Counsel For Sic4lian Girl on Trial
 For Murder stnrtles Court.
 NEW YORK, May 19.-The defense of Josephine Terranova, charged with the murder of her aunt. Concetta Reg gio. and her uncle, lGaetano, began be- fore Justice Scott in the criminal branch of the supreme court.
 Ex-Judge Palmieri in his opening ad- dress as counsel for the girl said that the defendant was not going to ask for sympathy, but simple justice.
 T will let the girl tell her own story of her uncle's dastardly crime,' he said. .'She has told it to the doctors. She will tell it to you.
 Tt was not Josie who struck down her uncle and aunt, but the hand of God Almighty.
 "I will show that she was in a con dition from abuses bordering on insan- ity and that she was really insane ct the time she committed the crime.
 ..The seed of insanity was sown by her aunt and uncle when she was a child, and they reaped the fruits. They dealt with higher law than man. They were stricken by the hand of God" as eEs
 Mrs. Teresa Polarro, mother of .tJo- sephine Terranova, testified that she and her children were afflicted with epilepsy and that Josephine's father and grandfather were drunkards.

ater, but the music loving public. while paying marked attention to this part of the program, will foIsts it's attention on the great concert which is to. be given on the evening of the first day in PoIi's theater. Here will be a concert to conjure by. The full program will rot be an- nounced for the present, but one of the participants is worthy of r1en- ton at this time. and that one iss Shanna Cumming, whose picture Is here printed.
 Of Shanna Cumming the gifted Laura Dainty-Pelham writes as fol- lows:
 An artist by birth and training. Shanna Cumming stands to-day at the head of American singers. In the, field of oratorio she has no serious rival and she seems to possess in gen. ernNs measure all the attributes that nrrke for success on the concert stage. Eha ii1 distinctly American, Her prettyrgiven name, "Shanna," (wid rose}T is an inheritance from her grandmother. who as the wife of, a sturdy young missionary among, the Indians, was pioneer of Illinois, and the strength, purity and charm of her singing seems typical of tho broad prairies, where three genera tions of Cummings have been born and bred. Her work ill festival and oratorio has made her known and ad- mired by musicians everywhere, and her beautiful voice and winning per- sonality have endeared her to thou- sands"
 She was born in Farmer City, Ill, She began her. musical studies as "a soloist on the piano, and made her first public appearance when 10 years old. At 16 she began to culti- vate her voice at the Conservatory of Music at Jacksonville, III. At that time her voice was not thought to be of exceptional quality, but she worked persistently. She continued her studies in San Francisco and Chicago under the best private teach CTS.
 Her first church position was in Buffalo. Her next move was to Pitts burg, where she entered the concert field. She returnsd to church work. taking a position fin the West Pres byterian church, New York. Then she went to the First Dutch Re- formed church in that city.
 During her engageT,ent at the Gen. tral Congregational church, whose pastor is Rev Dr Parkes Cadman, she is paid the largest salary given to q church soprano in this country. Her voice is pure and clear, and she has been well received in the concert field from Maine to California.
 In the past four years Mrs Cum ming has had the distinction to fn- troduce to the American public at their initial performance all the new Elgar works, also the Colridge Tay- Tor works.

 - Report.
 NEW YORK, May 19.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Higher temperature accelerates the movement of seasonable merchandise and improves agricultural conditions except where the pfecipitatlon has been insufficient. The season was somewhat backward on the farms un- til this week, but lost ground is being regained, although the scarcity of la bor delays operations.
 Manufacturing returns indicste few strikes and little idle machinery. some sections of the iron and steel industry having secured contracts covering out put more than year ahead. and ship ments of footwear from Boston are surpassing all records. while the tex tile mills operate freely notwithstand- ing the high prices for raw materials.
 Commercial failures for the week were 211 against 200 Inst week. PIP the preceding week and 234 the core spending week last year. 1@

RATE BILL PASSES
Much Disputed Measure Goes
 Through, n to 3.
HAYS-FORAKER, MORGAN, PE11US
Senate Deliberated over It Almost Continually For Seventy Days. Many Senators Made All
 Day Speeches.

'
 WASHINGTON, May 1s.-The sen ate has passed the railroad rate bill. Only three senators, Foraker, Morgan and Pettus, voted against the bill The yeas were 71. It was announced for every absent senator that he would vote for the bill.
 After seventy days of almost contln- uous deliberation the senate passed the bill which has received more attention from the senate and from the country at large than any measure that has been before congress since the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man act in 1893.
 It was reported to the senate on Feb. 26 and was made the unfinished busi- ness on March 12. From March F to May I the bill was under general dis cussion without limitation on the dura- tion of speeches, fifty-eight of which were delivered Senator La Toilette, the junior senator from Wisconsin, spoke for three days and Senator Dan- iel of Virginia for two days. Senators Bailey, Foraker, Lodge. Rayner, Dolli- yer and others each spoke for one en- tire day.
 The railway rate bill, which was completed by the senate, when placed on the statute books will have more far reaching effect than any law of re- cent years. It will vitalize the powers of the interstate commerce commission

and afford relief for every discrimina- ton, injustice and extortion practiced by a common carrier.
 The most important provision of the act confers on the interstate commerce commission the authority to determine what is a just and reasonable maxi mum rate or charge, regulation or practice.
 When the session opened the senate resumed consideration of the Teller amendment, striking out of the provi- sion giving to the interstate commerce commission the power to prescribe fafes the words "in It's judgment" 7e
 The amendment was adopted 30 to 24.
 Senator Carter proposed an amend. ment in the interest of small roads to the provision prescribing penalty for false entries In the accounts of rail roads. He proposed to strike out the provision requiring railroads to keep only such books as prescribed by the commission. Senator Tillman opposed the amendment as fatal to the prohibi- tion against rebates. The amendment was defeated.
 f The rate bill was soon completed and was ready to pass when Mir. Rayner took the floor.
 Mfr. Rayner said that he expected the president would change his opinion ngain before the bill was finally en- acted and get back to the Long amend ment.
 The president, said Mir. Rayner. may have united his party in the senate. but had divided the people. He claimed the Allison court Sfeview amendment destroyed the bill and deplored the presidents interference.
