STRONG POINT FOR
THE PROSECUTION
MRS. cHADWlcK's $4,000 DRAFTS
WERE ISSUED ON A DAY
WHEN SHE HAD NOT A DOL
LAR IN THE BANK.

Cleveland Ohio. March Side case
of the government against Mrs. Chad.
wick was completed this afternoon.
One witness for the defense, an ex.
pert accountant, was sworn. but ad.
journment was taken until tomorrow
morning before he had given any tes-
timony.
The most important point made BY
the state In It's entire case was gained
today when District Attorney SullI-
van. after a hard fight with the attor.
ney for the defense secured the admls-
sion ep--epislenca OF two drafts aggre-
eating $4,000 issued by the Oberlin
bank in favor Of Mrs. Chadwick Au.
gust "a, 1903. On this same date. Mrs.
Chadwick obtained from the bank
certified check for $12.500. and Re-
ceiyer Lyon testified there was moth
ing on banks books to show that at
the time of receiving the drafts and
checks, Mrs Chadwick had cent in
the bank OF was In any way entitled
to credit.
Ii is believed that only part of the
next session of court will be required
for witnesses for the defense, and
that attorneys will commence argu.
ments tomorrow afternoon.

TALK OF PEACE REVIVED.

3 ST. Petersburg. March S.-News OF
the retreat to Tie Pass is bound TO
revive talk Of peace, though if Oyama
has failed to crush Kuropatkin peace
is no more imperative new than il
was, last month PeIce advocates
point out as a significant fact Ine de-
parture Of Rojestvensky's squadron
from Madagascar for JibutiI stimuli
taneously with the loss Of the battle
of Mukden, and intimate that perhaps
the recall of the feet may have been
adopted in view of the latter event.
The movement, on the other hand,
may be In pursuance Of a plan for
junction between Rojestvensky and
the reinforcing squadron, preparatory
to giving battle to Togo's fleet. The.
peace movement admittedly has a
strong feeling even in the ministry;
but It cannot be stated now whether
the defeat at MulSden mas been eff
rectIve enough TO turn the scale No
decision can be taken, at least, until
the extent " the reverse is known.

sected today by the senate committee
on ferign relations so far as phrase
olcgy IL concerned aud without regard
20 the principles involved in the pro-
cedure- proposed by the Dominican
convention. The committee progress
ed so far that Ii was agreed 10 take a
vote on the treaty tomorrow to deter
mine whether the report be in favor
of ratification or rejection.
What that report will be cannot
be determined positively. although IL
is believed II viii be favorable. The
Democrats ON the committee have ex.
pressed themselves as against treaty
fundamentally. although they took an
active part in the presentation and
adoption OF amendments. II Is expect
ed that most Of the Republican sena-
tors will vote TO report the treaty as
amended. All amendments adopted by
the committee are with the general
aim Of making the question covered
stand alone and OF removing all
chance Of II being used as precedent
for like procedure In other countries
under guise Of being required by the
Monroe doctrine. For instance, one
