BARRY Is RETIRED.

The flag OF Rear Admiral Barry was
hauled down in San Francisco, yester-
day afternoon from the West Virginia,
while Rear Admiral Thomas's flag, rs
commander-in-ch of the Pacific fleet,
was hoisted on the cruiser Cali
fornia. The retiring admiral was given
the usual salute by the West Virginia
but the California. Maryland anc
Pennsylvania failed to salute. Wher
Admiral Thomas's flag was run up, al
four warships gave him the usual ad
miral' salute.
Barry, after the ceremony, went tc
his cabin. There was no lining up o
officers as usual, and no departure o.
the retiring officer over the side, which
is usually an impressive ceremony
Instead, the admiral stalked away te
his cabin and there remained until nigu
when he went ashore.
Rear Admiral Barry has made thu
following statement:
A good while ago there was ioot'
ball game between the teams from tht
West Virginia and the Maryland. One
OF the players on the West Virginl'
team was hurt. That young man wa:
detailed at my door. l asked him i
he was all right. He said he had faint
ed that day.
He was on watch there the follow
ing day. asked him where his hel(
hurt him, and put my hand on The
back OF his head and passed my hant
over his face two or three times.
tapped him on the back two or thee'
times.
while this was going on some one
was looking down through the skylight
That is my story, and that is all there
is to it,"

The Trial of Mrs. Erhenck.

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 17.-LundJ
Wilson, John Schenck's 81 year-olc
chauffeur, was called to tho stand this
morning in the Laura Farnsworth
Schenck trial.
The first hour OF this mornings ses-
sion was devoted to Prosecutor Hand
lan's attempt to exclude Harvey D..
Smith, Pittsburg reporter, because OF
his version OF the proceedings. Smith
was warmly defended by Mrs. Schenck's
attorneys. The reporter was called be-
fore the bar and dismissed with q warn
ing.
The witness told of Mrs. Schenck's
attentions to Dan Phillips, the young
music clerk. He also described the
midnight rides OF Phillips and Mrs.
Schenck.
Wilson said he had seen Mrs. Schenck
and Phillips in an improper position.
Mrs. Schenck, he said, told him Of her
love for the boyish clerk.
The chauffeur told OF special night
gown" which Mrs. Schenck had while
her husband was away.
Witness also said Mrs. Schenck said
she preferred Phillips to her husband.
The night before Mrs. Schenck's arrest
was the occasion Of the last clandestine
JOY ride, Wilson said.
DR.. ]. w. Myers, a we'll known
physician, was called to the stand this
afternoon. He swore that Mrs. Schenck
bought poison from him. He said she
asked him to keep her visit secret.

ATTEMPT TO KILL PREMIER.

Two Shots Fired at Premier BRAND In
the French Chamber of Deputies
One Ball Strikes Director of Public
Relief.
Paris, Jan. 17.-An unsuccessful
attempt was made to assassinate Pre-
mier BRAND while the Chamber OF
Deputies was in session this afternoon.
The assassin fred shot at the minis
ter from behind a pillar.
The shot went wide of its mark, but
struck NJ. Mirman, who was standing
beside the premier and badly wounded
him.
nj. Mirman is director OF public re-
lief. Tho bullet struck him in the
right leg.
The attack on the premier threw the
chamber into an uproar. This is the
second time BRAND has been assaulted
within the last few weeks. On Noyem-
Der 20 he was struck twice in the face
by NJ. Lacour, a royalist, during the
dedication of the statue OF Jules Ferry.
Brands assailant is named Gisolme.
He was formerly q professor in Pau
College. He obtained admission to the
second gallery of the chamber by pre-
senting the catd OF his brother. who is
an employe OF the ministry. Gisolme
used large cavalry revolver and fred
two shots. The second bullet passed
within an inch OF Brands head.
Gisolme started to escape from the
chamber and almost succeeded, as there
was such pandemnium in the room that
no one seemed to know what to do.
Finally several spectators and two
bailiffs seized the would-be assassin and
disarmed him. He was rushed into q
cloak room, and there kept under a
close guard until the gendarmes arrived
and took him TO Jail.
Gisolme is believed to be mentally
unbalanced. He was only recently re-
leased from an insane aylum. When
he was first seized he talked nationally
and expressed his sorrow at shooting
NJ. Mirman.
BRAND was the man ! was after,
he exclaimed.
At tho police station, however, Gis'
dime said he fired for fun and to see
how much excitement it would create.
BRAND incurred tic enmity OF Gis
dime several yearsago, when as a cabinet
minister, he discharged Gisolme from q
public Office because he fired revolver
at the French consul at Sebastian.
The premier was pressed for state
mcnt regarding the attack on him but
refused, declaring that an interview
from him at this time might interfere
with instice.
That Gisolme was bent on murder
was shown by the fact that after he
was seized he struggled with his cap
tors and tried to continue firing.
Justice Mirman was rushed to hos
pitaI where it was found that his injury
was not bad as at first thought.
Gisome is radical socialist, which
fact probably added to his enmity o
BRAND, who is accused by the socialist
of deserving their cause when he saw
chance to win governmental favor.

NOT SOUND IN THE FAITH,

Norman NJ Thomas, graduate oil
Union Theological Seminary, although
a strong minority charged heterodoxy.
Rev. Mr.. Thomas will beome assistau of
pastor OF the Brick Church, in New
York. The opposition to Mr.. Thomas
was based On the same ground as that
against the admission some time ago
OF Reva. Steen, Black and Fitch, also
Union Theological Seminary graduates,
Broadly, the basis for the protes. was
that Mr.. Thomas did not accept the au-
shortly OF the Holy Scripture as the
only infallible rule OF faith and prac.
tice. This, it was charged, appeared
in his repeated refusals TO affirm his
faith in the Virgin birth OF Christ. the
raising OF Lazarus from the dead and
the raising OF Christ's body from the
grave"

Rescued from Burning Building

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 17.-Over one
hundred girls were rescued from the
third floor OF burning factory build,
ing here today, and it is feared thai
several may have persisted. When the
fro sent suffocating smoke through
the building, many Of the girl-workers
were overcome. Nearly all, however,
were taken out through the windows oil
the third floor where most OF the opera
tives were at work. The factory was in
the terminal district, the scene Of the
million-dollar fire OF three years ago.
The loss is estimated at $4,000. The
girls we're skirt-makers.
After the firemen gained control OF
the flames an investigation led to the
belief that all OF the occupants of the
building escaped.

AUTO MADE CLEAN SWEEP.

Joseph Sinclair, New York laborer,
late yesterday afternoon found himself
in danger from northbound surface
car and an automobile going in the
same direction. To save himself he
jumped on the step of the car and was
hanging there when the automobile
swept past.
There was sound OF ripping cloth
and Sinclair yelled in terror. Some
part of the machine had caught in his
clothing. His trousers and underwear
below the waist were torn completely
off. The automobile had made clean
sweep without leaving 4 Scratch. Seek
ing warmth and shelter, Sinclair darted
into the car. About half OF the pas
sengers in the crowded car were wo-
men. Sinclair yelled and bounced off
the car.
Fortunately, the driver OF the auto
mobile which had deprived him Of
clothing brought the machine back and
gave him a blanket. Sinclair climbed
into the car and was taken home.

British shipowners take little stock IN

OF the Seamen's Union, that general
strike will take effect coronation week.

tiycs, deserted by his former friends,
and practically pennilcss, James h.

Edgeield, S. C. It is believed he can
not survive many weeks longer. He
has not been able to sit up in bed for
months.
| Acting Secretary. Of Agriculture
Hays says: 1t is useless to expect that
there will ever be return to the old
low standard OF prices. Conditions in
the country have changed. When the
latest statistics are given out by the
census bureau, it will be found that
the value OF agricultural lands has
gone up. This may be surprise tc
those who talk about the desertion OF
farms for the city, but it is fact,
nevertheless.
John Anderson, saloon proprietor
and Ben Christensen, bartender II

ALEXANDRIA,, VA.
TUESDAY EVENING. JAN. Il

A PAMPHLET regarding the potash
situation between Germany and TINS
country is being distributed and read
throughout the country, as the matter
is indirectly Of interest to all. The OBJ
iect Of the writer OF the pamphlet IS TO
enable the American farmer TO realize
that under present conditions, in so Tar
as potash is concerned, nc Is at the
mercy Of the German mine owners;
and. mine owners, through the a'd OF
the German government, are discriml-
mating against him alone, and not
against the farmers OF other countries,
The only recourse lies IN getting the
president to put into effect, as against
Germany, the maximum provision OF
the Paync-Aldrich tariff act.
The following paragraphs from the
pamphlet set forth the facts in the
case:
For the past twenty-five years the
German mines have maintained close
monopoly OF potash by means OF the
German Kali-Syndikat" which has
controlled not only the production but
also the prices in all markets Of the
world. This syndicate has generally
been formed for periods OF live years,
tbe last OF which expired by Limitation
on midnight OF June 3o;h, 1863. BE
tween the expiration Of that syndicate
and the formation of the present one
there was an interim OF a few hours
when Robert S. Bradley, then IN Der
lin, made large contracts with ndt
vidual mines for a period OF seven year;
at prices about 80 per cent below those
Of the former syndicate.
A new syndicate, however, was w
expectedly formed on July ISt, ans
Immediately thereafter its representa-
tiyes set about to try to eliminate The
Bradley contracts, which they feare'
would prevent their maintaining synd!
cate prices in the United States WIN
in ten days Geheimrat Neinpher Ithe'
n director and now president OF Tn
"Kali-Syndikat') threatened Mr.
Bradley that the German government
would pass law imposing an eSpor
duty upon potash, which would inva!l'
date his contracts, unless these were
surrendered or compromised in some
manner satisfactory to the "kall-Syn
dikat. +"
"The Americans have been ohllgeI
to pay tax equal to so per ton OF
muriate Of potash on all shipment:
from the independent mines s!ace th'
law went into effect in May last, thu
increasing the contract price from 80
