HEREAFTER PRlTCHARD
WILL SET TIME LIMIT

Mr.. Douglass opened the session or
the Machen trial today by asking that
some time limit be placed on the argu-
ments, so that they might be concluded
by Saturday afternoon. He pointed out
that Monday was a legal holiday. and il
would be necessary TO adjourn from
Saturday to Tuesday.
Mr. Douglass asked that the argu-
ment be limited TO ten hours on each
side Mr.. Conrad protested. saying that
It was not right to put on a limit after
the argument had begun and one speech
had been made.
Pritchard Forearmed.
Justice Pritchard said he would not
impose a limit at such a late day. but
would in the future limit the time in
any case that came before him.
Mr.. Kumler-Major Conrad will have
four hours to talk.
Justice Pritchard-It strikes me you
will all talk as long as your breath lasts,
and the longest winded man viii make
the best impression.
L. S. Douglass then began the opening
argument for the defense. He said the
prosecution had attempted to deceive
and mislead the jury by a display Of
the checks between the Defendants The
passing
Of money, but claimed it was in pay
ment Of honest obligations.
Reads Prayer.
Mr.. Douglass read the granted PRAYER
Of the defense in which the jury will be
instructed that Croft had right to pay
Lorenz and Lorenz had a right To make
payments on an honest debt due Ma
chen, provided such payments did not
influence Machens official conduct.
Traces Oil Deal.
Mr.. Douglass then traced the oil deals
between the Machen ana the Lorenz
brothers. The sale of Ferdinand Ma
chen's interest to A. w. Machen for
ZOO, and its subsequent sale TO George
Lorenz was perfectly fair and above
board, and Ferdinand sold out to es-
cape liability, as he desired to retire
from business.
There was not a scintilla OF evidence
10 support the insinuations OF the prose-
cution that the note for S25, 900 and the
subsequent dealings OF the parties were
the Gevices of grafters. II was not only
Lorenz's right but his duty 10 pay the
note.
Perfectly legitimate
The meeting between Lorenz and the
Groffs was perfectly legitimate. and so
was their contract If a conspiracy was
formed. some act must have been done
in connection with Y. yet a large mum
ber OF the alleged acts took place at a
time when Loren2 was In Europe.

LONDON, Feb. 1-DiplOmatic circles

The most disquieting feature Is the
fact that only diplomatic pressure can

tagonists. Neither Austria nor Russia
would use force to prevent hostilities.
Turkey and Bulgaria both understand
this. and they are now consulting their

Can't Rely on Greece.

Turkey is now unable to rely on the
support Of Greece, for the pro-Turkish
attitude at Athens has so reused un-
friendly feeling in Europe that Greece
is now changing her attitude toward
Bulgaria.
1T would be no cause for surprise
should Turkey assume the initiative at
any time, hoping to crush Bulgaria by
a sudden blow and thus settle the Bal
kan situation for many years"
IL is pointed out that the Albanian up-
rising is one Of the most dangerous fea-
lures Of the situation. The Albanians.
however. are rebelling against the pro-
Christian reforms, and ii is believed they

HANNA FUNERAL TRAIN
SPEEDS THROUGH NIGHT

PITTSBURG. Feb. 1s.-Through the
hours Of night the Hanna funeral party
Travelled along the valleys and over the
mountains of Pennsylvania bearing TO
their last resting place the body Of Sen
ator Hanna. 1t was a trip from the
scene Of his later and greater triumphs
to the field OF his early struggles and
lesser victories; from the scene Of his
lamentable death to the home Of the
neighbors and friends he had loved so
well. 1T was a journey made mournful
by the manifestations of sympathy for
those bereft and esteem for a great man
gone.
This was especially true Of working
man along the route who felt that in
the passing of Senator Hanna they had
lest not only a friend who was loyal
TO their interests. but one who had the
power TO do them good.
Left at Six O'clock.
The funeral train left Washington over
the Pennsylvania Railroad at o'clock
last night. 1t comprised a baggage car.
dining car. two Pullman sleopcrs. a pri-
yate car. and an observation car The
private car was occupied By the family.
The Pullmans were used by relatives
and friends.
The casket and the floral tributes that
were the wonder of those who saw them
at the ceremonies in the Capitol yester-
day, were in the observation car. Half
the seats from the rear end OF the car
had been taken out 20 make room for
them. The lights were burning and per-
sons were able TO get a glimFze of the
casket and flowers.
The members of the funeral party
were Mrs. NJ A. Hanna. Mr.. and Mrs

OF the peninsula.

LONDON, Feb. lS-News from the
Far East today again consists Of the

Is little else of import on hand This
news. however. tends to confirm the be-
lief already current in semi-oficiaI quar-
ters that every effort on the part of the
japanese officials is being bent toward
getting in thoroughly efficient condition
for a concentrated action against Port
Arthur.
That an Immense force of troops is
being rushed 10 the Liao-Tung Peninsula
seems certain. As to the number, re-
ports differ. but all dispatches display
a remarkable unanimity in stating that
this is the objective point of the ma
jority Of the transports which have been

several days past

HOPE FOR THE LEPER.

A Cuban physician, DR.. Matthias
Duque, who has been experimenting
with leprosy. aided by a subvention
from the Cuban government, an
nounces that he has found a cure for
the disease. His announcement being
accompanied by such potent evidence
as number of persons who were
lepers and. are now in the best of
health, it is worth while to give heed
to it.
DIR. Duque says that he has found in
the ''manglerojo," or sea grape. a spe-
cifie for the dread disease. His atten-
ton was compelled to the extremely
healthy condition of certain tribes OF
Indians who gathered at fixed seasons
in such places as the sea grape -four
ished and who RECALLED themselves by
chewing the bark and roots of the veg
etable, the while enjoying the bathing
privileges. He experimental at win

Indians had treated themselves One
indiviaua1 afflicted with specific 1eprosy
was turned out perfectly whole in
few months. Many others have been
cured in a year. There appears to be
no doubt Of the efficacy Of Duque's
treatment. and the medical world is in
terested
It is worthy Of note. however, that
the learned doctor did not conf1ne him
self to treating his patients with ex-
tract of the "manglerojo." He accom-
modated them with pleasant quarters,
fed them eggs, milk, cream, bread and
fresh beef. Moreover, he compelled
them to take hot bath every day.
This feature of the treatment is also
worthy Of consideration. 1t may pos
sibly have had something to do with
the cure. The Iepers being generally
filthy in their habits and their disorder
being inIsome sort manifestation of
mall nutrition, it is barely possible that
the insistence on personal cleanliness,
supplemented by a highly nutritious
diet supplied under ideal climatic con-
ditions, may have had something to do
with the cure.
We have no desire to throw any sort
of discredit upon DR.. Duque's discovery
Of ''manglerojo," but we do beseech
our medical friends to take particular
notice Of the supplementary treatment.
1t might prove valuable in the treat
ment Of disorders with which we are
more nearly concerned than Ieprosy-
and if the doctors want to add "man-
glerojo" as a medicament, why, no harm
can come Of it. DR.. Duque may not
be a discoverer, but he appears to be a
pretty wise physician.

ing the offensive and laying in ashes
some Of the cities Of the island king
dom. The whereabouts of these YES
sells has not been actually known dur
ing all these weeks: and as far as
Russia is concerned, they might as
well have been with her other warships
in some port of the Baltic.
So far, then. Japan has carried out
her scheme as originally formulated
with wonderful success and rapidly.
She has annihilated Russia's sea power,
she has virtually annexed Korea, she
has crossed the Yalu and intrenehed
herself strongly On the other side, she
has defeated the Russians in a great
pitched battle, she has invested Port
Arthur, she has cut the main line of
Russian communication with Manchu-
ria and the sea, and she has forced the
Mukden and Hardin in full retreat.
Russia on her part has not scored
single point. Her ships are lost or
helpless, her prestige is broken, if not
destroyed, her whole Eastern empire
is threatened, every advantage that
she wrested from Japan at the close
of that nations war with China has
been taken away; and with due
watchfu1ness on Japan's part there
appears to be no reason why she should
not maintain every point that she now
occupies indefinitely at the enemy's
cost. Indeed, if she be determined
enough, she can probably drive Russia
out Of Manchuria entirely.
This is the summing up of results
in war of only a few weeks dura-
ton. This is what has been accom-
plished by a people entirely inexperi-
enced in modern warfare, with only
their own genius to guide them
against the mightiest empire of the
modern world. Wherever ones SYM
pathies might happen to lie, he cannot
withhold the tribute of unqualified and
enthusiastic admiration for Japan.

ABOUT THE BALL PARK.

e lilo b is pleased to find that
it's disclosure of unsafe conditions at
the down town ball park has already
borne fruit in the making of some al
terations looking toward greater safety
for the public. The authorities have
wisely taken action to remedy defects
in theaters and other places of public
assemblage that might. lead to loss of
life in case of fire or panic. The condi-
lions at the ball park, where immense
crowds often congregate, have been
altogether improper, and official cog
nizance of them should and win be
taken
1t is characteristic of The gentleman
responsible for the grand stand as it
was that he should, at the very mo-
ment when he was being moved to
tardy and reluctant action by the dis
closures of T h Clio b e, supported by
the opinions Of public officials, de-
nounce The Globe in unmeasured
terms for thinking more highly of the
peoples safety than of his private in
terests. 1t is one of the traits that
have won for him his unenviable posi-
ton in the community and among his
business associates. And the motives
that he attributes to others are the
only ones which he himself UNDER
stands.
The people Of ST. Paul have a ten
der spot for baseball, and The Glob e
shares that amiabIe weakness. There
fore it happens that it's accounts are
the clearest, the fullest, the most i'm
partial and in all respects the best
that are published here. 1t is a mis-
fortune for lovers of the game that it
should have to be played in unfit sur
roundings; under conditions which re-
duce it so largely to a matter of chance
by reason of cramped quarters pre-
venting good play from earning it's re-
ward, along with discomfort and risk
to the spectator. 1t is a double mis-
fortune to the players who know how
to play fine ball, that they should not
have the benefit of the larger popular
enthusiasm that would come to them
were they allowed to play on grounds
where play would tell; and were they
under the control of some real lover of
sport, some man who cared whether
they win or lose. some man who did
not use the baseball team merely as a
prop to not too prosperous business.
