The Defense Making Poor Headway
With Its Evidence
Sioux City, la., Nov. 2G. Another
elay or testimony taken for the defense
in the Arensdorf case brought several
very important witnesses to the stand.

and defendants, were examined.
One of the witnesses testified that Bismark
elid the shooting, others that Leavitt tlid
it. One that the assassin appremcheel Mr.
Haddock from the rear. There is an ap
parent lack of harmony or agreement
among the witnesses for the defense in
both particulars and detail. It is
thought the defense will rest about Mon
elay night, and that the case will reach
the jury some time next week. The sen
sational testimony promiseel by the attor
neys for the defense has not been iutro
eluccd as yet.

church building in the northern part of

the heaters in the basement to the wood
work, and he whole structure was soon
doomed. Loss about $35,000; insurance,
$15,000. The walls are standing. A
sigular fact in connection is that a yeai
ago to-elay three large elevators barned.

the oil sheets of the Standard Oil com

Washington, Nov. 28. The report of
he third assistant postmaster general for
he last fical year shows that the total of
the ordinanary postal revenue of the yeai
vas 48,118,273; the revenue from the
money oreler business was $7,193,336;
total reyenue, $48,837,600. The total
expenditures for the the year, including
the actual and estimated outstanding
liabilities were $53,133,2.12; defirit in
revenue, $4,395,642. In addition to this
there was certified to the secretary of the
treasury for the credit of the Pacific rail
road companies $1,287,097, earned by
arrying mails; total exce-ss of cost of the
jostal service over revenue, $5,482,670
fhe receipts of the year were 1 1 per cent
greater than the previous year, while th.
increase ef expenditures was at a ratio ol
ut 3 to 4 per cent.
The special delivery system has mael
considerable atlvance during the year.
fhe total value of all stamped pnper is- ,
sued by the elepartment during the year i
was $46,619,6S0, an increase of nearly 7
per cent.
The postage collected on second class1
natter was $1,202,348, representing a
weight of over 63,000 tons, an increase
)f 15 per cent over the previous year.
Three important recommendations ar
nade. The first of these is that the pos
tge on all seconel class matter shall be
paid by the attachment of adhesive
stamps as is required for all other mail
matter. The second is that only legiti
mate new. papers and periodicals be ad
mitted to th second class rate. In other
words t jat certain 1 ooks, which it is
claimed arc in no sense periodicals except
that they profess to be issued at regular
periods, be admitteel only at third class
rates. The third is that the number of
sample cop"es of se?on I class matter to
be sent out by publishers be limited;
many periodicals which, under the law,
now gain admittance as Becond class mat
ter be"ng enab'cd by the i-ririleges of
mailing sample corie, to defeat the law
including publications issued for adver
tising purposes, or at nominal prices of
su&criptidn.
ABVISED TO WITHDRAW.
The Fates of Charles I and Louis
XVI a Warning to Crovey.
Pakis (via Havre), Nov, 28.--Yesterday's
European Herald has the follow
ing editorial: It is none of our business,
as we are strangers here, but we trust
that a few remarks on our part will not
beconsitlcrcd impertinent. To-day, how
ever or tho next elay French public
opinion, through its authorized mouth
piece, will be Calleel upon to decide on
certain grave questions, and the cjuestions
are "Gr.evey" and "The Constitution."
Grevey stands upon a constitution
evolveel from out of his own inner con
sciousness. A Frenchman, or a reason
able foreigner, having a feeling of frienel
ehip toward the laws of this country,
woulel stand upon the recognized consti
tution of the land accoreling to its sjjiiit
rather than according to its tcchnicalith s.
History may prove Greyey to have been
right, but according to public opinion he
is wrong. Charles I according to the law
of England, up to the elate of his trial,
was right. His execution proved that
Jie was wrong. Again Louis XVI was
kiug of France anel the representative of
eyery Frenchman, until Frenchmen en
forced a contrary decision by cutting off
his head. SI. Grevey's position is not
unlike that of these monarchs. To-elay
he is president of the French republic,
anel all we ask of l.im, as a stranger, is
to retire before the hot-headed populance
invaeling the streets, armeel with guns
aud erecting barricades, senel him to fol
low Charles I anel Louis XVI.

Persecuted for Their Belief.
Quebec, Nov. 2S. The salvation army
has be-en threatened by theFrenah inhab
itants of the city for Rome t'me back with
assault and even murder if they atte'tnpted
to paraele the streets. They had arrangeel
to have a parade at 8 o'clock last night
anel about 10,000 people gathered near
their barracks to witness or take part in
the affair. A squad of police were
brought to the scene and drawn up be
fore the barracks. The police were hoot
ed, hisseel and threatened by the crowd.
Later the police were ordered to St. John
street, where a battle was in progress.
The crowd at the barracks, thinking the
police had returned to their station, were
on the point of attacking the Salvation
ists, when Capt. Yosl and his policemen
returneil. No further elemonstration was
made until 9:30 when four of the French
members of the army appeared on the
street. They were followed by some of
the mob, who hooted, but were prevented
from attacking them by the police.
W.nn the army failed to appear on the
streets the mob stonueel the barracks and
in-iny of them were severely clubbed by
the police. They were finally eiispersed.
Trouble is feaieel from the French if the
army attempts to parade ag-iin.
Baptist Goodie.
Boston, Nov. 2S. At last Sunday
evening's prayer-meeting of the Baptist
church in Sterling, Mass., L. E. Trussell.
a young man, the treasurer of the church
and prominent in religious work, rose
aud requested special prayer for himself.
His request was complied with, and he
express-eel himself as being much refreshed
spiritually. The next day he disappeared
and took in with l.im every dollar of the
funds of the church. The books of the
society also vanished, and no means are
obtainable by which to ascertain the
church's financial standing. The pastor
has not received a dollar of s'dary since
June, iind nothing is on hand to relieve
his neccessity. Tiussell was very popu
lar with the tair sex and the- absence of a
oung lady memiot r of the church is
noted. There is no way of ascertaining
the young man's exact dealings but by a
house-to-house canvass of the paris-h and
an aldition of the sums subscribed by
each. Trussell hatl been married and it
is believed his wife is living, though de
serted by him. No doubt of the sinceri
ty and piety of the young treasurer had
ever entered the minds of the church
members, and his treachery has fallen
like a thunderbolt on this typically
straight-laced Massachusetts town.
