REEVES REMOVED TO JAIL.
Under Law He Cannot Be Allowed to
 Make Bond.

Havana, March 26.AW. H. Reeves was also removed to jail today on an order of arrest. He was formerly dep uty chief of the Cuban postoffice de- partment, and was sentenced With Rathbone and c. F. W. Nicely, March "A, to ten years imprisonment and to pay a fine of $35,516 for misappropria- tion of postal funds.
 Neither Rathbone nor Reeves has the option of bail. This is because their sentences are for more than six years duration. Although the law in certain circumstances permits the ae- ceptance of bail until the sentence shall be finally executed, the court holds that there are no circumstances in the present cases to warrant the acceptance of bail,
 Under the Spanish law the court is allowed to accept bail when the ac- oused has a good record, when there Is no reason to suppose that he will attempt to escape justice, when the crime with which he is charged does not produce alarm, and when it is not of constance occurrence in the prov ince.
 Counsel for Rathhone and Nicely will appeal the cases of their clients. Rathbone's former bond of $25, ,000 is cancelled by the fact that he has been put in prison. Reeves bond amounted to only $1500

 Mir. Hit of Illinois, chairman Of the foreign affairs committee, replied very briefly to Mr. Burleson. Everything MT Burleson had produced he said. had been presented before. As far as the charge or "evasien" on the part of the Secretary or State was concerned, he said that the secretary's frank letter completely dis posed of that He had done all he could and was now in consultation with Cover nor Yates, through whose instrumentalty the Boer fund had been raised and no doubt a way would be found to get the relief funds to the Boers. The epithets and vituperation of the gentleman ne said, he would not reply to, but he called attention to the fact that the American government had offered mediation, and would do so again if 1t were acceptable.

AsPHYxIATED HIMSELF.
Explosion Followed and Two Rooms
 of Hotel Are Wrecked.

Savannah, Ga., March 26,-An explosion of gas in the Screven hotel tonight wrecked two rooms of that building and the firemen who responded to the alarm of fire discovered In one of the ruined rooms the body of man which letters showed to be that of w. P Hankinson of Ellenton s, c.
 This evening a porter of the hotel de- teeted gas escaping. from Hankinson's room, but upon attempting to enter the room found that the door was locked on the inside, The porter climbed on ta- ble and reached the transora above the door and pushed 1t open. The room was dark inside and the porter struck match. Instantly there was an explosion and the room and the one adjoining were wrecked. The dead body of Hankinsan was afterwards found lying on one of the beds in the room. The tip from the gas burner was unserewed, and it is sup posed that after taking morphine, Han kinson had turned the gas on full.

OTHER TRIALS TO FOLLOW.
David L. Short and MorHs Meyer to Be
 Tried Soon.

New York, March 2e.-The eases of David L. Short and Morris Meyers. the witnesses to Patricks will. who testified for him at the preliminary hearing before Justice Jerome and were indicted for per- jury as a result of their testimony. will probably be brought to trial in about ten days.
 What disposition will be made of Charles F. Jones' the former valet sec retary of Millionaire Rice, who confessed on the stand that he placed chioroform- ed sponge in a cone over his sleeping em- ployer's face, no one connected with the district attorneys office would say to- night. Jones Is not under indictment for murder and so far as Is known IS not under indictment for forgery or con- spiracy. He testified on the witness stand that he expected to receive some immunity for his confession. Pressed by MT. Moore that he had been promised absolute i'm munity, he denied that this was so. Since cutting his throat in an attempt to kill himself in the Tombs Jones. under the constant surveillance of police officers has resided at a private boarding house up town with the exception of brief time in the house of detention, where he tried to slash himself to death.
 The cost of the prosecution and con- viction of Patrick will amount to thous- ands, the only estimate that could be ob- tained from any one connected with the district attorneys office being perhaps $50 900 or more.

MR. J. A. mAoKNlohT REkIEVEs sTATE SHOULD ENCOURAGE FARMERs IN A FINANCIAL WAY. coNDlTloNs FAVORABLE.

Prospects seem bright for the develop ment in Alabama of silk-raiHing indus try which will mean millions of dollars to the farmers and will greatly increase the commercial importance of the state, besides adding much to the revenues.
 Recently an article appeared in the Age Herald which showed that planting and raising the white mulberry for food for the silk worm would be profitable The arr ticle also called attention to a company which was recently organized in New York for the purpose of introducing the silk industry in the south. The company proposes to purchase land. plant trees, and give certain portions of the land to farmers to raise silk. Their products will be bought by the company at the regular market prices,
 Mir. J. A. Mcknight of South Calera sends the following to the Age-Herald, pointing out the advantages of the silk industry and suggesting how 1t might be started:
 To the Editor of the Age-Herald;
 Your recent article on the possibilities of silk culture in Alabama and in the south generally was of unusual interest and value. The subject should attract the attention and lead to acton in almost every county of this state for 1t is un- doubtedly true that silk culture could be successfully and proftably carried on in almost every portion of Alabama, I was impressed with this fact when came here few years ago. l found the mulberry growing wild all through central Alabama, and later on I ascertained that 1t was no less hardy and luxuriant in It's growth in Limestone County. at the ex- treme north of the state, and in Baldwin County on the gulf.
 Having studied and observed the produc- ton of raw silk in France and Italy, I am convinced that the climatic and other conditions here are not less favorable than in those countries, and that all that is necessary to render silk production one of the great money resources of Alabama is to establish the white mulberry or chards and have the people taught the care of the worms. Even if this were done on a small scale at first by the state agri- cultural department, 1t would soon lead to important results. It Is part of my splan to plant a commercial orchard of the mulberry trees here and begin silk cul- ture on my own account on a small scale. Some of the mulberry trees growing here aboutS are as much as fifty feet in height and fifteen inches in diameter. Owing to the fact that they are equal or superior in lasting qualities to the finest cedar they are used by the people for fence posts and In this way are being extermin- ated. I find that many of these are the

CHORUS GIRLS WANT UNION.
Call On President oompers and Apply
 for a Charter.

Cincinnati, March 26.-President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor is today hearing evidence concern ing the brewery lockout of Cincinnati, Covington and Newport. The United Brewery Workmen have charged the lo- cal Brotherhoor of Engineers and Fire men with conspiracy to wreck their or ganizatsop because the latter have refus- ed to amalgamate with the other work men about the breweries and persist in making their own contracts with the pro- prtetors without cooperating with other brewery workers. As the question of the autonomy of all the different labor organizations is involved nearly all the national officers of unions and brother hoods are represented here watching the course of events which may result in an important precedent.
 During recess Miss Geralda Malone of San Francisco Miss Ruby Payne of New York, and Miss Sallie Fisher of Salt Lake City. made application to President Gom- pers for a union of chorus girls.

BRIGHT PROSPECT
 FOR J. C.V REUNION
General Moorman Is Greatly
 Pleased Over Outlook
ARRANGEMENTS PERFECTED
Dining Room and Culinary Arrange ments Jusslfy Assertion That 26oo Veterans Cen Be Seated to
 Meals-Lodglna Free.

Dallas. Tex. March se--0en. 0eorge Moorman. adjutant general and chief of stan of Gen. John B, Gordon. who is here in the interest of the United Confederate Veterans to make an inspection and ar range details with the reunion commit tee gave out the following statement to- night:
 Realizing from the letters and tele- grams received at headquarters and from all indications that the attendance at the Dallas reunion would be very much larger than at first anticipated. as 1t has been my custom and was the desire of the reunion committee, I decided as the representative of General Gordon to visit Dallas to make an inspection of the plans and arrangements made by the reunion committee for the comfort, entertainment and pleasure of the old veterans.
 T have made a careful examination and find everything perfect even to the smallest details, and all of the work and every arrangement in such an advanced state of preparation as to insure the com- pletion of all buildings and everything necessary long before the opening of the reunion on April 22.
 'grhe splendid reunion committee, of which Col. c. c. Slaughter Is president and Gen. c. L. Martin Is secretary, are all working tremendously, periodically and with a singleness of purpose to see that the old veterans occupy the places of honor and are we'll cared for and made comfortable and happy during their stay in Dallas.
 ''The reunion commit tee announce-and I find their dining hall and culinary ar rangemerts fully justify their assertion that their tables will seat 25OO veterans at one time; that they will lodge free all who desire 1t. in tents and buildings at the Fair Grounds, where the reunion will be held and will also feed there free every vet whether rich or poor, giv- ing them buffalo meat the last day for dinner.
 'Their arrangements are so complete and so perfect that they can serve 36,0oo free meals per day.
 'sDallas is fully aroused. and enthusias- tio preparations are being made to enter tain the veterans, their families and friends, and all visitors, and good lodg- ing can be obtained in the city for 50 cents to H per day, No hotel rates have been or will be advanced

TOBACCO FIGHT CONTINUES.
Agent of the Trust Wants Support of
 British Wholesale Men.

London, March 26.-The local represent atiYe of the American Tobacco Company took an important step this morning to- ward gaining the support of the whole sale dealers, practically promising the latter 5 per cent profit on all deals with them.
 The chairman of the Wholesale Tobac- co Dealers Association says that unless the Imperial Tobacco Company meet them in a similar spirit there will be a bad outlook for the British tobacco trust
 A rumor is again in circulation here that J. B. Duke, president of the Ameri- can Tobacco Company, is negotiating with the French government with the view of taking over its tobacco monopoly The American, is is said, offers to deposit a sum guaranteeing for five years a profit considerably in excess of the present re- turns.
 A rumor to the same effect was in cir culation early in January of the present year.

manner on the stand, his apparent capa- city to remember details, his admission that he made previous statements that were untrue and his apparent frankness of telling in his own part of treacher- ous murder. Then you will ask your selves was he actuated by a motive to sacrifice Patrick to save himself. If so why did he select Patrick?
 "The prosecution claims" the recorder went on, ito have traced to the posses sion of the defendant the general assign ment and other alleged documents. If you believe what has been proven, l charge that you hold that the failure of the q. fendant to prove, hold those papers may be taken as evidence that If pro- duced 1t would be harmful to the defense. The Recorder said further that If the jury believe that if mercury or other poison had been given to Rice for the purpose of hastening his death they might take that into consideration his weakened power of resisting chloroform.
 If the charge" the recorder summ ed up points to one and only one end. if you cannot reconcile it to the defend- ants innocence, circumstantial though 1t may be, you are bound by your paths to find a verdict upon 1t as If 1t were direct evidence"
 
 In his charge upon the evidence given by the handwriting experts the recorder said the fact that it Is recognized by the law was sufficient to demand for 1t just and due consideration. He reminded the jury that the doctors who made the au- topsy on MT. Rice's body and the an- alysis of the intestines had testified to what they actually saw or found, while the medical experts called by both sides only gave opinions on the facts described to them. Recorder Golf charged the jury to disregard the fact that Patrick was under indictment for forgery.
 When the recorder finished his charge he took up forty-four requests to charge presented to him by the defense, He said he had covered many of them in his charge and that he would charge fifteen of the forty-four submitted Most of them referred to the credibiiity of wit nesses who had been contradicted or who were interested witnesses.
 Great stress was laid upon the contra dictory statements of Jones' The recorder charged, as requested by the defense, that even if the jury believed, there was a con- spiracy, they were still bound to receive Jones story of murder with great pre- caution He also charged that if the jury found the will of 1900 genuine. they must find that the prosecution had failed to show any motive for the crime, and that Short and Meyer, who testified that the will was genuine, must not be dis credited because they are friends and business associates of Patrick
 When he was through with the requests he turned to the jury and again ex- plained the legal meaning of reasonable doubt"
 You are the general responsible" he said in conclusion. ''You are the judges of the facts. You are to reach a judg- ment dictated by your conscience, no matter what results. I trust that in the crucial moment you will remember the responsibilities with which you are

London. March N.-The Daily Mail to- day declares that negotiations are on foot for the formation of gigantic iron com binations fin Europe, the object of which is to keep up prices. These negotiations were initiated by the British Iron Mas ters.
 In view of the American demand for big iron and steel continues the Daily Mail. there are many difficulties in the way of the formation of such a combination, and the matter has not yet developed. Accord ing to dispatch to the Daily Mail from Brussels, the principal Belgian and Ger man firms are not inclined to the com bination. because the fall in prices en- ables them to compete in the American market.
