AN OVERDOSE OF MEDICINE

Secretary Of State Berg, who is All

escape from death yesterday, according
to a telegram from the capital last
night, which says:
"a heavy overdose Of a proprietary
preparation containing choral nearly
resulted fatally to Albert Berg, secre-
tary Of state Of Minnesota, here today.
Mr.. Berg had been i'll yesterday and
today, and his physician prescribed
the chloral compound for the secreta-

Berg took two ounces of the prescrip-
ton, under the impression that 1t was
a harmless effervescent nerve tonic. 1t
was only with a great deal of effort
that he was relieved, and he suffered
agonies that made the application of
stomach pump and other remedies nee
essary.

Contents of the Confession of Prof.
George III. Stephens.

George III. stephens.
EASTON. Pa, Feb. 15.-The trial of
Prof. George H. Stephens. charged
with burning Cardee hall, Lafayette
college, reached a climax today. when
counsel for the defense introduced as
evidence a confession made by the
prisoner the day after his arrest. The
paper is a remarkable piece of work
and dramatic in the extreme. Stephens
admits all the charges under which he
is indicted, but lays the blame of his
downfall and his present predicament
at the door Of President Warf1eld. He
declares that he's was inveigled into
signing paper by the college presi-
dent that later turned out to be an
agreement on his partsto quit the fac
ulty. Warfield is severely scored and
condemned. and he is held responsible
for the physical and mental condition
of Prof. Evans, who is now In an in
sane asylum. Stephens declares that
Evans was induced to return from
Rome ON the promise of position from
Warfield. who at the last moment re-
fused to keep his part of the agree
ment. Stephens was much affected
during the reading of the confession.
At times he would weep bitterly and
laugh Historically Dr.. Warfield sat
near the prisoner during the session.

FILIPINOS TROUBLESOME.
Fight Desperately, Though Evident
ly Short of ANN unftiOn.

MANILA, Feb. 15.-Several rebels
yesterday afternoon, having fired from
houses bearing white flags on the
American outposts, Col Smith, with
Companies L, D and NJ, Of the Cali
fornia volunteers, proceeded to clean
out the enemy along his front. The
rebels opposed him from the brush and
several skirmishes occurred, during
which nine of the Californians were
slightly wounded before the rebels were
driven out The work proceeded today
in a systematic manner, gunboat
shelling the villages and working her
rapid-fire guns very effectively on the
Jungle. The entire California regiment,
with the exception Of two companies,
four companies of the Washington regi-
nent, two companies of the Idaho regi-
nlent and battery of the Sixth artil-
lery were engaged. The rebels were
driven towards Lake Laguna de Bayo.
The rebles held their fire. apparently
being short of ammunition, but they
fought desperately.
The American outposts in this direc-
ton are now fully twelve miles out.
All is quiet along the rest of the line,
with the exception that an occasional
exchange of shots between the sharp
shooters breaks the monotony Of the
day
