my sisters request because of his bad habits.
HOWARD scHSEIpEH's NOTE.
The district attorney-Can you identify this
note?
Mlss Hamlink-Yes; II was written by How
ard Schneider. The note was written Just after
he was denied admission. 1.-THE note, written
on the defendants business card, was as follows:
Dear Amy: WAS here last night and could
not get in. Am going to Norfolk today. Pack
o. X. HowARD"l
My sister replied to that note. She told me
what she wrote.
The witness was not allowed to state what the
answer was, and the government requested the
defense to produce the original, which the de-
fense replied it never had.
The witness (continuing)- He next called the
Sunday morning Of the day Of the shooting
He requested my brother to accompany him to
his (the prisoner's) brothers, and when my
brother declined the defendant said, &c
d your dirty soul" My father then shut
the door in his face and he ran off.
The witness then described an occurrence
when she, in company with her sister, was ap-
preached by the defendant. He asked her
sister to speak to him, when she replied.
Il have told you before that never wanted
to speak to You again" The witness ex-
planned that the defendant caught hold
of he1 sister and wanted to know II she
would leave her fathers house: that her sister
replied that she would not; that the witness
said to him to let her sister alone when he re-
piled; You have done me one dirty trick; I'll
cut your throat"
Another reason. said the witness, why the
defendant wanted his marriage with my sister
kept secret was that he wanted to first have
his trial for shooting man over. The witness
then enumerated the clothing her sister wore
when she was shot.

No Reply From Lord Salisbury.

At q late hour this afternoon a STAB reporter
was informed at the State Department
that no communication had been re-
ceived from Lord Salisbury in answer
to the Presidents most recent letter. As
a result, it is safe to say that there is no
change in the Bering sea situation and that
there will be none until Lord Salisbury is
heard from.

year. The Only bid offered was opened on
the I'D Of September. which was proposal to
perform this service for the remaining nine
months for the sum of ga. 200. As the ac-
eeptAnce Of this bid was impossible. the Com
nissioners were compelled to continue the
service under the control of the health ofios at
the best rates that eoald be secured.
DECREASE OF COMPLAINTS
About the 18th Of October an arrangement
was perfected by which the price OF teams
with two men each was reduced to SIS per diem
and The rate for the scow and tug boat
service was reduced from $50 to $40 per
diem OF course the cost of INSPECTION
was very great, and in the absence of q re-
sponsibis contractor 30 investigate causes OF
complaint and direct the ignorant drivers of
wagons, such inspection was. in the judgment
of the health officer anu Of the Commits
sioners absolutely essential 10 the preservation
Of tho public health II may he also stated
that the contractor for furnishing the teams
would not agree tc the reduced price in Dcto-
Der unless he assured OF the continuance
Of employment until the first day OF De-
Gambler The result Of the action Of the
Commissioners WAS q satisfactory service
Complaints gradually decreased from 200 day
IN August and September TO about four per
day II October, November and December.
Prior to the LIST Of December the Commits
siouers again advertised for prog osals for daily
service, and In view Of the iateness of the season
and the smaller demands for teams they
we're able to secure contractors at very reason
able rates, namely, S3.s5 per diem for a team
With two men and sl2.5o for the daily service
Of tug boats and scows
On the LIST day Of October three Of the in
spectors were dismissed On November IS three
more were removed and the number OF teams
was reduced to sixteen, while the pay Of the re-
naming inspectors WAS reduced TO - per oiem
each.

UNSATISFACTORY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-The Post
will say to-day: 1t was learned on
good authority that the state depart
ment received information from the
Chilean government that that coun-
try was ready and willing to make
reparation for all losses to life, limb
and honor suffered by Americans,
but the dispatch or letter was couch
ed in such terms as to be unsatisfac-
tory.

THE STAR OF PEACE.

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 2O.-The star
of peace was in the ascendancy at
the capitol to-day. There was no
tangible reason for the waxing of the
pacific view of the Chilean situation
and the waning of the warlike talk,
which has been INDUCED in during
the last few days by many congress
men. Nevertheless, there was a
wide spread conviction that war is
not necessary outcome of the pres
ent complications between the United
States and Chill, although there is
also general belief that the good
temper and forbearanCe of this coun-
try is being sorely tried by the ex.
asperating procrastination of the
Chilean government in the cores
pondence.

FREE SILVER.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-1 hree
weeks from to-day, at 10 o'clock, in
the house the committee on coinage,
weights and measures will, by the
terms of a resolution agreed upon in
committee this morning, vote upon
the question of reporting to the
house a bill for the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver. This deci-
sion was reached harmoniously, and
after meeting free from dispute.
The anti-silver men realized that
they were in minority in the COM
mittee, and the free silver men, con-
fident of their strength, were dis
posed to meet the other side h alf
way in amicable arrangement that
would bring the matter before the
house within reasonable time; that
the decision as to the hour of voting
was unanimous. The proceedings
in the committee indicate that it is
very likely that the committee will re-
port to the house bill for free and
unlimited coinage of silver, with a
recommendation that it do pass.
