EVIDENCE IN Nicely CASE.
Over 1000 TyDewrltten Pages Al
ready PRONUNCIATION the Trial
Will BE Conducted.


Havana, Feb. 12.-The testimony already
submitted on behalf OF the government
in the case against c. f. W. Nicely, the
alleged postoffice embezzler, covers more
than 1900 typewriter pages. This repre-
sents, however, only a portion of the
whole evidence to be presented, and wit
nesses are being examined daily.
Architects are drawing up plans of the
postofice vault, fire room and e,ectrozone
plant, which are expected to have an i'm
portant bearing on the stamp burning in
cident. Nicely was asked to accompany
some witnesses to the postoffice, but on
the advice of his counsel, he declined to
do so.
The government will submit all its evil
dence to the judge Of the lower court and
it will be open for inspection by the coun-
sci for the defense Nicely viii be given an
,pportunity to combat the charges and
20 file testimony. The cases then will go
to the Audencia for public trial, where
The decision will be final so far as the
facts of the case are concerned. An APP
peal may be taken to the Supreme Court
Oh the question of sentence.
The fiscal, who is preparing the testi-
mony, says that the examination of wit
nesses and the translating of their testi-
mony will take considerable time and
that he is unable to predict when the
work will be completed.
The National Bank of Cuba has been

The officers are residents of Havana and

PREPARING FOR THE FIGHT.
Over $4,000 Taken in-An Depends
on Judge HOLSTERS Decision
and Gov Nash.


Cincinnati, Feb 12-The preparations
for the contest between Jeffries and RUN
lin and between Martin and Childs have
proceeded here to-day, the same as usual,
and the promoters expect the events to
take place on time next Friday night.
Over $1,000 was taken in for tickets to-
day, making an aggregate of over $4,000
to date. II the application for an injunc-
ton is refused on Thursday morning the
promoters expect orders to be numerous
that day and on Friday.
While there has been much talk about
postponing the contest no action has been
taken in that direction, and none will
be taken before Thursday afternoon.
If Judge HOLSTER issues the injunction
against the contest the attorneys for the
promoters say they will then appeal the
case to a higher court and thence to the
Supreme Court. In that event there is no
doubt about the directors of the Saen-
gerfest Athletic Association meeting on
Thursday afternoon with Managers Bra
dy, Madden and others, and postponing
the date for the contest for two or three
weeks so as to give time for the case to
be carried to the court of last resort
Meantime there is much comment over
the active preparations Nof Gov. Nash IN
having two or three regiments OF militia
awaiting orders to go 10 Cincinnati.
The consensus of opinion Is that Judge
HOLSTER will assume jurisdiction and
giant a permanent injunction. This will
mean a postponement as will give time
for hearings in the circuit and the Su-
preme Courts.

SENATOR CLAY'S SUCCESS.
Succeeded in Keeping in All the
Georgia i'm River and HarbOr,
and Adding Few.

Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Clay,
who has been working very industriously
in the Committee of Commerce and then
on Postofices during the past few days,
has come off with flying colors in all of
the matters bearing directly upon Geor-
gia.
In the Postoffice Committee the appro-
priation for special mail facilities for the
South was successfully carried through
Just as it passed the House. There is some
talk of a fight against the appropria-
ton by Senator Butler of North Caro-
lima and a few others, but the probabi ity
is that there will be little, if any, con-
test, now that the committee has rendered
a favorable report upon the item.
In the Committee on Commerce, Senator
Clay carried through successfully all of
the items in the river and harbor bill,
providing for improvement of the Georgia
rivers, just as they passed the House,
and secured a $1,000 increase for the Oco-
nee and the appropriation of $4,000 for
that portion of the Coosa river in Geor-
gia.
He has also been successful in securing
a favorable report upon the item as APP
propriating $4,000 for the compensation
of Col. Goodyear of Brunswick for addi-
tional depths and width secured by him on
the Brunswick outer bar. The House
Committee on Rivers and Harbors report
ed in favor of this appropriation, but did
not place it on the river and harbor bill.
There is little doubt, however, that, now
IL is on the river and harbor BILL where it
belongs, the House eonferees will approve
of 1t. and it will remain. The action of
the Senate committee was unanimous.

colored element of the party, who had
captured the organization. Since the cleo
zion the white Republicans have been
exceedingly active, and have enlisted a
very large number of prominent citizens
in the club, which was organized last sum-
mer. This club was named Mckinley and
Roosevelt White Republican Club. but at
an enthusiastic meeting, which was large
~ attended, last night the name was
changed to the White Republican Club or

Washington. Fec. 12.-During the en-
tire session of the Senate to-day the
agricultural appropriation bill was under
consideration. After six hours of consid-
GRAFTON the bill was little more than half
completed The debate upon the measure
dealt almost entirely with administrative
details of the Department of Agriculture,
many concentrations of the work of the
department being made by senators on
both sides of the Senate.
bill was passed appointing a commits
sion, consisting of the president of the
Society of the Army of Tennessee, the
chairman of the Joint Committee on Lii
orary and the Secretary of War, to Sc
lect site in the city of Washington, and
have designs prepared for memorial or
statue of Gen. L. S. Grant, the cost of
which shall not exceed $250.O0O.
The agricultural appropriation bin was
called up. 1t carries $4,5O3,920 the in
crease proposed by the Senate Committee
being $15S,S20.
At the conclusion Of the formal read
ing of the bill. Mr.. Spooner, from the
Committee ON Rules, presented an order
which was adopted, providing that the
senate at 1850 p. m, tomorrow, We'd
nesday, Feb 1S. proceed to the hall of
the House of Representative to partici
pate in the count of the vote cast for
President and Vice President of the Unit
ed States at the last general election.
At the end of the morning hour the I'M
finished business-the ship subsidy bill
swas laid before the Senate. Mr.. Proctor
asked that the subsidy bill be laid aside
informally.
Mr.. Jones of Arkansas objected. On
motion of Mr.. Proctor, the Senate then,
without division, decided to proceed with
the agricultural bill.
Some discussion was precipitated over
the section of the bill relating to meat
inspection. Mr.. Jones of Arkansas CON
tended that all the meat products export
ed ought to be carefully inspected and
branded in order that the countries 10
which the products were sent might be
assured of their genuineness.
Mr.. Pettigrew called attention to the
paragraph providing that live horses and
the products and carcasses thereof be
entitled to the same inspection as other
animals, carcasses and products thereof"
and inquired if the United States was
packing and shipping abroad horse meat.
Mr. Money, a member of the Commit
tee on Agriculture. replied that horse
meat was being shipped abroad to the
Scandinavian countries. Epicures of those
countries, he said, regarded horse meat
as deicacy-quite as much of a deli
cacy as smoked reindeer meat, which it
closely resembled in appearance and taste.
Mr.. Proctor replied that the Secretary
of Agriculture had explained that those
who received it understood perfectly what
they were getting.
Without completing the bill, the Sen
ate at 500 p. m, adjourned
