She admitted she took some of Jordan, the "yarb" man's, reme dies on the train and that she was ill before she reached home. Typhoid fever developed In four days after her arrival in Independence. Cistern Water Maligned. Sarah Swope, who is but '14 years old, was on the stand only a few minutes and was asked only one question by the de fense.

"You had some medicine this Negro doctor gave you, didn't you?" asked Mr. Walsh. Negro's Medicine Taken. '"No, sir: I had some medicine Dr. Jor dan, the South American, gave me," she replied. "You took six of this man's pellets while you were on the train, didn't you?" "Yes, sir." "You carried his medicine to Europe with you and took It, didn't you?" "I did carry four kinds of it with me on my trip to Europe In June, 1900."

'Miss Swope said Jordan did not exam ine her when she needed medicine. Her mother purchased the remedies by num ber, she said.

"I don"t remember," she testified. Grand Jury Notes to Be Probed. If Judge Latshaw had known last week as much about the disappear ance of the grand Jury notes which fell Into the hands of Dr. Hyde's coun sel last Wednesday, as he does now,' three persons would have been ordered arrested by him. Furthermore, he believes if he had been notified of the loss of the papers as soon as they were missed they never would have got into the hands of the defendant's attorneys. These two statements he made today. But now that events have transpired as they have, and he was left so long in the dark about the matter, the court is going to put it up to Prosecutor Conkling to take some action. "I have told all 1 k,now about the case to the prosecutor. He can do whatever he likes," said the judge. In the meantime Prosecutor Conkling Is still investigating. He has asked the local bar association to help solve the mystery and offered to resign if it can be shown that he is in any way to blame for the loss of the papers.

POSITION IS IN JEOPARDY Viceroy Who Is Said to Have De clined German Chancellorship , May Resign as Result of Let ter and Gift to Prisoner. BERLIN, April 26. (Special.) Only a few months ago. Count Carl von Wedel was the hottest favorite for the impend ing vacancy in the Chancellorship, if he did not actually, as is widely believed, decline the proffered honor of that office. Today, according to an intimation which bears the stamp of official origin, ho Is threatened with dismissal from the post of "Viceroy of Alsace-Lorraine. The circumstances which have led to this cri sis in his career are of a very remark able character. One of the most active and Intelligent leaders of the French party in the con quered provinces Is the Abbe Wetterle. who edits the Journal de Colmar, and represents one of the Alsatian constitu encies in the Reichstag.. Not long ago, in the course of a political campaign in his paper, he transgressed beyond what the courts held to- be legitimate criti cism of one of his opponents, and was sentenced to two months' Imprisonment for libel. During his incarceration he was regarded, and on his liberation ha was treated by his fellow partisans, as a martyr to the cause. It has now become known that a few days before Wetterle left Jail, . he re ceived a friendly letter, written in the French - language, together with gifts of a silver matchbox and an umbrella han dle from Countess von Wedel, wife of the Viceroy. This extraordinary Incident at first sight only seemed capable of a ro mantic explanation, and was at first generally disbelieved. Its accuracy, how ever, stands beyond question, though the motives underlying it are not of so tender a character as might have been supposed. It appears that It Is an amiable cus tom of the Countess to send to invite.l guests who are to attend the balls given at the Viceregal residence the cotillon gifts which would have become theirs had they been present. Now, political antagonisms are not so acute as to be a bar to social intercourse, and the abbe was expected among the guests at the last ball at the Palace. The mere fact that he was in prison for political libel did not seem to the Countess a sufficient reason for making him an exception to her rule, and he accordingly received th matchbox in his cell Needless to say, there Is a great up roar over this in the press, and a semi official scribe reports that "the resigna tion of the Stratthalter Is counted upon." He adds the detail that In authoritative circles "the action of the Countess Is regarded as absolutely -unintelligible, and the only mitigating circumstances that can be found for her are that she Is not German, but belongs to the old Scotch noble family of Hamilton, and was born In Sweden." the post tomorrow some time, while the other 60 will remain at the range and practice. Five companies, A, B, C, D and K, and the machine gun platoon will go to the range Friday morning, under Captain Jordan, First Infantry. They will begin the target practice for the season.

Third Conference Necessary. "I am proud to admit," continued Mr. Roosevelt, "that I am the first statesman to make an appeal to The) Hague court in a dispute between the United States and Mexico.
