Mrs. Edwarde Gains TIme.

Harrisburg, Pa.-On recommenda.
ton of the board of pardons,
Gov. Pennypacker withdrew the death
warrants in the cases of Mrs. Kate Ed
wards, white, and Samuel Greason, the
negro, who were under sentence to
hang together at Reading for the muir
der of Mrs Edwards husband in 1901.
The case of Greason will now be
again taken TO the Pennsylvania su-
preme court, and ii that tribunal re-
fuses TO reopen the case. the attorneys
Tor Mrs, Edwards and Greason will
have to appear before the board OF
pardons next month.
The reason for the boards action
was read by the attomey-general 1t
is as follows:
I'm view of the dissent on the part
of the three justices of the supreme
court in the opinion from the court in
refusing the petition of Samuel Grea'
son for an order authorizing new
trial in the court of oyer and terminer
Of Berks county, and in view of the
statement of counsel for Greason that
they have four witnesses never before
examined whose dispositions they de.
sire to take and present to the su,
preme court for its consideration, the
application for the continuance in the
Edwards case is granted and the ap'
p!ication for the rehearing in the Grea-
son case is granted"
The lawyers for Greason will now
apply to the supreme court for an or
der opening his case in order to hear
the four new witnesses found by his
attorneys. If the supreme court grants
the order the case will go back to
Berks county for retrlal, In the mean
time Mrs. Edwards case will be con
tinued.
After the governor was officially in.
formed of the action of the pardon
board a messenger was sent to the
sheriff of Berks county, withdrawing
the death warrants.

I.ondon.--In the house OF commons
the debate on the address in reply ia
the speech from the throne was re.
sumed by Mr.. Asquith Oiberal, and
former home secretary, who moved
the following amendment:
I'VE humbly represent to your maj
esty that the. various aspects Of the
fiscal question have been fully dis
cussed in the country for nearly two
years and that the time has come
for submitting the question to the peo
pie without further delay"
Mr. Asquith supported this demand
for an immediate dissolution of parlia-
ment with some trenchant remarks on
the wide fiscal gulf separating the
unionist factions.
Austen Chamberlain, the chancellor
of the exchequer, replying, taunted the
liberals with asking the country for a
mandate to stimulate bOunty-fed com
petition with British manufactures and
to maintain a system of free imports
without free exchange.
The government desired free hand
TO negotiate fiscal matters with for
eign countries and the colonies and an
unfettered conference of the latter to
see if a closer union could not be pro-
NOTED between Great Britain and the
other parts of the empire.
Mr.. Asquith's amendment to the re
ply to the speech from the throne was
discussed at the evening session.
The discussion was robbed of inter-
est by the unexpected calling of a sec
ond cabinet meeting, which sat two
hours during the evening.
A second cabinet meeting in one day
is unusual, and created great curiosity
and an exit of members to the lobbies
1t Is believed that the meeting had
no connection with parliamentary af-
fairs.
There is q rumor that it was owing
to the receipt Of important dispatches
from the far east connected with the
possibilities of peace, but nothing re
liable is known on the subject.

Lew Wallace Passes Away.

Charlottesville. nd.--Gen. Lew Wal
lace died at his home in this city
Wednesday night, aged 7S years.
The health of Gen. Wallace had
been waning for several years, and for
months it has been generally known
that his vigorous constitution could
not much longer Withstand the raw
ages of wasting disease.
For more than year he had been
unable to properly assimilate food,
and this, together with his advanced
age, made more difficult his fight
against death. At no time did he
ever confess his belief that the end
was near, and his rugged constitution
and remarkable vitality were respon-
sible for prolonging his life.
Besides his physician, only Mrs.
Wallace, his son, Henry Wallace of
indianapolis, and his sons wife were
present.
When told by his physician he was
dying, Gen. Wallace was perfectly
calm and his last words were ex-
pressions of cheer to his family. Bid
ding them farewell, he said: 81 am
ready to meet my Maker" and laF"
into unconsciousness.

Washington. on.-The bill which Sena-
tor Crane introduced providing for a
leprosarium for the segregation of
lepers anu to prevent the spread Of
leprosy in the United States has passed
in the senate by unanimous consent,
Mr.. Crane has been vigorously urg-
ing this bill since It's Introduction.
The bill was referred to the COM
mittee on public health and national
quarantine, which referred it to Dr.
Walter Wyman, surgeon and marine
hospital service.
In tho report submitted by DR.. Wy
man it is set forth that leprosy is cas-
lily spread by contagion and that it is
practically incurable, and that when
once discovered in an individual death
seems to be the only instrument for
his or her relief.
The report further sets forth the
impracticability of each state caring
for its own lepers owing to the small
number in many of the states. The
report says:
"The bill now before the committee
has been carefully drawn 1t is de-
signed that some abandoned military
or naval reservation or some section
of public land not open to entry should
be transferred by the secretary of war,
or Of the navy, or of the interior to
the treasury department for the pur.
pose named"
"While the bill does not contemplate
the purchase of any land for the es-
tablishment of the leprosarium and
though 1t is confidently believed a gov.
eminent reservation suitable for the
leprosarium can be found, it is known
that on a number of these reservations
some small entries have been made
by settlers, and as invariably they have
selected the most favorable SITES so
far as water and wood are concerned,
1t may be necessary to purchase at a
small figure one or two homestead en-
tries in order that the reservation it.
self may have the proper water ia
cilities. The limit of this expenditure
should be $6000 though in all proba
bility it will not he more than $4,000
1.-THE bill further contemplates the
reception at the leprosarium of any
leper voluntarily presenting himself or
herself and sent to the institution by
proper state or territorial health au-
thorities, and further contemplates,
through the instrumentality of the an
uual conference of state and territorial
health officers with the public health
and marine hospital service, uniform
lty of legislation and practice in all
states and territories to be taken to
prevent the spread of leprosy.
"Tt is contemplated that when the
site shall have been selected and the
Ieprosarium ready, the surgeon gen
eral of the public health and marine
hospital service shall prepare regula-
lions for the treatment and detention
Of all of the inmates of the establish
ment."
