Ii a newspaper interview, while he was

Teller declared emphatically that federal
control of all the railroads would be a
good thing for them, as we'll as for the

The Council Of Ministers at Cairo,
Egypt have adopted the proposition to
Increase the height of the Assuan dam
sufficiently to raise the water stored in
that reservoir by nearly 20 feet above
the present maximum.

There was no doubt the Sprouts poison
ing case was the sensation of the day in
Melbourne. The papers were full of it,
and some even went so far as to give q
plan of the house, with dotted lines there
on, to show how the crime was commit
ted.
Rumors were started that the govern
ment analyst and DIR. Gollipeck had found
poison IN the stomach, and that, moreover,
the real criminal would be soon discov-
cred. Public opinion was much divided
as to who the criminal was-some, hav-
ing heard the story of Madame's marriage,
said it was her husband; others insisted
Kitty Marchurst was the culprit, and was
trying to shield herself behind this wild
story of the hand coming from behind the
curtains; while others We're in favor of
suicide. At all events, on the morning
when the inquest was resumed the court
was crowded, and a deep silence pervaded
the place when the government analyst
stood up to give his evidence. Madame
Midas was present, with Kitty seated be-
side her, the latter looking pale and i'll
and Kilsip, with a gratifed smile on his
face which seemed as though he had got
q clue to the whole mystery, was seated
next to Cation. Vandeloup, faultlessly
dressed, and as cool mad calm as posi-
bic, was also in court and DIR. Gollipeck,
as he awaited his turn to give evidence,
could not help admiring the marvellous
nerve and courage of the young man.
The government analyst deposed that
the stomach of the deceased had been sent
to him to be analysed. He had used the
usual tests, and found the presence of the
alkaloid of hemiock, known under the
name of COMA. In his opinion the death
Of the deceased was caused by the admin.
istration of an extract of hemiock.
There was great excitement when this
evidence was concluded, as it gave quite
a new interest to the case. The question
as to the cause of death was now set at
rest-thc deceased had been murdered
DIR. Gollipeek stood up to give his evi.
6ence.
He dcposed that he was q medical prac-
t~itioner, practicing at Ballarat he had
seen the report of the case in the papers,
and had come down to Melbourne as he
thought he could throw a certain ligh,

sunnorer : Fever Cure.

An eminent Spanish professor has
made the discovery that the sunfiower
yields q splendid febrifuge that can be
used as q substitute for quinine. More
than ten years ago Moncorvo reported
tn the Therapeutical Society Of Paris
with reference to the same subject. Ac-
cordingly the sunfower should not only
BY It's growing exert great fever-dis-
polling effect but also yield a product
which Is used advantageously In all fe-
wera.
The common sunfiower is originally
an American plant. Its original home
j. said BY eminent DotanIsts to be Peru
and Mexico.
The Russian %peasantry seem to be
convinced that the plant possesses prop

Russian physician to experiment with

flower leaves and it is reported that he
had good results with the coloring mat
tier and with alcoholic extracts from
the flower and leaves. With 100 chill

has, IN the majority Of cases, effected
as speedy a cure as otherwise with

JAPS ARE DESTROYS OF
TREATY WITH UNCLE SAM
Japanese Feeling Outside OF San
Francisco.

NEW YORK, May 15.-''Japan has
looked earnestly for an alliance with
the United States because, in sub
stance, we have always regarded
this country as a great ally of Japan
We are DESTROYS of having such an
alliance if it could be arranged. As
long, though, as any misunderstand-
ing like the anti-Japanese feeling
in San Francisco exists, it might not
be possible to bring about an alli-
ance"
Thus spoke Baron Ozawa, member
of the house of peers and special
representative of the emperor, in an
interview tonight. The baron, who
is the vice president of the japanese
Red Cross society, was commanded
by his majesty to ascertain the ex-
istence of anti-Japanese feeling In
this country and 10 express the
thanks of the emperor to those Amer
leans who aided the Japanese during
the severe famine in Northeast Japan
after the war with Russia.
The baron and his party will visit
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft in Washington next week. and
will sail for England on May %,
where they will attend the eighth
international Red Cross conference
in London in June.
Baron Ozawa said that he would
report that he found no evidence of
anti-Japanese feeling existing any
where Il the country outside Of San
F'raneic-c. He added that the Amer
leans with whom he talked had assur-
ed him that the Japanese were re-
garded as honest y and intelligent
people and that his countrymen now
residing in this country with whom
he had talked all told him that they
were being treated in a cordial and
friendly manner by the Americans.
Baron Ozawa said that Japan had
no dreams OF further territorial ex-
pansion in the Pacific. and declared
that It was Unnecessary for her to-
acquire Other posseasions. -

Abraham Ruef made the following
statement when court re-convened.
This trial has become threat
ening danger TO my health both men
tally and physically. | am unable to
bear the strain any longer. The
strain on those nearest and dearest
to me is undermining them. They
are on the verge of collapse. Their
lives hang in the balance and l must
take some action"
Ruef, who was evidently labor:ng
under great emotion. after pausing a
moment, continued:
Il have occupied prominent
place in this city. l hope to remain
here and this will be the place of my
eternal sleep. Heretofore l have
borne an honored name in my pro-
fessional life. There has been no
stain upon my honor and until the
present board of supervisors were
elected there was no act of mine that
could be justly censured. Neverthe-
less, owing to the assaults of the
Drn~S | have been placed in wrong
ltGtt and have been burdened with a
bad name.
1T is true that in order to hold
together the political machine which
had built up with great difficulty
that | did lower the high political
ideals that | had hitherto upheld.
Last night | reached the conclusion
that there might still be an oppor-
tunity to make some effort TO restore
myself in the public favor and be q
power for good. I will do all that
still lies in my power to help over
throw the system which has made
possible the terrible corruption Of
