FOR THE DEFENSE.
Opening Statement by Attorney for
ListOn ID. Bass.

The Introduction Of testimony for the
defendant was begun today In Criminal
Court No. in the case of Rev. Liston d.
Bass, on trial under indictments alleging
violation of section $3.50 of the Revised
Statutes of the United States-using the
mails for fraudulent purposes.
In an explanatory address to the jury At
torney Douglass of counsel for Bass stated
that the latter Is on trial for alleged viola
ton of an act of Congress, and not for false
pretenses. The Union Teachers Agency
and the Bureau of Civil Service Examina-
ton. counsel asserted, were honest and
lawful concerns. conducted by Mr.. Bass on
business principles, his intention being to
give full value for all money received.
The vital point in the case, so Attorney
Douglass informed the jury, is whether
the sending of the literature that figures in
the case by Mr.. Bass constituted misuse
Of the mails. The claim was made by the
attorney that certain of the testimony in
behalf of the United States tended to show
that no misuse of the mails had occurred
VIM G. Bonsai. Miss Margaret w. Dam
iels and 2. Mabel Rollins were among the
witnesses who appeared for the defendant
during the day. -. s

The proposals for the civ! list show net

Mr.. Labouchere the sole sienatory Of the

necessary. In a piquant paragraph he says
The committee did not deem it within

assembled the throne. This idea seems E.,
be due to the present ostentatious eypen-
diture of some of those who have suddenly
acquired large fortunes. But your COM
mittee does not believe the sovereign would
desire to enter into monetary competition
with such persons or encourage by his ex-
ample such vainglorious prodigality on the
part Of his subjects. 49,.

Boers and Insult Lord Car
rington In Lisbon.

LONDON, April 4.-The British casual
ties in South Africa continue high. The to-
tails for the month Of March are: Killed 8
officers and 103 men: wounded, IS officers
and go men.
Dispat ches received here from Paris re-
iterate the stories of affronts to Lord Car
rington and his suite while returning from
Lisbon, after formally announcing King
Edwards accession to King Charles of
Portugal. 1t seems that the train on which
the mission Travelled conveyed number
Of nurses returning from the Boer army.
The result, says dispatch to the Elk
change Telegraph Company from Paris,
was that at every station there were vio-
lent anti-British scenes. Lord Darlington
and his suite were openly insulted. while
the nurses were greeted with loud cheers
The situation became SO intoierable that
the British mission finally changed trains.

last night, as she was feeling her way
out from Providence. but 1t was several
hours before the news was received in this

proceeding at slow speed, but after several
trials with reversed engines the efforts
were discontinued and two of the steamers
officers started in small boat for War
wick Neck light house on the west shore
Of the bay, whence they communicated
with the city by telephone.
As soon as possible two of the Providence
Towboat Company's tugs were dispatched
to the island. The Providence, Fail River
and Newport line also sent the Bay Queen
from Newport to take off the passengers
and to render any other service possible.
The tugs took positions on either :sside of
the Chaplin. and for several hours they.
strained and pulled on the stranded craft
In an effort to move her. All efforts were
fruitless. When 1t was seen that the steamer
would be delayed for some time, the pas
