BOSTON, Sept. 30.-The State Con-
vention of the National or Gold Demo-
Gratis Of Massachusetts assembled in
this city to-day. Moorfield Storey was

upon assuming the gavel was in part
a review Of the tariff legislation of the
last Congress and of the currency ques-
ton. 1t also gave expression to unal-
terable opposition to the platform of

LUETGERT MURDER TRIAL.
States Attorney Tries to Break
Down Testimony of an Expert.


CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-There was but
one witness on the stand in the Luet-
CERT trial to-day, and at the conclu-
sion of the session the State announced
that it would in all probability keep
him on the stand for the greater part
Of tomorrow. The witness was DR..
w. H. Airport, the expert who testified
for the defense yesterday that the fe-
nur claimed by the State as the femur
of a woman is in reality the femur Of
hog.
The State had prepared a warm cross
examination for him to-day, and
toward the latter portion Of the after
noon session it succeeded in confus-
ing him and gaining from him several
contradictions of his own evidence. He
identified the skull of a dog as being
the skull of monkey, and was neatly
trapped by the State in doing so. The
attorneys of the State have consider
able feeling against Mr.. Airport, as
his testimony more than once has been
to the effect that evidence has been
manufactured by the prosecution, and
they will leave nothing undone to
break him down.
Professor Airport underwent one of
the severest cross-examinations that
any witness has been subjected to
since this famous trial began. Hour
after hour he answered questions sug-
gested in the main by Professor Dor
sey and propounded by Assistant States
Attorney McEwan. The sensational
statement of DR.. Airport at the morn
ing session of the court to the effect
that the temporal bone identified by
Professor Dorsey as being the right
temporal of a female was not a tenn
poral bone at all aroused the prosecu-
ton. The experts conclusion that the
exhibit was several bones glued to-
gether in the form of a temporal bone
suggested fraud and an attempt to
manufacture evidence, which the pros
ecution does not relish.
Assistant States Attorney McEwan
neatly caught Dr. Airport mapping dur
ing the afternoon session The expert
was requested to name q portion OF
bone handed him. After a brief exam
ination he said it was a part of the
skull of a monkey. Assistant States
Attorney McEwan Immediately asked
another question, which led DR.. ALI
port to believe that he had identified
the exhibit at the first guess, and the
expert confidently entered upon a long
dissertation relative to the similarity
of the skull in some portions to that
of a human skull After he had fin
ished Attorney McEwan reached for
the bone the expert held and remarked:
well the bone is from the skull of
dog"
DR.. Airport looked surprised, but re-
covering himself suddenly he Observed
"Well, it might have been monkey
faced dog"
This was greeted with laugh in
which Luetgert joined.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
AN ENGLISH COMPANY MAY
BLOCK THE WAY.
Said to Have Been Granted Exc1u-
sive Rights on San Juan River
and Lake Nicaragua.

WASHINGTON, Sept 30.-It is stat
ed by persons familiar with Nicara-
guam Canal affairs that either the
United States or the Nicaraguan Canal
Company Will institute an inquiry con-
cernjng the recent grant by Nicaragua
to the Atlas Steamship Company, a
British corporation, of exclusive rights
of navigation for the next thirty years
of the San Juan River and Lake Mic
aragua. These two waterways are said
to form two of the links of what will
ultimately be the Nicaraguan Canal.
The State Department recently re-
ceived a report from Consul O'Hara OF
Nicaragua, giving brief details of the
concessions granted to the British com
pany, and stating that it embraced va
rious exclusive privileges in the Silicon
Lagoon, the San Juan River and Lake
Nicarag qua. Since then additional in
formation has become available as to
the plans of the Atlas Company. The
Silicon Lagoon is said to be off the
route of the canal, and there appears
to be no reason why this should not
pass into the exclusive control of 4
British company. The excavations be-
ginning at Greytown and running west,
unite with the San Juan River, which
in turns leads to Lake Nicaragua, after
which the artificial cut is continued to
the Pacific. Under these circumstances
it is said that exclusive privileges of
navigation in these two waterways for
the next thirty years would in effect
limit the navigation of the Nicaragua
Canal.
Whether the concession makes any
exception in this regard is not known,
as the reports, including that of Con-
sui O'Hara to the State Department,
merely state that the concession is an
exclusive one.
An official familiar with Nicaragua
Canal affairs said to-day that the con-
cession would have to be construed as
subsequent to that of the canal COM
pany. and the latters rights in the
San Juan River and Lake Nicara qua.
he believed, would be fully recognized
by Nicaragua. But the danger, he
added was that when the American
eompany's concession expired two years
hence the British corporation would
succ eed under the terms of the recent
concession to all exclusive rights Of
navigation in these two links of the
canal. For this reason IT was believed
that the Government or the canal
company would take steps to learn def
initely If this exclusive privilege ex-
tended to them of navigating the lake

TROUBLE IN COAL REGIONS.
Working Miners Attacked and
Beaten by Strikers.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 30.-Early to-day
the miners employed in the Madison
Coal Company's shaft at Edwardsville,
H., who We're going to work, were at
tackled by strikers who were egged on
by women sympathizers.
The strikers threw stones and cay
enne pepper and beat the opponents
with clubs, but no shots were fired and
nobody was filled.
"Scotty" McAllison had his skull
crushed and numerous others were cut
and bruised. A clerk of the Madison
Coal Company was blinded by pepper.
The miners, who fought as best they
could with their tin dinner pals, We're
finally allowed to go to work After the
attack the strikers formed in line and
marched through. the streets of Ed
wardsville, shouting and singing. No
arrests were made.
The strikers, more than 800, with the
women, far outnumbered the workers,
who We're guarded by a force of Depu-
ty Sheriffs on their way to the mine.
Tom Cune, a Deputy Sheriff in the es-
corting posse, was disarmed and drag
ged to one side, where a crowd of irate
strikers beat him with their fists and
clubs until he was almost unconscious.
Many more of the workers and Depu-
ty Sheriffs We're injured, and several
of the strikers, including the women
accompanying them, received wounds.
Though heavily armed, the Sheriff's
officers took their drubbing without
making any attempt to use their guns.
They were outnumbered ten to one, but
they fought with their fists. Had a shot
been fired the consequences would have
been fearful, as the strikers were fren-

Guiteras reached the city early this

A mob with shotguns prevented their
further progress, and they We're ordered

During the trip they had gathered up
twanty-four reports of Health Boards,
