body, and then aimed and fired q shot
into the object. Then he drew the
body about 10 feet and left it lying
across the track. The murderer then
started to walk toward the reserva-
ton, and at the same time Rockwell
went toward the scene of the shoot
ing. AS soon as he got near enough
to see that the body was that of a
man he stepped over to a car in
which some men were working and
told them that a murder had been
committed. BY this time the man
who had done the shooting was out
of sight.
Pasquale, the prisoner, showed
keen interest in the testimony of the
various witnesses, and when Cozza
stated that the defendant threatened
to murder Gray his cheeks flushed
and it was evident that he could
hardly control himself
This afternoon a number of wit
nesses identified Pasquale as the man
they saw in the vicinity of where
Gray met his death the night of
May 20.

priest to keep the bells tolling con-
tinually, and this with the knowl-
edge that Mrs. Clemens was seriously
i'll. But the good father, on learn
ing of the true condition had the
bells discontinued altogether
Smith, said the delightful old
man one day with a nod of his head,
Il never expected to wish myself In
hell, but even at that great personal
Inconvenience, I'd like tokmeet that
countess there.
Mark Twain is a most Industrious
man. He wrote nearly all the time
he was at the villa The first six
weeks he told me that he wrote 3d.
600 words. After that he wrote on
an average of 800 a day. When he
wrote humorously he always locked
himself in his room He uses a
large fountain pen and writes a beau
tiful, legible hand He's writing an
autobiography, but he dictates this
in his moments of rest, to an aman-
uensis
THE death of Mrs. Clemens was a
sad blow to Mark Twain. Their mar
ried life was ideally happy, and for
him the world revolved around his
wife. Her death showed the great
popularity of the man. Cablegrams
of coincidence and sympathy came
not by the hundreds but by the thou
sands, and from every point of the
globe; from India, from Africa, from
the islands of the Pacific, from Siam,
everywhere; and crowned heads were
among the senders. l do not believe
that / am exaggerating when | say
that Mark Twain received a greater
number of messages of sympathy
than were received at Queen Victor

Smith says that he thinks that
Mark Twain will go back to Florence
to live after he has spent the fall
! in, the. Berkshire hills, where he is
now summering.

On Saturday was begun one of the
most remarkable automobile jour
neys ever undertaken. Charles J.
Glidden, with 40inch steel-hanged
wheels fitted to his 24-horsepower
Napier, started westward to the Pa
cific coast along the steel tracks of
a railroad.
The start was made from Mime
apolis, to which point Mr.. Glidden
rode over the ordinary highways
on pneumatic tired wheels. From
Minneapolis the run on rails will be
north in Winnipeg, Man, and from
that city it will be west over the
Canadian Pacific railway tracks to
Vancouver, B. c.
The special wheels for the rails
were made in England, and when Mr.
Glidden began his recent tour from
Boston to St. Louis the steel wheels
were shipped on to the latter city,
where they were substituted for the

AN OHIO DARK HORSE.

The Statesman has received from
Columbus. Ohio. a circular letter urg-
ing the nomination of Colonel James
Kilbourne for president by the dem
Ocratic national convention at St.
Louis. Colonel Kilbourne was the
democratic nominee for governor of
Ohio in 1901 and ran 1900 votes
ahead of his ticket, despite the tide
in favor of the republican party be
cause Of the sympathy aroused by
the tragic death of Mckinley. His
popularity in his home city was at
tested by his reversing a republican
majority of 5000 to q democratic ma
iority of 1900, and this against his
distinguished fellow tOWnsman, Gov
ernor George X. Nash.
Colonel Kilbourne entered the Union
army as a private when a mere boy
and at the close of the war was mus
tered out a brevet colonel. He is
man of high scholarly attainments, a
graduate of Kenyon college and the
Harvard law school and is a recog
nized authority on questions of po-
litical economy. He has been a con
sistent, lifelong democrat, never fall
tering in his support of his party's
candidates and principles. He is at
the head of a large manufacturing
concern and has always held the re-
spect and affection of his hundreds of
employees. The democratic convention
might do much worse than to name
Colonel kilbOurne as the party's
choice for president.

JAPAN'S CRITICAL PERIOD.

Japan has reached a critical period
in her conflict with Russia.
Success affected NapOleon's military
judgment and brought him to the dis
asters of Leipsic and Waterloo. AS
tonishing success at sea on the part
of the Japs, within three months after
the opening of hostilities has cleared
the Yellow and Japan seas of the men
ace of Russian sQuadrOns and sent
the remnant of the cars navy in
those waters to hiding. This has been
followed by the rapid movement of
transports filled with Japanese soldiers
for the land operations, which have
resulted in the occupation by Japan
Of the whole of Korea and the re-
yjrement of the Russ'a an forces from
their YalU river front, compelled by
the mastery passage of the Yalu UNI
der heavy fire from the Russian forti
fications. The Japs. forcing a great
battle, the first real battle of the war
on the Manchurian side of the YaIu
have succeeded, so far as can be
judged by the reports, in routing the
Russian force of 10000 men and send
ing them in full retreat northwest
ward.
At the same time, a large Jap army
is landing on the west shore of the
Liao-tung peninsula, menacing both
Port Arthur and Niu-chuang and the
railway between Mukden and Port
Arthur. These tactics We're followed
with success in the war of 1S94-95
with China. If the Jap army from the
Yalu and the force last mentioned
succeed in forming a junction there
may be something like a decisive bat
tie fought somewhere in south Sheng-
King province.
Manifestly, General kuropatkin is
either a poor strategist or else he de-
ponds upon the Grass stupidity of the
Japs, who have so far shown them
selves wary in the extreme. 1t is
possible that Kuropatkin has not OPP
posed the Jap occupation of Korea
with a sufficient force to hold them
back, for the reason that he is willing
to sacrifice an army corps or two to
draw the elated Japs far into the in
terror of Manchuria. with hazardous
connection with their base, in order
to play upon them Hannibals game
