SHERMAN REPEAL POLICY.
President VIII Probably Seek to Re
peal the State Bank Tax.

WAeHISGToN, June 1.-THE policy
of the administration looking to the
repeal of the Sherman law seems to be
defin tcly agreed upon. 1t may be
safely asserted that President Cleve-
land does not believe that this Sher-
man law can be repealed without GER
tain concessions are made.
There are three propositions open to
the Democratic advocates of the re-
peal Of the law, by which they may
bring to its support enough votes
from the South and West to accom-
plish the repeal The first of these
Is the enlargement of the currency by
increasing the issue of national bank
notes to 100 instead of 90 per cent of
their bonds, which are held to secure
circulation: second, the repeal of the
tax on State bank notes, and third the
free coinage of silver.
The latter will not be accepted by
Si4e administration The first would
be compromise, hich would be ac-
ceptab BILE to a few Representatives and
Senator who nov opp Sc the repeal OF
the Sherman Jaw. but would hardly
secure streugtn enough to secure the
repea
The re peal of the 10 per cent tax on
State INK notes is one that would be
popul4r in the South for obvious
feas ms. 1t appears now that the
President and his advisers believe that
this is the only one the three PROPOSE
tions that can be safely accepted.

turning to the court room the justices
announced that the preliminary evil
dence did not come up to what had
been proffered and excluded the evil
dence of attempted purchase Of the
acid.
This was the hardest blow the prose
cuton has received, and after the in
PRODUCTION of exhibits the common
wealth rested it's case and recess
of fifteen minutes was taken. During
the recess the prisoner talked earnestly
with Mrs. Fessenden, of Boston.
When the court reassembled Mr.. Jen-
nings opened briefly for the defense,
saying that he would show that the
accused had been of spotless character
until this charge was brought against
her.

testified for the prosecution, was the
first witness. Her fathers yard Is In
the rear Of the Borden yard. She said
that on the night before the murder at
IL o'clock she heard a noise which
seemed like pounding ON the fence. 1t
continued four or five minutes. She did
not investigate the cause of the noise.
Chas \. Clifford and Uriah Kirby
both swore to having seen strange
man near the Borden residence at the
same hour. Mark Chase swOre he saw
a buggy standing in front Of the Borden
house at o'clock OH the morning OF
the murder. And it was man whom
he had never seen before or since.
DR.. Handy testified that ON the morn
ing of the murder he saw in the neigh
borhood Il medium sized young man
very pale and acting strangely Mrs
Hart testified to the same effect. Wal
ter p. Stevens sWOre he went into the
barn on the morning of the murdel
and heard people walking about in the
upper part This contradicts Officer
MedIey's testimony.
Herman RoDinsli testified he saw {
woman come out of the barn on thu
morning the murder was COMMITTED
and 90 to- the stairs at the north sldt

blood near Steepbrock. Aug. 16, WIN
talked about TIE Borden murder. Th
question was reserved until the morn
ing and the court adjourned.

Poor Yield Of wheat in Kansas.

WICHITA, Kan, June iC.-Some OF
the best informed wheat growers of
this section, who have been over this
and ne !ghboring counties making a
close inspection of large fields OF wheat
already cut and in process of harvest
ing, state that the reports OF good
yields were quite unreliable, and that
field after field would not run over
three bushels to the acre. The crop,
they say, was prema urely ripened by
the ravages of the cinch bugs. Since
the wheat cutting commenced the
bugs having gone to the corn and they
promise to play havoc with that crop.
