quilted. Mr. Bottomley, against whom
was pitted some of the finest legal tai
ent in England, insisted on conducting
his own defense and did this, as the
presiding Judge remarked at the close
Of the trial, with remarkable ability and
an unusual knowledge of corporation
law.
Public interest in the result of the
trial was very keen, and the defects in
the statutes regulating the conduct of
public companies. behind which Mr..
Bottomley sheltered himself, proved to
be so many and so glaring that the
presiding judge, on receiving the YER

the bench that parliament should alter
the law with respect to the obligations
of directors so that there might not
be a second failure Of Justice The

Of him since. The issuance Of the cal

much surprise as the original collaps,

Buried in the Mississippi.

St. Louis, May 26.-The ashes of
Rudolph Rosin were cast into the Mis-
sissippi river last evening, from near
the center of the Eads bridge. Rosin
had spent most of his life in the vicin-
ity of Cincinnati. About year ago
he visited his birthplace in northern
Germany and while there was taken
sick and died. During his illness he
prepared will in which he provided
that his body should be cremated and
his ashes returned to his Cincinnati
relatives, and kept by them until May
23, 1897, the anniversary of his birth,
and then thrown from the Eads bridge
of St. Louis into the Mississippi river.
Last evening well-dressed man
walked on the bridge from St. Louis.
He carried a small black box. When
near the center he stopped, opened the
box and emptied what appeared to be a
few handfuls of ashes into the river
below. Without priest or prayer, all
that remained of Rudolph Rosin was
thus cast into the great river.

The Proposed Duty on Tea.

Dubuque, Ia, May 26.-The whole
sale grocers of Iowa who have been
caught on the short side of tea have
sent delegation to Washington to see
what Senator Allison can do for them.
Before the tariff of ten cents pound
on tea was publicly suggested by the
senate committee these grocers sold for
future delivery in such quantities that
one Chicago house stands to lose $780,
900 if compelled to furnish taxed tea,
and Iowa houses will also lose heavily.
The importers have discounted the
future and have sold their stocks at
liberal advance on former prices. One
Chicago and New York house is report
ed to have cleaned up $3.50, 900, and
other importers are supposed to have
done equally we'll. The grocers tried
to cover, with the result that the de-
mand for immediate shipment raised
in Japan ~ cents. Some of the gro
GERS, rather than stand this, decided to
countermand their orders and take
their chances of securing a modification
of the tariff bill.
The delegation sent to Washington
was appointed at conference in Chi
cago last week and headed ny F. A.
Hancock, of Dubuque. They will ask
that the tariff bill be amended to pro-
vide for rebate on the tax on all tea
imported to fill orders taken before the
senate bill was repOrted.

Chicago, May 26.-While lying un-
der bed in the home of Frank Bialk,
the former night watchman at the
Luetgert factory, one of Captain Schut-
tiers detectives is said to have lis
tened to a conversation between the ac-
cused wife murder and the watchman.
The admissions made by Luetgert ON
this OCCASION are said to have caused
the immediate arrest of the men, and
the story of what his employe will be
told tomorrow in Justice Kersten's
court. Other portions of Bialk's testi-
mony will be nearly as interesting. He
will swear that Luetgert ordered him
to remain away from the vat room on
the night of May 1, that twice during
the night he sent him out for a bottle
of medicine. Upon his return with
these articles Luetgert each time op-
ened the barred doors, reached through
the opening, took the bottle and hast
lily closed and barred the door.
Several witnesses were examind in
the case today, but nothing Of import
ance was developed.

New York, May N25.-Two persons
were killed and three seriously injured
in fire which was started shortly aft
er 4 o'clock this morning in the four

Jennings and fell with q crash to the

CHASED BY SPANIARDS.
Exciting Experience of British Frui
Steamer OF Cape Maysi.

Exciting Experience of British Fruit
Steamer OF Cape Maysi.
Philadelphia, May 25.-After being
chased twice by Spanish gunboats and
passing through perfect storm OF
shot, which splashed in the water
across the vessels bow, the British
fruit steamer Ethelred passed through
the exciting ordeal unscathed, and ar
rived at this port tonight. after a five
days. run from Port Antonio, Jamaica.
When the Ethelred left here May
12, it was the intention of Captain
Hart to accompany her, but he was ar
rested as he was about to step ON the
gangplank to go aboard. As it was,
his invalid daughter was passenger.
1t is supposed that agents of the Span
ish government in this city had notified
the Spanish authorities at Havana that
Hart would be on the vessel, hence the
effort to hold up the Ethelred in Gu
ban waters.
The first encounter with the Spanish
cruisers occurred off Cape Maysi on the
trip down. Just after dusk, on Sun
day evening, May 16, gunboat with
out any lights shot out from under the
Maysi capes, and, crowding on all
steam, steered directly for the fruit
vessel.
After steaming for an hour without
gaining an inch, the gunboat turned a
searchlight on the other vessel. All
steam possible was crowded on the
Ethelred, which was beginning to show
clean pair of heels to the Spaniard,
until cloud Of smoke belched from
the cruisers side and second later a
solid shot cut the water half mile
ahead of her bow. Then came Sec
ond and third shot, each nearer than
the others. Captain Israel kept on his
course, and after an hours chase the
Spaniard dropped from the race.
The second chase happened last
Thursday in the exact spot where the
first attempt to hold up the vessel oc-
Cured. just as the Ethelred rounded
Cape Maysi, big Spanish gunboat of
the newest type started from the cape
and gave chase to the Ethelred. For
two hours the chase was kept up, en-
livened now and then by a solid shot
throwing up sheet of white spray just
ahead of the swift vessels bow. 1t
began to look as if the Spaniard meant
to chase the Ethelred clear to the Della.
ware capes, when another steamer was
sighted and the gunboat sheered of
and gave vigorus chase to the newly
discovered steamer.

Calhoun Says Spanish Omcials in Cuba
Have Hindered Him in His Investi-
gations-General Lees Report.
Chicago, May 25.-A special to the
Times-Herald from Washington says:
The state department has received,
according to a minor official, semi
official report from Mr.. Calhoun, who
was sent to make special inquiry into
the circumstances of the death of Ruiz.
The report is that DR.. Ruiz was MUIR
dered, though it will be impossible to
establish this fact to the satisfaction of
the Spanish government.
Calhoun has read the report of the
autopsy, made by DR.. Burgess, who
says the wounds in the head could not
have been inflicted by Ruiz himself.
DR.. Ruiz was evidently struck from be-
hind, probably with a bar of iron,
which fractured his skull and caused
hemorrhages.
The report of Mr.. Calhoun, it is said,
goes further, and declares that the
Spanish officials, instead of doing any
thing to assist the investigation, are
placing every obstacle in the way, and
using every effort to SO frighten the
witnesses that it will be impossible to
secure full testimony.

suicide of Mrs. Vehrs Yav, the sensa-
tlonal drowning this afternoon of Dan
Sinclair, one of Ritzville's most promi-

the staid old residents Of this town
shock that they will long remember.
Sinclair, in company with five young
men, started at 9 A. M. for general
days outing, their destination being
about IL miles from town. Upon ar

and all went in bathing. Sinclair, who
was unable to swim, had waded out
few yards from shore, and accidentally
stepped off into deep and treacherous
pool, and, before his excited compan-
ions could rescue him, had sank for
the last time. The news was brought
to this place, and everything possible
was done to recover the body, but with
out avail. Giant powder will be used
tomorrow in an effort to raise the body.
Sinclair was "a years Of age, and
leaves an aged father and mother to
mourn his loss.
