Boise, Mello, May 20.—Coum el for de-
fence and. prosecution in the ease of Wm,
11. Haywood, which to -day begins its
aheth day, express doubt ea to the prob-
ability of securing a jury for several
Jays. Yesterday hope ran. high that the
4. aeats now filled with talesmen qualified
to the peremptory' challenge point would,
le changed. to a box of real jurymen by
;the end of to-dWei session. But the fact
that eleven tab:hewn were excused in
the effort to fill the one seat vacated
by a peremptory challenge and that it
took two hours anal a half to qualify
one man for cause alone at the half
day session yes -Am -lay, showed an in-
creasing reluctance in the part of the
talesman to serve. Notwithstanding the
fact that 07 talesman are yet to be
called from the special venire summoned
by Sheriff Dwight, the fear is expressed
that this venire may ba exhausted and
another will have to be called.
Additional witnesses are arriving on
every train.
Two witnesses who arrived yesterday
aro here in connection with the discovery
of what is known as Greek fire or "Pet-
tibone dope," buried. in an old sawmill at
Pocatello, and in connection with the
confession which Steve Adams is said
to. have made. Adams is said to, have

Orchard said he was glad to see his

"Is there any general statement that
you would like to make to the public,"
he was asked, •
"No," he replied. "I don't know as

that I have no fault to find with the
way I have been treated everyone has
treated Inc well. I could not have
been treated betteee under the circum-

Browne, in the course of a lecture at the

some time ago he issued a number of

was whether the recipients were left-
handed, right-handea or ambialexterous,
Some thought it was a practical joke,
and other believed it was a subtle way
to detect insanity, But 057 replies were
received. Out of that number 23,i per
cent. were left-handed.
Another question on the circular was:
"Do you wink with the left eye or with
the right?"
The majority winked with the left
eye; and a number of ladies who re-
epoeded to the appeal were equally di-
vided as to the use of the right and, left
eye.
Bather more than 30 per cent. claimed
to be proficient in the use of both eyes,
and 9.13 declared they could not wink
at all.

Montreal, Quebec, May 20e—The Presi-

this morning to straighten out the mud-
dle over the 'longshoremen's strike, and
for that purpose is meeting a committee
of five from the strikers' side and two
of his own selection for the purpose of
getting down in black ane white just

Alt of last nights' mass meeting the strikers
early this morning decided to decline
the offer of the shipping federation to
...rant an increase of 2 1-2 cents an hmtr
and to refer to arbitrators the other hili
of the demand, viz., for an increase of 5
cents an hour. There Was, hoWeVer, con-

Mr. Raymond Asquith, son of the Eng
lish Chancellor, whose engagement to
Miss Katherine Homer is announced,
will marry a thorough sportswoman.
Her father is well known in political cir-
cles and the owner of Molls Park, which
has been in the Horner family for sonic
five or six hundred years. Mrs. Horner
is. rather a character. She was a loyely
girl, and sat constantly for Burno-Jones
from childhood. After her marriage she
continued to sit for him, and then, later,
her eldest girl, Cicely, the belle of the
London season of 1003, sat for him also.
Mrs. Horner believes in the Burne -Jones
precept that one must see a beautiful
picture, hear beautiful music or read a
beautiful book every day. Little "Jack
Horner" of the nursery books belonged
to this Horner family.
As for the groom, he is a true son of
his father, especielly academically. He,
too, distinguished himself brilliantly
(and in almost identical directions) at
Oxford, and is now, like his father be-
fore) him, a rising member of the Bar.
Adaptibility is evidently Mr. Asquith's
motto, for at Barnet, where "erudite
studies are coupled with an enjoyment
of the grosser pleasures of the world,"
he wits said by an observer to devote
himself with equal ardor to bump sup -
pyre, bridge, anti-Clerlealiem, Liberal
Leagueism, logic lectures, meetings of
the "Souls," peiming of "Ephemera Crit-
ic -it," etc.; and from this same acutely
observant observer 1 learn that Mr.
Asquith, jun., had a "magnificent in-
soucianee" in matters sartorial. He wore
a red tie constantly. Ife had been known
to walk down the "High" in a motor -
bicycling suit, and to appear, even in
Bond street, in flannels and shooting
boots.

RUSSIA'S DRY MEN.
LARGE EMIGRATION OF THE MILK -

Twelve Hundred Sailed From Libau on

Canada—They Are g Temperate,
Cleanly People.
St, Petersburg, May is most
difficult to -obtain full information -in
regard to the migration of the
Molokanye, or milk -drinking Quakers, to
America, because these peculiar people
are a close-mouthed as well as a stiff-
necked generation) and the authorities
are, of course, concerned. to minimize
the extent of a movement which they
are sensible enougli to recognize as a
national niisfortune.

car to the suggestions of the holy
:Synod, end in 1004 used his ukase in-
suring religious freedom the milk -drink-
ing Quakers—the 'dry" men, as the wet
umhzik$ of holy Russia call them —
have had little to complain of, SO far
as the Imperial Government is concern-
ed, but they have suffered front the
potty persecutions of their neighbors
and of minor officials.
It is suspected they are bound for
Canada, having been invited there by
their cousins in religion, the Doukhobors,
and the most liberal land grants of Sir
Wilfild Laurier' Government. Of-
ficials did their best to delay the emi-
grants and to turn them aside into east-
ern Siberia. However, at last all the
devices of the Government vireumio-
cution offices were overcome, and the
Quakers, to the number of twelve hun-
dred, proceeded to Libatt, whence they
sailed. on Saturday. The Doukhobors in
Canada are so prosperous that last week
they remitted 10,000 roubles (about
$5,000) to Count Leo Tolstoi, their ad-
vocate and friend, to help feed the mauy
starving in the Volga Governments, and
it is suspected here that they are assist-
ing the departure of the Molokanye, who
all seem to be supplied with comfortable
sums of money.
Tke Molokanye are to be found in
scattered settlements throughout the
country. In habits and religious prin-
ciples they are mueh akin to the Eng-
lish Quakers, They are temperate,1
neat and cleanly, and whether as land-
owners or as tenant farmers and labor-
ers have an enviablereputation for at-

GERMANY AND CANADA.
Count Von Posadowsky Admits Desire
for Negotiations.
London, May 20.—The Mail publishes
an interview which its Berlin corre-
spondent has had with Count von Poss.
dowsky, the Imperial Home Secretary.
Asked about the report that Mr. Field-
ing wits coming to Berlin to initiate tar-
iff negotiations. Herr von Posadowsky
replied: "Until now we have had no
official intimation of any sort that Can-
ada either desires or intends to take up
tariff negotiations with us. Our fiscal
arrangements with the Dominion are
now in an altogether abnormal state,
and we should be happy to have them
regulated on some more mutually satis-
factory basis. We have noticed with
pleasure even the unconfirmed news-
paper statements that Mr. Fielding has
some such mission in view, for personal
contact out these controversial and com-
plicated questions (witness the result
of our negotiations with the American
tariff commissioners in Berlin) is always
the most sensible and effective way of
approaching them."
