A DESPATCH from London to the eff
feet that the Midland Railroad of
England has placed an order with the
Baldwin Locomotive Works for ten
engines and one with the Schenec-
tady Company for ten, indicates that
the United States is making greater
progress in the markets Of the old
country than even the most enthu-
siastic Americans had reason to hope
or believe. There is probably moth
ing to which England has clung with
greater pertinacity than the English
locomotive. While Russia, Japan
and other countries were using Ameri-
can locomotives England was using
her own make of engines Having
ouce gained "A foothold, it is reason
able to suppose that these first orders
will be followed by others.

RefuSeS to Answer and Is Returned
to His Prison Cell.
San Francisco, Dec. 21.-When John
p. Dunning was called to the witness
stand in the Botkin murder trial yester-
day he obdurately refused to answer
the question put to him on Tuesday by
Attorney Knight, for the defense, who
wished to know the names of other
women than Mrs. Botkin with whom
Dunning had been intimate.
Dunning spent the night in prison,
and when asked to give information
said that when it was shown that any
woman other than the accused could
be in any way connected with the TAX
ing off Of Mrs. Dunning and her sister
he would give the names of other wo-
men. He was taken back to prison.
Mrs, Louise Seeley a mutual friend
of Mrs. BotNin and Dunning, told of
her acquaintance with them. She de-
MED ever having sent Mrs. Dunning
candy or to have written anonymously
to Mrs. Dunning.
Mr.. Pennington, father of the deceas-
ed, testified that he had received and
read three anonymous letters sent to
his daughter
Daniel II, Ames, the writing expert OF
New York, testified that he had exam
ined all the writing in the case and was
convinced that the anonymous letters,
the address on the candy box and the
note to Mrs Dunning's little girl were
all written by the same person, and
that Mrs. Botkin was the writer.
