STRICT PROOF REQUIRED
JUDGE PRITCHARD REJECTS EX-
TRANEOUS EVIDENCE IN POST
OFFICE CONSPIRACY TRIAL.

Washington, Jan. 21.-In the Mach
en-Groff-Lorenz trial yesterday Judge
Pritchard informed counsel he would
demand that no extraneous matter be
introduced to influence the jury, but
that if it was he would take occasion
to mention it when he delivered his
charge to the jury.
Henry G.. Lockwood, chief clerk,
city delivery, New York postoffice,
said that by a letter dated Feb. 1,
1896, he was notified that 5000 Croft
fasteners were ordered supplied to his
office, without any requisition first
having been made therefor. Counsel
for the defense objected. Mr.. Taggart
stated that his object was to show
Machen was specially energetic in dis
tributing these fasteners.
Justice Prichard announced that
he would admit as competent any evil
dence tending to show facts in con-
nection with the furtherance Of the
allegations of the Indictment.
Lockwood explained various initials
on the letter by saying they represent
ed those officials Of the New York
postoffice thru whose hand the letters
had passed.
1t developed from further questions
that the initials "a. w. NJ also were
on the letter. On cross-examination
witness said he never Jaw Machen
sign his initials, and therefore did not
know whether they were put there by
Machen or one Of his clerks. Mr..
Douglass had again objected to the
admission Of the letter because there
| was no evidence to show that Machen
ever saw it, or even dictated it.
! The court held that, as the govern
ment was trying to identify the in
| itials "a. w. M" as having been made
by Machen, he would require the
| initials to be proved before this par
! ticular testimony would be admitted
| without such proof" the court said
with emphasis, that Is no evidence
whatever against this defendant
| Machen. We will proceed according
| to law"

TO IMPROVE MISSISSIPPI
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT PROM
ISES HELL TO FURTHER THE
PROJECT-$15,O 100000 is RE-
QUIRED.

Washington, Jan. 21.-President
Roosevelt promised delegation,
headed by Governor S. r. Van SAINT
of Minnesota, that he would do all
in his power to further the project
of improving the upper Mississippi
river.
Captain Brayson of Davenport Ellis
B. Usher of La Crosse and Lewis B.
Boswell of Quincy, who were with the
delegation, expressed confidence in
ultimate success. The Mississippi,
they assert, is destined to be a great
channel of commerce, carrying mil
lions Of tons Of the products of the
northwest.
Governor Van SAINT and other prom
inent men in the northwest have been
here for the past few days endeav-
oring to induce congress to take IA
vorable action on the proposal to
appropriate SIS, 100000 for the upper
Mississippi.
The interests behind the Ohio i'm
provement project want 100000.
The demand from the northwestern
states, particularly those tributary
to the Great Lakes, is strong and in
sistent, and the leaders fear that If
the bars are let down one of the
biggest river and harbor bills in the
history of congress might emerge
from the Legislative hopper.

PROPOSAL TO ANNEX PANAMA
Senator Morgan Has Another Scheme
to COmplicatC Matters.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator M or
gan, who is the most uncompromising
opponent of the Panama route for an
isthmian canal, and is leading the Op
position to the ratification Of the Pan
anna treaty, has caused surprise in the
senate by introducing a bill which
specifically recognizes the indepen-
dence of the republic of Panama, pro-
vides for it's annexation to the United
States and for the construction of the
waterway.
His colleagues do not think Mr..
Morgan would vote for his own BILL
and attribute it's introduction to de-
sire on the part of the senator from
Alabama to complicate the situation
by giving the people of the new re-
public the impression that the United
States intends to annex it. He admits
that his object in Introducing the bill
is to embarrass the republicans.
The bill provides for the annexation
of Panama to the United States when
2the republic copcurs and provides for
1.-THE appropriation Of $75,000,0O0.
4 Of this amount $10,000,0O0 is to pay
the republic for the territory annexed,
$3OOO,0OO to be Immediately available
for the benefit of the government of
Panama, and 100000 to remain in
the United States treasury for the
benefit Of it's local and municipal gov
eminent; SIS, 100000 is to settle with
Colombia for the loss of territory;
fs4O,O0O,OO0 for the French Panama
Canal company, and $10,000,000 to
construct the waterway the option 60
use the Nicaragua route not to be
impaired
Mr.. Morgan also introduced reso-
luton declaring it the sense Of con-
l. - b.
act requires that the president shall
proceed to open negotiations with
Costa RIGA and Nicaragua for treaty
for the construction Of a canal.

TION TO DON SKIRTS AND
WORK AS HOUSEMAID.

Milwaukee, Jan. 21.-The wall of
housekeepers over the servant girl
problem has reached to San Francisco.
superintendent Waller of the state
free employment agency has received
letter from female impersonator
in that city who applies for a posi-
ton as a domestic.
He says he can do all the work of
housemaid except cooking, and is
willing to learn that, and would sign
an agreement for three or four years.
He will dress in petticoats all the
time, and says that no one would
know him as an imitation in the
housemaid line. Superintendent Val
lier withholds the name, but will give
it to anyone wanting female i'm
personator as a servant.

New York Sun Special Service.
Washington, Jan. 21.-Senator Till
man summed up the democratic at
4titude in the senate toward the Pan
anna canal treaty yesterday, when the
declared that he would not enter any
real opposition to 1t. but would mere
ly sit back and throw mud at 1T
as it passed by.
Mr.. German has learned that twelve
or fifteen democratic senators intend
to vote for the treaty. Under the
circumstances the best that can be
done by the opposition is to keep the
subject open until all the political
capital possible can be made of it, and
then permit it to come to a vote.
A resolution prepared by Messrs.
German. Cockrell, Carmack and Gull
berson will probably be submitted to
the democratic conference to-day. This
resolution, it is said will define the
information which democrats assert
was withheld by the president, and
if the resolution is confined to an in
quiry for further light it will not be
opposed by the majority, but if it
presupposes completely on the part of
the United States in the Panama revo-
luton, Of insinuates that this gov
eminent has been guilty of bad faith
in any way, it will be defeated.
Il The principal object of all resolu-
tons calling upon the president for
information has been to permit open
discussion of the treaty itself under
the guise of demanding information.
Democratic senators that favor the
treaty will content themselves with
voting for ratification. They have
been convinced by Mr.. German that
speeches in it's favor would smack
too much OF indorsing the administra-
ton and hamper the democratic cam
paign. ... - srs....-.
+ The indications are now that every
senator on the democratic side, except
Mr.. Morgan, will consent to vote
on the treaty within few weeks.

COLOMBIA'S SHIPS DISABLED
Not Likely to Do Any Damage for
Some Time.
New York Sun Special Service.

X Panama, Jan. 21.-Colombia' two
government steamers, the Pinzon and
the Cartagena, are both out of repair
and cannot be put in comission for
some time.
On her last expedition out of a port
the Pinzon encountered the big Amer
lean cruiser, the Olympia, flying Rear
Admiral Coghlan's flag, bound for Car
tagena to pick up Minister Beaupre
after his departure from Bogota. The
aPinzon put on steam, went into the
harbor of Cartagena at topmost speed
and then, believing that the Olympia
was in pursuit, turned under the old
deserted fort and cleared her decks
for action.
There was no intention on Admiral
Coghlans part either to pursue or to
turn back his own powerful ship, and
when he passed the little Colombian
craft he had his gunners ready for &C
+ ton. One shot from the Pinzon would
have started hostilities.

Would Like to Go to Congress but Wishes

Washington, Jan. 21.--In an interview
yesterday regarding the suggestion that
he desired to succeed Representative
Tawney in the house, Governor Van SAINT
said:
II have nothing to say about the con-
gressional business. I am reluctant to
think Of a prolongation of nv public ca
reer. and this congressional talk will con-
vince my friends that am trying to hold
office the rest of my life
Nevertheless, the governors best friends
say he intends to enter the congressional
race This will be g. little embarrassing
to James A. Tawney, who felt that his last
hard fight was all that should be coming
to him for a number of years. The gov
ernor admitted to Senator Clapp that as
this is leap year, he is willing to let the
office seek him instead of employing the
usual Minnesota way of having the man
chase the office.
