NATURAL CAUSES

The Molineux. Jurors will have had another rest

bearing OF that long g-drawn-out case on Tuesday,
which Will be the forty-seventh day of the trial.
A new theory Of what the prisoners counsel will
rely on TO establish his innocence aired yes
terday. 1t is that Mr. Weeks will attempt to show
that Mrs. Adams not poisoned at all. but died
from heart failure. brought on by drinking bromo-
setzer when her stomach was empty and her
physical stamina reduced by drinking.
Mr. Weeks, Of course, declined, usual, yes

defence. far made apparent at the trial,

the prosecution urges indication that
Molineux is guilty. would just as clearly indicate
that some else is guilty.

ENGLISH ADMIRATION RoUsED.

The Dutch republics have commanded the ad-
nniration of the English people by the splendid
defence which they have made in what was con-
sdered at the outset an unequal contest. The
Engishman has his faults. but he has an in
stinctive love Of fair play. and he now ac-
knowledges frankly that he has underrated the
marvellous fighting powers Of the Dutch farm
or and horse breeder. Whatever may be the
issue Of the campaign, both the English and the
Dutch will respect the valor which has been dis
played against them. and this may be new
bond Of amity and friendship. as It was between
North and South after the Civil War If the
English had carefully studied the record of the
first Boer war Of independence they would have

Germans are Offended.

After receiving Mr.. White, the U. s.
ambassador, and Sir Frank Lasceiles,
the British ambassador, last week, and
explaining TO them Germany's attitude
regarding Samoa, Emperor William
sent instructions TO the German am
bassadors in London and Washington
to the general effect that Germany con-
siders the new government in Samoa
illegal and the action of the British
and Americans a clear violation of the
Samoan act. The report of the be-
havior Of Admiral Kautz toward the
German cruiser Fake has given um-
bragg throughout the empire and 1t is
considered certain that, if the report
is confirmed, the United States viii
readily admit Germany's right to salts
faction and will repair Admiral Kautzs
errors. 1t is hoped, however, that the
accounts are exaggerated.

main streets Of Pana, H., in front OF
the telegraph Office, between white
and black miners, in which deputy
sheriffs took part, five men and one
woman were killed. Nine persons
were wounded several so seriously that
they will probably die. The cause of
the riot was the calling out of 100 dep

well mining districts to protect sew
eral families Of Negroes that were en-
deavoring to load household effects
preparatory to leaving for Iowa. The
goods they were moving were said to

ANCIENT CITY IN KENTUCKY
Evidence Found Near Carlisle OF IA Free

historic Town.
In the course OF excavations In
search Of water in the vicinity OF Blue
Lick Springs, near Carlisle, KY, inter
esting discoveries have just been re-
ported which indicate that large town
was once located on the site in some
prehistoric period long before the mas
todon became extinct, thousands or
years ago. The finds were buried quite
deep, owing to the fact that Blue Lick
Springs and Big Bone Springs are sit
uated In cutie low ground, and are
subject to overflow from. the Ohio every
spring. Each overflow has caused the
alluvial soil to cover the deposits
deeper and deeper. Last summer, from
some unaccountable reason. Blue Lick
Springs almost ceased to flow. and the
owners had to take recourse to vein
emanating from the opposite side oil
the river. Disconnected at their loss,
they began to cudgel their wits in the
hope of restoring their lost fountain.
Pumps from various places were put
to work, and where formerly a vast.
strong stream that would defy any
known pump flowed FORTH these hand
pumps took the water away. In the
course of the excavations they began
TO find at the depth Of about eight feet
skeletons Of deer, elk and buffalo, in
