To cure Cancer thoroughly and perma-

THE EASTMAN TRIAL.
The Defendant Tells the story of the
killing of GroEan-Declares
Il an Accident,

Cambridge, Mass, May s.-The eli-
max in the Eastman murder trial was
reached Tuesday when the defendant
himself took the stand to tell his
own story. He went into no elabo-
rate details, but answered only the
questions put to him by his lawyer.
For two hours he was on the stand,
giving his testimony as to his rela-
tions with Grogan and the incidents
OF the day of the shooting. He de-
clared that the shooting was an ac-
cident, and that up to last October
he had always believed that it was
the old rim fire pistol that discharged
the bullet which killed his brother
in-law. The struggle which followed,
he said, was for the possession Of
the center-fire pistol, which Grogan
had in his hand. Eastman said that
he went to Grogan first to assist him
and then, because of the expression
on his face, to get the weapon away
from him. He said that there was
so much noise and confusion in the
struggle that he could not recall how
many times Grogan's revolver went
off. But that it did go off he was
almost certain. He did not know
how he received his own wound, and
said he did everything possible after
the affair to assist Grogan to the
house, and was Frustrated with grief
when he found that he was dying.
The cross-examination was not fin
ished when the court adjourned for
the day.

FACTORIES TO CLOSE.

Down Its Eleven Plants for
the Summer,

Sioux City, Ia, May s.-A telegram
from the head Offices of the National
Starch company states that the COM
pany will close all of it's II factories
as soon as the present corn supply
is consumed. The Sioux City plant,
which is one of the largest in the
country, will continue till about June
/. The other factories are in Ne
braska City, Neb.; Des Moines, Ia;
Cincinnati, Buffalo, Glen Cove, N. Y,
and other places. The information
sent here inclines the local manage
ment to the belief that repairs will
be made during the summer and most
of the plants be reopened in the fall.
President Piel was here recently, and
said that all factories were over
stocked. 1t is believed the trust pro-
poses to stop production and sell the
present supply at increased prices.

MAKES ITS REPORT.
Cuban Commission Tells of Its Trip
to Washington.
APPARENTLY PLEASED WITH RESULT
Light on Plat Amendment Received
in Conferences with the Presi-
dent and Secretary ROot-Fa-
vorable Action Expected.

Havana, May s.-The Cuban COM
mission at the secret session pre-
sented an extensive report of their
conferences with President Mckinley
and Secretary Root and glowing ac-
count of the banquets and receptions
rendered them. Senior Giberga OBJ
jected to Incorporating an account
of the social programme in the re-
port, but the commission insisted up
on this point.
In reference to the third clause of
stated that the United States would
not intervene unless Cuba We're at
tackled by a foreign power, or unless
there existed in Cuba condition of
affairs similar to that which existed
under Spain at the time of American
Intervention.
Regarding coaling stations, the re-
port sets forth that the places so de-
sired by the United States We're Capes
A1aysi and San Antonio and another
point, commanding the entrance to
the Gulf of Mexico. These would be
definitely determined upon when
drawing up the treaty and that the
object of these stations would be the
maintenance of the independence of
Cuba as well as the protection of the
United States.
The report also said that the Unit
ed States would in no way interfere
in the local government and that
President Mckinley had promised to
appoint commission to meet a
Cuban commission to discuss the
economic question and to draw up q
commercial treaty as soon as the re-
public is established, and that he adj
vised the Cubans in the meantime to
study the situation in this respect.
The report announced that Secre-
tary Root had said that there was
nothing in the Platt amendment to
prevent Cuba having diplomatic rep
resentatives in foreign countries.
Makes Good Impression.
The report has evidently made q
good impression, and only few rad
icals will continue to oppose it's ac-
ceptance. Senior Villuenda. in an open
letter declaring his intention to ac-
cept the amendment, said he first
thought that if the convention re-
jected the amendment Washington
might change its policy, as he then
believed the amendment was the
work of party. II now believe" says
Senior Villuenda, that the amend
ment is the work of the nation.
There is no use in objecting to the
inevitable. 1t is either annexation or
republic with the amendment. and
prefer the latter. The United
States government, by insisting upon
the amendment, shows that the
Americans have changed from their
policy before the war and that they
no longer rely upon the Monroe doc
trine to protect the interests of
american republics"
The convention will meet Thursday
and is expected to take definite ac.
ton Saturday.

From the PLAIN DEALER of May 3.
Were it not that the above state
ment is so far from the real facts in
the case the undersigned would have
passed the matter by, leaving the
public to Judge for itself as to the
justice of raising the assessed valua-
tion of the Fair Grounds; but as the
gentleman who wrote the above
article was present, with, "The last
Board of Review in the city council
room of Cresco" when the assessment
Was raised from $1,000 to $3OOO-not
$ioo0-and expressed himself as being
satisfied with the actionof the "Board
of Review" it seems strange that he
should give for publication an article
so misleading.
AS to the justice of raising the
assessed valu alton of these grounds
will say that 1.-THE stockholders of
this corporation" have been offered
$500 for the grounds and the offer is
now good. The "Board-of Review"
owes the taxpayers an explanation
for not raising the assessed valuation
to the cash offer of $4,000 on same.
One reason for not doing so may be
given is, that the "Board" gave due
consideration to the "liberality shown
the public in the past"

FREEDOM NEAR AT HAND.
Mimi, Vote to Parole the
Younger Boys.

St. Paul, Mimi, May S.-Coleman
and James Younger. the most noted
convicts in the state prison ut Still
water, on Tuesday won the first step
towards freedom from that institu-
ton, to which they were sent for life
over 25 years ago. For over 20 years
their friends have been working in
their behalf, each governor being i'm
portuned frequently for a pardon.
The third brother, Bob, died in the
Saltwater prison few years ago,
but the efforts for the liberation of
the now old men have never ceased.
Ten years ago a pardon board, com
posed of the governor. attorney gen
eral and chief justice, was created,
one of the arguments in it's favor
being the relief it would give the
chief executive from the friends of
the YouAgers. Since then the pardon
board has been asked repeatedly to
act favorably on applications for par
don of the Youngers. but the re-
quired unanimous vote could never
be secured. Two years ago bill was
presented to the legislature provid-
ing for the parole of life prisoners,
and was passed by the senate but
killed in the house. This year Il SINH
lar BILL after several hard encounters
on the floor of the two houses, got
through and secured the approval of
Gov. Nansant, but an amendment to
it required the unanimous approval
of the board of pardons before pa
roles of life prisoners could become
effective. The opponents of the
Youngers let the bill go through in
this shape, but nothing could come
of it. Under the provisions of this
law the board of prison managers on
Tuesday unanimously recommended
the parole of the Youngers. This
recommendation will be at once pre-
scented to the board of pardons. but
none of the members of the board
would say whether a special meeting
would be called to consider the mat
ter. The next regular meeting will
be held in July. Before final action
it would be necessary to have the
legality OF the two provisions of the
new law passed upon. In the mean
time the two surviving Yonngers are
rejoicing over the hope of ultimate
release from their prison home.
