nous Maybrfck poisoning case. She was
condemned to Death, but the sentence was
revised by the British minister and changed
to Imprisonment for life.
Mr.. Carcw, who was the secretary Of the
Yokohama United club, died on Oct. % Of
arscnical poisoning after q few days ILL.,
ness. He lived with his wife and young
children upon "the Bluff" which Is the
fashionable portion Of the reservation set
aside for foreign residents Of Yokohama.
The Carews had been six years in Japan,
having gone there from Singapore, where
Mr.. Carew was in the British East India
civil service.
They were both highly connected in Eng
land, Mrs. Carew's father being mayor Of
the city in which he lives. During his H.
ness Carew was nursed by his wife, and
she was practically the only person who
had access to the sickroom. The nursery
governess, having been sent by Mrs. Carew
TO q Japanese chemists for arsenic, learn
ed that Q great quantity Of the poison was
being consumed in the Carew household.
This and whisperings she had heard among
the servants excited her suspicion. She
communicated the suspicion to the ply
stefan n attendance upon Mr.. Carew, and
after the death q the latter an inquiry was
promptly instituted.
Then It wa that sensational develop
ments began TO appear. Before there wa
any public intimation that suspicion rested
upon her Mrs. Oarew employed two law
yers to attend the proceedings Of the coro-
ner's inquest.
She went upon the witness stand, and,
after admitting the occurrence of Quarrcls
between herself and her husband about
money matters, told of the appearance In
her domestic circle of q mysterious "wom-
an In black" whom her testimony alone
pointed to rs an enemy and probably the
poisoner of Mr.. Carew. This mysterious
stranger was supposed to be one Annie
Luke, to whom Mr.. Carew had been en-
gagged to be married when he lived in Eng
land.
A yelled woma did call at the Carew
residence n evening, and letters signed
Annie Luke" and "a. L." were received
by the coroner and by Carew before the
death Of the latter. That there was such
o person in England and that Carew be-
lieved she had followed him to Japan to
annoy him is certain. That the "woman
in black" her Identification with An
ME Luke were the inventions Of designing
persons now seem equally certain.
The letter to the coroner said that Carew
and the writer would soon be no more, de-
clared the futility Of following any clew to
the writer and gratuitously absolved from
all guilt ''that little fool of a wife" 1t
was brought out at the inquest that q note
from "a. L." to Carew was written on a
scrap Of paper that had previously been
used for a note from Carew to his wife.
The authorities made q most thorough
search for the woman in black" and not
a trace of her was found outside the mystic
rious letters, except that a servant in the
Carew household testified that "a strange
woman, closely yelled, had called one even

If the old French monarchy and aris-

reached by acquiring Russian and Hun

house ADOPTS The REPORT

The conference report on the tariff
bill was adopted by the House by a
vote of 185 to 11S. This eclipses all
| previous records.
The result was accomplished after
| twelve hours of continuous debate.
But two speeches were made by the
republicans, one by Mr.. Dingley in
opening the debate, and one by Mr..
Payne, in closing it. The democrats
were thus forced to put forth speaker
after speaker, but their bombardment
of the republican position was un-
answered.
In all ten democratic and one popu-
list speech were made. The sugar
schedule was the main point of as
, sault but the most interesting feature
of the debate occurred when Mr..
Bailey and Mr.. McMillin, the two
rival democratic leaders, crossed
swords on the question Of the ortho
doxy of the free raw material doc
trine, the former opposing and the
latter championing it.
Every republican IN the House who
was present voted for the report. The
democrats, with five exceptions, vot-
ed against the report. The excep-
tions were Slayden of Texas, Brous-
sard of Louisiana, Meyer of Louisiana,
Davy of Louisiana and Kelberg of Tex
as. The populists and silverites did not
vote solidly. Mr.. Shafroth of Colo
rado and Mr.. Newlands of Nevada,
silverites, abstained from voting. Mr..
Hartman, silverite, of Montana, did
not vote.
An analysis of the vote shows that
$50 republicans and five democrats
