DEFENSE WILL TAKE ITS TURN. /
State Concludes Its Direct Testimony
Against Mrs. George.

Against Mrs. George.
CANTON, o.. April 18.-The state con.
cluded its direct testimony against Mrs.
George yesterday and the defense will
now have its inning. There was q
strong iEtimation that the lines Of de.
tense will be temporary insanity emo
tional insanity. This came from the
bench in decision admitting testimony
bearing on the relations between the
accused and Saxton, dating back as far
as the 80s. The judge announced that
these relations were admissible If insan-
ity is to be the defense or if insanity is
to be in any degree relied upon as part
of the defense. They were further ad-
missible. he said, on the grounds Of pre-
meditation or deliberation and also be.
cause the state has shown some Of the
relations between Saxton, Mrs. George
and Mrs. Althouse. This decision also
practically opens the doors for all Of
what has heretofore been regarded as
doubtful testimony. The defense is
now permitted to show all of the rela-
tions existing between saxton and Mrs.
George and this will involve the itiga-
ton in which Sample @. George, the
former husband, is concerned. It is
further inferred that the ruling will
permit the state in rebuttal to go into
similar testimony regarding the former
life of the accused and the effect will
be, as now viewed, to materially
lengthen the proceedings.

Rebellion China.

VICTORIA, B. O., April ls.-Iate Chi.
aese papers say news comes from Lam
chou, capital of Kansu province, that
the Mahommedan communities to the
northwest of the city-known as the
Salah Mussulmans, the most savage and
bigoted of that faith in the Chinese do
minions-have rebelled. A later dis
patch from Viceroy Tao of Kansu has
been received at Pekin. reporting the
massacre of 80 Chinese Buddhists by
Salah Mahommedans. A general con-
migration is feared and strong army
is assembled in Kansu. The viceroy
complained Of the withdrawal to Pekin
of Generals Tung Fuchsiang and Chang
Chun with their best troops, whose SAN
culinary battles for the past 20 years
against the Mahommedans have made
them greatly feared by the latter, not
only in Kansu, hut also in Chinese
TurEestan, and that in consequence the
whole northwest is practically defense
less and at the mercy of the Mahom-
medans if they should unite and rebel.

British Press Comment.

LONDON. April 1S.-The Times, COM
menting editorially upon Major General
Lawton's retirement from the Laguna
de Bay district in Luzon, finds in it
nothing surprising or discouraging.
British generals have often had to do
the same thing" says the Times, Gin a
similar circumstance. A much greater
matter is the reported discontent Of the
American troops, but here also all Of
the countries pursuing a foreign policy
have had the same difficulties to con-
tend with, and no doubt the United
States will soon find it advisable to ilni-
tate European measures, and to enlist
a regular force for the purpose of hold
ing the Philippines. Foreign possessions
cannot be held by volunteers

Populists Fix Date.

DEs MONIES, April 13.-The Populist
state convention will be held in this
city on Aug. 16, the same date as the
Democratic state convention. This was
decided at a meeting Of the Populist
central committee held yesterday. Gen
eral James B. Weaver acted as chair
man. He was retained for temporary
chairman of the state convention. No
delegates will be admitted to the con-
vention except those who are in sym
pathy with the st. Louis platform and
the principles enunciated. The election
OF delegates to the convention will be
one for each county and one for each
300 votes cast at the last general cleo
ton for the Populist candidate for gov
ernor. The fact of the Populist state
convention meeting in this city on the
same date as the Democratic convention
is taken as significant and possibly
means fusion.
NIagee Deserts Quay.
HARRISBURG, April 18. State Senator

vote for the ex-senator today and that

porters today and said the prospects

vETERANs. REUNION.

Attention Called to Reunion In June, Dem
ison's Hospitality Should be Unstinted.
The Westeran Iowa Veterans Asso-
citation comprising the counties of Ida,
Crawford, Monona, Harrison and Pot
tawattamie, will hold their annual re-
union at Denison, June and s. This
is undoubtedly the last time we will
have to honor these old, grizzly veter-
ans. 1t is desired that the citizens of
Denison shall throw open their homes
to these men in entertainment in such
a manner as will make the old veteran
feel that it was not all in vain that he
made the sacrifice that he did by bare
ing his breast against shot and shell
fired by misguided people who mag
ined they had grievances, but who to-
day say with us, 'giye US one country
aud one flag; the Stars and Stripes"
It's the desire OF the management that
Denison shall do herself proud in the
matter of entertaining the old guard,
and there has been committee APP
pointed to visit the good people of Den
ison to see who, and to what number
each citizen will entertain. Think this
matter over and be ready to inform
this committee what you can do. Then
again it will be necessary to raise some
money to pay the expenses to carry
this re-union through to successful
termination, and we hope the business
men will also be thinking up this mat
ter, and when the finance committee
shall visit you it is hoped that you will
respond literally. 1t is expected that
prominent speakers from abroad will
be here. and let us not have old Craw-
| ford county out-done. Committee.

Industrial Hearing,

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-The indus
trial commission examined two men,
bers Of the National Building Trades
Council of America, Milford Spohn and
John B. Healey. Both witnesses agreed
as to the improved conditions wrought
among the craftsmen by organization
within the past 20 years. They said
the tendency had been steadily toward
higher and more uniform wages,
shorter hours and more steady employ
ment, with a steady decrease in the
number of strikes among the crafts
engaged in building trades. The trades
organizations they said, were unani-
nous in advocating the restriction of
immigration and arbitration of dis
putes.

Spanish Elections.

MADRID, April ls.-Judging from the
election returns thus far received the
government may be expected to get 25O
out Of 41O seats. Two hundred and
forty three ministerialists have been
elected. The opposition returns include
86 Liberals, 30 Gamacists, 1S Tetuanists,
Is Republicans, Romerists and Carl
lists. Senior Sagasta has been returned
by a small majority for his birthplace,
Legrone. Senior Emilio CASTELAR, was
defeated at Murcia. He is badly dis
appointed at the nonsuccess of the Re-
publican candidates as a party. The
Socialists have been defeated, but they
polled an increased vote. There was a
good deal of bribery at Bilbao and in
the rioting at Tortois, southwest OF
Tarragona, two persons We're killed and
several injured.

Atwater Praises Canned Beef.

WASHINGTON, April 1S.-After devot-
ing the forenoon to practical examina-
ton of the beef supplied to the army in
cans. the Wade court of inquiry re-
called Prof. Atwater and he held the
witness stand during the greater part
of yesterday afternoon. He expressed
the opinion that pound for pound the
canned roast beef was of greater nutri.
tive value than fresh beef, but sug.
gested that unmixed with vegetables it
would not prove SO acceptable a ration.
Colonel Weston of the commissary de.
partment was also recalled during the
afternoon and examined with reference
to the supplies furnished the troops in
the field at Santiago.
