WOLFE CHARGES BLAcKMAIL.
Accused Minister Says Case Against
Him is a Conspiracy.

Il
Danville, ILL.,, Oct. 3.-The defense in
the trial of the Rev. ]. b. Wolfe. of
Beardstown, on charges of immortality
and falsehood. attempted to prove that
the whole affair was a blackmailing
conspiracy, and in support of this pro-
duced letter written to the minister
from Memphis, Mo-, demanding that
500 be sent at once to e. r. Bartlett.
at Jacksonville, or the minister would
be disgraced. E. r. Bartlett Is real
estate dealer In Memphis, and he was
present yesterday as a witness for the
defense. He testified that the signature
to the letter was not his and that the
whole affair was scheme to injure him
and defame Wolfe. Further interest
ing revelations are expected.
The prosecution sprung a surprise in
the shape of charge that the Ashland
episode was not the only one in which
the defendant had figured with a wo-
man other than his wife. Counsel for
the church filed additional charge that
during the summer of 1901 Wolfe went
from Beardstown to ArenZville, a viii
lage near Beardstown, and, in company
with a woman. went to a hotel, and oc-
cupied room for several hours. The
dispositions of the landlord and other
witnesses We're submitted, declaring
that the woman was not Mrs. Wolfe nor
Wolfe's daughter. Wolfe admitted

CANADA pLANs TARIFF WAR.
Boston Paper Says Dominion and Eur
Aeo

Boston Paper Says Dominion and Eur
ope Are in League.
Boston, Oct. 3.-The Boston Adver-
tiser today says that Canada and Ger
tain European nations have entered in
to big tariff league to destroy Ameri-
can trade. The paper says: The
Canadian governments chief support
sers are pledged to support protective
tariff bill, chiefly directed against New
England Leading cabinet ministers adj
mitted last night that they would prob
ably support such a measure, and that
they expected Premier Laurier to sup-
port 1T.
Israel Tarte of the cabinet admits
publicly that he has made up such a
measure to lay before the next session
of the Canadian parliament. A special
dispatch from Ottawa says: "A state
ment can be made positively to night
on the best possible authority that Sir
Wilfrid Laurier has made definite ar
rangements with France and Italy
looking toward special tariff arrange
ment which will take the place of the
treaties which Canada, France and Italy
tried to arrange with the United States
on reciprocity" basis.
1T can be stated by authority that
the Canadian government, discouraged
by the refusal of the United states
senate committee on foreign affairs to-
even consider the idea Of a reciprocity
treaty between the United States and
Canada, has made up its mind to adopt
new policy"
