PISTOL USED WAS AYERS.
Mrs. Bonnie's story Co~rroborated I'm On,
Particular.

Mrs. onnie' story C~orrobornted In Ons
Particular.
Washington, May 27.-A local paper
say of the Bonine-Ayres case:
In their efforts to throw discredit up
on Mrg. Bonine's story of how and
why she killed James s. Ayres, the po-
lice merely nave strengthened her de-
feEse.
For instance, they disbelieved her
statement that h had given a re-
volver of her to a colored waiter
at the Hotel Kenmore q year ago. She
said the boys name was Welter.
The police found several Walters
who had worked at the hotel, but each
denied that he had ever been given O
revolver by Mrs. BONNIE.
They thought they had a strong
point against Mrs. Bonine. According
ly they were plainly disappointed last
ter, surnamed Gum, appeared n adj
mitted that he was he to whom the
prisoner had given a revolver.
So 1t is now reluctantly conceded by
the authorities that the weapon with
which Mrs. BONNIE killed Ayres be-
longed to the census clerk himself, just
as she stated In her confession to
Chief Sylvester.
DR.. G~lazebrook was sent to the Jail
by the police authorities to make an
examination of Mrs. Bonnie in the hope
hat possible evidence might be dis
covered to throw discredit upon her
story. But the bruises which he found
on her ankles and which appeared to
be about a week old only ter to cor
roborate the statement that h had
a terrific struggle with Ayres In the
battle for her honor and her life.
The case has been the subject Of
much discussion among the legal lights
OF Washington, It being the almost
unanimous opinion that IL the fair
prisoners story-tf the killing Is false
IL is one OF the most ingenious ever
constructed and will be one OF the
most difficult upon which to convict
ever presented to a jury. Very few,
however, are found who believe that
she has told all the truth about the af-
fair.
Karl G.. Bonine, the husband OF Lola
Ida Bonine. say he has the same faith
in her today that he had when she be-
came his bride. Nothing that has oc-
CURED a shaken his trust In the wo-
man who bears his name and who is
the mother of his two boys.
Mr.. BONNIE believes his wife is inno-
cent Of crime as we'll as of disloyalty
to him. He believes that the confess
sion h made Monday afternoon is the
truth. His ambition now is to secure
q verdict of acquittal hat will estab-
lish her honor.
Mr.. BONNIE visited his wife in the Jail
yesterday. Nearly blind, he finds his
nervou system almost shattered by
the blow OF his wife's confession. But
since his wife on her knees implored
him to believe her innocent of crime
and a true wife, he has gathered
strength to stand by her.

WANTS TO SEE The HANDICAP
Edna wallace Hopper Pays S1,7oo to
Avoid Saturday MatiI GO.

Avoid Saturday Matir GO.
New York, May 27.-Edna Wallace
Hopper and Lillian Russell have for
several years run a close race for the
record in originality and amount of
personal exploitation, but yesterday
the little Coincidence took a sudden
squirt that left Miss Russell away back.
Mrs. Hopper is a devotee Of horse
racing. and the prospect or appearing
in a matinee of "Florodora' on Satur-
day while the Brooklyn handicap was
being run she declared ~unbearable.
She asked John c.. Fisher, the manager
of "Florodora," what he would sell Sat-
urday afternoons house for. He told
her hat the capacity was 81, 600, and
hat at every recent matinee that
amount Of money had been taken in.
Mrs. Hopper said:
Il will pay you $1,70o to give no per-
Torrance. / must go to the Brooklyn
handicap"
Mr.. Fisher regarded the offer as a
joke, but in the morning Mrs. Hopper
gave a check for the 81, 700. An n
nouncement, signed by Mr.. Fisher, was
put on the bulletin board at the stage
door telling the company that there
would be no matinee. People who came
to buy tickets got the same informa-
tion. There Is no doubt or the genuine
ness of this thing. There Is no decep-
ton about 1t. Mrs. Hopper thus buys
for herself the first place among Amer
can stage advertisers.
All the Lillian Russell devices are
eclipsed, and those Of Sadie Martinez,
Anna Held and a hundred others. The
actual cost Of this to Mrs. Hopper Is
proved by the number of prospective
purchasers of tickets for Saturday az
ternoon who have already been turned
away and by Mrs. Hopper's certified
check. or course, the actress will be
a conspicuous figure at the race. That
she will therefore enjoy the sport keen
ly Is sure. But, even as a business in
vestment, her outlay is probably
shrewd. 1t will bring her an amount
and kind OF celebrity worth more than
81, 700 to an actress DESTROYS Of obtain
ing IT.

Paul, Minnesota, and 1t is pretty near
ly right, too, when the advantages that
Western Canada offers to those seek

boia district Is one Of the best. The
writer from whose letter we quote goes

A COMPROMISE EXPECTED.
Rockhin Will Continue Efforts to Reduce
ndemnity


Washington, May H.-Mr. Rockhill has
confirmed the news from Peking to the
effect that the foreign ministers have de-
clined to accede to the suggestion of the
United States that the total of the in
demnity to be collected from China shall
be limited to 5000, 900, 900.
IL is expected that he will continue his
efforts in the direction Of keeping down
the maximum of claims, even while aban-
doning, for the sake of harmony, the fig
ures named, and II Is believed that the
outcome will be a compromise on a fig
ure between $780, DOC, 900 and the maximum
of 1881, 900. 1000 claimed by the powers. In
the effort to keep down the total Mr..
Rockhill looks for support to the esti-
mates submitted by Sir Ernest Satow, the
British minister at Picking, and Sir Rob-
ert Hart, commissioner of imperial GUS
toms, whose report upon the ability of
the Chinese to pay an indemnity of about
$2o0. 900. 600 is now before the state depart
ment.
Until this question of grand total is set
tied the matters of interest to be estab-
lished on the loan and the method of
guaranty are expected to remain open.
