Not Reported.

Yawls Leave the Milwaukee Crib and Have
Not Reported.
MILWAUKEE, Feb. S.-Somewhere out
in the lake nine men are supposed to be
adrift in two yawls that left the North
Point pumping station last night. The
first yawl boat is manned by four men
who came in from the crib for supplies
and started back with provisions. 1t is
supposed this boat failed to reach the
crib and that it drifted out toward mid
lake with its occupants.
Az o'clock last night u second yawl,
manned by five volunteers, went out t.
the crib in answer to distress signals
This boat also has not been heard from
again, and 1t is supposed that it also failed
TO reach the lake end of the intake tunnel
The fireboat Foley, having in tow q crew
of volunteers in the surf-boat, left the
harbor at S:i5 p. m. was seen to com.
lnunicate with tho men on the crib and
then steamed out in the lake In south
easterly direction.
The names of the men adrift as nearly
as could be learned are: Allen, Gov
ernor' Bassett, James Cadin, - Barry
John DAILY, Jermiah Fallen, "Slim'
Welsh, and two unknown men. The
men are all miners employed at the shor,
end OF the tunnel.

passed. Ifanything was to be done new
bill would have to be brought in. as the
bill voted upon is beyond recall All
other Democrats who were for the bill
said that this was the end of anything in
the way Of financial legislation. There
was some talk of Democratic caucus,
but that did not seem probable. The gen.
eral impression prevailed that there would
now be another bond issue without delay.
Ex-Speaker Reed, who tried to make
an explanation on the floor of the house,
made a brief statement to the press. He
said: Il had, with the support of all the
Republicans, presented proposition
which the ruling powers saw fit to refuse.
Nevertheless, l had gone further and
voted for bill which contains things l
do not approve Of, simply to enable the
matter to go to the senate in hopes that
something might be done. The bill has
failed. l now desire to suggest that l
have no doubt this side of the house would
vote for the second section of my substi-
tutc or any other proposition which had
any practical chance of passing"

WASHINGTON, Feb. No news what
ever has been received by the state depart.
ment here concerning either the reported
capture or subsequent release of a hunting
party from the United States steamer
Concord by engraged Chinese near Chin
kiang. Officials are therefore inclined
to think that the whole affair
has appeared in America in n more
serious light than at the place OF
its occurreDce (assuming that public re
ports have been accuratc). They think
that if any ChincH were shot it is quite
likely that the Chinese, following theiI
usual custom, merely created more OF
less disturbance over 1t in order to get
pccuniary reparation for the injury done
and that this was capable of adjustment
on easy terms.

RATHER CURIOUS LEGAL TACTICS.
Counsel for the State in the Hayward Case
Makes a Sensation.


Makes n Sensation.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb S-The defense in
the Hayward case called Claus Blixt to
the stand again and asked him whether
he had not gone on Nov. ? with two other
men to the Arnold hotel on Central ave-
nue., rented rooms and registered as
"Arnc w. Teller, Wally City" Blixt
said it was the biggest lie he ever heard.
The matter was brought up after court
adjourned at noon in a rather sensational
manner by County Attorney Nye. who
approached Attorney John Day Smith,
and declared that the entire story was II
put up job.
Now mark you, John Day Smith" and
the counsel for the state shook his finger
threateningly in the face of the attorney,
81 know you. You are a neighbor of mine,
and believe you to be a man of honest
intent. but just as sure as you live this thing
is going to be exposed 1 will drive every
pin in this thing right straight to the bot
tom. I'm going to do it, sir, in this case.
I'm going to show just how this thing was
done, and you can depend upon ii" The
county attorney asserted strongly that the
story being put in to show collusion on
Blixts part with the green goods people
was an invention and a disgraccful at
tempt to defeat justice.
There was an episode in the court room
when Harry Hayward for the first time
since his arrest sa y his brother Adry, who
has confessed. Harry's eyes slowly mar
rowed as he looked full in Adry's face.
Then a smile spread over it, and Adry
rose half reluctantly. his hand extended
toward his brother, and the hands Of the
two brothers, pitted against each other in
the struggle for a life, met in clasp.
Adry sat down again and spoke to the
deputy. A moment later the trial COM
menced again. Erwin during the after
noon further outlined the defense in the
following questions: Wasn't it ar.
raSned by you and others to kill and mur-
der Miss Cling on the other side of Lake
Calhoun, and did not you have a gang
with you who plotted to murder her."
Didn't you or some of you strike her
with that piece of L rail and then drag
her back to the place where thesbody was
found." And did you not then or some
of you find her lying there and still
breathing and then shoot herr" Are you
not now afraid of the gang?' Blixt
answered the first three questions with Il
positive negative and the last one as fol-
lows: Il am, indeed. Its Harry's gang.
