New York, Dec, 3,--Steamships ar irving from Europe to-day by way of the northern route brought stories of stormy weather and winter conditions on the passage
 The steamship California, one of the stanchest of the Anchor Line fleet reached here from Glasgow three days late, after the most turbulent passage i she has ever had, according to her captain.
 With two of tho companionways braced up with heavy blanks and her side rails bent and twisted. the vessel still bore signs of a three-days storm that tossed her about to the terror of the passengers. On Sunday morn ing while David Bearn of Dundee, Scotland, was sitting on chair on the after part of the promenade deck, an immense wave washed over the side of the vessel and carried him out of his seat and up against the wall.
 As the wave receded Bearn was dropped to the deck on his back, and would have gone overheard had not a woman passenger. who was sixty feet off, rushed up and seized him.
 Shortly after the California arrived with a storm story the White Stal liner Majestic came in with one tha' fairly well duplicated 1t, so far a, the rough weather was concerned

 'I say that the government in the Philippines will fail, Look at our dealings with the Indians during a pe- riod which is well termed a century of dishonor. Even in the case of the negro we do not know how to deal with him. The negroes are not sure of their lives in tho south or middle west and one can hardly find good IhNlllDll llflf III lBRNl'lA AiiVAE v IAE tlldS be competent as a stenographer or q lawyer or what not.

Davis, the dol, fendant, with the death of pr, Rustln were the features of the trial of Davis for the physicians murder on the morning of September ?, Two or three minor witnesses were called just as court convened this morning, and Mrs. Rice occupied the stand the remalnd- CT of the day. Her recital of her re- lations vita the dead surgeon, was not less dramatic than on the two for mcr occasions when she was. asked ,t to give the details of an alleged mutual agreement to destroy their lives.

 in each instance the state scored a victory

 Once during her narrative when she referred t0 Rustin's mother, Mrs. Rice broke into tears but soon reganed her composure.
