alleged that Collins wanted his fathers s life insurance to marry Miss Francis Babcock, a society belle of Lawrence. The chief witnesses for the state were Johnson Jordan and Jessie Harper, ne- groes, who swore that Collins had em- ployed them to kill his father; that they failed to carry out their con- tract, and that he committed the deed himself. The career of these two ne groes since the trial has been such as to cast discredit on the nJselves and their testimony and it is upon this fact that friends of the condemned man base their hopes of obtaining his freedom.

AMERICAN TURF CONGRESS
Its Perpetuity Depends on Result of
 Yesterdays Meeting.

Chicago. Dec. 2S.-A disruption of the American turf congress, at present the governing body in racing affairs in the west, is threatened unless the spec ial meeting in session here today sue cee5s in arriving at an amicable ad- justment of the matters in dispute. At it's annual meeting in Chicago last September the turf congress drew up a schedule of dates for the coming sea- son that favored the Louisville, Mem phis and other southern raoing clubs at the expense of the Chicago and St. Louis tracks. so the latter alleges. To reapportion the time so as to satisfy all and displease none is the difficult task now confronting the turf con- gress. In the event of failure it is not improbable that he southern tracks may withdraw and form Q new associ- ation, ol. else the local clubs may run along until the natural ytorlling of the turf congress rule outlaws them. Eff forts at cancellation are being made, however, and if the counsel of prOmi- nent and influential members of the organization is followed mutual con- sessions will be made and the differ ences patched up so as to prevent dis ruption.

CHASED DESERT GAME
A Roundup eff Coyotes and Jack Rab-
 bits Near Scottsdale.

Over a large stretch of desert lying south Of Scottsdale, yesterday, was held one of the most interesting hunts ever seen in this vicinity. Early in the day a crowd of young men from Mesa, Tempe and Scottsdale gathered at the latter place and started out on a coyote roundup. Several hours later they gathered in five or six of the sneak-thieves of the desert and slaugh- tered them. In the afternoon one hun dred and fifty Pima Indians from the Salt River reservation came over and joined the white hunters. The balance of the day was spent in the chase of jackrabbits and about 100 were run to earth. Some of them the Indians ran down on their ponies, and then killed with bows and arrows, while some were cornered, when tired from miles of hard running, and then were run down by the nimble Indians on foot. There was a great rabbit feast on the reservation last night.

Berlin, Dec. 2S.-The Frankfurter Zeitung publishes a letter from Copen- hagen in which the writer says Ger many intends buying the island of St. John for coaling station if Denmark s negotiations with the United States should miscarry. A representative of the Associated Press showed the for eign office the letter referred to. In reply, the official said Germany had never even remotely thought oe ac- quiring a West Indian island. He add ed, that she recognized that the United States would have as just ground for objections thereto as Germany would have if she heard the United States was negotiating with Denmark for the purchase of the island of Bornholm.

HOPE FOR JOHN COLLINS
An Effort Will Be Made to Obtain a
 ParCon for Him.

Kas., Dec. 2S.-According to rumors current in Topeka an effort is about to be made to obtain a pardon for John Collins, the young Topeka man convicted in 1898 of the murder of his father and since that time con fined in the Laavenworth penitentiary under sentence of death. Collins is a young man of good family and was a student at the Kansas state university. At the time of trial his case attracted the attention of the entire country
 The elder Collins was mysteriously murdered in his own home in this city on the morning of May 13, 1898. He died almost instantly from the effects of two gunshOt wounds inflicted with his own shotgun as he slept in his bed. On June 9, 1898, John Henry Collins, his son, was arrested charged with the crime of patricide. The trial, which began November 2S, resulted in convic- ton and the death sentence. It was

 Cincinnati, O., Dec. 2S.-Sena:Or J. R Foraker has made reply to the recent speech at Ann Arbor. Mich. of FormerI President Benjamin Harrison, in which MT. Harrison criticized the Porto Rican policy of the government, characteriz- ing it as departure from correct prin- ciples. In a speech before the manu- facturer's club of this city. last night. Senator Foraker said on this point:
 All the questions arising upon Porto Ric9n legislation are soon to be pasesdl upon by the supreme court. For thad reason, I do not care to discuss them aul this time, but it is in order to say thatI the view taken by congress, as reflect ed by that legislation, was creditableI to generosity, patriotism and the indus trial spirit of the American people Wa found Porto Rico as poor as povertyj could make her. She had no money. no credit, no system of taxation of any kind. She wanted civil government and revenue to support it. We gave her a far more liberal civil government than was ever given to any territory prior to the civil war. so far as participation in it by her people is concerned. and we dealt by her more generously in providing support for that government than we have ever yet dealt with any territory.
 Tn requiring her to pay tariff duties on imports from foreign countries we did only what we did with Louisiana. Florida, California and all our other territories; but in allowing her to put these duties. when collected. into he'd onw treasury for the support of - local government. We did what - never done before for anybody else. for in other cases, We have not only re- quired payment of these duties, but We have also required them when collected to be paid into the national treasury at Washington for the benefit of the whole country. As to duties on com merce between Porto Rico and the United States, we did not levy fifteen per cent, but we remitted eighty-five per cent Of the existing rates on a num- Der of articles and the whole duty on all the rest and provided that the fif- teen per cent should be remitted on or after March 1st, 1902, or sooner, if the legislature of Porto Rico shall so pro vide, and that in the meanwhile all collections of this fifteen per cent. both there and In the United States shall be paid over to Porto Rico for her own support.
 ''We have made this provision be- cause it was the easiest and least bur densome way possible to raise the in dispensable revenue for their govern ment, and because it was not in any sense a benefit to either our govern ment or our people,

ARRIVAL OF MR. DAVIS
Prospecting For Bed Rock Will
 Begin at Once.

| MT. Arthur P. Davis, hydrographer of
 the United States geological survey. ar rived here yesterday morning on the train from the north and is registered at the Hotel Adams. His coming has | been so frequently referred to of late that it is unnecessary to go into de- | tails as to his mission. which is to in augurate the work of exploring for bed rock on the various dam sites in the
 valley and the compilation of other Gata relating to the water supply.
 He said last evening that he expected
 to leave this morning for the Verde | with MT. Hamilton. who came here a
 day or two ago from Los Angeles. Mir. Heisler. who arrived two or three weeks ago. has made the necessary ar engagements for the initial camps and
 no time will be lost in getting the work started. Other members of the corps
 are expected daily.
 The first work contemplated is the thorough and exhaustive exploration of
 the Verde basin. including tha lower
 dam site just above the Arizona canal
 head and the possible sites above. The
 matter Of water supply will be care
 fully considered and all details in con-
 nection with a storage enterprise. The
 machinery shipped from San Carlos is
 here and more is en route from Los Angeles.
 MT. Davis will only be here a week
 this time, as it is urgent that after that
 he spend a month in Washington com pleting his report on the isthmian canal enterprises and in consultation with the cana! commissioners. He will re- turn here in February or March to view the work accomplished and to fur
 thar direct it. IL is quite possible that before his labors here are completed he will examine also the Hudson and Tonto reservoir sites, though at pres ent. the work will be entirely within the Verde basin.
 MT. Davis is a great friend of Ari- zona and has given much time and study to the irrigation possibilities of this region. He is in reality a nioneer Arizonian, as his first independent work in the line of his profession was per formed in northern and eastern Ari- zona seventeen years ago. He talks | very entertainingly of the Nicaragua l and Panama canal routes and of life | in the tropics He has prepared an ar | ticle for the January Forum on the | canal question, which will no doubt be ! of great interest to all Americans. The l climate of the tropics. he says, is not | particularly disagreeable except in the | swampy country and many places it is exceedingly healthful for those who take care of themselves and let liquor alone. He did not have a single sick day during the two years he spent there on his two visits. Speaking of the building of the canals, he says. there are many Americans who have been there from twenty to fifty years waiting for the big enterprise to ma terialize and expecting to make their fortunes when the work was finally begun in earnest. The Nicaragua route, though the most expensive. he. ! lays, Is for manX reasons, the JlIisi6

AN AWFUL CASUALTY.

terrible accident took place near Taunton. The breakwatsr at Watchett harbor yielded to the force of the ga a and became wreck, permitting the tremendous sea to have full play against the shipping in the harbor Several vessels broke adrift: two foundered and fivG others were driven into a hopeless tan.le in a corner ba- tween the pier and a wharf, where they lay grinding each other. Their masts and bulwarks speedily went and their hulls were greatly battered. The damage will reach many thousands # pounds. The Austrian bark Capricorn was driven ashore near Rude, Corn wall. Nine of her crew were drowned, one was saved and four are still on board, with little likelihood of being rescued, as they are unable to avail themselves of the rocket appara JUS. Tw) other vessels are ashore on the Cornwall coast. Several were stove In at Irfracombe harbOr. The bark Pag- na was wrecked off Trevine. near Cardiff, three of her crew being drowned and nine others being rescued by rocket lines. H. M. s. Black Prince. at Queenstown, and II. M. S. Tea.spr, at Portsmouth, were both badly damaged.
 Wales appears to have suffered the worst effect of the gale both on lanI and sea, and everywhere the telegraph l lines are much disorganized and re. \ports are therefore incomplete.
 Some time before she struck, the
 rimrose Hill dropped her anchors,
 ut mountainous seas were running.
 sooner had the ill fa,ed ship touched
 rocks than three after masts went
 lerboard and she broke in twain, Paving only the foremast standing. Three minutes later this went also. Nhe vessel was soon smashed up.
