(Continued from First Page.)

of the examination that the oil had for merly been kept in can without wooden cover, but about two months ago was changed for can covered with a wooden frame similar to one on the table in front of her. Just as Miss Bolan left the court room after being excused from the witness stand she tainted and was caught and saved from falling by Night Clerk McHugh of the Haines house. who was with her. She was revived by Dr. Bacon, who was just about to enter the court room.
 pr. Bacon having finished testifying in the civil side of the superior court and returned to the criminal court room, Cook was now recalled to the stand In the course of the examina ton previous to Cooks being excused, he said that on his second trip to New Haven from Springfield he did not in- tend to burn the Tontine. He said that he went to the hotel because he was supposed to, but that he did not intend to set fire, simply went to find out and tell Captain Hodgdon how the hotel looked.
 MT. Barbour-ssrhe captain hadn't paid you any money?"
 s.No."
 You didn't intend to set the fire?"
 "No.'
 .'Then why did you want the captain to know that you had been here?"
 .sThat I can't explain
 Cook then said that the second time he was at the Tontine on Saturday he went to bed just before 12 o'clock and asked the watchman to call him in time for the 1 o'clock train. Later he said he guessed that it was earlier when he went to bed He said that the watch man called him as he had requested, but he did not take the train, but went back to bed and stayed there until someone broke in the door about day light, saying there was a fire in the room. The upper panel of the door was broken in, but he could not see the person who did it or who told him that there was fire in the room.
 MT. Barbour-"Did you see any fire in the room?"
 "No, but there was smoke. It came from fire in the attic, I guess
 .'What came down from fire In the attic?"
 "Yes. I guess it did. There was a fire somewhere.
 'sWhat time did you leave New Ha- ven?"
 sJust before daylight I bought a ticket and took smoker"
 Mir Barbour-"Now, sir, there was no train left New Haven on Sunday during October from ten minutes past midnight until eight minutes to six in the evening, and yet you were just as sure about everything else you have told me as you were that you bought ticket and left New Haven just before daylight on Sunday. What is your inn presson about this?''
 T haven't any. I know it was before daylight"
 MT. Barbour-''You didn't claim your s10O when the hotel caught fire the first time. did you?''
 '.No sir. I told him that I didn't do it."
 "Thought it was funny did you, that a fire should break out while you were there"
 xsYes"

The elaborate precautions which are
taken to protect European sovereigns
in travelling contrast curiously with
the simplicity with which the presi-
dent of the United States moves
about. The kaiser of Germany has
patrols along all the roads he uses,
both highways and railroads. He is
always preceded ON ordinary roads by
guards who go ahead of him and beat
the bushes aud look out for any anar-
chist who may lie in wait for him.
When the ezar travels along any
railway line the road is patrolled for
days before by armed guards. They
are stationed regularly throughout the
entire distance at intervals Of 200
yards. Up to the day the train is
scheduled to pass they are allowed 10
take it easy, carrying their rifles
meanwhile slung over their shoulders.
Six hours before the passage of the
imperial train they shoulder their
rifles and march briskly up and down
the track.
An hour before the imperial train
passes the guards are required TO
stand with their backs toward the
train and to allow no one to pass with
in less than one hundred yards of the
track uutil ten minutes after tho royal
train has passed. Should any one at
tempt TO approach, the guarts are

STILL DEBATING
Annexation Question Not Yet VOt-
ed On By Senate.
WHITE AND PERKINS DIFFER
President Dole Returning Situation
In the EaSt-China Mobiliz-
ing Forces.

The New York Herald's Washington
correspondent has written his paper
that Speaker Reed has changed his
position on the annexation question
and is now in favor of the measure.
For this reason it is said that the ad-
vocates of annexation, who were much
concerned over his opposition to the
treaty, are now correspondingly happy
over the change of views which the
speaker has recently experienced, and
especially his attitude in favor of
prompt action.
The Herald's Washington CORES
pondent also says, under date of
February 6, that Speaker Reed con-
siders it impossible to get the sixty
votes in the Senate necessary to ratify
the pending Hawaiian treaty. Having
made up his mind that the treaty can
not be ratified, he is anxious that a
vote demonstrating this may be speed
lily taken, and that both houses begin
consideration at once of the Morgan
bill.
He has promised to push the bill
through the House in less than week
if the friends of the treaty will con-
sent to the abandonment of that instru-
ment. With the experience of the last
few months showing how completely
the speaker controls the affairs of the
House, no one doubts for moment
that he will be able to fulfill his prom
ise, and Hawaiian annexation, there
fore, it is thought, is sure to be brought
about during the present session of
Congress. If the treaty is abandoned
the bill, it is hoped, will be passed by
the Senate by majority fully as large
in proportion as the majority in the
House.

The session of the Senate was brief.
After prayer by Senator Kauhane, the

held by Rev. H. W. Peck, was also
vacant.

Captain Winslow G. Hall of san Fran
cisco Dead.
San Francisco papers of February 7th
contain the news of the death, on the
day previous, of Captain Winslow G..
Hall of that city. Captain Hall was
born in Cohasset, Mass, in 1888 and
came to San Francisco by vessel when
he was quite a young man. With his
brother, Henry X. Hall he began build
ing vessels on the Coast early in the
sixties. Since that time the firm Of
Hall Brothers has constructed fully 100
wooden ships, ranging in value from
$4,000 to 100000 each, most of which
were designed for the Hawaiian trade.
Captain Hall was unmarried. He
leaves two brothers, Henry X. Hall of
Port Blakely and Abram Hall of San
Francisco, and two sisters in Mass
achusetts. One of his brothers died
two weeks ago in Maine.

SENATOR WHITES ARG UMENTS.
He Dwells Upon the Opposition of
California LaborerS.

He Dwells Upon the Opposition of
California Laborers.
On the last day on which the Senate
met, previous to the sailing of the
Maui, Senator White of California COM
pleted his three days argument against
annexation. He dwelt at length upon
the fact that many California laboring
interests are opposed to annexation.
Senator Perkins will follow Senator
White and against his arguments will
set the declarations of laboring organ
izations of San Francisco, Sacramento
and other cities.
Chronicle dispatches state that in his
arguments Senator White also made a
great point that the Islands would have
to be fortified to a vast extent, which
will be shown to be fallacious reason
ing, as the single port of Honolulu
needs to be protected
The appearance of Senator Perkins
as the champion of annexation will do
much to offset the arguments of White,
who has been accepted as the repre-
sentative of California opinion in the
matter of Hawaiian annexation.
AS matters stand there is still lack
ing absolute knowledge Of where the
two votes needed to insure the passage
Of the treaty will be gained, though
there is no lack of confidence in the ul-
innate success of annexation. Lest the
debate may be prolonged indefinitely
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, has
written, in the form of an amendment
to the diplomatic and consular bill, the
treaty's features, which he will offer il
it is found necessary.

CHINA MAKING PREPARATIONS.
Mobilizing Troops to Allay Fears of
Her Subjects.

Mobilizing Troops to Allay Fears of
Her Subjects.
TACOMA, (Wash.), February 6.-By
Japanese papers dated January 18th,
received today, it is learned that China
is mobilizing her troops and preparing
to at least go through the form of pro-
tecting her capital, while diplomatic
matters are progressing.
Chinese commanders in maritime
provinces have been ordered to mo-
bilize their forces as soon as possible.
Generals Mich and Yuen are joining
their troops at TienTsin, where at
least 100000 soldiers will be assembled.
The Tartar general of Feng Tien has
been ordered to assemble his troops in
Liao peninsula.
1t is not supposed that China has
any intention of fighting, but the fears
of her own people are largely allayed
by this show of force.
In order to replenish China's ex-
hausted treasury, the Emperor has pc
titioned to reduce all official salaries by
one-third next year.
