 Senator Lodge remained for about forty minutes in the jury room On departing he said he could not disclose the nature of the questions asked him. He could say, however, that the subject seemed to him ito be quite unimportant," and one upon which he could give no information. He said 1t was his understanding that the district attorneys purpose was to secure the testimony of members of the repub- lican state committee regarding certain campaign contributions
 When District Attorney Moran learned that Mir. Lodge had expressed his opinion that the matter was unimportant, MT. Moran said with considerable heat:
 If perjury is unimportant, then the subject matter of this investigation Is un- important
 MT Moran said he concluded his exam ination of MT. Lodge.

 Execution of the sentence was delayed by the court pending the signing of bill of exceptions It Is understood that the case will be carried to the supreme court.

 There can be no true union of forces unless at the bottom there be a union of sentiment and conviction; oneness of un. derying desire for union disinterestedncss in the service of God and humanity an honest agreement upon cardinal principle and lovable. sincere toleratlon of unessential differences to bring about this union of heart and mind among the various elements of American Jews must be the unceasing and untiring endeavor of this conference.

no notes passed, he alleged. The Thaws, he said, never quarrelled
 As to the revolver, the valet supple mented his previous statement that Thaw had carried a revolver for three or four months, by stating that Thaw had caf- ried weapon for two years. In con neetion with the European trip of Thaw and Miss Nesbit he said that he had accompanied Thaw and that Thaw and Miss Nesbt had occupied adjoining and connecting rooms.

over the country to address chautauquas and conventions. A great number of these invitations he has accepted, and what sort of speeches he is going to make is a lively topic of discussion. Senators have heard intimations that he proposes to tell his audiences his honest opinions of them, that he Is planning an accurate character sketch of the Senate collectively and in- dividually, as 1t has impressed itself on him in his first session in the upper cham Der. If the senator undertakes such a campaign as this, it will likely have a wide effect. He Is going to New Jersey in few days to spend a fortnight talking for the Colby faction of republicans, who are making promising fight to wrest the senatorship from Dryden. He will talk straight from the shoulder, it is said as he usually does. and will mince no words and avoid no personalities Sen atorial courtesy is likely to receive a severe shock when the live wire from Wis consin connects the people of Jersey with a line of accurate. first-hand information about how the Senate does business.

DATES ARE MIXED.
According to Records the House Ad-
 burned One Day Before Senate.

Washington, July 2.-Discrepancies in the official dates of the adjournment of the two houses of Congress caused some discussion at the capital today as to whether this will affect legislation passed on the closing day The journal of the House shows that that body adjourned on the 29th. while the Senate journal shows that the upper branch adjourned on the 30th of June.
 This arose from the fact that when the House convened on the 30th 1t was still proceeding under the legislative day of the 18th as result of having taken recess on the night of the 29th. MT. Courts clerk of the House committee on appropriations, said that a similar case arose some years ago, and that the comp troller of the treasury decided that the seeming difference in the dates of ad- journment was a legislative fiction, and rot a fact.

BRITISH INQUEST SEEMS
 SLOW TO THE AMERICANS

Salisbury. Eng, July 2.-The embalmers are busy tonight and by tomorrow the majority of the bodies of the score of Americans who lost their lives in the wreck of the Plymouth express Sunday morning will be prepared for their re- turn for burial In the land they left so recently in the fullness of life and hope.
 Frederick II. Cossitt's body already has been forwarded to London on Its way to America.
 The inquest today was a prolonged and tedious formality which utterly fails to give any idea of the cause of the acci- dent. No questions on that point were asked, and the subject seemed to be avoided-a strange proceeding to the Americans present, but which is thought to be due to the queer Journalism that seems characteristic of such cases in this country.
 The proceedings were solemn, sad and monotonous, so much so that spectators
 surprised a juror by asking what necessit

there was to adjourn the inquest for a fortnight No answer was given.
 The delay Is believed to be due to the declared intention of the Board of Trade to institute an investigation.
 It seems stranger to Americans that though the population of Salisbury Is shocked by the disaster, practically no emotion Is displayed. Il would seem as If such accidents were an every day oc- currence, and yet nothing even remotely approaching 1t has heretofore disturbed the peace of the city.
 There is genuine sorrow no doubt but beyond the formal expression it nas not been translated into action.
 One of the most interesting cases at the nfirmary Is that of Robert S. Critchel of Chicago. He is constantly watched over by his cousin J. T. Critchell of Lon don. MT. Critchell has been practically unconscious since the accident with occa- sional evidence of semi-consciousness in which he expressed chivalrous desire to help some one whom he thinks in danger. The doctors have not yet abandoned hope of his recovery
