THAYER DECIDES FOR REESE
Member of United Mine Workers Execu-

member OF United Mine Workers ExeCu.
tive Board Not In Contempt of Court.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 16-Judge Thayer of
the United States court of appeals, at
Topeka, rendered a decision in the case
of John P. Reese, a member of the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, for con-
tempt of court, ordering his release.
The contention of Reese that the in
junction under which he was impris-
oned for addressing striking miners at
Fort Scott, did not apply to him, was
upheld by Judge Thayer.
Judge Thayer rules that while court
may punish for any act that might be
construed as an objection to the execu-
ton OF the laws, it has no right to i'm
pose a penalty where independent or
individual rights are involved. 1t was
contended by counsel for the defense
that as the injunction did not include
any save those who We're citizens of
Kansas, he could not be held amenable
to it. 1t was chiefly on this point of
non-jjurisdiction that the case was sub
mitted

Wreck Is Still a Mystery.

ST. JOINS, N. r., Jan. 16-The latest
advices destroy many theories concern
ing the wreck in st. Mary's bay and
render it more mysterious than ever.
Owing to the continuance of turbulent
seas it is impossible to land boats. The
bodies and wreclsage are still visible, the
latter increasing as the ship breaks up.
The cruiser Fiona is still at the wreck.
An attempt viii be made to effect a
landing in Sculpin cove, where there
are two bodies and almost an entire
boat. 1t seems highly probable that the
name of the vessel will be learned today.

Mrs katherine j. Adams, the prosecu-
ton yesterday introduced testimony to
show motive for the poisoning Of
Henry Q. Barnet by Molineux. While
Molineux is not on trial for the poisou-
ing OF Barnet it is exceedingly import
ant for the prosecution to connect the
prisoner with Barnet's death as show
ing Molineux's character, his letter
writing habits and his use of cyanide
OF mercury to kill those he hated. The
testimony reflected seriously on the
good name of Mrs. Molineux, but her
husband listened unmoved.

Congressman TO Succeed Settle.

&c
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Spirited de-
pate on the Philippine question occupied
the attention of the senate for nearly
three hours yesterday. Mr.. Berry first
addressed The senate in support of the
resolutions recently introduced by Mr..
Bacon Regarding the disposition of the
Philippines. he was followed by Mr..
Pettlgrew in support of his resolution
of iillairy. i. PeStigrew was very
oitte1 II n stacks apGn the aiminis-
tIaiion. aliQsa who deny freedom to
others, he s.a.ls, cannot long retain it for
themselves Such q p4ioy would be
the destruction of the republic. He en-
tered upon g sharp attack on the treaty
made by the Americans with the sultan
OF sulu, charging that polygamy and
slavery were not only Endorsed, but
maintained by the United States
through the treaty with the sultan. He
declared that the Republican party was
going out Of power as the champion of
slavery and a repudiator of the Declara-
tlon of Independence.
III. WolcOOC TeplleQ TO Nlr. HettlgreW,
scathingly arraigning the South Dakota
senator for the attitude he had assumed
on the Philippine question. He de-
clared his belief that if Aguinaldo him
self occupied the seat in the senate oc-
cupied by Mr.. Pettigrew, representing
the people of South Dakota, who had
sent their sons as soldiers to the Philip
pines, he would be too patriotic, too de-
voted to the interests of the country to
assume the attitude assumed by the
present South Dakota senator. Mr..
Wolcott ladverted also to the speech re-
Gently delivered by Mr. Beveridge,
sharply eritieising it for the spirit of
greed which seemed to animate the
senator in making such deliverance.
At the conclusion of the Philippine
discussion, Mr. Rawlins made an elabo-
rate argument to the senate in opposi-
ton TO the proposed financial legislation.
