the Government Accept Her. :
New York, Nov. 19.-The battleship
Iowa arrived at Brooklyn lnavy-yard
this afternoon, after concluding her
final trial trip The report of the in

the 80 hours of her trial. During two
hours run at her maximum speed, she
attained 1871 knots. or about IS per

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 19.-The death
in Chicago Of John Ketchum. shortly
after marrying Mabel Wallace the
widow of John Walkup. the man for
whose murder che was tried here IL
wears ago, recalls the sensational end
ing of the case, in which Mrs. Walkup's
powerful testimony secured an acquittal
Just as everything seemed to be against
her. The prosecution claimed that
Mrs. Walkup had purchased arsenic
while en- route to Emporia, while on
her wedding trip, and that she pur-
chased quantities Of poison while in
Emporia. The sentiment OF the town
was for conviction. The climax Of the
case was reached when Mrs. Walknp
was placed on the stand. She was very
beautiful and we'll schooled, and before
she finished giving testimony the law
yers, jurymen and judge wept. and the
stenographer's eyes were blinded 90

girl who had been befriended by only
one man, captured the hearts of all who
were directly interested. A verdict OF
acduittal was rendered.

We thank Thee, Lord, for daily food.
For ali received Of daily good;
For sunshine and the songs OF birds
And melody of loving words.
We thank Thee for the books we read,
And for the books Of books we need
For hopes of earth so Sweetly given,
And for the higher hopes Of heaven.
For chiliren's voices full of love:
For the bright clouds that float above;
And for the tears we've sometimes known
For sorrows other than our own.
For loved ones here and loved ones gone,
Who stiIi. with Thee, keep loving on:
For spirit tones that softly call,
And Tor the cross that's over all.

HOPE FOR CUBAN INSURGENTS
Urged to Keep Up the Struggle FOL
Three Months Longer-GeMeral
Weyler's Coming Reception.

Havana, Nov. lS.-lt IS reported
that Marshal Blanco has received cable
instructions from Madrid to release the
prisoners captured on board the Ameri-
can schooner Competitor in April,
1895. by the Spanish gunboat Messengers,
and that they will sail today for the
United States. 1t is reported that the
instructions to the governor-general de
rect the return of the captured arms,
and of the vessel to the owner.
Admiral Navarro, it is said, was at
first inclined to disobey this instruc-
ton, and, with other naval authorities,
was disposed to resign before carrying
them out.
Hope for the Cubans. }i1
Havana, Nov. 19.-The new secre-
tary-general for Cuba, DR.. Jose Con-
gosto, formerly Spanish consul at Phil
adelphia, continues to make himself
unpopular. He has had dispute with
prominent conservative, Senior Fran
cisco de las Santos Guzman, a former
president of the congress, and he has
also had misunderstanding with Senior
Cuerto, prominent autonOmist, with
the result, it is understood, that let
tiers have been written to Madrid call
ing attention to the alleged eccentrici-
ties of the secretary general, and DWELL
ing upon his peculiar political senti-
ments. In fact, the dispute between
DR.. Congosto and Senior Guzman be-
came so heated that it nearly ended in
a most disagreeable manner, and their
conversation becoming generally
known, has been much commented
upon, and has had very unfavorable
effect upon the Spanish residents.
1t is believed here that there will be
great excitement in Spain SO soon as the
American congress meets. The letters
found on captured insurgents show that
they were recently advised to keep up
the struggle for three months longer,
pointing out that the first act OF the
Sagasta government would be the re-
moval of Weyler, and adding that war
would be made on the Spanish. minister
at Washington, Senior de LONE. 1t is
charged that Senior de LONE and DR..
Congosto are to blame for the spread in
the United States of the sentiment in
favor of autonomy, and it is even alleged
that they have induced American
newspapers to advocate this policy.
There is much excitement here at
present over the news of the landing OF
another filibustering expedition by the
Dauntless. a8

THE LUETGERT TRIAL.
Chicago Criminal Court still Strug.
Cling with the alleged Identifi-
cation OF Human Bones.

Chicago, Sept. 17.-When the trial Of
Adolph Luetgert opened today the CROSS
examination of Professor Dorsey was
resumed. He was questioned as to the
comparative nature of the sesamoid and
femur bones in calf, sheep and human
being.
His answers supported his original
Identification of the bones in evidence.
Luetgert is determined to 20 upon the
witness stand. He not only desires to
tell his story but also wants to address
the jury.
States Attorney Deneen hoped this
morning to rest his case today. II have
only two more witnesses, Frank Bialk and
Frank Odorafsby," he said, 'by them /
shall show the motive for the crime,
namely Luetgert's infactuation for Mary
Simmering."
When Attorney Vincent concluded the
GROSS examination Of Professor Dorsey,
he moved that the court exclude from the
record all the evidence of the witness and
also tho evidence of DR.. Norval Pierce,
in connection with the identi ifcation OF
the femur and temporal bones, on the
ground that the identifcations were not
based on legitimate or substantial
basis, but we're merely the opinion Of
experts based upon certain alleged con-
ditions.
The motion was overruled. The attor.
ney then moved to exclude all the eyi.
dence Of Professor Delafontaine, in which
he stated that "these may be human
bones"
This motion was allowed.
