CASE OF S, A. CROFT
Is to BE Given a Hearing at wash
inEtOn Separately.

Washington, March A.. Justice
Pritchard to-day fixed a hearing for
tomorrow in the case of Samuel A.
Croft, on a motion for a new trial.
Croft was convicted with his brother,
Diller b. Croft, Machen and Lorenz.
but his case was separated from theirs
on account of the statement of Holmes
Conrad, special counsel for the gov
eminent, that there was not sufficient
evidence to convict him.
Attorney Maddox, counsel for the
Groffs, stated that he is having an in
vestigation made as to certain reports
regarding the jury that convicted Ma
chen, Lorenz and the Groffs. Mr.. Mad
dox said that the jury's fixed verdict
will be invalidated if the report that
has reached him proves to be true.
Judge Pritchard remarked that in his
opinion the jury very properly dis
agreed with Maj. Conrad. There was
just as much evidence on which to hold
Samuel A. Croft as to hold the other
defendants"

But His Followers Were shut Out of
Headquarters.

Chicago. March 4.-Judge Brentano
after granting continuance in the
contempt cases against Senator John
Powers and others, instructed the
Powers faction to permit Robert E.
Burke and his followers to enter the
Democracy headquarters. Burke, ac-
companied by a number of adherents,
Immediately left the court room, de-
claring his intention to enter the head
quarters, by force if necessary.
Mr.. Burke was admitted. but his
followers were refused admission.
The fact was reported to Judge
Brentano, and he upheld the action
of the Harrison faction in closing the
doors against an invading force. Mr.
Burke later departed, and so far as
known the controversy will rest there
until 1t is decided which party is le-
gally right in claiming control Of the
county Democracy

RUSSIA is RELIEVED
BY Assurances of the Neutrality of
Great Britain.

st. Petersburg, March 4-There ex-
lists high authority for the statement
that Russia has now reason to feel
more tranquil regarding the attitude
of Great Britain.
The real reason of the visit to st.
Petersburg of Count Benckendorff,
Russian ambassador to Great Britain,
while ostensibly to see his son off to
the Far East, was personally to assure
his government of his belief that the
suspicious harbored here concerning
Japan's ally were ill-founded, and
Great Britain, although standing by
the obligations of the Anglo-Japanese
treaty, would not move unless COM
PEELED so to do by the entrance into
affairs in the Far East of a third
power
AS the Associated Press is also cred
IDLY informed that the British and
French governments have reached a
thorough understanding, by which they
have pledged mutual non-interference,
Russia now feels much more secure
against European complications.

lucky ditch. And here the irony of
fortune is well illustrated, for al
though the antiquary spent thousands
Of pounds in buying and excavating
his land, not a single coin was discov-
cred beyond those which a stroke of
the spade had revealed.
This Is the kind of trick fortune
loves to play on designing man. Not
very many years ago, when the thatch-
ed roof of an ancient cottage near
Ripon was removed a rich nest of s.
guinea gold pieces was discovered hid
den under it. When the news of this
treasure trove came to the ears of a
neighboring land owner he was so
fired by the lust of gold that he forth
with purchased a dozen similar cot
tages in the district and had them all
pulled down, but not a solitary coin
was found in exchange for the $4,000
the experiment cost him.

of cold water over his master to ex-
were threatening the knights life. 1t
is probable, too, that Raleigh used
this pipe when he demonstrated to
Queen Elizabeth the weight of a given
amount of smoke by weighing some
tobacco, smoking it and weighing the
ashes.
Even more interesting than these.
however, are the associations of the
pipe with the latter part of the court
favorite's life. 1t was his constant
companion when he placed the battle
ment outside the prison at the tower
of London while composing his history
Of the world.
To this day the window in the white
tower is pointed out where Sir Walter
smoked his pipe as he watched his
rival, the earl of Essex, walk to tile
scaffold erected on the green just be-
low, and there is equally trustworthy
substantiation for the tradition that
this was the pipe that the knight
carried with him to the block when il
came his turn to take 1.-THE sharp
medicine but cure for all diseases"
For many years the pipe was part
of the duke of Cambrige's collection,
who, though not a great user of to-
bacco, has one of the finest collections
of pipes and snuff boxes in the king
dom. While the present prince Of
Wales was an active naval officer the
duke gave him Raleigh's pipe and his
royal highness has guarded it as a
cherished possession. Before he allow
ed II to go TO Whitechapel exhibition
he insisted that II be insured for S. 900
and Il Is doubtful whether II Will ever
leave the royal cabinet again. q

The Cabinet Conferred at Its Meet
ing Yesterday.
Washington, March 4.-Discussion of
State Department questions occupied
practically the entire time of the cabi-
net to-day. That the Far Eastern sit
uation. in some of its numerous phases
affected the United States, was con-
sidered is quite certain.
The project of laying a cable line from
Japan to the Island of Guam is under
consideration by this government but
no action upon it yet has been deter
mined upon. 1t is stated on trust
worthy authority however, that neith-
er Japan nor any other foreign power
will be allowed to lay the cable now or
at any future time. Whenever a cable
line is constructed between Guam and
the mainland, it will be under the ai-
thority and jurisdiction of the United
States.

Quaint Relic That Is Descended
from EIixabeth's Time.

From the Pittsburg Gazette.
During the last fortnight Americans
in London have been hocking to the
shipping exhibition in whitechapel to
see a relic Of United States history
which will be interesting likewise to
their countrymen at home. This is
nothing less than the pipe smoked by
Sir Walter Raleigh, which is also, Of
course, the first ever smoked in this
country, the famous eourtier Of Queen
Elizabeth having introduced the fra
grant weed" in England on his return
from America. The pipe belongs TO
the Prince Of Wales. who always has
seen TO it's being guarded most care
fully. There is little doubt that this
is the pipe that Sir Walter was en-
