CHANCE FOR AMERICANS.
China Now Open for the Introduction
of Modern Machinery.

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Large oppor-
tunity for the introduction of American
machinery and investment of American
capital are offered by the peace agree
ment Japan has effected with China. A
provision is made that China shall hereafter
be open to the introduction OF all forms
OF modern machinery, and that such ma
chinery shall be admitted free Of DUTY
American cotton machinery should benefit
specially from the new opening presented
and also telephones. electric lights. print
ing presses and many other devices of civ
ilzation which heretofore have been kent
out of China. The Emperor OF China has
heretofore prohibited the introduction of
modern machinery. AS a result, the Chi
nese are using wooden plows similar 10
those used centuries ago. Modern tools arc
included under the head of machinery and
mechanical devices, so that the American
will enter China free of duty. IL is stated
that cotton machinery will be brought Al
once into extensive use. thus enlarging the
demand for the raw cotton OF the south
ern States. The Chinese use so much cot-
ton that the Emperor granted monopoly
of using cotton machinery TO the Viceroy
of the southern provinces of China He
prevented the British and Americans at
Shanghai and elsewhere from using similar
machinery Now, however. the Ficeroy's
monopoly is at an end and American ma
chinery is expected to be freely intro

Wife Had Been Poisoned in
New York.

The attorneys for William Copeland. OF
Madison. who is being tried in the Grim
inal Court for assault his brother-in-
law. William Bruning, called their first
witness yesterday morning. DIR. I. W.
Forshce. one OF the oldest physicians of
Madison, and the family doctor of the
CopeIands, was put on the stand. By him
the defense attempted TO show that when
Mrs. Copeland came back from New York,
where She lived a short time with her
brother. she was suffering from arsenical
poison. Copeland called at the office OF
Dr. Forshee shortly after his wife returned
and Put 10 him a number OF curious ques-
tions. The physician did not know that
his visitor was referring to his wife. Cope
land asked what "A disease would be called
that had such symptoms as burning SEN
sation in the stomach. stiffness of the
joints. bleeding at the nose. tightness about
the aesophagus. cramping and vomiting. DR..
Forshee informed Copeland that person
afflicted as described had undoubtedly taken
too much arsenic. Afterward Copeland told
the witness that he believed his wife had
been poisoned while i'm New York.
DIR. Forshee testified that he thought
Copeland was insane on one subject-his
troubles with his brother-in-law. The wit
ness had seen his face flush and his eyes
Sleam when he was approached on this
one subject. The witness considered Cope
land a polished gentleman and sane man
on all other matters. Charles W. Smith.
OF counsel for the prosecution. took the
Doctor through exhaustive cross-exam-
lnation. His questions chiefly concerned
mental ailments.
Attorney Allison. of Madison, late law
partner OF Copeland, testified TO the ex-
cellent character of the defendant He
remembered that his partner was a changed
man after his wife's return from New
YORK About that time Copeland was talk
ing of bringing suit against
Bruning, and the witness noticed
proposed litigation. The prosecution at
tempted to show by the witness on cross
examination that Copeland was possessed
of a hot temper. The witness was asked
fellow-students out of his room while he
was attending Hanover College. He re-
piled that he had not. Ii was asserted
by the prosecution that on one occasion
Copeland had some trouble in his room
with some of his college friends and drew a
pistol.
The witness said Copeland told him that
when Mrs. Copeland was in New York her
brother took her TO live in the same house
with his mistress. The witness also under
woman with having given her something
to drink, and she thought it contained
poison.
Didn't you understand that the woman

lated TO the family?" asked attorney Dun
can.
'I don't remember having heard that"
replied the witness
A number of Madison citizens testified
yesterday afternoon to the character of
Copeland. 1t is probable that the defend
ant VIII not be put upon the stand.
