Patrick is entity.

Albany, N. Y-The court of appeals
by divided count, voting four to
three, sustained the lower courts in
adjudging Albert T. Patrick, the New
York lawyer, guilty of murder in the
first degree in causing the death Of
William Marsh Rice, an aged million
aire, formerly resident Of Texas.
On April 7, 1902, Patrick was con-
victed on an Indictment charging him
with the murder Of Rice by chloro-
form and mercury administered to
him during his sickness en- September
%, 1900.
Patrick has succeeded in postpon-
ing the ultimate decision of his fate
for over three years by display Of
acumen and resourcefulness that has
excited the wonder of the members
of the bar and the public at large.
The opinion of the court, written by
Judge Gray, is very exhaustive, re-
viewing the formidable record in ev-
cry detail and containing upwards Of
$4,000 words. Judge Gray sets forth
that the theory Of the people was that
defendant had conspired with Chas.
+. Jones, the valet, or as sometimes
called the secretary, Of Rice, to kill
Rice and that the defendant procured
Jones to administer chloroform to
him while he was asleep in the ac-
complishment Of their joint purpose.
This purpose they say was motived by
the desire to obtain possession of
Rice's estate through will in favor
Of the defendant and through various
transfers to him of properties, all pur-
f, porting to have been executed by
Rice, but whcih had in fact been
forged by the defendant with Jones
aid The defense is based on a denial
that Rice's death was effected by vio-
lent means or that it was by the pro.
curement of the defendant and the
proposition is advanced that the forg.
cries were not brought home to the
defendant or if the evidence war,
ranted the finding that they were
that that fact did not necessarily fas.
ten upon him criminal agency in the
murder

Peace is Assured.

Toxic, Japan,-Peace is now an
almost assured certainty. Both Rus
STA and Japan have accepted the ten
der Of good offices on the part Of Pres
ident Roosevelt and the time for a
meeting OF peace plenipotentiaries is
not far distant. TIL cablegram from
Ambassador Meyer expressing Roose-
velt's offer has been translated and
is cordial in character. At Toxic
there IS general thanksgiving at the
thought that the carnage Of war has
passed. The news of prospective
peace with an indemnity attached is
not relished in all Russian quarters.
By some it is feared that the payment
OF any heavy sum by Russia will oe-
casion an outburst on the part of the
Revolutionists.

TO REGULATE RATES.
Railroad and Financial Men Look fol
Legislation at Next Session.

New York-Railrorad and financial
men in New York have settled down
to the expectation that there will be
some sort of legislation regulating
rates and prohibiting rebates at the
next session Of congress; but they
do not think it will be so severe or
radical as the Esch- Townsend bill.
They do not believe congress will go
so Tar as the president demands, but
are convinced that the principle will
be recognized and the authority of
the government to control transporta-
ton rates established, which is the
next step to government ownership.
The recent election in Chicago seems
to be interpreted as an expression of
public sentiment, which will encour-
age all grades Of Socialism, although
it will not accomplish anything more
than making government ownership
and control political issue for the
next congressional and presidential
campaigns.

Japan's Peace Terms.

st. Petesburg-It is understood
that Japan's peace terms will include
a japanese protectorate over Korea
and the total evacuation Of Manchuria
by the Russians. Port Arthur and
the Liaotung peninsula are to re-
main in possession Of the Japanese.
The railway to Hardin is to be coded
to Japan, which will probably REIN
burse Japan for the capital she has
expended thereon. The question as
to the cessation Of the island Of SAX
hahn to Japan would not have been
raised before the defeat Of Admiral
Rojestvensky's Baltic fleet, but will
now be included in the negotiations.
The question of an indemnity will
probably be the last to be considered.

Section of Subway Flooded.

New York.-It is admitted by the

favorable officials That under the most
favorable conditions the road which
is blocked by the bursting of water
main at And street, could hardly be

over mile in which the tracks were

the fumes Of charred insulation and

rally reduced the depth of the water,
but not sufficiently to determined the
full extent of the damage to the road

this conservatism is shown in the case
of an English firm which by some mis-
take stenciled the boxes of their first
order inside and out. The goods
caught on, but when the second lot
arrived with the stencil on the outside
alone, the dealers would not look at
them on account of the difference in
the marking. Ever since that time the
English firm has continued to mark its
goods like the original lot. An Amer
lean firm would undoubtedly laugh at
this eccentricity and refuse to humor
it. although it costs nothing and the
sale of the article depends upon it.
The invariable American reply to any
unusual conditions, whether reason
able or not, has been, IF you can't
sell what we make we don't care for
your trade But the time is coming
when our manufacturers will cease to
be SO independent. They are Begin
