During the afternoon, Mr.. Donnelly
was at his Office in the Boston block
engaged in writing for his publication.
He left the office at 4:30 and was APP
parently in the best of health. He
ate dinner with his wife and her pa
rents at o'clock and then complained
of feeling sick. He retired and soon
afterward was apparently much worse.
DR.. Murphy was summoned at 8
o'clock. He found his patient uncon-
sctous. Advancing age had weakened
the sick mans constitution and It was
apparent that his recovery was hope
less; that medical science was Of no
avail. Without recovering conscious
ness he died three hours later.
Mr.. Donnelly was born in Philadel-
phia in 1881. He graduated from the
high school in that city and at the
completion OF three-year course in
law was admitted to the bar. Two
years later he married. He

In 1856 and divided his time between
farming and literary pursuits. MT.
Bonnelly had the honor Of being the
first lieutenant governor elected in the
state by the Republican party. He
was chosen to that position in 1859,
and at the expiration of his term was
reelected. The following year, III
1861. he was elected to congress, and
twice succeeded himself. When he
ran for the Office a fourth time COM
bination was made against him and he
was defeated.
Mr. Donnefly continued from that
time to be an important and unique
figure in politics. After his defeat for
congress in 1865 he twice refused a
nomination, but in 1870 he ran inde-
pend emily and lost by narrow mar
gin. He stumped the state, together
with Wisconsin, Illinois and Michigan,
in the interests Of Greeley In 1872, and
the following year was
Chosen State Senator
from Dakota county.
Later he was nominated for congress
by the Anti-Afonopolists and Demo
Gratis, but was defeated by washburn.
In 1884 he again ran for congress and
was this time defeated by Maj. Strait,
As man Mr.. Donnelly was very
social In his nature. bubbling over
with good humor ana anecdote and on
excellent conversationalist. AS q
speaker he was regarded as one of the
best on account OF his humor and con.
clusiveness. and in his writings he had
an original way Of arraying His facts
and hewing his way to conclusiveness
It was in the literary field, however
that he achieved a national repnta ton
His published works are: Atlantis
"Raenarok, the Age OF Fire and

ASKING Jan. Or the second
time since the 1sgptiat iohs among the
foreign miHist tiers began ats Pekin the.
American government Sss has found aity
necessary to q peal n directly To the
powers to help the minis ers over a.
diplomatic barrier which they were
unable to scale. The first Instance 81.
this scf1aract was when the ministers
f We're onsidering the punishments sec
sstions OF the demands to be- made Of,
China. The second case involves the
question OF indemnity According to
IadYices to the state department from
Y Minister sConger the outlook is hope
less for an agreement among the diplo-
matte represent as to the amount
and character OF the indemnity to be-
Insisted, upon by the powers. Acting
h on Mr.. Congerss advice the state de-
partment has asked Japan ana the
several powers OF Europe to begin the
sconsid ation at once through regular
diplomatic channels OF the indemnity
question. As the other ministers at
Pekin are supposed to have advised
their respective governments of the
hopelessness of reaching conclusion 1t
appears to be assured that there
VIII he No Dissent sS q
/ from the suggestion Of the United
States The Russian government rsug-
gested early in the negotiations be-
tween the powers that the matter OF in
IDENTITIES be left to the adjudication
of the permanent tribunal OF arbitra-
ticn appointed at the outgrowth OF
The Hague disarmament conference
This idea was indorsed by President
Mckinley. No conclusion In the mat
ter ives reached however, and the.
ministers at Pekin were left to wrestle
with the task of bringing into accord
the divers views Of their governments.
AS some of the ministers were bound
by instructions which gave them little
if any freedom OF action the present
deadlock was Inevitable.
# The question of making new COM
mercial trestie to which China has:
assented presents another diplomatic
tangle. It is probable that the minis
tiers Will be unable to agree on the
terms Of a general treaty of commerce
with China which will be acceptable
to their governments, and the course
suggested by the United States in re-
gard to indemnity is likely to be fol-

just before adjournment this afternoon.
On Monday morning the opening state
ment OF the defense will be made and
the examination Of witnesses in behalf Of
Considine begun. Between 90 and 100 wit
nesses have been summoned for the de-
ferse, end while IL is not probable that
all OF these Will be called to the stand
the defense does not expect to reach the
end OF its testimony before next Satur-
day. Arguments and the charge to the
jury probably will be carried over to the
following week
The case Of the prosecution, as Il now
stands. rests upon the theories that for
shooting John Considine had been heard
to make threats against Meredith; that
when the two Considine brothers met
Meredith at Guys drug store on the aft
ernoon OF June Is a first shot was fired
outside the store either by Thomas Con-
sicine or by some unknown person in the
Considine interests. and that this shot
drove Meredith TO the use OF his shotgun
in seIf-defense.
The third. and so far as evidence goes,
the best supported contention of the pros
ecutlon; Is tnat Meredith was insensible
and helpless from the blows struck upon
his head by Thomas Considine before
John Considine fired the three shots, one
OF which is conceded to have been the
cause Of Meredith's death.
Mrs. Meredith, the widow of the de-
ceased, was on the witness stand this af-
ternoon. Her examination was brief. She
SAID In response to questions that when
her husband left home early on the after
noon Of the killing she noticed nothing
unusual in his manner. Mrs. Meredith
was asked no questions by the defense.
Three well-known physicians gave ex-
pert testimony to-day, responding to
hypothetical question as to the effect
upon person Of blows on the head such
as the evidence showed Meredith to have
received. They united in the belief that
partial, II not complete, Inconsistencies
must ensue. Asked as to wha t'condition
man would be in under such circum-
HE would be incapable OF making an
assault and perfectly defenseless from an
attack Of any kind"
The cross-examinations Of these wit
nesses indicated the purpose Of the de-
Tense to attempt to show that Meredith
was still capable Of attacking John Con-
sidine, and did In fact make q motion to-
ward his coat pocket. which contained
another revolver, when he was shot by
John Considine.
II. NJ. Hammond. who gave important
testimony for the State in the preliminary
hearing. and who has been missing since
that time, showed up last night and ap-
peared on the witness stand to-day. He
testified TO having heard a shot outside
the drug store prior to the first shot fired
by Meredith and having seen the puff Of
smoke In front of an unknown man, who
Immediately followed Meredith and John
Considine into the store.
Prosecuting Attorney Fulton received
an anonymous letter tonight, setting
forth the Identical statements of HAM
mond's testimony. The writer says that
FOR business reasons he or she dare not
appear publicly In the case.

TACOMA, Nov. "a romance charac-
terized by rapid action from wooing to
marriage was enacted In Tacoma this
week Its principals were Captain Alex
ander Watson of the British steamship
Wyefield and Miss Jeanette Petrie OF
Aberdeen, Scotland. During the last six
years Miss Petrie has had charge of Cap
tain Watson's children, a boy and a girl,
aged and Ii years, whose mother died
six years ago. Miss Petrie started from
Scotland to bring Captain Watson's chill
dren to him. She expected that his yes.
sci was loading at San Francisco, and
bought through tickets for that city from
Chicago. She had left Chicago before
Captain Watson became aware that she
and his children had so nearly accom-
plished their journey.
All one day and night the telegraph
wires were kept hot in an effort to locate
them. They were found on the Union
Pacific just in time to have them leave
the train at Ogden and board the next
train for Tacoma.
After embracing his children Captain
Watson did not hesitate to sincerely
thank Miss Petrie for her tender care Of
them. During the same afternoon he pro-
posed marriage and was accepted. He
and Miss Petrie journeyed to st. Luke's
parish house and were married. The next
morning at daybreak the steamer Wye.
field weighed anchor and sailed for Vlad'-
vostok.
Captain Watson and Miss Petrie hal
