GREAT BRITAIN AND LIBERIA.

3 Several days ago a press cable
ment Of an occurrence of the day
before in that city which has at
tracted very little attention; but
which may be of much significance.
1t was that King Edward had at a
formal audience received" Arthur
Barclay, president of the republic
of Liberia, IAN incident which the
London Times described as pictur-
esque as we'll as OF importance to
the west African state"
1t is said that President Barclays
visit to Europe is for the purpose Of
coming to some understanding with
Great Britain and France, who are
his country's neighbors, in regard
to better defining the boundaries be-
tween the negro republic and the
West African territories Of those
two European powers. Great Brit
aims possessions border on Liberia
on one side and Frances on the 9TH
er.
Liberia vas recognized as an in
dependent republic by those two
governments in 1S47. AS our read
ers know, the original idea was to
found there a negro republic based
on the principles of the American
republic, and it was to be something
in the nature of a home or place Of
refuge for slaves from the southern
states. The American Liberians, who
form the governing class, niW num-
Der about twelve thousand. The
balance of the population consists
of about two million natives who are
content to be ruled by the others
and to work for them-when they
can be induced to work at all.
Until recently Liberia attracted
little public attention. 1t was sup
posed to be a west coast section con-
sisting of almost impenetrable
swamps and jungle which produced
nothing and was incapable of de-
velopment except along the coast
line where Iuo american negroes
live. Recently Sir Henry Johnston,
an Englishman, has interested him
self in the country and has discov-
cred that it has great natural re-
sources. Consequently a company
has been formed in England to de-
velop the country.
There is a great scramble among
European powers for possession of
African territory, and just at this
time it is a significant fact that there
should be negotiations on the ques-
ton of territorial borders between
Liberia and Great Britain. The world
may expect to see this territory
added to the African colonies Of
Great Britain or divided between her
and France. If any thing is to be
made out of the annexation of the
territory the former country may be
counted on to get her share.
Liberals chief exports are palm
oil, palm kernels, coffee and rubber,
and there is a possibility of a re-
munerative production of cotton.
The latter would be a great induce
ment to England to ecu posses
sion of the country, which she will,
no doubt, do in the ear future.

authorities cited by District Attorney Jerome Wednesday in support of tha aoinissibility of such testimony and sad he was amazed to find that one of the decisions mentioned "states exactly the reverse of what inc learned district attorney announced :. Much of what the district attorney salo Wednesday, Mr. Delmas de ciared was objectionable sbut al- ioVed sliln t3 talk of much -hat IS not in the evidence here and that might have been objected to he- cause was willing to trust to the iaif mlndeaness of this jury, which is my only protection
 Mir. Delmas closed his araumant py asking that the court rule ont Tunnels testimony as improper and oaVlns no bearing on the case. AT. ter the arguments were concluded. Justice Fitzgerald said: "Tne case cited are not proper authority on the question under consideration. The objection must be sus,ained.p
 This ruling seemed to bar all of Humme's testimony but MT. Jerome proceeded to question him and soon there was dramatic clash with Mir. Delmas.
 At the interview in your office. ; asked MT. Jerome. "did Evelyn Nes- bit prior to your dictatiug anything. tell you that she had told Thaw that it was not true that Stanford White had drugged and ravished her?a
 Mir Delmas waH on bis feet to object, but before he could 60 so and immediately after the district at torney had ceased to speak, Hum- mel said in loud voice:
 She certainly did'
 MT. Delmas looked at the witness. and with scorn in his voice, said:
 And you call yourself a lawyer!'t
 Mir. Delmas first moved that Jerome's question and Hummers answer be striken from the record and Justice Fitzgerald seemed about to order that done when MT. Del mas again took his ~eet and said:
 Through the extraordinary con- duet of the district attorney this question and answer are in the record. Let them stand waive my right
 Justice Fitzgerald was about to order the recess when MT. Jerome interrupted to say that all of the scientists engaged by the prosecu- ton were in court Thursday and he would like to have the consent to excuse Hummel and postpone hear ing Mrs Thaw until the experts had estified -n :

 in Thaw Case.
Ma, JEROME's HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION
printed in Pamphlet Form and Gov erine 3s Pages Distributed Among the Attorneys and Alienlsts Pres ent--sharp Practice by Jerome and Hummel.

New York, March I5.--Abraham uummel. on the witness stand at the trial of Harry K. Thaw Thursday declared that Evelyn Nesbit told him In 1903 that. she had told Thaw in Paris that 1t was not true Stanford White had drugged and betrayed her
 The answer to question by Dis trict Attorney Jerome was made SC quickly that the counsel for the de- fense had no time to interpose an ob- lection but MT. Delmas let the answer stand, saying there was no occasion to strike it out after it had once been given to the jury, adding significantly that he preferred it should remain a part of the record
 Tn addition to Doctors Austin Flint, William Mabon and Carlos Macdonald, who have been in court every day since the trial began, Mir. Jerome will call Dr Devendorf, of the state hospital at Middletown, Conn. and also a professor of mental diseases at Yale university; Dr. Will liam B. Pritchard, of the New York Poly-Clinic Institute: Dr. William Hirsch. of the Cornell Medical school; Dr. Albert Warren Morris, of the College of Physicians and Sur geons, New York. and Dr. Allan Me Lane Hamilton.
 Mir Jeromes hypothetical question for submission to the experts came from the printers Thursday.
 Mir Jerome distributed copies among the attorneys and the alien ists both for the prosecution and the defense. Harry Thaw himself took a copy of the question. which covered sS printed pages and read it through carefully while Mir. Delmas was arguing
 After Abraham Hummel had been called to the stand at the opening of the Thaw trial Thursday MT. Delmas began hi sargument in reply to Dis trict Attorney Jerome as to the ad- instability of the evidence Hummel has to offer regarding the affidavit Evelyn Nesbit is said to have made in his office.
 The district attorney claimed that this evidence, If allowed would tend to show that Evelyn Nesbit may not have told the defendant the story which is said to have made him insane.
 In beginning his argument MT Delmas touched first upon the point of the professional relations existing between Evelyn Nesbit and Hummel at the time the affidavit was made. Hummel denied Wednesday that he was acting for the girl. saying be was employed by Stanford White and that no legal action was contemplated iu behalf of Miss Nesbit.
 We still contend" said MT. Dell mas. that this witness was acting in the capacity of attorney to this girl II is not for him by his word 10 deny that such relation existed. However we will reserve that ob- icction"
