Baroness de Massey,s TriaI

New York, April 25.-The eircum-
stsntial evidence 80 far adduced to prove
her guilty Of the murder of Gnstaye
Simon, the wealthy shirt waist manu-
facturer, has not disturbed the Baroness
Anisia Louisa de Massey, the French
woman now on trial for her life. When
her trial was resumed today the State
had only shown that she was present 10
Sinon's establishment when the fatal
shots we're fred, and that she had de-
manded OF the manufacturer her wages
for single weeks work. The indiiier-
euce manifested by the baroness and her
counsel has strengthened the belief that
the defense has some big surprise to
spring on Prosecutor Ely at the proper
moment.
1t generally believed that the plan is
to show that a man was concealed In the
Office and fred the shots after the baron
ess left, hoping she would be accused OF
the murder aud knowing Of her dispute
with Simon over her wages. Copious
notes were made by the baroness Of ell
witnesses against her aud she cOunselled
with her attorney frequently in the
oss.exsminsiipn OF witnesses. An i'm
portsnt point gained by the defeuse was
the admission made by Dr. Weston, the
corouer's physician, who examined 81
mon when he appeared as witness for
the prosecution, that Simon's wound
might have been self inflicted.

THE dignity of American naval OFF,

State Root yesterday brought word that
the negro republic would not be able to
send 10 the jamestown Exposition its
sole vice admiral, who would have out
ranked not only Rear Admiral Dob
Evans, but every other naval officer
from every nation which will be repre-
scented by war ships in Hampton Roads.

10 proyide the vice admiral with one OF
the old ships which are laid up in some
Of the navy yards along the coast. 1t
was promised that, when the show at
jamestown was over, the war ship would
be returned and that the vice admiral
would return on one OF the fruit steam
ers running to Haitien ports-prosably
as a member of the crew. Secretary
Root automatically replied that the
United States had no warships to lend,
aud, sensibly suggested that, as James
town was south of Mason and Dixon's
line. there might be some occurrences
which would spoil the vice admiTaPs
pleasure. Yesterdays cablegram closed
the incident. However, it will give The
army officers something TO think about,
for it is said that three high officers OF
