drew Carnegie.
Mrs. Chadwick was reclining Oh p
ronch in her cell in the Jail when ia
formed Thursday afternoon of the action
of the grand jury. She appeared not the
least concerned, and asked only if there
had been anyone else indicted, mention
ing the name of a person who has figured
in the case to some extent. She de.
clined to make any comment, saying: 1T
will do me no good to discuss my affairs
in the newspapers. There has been SC
much Misrepresentation that l have de
cided to do no further talking, and | an
also acting OH the advice Of my attor
ney in this respect
There are many things which DR.
Chadwick will have to explain, and ]
hope he will do So" said Prosecutor

be tried on the Indictment separately OF
together. Each has a right to trial sin
ely if it is desired. The Chadwick in.
veStigation, so far as this jury is con.

this concludes our inquiry into this mat

other developments"

flying because Of illness.
Whether Mrs. Chadwick will again be
summoned will depend on counsel for Re

PEELED to evaculats their position on Etz

The japanese, the correspondent adds,

Port Arthur. The, express determine
ton to capture Port Arthur before the
Chinese new year. An attack is prepar-
ing that will be on hitherto unequaled
scale, and it will mean either success OF
terrible disaster to the besiegers.
The correspondent concludes by stat
ing that it is said that Gen. Nogi has
asked for 10000 achievements from ia
pan.
Advices from headquarters of the Jap

Dec. q, state that the capture of the
north fort on cast kekwan mountain
by the japanese is Of much Importance.
because it opens way up the gorge
to the highest hills and will render easier
the capture of the mountain.
st. Petersburg military critics do not
attach vital importance to the capture
of the north fort Of Kekwan mountain.
They declare it is not part of the main
line of defenses of Port Arthur, and
therefore is without direct influence on
the fate of the fortress.

MURDER MATTER is DROPPED
No Further Investigation to be Made
by the State Authorities.

Notwithstanding that the only evidence
that an insane patient at the state asy-
lum killed w. +. Mccartney, is the
statement of the insane murderer and
the fact that the two men were supposed
to be alone in the ward at the time of
the murder, it is very probable that no
further investigation will be made into
the matter by the state board of public
land and buildings. The reason for this
is that Frank Mccartney, brother of the
dead man was called to Lincoln at the
time of the murder and expressed him.

of the insane man.
While the circumstances point to the
death of Mccartney at the hands of DIR.

ent of the institution, no one there has

have occurred. Each man had his hands
