sentence of the arraignment ':being
moved and seduced thereto by the in
stigation of the DEVIL commenced to-
day before the lord chief justice, Lord
Alverstone and two other Justices. The
prisoner pleaded not guilty.
Upwards of sixty years have elapsed
since a treason trial has been held in
London The last was that of John Fran
els, youth who fired a pistol at, the late
Queen Victoria as she was riding down
Constitution hill. Francis was condemned
to death but the sentence was committed
to imprisonment for life. He was re-
leased in 1867. Unusual interest. there
fore, is taken in the present case. The
court room was crowded, many ladies',
including Mrs. Lynch, being among these
present. .-- ~.
Colonel Lynch was pale and careworn
but he stood in the dock composedly
listening to the lengthy Indictment which
occupied nearly an hour in reading.
Drawing, quartering and beheading ac-
compared the death penalty for treason
until 1870, when this was abolished. The
death penalty, however, remains.
The attorney general, Sir Robert Fin
lay, opened the case, reciting the alleged
reasonable acts, as fully reported at the
preliminary hearing.

Washington Jan. s21.-The secretary Of

Ebrough, chairman Of the public lands COM
mittee Of the senate, that he approved the
bill providing for the leasing Of public

New York Sun Special Service.
New Haven, Conn.,, JAN 21.-Dr. J. F.
Workman Of Yale last night outlined his
theory Of the origin of human life in a
lecture in which he reviewed his re-
searches covering years, upsetting both
orthodox and former scientific beliefs.
He advocated three distinct theories more
or less revolutionary: T.
First-An life began at the north pole
Second-The primates, including apes, monkeys
and .lemurs, who lived atgthe time, were directly
the ancestors of the human race. r 9> l.
Third-The evolution Of the primates to hui
han beings took place at the same time, and
largely because of the effect Of the discovery Of
fire.
DR.. Workman two years ago took UP the
Investigations Of the late Professor Marsh
in paleontology and visited Wyoming
where he discovered perfect skulls OF
primates similar to those found In north
ern Europe and Madagascar His theory
is that these were In the tropical zone
extending around the north pole, as sim

COAL PRICE IS GR0GGY
Signs of Rush to Cover by the In
Experimentation Markle
r. Cutting. IT,.

New York, Jan. 21.-signs of rush to
cover on the part Of independent opera
tors and their agents are becoming ap.
parent in the local coal market, and
though these operators are doing all in
their power to maintain the present level
Of prices. it Is whispered there are sew
eral deserters from the ranks, who are
seeking safety by selling at lower fig
ures. Operators do not hesitate to admit
that the price Of coal now depends prin-
cipally on the thermometer, and only a
cold snap can prevent a gradual decline.
With a mild spell the Independents will
be faced by the danger Of being left
with large supplies which no one will
buy, and their only escape from the pre-
sdicament will be substantial cut In fig
ures, and that this reduction will come
within a. week is confidently predicted
It is reported that John Markle has beer
selling his coal at figure far below the
SO rate on which the independent opera
tors had agreed.
