ST. Petersburgy Sept. 2s.-M. Wittel
arrived here today and was accorded
very hearty reception by large croWo
of officials and others. In a prlet
speech replying to the welcoming adj
dress, Witte showed clearly he was
deeply touched by the welcome with
which he was received. When he left
st. Petersburg in July a small delega-
tion OF officials accompanied him to
the railroad station to bid him fare
well. There was no public demonstra-
'tion whatever. Today there were
seven or eight times as many officials,
despite the early hour of the trains

ave or six hundred people had collect
ed near where Witte would descend
from the train, and when he appeared

cheers to which Witte bowed &C.
acknowledgement. The spokesman then
advanced and said the address Of well

bareheaded The address read: You
have accomplished your difficult task
and the nation is grateful to you. You
have given credit for your success to
Emperor Nicholas, President Roose-
Welt, Emperor William. Of Germany
and to the press. You have forgotten
only yourself. We, however, fully ap-
ureciate your service to your country
The tree you planted at Wash1ngt ton
homestead at Mount Vernon will serve
as q token OF the union between the
two nations. You have done much.
s.For ourselves and for those who are
absent, we will once more shout the
hearty hurrah.' When the cheer had
died way Witte, who seemed deeply
moved by the sincerity welcome, adj
yanced few steps and delivered his
reply. He said: i was SO little pre-
pared for this kind Of reception that
must ask your pardon for the inco-
aaerence Of my words. have perform
cd my duty well, because have strict
" obeyed his majesty's instructions,
because the circumstances favored me.
because the world is weary OF this
bloody war. because all classes Of
American society from, President
Roosevelt down were In sympathy with
my and your cause, because was true
to my country and her and our inter-
ests.'' Wftte's last word was followed
by further loud and hearty cheering,
after which slowly advancing toward

friends and former colleagues.

part of the state that was not planted
till the middle of June, a month late.
All thru the spring there were reports
from Sage that corn was being re-
planted because of the wet weather and
there were reports that planting was
delayed because of the wet weather.
Not to say that 85 or 80 per cent of the
corn is passed danger from frost is ex-
aggeration. The corn should have till
the first of November at the least and
that corn that was planted the middle
of June will not be properly maturel
until Christmas There is no use in
fooling the farmers Of the state into
of frost when it is not, and no use in
reporting that there will be big crop
when all indications are that the crop
will not be excessively large. Mr.. Sage
says the crop will all be passed danger
from frost by October 1. am sure
there is no corn in the state better
than that from Glenwood and that

New York, Sept. 2S.-Henry Greaves,
a clerk employed by the Equitable Life
Assurance Society, continued his test
imony before the legislative insurance
investigation committee today. He
gave further details of the payment Of
checks to George II. Squire's trustee,
account. Concerning one entry Of $40.-
900, deposited to the account on July
IL, 1901 and the immediate withdrawal
Of the sum by draft, GreaNes said he
knew nothing He did not know where
the money came from, nor by wnom 1t
was withdrawn. He could supply no
information as to the profits OF one
syndicate, credited to. the Squire trus-
tee account.
George w. Perkins, vice president of
the New York Life Insurance Company
and member Of the banking firm of j.
P. Morgan & Co.. created a stir be-
fore the legislative Investigating COM
mittee today when he objected to the
,, request that he produce certain books
of Morgan & Co., to explain some of
that firms dealings with the New York
Life in connection with the sale of the
navigation syndicate bonds to the in
surance companyf He said he would
furnish copies of the entries referring
to the transactions in question, but
preferred not to bring the books. Mr..
Hughes, counsel to the legislative COM
mittee, for the first time during the
Investigation, showed signs Of anger
and said loudly:
II shall have to require that these
books be produced" "All right" re-
piled Perkins. Testifying to the pur-
chase of $4,000,000 of the Big Four
bonds from Morgan & Co., by the New
York Life, Perkins said he obtained
the bonds at $4,000 less than the price
stipulated by the Life Insurance COM
pany's finance committee, that in this
purchase and sale he, himself, repre-
sented both the New York Life, as
purchaser, and Morgan & Co., as seller.
Testimony was given by Henry Rog-
ers Winthrop, financial manager Of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society, to
the effect that when the navigation
syndicate, which turned out to be un-
profitable, made calls for money on it
George III. Squire, trustee, accounted
for payments on account of the syndi-
cate participation, money for the pay
ments was obtained by borrowing
$25O,0O0 from the Equitable Trust Co.
OF this amount $27,50O has been repaid.
Winthrop said, in his opinion, the
money advanced to the Squire trust
account on this transaction was really
| money of the Equitable society.

Special to Times-Republican.
Hampton Sept. 2S.-The case Of
Rev. G. E. Scott, the Waterloo preach
er whose escapade with q young girl
member Of his flock few years ago
caused a great sensation in Iowa,
bobbed up in the Upper Iowa confer
ence today and promises to be the
cause Of considerable contention. At
the morning session Rev. Nathaniel
Pye offered the following resolution,
which was signed by number Of well
known minister's:
whereas, The records Of the district
court Of Black Hawk county, Iowa,
show that Rev. G. e. Scott has been
released and discharged from the hos
pital for insane to the care Of his wife,
and that the indictment found against
him by the grand jury of said county
has been dismissed and the defendant
discharged.
Resolved, That special committee
be appointed by this conference to in
vestigate this case and report to this
conference such recommendations as
their investigation will justify"
Before the matter came to vote
substitute resolution was offered
providing that the case Of Scott be
referred to the committee on confer
ence relations. The substitute motion
was adopted.
It is probable that lively debate
will ensue when the conference COM
mittee makes its report. Just what
the object of investigating the case
is not known yet. Scott, it will be re-
membered, while pastor of the First
M. E. church at Waterloo, became
enamoured of young girl named
Daisy Dorian, then only about Is years
of age The couple eloped and were
apprehended in Indiana. They were
brought back to Waterloo and Scot.'s
friends succeeded in having him declar-
ed of unsound mind and he was sen. to
independence. Later he was indicted
by the Black Hawk county grand jury.
For number of years Scott lived at
independence, ostensibly an inmate OF
the institution, but really enjoying
complete liberty. living In cottage
with his wife and reporting occasion
ally to the physicians at the hospital
Sometime since he was declared cured
and discharged from the hospital. In
the meantime the girl married and Is
said to be living contentedly and hap
py. The Indictment has been dismissed
and Scott is now a free man.

GOVERNMENT WINS POINT.
Dispute Over Jury in Trial Of Meat
Packers Decided.

Chicago, Sept 28.-A victory was
scored yesterday by United States Dis
| trict Attorney Morrison in his struggle
to bring to a successful finish the pros
ecution of the meat packers. During
the argument against the demurrer
filed by Attorney Morrison against the
plea in abatement filed some time ago
by the defending attorneys, contesting
the Indictment which charges the
packers and their associates with con-
spiracy in restraining of trade, the
question Of the right of the packers
to appear in court at the time of the
impanelling of the federal grand jury
to challenge the jurors as they were
impanelled was raised, and Judge
Humphrey decided in favor of the gov
ernment.
In passing on this question, which
was one of the main points in the plea
in the abatement filed by the packers,
Judge Humphreys said:
II considered this question fully at
the time the jury was impaneled, and
came to the conclusion that there
was no duty resting upon the court or
any of it's officers to ask the proposed
defendants to come in and save any
rights they may have had, by objecting
to the array Of grand jurors. We will
not spend any time on this question,
as it has been settled as far as this
court is concerned"
Objection by the defendants to the
manner in which the jury was drawn
was then taken up and at the time of
adjournment last night, Attorney Ros-
enthal was reading authorities sup
porting his contention that the jury
was drawn from a part of the district
without the proper order of the court.
The jury was drawn from the eastern
district of the northern division Of
state and it is contended by defend
ants that the court ordered the jury
drawn from the "body" of the district,
meaning both the eastern and western
divisions.
The hearing will be resumed to-
