mauy years to the study OF handwriting.
He was certain that the Will was In one
niece when he first saw 1t.
The witness was given the letters written
BY Judge Holt, aud which have long sin e
been introduced in evidence. He had ex-
amined them and Compared them With the
will. He said Judge Holt wrote very
erratic hand, the slant sometimes being
to the right aud at other times to the
left, while again the letters would be
vertical.
Mr.. HAYS OPINION.
"How does the general appearance of the
writing in the will compare with that in
the letters?"
at compares favorably and indicates
that the writer of the letters was also the
writer of the will. The paper gives no
evidence OF a copied or feigned hand"
"How can you tell feigned hahd:''
by the nervous, cautious hand Of the
writer"
do you find any evidences OF tracing?"
''None at ALL
'How is tracing doue?''
"Generally by placing the paper against
window pane. In other cases by placing

"How does the will compare with the
letters you have examiner"
s'I find the same characteristics in the
will that are seen in the letters"
Mr. Hay occupied the remainder or the
afternoon with lecture on handwriting,
pointing out the many little characteristics
where, in his opinion, the handwriting in
the will coincided with that iu the letters
written by Judge Holt.

Moonlight Rides to Indian Head Fri
day and Sat turday Evenings at $50.

There is something intensely fascinating
about moonlight on the water. 1t seems
entirely different from the moon that shines
down on the city-larger, brighter and
far more beautiful. 1t is a silvery moon,
indeed, and were the moon that will shine
on Friday night on the Potomac to appear
the same at st. Louis, it would fill the souls
of the 'I6 to - advocates with Joy.
Those who have made it a point to take
the Indian Head trip on the steamer Mac
alester in the moonlight will be glad to
know that, the Weather Bureau permit
ting, there will be moonlight oD the Po-
tonIac on Friday and Saturday evenings
during the entire Indian Head ride.
Steamer Manchester leaves at $50, stop
ping at Marshall Hall both ways, and
leaving for the city at $50. For those who
enjoy dancing more than moonlight Prof.
Schroeder's band will play all the popular
airs at Marshall Hall during the time

Those who go to Marshall Hall on the 10

AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE.
Nine. Stambuloff Had Surprise in Store
for the Mixed Tribunal

Sofia, Dec. 2S.-(Copyrighted, 1896, by
the Associated Press AS cabled exclu-
sively to the Associated Press last night.
Nine. Stambuloff, widow of the murdered
ex-premier of Bulgaria, whose alleged as
sassins are on trial here, made a short
but impassioned speech yesterday before
the mixed tribunal, which is hearing the
case. Nine. Stambuloff, when the trial
was begun, declined to attend, but in
response to repeated requests she attend.

widow rose with great dignity and speak.
ing in voice shaking with emotion, she
said:

known to be the real assassins of my late
husband. You know them, Mr.. Presi.

the alleged murderers of her husband:

This accusation from the widow of the
great Bulgarian statesman, known as the
Bismarck of Bulgaria, made a deep i'm
preston upon the audience, which was
composed of people belonging to the high
er ranks of society. The presiding

judge and public prosecutor were so I'M
nerved by the terrible earnestness of the
woman, who thus forcibly denounced the
methods employed in the trial of the al
legged murderers of her husband, that they
were unable to put single question to
her and she left the court room picture
of grief, demanding vengeance from Il
tribunal of which she knew so we'll that
little or nothing could be expected.
The address of Nine. Stambuloff is a
matter of general comment in the gov
eminent newspapers today. But the key
note of their remarks, taken from the
leading organ of the ministry of Prince
Ferdinand is that the wife and friends
Of M. Stambuloff ought to have taken
measures for the protection of the man,

AN AGREEMENT WITH SPAIN.
Olney and De LONE Have Settled til,
Cuban Question.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The Post tomor-
row will say:
1t has been learned from an authori-
tative source that Secretary Olney and
Senior Dupuy de LONE. the Spanish min
lister, have practically terminated the ne
gotiations on the Cuban question which
are to be submitted to congress when IL
convenes January ). The terms of the
agreement are based on the recent Off
cial communication from Premier Cano-
vas, addressed ito the secretary of the
state department.
The premier states clearly the terms
which Spain will accord to the insurgents
and practically asks the United States to
subjects. In return for our good offices,
Spain assures this government that she
sincerely deplores the great commercial
loss which we have sustained on account
of the Cuban disturbances. She assures
us that she is even now considering a
reciprocity treaty which will deal mainly
with Cuban products and which will be
framed in such advantageous terms
toward this government that our losses,
both in commerce and in the destruction
of American property in Cuba, will be
most generously compensated.
Premier Canovas says that Spain can
not, of course, as a self respecting and
respected nation, stand before the world
as having been coerced into measures
| by the United States. She has freely
granted all she now offers, and in the
| face of rebellion. But she accepted
the good offices of the United States tc
act as mediator and to guarantee to the
insurgents amnesty and the enforcement
of the new reforms which she is about
to proclaim in Cuba. The form of gov
eminent offered is, the Spanish states
men declare. the limit of independence
which can be granted to a province by
any nation without absolutely severinG
the bonds of union with the mother coun
tries. Autonomy as enjoyed by the Ca
:, nadians can never be granted to Cuba.

The Reforms Very Liberal.

London, Dec. 2S.-The Paris cores
pendent of the Times this morning tele-
graphs his surmises of opposition by Eu-
ropean powers to intervention by the
United States in Cuba. He says:
THE Austrian court and government
have long been uneasy over the attitude
of American jingoism towards Spain, and
such has long been the subject of diplo-
matte talks. The queen regent of Spain
is one of the most beloved princesses of
the Austrian house.
'The love and respect she has won
from the Spaniards has strengthened the
affections reserved for her in her own
family and there will be no hesitation in
demonstrating that affection whenever it
becomes a question of defending the in
terests of the country, whose honor she
protects with enthusiasm and which has
become as dear to her as if she had been
born on its oil.
The Chronicle has a Rome dispatch
which says:
''Spain has questioned England. France
and Italy as to their attitude in the event
of war between Spain and the United
States. France and Italy replied indef-
ntely, that everything depended upon
the course of England
Italy can not afford to assist Spain
elsewhere without promising to assist
Spain against the United States. | am
informed that negotiations are continu-
ing between Spain and the European cab
inets. The Vatican absolutely favors the
Spanish cause. King Alfonso has writ

pope asking for his prayers for the sue
cess of the Spanish army"
