The war department has recelv-d a report from C.-n nil ChuflYe of the Incident that oc curnd In IVkin In c-onnwtlon with hi tvprcneMatlona to Field Mondial Von W'al.U mer.

Waldersee, himself, did not reach I'ekln until long after the expeditionary force hud occupied the- town. It la recognised here officially that General Chaffee hud provocation for his deliverance, but regret la felt that he ud thla tone In ad lrvrnlng the field marshal. It Is significantly pointed, out here that perhaps It u nut lucumbcnt upon tJenerul Chuffte to make any rep resentations whatever on this subject to the ll Id marshul, as there Is no long er any olIU-lul tie between them. When the I'lilted Blntes goveninienl changed the character of Us military reprerien tatlon In I'ekln from an expedition, ary force to a mere legation guard, of course that guard no longer came under the control of the commander-ln-ihlef at IVkln. but wa almply a part of Minister Congtr'o official houachold.

Field Marshal Von vyaldersee re fused to receive It. returning the same to General Chaffee. The latter then wrote a second letter apologising for his objectionable expreaelona, whereup on Field Marshal Von Waldersee In vited General Chaffee to breukfoat and the Incident wag amicably closed."

The Berlin gov ernment has not taken otflclal notice of General Chaffee's letter to Count Von Waldersee complnlnlng of the removal of the astronomical Inmrumenta from the wall of IVkln and the return of the letter to the American commander, "on account of Its tone." Only a few papers print the Incident In their news columns. Th.j Vosslsch? Zeltung re marks; "Whatever the caue. General Chaffee had In no case a right to usj such rough language In a letter to the com mander-in-chief." The Berliner TagebKtt observe: "We must of course reserve a definite Judgment until rellab'e German reports have been received. Whoever knows, however, of tlw g-n 'rally acknowledged dlplomstlc tact of Count Von Walder ste will, not doubt that he would not have employed such n brustue pro cedure without th. strongest kind of provocation.''

The defendant fainted In her cell on Wednesday night, after a fit of sob bing, and cried much In the court room. It was feared that she would break down before her testimony was heard, but on the day the prisoner took the stand she displayed remarkable nerve and coolness. She recited the details of the terrible death struggle without hesita tion and underwent the rigid cross ex amination of the state's attorneys with out show of fer. Since then she has grown brighter and stronger as her hopcb of acquittal rose. Former Judge Morrison has been at his daughter's side constantly during the trial, which haa dally attracted great crowds.

U.-The fol lowing statement was given out by President Dolphin, of the Order of Railroud Telegraphers: "One reason why the men on the Atchison. Topeka ft Santa Fe Were ready and even anxious to espouse the causj of their brethren on the Gulf line was a deception practiced on the telegraphers' committee by Vice-Presi dent Barr In Chicago last June. "An agreement nad been effected be tween the railroad company and the operators' committee and' the latter went home wjth the promise that the agreement would be sent to Topeka for printing. When published the schedule had been changed so as to add one hour to the time of night tele graphers on the road. ' Mr. Barr said to me that he had made the alterations after the commit tee had left Chicago, slating as an ex cuse that he had misunderstood the ar ticle as it was originally written. 'The Gulf complain of having re ceived similar treatment at the hands of Mr. Barr, several rules bearing evi dence of material change of meaning after having been gone over In confer ence at Chicago. 'A late report from points along the lines says that notwithstanding the statements given out by the railroad ofllcials, there exists now a badly con gested state of affairs." HONEYMOON IN CRETE.
