VOORHEES, DIED A POOR MAN.
When Retired from the Senate He
Had but Little Money.

A Washington correspondent says that
although, like a great many other men
prominently in public life, Senator Noor-
hees had abundant opportunities to add
to his possessions, his sense of personal
honor and public integrity was so exalted
that he put by chances which he might
have availed of without opening the door
to the least criticism. AS consequence
when he retired from the Senate on March
last broken in health and spirits, he had
no more than few hundred dollars.
About a week before his death he said
what he had would last him but month
or two and it would be relief if he knew
he would be called from earth. At the
very moment his warm and true friends
were concentrating an understanding by
which he was to receive the appointment
as member of the Indian commission,
of which ex-senator Dawes of Massachu-
sets is chairman. The compensation is
$1,000 per annum, the duties light. and the
place held at the pleasure of the Presl-
dent. Of course, no President would have
disturbed Mr. VOORHEES,. Had he lived
but two or three days longer his friends
would have been in a condition to carry
the good news to him.

SPALDING is A WRECK.
Chicago Banker Unnerved by His Ex-

Charles w. Spalding, eX-treasurer of
the University of Illinois and president
of the defunct Globe Savings Bank, of
Chicago, was sent to Jail Saturday in
default of $3.50 bail, on charge of
embezzling 100000. He is a nervous
wreck, and his physicians fear that he is
on the verge of a collapse. An experience
of two days in the county Jail completely
Frustrated the prisoner, and from the hour
he entered the prison until late Sunday
afternoon he did not taste food nor close
an eye. With the exception of few
minutes Saturday afternoon he did not
leave his cell, but sat straining every
nerve to catch the sound of the footstep
of a friend coming to free him. He said
little, but expressed his surprise that
friends did not come to his rescue and re-
lease him from the cell. His only caller
aside from his physician was Walter

BE HIS OWN WITNESS.
Luetgert Will Take the stand in His Own Behalf and
 fell of His Operations.

CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-The hundreds of eager spectators, equally divided between the two sexes, kept the bailiffs at Judge Tuthill's court room busy when the Luetgert mur- der trial was resumed today. It was definitely announced today that Luetgert will be witness iii his own deferse. The big sausage maker said the matter had been dis cussed between his attorneys aad himself, and when the time comes ne will take the stand and tell the jury about his actions on the night 1of May 1. Luetqert said he will explain what he was doing in the basement of his factory and the ex- periments he was conducting there. Court opened with Frank Odorfsky, Laetgert's smoke house man, still in the witness chair. His direct testimony was concluded in few minutes, and he was turned over to the defense for cross examination and Attorney Vincent questioned him first about his connection with the police since the arrest of Luet- gert. The witness said an officer had been with him nearly all the time. No money, he said, had been given him and no position promised him, but his wife has received money from Inspector Schaack. Just a few cents, sad Odorfsky, to keep body and soul together I am not giving my testimony for money, but for conscience.

AMBITION OF JAPAN
EXTENDS EVEN TO THE AMER
 ICAN CONTINENT.
Report Says Her Agents Are Intriguing With the ssGreat- CT Republic Of Central
 America"

Navy YORK. Sept. PA special to the Htro}d from Washington says:
 Japan, not content with an inter- ference with President McKinley's Hawaiian annexation policy, Gow has desigs upon the Nicaragua canal. According to semi official advices just received here from Nicaragua, the Japanese govern ment is secretly negotiating with the Diet of the Greater Republic of Central America, which recently met Tn Salvador, for the construc- tion of the Niearaguan canal, in de fance of the interests and influence of the United State or other nations.
 This action of Japan, taken in connection with her recent attitude in regard to Hawaiian annexation, is of the greatest significance, show ing, as it does, to the authorities that there is no limit to the ambi. tion of the nation, and that her ag- gressiye policy may yet get her into trouble with the United States. That the Administration will resent any interfet ence with the Nicara- guan canal project, as it did in the case of the Hawaiian annexation treaty, goes without saying.
 If Japan can encompass it, ae- cording to the Nicaraguan advises received here, she would like to ob- tain the arbitration of all treaty rights possessed by the United States in relation to interoceanic transits and the forfeiture of the American canal concessions from Nicaragua and to immediately make treaty with the Diet of the Greater Republic of Central Amer lea, giving her control of the canal route through Nicaragua. In the negotiations Costa Rica has not been consulted, it being well known that she would not assent to vio- lation of treaty rights.

The following is from Fridays Arkansas Gazette;
 United States Senator James K. Jones was among last nights arri- vals at Gleason's. He came up from Philadelphia and will be in the city several days. It is his intention to be at the Nashville exposition on Arkansas Day, September IS. The Senator is in fine health and seems to have stood the exciting debate in the Senate well. As chairman of the Democratic National Committee he has nothing to say relative to the action of the Pennsylvania Demo cratic convention in hauling Nat ional Committeeman Harrity, the gold bug, over the coa's.
