AT this point Justice Jerome inter-
fered This witness is a weak, wicked
and unfortunate man. He Is a salf-
confessed murderer and deserves con-
tempt, but I won't allow you to insult
him." Lawyer Moore said: Here is a
solemn statement about cold-bloodei d
murder. My client is directly concerned
and am not asking too much in de-

a falsehood." The justice then allowed

IS MOI SIGNIFICANT
Departure Of Russian War ship
From Toulon Of Little 20.
litical Significance.
French Authoritie. Say the Mat.
ter Has Been Exasserated
Into Sensation.
List Of Missionaries Recently
Massacred Near Pao Ting
Flu. China.

Paris, April Am official Of the for
elgn office Informed the Associated
Press today that the sensation which is
being created by the departure of q
Russian warship from Toulon is quite
artificial. 1t never was intended that
the whole Russian squadron should re-
main there during the Franco italian
festivities, as 1t was recognized that the
presence of third party would tend 10
check an expansion of feeling while at
the same time it might invest events at
Toulon in the minds of others with a
triple political character which they do
not possess. The czar wishes, neverthe-
less, that the Russian navy should greet
President Loubet at Toulon and it will
be represented by at least two warships,
which will stay there during the fes-
tiyities, in which their officers will par.
itlcipate.
A Russian parsonage in this city, who
was interviewed on the subject, spoke
IN the same strain, explaining that had
the Russian officers and warships been
in too great numbers they might have
diverted to themselves part of the
demonstrative friendliness which the
Italians came to seek in France. He
also said there had been a lack of dis
cretion on the part of the Russian con-
sui at Toulon and declared that the
Russian squadron never intended 10
take part in the fetes. He admits the
departure of the Russian warships is in
order to cut short the reports in certain
Paris papers which have been attrit it
ing undue significance to the arri. al Of
the Russian squadron at the present
juncture.
Hay Confers With President.
Washington. April 4-The president
and Secretary Hay We're in conference
almost an hour this morning. Secretary
Root was present a portion of the time.
The subject of the consultation was not
disclosed, alsho it is surmised that it
related to the Chinese situation. Hay
stated that the government had no Off
cial advices confirming the press re-
ports that China had definitely refused
! to sign the Manchurian agreemen. with
Russia. Root pronounced the stories
that Aguinaldo had been invited to
come c,' was to come to the United
States in the future to be baseless.
