FAIR AND PHOEBE.
Miss Cousins Gives to the Public the
Letters the Late Senator
had Written.

st. Louis. April 6.-The full CORE
spondence between James G. Fair and
Phoebe Cousins, upon which the latter
bases her contention that an engagement
of marriage existed between her and the
millionaire, has been made public. The
first intimaton of matrimony, Miss Cou-
sins asserts, was in a newspaper dispatch
handed her one day by Fair, narrating
the conjugal misery that followed the
wedding of an ideal man and ideal wom-
an, the judge who finally granted them
divorce remarking: ''The first require
ment for an ideal wife or husband is
wicked partner
s. The correspondence began July 27,
1892, and continued seemingly, to May
81, 1893. In none of the letters is Fair
affectionate, though always courteous,
kind and encouraging. 1t shows that he
loaned Miss Cousins money and told her
that whenever she needed help to call on
him. All his letters are answers to hers,
apparently, and no mention Of marriage
or love appears to be made in any of
them. His last note to her was written
from the Grand Pacific hotel, Chicago,
May 81, 1893, and is signed, Most re-
spectfuily."
It was when Fair reached the hotel at
that time, Miss Cousins asserts, that he
said to her:

rico Reta and his bride of but a few
hours were found dead in room of the
Palace hotel, to which they had retired
at , a. m. A pistol of small caliber was
found and a bullet hole i'll the head of
each told how they went out of the world
together, clasped in each others arms.
Carlo Enlico Reta, lieutenant of Italian
cavalry, arrived in this city nine months
ago. He had no means of earning a live
lihood except by giving instructions in the
Italian language. This is how he be-
came acquainted with Adele Wolf, the
girl who was found dead by his side.
His love was reciprocated by his pupil,
but her mother refused to entertain any
idea of marriage Reta was ii musician,
a gentleman by birth and breeding and
very popular in the Italian colony. He
gave up his commission in the Italian
army when he came to this country but
his card still bore his title.

INSULT BEGETS INSULT.
Gov. Clark and an Arkansas Lcgis-
lator Spit in Each Others
Face.

Little Rock, Ark, April S.-The. spec
tacle of a member of the Arkansas Legis-
lature, livid with rage, splitting in the face
OF the governor of this commonwealth,
quickly followed by a violent emission of
executive saliva upon the features of the
laWmaker and a flourish Of firearms i'll
the hands of the governor, was witnessed
in the lobby of Gleason's hotel here Sun
day afternoon and was the result of the
sensational charges of bribery in connec
ton with the railroad commission bill
sprung in the House of Representatives
the day before by Mr.. Yancey of Phil
lips county.
Mr. Jones of Union county, one of the
principals in the alteration of Sunday
afternoon, Saturday arose to a point OF
personal privilege and denounced Gov.
Clark as being at the bottom of the
charges. He said that Gov. Clark was a
demagogue and was going around like
the assassin in the night with a knife
stabbing in the back men who were his
peers. Sunday afternoon Gov. Clark met
Jones in the lobby at Gieason's and re-
quested a private interview with him.
Jones replied that ne would accompany
the governor nowhere, and that it the
chief executive had anything to say to
make it known there.
Hot words followed, and in fit of
anger Jones spat in the governors face.
Gov. Clark, trembling with anger, re-
turned the insult and quick as a flash
had drawn his revolver, and the difficulty
might have resulted in bloodshed but for
the quick action of bystanders, who dis
armed Gov. Clark.

NEED THE INCOME TAX.
II will be Impossible for the Treasury
to Meet Expenses Without
that Revenue.

Washington, D. c.. April G.-The state,
ment given out by the treasury depart
ment this week that it would be able to
meet the current expenses of the govern
ment until next December without the
revenue expected to be derived from the
income tax is mere juggling with figures
such as officials of this department have
done before 1t is the habit of the de-
partment to defer payments due at the
end of the month so as to make them APP
pear in the next months statement and
keep down the monthly deficit. This will
account for the fact that already this
month the deficit amounts to $4,6S1,31O
This added to the deficit at the close of
last month makes the total deficit for the
fiscal year to date $41, 223, 1853. This
looks as if Senator Germans prediction
that the Wilson bill will produce a'deficit
for the year of S10O.OO0,0O0 will prove
correct and effectually refutes the as
sertion that the government can get
through the present year without the reve
nue. that would be received from the in

When court convened at 1920 a. m.
Mr.. Carson, counsel for the Marquis of
Queensberry, resumed his speech to the
jury. Mr.. Carson said that he hoped he
had demonstrated that the marquis was
justified i'll bringing to a climax in the
way he did the connection between his
son, Lord Alfred Douglas, and Wilde.
Continuing, counsel said he now ap.
preached Il more painful duty. It would
be his task to call several young men who
would tell their own tales and who would
show the character of the man lay
Tor. 1t was no wonder that the Marquis
OF ((ueensDerry protested against the in
timacy between his son and Wilde. The
wonder is, Counsel said, that this man
has been so long tolerated in London So
Getty.
Mr.. Carson was continuing his terrible
Edward Clarke and others of Wilde's
counsel left the courtroom for consulta-
ton. They soon returned and Sir Ed
ward asked for permission to interrupt
the proceedings. Then. amid a most i'm
pressiye. silence. the leading counsel for
the plaintiff announced the withdrawal
of the ease on behalf of his client The
chief concern of Sir Edward Clarke
seemed to be to justify himself in under
taking the case for Wide. Counsel said
that ne wished to withdraw the suit more
especially in view of the extracts which

leon.' Mr.. Carson here interposed, say
ing that if there was to be verdict of not
guilty it also involved a verdict of justi-
fcaticn, as the cssse Of his client must sue
coed upon that plea.
The jury under instructions from JUS
tice Collins returned a verdict of not
guilty, coupled with the statement that
the justification set up as defense by the
Marquis of Queensberry was true in sub
stance and in fact and that the state
ment complained of was published for
the public good.
The verdict was received with loud ap-
plause which was not checked by the
presiding justice and the marquis was
discharged from custody, smiling and
surrounded by his friends. Shortly aft
for the arrest of Oscar Wilde was to be
applied for, all the papers in the case
having been submitted to the public pros
ecutor.
Oscar Writes Letter.
Oscar Wilde has written letter to
newspapers in which he says: 'It was not
possible to prove my case without putting
Lord Alfred Douglas in the witness box
against his father Lord Alfred was ex-
tremely anxious to go into the box, but
| would not allow it. Rather than put
him in such a painful position / deter
mined to retire from the case and bear
upon my own shoulders whatever shame
and ignominy might result from not prose-
cutting the Marquis of Queensberry."
The authorities were reticent as to what
course will be pursued but they kept
close watch of Wilde. Later in the dSy
application was made in the Bow street
police court before Sir John Bridge, the
presiding magistrate. for warrant for
the arrest of Oscar Wilde and the magis-
trate granted the application.

WHEAT CROP SHORT.

Probably $780, 900 Acres in Minnesota
will Dot be Seeded.
St. Paul, MINI, April 3.-The indica-
tons at present are that the wheat out
put of this state this year will be short
about 100000 bushels. This will re-
suit from the fact that the soil will be put
by the farmers to other uses. Probably
100000 acres of wheat lands will not be
seeded this year. The rains of Saturday
night and Sunday have put the soil IN
good condition for seeding, but more
moisture will be needed to send the grain
up and carry it through the summer.

WILDE IS ARRESTED.
Justification Sustained by
the Court.

Wilde against the Marquis of Queensber-
ry came to a sudden and unexpected ter,
mination today shortly after the third
days proceedings We're begun III the Old
