Action of the Senate Committee ON
Foreign Relations.

Foreign Relations.
WASHINGTON, March 1s-The Senate
committee on foreign affairs decided to-day
to stand by the agreement reached by the
Senate conference and to support the House
Cuban resolutions as substitute resolutions
on the same subject. The committee was
not unit on the proposition, but ii was
carried by a safe majority. The discussion
in the committee indicated that most of the
members preferred the Senate form of reso-
luton. but there was placed against this
argument that of expediency, and this line
of reasoning won the day. Among the OBJ
jections made TO the House declaration
were those based on the grammatical con-
struction and the reference to this coun-
try's commercial interest in the Cuban
question. These blemishes were generally
admitted, but ii was contended on the
other hand, that the House was welded to
its expression. and that IL might be even
more difficult TO get that body to accept the
Senate resolutions than il is proving to be
TO get the Senate to take those of the
House. 1t was also contended that the
principal objection in the Senate was not
so much to the House resolution as 10 any
expression whatever. Senator Sherman. as
chairman of the committee, was requested
to keep the Cuban question well 10 the
front as possible and to get vote at the
earliest practicable date.

MlLLIKEN ON TRIAL
CASE OF SENSATIONAL INTEREST TO
WASHINGTON SOCIETY PEOPLE.
Young Tennessee "Blood" Accused Of
Entering His Sweetheart's Room
af Night with Base Purposes.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The frequently
deferred trial o. Benjamin H. Milliken. a
well-known young Tennesseean. accused of
house-breaking July last, with intent to
commit a rape on Miss Gertrude Phillips.
daughter OF ex-Solcitor-general Samuel F.
Phillips, and well known In society, began
in the Criminal Court to-day. The court
room was crowded in the expectation that
there would be sensational developments.
Milliken pleaded not guilty, and thereupon
the prosecution and defense outlined their
course. District Attorney Birney said he
would prove that Milliken called at Judge
Phillips's house on the night of July last;
that Miss Phillips refused to see him and
sent down to him a number of gifts ne had
presented to her. Mliken then went away,
and about / o'clock the next morning Miss
Phillips was awakened by a slight noise and
an odor Of what she thought was chloro-
form. The government contended that as
the door was locked, AIiliken must have
entered the room early. The screams of his
daughter aroused Judge Phillips, and he
found Milliken on the roof of a rear shed.
Ex-Solicitor-general John Goode, counsel
for the defense, contended that Milliken was
not In mental or physical condition to
have committed the offense charged. There
was no intention, he said, to reflect on Miss
Phillipss character. His client, not realiZ-
Ing his condition. had called on the young
lady, and, though she excused herself he en-
tered the parlor unnoticed by the family and
fell asleep. When he awoke he supposed he
was at his own home and retired as he
thought to his room, learning his mistake
only when he recognized Judge Phillips.
The first witness was Judge Phillips, who
testified that he was aroused shortly after
midnight by his daughters screams, found
her in convulsions, and then discovered a
man in the closet who later escaped to a
rear roof and proved to be Milliken.
Miss Gertrude Phillips and her elder sister
testified substantially to the same effect. and
also to the fact that Mlliken was frequent
caller. Miss Gertrude admitted that she and
Milliken had been In love with each other.

Chairman Jones, of the State central COM
mittee, at 12:30 this afternoon. The Acad-
emy of Music was packed to the doors by
delegates and spectators, making the most
enthusiastic political gathering ever held in
this city. Secretary Ewing announced that
there was not a contest between any OF
the delegates, and the reading of the list
of delegates was dispensed with. John G.
Esch, of La Crosse, a popular young Re-
publican, was chosen chairman of the con-
vention amid applause. In accepting the
honor Chairman Esch said protection and

issues, but would be living issues until they
had been settled, and it remained the high
duty of the party which proclaimed ard de-

settled right. The Republican party's fnan-
cial history in the past was sufficient guar

CANNOT TELL A SECRET.


GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, March 1s.-An i'm
portant decision has been handed down in the
Circuit Court in the case of Thum Brothers
against Appolonius Floczynski. which has
been pending for some time. The plaintiffs
are the inventors of sticky fly paper, and
have had a monopoly of the trade for many
years, because Of the sole knowledge of a
secret formula in its preparation. The de-
fendant was formerly employed by the COM
pany. and learned the secret of the trade.
The company was offered large sums of
money for their secret. and when they re-
fused to part with II, an opposition firm
hired Floczynski away from them and soon
began the manufacture of fly paper. Thum
Brothers began suit TO restrain their former
employe from divulging their secret, and the
court has issued permanent Injunction re-
straining him prayed. 1t is held that the
firm has the sole right TO 1t. and no employe
can give ii away. Out of large force en-
gagged in the factory, however. there are not
three persons who know the formula.

MADISON, Wis, March 1s.-Judge Se-
becker to-day denied the mandamus asked
by the Commercial Telephone Company to
compel the Western Union TO admit the in

Union offices. The judge says this case diff
fers radically from those wherein COM
mon carrier had been compelled TO offer the
same rights and privileges to the public that
it had offered by means of its relationship
to another common carrier. The telegraph
company might deliver or receive its mes
sages its own terms and stipulations as
long as they were reasonable. The fact
that 1t did so for the Bell Telephone Com
pany was a personal privilege or right Ii
might exercise ii may see fit. For these

Taken to the Supreme Court,

The case Of the st. Louis supervisors
is to be taken to the supreme court.
The city of st. Louis will be represented
by L. w. Whitney and the county by
Stone and Leet. The board met Mon
day in pursuance to decision rendered
by Judge Daboll sustaining the right of
the four supervisors elected from that
city, to set as members of the board. His
decision was made after a careful exam
ination of the evidence produced by both
sides to the controversy, and the decision
rendered that st. Louis was law abid-
ing and law governed city, and that the
four supervisors were elected strictly ac-
cording to law and as such entitled to
seats and as competent to do business as
those elected from other parts of the
county. The power behind the throne,
however, was not satisfied with the de-
cision of Judge Daboll, and the case
was appealed yesterday to the supreme
court

by lamp, which works automatically,
so that when the temperature is about
l04o, the current is shut off. The
position of the eggs is changed by "a slide
which works automatically. There is a
brooding house where the little chicks
are kept for several days, when they
are allowed to run about a little park,

A LIVELY CAUCUS
Was the One Held by the RepupIi-

cans of Arcadia.
The republicans of Arcadia township
met in caucus last Friday to select dele
gates to the county convention. The
caucus was the most exciting and lively
one held in many years, and the attend
ance, perhaps, the largest.
The Pingree men were out in full
force, with a cut and dried plan which
they were sure would sweep everything
before it. They had prepared a neatly
printed list of delegates, and all that
was necessary, in their opinion, was to
hand these ballots around, and their
men would be elected. Subsequent
events, however, proved that the "best
laid plans of mice and men oft gang
awry."
9. f. Brown called the caucus to
order DR.. E. A. Bagley was called to
the chair, and Seth Tubbs made temper
ary secretary. The motion to make the
temporary organization permanent was
decided in the affirmative by yea and
nay vote. John d. Spinney, who was
little ratified, objected to this and ap-
pealed from the decision of the chair. A
heated debate followed, and the ques-
ton was finally decided by ballot, and
the chair sustained in its decision. An
exciting scene occurred as this ballot was
being taken, when Joe VOught attempt
ed to cast his vote. His vote was chal-
enged, on the ground that he was not
a republican. The right of others than
republicans to vote i'll republican

ever disgusted with republican rule.
Several other votes were challenged, but
i'll each case, the voters swore their votes
i'll, and the ballot, as has been said,
sustained the decision of the chair.
After the ballot had been taken, the
caucus proceeded with the work of
electing delegates, and the result was
as follows: b. S. Webb, John Rush.
