From the acknowledgements Tribune.
Circuit Attorney Sager. the successor
TO n Joe Folk In the important posi-
ton, is becoming somewhat noted by
his stand in the matter of the attempt
ed shooting of George Morton by Mn |
Sprague. He has announced his int {
ton to allow the man to go free. an /
to send Mrs. Sprague to the penitet
tiary for ten years. He has declare.
that If. in attempted palliation of the
shooting. Mrs. Sprague should be a.
lo:ved to introduce evidence OF wrongs
suffered at the hands of Morton. he will
dismiss the case against her and en-
deavor to secure another Indictment.
Whether the charges Mrs. Sprague
makes against Morton are true in every
detail or false in every particular is not
and disgrace to Morton. She alleges
that he represented her to be his wife.

with her as such and then cast her
off and attempted further to disgrace
her. AS to the charges she makes. Mr..
Sager says: II couldn't make a charge
against him on accusations OF that
character. He has done nothing OF
which the law can take cogn1zahce. II

New York, April 29.-Decision for the plaintiff has been rendered by 1us- tice Vernon M. Davis, of the supreme court, in peculiar suit brought by Congressman William R.. Hearst against his colleague in the house of representatives. Charles A. Towne. Both men represent New York dis tricts.
 The action was brought by MT Hearst to recover $6,OOO and interest loaned the defendant on a promissory note dated Feb 16, 1904. The com. plaint sets forth that payment on the note has been refused The defence put in by Congressman Towne is that MT Hearst lent the money with an un- derstanding that the borrower should write various articles for a publication owned by Mir Hearst in Washington. The defendant declared he was no. asked to write these articles, although he was ready to perform the services as agreed.
 Justice Davis, in awarding judgment against Mir Towne, said t'The allega- tions of the complaint are substantially admitted by the answer, and there are no allegations of new matter that amount to a defence. Under the cir cumstances the plaintiff is entitled to judgment"

NAN PATTERSON IS IN
 A STATE OF COLLAPSE.
On Account of Evidence Given by Her Sister Prison Nurses Attended to Both of Them Lasfs Evening Prisoner Welcomed the Short Respite Until Court Comes in Again on Monday.

New York, April 29.-After a rest less, sleepless night in her cell in the Iombs prison, Nan Patterson to-day still seemed confident that she would be freed from the charge that she mur- dered Caesar Young. Broken in spirit by the terrible ordeal or yesterday when her sister was forced to give most damaging evidence against her on the witness stand, the girl was in a pitiable condition last night, and both she and her sister required the atten- ton of the prison nurses in the cell which they occupy toge;ner in the prison hospital ward. To-day Miss Patterson seemed to be thoroughly eX- hausted and apparently welcomed the respite until Monday when she will be taken to court again to hear the sum- ming up by Assistant District Attorney Rand. With the prosecution closed and the announcement from her own attorneys that no defense will be put in, she realized to-day that the battle for her life was almost over. She had been supremely confident until the closing hours of yesterday and not even the story drawn from her sister, Mrs J. Morgan Smith, wholly removed the belief that the jury would set her free.
 In this she was greatly cheered by the decision of her counsel that no de. fense would be offered That in itself indicated, she believed, that they thought the prosecution had failed in it's efforts to make out a case against her.
 T shall go free" she said to-day. Tn spite of all that has passed I am still confident the jury will find me not guilty on Tuesday,

HAS THIS COUNTRY
 FAVORED AN ALLIANCE.
Russian Papers Say America Has Been Party to One From the Begnning-Cives the United States Credit for Being Correct in Its Attitude During Hostilites Japan, this Country's Most Dangerous Competitor

St Petersburg, April 29. The Novos- Il to-day devotes a leading article to the discussion in the British press as to the advisability of the United States joining the Anglo-Japanese al- lance, especially referring to the state ment made by leading London. daily that the United States has virtually been party to the alliance since the beginning. The Novosti maintains that while sentiment in the United States seems to have favored Japan during the war the attitude of. the American government has been strict ly correct and the people of America are beginning to realize that Japan is Americas most dangerous competitor, pointing out that even if Japan no longer covets the Philippine Islands her commercial competition would make such an alliance impossible. Con- tinuing the Nov0sti says:
 If in England renewal of the al- liance is meeting with opposition the United States assuredly must steer clear of joining combination which would still further strengthen Japan's prestige. The United States probably will be content with the practical ad- vantages reapable from the war which American diplomacy will take care to clfnch but the United States govern ment will hardly care to place the re- public under obligations the advan- tages of which to say the least are doubtful"
