A great deal of testimony has been
taken. While there is no positive evil
dence against Patient Cooper the
great preponderance of evidence shows
that he was often seen with Mrs.
Chaffers, and that in his converse

woman. He expresses his readiness to
marry her if permitted to do so.
Frank Logue, who is in charge of
the fuel room, received a letter warning
him to keep away from Mrs. Chaffers.

Cooper was the author of the letter.

first really good meal the volunteers
had partaken of since their departure
for the seat of war, and it was fully
enjoyed by all who were present. The
of the entertainment, and their good
work received much praise from the
volunteers
The parade out Market street to the
Pavilion was not imposing from mil
itary point of view, for the soldiers
were without arms, and most of them
were attired in the undress uniform
which prevails at Manila. Their re-
ception however, was none the less
enthusiastic, and the men who did such
good work thousands of miles away
from home will not soon forget the
warmth of their welcome in this city.
Major General Shafter, who spoke
few words to the returning volunteers
to-day referred in expressive terms to
the good work they had done during
their term of service, and expressed
the hope that all volunteer regiments
would make an equally good showing.
At the banquet in the Mechanics Pa

ident Of the Merchants Association,
made brief address of welcome to
the Oregon volunteers. speaking for
Mayor Phelan, who was unavoidably
absent. His address was responded to
by Colonel Summers, who introduced
General Shafter.
The General said, in part: II will

STAMPING OF BANK CHECKS.
An Important Circular Issued by
Commissioner Wilson.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Commis-
sioner Wilson of the Internal Revenue
Department has issued a circular alb
solutely prohibiting banks from affix-
ing stamps to checks unstamped when
presented, and requiring them to re-
turn the same to the drawers. In his
circular to Collectors the Commissioner
says:
You are directed to notify the banks
that are guilty of stamping unstamped
checks that if the practice is not i'm
mediately discontinued they will be
reported to the United States District
Attorney for prosecution"
The previous instructions to the ef-
feet that there was no objection to the
affixing by the bank Of the requisite
stamps to an unstamped check pre-
sented for payment is revoked. AS the
law is now generally understood, it is
held that there is no further need of
such permission.
This action was taken upon informa-
ton that certain banks had adopted
the practice of not requiring stamps.

age as against rival banks.

MRS. RICH.
Il to Be Surrendered to Mexican
Authorities to Be Tried


WASHINGTON, July 14.-Mrs Rich
is to be surrendered to the Mexican au-
thorities to be tried for the murder of
her husband.
For days past kilograms and letters
have been coming to the President and
to Secretary Hay. almost hysterical in
the strength of their protests against
the extradition Of the woman. 1t has
been represented that she is insane;
that there are impending physical OBJ
stacles: that she is innocent of the
crime charged against her; and finally.
that it would be an act of barbarism
to place an American woman at the
mercy of Mexican law and officialism.
All of these considerations have been
weighed, and it has been decided that
unless Mrs. Rich is surrendered there
can be no hope of securing the surren-.
der to our officers of the many Next

plunder on our side of the line and re-
treat into Mexico, so the precedent will

Kearns Knocks the Wind Out of

NEW YORK. July 14.-Tim Kearns
of Boston knocked the wind out of
Jack DAILY of Wilmington in less than
twelve rounds before the Broadway
Athletic Club tonight. Kearns is now
entitled to meet the light weight cham

Kearns and DAILY met for a twenty

and in the fifth left jab split his right

trickled down Kearns' face than the
Boston lad shot his left to Dalys optic
and cut it just as severely. Daily went
for his man with both hands, beating
him to the floor. Kearns got up at
close quarters and pummeled Daily hard
and fast, weakening the latter so that
only the bell saved him from going

INCENDIARY FIRE.
Attempt to Burn a Residence at Los
Angeles.

LOS ANGELES, July 14.-William
Colan, a horse dealer. has offered 500
for information as to who set his house
on fire this morning, when about Sl0O
damage was done. He openly accuses
his divorced wife and two grown sons
with the crime.
The house is 127 Hewitt street. Colan
lives there with his second wife, and
both were asleep in the house when
the fire started. A large quantity of
waste" saturated with kerosene oil
was placed under the house and fire
set to it. Luckily a neighbor saw the
blaze in time to save the house. and
perhaps the lives of Colan and his
wife as well.
About one month ago a similar at
tempt to burn Colan's house was made.
