BERLIN, Feb. 2~s.-Emperor William has
instructed Minister Won Sternburg to inform
President Roosevelt that the statue OF
Frederick the Great will not be sent to the
United States until the spring Of 1904.
The emperor's reasons, as communicated
by the foreign once by Ambassador Tower,
are that in view Of the unfinished condition
Of the war college at Washington and the
consequent dif1culty in carrying out prop
erly the ceremonies Of unwilling the statue
under the present circumstances, and as
the emperor wishes to avoid an interval
between the arrival Of the statue in Amer
lea and the public dedication, his majesty
has directed not to send It to Washington
until the spring Of 1904.

had a conversation with President Roose-
welt some days ago, in which the president
suggested hat 1t might be as we'll, owing
to the disorder Of the grounds and the
obstruction Of building material. to arrange

FIND NO TRACE OF STRYCHNINE
Chemist Reports ON Analysis of the
stomach of Barney Nc
Daniels.

The analysis of the stomach Of Barney
McDaniels OF Macedonia, for whose alleged
murder his wife. Mrs. Ella McDaniels, and
Bert Livix are now being held at the county
Jail In this city awaiting the action OF the
district court grand jury. has failed to
show the slightest trace OF strychnine. The
result Of the analysis tends to disprove the
statement Of the accused that McDaniels
took a dose Of strychnine before, as they
alleged, cutting his throat. The state. also
as a result of the analysis, expects that
counse for the defendants will have con-
siderable trouble in proving, as he stated
he would when recently in this city, that
McDaniels had purchased the poison in
Henderson.
The examination Of the stomach OF the
dead man was made by Prof. A. G. Stokes
Of Omaha. professor OF the medical depart
ment Of the Nebraska State university.
In their statements before the coroner's
Jury Mrs. McDaniels and Livix both as
serted that McDaniels was seized with con-
vulsions shortly before his death and that
when Mrs. McDaniels offered to do what
she could TO relieve him he said IL was NO
use, as he had taken s%trychnine and moth
ing could prevent him dying. Shortly after
making this statement, the accused said
McDaniels cut his throat and rushed from
the house with the blood pouring from the
wound.

Former Leader in Dominion Parlia-
ment Talks of Alaskan Boun-
dairy Dispute.

TORONTO, Ont, Feb. 2S.-Sir Charles
Upper, former leader Of the conservative
party in the Dominion Parliament, In
speaking Of the Alaskan boundary dispute,
said that he was still in favor OF a propo-
sition he had laid before Parliament as
the best solution of the difficulty.
1t was that Parliament should pass a
measure empowering the Dominion govern
ment to construct a line of railway from
Kilomot or some other northern British
Columbia seaport to Dawson City, and that
the Canadian Parliament should pass a law
dealing with American mining In the Yukon
territory similar to the law in the United
States, which forbids Canadians from
mining in that country.
He commended that such a law seed not
be Immediately put into effect. but that It
should be left in the hands Of the governor
general, which would mean that the min
istry could advise what should be done
with It..

on Fact that He IL n
Mormon.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb. 2s.-A rep
resentative Of the Ministerial association
and the citizens who protested against the

charges Of polygamy filed with the commit
tee by Rev. J. L. Leilich as tending to OBJ
scure the main issue raised against Mr..
Smoot. that of being an apostle Of the Nor
mon church.
The telegram is signed by Farley L. Will
liams and e. B. Critchlow, representing the
citizens committee, and Rev. w. NJ. Paden
Of the First Presbyterian church of Salt
Lake, representing the Ministerial a~ssocia-
ton.
This action was taken after a meeting at
which the sentiment seemed unanimous that
the polygamy charge should play no part
in the fight against Mr.. Smoot.
I'VE feel that polygamy is in no way the
ISSUE said a member of the association.
The principle for which we are fighting is
that, as an apostle in the Mormon church.
Mr.. Smoot has no right to a seat in the

a polygamist does not play any part"
BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 2S.-The house today

of it's members separately and collectively.
We view with profound regret the agitation
against your being seated as a United
States senator an office to which you nave
been chosen by the legislature of Utah, in
the proper exercise of its sovereign power.
We believe that the opposition to you be-
cause of your religious belief Is coltrary to
the American spirit demanding separation
ofNchurch and state and that this opposition
c~ontemplates violation of section 3, article
vi, of the constitution of the United States.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Ex-senator Bur-
| rows, chairman of the committee on priv
iliges and elections, today presented to
the senate a protest against the seating OF
Reed Smoot. y Among other reasons given
is an allegation that Smoot is a member
of an oath-bound organization and as such
has taken an oath agreeing to forfeit his
life should he divulge the name or fail TO
comply with its terms; that by said oath
he in the most solemn manner swore to
avenge upon the government OF the United
States the death of Joseph and Hiram
Smith, who years ago, at Carthage, Ill.
were killed by a mob, and further, that
he has sworn to likewise swear his chill
dren and grandchildren never to rest or
give up their fight for that vengeance until
It shall be an accomplished fact"

SUNDAY PAPERS UNNECESSARY
London Judge Holds, However, that
Are Protected by Law.

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-By a decision Of a
London county court English newspaper
publishers are manufacturers and as such
do not infringe on the Lords day observ-
ance act by publishing Sunday papers.
This somewhat curious decision was
given in a suit brought to recover payment
for Sunday papers delivered to a news
agent, who refused to pay under the pre-
text that the Sunday laws made the claim
invalid.
Judge Rentoul held that Sunday papers
did not come under the head Of works Of
necessity" but as the Sunday act only re-
ferred to contracts entered into by a
"tradesman, artihcer, workman or laborer,"
the plaintiffs, as manufacturers, were OK
empt from the accusation OF illegality and
were entitled to their money.
