Luetgert's Defense Will Consume Ten

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 21.-The direct evil

State has rested. Shortly after 2 o'clock
this afternoon the last witness Of the
prosecution was heard. This witness was
Mrs. Louise Miller Johnson She has

testified that upon one occasion she saw
Luetgert in rage chase his wife out Of
their house. The big sausage maker, the
witness said, was armed with q revolver.
He called his wife names and threatened
to shoot, but did not. Ex-Judge Vincent
did not cross-examine this witness at
length. When she left the stand States
Attorney Deneen said: ''If the court
please, the State rests" There was not
a movement in the crowded room as the
spectators glanced toward Luetgert and
his counsel. Luetgert himself leaned for
ward and whispered to ex-Judge Vincent.
The latter arose and made formal mo-
tion that the case be taken from the jury
on the ground that the State had failed
to make out a case. Judge Tuthill prompt
ly overruled the motion without argu-
ment.. Then ex-Judge Vincent stated
owing to the lateness of the hour he
would like to postpone his opening ad-
dress to the jury until tomorrow morn
ing. There was no objection to this and an
adjournment was taken. 1t required
twenty days for the presentation of the
evidence OF the prosecution. Ex-Judge
Vincent said tonight: "My address to the
jury in opening will be short and directly
to the point. We deny the murder; the
corpus delicti has not been proved. as the
law requires. We will explain away all
the evidence brought out here by the po-
lice depaj after months of investi-

Him and His Pie. ...-..-t--
Washington, D. c., Sept. 21.-The case
of Postmaster Loftin, of Hogansville,
Ga, who was shot and slightly wounded
some days ago, came up for considera-
tion IN the cabinet meeting today. The
report of the agent sent to Hogansville
by the Postoffice Department to make
an investigation was presented by Post
master General Gary. 1t is said that the
report showed that the postmaster was
not at all dismayed by the course events
have taken and was fully determined not
to yield up his position because of the
prejudice against him on account of his
color. 1t is also said the report touched
upon the new appointee's standing in the
community before his appointment, show
ing among other things that he was
highly regarded, having been elected by
white votes to the position of a teacher
in the public schools. No action was TAX
en- for the present, the President hoping
that the calmer Judgment of the people
of Hogansville will prevail and Loftin
be permitted to continue the duties of his
position without molestatiOn.

of 80 degrees at the Clyde Line dock
under the East River bridge. The
Onieda came into port last night leak
ing badly. Her crew had Il narrow
escape for their lives, as after entering
che dock she suddenly lurched and filed
with water As soon as possible sings
were run under her keel, and made fast
to the Seminole's derricks. These sings
and some guys prevented her capsizing.
Her bottom is on the mud.
Captain Staples stated that on Mon
day, when off the Delaware Capes,
the steamer encountered heavy north
west gale which careened her terribly,
thereby shifting the cargo and caus-
ing the vessel to strain and leak. He
abandoned his course to Boston and
headed for this port He declared that
the ship had not been in collision, nor
had she struck a rock or submerged
wreck. Sailormen along shore, however,
who saw how the wreck lay submerged.

hole in her port quarter-a larger hole
than mere straining would make.

The Flood of Foreign Goods.

The food of foreign goods coming
into the country just now is indicated
in some degree by the customs re-
ceipts of the month just ended. The
total duties on imported goods paid
in April was $24, 454 351, which is far
in excess of any month since 1890
and double that Of any month in the
past year with the exception of
M rch. This indicates to some ex-
tent the haste with which the foreign
manufacturers and importers are fill
ing the warehouses of the country
with foreign goods IN anticipation of
the new tariff and justifes the recent
statement of Chairman Dingley that
the warehouses o. the country will
probably contain years supply of
foreign goods by the time the new law
can be put into operation. 1t is there
f r. idle tC expect that manufacture
ing industries can revive during this
abnormal influx of foreign goods or
even in the first few months after the
new law goes into effect.
Fourteen vessels laden with free
wool sailed into Boston harbor in one
dav last week. 1t is evident that a
wears supply of foreign wool will have
been brought into the country before
the new tariff act can possibly be put
upon the statute books, even with a
continuance OF the rapid work which
congress has made thus far in its con-
s deratiOn.
And still there are people who are
W 'nderlng why prosperity has not
come already. With hundreds of mil
Ii ms OF dollars going abroad for foreign
pr ducts instead of into the hands of
our own people, it is unreasonable to
expect any great improvement as the
result Of the late election until the
legislation required OF the new con-
gress can be enacted.-TOledoB Blade.

outlook for BimetaIIiSm.

LONDON, May 14.-There was a
meeting here yesterday of the bimetal-
Tic parliamentary committee of the
house of commons. Apart from the
members of parliament, there were
several prominent bimetallists and
we'll known labor leaders present. Sir
VIM. Houldesworth, conservative. who
was one of the delegates of Great
Britain to the monetary conference at
Brussels IN 1892, presided. He refer
red in his address upon the opening OF
the meeting to the growth of bimetal-
Tic opinion in England and other
countries, and pointed to the fact that
the special commissioners of the
United States were now on their way
to France to confer with the bimetal-
lists OF the country. The chairman
also expressed his opinion in strong
terms that the prospects of an early
international agreement were never
more hopeful.
The committee decided to closely
watch the international negotiations
and hold itself ready to actively CO.
operate with them.
