Prosecution Scores One When pr. KO-
 fisher Takes stand.
 Chicago, May 15.-Testimony for the defense began today in the trial of Jo- ham Hoch, charged with wife murder. The defense waived any opening ad- dress to the jury. Dr. Gustav Kollsh- er an expert for the defense combatted the theories set forth by Dr. Lewke, Professor Haines and other experts for the State, in regard to the cause of death of Mrs. Welicker-Hoch. Dr. Kolisher declared that had arsenical poisoning been the cause. there would have been noticeable corroding of the mucous membranes of the stom- ach.
 The testimony of Dr. Kolisher that the arsenic found in the body of Mrs. Hoch came there as a result of natural contact with the ground in the ceme- tery, which Is saturated, according to pr. Kolisher, with arsenic from the different embalming fluids contained in the bodies buried there, received a se- we're setback when States Attorney Olsen began his cross examination.
 Do you agree with the statement of medical experts that arsenic placed in the ground will only traverse twen- ty-nine inches in twenty-four days?" asked MT. Olsen.
 q remember reading that and I sup pose I agree to it," replied the doctor.
 Then will you explain why or how seven grains of arsenic could make its way through the casket and instead of permeating the body which you say 1t did, confine itself to the stomach and liver of that body?'
 T cannot say. the witness replied.
 The doctor refused to admit that Mrs. Hoch was poisoned by arsenic as he said there are any number of things that might have caused her death"
 It Is probable that all the evidence will be finished in the case tomorrow morning and the argument will com mence in the afternoon.

TariR Reform,n Death Blow.

London, May 15.-The Chronicle this morning claims that 1t has good hu- thority to assert that the government has decided to postpone the dissolu- ton of parliament until the fall of 1906 and that this decision means the death blow to tariff reform. It is ru- mored in Liberal quarters that Pre- mier Balfour will refuse to accept Jo- seph Chamberlain's compromise pro- posals and that the struggle will re- suit in Austen Chamberlain resigning the chancellorship of the exchequer.
 While 1t is impossible to confirm ei- ther of the reports such an issue is con sidered by many well-intormed politicians as extremely probable.
