tons and allow time for the company's
answers.
Mr.. Pannil said there is but one
question. namely. Why the company had
raised it's rates 10 $50 for unlimited
service phones.
Mr.. Tilton said there are many things
he wished to know, naming several,
among which were: Why the tele-
phone company should lose money
when the list of subscribers exceeded
500. and why the company here should
charge a higher rate for similar ser
vice than it charges in other cities?
Judge Wilcox stated that the Bell
company has not doubled it's rates ex-
cent in one case. He explained how
ond subscriber. who used the phone

Was Caught in the Hurricane.

The British steamship Valentia came
into port here Yesterday. The Valen-
tia IS in command of Captain Miller,
and was struck by the West India hur-
rcane off the Florida coast. The wind
blew fearful gale, sending the waves
n.ountain high and tossing the good
ship about as though 1t were n toy.
The story of Captain Miller is of in
tense and thrilling interest. and was
ta ken by the officers of the Norfolk
branch of the photographic Office and
forwarded to the Bureau of Navigation
in Washington. Here it will be added
to the history of thrilling shipping eN-
Deriencc in American waters.
The captain of the Valcntin narrates
that all along the Gulf passage the
winds were high but that when he
was off Alligator Keys Light. on the
morning of Wednesday. September 5th,
his ship was struck by the storm iii
all its power. The vessel rolled and
rocked. and her decks were swept by
furious seas. Her dcckioad. much of
which was slaves, was washed over
board and lost. Fortunately, however,
the vessel was Staunch and weathercd
the gales, though it was only by the
most heroic efforts of the officers and
crew that she ~.as kept from being
blown ashore by the furious hurricane.
Captain Miller further states that
during the storm he sighted n small
unknown bark lie was powerless TO
give aid. though it was evident the
frail craft was being carried to de-
struction.
The Valentia was bound from New
Orleans to Bordeaux. France. She left

it. She lost n portion of her cargo.

who has abandoned her starring tour
for the exalted position of leading
lady for Frederick Warde, is said to
make very pretty picture as Mini di
Borgio. in The Dukes Jester" when
arrayed in the costume of Cecco, the
fool.
During one of the instances of the
play she exchanges costumes with him
in order to effect an escape from the
palace. She leaves behind the clothing
formerly worn by herself. and into
which Cccco endeavors to dress. His
efforts to encase n fortyinch chest
within n thirty-inch bodice are said to
be fully as funny as the idea of this

AT OCEAN VIEW LAST NIGHT.
The new bill at Ocean View last
night came up to every promise that
was made for it, and scored greater
hit than shows usually do on Monday
night The matinee and night per-
formances were largely attended.
The applause accorded every act told
the story of the success of the bill. 1t
contains MANY HONcl IetiluItS, anu lnc
laugh-producing numbers fitted in eX-
celently.
There is an act that created a good
impression and made n solid hit. 1t
was the singing of the Victoria Lady
Quartctte, and they were compelled To
respond to uninterrupted applause and
bow acknowledgements two or three
times. They assisted in the presenta-
tion of n beautiful scenc-electrical
number that was most interesting.
The act is beautiful, especially the
electric light scene. in which many red.
white and blue lamps made pretty
picture. fra aiming the faces of the pref
" quartette. Barr and Evans made
screaming hit with their comedy
sketch. in which both were given
chance to exhibit talent in bright spe-
calty work. Evans and White. duo
of good dancers, We're applauded, and
SeClede and Raymond's comedy bust
ness was most acceptable; as were the
Sisters Kinnura, who received several
encores.

will be no reserved seats sold at the
matinces everything being free. Re-
served seats can be secured for the
night performances as customary.

fhE CLARK INVESTIGATION.
Defense Trying to Prove Conspiracy
Against the Senator.

Against the Senator.
Washington, Dec. 7.-Yesterday \
number of witnesses were before the
senate committee investigating the
election Of Hon. A. w. Clark to the
senate from Montana. Among these
were State Senator Cullen, State Rep
resentative Mclaughlin, Ben Falk and
Harry Ringwalt Mr.. Cullen testified
that previous to the meeting Of the
legislature Mr.. Marcus DAILY had told
him that If Clark was elected to the
senate he should not take his seat,
and that his supporters would be de-
nounced as bride takers. Mr.. McLaugh-
lin was put on to impeach the testi-
mony of Speaker Stiff, of the Montana
legislature, concerning the sale of tim
Der lands to Mr.. Clark just before the
opening session of the legislature. He
said that he had sold this land to Mr..
Clark for $4,000, or much less than
its proper valuation, that he made the
sale through Mr.. Bickford, and that
in making 1t he had not discussed the
United States senatorial contest with
Mr.. Bickford. Mr.. Ringwalt told Of a
conversation which he had had with
Mr. Whiteside before the meeting of
the legislature, in which the latter had
told him that there was to be big
sensation in view of Mr.. Clark's sem
atorial race, and that $4,000 would be
spent in it.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN RECANTS.
Declares the East II no Longer "The
Eneny's Country"

Declares the East II no Longer "The
Enenhy's Country"
Bridgeport, Conn, Feb. 7.-William
j. Bryan at II o'clock last night fin
ished the work for which his New
England rip was undertaken. In the
afternoon in Hartford he spoke to an
audience Of 1900 persons. He took
occasion to rap the knuckles of the
insurance and manufacturing capital
lists Of the capital city, "the splendidly
wealthy city Of Hartford" as he put it.
In Bridgeport, Fairfield avenue,
where the Park City theater is located,
was congested an hour and half
before the hour for the address. Traf-
fic of all kinds was blocked. At every
entrance the crowds gathered. Even
the stage entrance, jealousy and faith
fully guarded in favor of holders Of
specially issued tickets, was besieged.
The theater, with an advertised ca
pacity of 1880, was packed from pit to
dome, and over 1000 were turned
away.
When Mr.. Bryan was introduced he
was compelled to wait for some mo-
ments for the storm of applause to
sIbside. He began:
II want to take back something l
once said. 1t was true at the time,
to be sure, but it is not true now, and
the meetings which have addressed
in New England during the last few
days have convinced me of the fact.
Early in the campaign of 1896, upon
leaving Nebraska for the east, re-
marked jocularly that was going into
the enemy's country. Again I say l
want to take that back. New England
is no longer the enemys country"
A taunt or two at self ascribed wis
dom" for the east" and he settled
down to a discussion of his theories.

THE MOLINEUX TRIAL
Counsel For the Defense Decides to
Submit No Evidence.

Counsel For the Defense Decides to
Submit No Evidence.
New York, Feb. 7.-Bartow g. Weeks,
counsel for Roland B. Molineux,
charged with numbering Mrs. Rather
Inc J. Adams by poison sent to Harry
Cornish in December, 1898, took a bold
and unexpected step yesterday, an
nouncing that the defense would sub
NIT no evidence. In three notable
poison trials in this city-those Of Car
Isle Harris, Meyer and Mrs. Fleming
the defense called no witnesses. Har-
ris and Meyer were convicted and ex-
ecuted, and Mrs. Fleming went free.
Mr.. Weeks began his summing up yes
terday, and had not finished when
court adjourned. He resumed today,
and will continue perhaps tomorrow.
He speaks with great earnestness, and
the jury listens to him intently. He
told of his long personal friendship
with MolineuX, and he attacked Harry
Cornish bitterly. The tenor Of his
argument Is that the proofs point more
strongly to Cornish as the murderer
than to Molineux. Molineux's father,
mother and wife were in court, as was
Cornish, who was visibly nervous.
Molineux seemed cool and collected.

"Unworthy Generals and Infamous
Government" Says Almenas.
Madrid, Feb. Count Almenas,
who insists the responsibility shall be
brought home to those to whom
Spain's defeats in the Spanish-Ameri-
can war were due, created a scene in
the senate yesterday by asking if it
were true that conspiracy existed
among the generals to prevent light
being thrown upon all the circum-
stances of the war.
Lieutenant General Azcarraga, min
lister of war, replied that the attitude
alleged to have been adopted by the
generals did not exist. He protested
against 1.-The campaign against the
prestige of the army"
The president of the senate, Cap
tain General Martinez de Campos, call
ed Almenas to order, saying he could
not allow it to be said in parliament
that the Spanish generals were I'M
worthy of confidence.
Count Almenas replied: There
were unworthy generals, as there was
an infamous government, who led
Spain to dishonor."
A great uproaC ensued, amid which
the president called upon Count Al
menas to withdraw his statement. The
count refused, and the excitement In.
creased.
After long discussion Count Alme-
mas refused to give any explanation Of
his conduct, and the senate adopted Q
vote Of censure.

who is busy recruiting men for the
war in South Africa. 1t is said he has
two offices, the location Of which is
