PATTERSON TO TESTIFY
A RumOr in the Cooper Trial in Tennes-
see.

Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 26.--It was
thought last week that the limit in
crowds had been reached in attendance
at the Cooper. Sharp murder trial, but
the throng that surrounded the Jail
building almost before dawn yesterday
made the former crowds seem like a
mere handful Of casual passers by. The
cause Of the excitement was a rumor
that Governor Patterson would take the
stand on behalf OF the defendants as
soon as Colonel Cooper was excused
As the testimony goes on the name OF
the governor is being mentioned more
freely, hence the public accepted the ru-
NOR as a fact and determined to be
present when the chief executiv was
called to testify on behalf OF the men
who have been his ablest political leu
tenants and most devoted personal
friends.
As soon as court opened, Judge Hart
announced that he would exclude the
Lancet editorial offered by the state
10 prove that the Lancet, in which Col
onel Cooper was interested, printed the
original charges against Governor Cox
which. when repeated by the Tennessee
an. caused Colonel Cooper to say that
either he or Carmack must die. Captain
Fitzhugh then resumed Toss-exRmination
of Colonel Cooper.

View OF the Present Regent
OF China
THIS is PREREQUISITE
For Far Eastern Peace--Government Re
form Continues, He Says-Prince
Sends His Ideas in a Letter
to Taft.

Pekin. Feb. 26.--The regency Of the
empire has caused to be sent to Presi-
dcnt-elect William H. Taft communi
ca ton in the form of private letter in
which its ideas and the attitude of the
regent and his advisers on the most ci-
tai questions now before the empire are
set forth at considerable length This
communication is the first direct express
sion of the regents views on the variou
subjects touched on and it comes at a
time when it is known that the regent
is personally anxious regarding the in
depreciation by foreign powers of the
recent dismissal from Office of Grand
Councillor Yuan Shi Kai and the Ameri
can and British official action following
this step. The official of the regency
who composed the letter to Mr. Taft de
clares that the recent ministerial change
was entirely family and personal mat
ter and that it does not signify any
change in the internal or external poll
cies of the empire; on the contrary, the
government purposes vigorously to carry
out reform. In the matter Of consump
tion of opium the communication des-
cribes this as China's humiliation, but ii
says the habit can be eradicated and
that the United States is helping to thi
end. The regency expects Japan to
withdraw from Manehuria. as lasting
peace is dependent upon the return of
the Japanese to their own islands. Good
relations between China and Japan are
Of paramount Importance. The regency
sees obstacles in the way Of Japan
quitting Korea, but 1t entertains the
conviction that ultimately Japan win
give up her foothold in both China and
Korea.

CROWN PRINCE non COMING.
Heir to German Throne viii Not See
American Yacht Races.

Berlin, Feb. 26--It was learned from
a we'll informed source yesterday that
Crown Prince William has decided, after
deliberation and consultation with the
emperor, his father, to abandon his pro-
posed visit to the United States this
summer to take part in the sonderklasse
yacht races.
The crown prince had intended to 60
incognito, and the fact that the sole pur.
pose Of the visit was for participation in
the regatta was to have been empha-
sized, but II seems impossible to carry
out this purpose, and the matter has been
abandoned. The crown prince already
has written the American yachtsmen who
extended him the invitation expressing
his very lively regret at his inability
to accept and the reasons therefor
