PLAINTIFFS REST.
Receiver Wilson Tells About the Loans
the First National Made-He Was
Closely Questioned.

Closely Questioned.
Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Helena, March 1.-The plaintiffs side
of the case of Stadler and kaufman VS..
the First National bank of Helena and
Butte has been submitted to the jury. Re-
ceiver Wilson of the First National bank
of this city, who was called to the stand
yesterday by the plaintiff, took the stand
upon cross-examination to-day. For five
hours he entertained the jury and specta-
tors with replies to questions from coun-
sci for the defense respecting the charac-
ter of the loans that the plaintiH coun-
sci had questioned him about yesterday
In some instances he gave the history OF
the notes since the bank went ito re-
ceiver's hands, and what. If any. effort
had been made to secure collection. Re
speeding some of the loans that were in
course of settlement, he was rather re-
served about telling the exact status of
affairs on the ground that to make SUCH
matters public might interfere with the
negotiations in hand. Counsel were not
particularly exacting in that particular.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Wilson's re-
direct examination A. j. Davis. president
of the First National bank of Butte, was
called to testify about the transfer OF
funds from the Helena to the Butte bank
on a certain date in 1896. He did not APP
pear to be very clear on the subject, ex-
planning that he would require the books
of the Butte bank to detail the transac-
ton definitely. Two other witnesses were
called after which the PLAINTIFFS counsel
announced that the plaintiff rested. One
witness testified for the defense before
adjournment. Taking of testimony may
be completed tomorrow.

Fool Critics.

~ ONE of the newspapers are find
~ ing fault with Minister Wood
- ford because, in telegraphing to
the president the expression of the
queen regents sympathy, after the
Maine disaster. he mentioned the presi-
dent as your excellency. The claim
set up by Minister Woodford's critics Is
that an accredited representative Of the
United States ought to know his gov
eminent better than this. For instance,
the Indianapolis News says: For an
American to apply title to any Ameri-
can is singular enough, but FOR our
minister representing the United States
abroad to address the president as
your excellency'' betrays lack of
familiarity with the American con-
stitution and customs that is not COM
plimentary."

of an ex-president of the United States,
this comment is rather odd IT is not

* lilly people whom the craving for
~ rumors about the Maine has made
- hysterical, nearly had fit yester-
day when Secretary Long, on leaving
cabinet meeting. remarked that. in his
opinion the theory Involving any Off
cial participation by the Spanish gov
eminent in the Maine disaster IN prac-

retary's remark was turned upside

no responsibility at all OF course, Mr.
Long implied nothing of the Sort but
the mangled report of his words came
back to his office to roost. compelling
him to put his passing remark into
writing and to make 1t clear that what
he meant and what he said was that,
in his opinion, it seems pretty clear that
the Maine was not destroyed by the
authority or with the knowledge of the
Spanish government. That opinion the
people of this country have held almost
unanimously from the first. The hold
ing of it or the clear ascertainment Of
its truth does not change matters. The
inquiry going on aims To find out first
of all, whether the catastrophe had its
cause within the hold of the ship II
the explosion came from without. the
question OF SPANS responsibility for
the crime against an American ship In
Spanish waters will be directly reached.
