JOHNSON WINS HIS
THREE-CENT FIGHT.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 13.-An agree
ment between Mayor Johnson and the
officials of the Cleveland Electric Rail-
way Company for the establishment
of the three-cent fare within the city
of Cleveland. in accordance with the
terms of the McKenna ordinance,
passed by the City Council Monday
night. will be ratified by the directors
of the railroad company at a meeting
which has been called for tomorrow.
The agreement is practically a full
victory for Mayor Johnson in the
fight he waged for nearly three years.
The McKenna ordinance provides for
a straight three-cent fare within GER
tain limits. These limits are at
many points coextensive with the city
limits, and are at no point more than
half a mile within the municipal
boundaries. Within these limits. a
straight three-cent fare is to be charg-
ed.
This does not entitle a passenger to
a transfer. For a transfer a tive-cent
fare must be paid as at present.

SOME SPIRIT SHOWN
IN THE FRAUDS TRIAL.
First Assistant Postmaster General
Was on the stand.


Was on the stand.
Washington, Jan. 13.-Robert ].
Wynne, first assistant postmaster gem
eral, was the central figure in the pos
tai trial to-day, and when court adj
journed until Friday. he was still on
the stand.
Mr.. Wynne's testimony occupied
most of the day, and he was subjected
to a rigid cross-examination by Charles
Douglass, counsel for the defense, dur
ing which the opposing attorneys had
several Tits, necessitating a word of
admonition from Justice Pritchard that
they must conduct the case in peace.
The first assistant postmaster gen.
seral was piled with questions designed
to test his knowledge of the duties of
his office. The witness frankly stated
that he had often signed papers pre-
pared in Machen's division without ex-
aiming into their contents, because
theY came to him in official form. and
because of the fact that he regarded
Machen as one of the most expert men
in the service, and relied upon him as
to the correctness of his acts.
did you know that Mr.. Machen
knew his business" Mr.. Wynne was
asked.
81 knew that Mr.. Machen knew
what he was doing" was the reply.
Did he know that you knew your
business?" Mr.. Douglass next inIuir-
ed.
"He knows it now" was the quick
retort, and the court crier was COM
PEELED to rap for order.
Counsel read a letter signed by Mr..
Wynne and dated as late at Jan. 1903,
aAdraGgad n (.rnffa nrdn
fasteners at $1.25 each, but Mr..
Wynne said that an order for that
number probably would not arrest his
attention.
John ]. Howley, Mr.. Wynne's chief
clerk, occupied the stand for a brief
time, the principal part of his testi-
mony relating to the fact that he sug-
gested to his superior officer. the adj
visibility of examining into the le-
gality of Machens initials and sigma
tture placed on letters, and acquisitions
by Machen's subordinates.

three canoes. Traders in that vicinity
say Indians are unfrlendly to all
strangers, allowing none to sleep
ashore. No Colombian forces were
seen at any time or place in Panama
territory. No trail or stream which
can be entered from the sea was
found. Everything about the gulf
same as when Atlanta visited there
the first time, except the chief having
uniform. Bancroft starts for north

THE movement of the Bancroft
Castine and Mayflower are in conse-

partment some days since to use every
possible effort for the pacification Of
the Indian tribes and to prevent as
far as possible the restlessness and
uneasiness that might follow from
the presence of strangers in their

ECKSTEIN NOT GUILTY
OF KILLING THE GIRL.
Prosecuting Attorney in No COndi-
ton to Conduct the Case.

Allentown, Pa, Jan. 13.-Alois Eek
stein, one of the lovers of Mabel
Bechtel, who was so mysteriously
murdered last October, was acquitted
this afternoon of completely in the
crime after a brief trial, in which the
conduct of the prosecution sorely tried
the patience, not only of Judge Trek
ter, but also that of the jurymen and
counsel for the defense.
J. Lichtenwalner, the district attor-
ney of Lehigh county, was so hefogged
that it was with difficulty the case
was carried to a conclusion. Several
times the court interfered and threat
ened to end the proceedings for the
day, unless the commonwealth con-
Quoted its case in a more orderly
manner.
At one time, the district attorneys
assistant in the case took charge on
ly to be set aside by the district at
torney later on. The court endured
the proceedings until after the jury
had been instructed to render a verdict
of acquittal, when Judge Trexter ad-
journed the court.
The district attorney wanted to go
ahead with the trial of the accused
members of the Bechte family, but
the attorney for the Bechtels protested
emphaticaly. The district attorney.
however, was insistent and ordered
the names of the defendants called,
but the judge Interrupted by saying
to the district attorney; DO you in
tend to conduct the prosecution your
self or will you rely on assistant
counsel? If the latter. the trial will
go on, otherwise, this court will adj
journ until tomorrow morning"
The district attorney proposes to
conduct this case himself muttered
the official.
Then this court stands adjourned
until o'clock tomorrow morning"
| ordered the judge,
The opening address of Attorney
Lutz, who is assisting the district at
torney was exceedingly brief, and did
| not give a strong indication that the
commonwealth expected to fasten COM
plicity in the murder on Eckstein.
Eight witnesses were examined. The
only point brought out was that Eek
stein and Mabel frequently quarreled
and that Eckstein is alleged to have
said to her: You are trying to drive
me to the grave, but you may get
there before me-"
This testimony was given by Mrs.
Brobst, Mabers sister who said she
overheard the remark about Easter
last year.
David Weisenberger refused to an
swer many questions put to him,

Toxic to Reuters Telegram Company,

Russian note was handed this after
noon to Baron DeRosen, the Russian
minister, and that negotiations will be
continued without any time limit be-
ing set for their termination.

prise in Toxic, according to the dis
patch, and it is now stated that Japan
never asked for the evacuation of
Manchuria, but on the contrary, frank
ly recognizes Russia's superior inter-
ests there. and her right to protect
them. Japan only demanded the real

respecting China's territorial integrity
in Manchuria, and the freedom Of res
idential rights, and international trade
