When the United States District Court
convened yesterday afternoon, Senator
GRAY mOtioned for CONTINUANCE OF the
trial of Captain Murphy to the.noxt term
OF court. He based his motion on tine
grounds that Captain Murphy's physical
condition was not such rs warranted the
trial and on the grounds OF the absence Of
n material witness.
District Attorney Vandegrift opposed
the postponomcns on the grounds that ihe
defendant had ample timo to secure his
witnesses, and the Government Is under
u heavy expense and large Plumbers Of
witnesses are kept in this country away
from their homes in Port Antonio.
MIR Ward did not believe that The court
or Government would weigh mans lib
erty with expense. The witnesses arc
here at their own request and are witnesses
in other cases pending, including that OF
J. D. Hart, of Philadelphia.
Iu answer to questions by the court it
was learned that the absent witness
was on the steamer Lauradn and could
not get here for some months. she was
now in the north Atlantic.
Mr. Vandegrift it Is not certain If the
man can ever be brought here.

presence of the witness If in his belief he
feels that the witness is material for the
defense. In order to give defendant every

OUR ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND.
Secretary Oinsy Says 1t VIII Strengthen
tho Monroe Doctrine.

LONDON, Jan. 13.-The Chronicles
Washington correspondent says: "Secre-
tary olney, replying to a question of the
Russian minister Mr.. Il. DE Kotzebue, as
to whether the arbitration treaty with
England was offensive and defensive, or
anything in the nature Of an alliance, said
that the question might be answered yes
and no. That in the ordinary diplomatic
acceptance it was not an alliance, but that
1t Is an alliance in support of the Monroe
doctrine, which England recognized by
the terms Of the Venezuelan treaty. II
the arbitration treaty is ratified Mr.
Olney said. 1T practically makes Great
Britain our ally for the maintenance and
the enforcement Of the Monroe doctrine
Tho correspondent Of The Chronicle
commenting upon the above, says: "Mr.
O,ney recognizes that England Is the more
natural ally of America than Russia,
whose hitherto professed friendship for
tho United States is merely hatred OF
England. 1t is probable that Russia will
do her best to persuade the senate not to
ratify the treaty"
The Chronicle, in an editorial regards
the foregoing matter as of the deepest i'm
portance, and says that it desires nothing
better than that Russis should take the
course indicated. "rhe scales will then
fall from Americas eyes," it concludes.

a grandson of p. Il. Barnum, was enter

with vaudeville accompaniment, which
Chapman claimed was indecent. Captain
Chapman sabp9naed oil the Ssomen who
danced at the dinner, and all GSGho diners.
He began his defense last Friday by call
Ing Anna Belle Whitford, who testified
that she had been asked to dance naked at
the dinner; that she had refused, and told
ber father who notified Chapman.
Lottis Mortimer, a vaudeville performer.
repeated an indecent toast she offered, to
which the Seeley party drank. She also
told of the liberties the diners took with
her, and of the indecent or suggestive
Christmas presents that Minnie Renwood,
another dancer, distributed to the guests.

Yesterday Captain Chapman went on
the stand and told his story of the raid,
narrating how he found eight women and
four men In the dressing room, the
women very much undressed."
Little Egypt, or Ashee Waba, told In
broken language how she was engaged to
do little dance and pose on a pedestal as
an Egyptian slave wearing bracelet on
her ankle but otherwise naked She said
she would do so, for the sake of art"
She told how the Seeley guests piled her
with wine and lifted her and pinched
her limbs. The attorneys who questioned
her could evidently have brought out a
more revolving story, for she was an eager
witness,
The trial is not yet ended. The district
attorney has ssated that he will examine
the minutes of the trial, and if the evi-
dence justities such action he will lay the
matter before the grand jury.

| New YORK, Jan. 13.-The twenty-five
round bout between Solly Smith of Los
Angeles and Tommy White of Chicago,
which took place at the Bohemian SPORT
Ing club here last night, resulted in draw.
The boys weighed in at l22 pounds, and
thsy put up one of the fastest contests that
has ever been seen in this vicinity. White
had the advantage in height, but Solly
coun teractod this by his wonderful strong
and aggressive work. He swung and
jabbed with both hands, and 1t looked as
II ho would have won twice during the
mill when he staggered White with right
CROSSES on the jaw, Whites cleverness
aided him avoiding Smiths vicousness
and he frequently stopped the Californian
with loft hand jabs on the face and neck.
The decision Of the referee met with the
approval of every one OF the 500 spectators.
