The first portion of this letter refers
to Chamberlain first speech on the

Chamberlain says that neither of them
was intended to provoke a purely par

yielding opposition of the Liberal par
ty, which secuted the idea that a sys-
TEN generally accepted in 1916 could
possibly require modification in 1903.
Meanwhile the advocates of the recon-

Mrs. Williams, and a 13-year-old daugh-

ry Madison. Madison has disappeared.

diScolored as though the murderer had

La Crosse, Wis, Sept. 1S.-The worst
flood this portion of the Mississippi
valley has experienced in years is sub
merging thousands of acres of farm
lands along the river, sweeping away
stacks of hay and grain, drowning live
stock in the fields and doing inestima-
BILE damage.
The flood has reached La Crosse,
and on the lower side so families have
been forced to move out of their
homes. The river is still rising half
an inch an hour. At noon today it
was half foot above the danger point

WHERE MILLS GOT TANGLED

He Finally Declines to Answer the Oues-
tIons Put to Him.
Prosecutor Newcomer proceeded to
tangle Mills up on the wife question.
The defendant said that at the time
he married Miss Butler he was the
legal husband of Sophia Headley-Mills,
of st. Louis. Newcomer hurled ques-
ton after question at him, regarding
the three wives present in court, re-
garding his whereabouts during the
past twelve years, and regarding 9th
er wives he may have had. The whole
mass of questions and answers got into
such a smart that nobody in the court
whether Mills had half dozen wives
or score 1t was hard to figure out
what wives were legal and what ones
bigamOus.
Mills himself, after fioundering about
in the rapid fire of queries, finally
said. with a show of temper: Il de-
cline to answer.
ION what ground?'
''On any ground you wish"
The court here took hand by say
ing: "The only ground on which you
can decline is the plea that you may
incrimate yourself"
s'Then. l refuse to answer on that
ground" said Mills.
Newcomer then took Mills on an ex-
cursion over his past career. but the
defendant denied that he ever had been
IN the penitentiary or that he had
been convicted of any Offense. He
got into glaring contradictions, but
persisted in his denials.
George S. Glow, superintendent of
contracts at. the Columbus. o., peni-
tentiary gave Mills a black eye. fig
uratively. He took the stand and posi-
lively identified the defendant as an
ex-convict who had served at least
two terms, one term being of four
years duration. Lawyer Blayney was
and limited that Glow was mistaken.
''Haye you any description of the con-
vict of whom you speak," he asked.
"Here is his photograph" respond
ed Glow, delving into his pocket and
producing the picture. Thereupon the
defense subsided.
When the court adjourned for lunch
con the three wives held a reception.
They shook hands with the justice and
the preacher who had married two
of them, and said they were very glad
indeed to renew the. acquaintance, al
though under somewhat painful cir
cumstanees. However, the wives We're

London, Sept. 1S.-Consternation
ic announcement of Chamberlain re-
signation of the secretaryship for the
colonies prevails among all classes in
the United Kingdom to the exclusion
of every other topic. The Pail Mall
Gazette this afternoon aptly sums up
the general feeling by describing the
present crisis as 1.-The most eXtraor-
dinary in the whole history of
constitutional government" The cab
met crisis has no effect on the mar
kets, consols today being even firmer.
The Associated Press learns there
is good reason to believe the report
that War Secretary BrOderick is to
be transferred to the Indian office is
correct. A new cabinet is expected
to meet within a fortnight.
The Associated Press is informed
that Lord Lansdowne will remain sec
retary of foreign affairs.

nouncement of the designations of

which have been accepted by the king:

of the letter is the following state

feel, therefore, that as an immediate
practical policy the question of prefer.
ence to the colonies cannot be pressed
with any hope of success at the pres
ent time, although there is very
strong feeling in favor of the other
branch of fiscal reform which would
give fuller discretion to the govern
ment in negotiating with foreign cOun-
tries for a freer exchange of commo-
dities, and which would enable our
representatives to retaliate if no con-
cessiOn was made to our just de-

Many Went Down at Sea and Re-
ports were Slow in Being
Received.

New York, Sept. 1S.-The storm that
swept the Atlantic coast from Maine
to Delaware reaped harvest of sixty
five lives, as estimated at this writ
ing. Besides this it destroyed $1,000
600 worth of property in that long
stretch of coast, most of the property
being marine, such as boats, yachts,
etc, with u sprinkling of summer re-
sort property on shore. As d specimen
of the destruction of craft fOrty-seven
yachts. including the schooner yacht
Ansonia, were wrecked at BayOnne;
fifty sloOps and launches and as many
more smaller craft were hurled upon
the beach at Perth AmbOy and the Red
Bank clubs fleet of twenty yachts was
destroyed at moOrings.
Majority Lost at Sea.
Much of the loss of life occurred at
Delaware breakwGter. and most of it
was lost at sea, but there were a num-
ber of deaths ashore, caused by be-
ing struck by flying missiles and in
various other ways. Fifteen men were
lost at sea off the Maine coast alone.
Dispatches from Florida say that
twenty-one lives were lost by ship
wreck on the coast of that state when
the MexicanO, steamship went down

Chicago, Sept 1S.-Harold G. Mills
made curious defense in his higamy
trial i'll Judge Brentano's court. In an
attempt to clear himself of this par
ticular charge, he went on the wit
ness stand and confessed himself to be
a bigamist in a previous case. But
Mills made a sorry spectacle of him
self on the stand, for Assistant States
Attorney Newcomer tangled him up
into hard knot, until he finally saw
no Ioophole, and fatty declined to an
swer further questions on the ground
that he might incriminate himself. He
refused to say how many wives he
had had during his dashing matrimon-
ial career, but he owned up to having
married the three who sat together in
the court room facing him.
States Evidence of Bigamy.
The evidence produced by the state
was short and much to the point. JUS
tice of the Peace Felix A. Lemke, of
Detroit, swore that he married the de-
fendant under the name of Harold c..
Reed and Miss Mary f. Butler, aged
20. on March 2S. 1902. Mrs. Eliza
Butler, mother of the bride, testified
that Reed, or Mills, deserted his wife
two weeks later. Then came Rev. f.
NJ Gardner. of the Garfield Boulevard
Methodist church. and testified that he
married Mills and Miss Flora Beals in
October, 1902. On Jan. 1, 1903, Mills
abandoned his wife. This marriage of
Miss Beals constituted the specific case
ON which the indictment of bigamy
was voted.
Mills Goes on the Stand
Several other witnesses corroborated
this evidence, and then, to the sur
prise of the three wives, Lawyer Blay-
ney called Mills TO the stand. Mills,
tall and lank, walked up to the wit
ness chair, with sanctimonious air
and swore to tell the truth.
mills" said his lawyer, lat the time
you married Miss Butler in Detroit
did you have another legal wife liv-
ing?"
al did, said Mills.
If this had been Substantiated, the
present Indictment for bigamv would
have been vitiated, and a reinufctment
on the previous offense would have
been necessary. The whole fabric of
the present case would have been de-
stroyed, and it would have been neces-
sary to work up another case.
