OILY TEALL's DIVORCE CASE.

Providence, December 24-There was
no opposition today in the Appellate
court to the Issuing commission for the
taking of testimony in New York on be-
half of Oliver Summer Teall in the Teall
divorce case, and the commission issues
as q matter of course. The taking of tes-
timony under it will begin on January 4,
hearing in this state only two days later,
it seems hardly probable that the final
hearing Can take place so soon is is
probable that the case in the Supreme
court here will be posi- poned at that time

IN FIRST DEGREE.
Verdict in the strangest of Murder
Gases.

of murder in the first degree, was the
verdict returned at O'Clock tonight In
the case of young John Henry Collins.
charged with the murder of his father,
James S. Collins. IA Irominent real estate
ard insurance agent of Topeka, who was
shot as he lay asleep in bed early one
morning in May last.
John Henry Collins, the convict, was a
student in the Kansas State University
and licensed lay reader of the leading
Protestant Episcopal church of Topeka.
The motive of the crime was found In
the youth s greed for money which would
come to him upon the death OF his father.
The elder Collins carried $26. 900 of life
insurance and it was provided that OF
this amount Sc, 500 should go to the son.
The young student was enamored Of
Miss Frances Babcock of Lawrence. whose
family is considered wealthy, and the trial
developed the fact that Collins had lived
beyond his allowance at Lawrence; that
he had contracted numerous bills at the
university town which he could not pay,
and that he had planned to join the Bah
cooks when they went to spend the sum-
lner at an Atlantic coast resort.
jesse Harper of Lawrence and johnson
Jordan of Topeka, two of the most mo-
torious negroes in Kansas. were impor-
tant witnesses against the youth. They
swore that, working through Jesse Har-
per- Collins had hired Jordan to assassi-
nate his father. The negroes, after secur-
ing money and vaIuables from the youth,
refused to carry out their contract and
then, according to their testimony, Col
Inns boasted that he would do the JOB
himself He came to Topeka from Law
renee. pleading sickness, retired at the
usual hour and according to the theory
of the state, arose before daylight and
shot his father as The latter lay alseep in
bed. One of the youths first acts after
the murder was to run to telegraph
Office and dispatch a message to Miss
Babcock, in which he said:
s'Father is dead; tell nothing"
The Investigations of the detectives de-
veloped information that Collins had told
Miss Babcock wild stories about his faith
er's life, being threatened by negroes.
They also produced numerous letters
which Collins had written to the negroes
whom he had hired to kill his father. In
fact the story of the negroes was corro-
borated in every detail, and they even
produced the watch and diamonds which
Collins had given them as pledge for
the money which he promised to pay
when he should realize upon his father s
life insurance. Miss Babcock was
among the witnesses for the state and told
of the wild stories which Collins had
related to her of the threatened assassina-
tion of his father.
Mrs. Collins, the youth's stepmother.
who lay beside her husband when he was
shot, has from first to last urged the in
nocence of her stepson, and in all her tes-
timony there was not one word which
would inpIicate the youth.

vices in trying ito maintain peace. More
recently Spain approached German!
and Austria with the view of obtaining
assurance that they, in the event of war,
would assist Spain in some way or the
other.
The Spanish Ambassador here, Senior
Mendoz de VigO. father-in-law of Senof
Polo Bernahe, the Spanish Minister TO
Washington. had conference on We'd
npsday last with the Minister for For
eign Affairs. Baron Won Buelow, when
the latter assured him that while Ger
many earnestly desired the maintenance
of peace. she certainly would not
pledge herself to anything but the strict
est neutrality. Spain is believed to have
received the same answer from Vienna
and Paris.
Senior Sandoval. the Spanish agent.
has thus failed in his efforts az pur-
chaser of torpedo boats. and other war
ships.
A remarkable change in party politics
is believed to be imminent. 1t assures
the adoption Of the most important
measures pending in the ReichstHg and
Diet. while it furnishes the leaders with
definite issues for the coming election.
The main issue will be the commercial
treaties now ending, which are largely
in favor of industrial interests and det-
rimenta to agricultural interests.

for whatever auxiliary cruisers may be
purchased by the Navy.
In addition TO the torpedo outfits the
men at the torpedo station are working
on Il death-dealing engine in the shape
of a b1oyant mine. This is an organ
shaped hollow affair. The mine opens
in the center and into one half is fitted
n square frame In this CRANE, secured
in place. are four cans filled with gun
cotton, the whole discharge being equal
to four torpedoes of sufficient power to
bow the largest battleship out of water.
The upper half of the mine is then
clamped and through the water-tight
rubber-packed hole in its top, run four
wires connected with the gun cotton.
Two of the wires connected with shore
and two contact wires project above the
mine a distance of two feet. The mine
is to be moored few feet below the
surface of the water by means of a
mushroom anchor.
As soon as the rush torpedo orders are
completed. which will require fen days
at least, the whole fOce at the station
VIII be put upon the buoyant mines.
The entrances to Narrangansett Bay,
both east and west have been plotted
for the mines by the United States En-
gineer office.

New Bedford, Mass. March 19.-Thc
ninth week of the struggle between CAP
ital and labor in this icty finds the SIT
uation unchanged practically except
that the operatives have conceded that
they might Ike willing to go back TO
work under a reduction of five per cent
instead of ten. A secret melting of the
officers Of the labor unions was held
last night and this morning and it was
agreed to meet the manufacturers OH
the question of the cut in wages, elimi-
mating the fines question.
The manufacturers held a meeting this
afternoon and issued statement defin.
