II his WIG was luClO.
VIM. Coultry. we'll known as hack
driver, testified that when Planter
came to his house on Sunday, April 1,
he told him that threats had been
made to kill his wife. He also said.
according to Coultry, that he asked
his wife to go to Ridgewood. hoping
It would pacify her after a row they
had had.
Anderson Stroud, negro laborer
with stains of whitewash On his shoes,
had heard quarreiS, between the Plant

saw Rebecca Planter about dark on
either Friday or Saturday afternoon.
He said that although living next the
Planters he had never had any diff
Guilty with either.
Sheriff Coleman testified that when
Rebecca Planters body was found her
skirts were turned up and pinned
around her neck. He also testified that
Planter made half dozen statements
to him but COL Haskell objected to
this on the ground Of incompetency.
Mr. E. L. Mattison of Van Meters

ed the sheriff.
From the testimony of DR.. Griffith
and Mr.. Mattison it seems very prob
able that the woman was strangled to
death and Sheriff Coleman's testimony
about her clothing strengthens the be-
lief that she was murdered. Perhaps
her husband may have committed the
crime and he is undoubtedly sly
negro. There was some surprise that
the Jury did not hold him for inves-
tigation. This would not pecessarily
mean an indictment for murder but
simply q way to ind out the facts.

Successor TO General kuropatkin May
BE Appointed.

ST. Petersburg, Feb. 17.-Many ru-
mors are current of ministerial and
military changes, including report
that War Minister Sakharoff may be
sent to relieve General Kuropatkin,
and also one to the effect that M.
Bouligan, minister of the interior, is
not in sympathy with the situation and
may retire in favor of General Trepoff,
governor general of St. Petersburg.
The successor of Nj. Muravieff, former
minister of justice, appointed ambas-
sador at Rome, has not yet been ap-
pointed. Almost anything is likely to
happen, but nothing definite can be as
certained.
Annensky, editor of Russian Wealth,
who was arrested simultaneously with
Maxim Gorky, the author and reform
leader, has been released. Upon his
appearance before a scientific society
he was received with enthusiasm.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1.-THE en-
ployes of the Putiloff iron works ap-
peared at the works during the day,
but instead of resulting their tasks
demanded as a condition of going to
work the release of their comrades
who are under arrest. Similar action
was taken by the men of the Neya
works. Upon other grounds the work
men again went out at the Franco
Russian works. the Russo-American
rubber works, the st. Petersburg car
works and the Nicholas railroad shops.
Considerable mystery surrounds the
recrudescence of the strike movement,
it being rumored that Father Gopon is
again directing operations through his
lieutenants.

FOUR PROBABLY FATALLY.
Eight Workmen Injured by Explosion
of Sulphur.

New York, Feb flight workmen
were badly injured by an explosion OF
sulphur in the Brooklyn sulphur works
in Brooklyn during the day and were
removed to hospitals suffering from
burns and from inhaling the fumes of
the burning sulphur. Four are be-
lieved to have received fatal injuries.
Firemen and policemen, who brought
them out of the building, were them
selves much affected by breathing the
sulphur fumes and at one time ten
firemen were lying on the sidewalk
with ambulance surgeons administer
ing restoratives.
The explosions are supposed to have
been caused by the ignition of the sui
phur by a spark caused by the pres
ence OF a nail in the mechanism of one
of the sulphur grinding machines.

HISTORY OF ASPHALT CASE.
litigation Of American Company ir
Venezuelan Courts.

Washington, Feb. 17.-Some time
last spring the Venezuelan court, be-
fore which an application had been
filed by the Venezuelan government
for vacation of the franchise of the
asphalt company, decided that the cor
poration had forfeited it's charter
rights and on application OF the gov
ernment appointed receiver for the
property. The American Asphalt com
pany sought to secure reversal OF
the order for the appointment OF a
receiver and the court entertained its
motion to that effect, but it has now
decided adversely upon this. The de-
cree stops the asphalt company from
further efforts to regain possession of
its property by appeals to the Venezu-
elan courts. But at the same time it
lodged the motion now dismissed by
the Venezuelan supreme court the as
phalt company made strong appeal
to the state department here for aid,
asserting that it had been denied JUS
tice by the Venezuelan government.
The president requested Attorney
General Moody to report whether or
not there had been
Miscarriage of Justice
In this case such as would warrant a
formal protest by this government.
After an exhaustive consideration of
the subject the department of justice
has prepared an opinion, but SO far
this has not been formally returned to
the president. 1t is believed that the
opinion is to the effect that the as
phalt company has not been fairly
treated not only according to the prin-
ciples of English law, but even taking
rs q basis the ordinary Venezuelan
legal practice. However, the president
has not yet determined upon the
course he shall pursue in this matter.
Minister Bowen, meanwhile, is waiting
for instructions, his status at Caracas
being rather delicate, owing to the
fidelity with which he has executed
the state department instructions at
various stages in the progress of the
asphalt cases before the Venezuelan
courts.
Now that President Castro has re-
turned to Caracas it Is expected that
our minister will renew his efforts to
prevent the case from proceeding to
a point where a summary demand
must be made upon the Venezuelan
government to right the wrong which
1t Is alleged to have committed in
this case.
