.SHE IS LUETGERT'S FRIEND Mary Siemering, the Domestic,
 Makes a Play. DlSPROVES PREVIOUS WORDS And Her Every Statement Shows Her Feeling For the Sausage Maker-Still
 on the Rack.

Chicago, Sept. 25.lTIhe strongest wit ness for the defense who has yet ap- peared in the Luetgetlt trial was on the stand today. The wItne1s was Mary SiemeIing, the domestic in the Luetgelir househcld, for love of whom, it is charg- ed by Nhe state, Ithe prisoner murdered his wife, There was no mistakirg the feeling of the girl towards Luetgelt. She was there to do him all the good in her bower, and she stood by him stoutly. She had made statelmenfs before the g1nnId jury and to the state's attorney before the trial began, and when her assertions on the stand today differed from the statements she is said to have alt ttlgt time given, she had net ithe slightest hesitancy in repudiatng any lining she might have said when not un- der cath.
 The sJalte's attorney subjected her to a rigid cross examination, and althoush he succeeded at times in confusing her shle was game auId ful of nerve to the paslt. She contradic.ed herself several itlmels but was quick to caltoh herself and the last shalteimsnlt thalt she made fin any part of her testimony was all ways in favor of the prisoner
 She denied in the most positive man. ner thaIt she had been a disturbing ele- msrJb u,Ieween Lueitgellt and his wife, and said that neither by night or day, alone or in company, had sine ever vis- qed Luetgert in his factory or elsewhere fin an improper manner. She insisted 0nat ufle prisoner had always been go5d ito his wife and that, in her opinion, the aaltter was cut of her mand and had. been SC for some time prior ito her disappear ance. Her cross-exam.naion was nos concluded today and win be taken up again Monday.

No Ground for Rumor.

Washington, Sept. 25.-Th+ recent transfer of some seventy-five sailors frcm New York to San Francisco, tha purchase of some service shells and n r:ported conference of naval militia e'f- ficers with Assistant Secretary Roose- welt at the navy department, have given rise to a suspicion of active operations on the part of the naval department, which, it may be stated on the best au- thorty, are not wall founded. There has been no conference between the naval militia officials with the depart merit officials at the navy departmsnt or elsewh ere. Tn: commander of the Michigan naval reserve was in Wash ington recently, but his interview was confined entirely in reporting upon the possibility of gstting the Yantic up through the lake canals to Detroit The supplies contracted for have been pur- chased by act of congress with ksti- mates submitted last year and were in accordance of the usual routine and finally tho navy departm mt has been making no preparations at all out of the ordinary in the matter.

GREAT BRITAIN DECLINES
To Participate With Russia and Japan in the
 Sealing Conference.

LortIon, Sept. 25.-A decided sensation has been caused in diplomatic circles hero by Great B1rltains notification to the Uniteld States that she cannot par thcipate in thle scaling conference at Washington if Russia and Japan take part in it. The officials of the British foreign office decline to give the reasons for this change of policy, but they ad- mitted that Lord Salisbury had notified the United States ambassador, Col. John Hay, eff his dsc.eo.n in this matter, but 'uhey thought the premier's deciso,n is not absolute.
 The adt.on of the Marquis of Sal. sbury ifs all the ndore surprising from the fact Hhlalt he accepted on the part of Great Britain uhat she wclli take part in tIe conference with the full knowledge that Russia and Japan would also be e-:- tended an InvDtaiion.
 Ut is said the Canadian government re- quested ,thle withdra wal of Great Britan frcm the scaling conference. and the government umwiIMrgFy acceded to this request, in accordance with its policy of cultivaI;sng the friendship of the colonies even at the risk of offend ng other pow CTS concerned. Ut is thought in dipco- msIUlc circles uhat CalaIda's action in the premises was Grtiuenced by the fear UraIt Great Britain would be ouuvoted by the United States, Russia and Ja- pan, whcss views regarding the protec- flon of seals colnalde. Great Britain has not n5tifed Russia or Japan of her in- terleson nd; to take part in the confer cree, and her no. fee to the United $ ates was sent too late for the other three governments to change their arrange n, ,esr,arS

PAPER MAKERS
To Consolidate for the Purpose of Reducing
 Cost of Disposing of Wares.

New York. Sept. 25.-The Commercial Admertiser today says:
 The plan to consolidate the two larger paper manufactures which was talked of last year has beens revived. It was asserted this afternoon that the conces- shons having been made by all concerned it was now probable that the consotida- ton would be effected.
 At the local office of the Glen's Falls Paper. company, 63 Park Row, it was said that a meeting of the most prom.- nenT manufacturers would be held in this city in about ten days, at which it was expected final action would be taken. The purposes of tIhe consoLida- tion are to control the output and to ivduce the expenses of operations. 1t was said this forenoon that the con while Ju would not increase the price the consumers now pay.
 In the first place, said sales agent, there is to be a large reduction in the fiunpeF or SditSIleH ftQulrtu uHuef tme present system. Mills are to be required to do business in the territory in which they are located. At the present time western mills SSH to consumers in the south. The result is that a large of money is wasted In paying freight. This abuse is to be stopped Trade conditions are to he changed and money saved
 An object of the consolidation is an effort to develop the export trade which Is already growing rspidly.

SHOT HER ISSULTER.
An Italian MortaIIy wounded by . woman
He Had WronEed.


For tho past three weeks Lamberto Reincllo.
an Italian laborcr of 2O3 Elizabeth street, has,
It Is said. made insulting proposals TO Mrs. Ro-
sarino Beninscosco OF 207 Elm street. She said
nothing to her husband about 1t, as the two men
we're at work paving a street in Harlem under
the same contractor, and she feared her hus-
band would kill Reinello.
Yesterday afternoon Reincllo gave up work
and called on Mrs. Beninscosco. Presently there
and she ran out on Elm street, holding the still
smoking weapon in her hand. Policeman Koran
OF the Mulberry street station arrested her.
For over an hour no trace of Reinello could be
found. Finally he was discovered In his room
on the second floor at 2O3 Elizabeth street in a
semi.conscious condition. He had run tho whole
distance there. although he was seriously, per-
haps mortally. wounded.
Mrs. BeninSCoSco declared in the Centre Street
Police Court that Reinello had attempted to
from him, and, when he attacked her IA second
time, she grabbed the revolver, which was in a
bureau. and. pushing IL against the pit OF his
stomach, fired one shot.
.ltcincilo was taken to the Hudson Street Hos
pital. There he admitted having made many
insulting proposals to the woman, but he denied
that he had tried to maltrcat her. He said she
had called him into the house and had asked
him to hang some pictures for her. While his
back was turned she shot him.
An examination of his wound confirmed Rel
ncllo's story. He had been shot in the back, the
bullet lodging in the front wall OF tho stomach.
The surgeons believed the wound was a mortal
one.
Magistrate Cornell remanded Mrs. Benin
scosco to the TOmbs without bail to await the
result of Remedies injuries.
