 All the evidence adduced at today's hearing would seem to place the blame entirely on the men employed by the Rarus company.
 IT. V. Winchel, chief geologist for the Amalgamated Copper company. today tes- tified to discovering vast amounts of hay in the Rag" just above the place where the amalgamated miners were working. and this, he declared, was burned the stifiing smoke being forced in on the amalgamated men to prevent them from carrying out the orders of the United States court in making inspection of the Michael Dayitt to determine how much ore has been illegally extracted from the Michael Dayitt veins.
 According to testimony of miners who worked with Olesen and Dyvil from the time the first hole was blasted into the old working of the Michael Ravitt mine. they were continually obstructed by men from above. who threw rocks and other heavy missiles down the hole, besides setting off powder and blank fuses to scare them from their work.

 BREATHES HER LAST
ONE OF THE LAST OF THE NAPoLEoNS, DIES IN PARIS. DEATH CAUSES GREAT SORROW THROUGHOUT FRANCE.

Paris. January 2.-Frincess Mathilde, the only daughter of Prince Jerome Bona parte, died here at 2 O clock this evening.
 Shortly before the Princes expired for mer Empress Eugenia and Princess Clo- thilde visited the bedside. The princess became unconscious at o'clock this af- ternoon and remained in that condition until the end.
 The death of Princess Mathilde has caused sorrow throughout France, not on- ly because she was one of the last of the Napoleons, but because she was always known as 'the good princess
 Prince Jerome Bonaparte arranged q marriage between his daughter and Louis Napoleon, but without success. The pre- tender, who later became emperor, caused the breaking off of the match, and this rupture was followed by Princess Ma thide's marriage to Count Demidorff, a rich Russian. While they were in St. Petersburg, Emperor Nicholas conceived a great affection for the princess and gave her a decree of divorce. when she was no longer able to live with her hus- band.
 During the presidency of Louis Napo- leon, Princess Mathilde managed his house and dispensed the honors, retiring gracefully to her personal studies when Louis Napoleon married. During that epoch she was regarded as one of the most beautiful women in France. Since the fall of the empire. Princess Mathilde has maintained salon in Paris which was frequented by celebrities of the art literature and military world
 Until her last illness, the Princess was deeply interested in politics. and 1t Is said that after Joseph Reinach's defense of Captain Dreyfus, she sent to Reinach her card initialed "P. P. C." (pour prendre conge). a punishment she meted out to all who displeased her.

Telegram Sent to Judge Moore.
GOVERNOR JELkS
 WITHOUT AUTHORITY.

Montgomery, January 2.-(Special)- The telegraphic accounts of the attempt ed trials of the persons under arrest in Wilcox county charged with the murder of a negro at Pineapple recently make 1t appear that the governor of the state has the authority to convene special term of court for the trial of fragrant cases.
 Such, however, is not the case. There is a law on the statute books which in- tended to convey this power to the chief executive, but all lawyers have declared it unconstitutional In the law passed four years ago creating the position of supernumerary judge, two sections were inserted conveying the power to convene extra terms of court, but since no men, tions of this provision was made in the caption of the bill, it has never been en- forced. Some judges have emphatically stated that they would not hold term of court under the bill, as conviction would practically m gan judicial mur- der" There are ol vious other reasons why no attempt has been made to en- force a law that all have known would be declared unconstitutional on the test.
 A bill was introduced into the last leg islature seeking to clothe the governor with authority to convene extra terms of court and 1t passed the senate, but met defeat in the lower house. It would be but just to state that had Governor Jelks the power he would readily convene a term of the Wilcox circuit court for trial in the Pineapple cases. He has pub licly and officially so stated his position.
