LONDON. Feb 1s.--There was a large

Of the United States embassy
Gilbert Parker, who presided, when
proposing the health of Mr.. Choate, dweIt
upon the debt authors owed to American
readers and to the American government
for a voluntary act of justice in passing
the copyright law a sentiment which
was heartily cheered.
Mr.. Choate, in the course of some.
what elaborate response, attributed the
great reading capacity of the American
people to Their system of general educa~
ton at the expense of the state and to
the pubic library system which, since
Its establishment in Boston under the
auspices of Harvard, in 1858, had grown
to such great proportions throughout the
United States. He went on to speak OF
the eminent service the authors of both
countries were rendering to each other.
In this connection he referred particu-
larly to the works Of Capt. Mahan and
Mr.. Bryce, the latter of whom, he said,
had produced a work on American insti.
tutions, In the American Common
wealth. which was without an equal.
Mr.. Bryce, in responding to the toast of
Our Guests" said:
"One consolation for the little differ
ences which arose between England and
America in 1775 is the character of the
ministers and ambassadors whom the
United States have sent to England.
am convinced that each one brings more
friendship and good feeling from the
American people than his predecessor,
feeling which the people of Great Britain
reciprocates in the warmest possible
manner.
Morley Roberts. proposing the health
of Gilbert Parker, said he regarded Mr..
Parker not as the ambassador, perhaps,
but certainly as the consul general of
Canadian literature He caused much
enthusiasm by alluding to the debt Great
Britain owes Canada and her other col
onies for their services in the present
emergency.
Mr.. Parker, whose response was very
happy, spoke of the right and justice Of
Englands cause and emphasized the
fact that Canada had been the first to

The appearance recently in St. Paul, Of
William ]. Cole, the detective following
SO quickly his arrest and sentence to the
Minneapolis workhouse, caused consid-
cradle comment. Not a few persons who
had read Of Coles trial and conviction
were surprised at the fact that he was
again at liberty, as it was generally un-
derstcod he had been given an arbitrary
sentence of confinement. Cole is well
known in both cities, having at one time
operated a detective agency in Mime
apolis.
Cole was arrested Jan. Is last by a
Minneapolis detective at the request of
surety company for which Cole had been
working. He was later arraigned on
charge of vagrancy, and on the following
day in the Minneapolis municipal court
pleaded guilty to the charge 1t was
stated at the time that Cole had been
given sixty days in the worthouse with
out the option of paying a fine. The case
was before Judge W. A. Kerr, and when
Cole appeared on the street within a few
days after his sentence it was thought
some influence was at work in his be-
half.
yesterday, said:
1.-THE circumstances surrounding his
case were unusual, but there was moth
ing irregular III his trial or in my order
of his release. He entered plea of
guilty to the charge of vagrancy which
was preferred by a city police officer
who arrested him for violation of a city
ordinance. The sentence was that he pay
a fine of $50 or be imprisoned in the city
workhouse sixty days. In default of pay
ment of the fine / committed him, and d
week or ten days later 1 suspended the
sentence and ordered his release because
1t came to my knowledge an injustice had
been done-that Cole, had he endeavored
to do so, might have defeated the charge
of vagrancy. The law under which our
municipal court was created contemplates
the exercise Of such authority by a mu-
nicipal judge"
I'm what form may information come
to a municipal judge that he may recon-
slider case?'
There is no specific form. 1t may come
through a letter from the person who
has been convicted. His friends or his
attorney may properly make such repre-
sensations. That is not an unusual thing.
Scarcely day passes but / receive a let
ter petition or call for purposes of this
kind Of course 1 do not approve of too
free use of power to suspend sentence,
but there is no question as to the right
Of a Judge to do so In cases of convictions
for violations of the city ordinances"
The records Of the Minneapolis munich
pal court show that there has never been
q conviction for vagrancy under the state
law In that court.

MADISON, Wis, Feb 1s-William
Mace, a farmer living near Mt. Horeb,
who died suddenly last Thursday. was
poisoned. This is the verdict of the cor
afternoon and Saturday.
The testimony at the inquest showed
that Mace left his home. about two miles
north of Mt. Horeb, last Thursday, to
buy stock. He took along for lunch two
pieces of mince pie. After driving about
four miles from home he ate the pie, and
Immediately began to have cramps in thu
stomach. He drove up in front Of the
residence of a neighbor, Konle, and call
poisoned"
Members of the Konle family carried
some milk to him, and he drank part
Of IT. He then succeeded In getting into
the Konle house, four or five rods from
the road, but died almost as soon as he
got inside, with all the symptoms Of
strychnine poisoning, 1t is said.
1t was brought out In the evidence at
the inquest that Mrs Mace bought one
drug store in Mt. Horeb, Dec. n, saying
she wanted to kill rats. She testified
that this dropped out of the buggy on
the way home and was lost. 1t was also
in evidence that boy of the family tried
to purchase strychnine at the Mt Horeb
drug store only a few days before his
fathers death, but was refused. Mrs.
Mace said there could have been nothing
wrong with the pie. as she had given
some of 1t to the children to take to
school for lunch, and they were not af-
fected.
Mr.. Mace evidently had no suspicion
of foul play, for just before his death he
said to the konles, I'm afraid the whole
family is poisoned, for we all ate some Of
that pie" The stomach was removed
from Nace's body and is now in charge
of Prof. w. w. Daniels, of the univer-
sity, who will make an examination for
poison. If he finds it, there will be little
question of the manner of Naces death

AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. 1s.-Information
reaching here today from Ortiz, state of
Sonora, Mex, is to the effect that a
courier has been dispatched after Gen.
Torres and the Mexican forces who are
now supposed to be some fifty miles or
more in the immediate center of the
Yaqui Indian country, engaging rowing
bands of Indians almost daily. The cause
of this special messenger is that infor-
nation has been received from suppos-
eddy reliable source that the main body
of the Yaquis, some 1900 strong, are
marching onto Guayamas, Mex, with a
view Of capturing that town, with all its
supplies, stores and Inhabitants. The
Mexican government has some 300 SOL
diers there In charge of the garrison and
the regimental supplies, and while the
town is strongly fortified, 1t is feared that
the large force of Indians will prove too
much for the soldiers stationed there, and
reinforcements may be necessary at any
moment
