msu's house during a cabinet meeting
today. A terrific battle was fought in
the hallway, psudemonium reigned
throughout the establishment for an
hour, The streets we're packed for blocks
ia each direction, many arrests were
made and a number of people were
roughly handled by the boobies" before
order was restored.
Just what the woman's rights
crusaders wanted did not clearly sp-
pear. 1t seems to have been designed
mainly as a demonstration Of strength
and without q specific object. The
House was stormed in force. the door
was pushed 10 despite the Efforts Of ell
the men servants on the premises and
the leader of the band crowded inside
and engaged 10 hapd-to-hsDd struggle
with the lsckeys 10 an effort to compel
her followers admission.
The eight was at Its climax when q

women under arrest. The moment they
appeared 10 the doorway with her, how
ever. her sisters rushed to her rescue.
The "bobbies" fought for q moment,
then retreated inside the house, barred
the door and ielephoped for reinforce
ments.
A squad Of twenty men finally scat
tered the crowd, dispersed such of the
sufrsgeites as they did not arrest and
pstrolled the reighborhood TO be sure
that there was no attempt again.
Two Of the sufrsgettes had chained
themselves to the area railing 10 front
OF the Osmpell. Zimmerman mansion and
it was necessary for the police to break
the chains 10 arrest them.

Once more a halt has come in the
case Of John w. Richards, who for
several years he's figured 10 the courts

murderer of Maurice Fraucis, Of Roa-
Doke. The crimH was committed 10
1905, when Frsncis was shot down from
ambush while on his way to visit bis
sweetheart. Suspicion pointed 10
Richards, who was q schooltescher.
Two trials resulted in hung juriee, q
verdict of murder in the 6rst degree
being rendered in the third.
The csse has been twice 10 the Court
of Appeals. That tribunal yes.efdsy
morning handed down an opinion which
reyerses the Circuit Court OF Floyd
county and means new trial for the
accused.
Richards was connected with the homi-
eide By bottle of creased shot found
near the scene OF the murder. Ii wss
proved 10 tie jury that eighteen months
previously be had used such shot in hunt
ing. The introduction Of this evidence
constituted an important poiut in the
case. Common report said that the girl
whom Francis was visiting was also the
prime object of the prisoners affections
aud that it was his love for her that
drove bis hand to murder.

FRIDAY Evening. JAN. II, 1903.

IHE es!imqted cost Of the Panama
canal Keeps on growing as the digging
proceeds. L. has SUCCESSFULLY jumped
tom 500, 600, 900 to $3.50, 900. 900 then
5000, 600 600 and $3.50, 900, 600. Now
Colonel G0ethals, chairman of the 18th
misn Canal Commission aud chief en-
sineer of construction, tells the House
committee on interstate and foreign COM
merce, and Secretary Taft tells the
senste committee on inter-ocesnic canals
that the estimate Of $3.50, 600, 900 did
not include the $40, 900, 900 purchase
price paid by the Uuited States to the
Panama Canal Company nor the $lO,-
600, 900 similarly paid to the Republic
of Psnams, therefore the actual total
computed cost would be $500, 900, 600.
The more that is learned of the Panama
canal the more is the belief growing that
Senator Morgan was right when he ad-
vocsted the construction Of the inter
oceanic canal through Nicaragua.

Roadway, and building 10 which was
stored sufficient powder to blow up the
village was threatened. As last re-

began throwing thousands of snowbslls,
made from soft wet snow, aud after q
time prevented the explosion and con-
fued the Games to half dozen build

The impeachment of Judge Peter s.
Grosscup, OF the Seventh United States
Circuit Court, at Chicago, is possible
outcome OF the allegations filed with
the u. s. Supreme Court in connection
with the application Tor review Of the
Judges findings 10 the Chicago street
Railroad case. TIE charges we're held
by Justice Day, to whom the application
was originally made, to be Of such ser
ious character, that he deemed it ad-
gisable to bring the matter to the atten-
ton of the entire bench. 1t is freely
predicted tOdsy that, if the court, after
hearing arguments in support of the sp-
plication next Wednesday should in
clude in its opinion, criticism Of Judge
Gfosscup's assumption of jurisdiction in
the case, steps will he taken TO carry
the charges into the United States Sem
ate in impeachment proceedings. The
complaint Of the petitioners is that Judge
Grosscup bad personal interest in the
