EVIDENCE SUBMITTED.
Documents Received at New York
and will be Forwarded to
Washington.

Washington. D. c.. March 21.-The
latest mail from La Guayara contains
the long-expected addition to the case
of Venezuela as it will be laid before
the Venezuela boundary commission.
The work was undertaken at Caracas by
a volunteer commission, whose services
were accepted by the Venezuelan govern
ment and which collected all of the ma
terial accessible in Venezuela bearing
upon the boundary dispute. The mat
ter so far collected was dispatched
promptly by the home government to its
minister here, Senior Andrade. and while
the documents themselves are now in
New York, the advance mail has brought
to Washington Il complete list of the pa
pers comprised in the first installment.
There are thirty-twO copies of the orig
inaI manuscript records in the lot, but
these, after all, are of secondary impor-
lance in comparison with the large num-
Der of maps and charts that have been
gathered to sustain the Venezuelan case.
In this first lot of matter there are no
less than sixty such maps and in addi
ton there are references to almost twice
as many additional charts that may be
readily obtained. This store of materi
al will be turned over to the Venezuela
commission as soon as it can be put in
order.

MILLIKEN IS ACQUITTED.
Found Not Guilty Of Attempting to
Assault Miss Gertrude
Phillips.

Warrington, d. c., March 21.-Benja-
min H. MilIiken, for several years the
private secretary of Senator Harris of
Tennessee. was acquitted of the charge
of housebreaking with intent to commit
an assault on Miss Gertrude Phillips,
daughter of eX-SOlicitOr-General Phil
lips.
The trial has been followed with inter-
est, but developed nothing of Il really
sensational nature. The defense was
that Milliken was drunk on July 4. that
he called on Miss Phillips at her home.
that she refused to see him. that he
entered the parlor unnOticed, fell asleep
and in his drunken condition retired, as
he thought, to his room, and did not
discover his mistake until sobeTed by
hearing the screams of Miss Phillips
and her sister.
From a legal aspect, the case, which
involved Il possible maximum sentence
of fifteen years in the penitentiary, de-
pended on whether or not MiIIiken was
in such a state of intoXication that he
could not have formed the intent as
cribed to him in the Indictment
The jury was out practically an even
tWenty-fOur hours. They retired at
40 yesterday morning. The bailoting
was repeated dozen times during the
day with 8 to 3 for acquittal, when the
jurors were locked UP for the night
Twice this morning they reported they
were unable 70 agree. The first time
was at 10 o'clock, when Judge Cole sent
to the jury room to know if they had
reached a conclusion, and the latter time
was at 11:40, when Judge Cole called
them into court and urged them to agree
at once if possible and said that the
case was no. one which necessitated
any long delays. The three jurors ia
voring conviction thereupon changed
their votes and the report Of not guilty

Chicago, H.. March 20-[Special.l-
Edward COrrOuthers, tall, lank youth,

A gentleman OF methodical
habit who had adopted the practice
Of retaining a copy Of every pre-
scription issued by his family
physician, became interested as
time went on to note that the same
ingredients were pretty certain
to be prescribed at some point of
the treatment Of every case. For
a poor appetite, or a sore throat,
for restlessness which disturbed
the baby's sleep, and for troubles
which beset the aged grandparents
the favorite remedy was always
turning up, although slightly
modified from time to time and
used often in conjunction with
others. One day our friend hap
pened to observe that the formula
of q certain advertised remedy was
identical with the latest prescrip
ton he had received from his own
physician. and in some surprise
he stated the case to him. The
family doctor, after listening to
what he had to say, replied: ''The
case is about this way: Whenever
there is disturbance of the
functions of the body, no matter Of
what nature, it is pretty certain to
be accompanied by a arrangement
of the digestive organs. When they
are all right the patient gets we'll.
That particular formula that you
have observed me to write more
and more frequently is the result
Of an age of careful experiment,
and is pretty generally agreed upon
now by all educated physicians who
keep up with the times. The dis
covery of the past few years of the
means Of reducing every drug to
a powder and COMPRISING the
powders into little lozenges or
tablets, or tabules if you prefer,
which will not break Or spoil, or
lose their good qualities from age,
if protected from air and light, is
the explanation Of how it has come
about that this prescription is now
for sale as an advertised remedy.
l. is the medicine that nine people
out of ten need every time they need
any, and | have no doubt that
making it so easy to obtain, so
carefully prepared, and withal so
cheap, will tend to actually prolong
the average of human life during
the present generation"

ORE PRICES FIXED.
Standard Bessemer will Command

tailed.

Cleveland, O., March 21.-The leading
ore producers have been in secret SEES
sion here during the past two days. 1t is
announced that they have arrived at an
agreement relative to fixing a universal
schedule of ore prices for the coming
season. All the leading firms were rep
resented and the action taken will be
final. 1t is understood that the general
price Of standard Bessemer ores was
made 81 per ton, while Mesaba ores will
range from $40 to 1914 according to
quality. The most important action
taken was the decision to curtail the
shipment of Bessemer ores next sea-
son.

CHANGES IN THE ARMY.
One Thing is Certain, the Fifteenth
Infantry will be Moved
from Fort Sheridan.

Chicago, H., March 21-A specif'
from Washington says that it is learned
at the war department that Gen. Miles
has sent his report to the secretary of
war making recommendations concern
ing the annual movement of troops
throughout the country. Although the
report is closely guarded, enough has
been learned to show that it CONCENTRATES
the possible movement of the First, Sec
ond, Fourteenth, Fifteenth Sixteenth
and Twenty fourth regiments of infantry
in addition to some transfers in the cav
airy and artillery branches of the sery-
ices. Gen. Miles suggests it would be
wise to make short territorial changes
and more of them to give troops the ben
eft of service in different parts of the
country.
One of the officers of the war depart-
ment in speaking about the report said:
at looks now as if the Twenty fourth
infantry might change places with the
Fifteenth, now stationed at Fort Sheri-
dan, Ill The Twenty-fourth has been
III the West steadily ever since the war
and has been stationed in the wilds of
New Mexico and Arizona since 1888. If
the policy Of short Transfers is carried
out and Gen. Miles seems much in favor
of it, the Second infantry, now at Fort
Omaha, will naturally come to Chicago
and go into garrison at Fort Sheridan"
There is little doubt that the Fifteenth
will be changed, anyhow. The scandals
that have arisen at that post since the
Fifteenth was garrisoncd there have
caused the heads of the army much
annoyance. The attempted shooting of
Col. CrOftOn by Lieut.. Pague was only
