Orchard swore that while in San Fran

from Pettibone who used the name of

making this clearer, the defense gave
evidence Of plan to show that this
money was sent under Petitioners
name thinly disguised by persons plot
ting against the leaders of the West
ern Federation of Miners.
Orchard denied that mine owners
or railway men had any part in the
Independence station outrage, denied
that he had a mania for confessing
uncommitted crimes, and denied that
he ID under the influence of McPar-
land. He showed some spirit in answer
ing many of Attorney Richardson's
questions but he firmly held to all
of his first stories and was calm and
certain throughout the long trying ex-
animation. Two more crimes were
brought home to Orchard Monday; he
confessed that he burned cheese fac
tory in Ontario to get $500 insurance
and he confessed that he began his
life Of crime by selling cheese at short
weight. Counsel for the state let
Mondays examination take its course
without single serious objection, and
at the close privately signified their
entire satisfaction. Orchard has been |
on the stand five days and has fully
two more to serve.

SAYS ALL IS WELL
President Castro of Vehezuela Able
to Appear Before Congress At
ter a Long Illness.
FOREIGN RELATIONS GOOD
Says His Country Is Treading Path
of Law and Honor and Religious.
Iy Observing Its En-
gagements.

Caracas, Saturday, June l. via Gu
racoa, June 7.-President Castro,
whose strength is returning gradually,
attended congress and read his mes
sage to that body, referring to the for
eign relations of the republic of Vene-
zuela the president said:
Il am pleased to inform you that
our political relations with friendly
countries are increasingly cordial. The
labors of this government are per
vaded by spirit of harmony and
courtesy. With firm and sure steps
we are treading the path of law and
honor, and we are religiously observ-
ing our engagements with foreign
countries. This governments inter-
course with the diplomatic represen-
tatives here is therefore perfectly cor
dial. N
within a short period the claims Of
Great Britain, Germany and Italy
which were given preference at The
Hague will be fully paid. AS soon as
these are settled the appropriation to
meet them will be employed to pay
the remainder of the claims against
Venezuela Details of this matter will
be found in the year book.
II regret to inform you that diplo-
matte relations with Colombia have
not yet been renewed. The cores
pondence on this subject will prove
that the fault to execute the stipla-
tons of the renewal are not attribut-
able to Venezuela; we are still endea-
voring to realize our conciliatory and
fraternal purposes, and this in spite
of the invasions preceding from Co
lombian territory. The year book sets
forth the causes of the continuance
of the interruption of diplomatic. rela-
tions with France. This does not i'm
ply that Venezuela has ceased her eff
forts tending to the renewal of these
relations. It is not and never was
the fault of Venezuela that the rela-
tons with France were not maintained
upon a proper footing. Our relations
with Great Britain, Germany and It.
ally continue upon the same harmon
ious basis as since their renewal and
the diplomatic representatives Of these
countries in Caracas contribute to
harmony. -.-
Equally cordial and mutually ad-
yantageous are our relations with
Trinidad, this is due to the courtesy
and upright procedure Of the govern
ment of that island and to the strict
observance Of British instructions on
the part Of our consuls.

Their cross-examination Of Harry Or
chard Monday counsel for William D.
Haywood repeatedly threw the sugges.
ton of a great counter conspiracy,
formulated and carried out by the en-
emies Of the Western Federation of
Miners and indicated determination
to construct their main line Of defense
on that field. They carried Orchard
by slow steps and through the minut-
est details from the dynamiing of the
Independence station down to the at
tempt on the life of Fred Bradley and
his family, and in addition to series
of particular attacks on the credlbility
of the witness and the general prob
ability Of his stories, and preparing
the way for their own testimony in
rebutal, they sought to show that Or |
chard has mania for Boosting of the |
commission of crimes nonresident ex-
cept in his own mind and that he is
testifying under the control and sug-
gestion Of Detective Mcfarland
They began Monday by making 1t
clear that as far as Orchard knew of
his own knowledge Haywood, Meyer
Ind Pettibone had nothing to do with
he inspiration, planning and execu-
ion of the Vindicator explosion, and
hat Haywood and Meyer had nothing
o do with the planning of the murder
Il Detective Gregory.
Passing then to the dynamitfng of
he Independence station, he first
rime with which the testimony of 1
orchard directly connects Haywood,
foyer and Pettibone, they endeavored I
show that Orchard In springing c
he mine had purposely sought to I
pare the on coming train and the non
MON men who were expected to en- Z
ain and that the whole plot was en- e
lneered by agents Of the mine owners l
nd railway managers, who wanted a Il
harmless outrage to t
ljure the union miners who were on e
,rike.

Sermon by Rev. DR.. Radcliffe.

The Drama of Rebecca's Well" was
the subject of discourse by Rev. Dr.
Wallace Radcliffe, pastor of the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church, last
evening. DR.. Radcliffe said that the drama
of which he was going to speak was in
striking contrast to the dramas of today
Marriage is destiny" DR.. Radcliffe de-
clared, mot church nor state, but God
un1tes man and woman. All marriages
are made in heaven, even those with the
door OF birthstone about them. The des-
tiny is sometimes discipline, sometimes
development and sometimes punishment"
The minister then directed attention to
the state of Utah and Mormon marriages,
and said. Utah is blasphemy" In dis
cussing the divorce court he took occa-
sion to say that 1t Is the devils saloon.
In conclusion. DR.. Radcliffe said: THE
unconscious acts reveal the character
The thirsty camels disclose Rebecca s
amiability. The glance. the word, the cup
of cold water carry in them the electric
flash from the omniscinet eye.
Rebeccas veil Is the teacher of mod
esty. Modesty is the conservator of love-
Love to be constant must be kept pure
Life without God is a pitiful tragedy;
with God 1t Is a joyous drama"
