Was She Falsely Quoted.
Perhaps the most curious misstatement
of the talented apologist for fallen majesty
IL the following: That falsehood which
has been most persistently urged against
her is that she declared that her enemies
merited beheadal. She never said it, or
anything like it. The agent who had called
upon the other government. but granting
her no such courtesy, had summoned her
into his presence. had stenographer con-
cealed behind screen. and the stenog
exaggerated the signs which signify pun
ishment' into the signs which signify be
headal' " - -qia. !
That agent" was the United States min
lister, Albert S. Willis, who had come with
an order from President Cleveland to restore
the queen, upon her promising full amnesty
to those who had dethroned her. Mr.. Will
lis Is the sole witness to the language
which she used, and will doubtless be ac-
cepted as reliable Under date of Novem-
Der 10. 1888, Mr.. Willis reported to Secre-
tary w. Q. Gresham as follows:
"Sir: In the forenoon of Monday, the
accompanied by the royal chamberlain,
Mr.. Robertson. called at the legation. No
enc was present at the half-hour interview
which followed, her chamberlain having
been taken to another room. and Consul
General Mills. who had invited her to
come, remaining In the front Of the house
to prevent interruption"
1t thus appears, contrary to Mrs. Spot
ford's allegation. that no third person was
present or within hearing. Mr.. Willis had
no clerk or secretary. Mr.. Mills, who had
been Col. Blount's stenographer, was on
the veranda. q public place, out Of hearing
Of anything passing within.
Farther on, Mr.. Willis writes that, in
answer to his question IL she would prom
Use amnesty: "She hesitated a moment and
then slowly and calmly answered. There
are certain laws of my government by

as the law directs. that such persons

me, and, if so, do you still have the same
opinion?' Her answer was: I have under
stood and mean all l have said, but I
might leave the decision Of this to my min
isters.'"

to the language used by the ex-Queen to

FAVORABLE FOR CROPS.

The Weather in the Central Valleys,
Lake Region and New England.
The Agricultural Department weather
bureau in its report of crop conditions for
the week ended July says:
In the states of the central valleys, lake
region and New England, the week ending
July has been very favorable to crops,
the high temperature being especially ia
vorable to corn. In the southern states the
conditions have been less favorable, the
excessive heat and absence of rainfall prov
ing Injurious to most crops. On the Pacific
coast the week has been favorable. In the
principal corn states of central valleys corn
has made rapid growth, but in the southern
states 1t Is suffering for rain, in some Sec
tons seriously. Excessive rains in Missouri
have retarded cultivation and the crop is
still backward in Minnesota In Texas.
while the late crop is suffering from
drought, the early planted is matured ana
a good yield assured.
Cotton is needing rain over the greater
part of the cotton belt, more particularly
the southern portions. The crop Isl however.
generally clean and fruiting well. A marked
improvement is reported from Oklahoma,
and 1t is doing well in Missouri, Tennes-
see North Carolina and portions OF klori-
da. In southern Texas hollis are beginning
to omen.
The bulk of the winter wheat crop is now
harvested south II the fortieth parallel
about the latitude Of the central portions
Of Ohio. Indiana, Illinois. Excessive rains
have retarded harvesting In Missouri. and

AMUSEMENT BY JUDGE
BRADLEY.
JURISDICTION is INVOLVED.
RULE ON TILE MAIN
POINT.
IGNORED IN HAvEMDYER CAsn.
General Impression Prevails That
the Motion Made by the Defense
VIII Be Sustained.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-The trial Of
John e. Searles, secretary of the Amer
lean Sugar Refining company, today
followed that Of President Havemeyer,
who was acquitted yesterday by order
Of Judge Bradley. The government pre-
sented it's case very briefly whereupon
the defense, following the tactics pur-
sued in the Havemeyer case, moved
that the judge order an acquittal for
three reasons, namely, that the ques-
tions Mr.. Searles refused to answer
were irrevelant to the inquiry; that
they were individual, not committee
questions, and that even if they were
authorized by the senate resolution,
the senate did not possess Jurisdiction.
The motion was argued at length by
the. counsel on both sides, after which
the court adjourned until Tuesday,
when Judge Bradley will deliver his
ruling. A very strong impression ex-
lists that the judge will sustain the mo-
ton and throw the case out of court.
The course followed by the district
attorney in the Havemeyer case was
repeated in the Searles case, the same
documents being introduced to lay the
basis for the trial. Senator Gray was
the first and only witness called, testi-
flying as to the facts in the senate in
vestigation. On cross-examination he
stated that he did not believe the ques-
ton asked by Senator Allen was per-
tinent, taken in connection with the
questions Mr.. Searles answered He
had testified that money was contrib
| uted for national political purposes and
not with the purpose Of affecting legis-
lation.
At this point Mr.. Johnson, for the
defense, moved that the judge instruct
the jury to bring in a verdict Of ac-
quittal. In his argument on the mo-
ton he was exceedingly sarcastic In re-
ferring to Senator Aliens motives in
asking the questions Of Mr.. Searles.
Mr.. Davis followed for the government,
after which Mr.. Johnson closed for the
defense, and the court adjourned until
Tuesday.
