ELIZABETH CITY, N c., March 10
In the trial Of Joshua Harrison on the
charge of kidnapping and numbering Ken
meth Beaseley, the nine-year-old son or
State Senator S. H. Beaseley of Currituck
county, the alibi sought to be established
by the defendant was attacked by the pros
ecution.
E. W. Ansell, whom the prosecution re-
served the right to put on the witness
stand testified that on the day the boy dis
appeared he saw a mule and buggy, and
that the man in the buggy was Harrison,
who was trying to pacify crying boy.

that he was on the police force at the time
of the kidnapping; that he met Harrison
on Cumberland street at o'clock Tues
day morning, the day following the d1sap,
pearance of the boy, and that he stopped
and talked with Harrison for at least
twenty-five minutes Harrison told him he
was in Norfolk to bring his child to
school, and that his (Harrison's) wife had
been dead two years.
Cross-examinatiop by former Governor
Aycock did not succeed in shaking Bur-
foot's testimony.

DOMINICAN AGITATION.
Great Interest Taken in Treaty With
United States.

SAN JUAN, P. R., March 19.-Informa-
ton received in this city from Santo Do
mingo is to the effect that great agitation
reigns in that republic, due to the approval
of the treaty with the United States by the
American Congress. The Santo Domingo
congress is now about to consider the
treaty, and 1t is asserted on the best au-
thority that 1t will not be approved by that
body. The supporters of the treaty are
President Ramon Caceres. the minister or
finance, Federico Veasquez Hernandez;
the minister Of foreign affairs. Emiliano
Teiera: the minister of war, Carlos Cine
bra and practically the entire cabinet.
Those opposed the the treaty are Vice Pres
ident Horacio Vasquez, eX-Minister Ami
ANA, large majority of the deputies. the
entire province OF the Cibao and at least
ee-fourths of the inhabitants.
1t is asserted that great as the sway OF
President Caceres Is over the deputies, the
members will not dare to approve the treaty
in the face of the mmenacing attitude
of the people. The entire country is pre-
pairing for great struggle and already
there have been demonstrations In the city
of Santo Domingo against the approval or
the treaty. Some of the agitators have
been imprisoned, and 1t is asserted that
the attitude Of the people of the city was
so menacing that President Caceres who
was in Santiago. had to be hastily sum-
moned to the seat of government.
Gen. Luis Tejera, the son of the minister
of foreign affairs. Is said to be one of the
most strenuous opponents Of the treaty.
and he is suspected of being the instigator
OF the movement in the city.
1t is believed that any attempt on the part
of President Caceres to force the passage
Of the treaty In the Dominican congress
Will result In rebellion. The people are
keeping a close watch upon the action OF
the deputies. and threats are openly made
that 1t Is as much as their lives are worth
to approve the treaty

HARTMAN MAKES DISCLAIMER.
Says Combination of Men and Cir
cumstances Caused Stock Slump.

cumstances Caused Stock Slump.
NEW YORK, March he H. Hartman,
president of the Union Pacific system, re-
turned to this city yesterday from Virginia.
When seen at his Office today he said. in
reply to the question whether business Of
an urgent nature had called him back:
mo; 1 returned here because the muddy
roads down in Virginia made enjoyment
impossible. What do think of the finan-
cal situation? l believe it is going to i'm
prove from now on.
THE decline in the stock market was
due to a combination Of circumstances
a combination Of men and circumstances.
Some of those men have made a lot of
money as result, but don't think it will
do them much good in the end"
Mr. Hartman laughed at the report that
during the recent liquidation of stocks the
Union Pacific had disposed of large guam
titles of its stockholdings in other railway
properties. He said there was no founda-
ton whatever for the story. His attention
was then called to dispatch from the
10y of Mexico to the effect that negotia-
tions were said to be under way between
Epes Randolph, the Southern Pacific's rep
resentative in Mexico and the southwest,
and Col. w. c. Greene for the purchase
of the Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Pa
cific railway.
Mr.. Hartman would not deny that such
negotiations were under way, but content
ed himself with saying that Mr.. Randolph
was very busy man.
The Rio Grande, Sierra Madre and Pa
cifc railway runs from Ell Paso, Tex, to
Terrazas, Mexico, a distance Of 1856 miles.
At Ell Paso it makes connection with the
Southern Pacific railway, and would prove
a serviceable connecting link with the line
the Southern Pacific is constructing along
the west coast of Mexico, where that sys-
tenn has an extensive development program
under way.
The hio Grande owns the Ell Paso South
ern railway which has terminals at Ell
Paso and bridge over the Rio Grande at
that city. All the company's stocks and
bonds were sold in December, 1904, to in
terests identified with the Greene Console
dated Copper Company and a new man
agement was installed. Col Greene, who
is president of the road, is now in Mex
leo, and during his absence none of the
other directors of the property were able to
give any information regarding the deal.
The road has issued $3120,OOO in stock
and So 100000 in first mortgage per cent
bonds, which are authorized at the rate
of 600 a mile. An extension of l3O
miles from Terrazas to Deidrich was un-
der construction, but work on this project
was suspended in June, 1905.

cion to fall on any other employe. He
