to take the oxaiic acid. he then teiephoned
to Patrick to meet him at luncheon at a
restaurant on 9Th avenue near 5Oth street.
II met him there" Jones continued.
Patrick gave me the bottle of chloroform.
He told me to saturate towel in chloro-
form and leave 1t over his face for about
thirty minutes. He said Rice would prob
ably laugh. but that 1 should not be
scared. as that would only show that the
poison was beginning to work and that Il
would soon be over.

home, took a napkin and saturated il with

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
j. VI. Langley Testifies as to Railroad
Rates In the south.

Mr.. ]. NJ. Langley. representing the New
York Merchants Association. was today
before the Industrial commission and testi-
fled concerning railroad rates in the south,
which, he complained. had been raised in
many Instances since January, 1900 The
association represented by Mr.. Langley
has 300 direct members and 1900 asso-
ciate members. Mr. Langley said the CIV
ing Of lower rates on part carloads than
on carloads frequently caused an injustice
to shippers. He recognized the business
reason for making a railroad rate less than
the rate for part carload, but complained
that the difference between these two
classes of transportation was not estab-
lished generally but was fixed differently
under different conditions. He said that
life insurance companies are able to estab-
}ish rates providing for various risks and
contingencies, and he thought railroad
companies should establish regular sys-
tenn of difference in charges which should
guide them, instead of arbitrarily fixing
such rates in each case. He thought the
difference in the cost of hauling carload
and part carload lots of goods was not so
great as provided for in the freight rates
He promised later to furnish the commits
sion evidence to demonstrate the Justice of
his contention.

Census officials I'm Anne Arundel
County Conducting InvestiEatiOn.
Three employees Of the census Office left
Washington this morning for points In
Anne Arundel county. Maryland. to assist
the clerks who left yesterday in investigat-
ing the enumeration returns from that
county. In one of the election districts ad-
jacent to Baltimore the population was re-
turned as 1900. being an increase Of $500
over the census of 1890. In another cleo
tion district, with a total population of
5000, there was an apparent increase of
considerably more than one thousand. The
officials Of the census say that these re-
turns may be correct, but in view of
charges of padding and developments IN
st. Mary's county, the investigation was
determined upon. No charges, it was said
at the census office today, have been made
against the enumeration in Calvert and
Howard counties.
Representative Mudd called at the CEN
sus office yesterday afternoon and had q

THORNTON TRIES AGAIN.
Trial stopped Yesterday by Accident
to Machinery.

Captain Hemphill of the naval trial
beard has telegraphed the Navy Depart
ment from Annapolis that the attempt to
run the torpedo boat Thornton for two
hours over her trial course yesterday was
failure. owing to slight accident to her
machinery.
Captain Hemphill also telegraphed: "Shu-
brick successfully standardized yesterday
VIII have two hours trial of the Thornton
today If the weather permits"
II is inferred from this telegram that the
accident which interrupted the Thornton's
trial yesterday was trivial, else she would
not be ready for trial today. A later dis
patch received at the navigation bureau
stated that the Thornton had gone out
with the Gloucester to the Barren Island
course to make second attempt to COM
plete two hours trial. If she succeeds

MANY DRUNKEN SOLDIERS
Cheap Saloons Established Outside
the PresidiO.

Reports received at the War Department
from the Preside of San Francisco show
that the troops at that post have become
somewhat demoralized by the abolition of
the army canteen. A long line of cheap
saloons has been established outside of the
gates Of the Presidio and they are con-
stantly filled with soldiers from the reser-
vation, who, 1t Is said, go there because
they have no canteen of their own.
There are" says one account, "fve hun
dred soldiers in these saloons, of whom
about four hundred are drunk. They clus-
ter at the wet bars, lie along the benches,
stand in punches on the sidewalk and
some sit on the curbstone, with their feet
in the gutter"
Capt. F. D. Evans of the 18th Infantry
is quoted as having said that the abolition
of the canteen has increased the percent
age OF misconduct among the soldiers sta
toned at the Preside at the rate Of from
2OO to 800 per cent.

FRANCE Is FIRM.

Paris, Aug. 27.-A semi-oficial note
has been issued announcing that the
porte not having carried out its under
takings with regard to the disputed
questions between the French and OF
toman governments, NJ. Constans, the
French ambassador acting under in.
structions from the foreign minister OF
France, left Constantinople. on August
26. Arrangements had been effected
August II, and its terms drafted by
the Ottoman foreign minister. with
the approval OF the sultan, who had
promised Constans that the text
should be handed him ON August rs.
Constans tolegraphed Paris August
10, that none of the promises had been
fulfilled. NJ. Del Casse, minister of
foreign AFFAIRS, on August Il. telc-
graphed Constans that in view of SO
fragrant disregard of undertakings,
negotiations could no longer be con.
tinued and requested Constans to in
form the porte that he had received
orders to leave Constantinople. Aug
ust % Constans communicated with
the porte, fixing August 26 as the date
of his departure. and as the engage
ments were still unkept Constans left
Constantinople on August 20.
With the departure of Constans the
relations between France and Turkey
may be regarded as broken off. Mu
mir Bey, Turkish ambassador to
France, has been telegraphed not to
return to Paris.
