Seattle. June 21.--The third day Of
the Boyd murder trial ended with a
witness of the defense on the stand
the prosecution having rested its case
early in the afternoon. So far the case
had but few sterling developments be-
yond the testimony of Police Captain
Hogle today to the effect that the de-
fendant told him she had murdered her
lover willfully. The indications are
that tomorrow sensational letters which
passed between Boyd and the woman,
in which many men of prominence are
named, will be introduced,
Attorney Piles in opening for the
defense referred to the brutal
ity of Boyd toward the woman, and
said he would introduce letters to show
that he had used her to blackmail
prominent men. He also outlined an
insanity theory, and asserted that the
woman was driven to the deed in self
defense after haxing been made tenn
with the sympathy Of the spectators 50
porarily insane. The day closed
in favor Of the defendant that
an expression of it was restrained with
difficulty by the court officials.

London, June 21.-As yet no official
estimates of the yield of cereals this
year is obtainable. Bells Messenger
says the recent estimate Of the French
wheat crop. which placed the yield at
10000 quarters under-stated the guam
tity produced. The harvest in Spain
is now full headway, and fine yields Of
wheat will be secured. Reports from
Italy show the yield of wheat TO be
good, but scarce In England a
hundred days drought wrought havoc
with all crops except wheat, which is
not now largely grown.

New York, June 21.--An interview
with ex-senator George Il. Edmunds
is printed. in which he says: Il have
not any doubt THAI the operation Of the
Sherman law has helped to bring about
the present crisis. 1 think It would be
well to 60 back to the currency law
which existed before the bank law.
Gold should be coined at the mint free
Of charge ands silver also should be
coined on payment Of seignorage by the
owner Of bullion. and If there should
not be enough for ahe needs Of cur
rency presented, the secretary of the
treasury should be authorized to buy
sufficient quantities. In this way the
demand and supply would regulate
itself, and silver would not be driven
out Of use do not believe In dispens-
ing with silver If such an arrange
ment cannot be made, why not fix O
new ratio between gold and silver
based on the present market value No
such ratio would be permanent IT
would have TO be changed from time to
time as the production Of gold or sill
yer Increased. but think a fair ratio
fixed now would last 20 years.

Baltimore, June 21.-Cardinal Gibbons
has given the Associated Press an
official translation Of the Pope's en-
cyclical letter to archbishops and
bishops in the United States on the
noted parochial school controversy.
The encyclical urges that Catholic
schools be most seduIously promoted.
leaving it to the conscience and the
the judgment Of the ordinary mind to
decide according to circumstances when
it is lawful and when unlawful to at
tend the public schools. While the pub
lie schools are not to be condemned
entirely. still every endeavor should be
made to multiply and advance the
Catholic schools.

The Bullet of a Highwayman Proves
Fatal After Five Years.
Seattle, June 21.-F'ranlx A, conant
died at his home in this city tonight
from the effects of a bullet wound re-
ceived in the throat from the pistol OF
a highwayman in Cincinnati five years
ago. Conant was at that time living
at Avondale, a suburb of Cincinnati.
One evening while driving home with
his fathers team from town, a masked
robber commanded him to hold up his
hands, and when he failed to obey,
shot him, the bullet entering young
Conant's throat. The elder Conant was
connected with the Big -Four railroad,
and usually carried large sums of
money, so robbery was doubtlessly the
motive. The highwayman was never
found When Conant recovered he
came to this city Tonight the old
wound broke, and he died suddenly.

TO REVISE A SCALE.
Employees and Manufacturers Hope
to Agree ON Terms

Employees and Manufacturer Hope
to Agree ON Terms
PITTsBURG. Sept. 20. The scale con-
ference of the Amalgamated association
and iron manufacturers, who adjourned
without settling the wage question
three months ago. reconvened during
the afternoon at the request of the
workmen. The prospect for such a
settlement as will insure the immedi-
ate resumption of mills in all depart
ments are not as bright as they were at
the last conference, for the manufac-
turers say that even with straight 10
per cent reduction they will still be
paying higher wages than competing
non-union mills.
Il is reported that the Manufactur-
ers' association in the iron and steel
sheet mills are desirous of further re-
vision of their scale. claiming that un-
der the present rate of wages they can
not successfully operate their works.
As yet no official notice has been given
the officers of the Amalgamated asso-
citation, and they do not think there is
any trouble to be feared.
