The laughter had hardly subsidized

is with this resolution from the COM

The senator said IL this resolution
was adopted and any American maker
of arms sold arms to Cubans he could
be indicted for breach of the neutral

as belligerents.
EuIoRy of Ofney.
At this point Senator Hoar created a
stir by an unexpected eulogy of Secre-
tary Olney. The senator led up to this
by referring to the constant meddling
of congress with foreign questions. He
referred to the Venezuelan question, in
which, however, the course of congress
had been temperate. But If 1t had been
found that the president was conduct
ing negotiations with Great Britain on
that subject then 1t would have been
well for the press and the public and
the senate to let 1t alone and allow the
negotiations to proceed through the

MORE LETTERS BY MISS ovEnMAN
Surprise In the Brown TrinI-Pas-
tors Wife Testides.

San Francisco, March 10.-The pros
ecution In the Brown case introduced a
surprise when the Congregational coun-
ell resumed its labors today in the
shape of a number of letters written
by Miss Overman, which she did not
know were in the possession of the
counsel. While testifying about the
Mrs. Tunnel letters several days ago
Miss OVerman was asked IL all the let
tiers she had written Mrs. Tunnel had
been made public. She replied that she
thought they We're all there except two
Today 10 more letters were produc ed
and Miss Overman was asked about
them. The attorney for Brown made
strenuous efforts TO have them kept
out, but he was overruled by the mod
orator.
Miss overman admitted writing all
the letters except one, which she said
had been rewritten in the same manner
as the blackmailing letters. which she
had already testified she had substi-
tuted for the original letters to Mrs
Tunnel.
Brown was unable to attend the trial
today and his attorney announced that
he was seriously i'll and 1t was feared
that his brain was affected.
At the afternoon session Mrs. Brown,
wife of the accused minister. took the
stand in her husbands defense and tes-
titled at length as to the meeting Of
Miss Overman and the relations of the
latter toward the Brown family. Mrs
Brown said her husband went to Ia
coma with Miss overman at her sug-
gestion, and since the exposure OF the
scandal Miss Overman has remained
in the house at her invitation. She said
her husband was loyal TO her and to
his home and that she knew there had
been no improper relations between
Brown and Mrs. Stockton or any other
woman. Mrs. Brown said she attrib-
uted all the sorrows of herself and hus-
band TO Mrs. Cooper, as the latter had
introduced Mrs. Stockton to them
when she knew she was bad woman.

last four years. He came originally
from Montana.
Coults was born In Scotland and
came here from Canada. He is about
4S years old and has a wife and sew
eral children. He has had considera-
BILE trouble with his neighbors and was
arrested last summer for resisting an
officer and is now under bonds to keep
the peace. The trouble originated over
disputed land. Friday Stringham was
clearing some land and Coults erected
a fence, taking in the piece Stringham
was working upon. Saturday morn
ing the day of the shooting, the fence
had been torn down, probably by
Strngham during the night.

Washington. March 1.-THE senate

resumed consideration of the bill pro-

journed without arriving at definite
conclusion. 1t was apparent that a

whether they are united on either of

rush the question to a speedy conelu-

JOHN MORRISSEY.
HIS Coffin Pate Iound Recently I'm "a
Saratog. JunN store.
From the Troy Times.

From the Troy Times
John Morrisey-Born Feb. II. 1871
Died May l, 1873" is the inscription on
a white metal coffin plate discovered in
a junk shop at Saratoga day or two
ago. The plate is in the form of an
Irish harp and bears evidence of haN-
ing been torn from the coffin. The
plate was carried to the junk shop with
other metal by boys, who disposed of
the mass in bulk.
The mystery is that the plate CORE
spends to one placed upon the casket
of ex-senator John Morrissey, who was
born in ireland, Feb II. 1881. and died
at the Adelphia hotel, Saratoga, May /.
1878, the remains being taken to Troy
for interment While the deceaseds
named was spelled Morrissey, that on
the mysterious plate reads "Morrisey,'
one IS" being omitted. 1t was at first
supposed that the plate was duplicate
of the one placed on the senator's cas-
ket, but the engraVer who lettered the
plate has no recollection that the order
was duplicated. The undertaken was
under the impression that mistake
was made i'm spelling the name and
that a second plate was engraved, the
one containing the error being cast
aside As the boys who sold the plate
are unknown to the purchaser, it will
be difficult TO ascertain where the Nor
risey' came from and where ii has
reposed during II years. The senator's
widow lives in Troy.
Mrs Susanna Morrissey, widow Of
John Morrissey, was seen at her home
on River street, just above Middleburg,
this morning. She said that she had
been i'll for some time and was suffer
ing from impaired vision. Mrs. Nor
rissey was greatly disturbed over the
finding of the coffin plate, and said she
trusted the Saratoga officers would in
Vestigate. She could not remember
whether the name Morrissey was spell
ed on her husbands coffin plate with
one IS" or with two. but she said the
proper manner was with two SIS. How
ever, Mrs. Morrissey said that had the
engraver of the plate made a mistake
| in the number of the letter 50 used il
| Is not likely that a new plate was made
as the name was frequently spelled as
| engraved on the plate. Mrs. MOrrissey
| said that no jewels were buried with
! the body. The last time she visited the
| grave in st. Peters cemetery was about
| three years ago. She had not been ac-
| customed TO go to the cemetery. as her
| husband requested that she remain
away from the grave. Mr. Morrissey
| also made a similar request after the
! death of a son. \ sister Of Mrs. Nor
| rissey was said not to remember with
| regard to the marking of the plate OF
| the style Of plate used, but the dates
| given on the plate were confirmed.
