Special to THE HERALD.
CHICAGO H., Feb. 13.-This has been busy
day for Colonel Harrison Gray Otis OF Los Aii-
geles. The Chicago limited is at the Santa Fe
depot and will take rest. but the colonel is
just now in the thick OF the fight All day
long at the Palmer house his rooms have been
crowded with the lieutenants and sub-lieuten-
ants of the Mckinley boom. They have been
consulting with the colonel as to how the del
egations from the states west OF the Rockies
can be secured for Mac. Tho colonel has posi-
lively pledgt d California and Alaska.
The Alaska delegation, it is understood. the
colonel will name himself, as we'll as three
fourths if not all tho delegates from the Golden
state. The colonel made short address to
the lieut. enants OF the Ohio man, in which he
told them to stand fast stand firm, stand
steady. and to stand true TO ali the federal pat.
ronage that would come their way in the face
of the certain victory that was en- route. The
colonels remarks we're received with entAusi-

PHOTOGRAPHED HIS BRAIN

Three Years Careful Study Results In al
Least Partial Success-A Doctors
Dangerous Experiments

New YORK, Feb. 13.-The human brain
has been photo graphed. DIR. Carleton ST.
mon exhibits a picture of his own brain,
obtained from process in which th 9 ca
thode rays are not a factor. He has been
nearly three years in completing his ex :
periments. He tells the story of his ef-
forts as follows:
1.-THE brain has been my especial study
and have worked Independently in
quiet way for nearly three years to photo
graph it. fret sought to accomplish my
purpose by passing a continuous current of
electricity through the brain, illuminating
it by the spark, and then tried the inter-
rupted current, but this produced paralysis
of the brain, rendering senseless the sub
ject. The principle ia illustrated by flash
of lightning on dark night, which carries
images, through which it travels to the eye.
From this index it was suggested to me the
same idea might be applied to the brain
Again, you know, the FREELY is made almost

instrument by which am able to photo.
graph the brain. OF course the more solid
structures are reflected on the plates. and
I found that the less exposure | have to
the Photographic plates the easier l appar-
emily was able to photograph translucent
matter.
Though almost satisfied that the process
was one by which the brain could be pho
tograpbed without risk of life. it may be
stated that the eXperimenter selected him
self as his subject, that no other life might
be endaupered,

ON. SECOND TRIAL
Mrs. Shsttuek Acquitted Of tho Murder Of
Harry Pool

Mrs. shsttuek Acquitted Of tho Murder Of
Harry Pool
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 13.-Mrs. Jane
Shattuck was tonight acquitted Of the mur.
der of Harry Poole, for which she was tried
and convicted two years ago, and served
over year in the pententiary at San
Quentin.
The crime for which Mrs. Shattuck was
tried was one of the most sensational that
has ever taken place in this city.
On January q, 1894, Mrs. Shattuck shot
and killed young Harry Poole,her daughter
TruIy's lover. Truly sang in:the chorus at
the Tivoii and was engaged to be married
to Poole. Mrs. Shattuck became impa.
tient to have the wedding take place, and
ON January 4th compelled Truly to write
letter to Poole, telling him that her mother
was very ill and to call at the house at
once.
Poole obeyed the summons and found
Mrs. Shattuck in bed. She at once
gagement and demanded that the marriage
take place at once. Poole demurred and
was accused by the mother with being uu-
duly intimate with her daughter. While
the two were discussing tho case Mrs.
Shattuck became SO wrought up that she
drew a revolver from under her pillow and
shot Poole dead.
In the following April Mrs. Shattuck was
tried before Judge Belcher. Her attorneys
set up defense of insanity, but Mrs. Shat
tuck was quickly convicted anu sentenced
TO life imprisonment. Her attorneys ap-
pealed to the supreme court for new trial
and after Mrs. Shattuck had served over a
year in prison the appeal was granted on
technical grounds.
Mrs. Shattuck is the second person con-
victed of murder who has been acquitted
on second trial during the last two months.
A short time ago DR.. West, who was con-
victed of numbering Addie Gilmour, was
acquitted under similar circumstances.

IN THE GERMAN REICHSTAG
The TransvaaI Raid Is Still the Leading
Subject
The Emperors ressage Reflected the Public
Feeling -dermanv Has NO Designs on
Transvaal dependence

BERLIN, Feb. 13.-Dr. Hammerstein, in
the Reichstag today, speaking in be-
half of the National Liberals, praised
the government for the attitude which it
had assumed towards the Transvaal and
declared that Emperor Williams message
to President Krueger, congratulating the
latter on having suppressed DR.. Jameson's
raid, responded to the feelings of all Ger
mans, adding: 1--WE are all proud of it
and repel unjustifiable criticisms"
The minister for foreign affairs, Baron
Marschal Won Bieberstein, then reviewed
the recent events in the Transvaal and in
so doing stated the government knew abso-
lutely nothing about any request from Mr..
Kruger for the Intervention of Germany in
the affairs of the South African republic.
Marschal Won Biebersiein added that the
British government had with the utmost
energy adopted the necessary measures
after the unlawful incursion of DR.. Jame-
son, and that no responsibility rested upon
Great Britain for the bloodshed.
Continuing, the minister for foreign
affairs stated that the relations between
Germany and Great Britain had not ceased
to be normal and friendly, and he repudi-
ated the insinuations that Germany had
designs against the Independence of the
Transvaal, adding: "Such policy would
be swept away before the indignation OF
the people,"
Herr Richter, the peoples party leader,
said that the emperor's message reflected
the feelings of the Germans but, he added,
it was desirable that "such monarchical
manifestations should not become per-
manent arrangement"
Herr Bebel, the Socialist leader, consid-
cred that the message was an indirect
provocation to Great Britain ,and expressed
the opinion shat similar course would not
be ventured upon in regard to France or
Russia. This statement caused great
stir in the house, and there we're express
sions of dissent heard from several quar-
ters.
Continuing, Bebel said: 1--WE are, to q
certain extent, in Tow of Russia, when we
should join Great Britain. Austria and
Italy are not in position to afford us prac-
teal service, but Germany and Great Brit
ain would be invincible."

have been found on the east and west
coasts of Greenland and along the east
coast of Ellsmere and Grinnelland, which
from their appearance and character seem
to indicate that they had drifted from the
Siberian coasts. Other articles, such as
large stopper or plug for powder horn,
a coasting stick, cane, etc., evidently the
work of Alaskan Indians, have also been
found in the same places. Therefore the
supposition was advanced that they had
dritted across the pole down the east coast
of Greenland around Cape Farewell and
up into Baffin's bay and Smiths sound.
It was also recalled by Lieutenant
Brainerd that the relics of the Jeanette
left on the ice at the time she was crushed
were eventually found on the west coast OF
Greenland near Julian's head. 10 have
reached there, it was estimated, the relics
must have drifted at the rate of about
three miles day.
But" the lieutenant added, DR.. Nansen
seems to have disregarded, or at all events
taken his chances on anlimportant factor.

current, about which nothing is definitely
known.
II believe that not only will the Nansen
expedition prove failure but that 1t will
end in IA disaster. l think it doubtful II
Dr. Nansen will ever be heard from. l
think he has too little experience to cope
with the difficulties he will inevitably en-
counter, especially with the ice."

Ahumada will influence the officials at the
City of Mexico can only be conjectured
Meanwhile the town is filling up mostly
with steely-eyed men with broad-brimmed
hats and suspicious Jumps in the region of
their hip pockets and beetle-browed indi-
viduals from the cities. There are few of
the swell element who are generally around
when prizeflght is on the tapis. The
lieve the tedium of waits between acts at
theaters; "everything goes" from penny
ante to n gunfight, and the nights espe-
cialy are brim full of incident.
Governor Ahumada is not so fully pro-
pared to make war OH the puglists as he
said he would be. His 900 rurales, which
were to arrive this morning, turned out to
be fifteen men, and not one of them is a
rurale at that. BY actual count the COVER
nor has at his immediate command l30
mon. Of these 70 are infantry and 90
cavalry. In addition to these, the city of
Juarez can furnish number of policemen
and customs house employees. Probably
array of some 200 men in all. The river
was carefully patroiled today ten miles up
and down. Governor Ahumada this
afternoon said that he had no
intention Of patroling further down
the stream, as he thought no effort would
be made to cross the Rio Grande beyond
that limit. He also said that he had no in
tention of bringing in more troops, as he
did not consider it dignified business for
the army of Mexico to be chasing n couple
of hundred miles. This il something of a
backdown from the stand he took three
days ago, when he declared that the fight
would not come off, and that serious trouble
awaited the pugilists if they tried it. 1t will
be an easy thing to bring off any number
of fights on Mexican soil il the governor
does not extend his patrol further down
the river than twenty-five miles from
Juarez, as any number of men can make a
run across the line and run out before the
officers can reach the scene.

"l'Il tell you confidentiaily. Maher is

training quarters were surrounded by as
hard a looking set of men on horseback
and with rifles as I ever saw. They pa
trolied the house, that is, within fifty yards
of it, all night, and had the life scared out
of everybody. We learned from Deputy
Marshal Jim Boards son, who waits on us
at the house, they thought we were going
to pack up and leave for the battle-ground
and they were ready to trail us up. Neither
nor anybody in our camp is ready to die
with his boots on, and unless Stuart can
guarantee protection Maher, Marshall nor
Murphy will get into the rings"
