pointed out that there Is an apparent
conflict between the dispatch from

ing that all was quiet at Yinkow on

to the pressure on the telegraph at the

EARD1ET IN HIS oWN DEFENSE.
Attempt to Prove That He Bought Re-
 roIver to KnI nimselE

Bridgeport, March 1T. = Did Joseph Eardley intend to kill himself when he bought the revolver with which it is charged he took. the life of Mrs. Law renee? In his direct examination this afternoon, he testified that such was his intention, and he took the revolver ill his hand and sat with it beside a window in Lang's house the morning of the tragedy, and looked across to the house that sheltered his wife.
 The thought came to him that per haps there might be some sort of a reconciliation between them. but after a while he abandoned that suggestion as hopeless. Eardley said he had for weeks been following his wife about when she was upon the street, spurred on by the belief that she was unfaithful to him. He had seen her upon two or three occasions in company with mar ried man upon the street, and on two occasions he had accosted the man and demanded an explanation as to why he was in company with Mrs. Eardley. Eardley was asked by his counsel why he did not shoot himself at the time he had the revolver at Lang's when he thought of so doing. To this Eardley replied: T wish to God had
 Several times during the examination the accused was in tears. and during the four and half hours he was on the witness stand he appeared to be under | a severe mental strain. This was more manifest toward the end of the after noon when, in reply to a question of counsel, he exclaimed hysterically against the torture the persistent in quiries appeared to cause him and for few minutes the examination was dis continued to give him time to recover until it was ordered resumed by the court. The prisoner made several ac- cusations against his wife and all through his testimony, Mrs. Eardley clad in black, sat in the front row of the spectators. watching her husband with flashing eyes, and at times a crim- son wave of indignation would sweep over her face as she heard the story of his suspicious Of his fidelity.
 During an intermission she retired with her sister and State Attorney Will Hams. It is thought she may be put on the stand in rebuttal by the state to counteract her husbands charges.

PRIEST WINS CASE.
Nebraska Bishop Nos Upheld by shs
 Courts

Lincoln. Neb.. March 17.-Bishop Bo- nacum, of the Catholic diocese of Lin coin, was defeated in a long pending controversy with Father William Mur- phy, one of the priests of his diocese. by an opinion rendered tonight by the Supreme court. The court affirms in every particular the decision of the dis trict court of Seward county, and en- joins the bishop from disturbing Father Murphy in the possession of the church property at the Town of Seward. The court announces in it's opinion that it's rulings will be in accord with those of the ecclesiastical court when there is no infraction of the civil law, but that it is unable to concur in the bishops con- tention that the court of Rome has ruled in his favor and against the priest. Bishop Bonacum's appeal is dis missed.
 Many months ago the bishop removed the priest as pastor at Seward and later excommnuicated him, but Father Mur- phy, with the aid of the trustees, re- taiped possession of the church prop erty and continued to hold services.

 WITH JAI ALAL
ParaphsrnaIla Brought ln During Dis- cussion Of the Wood Cnse-General's Champions score Point in Ills Favor-Mr. AIger Has Letter Written by Teller compiimsnsing Wood.

Washington, March r. = With the paraphernalia for playing jai alai, a game which figures conspicuously in the contest against the confirmation of General Leonard Wood to be major general. members of the United States senate amused themselves for more than an hour this afternoon. protected
 from the gaze of the public by the closed doors Of an executive session. A lively interest was manifested in the game. Senators Proctor, Cockrell,
 Foraker. Teller Scott, Pettus, Black
 burn and others who participated in the hearings before the military affairs committee. were the opponents of jai alia. Senators Cockrell and Foraker, who paid extensive visits to Cuba while
 the "pelota" season was at it's height. explained that the gambling features of the game are not essential to it's adoption by the Cubans, while Senators
 Blackburn. Scott and Teller contended
 that without the betting privileges the
 Jai Alai company would not have made
 application to General Wood for the concession.
 General Woods defenders scored a
 point when Senator Patterson admitted that he had spent day studying the testimony in regard to the game and
 had come to the conclusion that it con- tained nothing detrimental to General | Woods conduct and no reason for op- position to his confirmation. The sen- ator said that he had expected to op- ] pose confirmation on the strength of l the testimony against General Wood but that more urgent reason than l that must be advanced, In regard to
 jai alai. the principal speakers were
 Senators Culberson, Patterson, Hoar, 1 Teller, Proctor and Blackburn. Senator I Quarles resumed his speech on support
 of the nomination when the senate went
 into executive session at 12:53 D. m. and I held the flood until D. m. It had been l expected that Senator Teller would fol- 1 low. but on account of the late hour a
 general discussion was had instead.
 Senator Foraker will speak tomorrow in defense of General Wood and will oc-
 cuDy most of the Gay. This win carry the case over until Saturday night at least. as both Senators Teller and Alger are scheduled for speeches. Sem

 tion fl, Favor of It.


 Minneapolis, March 17.-The Minne- sota state republican convention to se- lect four four delegates at large to the national convention at Chicago met here this afternoon. Mayor Hugo, of Duluth. was made permanent chair man. The convention was addressed by Gov. Van Sant. who was introduced as "The hero of the merger" He declar- ed that the party had in Roosevelt on invincible candidate, and that it occcu- pied an impregnable position. But that party must not stand still, he said, it must move on. He was a believer in protection, but no tariff schedule should be so sacred that it could not be chang ed with changed conditions. The tariff should be revised, he urged, and revised by it's friends, not by it's enemies. Re ciprocity, the governor declared. was the battle cry to couple with Roosevelt.
 There was no fight on the selection of Senators Nelson and Clapp, Governor Van Sant and Thomas Lowry of Minne- apolis as the four candidates. The platform endorses the Roosevelt admin istration, and demands the renonina- ton and election of the president.
