THE U. S. CONSUL at southampton,
in his report to the Treasury Depart
ment, states that agricultural imple-
ments of American manufacture are
twenty-five per cent. cheaper there
than those made in England. And yet
the protectionis's say the high tariff on
such implements and on the materials
of which they are made is necessary in
order to enable American manufactur-
ers to compete, in America, with their
British rivals. The more protection
is tested, the more glazing appear its
frauds and receptions.

DELEGATES ELEcrED.-Accomac yes
terday elected divided delegation to
the Richmond convention. Resolu-
lutious were unanimously adopted, en-
dorsing State Senator Blackstone for
attorney general. Resolutions endors-
Col. c. T. O'Ferrall for governor were
offered and provoked spirited discus
sion. The meeting, by an overwhelm-
ing majority, voted TO lay the matter
on the table.
The convention held in Winchester
yesterday for Frederick county elected
twenty delegates to the State conven-
ton instructed for O'Ferrall for gov
ernor. The meeting was lively one,
and several fistic encounters occurred.
A primary election TO name y dele
gates to the State convention was held
in Danville yesterday. Only two tick
cts, Buford and O'Ferrall, were in the
field. Eleven Buford delegates were
elected by an average majority of 80.
J. r. Parkinson, Buford candidate,
and 0. w. Dudley, an O'Ferrall man,
tied, each receiving 446 votes. Accord

will be another election to settle this
tie, if the two men cannot settle it be.
tween themselves. In North Danville
two were elected outright for Buford,
and the other two were tied between
him and O'Ferrall. A compromise was
effected, each taking one Of these two.
Prince Edward sent two more for
O'Ferrall, the other precincts of the
county having already elected.
Richmond's 101 delegates will be
chosen by primary on Thursday.
Full Buford and O'Ferrall tickets will
be put up, but it is doubtful whether
the Tyler people will name candidates.
Buford will probably get three-tourths
of the delegation.

Justice Fursman directed District Az
torney David S. Hill, to read the indict.
ments.
The third one was that against Elizabeth
Halliday, and the court directed the sher
III to bring the prisoner befor the bar.
In lew moments Sheriff Bercher led
Mrs.. Halliday into court. She was clad in
blue dress and looked clean and neat
Her hair was tied in a tight knot at the
back Of her head. She looked pale from
her sickness and imprisonment, her face
being OF asby psleness Her eyes roamed
about the courtroom, and for the first time
since her imprisonment she looked those
around her straight in the face.
The District Attorney began to read the
indictment which charged her with the
murder of Sarah Jane McQuillan, Margaret
McQuillan and Paul Halliday, and finding
the charge OF murder in the first degree
against her.
As the District Attorney read to her she
looked at him nd blinked, not seeming to
realize the terrible charge presented against
her.
When the reading Of the Indictment was
finished, Judge Fursman asked her whether
she pleaded guilty or not guilty.
The prisoner did not answer, she appar-
emily not understanding the question.
When asked IL she had selected a lawyer
she nodded an affirmative but could not
speak his name.
When asked IL she would know him by
sight she nodded.
She then turned and took Lawyer Thomas
Hart, of New York, by the lapel of his
coat and led him before the Judge.
Judge Fursman said he was somewhat
embarrassed az to the selection of counsel
and spoke kindly TO Lawyers Hart and H.
b. Fullerton, who have been mentioned in
connection with the trial, saying they had
been actuated by feelings of kindness and
humanity in Offering their services. He
stated that under an act OF the last legis-
lature where prisoner indicted for MUIR
der in the first degree IS unable to hire
counsel, the counsel must be appointed by
the justice and the county sustain the
charge for payment. To appoint a lawyer
from another county would be an injustice
to the resident counsel, therefore hs ap-
pointed George II. Carpenter, of Liberty,
as Mrs. Halliday's lawyer.
Mrs. Halliday was asked II she knew
there were three indictments against her.
She said In low voice that she did not.
Her apparent return % semblance Of rea-
son is due, it Is claimed, to her being kept
free from visitors and all excitement the
past week. A commission will be asked
for to examine into her sanity.
It is believed that her case will be tried
at the next May term of court, and that
she will receive life sentence.l
