Mr.. Jackson had no answer ready for the
first time during the trial. The witness ex-
planned that the association did not try to
buy the bonds at the 10-cent sale, because he
had understood that the association would not
be allowed to purchase them, as the sale
to be confined to creditors. The witness ad-
mitted that by the deal which was finally
carried through the association lost the 1856
lots. Mr.. Jackson finished his examination
without having had much success. The wit
ness had done so well that he needed no
redirect, and Mr.. Flannery asked only a
few questions, chiefly repetition.

Peterson Makes Denial.

H. o. Peterson, the late receiver of the
Century Piano company, yesterday filed an
affidavit with the clerk OF courts in which
he takes occasion to deny some of the state
ments maze by Receiver Regain, his sue
cessor. Mr.. Peterson explain that in his
original report he meant to say "about Sc, 900
in bills and accounts receivable" in stead of
notes and bills receivable" He repeats
that the unpaid balance on claims, which
have heretofore been his basis of calculation,
is about $4,000, and he cannot understand
the discrepancy between that sum and the
S34, 416 stated by Mr.. Regain. He denies hav-

he drew out money to avoid garnishment

he drew out the 1000 complained of by Mr.

MILLION IN POWDER.
Government Proposes to Expend
This Sum mt Once

WASHINGTON, Jan. Pit is regarded as
settled that the naval appropriation bill, now
being framed by house subcommittee, will
contain three important items, namely,
S1,0OOOOO for smokeless powder. $500, 600 for
reserve ammunition, and $685. 900 for the es-
adjustment of government powder factory.
The matter of having ample supply of
powder, In order to meet the requirements Of
our naval vessels in any emergency, has re-
celved careful attention from members OF the
committee.
AS long as the old style Of black powder
was in use, the many private companies
making this article gave assurance that a
supply could be secured on short notice
Now, however, with the genreal adoption Of
smokeless powder, the opportunities for
speedy supply are said to be much reduced
For that reason it is proposed to allow
81 GOO 600 for the purchase Of this article and
at the same time provide a government
factory which will thereafter produce an
ample supply. The item Of s5OOOO0 for re-
serve ammunition will cover all classes OF
naval material large and small, to meet re-
quirements of vessels nearing completion and
OF such emergencies as many arise.

If you have any reaches that think they
are going to spend the winter with you and
you want to get rid of them try the remedy
suggested by an experienced housekeeper
tuaT destroyer. Simply scatter the peel or
trimmings about in the places where the
reaches are seen. The roach eats them and
thereby ends his existence. In case the roach
does not feel hungry enough the first night
and the cucumber is not sufficiently attrac-
tive. throw the trimmings into the stove the
next morning and set out fresh lot the next
night. The green coloring matter that kills
the reaches is the same thing that makes Gu

Effect Confirmed.

WASHINGTON, Jan. q. Assistant
Secretary Howell has received a tele-

appraisers at New York today decided
the cases which they have had under
consideration for some time, involving
the construction of section % of the

tains the opinion Of the attorney gen
eral, In which he held that the dis
eliminating duty of 10 per cent does not
attach to goods of foreign, manufacture
or production brought into the United
States in transit through contiguous
foreign country. This decision appar-
emily settles the questions involved, as
the department will not take an appeal.
