BROTHER DEFENDS HUSTON
Preacher Says Architect Was Duped
Into Capitol Graft.
First Intimation of Defense Against
Charges Made by State OF
Pennsylvania,

Harrisburg Pa, Jan, 29-The first thrill
in the capitol graft trial came to-day
with the appearance on the witness stand
of the Rev. Samuel c. Huston. brother
OF Joseph NJ. Huston, the architect who
designed the capitol building.
The fact that he was a witness for the
Commonwealth sustains the limitations
that Joseph NJ. Illusions defense will be
that he was made a dupe in the frauds by
the misuse Of certificates signed in blank
and intrusted by him to friends in whom
he had confidence.
That certificates signed in blank were
removed by Sanderson and others from
Illusions office during his absence I'm Eu-
rope was the startling statement of the
architects brother on the witness stand.
The Rev Mr. Huston testified that be-
fore leaving for Europe Ia 1896 10 pre-
pare himself for the State capitol work.
Joseph NJ Huston signed number Of
architects certificates In blank. These
certificates We're intended for use On State
capitol certifcations should emergency re-
quire this course
During Illusions absence. according TO
the evidence. John r. Sanderson called at
the office on one occasion and asked for
an architects certificate for the So. 0)0
bill under which the present indictments
are drawn.
Sanderson, II was testified by the archi-
tcct's brother, said that the auditor gen.
eral demanded the certificates before he
would issue warrant. that James NJ.
Shumaker the superintendent Of grounds
and buildings. would approve the bill. and
everything would be all right.
On this assurance the Rev. Mr. Hus-
ton said. he filled out and issued the GER
tlfcatcs which had been signed in blank
by his brother.
The States contention, as developed to-
day. is that the fraud charged lies in the
fact that the bin, certificate, and settle
ment sheet were made out under schedule
item q. which specifies 5000 per foot.
The payment. 1T Is charged, was made I'M
der item -, at $50 per foot. II is In
Juggling Of item numbers that the State
insists fraud was committed.

prevented, It IS believed, by the timely
action Of Secretary Root in notifying
the British government of the suspicious
actions Of several persons in Belize, Brit
sh Honduras, who, Is is said, were plan

Honduras
Several days ago reports were received
in Washington that many former Hon
durans who had left their country at
the time Of the war last year with Me
aragua, were returning from Guatemala,
and the fact that a presidential election
was approaching in Honduras added color
TO the report that a revolutionary plot
was being developed.
Secretary Root notified the British for
eign office Of the activity OF these al
legged consiprators in Belize. and also
called attention of the British government
tG the fact that the United States was
anxious to prevent further revolutionary
movements in Central America.

JAPAN AND CHINA QUARREL.
Dispute Arises Over Telegraph and
Postal Relations.

Pekin. Jan. 29-China and japan are
having trouble now over telegraph and
postal relations. The difficulty would be
insignificant were it not plainly the out
growth of friction concerning territorial
and trade relations
The Chinese say japanese demands for
special privileges in postal matters will
certainly cause Jealousy among other
powers; that the japanese monopoly of
the Siberian mail service connections has
been followed by unreasonable increases
in sea postal rates. and that there is no
good reason to comply with the latest de-
mands in view Of the annoyance il will
probably cause.
Japan has retaliated by neglecting
Chinese proposals for a telegraph conven-
ton. explaining that the Tokyo cabinet
crisis has rendered it impossible to attend
TO such minor matters at present, though
Pekin had expected action by January 10.

AGAINST PROHIBITION.
Manufacturers and Dealers Club
Alarmed at Local Option.

Chicago. Jan. @.-The campaign Of
education on the saloon question is to
be pushed throughout the United States
by liquor dealers and their allies. The
movement was given impetus last night
at a meeting of the Manufacturers and
Dealers Club of Illinois. made up of bus-
ness men connected with the liquor trade.
The object of the campaign is TO create
a sentiment against the local option laws
and districts which are becoming so nu-
merous. It is opposed to "cranks. hypo-
critics, and the fanatieal prohibition eIe-
ment" The movement is not wholly In
the interest of the manufacturers; con
Germ is also felt for the welfare of "the
starving women and children of en-
ployees.' thrown out Of work because OF
the activity Of the prohlbitionists.
