DEFENsE,s ADMISSION.

The defense admitted the identity of
this letter as having been written by
the defendant, or rather they admitted
the identity of exhibit and "a. which
are photographs of the original letter
and envelopes. This is considered an
important point, as the letter was
written on the famous egg-blue paper,
surmounted by the three interlaced
erescents. The photo plainly showed
the interlaced crescents,
Mr. Weeks took up the cross exami-
nation of Mr.. Hall, and in reply to Mr..
Weeks questions, witness testified
that he did not himself send the rem
edy asked for in the letter, though he
was sure it had been sent A few
minor questions closed the examination
of Mr.. Hall. aMr. Osborne asked that
another witness, a girl take the stand
to corroborate the evidence of Hall.
The recorder, however. closed the ses-
sion by admonishing the jurors not to
read or talk about the case. He ex-
pressed confidence in their integrity.
and said that as long as he held the
opinion he now had he would give the
jurors their liberty during the taking
of evidence Court then adjourned UNI
til Monday morning.

corder considered the matter for time
and decided that, while the commune
cation was of a privileged character,
as an exhibit, it was of such privilege
as could be waived. He then overruled
the objection.
Mr.. Weeks then objected to its admis-
sion. on the ground that there was no
proof of it's having ever been sent or
received.
Suppose" said the court, that this
paper was found in the pocket of the
defendant at the time he was arrested,
and that it never had been sent by him
or received by any one. l overrule
your objection
The application was then read in
court. 1t was in an answer to cir
cular containing statements to the eff
feet that certain remedies would cure
certain physical mental and nervous
defects.
The application stated that the appli-
cant was 81 years of age, a clerk, that
he was single, but contemplated
matrimony if he could safely marry"
The applicant said he measured 81
inches around the chest and 80 about
the waist.
Mr.. Weeks objected and asked that
the testimony be stricken from the
record as being so prejudicial to the
the court could remove it. The court
overruled it.
HALLS TESTIMONY.
Mr.. Kinsley was excused and George
William Hall of Moodus. Conn, was
called. Mr.. Hall was shown a certain
exhibit, the Burns letter Witness said
he got the letter from Miss Rose Hall
slime. He further said that he was
employed in the laboratory of Prof.
Fowler, who was we'll known and who
sold almost all kinds of remedies.
How many thousand letters were
received by Prof Fowler with that
one?" asked Mr.. Osborne.
There were many
II object" shouted Mr.. Weeks
Your objection is sustained" re-
piled the court.
Il propose to show" retorted Mr.. Os-
borne, that this letter was one of
thousands sold by James Burns to
Prof. Fowler, and that Rose Hallstine
found it and gave it to Mr.. Hall, who
happened to notice the signature Of
Roland B. Molineux and who sent it to
Capt. McCluskey."
Mr. Hall then testified that the letter
was turned over to the shipping clerk
and then later put on file. 1t was taken
from the file and given to a newspaper
man.

ILLEGAL LAND ENTRIES.
United States Officers After Fraud.
u1ent Homesteaders.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1S.-The
United States land offices of this city
Seattle, Los Angeles and other coast
cities have combined to make an inves-
ugation of alleged : fraudulent home
stead entries on timber lands in this
State. During the past fifteen years the
Government is said to have lost in this
way upward of 81 100000 Special
Agent Ward Dixon of Seattle and j.
Pryor of this city have the direction of
the investigation.
One case comes up for hearing in the
District Court in a day or two, and the
local agent has prepared cases against
dozen persons in this State. 1t is
charged that the Government is de-
frauded by men who file homestead en-
tries on timber lands costing only $16,
and emitting them to cut such timber
as may be necessary to prepare the land
for cultivation and Improvement In
reality they make no improvements,
but cut down the pine trees and sell
them to lumber companies. In this way
millions of trees are said to have been
destroyed. and the Government mas
never received the $3.50 an acre for
which it agrees to sell the land.

As a Result Of Arbitrary Assumption Of the
Summit as the Boundary Line.
Would Take But Little to Create
an Open Demonstration and a
Resort to Arms Should the
Canadians Attempt ANY Further
Encroachment on American Ter
ritory.

SKAGUAY (Alaska), April IA, via
Seattle, April 1S.-The actions of Depu-
ty United States Collector of Customs
Andrews in holding all liquors for the
interior here and refusing to forward
them by conFoys 50 long as the Cana
dian officials insist on stopping Ameri-
can officers at the Summit, has caused IN
accumulation in the bonded warehouse,
until to-day there are nearly 100 tens
of liquors of all kinds awaiting the ac-
tion of the Secretary of the Interior on
Mr.. Andrews letter asking for instruc-
tions In the meantime a liquor famine
is threatened at Atlin, Log Cabin and
Bennett, and smugglers are making b 8
money in getting past the American
customs officers.
There is a strained feeling existing 6
toward the Canadian officials as the re-
suit of their arbitrary assumption CT the
Summit as the boundary line, and it
would not take much to create an open
demonstration and resort to arms
should the Canadians attempt any fur
ther encroachment on American terri
tory.
While there was no truth in the re-
ported battle between miners and
mounted police on the boundary line IN
the Porcupine district, it is stated that
a forward movement was contemplated
by the Canadians, and all arrangements
had been perfected to move the boun-
dairy line far enough toward the coast
to embrace the rich diggings Of the
Poroupine River. The miners in there,
numbering 7G0, had a few determined
leaders. Word was sent to the mount
ed police that their attempt to encroaeh
i-,
b,oodshed. AS the Americans are III
abe majority, the Canadians reconsider
ed their intentions.
A corresponding move from the Sum
init to Skaguay was also planned. and
it is the knowledge of these contem-
plated movements that has aroused a
feeling Of antagonism here against the
Canadians that will yet result in serious
trouble if the boundary question is not
settled soon.
Edward Hensel, formerly of Sioux
City, Iowa, committed suicide at Atlin
City April 9th in fit of alteration
by shooting himself in the head with a
rifle
a recent ruling of the Gold Commits
sioner of Atlin is the source of consid-
erable comment. The ruling provides
that all miners in the Cissiar Mining
District who have free miners certili-
Gates and who have located claims,
must appear and file with the Gold
Commissioner before April 21st an affi-
davit that they are the original locators
of their claims. Many of these original
locators are absent and cannot ret..Jn
in tirle to make the required affidavit.

monty known as Windy Jim,'' has ar
rived here from ST. Michaels, which
place he left last November. Dodson
visited all the mining camps on the

tiers. He brings the first news received

is to the effect THAT many prospectors
are leaving that country and making

DARE AMERICA RETREATa
British Newspaper Comment o:
Philippine Trouble

LONDON. April 19.-The morning pa
pers all comment upon the situation in
the Philippines to the general effect
that it is now impossible for the Unit
ed States to draw back, and that the
Americans must from time to time ex-
pect such apparent reverses as Major
General Lawton's retirement from the
Santa Cruz district.
The tDaily Mail'' in an editorial, en-
titled Dare Americans Retreat?" says:
1--WE do not believe for an instant that
the wishful prophecies of France, Ger
many and Italy will be verified, and
the United States retire vanquished
and humiliated.''
b Comparing Americas task to Eng
lands in Burmah, the Daily Mail
says: "Pluclz and doggedness will tri-
umph in the end. No true-hearted
American can raise his voice to recall
the troops or to refuse reinforcement
That would. be ,cowardice, and contl-
mental nations would never cease to
Sneer."
The STANDARD" whose editorial is
sympathetic, rebukes those who would
make political capital out of General
Lawton's retirement, after having brill
iantly executed a strategic program,
and out of the nlischance Admiral
Dewey records in an attempt to fulfill
an obligation of huma nifty. 1t believes
that the volunteers themselves would
resent the suggestion that they are ex-
hausted by hardship or are premature
ly homesick.'
The daily Telegraph" says: 'If i'm
tperialism is to be made the shuttle
cock of Republican and Democratic
bosses, the white mans burden will
prove too heavy for American shoul-
ders, but such a failure would rebound
to the discredit of the genius of the
Anglo Saxon race
