TELLS OF THE POTASH.
Luetgert Continues His Testimony In His
Own Behalf

Chicago, Jan. 24.-With the jury that
had his life in its hands waiting impa-
tiently for him TO explain away, II pos
sible, the testimony given against him.
Adolph L. Luetgert continued his story
regarding his actions previous to and
on May /. The important feature of
the second day OF the sausagemaker's
recital was his explanation of the rea-
son for the presence of the potash In
the factory. He said 1t had been in his
place of business for nearly two months
before the day of his wife's disappear
ance; that it had not been concealed.
and that he was to make soft soap out
of 1t. The prisoner also told of his
sleeping in the factory, which he ex-
planned was necessary because there
were many things to which to attend at
night. A question was asked by Attor-
ney Harmon regarding Mrs. Feldt. but
this subject was passed over quickly,
Luetgert simply saying that Christine
sometimes visited his house.
The most sensational feature of Lieut.
gert's story was when his attorney
asked him to tel~Sf the conversation
that occurred betwSsn him and his wife
at the supper table the evening of May
i. Luetgert hesltated before answer
ing and finally said he would not re-
peat that conversation unless COM
PEELED. Harmon insisted, and Luetgert
after many pauses, told how his wife
had threatened to leave If the mortgage
on the factory was foreclosed. She said
she could not face ruin and would not
be there when the collapse occurred.
She said she did not wish TO live to see
such an ending to their thirty years OF
hard work. Tears came TO the eyes Of
the defendant during this recital and
Jumps in his throat stopped his words.
The last time he saw his wife. he
said, was about 10:30 o'clock on the
night of May 1. He said he left her in
the kitchen, and taking his lantern.
went back to the factory. The state
claims he induced Mrs. Luetgert to go
to the factory with him.

Motive for interference.
Madrid, Jan. 24.-The feeling in Of
fetal circles after the dispatches re-
ceived by Senior Sagasta from Cuba Is
that the United States no longer has
motive for direct or indirect interfer-

sistence in the lingo" attitude by the
American congress would be contrary
to the dictates of reason and justice
and should the Washington govern

FLOWERS FOR ALLEN.
Testimonial from Lady Clerks of
the Departments.
DAYS PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.

Bill Providing for the Publication of the
Pension Roll introduced by Senator Can

with Speaker Reed I'm the House se-views
OF Postmasters as tn Cutting Down Ex-
penses-Griggs for Attorney General.
Washington. Jan. 24.-On the desk of
Allen at the opening of the session of
the senate was a stand of beautiful
American beauty and bride roses. IL
was "A testimonial from ladies Of the
departments for your noble and brave
defense OF woman's honor" Allen
championed the cause Of Mrs. Roberts
who was summarily dismissed from the
pension office.
Cannon introduced a bill providing
for the publication of the pension roll
Gallinger offered an amendment to the
pension appropriation bill, providing
that hereafter no pension shall be paid
on power Of an attorney from pension
ers residing in foreign countries.
The resolution of Teller providing that
the bonds of the United States may be
paid in silver dollars was then laid be-
fore the senate and, in accordance with
notice given the day before, Stewart adj
dressed the senate. He said that the
disregard OF the resolution, which is al
ready a law OF the United States. had
brought many calamities upon the land,
and the results of such disregard had
been disastrous and lamentable. He
attributed the panic of 1898 directly to
the disregard of the law.
Resolution by Nelson.
At the conclusion of Stewards speech
Nelson offered the following amend
ment to the Teller resolution:
And that 1t is the duty of the gov
ernment OF the United States, under
existing laws. TO maintain the parity
in value of its gold and silver money.
so that the dollar of the one metal shall
for all monetary purposes always be
equal in value to the dollar of the other
metal"
The senate passed a number of bills
to which there were no objections, in
Guiding one providing that widows
whose marriage to discharged soldiers
takes place after the passage of the act
shall not be entitled to pension, and an
other to grant $4,000 acres Of public
land in Alabama to the negro schools
at Tuskegee, Ala.

The Army somewhat Notified.

The army, while not appeased. has
been Modified by the press laws and
the other means taken by the govern
ment to protect 1t from criticism. The
certainty that the ringleaders in the riot
will not be punished keeps it In good
humor. But. while not disposed to
crowd the government, the army knows
it's power. Captain-G Blanco
cannot continue the policy Of conciliat-
ing the insurgents If he is to have the
support of his own troops. They are
quietly demanding return to Wey-
lers methods.
Consul-General Lee is receiving full
reports from all parts Of the island
about the attitude of the Spanish prop
erty-owners. The disturbances in Ha-
vana have increased their lack OF con-
fidence in their own government, while
their fears of what would happen under
insurgent success are not lessened.

the United states.
New York, Jan. 24.-Advices from
Havana are to the effect that Captain
General Blanco must accede to the
wishes OF the rebellious Spanish army
or return to Spain. The mutinous Of
ficers are having everything their own
way. None OF the ringleaders Of the
recent attack on the newspaper offices
has been punished. 1t seems to be the
best opinion in Havana that Blanco
will yield to the demands Of the army,
but he has no authority to abandon the
plan for autonomy.
Reports that Marshal Campos may be
sent back to Cuba are premature. He
might be given a trial once more. ii is
thought, should autonomy prove fail
ure. He ended the former war by buy
ing up insurgent leaders. and that. per-
haps, will be SPANS next attempt.
Little Anti-American Sentiment
There is said to be little anti-Ameri-
can sentiment in Havana, as Blancos
mild military policy fully occupies the
Spanish mind there. A significant feat
ure of the situation is that the editor
of El Recontrado, who was attacked,
is fugitive from a warrant issued at
the demand of the Spanish brawlers
A dispatch from Havana to a local
paper says that there seems to be no
anlmosity to General Blanco as an in
dividual, though decided objections to
Secretary General Cognosto on person
al grounds are manifest. OF course, the
Madrid government will pay no heed to
the attacks on Rlanco because to re =
call him would be to revise the policy
with which he Is charged, but the
knowledge Of the feeling among Span
| ish classes must inevitably make the
| Sagasta ministry uncomfortable. The
government has partly recovered its
composure since last Sunday passed

volunteers. The next crisis seems like

The readers of this paper will be pleas
ed to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known to the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requirs a constitutional treat
ment. Hall Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its wook. The
proprietors have so much faith i'm its
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case it fails to
cure. Send for testimonials.

NATIONAL BANKS EXEMPT.
The License Collector Gets an Opin- ion From the City and County
 Attorney

City and County Attorney Creswell has advised License Collector Bonnet that the general license order of the Board of Supervisors does not apply to national banks, and that he cannot legally en- force the payment of licenses by such in- stitutions. The main arguments ad- vanced by MT. Creswell are as follows:
 National banks are instruments en- ployed by the Government of the United States in the execution of its powers, and Congress has power not only to provide for the incorporation of them but to limit the power of the State in the taxa ton of them. Until the act of Congress of June 8, 1864, the power of taxation of national banks was denied to the States. The forty-first section of this act sub jects the shares of national banks in the hands of shareholders to taxation by the States under certain limitations set forth therein. A taxation in any other way is The license tax pro- vided for by order No. 15S9 is not a tax on the shares of a national bank in the hands of shareholders, but is a tax on the occupation or the privilege of conducting the business of national bank. The ex- action of a license tax as a condition of doing any particular business Is a tax on the occupation and a tax on the occupa- ton of doing a business is surely a tax on the business A municipality derives its power of taxation from the State, and if the State cannot impose a license tax on national banks, a municipality can not. The right of a national bank to con- duct its business is not dependent on a license granted either by the State or any thereof.
