And eating, Calling backward, to

With q smile from the eyes thai

ITALIAN ASSMLANT
 GOES UP FOR LIFE
The Law Terribly Avenges the Injury
 Done to Miss Elizabeth Grapes.

San Rafael. April 3.-Guiseppi Pia, convicted recently of a criminal as- sault upon Miss Elizabeth Grapes on the night of Feb. 6, was sentenced to life imprisonment today by Superior Judge Lennon. A motion for a new trial was denied. The condemned man was extremely nervous in court and almost collapsed when the sen tence was pronounced.
 The crime was of an atrOcious character. Miss Grapes, formerly con- nected with a local newspaper, was walking down the street, and had stopped to listen to the music from a hall where a dance was in progress, when she was approached by Pia, who without a word. struck her sev- eraI blows on head, rendering her unconscious. When she recovered her senses a few moments later she found that nearly all her clothes had been torn from her, and she saw Pia bending over her. She again became unconscious, and her assailant made his escape. She was found some time later, almost nude, and in dazed condition.

NAPLES ON TIPTOE

On Account of His Brief Stay Many Reception Arrangements Cancelled.

Naples, April 3.-Never before have the peole of Naples shown such an interest in the arrival of a foreigner as in the expected visit of eX-Presi dent Roosevelt. UnfOrtunatly, how ever. the brevity of Mir. ROOsevelt's stay here will compel the abandon ments of many arrangements made for his entertainment. He probably will be able to remain in Naples but a few hours, for the latest reports say that the Hamburg will not reach here until Monday afternoon or evening.
 King Emmanuel has instructed the Duke of Aostd to welcome the ex president to Italy in his name and to express to Mir. Roosevelt the kings wish to make his personal acquain- tance, which he would have taken steps to do had not Mir. Roosevelt travelled in the strictest incognito.
 The German emperor, besides send ing greetings, has ordered the Ger man consul general here to fill Mir. Roosevelt's cabin on the steamship Admiral with carnations, red, white and black, the German cOlors, as a token of the emperor's homage.

 The first trades of May were quoted at s1,20@l21is, the latter figure being the high point made during the Gates deal of 1905. The July delivery opened at slOS@1.0Sh. The strength at the start was due to the builish situation surrounding cash grain in this country and an advance of r to & pence in Liverpool. May advanced to $122 and July to s10sA During the final hour the market was bullishly affected by crop damage reports and by the i'm proved demand for flour in the north west The close was strong with May at $1.21% @I21A and July s1.0S&.

THE UNFORTUNATE HERO
 OF SANTIAGO BAY
The Death Yesterday of Vice Admiral
 CeVera.

Puerto Real, Spain, April 3.-Vice Admiral Pascual Cervera. who com manded the Spanish fleet in the bat tie of Santiago, Cuba, died this after noon.
 Admiral Cervera in his last hours asked that no military honOrs be paid him. He showed great fortitude and besought his relatives not to grieve He retained consciousness un- til within a few minutes of his death which was directly due to heart dis ease.
 Vice Admiral Cervera retired from the active list of the Spanish navy on December IA. last. at his own re- quest on account of failing health. Cervera was born February IS, 1S39
 was graduated from the naval acad- emy at San Fernandino and commis- stoned in the foreign service in 1850 ! He served in Morocco and in the Gu
 ban rebellion of 1S6S-7S and was re- called from Cuba to hold the office | of minister of marine
 On the outbreak of the war with
 the United States he sailed from the hCape Verde islands with four cruisers and four torpedo boat destroyers, on April 29. 1898. He entered the har-
 bor of Santiago on May 19 and lost | his entire fleet off that port on July 3 in an attempt to force his way

WHERE EXPERIENCE FAILED
Weight and Stamina of Dark Blue Matched Against Cambridge's Skill and Pres tige Made Up Most Excit- ing Struggle In Years.

Putney, England. April S-In a nerve-raclIng struggle today, Oxford won the sixty-sixth annual boat race from Cambridge on the Thames by three and one half lengths in the fast time of 19 minutes. 50 seconds. Ten days ago the Oxonians were not be- lieved to have a chance, but today. under the leadership of a freshman. R. c. Bourne. who was rowing his first varsity, they defeated a crew. whose stroke, D. c. R. Stuart, thrice had brought his eight to victory
 At the crack of the pistol, Bourne. the oxford stroke, caught the water first, and immediately showed his veteran opponent that oxford was ready to fight it out from start to finish. The crews quickly settled down to the most thrilling race of years First the one, then the other. forged ahead, until twO-thirds of the course had been covered. when the dark blues superior weight and stam- ina began to tell and slowly they crept to the front By the time Barnes bridge was reached, clear wa ter was visible between the boats and thereafter it was only a question of how badly Cambridge would be beaten.
 Stuart called for final desperate spurt, but although the tired crew answered pluckily, the rally was short lived, and did not cut down their opponents lead, which at the end was being gradually increased.

MIR, PAYNE'S
 COMMITTEE FOrCedto Bring In Unintended Amendments oTdriff Bill ITO AVOID RESURRECTION The Ways and Means Com mittee Agrees to Report Fifty Amendments Sug- gested by Threatening Republicans.
ITO AVOID RESURRECTION

Washington, b c. April 3.-Fearing that the demand which they have made for an opportunity to vote on some of the principal schedules In the Payne tariff bill might result in changes which they consider more disadvan- tageous than the provisions now in the bin. nearly thirty republican members of the house met today and agreed upon changes which they desired to have submitted in the form of commit tee amendments. At the same time a meeting of all the members of the ways and means committee was in progress to pass upon amendments which the subcommittee of republican members had submitted. The commit tee will report about fifty amendments. including those striking out the coun- tervailing duty on coffee and the duty on tea.
 Inferring that they would vote against any rule to restrict amend ments to the Payne bill unless the changes they desired were provided for by the ways and means committee, the republicans who met today decided to send a petition to Chairman Payne asking for the following amendments:
 "To the republican members of the ways and means committee the under signed request your committe to pre- sent the following committee amend ments to the Payne tariff bill: An amendment providing for a duty of 45 cents a ton of 2,000 pounds or ard striking out the provisions of reel procity: a duty of g cents a ton on iron ore: a duty of B a ton on pig iron and scrap iron; a duty of 10 per cent on hides: an amendment to the lumber schedule to be confined to the proviso. It is claimed by the leaders of the movement that fully fifty signatures
 of republican members would be sub | scribed to the petition by Monday un- | less the committee offers their amend ments Besides taking off the duty on | tea and coffee the ways and means committee decided today to report nu- merous other amendments reducing the
 duties in the original bills. A duty oi | l5-IOOth of a cent per pound IS i'm
 posed on copperas. or sulphate of iron which was on the free list. A duty on crude and manufactured flourspar Is | fixed at $1.50 per ton. The duty or electrodes used for manufacturing Is
 lowered to 15 per vent ad valorem.

Tom Long boat. the Canadian Indian quit the track in the 2Gth mile, and Alfred Shrubb of England. gave up in the 25th mile. Both were completely eX- hausted in trs-ing to keep the terrific pace set by the Frenchman. Shrubb made a game struggle from the 2Oth Co the 18th mile, but the pace was too fast and the distance too far for him St Yves. almost unknown, covered the Marathon distance of 26 miles, 3S5 wards in , hours, 40 minutes, 5o 3-5 seconds. a remarkable performance under the conditions. and he finished with a fast sprint in good condition
 Dorando was four minutes. i1 3-5 seconds behind the Frenchman, while Hayes followed the Italian across the finish line three minutes and 50 sec onds later. No time was taken on Maloney. the fourth man.

The Disposition of the Bears to Get
 Under Cover Strengthens Prices.

New York, April 3.-The selling Of stocks which depressed prices yester- day was proved by the action of the market today to have included a large portion of the bear operations on the short side. The bears seemed indis- posed to leave commitments open over the week end, and today they bought to cover The scanty selling induced by yesterdays sharp reaction was an influence in inducing this action. There was some evidence of the buying series at the decline in prices. which occurred at the opening in continuation of yes terday's movement, and this also was prompted by the desire of the. shorts to retire from a position considered vulnerable. Bonds were steady. Total sales, s2,14,O00.
