DECLARED NOT GUILTY.
Viola Horloel<er Cleared of the Charge
of Attempted Murder.

HASTINGS. Neb., March so.--It took the
lawyers several days to try the Horlocker
poisoning case, but the Jury only required
an hour and ten minutes to get back into
the courtroom with a verdict after 1T was
submitted to them at 10:30 this forenoon.
County Attorney McCreary concluded his
argument, and Judge Adams instructed the
jury at considerable length. When the de-
fendant was summoned to the court to hear
the verdict she was accompanied by her
two sisters. The accused was fairly well
composed, while her sisters sat wringing
their hands as the jury filed in.
There large crowd I'm the court
room when the judge asked the foreman of
the jury If they had agreed upon verdict,
and as the paper was handed up there was
a deep silence. AS the jury proceeded with
the reading of the verdict and pronounced
the words Not guilty." Viola Horlocker
arose, uttered a piercing shrek and fell
back in faint. Her sisters. who had been
greatly agitated before, with the assistance
of others. revived her, and as soon as she
was able Miss Horlocker made her way to
the jury box and thanked each one of the
jurymen. The whole scene was most dra-
matte and there were many tears in evil
dence.
After the usual preliminaries the defend
ant was discharged from custody and went
to the home OF her sister, Now that the
strain of the trial is relaxed Ii is an
nounced that she is completely prostrated.
She will probably return to the Jackson
vile Ull.) sanitarium. Neither Mr.. nor
Mrs. Morey were present in the courtroom
when the verdict was returned.

WASHINGTON, March 30.-The surpr1D-
ing and indecent attack on Senator Bever-
idge, this afternoon. by Senator Pettus, OF
Alabama is severly criticised by every fair
minded person, who heard or read It.. Pet
tus is an old man, he will be seventy-nlne
on the sixth day of next July, and is now
in the third year of his first term in the
Senate. He belongs to the Calhoun school
of constitutional construction. He was dis
turbed and offended by the treatment the
Calhoun theories received at Beveridge's
hands, and having no argument with
which to meet him, attempted personal
ridicule That was the natural course for
him to take He is lawyer, and II is ira
ditional with some members OF that pro-
fession to abuse the opposing counsel when
they cannot meet his facts or arguments.
His coarse attack upon the absent senator,

is quite in keeping with the manners OF
the antebellum plantation school OF South
ern statesmen, of which he is belated sur
vivor, and, like the ostentatious desertion
of the chamber yesterday by the Republic
can regulars. simply shows how badly
Beveridge's speech hurts those against
whose plans and theories it was directed.
Nevertheless, the vulgar attack Of the Ala
bama senator upon an absent-fellow sena-
tor was most unusual and indecent, TO
characterize II by no harsher terms. and Is
roundly condemned by all who believe
that the common and decent amenities OF
life should be observed, even among sena-
tors

as an illustration OF this he announced that
the murderers OF Missionary Brooks had
been brought to justice.
Sir Charles Dixie. Radical. said the de-
bate had shown that the weakest point in
Great Britain's foreign policy was the story
of her dealing with China.
Sir Edward Grey. Liberal. said that Great
Britain ought to be gratified by the favor
able response given to the circular note of
the United States government. The United
States had adhered strictly TO the prin-
ciple of noninterference in foreign affairs
generally, and this circular was depart
ure from their old practice. He thought
the Americans should be congratulated
upon the fact that. having decided to take
the initiative in a question of foreign pol
icy. they had taken a step of this kind.
After further discussion the subject was
dropped and the House went into commit

GALLANT BLUE JACKETS.
They Rendered the Army Invaluable
Service at the Front


LONDON. March 30.-The Gazette this
evening contains dispatches from Rear Ad-
miral Harris. commanding the British
South African station. reporting the pro-
ceedings OF the naval brigades at Belmont
Gras Pan and Colenso. They throw little
new light on the battles, but show that
the courage and determination of the naval
men were beyond praise and that their as
sistance to the military authorities was in
valuable.
Lieutenant Archibald Deas, of the third.

proceedings with four naval guns at Cras

strong kopjes on either side of the rail-
road, relates how, after two hours, she'll

G.. CLEVELAND INTERVIEWED.
The Ex-President In Favor Of the
Hay-PauncefOte Treaty.

PRINCETON, N. j., March 30.-Former
President Grover Cleveland to-day relaxed
his customary reserve as to the discussion
of public and political affairs. and in the
course of an interview expressed himself
in approval of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
for the naturalization of the Nicaraguan
canal. He said: with reference to the
canal across Nicaragua, 1 have always
thought that whatever was done in it's
promotion by the government Of the United
States should be done as a contribution by
IL to the cause of progress and advancing
civilization. 1t seems TO me that We have
gained that position among nations of the
world that would make IL appropriate for
US, in accordance with the spirit Of our in
stitutions, to make such a contribution.
This, of course, means the complete neu-
trality of the construction, and since the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty is directly i'm line
with this sentiment, i am, of course,
strongly in favor of its ratification

Demands Made by the Former ON the
Latter That May Provoke Japan.
LONDON, March 31-The Times has the
following from Seoul. capital OF Korea:
IN Pavloff. the Russian minister. recently
demanded from Korea the cession Of
coaling station to a Russian steamship
company at Atkinson Point. commanding
Masampa harbor. and to prevent counter
claim by Japan OF the neighboring area he
demanded that Korea should not ALLEVIATE
in any form any portion of Kojedo island
to any other power. Yesterday, at al i'm
perial audience, for reasons not given but
surmised, M. Pavlof modified his original
demand. asking. instead Of Atkinson Point,
another site within the treaty limits Of
Masampa. This demand is unobjectionable.
AT the same time. however, he insisted on
the nonalienation OF Kojedo. His action
indicates that Russs<sc' aims the reversion
Of this island. which Is of high strategical
value as commanding the Korean straits,
and it is bound to provoke Japanese oppo-
sition.'

a Chain of kopjes.

BLOEMFONTEIN, March S0.-The at
tack on the Beers holding the kopjes near
the Karee siding station, few miles south
of Brandfont. was made by fuckers
Seventh Division with the cooperation Of
French's cavalry. The attacking troops in
cluded a large force of Australians. Col.
Knight. with 400 New South Wales mounted
infantry. included in lie Gallaiss's brigade,
attacked the right flank.
A long chain of kopjes was held by the
Beers and there was severe firing all along
the line OF attack. The approach was very
steep. like a fortress, and the troops Were
unable to make headway until the infantry
made an attack on the front. The cavalry
went round the right flank of the Beers
and used their Vickers-Maxim freely
An army hospital was established in a
cottage under the shelter of a large kopje.
The Boer shells came right over the kopjes
and landed near the hospital, which 1t was
found necessary to evacuate.
The Beers slowly retreated upon Brand
fort. taking their dead and wounded with
them. Meanwhile the cavalry, including
the Australian horse and the Sydney Lam
GERS. under Captain Cox, brigaded with
Porters brigade. the Carbineers, Scots
Grays and the Inniskillings received a Sc
we're shell FIRE. The Beers had evidently
marked the range, as when the troops ad-
vanced the enemy's fire was less accurate
The colonials displayed great GOODNESS un-
Ger IRE. Many horses were killed in the
cavalry's flank attack.
The Beers fed and air our troops pushed
forward and now hold an excellent posi-
tion upon the large kopjes recently held by
the Beers.
The farmers are in the laager lighting
leaving the women and children upon the
farms. which they are confident the En-
giish will not touch. Many of these farm
ers would surrender their arms but for the
fear that the johannesburg police would
attack their farms in revenge for their do
ing so.
The Beers are known to hold Brandfort
IN some strength-probably 5000. Rein
forcements are afraid 10 move direct to
their support, and are content with holding
their position. which is threatened by the
cavalry advance.
The whole action was rather insignificant
Many regiments received their baptism of
fire and showed splendid coolness.
Mr.. Rudyard Kipling was present during
the fight.

The scene was very dramatic. After the

that Signor Colombo would not preside.

left. Signor Colombo sat impassive In the
presidential chair. with his hand resting
on his hip and looking fixedly at the Left
lists, some of whom began to throw paper
pellets at him. Several of these fell short
and struck the occupants Of the minister

BILE to calm the uproar. The Rightists then
rose and cried: "viva Colombor' The ma

CAUSED MERRIMENT.
Senators Seemed to Enjoy the Ala
bamian's Alleged Humor.


Associated Press Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, March 3o.-Merriment
swept away the traditional dignity Of the
Senate to-day. Staid sticl<lers for senator

have been futile. Senator Pettus. OF Alabama
the oldest member OF the body-his age

but not bitter; and even those who were
the victims OF il could not but enjoy it's
perfect good humor and its unalloyed fun.
Throughout IL all Mr.. Pettus was as
solemn as If he were delivering a funeral
grafton. Not q smile softened the deep lines
of his strong and rugged countenance and.
as he stopped occasionally 10 mop the per-
spiration from his face and head with big
silk bandana, he glanced about the Senate
as IL in surprise at the laughter OF his
colleagues. Indeed, he apologized once for
addressing the Senate on so important q
question as the Porto Rican bill.
Mr. Proctor had delivered forceful ar
gument in support OF free trade with the
island OF Porto Rico. His speech was list
ened to attentiyely by senators on both
sides of the chamber and at it's conclus-
ion he was congratulated even by some
senator's who did not agree with him.
He was followed by Mr.. Pettus. who de-
voted the first part of his remarks TO the
constitutional phases OF the subject. Then
quite Unexpectedly came the fun, as he
sharpened his wit at the expense of Mr..
Gallinger. of New Hampshire. and Mr..
Beveridge, of Indiana 'It was a gem" said
one senator. commenting on Mr.. Pettus's
speech, land will long stand as one OF the
best examples of senatorial fun making
Senator Depew. OF New York. was the
first to congratulate Mr.. Pettus. and the
New Workers hearty hand clasp was fol-
lowed by such an ovation as a man seldom
receives in the Senate. Former Senatoe
Pugh. Mr.. Pettuss immediate predecessor
from Alabama. was one OF those who par
ticularly enjoyed the speech. During tho
entire session Mr.. Pettus received the con-
gratulations of his colleagues.
Considerable progress was made with the
Porto Rican measure during the day. most
of the committee amendments and several
offered by senators being disposed OF.

THE CHINESE TROUBLE.


cussed In the Commons.
LONDON, March 30.-The parliamentary
secretary of the Foreign Office. Mr.. Brod-
erick, replying in the House of Commons
to-day to q question on the subject, con-
firmed the reports that disturbances had
occurred in the neigbhorEool of Tien-Tsin,
saying they were apparently caused by the
secret societies. He added that the for
eign representatives had called on China
to remedy the matter. The governor of the
province in which the disturbances had oc-
CURED had been recalled and a new gov
ernor had been appointed. The under Sec
retary also said that two British warships
had gone to Taku to protect British lives
and property.

Great Britain had failed to uphold British
commercial and political interests In China
and demanded a more vigorous and definite
policy IL IL was proposed to meet Russia's
energetic progress. Mr.. Walton, In the
course of his remarks, congratulated
American statesmanship on the signal
triumph of American diplomacy, saying
Great Britain's commercial community
owed a debt of gratitude to American
craftsmanship. which had, by the arrange
ment arrived at, secured equal opportunity
for British trade with their own through
out China. and he said he thought the time
favorable for the cooperation Of the pow
ers.
Mr.. Broderick denied the government had
been backward in pushing concessions in
China. He said 1t should be borne In mind
that Great Britain could not force con-
cessions. AS to the suggestion of co-opera-
tion on the part of the powers I'm securing
wide administrative reforms In China, Mr..
BroGerick pointed out that this would mean
an assumption OF the government OF China.
He declared that thus far British trade
