THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAN, PORTLAND, KOVEMKEB 10,. 1901. -ii THE PROSECUTION RESTS 23EFEIVSE JX CONSIDIKE MUHDEai TRIAI OPEXS TOMORROW. AboBt One Hundred "Witnesses Have Been ' Snbpenaed Case "Will Go to Jury in a Fevr Day. SEATTLE, Nov. 9. All the evidence tending to convlce John W. Consldlne o the murder of es-Chlef of Police Wil liam I. Meredith Is now before the Jury. Rebuttal may throw some new light on the testimony already heard, or may tend to offset portions of the mass of evi dence which the defense proposes to In troduce, but the main story of the fill ing of the ex-chlef of police, so far as as the prosecution Is concerned, has been told from the witness stand. Shortly after 4 o'clock this afternoon, the state rested. "What the defense expects to prove will be stated at the opening of court Monday. At the outset of the trial the defense had called by subpena 85 "Witnesses; so far during the trial several names have been added to the list, and between 80 and 109 witnesses are now expected to be In attendance In court Parhaps not all of these may be called Upon to testify, but at the best speed possible to be made In the examinations. It will take Ave or six days to hear the testimony of the defense. The case will probably go to the Jury Wednesday or Thursday. Expert testimony of physicians and surgeons was brought In by the prose cution in furtherance of the effort to show that Meredith had been rendered -unconscious by the blows struck upon his head with his own revolver by Tom Considine. and that he was unable to defend himself, much less to make a hos tile movement at the time John Consl dlne flred the shots, one of which Is ad mitted to have caused Meredith's death. Mrs. Meredith, the widow of the de ceased, was brought to the stand a few moments this afternoon. Few questions were asked her. Judge Arthur Griffin, of the Superior Court here, and H. M. Hammond, a West ern Union operator, were the two most important witnesses today. Judge Grif fin wits In Guy's drug store at the time of the killing of Meredith. His- story of the tragedy was as follows: "I Was In Guy's drug store at the time Meredith met his death. I had been there but a few minutes, when there Was a loud report at the doorway. At that mo ment, a man rushed In, whom I afterward learned to be John Considine, and crouch ing low, ran tfr the rear of the store. He Was . followed by Chief Meredith, who was running rapidly after him, and carry ing raised In his arms a shotgun. After the latter pursued Considine down the store, he flred the Second charge from the gun. Throwing it aside, he drew a re volver, and as he did so Considine grap pled with him About this time Tom Considine ran into the store. He grap pled with Meredith, and hi6 brother, John, fthd attempted to take the revolver from Meredith's hands, which were high in the air, and held up there by John. Tom finally secured the gun and struck Mere dith oxer the head with It -two or three times, John still holding Meredith. There were others in the room by this time, and they pulled Tom away. As the blows de scended upon Meredith's head he seemed to weaken. His kriees gave way and his head fell over. He was leaning against a showcase, apparently partially uncon scious. I heard a Veport, and then I heard a second one, and saw John Considine lire at Meredith. As he flred the second shot Meredith seemed to reel away from him and was falling to the floor. Stepping toward him, Considine-pressed his Te51 er against Meredith's body and flred the third arid last shot. I do not know how lohg the entire affray lasted. It might have been 40 seconds, perhaps more, per haps less." H. -M. Hammond testified that he was at the corner of Yesler Way and Second avenue, across the street from Guy's drug store, when his attention was attracted by the discharge of a gun. He Took it to be a pistol shot He looked across" the street, and saw a man with a gray Stilt of clothes run toward the store en trance of Guy's drug store. He saw a puff of smoke in frout of this man, but saw no revolver. He saw Meredith standing in front of the stdre, and Baw him run into the store after the mail with the light suit of clothes. He then heard two loud reports, followed a moment later by three sharp reports. Hammond's tes timony was the most Important offered by the state In Its effort to establish its sixth-shot theory. In the matter of the smoke, and the appearance of the-man with the light clothes, Hammond's testi mony 'is not corroborated by that of any Other witness. The witnesses who were Closest to the -shooting swear they only lieard Ave shots, rather upsetting the State's sixth-shot theory. Witnesses for the state have also sworn that Meredith made a. movement with his right hand toward his right coat pocket, In which there was a revolver. Just as Considine shot him.- SSioOTH GAME OF A PRISONER. Made. Himself Sick, Got Ont of Jail, and Then Escaped From Hospital. VTAIAjA. WALIiA, Wash., Nov. 9. Fri day, Neal McKearr, a county prisoner do ing time, appeared with a red rash on his face and person, and complained of fever. County Physician Stiles pronounced Mc Kean a sufferer from scarlet fever. The prisoner was removed to St. Mary's Hos pital, and placed under guard. The other prisoners were removed to the city jail and the county Jail was fumigated. Much apprehension was felt over the condition of nearly a .score of United States pris oners, who had been confined with Mc Kean. Last night McKean stole the shoes of his sleeping guard, and escaped ftom the hospital in his underclothing and a. blanket. This morning one of the United States prisoners in the city Jail exhibited the same symptoms displayed by McKean. Health Officer Alban pro nounced the case one of simulation. The prisoner confessed that McKean and him self had produced their symptoms by rubbing their" faces and persons with a mixture of kerosene and black pepper. McKean is still at large. "SCABS" AND UNIOJT MEX CLASH. One Man Was Shot, and Fntnre Trou ble Is Imminent. NORTHPORT, Wash., Nov. S. Ed Ken nedy, formerly a blast foreman at the smelter here, was seriously wounded In a desperate battle between union men and Joplln smelter men. The nonunion men were in a saloon, drinking, when Ken nedy came in. He had been drinking, and was singing a song which referred to "scabs." There were a number of other union men in the room, and an altercation arose. Finally, the Joplln men threw off their coats, and said they were ready for business. In the melee a number of shots were flred. The fighters went out doors, and the bartender says the last man to pass through the door fired at another man ahead of him. Kennedy was picked up in the alley, suffering from a gunshot wound In the back. The man who did the shooting escaped In the darkness. Officers have gone to the Bmolter grounds to search for him. Ex citement is intense, and it is feared that a more serious collision may follow. XOYES ON THE STAND. He Does Not Believe McKenrle Said "Wlint Hnmc Said He Did. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 9. Arthur H. Noyes, Judge of the United States Dis trict Court at Nome, and one of the respondents in the Nome contempt pro ceedings, was a witness today before United State? Commissioner Seacock. He TH& 9& the stand fpr abput an hour fcr direct exrmtnation. In reference to his appointment as United States Judge for Alaska-, Judge Noyes testified that h had the Indorsement of Senators Cush man K. Davis, Hansbrough, McComber and Spooner, and leading citizens of Wis consin and Minnesota. Asked if he believed the statement of Attorney Hume that McKenzIc tpld him he spent $50,000 in -having the witness appointed Judge and that he paid his1 railroad and steamship fare to Nome, Noyes said he did not think McKenzIc made such a statement Noyes never traveled a mile at McKenzle's expense, and McKenzie never spent a .dollar, so far as he knew, in securing his appoint ment as Judge In Alaska. Judge Noyes told of meeting McKenzie In Seattle a day or two after his arrival. He knew McKenzIc had business In Alaska, as he was Interested In a patent pumping ma chine intended to pump gold cut of Behrlng Sea. Asked as to when be first met Robert Chlpps, who was a witness In the Dud ley Dubose case, and gave some damag ing testimony against Noyes and McKen zie, the witness said in Washington Chipps was Introduced to him as- a min ing man of Alaska. He also saw Chlpps In Seattle before his departue for Nome. The witness then went into the history of his arrival at Nome. Every one had a grievance, and neary every one had or soon would file a suit over mining claims. When ad journment was taken, Judge Noyes had not reached the matters at issue In the present proceedings. NEW OREGON CORPORATIONS. Articles Filed at Salem During tbe Week Just Closed.

His Letter to a Leairnei Which Asked His So-pport for the Proposed Reciprocity Measure. HILLSBORO, Or., Nov. 9. Representa tive Tongue recently received from the secretary of the National Business League a set of resolutions favoring the ratifica tion of .the proposed reciprocity treaty be tween this country and France, and ask ing Mr. Tongue's support. Today, Mr. Tongue sent a reply as follows: Mr. Austin A. Burnham, Secretary Na tional Business League, Chicago, 111. Dear Sir: 1 am Just in receipt of yours of the 1st inst., enclosing a copy of reso lutions adopted by the executive commit tee of your league, favoring the ratifica tion of the proposed reciprocity treaty be tween the United States and France, and now pending before the Senate of the United States, and asking me to give your committee assurance of support. Waiving all discussion of the general principle of reciprocity, permit me to say that the treaty negotiated between Hon. John A. Kasson, on behalf of the United States, and Ambassador Cambon, on be half of France, on the 24th of July, JS99, does not contain such reciprocity as meets with my approval, and will not have my support. ' In that treaty the United States grants definitely and distinctly a reduction of 6 to 20 per cent of existing duties upon a very 1 large number of manufactured and agricultural goods coming from France and Algeria to the United States. Further than this the United States alsd agrees that should a lower late of duty be grant ed to any other nation, upon any of the articles included In that convention, no matter what concessions may be made by such nations to us for the reduction, sim ilar reductions are to be made at once in favor of France and Alneria. In return for this France concedes nothing, except a limitation upon her rignt to declare a tariff war ugains-t the United States, .and even to that, there is a very large reserva tion. In article 1 France agrees that the prod ucts of the United States are to be ad mitted into France and Algeria upon the payment of the minimum rates of duty Imposed upon like articles of any other nation. Or, In other words, that she will deal with the United States fairly and without discrimination. But even that Is not without exception. She reserves the right .0 impose discriminating duties to an unlimited extent, upon quite a large number of manufactured and agricultural produts from the United States. In this treaty the United States grants favors to France. France, on the other hand, sim ply agrees that she will not discriminate against us, except upon the importation into France of horses, butter, cheese, boots, shoe& and a large number of other articles. This is not reciprocity. It is not a fair agreement. It ought not to be ratified. I note jour dread of a tariff war with France. It seems to me this is wholly unwarranted. We have not discriminated against France We have not treated her or her subjects, or bcr products, in an unfriendly way. We have imposed no duties upon her products that are not Ira posed upon the products of every other country. Our tariff laws are designed to protect our own Industries, not to dis criminate against those of any other na tion. Franco has no right to take of-; fense. She will not take offense. Our pur chases from her exceed our sales to her $2,000,000 to $4,000,000 Der annum. There are lew of our importations from that country that could not be supplied from our own resources, or dispensed with, without in convenience. Under such circumstances there la little danger of a tariff war from which we should not be the greatest suf ferers. I have tbe honor to remain, truly and sincerely yours, THOMAS H. TONGUE. HOUE3 FRG3I BUFALO. Fred R. Mellls Discusses the Expo sition in General. BAKER CIT1, Nov. 9. Fred R. Mellls, who had charge of the Oregon Mineral exhibit at the Pan-American Exposition, has returned to this city after an absence ot almost six months. Mr. Mellls speaks In the highest terms of the exposition in general, and of the Ore gon exhibit in particular. He says tne same amount of advertising could not have been obtained for $200,000 in any oth er way and It only cost $17,500. as there Is a remainder of $2500 of the state appropri ation wii.ch will be added to the $5,000 ap propriated for the Charleston exposition. He reports that Oregon secured 14 gold medals and 30 sliver medals, besides a large number of diplomas and certificates of honorable mention. The Oregon min eral exhibit was by far the best at the fair, and attracted a great deal of at tention. Of the four silver medals award ed to the Pacific Coast States, Oregon re ceived two. There were no gold medals awarded for minerals. Speaking of the exposition as a whole, Mr. Mellls, said it was a success in every way except financially, and, in his opin ion, there was no necessity for it falling short in that particular, but on the con trary there should have been a surplus. The buildings cost four times as much as they should have, and the grafter was too much in evidence. TO GET MONEY ON WAR CLAIM. Governor Gcer Is Co-Operatingr With the Executive of Michigan. SALEM, Nov. 9. Governor Geer is co operating with Governor Bliss, of Michi gan, to collect Interest on money advanced by states to raise and equip volunteer troops during the Civil War. Oregon has a claim of $143,817 S7, and Michigan has a similar claim, and there are about six other states having claims of tome char acter, all of which have been disallowed. It appears that the act of Congress un der which they were filed maks no pro vision for their payment, examination or settlement. With this ruling of the Treasury Department, the State of New York was not satisfied and the matter was referred to the Court of Claims. This tribunal allowed a part and disallowed a portion of the claim, and both the United States and the State of New York ap pealed to the Supreme Court of the Unit ed States. The decision ot this court amounts to an emphatic and positive, dec laration that it is the duty of the United States to reimburse the stale to the amount of interest expended by them in borrowing money to help preserve tbe Union. , It te believed thnt under this decision Gurad f Piles Mrs. D. E. Reed, of Albany, says: "1 woufd not take $500 and be placed back where I was before I used the PyramiG Pile-Cure; I suffered -ior-years and It Is now IS months since I used It and not the slightest trace of the trouble has re turned."

Wrh. ifcz- -fr- A Daily Nuisance A Simple Remedy Which "Will In terest Catarrh Sufferers. In its earlier stages catarrh is more of a nuisance than a menace to the general health, but sooner or later the disease ex- tends to the throat, bronchial tubes, and even to the stomach and intestines. Catarrh Is essentially a disease of tbe mucous membrane, the local symptoms being a profuse discharge of mucus, stoppage of the nostrils, irritation in throat, causing coughing, sneezing' gag ging and frequent clearings of the throat and head. The usual treatment by local douches, snuffs, Halves, etc., often gives tempo rary relief, but anything like a cure can only be obtained by a treatment which re moves the catarrhal taint from the blood and the disappearance of the inflammation from the mucous surfaces. A new remedy which meets these re quirements and which so far has been remarkably successful in curing catarrh is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. These tablets act upon the blood and mucous membranes only. They can hard ly be called a secret patent medicine, as they are composed of such valuable rem edies as sanguinarla, hydrastln, eucalyp tol and similar cleansing antiseptics, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous surfaces the catarrhal poison. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant tasting lozenges taken internal ly, allowing them to dissolve slowly in the mouth. In this way they reach the throat, fauces and the entire alimentary canal. If desired, they may also be dissolved in water and used as a douche, in ad dition to the Internal use. but it is not at all necessary to use a douche; a few of them dissolved in the mouth dally will be sufficient. However, when there Is much stoppage of the nose, a douche made from these tablets will give Immediate re lief, but the regular daily use internally of these tablets will cure the whole ca tarrhal trouble without resorting to the Inconvenience of a douche. Dr. Bement states "that the internal treatment for catarrh is rapidly taking the place of the old plan of douching, and local application, and further says that probably the best and certainly the safest remedy at present on the market is Stu. art's Catarrh Tablets, as no secret Is made of their composition, and all the really efficient remedies for catarrh are contained In this tablet." Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at 50 cents for full-sized packages. Ask your druggist and If he Is hones't he will tell you there is no safer, more palatable, more efficient and convenient remedy on the market. about eight of the states besides Oregon are tntitled to sums paid by them. The Governor of the State of New York ad vises that his state has been paid in full, but the accounting officials of the Treas ury department hold that in spite of the New York decision, -they are unable to allow claims of other states, though they are on precisely the same footing as New xorK. xne merits or tne claims are ad mitted, but it is a rule of the department that the accounting officials are not to re-open accounts that haver been closed except for mistakes of fact or newly dis covered evidence. Governor Geer ahd Governor Bliss pro- pose to have the matter brought up ni Congress. . Salem Creamery Moved. SALEM, Nov. 9.
