HIS BEST WITNESS.
A Man Accused of Murder Expects To
Prove an abb by Means of Pho-
nj

Chicago, Jan. ga Photographic
record of a story, which he says he
told, is what Louis Thoms. under ar.
rest on charge of having murdered
Minnie Larson during the night of
December 30, was advanced yester.
day as proof that he was not on the
steamer Peerless the night the girl
is said to have been slain and her
weighted body sunk in the river.
He declared that he spent most of
the night with friends and that Al
bert Ristau, one OF the party, had
phonograph into which they all
talked. Ristau confirmed Thoms'
story, but it was stated that the
record of Thoms' story had been
broken, as well as two others. 1t is
said to be possible that the wax
cylinder, which Thoms said was his
best witness to prove an alibi, may
be patched up sufficiently to show
the truth or falsity of Thoms' story.

BALKED ONCE MORE.
The Free Traders RelinGuisb All
Hope of IA Successful Assault
on Protection.

The democratic newspapers have
abandoned for the time being their
attempt to bring about a revision of
the tariff at the present session OF con-
gress. They have, moreover, lost IN
terest in the question of reciproc =.
This is because they have st,a a
new light. When the late Pres!jelT
Mckinley made his last speech, a the
Pan-American exposition, in Buffalo,
the free traders thought they saw
chance to drive an entering wCG@c.
They twisted what Mr.. Mckinley said
into a declaration of free trade, and
his statement that duties which we're
no longer needed for purposes of pro-
lection might be remitted was taken
by them as evidence that he was TT aGy
10 bandon the entire protection the
DRY. Following up what they sad
about the late president, they tried to
make it appear that President RoOse-
velt's St. Paul speech was a declara ton
in favor of free trade. Then they were
encouraged to believe that successful
assault on protection could be made
this winter. They think so no longer
says the Cleveland Leader.
President Roosevelt's fiat-footed dec
laration in favor of protection in his
message, and his further statement
that reciprocity could only be encour-
aged when it is regarded as the hand
maiden of protection has opened the
eyes of the free traders. They now
see that it is idle to hope for tariff
legislation at this session of congress,
and it will not be surprising if the
democrats in the senate line up in
opposition to the ratification of the
reciprocity treaties that are swaiting
action by that body. That would be
characteristically democratic and moth
ing else can be expected.
EIThe opponents of ship subsidies
are not inclined even to try to answer
Senator Hanna's two arguments in ia
vor of the system. The first of these
is that American merchants are pay
ing annually into the pockets of for
eign shipowners the enormous sum of
5000, 100000, which should be kept at
home. The second argument is that
European countries are now paying
$2S 100000 year in subsidies and are
receiving value for their money. so
that there is no thought of abplishing
the system. OF course there are plenty
of other arguments in favor of the
subsidy project. But these two are
sufficient to confound the opposition.

ENGLAND'S NO.

London, Feb. 5.-The proposals of
the Netherlands government to Eng
land were published late Tuesday af-
ternoon. Holland proposed that the
Boer delegates now in that country
should receive free conduct to South
Africa to negotiate with command
ants in the field. The British govern
ment acknowledged the humanitarian
feelings which had prompted the
Dutch government to make its pro
posal, but declined to comply with the
request, on the ground that there was
no assurance hat the Boer delegates
in Holland had authority to act.
The reply of the Marquis of Lans-
downe to the Dutch government con
cludes as follows:
"In these circumstances this govern
ment has decided that if the Boer
leaders desire to enter into negotiations
for the purpose of bringing the war
to an end these negotiations must take
place not III Europe, but in South At
RIGA. 1t should be borne in mind that
if delegates are to occupy time in Wis
iting South Africa, in consulting with
the Boer leaders in the field and i'll
returning to Europe for the purpose
of making known the results of their
errand, a period of at least three
months must elapse, during which
hostilities would be prolonged and
much human suffering perhaps need
lessly occasioned.
"lf the British government agreed
to that proposal the Queens govern
ment would have to inquire whether
the Boer delegates were willing to
proceed to South Africa and deliber-
ate with their leaders on the spot, re.
turning to Europe after a fixed stay OF
say IA fortnight armed with adequate
and full powers providing for all
e~ventualities and authorizing them tC
conclude "A treaty of peace which
would be absolutely binding on the
Beers in Europe and South Africa.
I'm the event of the British govern
ment consenting it would be neces
sary for England to hand to the Meth
erlands government three safe con
ducts permitting the delegates to pro
coed freely to South Africa, to remain
there freely for the time agreed upol
and to return freely"
