Tbs proposition of the “young

tbe senate through prior to the Christ
mas holidays met with opposition from
the older Repnblloan senators who
reoall that thsy resisted anti Christmas
re-organization of the senate when tbe
Democrats last gained oontrol, and
should tbe Democrats show a dlsposl
tlon to resist hasty re-organization the
matter will probably go over until after
the holidays. The oommlttee report
will be presented and adopted before

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE
Bowling Green, Mo., Deo, 13—Rloh
ard H. Stillwell, son of the murdered
man by his first wife, was the first wit-
ness on the stand today when the oase
of Dr Hearne was resumed. As to the
searoh for olaes, witness said the
scotching party fonnd all the doors
open to the alley, and matches scat-
tered along. Dr. Hearne was ahead
and fonnd several olaes. Did not plok
np wbat he fonnd, bat kicked them
over with his foot, oalling other peo
pie’s attention. Could not remember
who fonnd the axe. All the windows
and doors were examined and no trao-
es fonnd of any attempt to get into the
house from without. The father and
his wife got along reasonably well to-
gether, bat he knew she was not in
,ovs with him; Mrs. Stillwell told
him this. Said his father was too old
a man for her and she wished she had
married a younger man. Heard Dr
Hearne declare he was looking for a
rioh woman for a wife. Hearne had
asked repeatedly after the murder how
mdoh It was thought tbe estate woald
pan oat? After the marder Hearne
spent most of bis time at the Stillwell
residence. The relations between
Hearne and tbe widow were very olose,
he being very attentive to her and very
offlolons about tbe bouse.
The defense this afternoon sprang a
sensation daring tbe examination of
Rlohard Stillwell, in tbe shape of a
letter written by him to Mrs. Hearne
while she war tbe widow of Amos. J.
Stillwell, and stopping at the Sant
taiium, Battle Creek, Michigan. The
letter, whioh was written in answer to
a telegram from Mrs. Hearne, read as
though Stillwell oould never believe
that either Dr. Hearne or his wife
oonld be guilty of the marder of his
father.
In explaining tbe reason for writing
the letter, Stillwell said: "It was only
natnral for me, so loDg as a member of
my father’s family, to maintain that
my father’s wife was lnnooent of this
orlme.” He then related in detail the
reasons for ohacglng his mind in that
respeot.
Toward the olose of Stillwell’s ex-
amination, tbe defense sprang another
surprise by producing a oopy of a tel#
gram Rtohard Stillwell sent to Mrs
Amos. J. Stillwell at Battle Creek, as
snrlng her of bis oonfldenoe In Dr.
Hearne’s Innocence.
The witness turned the tables by re
marking: “The preservation of this
letter and telegram is proof positive of
guilt." __J_
Abe Tailor Hanged.
Canon City, Col., Deo. 13—Abe Tay-
lor, the murderer of City Marshal
EmeisjD, of Alamosa, wae hanged at
7:10 this evening In the penitentiary.
He went to his death with perfect com
posnre. His neok was broken. Taylor
was a ranchman near Alamoea and with
an accomplice stole a load of oats from
a neighbor and took It to town to sell.
The marshal had been notified and
arrested them. While the officer was
working with the team, which balked,
Taylor got a pistol and a dael began
whioh resulted in the marshal’s death.
Taylor was oaptnred, tried and oon-
vloted of murder in the first degree.
The supreme court reviewed the oase
twioe, both times affirming tbe judg-
ment of the lower oonrt. Efforts to
have the governar Interfere were un-
availing. Taylor seemed perfectly un-
concerned about bis fate.

San Francisco, Deo. 13—Tbe case of
Riohard H. Collier, arrested at the in-
stance of tbe Southern Paolflo for rid-
ing on a ticket issued In the name of
William H. MoPhee, was finally dis-
posed of today. Police Judge Conlan
reduced the oharge to a misdemeanor
and Collier pieBded guilty and paid a
fine of $10. This is a substantial vic-
tory for the railroad. Tbe tloket was
issnea In Ohtoago and sold to Collier
by a lcoil "scalper." Collier was
ejected from the train at Port Costa
and arrested for fslsely Impersonating
another. The railroad did not care to
particularly have a severe penalty In-
stated upon Collier, but wanted to
establish a prlnolple. This case is re
garded as a test one.

from his government entirely disavow-
ing the publication lu the London
Times of what purported to be an In

made by the government. The artlole
quoted President Crespo as expressing
a willingness to make reparation to
Great Britain for the UruaD lnoldent,
whioh Lord Salisbury Is endeavoring
to separate from the long peudieg
boundary dispute.
Tbe position of the Venezuelan gov
ernment, is, as frequently stated, that
the Uruan lnoldent and boundary dls
puts are inseparable, the liabilities of
the government for the Uruan affair
being depend mt on whether or not It
oo urred on Ventzielanor British soil.

mate Rio Grande traffic and paytag
heavy commissions for all bu-
