commanded the caravel Santa Marie, which
was sent by Spain to the Columbian Ex-
position In this address Senior Conovas
gave his impressions of his visit 10 the
United States in language which, Minister
Taylor alleges, was offensive to the United
States government The Iinparcial asserts
that Mr.. Taylor's demand was couched in
hurtful language ''It seems TO be the acme
of sensitiveness,' the paper says. 'Our in
ternational relations show greater eriev-
ances than this the impartial adds. that
the demand is entirely unprecedented as
the geographical society before which the
address was made is not an official body,

! Lacks Corrohoration.

CINCINNATI o.. Feb. 19-The day has
been without incident in the Pearl Bryan
murder case The story of May Smith. of
Louisville, in which she says Jackson told
her of his murderous intentions toward
Pearl Bryan on Jan. ii. and wrote to her
since Feb. 1. saying the work had been ac-
cofplished, lacks corroboration Miss
Smith seems unable to produce the letter.
Inquiry by wire sent to Louisville to-day
brings back the answer that Miss Smiths
letters have been destroyed.
Every possible effort continues to be made
to cast discredit on George II. Jackson's
credibili.y. One of his principal assailants
is a colored Baptist preacher. who is serv-
ing sentence in the Ohio penitentiary.
Governor Bushnell knows the colored man
Jackson, and is reported as speaking well
of him. Detective Norris, of Springfield.
says Jackson's story is trustworthy. Mean
time detectives have found farmers living
along the route taken by that cab who re-
member hearing ii go by on that unusual
road at the st:ll more unusual hour. All
testimony in this line is corroborative of
JacksOn'S story.
Sheriff Plummer announces positively that
he will not undertake to remove jackson

after the hearing set for Feb. q in the Po-
lice Court. There has been nothing done yet

This afternoon Miss May Smith repeated

brief story that Jackson had revealed his
purpose to her at Heiders Hotel on Jan.
IA. He said Will Wood, a friend of his,
had gotten Pearl Bryan into bad fix and
he was going 10 put her out OF the way
to screen Wood. She also repeated the story
OF letter sent TO her by Jackson after the
murder, saying that he had given the girl
medicine that had killed her and then be-
headed her TO prevent recognition. As al
ready stated. the letter could not be founi.

with Meats and Fruit Preserved
by SterOIixed Air.

CHICAGO, Feb. 19--Contracts were drawn
up in Chicago to-day by means of which
it is promised that packers and shippers
of perishable food products will, in future.
get along without ice. DIR. A. IT. Perkins,
now resident of Chicago. has patented
a process of keeping meats, fruits and
perishable products during transportation
by the use of sterolized air. His patents
extend to the antipodes. The contract con-
cluded to-day was between him and j. NJ.
Smart, of Melbourne, manager of the Aus
tralian Neat Transportation Corporation,
limited, fon the use of the process in the
seven colonies of Australia.
A corporation is also about To be formed,
with headquarters in Chicago, TO control
the process over the railroad lines of this
continent and the steamship lines running
frcm the ports of North and South America
Dr. Perkins left Chicago this afternoon
for New Orleans, where the sterolized air
process is 10 be put in operation, Ii is
stated. on line of fruit steamers plying
from that port. Upon his return he will
sail for Australia.
Mr.. Smart, of the Australian Meat Ex-
port Company's corporation, is of the opin-
ion that the new process, which, he says.
will enable Australia TO ship its meat TO
Europe instead Of boiling II down 10 make
taliow, will virtually force the American
producers of dressed beef out of the Eu-
ropean market He adds, moreover, 'it
will enable Us TO ship our fruit, which
now rots for want Of market, to England
at a season when IL will command the
highest prices and annihilate the trade
which the American syndicate has been
planning for. We propose to supply the
whole OF Great Britain with meat and fruit.
Six warehouses are now being built in
London and Manchester which will serve
as our distributing points. Two OF them are
among the largest receiving warehouses in

Information was received from Cincinnati

but Mrs. Lister and the other members OF
the house strenuously denied that such was
the case
Later i'm the day the reporter interviewed
Mr.. Lister. He said that on reading the
first account of the murder OF Pearl Bryan

son and Walling, and had told Mrs. Lister
that she was engaged TO Waiiing. VAIN M When f,ea

however, that about week before SnTlss- fis.s

the operation was performed IL was per-

clared that when the girl came back to

appeared thinner and looked sickly. May
Smith is between eighteen and twenty years
of age, and has dark eyes and black hair
and is quite pretty. Mr. Lister says that a
man named swan, VINO is connected WlLil

was continually getting long letters from
Swan, Walling and Jackson. When the
locket was found in Cincinnati he heard

..sIthough it is pretty well established that
Miss Smith did receive letters from Walling.
there is no evidence that Jackson ever wrote
the letter which. she says. she ordered
burned. In fact Mrs. Lister distinctly says
the letters were not destroyed by Miss
Smiths instructions but by the laldlady's s
little girl, thus showing that Miss Smith, in
her efforts TO save Wallin9, falsified in at
least one instance.
