AN IMPORTANT SUIT.
Charge of Conspiracy Against a
Company to Restrict Trade.

NEW YORK, June 2S.-Arguments
We're continued to-day in the trial of
President j. B. Duke and other officers
and directors of the American Tobacco
Company on the charge of conspiracy To
restrict trade.
Joseph II. Choate addressed the Jury
in behalf of the defendants. District
Attorney Olcott spoke for the prosecu
ton and the case was then given to the
jury
Judge Fitzgerald, in his instructions to
the Jury, said that the trial was an ex-.
ceedlngly important one. It was an ac-
tlcn brought by the public at large in
the name of the people of the State. He
would impress it upon the minds of the
jury that it was not civil suit in which
1t was sought to establish private
rights and remedy private wrongs.
Whether or not the facts alleged in the
Indictment constitute crime was q
question of law with which they han no
concern. 1t was for them to determine
whether or not the evidence established
the truth of the allegation After ruling
upon number of requests submitted bv
counsel for the defense, the Judge di-
rected the jury to retire.
At 1910 o'clock this (Tuesday) MORN
ing, the jury, not having reached any
decision, by order of the court was

MURDERER WOODS CAPTURED
He Gives an Arresting Constable
the Fight of His Life.

SPOKANE CWash.), June 2S.-A spe-

Nelson, b. c., says:
Murderer Woods, who recently es-
capped from jail, and Burglar Mcdonald
were captured two miles from here last
night by Special Constable A P Nc
Kinnon. While patroling the track on
handcar with two young men he saw
Woods and Mcdonald jump from the
track to- the bushes. McKinnon walk
ed to the spot and asked them If they
wanted to ride. Thinking him a sec
ton hand they replied that they did.
The car was then pumped toward
Waneta, where the provincial officers
We're in ambush.
Before reaching there Woods became
suspicious and ordered the car stop
ped, at the same time jumping from
the car and McKinnon catching his
sleeve Both fell from the car. Woods
was armed with a rifle and two pistols,
but the rifle was knocked from his
grasp in the fall A fearful fight then
ensued, the men rolling over on the
ground and striking and wrestling.
Woods got a pistol out of his pocekt
and repeatedly tried to fire into Nc
Kinnon's stomach, but for some reason
1t refused to work. Finally McKinnon
overpowered his adversary, pinning
him to the ground. The provincial Off
GERS in ambush, who had seen the men
jump from the car, arrived on the
scene and secured Woods. When the
men jumped from the car the two boys
secured Burglar Mcdonald.

mained on the streets, expecting that
the prisoners would be taken from JAIL
but nothing came of it. Not the least

Won BIEBERsTEIN DISMISSED.
Many Officials Being Changed
Around by the Kaiser.

BERLIN, June 2S.-As the health of
Baron Marschal Won Bieberstein, Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, is in no way
impaired the semi-official announce
ment of his retirement from the For
eign Office, which comes from Kiel to-
day, is regarded as a virtual dismissal
The Kaiser is expected to return here
during the latter part of August I'm
til that time the affairs of the Foreign
Office will be in the hands of Baron Won
Rothenhan, Under Secretary of State.
The theory is that this arrangement
is made to enable Baron Won Bulow to
accompany the Emperor and Prince
Hohenlohe to st. Petersburg, after
which PrincesHohenlohe will resign and
Baron Won Bulow succeed him.
Baron Won Kiderlon- Wachtoe, now
German Minister at Copenhagen, will
be appointed Foreign Secretary. Both
men are highly esteemed by the En-
peror, but the appointments will
certainly provoke a. great deal of critf-
clsm, because, though of the first rank
IN diplomacy, they are quite without
experience of parliamentary life.
Although not officially announced it is
tonight said that Won Boettischer has
actually resigned and will be succeeded
by Count Posadowsky-W Wehner, the
present Secretary of the Treasury.
Dr. Miquers chances appear to be
temporarily clouded.
General Podbielsl<yal will shortly be
gazetted as Postmaster-G General. This.
as we'll as the visit he has recently paid
TO Prince Bismarck, is looked upon as
confirming the report of the early res
1gnation of Prince Hohenlohe, who has
always strenuously opposed placing
such offices as the postal department in
the hands of men of military training.

There Is a Deficit

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Represen-
tative Shafroth of Colorado introduced
in the House a measure entitled "A
bill to encourage the economical ad-
ministration of the Government" 1t

FINANCE COMMITTEE.
It Considers the Tariff on Coal and
Other Questions.

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-There was
a gathering of Republican Senators
at the meeting of the Senate Finance
Committee at the Arlington Hotel to-
night. Most Of the time was spent in
discussing the rates to be imposed on
coal, and the provision to fix them so
that reciprocal arrangement may be ar
rived at with the Dominion of Canada.
No formal conclusion was arrived at,
the committee deferring final action un-
til the meeting tomorrow morning.
Strong arguments were advanced by
some of those present in favor of a
rate of 40 cents per ton on coal After
the meeting one member of the COM
mittee advanced the opinion that the
rate to be finally fixed would be 671a
cents per ton, but that there would be
no provision for a reciprocity agree
ment.
Three paragraphs relating to plaster
rock, or gypsum, also were discussed.
This product is now on the free list,
but Western Senators are striving for
a duty of 81 per ton. 1t went over
without action.

CAUGHT IN THE ICE.
Three of the San Francisco WhaI-
ing Fleet in Peril.

NEW BEDFORD (Mass), June 2S.-
Letters received in this city to-day from
Herschel Island bring the intelligence
that three of the staunchest steamers of
the San Francisco whaling fleet were
caught in the ice off the mouth of the
Mackenzie River last September and
could not make a harbor.
These vessels, the Mary D. Hume,
Captain VIM. Haggerty; the Jesse H.
Freeman, Captain w. S. Porter, and the
Fearless, Captain James McKenna,
were frozen in the ice while trying to
make a harbor. They were in no dam
ger during the winter, but the letters
state that during June when the ice
pack breaks uD, the vessels will have a
hard time of it and the chances are that
all three will be crushed in the ice. If
so the lives of from 120 to $50 men will
be in danger. The whalers We're short
of provisions and the crews had to haul
supplies from Herschel Island over the
ice on dog sledges to the vessels.

With the unusually large number of

him to decisive ballot. While the

mated, there is not visible opposition to

There was recently organized a State
league Of Silver Republicans in oppo-
sition to what is known as the Palmer
Buckner Democrats. This organization
has its representatives here demanding
the t-Governorship be given

LOS ANGELES, June 28.-The little
town Of Downey, in the southern part
of the county, is terribly excited to-day
over a peculiar case of abduction last
night. Miss Mayne, the daughter of
respectable well-to-do people, was
chlorformed and taken from her bed
room in her night dress by an unknown
man who entered through window.
At daylight this morning the young
woman was found wandering around in
a dazed condition a mile from home.
She has been unable as yet to give
clear description Of her strange alb
ductor, but a large posse with blood
hounds is securing the country about
Downey now. Several nights ago some
one attempted to enter room in the
house of DR.. Brunson at Downey, where
his daughter slept, but the intruder was
scared away.
Under Sheriff Clement returned from
Downey at 1 o'clock this afternoon,
where he went to investigate the alb
duction Of Miss Lee Mayne. He stat
ed that the people of Downey are much
puzzled over conflicting statements
made by the girl and doubts are ex-
pressed as to their truthfulness. There
is no doubt that the girl was absent
from her bed for two or three hours
this morning before daylight. Mr.. Gle
ment saw the parents of the girl, who
is only u years old, but large for her
age Mrs. Mayne stated that she was
awakened in the night by a strangling
noise.
She awobe her husband and they
made a search of the house, finding
their daughter gone. They were nat
uralfy very much alarmed and tried to
find her. About daylight she came
home and told them the story as CIV
en- above with some variations. The
parents say the girl told them that
while she was unconscious when car
ried away, she revived in the fresh air.
Her captor a young man, carried her
quite a distance and then attempted to
assault her., but failed. He finally let
her go home on the promise that she
would not tell what had happened. She
says, when she came near her home,
as her abductor was carrying her
away, she tried to scream, but he
choked her and threatened to kill her
if she did not keep still.
The officers think it would have been
almost impossible for the girl to have
been taken away. as she says, for her
abductor would have had to pass di-
rectly by Mrs. Mayne's bedroom door.
