New York, Dec. 15.—At the conclu sion o! the examination of Mrs. Young, widow of Caesar Young, who was call ed to the witness stand twice to-day, Assistant District Attorney Rand prac tically rested the case of the prosecu tion against Nan Patterson. Mr. Rand announced that he would call only two more witnesses, whose testimony would be comparatively unimportant. Mrs. Young took the stand and veri fied for the records her testimony of yesterday regarding the intercepted letter written to Young by Nan Pat terson’s sister, Julia Smith. Mrs. Smith in the letter asked Young to call and see her at once. She wrote, among other things: “I would like to get the whole thing straightened out because of Nan’s per turbed condition. I understand what is the matter. We will be home at noon to-morrow. Nan is about frantic. See me first and if you do not, I cannot answer for what may happen. You known how Nan loves you, and as she is now nearly wild her condition breaks my heart. I expect to see you as soon as possible.” Again in the afternoon Mrs. Young was recalled and told of the arrange ment for her proposed trip to Europe with Young. She said that after her husband had retired early in the morn ing of June 4, she seached his pockets and was certain that he had no re volver. She said also that he never carried a revolver. John Mellin, Young’s racing partner, was alsp a witness to-day. He told of efforts Young had made to break off his relations with Nan Patterson while in Los Angeles in March last. He said that he purchased a ticket for her and gave her SBOO of Young's money when it was decided that she should leave him. At the conclusion of to-day’s session of the court, counsel for Nan Patter son held a conference to decide wheth er to offer evidence in her defense, but their decision will not be announced until to-morrow. bids’on' warships. What It Will Cost to Build Battle ship nml Two Cruisers. Washington, Dec. 15. —Unprecedent- edly low bids were offered to-day for the construction of the battleship New Hampshire, and the armored cruisers Montana and North Carolina, pro posals for which were opened at the Navy Department at noon in the pres ence of representatives of shipbuilding companies from the Pacific and At lantic coasts. It Us probable that an official an nouncement will award the contract for the cruisers to the Newport News Shipbuilding Company for $3,575,000, each, and the battleship to the New York Shipbuilding Company for $3,748,- 000, those being the lowest bids offered, as not more than two ships can be awarded to one company. The lowest aggregate bids for these ships were exactly $1,377,000 less than the aggregate lowest bids for three sister ships a little over a year ago, a reduction of 11 per cent, in price. The Navy Department, while grati fied at the reduction, is unable to as sign any reason for it, except the fact that the shipbuilders are badly in need of work. The lowest bidder on two ships was the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, which offered to complete the two cruisers in thirty-six months at $3,575,000 each, or one cruiser and the battleship in thirty-six months at $3,650,000 each. On tlje battleship alone the compa ny’s bid was $3,650,000, to be completed in thirty-six months, and one armored cruiser $3,725,000, to be completed in tne same length of time. Wyoro News. Waycross, Ga„ Dec. 15.—W. H. Chancey, who was convicted yesterday for assault and battery, was to-day sentenced in the City Court to pay a fine of $l5O and costs or serve twelve months on the chalngang. Chancey has not yet raised the funds to pay his fine, and is in jail. Randall Brown, Jr., a young negro who some months ago was discharged from the mail carrier’s service in this city, was to-day convicted of assault and battery, but has not yet been sentenced. Brown was arrested some time ago for striking Mrs. McKenzie, an aged white woman, when she at tempted to collect a debt he owed her for goods purchased from a store she conducted in Reedsville, a suburb of Waycross. Shortly after his arrest the negro was released on bond, and when his case was called for trial, he had skipped the country. Some months ego when he came back to take an appointment from the government to weigh the mails, he was again arrest ed. The white people of this section will be glad to know that he has been convicted, and will in all proba bility receive a heavy sentence. Last night Sheriff Miller and Dep uty Woodard raided a place kept by A. Robbins, in the old McQuaig mill on Albany avenue, and arrested Rob bins and his son Alonzo. Two trunks full of whisky, in pints and quarts, were found in the quarters occupied by Robbins and his son, and the men are held on a charge of selling whisky without license. Three pipe organs have recently been installed in as many churches In this city. The latest organ is the large one which was built especially for the First Methodist Church.

The first to enter the fire hole was Lieut. Coie. Without hesitating at becoming scalded by the hot water and steam, he entered quickly and dragged the men from the place to the door, where they were taken in charge by others. Bub and Hamilton were dead when found and Ritzel died a few minutes after being taken on deck. Whether the gasket was defective or whether it had been carelessly put in place remains for the official court of inquiry to determine. It is said the boiler had been thoroughly overhaul ed and tested under a tremendous pressure of steam. At the time of the accident the steam pressure was only sufficient to run the ship’s heat ing plant. The accident will cause little or no delay in preparing the battleship for sea. PROHIBITIONISTS IN A ROW. Bitterness I* Shown in the Connell* of the Party. Chicago, Dec. 15.—After an all-day session of the Prohibition National Executive Committee, where heated de bate varied from personal invective and vinification of motive to a demand for prayer for guidance, National Chair man Oliver W. Stewart of Chicago was at midnight deemed a necessary sacri fice to party harmony, and his resig nation was practically demanded by a vote of 24 to 20 of the members of the National Committee. Chairman Stewart faced, his accus ers and replied to their charges made during the last presidential campaign. He denied every charge against him, and in return bitterly attacked John G. Woolley, who led the fight on Stew art. Stewart said the decrease in the Prohibition vote was due to the attacks of a prominent Prohibition paper, and certain individuals on the method of conducting the campaign. He accused Woolley and his associates of causing all the trouble. He said: "When the matter of nominating Gen. Miles on the Prohibition ticket came up. Mr. Woolley and I talked it over and agreed that he would be a good candidate if he would subscribe to the principles of our party. I commu nicated with Gen. Miles and ascer tained that he was a Democrat, hence I decided it would be inexpedient to nominate him. Woolley criticised me for taking this position.” BELMONT CHOSEN TO SUCCEED M. A. HANNA.

FOREIGN LABOR IN COTTON MILLS BEING TRIED IN CAROLINA. A RESULT OF THE SCARCITY OF MILL LABOR. Mill Hand* Going Back lo the Farm* and the U*e of Foreign Labor In the Mill* Made Nece**ary—One- Third of the Spindle* In Sontli Carolina Said to Be Idle Becan*e of the Innufftciency of Labor. Columbia, S. C., Dec. 15.—The intro duction of foreign labor into the cot ton mills of South Carolina marks a new era in the cotton manufacturing industry. This departure has been made necessary by the scarcity of mill labor, due to the high price of cotton drawing the present help back to the farms. An organized movement on the part of the cotton mill Interests was be gun some time ago and as a result foreign help is being brought to the leading mill centers In this state. In Greenville three mills have taken twenty-five families each of Germans and Poles. Other mills have secured a smaller number of foreigners. Mr. Lewis W. Parker, president of the Olympia, Richland and Granby Mills of this city and of mills in Greenville, states that he is entirely satisfied with the experiment in Green ville and is of the opinion that eventu ally foreign labor will be brought to the mills generally throughout the state. The mill men are pleased with the steadiness and reliability of the new help, and the foreigners, many of whom are well educated, seem to be pleased with their new work and sur roundings. It is said that onc-third of the spindles are lying idle in this state because of the insufficiency of the sup ply of labor and it is this condition that has forced the mills to look else where for help.

London, Dec. 16. —Joseph Chamber lain addressed a meeting of London Eastenders to-night. Mr. Chamber lain devoted his speech largely to a discussion of the fiscal question. He maintained that a tax on imports would materially benefit working men of Great Britain, and insisted that alieh immigration must be checked. While he sympathized with unfortu nate people who were driven from their own country by "the utmost brutali ty,” he said Britons could not be bur dened with the element which is re sponsible for most of the crime, pov erty and disease to b found In indus trial centers. In speaking of the effect of free im ports, Mr. Chamberlain said Ireland was a concrete instance. That coun try was beggared because its main in dustry, agriculture, was ruined by free Imports, while no other industry was found to replace it. MADE TALK IN CHURCH.

The President said in part: "I think that any man who takes an interest in this great country of ours must realize that the one all-im portant necessity of our school, in dustrial and political life Is the ne cessity of the realization of what brotherhood means. We cannot de velop our civilization at all unless we develop it upon the basis of each recog nizing his feltowman a brother, whose interest he must have at heart. "No scheme of legislation, no kind of administration of the government will atone or can atone for the lack of fundamental quality of each being in very deed his brother's keeper. Three-fourths, probably nine-tenths, of the labor troubles that sometimes as sume so ominous a form, would van ish if you could interest the people on each side to approach the matter in a spirit of each striving to care for his fellows as he cares for himself.” Syracuse Wnnta to Get In.

PAID FLORIDA $96,181.69 IN BACK TAXES Wind Up of a Case Which Has Been Pending Twenty-one Years. Tallahassee, Fla., Dec. 15.—The Florida, Central and Peninsular Rail road back tax case has at last been settled by the Seaboard Air Line Rail way paying Into the treasurer of Florida, $96,181.69. The case has been on for a number of years, and has entered as an issue in several political campaigns. The suit was begun in 1881 by a Joint resolution of the Leg islature directing the Governor to em ploy counsel to assist the Attorney General, and to bring suit against the railroad company which afterwards be came the Florida, Central and Penin sular Railroad and is now known as the Seaboard Air Line Railway for back taxes for 1879-80 and 81. Ex- Gov. E. A. Perry and Judge J. W. M'alone were retained by the. state. It was agreed to give these gentlemen 15 per cent, of the amount collected for their services and suit was begun against the railroad. The railroad company contended that it was created by the Act of 1856, known as the Internal Improvement Fund Act, and that under that law it was exempt from taxation. The state contended that the constituent companies forming the company against which suit was brought were constructed under the Internal Im provement fund law, but that when these companies reorganized and com bined, they lost their right of exemp tion from taxes. The case went through the lower courts, consuming a number of years, until It finally reached the United States Supreme Court in 1902, and was decided in fav or of the state of Florida. Attorney TORPEDO ATTACK SHOWED BRAVERY. The Jn|nnene find to Overcome tirent Obntaelon. Toklo, Dec. 15, 4 p. m.—The partially successful torpedo attack on the Sevas topol was made in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles, and writes another inspiring story of the splendid bravery of a number of officers. Facing a driving snow storm and heavy seas, the flotillas separated and, under individual commanders, the ves sels attacked independently. The decks of the destroyers and torpedo boats were coated with ice and the men suffered acutely from cold. The Russians resorted to the most extreme precautions to protect the Sevastopol. They dropped torpedo nets, which shielded the bows of the ship, and the Sevastopol was further protected by a specially constructed wooden boom, the frame work of which was composed of ironbound logs and cables and heavy chains interlaced and entangled. From the surface of this boom hung a deep curtain made of torpedo nets taken from the sunken battleships, the purpose of which was to catch and destroy the torpedoes and their mechanism. The torpedo boats and destroyers evidently forced the openings which the Russians had left for communica tion with the harbor. REPORTED ATTACK UPON THE SEVASTOPOL Tokio, Dec. 15, 3 p. m.—The com mander of the Third Japanese squad ron, reporting at 10:36 o'clock yester day morning says: "Commencing at 11:30 o'clock Tues day night and continuing until 3 o’clock Wednesday morning, six tor pedo boats and specially fitted tor pedo craft constantly attempted at tacks against the Russian battleship Sevastopol, the coast defense vessel Otvashnl and the military transports. “Details of the attacks are not yet known. However, according to reports received from the water tower guard ship at 9 o’clock this morning, the Sevastopol had commenced lowering astern, and the water wu said to roach the torpedo tubes astern." The same commander, telegraphing last night, says one torpedo boat of Lieut. Miyamoto’* flotilla became sep arated from Its comrades and has not been found. One of th# torpedo bouts of this flotilla discharged and eaplod ed a torpedo against the Sevastopol, JAPANESE COLUMN AGAIN ADVANCING. NuAAto, (HKi JijNMtvH url* General Lamar, who Is now congress man from the Third district of Florida represented the state before the Unit ed States Supreme Court, and his suc cess In winning the decision at that time was a strong lever In his race for Congress. After the decision In the Supreme Court In favor of the state, the Cen tral Trust Company of New York, rep tesenting the bondholders of the con stituent companies forming the rail road company, flled a bill tn the Unit ed State Circuit Court and asked for an Injunction, restraining the controll er of Florida from collecting the back tax in accordance with the deci sion of the Supreme Court. Judge Swayne granted the Injunction. The icw Attorney Icneril YV. B. Ellis, wlen he wont Into office found the case In this position. Judge Malone, representing the state, flled a demur rer to the bill of the railroad. This demurrer was overruled. An answer was then made by the state to the bill, and this was replied to by the railroad company, and the Issue Joined, and an agreement reach ;d as to the testimony taken. The case rested tn this position when the Attorney General was ad vised a short time ago by T. L. Clark and Judge O. F.
