POOR OLD BUTLER
Finds but Little Sympathy in
House of Commons.
War Secretary Skaters What Little
Reputation He Had Left.
Vote ct Censure of Government Do
feated, 256 to 90.

London, July 1.-THE Butler contro-
versy was again raised by Sir Edward
Grey, Liberal, in the House OF Com
mons. today, on the war Office vote.
Sir Edward charged the war Office Of
ticials with acting unfairly toward
General Butler and demanded the pub
LEGATION of further papers.
The reply of the war secretary, Mr.
Frederick. shattered any remnants of
the reputation of the dismissed general
He opposed further publications,
which, he declared, could not relieve
General Butler OF the responsibility of
such mistakes as the abandonment of
the guns at Colenso, and the proposals
to surrender, Ladysmith which had
they been listened to, would have pro-
duced a disaster for which there was
no parallel in British history.
In regard 20 those proposals. con-
tinued mir. Frederick, when General
Butler sounded his note of despair to
General White, he had heliogram in
his pocket. received fortnight before.
saying that General White had pro-
visions for 20 days and could defend
Ladysmith while the food lasted. Gen
eral Buffers retention after Colenso
and Spion Kop was inevitable under
the circumstances and his appointment
to command at Aldershot was simply a
resumption of his former office. Cen
eral Butler was a good peace COM
mander."
Later Sir Edward Grey's proposed
vote of censure of the government for
its treatment of Gen. Butler was de-
feated by 2S6 noes to 9S ayes, after
much speechmaking.
simultaneously the war office was
being attacked in the House of Lords
where Lord Monkswell, Liberal.
brought up the scathing allegations
contained in the report of the commit
Tee Of military education and urged the
appointment of an inspector
general OF army education.
Lord Raglan, the under secretary for
war. and Lord LanSdowne, the for
eign secretary, defended the war Of
flee. saying that a new scheme for
containing sweeping
changes, was in process of being drawn
up. which statement satisfied Lord
Monkswell and his supporters and the
motion was withdrawn.

GRUES0ME STORY
Of Finding of Sarah Wares
Body at Bucksport.
States Witnesses Unable to Identify
Things Found Near Remains.
Witness avs Treworey Said He Told
euldoc of Affair.

Ellsworth, Ne, July 1.-THE entire
forenoon session of the Hancock coun-
ty supreme court, Thursday, where
William Trcworgy is on trial charged
with causing the death of Sarah Ware
at BucksDort four years ago, was
taken UP in examining witnesses rela-
tive to the details attending the search
for the woman's body and the circum-
stances prevailing at the time it was
found. Nothing rev or of particular
importance was brought out.
An attempt of the State to have wit
nesses identify two articles-a trunk
which is claimed to have been the
property of the murdered woman, and
a rain coat which the State claims was
found near Mrs. Wares body-was I'M
successful. The witnesses admitted
that the exhibits resembleG the articles
in question, but they could not posi-
lively identify them.
Among the 13 witnesses examined at
the afternoon session We're eX-Judge
Chase of Rluehill, before whom the
preliminary hearing was held; County
Attorney Tracy and Sheriff Howard F..
Whitcomb Their testimony was en-
tirely corrOborative as was that Of
nearly all the other witnesses called at
the session.
The only new testimony was given by
Lewis s. Tapley. who related Q CONVEX
sation he had with Treworgy the day
Mrs. Wares body was found. and tes-
tilted that he drove a carriage up
Miles lane and over to the spot where
the body had lain. On the day the Wo-
mans body was found, Tapley with a
companion was coming down the lane
when they met Treworgy. Tapley
asked:
What about this, Treworgy?" TO
which the latter replied: I'm ready to
be questioned at any time.
why didn't you tell Bulduc?' con-
tinued witness and TreWorgy replied

A witness testified, yesterday, that
Treworgy told him he did not speak Of
the matter to Bulduc; that he forgot
it.

one ring dropped off and the other ring
was taken off. He cut away the corset
and the outer skirt. The body had
white skirt underneath the outside one.
He put the body back as it was. He
had seen a skull in George Wares shop
and examined it carefully.
Attorney General Seiders asked If he
had been shown the skull purporting to
be Sarah Wares skull but Mr.. Fellows
objected on the ground that It was too
remote. The court sustained the OBJ
lection.
The witness said when George Ware
died. the skull was turned over to him
by Mr.. Wares agent. He had seen the
skull several times. Shown the Skull
he said it was the same one he saw AT
George Wares. After receiving 1t IN

American Manners.

The ordinary Londoner who has not
had the good fortune to cross the At
lantic is wont to picture his American
cousin wearing a goatee and a victim
to the constant chewing of tobacco and
liberal expectoration. On arriving in
New York he is amazed to discover that
the goatee IS conspicuous by its alb
sence, tobacco chewing unnoticeable
and expectoration practically unknown.
In this respect he finds the New Yorker
far more cleanly in his habits than the
Londoner, more especially on public
cars and in public places. The unre-
strained indulgence of splitting on and
off the tops of buses and in railway
trains and the random chewing and
smoking of tobacco In and around Lon
don are simply odious and make trav-
cling intolerable and ofttimes disgust
ing even to smoker Here the strange
prohibition against splitting in public
places and the sensible regulation as to
smoking are so thoroughly observed
that travelling becomes pleasure. If
London would only copy the most adj
mirable example existing in New York
in this respect, the English metropolis
would soon be rid of most unwar-
rantable and filthy habit.

But Stella was not listening to him.
Her wide eyes, SO pitiful with pain and
fear, had filled with merciful tears and
she only said: 'Oh, Arch, forgive me,
