ahead from Siberia, the American en-
bsssY tried to arrange the meeting be-
tweau TAFT and the Gar 70. today, but
failed because Nicholas WAS unable to

troop Of cavalry escorted them from the
railroad station. The streets swarmed
with secret service agents aud the most

MRS. BRADLEY ACQUITTED.

After trial which had attracted vide
spread interest since its inception, al
most three weeks ago, the case Of Mrs.

the tragedy and pleading insanity of
the defendant at the time she shot
Brown 10 q hote! on December 8 last,
argued for the defense, and when court
convened after recess District Attorney
Baker, attacking the theory of insanity
and arranging the defendant in scalh.
ing language, made the closing address.
At 10 o'clock last night the wo
came from the jury room that there was
no prospect OF reschiDg verdict that
night. Accordingly, Judge S!sfford
ordered that the jury be locked up until
court met tbs morning at 10 O'Clock.
The jury this morning at 1907 o'clock
returned verdict of not guilty. The
Jury took two ballots only. On the
first, the vote was ii to / ia favor Of
acquittal. The second, taken about
midoigh', was unanimous for scquittsl.
Not the slightest hint came from the
Jury room that verdict had been reach

court arrived. The juryman who voted
against acquital on the 6ist ballot wss
Julius A. Prigg, bOok-keeper, aud the

announced there was moments silence,
then a great cheer went up in the court
room, which the bailiff, had difficulty
in subduing. The women spectators
were particularly enthusiastic, Jumping

FORTY-NINE MINERS PERISH.

1t wss believed last night that forty
nine miners have persisted in the Ma
omi mine, near Bell Vernon, Ohio,
that blew up Sunday night. At 8 o'clock
& score of rescuers were called from the
work. There was 40 longer hope of
rescue, as no one could live in the mine.
The body of Joseph Sepley, a pumper,
is the ouly one that has been recovered.
Eulry number SO, about 900 feet from
the surface, is reported by the last res
cners as literally blocked with frag-
ments of dead bodies. The little village
of Naomi has few bread winners left.
There are only eighteen men 10 the vii
lags. Most OF these we're saved because
they would not work on Sunday. The
others were drunk and we're turned back
by The pit bosses.

OPPOSITION to Mr. John Sharp Will
liaus as minority leader in the House Of
Representatives collapsed before the
democratic caucus met on Saturday,
which was right and proper. A psrt oil
the opposition is personal. Speaker
Cannon has allowed Dir. Williams to
name the democratic members Of COM
mittees, aud some of the democrats, who
douot ike their assignments, wish topun-
ism the man whose opinion OF them wss
less favorable than their own. A part Of
the opposition is due to the fact that Mr..
Williams, says the Philadelphia Record,
is keeping the minority in the House
free from entangling alliances with pres
ideutial candidates, especially those OF &
populist character. The democratic
presidential candidate is TO be selected
by the convention, and not by the dem
ocratic House caucus. Mr.. Williams
has shown himself real party leader
rather than the spokesman Of faction,
and it would have been misfortune to
have lost him.
