TROUBLE BREWING.
The Students Of q WOman's College
Forbidden to Read the Newspaper
Containing the Evidence
In the Pollard. Breckenridge Breach Of
Promise Case as the Evidence Is
Considered immoral.
The Girls Like to Read 1t and Are in
Open Rebellion Against the OrderO
SURPRISING the Newspapers.

CHICAGO, April There is trouble
brewing among the students at the
woman's college of the Northwestern
university in Evanston. The young
women are not allowed to read those
papers from which all accounts of:.the
Breckenridge Pollard case have not been
clipped, and as a consequence many
harsh words have been eaid and many
indignant tears have been shed. Three
weeks ago the newsboys in Evanston
suddenly experienced a boom of bust
ness. Every morning and evening the
carriers staggered toward the woman's
college under huge piles Of papers and
returned empty handed. just what it
was the girls were interested IN was for
a time only surmised, but it has leaked
out that it was the racy accounts
of the famous breach of promise
case that the young women were after.
Saturday night the dean, Emily Hunt
ington Miller, and her assistant sur
prised a room full of young women lis
tening with bated breath while one of
their number was reading the most SEN
sational part Of Col. BreckInridge's con
f~ession. When the newsboys went heav-
lily laden to the college the next morning
they were unceremoniously elected by the
%janitor without the sale of a paper. The
girls have not since been allowed to see
a paper except those out OF which all
reference to the case has been clipped
and they are indignant.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Opinions Relative to the C0nstruc-
tion and Ownership Of the
ta Canal.
Gov. McGraw Of Washington Says the
United States Should Construct
and Control It.
Gov. Hegg Of Texas Says the Govern.
ment Sheuld Prohibit Foreign or
Private Interference.

BosroN, April THE Traveller Of this
city, which has been an earnest advocate
Of the Nicaragua canal, recently sent out
letters toithe governors Of the various
states and prominent members of con-
gress asking opinions as to the value of
the canal to the country, and whether
or not the government should construct
and control the water way. Answers
have been received from thirty-one gov
ernors and forty members of congress
and are printed today. The governors
of the southern states without exception
either favor government building and
owning the canal outright, or extending
aid to whatever corporation builds it.
Gov. Waite of Colorado says: "The
United States government, in con-
junction with the Central Ameri.
can republics, should build the
canal at national expense" Gov. Nc
Graw of Washington believes that the
United States should construct, own, and
operate the canal. Gov. Hogg Of Texas
takes very pronounced grounds against
the United States fostering such enter
prises while under private control. He
says: "This government should prohibit
foreign Or private interference with the
canal and should construct, own, and OPP
crate it itself" Gov. Lewellyn of Kan
sas declares it is desirable that the
United States should own and operate
the canal as the exclusive property Of
the United States.

THE wEIsE MURDER CASE.

Jury Secured and the Case stated-The-
cries of Both Sides.
MARsHALLTowN, Ia, April GA jury
has been empanelled in the Weise MUIR
der case. County Attorney Carney
stated the case to the jury for the pros
ecution, and o. Caswell for the defense.
Bitterness. engendsred by a motion by
the counsel for the defendant to have
the sheriff and deputies oustsd, almost
led to an open rupture between counsel
during Caswelrs address, and caused a
commotion in court. The theory Of the
state is that Mrs. Bennett believed that
Miss Weise was immoral; that she was
scheming to ruin the defendants young
son; that the two had planned clandes-
tine meetings. at one of which Mrs.
Bennett murdered the girl.
The defense, however, claim they can
disprove all this, and establish the fact
that the relations between all the par
ties were most friendly, and that Mrs.
Bennett was in bed at home when the
tragedy occurred.

Mr.. Wolverton Has a Bill to Change the
Present Law Materially.
WASHINGTON, April "a bill intro
duced in the house by Mr.. Wolverton
Of Pennsylvania abolishes the office of
United States circuit court commits
sioner, and repeats all laws authorizing
appointments thereto. The attorney
general is authorized to divide the states
and territories into so many commits
sioner districts as he may deem neces-
sary to secure the speedy execution of
the laws, and to change the boundaries
into new districts when in his
opinion the proper administration of
justice may require it. The president
is authorized to appoint on the nomina-
ton of the attorney general, a sufficient
number of commissioners in these dis
tricts to insure speedy and convenient
hearings and trials of all persons
charged with offenses. They are to hold
their Offices for a term of four years,
unless sooner removed, and the ATTORNEY
general is authorized to remove such
commissioners when the proper admin.
istration of the laws shall in his opinion
require it. The commissioners have the
same jurisdiction in their districts az
now conferred on United States circuit
court commissioners, and are authorized
to try with a jury of six all offenses
punishable with fine or Imprisonment,
and on conviction or a plea of guilty, to
sentence the defendant with the same
effect as if the defendant had been
convicted in the United States district
court. They are not allowed to retain

"that this bill, if it becomes a law, will
go far towards correcting the abuses
which prevail in many states by which
large fees were retained 10y circuit cour
commissioners and marshals. They

Propeller Minneapolis and Steamer State
of Michigan Foundered.
MACKINAw, April 6.-The propeller
Minneapolis went down off McGilpins
Point at $3.50 a. lh., in 20 fathoms OF
water. Captain Bogard and the crew
of Is reached shore in safety. The Min
neapolis was "A wooden propeller Of
1910 tons, owned ly A. Parker of De-
troit. She was rated Az, was valued at
$4,000, and insured for $43, $50.
When the disaster occurred
she was on her way from Chicago
to Buffalo laden with 4S, 900 bushels
of grain. 1t is supposed that the heavy
gale that was blowing from the south.
west swung a mass of ice against her
side, staving a hole large enough to sink
her.
The steamer State of Michigan of the
Grummond line went on Kencsha reef,
20 miles north of Alpena. Tugs have
gone from here to pull her off, aud as
she lies in still water, it is thought she
will not be badly damaged.
The owners had yearly policies on the
fleet which did not expire until April
10. This was the reason why the boats
were sent out so early in the season, as
they could then get to Buffalo, discharge
their grain cargoes and lay up for better
times without paying additional in.
The loss must therefore 60 on
the already over burdened account OF
last season on the books Of the insurance

Ell RENO, o. T., April 6.-Further
kdvices from the scene Of the encounter
between the band of d~epredating In
dams and some cowboys who were herd
ing cattle, was brought here by a our
Ter who came for military assistance.
He reported that when he left the fight
was yet In progress, and that some
eight or ten of the Indians and half that
many white men had been killed
or wounded. The settlers were
rushing to the AID Of the fighting
cowboys, and had surrounded the band
Of Indians and were slowly and surely
picking them out. Two troops Of cav
airy left the fort for the scene of action
but as the distance is about 70 miles
they will not likely arrive before the
battle Is over. Most of the settlers are
well armed and accustomed to fighting
Indians and will take the opportunity
to settle old scores. The feeling toward
the Indians among the people that know
them is very bitter, and the chances are
good that many will be killed before
the troops get to the scene.

KANSAS CITY, April 5.-The Santa Fe
has made a big reduction in freight rates
from Kansas City and Missouri river
points to Texas on some of the leading
commodities. The rate on flour and
other grain products was reduced from
81 to 80 cents per hundred; from 30 to
90 cents on wheat, from SO to 10 cents
on oats, and from 81 to - cents on
corn, hay and straw. The new rates
will doubtless be met by the other lines,
and will probably result in general de-
moralization of the Texas rates.

An Iowa Case in Which There vii

MARsHALLTowN, Ia, April 5.-The
Weise murder trial has begun. and pre-
iictions that it would be a bitter legal
tight are already being verified. The
defense filed a motion that the sheriff
and deputies be barred from acting as
officers of the court, on the grounds of
being prejudiced and bribed against
the defendant. Other serious al
legations were made. The sheriff
filed a~ffidavits, however, denying all,
but the court has not yet ruled oil the
motion. There is intense interest in the
trial, probably 1000 people being unable
ven to obtain standing room in court.
Mrs. Bennett, the defendant, exhibits
remarkable self-possession and COM
posture. There is a PROBABILITY of sensa-
s%ational developments before the end Of

fKxAs CAPITOL GASES UP AGAIN.
First Important Hearing Under the I'LL
nois Arbitration Law.

First Important Hearing Under the ILL.,
nois Arbitration Law.
CHICAGO, April Ga legal proceeding
unprecedented in the annals of Ameri.
a Jurisprudence is being had before
Chancellor Tuley. At the last session
of the state legislature a law was passed
providing that whsn both parties to a
civil suit were agreed every point at is
sue might be submitted for adjudica-
ton to the presiding judge of any cir
cult court. The law gives to such
judicial officer extraordinary powers.
Not only are errors which may inter-
vene in the hearing released, but the
Judge has the same authority as the ma
Jority of the justices of the supreme
court of the United States and he can
enter judgment and decree, both to be
final, and from which there can be no
appeal. The case now being tried is
the first n of any magnitude to come
within the provisions of this remarkable
hearing. 1t is a combination of all the
suits that have occupied the attention of
American and foreign courts for over
hve years, involving millions of prop
erty and cores of individuals, and
known as the
Texas Capitol Contracts.
William Sturges and Bessie Sturges,
his wife, are the compliments, while
the defendants are John V. Far well,
Abner Taylor and the Capitol Freehold
Land and Investment company dim
ited), a wealthy London corporation
formed principally to construct the inn
mense Texas capitol building at Austin,
which is the largest structure of its
kind in the country outside of Wash
ington. John V. Farwell and the
other individual defendants were inter-
ested in the formation of the company,
IN which William Sturges also assisted,
whether in the capacity of principal or
agent is a matter in dispute. The COM
pany received from the state as COM
pensation 5000, 900 acres of land in the
Panhandle country in Northwest Texas,
which was stocked with $50, 900 cattle.
Much preparation was needed to
bring the suits to the condition neces-
sary for presentation to the judge.
Enormous masses of evidence in the
shape of dispositions have been prepared
and printed. These will be read for
the information of the court, and it is
probable that the oral testimony of nu-
merous witnesses will also be intro
duced. The arguments of the counsel
Will be written and submitted. There
was a large attendance of lawyers and
OF the general public in court for the
purpose of witnessing the Inauguration
Of the remarkable proceeding.
