DR.. Victor c. 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: Twen-
ty-six thirty-thirds of grain of strych-
nine in the entire liver of Colonel

in the stomach. A trace of s. ychnine
in q kidney. A suggestion, but no
positive proof, of cyanide in the stom-

garet Swope. Cyanide in capsules said
to have been thrown into a street by
Dr. b. c. Hyde the night he VS. ex-
PEELED from the Swope residence, last
Dec. Is. In reply to hypothetical ques-
tions 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.

1t is believed that when the wreck

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 ct Havana yehemently 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.

CHICAGO.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
Chicago trade says:
The current developments in the
course of trade exhibit further irregu-
larity and the progress made is slow
er than expected. The record of trad
ing defaults is seen to be comparative
ly lev. but the volume of solvent pay
ments through the banks is only a
small percentage better than a year
ago.
Money is more costly for business
purposes and strike settlements are
not obtained promptly, although the
most serious danger to transportation
is averted by higher wage concessions.
Other difficulties which are hurtful
appear in coal mining and building
industries. Another handicap is the
delayed return of seasonable weather.
This adverse feature operates against
successful dealings in the leading re-
tail lines and outside construction.
THE distributive branches OF gen
eral merchandise move unevenly.
Fashionable apparel is. still in moder
ate request and stocks of spring goods
are not reduced equal to expectations.
The advent of warmer weather will
bring about the desired improvement
In wholesale branches the bookings
are fair for summer and fall lines of
dry goods, silks, footwear, millinery,
clothing and furniture.
