WANAMAKER ISLANDER SUIT,
Celebrated Case Now Being Tried in
Pennsylvania.

BEAVER, Pa, September 1S.-The morn
ing session of the Robinson Wanamaker
slander suit was the most interesting so
far held for the reason that it was a law
yers' struggle from the start, the prOsecu-
ton objecting very often to the line of tes-
timony which the Wanamaker attorneys
wanted to get in. The ex-Postmaster Gen.
eral did not go on the stand but will ap-
pear as the last witness.
Efforts were made to bring out the trou-
bles in the cabinet of Governor Hastings,
which led to the designations of John p.
Elkin and Frank Reeder.
Colonel Wilbur F. Reeder, who was
deputy attorney general in Governor Hast
ings' administration. was again called to-
day. He testified that he had given an
opinion to Governor Hastings to the effect
that the publication of the bird book was
not authorized by the resolution of the
legislature. but authorizing the republica-
ton of the poultry book
Mr.. Reeder said he did not think the bird
book of 1000 pages containing 109 coloreC
plates and much matter not relating to
poultry was consistent with the resolution
which authorized the republication of the
poultry book.

PANAMA CANAL PROSPECTS.
Alleged Object Of Introducing Radica,
Amendments to the Treaty.

It became known today that official ad-
vices received in Washington contain GER

new light the obstruction which has
been placed in the way of the ratification
by the Colombian congress of the Panama
show that the object in introducing the
radical amendments to the treaty was not
in the hope of their being adopted but
to force the concession of certain minor
amendments. 1t is further said that repre-
sentations have been made to the State
Department which would make it appear
that the ratification of the treaty is not
now entirely improbable.
Acting Secretary Adee of the State De.
partment has received copies; of confidential
dispatches which DR.. Herrln, the Colon
bian charge, has received from his govern
ment but their contents will not be
divulged by either the Colombian legation
or the State Department. Mr. Adee is un-
willing to discuss the matter further than
to admit he has received such dispatches
and has forwarded them to Secretary Hay.
1t was denied at the Colombian legation
an extension of time for the exchange of
ratifications of the treaty, which was limit
ed to September %, but DR.. Herran said
that if necessary the protocols could be
signed as late as that day 1t may or may
not be significant that Secretary Hay ex-

FALSE RUSSIAN PRIEST,
Consul General at New York Issues
Denunciation.

NEW YORK, September 1S-N. De Lody-

given out the following official statement
published by the Russian holy synod:
"A certain self-styled bishop, who, at the
end of 1902 arrived in the United States
and Canada, and calling himself Seraphin,
metropolitan of America (?, celebrated di-
vine services, ordained priests and deacons
and collected funds for the erection of

volsky, who, in 1882, was permitted, in
compliance with his own request to aban-

himself a priest of performing religious
functions.
Neither the Russian church government
nor the eastern orthodox patriarchs recog-
nize in 'Seraphin' CD the ecclesiastical state
which he ascribeS to himself as orthodox
bishop and metropolitan of America'(?).
In view of this said 'Seraphin' CD as
well as all persons ordained by him are to
be considered imposters and pseudo
clergymen, and all the religious acts per-
formed by them (consecrations, weddings.
etc., are void and without legal power

WHAT GERMANY THINKS.
Government Has Four Views of Bal

BERLIN. September 1S.-The German
government holds In view four points in

First-Does Russia regard that the time
for the breakup of European Turkey has
arrived? The German ministers have been
unable to penetrate Russia's ultimate inten-
tions and note with dspleasure the concert
ed attacks of the St. Petersburg papers on
Germany, which Is described as being in
the background and taking pleasure in the
extirpation of the Slavs in European
Turkey.
Second-If Prince Ferdinand is persuad-
ed that his throne is dependent on a war
with Turkey, then war IS certain. Every
Ferdinand's mind.
Third-The meetings of the sovereigns, at
tended by their foreign ministers, are ex-
pected to clear up the obscurities of the
situation and enable German statesmen to
forecast the future The emperors of Ger
many and Austria meet at Vienna today.
The cZar meets Emperor Francis Joseph
September %. and will then visit the King
of Italy. Events are expected to remain
quiet until after the 10th. unless Bulgaria
refuses to wait.
Fourth-The project for Austrian-Rus-
sian joint occupation CT Macedonia has
been wholly abandoned and there is not the
least likelihood of a renewal of the propo-
sition.
Despite the fact that the Balkan situation
has grown worse Turkish funds rose again

CRIPPLE CREEK, Col, September 49,
Acting Advocate General Tom McClelland
today made answer in the district court to
the writs of habeas coropus issued by Judge
Seeds in the cases of c. H. Mckinney and
three other strike leaders, who have been
held as prisoners in the military guardhouse
for more than week.
Adjutant General Bell did not appear in
court, but in his behalf a sworn statement
was filed. which declared that no prisoners
were held in custody by him. Brigadier
General John Chase in his reply, through
counsel, assumed responsibility for the mill
tary arrests.
The answer filed in behalf of Gen. Chase
was largely based upon the recent decision
of the supreme court of Pennsylvania, in a
case growing out of the anthra cite coal
strike of last year and known as the
Wadsworth case. A private in the Ma
tional Guard, named Wadsworth. acting
under orders from his superior officer, shot
and killed a striker He was prosecuted in
the criminal courts for murder, and the case
was appealed to the supreme court, which
a few months ago eXonerated him from re-
sponsibility for the killing.

THE oLEOMARGARINE LAW.
Instructions Sent to Collectors of In
terual Revenue.

The commissioner of internal revenue has
called the attention of collectors to the
fact that the oleomargarine laws provide
that retail dealers in oleomargarine must
sell only from original stamped packages
in quantities not exceeding ten pounds.
The commissioner says that certain dealers
in oleomargarine claim to have been mis-
informed in regard to the law. Under the
law a retail dealer is perraitted to sell as
much as ten pounds at one, sale, but as
the same section of the law requires him
to sell it from the original stamped pack
age, and section of the act precludes his
selling the original stamped package with
out payment of special tax as a wholesale
dealer, the only course for him to pursue
under the circumstances is to sell this guam
tity directly from the original stamped
package, and deliver 1t in another. package
properly marked and branded.

INDICTMENT IS VALID
Important Decision in One Of
the Postal Cases.
DEFEAT OF BEAVERS
ACCUSED MUST HAVE HIS HEAR
ING IN BROOKLYN.
Commissioner Hitchcock Of New York
Overrules Motion of Defense to
Dismiss Proceedings.

NEW YORK, September 18-At the ex-
dicted postal official. charged with con-
spiracy with the Brandt-Dent Manufactur.
ing Company to defraud the government
which was resumed today. Commissioner
Hitchcock announced that he had decided
to overrule the motion made by the defense
at the previous hearing to dismiss the pro-
ceedings because of the invalidity of the
Indictment.
Sufficient Evidence.
The defense contended at that time that
the Indictment charged three separate and
distinct offenses under one section Of the
federal statutes. instead of one as provid-
ed by law.
He also repeated his ruling that the prop
erly certified copy of the indictment re-
turned in Brooklyn was sufficient evidence
to make out a case of probable cause and
to warrant the return of the accused prop
erly identified. to the district wherein the
indictment was returned.
1t developed in the course Of the exami-
nation. and was admitted upon the record
by District Attorney Burnett that sub
poenas had been served by the defense
upon District Attorney Youngs in Brooklyn
and his stenographer and subpoena for
the production of certain papers upon Post
master General Payne, the defense stating
that it wanted the government to make out
c hafpro ba cio ir,
New York in order that the defense might
prove that Mr.. Beavers had nothing what
ever to do with the making Of the contract
between the government and the Brandt
Dent Company. The subpoenas had been
ignored
Who is Being Shielded
For the first time of record in this dis
trict," said Mr.. Steuers, attorney for Mr..
Beavers. 'the government seeks to have
this accused sent to Brooklyn without the
preliminary examination that has been ac
corded every defendant arraigned for extra
dition in quarter Of a century.
1--WE want to know whom the government
seeks to shield by this indictment.
I'VE contend that If permitted to go into
this case here that we will prove that there
is not only lack of probable cause to be-
lieve that crime has been committed, but
SO far as Beavers is concerned it is a case
of absolute innocence, and we hope to prove
it. But for some reason the government
seeks to suppress this evidence"
Opportunity to Prove Innocence.
General Burnett said the defendant had
been indicted in the eastern district and
would be given the opportunity to prove his
innocence there in due time.
Decisions were quoted by the general to
prove that there was no authority by which
a commissioner could issue subpoena for
a person in another district.
The government, he contended, did not
wish to do an injustice or take an unfair
advantage, but II witnesses could be
brought from all over the country on pre-
liminary hearings it would block the wheels
of justice.

any attempt at rescue by passing vessels
during the severe storm of Wednesday.
