court has already taken the evidence Of
5G6 witnesses. One of the leading coun-
sci, Mr.. Shanihoif. handed his brief to a

briefs and that the prosecuting counsel
were expected to do likewise. because of
the alleged refusal of the court TO in
terrupt the trial and undertake a fresh
investigation in order to dis
cover the real culprits.
Reports from Kishineff say that the

judges visiting the scenes of the outrages
in the company of counsel for both sides,
The other trials in connection with the
massacre have been postponed until

Nearly all in the Six Days Race Show
Effects of Terrific Strain.
Bv the Associated Press.)


New York, Dec. 9.-Nearly all the
riders in the six day race at Madison
Square Garden showed evidence of the
strain when daylight came today.
The sole topic of discussion in the camps
of the riders was the show of pluck made
by c. D. Barclay, who, rather than break
his contract with the management, CON
tinued to ride while suffering from a
broken left rib and numberless bruises
which he received in fall shortly before
midnight. Barclays pain was so great
that he could not reach out his hand to
take foot from his trainers while riding.
His helpers announced without any at
tempt at concealment that they had given
him large doses of what they termed dope
before he returned to the track. Franz
Krebs did all he could to relieve his part
ner, Barclay, by returning to the track
frequently This rapidly Slapped his
strength and he, too, was forced to lose
some laps.
The score at midnight stood: Leander
and Butler, Walthour and Monroe, New
kirk and Jacobson, Bedell Brothers, Con-
tenet and Breton, Bowler and Fisher,
Root and Dorian, Krebs and Peterson,
1859 miles, laps; Keegan and Moran,

stuyft, 1888 miles, 8 laps; Gougolz and
K~ebs, 1851 miles, laps; Dove and

Delegates were present from the Presby-

The subject of union was brought be-
fore the meeting in an informal inter
change of views, followed by the submIs-
sion OF formal proposition from the sect

bracing ten distinct items, regarding
matters in which concessions might be
made by one or another OF the treating
bodies. This proposition was referred to

generally known as the Presbyterian
Church, South, had declined the invita-

letter was from the Rev. DR.. w. A. Alex

Of the Southern General Assembly. In
his letter Dr. Alexander said:

church expresses its fraternal regards for
the branch of the Reformed church inau-
gurating the union movement, and Its
sympathy with the spirit that desires
closer fellowship among Presbyteriaa
bodies, but declines to appoint the coEi-

two battleships, has arrived at Che
nlulpo, Coca, the port of Seoul, the CAPT

pI oposed opening OF Yongampho TO the

from Toxic is correct it would almost
certainly nullify any, negotiations, how
