CALLS MANY WITNESSES.
Expert Testimony for Defense in the
Blydenburgh Trial.

Eldora, Ia, Jan. 29.-The defense in
the Blydenburgh murder trial occu-
pied most of the day in the introduc-
tion of expert testimony in an effort
to prove that evidence of arsenical
poisoning in the organs of the dead
woman might have been produced
from the embalming fluid used. Dr..
Pagelson OF Iowa Falls testified th
it would be impossible to tell from an
examination after death whether the
arsenic found in the organs came
there from the embalming process or
prior to death
DR.. Charles H. Hoffman of Des
Moines testified to the same thing
He was followed by experts from Mar
shalltown, Grinnell and other points,
including DR.. E. w. Clarke of Iowa
college.
The state claims to have scored
victory in the testimony of the de.
fendant's witnesses, it being alleged
that their evidence was contradictory
and will, therefore, not have weight
with the jury.

Mr.. Clay asked whether the senate,

Mr. CulioIn replied that it was his

Of Whitaker Wright. His death was
caused by suffocation in consequence

was perfectly sane and that there was
not Sthe slightest doubt that his death
was due to most deliberate suicide.
From the evidence at the inquest it
was shown that Wright had deter

Of AN adverse verdict and that he
went to court with cyanide tabloid
in his possession, while in his hip
pocket was a new revolver, fully load

tence Wright went to the lavatory,
while the tipstaff in attendance on
him remained outside. There he swal-
lowed the tabloid, returned to the con-

with whisky and water and died. One
OF the last things Wright said was:

main bore out the facts already cabled.
Neither the son nor the deceased's
closest friends, so they testified, ever
heard Wright even intimate that he
contemplated suicide. His solicitor,

REPLY ANxloUsLY AWAITED.
Japan Will Declare War if Answer Is
Unsatisfactory.


Toxic, Jan 29.-It is anticipated
that the answer of Russia to Japan's
latest note will reach Toxic not later
than nexe Monday. Besides the init
nation conveyed to Baron de Rosen,
the Russian minister at this capital,
that an early reply was desired, Min
lister Kurino, at St. Petersburg, called
on Foreign Minister Lamsdorf and
politely requested a response. Count
Lamsdorff promised that the reply of
his government would be delivered
within few days. 1t is said that the
Russian imperial council will discuss
the questions involved before the czar
at once and if an immediate decision
is reached the note may arrive in To-
kio on Saturday.
Russia's response is eagerly awaited
and if it should prove unsatisfactory
to Japan an immediate declaration OF
war seems unavoidable. The Japan
ese feel that the entire responsibility
for the outcome rests with Russia.
Some doubt is expressed that Rus
sia properly appreciates the deter
mination and temper of the Japanese
people and it seems incredible tina,
Baron de Rosen has failed to correct
ly inform the government at st. Pc
tersburg Of the situation.
Japan is busy perfecting financial
programme The announced plan to
issue bonds and increase taxation

but some objections have been made
to the proposed method of procedure
as we'll as to the redemption plan. 1t
is said that the final details will be
settled soon.
Premier katsura and the other
members of the Japanese cabinet en-
tertained at dinner during the even
ing a number of prominent. bankers
of the empire, who have gathered at
the capital to discuss the financial
situation and assist in the perfecting
of the governments programme. Later
the premier and cabinet will give a
dinner to a group OF millionaire finan-
ciers, and President Matsuwo of the
Bank of Japan will give banquet to
the visiting bankers, at which Matsu-
kata and Inoyou, former ministers of
finance, will deliver addresses.
The Marquis Ito, MatsUkata an
General Yamagata, members of the
imperial household finance council,
had an audience with the emperor
during the day, at which it was de-
cided that the imperial household
should subscribe to the government
bonds should they be issued. 1t was
undecided, however, what amount
should be taken. This will make the
emperor a personal subscriber to the
proposed bonds.
The government is receiving many
offers for the bonds and it is said tha
the issue will be oversubscribed sew
