LIPSc0MB CASE.
Another Chapter in the Sensational Mississippi Insurance Murders.

Meridian Miss March 9-The case of the state vs. Dr. W. II. Lipscomb, charg- ed with poisoning Charles Stewart for the insurance on his life. was called in Kem- per county court today. The defense asked continuance on the ground of defendant not being physically able to endure trial Dr. Lipscomb swore that he was afraid it would kill him to go to trial.
 Dr. s. D. Kelleis, a witness for the de- fense, in former trial, testified as to Lip scomb's i'll health. A dramatic scene then occurred, Lipscomb apparently became very nervous and wanted some place to lay down. A bed was taken into the grand jury room and the prisoner escorted thith- CT by friends and .Dr. Relies. The court then adjourned until tomorrow, to allow an investigation to be made. Drs. M. M War ren of Macon; w. R. Mckinley, of Binns- ville, and w. E. Pearson, of Scobia, will examine the prisoner and their report will probably settle the motion for continuance. Failing that. the defense will ask for a change: of venue.
 There is not the same interest manifested in the case as before, but small crowd be- ing present Many of the defense's witt nesses are absent

MONITOR AND MERRlMAC.
The Thirty Sixth Anniversary of the Naval En-
 gagement Celebrated.

Philadelphia, March 9.-The Seth ann- versary of the naval battle of the Mon- tor and Merrimac was celebrated tonight by banquet given by the Pennsylvania commandery of the Naval Order of the United States. The guests included promi- nent citizens and distinguished navy and army officers.
 Congressman c. A. Boutelle, of Maine, chairman of the naval committee respond ed to the toast, "The Navy" MT. Boutelle made no direct reference to the Maine disaster, but referred to "The momentary distraction of wildness which Is being in- fiicted upon us by the press.' Referring to the progress in naval architecture, he said:
 'sThere is no domain in which the mag nificent power and latent resources of this country have been so wonderfully exhibited as in the rehabilitation of the American navy within the past twelve years. We have built ships which all find are the swiftest and most invulnerable in the world"
 Continuing, Congressman Boutelle sadd: "Standing as we do tonight on a. solid basis of peace with all the world, yet within the shadow of possible hostilities, am glad to congratulate you on the marvellous evo!u- tion of our navy from helplessness to a position of great responsibility among the navies of the world. The splendid adapt ability of the American people has never been better exemplified."

am abundant supply of certain kinds of sunokeiess powder abroad at short notice
 In Daily Correspondence
 The officials of the department are in daily correspondence by mail and tele- graph with agents of ammunition houses and besides are now fully acquainted with the plans of domestic powder makers for enlarging their plants to meet an emer- gency. The representatives of the armor- making firms in consultation with the department steadily, generally relative to the supply of gun forgingS and such ma terial for use in the gun shops here and at Watervliet, but the question of armor is receiving little attention as the armor- makers report that they cannot undertake by any known agency to turn out such armor as would be required for a modern battelship in less than seven months for the reason that tempering and face hard ening cannot be hastened without destroy ing the value of the armor. Thus, it has been demonstrated to the navy depart ment that it will not be possible to make the armor for the superb battleships, three in number, now building at Newport News, and at Cramps and at the Union Iron Works in San Francisco, in time to ren- der these ships far better it is claimed. than any offered from abroad for sa'e' available for any emergency that may arise this year.
 The statement was made at the navy de- partment today that the report of the Maine court of inquiry probably would come to the department some time next week.
 It did not appear, however, that this statement was founded upon any direct report from the court, but was rather an estimate based upon the progress so Tar made as revealed by the change of meth ods on the part of the court It is not ex- pected that Lieutenant Commander Mark, the judge advocate of the court, Will leave the court when it has completed its labors. as it is the custom for the judge advocate to assist in the preparations of the final result of the court.

MOB IN BOM BAY.
Christians Attacked-City Now in Hands of ] Military

Bombay, March 9.-Serious plague riots have occurred in the native quarter. Sev- eral persons nave been killed or wounded. Troops and blue jackets have been dis patched to the scene of the disturbance.
 The trouble arose through a plague party inquring into the cause of the sickness of Mohammedan woman. An enormous crowd gather and stone -mobbed the party, which retiret1 for an escort of armed police and then returned and re-decnanded the surrender of the patient. which was refused. A parsee magistrate who exhorted the populace not to resist the police was him self struck, whereupon he ordered the po- lice to charge the crowd. They did so and four Mohammedans were killed and several wounded.
 The disturbance spread with alarming -rapidity until the whole quarter around the Bhendi Bazaar presented spectacle similar to that of the riots of 1893. The Mollammedans, who were joined by the Hindoos, assaulted every European or Eurasian they met, and hysterical mob attacked the European dwellings in the suburb of Byculla. The resN5en.ls barri- caded themselves in their houses and fired blank cartridges from their windows, which drove the rioters off.

New York, March 9.-A dispatch to the World from London says:
 Public interest in England is largely centered on the American-Spanish crisis, notwithstanding that Anglo-Russian af- fairs in the far east have again reached an acute stage. The feeling reflected in the lobby of the house of commons is grow ing markedly sympathetic and the Brit ish government will be urged from both sides of the house, conservative and lib- eral, to acknowledge the independence of the Cubans immediately the United States does so as a first step towards interven- tion in Cuba.
