DIR. HilkowitZ says he found large quanti-
ties of arsenic in the wine and traces of
the poison in the internal organs, especially
in the stomach. The chemical analyses
showed there were three and one-half
grains of arsenic TO a tumberful of wine.

gated by the Woodmen, of which society he

HI New Orleans delegates 10 the Ma
tional Manufacturers convention, headed
given other people points in methods to
be pursued to capture a convention. AS
soon as the delegation reached the town
it let everybody know what it wanted, and
since that hour no one has been permitted
TO forget what New Orleans is here for.
The members of the delegation know how
to begin such a campaign, and how to pro-
ceed, but thus far they have not given an
example of leaving off. Their process is
a combination of argument and f~ascina-
ton. Whether New Orleans wins or loses,
its delegation has made a most favorable
impression upon the people of this city.

Former Decision of the Texas Court
of Appeals Modified.

AUSTIN, Tex, April 16.-In refusing a re-
hearing in the case Of the State of Texas
against the Shippers Compress and Ware
house Company. Of Fort Worth, the Court
Of Appeals handed down an opinion in
which il withdraws its former opinion that
the antitrust act Of 1899 is unconstitutional
and now holds that only the acts OF 1889 and
1895 are unconstitutional; that the act Of
1899 does not contain the provisions exempt
ing agricultural products and live stock.
which rendered the Illinois act unconstitu-
tionaI. The court says: In the igina
opinion in disposing of this case we held
that the law Of 1893. creating and defining
trusts. illegal combinations and monopOlies.
was unconstitutional Upon reconsideration.
we have concluded that this statute was
not involved in the case before MS, and all

OF the statute laws OF 1889 are withdrawn
and no opinion Is expressed by a quorum

The statements which are being made in
Washington Of cruelties to Filipinos by
soldiers under General Smith are not yet
verified. Experience should lead to eau

tigation. Fortunately the truth or falslty
of these reports can be ascertained, and
the President has already ordered an in
vestigs ton. 1t should not be forgotten
hat these neil who are alleged TO have

DEBATE IN THE DEPUTIES.
Discussion of the Revision Question
Not Exciting as Expected.

BRUSSELS, April 16.-The diplomatic.
private and public galleries Of the Chamber
of Representatives were filled TO their ca
pacity to-day when the debate on the pro-
posed revision of the Constitution began.
NJ. Bernaert. the former president of the
chamber and secretary Of state, opened
the discussion. He was frequently inter
rupted by NJ. Van der Velde, the Socialist
leader, with shouts of Universal suffrage
is supreme NJ. Bernaert said that the
present Belgian electoral system was salts
factory. He referred to the numerous So
cial laws passed during the last fifteen
years at the behest OF the Socialists and
said the latter's sole recognition or the
passage Of these laws was the declaration
of a general strike, accompanied by threats
Of violence.
After the speech of NJ. Bernaert and a
speech delivered by NJ. Fernon, Progressist,
which monopolized the entire session and
fell very fat, the opening day OF the great
debate on the proposed revision OF the Con-
stitution ended in what was almost a nasco.
The member were evidently waiting Tor
the delivery of the speeches OF the Social
lists and Liberal leaders. and the response
Of the premier, NJ. De Smet de Mayor, to-
morrow and Friday, when IL Is expected A
vote will be taken which will instil life
into the parliamentary proceedings.
The promised great demonstrations IN the
streets on the adjournment or the chamber
dwindled to the appearance OF two hundred
persons. who accompanied the Socialist
deputies TO the Office Of their organ lie
Peuple. where NJ. Van der Nelde from a
window addressed the crowd. He said the
DAYS proceedings in the chamber had not
modified the situation and the government
was still recalcitrant and had shifted the
responsibility for the dissolution OF Tar
lament. which the revislonists would de-
mand il the hambe rejects the proposal
10 revise the Constitution, on the King,
who thus far has been silent.
The collapse OF the proposed demonstra-
ton was traceable TO the drenching rain and
overwhelming precautions taken by the po-
lice. which seem to place further serious
disturbances in Brussels out OF the ques-
ton. A feeling IL gaining ground that the
government will entirely reject the proposed
revision of the Constitution.

The Journal fully indorses the remark OF
Mr.. John +. White at a meeting
10 the effect that economic questions affect
ing the welfare Of the city should be con-
sidered outside OF politics. If such ques-
tions could have been considered as plain
business propositions the past twenty
years Indianapolis would be much better
of in some respects. II more meetings like
those which have been held TO consider the
all municipal topics citizens would not
only know more about such matters, but a
deeper interest would be taken in them.
