Mrs. Richardson Is Free.

Plattsburg, Mo-, Jan. 2S.-Mrs. Ada
Richardson was acquitted of the charge
of numbering her husband, Frank W.
Richardson, wealthy merchant, who was
shot and killed on Christmas eve, 1900,
as he was entering his home at Savan-
nah, Mo. A dramatic scene followed the
rendering of the verdict. Mrs. Richardson
was overwhelmed with congratulations
from friends who crowded the courtroom
to wait the arrival of the jury.
The jury went out at $50 and returned
with a verdict 80 minutes later.
Mrs Richardson was indicted for muir
der in the first degree. The state endeav-
ored to prove as a motive that she had
sustained improper relations with Stewart
Fife, young former business associate of
Richardson. Fife was arrested recently at
North Yakima, Wash, on a charge of
completely in the crime and is now in Jail
Fat Savannah awaiting trial.

Uncle SANS Bargain.

London, Jan. 25.-The report of the
isthmian canal commission at Washington
favoring the acceptance of the offer OF the
Panama Canal company to sell its prop
erty and rights to the United States for
$4O,0OO,OOO caused some comment here.
The Saturday Review says:
"Ihe Americans can do one thing TO
perfection-the can drive a hard bargain.
The sufferer on this occasion is France,
which was completely hoodwinked by the
American bluff. The Panama directors
have agreed to sell their rights for S4O.-
100000 and the United States will jump
at the proposal. The Americans have
made a very good bargain, better perhaps
than is seemly in international dealings.

Prince Henry of Prussia, while in
the United States, will visit Chicago,
Milwaukee, Niagara Falls and Boston.
These points are embraced in the itin-
e1ary which has been cabled by DR..
Won Holleben, the German ambassa-
dor at Washington. This program has
been submitted to Emperor William
and Prince Henry, and has been APP
proved by them. It's general outline
follows:
February %, the arrival of the
prince and his suite at New York.
February 23, official welcome to the
prince by the representative of Pres
ident Roosevelt and by the citizens of
New York.
February "a, the launching of the
yacht at Shooters island, and a din
ner to be given by Prince Henry.
February 25, reception in honor of
Prince Henry and a dinner in his
honor to be given by the mayor of
New York city, and. if consistent with
these functions, a reception by the
Press club.
February 26, the prince and his par
ty will proceed to Washington, where
the prince will reside at the German
embassy. He will exchange calls with
President Roosevelt and be enter
tanned at dinner at the White House.
February 81, the official receptions
and a dinner at the German embassy.
February %, the prince and his par

been precisely made. Cablegrams on
the subject of the program are still be-

Freight and Passenger Collide.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 27.-At Logan as
the eastbound passenger was pulling into
the depot a special eastbound freight ran
into the passenger, striking two sleeping
cars and knocking them off the track,
one sleeper being driven almost on to the
platform. The freight engine was slightly
injured. The strange part of the accident
was that no one was injured.
Both trains were coming into the Logan
depot on almost parallel lines, but fortu-
nately both were running slowly. The en-
gineer of the freight train claimed the lir
brakes would not work properly. With
the exception of the two sleepers being
rather badly smashed and some slight
damage to the freight engine, little harm
was done.

DIR. ULLAR DEFENDS RUSSIA
He Denies stories That Cars Min

Prince oukhtomslSy Has n word
to say-Denounces Stories Printed
in English Newspaper as Humbug.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 27.-An English
newspaper a few days ago printed series
of alleged stories communicated by GER
tain Dr. Alexander Ullar, which, if au-
thentic, would tend to indicate that Rus
STA instigated the Boxer movement. The
treaty concerning Manchuria, or rather the
first draft of it, giving Russia extensive
exclusive rights in Mongolia and Turke-
stan as well, was prepared by La Hung
Chang and the Russians before the Boxer
outbreak. The documents make liberal
use of the name of Prince Oukhtomsky
and that of Won Grote, who has been en-
gagged in gold mining in Mongolia with
the aid of st. Petersburg capital and
American miners and mining machinery.
ut is pure humbug and lie from be-
ginning to end, as far as l know" de-
clared Prince Oukhtomsky. Furthermore
the unpreparedness of Russia and the
losses sustained do not indicate the Rus
sian government was better informed
about the Boxers than the other powers"

Glucose and starch Trust.

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-The Tribune says:
Plans for the consolidation of the great
Glucose Sugar Refining company, the Ma
tional Starch company and several outside
plants have made such progress that large
stockholders in the glucose concern have
been asked to sign an agreement that they
will participate in the deal. This provides
that in the exchange of sureties Glucose
preferred will receive 1876 in the preferred
shares of the new corporation. Glucose
common will get 40 in the new common
stock. The capital stock of the new COM
pany will be $7O,0OO,OOO. The larger
part of it will be common stock, of which
the glucose company alone will absorb
$4O,OOOOOO with its issue. The company
will be entirely a stockholding company.

Are Against Van SAINT.

St. Paul, Mimi, Jan. pa petition
has been signed by grainmen, lumbemen
and merchants and shippers of Minneapolis
to be presented to Governor Van SAINT,
asking that the fight against the so called
merger of the Great Northern, the North

tinued. The petitioners state that it is
their belief that stability of rates can be
had and believe that the Northern Securi-
ties company will secure this for them.
Not only will the shippers of the Twin
Cities be benefited by this stability OF
rates, but all classes of shippers through
out the northwestern states will be SIM
ilarly affected, they say.

Move to Mark the Day by Services
and Contributions to Memorial


Cleveland, o., Jan. 29.-The request
by Gov. Nash of Ohio received hearty
response from the governors of all the
states and territories invited to join
in asking the people to properly OBJ
serve the 59th anniversary of the
birth of William Mckinley. Nearly
every governor either issued a pro-
clamation or semi-officially requested
that there should be memorial services
on the Sunday preceding January Goth,
in all the churches, that contribution
be there received, and that all people
testify by their voluntary offerings
their love and devotion to the dead
president. In many states, notably
Kansas, public schools held special
exercises and gave to the fund.
In any community where there was
no local auxiliary of the Mckinley
Memorial Association, contributions
by business, fraternal or labor organ
izations, schools or churches, may be
sent to the treasurer, Myron Z. Her
rick, Cleveland, Ohio. The funds will
be applied to the erection of fitting
memorial tomb to William Mckinley,
over his last resting place at Canton,
Ohio. Judge William r. Day. ex-sec-
rotary of state, is president of the
association.

PREPARING BILLS
FOR LEGISLATURE
From Eighty to One Hundred
Bills Embodyins New Laws
to be Presented.

CHIEF Justice Frear is hard at work
upon a revision of the laws of the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, which will be pre-
sented to the Legislature for action
in February, in the form of from
eighty to one hundred separate bills
with a recommendation for their adop-
ton. The need of an entire revision
of both the criminal and civil laws
OF the Hawaiian Islands has been very
apparent since the Organic Act went
into effect, but the failure of the last
Legislature to appoint a code conf
mission left the matter untouched with
an accompanying chaos which has had
the courts at skies and sevens for the
past two years.
Chief Justice Frear is now preparing
his biennial report to be submitted by
Governor Dole to the Legislature, and
the suggested new laws, and changes
in the old ones will be supplementary
to this report. There will also be
important recommendations as to
changes in court practice, in method OF
procedure, and as to appropriations
all of which subjects are in earnest

Numerous changes are required III

which are null and void, others Of

Organic Act played havoc with the
laws of the Territory and the Legis-
lature in the past often passed new
laws without regard to those already
on the statute books. Criminal and
civil laws are alike defective and there
must be many amendments to existing
laws, as well as new laws added.

made by the clamshell bucket, and there
was no regularity of the excavation at
all. It was only after long and tire
some experiment that Capt. Parker got
ibis machine in shape for undertaking
the work with a great degree of surety
[ of performance. This was after the
hard southern blow of a few weeks past
when the larger dredger was lost. The
smaller machine was then hauled out
| to the channel, in a wind which was
from the northeast, and work was be-
gun in earnest.
The receiving scows had been found
| tight and the pumping went on without
| interruption for a week during which
there was taken out a total of 1l.H0o
yards of material. Then the wind shift
ed to the southerly and again the
dredge had to seek the security of Pearl
| Harbor. Finally a week ago it was
sent out again and work was resumed
! at o'clock on Tuesday last, within
thirty minutes after the anchors had
been dropped. The last report, that OF
| Monday morning told that up to Sun
day evening, or after five days of con-
/ tinuous work, there had been taken out
ininety-six scow loads of sand, or total
of more than 10000 cubic yards of sand
Taking the excavations of the first
| contractors, Clark & Henry, and the
twelve days of successful dredging Of
the present machine, there is then
something like 43, 900 yards of material
| dredged out of the channel or more
than twenty per cent of the entire
amount which must be brought up for
| the completion of the contract. The
progress means more, too, in that the
period of experiment has passed ana
| the men in charge know just what they
may expect from their machine.
| The channel which is now being cut
is $50 feet wide by thirty feet deep,
and will extend for a total distance of
ll70O feet. OF this distance there is close
/ to 400 feet now complete. This will not
constitute all the work which is to he
