stored 70 the record.
MI Prentiss also testified that Nj Sey-
mour also desired TO withdraw all Of the
testimony given on a certain day.
MI Seymour said that on that day he
had stated that he had not sold stocks to
Senator Gray. That, having made an ex-
Ception, he did not desire To testify in that

attorney had a subpoena tecum duces is

In the interim Judge Wilson continued his

In tie course oil his argument he referred to
Senator Quay, stating that he bad bought
sugar stock

do about IL?
Judge wilson-And there were others
who contemplated In gauZy way" that

which there was no reply by the district
attorney. the court asked:
Leaving out the question Of the sum-

The Court-That seems 10 be the neoes-
sary conclusion, even If the defendant were
summoned legally, and it would he a waste
of time to take further testimony and hear

Of inquiry, whether any Senator bought
or sold sugar stocks pending the cOnsdera-
ton OF the tariff bill, was eventually an
swered, though the defendant declined to
answer at first: but any time before the
report was certified to the Senate would
be sufficient.
Tic court directed the jury to acqut,
and the defendant was discharged.

So intense has the excitement be-

BOMB FOR LEE.

Some of the ultra Spaniards in Cuba
propose to make it hot for the United
States. If not by the ordinary chan
mel OF war, they propose to make war
upon the United States Consul-Gen-
eral at Cuba, Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. On
last Wednesday an Internal machine
was found on the ground floor of the
house in Cuba street, Havana, occu-
pied by the consulate of the United
States. The Internal machine was a
box of wood, containing matches and
cotton, in the center of which was a
tin tube about foot long, filled with
what appears to have been an explo-
sive substance. The box was designed
to explode when open.
The police guarding the consulate
Immediately seized the box and the
authorities began an investigation, the
box having been sent to experts for
analysis of the substance contained in
the tube. While the news of the dis
covery of this internal machine, in no
manner excited the consul general,
the fact that such a machine was
found created intense excitement in
Havana. There is general apprehen-
sion there that an attack is liable to be
made on the American Consulate at
any time, and only few days ago a
Havana paper published an article
contending that some American news
paper was trying to create trouble be-
tween Spain and the United States by

Between this time and Jan. LIST
nearly 600 subscriptions to The Ga

The publishers have found this a
very satisfactory way of handling the
large list, and nearly all of our SUBJ

whose subscriptions expire during
that time, and the expirations are
