From New Mexico.

Galiard Wright of Estancia, N. M., but who until less than a year ago lived near Mena, writes an interesting communication 10 The Star. He seems well pleased with bis new location and with his travels and invites any who are not doing well in Arkansas to try New Mexico. He relates that some people came there expecting to find gold growing on trees but intimates that their minds are soon disabused of such fallacious ideas. He finds but one fault with New Mexico. He says that the "wind blows so hard at times that you could play marbles on your coat tails"
 Galiard is down on bachelors which would indicate that he IS newly married or about to be. His contempt for them is so great that evidently he has had bul small experience in matrlmonia trials. He also has little use ioF loafers and buns and thinks TTncle Samuel should provide work 10 exercise their muscles.
 MT. Wright sends greetings 'e his old friends,

A SEVERE ORDEAL.
Defendant In sapp Murder Trial Puts
 in Hard Day.

lola, Kan. May 27.--Samuel Whit low, on trial for the murder of May Sapp, underwent Monday afternoon four hours of severe cross examination by the attorney for the prosecution. It will probably require all of Tues day mornings session of court to con clude this cross examination. Whit lows original story of the manner In which Miss Sapp took her own life was Rot shaken by the grilling. When court adjourned Monday night tho de- fendant plainly showed the effects of the strain under which he had been all day while on the witness stand.
 During his direct examination Whit low testified that he had called Miss Sapp out of her home on the night of the tragedy by whistle understood by them. He was asked to give a demonstration of this whistle which he did

THE BIGHAM SADDLE CASE.
Supreme Court Gives Second Opinion
 Reversing Itself.

The Supreme court decisions as published in the Arkansas Ga zette of Tuesday contains the following decree on Polk county case of interest:
 Execution was issued by a justice of the peace in Polk county against Bigham for the collection of costs in two suits against Bigham before him. A saddle belonging to Bigham was seized under said execution and was bought at the sale by Dover for SIP. Bigham then brought repleyin against him for the re- covery of the saddle. claiming that the execution and sale were void and lost iu the circuit court. He then appealed to this court and several weeks ago an opinion was handed down holding that the execution was valid, but tha { Bigham should have judgment for the amount paid by Dover over aud above the amount of costs for which the execution was issued. amounting to $9. On last Saturday this court of it's own motion set aside this judgment and now holds that the weight of authority is against the issuing of one execution for the collection ot two separate and distinct judg- ments, and that such joint ex- ecution would be void. The judgment is, therefore, reversed and the case remanded for new trial. MT. Chief Justice Hill and Mir. Justice McCulloch dissent from this decision.

CHAT 0N CURRENCY
LEADERS OF SENATE AND HOUSE TRYING TO REACH AN
 AGREEMENT, sNNs
BILL FOR NEW BUILDINGS IS HELD UP
Representative BarthoIdt Refuses to Submit Conference Report on Meas ure Until Financial Legislation Is Assured-Members Who Had Left for Homes Recalled.

Washington, May 27.-Currency leg islation was the chief topic between leaders of the senate and house Mon day. The revival of the discussion came unexpectedly and led to all sorts of rumors of probable agreement be- tween the conferees on the Aldrich- Vreeland bill looking to the enactment of measure at the present session.
 Many Republican members of the house do not seek to disguise their fear that if congress should adjourn without passing an emergency cur rency bill the failure to take action would be disastrous to the majority. This fear was emphasized by Repre- sentative Bartholdt of Missouri, chair man of the house committee on pub lie buildings, who declared that he would not submit his conference re port on the omnibus bill until finan- cial legislation had been assured. His action holds the buildings bill in which 316 members of the house ald many senators are interested over the heads of ''any recalcitrant group or faction" that may be opposed to an agreement on emergency currency. There are many members of both branches of congress who believe that the impression given out by many leaders that there is no hope for action at the present session is for the pur- pose of arousing the country to de mand action before adjournment. If result would be in doubt Early in the day the report was circulated in the house that there was a movement 10 foot to "dovetail" the Aldrich and Vreeland bills, retaining the principal features of each The effect of this course would be to permit individual banks to take out emergency circu- lation on government, state, county or municipal bonds, or as an alternative proposition, to take out emergency guaranteed by banks of clearing house association as provided by the Vreeland bill
 No sooner had this scheme for a compromise reached the senate than the Democratic leaders served notice on Senator Aldrich that they were ready to talk for month to prevent any feature of the Vreeland bill be. coming law. Although Speaker Can non was supposed to father the com promise movement 1t met with decided opposition in the house. Representa- tive Barton of Ohio, one of the Re. publican conferees on the bill. had opposed the Aldrich measure and was pledged to a considerable following to do all he conld to prevent the adop- ton of any of it's principles.
 Conceding that the Democrats of the senate will not yield, the chance for legislation is slight.
 That Speaker Cannon entertains hopes that there will yet be an agree ment is indicated by the fact that the sergeantat-arms of the house is ad- monishing members not to leave tho city until final adjournment has been decided upon and in some few cases members who have already gone home have been asked to come back.

fHAW STILL INSANE
"A REPLICATION FOR RELEASE ON WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS RE FUSED BY THE COURT.
|s LAWFULLY COMMITTED 10 ASYLUM
IA nnlication Will Be Made to Have the
 Young Millionaire Confined m Some Other Asylum Than Mateawan-- .Jidoe Thinks Thaw Got of With Iiuht Punishment.

poughkeepsie, N. Y., May 26.-Harry l< Tbaw. the slayer of Stanford White, < *vill not be released from the asylum Erbis is the decision reached by Justice ENIorshauser of the supreme court in Ean opinion filed early this morning in kthe matter of Thaw's application for |rolease on a writ of habeas corpus. Both points brought up by Thaws |attorneys are decided against him. The Justice declares that Taw is now in 4sane and should not be allowed at Large, and he further declares that the commitment to the asylum by Justice IDowling after the last trial of the case was entirely legal.
 Thaw's lawyers will apply Monday I to the court for permission to place |Taw in some other institution than the EMatteawan asylum, and by stipulation | with the district attorney the prisoner l Twill be kept in the jail here until Jus Etice Morshauser renders decision. |The justice is holding court al White Plains this week and will not be able to hear the application before next .week.
 In concluding his long review of the case, Justice Morshauser says: I believe no injustice has been done Ito Thaw or will be done to him by de- Epriving him of his liberty until such |time as he can be discharged by the |method prescribed by law
 Bearing in mind the usual punish ment for the act which led up to the detention of said Thaw is death or a |long term of Imprisonment, and that said Thaw escaped the consequences of such act solely by reason of his #existing mental condition, l do not deem it proper to allow Thaw his free dom, suffering as he is from some form of insanity, with the possible re currence of an attack similar to that which the jury believed he was sui
 fering from when he killed Stanford White.
 In view of the existing mental condi-
 ton of said Thaw, the safety of the public is better insured by his re- malning in custody and under observa-
 ton until he has recovered or until
 such time as 1t shall be reasonably certain that there is no danger of a recurring attack of the delusion or
 whatever 1t may be.

WILL BE SHOT AT
WILL RISK THEiR LIVES IN A NAVAL
 TEST.
BAND OF OBSERVERS WILL BE UNDER FIRE
While the Big Guns of the Arkansas and Torpedoes From the Morris Are Being Fired at the Florida a Crew Will Man the Monitor--To Test Plates.

Norfolk, Va, May 27--A little band jeopardy at Hampton Roads when the monitor Florida will become the tar get of it's sister ship, the Arkansas. so that the naval experts may determine the effect of modern gun fire of heavy caliber on the inner mechanism of the turret of a fighting ship.
 There will be none of the glamour of war or the vaunted heroism of death in battle about the cool courage of Commander Quimby of the Florida and his men, Theirs will be a premed- itated and reasoning risk of their lives for the advancement of the sci ence of dealing death.
 Everything is in readiness for the tests in lower Chesapeake bay Wednesday. Torpedoes also will be shot at the Florida under water by the torpedo boat Morris. All the vessels which are to participate in the naval experiments are in Hampton Roads, having left the Norfolk navy yard yes terday.
 Commander Quimby and his men have full faith in the ability of their ship to withstand serious damage from the guns of the Arkansas. and they have no doubt of the repeiling, by the torpedo net" about the Florida below the water line, of the torpedoes that will be shot at her by the Nor ris. It will be a testing of the armor plate of the Florida and of the ability of that class of vessel to withstand heavy firing from modern guns as we'll as the craftsmanship of those doing the firing.
 Practically all of those who will oc- cupy hazardous positions on the Flor ida are volunteers, who offered their services when the call went out from the navy department. The tests are being watched with great interest. not only here, but by the officials at Washington, as well as by foreign representatives.

GREAT FLOODS CAUSING
 DEATH AND DESTRUCTION
Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas Suffering Loss of Life and Crops From High Water
 Havoc in Fort Smith District.

Fort Smith, May B. Hun dreds of families living in the Ok lahoma bottoms near Fort Smith have been driven from their homes by the high water.
 All night long there was a stream of refugees crossing the Poteau bridge. coming into the city. =
 Thousands of acres are under water in the Potcau bottoms and the crops have been destroyed.
 For mile above the city the track of the Kansas City South ern is about the only thing that separates the Arkansas river from the Poteau. The Point. is all under water. The water is stand ing foot or more in the floors of a number of houses in the Poteau bottoms.
 The Arkansas river has over- flowed thousands of acres ia the Cherokee bottoms, but 1t is said the acreage of cultivated land in- undated is not so large as in the Poteau bottoms. East of the city, hundreds of acres are ten feet un. der water.
 The damage done will be very great, as much of the land over flowed was planted in potatoes, which were nearly ready to dig and which will be an entire loss unless the waters recede as speed fly as they rose and the weather is especially propitious.
 The rise began Saturday night and the danger mark was passed Sunday afternoon. There was g rise of about nine feet in the 24 hours. Last night the river rose more than four feet. The river is more than three feet higher than the previous big rise and high her than 1t has been at any time since 1902, when a new high water record was made.
