Both Cap tnln Taggart nnd his wlfo faced the second day of tholr divorco trial with composure, despite tho bitter arraign ment nnd denunciations of tho opening arguments of tho nttoraoys on each side. "What I most regret," said Taggort, "is that tbo names of fellow officers must bo brought in. Thoro nre. somo who betrayed my friendship arid hospitnlily, but there aro others inno cent of wrong. My wlfo lias brought nil this upon horself. Sho must suffer ns I bavo." Taggart and his wlfo af foct not to notice each other's presence in tbo room. Howard Taggard, of Baltimore, brother of tho captain, testified to the doings at Fort Thomas, while his broth er was away nt tho riflo rango. One night tho witness was up lute, and saw a light In tho front hall, no saw Lieu ton,ant Boythor open tho door of the parlor, without knocking, and tip-too In. Ten minutes Inter Mrs. Taggart enmo out of tho parlor, saw him, and askod him what he was doing. Ha said ho wns getting a drink of Ice water, and ntt ho started for tho Ico box ho saw Reyther como out of tho parlor. A wook lator Mrs. Taggart handed the witness an anonymous letter, addressed to Taggart, warning him to watch hlr wife, as Reyther once had taken Mrs Taggart to a hotel in Newport. The witnoss said Mrs. Taggart drank whisky strnlght, and gave beer to tho oldest boy, desplto tho rcmonstrations of Tag gnrt. Tlio officers and their wives had a social club at Fort Thomas. During tho second yoar of Its existence Mrs Taggart told him sho was pot invited and that two others wore also left out Taggart told her they wero three of n kind. Reciting events nt the Matanras Club, tho witness said ono day ho no ticed a cut ore Mrs. Taggart 's face, and was told sho received it as the result of a drinking bout with officers in a sa loon, by falling against a dresser on hor roturn home.

Tho 'apparent ucci8ion ot Cnnnda to got along with out this country lb Its trado relatione, building up its own Industries, points In tho snmo direction. Tho thrcatonod Chlneso boycott of Amorlenn goods is occasioning somo disquietude. Efforts nro bolng mhd'o to adjust tho threat ened difficulties by diplomacy, but It Is probablo that tho success of such notion will dopo'nd on tho co-operaUon of congress. Tho prospoct of success of any leg Islatlon affecting tho tariff may obvb ously bo influenced by tho railroad rnto situation. It would bo natural for tho "stand patters" on both ques tions to unlto forces In favor of let. ting things alone. The fight will como from the senate. Its leaders aro ap parently determined, whatever elso may bo dono in railroad legislation', that there will bo no transfer of rnto- making power from tho hands 6f tb owners bf rnilrond properties to riny public agency nnd, of courso, tho pow er to supervise, or adjust, rates lrm plies this. The senators who hold this vlow may nbt bo In a numerical ma jority, nnd bonce tho possibility of their ncoding nn alliance with tho op ponents of tho tariff changes. That tbby can control tho sennto admits lit tlo question. Will Let Japan Off Without cost, it sue will ,,Holler" EnoiifcTf St. Petersburg, Aug. 3.
