sestion Of a great counter conspiracy,
formulated and carried out by the enc.

testimony In rebuttaL the defense
sought TO show that Orchard has a
mania Tor Boosting OF the commission
Of crimes, none.existent except in his
own mind, aud that he is testifying
under the control and suggestions Of
Detective Mcfarland.
The defense began by making II
clear that as far as Orchard knew,

nothing to do with the inspiration,
planning and execution Of the Nindi-

was calm and certain throughout the
long trying examination.
Two more crimes were brought

Getting down to the Bradley crime,
the defense devoted Itself largely to

Political Persecution Of Railroads

1t is more strictly true of railroad re-
gulation than of any other from legis-
lation that, generally speaking, every
act of legislation stimulates its author
to additional activity and inspires his
rival and imitators with the highest
competitive zeal. Competition is said to
be the life of trade, but competition
among the politicians is proving almost
the death of the railway trade. Ny
experience is that railroad officials have
suiven more faithfully than any other
c. ass in the community to comply with
both the spirit and the letter of the laws
regulating them. Considering the vast
MAGNITUDE OF the railroad business, and
he bewildering multitude Of railroad
transactions, believe that the railroad
companies constitute an exceptionally
law-abiding class. Railroad companies
generally speaking, are earning less
than a fair return on the value of their
property, and any futher reduction in
revenue or increase in expenditures
through governmental actions is a great
injustic to those who have invested in
rail toad stocks and bonds. Their is now
a condition of undigested railroad laws.
Before passing more such laws the Fed
eral government and the States ought
to take time to understand, and after
ascertainment of facts, enforced the
laws they have.-Vice President Hines
Of the Santa Fee

HIS HEART BROKEN
Good King Oscar Never Recovered
From Blow Caused by Split
In His Kingdom.
A NOTABLE FIGURE HAS GONE
Death Of sweden's Aged Ruler Re-
moves From Lies Stage One Of the
Worlds Most Conspicuous sover-
elqns and a Monarch Well Loved.

Stockholm, Dec. 9.-Oscar H., King
Of Sweden, died at 9:10 o'clock Sun
day morning, aged seventy-eight years,
nine months and seventeen days. The
death of the monarch occurred in the
royal apartment of the palace, where,
surrounded by the members of his
family, including the queen. Sophia,
and the crown prince, Oscar Gustave,
and high ministers of state, the newt
able end had been awaited, while out
side the palace great crowds stood
with bowed heads and fearful eyes
long after the announcement came Of
the death of their beloved sovereign.
The succession to the throne OF
Sweden now passes to Oscar Gustave
Adolphe, Prince of Vermland, the old
est son Of the late king. At a meeting
OF the council of state Sunday after
noon. the new king took the oath of
allegiance under the title of Gustave
", and adopted the motto with the
People for the Fatherland." The
princes then took the oath of allegi-
ance and the new monarch accepted
the homage of the state officials.
Under King Oscar Sweden's stabil-
ity and progress have been uniform
until the events eliminating in the re-
cent separation Of Sweden and Nor
way. The final success of the separa-
ton was a grievous blow to the aged
king. Both his pride and heart were
wounded and his constant brooding
over this unhappy event doubtless con-
tributed to his death. Indeed, the doc
tors final diagnosis that his heart was
affected, appears to give color to the
earlier reports that he was slowly dy-
ing of a broken heart. Politically.
however, neither Sweden nor Norway
is likely to be disturbed by King Os-
cars demise, since each has now ad-
justed itself to the new order of af-
fairs and the change of monarchs may
ameliorate the relations between Swe.
den and Norway, as the new kings
son, who now becomes crown prince.
is united by marriage to the queen of
Norway The new King Gustave much
resembles his father in gigantic stat
ure and in light Saxon blonde features.
The young monarch is not unused to
the cares Of state, as he has frequent
~ acted as regent during the illness
and absence Of his father and has dis
played good sense and ability. He is
personally much liked at Stockholm
and at other capitals. where he is re-
garded as having his fathers charac-
teristics Of sincerity and sympathy.
