SENTENCESMRS
COURT GIVES TEN YEARS.
AppeaI VIII Be Filed at Once-Ne5o
Trial Not ALIo7ged.

Cleveland, March 27.-Unless the higher court
interferes Mrs Cassie L. Chadwick, will spend
the greater part OF the next ten years In the
Ohio State Penitentiary. A sentence of ten years
imposed on her by Judge Robert w. Tay-
Ter in the United States District Court at 8
o'clock this evening The sentence came at the
close of busy day for the court in hearing ar
guments on motion for a new trial. which
lasted all day. The motion was overruled.
Mrs Chadwick was convicted seven counts
and sentenced on six counts For four OF these
counts sentence of two years each was i'm
posed. Upon two counts a sentence of one year
each imposed, making total sentence of
ten years.
AS soon as the sentence was pronounced ]. p
Dawley OF counsel for Mrs. Chadwick took ex-
ceptions to the sentences upon each count ex-
cept the first count The defence intends to
make the assertion that the court cannot impose
separate sentence for each count; that the
law applies to the general charge instead Of each
incident OF a general charge. The various counts
Of the Indictment are considered by the defence
to refer only to details of the general offence
This point will be contested in the higher court
as will the other points of the Chadwick trial.
Either Judge Francis ]. Wing or Mr.. Dawley
will so to Cincinnati tomorrow to make ar
rangements for review of the case by the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals. The
first step taken by the defence will. be to ask
for stay of sentence until the appeal is tried
out.
No action will be taken by United States At
torney Sullivan regarding the other six indict-
rnents against Mrs. Chadwick in the federal
court, until the present case is finally disposed
Of If the present case and sentence are sus-
tanned by the last court the other cases may be
dropped, otherwise they will be used against
the woman
Mrs Chadwick not particularly affected
by the action Of the court to-day, seemingly
she had resigned herself to any action that
might be taken. When she was told that the
motion for trial had been refused she
merely nodded her head, as if she already knew,
though she is so hard of hearing she could not
have known what words the court uttered.

paper reports that Sergius Witte

tiations will not last more than
three weeks, it being taken for grant.
ed that the Japanese demands will
not prove acceptable.
The longer the Gar postpones the
making of peace, whatever the terms
that shall be demanded by the Jap
anese. the worse for him ard his
armies. With the Russian navv
driven from the seas and the Rus
sian armies defeated in every i'm
portant and serious engagement of
the war, and Russian internal
troubles increasing every day, the
japanese certainly have nothing to
fear if, in the opinion of the Rus
sian plenipotentiaries, continuance
of the s,ar shall be preferred TO the
making of peace on such terms as
the japanese shall propose. We do
not know, of course. with what III
structions Witte shall come to the
peace conference, but for the Ike of
humanity, it is hoped taat the Gar
wisl not insist upon resumption OF
hostiiities. The japanese are very
suspieiou. Of their enemy, and it is
not 10 be seriously believed that they
will permit the Russians to obtain
the better of them in the negotia-
tious 1t Portsmouth, Or that they
will sAGd;fy their demands on ac-

The evidence, the increasing evi-

certain negro newspapers. And it is
quite natural they should be divert
ed. They have for so long been
hearing of the thriving carpetbag-

this realization that the superior
whites are developing into first class
grafters comes as sweet revenge.
Naturally, they gloat. And what
are We going to do about it: Re-

are lost, wipe out the chief of the
corruptlng influences, the dispensa-
ry, and then try to get back to old
