NEW YORK. March 17—When court
adjourned Friday in the trial of Pat-
rick. accused of the murder of William
M. Rice. Christian schepflin of Dunel-
' ion, N. J., was n the stand. He had
testified that be and Rice were friends
for twenty-five years. He was not
I permitted to repeat a conversation he
bad with Rice regarding Patrick.
Counsel for the defendant said they de-
sired to show that Rice told Schepflin
he had made Patrick his heir, and Re-
corder Goff said he would reconsider
his refusal to allow the conversation as
evidence if the defense could show
' authority for the admission of such tes-
timony. Today Mr. House of Patrick's
counsel said he had found such author-
' ity. and was preparing a brief. Mr.
Schepflin left the stand pending a set-
tlement of the point. and Mise Alice
Potts, daughter of John R. Potts, a
lawyer friend of Patrick's, was called.

ed the piano and Patrick sang hymns.

Mrs. Margaret J. Elliott corroborated

tradict the testimony of Dr. Whittiesy

Patrick at Patrick's office in the St.
Paul building in March, 1900, and that
Patrick asked him to see Mr. Rice,and
try to arrange a compromise of the
Rice-Holt litigation. Mr. Lewis testi-
fied that Patrick's lease expired in
May, 1899, and that he had no office in
the St. Paul building since that date.
Morris Meyer, a lawyer and notary,
testified that he was employed as a
clerk in Patrick’s office. Patrick sent
him to see Rice on buaineas, and he was
shown into Rice's room by Jones. Hix
months later, on .June 30, 1900, he was
in Rice's room and witnessed a win
made by Rice. He signed the will after
he had seen Rice sign it. Rice signed
on each of the four pages of the will
and asked Meyer to do the same. The
witness said he also saw David L
Ehort sign on each of the four pages.
This will Is the one known as the 1900
will, which gave Rice's residuary estae
to Patrick.

signature to the general assignment,

STUDENT DISORDERS.
LONDON. March 1?.—Referring to
the student disorders which took place
in St. Petersburg Sunday the corre-
spondent of the Times says the soldiers
were ordered to use the fiat ef their
swords in dispersing the rioters, but
that they became excited and struck
wildly. Several persons were wounded
and there seems to be little doubt that
several rioters were killed.
MEXICO CITY. March 17—Some
fortnight ago various American pa-
pede had a letter signed by "Inno
mato," a correspondent at Rome. In
which it was distinctly stated that the
vatiean and the government of Mex-
ico had agreed. on a plan or concordat
which would be for the regeneration
'of thia country. The highest eccle-
slastieal authority here denies that
any plan regarding the status of the
Catholic church in this country has
b*e« devised at Rome, and certainly
nothing has been done here. A con-
cordat would imply that the appoint-
ment of high ecclesiastics here would
become a matter of political concern,
and the church stands quite apart
from the government, which deala 1m-
parttally with all faiths and denomt-
natious of Christians.

MARTIA^. LAW.
LONDON. March 1 17—The premier.
Lord Salsbury, was called on to de-
fend the government in the house of
lords today, by a motion of Earl Spen-
cer. iiberalxdemandihg detailed infor-
mation regarding martial law, courta
martial and executtons in Cape Colorty.
Lord Coleridge, 'liberal, who followed,
declared that martial law was imposed
over a vast area of South Africa where
not a shot had been fired and where
there is no resistance to government
authority. Lord Salisbury said martial
law was a mere fashion of speech.
Every one admitted that it was neces-
sary to defeat the designs of the king's
enemies in South Africa. This the
government was determined to do and
he added there was plenty of armed
reststence in Cape Colony to fully jus-
tify the application of marital law.
