ment in His Behalf.
 Albany. March 14.-While senators, assemb1ymen and state officers were being turned away from the door on account of lack of room inside, Albert T. Patrick sat before the robed judges of the court of appeals this afternoon and heard ex-Senator David B. Hill ar que his appeal from the judgment con- victing him of the murder of William M. Rice, the New York millionaire. The unusual event of condemned murderer attending the argument of his own case before the highest state court brought crowds of people to the 1 capitol, but only small proportion of them were successful in getting sight of the prisoner. Patrick's original in tention was to address the court, but upon the advice of his counsel he re- n,ained silent, contenting himself with listening to the argument and making notes which he used afterward in ad- vising with MT. Hill regarding the re buttal, which will probably occur to morrow.
 Patrick's case was not reached until late in the afternoon. He was defend- ed by ex-Senator Hill and Samuel Bell Thomas, of New York. Assistant Dis trict Attorney Howard Cans was assist ed in the prosecution by former Su- preme Court Justice Judson s. Landon MT. Hill argued that the judgment of conviction should be reversed and a new trial granted first upon the ground that no murder had been com nitted, and that Rice had died, as the attending physician testified. from old age and a weak heart as a remote cause, with indigestion and diarrhoea, with mental worry, as the immediate cause He declared that the congested lcondition of the lungs might easily have been caused by the einbalming fluid, and not by chloroform, as the prosecu- tion alleged He pointed out that the conviction of Patrick rested solely upon l the evidence of Valet Jones, confess l ed murderer, whose testimony, for that
 reason alone, should have been disre-
 garded In this connection he attacked l the district attorneys office for letting
 Jones go free without punishment of any kind, and alleged that Jones pres ent immunity from punishment was due to a bargain between him and tie l prosecuting attorneys.
 l MT. Hill declared that life evidence lregarding the. condition of Rice's lungs
 before the body was enlbalmed rested solely upon the testimony of two coro- ner's physicians, who were not the dis
 interested public officials they were
 represented to be by the district attor-
 ney. As proof of this he said that it
 had been discovered since the trial that
 these witnesses had been privately re-
 tained by the prosecution and paid sew
 eral thousand dollars for their services
 in making experiments in the effect of
 chloroform upon the human lungs.
 The prosecution will be heard to-mor-
 row and it is expected that the case Twill occupy the attention of the court
 for at least two days

 Float Another Russian Loan.
 By delay in pressing his pursuit or Russia,s defeated and demoralized army to Tie Pass, Field Marshal oyama has afforded General Kuropatkin time to sort out the disorganized units or ms command and restore his forces to at laast q semblance of order. So far as known. there is no considerable force of .Iapanese nearer Tie pass than six or aie4ht miles: but in Russian quar-. ters there is a feeling of apprehension that some turning movement, of Whicn there is no definite information is in progress. From Japanese sources It IS reported that many struggling parties of Russians, cut off from their com nlands in the retreat from MuKdeh' are surrendering upon the appearance of Japanese troops. The councl oL war summoned by Emperor Nicholas is reported to have decided yesterday that the war must be carried forward. The all-innportant question of financial means, however, is said to have reach ed no solution, the situation being com plicated by the reported decision ot French capitalists not to negotiate the loan recently offered by St. Petersburg The probability as regarded in St. Pet ersburg seems to be that when General Kuropatkin has completed the task of reorganizing what is left of his army he will be permitted to return to Rus sia and that the command in Manchu- ria will be entrusted to General Suk- llomlimoff, whose war apprenticeship was served under General Dragomiroff, who has been regarded as the foremost of Russia's scientific soldiers. It is pos sible, however, that the command will go to Grand Duke Nicholas NichoIaie- witch.

FLOATING DEBT DISCUSSED.

Board of Finance Wrestles With Adolf
ton Problem Some More
No business of Importance was trans
acted at the weekly meeting of the
board of finance which was held last
evening. After the routine business of
signing bills had been completed the
board entered upon a lengthy discus
sion of the plans for abolishing the
city's floating Indebtedness. The board
seemed to feel that some action in the
near future along this line is demanded.
Controller Rowe advocated that some
start be made. The plan or setting
aside $4,000 year as a sinking fund
was favored by the controller. Under
this plan it is estimated that the float
ing debt can be wiped out In about
twenty years. The controller favors
this measure on the ground that 1t will
accomplish the result desired by all
without requiring an increase In the tax
rate and without disturbing the tax
business.
The so-called Lewis plan was also
discussed. The members seemed agreed
upon the necessity of some action, and
It was decided that the matter should
be discussed by the board at next
Thursday evenings meeting, after the
completion of routine business, with a
view to evolving some plan which the
board Of finance can definitely advo-
cate.
