men Of money and jsHelry BY fortune
telling, vas resumed here Thursday.
Laura Jackson, formerly Ann Odelis
Dass de Bar Of New York, made q
strange appearance.
She wore in the dock loose, cream
colorsd deco!lette garment, resembling
surplice, over which was a pale blue
silk robe which she wore when remand
ed, Sept. rs. Charles ". Matthews,
senior counsel to the treasury, repre-
sented the treasury. He detailed the
charges agsinss the prisoners obtaining
money under false pretence, procuring
girls, and rape. The offensea, said Mr..
Matthews, we're committed by fraud
unique in the annals of crime. Ths
aorroes ESTABLISHED q religious ssct
called "Fheocrst;c Unity" claimed the
attributes Of divine power and induced
girls to misconduct themselves with
Theodore, under the belief thst it was
necessary part ef their religious De.
7otion.
Poverty, chastity and obedience"
were the watch words Of the Theocratic
Unity, which was also called the Purity
League. Chastity, however, only ap-
piled to msrried people. Neophytes
running the unity were obliged to vow
secrecy and profess belief in the divini-
ty Of the Rorroes, both Of whom, said
Mr.. MsttheTs, possessed mesmeric pow
ers, especially Laura. The latter fre-
quently interrupted counsel with loud
screams Of false" A we'll bred Wo-
man, % years Of age, who, the prosecu
tion say, is the Oldest Of the many VIC
TINS Of the Horroes, testified in support
Of Mr.. Matthews statement.
Evidence in the case was adjourned
unsil Friday. 1t is probsble that there
will be many sittings of the police
court before the csse goes to jury.
The government officials expect the
prisoners will receive life sentence.
The identity Of Laura With Ann

TIE DANISH WEST INDIES.
PrsslAsat Mckinley Expects to sssm,t .
Treaty y the Senate 1t the Next sss-
siaa for Their Acquisition.

Washington, March 29.-It mny be
stated on authority that the condi-
tons reported to have been laid by
Denmark as the basis for the transfer
of the Danish West Indies to the
United States are inaccurately stated
in special dispatch from Copen-
hagen, published yesterday morning.
Because the negotiations between
the governments of the United States
and Denmark are still incomplete the
state department officials do not care
to make any definite indication of the
errors contained in the special. But
for one thing it is known that no
plebescite, such as described, is pro-
posed, and there are other important
errors in the statement.
Mr.. Swenson. our minister at Copen-
hagen, is conducting these negotia-
tons directly with the Danish gov
eminent and it is admitted that he
is making good progress, though the
end has not yet been reached, and it
is now the expectation that the presi-
dent will be able to submit treaty
to the senate at the next session for
the acquisition of the Danish West
Indies by the United States.

the Legislature and an equally futile
effort to hold caucus under new

the Nebraska senatorial canvass. In

will be unrepresented in the upper

the possibility Of an extra session of

Witte, the finance minister, was en-.
ergetically opposed to the establish

cial reasons, not to mention the dis

The examination Of the 1,15O politi.

OF lake marine interests that the grain
feet which will sail at the opening

will be the smallest that has sailed
out of Chicago harbor in the spring

peculiar conditions existing at the
close of navigation last fall. the grain
blockade at Buffalo preventing large
