his client would be on hand very soon.
While witnesses were being exam
ined Mrs. Nation came in, and was ap-
plauded until the judge ordered the
marshal to preserve order. A motion
was made to preserve order. A new
law was made by her attorney to
quash and he proceeded to argue the
same, claiming that it was not properly
drawn. Mrs. Nation could keep quiet
no longer, and rose to her feet,
"Your honor" commenced Mrs. Ma
tlon-"Quiet," ordered Judge McCabe.
"But that does not make any differ
ence." continued Mrs. Nation. You
will have to keep STILL" said the court.
This trial will be conducted like any
other case. and quiet must be main

guilty or not guilty?" Not guilty."
said Mrs. Nations attorney.

ted to be saloon and that Mrs. Nation
should plead guilty to smashing it.
This was done and now the case will
be argued squarely on its merits as
to whether ''joint" property is entitled
the protection OF the law.

Pekin, Feb. 15.-No official commu-

eign ENJOYS by the Chinese plenipo-

it is known that during the last three

negotiations are no further advanced
than they were at the meeting when
the Chinese plenipotentaries agreed
to the death of Prince Chuang and Iu-

Private dispatches from Sian-Fu say
that a strong opposition has developed
among the officials to an agreement by
the court to the demands of the pow
