tion his attorneys announced that the
plaintiff in rebuttal rested. AS the West
ern Union Telegraph company has no
surrebuttal to offer, the jury in the $4,000
libel case was dismissed until $3.50 this
morning. when counsel will sum up
on the merits, and the court deliver his
charge. In the meantime, the attorneys
spent the last hour of the courts time
arguing in support of their respective re-
quests to charge the jury.
Mr.. Nye told the court and jury how
he spent his time during the~memorable
summer of 1896, and explained the opera
ton and effect of the doubts that
harassed his mind after attending the
turbulent pop convention in St. Louis.
He denied that he went down to St.
Louis with any anticipation of making
the effort of his life" He simply went
there to see what the convention pro-
posed to do and how 1t would do it.
He stopped at the Planters hotel with
his brother, the county attorney of Clay
county, and w. w. Erwin, who occupied
ton had been in session for a While, Mr..
Nye was convinced, he said, that the
spirit that possessed 1t BODIED Ill for the
country.
So Mr. Nye, as he testified, came back
to Minneapolis depressed and disturbed.
Ills conscience told him the safe thing
TO do was to halt, to stop where he was
That plank in the Chicago convention de-
nouncing the federal courts, as we'll as
certain other utterances of that docu-
ment, struck him as having an an
archistic flavor and he couldn't stand for
them.
Mr.. Nye then recounted how, after his
return home, and his determination not
to work any longer against the Republi-
cans, E. S. Corser and John Day Smith
waited upon him. He frankly told them
he was no longer with them, but did
not commit himself as to what his further
course would be. That little conference,
Mr.. Nye admitted, was friendly, but
rather stiff an0 formal"
Finally, along in September Mr.. Nye
thought, the conviction possessed him
that the welfare of the country demanded
the election of Mr. Mckinley, so he de-
cided to work for the Republican party,
to which, he declared, he had always
belonged.
He admitted that he had a conversa-
ton with Charles A. Pilsbury about
compensation for stumping for the party
and that he had remarked that he eX-
pected to be paid a reasonable sum for
any political speeches made outside Of
Hennepin county. To this Mr.. Pillsbury
acquiesced-on behalf Of the committee.
The committee, Mr.. Nye said, agreed to
give him s25 night, but actually paid
him $40 night, so that he received in all
not to exceed $500 for speaking in Wis
consin, South Dakota and Minnesota, In
addition to his $500 a month salary as
county attorney.

SALISBURY ANSWERED.
Reply OF State Secretary Reitz, OF
the TransvaaI Republic.

PRETORIA, Wednesday, March IA
State Secretary Reitz's REPUTATION Of
Lord Salisbury's arguments in the reply
to the Bloemfontein joint note was is
sued today. Mr.. Reitz says:
The British government, after the
Bloemfontein conference, endeavored to
enforce by threats certain changes in the
internal government of the Transvaal
Republic, contrary to the London conven-
ton: They also imported troops in great
numbers and broke off negotiations with
a threat to take their own means to re-
move the grievances of their subjects
After waiting a fortnight, while an
| army corps was prepared and the re-
serves were being called out by the Brit
ish President Steyn asked the reason of
these proceedings. Sir Alfred Miner
refused to reply.
Meanwhile Mr.. Chamberlain, in his
speeches, showed the world that Eng
land had decided on war Accordingly
the Transvaal Republic addressed to the
British government a demand for the
withdrawal of their troops, as otherwise
1t would accept the presence of the
troops as a declaration of war. That
was not necessarily intended as a mes
sage of war"
Concerning the ornaments, Mr. Reltz
says:
These were bought openly in England
and in Europe, and the high commission
er boosted full knowledge of them at the
Bloemfontein conference and also full
descriptions of those ornaments were
found among the officers papers at Dun
dee.
Both the army and the ultimatum
were protective measures, subsequent to
the raid and to the discovery through
concealed cables, that British cabinet
ministers were implicated in the attempt
to fitch away the independence of the re-
public. Now all doubt is removed by
Lord Salisburys telegram. The burgh-
ers must fight for their national exist
ence trusting that God will defend the
right"
LONDON, March 16.-The Pretoria cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, telegraph
ing Wednesday, says:
''Mr. ReitZ's statement has been pub
lshed throughout the republic, but will
not be forwarded to Lord Salisbury.

that while she is of a loving disposition,
that when she attempted to caress him
he would brutally push her 10 one side
and swear at her. all of which has caus-
