| When the indictment was read Palmer
rose the handouts having been removed
| from his wrists, and glanced toward the
clerk not sullenly but rather with the
combination of despair and resignation
depicued on his countenancs. There Was
no appeal for pity indicated, neither
naughty indifference nor the hraggadooio
of hardened criminal, but rather the
indication of pentitence, tho result of
due reflection and regret. Palmer ap-
peared as he should. Unquestionably he
felt much as he looked. Fer some time
he has eomprehended the fact that what
ever punishment was allotted him he
had com mittsa orims deserving it.
So the perfunotory reading Of the for
NAL decree was " heard with peculiar
solemnity. Palmer gave difddent heed
and stood waiting the completion Of this
duty. He knew his part and responded
clearly and simply:
'Guilty.''
Hero he sat down and bowed his head
but shortly raised it and his features
seemed to assure stony stolidity ami his
whole demeanor that Of Indifference and
immobility. He directed his attention to-
wards the court and his gaze wandered

however, found no finohing nor aversion.

Senate Agreed to His appointment az

Washington, January 1s.-ln execu-
tive session this afternoon the nomlna-
tion of DAVID r. Francis of Missouri to
be Secretary of the Interior, was called
up. Senator Vest said he had nothing
further to say about the case. he de-
clared that he did not oppose Mr. Fran
els ON personal grounds, but ON account
of his treatment of the democratic tick

by common consent, the yeas and nays not

A bill to provide for permanent CEN
sus was introduced by Mr.. Chandler,
Republican of New Hampshire and re-
ferred to the committee on census The
House oleomargerine bill was reported. to
the Senate and laid ON the table for the
present.
At p. M. q motion WAS made by Mr.
Morgan, Democrat of Alabama, TO pre- :
ceed to the consideration of the MIC
aragua Canal bill. The motion was
agreed to; yeas. 38; nays, IA. Tha bill
was read in full and then laid aside en-
porarily to permit the transaction of
other business. The Presidents message
transmitting the report of the commits
sioners appointed to inquire as to the
feasibility of constructing a canal be-
tween the Great Lakes and the Atlantic
ocean was laid before the Senate and re-
ferred to the committee on commere.
The Nicaraguan bill was then taken
up. Mr.. Morgan addressed the Senate.
He said the committee oil the Nicaragua
canal was unanimous in the approval of
every feature of the bill. He was satisfied
that it was the best bill yet presented on
the subject. 1t was more conservative
and left more power in the hands of the
President than any former bill. There
was but one parallel case by which any
Judgment could be reached as to the
profits and that was the Suez canal.
There were two OTHER standards fur
nished in the United States as to the cost
and facility of construction and as to the
effect on the increase of the interior COM
meroe of the country. Those were the
drainage canal at Chicago.

curiosity to sea the two when judgment
was passed upon them.
This accounted for the large number
in the ooust room at the time court
opened. There was scarcely standing
room, and the long drawn out oonsnlta-
tions and conferences in reference to The
civil docket did not seem to bother the
spectators in the slightest for all re
manned till the prisoners weIe arraigned.
There wero many women in the balcony
and some down stairs alao and there was
a great craning Of necks to catch q
glimpse of the ywo Parsanstield principals
when they entered the room.
It was 1915 before the court had
finished clearing up tlls civil docket, and
hen Judge Whitehouse asked County
Attorney Emmons if he had any criminal
business ami was answered thai he had.
Then Officers Miles, Spencer. Beeoham
