right side of the argument. In

wage-earners have experienced a
decrease IN their earnings since
last November. Even now there

a reappointment at reduced sal

of his intention to contest the elec-

on the ground that the use of the
Movers Ballot Machine was H.
legal, and this week he was again
dismissed. It is said he was given
a hint by a person in athority that
it would not be wise for him to
make contest, and he thinks he

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondent
The scheme to keep Senator-elect
Kenny Of Delaware, out of his seat,
which was concocted by tLittle
Billee" Chandler and other 1epub-
licans of his ilk, is in a fair way to
fall through. Although the senate
committee on elections is control
led by republicans it has refused
to b. party to this scheme to the
extent of reopening the claim Of
Du Pont to the seat, and it is not
believed that the fimsy claim of
Gas Addicks will be seriously con-
sidered by the committee at all.
A republican senator said today
that he thought Kenny's creden-
tials were all right and that he
was satisfied he would he seated.
Nobody seems to have any idea
that the amended arbitration treaty
with England, which has been
favorably reported to the senate,
will be acted upon at this session.
In fact, it's friends would be afraid
to force vote at this time lest it
should result in rejection of the
treaty.
One Of the legacies Of the Har-
rison administration is a treaty
that binds the United States to pay
$4,000 a year towards the support
of a monarchy, and an almighty
poor specimen of monarchy at that.
The treaty in question was made
with Germany and England and
the money goes to pay the expenses
of the semi-savage King ofSamoa.
A year or so ago President Cleve-
land recommended Legislation look
ing towards the abrogation of this
treaty, and each year there has
been protest made when the
House reached the item of the
diplomatic and consular appropri-
alton bill carrying that $4,000.
This week when the item was
reached Representative McMillin
moved that it be struck out, be-
cause he did not think it right
that our people should he contri-
buting money to the support OF a
monarchy anywhere and under any
circumstances, but this motion
was voted down, not because a
majority of the House favored the
appropriation but because they
considered that as long as the
treaty is allowed to stand we are in
honor bound to pay our share OF
the money. .....

A CABINET CRISIS
Not Unlikely Over The Accommodation q
Revertsr, Spanish Minister Of Finance.

Madrid. Sept. 19.-Fears are ex-
pressed in well informed circles that
cabinet crisis may result from the
contumacy Of the bishop of Majoria.
Balerac Islands. who in defiance Of the
order of the archbishop, has persisted
in his accommodation of Signor j.
Reverter. the Spanish minister Of
finance, for taking possession of the
treasury of a church in his diocese.
The decree Of communication was
read with all Formally. today, in all
the churches of the<diocese.
Several influential prelates approve
the course of the bishop. Their atti-
tude. which is absolutely opposed to
that of all the members of the cabinet
who have appealed to the Pope against
the decree, through the Papal nuncio,
has raised a complicated issue between
the ecclesiastical and political authori-
ties. The cabinet relies upon the die
tum of the nuncio that the bishop has
no jurisdiction over the minister and
upon his further assurance that the
Pope will undoubtedly censure the
bishop.
The notorious sympathies of the
bishop with the Carlist movement also
aggravate the situation.

LUErGERr's TRIAL.
The Prosecution Will Rest Case, Tonight,
After Three Weeks Of Evidence.

Chicago Sept. 1.-THE prosecution will
rest its case in the Luetgert trial. tomor-
row, after three weeks given to the pres
entation Of evidence against the prison.
ers and four weeks spent in the trial. The
prosecution will close its case with some
strong evidence tending to prove the mo-
tive for the alleged crime. The state will
endeavor to show that infatuation for
Mary Semering, the servant girl in the
Luetgert household was the cause of the
murder. 1t will be claimed that the saul
sage maker desired to make the girl his
wife and that he put Mrs. Luetgert out
of the way In order to permit his mar
riage with girl
dence. The closing hour of the afternoon
session was devoted to the Identification
by Prof. De La Fontaine, Prof. Haines
Sergeant Spangler and other witnesses of
the prosecution of exhibits used in the
trial, all of which will go into the jury
room when the case Is submitted for the
jurys consideration.
When the trial opened. today, the cross
examination of Prof. Dorsey was re-
sumed. He was questioned as to the
comparative nature of the sesamoid and
femur bones of a calf. OF sheep and of
human being. His answers were tech
meal and adroit, but of character that
supported his original Identification and
testimony with reference to the bones in
evidence. a,
When Attorney Vincent completed his
cross examination of Prof. Dorsey, he
moved that the court exclude from the
records all of the evidence of the witness
and also the evidence of DR.. Norval W.
Pierce, in reference to identification of
the femur and temporal bones on the
ground that the identifications were not
based upon legitimate or substantial ba-
sis, but merely upon the opinion of the
experts based upon certain alleged con-
ditions The motion was overruled.
The attorneys then moved to exclude
the evidence of Prof. De La Fontaine, in
which the latter had stated: These may
be human bones" This was approved
and sustained and the motion allowed.

Polo Notes.

Portland Express: polo in this State
flourished last season." stated Manager
Walter II. Burnham to an Express re-
porter, Saturday. Manager Burnham ar
rived home this week after the close of
the base ball season in the New England
League. He represented this city at the
annual meeting held IN Gardiner. Thurs
day. "As | have just stated continued
a success last winter all of the six clubs
making money. There is no reason why
such a condition should not hold good
this season." WIN there be any change
In the circuit this year?' Probably not.
The cities of Portland, Lewiston, Rock
land. Bath, Augusta and Gardiner will
again comprise the league. None of them
will draw out. Bangor made a strong at
tempt to get franchise and presented a
strong front. Personally l should be in
favor of admitting Bangor under certain
conditions. for believe that a team from
there would draw well in Portland. But
the league circuit was all right last year
and see no special reason why a change
should be effected this season. There did
not seem to be a single member of the
league who was anxious to admit Ban
gor. Asked about the personnel of the
Portland team for the coming winter.
Manager Burnham stated that he had not
yet selected his players. Portland has. of
course. an option on any player who fin
ished the season here last winter. There
is no truth in the report that John Rob-
erts has been engaged by Portland. 1T
is more than likely continued the
hustling manager. that an agreement
will be reached between the National
League and the Maine League so that
players who were in. these respective or
ganizatiOn last year will remain in the
same ranks the coming season. This is
done for mutual protection and to ensure
the success OF each league" 1t Is not
likely that players from the big league
will be engaged to participate in single
games in the Idaine League this year. 1t
is the unanimous opinion that it would
be mistake to allow this for another
season.
