President Mckinley said good

another. We suggest this: sEVery sol

MRS. BoTKIN GUILTY.
The Famous Trial at San Francisco Ended
and q Life Sentence Assessed ON
the MurdArar.


San Francisco, Dec. 31.-To the dis
may of the defendant and her attor-
neys, Mrs. Cordelia Botkin was. last
night, found guilty of murder in the
first degree for causing the death of
Mrs. John p. Dunning by sending a
box of poisoned candy to her tempo
rary home in Dover, Del.
Mrs. Botkin will be spared an igno-
minious death. however, the jury that
found her guilty imposing the penalty
of life Imprisonment.
The verdict was unexpected. An &C.
quittal was confidently awaited by the
defense, while the prosecution feared
a disagreement. Rumors had been in
circulation to the effect that several
of the jurors strongly favored the de-
tense, and that their opinions were too
firmly grounded to be capable of
change. Although the jury was out
only four hours, more than one of
which was devoted to dinner, it is cur
rently reported that the verdict was
the result of compromise. The sex of
the prisoner made such conclusion
satisfactory to the jurors.

A DIPLOMATIC HINT.
vent American Citizens, as Individuals,
Visiting Syria and Palestine.

Washington, Dec. 31.-The depart
ment of state recently received from
the United States minister at CONSTANT
nople information that the minister OF
foreign affairs of Turkey had informed
him that the Turkish government had
no intention to prevent American citi-
zens, whether Jews or Christians (com-
ing as individuals and not en- MASSEY
from visiting Syria or Palestine as
travellers or visitors, the only object of
that government being to prevent
further colonization of Palestine by
Jews, as the settlement there of re-
ligious bodies in preponderating num-
bers might lead to political complica-
tons, which it is the purpose of the
Ottoman empire to avoid. The forego-
ing official announcement appears to
have a direct bearing on the Zionist
movement for the establishment of
Jewish nation in Palestine.

Washington, Dec. 30.-The war de-
