could place 100000 per cent thirty
year Russian railway bonds, guaran-
teed by the Russian government. The
matter was considered, and decided in
the negative
Isaac N. Seligman said today: Rus
sian government 4 per cent bonds are
selling in this market at between 102
and 104 The, bonds of the Russian gov
ernment are generally taken in this
country in exchange for concessions by
that government. For instance, the life
insurance companies of this city prob
ably own $5,000.000 to $4,000 900. which
they have purchased from the Russian
government and hold in pursuance to
a contract with the Russian govern
ment permitting them to transact a life
insurance business in Russia.
we made a careful inquiry among
bankers in this city, and, although
we found some bankers prepared to
take an interest in the proposed loan.
at the same time we did not fnd suf-
ficient interest taken by others, so we
dropped the business.
I'VE don't think the present moment
is opDortune for selling Russian bonds
in this country. If the favorable bal
ance of trade continues, however, it is
not improbable that within. year or
two these bonds can be placed advan-
tageously in our market"
Henry Clews, the banker. said: ''I
think that Mr.. Eckels, who gave out
the reoort, has heard of negotiations
begun by foreign government. but
not an European government 1 am
bound in confidence not to name the
government, but may say that a little
more than a month ago l was asked to
make an offer as to the terms on which
l would negotiate a loan of from S10,-

and have not yet received a reply. New
York is now the money market of the

spiracy to persecute these defendants

Spifacy 10 .perSecute these de1endantS
is false.
THE district attorney declares that
these proceedings were instituted be-
fore Mr.. Quay made the personal an
nouncement of his candidacy to sue
ceed himself in the United States SEN
ate. Why a legal proceeding should
be arrested upon the ground of q de-
fendant's candidacy for office the dis
trict attorney is at a loss to understand
and all allegations to this effect, he
says, are Irrelevant and immaterial.
The district attorney AYERS that in
seeking trial for these cases, he is do
ing simply his duty under his oath of
Office and that in so doing, he is not
prejudicing and intimidating the gem
eral assembly. The prosecution, he
says, was based upon discriminating
evidence" a part of which was pro-
duced before the committing magis-
trate and before the grand jury, and
the prosecution has no other purpose
than that of bringing to justice per-
sons whom the respondent believes
have persistently violated the laws of
the commonwealth, and used the public
moneys of the state as though they
were part of their own private prop
erty."
In closing the answer, the district at
torney says:
Respondent AYERS that appeals of
the extraordinary nature of the one
in the petition in question, where rules
are granted accompanied with stay
of proceedings that interrupt the
orderly progress of the administration
of justice in the lower courts, are
calculated to do irreparable injury and
to make it impossible to successfully
prosecute persons of wealth and
power"

CHARGED WITH HAVING MUIR
DFRED CHRIST PETERSON.
Opening Day of the Case In the Dis
trict Court at Brigham City-Ar-
ray Of Legal Talent.
fsnecial 10 The Heraid.l

Brigham City. Utah, Dec. 19-In Judge
Hart's court here this morning the case
of the state against Jedediah Abbott, for
the murder Of Chrest Petersen on his
ranch on Bear river on the 18th of Sep
tember last, was called as set for trial.
County Attorney II. l.. Steed, assisted by
David Evans of Ogden and 3. II. Jones
of Brigham City, represented the state,
while (. 5. Var1an OF Salt Lake and At
torney Allison of ogden appeared for the
defense. Counsel FOR defendant made
some objections to the manner in which
assist tance had been obtained to assist
Prosecuting Attorney Steed in the pros
ecut.on. Mr.. Evans had been secured by
the relatives of the deceased, while Mr..
Jones had been secured by the county
court. After quite a little parieying, the
court overruled. the objections and the
work of impaneling the jury commenced,
which took until 4:3J %. m, when the
panel was completed and the trial began.
When court adjourned, at 5:45 p. m, but
two witnesses had been examined-Miss
Alice Robinson Of Davis county and c.
c. Johnson, justice of the peace of Bear
River City 1t is probable the case will
occupy the attention of the court all day
tomorrow.

ternoon session commenced with Miss
Lizzie Livernash, a reporter, on the
stand. Miss LiVernash explained that
she was detailed to interview Mrs. Bot
kin at Healdsburg, where the accused
was in seclusion at the time of the
murder. Miss Livernash told the story
of Mrs. Botkin'S acquaintance with
Dunning, as Mrs. Botkin had told it to
her. When told that she was sus-
pected, the accused woman became
hysterical and said: why should 1 be
suspected? 1t would have been better
to have killed the man and spared the
mother to her child"
Witness said the prisoner spoke of
some letters in connection with the
case, and asked witness if handwriting
experts would be able to identify writ
ing of a person laboring under great
excitement Mrs. Botlin also spoke of
the anonymous letters sent to Mrs.
Dunning, and said they were sent by a
woman in San Francisco.
One afternoon, while Miss Livernash
was with Mrs. Botkin in Stockton, Mrs.
Bot1ins son, Beverly, entered the
house in a state of intoXication, and
made remarks concerning his mothers
relations with Dunning. Mrs. Botkin
turned to Miss Livernash appealingly,
saying, My son has the power to damn
me-"
Late this afternoon ]. P. Dunning,
husband of one of the victims of the
ira gedy, was called to the stand. He
testified as to his relations with Mrs.
Botkin, and described with some degree
of details their affairs up to the time
he left this city for Cuba where he
was to do newspaper work. He said
that he had received many letters from
Mrs. Botkin, but had destroyed them
fast as thew came
On his return from Salt Lake in
August, 1897, Mrs. Botkin said she
had obtained a divorce from her hus-
band and for a long time he believed
this to be true
He had told Mrs. Botkin on one oc-
casion that his wife was passionately
fond of candy. He identified the
anonymous letters, the address on the
box of candy and the enclosed note
as being in the handwriting of Mrs.
Botkin.
On cross-examination Attorney
Knight asked Dunning if he had been
intimate with other women. on reply
ing in the affirmative he was asked to
name them. This he refused to do.
knight insisted on reply and Judge
Cooke ordered him to answer He
again refused, whereupon the judge
committed him for contempt. He was
arrested.
Court then adjourned until tomorrow

AN UNKNOWN LIAR.
Bailey Makes a SENATORIAL Statement
In the House.


Washington, Dec. 19.-This was sus-
pension day in the house, and several
bills were passed, the most important
of which was the bill aDproDriating
$3.50, 900 for the Philadelphia exposition
of 1899. The vote was exceedingly close.
1t had but two votes more than the
necessary two-thirds.
Bills were also passed under the sus-
pension of the rules to authorize the
distribution of the assets of the Freed
mems bank; to enlarge the scope of the
fish commission to include game birds;
for the relief of the Fourth mounted
Arkansas infantry, and for the relief of
John W. Lewis of Oregon.
Mr. Bailey of Texas introduced a res
olution in open house, directing the Ju-
dietary committee to investigate and
report on the question as to whether
the members of the house who had ac-
ceDted commissions in the army had
forfeited their seats in the house. He
made the resolution the text for some
remarks. in the course of which he
took occasion to bitterly denounce a
newspaper statement to the effect that
in his attitude on this question he had
been made a catspaw by prominent Re
publicans in the house. He denounced
the Republican who had instigated the
statement as an infamous liar, and
challenged him to father it. There was
no reply to Mr.. Bailey's statement, and
the resolutions were referred to the
committee on rules.
Mr.. Dingley. from the committee on
ways and means, offered the resolution
for a holiday recess. from Wednesday,
Dec d TO Wednesday, Jan. 4, and it
was adopted without division.

M. S. Quay, his son Richard r. Ouav.
and former State Treasurer Haywood.
in which the defendants asked the
supreme court for a rule to show cause
why writ of certiorari should not be
issued to take up the record of exami-
nation of the case in which the three
defendants are charged with con-
splracy to misuse state funds on de-
posit in the Peoples bank.
True blllS of Indictment were return
ed by the grand jury against the de-
PENDANTS and their trial was fixed for
Monday, Dec. H. but on Dec 10
justices Geen and Williams of the
supreme court, granted the rule asked
Ior by the defendants and fixed Jan
as the time for hearing the argu-
ments
The district attorney says that the
statement that the defendants could
not obtain a fair trial is ''scandalous
and untruthful and a gross imputation
upon twelve judges of the Philadel-
phia courts" and he declares it to be
untrue, as charged in the petition. that
! the prosecutions were inspired by
Judge James Jay Gordon, as alleged
Continuing, the answer says: The
evidence shows that public funds of
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. for
years have been used by the con-
spirators for their private and unlaw-
full gain.
Interest has been allowed by the
I Peoples bank on deposits of money
and paid to the accused in their bank
account and checked out by them,
along with their own money in the
same account. In other instances,
cashiers checks and drafts have been
made payable to the accused for GER
tain sums of interest on the public
money and these documents, bearing
the endorsement of the accused, show
ing the receipt by them of the interest
money paid, are in existence and in
possession of the commonwealth. The
/ books show that hundreds of thousands
| OF dollars of public money deposited in
| the Peoples bank were set apart for
| the use of NJ. S. Quay and used by
! him and that he was charged no inter-
/ est thereon. The book showed that
/ hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
of stock were bought for NJ S. Quay
with the money. That whenever he
{ failed to use his full allowance of
public money thus set apart for him.
, interest was carefully calculated upon
the balance not used by him in the
purchase of stocks ana paid to the
state treasurer.
The district attorney could not have
failed or refused to proceed upon this
4 evidence and to bring the accused into
court to confess or explain this testi-
mony. This respondent acted without
the slightest element of malice,
prejudice or ill-feeling. The prosecu-

KENNEY JURORS DISAGREE.
Second Mistrial of the Delaware Con-
spiracy Case.

Wilmington. Del, Dec. 19.-After de-
liberating since 6 o'clock last Friday
evening, the jury in the Kenney case
was discharged this afternoon without
having reached a. verdict. This is a sec
ond mistrial of the case.
Last July Senator Richard r. Kenney
was placed on trial, charged with aid
ing and abetting Teller Biggs of the
First National Bank of Dover in mis-
appropriating bank funds. Boggs has
already pleaded guilty. and was the
chief witness against the senator in
both cases. After the first disagreement
a charge of conspiracy was joined to
the original Indictment. About twelve
ballots were taken by the jury. On the
first they stood eight for acquittal.
three for conviction and one blank
The next ten varied slightly from these
figures, and on one they stood ten for
acGuittal and two for conviction. The
last ballot was the same as the first
District Attorney Vandergrift will re-
port the case to the department of JUS
tice at Washington, and await instruc-
tions as to his future course.
Although Senator Kenney will say
nothing concerning the second mistrial,
his friends profess to be much disap-
pointed, as they had expected an ac-
cuittal.

COMBINES ARE UNLAWFUL
When the Combination is Composed
of Workingmen.

Washington. Dec. 19.-Judge Bradley of
the district criminal court today over
ruled the demurrer to the indictment in
the Knights of Labor case. and, in
vigorous decision, stated that against
such combines as that alleged in the in
dictment the injured individual is at great
disadvantage and requires the protection
of the law.
The case is against members of the
District assembly, Knights of Labor, who
are charged with cOnspiring to injure the
business Of a local tradesman because
he refused to build certain wagons in the
District of Columbia. and the court, in
oVerrulinC the demurrer, said a conspir-
acy to injure is u misdemeanor at COM

that an Indictment viii lie at common
law for a malicious conspiracy to crush
or ruin a third person in his trade c. pro-
fession. The attempt by the defendants,
says the court, TO control and direct the
plaintiff was impertinent, arbitrary and
oppressive interference with the rights
and liberty of another.
