ested In Extension of American Trade.
New York, March 3.-At the regular
monthly meeting of the chamber Of
commerce to-day a letter from Secre-
tary of State Sherman was presented
in reply to a memorial adopted by the
chamber on February in regard to the
effect upon American trade of the
changes taking place in the relations
of European powers with China In
this letter the secretary said: This
government having been the first to
bring about the opening of the ports
of China to foreign commerce and the
commercial relations Of the United
States with the Chinese empire having
been of large and growing Importance
during the forty years since it's treaties
with that empire went into effect, this
department necessarily feels a deep in
terest in conserving and extending the
volume of trade with that country

the chamber of commerce Of the state
of New York that this subject is being
given the most careful consideration"

to-day for the first time. The Varsity

these candidates that they would not

Boston, March 3.--The Presbyterian
board of home missions in New York
is trying to secure the services of John
Willis Baer of Boston, who for eight
years has been the general secretary of

authorized the following statement:
"Dr Thompson, the newly elected ex-

TRIAL OF SHERIFF MARTIN
THE LAST WITNESS FOR THE DE.
TENSE is HEARD.

The First Deputy to Admit That He Fired
Thought His Life Was In Danger
Sheriff Martin RecalIed-Testifies That
He Saw Three Strikers With Revolvers
in Their Hip Pockets.
Wilkesbarre, March 3.-The trial of
Sheriff Martin and his deputies for the
murder of Lattimer strikers was push
ed forward to-day with all possible
speed AS soon as all the witnesses
have been heard the defense, so Attor-
ney Lenehan says, will ask Judge
Woodford to give binding instructions
to the jury to bring in a verdict of not
guilty for all the defendants. "I fired
one shot, said Charles Haens this af-
ternoon. He was the first of the depu-
ties to admit that he had shot He
told how he had seen at West Hazleton
Deputy Platt level his gun at striker,
who was picking UP a stone. He also
rode in the car with Thomas Hall and
did not hear him making any threats
against the strikers. "llt Lattimer
saw the sheriff held up both hands to
stop the strikers. In one hand he held
a paper. I saw him grab for a man
and also saw two strikers with revol-
vers thrust them at the sheriff, while
another made a dig at him with a
knife. Then they rushed upon us and
when they got within ten or fifteen
feet of us, raised my gun and fired.
1 thought my life was in danger and
felt if they got at us they would kill
u.s." On cross examination the witness
said he did not fire at any particular
point of the mems bodies; that he did
not aim and that he did not desire to
kill.
Thomas Hall, who organized the
posse for Sheriff Martin, testified that
the sheriff had instructed the deputies
not to shoot unless their lives were in
danger and said that he would tell the
strikers to disperse and if they refus-
ed he would make an arrest and if
| they resisted the deputies should shoot.
II heard two shots before the volley,"
said the witness. 'They sounded like
revolver shots. When saw the sheriff
| surrounded | thought he was gone and
when the strikers charged on us I
| thought they would at least disarm us.
| I did not shoot" The cross examina-
| tion was very lengthy, but brought out
| nothing particularly new.
| Sheriff Martin was recalled and ask
! ed if he observed any weapons on the
strikers at West Hazleton. He answer
ed that he saw sthree men with re-
volvers in their hip pockets. On cross
| examination he said he did not con-
verse with any of them, nor did he ar
rest them. Asked if any of the men in
| line at Lattimer had not been sworn
| in as deputies, he answered, well,
there were not many who had not been
sworn i'm He could not tell how
many. T. M. Commit said that on the
| night of the shooting he met Sheriff
| Martin in the courthouse: the sheriff
had a bruise on his cheek and scratch
on his neck. This was the last wit
ness for the defense and when he left
| the stand Attorney Lanehan announc-
ed the closing. District Attorney Mar
tin said he had six or eight witnesses
| in rebuttal whom he would have in
court in the morning. Court then ad-
| journed.

known as the International bank, with
branches throughout this country, Cuba
and South America, and with offices in
London and Paris, will soon be doing
business on capital stock Of $25,0o0,-s

to certain western organizers Of the
project indicate that the senate and
house committees on foreign relations
will report favorably on a bill within a
fortnight, introduced by Senator For
aker, to carry into effect this plan If
the scheme is carried out the United
States and South American countries
will no longer be dependent on Europe

HARD RUBBER MANUFACTURERS.
Combination Has Been Formed-lncorpo-
ration to Follow Capital Stock.


ration to Follow-Capital Stock.
New York, March 3.--As result Of
the competition in the trade for the
last few years. combination has been
formed by the largest hard rubber
manufactures in this country. They
are the India Rubber company of New
York, the Butler Hard Rubber compa-
ny of Butler, N. j., and the Goodrich
company of Akron, Ohio. The concern
will be incorporated under the laws of
this state with capital stock of 81
100000. Fritz Achelis, president of the
India Rubber company, told reporter
that the main reason for the necessity
of the combination was not the cost
for the production, but the high cost of
distribution, the articles manufactured
being of low price. The cost of dis
tribution, he said had steadily increas-
ed, and had now reached a point where
the hard rubber manufacturers must
unite or go out of business. There
were few firms not in the union, ad-
ded Mr.. Achelis, but it represented the
greater amount of the output in this
country. The title of the new company
has not yet been decided upon.

Judge speer Takes Occasion to Refer to
ZOla Trial.

Savannah, Ca, March 3.--Judge EN-
ory Speer of the United States circuit
court in charging the grand jury at the
opening of the term to-day denounced
as disgraceful the recent court scenes
in France when Zola was berated and
insulted by mob in the presence of
the jury which was trying him. Judge
Speer said such a thing would be i'm
possible in the courts of the United
States. Continuing, the judge said ours
was great, strong, humane conser-
vative nation. He quoted Nelson's fa-
nous signal to his fleet when sailing
against, the fleets of France and Spain,
England expects every man to do his
duty" and said the United States ex-
pected every man to do his duty now.
This had no reference to possible war,
but was regarded as significant and
timely by the auditors.

Philadelphia, March 3-Lieutenant

Havana, via Key West, March ga
naval officer here to-day in reply to a
suggestion that 1t was a pity such an
important decision as the verdict of
the court of inquiry into the Maine ex-
plosion should rest solely upon the tes-
timony of divers who seemed of only
average intelligence, replied: "The
court of inquiry has not had to depend
upon divers testimony alone" Then
realizing that he had said more than
he had intended, the officer resumed
his natural reserve. 1t is believed that
the testimony OF Lieutenant Comman-
der Wainwright vas highly important
as bearing on the question of the ex-
istence of submarine mines. The gov
ernment has employed an expert pho
tographer now in Havana, who will
send to the naval department in Wash

of action, which seems doubtful, it has
not been made public. The Spanish
will report the results oftheir observa-

but when or where has not been made
known. At a meeting of volunteers
called yesterday to protest against the
rumored plan to disarm them, a letter
was read from General Parade, Gen
eral Blanco's second in command, say

dare propose such thing" This has
greatly gratified the volunteers.
Senator Proctor has seen much in a
short time and there is good authority
for saying he will make the results of
his observation known in strong
speech in the senate on his return to
Washington. At MatanZas Miss Bar
ton and Senator Proctor, under the
guidance of United States Consul Brice
saw the extremes of suffering they
had never conceived possible. Four
persons died in one ward while the
party was there. Senator Proctor was
reticent on the subject, but others of
the party declared that the whole east
of the island was under the control of
General Mamimo Gomez. Senator Proc

LOUD BILL DEFEATED.
1t Aim ed to Correct Abuse of Second Ola
Mail Matter Privilege.

1t Aimed to Correct Abuse of Second Glass
Mail Matter Privilege.
Washington, March 3.-The Loud bill
to correct alleged abuses of the second
class mail mater privilege, which last
year passed the house by a majority Of
144 to 1O4 was buried under an over
whelming majority by the house to-
day The vote was not taken directly
upon the bill, but upon a motion to lay
it on the table. BY vote of 1852 to 119
the motion was carried. Forty-seven
republicans Joined with the democrats
and populists in accomplishing this re-
suit and ten democrats with the major
ity of the republicans. The refusal of
Mr.. Loud to permit vote on an
amendment at the last minute was re-
sponsible in a measure for the result,
but the strength of the measure un-
doubtedly waned throughout the three
days debate.
