Edna Osborn and her mother there was nothing In the proceedings that has not been published in these columns. The tntenoed victim IS an unusually bright girl for her years and bravely told the court Of her strange experience. She said she first thought in her Semi-con- scious condition when being carried from her room that there was fire, and that her sister was taking her to a place of safety. Then the pressure of the mans cold fingers upon her throat and the realization that she was being dragged down the steps aroused her, and sine had strength to break the t1end's grip and cry out for the protec- ton of her father. Her outcry eVl- dently alarmed her abductor, for he re- leased the girl and climbed over six foot fence. She only had glimpse of the hands and upper half of the face ot the man as he dropped over the opposite side of the fence and could not ldentlfy either of the prisoners as the man who carried her out of the house.
 Mrs. Osborn, the mother, stated that she was awakened about o'clock in the morning by noise in the direction of her daughters room and heard the cry of Mamma" Papa" followed by the sound of some one cOllidlng With the kitchen table and of something be- Ing dragged over the kitchen floor She aroused MT. Osborn and before he could reach the scene she again heard her daughters appeal for help. She stated that the girls throat was bruised and scratched from the choking she had received. and that one of her limbs be- low the knee was injured from being dragged down the steps,
 The evidence of Judson L. Craig, clerk in the office of the Western Beet Sugar Company, with reference to the issuance of the tell-tale weight tag was the backbone of the prosecutions case, without which Carnes could not have been held
 The tag was originally given to Ro- mero who handed it over to Carnes. The latter returned it to the office of the company for correction and was the last man known to possess it. His ex- planation that he had thrown it away did not account for it being found in the seat of the stolen buggy and this in connection with the other evidence holds him for trial
 Carnes comes from fine family in Ventura. His father Is an educated and polished gentleman, 80 years of age. and was the first Postmaster of Santa Barbara The prisoner eight years ago was Deputy Recorder of Ventura County and is said to have got into trouble that resulted in his permanent departure from that section This even ing Sheriff Besse showed Carnes a dis patch from his old father asking about the result of the trial. and after read Ing It the prisoner cried like a child. Despite the fact that the circumstan- tial eVldence was ample to hold Carnes there Is some doubt as to whether the right man has been renanded There Is a certain hard element here that is not being overlooked.

PLANS FOR HELPING
 POOR L0" TO REFORM
Legislation Recommended at the Meeting of the American Mis-
 sionarY Association.

CONCORD, N. H., Oct. 26-The fifty second annual meeting of the American Missionary Association was continued to- day. The first address was delivered by Rev. W. B. Thorpe of Binghamton, N. Y. on "Chinese Missions"
 Rev. w. H. Pond, D. D., of San Fran cisco delivered a missionary address on Chinese missions.
 The report on Indian missions was pre- sented by Rev. J. c. Merrill of Portland, Me. The committee presented resolutions which were adopted. declaring that i've believe no solution of the Indian question can be reached until the present tribal system be unrecognized, Government res- ervations abolished and the present ap- propriations for the material support of the Indian discontinued.
 Recognizing that our Government bears a friendly attitude toward the re- forms. we would recommend that a com mittee be appointed to visit the President of the United States. Secretary of the Interior and others who have part in the administration to urge immediate action that the policy now theoretically held by the Government shall be put into execu- tion."

an abandonment of the work of the commission on the ground that the members themselves are in physical danger. It is confidently believed that, with the change of Cabinet in France, the present disorder will sub- side and normal conditions will be re- stored. It is always possible that the Spanish Commissioners, in despair over their failure to force the Cuban debt upon the United States in any shape, may break off the sessions, but this Is not regarded as probable. It is ex- pected that the Spanish programme is to trump up as many points of differ ence as possible, relying upon the sym pathy to be excited among European nations by their dispute of each point.
 This being the Spanish policy, it Is expected that when the commission takes up the subjects of Porto Rico and the coaling station in the Ladrone Isl- ands, there will be many hair-splitting objections interposed by the Spanish to propositions from the Americans. just as many references or attempts at ref erence to Madrid and just as loud pro- tests over each little point by the Span iards at the uncompromising attitude of the Americans as there have been in the case of Cuba.

CAMP WIKoFF. Aug. 29.-The re-
gulsrs in camp had q whole ship load
supplies sent them yesterday by the of
New York Merchants association.
They include fresh food and dainties,
about the first the regulars have had.
Genl Wheeler is getting supplies in
spite of his tiff with Commissary Cen
eral Esgan.
Gen. Wheeler had ordered extra
supplies for 1000 soldiers who are un-
officially sick, that is, sick in quarters
instead of being in hospitals. Esgan
countermanded the order, and Wheel
er's supplies rotted on the railroad sid
ing. Eagan said the sick should be
cared for under order 116. which al
lowed double rations.
Finally Gen. Wheeler explained that
the sick in quarters we're not included
in this order. He got his susplies.
This means q tremendous suppending
of red tape for the relief of the SOL
diers

fever HORRORS
Related By Seventh Regulars.

MONTAUK POINT, Aug. 29.-The
Yucatan, which arrived Saturday with
six companies of the Seventh infantry
Fort Logan, brings another tale of
transport horror. Seven men died on
the way and three died while the boat
lay off the pier here Friday night The
soldiers are all in shocking condi-
tion, the sick having had only regular
army rations.
But the regiments suffering at San
tiago was even worse, according to the
stories OF some men. After the cspi-
tulation. the sick were sent to the hos
pital six miles away. The ''hospitsl'
was valley in the hills, with the bare
ground for beds for the sick. There
were NO nurses and no medicine. The
men say they owe their lives to DR..
Jones of the regiment who handled q
hundred cases of typhoid in one day.

people.
Three hundred and ten men who

too weak to stand the fatigue of the
tramp to the srmory. There were
many affecting incidents at the battery
where the men landed, and along the
