Nfachen's Trial.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. 12.-With
eleven members of the criminal term
panel of 26jurymen in the box, still sub
ject to challenge, the second day OF the
Machen- Grof- Lorenz trial opened this
morning in the criminal branch of the
Supreme Court of the District of Column
bia. A new panel of sixty was present
So that the selection of a jury continued

side Charles A. Douglas, his principal

Croft, the other defendants, sat to the
rear and displayed little interest.
This mornings session opened at 1910
o'clock. Perry Heath entered the
court ROOM. He bowed TO a dozen or
more witnesses with whom he was close
ly associated in the PostOfice Depart
ment. No sign of recognition was ex-
changed between Machen and Heath.
The first several talesman called were
excused for various reasons. Some OF
them were employed by concerns which
had held contracts with Machen's diyi-
sion.
After about an hour the selection of
the jury was completed and the II men
were sworn in.
The court oyerruled a motion made by
the defense to elect on which count of
the indictment the case should be tried.
Mr.. Douglas, for the defense, then
moved that the witnesses be segregated.
This the court did, but on protest from
District Attorney Beach, Postofice In
spectors Mayer and Gregor were allowed
to remain in the court to assist
counsel for the government. Mr.. Beach
then made the opening statement of the
case. A recess was then taken.

sion, Mr.. Conrad introduced Charles j.
Bonaparte, his associate as special coun-
sci for the government. The first witness
was John NJ. Masten, assistant superin-

TUESDAY EVENING, JAN. 70, 1904.

TWENTY PROMINENT citizens OF New
Haven. Conn, headed by Professor Wooi-
sew. professor of international law at Hale
University, have signed and forwarded
to Senator Hoar a petition asking that
the Senate defer formal ratification OF
the Hay-Buna Varilla treaty and that
this Governments action in Panama be
subjected to careful and deliberate inves'
tigation. After declaring that there IS
a recognized body Of law which ought to
govern the conduct of nations irrespective
of their strength, the petition says thai
a belief has arisen in the minds OF many
in this country and abroad "that ID our
dealings with the state of Colombia we
have violated and are about TO violate the
rules of international law and that we
are adopting a line of conduct toward
that country which we would not
have taken against a stronger power. ="
The petition further says that the fact OF
Colombia's comparative weakness should
make us the more careful to avoid the
suspicion that we are making an unjust
use of our greater power; that the mere
existence of such a condition is injurious
to our honor and self-respect, and con-
cludes
We therefore respectfully ask that
before final ratification OF the Hay
Bunau-V arilla treaty our action in Pan
anna be carefully and deliberately inyes-
tigated to the end, not only that the re-
public may do no wrong, but that ITS
good reputation in the world, which is
dearer than any gain of lands or trade,
should suffer nc loss.
The above is a clear, logical and hon
est presentation of what should be equita-
BILE dealings between the United States
and a sister republic.

MAIL adyices to the War Department
received yesterday contain sensational
details of the 'battle'' with the MOrOs,
with which Gen. Leonard Wood inaugu-
rated his reign over Mindanao and Sulu.
At the time of the fighting the great
number of MorOs killed, some 3OO OF
more in one skirmish, seemed inexpllca-
able, but it now develops that among the
dead were many women and children
who went into battle, if it may so be
termed, armed only with knives. The
men. according to these same dispatches
had a variety Of firearms, including a lot
of Chinese guns. Following the battle
of November Is there were several Skin
mishes, in which the MorOs naturally
suffered extensively, though the Amerl-
cans sustained but few casualties. Then
came a tour of devastation, the country
being secured and the natives stores de-
stroyed wherever found. The poor
Fillipinos have the sympathy of all ma
tions save the United States and at the
rate they are now being decimated by
American soldiers there will be but few
left to be ~"benevolently assimilated.
But Gen. Wood wants to command the
army and he had to make war even If 1t
was on women and children.

Copper confined to fuctuate feverishly.
1t rallied 4 per cent, however, and
finally settled down close to the top
price. The movements elsewhere in the
industrials were without special feature.
Business became light after the first
hour or so, and traders were loath to
make important commitments pending
the uncertainties in connection with the
foreign political situation. The market
is without selling pressure, however,
but the larger interests appear willing
to see the short interest increased.
