Epps Convicted of Murder.

Philadelphia, June 2S.-William Epps, better known as William Turner, alias Face" colored, who has been on trial here for the past two days, charged with the murder of Mrs. Mary Ann Lawler on Jan. 30 of this year, was last night con. victed of murder in the first degree.

Ehe police soon found a clew, and Epps and Samuel Dodson, another colored man, were arrested short ly after in Richmond, Va. Dodson will also be tried for murder, and a number of colored women must stand trial, eharg. ed with being accessories to the crime in harboring and assisting the two men to get out of town.

PHILIPPINE PORTS OPENED.
Fresh Impetus Given to Trade In the
 Islandn.

Manila, June 2S.-Major General Otis has ordered the opening up to trade of many important ports that have been closed since the outbreak. These include San Fernando, on the west coast of Lu- zon; Aparri, on the north coast; Curimao. and all ports in the islands of Samar and Leyte.
 Many ships used in interisland com merce have been tied up in the harbor here for months, and the shippers and merchants have been urging the govern ment to raise the blockade. When the de- cision was made known on Monday, the scene in the custom house was as ami mated as the floor of an American stock exchange. 1t was busy day. Ship own CTS rushed to get their clearance papers.
 There will be a great boom in the hemp business, which has been at a standstill. The ships will race to bring the first car goes before the demand weakens. As there is a heavy export duty on hemp, this will greatly increase the revenues. The interests of the natives, as well as the merchants and traders generally, led General Otis to take this action. Delega tions from the southern islands told him that the cessation of business was bring ing much suffering to peaceful inhabi- tants.
 Gunboats will protect the shipping in some ports, but elsewhere shippers must risk con6scation by the insurgents, who exact heavy tribute of all ships they per init to sail

 A special dispatch to the Chicago Chronicle from Tacoma says; Miss Frankie Flormen of the Black Hills, s. D., has discovered what Atlin mining men believe will become the greatest quartz mine in Alaska and British Co., 'umbia. It consists of an ore vein from 200 to GOO feet in width and nearly a mile long. In its course this immense vein Is intersected by Atlin City. The ledge is a true Assure of free milling ore, with a hanging wall of serpentine and a foot wall of quartz. The largest surface assay Is S27, and many assays average SS, mak- ing 1t much richer than the famous Tread well mine, if these values continue with the depth. To determine this shafts are now being sunk"

COLUMBIA VERY FAST.
Outfoots the Defender In n Prelimi
 nary Brush on Newport.

nary Brush on Newport.
 Newport, R. l., June 28.-The open sea trial between the new cup defender Co., iumbia and the 90 foot sloop Defender, which defended the American cup in 1895, took place off Newport yesterday.
 The test was made in a breeze which varied in velocity from to 14 knots an hour. With the wind blowing from the southwest, the two boats sailed south from Brenton's reef lightship for dis tance of at least ten miles. For three. quarters of an hour they sailed side by side on a close hauled reach, with the wind over their starboard bows. For a time the issue seemed to be in doubt Whatever one boat gained her adversary soon made up. But at the end of ten minutes the Columbia found herself and steadily forged ahead. In the i5 minute brush she beat the Defender by perhaps five lengths, a satisfactory but by no means an overshadowing victory. Easing off her sheets. the Columbia squared away and started fol home. Running full before the wind, her boom to starboard, she set her spinnaker to port, and though the Defender had dropped out of the race and there was no trial horse along the Columbia sped ahead at such a clip as tc make it certainty that in running free she is the fastest 90 footer on this side of the Atlantic.

The girl admitted that she had set fire to the child's dress and said the reason for the act was that she was tired of at- tending to the little one. She says that after she set fire to the baby's dress she left the room and closed the door to make it appear accidental. Then, when the flames gained headway, she summoned the family, but it was too late to save the child's life.

EnIistments VIII Re Continued at
 Regular Army Recruiting Stations,
 nnd Men So Enlisted to He Credited
 to the Provisional Volunteer Army.
 Washington, June 2S.-What amounts practically to a decision to send re-en- forcements to Major General Otis, rais- ing the army beyond the limit of 30,00O men fixed by that officer us necessary to quell the rebellion in the Philippines, has been reached at a conference held at the White House by President Mckinley and Secretary Alger. They did not decide definitely to raise volunteers, but the ac- ton determined on will be equivalent to that. The plan adopted is to continue the enlistment of recruits at the regular army recruiting stations beyond the limit of O5,000 regulars authorized by the ar- my reorganization act. The men thus se- cured will be charged on th.- rolls to the provisional volunteer force of 35,000 men. No limit has been placed on the number of enlistments to be made in excess of 65, 900, but the administration will decide in the near future just how many men will be needed by General Otis.
 The necessary orders for continuing enlistments were issued by the war de- luSi tNtuIuR. he OIuGeIb charge of recruiting men for the regular service say that the limit of 65,0o0 has been reached. This number is exclusive of the 2,000 men of the hospital corps and 800 general recruits, who, according to a recent decision of the comptroller of the treasury, are not to be charged against the authorized strength of the regular army. Under that decision the regular establishment now consists of 6S, 100 men, and all these have been SC. cured. If enlistments are made at the rate that continued up to the time the limit was reached, about 1000 additional troops will be enlisted every week. 1t is expected, however, that an official an- nouncement that the army wants recruits for service in the Philippines will result in great increase in enlistments over the rate of recruiting for the regular service. These additional men will, under the present arrangement, occupy an anona' lous position in the military service. They will be enlisted practically as regu- lars and yet be borne on the rolls of the provisional volunteer army. Under the law they cannot be enlisted for a longer period than that ending July 1, 1901. The plans of the administration in re. gard to their organization have not been matured, however, and something will be done soon to determine their actual status.

In the servants hall of Stafordshire baronet's house, a groom, who appar- ently had not noticed that he was the only one who ate with his knife, one day, while at dinner, chanced to cut the corner of his mouth.
