AFFAIRS IN AUSTRALIA.
Early Resignation Of the Federal
Premier Expected.

SYDNEY Correspondence Of the New York Times
1t is very doubtful If the federal
prime minister, Edmund Barton, Will
long retain office. He has been invited 10
attend the coronation ceremony In LONDON
and It is understood that should there be no
previous change Of ministry he will resign
the premiership before returning to Aus
tralia. in order to assume the ONCE OF
federal chief Justice or federal high COM
missioner. He would probably be succeeded
by Alfred Deaken, an able man and a
strong protectionist. He is Victorian
and was regarded as one Of the abest men,
bers of the parliament of that state
Perhaps the greatest difficulty with which
both the federal premier and the leader OF
the federal opposition will have to contend
with in the near future Is the growing
power Of the federal labor party. In no
part OF the world do the labor unions exer.
else such a large amount Of direct political
influence as in Australia. They hold the
balance of power in the federal and most
Of the state pariiaments, and, although re p
resenting only q minority, exercise as Ges-
potic q sway as IL they had the ma jority
behind them. They have established an or

League" the. leading members Of which are

RAPID PURSUIT.
Officers Go on Special Engine to Make
Arrest.

Arrest.
An energetic though unusual mode OF
procedure upon the part Of local police Of
ficers resulted yesterday in the arrest by
officers A. w. Green and John Foster Of
the Anacostia force, with the assistance of
Yardmaster Young of the Anacostia freight
yards. of David Mulchy. who was making
residents of Twining City uneasy by his
presence about the village early in the day.
He snatched cap from the head OF Harry
Skidmore, a school boy Of Twining City,
and then started to run up the steam rail-
road tracks toward the Anacostia freight
yards. He was pursued by officer Green
on horseback and by Officer Foster on
foot, but he had too good a start on the
policemen to be Oyertaken, and as the OFF,
GERS hove In sight he boarded freight
train just pulling out for Baltimore.
The policemen were determined not to be
balked, however, and they at once went to
the office Of Yardmaster w. B. Young, not
far away and related the occurrence to
him. The yardmaster Immediately tele-
graphed ahead to have the train stopped at
Benning. He then ordered out special
engine which the officers boarded, and on
which they made a fast run to BenninS
In the meantime the train had been stop
ped at that point. although Mulchy was not
molested until the extra engine came up
the line when he was exceedingly surprised
to find himself taken in hand by the two offi-
GERS he had eluded but short time before
at Twining City. He was brought back to
Twining City on the engine by the Officers,
who called the wagon from No. 3 station
and conveyed him there.
Mulchy was charged with vagrancy in
the Police Court today and was released
on his personal bonds.

Expert Physicians Testify for
the Defense.
DIR. LEUF A WITNESS
HE THOUGHT RICE DIED OF
NATURAL CAUSES
Mr.. Osborne Called Attention to For.
mer Statements Contradicting
Present Evidence.

NEW YORK. March 13-Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Osborne resumed the cross
examination of DR.. John H. Girdner TODAY
in the trial of Albert t. Patrick, accused
Of the murder OF VIM. NJ. Rice. Mr. Os-
borne described the medical history or
Rices case, from the prosecution point
of view and asked the witness If, under
the conditions existing at IL am, as toid
by the attending physician, something must
not have intervened TO cause Rice's death
at s o'clock in the evening.
There was quite sufficient evidence of
oedema of the lungs at that time, DR..
Girdner replied, Ito account for the death
without anything Intervening
DR.. Alexander c. Leuf of Philadelphia,
an expert in diseases of the lungs, was
then called.
DR.. Leuf's Testimony.
Mr.. Moore described the chloroforminS
OF Mr.. Rice, as recounted by Jones, and
asked DR.. Leuf If 1t could have been ac-
complished without waking the patient.
DIR. Leuf said he thought not. He had
never been able to administer chloroform
to sleeping patient. Mr. Moore produced a
life-sized colored figure of the human body,
showing the action of the blood, and DR.
Leuf described the circulation of the blood
and the manner in which it was forced into
and out of the heart and lungs. He Illus
trated 10 the jury how chloroform kills by
paralyZng the centerS of respiration and
by paralyZing the action of the heart. DIR.
I.euf said it was his opinion that Rice died
because of bad condition of his Kidneys
and secondarily, be cause of the lung con-
ditionS. He did not think death was due to
chloroform poisoning.
In answer to Mr. Osborne DR.. Leuf said
acute coeXtensive congestion of the lungs
was disease by itself. The witness pub
liShed book about it in 1880. Mr.. Os-
borne read from this book, Which described
invariable symptoms of the disease in
question-symptoms which the prosecuting
attorney said were not disclosed in the au-
topsy on Mr.. Rices body.
Modified Former Statements.
DIR. Leuf said the statements were true
when he made them, but experience had
taught him that some of those statements
must be modified. The recorder asked If,
In view of his later experience, he had made
any public correction or modifca ton of the
articles he wrote on acute pulmonary con-
gestion. DIR. Leuf said he had not beyond
talking about what he had learned with his
associates.
Mr. Osborne wanted to make test with
a towel and choloform to determine how
long the odor of the drug would continue
perceptible, but the recorder oyerruled the
request.

FAVOR CORLISS BILL
GROCERS APPEAR BEFORE COM
MITTEE ON COMMERCE.
President Scherer of National Associa
ton Tells Why They Oppose
Hepburn Act.

| Mr. George A. Scherer, resident of the
| National Retail Grocers' Association, re-
sumed his argument in favor of the Corliss
pure food bill before the House committee
on commerce today.
He argued that from the operation Of the
| Illinois state food law fair idea might be
| obtained of how bill regulating labels of
goods would operate, as proposed by the
Hepburn BILL He gave illustrations of what
he meant by saying that he had been sell
ing certain brand of jelly for many years
in his store. The Illinois food inspector re-
Gently examined the jelly and sent out an
order that as it contained glucose it should
be marked "adulterated."
Il had to put posters over the label con-
tanning this word,' he continued. and
those goods have not been sold since"
A brand of condensed cream was also
mentioned, on which he was obliged to
paste the word milk" and which also
could not be sold afterward
Questioned by Mr.. Hepburn.
Chairman Hepburn asked if this result
would follow If goods were labeled simply
showing their contents. The answer was
that it would enable purchasers to COM
pare their goods and would thus destroy
or make of no effect the good name or es-
tablished reputation of an old firm. This
reputation or STANDING WAS the real Cdpl-
tai of the retail grocer.
The principal objection to the Hepburn
bill. which Mr.. Scherer said the grocers
were against. was the penalty clause. In
Illinois since the pure food law had been in
operation nine to one Of those convicted
of q misdemeanor under it were entirely
innocent. Besides this it was nearly as
bad on the business of a grocer to be ar
rested as convicted. He declared that If
the general government should promulgate
a law similar to the Illinois law 1t would
simply be putting mill into operation to
turn out millions of technical criminals
who would be entirely innocent Of any
criminal intent
Scherer and Miller Talk.
Mr. Cooms of Colorado wanted to know
ii the National Retail Grocers Association
was not inspired in it's advocacy of the
Coriss bill simply by desire to meet and
oppose the Hepburn bill. Mr.. Scherer de-
MED this. He said his association had been
an advocate of pure food legislation as soon
as it was organized.
Chairman Hepburn took Mr.. Scherer in
hand and questioned him closely as to just
how far the grocers wanted pure food legis-
| lation.
1T would SEEM" he continued, that
they want the very minimum of legisla
tion, and which shall contain absolutely
| no prohibition or penalty against selling
| impure foods"
Mr. Scherer replied that in the opinion
| os grocers a provision for the condemna-
| tion of deleterious foods by government
| inspector would provide all the protection
necessary.
J. D. Miller Of Geneva, H.. representing
| Sprague. Warner & Co. wholesale grocers
of Chicago, and also the commercial ex-
| change of Chicago, simply introduced his
| argument in favor of the Corliss bill be-
| fore the committee took a recess until to-
| morrow.
