WIFE GAVE HIM POISON.
Col. Cody Alleges Reasons Why He
Wants Divorce


dispatch from Denver says: Col. Will
lam F. Cody (Buffalo Bid made a depo-
sition before a notary in this city in the
action for divorce which he has begun in
Big Horn county. Wyo. Col. Cody will
sail for Europe shortly and will be alb
sent from the country when his suit is
tried. In the proceedings today Col Cody
was Intercepted by his own attorney
and was subjected to examination
by counsel for Mrs. Cody.
Mrs. Cody tried to poison me three
years ago" the colonel testified 'She
were visiting in Rochester. N. Y, during
Christmas I was i'll. supposed the tur-
key and plum pudding did not agree with
me. She said she would fix me up She
pretended to give me medicine 1t was
poison 1t almost finished me, for l was
unconscious for some time. I think it
must have been an overdose, for it made
life"
Col Cody related many instances of his
wife's having Inundated him at his for
mer home" in North Platte by her con-
duct toward his guests. She drove my
friends away" he said. When they were
no longer welcome in the handsome resi-
dence built and deliberately furnished 1t
was no longer my home"
The witness recited many specific i'm
stances of his wifes alleged discourtesy
to his guests.
Mrs. Cody.s counsel inquired into the
character Of the guests to whom she OBJ
jected and into their conduct while at
her home. The purpose Of the inquiry
was to show that the men whom he
brought to the house were a fast and
riotous set and behaved in such man
ner that she had right to object to
them.

After considerable delay the resolutions
were referred to the post Office committee,
and no action has been taken toward re-
porting them back. Democratic senators
have persistentiy urged that any one of
the resolutions be reported, but the de-
mands have been combatted by the repub-
licans. on the grounds that there is no ne
cessity for an investigation that has not
been made or that cannot be made by the
Post Office Department itself.
The plan of the democratic senator's is
now to offer a new resolution calling at
tention tG lne former resolutions and TO the
fact that they have been permitted to sleep
in the committee. This would bring the en-
tire question before the Senate. 1t has
been conceded by the democratic senators
that the resolution which they proposed to
bring in will come no nearer adoption than
the ones sent to the post office committee,
but they assert that the effect will be to
bring out a full debate, which. II 10 csti-
mated, will last week at least.

Railroads Win Contest.

In the case of the chamber of commerce
of Chattanooga agt. the Southern and other
railroads. involving alleged discrimination
in freight rates against Chattanooga and
in favor of Nashville on traffic from eastern
cities, the interstate commerce commission
has announced It's decision in favor of the
railroads. The commission decides that
the traffic from New York and other eastern
points is carried to Nashville and Chat
tanooga under substantially different condi-
tions; that the higher rate to Chattanooga
is not unlawful nor unreasonable and cam
not be condemned merely because lower
rate is granted to Nashville.

First Exhibition of Veto Power.
Governor Hunt, for the first time, ex-

bill giving municipal officers greater

most creditable manner and unanimously

HAVE NARROW ESCAPE
TWO AMERICANS DHIFT OUT TO
SEA WITH Disabled sLooP.
Exciting Experience on . Sea Trip to
San Juan-Uneventfnl Session
of the Legislature.
SAN JUAN, p. R.. March Is, 10
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.

SAN JUAN, P. R., March Is. 1904.
Two Americans who came recently to Por-
to Rico to enjoy themselves narrowly escap-
ed terrible death at sea "a few days ago.
They are H. L. Stineman of South Fork,
Pa, and ]. d. Frazee of Washington D. c.,
who came to San Juan with President Sam
uel Gompers Of the American Federation of
Labor.
While Mr. Gompers was making his tour
of investigation throughout the island the
Messrs. Stineman and Frazee decided to
visit ST. Thomas They went from here to
the Danish West Indies on the Royal Mail
steamer Esk, and after spending several
days in and around st. Thomas decided to
return in a sloop to San Juan.
Ordinarily this is a safe and pleasant
journey, though slow one. This time 1t
proved to be rough journey from the start,
which was at midnight last Wednesday.
When thirty-six hours out the rudder of the
sloop became disabled and the small craft
was no longer manageable
Favorable winds, however, drove them
toward Porto Rico, but at the same time
4 a. m. on Saturday to. II m. on Sum-
day they were without food except three
oranges and with little water.
Most of that time they were fourteen
their plight was discovered by the signal
men on Fort San Cristolbai and the steamer
Vasco was sent to tow them into San Juan.
They were badly scared men, and likewise
very grateful. Both say they realized how
joyful Columbus must hare been when
he sighted Porto Rico.

the executive council declared that q re-
duction Of figures would be false economy,
The council won and the budget will stand
for 104-19O5 about the same as for the
present fiscal year, $1,200OO0.
The most important legislation was the
passing of bill authorizing the insular
government to borrow from 100000 to
A,OOO.OOO on 4 per cent bonds, to be sold
at not less than par. for general improve
ment purposes. The natives wanted a
$oOO0OO0 loan for the relief of island farm
ers, but finally accepted the general loan
bill az compromise.
Governor Hunt will name three commits
sioners to visit the United States and ne
gotiate for the sale OF the bonds The
money will be used for roads, school
houses. harbor improvements and other
public utilities.
To Reorganize Island Judiciary.
Another far-reaching act passed was the
bill reorganizing the Judiciary OF the island.

Discovery of Cliff DweIlers.

An FL Paso. Tex, dispatch says that
DR.. Bush, the well-known archaeolo-
gist, is back from a trip of 700 miles
into the interior of northern Mexico in
the Sierra Madre mountains, and says
ne discovered a race of people that
prove the perpetuation of the race of
Cliff Dwellers who once inhabited this
section. The language of these people
is unknown and different from any
other he ever heard. and the hero
glyphics on stones correspond to the
hieroglyphics found in the remains of
Cliff Dwellers' homes.
He also found mummies exactly like
these unearthed in the Cliff settle
uients and people of about the same
size. Their huts are practically under
ground on mountain sides and every
thing indicates connection with the
Cliff Dwellers. The doctor got photo
graphs of his discoveries and will re-
turn to investigate fully.

sued by the japanese. A severe en-
gagement is expected.
st. Petersburg, Aug lG.-The expec-
tation here is that Port Arthur will fall

inner fortifications. Both sides lost
heavily. The Japanese have com.
menced the bombardment from Lang

! fenses.
The hauling down Of the flags of the
, Russian vessels at kiao Chau took
place in accordance with instructions
of the German foreign office, which,
having ascertained that the damage
sustained by the warships were too
serious for repairs to be made within
a reasonable time ordered the ships to
| be disarmed. They will be kept in
! port until the closing of the war
! The crews of the Russian vessels
have been ordered to be detained by
the German authorities at Kiao Chau
until the close of the war.
