Captain Edward Williams, the former manager of the Masonic Temple, who returned to the city yesterday after having been three weeks -In hiding, following his conviction In the Masonic Temple tax scandal, took the stand today as a witness for the state in the trial of President James H. Gorm ley for conspiracy. He testified that he had entered Into an arrangement with Luke Wheeler and a man named Storm, presuming them to represent the County Treasurer's office, to secure a receipt in full for the Temple taxes, amounting to 526.770, for $20,000, and that he had done so with the full knowledge and consent of President Gormley. and of Director Rush, of the Masonic Fraternity Temple Association, then Its secretary and treas urer. "I said to Mr. Gormley." asserted "Will iams, "that the County Treasurer's office had offered to give me a receipt In full for the taxes for ?20.000. Mr. Gormley asked if I had said anything to Dr. Rush, and If I had not, to speak to him. "I conferred with Dr. Rush on the lGth or 17th of April, and went immediately to see about the details. He wanted to know how it could be done, and .asked: What does Gormley say?' I said: I don't know. I first want to know if you. as treasurer, wish me to do this. I said it was a very general practice to fix taxes for reduction. Do you want this done?' He said 'Yes.' The matter was then thoroughly discussed with Gormley. Gormley asked if there was enough money In the treasury to pay the taxes, and said if not to borrow some." Williams then testified that he had nothing to do with the drawing of the money for the ?20.KX) check. It was glvon to him a day; or two after the conversa tion detailed above, and he paid it over to liuke Wheeler, and received the tax recr-int in exchange. The payment, he said, was made In his office in the Ma sonic Temple. He was not satisfied, he said, with Wheeler's explanation of his ability to secure the receipt for that amount, and Wheeler agreed to bring one of the prinrlpal officers of the County Treasurer's office over. Ho appeared liter with a man whom he Introduced as Mr. Storm, who said he was authorized to make the arrangement, and that it was done by rearranging the personal propcrtv taxes. Peter Storm, who is presumed to be thr man In question, was an employe of the County Treasurer's office at that time, Tout has since committed suicide. JOHN 31'GEAR.Y'S TRIAL. Testimony Appears to Show That He Killed John Evans. BUTTE. Mont. Nov. 19. The first wit ness in the trial of John McGeary for the murder of John. M. Evano, of the Washoe smelter, in July last, was Archie Jette, who is a foreman at the Washoe Fmcltcr, where tho shooting of Mr. Evans occurred. He testified that he was about 150 feet away when thc shot was fired, and that as he turned he saw Mr. Evans fall. He identified the prisoner as the man who had done the shooting. Emerson was the next witness called, who stated that he was in the basement when the shots were fired, but reached a window in time to witness the defendant holding a gun over the body of the de ceased. Emerson's story was damaging. He gave a graphic description of the pur suit of McGeary and of his subsequent capture. John O'Maca. who fired the shot that brought McjGeary to bay, also testified as to the capture. J. H. MacMIllan, a newspaper man, gave the account of an Interview with the prisoner immediately after his cap ture. According to the testimony of Mac MIllan, McGeary admitted verbally of having done the shooting. Evans' dying statement was admitted as evidence In the case. ANACONDA. Mont-, Nov. 19. When the state rested its case In the Third District Court this afternoon, wherein John Mc Geary is being tried for killing William G. Evans, Judge Wfne3. of counsel for the defense, startled the court, jurors and spectators alike by calling "John Mc Geary" to take the stand In his own be half. The defense, as now outlined, is to be insanity, so that, when the defendant began his answers, it was'supposed some strange happenings would occur, and they did. McGeary testified that he was born in Ireland. 25 years ago. and came to St. Louis at the age of 2 years. He remem bered the names of schoolmates, of his teachers, and of many with whom he worked, but, on cross-examination. Mc Geary knew little of his removal to An aconda, and he declared he knew nothing whatever of meeting Mr. Evans on the day of the tragedy and of killing him. He failed to remember all connection with that day, except the fact that he had had an Interview -with Under Sheriff Morgan and J. H. MacMIllan, city ciditor of the Anaconda Standard. The most rigid prpss-examinatipn failed to elicit any Information from McGeary. except that, if he did shoot Evans, he had done so because that Anaconda company offi cial had refused to adopt his so-called im provement. In answer to questions re garding his various inventions, McGeary testified that he had an invention all mapped out in his mind which would fur bish .a perpetual motion motor. TltAIXROBIIER GANG.

' Revolutionists Hope to Receive Aid From the Government of Colom biaInternal Politics. WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao, Nov. 19: President Castro, ot Venezuela, is energetically pushing operation to prevent the revolutionists in that repub lic from .recovering from the effect of their dissensions and the flight of Gen eral Santos. "One of the objects of Matos departure. It Is reported, is to make an attempt to induce the Colombian govern ment, which la notoriously unfriendly to President Castro, to send arms and am munition to his men. Matos also relies on his wealthy friends on this Island, with whom he Is conferring, though sick. These-, persons have already contributed money in support of the "V cnezuelan revo- lution but under the belief that Prcsi- .iA A, . ,j i i I Consequently Inadequate preparations ! were made, and hence the present condi- e cx-jrrcsiaeni aru s-ione-.. nev-.s-t!on of the revolutionists. PaPer offices. Troops charged the rioters. Matos future plans are kept secret. Though his estates in Venezuela have been confiscated, he still has money, and can, if he chooses, continue the contest either personally or with General Ro lando and Luciano Mendoza, who are ftlll In the field. The general opinion in well-informed circles, however. Is that Matos' aspirations to the Presidency of Venezuela are 'absolutely ended. General Rolando is a member of thc 'Mocho party, and it 1 reported that if he can obtain ammunition he will sup port General Joseph M. Hernandez, known as El Mocho (the maimed), who is sick and who hati been confined in chains for two years past' in. the Castle of Mara calbo. General Rolando is now thc strongest leader of the revolutionists. He commands 900 men and can draw around him about 4000. But, though it lg cur rently reported that he has 600,000 rounds of ammunition. It is said he has not more than 150.030 rounds. Thc General Is now at Leeama awaiting additional ammuni tion, and President Caatro is concentrat ing his troops on that place. The whereabouts of General Mendoza Is unknown, though the Venezuelan govern ment officials are making diligent search for him. He Is believed to be in the western part of the country and to have with him only his staff, but he Is able to gather some men around him. The enmity existing between General Men doza and General Rola'udo is alleged to be responsible- for the defeat of the revo lutionists at La Victoria. It is said that the former is jealous of General Rolando, whose troops are bearing the brunt of the fighting. Generals Ricra and Solag nle have also disappeared, but there still exists in the country numerous bands of guerrillas, who. formidable one day, disappear the next on the approach of government troops. President Castro In quoted as saying: "I have the situation well in hand, and shall vigorously pursue 'my advantage." Since the battle of La Victoria the gov ernment troops have occupied Coro and Cumana. and they are preparing im mediately to attack Barcelona, where the revolutionary General, Pablo Guzman, is stationed with 1000 men. They will then march on Ciudad Bolivar, which is held by General Ferrcra with 400 men. Barce lona will be probably the last place along the coast to resist, as General Ferrera is expected to make an attempt to escape abroad on the approach of the govern ment forces. When these points have beentaken President Castro will domi nate all the customs seaport's, which he purposes to declare free Immediately. President Castro's forces are thus dis posed: Three thousand menat Caracas, 1500 men at Coro, 1SO0 on the way to Barqulgimeto. 1200 at Carupano, 1100 at Los Andes, 7X) at HIguerote and smaller garrisons at the other important points. There Is a rumor that President Caotro'3 principal General, Baptiste, has demand ed the removal of General Tello Mendoza, Minister of Finance and Public Credit, and the dismissal of Dr. Torres, President Castro's secretary, but this report is dis credited, in view of General Baptlste's devotion to the President. Meanwhile the Germans are preparing to collect their claims against Venezuela, and Germany has four warships In Vene zuelan waters. The German cruiser Ga zelle has proceeded to St. Thomas, and will return to La Guayra via Trinidad. The German Legation has4 received no in structions to press these claims, but it la understood that it has orders from Ber lin to collect the claims when Castro has fully re-established his power, The Legation and President Castro are now engaged In an ugly dispute regard ing the recent visit of the German gun boat Panther up the River Orinoco, which Is Increasing the tension between Vene zuela and Germany, It Is said positively from an authoritative German source that Ambassador Holleben some time, ago made a declaration to President Roose velt that Germany would not occupy any Venezuelan territory, and he observed tnat whatever action mlsrht be taken Germany waj not seeking any coaling sta- Uons In Venezuelan territory.

It is rumored that part of bis army, as an advance guard, is stationed in Chorera. under thc command of Gen eral Julio Plaza, and that General Herrera is also advancing with 5000 men.

General Herrera cannot expect to get much better terras than those offered by the government. ' Minister of War Fernandez yesterday cabled to General Pcrdomo that he had in readiness a balance of 20,000 men and the necessary pack mules for the campaign on the Isthmus. This Indicates the strength of the government's military resources. General Perdomo - is now awaiting only the result of today's conference between Gencral Herrera and the government com missioners before assuming the offensive. CRUISER PANTHER LEFT COLON.

New York Tribune. , A Japaness woman, at-the end of a year's visit here, gave a short talk to a group of friends the other day regarding the' differences between Americans and Japanese, as boys, youths and men ex plaining modestly, horwever, that she did not regard her observations aa anything more than generally Inclusive. But her hearers felt that thc contrast of condi tions In the two countries (although somewhat to the disfavor of her own peo ple) was fair and clear sighted. "In a Japanese home," the unwonted lecturer began, in her dainty, deprecating fanhion, "the parents welcome a girl as well as a boy; but when a boy is born the household jubilee and salutation are apt to be deeper and greater. One usually congratulates, 'Is it a boy? Well done!' So then from babyhood the Japanese boy, unlike the American, has a certain pre dominance over the girl. "As little children the Western and Eastern boys are both as restless, in quisitive, active and mischievous as can be.' However, their behavior toward sis ters and girl friends may be a little dif ferent. Even at this early period thc Idea of helping girls and protecting the weak may be. germinating in the American boy's mind, notwithstanding the frequent temptation to tyrannize over the les3 strong girls. The Japanese boy is tender toward his own sisters, his love toward them Is beautiful to see. But the common tendency toward thd other little glrl3 is to look down on them, tease them rather than help, keep from them rather than approach, because when he dares to be kind to them he must bear scorn 'and laughter from the other boys. "Such a boy grows to be a youth. What then? The difference between the Amer ican and Japanese, no .wonder, grows more and more. By this time the man ners of the American boy become re fined and gentlemanlike; he learns how to act before thc elders and women. On the contrary, the Japanese boy Is not half so much restrained about etiquette as the girl Is. Moreover, there was at one time a queer idea in fashion among thc Jap anese youths, namely, to despise any boy dressed In good order as a mean fel low, who thought only about his out ward appearance, and to consider the dirty face, torn coat, short sleeves and rough manners as signs of the true, no ble mind, so that the word 'student' used to represent everything riotous and untidy. In spUit they were harmless and studious; it was a mere peculiar concep tion of the time. Happily, this erroneous idea has already lost lt3 power, and now most of the students are more ra tional and polite. But at this period the outward relation between the brothers and sisters is no longer close, for they do not attend thc same schools;, their in terests change; they do not go out much together; the brother spends most of his time away from home; to his sister's friends he seldom appears, so that no matter how entertaining he is among his own friends he is dumb and out of place among the girls. What a contrast to the American boy! "College work being finished, next comes tho time for him to be a man an independent man. He must marry now. The American has already many acquaint ances among the girls; it is not hard for him to choose one for his wife. But poor Japanese boy! He has put off his rough ways and becomes a gentleman by this time, but where can he find the bride he likes? The few girls whom he know;, are either his cousins or his friends' sis ters, or his sisters' friends: even them he does not know very well. If he can find tho 'lifelong friend' among them it is for tunate for him. If not his parents or his older friends are the ones who take pains to choose the appropriate girl for him; so it Is not unusual for a Japanese man to be married to a girl whom he has nevr seen before. The marriage between the well-acquainted man and woman Is an event cf comparative rareness. How piti ful must the Japanese custom appear to the American eye! "The man now becomes the husband and the master of a house. The American home must almost, without exception, be a happy one, for it consists of loving and loved people. Thc Japanese home, though the way it is formed is so dif ferent, cannot be considered otherwiso than happy, since the union of husband and wife has been brought about by ex perienced and well-wishing parents cr friends. But at the same time, cold, sor- . rowful homes are no less frequent. The husband and the wife are the mutual helpers and comforters, just as in this country, but In one sense the husband is more of the ruler, and the wife is more " the one to obey. And the thing ! wh sti;LkcS CVe?" !e ut ward coldness of thc husband toward thc wife, In spite of his ofttlmcs deep love for her; especially before others, he assumes dignity and restricts tender words. "As a father he Is generally loving, which Is no remarkable contrast to the American father. The Japanese father is not so Indulgent as the softcr-hcarted mother: he commands certain dignity which calls forth both respect and love from his children. "His position as a grandfather alone remains to be described. Reverence to the aged and filial piety .to the parent being among the most important moral duties observed by the Japanese, his old age may be happier than that of the Amcrlcan grandfather. Though no lone? the master of the house, he still re ceives every comfort and luxury, sin cere love and respect from the sons and daughters and grandchildren. "On looking back, the main points that mark more or less distinctly the position of the Japanese man in his home as dif fering from that of the American are two first, that thc Japanese has more authority over the woman than the American, and. second, that the rightful relations between the Japanese man and woman do not yet exist." A Wonderful Wr.tcli. Tatler. One cf the mo3t wonderful watches in the world Is that owned and made by Major Dopplng-Hepenstal. of the Royal Engineers. It Is a comparatively' small watch, not much bigger than an ordinary lever, but it performs a variety of s-ervices in, addition to telling the time.
