Admiral Schley and Attorney
Rayner were irexpressibly
shocked by the sudden death of
Judge Wilson. He was some
what indisposed Monday, but it
was believed to be merely an at
tack of indigestion. Although
an old man, Judge Wilson was
hale and hearty for his years,
and no serious effects were eX-
pected. AS late as 10 o'clock
yesterday Mr.. Rayner was with
him. and there was no rSason to
fear anything more serious than
a few days illness. Later the
attorney grew worse, and the
physicians who were summoned
pronounced him dangerously i'll.
He died within an hour after
Mr.. Rayner left him.
Judge Wilson Was considered
the leader of the legal array
guarding Admiral Schley's inter-
ests before the court of inquiry.
While Mr.. Rayner has done most
of the talking, Judge Wilson
planned the line of cross-eXamin-
alton and prepared the defense
to be laid before the court later
in the investigation. His death
will handicap the Schley forces
materially.

ma himself is supposed to be in
visible to ordinary mortals. On
great occasions when crowds of
pilgrims flock to the holy CAPT
tol the Dalai Lama. seated on a
throne of gold, ivory and ebony,
on the altar of the temple, is
dimly seen by the faithful
through clouds of incense smoke.
On such occasions the high
priests head is adorned with a
tiara of gold, richly set with dia-
monds and other precious stones.
No pilgrim is supposed to raise
his head to gaze on this sublime
form of the incarnated Buddha.
The pilgrims, on hands and
knees, creep to the base of the
throne IN humble alteration, and
as meekly creep away.
The influence of Russia has
been growing in Tibet of late.
The Russian government is los
ing no opportunity to strengthen
its power in this direction and at
last the Dalai Lama, terrified
with tales of what the British
may do, has been induced to seek
a Russian protectorate. Hence
forth Russia will be all-powerful
in Tibet. Dordjeff deserves well
of his country. He has done adj
mirable work in bringing about
this embassy, which has now ce-
mented the ties between the two
countries and given promise that
the British will still be confined
to their position on the border.
The enormous natural riches OF
Tibet will swell the Russian
Golfers some day and the land
will be a part Of this country.

ASSASSIN CONVICTED

BUFFALO, n. Y, Sept. 25.-
Leon F. Czolgosz, alias Fred
Nieman, was found guilty of
murder in the first degree by a
jury in Part III of the supreme
court, in having. on the 9th day
of September, shot President
William Mckinley, the wounds
inflicted afterwards resulting in
the death of the president.
The wheels of justice moved
swiftly. The trial of the assas-
sin consumed eight hours and 26
minutes and covered a period of
only two days. Practically all
of this time was occupied by the
prosecution in presenting case
so clear, so conclusive that even
had the prisoner entered the plea
of insanity, it is doubtful if the
jury would have returned a ver-
dict different from the one rem.
dered yesterday.
The announcement made yes.
terday afternoon by the attorneys
for Czolgosz that the eminent
alienists summoned by the Erie
county Bar association and by
the district attorney to examine
Czolgosz and to determine his
exact mental condition had de-
clared him to be perfectly
sane, destroyed the only stage of
a defense that Judges Lewis and
Titus could have put together.
Before adjournment the Judge
announced that he would pro-
nounce sentence upon the de.
fendant on Thursday afternoon
at 2 o'clock. The prisoner was
taken at once through the tun-
mel under Delaware avenue back
to the Jail. To all appearances
he was II no way affected by the
result of the trial.
The crowd at the city hall was
the largest which has seen him

AN INCREDIBLE TALE

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 25--Ed
Sastig. who was arrested here
on the charge Of petty larceny,
is believed to be an accomplice
Of Czolgosz. When taken before
Chief of Detectives Desmond he
made confession, IN which he
is said to have given all the de-
tails of the plot to assassinate
President Mckinley. The de.
tails of this confession have not
yet been made public.
In his confession Sastig, it is
stated, implicated Frank Harri-
gan of the Dewey hotel, Phila-
delphia, in the plot. Sastig
says that on the Monday previous
to the assassination of President
Mckinley Harrigan met him and
Emma Goldman in the Michelobe
saloon in this city and arranged
the details of the murder.

This has been decided by the
leaders of the several parties at
a meeting called to read the plat
form, addressed TO Gen. Ruis
Rivera by Senor Palma, in reply
to a request from these parties
for an expression of sentiments
on the various propositions pro-
pounded by the Cuban people.
The greatest questions lnvOlv-
ed were those of a reciprocity
treaty with the United States, a
permanent treaty as prescribed
by the Platt amendment, the
manner of the payment of the
Cuban army for services during
the revolution, the system of
collecting revenues for govern
mental maintenance and the
ownership of the Isle of Pines.

since his arraignment. People
were lined up on both sides of
the big rotunda on the second
floor where court convened, and
fringed the stairs leading from
the floor above. There was no
demonstration except that of Gu
riosity. A large number of
women witnessed the proceed
ings.
At2:44 in the afternoon the dis
trict attorney abruptly announc-
ed that the case of the prosecu-
ton was ended. Judge Lewis
arose slowly and, addressing the
court. said that the sudden close
of the case against Czolgosz was
a surprise to him and his col
leagues. They had no witness
to call for the defense. He asked
the court that he be allowed to
address the jury at once The
court assented and the venerable
jurist began an address that will
long be remembered by those
who heard it.
Judge Lewis was crying when
he finished, and the eyes of many
of those in the courtroom were
filled with tears.
Judge Titus then arose and
said that Judge Lewis had so
completely covered the ground
that it seemed entirely unneces-
sary for him to reiterate it, and
he would therefore rest.
At $40 o'clock District Attor-
ney Penney began summing up.
He spoke in a clear, well modu-
lated voice, and every word could
be heard in any part Of the room.
He was followed by the instruc-
tons of the court and the jury
retired at 4 o'clock. At 4:35 they
returned with a verdict of guilty
in the first degree Of murder, the
penalty for which is death.

HIS HEART IN HIS MOUTH
Witness in Schley Case Gives Sensational
Testimony.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. "a
Lieutenant Commander Lewis G.
Heilner, navigation officer of the
Texas, was the star witness at
Mondays session of the Schley
court of inquiry. He told how
his heart was in his mouth when
he saw the great gray hulk of
the Brooklyn looming up through
the smoke after it had made the
famous loop. He testified that
Captain Philip had stopped the
engines of the Texas at this crit
ical moment of the great naval
battle, but that afterward the
captain had ordered this fact
erased from the log of the Tex
as. A great battle had been
won, he said, and Captain Philip
did not wish to leave any record
in the log which afterward might
put a cloud on the actions of any
one who contributed to the vic
tory.
The testimony that the log
had been altered by Captain
Philip was listened to with aston
ishment by the naval officers
who were in the court chamber.
Heilner's testimony settled the
fact that the engines of the Tex
as were stopped and explains
why there is no official report on
this fact. He also asserted that
the Texas was in greater danger
from the Brooklyn than it was
from the guns of the Spanish war
ships. This, coupled with the
assertion that delay of three
miles was OccaSloned by the
loop, were the important features
of the lieutenant-c commanders
testimony.

A Subject OF the Gar PierCes the
ImpsneTdbIe Mystery OF ii.
betdn Lamdism in its Mountain
Retreat.

CHICAGO, Sept. 25-Under a
Moscow date of a month ago a
Chicago paper publishes very
remarkable letter from a special
correspondent, as follows:
When the Tibetan ENJOYS
sought the presence of Russia's
autocrat the other day they were
headed by an individual of nc
mean attainments. The chief
envoy, Hambo Atschvan Dord-
jeff, is man of vast experience
and no small learning. He is in
the prime of life and was born a
Russian subject, in the Khorin-
ski Buriats district, in Russian
North Asia. There he was sur
rounded from his infancy by
Buddhist influences, for the reg
ion is the particular dwelling
place of a tribe of Lamaist
Buriats, who have been settled
there more than 800 years.
After long course of severe
study Dordjeff was admitted to
the higher ranks of Lamaism at
the Atzahotsk Buddhist monas-
terry. Some further years were
spent in the study of the esoteric
doctrines of Lamaism and then
the promising priest emigrated
to Tibet, the home of Lamaism
and the shrine or RE most secret
doctrines of that abstruse creed.
In Tibet he was fortunate
enough to gain the favor of the
Lama, the Dalai Lama, as he is
called. The Dalai Lama receiv-
ed the young Russian with every
honor and speedily advanced
him to a responsible position at
Lhassa, the capital. Dordjeff,
in his voluntary exile, was not
unmindful of the pit whence he
was digged. Russia continued
to be to him the fatherland, the
home of his childhood, loved
with all the passion of an exile,
and he determined to do what
he could to attach the high priest
and chief of Tibet to the govern
ment of his old home. Nowhere
has the czar had more faithful
servant than in the Tibetan capi.
tai in the person of Dordjeff.
Lama Dordjeff speaks Russian
fiuently and found little difficulty
in keeping up communication
with ST. Petersburg. Those
who know say that he had many
Instructions from the Russian
authorities how to act and what
promises to make in the czar's
name in order to induce the La
ma to send a mission to the Rus
sian court to seek an alliance, OF
rather proteCtorate. Anyway
in the course of time Dordjeff
was deputed by the Dalai Lama
to represent his sacred person
as chief of an embassy to the
court of ST. Petersburg.
Lamalsm is the offspring OF
Tibet. 1t is Buddhism as under
stood there and Lama monks
have a high reputation for hav-
ing penetrated not only into re-
ligious mysteries but also into
the higher secrets of nature.
There are 400 monasteries in IT,
bet. The Lamas take an oath
of perpetual chastity and a vow
of poverty, but that does not
prevent the monasteries from be-
coming very rich. The principal
monastery is at Lhassa, where
II, 600 monks and 800 Lamas re-
side permanently. Here resides
the Dalai Lama, who is supposed
to incorporate in himself the god
Buddha.
The plates that cover the CELL
ing of the Lhassa monastery are
of pure gold, and represent an
enormous value. The Dalai La

RECIPROCITY I'M TN ISSUE
President Roosevelt will Follow the Lines Laid Down by Mckinley
and Insist That the Senate Act on Pending Treaties.

welt is carrying toward the work
of his predecessor.
There will be strong opposi-
tion in the east to the French
treaty and strong opposition in
the west to the Argentine treaty.
The eastern manufacturers of
knit goods aud cheap jewelry
claim they have been sacrificed
in the Argentine treaty. By
combining the two interests they
can defeat both treaties. But
the western people all want the
French treaty, and the eastern
people want the Argentine treaty.
The senators from each section
realize that they would have to
explain their votes against the
treaty demanded by their people.
They have, therefore, followed
the plan of hanging up all the
reciprocity treaties in the senate
committee on foreign relations
until the time limit on them ex
pires.
Mckinley having by agree
ment with the other interested
powers extended the time in
which they may be ratified, and
President Roosevelt having TAX
on up the work, it will be neces
sary for the senator's to show
| their position on each treaty
some time during the next ses-
sion of congress. The eastern
senators may oppose the French
treaty, but the western and
southern senators cannot do so
without explaining to their con-
stituentS. The western men
may oppose the Argentine treaty
because of the reduction of the
tariff on wool, but the eastern
senators will support that treaty
because the woolen manufactur-
ers desire the cheaperwool.
Under the reciprocal agree
ment with France-nOt the
treaty, but an agreement made
by the president under power
given him in the Dingley law
United States exports to France
of confessional articles increased
"A per cent, while the imports of
French merchandise affected by
the agreement increased less
than 8 per cent. 1t is claimed
by eastern manufacturers of knit
goods and cheap jewelry that the
reciprocity treaty with France is
not drawn upon protection lines,
but it does not give American
exports lower tariff in France
and greater advantage than is
given to French exports to this
country. There are treaties be
ing negotiated with Germany
! and Russia along the same line
with the French treaty, out they
cannot be completed until the
senate disposes of the the treat
les now before it.
+ AS result of several confer
ences between President Roose
welt and General Wood, Govern
or General of Cuba, it has been
determined to negotiate a recip-
rocity agreement between the
United States and the island, the
agreement to be sent to congress
early in December Cereals and
machinery from the United States
will enter Cuba at reduced rates,
and sugar and tobaccos will be the
principal Cuban products affect
ed by the agreement.

dispatched at once to Venezuela

This action is the result of the at

In the port cities of Hamburg and

of the two warships is at fever heat.
The newspapers of these towns are

These incidents are causing much
