VOTES TO RAISE MAINE.
Senate, Like House, Remembers"
Havana Hulk-Will Bury Bodies.

After twelve years the Inflated bat
tleship Maine is to be removed from
the Havana harbor and the bodies
which went down with the vessel will
be inferred in the National cemetery
at Arlington. A bill providing for such
removal and burial which has been
passed by the House was the other
day passed by the Senate.
1t is believed that when the wreck
of the Maine is raised, it will be pos
sible to determine the exact cause of
the explosion which on Feb. 10, 1898,
sank this vessel of the famous white
Squadron" with nearly 300 men in
Havana harbor and brought on the
Spanish-American war.
1t has been the general belief in this
country that the Maine was sunk by a
Spanish mine, although the Spanish
officers at Havana vehemently denied
the charge. They declared the ship
either had been blown up by Cuban
rebels in an effort to bring about
American Intervention, or that the ex-
plosion was an interior one, due to
some accident on the vessel. An ex-
animation of the hull, it is believed,
will determine whether a mine was
fired under the Warship.

MUCH STRYCHNINE IN sWOPEs.

Witness, on Stand.

Witness, on Stand.
DR.. Victor G. Vaughan, the toxicolo-
gist of Ann Arbor, Mich, and regard
ed by the State as its most important
witness in the Hyde murder trial in
Kansas City, began his testimony the
other day. Searches for poison made
by him alone and also with the aid of
DR.. Walter S. Haines of Chicago, who
has already testified, had resulted in
the discovery of the following: TWEEN
.y-siX thirty-thirds of a grain of strych
nine in the entire liver of Colonel
Thomas NJ. Swope. Signs of cyanide
IN the stomach. A trace of strychnine
IN kidney. A suggestion, but no
positive proof, of cyanide in the stom-
ach of Chrisman Swope. Strychnine
in the contents of the stomach of Mar
garet Swope. Cyanide in capsules said
to have been thrown into a street by
DR.. B. c. Hyde the night he was ex-
PEELED from the Swope residence, last
Dec. is. In reply to hypothetical Ques-
lions regarding the commissions suf-
fered by these three, DR.. Vaughan said,
in his opinion, they had been caused
by the administration of some con-
vulsive poison, such as cyanide or
strychnine.

death, but the doctors thus far have
refused to make a statement. Some Of
the kings friends are convinced that
worry over the critical political stu
alton which confronted him together
with sleepless nights, aggravated, if it
did not cause, the fatal illness.
King Edward was sincerely loved
throughout the length and breadth OF
England's possessions He was loved
as the great son of a noble mother
and he was loved for himself because
he had in his character that rare COM
mingling of democratic simplicity with
kingly dignity which made him justly
the first gentleman of Europe"
