CHAUNCEY Nj. DEPEW,
Expresses His Views on our New
Policy and AnglO-American issOc1a-
ton

London, June ga representative
of the Associated Press saw Senator
Chauncey M. Depew, of New York, to-
night. He said:
A regards the expansion policy Of
the administration, 1 quite agree with
proceeding with this campaign. We are
convinced we are right, and President
Mckinley will go forward, 1 believe,
to a successful issue. Mistakes have
been made, but we learn by mistakes,
and, depend on it, we are going to
come out on top.
THE situation in Paris, which is
equivalent to France, seems gradually
becoming broader. All this spasmodic
upset, this changing of mysteries, these
cries from h house-tops, are surely
laying the foundation of making men
divide off into those cognate parties
which, we'll defined, will, in my opin-
ion, yet raise France into and keen
her in the front ranks.
Il have come pack to London n
am proud of the marvellous success Of
your ambassador, MI. Choate. He is
going to make a great mark. We did
not see the work Mr.. Bayard did at
the time he gave expression to senti-
ments which, possibly, had no reality
in England, and he knew it. We did
not know it, and blamed him; but he
was laying a foundation, and accom-
plished the marvellous work of prepar-
ing the way for the grand revolution
in popular sentiment on both sides Of
the Atlantic.
II go back confident that we have
great times coming into the United
States. Questions not dreamed of in
the last struggle are forging to the
front, and the fight will be keen n
stiff, and, as report goes, no man can
tell the issue with any success till the
electoral vote is declared"

Comes 60 q sudden End Because Of DEE
feet In the Observation-Disclosures True
Bill Secured

Chicago, June 29.-The trial of Au-
charged with having murdered and then
dismembered and boiled the remains OF
his wife in order to leave him free to
marry Ida Sutterlin, a 17-year-old girl
with whom he had become infatuated,
came to a sudden end today, when IL
wa found that the indictment named
Mrs. Becker as Elizabeth, when it
should have been Therese. The court
at once nolle pressed the Indictment.
The jury had been sworn in and the
defense asked for a discharge of the
prisoner on the ground that Becker had
been placed in jeopardy and therefore
ne could not be tried again. The court
denied the request, however, and a
bench warrant was issued and Becker
re-arrested. A new indictment will at
ICE be drawn.
The discovery that the Indictment
was faulty created somewhat of a sen-
sation in the court room.
The result, may be, however, that
Becker Will escape punishment, as the
case is now in such shape that the
prisoners counsel are confident of a re-
verSal by the supreme court, if a YER
dict Of guilty is returned. The Jury
had been sworn in and part of the evil
dence of the first witness heard. when
h attorneys for the defense moved
that the defendant be discharged and
the jury instructed to return a verdict
of not guilty, as the evidence produced
related to the killing of one Therese
Becker, while the indictment alleged
that the defendant had murdered Eliz-
abeth Becker.
The grand jury this afternoon voted
another indictment against Becker. The
jurors chosen to try Becker were kept
together and When the case is again
called for trial tomorrow nearly all of
them will probably be retained.

- r1ch In honey where the bee
can get them with least effort, means an
increase in the quantity and quality of
the honey garuered in the hives.
1t is on this principle that DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery increases the
quantity and quality of the nutrition of
the body. The ingredients of this medi-
cine are selected to furnish the blood
and stomach with the essential materials
for body building, in a concentrated and
assimi1able form. They make the con-
ditions under which the stomach and
organs of digestion and nutrition must
work, as easy as possible, and so reduce
strain and waste. As the strength OF
the body is re-established disease is
thrown off. It is due to this fact that
persons with weak lungs, obstinate
cough, bronchitis, and other diseases,
which if neglected lead to consumption,
find a complete cure by using Golden
