Spaulding was riding on the engine with

Higgins and Stewart jumped. but Spauld-

stood ready TO let go. When the crash
came and the big locomotive began to tot

VERDICT FOR FIVE THOUSAND.
Mrs. johnson Gets Damages for the
bogus Marriage.

In the district court yesterday in the case
Of Julia Ann Johnson VS.. August Mall, for
damages growing out OF bogus marriage,
the jury gave the plaintiff verdict for
$4,000 by default.
Mrs. johnson was a widow IN 1895, when
she met Mall. and engaged to marry him.
The day for the wedding was set.
on the appointed day Mall appeared with
man whom he represented To be County
Clerk Dupree and producing marriage
license some sort of a ceremony was gone
through. There was some conversation in
German, some beer drinking. some music
and then the couple were pronounced man
and wife. Mrs. Johnson had been married
before and the rites. as then performed,
did not coincide with her recollection Of
the previous ceremony. and she made OBJ
1ectlons. She was told that this was a
German wedding and that all Germans We're
married in that way. Suspecting no harm,
she accepted this explanation. and the two
lived together as man and wife at the Ire
mont hotel till the following Monday. when
Mall left her, stating that he would return
In two days. He stayed away two weeks,
and short time after this left her again.
This time he never came back any more, -
and she has not since seen him.
When she found that the wedding cere-
mony was a bogus one and that her sup
posed husband had deserted her. she !nsti-
tutei suit for damages

THE RODRIGUEZ LETTER.

Arbitration Trenfv

NToitTNIOu treaty.
Washington, January 23.--Senators gem
orally realize that the communication OF
Minister Rodriguez in regard TO the Near
aqua canal franchise, which was sent to
the senate yesterday, is liable TO have I'M
mediate effect upon not only the canal bill
but also upon other pending and probable
legislation, including the general Anglo
American arbitration treaty.
Senators generally express the opinion
that the first consequence will be to send
the bill back TO the committee on foreign
relations. 1t is a matter OF conjecture how
long the bill Will remain in committee IL
recommltted but In that event 1t is CON
sidered probable that It could not be re-
ported in time TO be considered during the
present session.
Quite as important as the effect upon the
Nicaraguan canal bill itself IL the influence
which the communication Is likely to have
upon the arbitration treaty.
New York senators believe the new posi-
tion assumed by the Central American pow
ers IS the result OF British influence, and
the effect Is to cause those who hold this
belief 10 stand aloof from any alliance with
England. Members of the committee on
foreign relations freely express the opinion
in private conversation that the effect OF
the communication VIII be entirely against
the treaty. The committee on foreign rela-
tons will hold speclal meeting Monday
TO take ur the treaty.

IT. Only the dealer and the brewer
would be affeetsI slightly A slight
revenue duty on tea. It Is believed, would
give Incidental protection and stimulate
tea.growlng in this country
In many parta Of the United States the
soil and climate are well adapted to tea
growing and considerable quantity Is
already produced. There are great pos
aibiiities fg the industry, and Il can be
produced here cheaper than the foreign
article can be Imported. Much Of the
foreign tea is adulteraled. though that
evil does not prevail now to SO great an
extent as formerly, and should the in
dusEy be developed to large degree in
the United States, state laws would
doubtless prevent its adulteratlon, so
that our pure home teas would have a
great advantage over the doubtful I'm
ported article
The consumption of tea in this country
Ia enormous and should the culture be
entered upon on a large scale in those
sections favorable to It's success, very
large amount Of money that now goes to
India, China and Japan would remain at
home. A duty would prove an imme-
diate source of revenue, would, on ae-
count OF the competition in the tea trade

OF all the foreign countries that have
protested against the new tariff law the
position OF Japan Is the most untenable-
Like the other countries protesting
Japan is inspired by selfish motives but
in her case the selashRess goes TO the ek-
IRENE limit. 1t should occur to the minds
of American citizens. who use as free
trade argument the fact that other ma
tons protest against our duties, that
they would not protest II 1t were to their
interest not 10 do so. II our tariff were
good thing for them by letting into our
markets their cheap products they would
not object, but unfortunately for them 1t
II being made for our own benefit and
not theirs, and that's where the shoe
plnches." The American sympathlzers
with them should have prohted by the
experience OF the past four years.
In the case OF Japan the minister OF
that country at Washington has hled
protest Ih.whIch he says In part:
AS have had the honor TO state, the
Imperial government nv go $500
ing in a belief for which they flnd no
warrant In the cordial attitude always
maintained by the United States toward
Japan, but. nevertheless. they DO mol
think it either wise or prudent to ignore
a sentiment which. under certain CIR
cumstances, might have a most unfortu-
nate eject upon the relations OF the TWO
countries. They hope, moreover that II
will not be forgotten that this feeiits
may be attributed In some degree to tne
fact that no article OF American importa-
lion to Japan pays at present anything
more than a nominal duty, and TO fur-
Their circumstance that the legislature Oh
japan has already slgnlRed Its intention
of hereafter levying only the most mod
erate imports upon American commerce
Now, the peculiarly unreasonable at
titude OF Japan lies In the fact that she
has absolutely no cause for complaint
against any sort OF a tariff we may see fit
to adopt for our own protection. The
statistics OF our imports and exports for
the past seven years, both under the Nc
Kinley and the Wilson bills, show that
the trade between this country and
Japan has been enormously in Japans
favor. Here are the figures:
