The Nan Patterson Trial.

In the trial in New York, yesterday,

mony of physicians was offered TO show

Young abuse Miss Patterson early in
the morning of June 4, aud another wit
ness, newsboy, swore that he saw J.
Morgan Smith, her brother in-law, strike
Miss Patterson in the face on the night
of June 3.
The mewsboy described an exciting
scene which occurred in front of cafe
in Columbus Circle less than u hours
before the shooting of Caesar Young.
The witness knew Miss Patterson, hay-

Patterson came out of the cafe and called
q cab. Both were excited, and the w.t.
ness heard the man say, "You must do it. -

"Then the man struck her in the face
with bis hand and showed her in the cab

G. Petersburg. Nov. 24.-Lieutenant
General sakharof, in two dispatches to

conveys the following report on Skin
mishes at the front: ''Volunteer chas-
seur, on November 90 occupied the
mountains on both sides of Chinkailin
Pass, four kilometres south of the village
of Tungun. Nine chasseurs climbed to-
wards the barbed wire fences, which
were found in front of the Japanese en-
trenchments. They cut the fences aud
then threw several Chinese hand gren-
AIDES. They followed this with hasty
fire which took effect on the japanese
who approached on hearing the sound OF
the explosion. After having sustained
losses the japanese retired. The chas-
seurs picked up rifles and ammunition,
which were thrown down by the fleeing
Japanese The special dispatch reads ;
"On November 81, Russian ietach-
ment repulsed japanese attack before
the village Of Antiquity. The Russian
losses were ten killed and forty wounded. +"
Rome, Nov. PA dispatch to the
Italia Militaire from Pekin says that
subscriptions are being opened through
out China for war funds. The Chinese
government has expressed concurrence
with President Roosevelts peace con-
ference, but many persons, the paper
continues, fear if peace is not concluded
in the far East speedily, China may be
forced into the conflict.

Anxietr Regarding Canada.

Dispatches received in London from
the United Suites siuce the presidential
election have aroused considerable anx-
iety in some quarters with reference to
the future relations between Canada aud
the mother country. 1t looks to many
English statesmen as though there was
serious danger of closer commercial re-
iations between Canada and the United
States, which would result Immediately
in great detriment to England's foreign
trade, and eventually, perhaps, in the
dissolution of the political ties that unite
England and her American colony.
1t is realized that commercial reciproc-
ity between the United States and Can
ada may be very far off, but about every
press dispatch from New York that
touches upon the question represents the
movement ia that direction as extremely
vigorous, and speaks of the advocates of
the scheme as decidedly hopeful Of sue
cess. the understanding in London is
that the attitude OF the United States to-
ward the movement is likely to be de-
termined BY comparison of the strength
Roosevelt Can command in the Senate
with the strenSIh of the ultra. Chinese
wall protectionists.
There has been little public discussion
of the subject in this country, but look
ing at the matter from purely selfish
viewpoint, EDglishmen hope the out-and-
out protectionists will be able to resist
the demand for reciprocity. 1t is possible
one effect of the agitation in the United
States may be to scare Brtishers who
now oppose Chamberlain's tariff schemes
into support of them.
Certainly the English people would
regard the establishment of anything sa-
voring of commercial union between the
two American countries as a direct mem
ace to the British Empire. A mild form
Of reciprocity between the two countries
would not, per Sc, so alarm England as
to suggest that the dismemberment0 the
empire bad begun, but it is felt in Lon
don that the American reciprocilists do
not mean to stop at mild reciprocity. but
to get as near free trade as possible and.
free trade between the United States and
Canada, or anything approximatiDg it,
wise Euglishmen think would lead up to
relations between those countries that
could not exist while Canada continued u
part of the British Empire.

April. She provided home for their
four children at the city limits. He
went there last night, and when she
opened the door he knocked her down.
Being a powerful man, he dragged her
across the room, seized the knife from
the table, and slashed her throat.
As she fell he pulled the knife out OF

WAR IN THE EAST.

1t is said the principal reasons which
make it probable that General Kuropat
kin will seek to suspend hostilities until
spring are found in the lack of fuel, fod.
der and water. The streams are frozen
The labor OF hacking blocks Of Ice, car.
rying them and melting them in quanti-
ties enough to supply the vast army and
the enormous number of horses presents
technical problems so immense as to be
almost iusurmountable. The difficulty
is made all the greater by the fact that fuel
is so scarce, even millet roots being
dragged up for use as fuel. Meantime
the Chinese bandits are daily increasing,
marrying the army with the greatest au-
dacity. They are constantly breaking
the railway line. Recently during a
dark night they blew ii up at six differ
ent places, using melinite cartridges.
The japanese, according to St.
Petersburg report, have receiveda severe
setback in the vicinity of Sintsin'in, in
which direction they apparently were at
tempting to execute wide turning
movement. 1t will be strange if the two
great armies can winter less than a rifle
shot distant from each other, though the
heavy defenses on each side make it ex-
tremely difficult for either to assume the
offensive. 1t is believed, however, that
if the deadlock is to be broken Gen
eral Kuropatkin will let Field Marshal
0yama take the initiative, as the Rus
slams have the better of the present po-
sition, strong line of defense and Muk-
den behind them, making satisfactory
winter quarters, where the Russian rein
forcements are now accommodating for an
advance next spring. The Japanese al
so are being strongly reinforced.
Indications are growing that the Jap.
anese are undertaking a wide turning
movement on the Russian left. A large
number of commissariat wagons have
been observed going eastward, and some
artillery exchanges have also been report
ed from the eastward. The spirits of
the men are good and the food is salts
factory. The rations of the men at the
outposts and in the advance trenches are
sent to them at night, as it would be i'm
possible to do so during the day, because
the Japanese shell every convoy.
