MIR. sovereign's Tes,'mony- Believes
standard oil Company owns
Bunker Hill Nine.

Washington, March 9.-The cross-ex-
animation Of james r. Sovereign was
continued today In the Couer dAlene
investigation before the House commit
tee on military affairs.
Representative Dick took the witness
over his statements regarding martial
law and the course Of the war depart
ment, with view TO showing that II
was the State authorities and not the
federal government who declared and
enforced martial law
Mr.. Sovereign said that reading OF
the official telegrams satisfied him that
the war department declared martial
law. as the military kilograms ante
dated the governors proclamation BY
one day. When asked II the military
were there for any other purpose than
10 maintain peace and order, the Wit
ness answered that he believed this
was not their purpose, as their presence
tended 10 terrorize the people, substi-
tuting military dlctation for the usual
civil methods, No one ever heard OF
law UtAAiN ~ f'NFt
Mir. Sovereign declared. AS 10 his APP
prevail OF the use Of the military at the
Chicago strike. he said this was limited
10 the use OF the military for maintain
ing order.
Mr.. Sovereign staed he understood the
Bunker HUI mine was owned by the
standard oil company but this had
been denied in testimony before the in
dustrial commission. although the Wit
ness believed from kilograms developed
in this case, that this ownership exist
ed.
He was also questioned as TO the in
fluenoe Of certain lead interests IN the
Occur d'Alene district. In that connec-
ton he said a mine official had told him
several OF the lead interests had sought
10 combine on $50 900 600 capitalization
but the New York capitalists would not
consider the matter unless the capital
ization was Sl7S0000O0
Representative Sulzer remarked that
this means Si4s00O,0O0 Of water. and
Chairman Hull added that II was val

you will look solely 10 the evidence and
you viii be governed by the law given
by the court, and II either, you VIII be
led to a verdict OF not guilty just as
directly as the needle points toward the
pole star II Is utterly impossible TO
convict the man II you follow the evil
dence."
There was a great stir all over the
court room when Judge Powers retired,
and Senator Brown advanced to the
Jury box to make the last argument in
the case.
The senator only had time 10 make
some remarks by way OF preface when
an adjournment was taken until $3.50
this morning II was not his purpose,
he said, to abuse the defendant at all,
and the many warnings given by Judge
Powers on that head were unnecessary.
The attorneys for the defense were the
ones who had dealt in abuse. II was
the duty Of the state 10 present this
case TO the jury upon the facts estab-
lished. II was the duty OF the State
to arrest and punish this man, and pro-
tect the community and stop this con-
slant procession Of murder
Senator Brown referred TO the Wit
nesses Hume, Keene, Doolan and Albert
c. Morris, and assumed that they told
the truth about as they knew II, al
though mistaken in regard to some
points.

ANSWERS JUDGE POWERS.
In the Afternoon.

Senator Brown resumed his argument
AZ o'clock. first meeting the statement
advanced by Judge Powers that Ben
brook must be found guilty Of murder
in the first degree OF acquitted. This
proposition be characterized as absurd,
because the charge Of murder in the
first degree laid against the defendant
embraced the lesser degrees and the
Jurors were the ones 10 say what degree
Of crime he was guilty Of
Senator Brown defended Robert On
tario Doolan. the boy who had been
called with so much effect by Judge
Powers
As to the threats made by Morris
towards Benbrook. they amounted TO
no more than the explosion OF a few
oaths. That was the way they I'M
pressed Keene They were simply the
idle talk OF a Jealous man.
The force used 20 repel an assault
must be commensurate with the force
that makes II. An assault with the fist
could not be answered with a pistol
shot. II would be unwarranted and
uniustlfable. Judge Zane had talked
about the field OF honor in Arkansas.

field OF honor, both men were armed.
There was absolutely no reason why
his man should 80 out ana arm him

Afternoon plspatches.l

London. March 9, $40 ,. m.-Late this
afternoon It is learned that the peace
rumors were founded on the fact that
President Kruger has appealed TO Lord
Salisbury for d cessation Of hostllitles
Offering at length by cable the terms
which he is willing to accept. These,
howeyer.are not taken seriously as they
include practically nothing more than
what the Transvaal government offered
prior to the Issuing Of the British ulti-
matum.
Official circles here regard the prop
osltion as merely a ruse Of the Beers
to gain time and DO not consider that
President Kruger is yet ready TO con-
sider the sweeping demands which
Great Britain will make as reimburse
ment for the loss OF life and great eA-
Dendlture,
no MORE REPUBLIC.
It was understood that President
Krugers advances had met with an
emphatic rejection at the hands OF Lord

that no such attempt to retain the In

considered for moment By the Brit

ing that he had devoted much anxious

taking advantage Of the Transvaal war
10 advance through Afghanistan and
India his ligiiness adds.
Il have come 10 the conclusion that
Russia fears Afghanlstan, as war
with the Afghanlstans would mean a
great rising Of all Islam, which would
spread through RussianAsia. Russia
has not troops enough 10 combat such
a rising. Her hold on the Mussnlman
countries she has conquered is Insecure.
They hate her and with ten times her
power Russia could not fight Afghan
lstan and India successfully.
"The Afghans prefer death 10 slavery,
and their women and children are be-
ing taken by the Russians"
After saying he is willing 10 send
numerous troops to help Great Britain
In the Transvaal but adding that the
Afghans are unaccustomed to the sea,
the Ameer adds:
But England's troubles are always
my troubles; her strength Is my
strength, and her weakness Is my
weakness. England must remember
that am always ready to fight for her
on land here or In India"
