The brigand whose execution caused the

made In many quarters to "thwart the pol

connection that he himself has been pur
sued by many Interenta "with a ferocity

Irishman of this generation."
When he finds that the policy which the

covered with opprobrium and derision by
a newspaper which la the only source of In

JEFFERSON CITT.I Mo., Nov. i. Ex-
Lleutenant Governor Lee resumed the stand
today In the trial of State Senator Frank
Farris, charged with boodllng, and told of
receiving a $1,000 check from Kavemeyer,
the sugar magnate, la 1902.
"Did you ask Kelley (the baking powder
lobbyist) to see Havemeyer and ask him to
contribute to your campaign fund?" was
asked of Mr. Lee.
"I think I did."
"Wasn't the tl.000 from ths Sugar trust
a contribution to your campaign fund?"
"It was not."
Mr. Lee, in answer to a question, said:
"The session of congress prior to July,
1902, was legislating regarding the duty on
raw sugar. I was running a grocers' paper.
I was endeavoring to get advertising for
my paper. I wrote letters to congressmen
and others, getting their opinions on the
reduction of 2 centa a pound on tha duty
on raw sugar. I put thetr letters In pam
phlet form and distributed them. The $1,000
check from Mr. Havemeyer was In payment
for this work."
Later Senator Farris assumed the stand
In his own defense. He positively denied
Mr. Lee's statement of yesterday In which
the latter had said that he had given Far
ris $7,000 for himself and the other mem
bers of the criminal Jurisprudence commit
tee to influence the action of the legisla
ture on the anti-alum bill.
"Did you ever say to Leo that the mem
bers of the committee demand $1,000
apiece?" was asked of Senator Farris.
"I did not," very positively. "I made no
proposition. I never had any conversation
with D. J. Kelley and did not know that
any such man existed."
"Did you ever tell Lee that tha boys
wanted something tangible?"
I did not."
'Did Mr. Lee bring to you $7,000, or any
other sum, and give it to you?"
"He did not. I received no money from
him."
"Did John A. Lea pay you any money
whatever for your vote or Influence In the
legislature?" - . .-
"He did not"
Senator Farris denied thai he had ever
met Kelley or that Mr. Lee had showed
him a telegram from Kelley regarding ths

BOSTON, Nov. 6. Increased alarm Is felt
In the Armenian settlement over tha as.
saaslnatlon- In Londrin of two members of
the old Huntschaklst - revolutionary .com
mittee. The most Interested of all the Ar

well knows worker In Ike old Huntschaklst
movement, - a graduate of Letpslc . univer
sity and a man whose loss' wuold be
greatly felt in the circle of those who seek
to free Armenia. '
Mr. Kureghlan said, in speaking of the
assassination:
There will be more yet They will never
rest until they have removed all of us of
the old Huntschaklst party. There were
six of those fellows, "Terrors" who Sailed
from New York to London three months
ago. There are five more of them scat
tered over Europe, iou win near irom
them. ,
LONDON. Noy. I The police have lo
cated the lodging place up to October 24

They are' satisfied that their enemies, the

Plurality aad Republicans Get
Most of tha District
Jndgtes.
Complete returns from Tuesday's election
have been received from seventy-one of the
ninety counties In the state. These coun
ties this year cast 1E8,97 votes for the
leading candidates for supretne Judge and
the counties yet to report have not, in all
probability cast to exceed 40,000 Votes. In
these seventy-ons counties Barnes, rep., or
supreme Judge, has a plurality of 1.029 over
Sullivan, fua. These same counties two
years ago gave the republican candidate
for supreme Judge a plurality of 10,944, the
remaining counties giving Bedgwlck, rep.,
1,975 plurality. Should the ratio be main
tained Barnes plurality would be ovdC
9,000. As the rural counties, which are the
ones yet to report, have shown a smaller
percentage of loss and In many Instances
a guln over two years ago, it Is probable
that Barnes' plurality will be between 9.G00
and 10,000.
Returns on regent have not been tabu
lated, but even a casual examination of
them shows that the regents will have a
larger plurality than the head of the ticket
In the contest for district Judges the
fuslonlsts havs not fared well, they hav

five In the state, according to their own
estimates, and several of these are much
In doubt, the returns being Incomplete.

Joined In the revolutionary movement and
almost every moment .telegrams are re
ceived from tho most Inportant men In
the Interior announcing their adhesion to

The revolution ha been practically
bloodless, as only two Chinamen were killed
during ths bombardment of th city by ths
government gunboat Bogota. Th firs ot
the warship unroofed th house, a shell
hit ths tower of th cathedral and another
Shell fell on tho house of Frederlo Boyd, a

The foreign consuls promptly sent a
communication to the commander of
Bogota protesting against his action In
opening fire on th city without proper
notification of hi Intentions to do so.
General Tovar Leaves Panama.

been convinced of the veelessnesa of their
resistance to th government and have ac
cepted' tha terms offered by tha Junta,
They will embark this afternoon for Colon
on an express train and will leave Imme
diately on the steamer Orinoco for Carta
gena.
The arrangement to this end waa made
through ths efforts of Commander Hubbard
of tho United States gunboat Nashville,
Superintendent Shaler and Assistant Su
perintendent Prescott of th Panama rail
road, who guarantee that both parties will
fulfill tho agreement.
There la great rejoicing all over tho city
because the stability of the republlo now
seems assured. Th fact that troop wr

decided General Tovar and his staff to ac
cept tha terms of th Junta.
