(By the Associated Press.)

North Platte, Neb.. Feb. 2S.--Mrs.
Louisa Cody today took the witness
stand in defense of her character and
good name which have been assailed
by w. F. Cody (Buffalo Bid in his
petition for divorce. Mrs. Cody en-
phatically denied that she had ever
attempted to poison her husband.
She was asked:
Ibid you ever administer dragons
blood for the purpose of making the
colonel love you more and other wo
men less?"
mo, sir. and I don't know what
dragons blood" u.s. Nevrr say any
and never heard of such a thing"
did you ever give the colonel any
thing to make him sick?"
mo, sir"
did you ever poison him?"
mo, sir"
Mrs. Cody denied that she was ever
intoxicated as had been testified by
witnesses for the plaintiff. She never
drank liquor except for medicinal pur-
poses, she said. and never used pro-
fame or obscene language.
do you still love Colonel Cody? ?"
asked the attorney.
Eyes. He is the father of my chill
dren. and love him still"
do you desire a reconciliation at
this timer
Eyes, I do, but ] think that the
colonel ought to retract the poisoning
accusation"
Mrs. Cody recited the incidents OF
the funeral trip from Spokane to Ro-
chester, n. Y, when they buried
their daughter Arta.
Did you at that time or at any
time, threaten to denounce. Colonel
Cody at tire grave Of your daughter
as his being her murderer
mo, sir"
"Did you ever send him a threaten
ing telegram in connection with the
matter?"
II wired him that l thought he had
been the cause of breaking Arta's
heart
A pathetic scene occurred here
when Attorney Wilcox introduced a
letter and asked Mrs. Cody to identify
it. Tears strcamed down her cheeks.
and between her broken sobs she said
it was letter from her daughter
Arta. three days before she died.
Among other things written by Mrs.
Thorpe (Arta) was the statement that
the bringing of the suit for the di-
vorce by her father had broken her

The debate had proceeded lelsurely
until Mr.. Hull, in charge OF the bill,
offered an amendment providing that
retired officers above the grade of
major should not receive the full pay
of their grade when assigned to duty
with the militia of the several states.
Several members declared that the
amendment was directed especially at
Gen. Miles.
But Mr. Hull insisted that he had
no such thought in mind ana argued
that the best results were obtained
from officers of the lower grades
He asserted that not until the law
was passed, allowing increased pay
for officers assigned to the militia did
retired officers of the higher grades
apply for the appointments.
He said it was such increased pay
and not patriotism which prompted
them and he characterized their con-
duct as unseemly.
This statement reused Mr.. Cochran

BACK TO LOWER HOUSE.
All Tariff Revision Must Be Decided
There.


Washington. Members OF congress
We're thrown INTO considerable excite.
ment recently by the rumor that rap,
| idly spread that an official statement
had been issued by the president an
nouncing that he was not disposed to
push the question of tariff revision at
this time, but would be guided by the
wish OF majority of Republican mem
! bers of the house, but he insisted upon
| legislation To regulate railway rates.
and unless congress acted at once
there would be an extra session called
without delay.
The rumOr was not quite accurate,
although substantially correct, and
the program as outlined covers an in.
genious scheme for everyone to re.
tire gracefully from situation that
was proving embarrassing and threat
enlng party peace.
The unexpected strength of the
stand-patters in the house, and the
almost stubborn determination OF
Speaker Cannon to oppose revision,
some of his friends who regard it as
bad politics to try to force through
any measure antagonized by large
number of Republicans.
In addition to this the president, as
well as members of congress, have
received a great many letters during
the last few days, warning them that
the talk of tariff agitation will have
an injurious effect on business

Is quite clear that the house is not in
