Drawn, Tell Each Other Things.

ST. Louis, December ia riot oc-
Cured in the First District police
court to-day during which Judge
Thomas H. Peabody, on the bench, sat
with his revolver in his hand, while
Attorney J. D. Stortis, with drawn
weapon, denounced the judge in un-
measured terms, because of decision
he declared unfair to his clients. The
attorney was defending four women
charged with being questionable char
acters, and the Judge declined to con-
tinue their case for more than one
DAY. This angered Stortis, who drew
his revolver and launched into lurid
denunciation Of the judge. The judge
drew his revolver and called for Off
GERS to throw the attorney out The
officers responded and after a battle,
during which furniture was demolish-
ed, the lawyer was placed behind the
bars. The trial was then taken up
and the women fined heavily.

decided to raise the question Of the
right Of Major General Wheeler to par
ticipate in the proceedings of the House
should he attempt to exercise the priv
ileSe Of member. He will also raise
the question as against either of the
three other members Of the House who
entered the service of the United States
during the war with Spain, Messrs-
Robbins. Republican. OF Pennsylvania;
Colson, Republican, of Kentucky. and
Campbell. Democrat. OF Illinois. Mono
OF these members of the House who
entered the military service has par
ucipated in the proceedings since the
session convened, either to introduce
bills or vote upon roll call. but last
Saturday night Gen. Wheeler attended
the Democratic caucus. AS none bus
Democratic members of Congress are
members Of the Democratic caucus. Mr..
Bailey says this raises the presumption
that Gen. Wheeler contemplates resum-
ing his seat in the House.
Concerning the question at issue Mr..
Galley said to-day:
Il am simply insisting upon an obed-
fence to one of the plainest provisions
of the constitution. Section 6. of Ar
ticle !, declares that no person holding
any Office under the United States shall
be a member of either house during
his continuance in office"

Ropidly-hfrs Botkin Gro wing Nervous.
SAN FRANCISCO, December 13.-The
Botkin case is proceeding with great
rapidity. The cross examination OF the
witnesses who have already appeared has
been gone through with rapidly and the
attorneys for the defense have not been
al all severe in their questioning. 1t is
presumed that their great effort will be
made when it comes to the connecting
of the poison with their client. Mrs. Bot
kin appears to be getting more nervous
under the strain. She has repeatedly de-
clined invitations to question witnesses.
DIR. Wolff the analytical chemist who
analysed some of the candy sent to Mrs.
Dunning, testified that he found about a
half a grain of porcelain arsenic in the
three pieces. He identified some of the
candy, but could not identify the box.
His testimony was of an expert nature.
The Supreme Court has disposed of the
contention of one Harper. that the Su
perior Court lacked jurisdiction in the
case of Mrs. Botkin. In answer to the
petition of Harper that the Supreme Court
pass upon the question, the Supreme
Court wrote across the back of the petit
ton:
THE petition within is hereby denied.
