mate If it is true that witnesses for
the state have been approached this
court has too much c0ptidence in the
integrity of counsel for the defendant
to think they had anything to do with
1t. 1t has come to my ears unsought
that witnesses for the state were being
tampered with and l want to say that
1t cannot stop to prosecute any person
caught in such business, no matter who
or what he may be, or whether the
witnesses are for the state or defense"
Inasmuch as a continuance would
call for new jury, it was agreed that
n postponement be had and the court
therefore postponed the case to March
10, at 10 o'clock, when all jurors, and
witnesses who had been subpoenaed
| for the case at this time will be expect
ell TO respond, without further notice.
While attorneys for the state are re-
tlcent as to what they desire to present
by the missing witness, it is said that
she knows something about the 500
bill that was found on the person Of
John Hartong at the time of the mur-
der. 1t is said that she knows other
things about the case and that the state
depended on her testimony for some of
it's best proof against the defendant.
1t will be remembered that Alice Will
liams is the woman who gave sensa-
tional testimony in the former case
against Henderson in which he was
convicted for the robbery OF the Ben
| ders near Massillon, for which crime
he was sentenced to eight years in the
penitcntiary. AT that time she told of
the division of the spoils and that Ger
tain gold coins were brought to her to
be changed. These coins were later
traced and such presentation made to
the jury that conviction was had.
Prlsonkeeper John II. Washer, of
this city, who was the means of hay
ing Henderson indicted for the crime
and who is one of the principal wit
ncsses fcor the state, said today: Il
have no doubt but that Alice Williams
was spirited away. have learned
that she left her home last Wednes
day. The postponemcnt of the tria
was merely to enable the state to sc
cure all It's important witnesses"

FEW FEET APART.
But the Waters Of These Rivers Flow in
Different Directions.

J There is place in Summit county,
| O., where a man can easily throw a
stone while standing beside stream,
the waters of which flow to the Gulf of
Mexico, and splash it in water that
| flows into Lake Erie, and thence to the
Gulf of st. Lawrence" said Mr.. George
Gettle. of Cleveland. II think there
is no other place in America where
the waters that flow both ways come
so close together. Where the waters
approach so closely they are in but lit
tie creeks. The water that flow south
goes into the Tuscarawas river, thence
into the Muskingum, the Ohio and the
Mississippi to the Guf of Mexico. The
water flowing north goes through the
CuyahOga river. Lake Erie, the Mia
CARA river, Lake Ontario and the st.
Lawrence. The Cuyahoga and the
Tuscarawas, which in the emiy days
were navigable for canoes, approach
with few miles of each other, and
when the white men came they found
q well-worn path between them along
which the Indians carried their light
vessels when travelling between the
great lakes and the lower rivers. In a
man of North America, published in
England 200 or more years ago, this
portage was among the most C onspicu-
ous objects marked, and was consider
ed of vast Importance in developing
the resources of the country. Even at
a later date a company was formed to
cut canal through between the riv-
ers, and lottery was authorized as
one of the means of raising money. but
the project failed of naturalization.
The only important part the rivers
and the portage beneath them ever
played was when they marked the
Western boundary of the United States.
A county in Ohio is named in honor of
the portage, but not one person in
thousand now even knows the signifi
canoe of the flame Washington
Post.

TRIADS CAUSING ALARM.

HONG KONG, July 26.-The signs of
menacing activity on the part of the Sc
cret society known as the "Triads" are
causing alarm. The boxers are believed
to be an offshoot of the 'Triads." whose
ramifications are widespread throughout
the southern provinces of China. The
organization is distinctly anti-foreign and
anti-Manchu; and numbers of Canton
troops are enrolled in its ranks.
A report is current in Canton that the
"Triads' are preparing for a night at
tack on the Shameen, and that the first
sign will be the absconding of native SER
wants The greatest apprehension pre-

ROCKHILL READY TO GO.
VIII Depart for China on Saturday
Wu and LO Are Lis Friends.

WASHINGTON July 26.-Special
Commissioner Rockhill will leave
Washington Saturday, with Mrs. Rock
hill, for San Francisco, stopping day
or two at Chicago en- route. This will
enable him to reach San Francisco in
time to take the Japanese liner Amer
ica-Maru, which sails for Yokohama
and Nagasaki on the third of August.
If Secretary Hay returns to Washing
ton tomorrow morning, as is expected,
Mr.. Rockhill will have a final confer
ence with him before leaving for China.
1t will not be necessary for him again
to see President Mckinley.
He has received the fullest instruc-
tons from the President already Mr.
Rockhill appeared this morning to be-
lieve that his task has been made much
more difficult by the developments of
the last day or two, particularly those
indicating the gradual drifting of China
into a regularly established state Of
war with the powers. He is chary
accepting, without full confirmation,
any advices as to the situation at
Pekin, that pass through the hands of
the notorious viceroy at Shantung,
Yuan Shih-Kai, who is we'll known to
him. Yuan was the Chinese govern
ment's representative in Korea, in the
period just preceding the China-Japan-
csc war, and it is said here that he was
the one official directly responsible for
that war
The Chinese minister at London, 10
Fung-Lo, is understood to be one of the
most intimate of Ii Hung Chang's pc
culiar Chinese circle. He was person
ally attached to the great viceroy' s
household, as was also Mr. WI, the
present minister to Washington, and it
is assumed that the ascendancy OF Lii
Hung Chang in the Chinese councils
at this time will mean the free employ
ment OF these two agents in the effort
to re-establish amicable relations be-
tween the Chinese government and tae
powers.

Washington Authorities Have Bris-
tov's Report 0nder Consideration.

WASHINGTON, July 26.-Now that
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Bristow's report has been made public,
the arrest of ex-Director General of
Posts, Rathbone, at Havana, may soon
follow 1t is intimateu at the postofice
department that the delay in arresting
Mr.. Rathbone has been due TO a desire
to await the statement of the results
of Mr.. Bristow's investigation, and also
to wish to give Mr.. Rathbone every
opportunity to explain items which the
report says are unaccounted for Post
master General Smith and Fourth AS
sistant Bristow decline to discuss the
matter. The postmaster generals let
ter of transmittal of the report to Sec
rotary Root calls particular attention
to two important points in the case
against Mr.. Rathbone on which the
latter's expected arrest probably will
be manly based. In this letter MI.
Smith says:
1T further shows that g. G.. Rath-
bone, late director general of posts,

which he himself obtained the money,

sonal character, making them charge

Secretary Root spent almost the en-
tire morning in consideration of the
report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow on the Cuban postal
frauds. 1t is understood that an or
der has been issued by Gen. Wood for
the. arrest of Rathbone. Secretary
Root discussed with Col. Edwards,
chief of the insular division, and Judge
Magoon, attorney for this division, the
financial and legal questions involved.
After the conference it was said that
Gen. Wood would be given full charge
of the matter.

LONDON, July 27.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Express tel
egraphing yesterday, says:
Lii Hung Chang now states that some
of the members of the legation have
already left Pekin and may be expected
shortly. He is becoming angry at the
scepticism of the consuls.
THE impression is gaining ground
here that the ministers of the powers
to whom China has appealed for media
ton may still be alive. The represent
tatives of France, Japan, Russia and
the United States have visited Lii Hung
Chang, but the others still keep aloof.
'The Americans here are indignant
over the fact that United States Consul
Goodnow has entered into relations
with Earl Ii, but Mr.. Goodnow de-
tends his action on the ground that he
is following the instructions of his gov
eminent.
Meanwhile active preparations in
the Yang Use region for war are in
progress, not for war against the
rebels, but against foreign powers.
Junk loads of Chinese soldiers and
Boxers disguised as coolies are arriv-
ing here daily. The arsenal is full of
arms and supplies are constantly COM
ing in. The Nan Kin and Kwu King
garrisons are being constantly rein
forced and the viceroys admit that
they cannot much longer Withstand
the pressure brought to bear by Sheng
and Ii Hung Chang upon them to join
the forces with Prince Tuan.
SIT is hoped that the arrival of Adj
miral Seymour here may stiffen the
backs>of the southern viceroys and re-
store the security of the port.
