MULTI=MURDERER HOLMES
Makes Application for Another Trial OF
His Case
The Grounds of the Motion Are Formally Set
Forth-The Question viii Be
Argued 1onday

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.-H. H.
Holmes, the alleged multi-m urderer, who
was recently convicted of the murder of
B. F. Pitzel, today through his counsel
filed reasons for new trial. The grounds
laid down which will be argued next
Monday, are: That the verdict was
against the law and evidence; that the
district attorney in his opening speech
made statements which related to other
crimes which could not pe made part of
the evidence. and that they we're of such
"a terrible nature that their effect on the
Jury was so adverse to the defendan tn t
it was i'm possible for them to decide
purely upon the evidence in this case
that the district attorney in his closing
speech mentioned the death OF the chill
dren and the finding of their dead bodies
in the morgue; that the Court erred IN
allowing Mrs. Pitzel to testify or state
what her husband had told her; in not
allowing Mrs. Pitzol to testify of her own
knowle ledge to the dnings and troubles Of
her husband in Terre Haute, Ind. III al
lowing the testimony of Mrs. PItzei relat-
ing to the bottle of nitrc-gl yoerine; in
ruling that the Defendants wife was a
competent witness in allowing evidence
Of the whereabouts and finding their
bodies in Toronto; lin permitting jurors TO
enter the box upon their statement that
they had formed or expressed an opinion
regarding the guilt or innocence of the
defendant: in charging the jury by CIV
ing undue prominence to the evidence
favorable to the common wealth and not
sufficient prominence to the evidence
favorable to the prisoner.

GREAT BRITAIN'S REASONS
For Desiring q Slice Of the Territory
in Alaska
A Little Variation Of the Boundary Line
VIII Give to England Valuable
Harbor Facilities

WASHINGTON, Nov. l3.-Arthur De-
laney of Alaska, United States circuit
judge or tho territory and collector OF the
port OF Sitka during President Cleve-
lands first administration, points out a
new reason for Great Britains' effort to
secure Alaskan territory.
He says that the Canadian Pacific rail-
road is back of the scheme by which
England will get port at Pyramid har-
Dor and control the Yukon river. The
new British boundary line, he says,
swerevs whsn it reaches Mt. Windham to
the west. The reason is obvious. for, as
il runs, England acquires an end of the
inland passage. BY cutting Off this nice
slice of territory. England would get the
terminal of deep-sea navigation, Pyramid
harbor, Chilcat, and the beginning OF the
Yukon trail, which would give them
vast hold over Yukon valley.
If successful in her claims, | t is obvious
that England will control the key to a
large proportion of tie most valuable ter
rItory of the United States. In acquiring
the entrance to Chilcat pass and the trail
England would own the only known
way OF reaching the gold. except ~ Der.
ing sea and entering the Yukon river at
its m outh and ascending il, this being
a distance of $500 lies to Forty-mile
creek and Circle City, now the principal
camps in Yucon basin.

PAULSELL'S PRETTY PLEA
Was Not Appreciated by a Hard
Hearted Jury
The Bold Faro Bank Robber Is Convicted,
Somewhat to the Surprise
of His Friends

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-William
E. Paulsell. the daring young man who
in February OF last year made desperate
effort to rob the faro bank kept by Car
roll, Ross & Weber on Market street,
was convicted of robbery today in Super
ior judge Belcher's court.
This was Paulsell's second trial, tine
first having resulted in disagreement
OF the jury His conviction was a sur
prise to his friends.
One ballot was all that was necessary.
Paulsell's crime was among the sensa-
tons of the times, being admittedly one
OF the boldest attempts at robbery in
local criminal annals. Shorty after mid
night he entered the gambling rooms
heavily armed and disguised in long
ulster and masked, ana ordered the
dealer, James Hulseapple, to throw up
his hands. The latter obeyed and Paul
sell grabbed all the money in sight,
$4755, and decamped.. The PLAYERS we're
so frightened that they did not offer to
intercept the robber. But Paulsell did
not consummate his hold scheme. He
was captured ON the street by the police
and was taken to Jail.
The prisoner presented q queer defense
at his trial. He declared that he was
passing along Market street when two
men rushed out of the gambling house,
forced an overcoat upon him, in the
money. forced him to take a revolver and
mask and then fled. This was how, he
said, he happened to be in possession of
all the damaging evidence against him
self when captured. Sentence will BIZ pro-
nounced on the 23d inst.

JAPAN'S NEW MEN=OF-WAR
Will Cost About Two Hundred Millions
OF Dollars
The Contracts to Be Divided Among the Sew.
erai Nations, to the Cementing Of
National Friendships

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 49, Although
Japanese officials have denied that the
mikado will spend $500, COZ, 900 in war
ships, it Is reported in advices by the
steamer Coptic today that ten vessels are
to be built abroad. and that possibly the
orders for them will be equally divided
among the shipbuilde:s of England.
France, Germany, Italy and the United
States.
Count Okuma is IN favor of such dis
tribution OF prizes, and says in relation
to orders for men-of.war from abroad
that it would be advisable to give the
contracts to any country that is capable
OF constructing good vessels Of new style,
without limiting the orders to any one
in particular. Leaving aside England
and France, which are known as mari
time powers, the country should pay re-
gard to Italy, although her shipbuilding
capacities are not much known to Japa-
nese. She Is the power which originated
the idea of building men-of-war of 10. 600
tons, and thus comm FENCED @ new era in
the construction of war vessels.
Count Okuma further says:
Next let us look to the United States,
the excellence Of her iron work, the sta
bllitv of the mon of-wsr built by her and
tho richness in scientific design are not
only what Americans are proud Of, but
even the old countries of Europe recug-
nize these facts. Moreover. as the United
States is our best customer in trade. and
as her friendship is warm, she is also q
power to whom contracts should be given.
Besides these two countries are Enl gand,
France and Germany, which each boast
OF their speciality. So that if zen ships
are to be built abroad and the orders are
equally distributed one these five pow
efs, two to each, il would arouse compe-
tition between them ana result in the
EN- pire's interest"
