then thu chief Justice of Capo Colony, or
even J. I'. Hoffmcyer.
Thin groat financial Journal will lead lip
to Its proposal by sin analysis of tho Bltua

"S'o aro losing In every way, losing In
prestige nnd losing In life. Wo tiro toeing
our South African possessions pluugcd Into

"If men llko no'm nnd Dowet volun
tarily surrender una bind themselves not

8tatlst will say, "la there nny good reason
why a promise should not bo given not to

Robinson suggests that llotha nnd Dewct

TJio suggestion Is worthy of approval. The
Xloera should not bo excluded, even from
the "beginning, from anything which can
safely bo glvcp them."
Toud for (ioKnlp Only.
There Is virtually no fresh news from
South Africa, i'Ut tho retirement of Lord
Wolseloy. tho return of Lord Iloborts and
the appointment of Lord Kitchener to tho
supremo command, occurring as they do
simultaneously, nro keenly discussed. De
spite some misgivings, hearty approval Is
generally expressed of Lord Kltchenct's
appointment. It Is folt that If anyone can
clenr up mailers In South Africa hi Is tho
nun, and it Is readily admitted that the
task before him, though of n different kind,
la almost as difficult as that whlnh faced
Lord RobcrU ten months ago nnd is calcu
lated to glJj tho fullest scope to all of
Kitchener's talents na un organizer.
Tho Morning Tost hints broadly that tho
recent demaud of Lord Roberts for re
inforcements has not beun compiled with
'and Inslsto that Lord Kitchener's hands
must not hi tied by any lack of men or
horses. It snys;
"If rclnforcoments nro withheld or de
layed Lord Kltchenor niny be paralyzed,
with what consequences to the empire no
one can foresee Kroru 30,000 to 60,000 men
aro required."
All tho editorials dwell with consider
ablo emotion on tho nation's debt of grati
tude to Lord Itobcrtn, who has "success
fully piloted us through one of tho dark
est hours of our history."
From Capetown como Indications of tho
uneasiness felt. All military posts through
out Capo Colony aro being strengthened.
Illoomfontcln Is now prepared for any pos
slblo attack. Extra smuts arc out and
gunrds wntch tho streets In tho night

At tho snmo time measures aro bolus

with .Mr. Kruger In tho same terms as tho

ceiving callers until shortly after 1 o'clock
this afternoon, when, accompanied by Dr.
Leyds nnd tho usual military escort, ho
colled on M. Fallleres, president of tho

after which Mr. Kruger returned to his

LONDON. Nov. 30. Sir Edmund J Mun-
son, the Ilrltlsh ambassador nt Paris, has
nrrlvol In London of threo days' leave of
nbsenco on piivnto business.
IIUKI.I.N, Nov. 30. Tho semi-official
stntemcnt that Mr. Kruger Is coming hero
Is discussed cautiously. It Is regarded as
premature to predict that Emperor William
will receive him. Thero Is no appreciable
sign of n public demonstration and some of
tho pupcin warn tho public to beware of n
policy of sentiment, pointing out that Oer
many Is not In a position to change the fnto
of tho Transvaal and doprcatlug mnnlfcs
tatlnns which arc likely to clash with the
government's policy.
Tho agrarian organs express tho earnest
hope that Emperor William will reader
powerful assistance to Mr. Kruger. The
liberal press, for tho grentcr part, con-
nldcra thnt his coming will bo useless. The
National Kcltung Bays:
"Seeing that certain failure would nwalt
him here, wo should regret the old gentle
man's tiresome trip to Ilcrlln. which at
best could only lead to demonstrations
having no political vnluo for tho causo of
tho UoerB."
Thero Is no truth, tho correspondent of
tho Associated Press Is luformed, In tho
Ftntoment thnt a movement Is on foot for
Intervention by Germany, Frauce and Rus
sla. Regarding tho question whether Oor
mrny, If nsked, would offer mediation, thero
Is high otllclal authority for the assertion
that Germany would bo compelled to refuse
to mnko such an uffcr, unless also asked
by Oreat L'rltaln.
"If It be truo that Dr. Lcyds has notified
Count von Duelow of Mr. Krugcr's condl

attitude. In tho event of Mr. Krugcr's
coming, however, ho will bo received ns
president of tho South African republic,
since Great Ilrltnln's annexation of tho ter

Nearly all tho dead sustained fractures
of the skull or fatal Injuries to their spinal

Ucr Hit Victim.
ELDORADO, Kan., Nov. 30. Jessie Mor
rison, calm and collected nnd scarcely
moving a muscle, listened to tho dramatic
tceltal by two ot hor former nelghbiiD of
tho tniElc death sttuggles of Mrs. G Olln
Castle, for who.io murder she Is being tried.
Tho witnesses were Mrs. initio Moberly
and Mrs. Emma R. Spangler, the first per
sona to enter tho Catlo homo In response
to Mrs. Castle's screams for help. Thoy
were Introduced by the state and will prob
ably prove tho strongest witnesses put
forth by tho prosecution. Mr.. Spangler,
with thcatrlcnl effect, went through tho
motions that sho claims to have witnessed
through tho window ns Mrs. Castle lay
upon tho -floor, her throat cut In n dozen
place, nnd with Miss Morrison standing
over her and clutching nt her throat. Men
end women crowded and pushed ono nnother
In their eagerness to witness tho proceed
ings and drank In every word of the testi
mony. Tho trial wns gotten fairly under
way at noon. A total of 115 witnesses will
bo presented for examination.
Tbo Morrison family, the Castles nnd tho
Wlleya worn all present. Thero wero not
t-eats enough for them all nnd Olln Castle,
tho man In the caee, was compelled to
stnnd. Tho entrnnco of tho prisoner cnufed
a buzz of whispers that brought from tho
bailiff n demand for order. Miss Morrison,
unchanged In appearance, was conducted to
her sent by her father, nnd ho nnd her two
married sisters and a brother grouped
themselves near by. During Attorney
Ilrtimbaclt'B recital ot tho caso tho prisoner
watched htm closely with her fingers to her
lips, while Roland Wiley, father of the mur
dered woman, covered his eyes with his
hand nnd was unablo to refrain from crying.
Miilciiie nt by Prosecution.
Attorney llrumbaok for tho stato said:
"Wo exrect tho evidence to show that
Je.sslo Morrison went by a circuitous route
to Mr. Custlo's house prepared to kill and
murder Clara Wiley Castle."
They would bhow, he said, that tho pris
oner went armed with two razors, or a
razor nnd a knife, and that shu attacked
Mrs, Castle, Inflicting eighteen wounds. Tho
crime, it would bo shown, was committed
tbtough passion, Jealousy and unger, malice
nnd hatred against Mrs. Castlo and her hus
baud nnd tho stnto would ask for a verdict
of murder In the first degree.
A. T. Kramer stated tho caso for tho do
feuso and said they could show that Miss
Morrtson hnd cut Mrs. CuBtle In self-defense
after the latter had attacked her. They
would show, In said, that Olln Castlo con
tinued to pay Miss Morrison nttcntlon after
ho become engaged to Miss Wiley and that
ho continued to mako her presents and send
her love letters. The testimony would show-
that thq defendant showed all tho notes and
letters to MIsb. Wiley and that tho latter
became Jealous of and unfriendly toward
Miss Morrison; that Miss Wiley, after uho
had become Mrs. Castle, railed Miss Morri
son Into her house and after accusing her
of being too Intimate with Castlo attacked
her with a razor. After that Miss Morrison
cut Mrs. Castlo In self-defense. "What she
did," said Attorney Kramer, "was done bo
cause sho thought It was necessary to save
her own llfn; the other woman was pressing
tho fight nnd Jessie Morrison did what tdie
did in order to keep tho other woman In
her auger and frenzy from killing her."
Mr. Molierly'-i llriuuii t le Story,
Mrs. Moberly told of breaking Into the
house and finding Mrs. Castlo lying on the
floor with her throat cut nnd Jessie Morri
son bending over her. Sho pushed Miss
Morrison back, she snid, nnd as she did so
tho latter tried to got something from her
shoe. She held Miss Morrison so sho could
not move and demauded an explanation of
the situation.
"Sho tried to kill me," said MIsb Morri
son." Mrs. Moberly testified to seeing a black
hnndlcd razor lying on tho body of Mrs.
Castle a if Miss Morrison stood over her.
When a blood-stained razor that had been
found In tho Castlo homo was exhibited
witness said sho thought It tho sumo one.
Later, when nnother neighbor arrived, they
both led Jessie Morrison out of the house.
Jessie wanted to go back for a letter that
she had left em tho floor near Mrs. CaBtle.
This letter, blood-stained, wns shown to the
witness and Identified by her. Tho letter,
nccordlng to tho prosecution, was taken
out of tho postoftlco by Miss Morrison on
tho morning of the murder and was handed
by fcer to tho murdered woi an, so sho
might havo an opportunity for attack as
Mrs. Castlo read It. Tho crosn-examlna-Hon
elicited nothiug new. In her redirect
examination Mrs. Moberly described Mrs.
Cnello's expression n3 sho lay upon tho
floor. "Her face wns all drawn, her eyes
had a wild expression in them and her
lips were drawn from her teeth," said tho
witness. Sho told of Mrs. Castle, unable
to speak, writing n note. Thore was a
fight over tho admission of tho note, which
read: "Jessie Morrlaon killed mo," Mrs.
Cnstlo afterward wroto a longer state
ment. "Get (XT Mo, JeKNlr Mot-rUon."
Mrs. Emma Spanglor, another neighbor
ot tho Castles, testified to hearing screams
from tho Castlo homo and hearing a voice
say: "Get off me, Jessie Morrlaon; you
nix killing me." Tho houso was locked
and she looked through tho window. MIsb
Morrison Ktood over tho prostrate woman
with her hands near Mrs. Castle'a head.
Jiasle saw witness nt tho window find
straightened up. "I can show you how
Jexsle Morrison moved," Bald tho witness,
and Mrs. Spangler, getting upon her knres
on tho Moor beforo tho Juty, dramatically
depicted Jessie Morrison placing hor hands
at tho throat of tho other woman, then
raising her head and dropping her hands
at her sldo. When Jessie arose, witness
snid, her hands woro nenr Mrs. Castle's
knees (Tho rnzor wan found oa Mrs.
Castlo's body near tho knees.) When Mrfl.
Spangler entered tho room Miss Morrison
had exclaimed: "I havo killed Mrs, Castlo
I cut her threat all to pieces with n rnzor.'
Witness then told at lending MIhs Morrison
frcm tho houso, of her going back for tho
lottor, of her trying to hldo something
dark that sho had In her hand and of trying
to run awny from Mrs. Moborly and tho
witness.
Upon cross-examination tho attorneys
for the defenso quoted from tho testimony
given at tho preliminary examination by
Mrs. Spangler. for tho purpeso of eoiifna
Ing her. but It did not havo that elfcct-
Her testimony today wan a corroboration
of her evidence at tho preliminary hearing.
Dr. M. I. Fullenwidcr, who dressed Mrs
Castle's wounds uud attended her until

LONDON, Nov. 30. Nothing in regard to
the United States battleship Kentucky is
coming direct from Smyrna. The authori
ties thero arc evidently censoring all dis
patches. CONSTANTINOPLE, Thursday, Nov. 2fl.
Tho opinion Is expressed in diplomatic
circles that tho American claims arising
ficm the Armenian massacres "may now bo
regarded na practically Kottlod, as an Irailo
providing for tho building of a cruiser in
the United StntoB Is oillelally promulgated. "
The question of the consulate at Harpoot
remains open, tho porto persisting In ltn
lefusal to Brant au exequatur to Dr.
Thomas 11. Norton. Tho moral effect,
however, created by tho presence of tho
United Stntt-H battleship Kentucky at
SiM rnn in support of tho representations of
tho American legation, taken In conjunction
with the settlement of tho other clnlms.
lends tho legation to hopo for nn onrly
arrangement of all outstanding differences.
I.U.MJON, Nov. 30. A Router dispatch
from Constantinople says It Is suggested
that Russia is promptlug tho porto to rofuso
to grant un exequatur to Dr. Norton. Tho
dispatch adds: "It is nn open secret that
they dislike tho foreign consuls In Asia
Minor, especially tho Americans, whom they
suspect of nldlng tho American mission

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30. No proposition
line como to tho United States government
from Turkey looking to tho payment of tho
mlt.slonary clnlms under tho gulso of nn
order for a war uhlp to bo built In tho
United States. Whllo It Ib hardly expected
that nny formal proposition of this kind
will bo forthcoming, It Is, of course, beyond
tno power of tho Stato department to pre
vent or Interfere with any arrangement
that tho Turkish government inny enter Into
with Amerlcun shipbuilders nnd Individual
claimants. Tho point is, after nil, to hnvo
tho claluiB paid and tho Stato department
ofllclnls aro not pnrtlaulnr ns to tho form
In which the payments nro pnld. Perhann
they aro Indifferent In this respect because,
of kniwl-dgr of tic fnct that thu Turkish
government might bo terribly embarrassed
by the pressure of European creditors woro
the United States government to Insist
upon certain forms of procedure In this
case.
Thero aro no developments In the nego
