Cork, ireland, March 1.-THE re-

troops into the region.
The government is reluctant to
dignity the disorders by sending a
disciplined force against the ma
rauders. Complaints by English cap
italists, intent on developing the
copper mines said to exist in that re-
gion, have been coming in daily, and
government representatives may be
forced to act.
The difficulty began several weeks
ago with the reopening of the Schulz
& Skibbereen railroad. This road is
narrow gauge, and has been a dere-
lict until recently, when English pro-
moters undertook to develop the cop

Parts of the World.
IT REQUIRES 1000 ACTORS
1t Opens With Two Grand TableauX
and Is Followed by Eighteen
Scenes in the Life of Christ, Be-
ginning With His Entry Into Je-
rusaIem and Ending With the As
CensiOn.

Munich, March 17.-After three
years preparation, the first dress re-
hearsal of the Passion Play, last pro-
duced in 1900, took place at Oberam-
mergau touay. Performances will
continue at intervals until the end of
September.
The play, as usual, begins with two
tableauX, the first representing the
expulsion of Adam and Eve from
Eden, and the second the alteration
of the cross. Then follow 1S scenes
beginning with Christ's entry into Je-
rusalem, and concluding with the as
cension.
In this years rendition Anton Lang,
the village potter, takes the part of
Christ, as in 1900. Johann Twink,
who was Judas ten years ago, also APP

The costumes were all made in the
village, and no makeup is permitted
among any of the performers. Meth

limirary work for ii was carried out
by a local committee under the presi-
dency of the burgomaster, with the
clergymen of the village as honorary
members. AS is always the case, one
third of the net profits will be used
for public purposes.

Serious Clash Takes Place Be-

GreCian Troops Due to Series
of Land Riots.
WANT. TO DIVIDE PROPERTY
Mohammedan Turks Own the Land
and Christian Peasants Demand
Vast Properties BE Divided
Among Themselves--War Between
the Countries Is Imminent, and
Civil War Possibility.

Constantinople, March ia Sc
rious clash between Greek peasants
and Grecian troops, in which many
of the peasants were killed and
wounded, occurred at Kardita, ac-
cording to censored messages mes
sages received from Athens today.
The fight was the result of the land
riots, which are now sweeping the
country.
The peasants, who are Christians,
have demanded that the government
force the big land owners, mostly
Turkish Mohammedans, to divide
their vast property holdings among
the peasants.
The details of the fighting have
not been ascertained, as the dis
patches are being censored. 1t is
known, however, that reinforcements
have been rushed to Kardita to the
aid of the troops already there, as it
is feared that the peasants will crush
out the soldiery.
Civil war is considered a near pos
sibility, as a result of the fighting.
b;oreover the relations between
Turkey and Greece, previously
strained, have now reached tension
almost to the breaking point.
Reports of more fighting on the
frontier between the frontier guards
of the two countries have been re-
ceived, but the dispatches have been
penciled by government censors, and
no details were made public.

ENGLAND

London, March 1.-THE praises
Of Theodore Roosevelt are being
sung today on every side. The accla-
nations of the press and the people
are Rooseyelt's.
Above the general laudation is
heard the expression of a belief that
Roosevelt's brief visit has done more
good for England than armies and
officials could have done in years.
The diplomats and politicians
scanned carefully hoosevelt's utter
ances at Khartoum, with reference to
British rule in Africa. They expressed
pleasure at the remark Of the former
American president that he hoped
that the rule under which the Sou
IN had thriyed would be continued.
Statesmen see In this utterance an
expression Of general public opinion
IN the United States, and take Il as an
indication Of good will.
II Is certain that the American
statesman's remarks will heighten the
cordially Of his reception here. Al
ready tentative plans are under way
for ROOseFelt's reception ga London.

Long Beach, Cal, March 1.-THE
best fish story of the season Is told to-
day by Beth Lawson, who is recount
ing his experience with a 60-foot
whale, an dhis escape from death
from the threshings of the mighty
leviathan.
Unlike most fish story tellers, how
ever, Lawson has plenty of substan-
tiation for his narrative, as several
other followers of the rod and reel
had narrow escapes from death.
Lawson was idly casting his line
from a little shiff on the ocean side
of the San Pedro breakwater. He
felt tug, the line tautened and his
pole bent nearly double.
Lawson bent his energies to hold
ing on Suddenly huge form rose
upward through the water ahead Of
him, a great spout of water shot into
the air as the big fish spouted, and
suddenly the slxiff raced through the
water towed by the monster.
Lawson lost no time in abandoning
bait, hook, line and pole, and in scud-
ding from the troubled seas that
threatened to sink his craft.
The whale was in a playful mood,
and u,nmindful of the yards Of line
and pole trailing behind him, dashed
toward other skiffs of scattered
fishing party. The fishermen saw him
coming and bent oars for the break
water and safety.
Seeing that none of them would
play with him, the whale headed sea-
ward, spouted another column of
water, and, with a farewell wave Of
his tail disappeared beneath the
waves.

[rNIrEp rREss LnAsEp wIRE. l

Watseka, ILL.,, March 17.-Owing to
the general discussion of the Sayler
murder case throughout the country,
the states officers are experiencing
difficulty today in securing a jury TO
try Mrs. j. b. Sayler, her father,
John Grunden, and DR.. William Mil
Ter. charged with having murdered
the woman's husband.
The difficulty of getting men to
serve on the jury is increased by the
fact that one Of the defendants Is a
woman. Many yeniremen who have
been examined have announced en-
pbatically that they never would vote
a death penalty for a woman.
II will be several days, probably.
before the Jury is completed.

THE JUDGE
QUOTED
SCRIPTURE
AND THE LAWYERS TAKE THE
GROUND THAT IN THIS PAR
TICULAR CASE THE APPLICA-
TION OF THE QUOTATION WAS
ININIICAL TO THEIR CLIENTS.

That a rule of evidence passed by
the state legislature and by it made
applicable to a law then in existence
upon the statute books of the state,
can not be made to apply in a court
of law to an act amendatory to that
law, or some other law passed sub
sequently upon the same subject,
was one of the main points raised
by counsel for the defense in the ar
gument of the cases of the state of
Oregon against Hattie McGinnis
Emma Thomas, Dollie Richie, Rose
Leland and Julia Downing before
the supreme court today.
Rule of Evidence Involved.
These cases were all brought be-
fore Judge Burnett in the circuit
court of this county and were the
result of a reform crusade which
had swept over the city. The charge
against each one of the defendants
was that of maintaining and con-
Quoting a bawdy house, and all were
convicted.
Beyond the testimony of a hired
detective or two there was no other
direct testimony against the women,
and their conviction was secured by
the introduction, under state law
on evidence, as to the common repu-
tation of the houses conducted by
them This rule of evidence when
made a law was made applicable to
law then in existence on the sub
ject of the maintaining and conduct
ing of bawdy houses i'm the state
Since then IL has been amended and
the contention of the defense today
was that this amended law repealed
the old law and also this rule OF
evidence; and that II was reversible
error for the presiding judge to al
low evidence as to the common repu.
tation OF the houses conducted by
the women to be introduced
Stone Question Raised.
Another assignment of error
brought up by the defense was the
instructions of Judge Burnett to the
jury with relation to a part of the
argument of Attorney Kaiser. At
torney Kaiser, It appears. took oc-
caslon in making his appeal to the
jury TO revert TO the scriptures and
In the course Of II said: "let him
who is without sin first cast a stone
at her" Judge Burnett. in instruct
ing the jury said: 1T is not a ques-
ton for the jury who cast the first
stone or any other stone, the jury
has nothing to do with that" and
this IL is contended made the argu-
ment of Attorney Kaiser ridiculous
In the eyes of the jury and operated
10 the prejudice of the defendant.
Must Not BE Doubling ThOmases.
Another point relied upon by the
defense was the Judges instruction
on the subject of what constitutes
reasonable doubt. After giving the
ordinary definition OF reasonable
doubt, he made this addition: THE
jury is not entitled to resolve itself
into doubling Thomases, who refuse
TO be convinced by testimony"
This, 1t was contended by the de-
fense, had an effect upon the jury
which was prejudicial to the defen-
daDts, and was reversible error
The state was represented by the
law firm OF McNary and McNary and
the defendants by the firms of Car
son g. Brown and Kaiser & Pogue.
