at two places before she got what she
wanted 1t was shown by one witness
that just before the fatal shooting she
was in the front yard talking to some
one in an angry tone of voice 1t was
also shown that after the shooting she
was standing on the steps OF the house
and that she was not in the building
as she saws she was.
TIE testimony taken yesterday DEM
onstrates that the theory of any one
doing the deed and running away has
no foundation in fact. Every witness
on the ground within a few seconds
after the echoes of the last shot died
away; before the man was dead; while
he was yet alive enough TO moan,
state they saw no one going away
from the place. No man could have
done the deed and escaped. except
through the house of the Seddons. He
did not go either I'D, down or across
the street.
1t was shown that Hamilton's hat
lay close beside the step where she
was standing. He had on the bicycle
pants guards which man wears when
he rides a wheel and was evidently all
ready 10 mount his own. which stood
against the wall. when he was stricken
down. Up to date no one has asked
whether he put them on inside or after
he was outside the door, but maybe at
this mornings hearing some one will
give her chance to say he put them
on inside.
It was shown that he had buttoned
his coat tight, which would indicate
that ne was getting ready to mount
the wheel. Had he drawn a gun ere
doing this. his wife would have no
ticed it, Surely her perceptions would
have been keen enough for that. But
she doesn't say so and if she did. it
would cut no figure now, as the time
which elapses between her closing the
door and the first shot, ACCORDING to
her evidence, was only a second. A
man doesn't have time to button his
coat in that short period. And he
never buttoned that garment after
drawing a gun. That isn't natural.
The morbid crowd was in evidence
at the inquest yesterday. The spacious
court room was damned. There were
old men and young men, white men
and black men, old women and young
women, pretty women and women who
were not so pretty, big boys and little
boys, young mothers with babies, Irish
men, German men, Swedish men, Nor
wegian men. Danishmen, Cornishmen,
American men; in fact, all sorts of
men present.
They followed the testimony and the
eye of the coroner. They followed the
Jurors to dinner and to the scene of
the crime and then followed them
back. They chased them up stairs and
down the elevator. They walked and
rode in pursuit of the jury.
1t was an interesting scene-for
them.
THE HEARING RESUMED.
AS soon as all was in readiness, At
torney Van Colt announced that the
first witness would be Mrs. Hamilton.
AS she entered the court room every
eye was upon her, but she bore the or
deal through which she passed with
the fortitude which has characterized
her conduct since the shooting. In fact,
it was not until she was going home
last evening that she manifested any
degree of WEAKNESS. It was then that
she broke down, utterly exhausted. Her
sister, who has been with her since the

ARTHUR DISAPPOINTED.
Does Not Like the Action of the
Court in the Lennon Case.

Cleveland. April 21.-Chief P. NJ Ar
thur of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers, feels very much disap-
pointed over the action OF the supreme
court in the case Of Engineer Lennon,
who was fined $50 for contempt Of court
in the Ann Arhor strike of 1898.
Engineer Lennon was aware that
an injunction had been issued. but had
not been served with a copy of the pro-
ceedings. His crime consisted in leav-
ing his train on the track when he dis
covered that he had an Ann Arbor car
in il. We carried the case 10 the high
est tribunal in the land, and bow to the
courts decision. The supreme courts
decision sustaining the contempt pro-
ceedings establishes the fact that it is
not an employees action in quitting
work, but the manner in which it is
done that constitutes contempt. All de-
cisions hold that an individual has a
right to leave the employ of another.
but the manner Of quitting must be
guarded"

THE PROGRAM OF JAPAN.

The naval and military program of
Japan indicates an intention on the
part of that alert and enterprising ma
ton to take an active part in the fu-
ture political movements of the East.
When Japan began her war with
China, her fleet consisted of compare
lively small vessels, none Of them of
only four reaching that size. Her
capture of the Chen-yu put her in
possession of her first line of battle
ship, and she also took from China
two steel cruisers and six steel gun
boats. She had placed orders in Eng
land for two first class battleships of
more than twelve thousand tons each
which are now nearly ready for SER
vice, and had begun building two
steel cruisers of moderate dimen-
sions.
This years budget unfolds pro-
gram of naval construction on large
scale. If this program is carried out,
by the year 1906 there will have been
added to the Japanese navy four line
Of battleships of IL, ,240 tons each; six
first class cruisers of 5000 tons each;
three second class cruisers of 1850
tons each; two third class cruisers of
1900 tons each; three torpedo gun
boats of 1900 tons each; one torpedo
depot ship Of $3.50 tons, eleven torpe
do boat destroyers, and SO torpedo
boats. The execution of these plans
will give Japan a navy of 81 ships
with an aggregate displacement of
258, 300 tons, in addition to II torpedo
boat destroyers and 115 torpedo boats.
The military program is scarcely
less impressive since it involves the
practical doubling of the peace and
war electives. The seventy thousand
men on peace footing which Japan
had when the war with China ended
will be increased to 145,OO by 1904,
and the force on a war footing will be
creasedis from $3.50 to $4,000.
Large expenditures are provided
for, also for new forts, arsenals
and all descriptions of arms. To the
cost of making these formidable mill
tary and naval preparations Japan is
dedicating practically the whole of
the war indemnity from China,
amounting to $40, 100000; and pur-
poses adding the receipts from sever
al new sources of revenue. Alto
gether, it seems clear that if Asia be-
comes the battle-ground of nations
during the next decade, Japan will
give good account of herself in the
struggle for supremacy Exchange.

BIG CORPORATIONS.

The auditing department of great
American railroad corporation rivals
in respect to it's records and transac
tions a governmental department,
says the New York Sun. The earn
ings of all the lines of the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad system in year average
about $130, 1000, 900, and the gross earn
ings of the Vanderbilt system amount
to rather more-$45, ,O00,00O from the
New York Central, $21 ,00O,00 from
the Lake Shore, $40, 600, 900 from the
West Shore and Nickel Plate, $685.
900, 900 from the Chicago & Northwest,
$13, 900, 900 from the Michigan Central
and about $15, 100000 from collateral
lines or systems. These figures are
large but they appear still larger
when they are compared with items
of federal revenue. The total re-
ceipt5 of the United States govern
ment from customs during the fiscal
year ending in 1896 were $780, 900,
and from internal revenue taxes
$146, 1000, 900. The two together made
up 1896, 100000 of public revenue for
the government of the affairs of a ma
ton of rs, 100000 inhabitants, but the
two railroad systems referred to rep
resented together receipts of $780,
900, 600 and if a third big railroad sys-
tenn were added, the receipts of the
federal government would be ex-
ceeded.
And the Sun might have added
truthfully that corporations of this
size frequently feel bigger than the
government.

means that the normal influence of
the new Republican duties on wool
will not be adequately felt until a year
after they have been established.
Moreover, the stock of foreign wool
on hand is so vast that it will be a
year before normal importations are
resu ~ ed, and wool becomes a source
of considerable revenue.
What is true of wool is true of al
most all other foreign articles, large
quantities of which are ordinarily i'm
ported. Supplies of these articles
have been brought into the country
SO far beyond present legitimate de-
mands that the first year of the Ding
ley tariff will give neither the revenue
nor the protection which might have
been expected from it if it had be-
come a law when the country declar
ed for it so emphatically in the ma
tional election.

TILLMAN ON PROTECTION.

In the debate of the tariff Thursday,
Senator Tillman of South Carolina
said:
'sI say, without hesitation, that it is
to the best interests of the American
people that the articles consumed by
our people should be produced by our
people. If that is republican doctrine,
well and good. If that is not demo-
cratic doctrine, it ought to be.'
Referring to Mr.. Mill's speech, Mr..
Tillman said, 'sWe had an impassion-
ed speech in behalf of the Walker
tariff principles brought forward at
this late day as democratic doctrine.
Secession, notification, and other is
sues which have passed out of the
minds of men might as well be brought
here"
The South is at last waking up to
the advantage of protective tariff to
that section as we'll as to other sec
tions of the country. A tariff which
has not the protective principle as it's
essential feature has just as much
place in the politics of today as seces-
sion and notification. The free
trade theory, which has survived SO
long in the South ought to have died
with notification and secession. The
people of that section who have been
born since the war and are not inocu-
lated with prejudices and passions
now realize this. The South is at last
dividing on this question and it is no
longer to be treated as a sectional is
