a CHEERFUL OUTLOOK,

Harper's Weekly in an article on
"The Consent OF the Governed"
says: "Now in governing distaut
territory in which the consent Of
the governed is not required, the
member NJ the Lower House is freed
from the one influence that steadies
him. The Representatives will be as
bad as the Senators. Since the
Constitution puts the whole matter
ic charge OF Congress, have we the
least guarantee that our government
OF colonies will be honest or intelli
gent? Our solution Of our Indian
problem by extermipation, our solu
ion OF our negro problem by lynch.
ing, our solution OF our Alaskan
problem by apathy-these achieve
ments scarcely indicate that we are
prepared to shine in an Imperial
capacity"
Many Of the hopes of our ardent
annexstionists will prove to have
been founded on the "baseless fabric
Of a dream" Instead of seeing

Imperialism in China is evidently
having a bad quarter OF an hour OF it.
What with the Emperor and Dow
ager Empress plotting to take each
others lives and with insurrection
rife, it may be expected that some-
thing will drop before the Cars
peace convention assemblies. The
atmosphere in France seems tainted
also with revolution or, it's sister, a

outlook is, all over the world, that
the Armageddon must precede the

SPENT SIX MONTHS
 IN A MEXICAN JAIL
American Released Upon the De mand of Washington
 Authorities

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. 20.-Morton Hudson of this city has just arrived from Mexico, where he has been in prison for over six months. Last February Hudson and a friend named Powell went on prospecting tour near Toluca, Mexico They were returning from the town of Veregueria, where they had been to pur- chase supplies for their camp, when they were set upon by Mexican highwaymen- One of the Mexicans clapped pistol to Powell's head, but the American grasped his assaiIant and the two fell from their horses. The second Mexican, who was armed with a sword, was in the act or plllnging it into Powell's back, when Hud- son brought him to the ground with a well directed shot.
 The first Mexican was rapidly overpow- ering Powell when the latter called Tor heln Hudson went to his assistance, when the highwayman aimed his pistol at the advancing man. Hudson was too quick, however, and shot the man through his breast.
 The two Americans then concealed themselves in the mountains until they finally decided to surrender to the Mexi- can authorities. Hudson was thrown into jail at Tenancingo. but finally got a let ter to his brother in this city, and the authorities in Washington caused his trial and release. Ex-Secretary of the Navy Richard W. Thompson, w. R. Mckeel, Senator Fairbanks and Congressman F ar ris were instrumental In securing proper treatment for Hudson.
 Hudson is thin and pale from his con fnement, but is otherwise in good health.

PARIS, Nov. 20.-Unfortunate Drey- fus seems to be nearing the end of his period of probation. It now appears fairly certain that he will be brought back to France within a very short time. Already the severity of the regime which he has been subjected to is relaxed In case he does return here in all probability he will be con- fined in a civil conciergerie prison and not in the military one of Cheriche Midi. This is really because after his degradation Dreyfus comes under the jurisdiction of the civil authorities. All the same there are many who declare this measure is being taken to insure his safety.
 A subject that is much discussed to- day is Count EsterhaZy's memoirs. So far nobody attaches much importance to them. AS a matter of fact the only point brought out at present Is Ester hazy's amazing lack of conscience. He claims he was the instrument of the general staff If this statement is true it only shows what questionable tools were necessary to prove DreyluS | guilty.
 These memoirs are written in a style 1 that we have become only too familiar with during the polemic over the Drey- fus affair as conducted in some of the gutter papers here, and leave a very saddening impression.
 The Liberti says that, after having extracted money from the credulity of the general staff, Esterhazy is trying to exploit the credulity of the public.

once. He has not been seen since It is thought he has full Knowledge of the dreadful crime and will prove 8 strong witness for the prosecution if he can be found
 The reticence of the deputy coroner and of Dr. F. G. Whitworth, the at tending physician, concerning the con- dition and appearance of the unfortu- nate girls body, as reported in yester- days Call, is now fully explained. The deputy coroner, satisfied that no mere explanation of voluntary suicide could fully account for all the circumstances of the case, ordered thorough exami- nation of the remains to be made and conferred at once with Chief Coroner Baldwin. The latter called for pre- liminary inquest on Saturday night, at which District Attorney Charles F. Shook was present.
 Dr. Whitworth found the body in a frightful condition. Black bruises, some of them several inches square, marred the skin. Back of the two shoulders evidences pointed to blows of terrible severity. Severe gashes appeared on each cheek. The neck was completely ringed with contusions, as if from a
 
 marks appearing regularly in streaks.
 An autopsy was ordered immediately by the District Attorney. Evidence of foul play pointed mutely from the bruises and gashes, which it was clear could neither have been self-inficted nor the result of mere hanging. Two Sheriff's deputies had been detailed meanwhile to guard the house, and their vigilance remained unabated un- til late in the afternoon.
 The autopsy, conducted by pr. H. Buteau of Oakland, was witnessed by five local physicians, Drs. Eastman, Shannon, Renell Hoagland and Whit worth. It consumed roughly about three hours-from 3 o'clock till 6. At the conclusion Dr. Buteau made the following statement in his report to the District Attorney:
 "I have found the head very much battered, with external markings on the skin, indicating most brutal treat ment All evidences of hanging or death by strangulation were only superficial, being made probably aft CT death had really occurred. The whole skull cap was badly bruised, the injuries on the head being suffi- cient to have brought about death. They were most likely caused by some hard object.
 ''The marks around the neck were certainly not made by the apron which was left hanging to the bed- post. The material of the latter was quite soft, and had it caused strangu- lation, would have left different mark than the one which I found encircling the neck. The marks could

If Al White. In this interview Mrs' Brandes admitted to MT. White that she struck the child during their alter cation last Wednesday evening.
 The wife prayed aloud for strength to withstand the ordeal through Whlch she was to pass. Her grief did not ap- pear genuine, owing to the melodra- matic manner in which she gave voice to 1t.
 The rooms bear mute testimony to her ability as a housewife. The walls are covered with her handiwork and with trophies of the field. There are rifles and knives, police clubs, hand cuffs and other articles. Out of keeping with the alleged brutality shown the children of the household is a framed certificate showing that Brandes is a member in good standing of the So- ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children.
 The parting between husband and wife was a simple one, and Brandes was at once taken on board a Telegraph avenue car. He smoked a cigar and talked necessarily of the enemies who were plotting his ruin. He told of his daughter being simpIe-minded, and also said his wife was at times the same. AS the car passed under an electric street light he said it was always necessary to watch his daughter at the full moon. He mistook the electric light for the moon, and noting his mistake relapsed into silence for a time. He asked for whisky, but was not given any. He was placed on the small book" at the jail. He will not be charged until the verdict of the Coro- ner's jury is submitted.
 Brandes is man of imperious man ner. When he called his wife he al- ways followed her name immediately with a sharp, hissing whistle, such as boys are wont to make through their teeth. This was shown toward his lit tie son also, and gives the key to his domineering character. He is thick set, dark-complexioned man, with a sharp pointed black mustache. He is 3S years of age, an American by birth, but with a trace of some foreign Ian guage in his speech.
 An important witness in the case has disappeared. This is a man who was used by Brandes as an assistant. He occupied a room in the basement ad- joining that of the murdered girl. On the morning of the tragedy he left the house about 8 o'clock and left town at
