\ BATTLE OF EXPERTS
lOlFFERENCE BETWEEN BODIES BOILED BY
THE STATE AND THE DEFENCE,
This Time Peddler Saw Mrs. Luetgert Since
the Murder, Near GAINESVILLE. lie is

Chicago, H., Sept. 2S battle be-
tween the experts has begun and from
now on there will be denials thrown at
the. evidence OF the medical and chemical
wise man who testified for the State in
the Luetgert case. The defense put its
first witness in the expert line on the
stand to-day and he will be followed by a
long string of others. The witness to-
day was DIR. b. l.. Reise who boiled two
bodies in caustic potash in the vat in
Luetgcrt's sausage factory and obtained
results different from those who boiled
bodies in caustic potash in behalf of the
State Another witness was Armadale
Opdyke, a peddler, who testified that
long after the murder is said to have been
committed he saw Mrs. Luetgert in the
neighborhood of GAINESVILLE, Wis. He
said that there was no chance of his be-
ing mistaken and he identified the photo
graph of her which he was shown in
court in the most positive manner Two
girls were placed upon the stand to inn
peach the testimony of Emma Schimpke,
who claimed that she saw Luetgert and
his wife enter the factory on the night
which the murder is said to have been
committed.
There is strong probability that Mary
Siemmering will be called upon to an
swer charge of perjury In her testi-
mony she gave evidence rejecting on
the manner in which she had been treat
ed by Inspector Schaak and assistant
States Attorney McEwen before the
trial. and as she gave sworn evidence
in the witness stand directly contrary to
the sworn evidence she gave at the pre-
liminary hearing, the assistant States
Attorney says that he will bring charge
Of perjury against her.

city of an interview said to have taken
place at Madrid with the Spanish Pre-
mier, General Azcarraga, and widely
published in this country last Saturday
The Minister has been advised that no
such interview occurred and that the
Premier did not see the person claiming
to have interviewed him. Under these
circumstances, n denial is made of all
the statements attributed 10 the presi-
dent of the Council. The interview pur-
ported to give the Premier's views of the
call Of Minister Woodford on the
Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs.
GERMANY WILL NOT INTERVENE
London, Sept. 2S.-The Berlin CORE
spondent of the Daily News says:
"The statement that the German and
Austrian Emperors have decided to in
tcrvene between the United States and
Spain is utterly unfounded. Public opin-
ion here favors Spain, but there is no
question of the German cabinet making
itself a cat's-paw for Spain while Aus
trian diplomacy will not allow its for
eign policy to be influenced by certain
dynastic interests. Even apart from that
consideration Austria can do nothing

Under the above caption, the
Natchtz. Miss, Democrat and Courier
pays the following tribute TO the men,
o,y OF tho wife Of a son Of Mrs. M.
l.. Douglas and brother Of Mrs. d. I.
Hoskins, OF this city;
The New Orleans papers OF Sunday last
coniolucd the announcement Of the death
Of Mrs II. s. Douglas, tho wife OF United
Statoa Engineer Douglas, who waa long
stationed at this point, but latterly has
been 10 New Orleans. The removal OF the
highly esteemed family caused genuine
regret among the many privileged 60 know
them. The overw helming sorrow which
in tie providence Of God Ia now the ex-
p~erieuce of the broken eii a will oanse
a tremor OF grief IN o myriad OF hearts, for
tho revered lady and the stricken husband
held a large p,ace in the respect and love
of this people. Mrs, Douglas was a Miss
Hoffman, OF honored and exalted lineage.
| Those OF tho manor born in Now Oileans,
aud those accustomed to frequently visit
| the Crescent city, will recall the familiar
figure OF Mr.. HGffn an in the great IN
poIium OF d.. IL. Holmes OF which he was
the founder and Of whom be was a partner.
He and all his family were people OF mag
nidceut character, whose lives glowed
with increasing deeds OF good. They had
a beautiful home in the garden district OF
New Orleans, and few there are In that city
lin the upper portion at least-who do moi
know something Of the u~nnumbered bless
ings that went out from that house to help
and 10 comfort humankind. Ia that al
most supernal sphere Mrs. Douglas grew
to womanhood. and from thence went to
glorify and adorn the home that became
hers in her welded life. Surely there will
be no measure to the sympathy that will be
extended to the bereaved ones close bound
to the good woman. The husband and the
other living ones of the saddened kindred
have better solace han earth can give
for they trust in a Power and a Being sur
passing all things Of earth. Their hope IL
heaven, and their fealty and faith in the
King Of Heaven.

OUR SANTA FEE LETTER.
Gen E. A. Carr for Governor-A
Characteristic Liewellyn Letter
About Lincoln County Dolores
Land Grant.

Special Correspondence of The Optic.
sANrA FE. N. NJ, May 18th, 1897
The town-talk here, tonight, is that
Gen. L. A. Carr, U. s. army, retired,
now a resident of Albuquerque, has
again SHE'D his castor into the guber.
Material arena, and thinks he stands q
particularly fine chance to slip in as o
compromise between Wallace and Col.
Iier. This is probably another of those
sharp political tricks that have been
played all through this contest over the
executive chair. Gen. Carr's appoint
ment would suit few people outside of
bis own immediate and highly respect
eu Iamny crcIe, aud mere does NOT sp-
pear to be the smallest prospect that
Mckinley will give serious attention to
his name, even should it be presented
by that distinguished goldite, the Hon.
Clark Carr, of Galesburg, ILL.,, his
brother.
-Major Llewellyn becomes emphatic.
He has at last caught the idea
that somebody has been "play-
Ing'' him for a sucker, and 10
q letter written in Washington on Sat-
urday last and addressed to a friend
here he says:
81 never expect TO be governor of New
Mexico for the reason that l am not a can
didate end that | do not want the place.
The president kindly mentioned my name
in connection with the appointment, but l
was forced from business engagements in
to a position that | could not say to him
that | would accept the place. Wallace,
Perea or Collier will be appointed. Gen.
Hobart is really a candidate for the cficc."
Ex-senator Geo. Curry is here from
Lincoln county and talks entertaining
ly OF the railroad prospects down there.
Commodore Lowry and Lshigh valley
capitalists have paid @. B Eddy $780,
600 for the Salado coal fields, l60 miles
north Of FL Paso and will supply the
cash to build that long contemplated
railroad.
The Dolores land grant case was dis
misses by the land cour to-day on the
ground that it is wholly within the
Ortiz mine grant for which Elkins,
Catron ct al, hold as U. s. patents
The dismissal was a bitter dose for the
miners about Dolores as this act
practically gives the Ortiz grant people
free right OF way to all mineral within
the four square leagues claimed by the
Dolores community. The Las Huertas
grant, which laps the OrlIz (and IN
clu les Bolores) some 9 0 1000 acres,
comes on for trial tomorrow. Messrs.
Catron, Frank Springer and Il. e.
are assisting the u. s. at
toruey in opposing confirmation of the
Las Huer;as, for it is an old Spanish
grant, made in 1865. and should it be
confirmed it would entangle the Ortiz
grant io complications that would
tickle certain miners d of their boots.

The reciprocity feature Of the new
tariff law is likely to be ever more sat.
isfactory than that of the Mckinley
law. The addition Of tea and hides to
the dutiable list, increases the oppor-
tunity for obtaining favorable reciproc-
i'y treaties, and it is understood that
the senate will put into the bill such
provisions as to make it practicable to
Sannra very advantageous reciprocal

The Best remedy tor Rheumatlsm.

From the Fairbaven IN. W Register.
Mr.. James Rowland, of this village. states
that for twenty-five years his wife has
been a sufferer from rheumatism. A few
nights ago she was in such pain that she
was nearly crazy. She sent Mr.. Rowland
for the doctor, but he had read Of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm, and instead of going
for the physician. he went to the store and
secured a bottle Of II. His wife did no APP
prove Of Mr.. Rowland's purchase at irst.
but nevertheless applied the Balm thor
oughly and in an hours time was able to
go to sleep. She now applies 1t whenever
she feels an ache or a pain and finds that
1t always gives relief. He says that no
medicine which she had used ever did her
as much good. The rs and so cent sizes for

THE growth of the p reflective senti
ment in the south, which was clearly
shown by the fact that over thirty
southern votes were cast for the Ding
ley bill In the house, will be again
emphasized when the votes for the bill
in the senate are counted. At least
five southern votes will be in favor of
the bill In the senate-one OF them by
a democrat, who announced before his
election that he should vote for a pre-
.tective tariff. When it is considered
that every one of these five southern
senators who will support the protec-
tive tariff bill, succeeded men who
voted for the free-trade law upon
the statute books, the growth of the
protective sentiment in that section
will be recognized.

EIGHT and niue cents a pound duty
on frat and second dass woods, while
it is not as much as the rate named by
the Dingley bill wien 1t passed the
house, is Just eight and nine cents
more than the rates of the present Wal

more in proportion 10 the general value
of woods than the rates established by

satisfactory to the wool. growers.

The wool-growers of The country,
while they are delighted with the pros.
pect that they are to get protection,
must not expect to feel the effects i'm
mediate'y. Latest Investigations as to
the supply of wool in stock in this
country show that the amount OF
foreign woods now in the hands OF
manufacturers is sufficient for at least
seven months supply, and that if the
present enormous importations con-
tinue, as seems probable, they will
probably have a full years supply on
hand when the new law goes into
effect. This is a d%eplorable fact, but
it is mi OF the numerous misfortunes
attendant upon the existence Of The
free trade tariff law now upon the
statute books, and until it can be got
ten rid OF, there can be no getting rid
OF its depressing effect.
