Philadelphia, Feb. 17.-Herbert
Wright was arraigned before Judge
Arnold on the charge of taking laud-
anum with suicidal intent. Wright
pleaded guilty to attempting suicide,
but not with intent to kill myself"
In dismissing the case, Judge Arnold
said he doubted if there is such an
offense in this country as attempted
suicide. The law emanated, he said,
from courts where there were kings
and emperors, who adopted the the
DRY that it was wrong for q man to
kill himself and thus reduce the num-
Der of the kings subjects. The judge
added that mans life belonged to
himself and his Creator, and he did
not know but that the man had the
right to kill himself if he 90 desired.

OPPOSES HIS POLICY.
Bitter Attack on Secretary Hay by
Congressman Wheeler.
He Says the State Department Has Hamili-
aeed the American People by the Con-
tsmplated Participation In the Cor
onation of King Edward.

Washington, Feb. 15.-During the
debate on the pension bill in the
house Friday, Mr.. Wheeler (dem. Ky.)
created a sensation by q speech de-
nouncing the attitude of the admin
istration and the state department
in connection with what he termed
the recent exposure of the attitude
of Great Britain" toward the United
States Mr.. Wheeler excoriated what
he termed the modern disposition to-
ward European flunkeyism." Less
than five years ago, he declared,
president legged on by the pitiable
turnkey in the state department" had
stretched his arms across the seas in
adulation to the people of Great Brit
ain and to-day the government was
hugging to its bosom a nation that
since the battle of Yorktown had
Systematically and persistently plot
ted our downfall. He sneered at the
"shoulder-strapped gold-lace funk
eys" who were to be dispatched across
the Atlantic to bend the knee to and
kiss the hand of the English king
whose government, he declared, had
attempted to form a coalition of Eu
ropean governments to thwart us
while we were seeking to strike the
shackles from Cuba. He said he re-
spected the present occupant of the
white house. He was, he said, too
straightforward for many of his par
ty colleagues, slightly Quixotic, per-
haps, and hasty-tempered, but hon
est and brave enough he thought to
"boot out that man in the state de-
partment who had brought us to this
humiliating position"
The whole house was aroused by
Mr.. Wheeler's philippe. Several times
the democratic side burst into ap-
plause. Mr.. Boutelle Qll) vigorously
defended the head of the state depart
ment. No man in recent years had re-
flected such credit upon our diplomat
ic affairs as he. He referred especial
" to the Chinese crisis and said his
acts throughout that time had won
the commentator of the world. MI.
Boutelle said he could not sit silent
while such an attack was made upon
man who had shed lustre upon our
diplomacy.

CHAPTER XIII.
In Durance Vile.

Perhaps half an hour had elapsed,
when the stout Teuton merchant raised
his head and with eager eyes surveyed
the corner where Paul was sprawled
out asleep.
Convinced that everything was pro-
pitous. he gave the foot of the young
er tourist sudden kick that brought
the scholar erect at once.
The merchant pointed and grinned,
whereupon the other arose and ap-
preached Paul who still slept on, ut
terly unconscious of impending woe.
They seized upon the American.
Paul struggled desperately-alas! he
was taken at such disadvantage that
he found himself almost powerless
against these men. M
One had a knee upon his chest and
was choking him, while the other
gathered his hands together and pro-
ceeded to tie them In 4 most ignomi-
nious fashion.
When this had been accomplished
they suffered Paul to rise, which he
did with alacrity. at the same time
demanding to know what such an In
dignity meant, and threatening them
with all manner of punishment when
their destination was reached.
But all that had no effect, SO Paul
lay back In his corner and thought.
Again that laugh in the adjoin-
ing compartment

had heard that CHEEKY sound before.
1t was the English surgeon who had

and whose words of genuine sympathy

Briton do to the pretended keepers
