DIRECTED AGAINST AMERICA.
Saturday Reviews Opinion of the Ex'
 pansion of the German Navy.

Saturday Reviews Opinion of the Ex-
 pansion of the German Navy.
 London, April 26.-The Saturday Re- view will say tomorrow that the ex- pansion of the German navy is more in preparation for a contest with the, Unit ed States than with Great Britain, be- cause the readiest causes for future na- val conflicts will be found in the strug- gle for the partition or the exploitation of the great South American continents.
 The Review devotes page to de- ecription of the resources of South America and Germany's hundreds of thousands of settlers in Brazil and Chil and the Inability of Germany to pursue her designs in South America without a conflict with the United States.
 The article concludes with the state ment that 1t would not be good policy for Great Britain to oppose Germany's legitimate aims and tthat an alliance with the United States having for it's purpose the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine, would not only be ludicrously in opposition to our own interests but it would rightly arouse every other na- tion to death struggle against a genu- inc Anglo-SaXon menace"

His head was torn from his body by the rope and the headless trunk pitched forward to- ward the spectators, the blood spatter- ing upon those nearest the scaffold.
 The execution took place inside a stockade built for the occasion. One hundred and fifty people saw the exe- cution. Ketchum mounted the scaffold at 117 p. m., his face was pale, but he showed no fear priest stood at his side as the rope was being adjusted for the condemned man had consented to spiritual attendance at the last mo- ment. Ketchum declined to make a speech He muttered Good bye" then said, "Please dig my grave very deep" and as the cap was drawn over his face he shouted "Let her go."
 Ketchum spent the greater part of the morning in reviewing his past life, during which he had displayed perfect control of himself, frequently referring to his momentarily expected death in violent manner.
 He cursed the railroad and express companies and the officers who were instrumental in his conviction, the peo- pie in New Mexico in general and their laws. He acknowledged that he pan- ned and led his gang in many robbcries accredited to him, including the robbery on the Southern Pacific railroad at Steen's Pass in 1897 and that on the Colorado Southern, near Folsom, in July, 1898.
 Ketchum said that Frank Herington the conductor who shot him, causing him to lose his right arm; r., c Fort, a Wells-Fargo attorney, and W. H: Reno the Colorado Southern railroad detec tive who effected his capture, will be killed within a year. ''I smuggled a letter out of the prison at Santa Fe, said he, land those three men are marked

Travis Narrowly Defeats Carpenter
 Findiny s. DougIas' Match.

New York, April 26.-Beautiful wealth. CT marked the second day of the Lake wood Golf clubs open tournament. The
 play to-day consisted of the first and
 second rounds, at eighteen holes match
 play, between the forty-eight players
 who qualified yesterday for the three
 divisions of sixteen each. The feature
 of the play in the first round was the
 match between Walter J. Travis, the
 metropolitan and national champion,
 and A. Sidney Carpenter, of Philadel- phia. Travis seemed little stiff as compared with his form of yesterday, and at one time the Philadelphian had the champion two down. Travis was equal to the occasion, however, and won by the narrow margin of one up. The score was: Travis SS, Carpenter S9.
 In the morning Findlay S. Douglass, of Nassau, outplayed c. M. Hamilton, of Balsutrol. and won by 8 up and to play Another close match was be- tween w. H. Davis, a local player, and c. B.

Small Mnjorities on Votes in the House
 of Commons.

of Commons.
 London, April 27-The unstable char acter of the government majority re- ceived a pointed illustration last even ing in the House of Commons during the discussion on money votes. Num- erous divisions were taken in a thinned house, the government majolities rang ing from 40 to 60. In one case, that of the reduction of the salary of the at- torney general, the government majori- ty fell as low as 33. At this the liberals cheered jubilantly for although, as Her. bert Gladstone, the chief liberal whip, said in a speech at Leeds tonight: "The government presented all the symptoms of senile decay, but it was impossible to think of another general election of alternative move" The lib- erals are pleased to see so speedy re- suit of the governments war and finan- cial policy. The nationalists were greatly disappointed at the outcome because when this particular division was taken twenty-one of their members were absent.
 It was evident that unless the govern ment is really riding for a fall, their whips need constantly to be alert in or der to prevent an unpleasant surprise
 The incident caused much annoyance to the government, especially as it is understood that an urgent whip was sent to conservative members to be in attendance in anticipation of the votes. It is believed that several conservatives purposely abstained from voting, there being considerable feeling against the extravagant sums now paid to the law officers of the crown.

THE E.4STM -1N TIIAL.
Testimony That tho Accused and Gro
 gan Often Practiced Shooting,

Cambridge, Mass, April 26.-Several score of spectators, mostly women, had very little to interest them at the trial of Charles Eastman, the Harvard in structor charged with the murder of his brother-in-l law, Richard Grogan jr to-day. The government produced six or eight more witnesses. only three of whom could shed any light on the affair, while not one could show any motive on Eastman's part. A young employe of the Clark factory told the jury how he marked out the positions of the several revolvers, but said that Eastman and Grogan often practiced shooting in company, and that East man had invited him to participate in the target practice on the fatal day.
