The Act Was Crime.
THE regulation of the commissioner-of
which we have seen courts take judicial
notice-required the brand specified in the
indictment to be placed on the package,
and the allegation in the Indictment is that
the particular brand in question was one
branded thereon IN pursuance of the re-
quirements of law. 1t follows, therefore,
that the statute defining the crime the
regulation made and the allegation in the
indictment that the brand was one re-
quired by law unite to show that the de-
PENDANT was charged with the commission
of an act in violation of public law for
bidding it, and this Blackstone, 4 b. Com,
p. s. defines to be- crime.
While the careful pleader out of abun-
dance Of caution might specifically recte
such regulations. as we find from an ex-
animation Of the indictment was done in
United States agt. Ford, 90 Fed. Rep, 46T,
yet the omission to plead that of which
courts take judicial notice should not rem
der the indictment SO meaningless as to
justify the present ground of demurrer.
viz, that the same did not state facts suf-
ficient to constitute any onense against the
United States
After mature consideration we are of
opinion a statutory crime was charged in
the third count and that no error was
committed III, In owe overr ruling the demurrer
cussion of the first and fourth counts. The
record will he RENTED to the district court
with directions to enforce the sentence

THE GROWING ALIBI
The Mother of Defendant
 Lee Gives if Strength.
The Defendant Himself Tells How He Made Comfortable inc Last Moments of a Man 10 Whom He Had Given Death Wound.

HiEsboro, N NJ, June S.-The d:- fense in the Fountain murder lrial strengthened it's alibi this morning when Albert Blevin. a T. & P. fire . man who worked near Dog canyon, testified that he was with Lee and Gilliland at Lees ranch sixty miles from the murder scene during the very time Gel. Fountain and son are said to have been killed. Mrs. Lee, the widowed mother of the defendant Lee, told a straight story of the presence of her son at home at the time Col Foun- tain and his son are supp0se1 to Gavo been murdered
 Oliver Lee repeated the defense's story Of his whereabouts at that Lime and said that he first heard that ne was suspected several days later He then went to Las Cruces and found warrant had been issued He offered to surrender and stand trial then, but was refused. He learned that a posse was searching tor him and that among it's men was Ben Williams, who was said to have a mania for murder, and lthers known to be his enemies. Then he returned to his ranch.
 Continuing, the witness said that, fearing the Officers would kill him with a warrant as an excuse, he hur- ried home but visited Las Cruces sev. eral times afterwards and learned that the warrant had been withdrawn. When the last warrant was issued he did not surrender, because of mob talk and of information that certain people had said they would do him violence if he came in. Subsequently he agreed with Judge Parker, who is now trying the case, to surrender on the condition that he be not commit ted to jail, and he did so
 Regarding the killing of Deputy Kearney last July, he said he slept on the roof because he feared he would be killed by threatening parties 'I was fired upon when asleep said the wit ness. Kearney fired twice and Garrett also fired before I fired I heard no command of Hands up, but Garrett was talking while shooting. I killed Kearney- I took care of him and made him as comfortable as possible while dying. We were at Dog canyon almost every day after Fountains dis appearance, and no one sought us there'

New York, June S.-Everything is in readiness for the big fight tomorrow between Bob Fitzsimmons and Jim Jeffries, and without police interfer- ence or any unlocked for accident to either one of the principals the bout will take place as scheduled in the arena of the Coney Island Sporting club Fitzsimmons is still a prime favorite in betting, but there is plenty of Jeffries money in sight, and while no large wagers have yet been record ed, there is no doubt that with grow ing confidence in the promoters the betting will be rapid.
 Everything was practically at a standstill today at the training quar- ters of both pugilists today. Both men were doing very light work. Jef- fries. punched the bag for a few min utes and after a brief bit of practice with the medicine ball, he skipped the rope a couple of hundred times.

As soon as Fitz- simmons reached his dressing room he and Kenney stripped and dcnned their fighting rigs. They entered the ring and spared three fast rounds. only exchanging light taps.

MEDICAL ASSOCIATION
An Address by SaraeOn-Genera
 SsSrnb erq of fhe Army.

Columbus, O., June S-Inter3st in today's session of the American Medi- cal Association convention was center ed in an address by Surgeon General Sternberg of the United States army. He was accorded close attention and was warmly applauded. His subject was ''The Sanitary Conditions of the War; The first part of General Sternberg's address was devoted to a eomDarisan sdeaths-by casualties and disease in the war with Spain with those of the war of the rebellion, from which he showed that there had been great hygienic improvement. This was traced through the era of peace. Without cr:hcizing the medi- cal preparation for the late war Gen eral Sternberg pointed out other needs of the army. Said he:
 "A trained medical corps, hardly adequate for an army of 25,00O men cannot control the sanitary condition when this army is quickly expanded to 250,000. Physicians and surgeons from civil life, however we'll qualified pro- fessionally, as a rule are not prepared to assume the responsibilities of med ieal officers charged with administra- tive duties and the sanitary supervi- sion of camps. The proper perform ance of such duties cannot be expected from a physician without military training or experience, no matter how distinguished a position he may have held in civil life
 Courage and patriotism on the part of line officers and enlisted men can not take the place of knowledge and experience. New levies of troops are as a rule ignorant of the first princi- pies of camp sanitation, and reckless as to the consequence of their neglect of prescribed sanitary regulations. Therefore training and discipline are essential factors in the preservation of the health of soldiers in garrison or in the field.
 ''The value of the aphorism in time of peace, prepare for war, has receiv- ed additional support This prepara- tion should include a corps of trained medical officers larger than is abso- lutely necessary for the army on peace basis. and systematic instruc- tion in military medicine and hygiene for the medical corps of the national guard as well as for those of the reg ular army; also instruction of line Of ficers in the elements of hygiene and especially in camp sanitation. It should also include the establishment of camping grounds in various parts Of the country, having an ample supply | of pure water, a proper system of | sewers, etc 4 If our volrnteers could | have been assembled in such camps | during the late war, saving in lives and money would have resulted which i would, without doubt, have demon strated the economy of such prepara- tion for war in time of peace"

 "The city of Morcng is the only one cn the bay garrisoned, all the other troops having been withdrawn.

 the Filipino Congress.
HE'S THE HEAD OF TEE HEAP
If Is Believed Thai His Assumption of Dictatorship Means Thai He Intends 10 Make Peace and Se- cure Whatever Advantage There Nay Be 10 Benefit Himself Alone.

Washington, June S.-A report reached here today in news dispatches by the way of London that Aguinaldo had dissolved the insurgent congress and had assumed dictatorship over the islands There has been no official confirmation of the report and it may be said to be neither disbelieved nor believed. The importance of this ac- tion by the insurgent leader, if it fas actually been taken, is recognized. It would be understood to mean that Aguinaldo had become distrustful cf his associates or else that he has de- spaired of his cause and is preparing to put himself into position in which he could represent to the Americans that he had been the sole instrument in bringing the rebellion to an end
 Officials are in doubt as to whether in directing his dictatorship he is ar- imated by desire to rid himself of his generals, Pillar and Luna, or whether it is to take into his own hands the authority to make terms Of peace. IL Is D0neV6Q nere IL ASulu~ aldo can bring these men to his will and assume control he will at once make peace, believing he will be able to secure better terms for himself than he would otherwise
 It is certain, though, that even in treating for peace the dictatorship would not be recognized by this gov ernment or it's representatives and it is difficult to imagine any advantage the leader could acquire in his new role, It tis. also remembered that he betrayed his countrymen in an insur- Feetion against Spain, receiving a large sum of money which he appro- priated to himself and then resumed the rebellion.
 The three sailing vessels and one steamer reported to have been cap tured by the United States gunboat Albany off the island of Negros, Phil ippine islands, are supposed by naval officers here to be blockaders carry ing supplies of food and ammunition to the islanders who are threatening tc rise in the interior.
