About twelve hundred citizens today wit
messed the trial here in the district court
of Archie Mcmillan, charged with having
criminally assaulted the 9-year-old daugh-
ter of w. q. Giles about eight miles south
of this city on the 10th instant. The jury
was composed of the best citizens of the
county, and, after fair and impartial
trial, returned. in seven minutes after the
case was submitted to them, verdict as
sessing the death penalty. When the jury
so promptly returned a verdict assessing
the death penalty a murmur of approval
went up from many threats, and the cx-
element seems abated No notice of APP

=, 1t is true we are no better in the United
states than in Russia. Free speech is de-
med in West Virginia; so it is in Russia.
1t shows the desperation on the part of the

cupidity, and cupidity commits suicide.
They can force us down now, but it is

Mr.. Jones insisted that the course az .Ls~
republican c0nferees had been exceptional
and arbitrary. The senator turned his
attention to the various schedules. compar-
ing the rates with the opening statements
by Mr.. Aldrich that the rates were to he
moderate and conservative. In particular
he urged that each change on sugar ha,S-
given added benefits to the trust
At one stage Mr.. Adrich interrupted 10.
say that the average of rates was below
that of 1890.
In referring 10 Mr. Jones' criticisms or
the sugar schedule he said that his peg
sonal views were favorable to free sugar
rs they had always been, and he would so
vote If there was an opportunity. Buf
the demand for revenue made that out
of the question. lie insisted also that Mr.
Jones figures on the differentials Of the
sugar schedule were erroneous.
Mr.. Jones maintained that there was.
about four times as much margin to he
sugar rcfners under the conference report
as in the present law. This, he said. dis
closed why there was so much anxiety in
rushing the bill through the conference
and house.
Mr.. Pettigrew announced his purpose so

though he expected that the bill in its pres
cnt form, with all its iniquities, would be-

difficult to repeal. as the favors it gave
brought il such tremendous strength that
the republican party would be able to col
lect fund of twenty or forty or fifty mil
lions if they wanted it in order to carry
an election. He believed, however, that
the contest of the future was not On thr
tariff bill. but between republican institu-
tions and plutocracy. The senator closed
with the declaration that when he left the
republican party he left it for good. and
1.-THE caucus dictation in behalf of this in
iquitous bilr' had amply justified his 9cs
ton.
Shortly before ) o'clock Mr.. Teller vas

DARK PLOT NIPPED.
Conspiracy to Debauch Woman,
Wife of One of the COnspiratOrs.

Wife of One of the COnsptratOrs.
Norfolk. Va. July 21.-Jos. Cannon,
Guy Hall and William Smith were put
on trial today in the police court on a
charge of consprng to seduce and de-
bauch Lillian Cannon. wife of the de-
PENDANT named They were arrested on
q warrant charging them with abducting
a woman for immoral purposes, but the
commonwealth elected to proceed under
the warrant for conspiracy. Fifteen wit
nesses were sworn for the prosecution
and were excluded from the court room.
Counsel for the defense announced that
they would not offer any testimony.
Mrs. Cannon, a bride of three weeks,
told sensational story of mistreatment
at the hands of her husband and related
how she had gone out to drive with Hall
at the suggestion of her husband and
that upon being Informed by Hall that
one could no longer have home at the
Cannon domicile, she inquired for n
boarding house and was taken by Hall
to place on Main street, where she
remained until discovered yesterday.
John Mariner, one of the best known
business men of Norfolk, disclosed a plot
to ruin the woman in order to manufac-
ture evidence in favor of Cannon for a
divorce. He testified that Smith had re-
lated to him the terms of bargain by
which he was to receive 500 for his
share in the iniquity, and had received
an advance payment of SIS. The hear
ing will be resumed in the morning,
when other developments may he expect
ed. 1t is thought probable that Smith
will turn states evidence.

TYLER FRUIT PALACE.
4 Baby Show and Piano Contest.
Fruit Growers, DAY.

Tyler. Tex, July 21.-(Special.)-There
was rather unusual interest and excite
ment at the palace yesterday, the chief
causes being the piano and baby con-
tests. both of which were held under the
auspices of the ladies' annex. The piano
contest was participated in by eight girls.
their ages being 16 years.
Miss Ruby Cherry, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. w. p. Cherry, was the winner
of the first prize. and little Miss Lorine
Hamilton won the second prize.
The baby contest, like all baby CON
tests. was most exciting one from start
to finish. The judges selected in this
were Mrs. Saunders of Austin. Mrs. r..
Browne and Col. Dean. The first prize
was awarded to Mr.. and Mrs. +. b..
Eberly's baby. and the second to Mr..
and Mrs. Walter Wilcy's little son. Thos.
Joseph Wiley. There was very large
number of entries.
Today is Fruit Growers day at the
palace. and the fair grounds have con-
tanned a large crowd all day. This es-
pecial occasion has served to draw not
only a great many borticulturiStS of this
county. but also many fruit growers from
surrounding counties.
