THE PRELIMINARY
HEARING CONTINUED
The Prosecution Not Yet Ready to
Go on With the Celebrated Case.
Still Taking Affidavits.

The preliminary examination of Mrs.
Cordelia Botkin, on the charge of murder.
has gone over for another week. The case
came up at II o'clock yesterday morning
in Police Judge Joachimsens court and
at the request of Attorney Madden, who
appeared for the defense, the hearing was
ordered for next Wednesday morning
None of the attorneys for the defense
were present. nor was Mrs. Botkin, al
corridors with the expectation of seeing
her.
1t will probably be again necessary to
continue both the habeas corpus proceed
day morning, as 1t is not expected that
Governor Budd will have rendered his de-
cision on the requisition papers by that
time.
The taking of affidavits goes rapidly on,
but there yet remains an immense amount
of work for Chief Lees to perform The
one witness of note who was in consulta-
tion with Chief Lees yesterday, was Mrs
Rauof, who still persists in the same reti-
cence as to her knowledge of the case
that has characterized her course from
the beginning
Mrs Botkin spent the day in chatting
with her sister and her attorneys who,
from time to time, dropped in to discuss
the case.
Chief Lees said last night that his his
toric black valise was nearly filled and
that to-day tomorrow would see it
chock-a-block with the testimony of his
witnesses
The Chief looks tenderly on that grip
as his most potent mascot In 1t he car
ried the evidence that hanged Theodore
Durrant, convicted Hoff and nearly every
other notable criminal that he has sue
cessfully prosecuted. Whether or not it
has lost any of its efficacy will be dem
onstrated at the finish of the present

Chamber ordered the doors closed Senor
Salmeron cried out: II solemnly prom
ise the country that the Republicans
will publish all the deliberations of the
secret sittings, for we are determined
to violate the secrecy which the Gov
ernment imposes"
During the tumult in the Senate sew
eral Senator's were called to order.
Count d 'Almenas, speaking again, de-
clined, in spite Of the appeals of his
friends. to withdraw a single word he
had already uttered. He repeated that
the surrender at Santiago was dis
honorable"
Ultimately the Republican and Car
list Deputies quilted the Chamber as
a protest against the secret sitting.
They held a meeting later, but failed to
arrive at an arrangement, and the
meeting was adjourned until to-mor-
row.
The Chamber, by a vote of 102 to 40,
resolved to discuss Senor Salmeron's
motion for an investigation into the re-
sponsibility of the Government in con-
nection with the war, but in the alb
sence Of the Republican and Carlist
Deputies debate was impossible and the
House adjourned.

wrapper and of the note in the box tes-
timony of grave suspicion against Mrs.
Botkin. The purchase of arsenic and
the analysis of the State chemist of
Delaware give further facts of circum-
stantial Importance and carrying out
their own logical policy of detection the
police have bent every energy to trace
to Mrs. Botkin the only remaining ele-
ment of evidence that might point to-
ward the woman.
This element of possible evidence is
contained in the stamps that were used
upon the box of candy. One two-eent
stamp and four five-cent stamps were
used and every effort has been made to
trace them to the purchaser. The Post
office in this city has been ransacked
from top to bottom. Hundreds of en-
ployeS in the general office and in the
sub-stations have been questioned but
to no purpose. Since the abolition of
stamp agencies it was reasonable to
suppose that the five-cent stamps were
bought at one of the Postoffices. Very
few druggists handle stamps of a large
denomination. There is a sub-Post-
office three blocks away from where
Mrs. Botkin lived, but although the
employees have been closely questioned
they cannot say that Mrs. Botkin
bought the stamps. Hundreds of SINH
lar ones are purchased every week and
it is utterly impossible for the clerks
to remember the incidents of each sale.
Mrs. Botkin did not appear yesterday
before Police Judge Joachimsen. The
charge of murder against her was not
heard by request of the defense. The
proceeding was continued for week.
The Examiner grew hysterical yes
terday morning in an effort to connect
Mrs. @. Harris as witness in the
case against Mrs. Botkin. Mrs. Harris
knows nothing of the affair and very
candidly said so. She was a clerk at
the City of Paris. and with scores Of
other clerks was questioned by the au-
thorities. She knew absolutely MOTH
ing, and the police naturally paid no
further attention to her.
The story of her supposed evidence
was on an equality of nonsense with
that published by the Examiner in ref
erence to Mrs. c. Jacobs, who does not
know Mrs. Botkin and has no desire
| to know her. Mrs. Jacobs does not
know Dunning or any one else In the
| case. She sells candy and the Exam
iner drew conclusion natural to itself
that she must be connected with the
Dunning murders.

TWO WOMEN PERISH
In A PRESCOTT FIRE
Hemmed in by the flames and Smoke

engaged till late last night in packing the
furniture preparatory to moving out to-
day. He was awakened by dog jumping
on him. The room was full of smoke, and
he had a narrow escape from Suffocation.
Owing to the scarcity of water, Judge H.
T. Andrews home adjoining caught fire,
and it was here wnIle men were helping
to remove the furniture from this house
that the casualties occurreu. The occu-
pants of the house were aroused in ample
time to escape with their lives, but in an
effort to save tie furniture the victims
were Gagged in by a sudden gust of flame
and smoke, Mrs. Andrews and Celia N.Y.

burned to a crisp.
DR.. butcher jumped from the second
story to the hall below, and in addition to
being seriously burned suffered fracture
Of several bones of the foot. His condl-
tion is not considered dangerous.
The property loss is 5000 or $4,000, both
houses being complete losses, while Davis
only saved one chair and his trunk. The
insurance was about $2000

MADRID, Sept. THE Chamber has
followed the Senate in discussing the
late war behind closed doors. This
action has caused the greatest sensa-

Senor Salmeron, the Republican leader,
moved that an investigation be made
into the responsibility of Senior Sa-
gasta's Government in connection with
the declaration of war, the, negotia-
tions for peace and the violation of the
constitution by the suspension of the
guarantees.
The Premier, Senior Sagasta, quickly
asked that the deliberations be con-
Quoted behind closed doors, and the
President pronounced favorably on
the request. Thereupon the Republi
cans and Conservatives vehemently
protested, and amid an indescribable
confusion the doorkeepers cleared the

GAMBLING PERMITTED
WHILE THE FAIR LASTS
When the States Show Closes Mayor
Land of Sacramento Will Order
a Raid

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 7.-Considerable
alarm was felt by gamblers this morning
when they heard that Mayor Land had in
structed Chief Of Police Dwyer to close
the various games that have been in op-
Grafton since the opening of the fair. In
many gambling places extra guards were
stationed at the entrances to warn deal
ers of the approach of the police. Rather
than suffer the consequences of being ar
rested the proprietors of several games
packed their ''layouts," preparatory to
leaving the city. Tonight, however the
Mayor rescinded his order and the games
are running wide open.
When asked If he intended to prohibit
gambling during the fair the Mayor said:
II am unalterably opposed to brace
games and as there were number in
operation since the fair opened l con-
cluded to stop everything in the form Of
gambling, realizing that many strangers
would be robbed by these sure-thing
games. l notified Chief Dwyer to close
them. AS Mayor of this city feel that
1t is my duty to protect persons who visit
us and who financially assist in making
the fair a success. For this reason con-
cluded to call halt and so instructed
the Chief of Police
Chief Dwyer, when spoken to, said that
he had been ordered by the Mayor to
close all games, and that he intended to
carry out his instructions TO the letter.
There will not be another card turned -
remarked the head of the Police Depart

and intend to obey it."

LONDON, Sept. THE correspond
ent of the STANDARD, who is on board
the Camperdown, says: Edhem Pasha,
the Governor, has just arrived Gate
Wednesday afternoon) on board the
Camperdown Captain Hughes -Hallett,
who spoke with him, saw no necessity
for using diplomatic language and told
him plainly in strong terms that as
Governor he would be held responsible
in the event of any further disturb
ances. Edhem Pasha asserted that he
was powerless to control the mob, but
his sincerity seems very doubtful, see
ing that he had over 1000 Turkish troops
under his orders.
A message signaled from the town
reports that the guard of eight British
soldiers who, with about thirty Chris
tians, took refuge in the Greek cathe
dral, is quite safe under the protec-
ton of the Turkish troops. So
Yesterday the chiefs of the Christian
community offered Colonel Reid their
assistance, but he declined to accept 1t.
The sea is rough and landing is diff
cult Indeed, 1t is almost impossible
to get through the harbor, which is
held by the mob. Marines, however,
are being landed in small detachments
and are Fastening to reinforce the
British camp. Outside the Gordon the
Christians are assembling in thou
sands. They threaten to rush into the

gambling places he received word from
the Mayor that the latter had rescinded
the order. Subsequently they had con-
of the citizens, Land told the Chief he did
not want the games closed. 1t is under
stood, however, that Immediately after
the fair closes. all forms of gambling
will be suppressed. Constant chickering's
among the gamblers is responsible for the
attitude of Mayor Land. Several we'll
known gamblers wanted to "hog" every
thing in sight and the smaller fry, anx-
ious to retaliate, induced the head of the
city government to issue the order to the
Chief of Police, instructing him to close
all the games. The Chief said. tonight
Just as soon as the Mayor was ready.

its FORMS he remarked, when asked about
