lumber. be ready for action by the commit
tee it may be decided to report first some
bill of simpler nature than the wool bill.
and give additional time to the preparation
of this measure. The whole question is
still open.

BUTTE, Feb. Especial. Tho Mon

this morning. There were present: y. De

dent DeWolfe read his report OF his trip to
Chicago. AS to the exhibits from the states
1t has been decided that all should first bo
submitted to the state board and II ap-
proved should then be sent to the depart
ment in charge at Chicago, where it will be
finally decided what shall be admitted and
what rejected. This arrangement will i'm
pose great care on the Montana board In
the selection OF exhibits. otherwise much
needless expense will be incurred in the
transportation of articles which are not
likely to be accepted. I'm this connection
care should be used.' says President Dc
Wolfe, mot to duplicate specimens Of arti-
cles. As to the space required in the exhi-
bition buildings by the different staten, tho
Chicago meeting decided that requisition
should be made by or through tho state
boards as early as practicable. and in all
cases should designate the department. or
building in which spaoe was asked"
| Judge De Wolfe also alluded to the ve1a-
tious delay in granting to Montana site
for state building, and the Judge says
that his calling attention to this had a use
full effect as on the following day lot was
assigned to Montana. This was lot No. ~,
which, in his and Architect Galbraith's
opinion, is more desirable than the lot ut
first promised to Montana. The symmetry
and proportions of the first one we're in
some degree injured by projected railway
passing obliquely across it.
1t was decided to make the bond of Fuller
4 Galbraith, for the Montana state build
ing 5000. although Msssrs. Hershfeld,
Joy, Collins and Chowen thought it should
be $4,000. Commissioner Bickford recon-
mended securing the Cameron collection Of
gold specimens from the Atlantic Cable
mine. The reports Of Profs. Swallow and
Traphagen showed that much progress has
been made in collecting minerals. Secre-
tary Ramsay recommended getting out a
relief map of Montana,and book of infor-
nation about the state in several Languages.
He reported $12,27592 on hand out Of
$4,000 received from the state. There WAS
some discussion as to obtaining larger

Yards indebtedness at the time the bank

ing overdrafts of $278GGl. OF the re-
mainder there are many certificates of de-
posit and in no instance did Yard make a
deposit to meet the certificates. -Four of
them, amounting to 100000, were charged
against him. There we're also notes out

count would have existed. Yard was held
