LANGUAGE OF ARMY.
Its Settlement May Cause Serious
Trouble In Hungary.

lTOuDiS III Ilul9SIy'
Vienna. March 7.-Judging by re,
ports received last night from Buda.
pest, a conflicting between the crown
and the Hungarian nation appears pos.
sible, and even probable. The contend.
ing interests cannot agree on the mat
ter of military reforms, and particu
larly on the use of the Hungarian
tongue in the Hungarian army as the
language Of command, Hungarians de-
claring that this reform must be insti
tuted and the emperor that it is impos.
sible. Neither side shows signs OF
weakening and this question of Ian.
guage OF command is more pregnant
of danger today than ever before.
Six out Of sixteen Hungarian politi.
cal leaders have already been received
in audience by the emperor. They
and others who were received in audi
ence before these sixteen were called
to Vienna have made it known that
the emperor declares that the military
demands of the united opposition par
ties are inadmissable, characterizing
them as meddling and intrusion upon
his prerogatives. He said he could not
permit existing conditions in the army
to be altered, and asked the politicians
with whom he conferred to use their
efforts to persuade the united opposi-
ton to exclude the demands for mill
tary reform from their program. This
the opposition shows no signs of want
ing to do.

Mrs. Cassie Chadwick Collapsed on
First Day of Her Trial.
SESSION TERMINATED SUDDENLY
Jury Secured In Two Hours-Woman's
Attorneys Confident She VIII Be
Acquitted-carnegie and Mrs. Beck
with Were Present.

Cleveland, March IA complete
nervous collapse by Mrs Cassie L..
Chadwick brought Monday, the first
day of her trial, TO an abrupt close at
3:45 in the afternoon.
z. X. Halter of Oberlin, the second
witness called by the state, was on
the stand and had answered but two
questions when Mrs Chadwick, who
was very pale, whispered to her attor-
neys that she would be compelled to
leave the room. She passed out quiet
ly, and upon reaching the anteroom
sank into a chair in faint. Two
trained nurses, who were in the court
room, were hastily summoned and in
a few moments Mrs. Chadwick was re-
vived. She was in no condition ID re-
turn TO the courtroom, however, and
Judge Tayler adjourned the trial until
another day.
1t was an exciting day for Mrs.
Chadwick and she took the kee- est in
terest in all the proceedings.
The trial made rapid progress. The
jury was accepted within two hours,
and in the afternoon the opposing
counsel outlined their cases and the
taking of testimony was commenced.
Twenty-eight witnesses have been
subpoened by the government, and as
far as can be ascertained none have
been summoned by the defense.
The Charges.
The attorneys for Mrs. Chadwick, j.
p. Dawley, Judge Francis ]. Wing and
Sheldon F. Kerruish, are confident that
the government will be unable to
prove its case.
Shorn Of its legal phraseology, the
charge on which Mrs. Chadwick is ar
raigned is conspiracy against the laws
of the United States-the conspiracy,
as defined by the government, resting
in the agreement between her and the
officials of the Citizens National bank
of Oberlin, o., to issue and negotiate
certified checks when she had no
money in the bank.
Andrew Carnegie was present, as
was also Mrs. c. F. Beckwith, widow
of the Oberlin banker, whose institu-
ton failed owing to the transactions
with Mrs. Chadwick.

PARTED WITH HER MONEY.
Detroit Woman Alleges She Was Badly
Duped by corunna Man.


Duped by Corunna Man.
Corunna, Mich, March with the
filing of an affidavit in the county
clerks Office here by Attorney c. i.
Bartlett OF Detroit, in behalf of Mrs.
Amelia l.. Stuart of that city, and the
subsequent arrest of Glare S. Bingham,
man well-known throughout this Sec
ton, a peculiar tangle of affairs,
breathing of matrimonial promises,
breach of faith and the duping of an
innocent woman out of thousands OF
dollars, reducing her to almost penury,
has just come to light.
The story is a long enc, but when
stripped of details it practically
amounts to the following, as related
by Mrs. Stuart and revealed by the
AFFIDAVIT:
In February, 1903, through an ad-
vertisement in paper, inserted by
Bingham, Mrs. Stuart and Bingham
became acquainted, he stating that he
wished to secure financial aid for
some stock-raising project. Finally
Bingham proposed to the woman and
was accepted, but before they were
married he introduced her to "Dr."
Jones, who was promoting a patent
medicine scheme. Bingham finally in
duced Mrs. Stuart to invest $4,000 in
mortgages and cash, along with a like
sum from himself, into the business.
The concern failed, and according to
her story Bingham got her to deed
over TO him farm which had al
ready been mortgaged, he to sell it and
return the balance. $4,000, to her, but
| this he never did.
Two separate actions have been
brought against Bingham, one to re-
cover the money received for the farm
and the other to recover alleged losses
in the medicine company. He fur
nished bail.

PECULIAR OATH.
Left by Louis Hardy OF Homer, Who
Was Slain In Bed.

Was Slain In Bed.
Battle Creek, Mich, March T.
Among the effects of the late Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Hardy of Homer was found
a paper written by Louis Hardy and
containing an oath given by him in
which he declared he would be true
to a certain woman in question and
also to his lawful wife, but not to any
other woman. He swore that if this
oath he broke, he hoped his tongue
would rot
Mrs. Hardy's diary also contained
extracts which could be said to throw
some light upon the recent tragedy. 1t
speaks of the way in which day after
day Hardy went out with the woman
in question and spent much time with
her. The following is an extract from
Mrs. Hardy's diary:
"This can go on no longer. The af-
fair has reached its climax. / am al
most crazy"
1t is still believed by some Homer
people that the couple were murdered.

DON'T SPIT IN CHICAGO.

The traveller who goes to Chicago
these days had better do all his splitting
before he leaves home, or else keep his
wits about him or her. and not spit on
the sidewalk while there. For they
have brand new anti-spitting ordin-
ance up there that forbids splitting on
the sidewalks. The result is that the
Justice courts are so crowded every
morning with those who have mad
vertently spit on the walk that other
business is almost suspended. The line
is not less than n dollar and court costs.

Hesitate About SuppOrting the
 Arbitration Treaties
VALUABLE BOOKS STOLEN
congressmen Complain That Franked Matter Has Beer Disappearing With Startling ReguarIity--
 Clayton Talks Repeal Act.

Washington, February 6.-SpeciaI.)- Hostility on the part of senators from the southern states continues to make doubtful the fate of the arbitration treat ies. But for the fact that there are sena- tors who think the treaties will permit the arbitration and collection of the prin- cipal and interest of the repudiated bonds of the southern states issued during the carpet bag days, 1t is likely that they would have been ratified long ago.
 The pressure of the administration for ratification has been continuous, and the President is doing everything he can to dispel the argument of the southern sen- ators that the treaties can ever be used as vehicle for the collection of carpet bag bonds held abroad. The southern senators seek an amendment providing that no such question as the repudiation debt of a state shall come within the the treaties Failing to get that amend ment, they want one declaring that in matters concerning any of the states of the union a separate treaty must be submitted before the matter can be ar bitrated The southern senators have an ally in Senator Spooner, of Wiscon- sin, who is aiding them Tn keeping the treaties in committee. Pressure has been exerted upon Senator Spooner and 1t Is believed that he Is favorable to their views

We do not believe that there is any necessity any general demand for the longer retention of the law It has tended to burden the federal courts with litigation. which we believe could have just as well be conducted by the states The friends of the present bankruptcy law. who belong to the pres- ent creditor cla-s are constantly endeav- bring to perfect this act Into machinery for the collection of debts, minimizing or ignoring as far possible the primary purpose of bankruptcy legislation-the re- lief of unfortunate debtors. The country is now in such condition that 1t can, without hurt to the great interests, dis pense with the bankruptcy law. Should a panic arise and commercial disasters overwhelm the country then 1t might be advisable to enact a temporary bankrupt cy law

WALKING DOES NOT
 SHOW PATRIOTISM
PRESIDENT OF UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK WILL NOT ALLOW STUDENTS TO MARCH IN THE INAUGURATION PARADE.

New York, February 6.-In an address to the undergraduates, Chancellor Mac cracken of New York university today expressed himself as opposed to the plan to have college men in the inaugural pa rade at Washington. After saying that he in common with other college pres- dents had received letter from the in augural committee requesting his aid in the matter, the chancellor continued: T have declined to take up this matter be- cause I think this inaugural committee is doing a very foolish thing. They are at- tempting to take one-tenth of the col lege students of the country to Washing ton to perform no higher mission than march an hour or two along the avenue and stand for an hour or two about the capital building.
 My first objection is that the whole plan would convey to students a weak and false notion regarding the best way of evidencing patriotism. It asks nothing from the brains of students. It asks for their legs and feet. This call to prove our patriotism by marching is like a demand that we prove our religion by ceremony and genufection. Another ob- jection is that the plan is thoughtless breaking into the term of college work, vith . demand for recess"
