EIGHTH WEEK OF PATRICK TRIAL
Defense Endeavor to Show Rice Died
Natural Death.

NEW YORK, March 1O.-Today's session
Of court marked the beginning Of the eighth
week of the trial of Albert I. Patrick, law
yer. accused of the murder of VIM. NJ Rice
a Texas millionaire In this city on Sep
tember 2 1900. Robert H. Anrich, who has
charge Of the autopsy department of the
city morgue. was the first witness today.
He assisted at the autopsy on Rices body.
He was not permitted to answer question
as to whether Dr. Donlin said at the end
Of the post-mortem. 1.-THE old mans time
had come. He died Of old age, and that 8
all there is to it,
The defense then asked permission to re-
call DR.. Donlin to ask the question Of him,
and Prosecuting Attorney Osborne asked
time to decide whether he should object to
the request. Dr. e. A. Lee. a surgeon who
said he had administered chloroform about
5000 times, was then called. The odor of
chloroform he said, was lasting one, and
should be noticeable for more than an hour
after it's use. The tendency of the drug
was to excite the person to whom it was
given. In the circumstances described by
Charles F. Jones on the stand the witness
would expect the patient to struggle and
knock off the bedclothes. Jones said Rice
die not move.

ORDERED BY CHAFFEE.
The Court-Martial to Try Major Waller
and Lieut.. Day.

Rear Admiral Rodgers commanding the
Asiatic station. has reported to the Navy
Department that the court-martial for the
trial of Major Waller and Lieut.. Day Of
the Marine Corps was ordered by Gen.
Chaffee. commanding the military division
Of the Philippines, and will meet at Ma
nila next Monday. This message sets at
rest all doubt as to whether the marine
battalion with which the two officers were
connected was serving under the military
or naval authorities on Its expedition across
the Island of Samar. The marines were
acting under the orders Of army officers
That explains why the court was ordered
by General Chaffee instead Of by Admiral
Rodgers, commanding the naval forces, as
would have been the case had the expedi-
tion been conducted under naval auspices.
No official report has yet been made to
either the War or Navy Department In
regard to the Offenses alleged to have been
committed by Major Waller and Lieutenant
Day, but the officials accept the press dis
patches on that point. These dispatches
say that the principal charge against the
two officers Is that they killed three ma
tiyes without going through the formality
of a trial.

Two-Thousand-Mile Tickets.
m the 81 ringfeld Republican.

Some 10000 merchants located in what is
called trunk-line territory, lying between
New York. Philadelphia and Baltimore. and
Chicago-haye petitioned the trunk line
railroad association that a 1000 mile ticket
be issued at net rate of two cents a mile,
good on all roads in the association. 1t
is stated that the association is disposed to
grant the request, and will establish a bu-
reau to have charge Of the issue of such
tickets and their accounting as between
the roads The interchangeab BILE mileage
ticket Is already in use among roads of the
Central and Western Passenger AsSocia-
tions. The trunk line merchants are inter-
ested in the matter on account of the large
commercial travel made use of by them,
but no doubt such a ticket would find con-
siderable demand from the general public

WHAT SHAW DID IN NEW YORK.

ury Made Personal Investigation.
Secretary Shaw is demonstrating that he
believes personal experience OF any ques-
tion In dispute Is the best way OF getting at
1t. The Secretary of the Treasury went to
New York the other day without announc-
ing toall the officials that he intended to do
SO. He attended to various business coming
under his department in that city and then
quietly dropped down to several OF the
steamboat piers to watch the examination
of baggage by the inspectors.
The Secretary wanted to see with his own
eyes just how the government inspectors
treat arriving passengers on the big steam
ships. s. m
He wanted to know what his subordinates
did to arouse the storm OF fauit-nndlng
that has recently become SO prominent. Inc
Secretary was admitted to several or the
inspection warehouses on a card OF admis-
sion furnished him by Collector Bidwel 1t
did not bear his name. Part OF the time he
was accompanied by q woman friend
At most Of the piers the inspectors did
not recognize Secretary Shaw, Or know he
was watching them At one or two places,
however, it is said. the inspectors were
on" and worked with great care.
Secretary Shaw was at his desk In the
treasury today and said he had enjoyed his
visit to New York very much. He said he
did not herald himself in his official posi-
ton In New York; neither did ne go nOs1ns
around In the position of detective. He
just wanted to see some things for him
self and he had seen. He Is going back
quaint himself with the subtreasurer OF
New York and with other officials. so that
he may know something Of what they have
to do and what they have to encounter.

Chicago reported crop damage and Their,
were cable rumors reporting the capture OF
General Methuen by the Beers
The latter news caused some sharp sell
ing around the room and fractional declines
followed. That the market yielded at all is
but an evidence of it's narrowness and a
lack of outside interest.
SO far as the money market is concerned
the street shows little concern owing to a
very comforting theory that the banks are
trying to force the demand for time loans
in anticipation of an easier call rate later
in the season.
The call rate during the day ruled around
per cent. although some transactions
were made at a higher rate. The sub-treas-
ury has been gaining from the banks since
last week to an aggregate of s.. .a5o. 900 ana
TINS fact suggests real reason for hard

There is. however no indication OF any
lack of funds since the banks are quite as
strong as they were one year ago and the
present meager reserve is but two millions
under last years record.
Pools and syndicates are in control of the
market, and 1t is fair to suppose that they
are being very carefully prompted by the
bankers who are supplying the funds for
their undertakings
