HERMANN ON STAND IN HIS OWN DEFENSE
HE DETAILS CIRCUMSTANCE OF DESTRUCTION OF HIS LETTER BOOKS IN LAND OFFICE, FOR WHICH HE IS TRIED.

Washington, April 4.-Binger Hermann occupied the witness stand in his own behalf during the afternoon session of his trial today, the morning session being interrupted because of the illness of a juror. Mr. Hermann detailed the cir ter books, for which he is being tried. The destruction, he said, toook place a few days before he retired as commits sioner of the general land office and was conducted during office hours, public ly in MT. Herrmann's office in the general land office.
 "When I gave the order I turned either to my stenographer, or MT. Daly, my financial clerk, who was standing by my side, and said: I have no earthly use for these old books, and 1t is only an unnecessarily expense to send them across the continent. They simply contain my personal correspondence.
 "1his was done in the best of faith and my motive was simply that I had no further use for them. 1 had no occasion to refer to them during the six years they had been accommodating. They had answered their purpose and l considered them as belonging to me, as much my property as the coat on my back. did it in the open day with all the clerks about me-

PoBEDoNosT MEMOIRS.
Rank With BIsmarck's-To Be Pub.
 Iished In Ten Years.

St. Petersburg, April 1.-The correspond ence and memoirs of the late M. Pobe- donostseff, ex-procurator general of the holy synod, have been deposited under seal in the Rumaintseff historical museum of Moscow. According to his testa- mentary directions they will be published at the end of ten years. The papers, which are said to rank in importance with the Bismarck and Hohenlohe memoirs, in- cude extensive correspondence with the last three Emperors with whom M. Pobe- donostseff was on most intimate terms, letters from many prominent statesmen Of the old regime and series of letters from the daughter of Poet Tutcheff one of the court ladies, which it is reported will throw intimate light on hitherto ob- scure court intrigues. There is also an- other series of letters from Professor Rachinsky, a former colleague of M. Pobedonostseff at the Moscow university, furnishing a running commentary on the events of the day.

The New French Marriage Law.

"The youth of France" says Paris paper, applaud the French lawmakers because of the bill which was recently passed wiping out venerable clause in the Code Napoleon. The new law provides that "a marriage contract may be entered into between man and a woman, each being 21 years old" without the consent of the par ents of either. "This,' says the French writer, ''is long step toward the equality with woman. The woman, ac- cording to the old law was fully com petent to make a marriage agreement at 21 years of age, but the man, al though of age, in all other respects at that time of his life, was compelled to wait four years if at 21 his parents refused to consent to his marriage. Children love their parents just as much as they ever did," says the writer, but the abrogation of the law shows that the day of blind submissive ness is over and that the word sub ject' applied to the family or the state has bad and musty taste"

Henry James Loving Cup.

From the New York Tribune,
 MT. Henry James working methods are thus described by his publishers:
 "Mr. James dictates! He dictates only the first draft, however, and he does this slowly and his secretary after ward puts the draft into typewritting, with unusually wide spaces between the lines. This typewriter draft is then gone oyer by MT. James with pen and ink with infinite care. Every word is weighed, every thought pondered, and he begins to elaborate, to inter- polate, to add new beauties. Slowly the fabric grows under his loving care, slowly the sentences and phrases take on the final aspect toward which he has been working, and only when it is all to his satisfaction as an artistic literary workman does he permit it to go out to the world"
 Yet there is story of man who besought the author to explain the ex- act meaning of certain passage, "whereupon Mr. James responded, with cool gravity, that if the passage as it stood, which represented his care ful and studied thought, did not ex- plain itself to the mans mind he did not deem it advisable or worth while to enter into any verbal discussion of f.

EVERYTHING READY
 FUR SPANISH HEIR
Royal Decree of Presentation at
 Moment of Birth
IF BOY 21 GUNS 10 BE FIRED

 Occasion.

All customary decrees ordering general amnesty, the release of prisoners condemned for minor offenses and the bestowal of recornpenses and the coronations upon various persons have been prepared.
 The decree directs attention to the re- marlable publicity given in accordance with the etiquette with the Spanish court to the intimate affairs of the royal fam fly.

They must wait in the ante-chamber un til the infant is presented. With the least possible delay the baby is dressed and placed in a basket standing on a golden salver. The King takes the has- ket holding the child in his hands and followed by members of the royal fam fly enters the saloon where the presenta- tion ceremony is held. Raising the veil over the infants face the King says:
 T present to you my beloved son, or daughter, the successor to the throne of Spain, the Prince or Princess of the Asturias, to whom my dear spouse has just given birth"
