HE TR|P WASN'T 4 SUCCESS
Duke and Duchess Will Be Roy-
 ally Received in London.

The War Put a Damper on the Tour in
 Many Places-Fifteen Battleships
 Will Meet the Royal Party and Es-
 cort Them to Portsmouth-King Ed
 ward and Queen Alexandra Will Also
 Be Among Those Who Will Welcome
 the Duke and Duchess.
 London, Oct 29.-Most elaborate plans have been made for the recep- tion of the Duke and Duchess of Corn wall and York at Portsmouth and in London. It is not generally felt thar the tour of the duke and duchess has been success as. on the whole, com paratively little interest has been taken in it, the war and other events having completely oyershadowed the royal journey. Fifteen battleships ana cruisers sail tomorrow to meet the royal yacht Ophir and escort her to Portsmouth.
 Friday evening the whole fleet in the harbor will be illuminated. King Edward and Queen ssAleXandra, with the children of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, and other mem- bers of the royal family, on board the Victoria and Albert, accompanied by a fiotilla of smaller royal yachts. will meet the Ophir in the Channel Friday and escort her into the harbor The royal party will entrain Saturday and reach London at 1 o'clock in the after noon. Here 10000 troops will keep the streets clear for the procession from Victoria station to Marlborough house.
 Newspaper correspondents who were with the ducal party contributed some remarkable letters to their papers here, highly appreciatiye of Canada, but they do not like the glimpse which they got of the United States.
 All the correspondents noted the ex- traordinary difference in the aspect and manners of the people here and across the border. We appeared to have suddenly got out of a region of wholesome, fresh compleXioned people, into land of meagre, pallid race like one sees in some of our manufac- turing cities; an active, brisk people, lacking the courteous manners of the Canadians. To some of the young French Canadians of our party this was their first experience in the United States. and they recrossed the frontier more downright in their expressions or loyalty to Great Britain than they had ever been before.
 There were many things which did not please them in Buffalo, which, it must be admitted. is not fair spec;- men of an American city, but, wha: completely disgusted them was the tone of q section of the Buffalo press, which selected the occasion to insult our royal family and sheer at the loy- alty displayed by the Canadian peo- ple.''

ALL SAY INSANE.
Expert Physicians Called in as
 Witnesses in Hayes Case.
TRIAL TO CONTINUE ALL WEEK
Hayess Bunch of Letters Brought In.

Hayess Bunch of Letters Brought In- to Court This Morning Counsel Had Long Argument About Admit ting Them as Evidence-The Read ing of Them Was Finally Put Over for the Present.
 Litchfeld. Oct 29-Before the open ing of the third week of the John T. Hayes trial. the defense announced that they would probably conclude their side of the case today. As. the state has a large number of witnesses to call in rebuttal. there is little pros- pect that the trial will end before the last of the week. Tn the beginning of the proceedings this morning At torney Roraback produced two large bundles of letters written by Hayes to Miss Cook and asked that they be admitted as evidence without taking up the time to read them He was proceeding to read some of them when the state objected After somewhat of discussion the matter was dropped for the time being.
 Dr Arthur T. Wolfe of Hartford was
  the flrst witness. He was called an insanity expert. He was asked that assuming that the statements ill the hypothetical question put to Dr Har- rington the other day were facts. what would his opinion be regarding the sanity or insanity of the accused. He replied that it was his positive opinion that Hayes was insane. Much of pr Wolfe's testimony was cor roboration of the testimony given by Dr Harrington. He said that they found Hayes overworked. underfed. that he had insufficient sleep and was of very nervous temperament All these things supported the belief that he was insane. The seventy six page letter was filled with insane delusions which was another absolute proof of his insanity.
 Dr Clapp. another insanity expert, followed. and his testimony was simi- lar in many respects to that of the other two experts.

 The rush of the immense current threw the body so hard against the straps that they creaked perceptibly. The hands clinched suddenly and the whole attitude was one Of extreme tenseness. For forty-five seconds the full current was kept on and then slow ly the electrician threw the switch back, reducing the current volt untH it was cut off entirely. Then just as it had reached that point he threw the lever back again for two or three sec ondS. The body. which had collapsed as the current was reduced. stitfened up again against the straps.
 When it was turned off again Dr Macdonald stepped to the chair and put his hand over the heart.
 He said he felt no pulsation, but sug- gested that the current be turned on for q few seconds again. Once more the body became rigid. At :15 the current was turned off for good.

 Durban. Natal, Oct 29.-The imperial authorities have reached the conclusion that the early re-peopling of the Transvaal and Orange River colonies is advisable, so that the normal indus trial and agricultural life of the col onies may be resumed.
 In the course of q speech yesterday, Lord A1ilner of Cape Town said it was useless to wait until the war was over in q formal sense. It might never be oyer, he declared, but it was burning itself out, and in time we ought to show ourselves master in the house we have taken by rebuilding it and begin- ming to live in it''

Not every day does it fall to the lot
of a mar to come In contact with a
live wire charged with 1000 volts and
come off with a whole skin. Such was
the experience of Contractor Michael
Clarke, who lives at 3O17 McCulloch
street. Clarke has the contract for
razing the old court house building.
He was on the ground yesterday morn
ing directing the work of his men.
A large piece of timber was thrown
from the top of the building on the
Chapline street side. It struck the
wire, breaking it down.
The wire was still hanging suspend
ed when Mr.. Clarke arrived, swinging
back and forth in the wind. He walked
close to it, looking up at the building,
and the wire was very near, swinging
towards him before he saw it. Instinct
lively. he raised his hand to ward it
off. The dampness of the ground made
the conditions more favorable for a
severe shock.
The minute his hand came in con-
tact with the wire, he was thrown sew
eral feet away, falling over an old bar
rel which stood on the sidewalk. When
picked up, he was unconscious. He
wa carried into Young's pharmacy,
which is directly across the street, and
medical aid was summoned immediate
ly. At first it was thought he was
dead. Restoratives were applied and
his pulses strengthened considerably
by means of stimulants. When he re-
gained consciousness he was taken to
his home on the South Side in a car
riage.
The doctor stated that he would
probably be confined to his bed for
a week. Last night he was resting
as easily as could be expected, although
still suffering accutely from-the shock.
He was also severely bruised through
his contact with the barrel. The flesh
of the hand, which came in contact
with the wire, while slightly swollen,
was not marked.
Inquiry at the Wheeling Electric,
Company's Office, who owned the wire,
revealed the fact that the wire was
one of the supply circuits charged with
1000 volts. The company stated that
the men working on the building were
very careless, and they really were at
fault. The same wire was broken
twice before in the same way, once
on Friday and once on Saturday.
