Fatal Dose.

PoaERoY, Ohio. March io.-Mrs.
Thomas VI. Helmer. who took n large
dose OF eNtrac, OF co!oynih to prove that
shc had no; poisoned her daughter, died
last night. The daughter died from poison
and the mother was accused OF having adj
ministerei the fatal dose. She denied the
charge and 10 demonstrate her innocence
she took Two spoonfuls OF the coloynth
with the above result. IL is believed now
that the poison was placed IN the medicine
by some unknown person. Thomas
ilelmer, her husband. says lie thinks that
the physician did IL. Mrs. Helmer thought
the same and took some OF her daughters
preparation, supposed 10 be n harmless
purgatlve, to prove that the blame rested
on some other person.
Il was a dramatic scone. In the best OF
health, she called the rest OF her family

HERBERT MAKES REPLY.
and Tells Why lie Gave B!ouut the
Powers lie Did.

WASHINGTON, March 10. - Secretary
Herbert has made response to Boutelie
in tho house, calling OH him TO state the
authority for issuing instructions placing
the naval forces at Honolulu under the
orders OF Blount. In substance the an-
swcr Is that the action was necessary to
prevent a conflict Of authority, and that
the secretary's authority for issuing the
orders was the president, eommander-in-
chief OF the army and navy, and cites a
number of prccedents for the action.
The secretary begins his reply by quot
ing his instructions TO Admiral SkeTtt,
and that part of Blount's credentials to
President Dole, describing his authority
as paramount in all matters pertaining
TO the relations with Hawaii. IL Gals
attention TO the fact that At this time the
United States forces had beon landed
md the United States flag was Hoatieg
over Honolulu. Under the circumstances
and in view of tho remo,euess of the
ISLANDS. the secretary says il was essential
that no conflict Of authority with refer
encc 10 disposition of the United States
forces should arise, but that il should be
employed in harmony with the policy OF
the state department.. Therefore Skerrlit
was ordered TO obey the directions OF
B.ount.
Herbert says he deems IL at all times the
duty of the naval department in matters
affecting foreign relations to act IN sub
ordination TO the civil branch and no,
take the initiative except in special cxi.
gencies, admitting of no delay. 1t was
especially so in the case in hand, because
the representative Of the state depart
ment there was charged with duties of u
delicate and confidential nature. More
over, the orders were issued by authority
of the president himself. The secretary
then cites number of precedents, run
ming as far back as 1893. TO show the pro-
priety of the action taken.

Rio De JANEfRn, March lO.-There now
seems TO be definite prospect of naval
baitie anu the prompt ending of the re-
l,eiiion SO Tar as Rio Jaueiro is concerned.
The dynamite cruiser Niciheroy, tho tor.
pedo boat Aurora, the torpedo boat De-
stroyer and three torpedo boats brought
over from Germany, have arrived here.
When the sun rose this morning Pexoto's
Meet was seen at anchor in u small bay at
tho entrance OF the harbor and we'll pro-
tected by the guns of Fort Santa Cruz.
lhe Nietheroy, from the position which
stic now occupies, expects 10 be able 10
throw dynamite shells at Fort Vi.legaia-
non, and when Villcsaignon has been
siIenccd, 1t is expected that the Sictheroy
consorts will steam up 10 the sheltered
position behind the island upon which the
'illeSaignon Notifications stand and
Viii from there shell the rebel fleet
while being protected from the fire
OF the heavy guns OF the insurgents ships
Tie Paruahyba, formerly guardship at
Pernamonco, and the cruiser America are
outside of the bay 10 watch, it is pre-
shined, against a surprise upon the part
Oh the Aquldaban or any other rebel ship.
All tho insurgent war vessels, as well as
the government fleet, have cleared for
action and battle now seems imminent.
The United States cruiser San Fran.
cisco, the flagship of Admiral Benham,
has anchored in a most peculiar position
near small island OH which Fort Laga
stands. The San Francisco is but little
way out of the line Of fire should the
Nlctheroy open up on the Villegaignon
with her dynamite guns. On the other
hand, no better position could have been
chosen by the United States admiral for
Judging of the efficiency OF the dynamite
gun. The other United States war vessels
are just outside of the harbor, and it is
presumed that they will come inside when
the action commences.
The general opinion seems to be that
the baltic will commence tonight or TO-
morrow night.

English Pound Gully.

GREAT FALLS, March l0.--The jury in
the famous case of the state VS.. Robert
English returned verdict of guilty this
morning, and Judge Benton Immediately
sentenced English to serve one year in the
state penltentlary aud to pay u fine Of
500. The case has been tried four times
and has attracted wide attention from the
fact that all kinds OF rumors have pre-
vailed regarding tho probable costs TO
the county. which some papers have
had as high as $4,000. Tho case
has undoubtedly been an expensive one
aud the defendants attorneys have made
q noble fight for their client. The costs
will probably aggregate 5000 or more,
but IL was necessary TO prosecute the case
and the county attorney has done so with
as little expense as possible under an un-
fortunate chain of circumstances.
