tive Brotherhood's Boycott Rule.
A Toledo dispatch says: Monday morn
ing, in the United States Court, Chief
Arthur. of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers. fled his answer to the petition
of the Ann Arbor Railroad Company in the
$500, 900 damage suit Mr.. Arthur acknowI-
edges that the Ann Arbor is railroad COM
'pany; also that it is a common carrier. and
admits lots of other things that have little
II any bearing on the case. The only
thing Of imT ortance that he does admit is
the existence OF the boycott rule of the
brotherhood. which is given in full Mr..
Arthur's frankness in acknowledging the
rule is supposed to be due to the fact that
his attorneys have found out that the rule
pertains to the brotherhood and not Mr..
Arthur. The answer says that Of the in
functions Of the court mentioned in the ne
tition he knows nothing, as he was not
served Each and every allegation in the
petition IS denied and Mr.. Arthur asks that
he be dismissed with his costs

NEW YORK, March 10.-Speculation at the
stock exchange opened quiet. The only
feature was further break in lead. common to

tobacco, common, rallied to 9411 bid. with no
stock offering under 97ls. The general market,
while quiet, was firm in tone. As a rule prices
yielded 4 to rs per cent, but in few
instances the declines were far more i'm
portant. General electric broke five points to
1894 and was frequently pressed for sale. Aneri-
can tobacco sold at siI and later at 49, Man
haitian fell off IL to 1891. The dealings. as a
rule. were quite small. At IL ain. general
electric had recovered to 1901 but the market,
taken all together, was weak III tone.
After IL o'clock few shares scored still
lower figures, American tobacco selling down to
w sugar to 117s4 and national hnseed oil 10
34s4. A recovery of to rs followed
under the leadership of American tobacco and
general electric. In regard to the early de-
cline in the latter insiders attribute it to iquida-
tions by small holders and to a concentrated
attack under the management Of a well-known
bear operator.
They state that the financial condition Of the
company is excellent and that this will be
demonstrated at the meeting of the stockholders

LADY BLANCHE DENIES THE CHARGES
Testimony for the Defense in the London
London Divorce Case.

LONDON, March 10.-The trial of the How
ard-De Walden divorce and separation suits
was continued today. The manager of the Sea-
brook Hotel and the servants employed at that
hotel were called as witnesses to support Lord
Fredericks charge that Lady Blanche had
committed adultery with Capt Winter. These
witnesses testified that Capt. Winter had visited
her ladyship at the Seabrooke Hotel and dined
with her there. ano had accompanied her after
ward to her parlor.
Lady Blanche then took the stand in her
own defense. She looked quIet and unem-
barrassed and retained her self-possesion
remarkably well, answering questions promptly
and smiling pleasantly. indifferently or sar-
casucaliy as the questions seemed to suggest.
Her ladvship said that he had known Capt.
Winter for fourteen years. She acknowledged
that he had dined with her and visited her
parlor al the Seabrooke Hotel. but she swore
emphaticslly that she had never been guilty OF
the slightest improperly with him or any one
else.
Her ladyship recounted in detail her visits to
Pau and to Paris, and what she had done while
there. and she testified positively that Count
Jean de Madre had never been in her rooms at
night. The count had, it was true. frequently
visited her and her friends both at Pau and
Paris and in London but there was never any
secrecy about his visits.
Lady Blanche denied that she had ever left
her card in the bedroom of Count Jeane De
Madre. in Bury street. testified to by Madre's
former valet. Crockhani. She had, however.
visited Madre there. When she went
to Bournemouth to see her son,
Thomas Evelyn. at school, Madre visited and
thned with her at the hotel where she was stop
ping. but he never was in her bed room.
Lady Blanche testified that she had dismissed
her maid, Miss Crook. from her service because
she suspected her Of improper relations
with Count Paul de Madre's valet, Crockham.
When Miss Crook received notice OF
dismissal, she declared that she would
write to his lordship and cause scandal.
Lady Blanche asserted in positive terms that
Miss Crooks statements. as to her ladyship's
relations with Count Jean De Madre. were abso-
lutely false and pure inventions, and that she
was never guilty of any improperly with
Madre anywhere.
The case was then adjourned.
