to the contrary, but added that she had told Mr Lemp of her intention to have the ceremony performed
 Under cross examination she was asked to identify an ante-nuptial contract by which she agreed to surrender all rights of religious instruction of any children born of the marriage to her husband. Mrs Lemp acknowledged the signature of this document but declared she had never seen 1t; that when she signed 1t the paper was so folded as to conceal the contents and that she supposed she was signing another paper that had been read to her
 It was brought out that ante-nuptial agreements had been entered into. One bound Mrs. Lemp not to interfere in the religious training of any child until the offspring was years old and the other signed in the presence of the archbishop of the Roman Catholic church bound MT. Lemp not to object to the baptism of a child according to the rites of that or ganization. Both documents bear the same date and it is the contention of Lemp's attorneys that Mrs. Lemp's agree ment was subsequent to the other and superseded it.
 Later in the proceedings a letter was introduced In evidence which was found by MT. .Lemp among his wife's private papers. It was Addressed to My Dear Little Pal" and contained this sentence: He is going hunting next week and wish to heaven he never would return"
 Mrs. Lemp acknowledged she had writ ten the letter, but explained that she had done so in an effort to find out who had been tamperng with her private letters. She said the letter was a decoy and had been so placed that her husband would see 1t if he searched her desk. She ac- knowledged that "he" referred to in her letter was her husband.

Springfield. O., February S.-That an attemnt was made upon President Lin- coln's life in Baltimore as he was on his way to Washington to take ofhce is told by Mrs. Coggeshall, widow or the Springfield man who saved the President from death.
 All these years the story has re mained A secret with Mrs. Coggeshall, to whom it was told by her husband in secrecy. Lincoln told no one of it, neither in his family nor in his cabinet. It comes to light now merely because Mrs. Coggeshall believes its telling can do no harm and that it may be an interesting addition to the Lincoln lit erature of the month.
 Her story is that a bomb was hurled into the coach occupied by Lincoln as it was standing in the station at Bal timore, and that her husband first showed Lincoln through the door of the car and then hurled the bomp through a window of the coach away from the crowd.
 Coggeshall. who was one of the war President ClOSt lIitlldo, dcCOIilpdIl6u him from Columbus O.. to Washing ton. He was later sent by Lincoln as minister to Ecuador, where he died of yellow fever.
 Mrs Coggeshall says.
 "A change of cars had to be made in Baltimore. The special car dashed into the depot and preparations for an i'm mediate change for the Washington car were made. MT. Lincoln and my husband were the last to leave the coach. MT. Lincoln, who was leading turned Just as they reached the door and saw missing bomb in the seat he was passing. Mir Coggeshall turned and saw what menaced them.
 "He gave Lincoln shove that sent him out onto the platform, grabbed the bomb and hurled it'out of the window opposite to where crowd was gath cred and then hurried to the waiting train. When they had been composed Lincoln exclaimed: Gee, Coggeshall did not tell you that if you came with

President should intimate that he had tried to stir up the sentiment in Cali fornia in opposition to the efforts of the President He stated what his position had been on the subject of a big navy, declaring he had always been in favor of a steady growth of the navy, even though he was against the Presidents four bat tleship programme last session.
 Senator Flint said he had not partici- pated in the conferences at the White House until he was asked to serve as the intermediary between the administration and the California legislature. He made 1t clear that he did not approve of the criti- cism of his colleague.
 While it is becoming apparent that Collector Crum cannot be confirmed at the present time it is also evident the case is being used as a buffer for legisla- ton which the leaders do not intend shall be passed. Senators Tillman, Frazier and Gary made extended speeches today on the race question in the south.
 MT. Gary talked of the Crum case in particular, and against the policy of plac- ing negroes In important official positions where 1t Is necessary for whites to come in contact with them, and especially in cases where practically all of the business of an office is transacted by white people

INVESTIGATION OF
 OPIUM TRAFFIC

Shanghai, February S.-Good progress is being made by the international opium commission. The delegates of seven na- tions, including the United States and Japan, have presented their reports and today China presented her memorandum.
 The Chinese delegate, Tong Kaison, in his introductory statement admitted that the information furnished regarding the area under poppy cultivation and the extent to which the Chinese are addict ed to opium were, in the absence of proper means for collecting statistics largely guess-work
 The report estimates the total produc- ton of native opium in 1906 at 34 800 tons and endeavors to establish that in 1908 the output was reduced to 21,S6O tons. It places the total number of opium smokers at 13,455, 6s9 The report alleges with reference to the enormous increase recently in the clandestine importation of morfia that Japan is the main source of supply. The statement is made that. according to customs relations, only 96 ounces of morfia were imported in the whole of China during 1907. yet such opportunities were known where individ- ual stocks of 1000 ounces or more was kept A list of anti-opum remedies were given, all of them containing opium or morphia.
 Attached to the report are appendices dealing with decrees and regulations which have been issued in connection with the anti-opium movement in China. No reference is made to the creation of an opium monopoly and the repeal of existing clauses in treaties forbidding such monopoly in China, as evidenced fin the opening testimony of Tuang Fang.
