IN THE SENSA TIONAL INSURANCE SUIT GIVES . EVIDENCE. SUB SEEKS VINDICATION. HER MANNER AND BEARING MUCH CHANGED SINCE HER TRIAL. BIG EVENT IN MASONIC CIRCLES. Festival of Malta . Calls Together Knlffht-* From Many States— Minneapolis Matters. Albert H. Hall opened the case of Lora Perkins against the Security Mutual Life Insurance company before Judge Belden yes terday. He dwelt considerably upon the facts relative to the fire in which Lola Hawkins lost her life. In making his opening the attorney showed what to 'he public had been a sealed book during all the ' preliminaries, his claim against the defense of the companies. He stated that his side would rest with show ing the policy and making a prima facie case, and that the defense would make the case by striving to prove its defense. The company claimed that the plaintiff had falsely represented the state ' of things, made false answers to questions, and, In fact. impersonated Mrs. Hawkins. The only new claim is that the questions and answers submitted by the company are a false, forged and altered statement, and therefore should not be evidence. Le.oird Thompson, local agent of the com pany, was called by the _ plaintiff's counsel for cross-examination under the statute as the first witness. Mr. Hall presented the policy, and elicited the assertion that it was a policy of the company issued on the life of Lola Hawkins, but the witness stated, in line with the claim of the defense, that the policy was issued direct from the New York office, upon reports taken at this end of the route. Mr. Hall asked if there was not some pri vate advice sent to the New York office upon which the policies were isuued, aside from the reports used publicly. The witness stated that there was not, in that case, although sometimes the. examining physician did make a private report of his own accord. The witness swore positively that the lady who arranged with him for the insurance was Mrs. Perkins, and not Mrs. Hawkins, as she represented. The line of evidence was .ln direct line with that at the first hearing. He admitted that he never saw Mrs. Hawkins up to that time. H. D. Ruch, one of the first persons to be at the Perkins house after the fire, told of finding the satchel, In company with Mr. Mayer, deputy coroner. They took some papers out of the satchel, and witness "said he heard Mayer say that one of the papers was an insurance policy. He could not swear that It was the same policy that wan in evidence. Mr. Hall tried to have the witness say that it was a large pocketbook, rather than a satchel, in which he found the paper, but witness could not say from his memory that it was. It seemed to him like a satchel. . "... PLAINTIFF ON THE STAND. -. The plaintiff herself, arrayed ln black, with only the pure white of her handker chief, carried in a black-gloved hand to break the sombre hue, unless it was the oc casional gleam of light upon the gold eye glasses beneath the veil, took the stand. She started to tell how she came to find the pol icy, when Mr. Severence objected. "How can I tell, how I found the policy, Mr. Severence?" asked the witness, with some asperity, "unless you let me tell how I came to go after them." ■■■--.-'.. '_■ "I will argue that matter with your at torney," said Mr. Severence, dryly. '.'This is all Immaterial. If this is a valid policy, they are entitled to recover, and that is all." '''.YY "You may show the delivery, briefly," said the court. ; ;-•.'. The witness bore herself very differently from what she did at the criminal hearing. She was quick, spoke highly and sharply, and so rapidly that the court could hardly prevent her from giving evidence when ruled out. "Had you ever seen this policy before that time?" asked Mr. Hall. "No, sir," was the firm- reply. Mr. Hall wanted to show a denial of the claims of the defense, when the court ruled it out as improper, as being out of order. "If you want to take the burden, you can do so," said Mr. Severence. "At j present it is preseumptlve that she knew nothing of this policy." "y'y -' '■ Witness was allowed to state '.hat she and Mrs. Hawkins had lived together fcr nine years. Mr. Hall tried to show those relations, regarding the way in which they bad agreed to provide for the family, wl.cn Ml. Severenc-; objected, because If lt was a parole agreement, the other party being dead, it could not be proved. Judge Bab cook, for Mr. Hall, stated that this did not apply. Their side did not cjaim a contract, but an insurance interest by means of a neutrality, whereby they both nosted their money, and used them together. It was not necessary that people should be blood rela tives to create an Insurable Interest. Mr. Severence claimed, that at that time the only insurable interest they could show would be on the contract of insurance. . The court held with him on this point, and the objection was sustained. Witness swore that - Mrs. Hawkins was in good health until about July of the year of her death. She had given birth to a child in 1883, at Dcs Moines, 10. Regarding dates, the witness had not a good memory, and could not say for certain. -'; : " Mr. Hall wanted to put on an expert on handwriting, but Mr. Severence insisted upon having his expert present before that was _______________________________ THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: FRIDAY JttORNING, APRIL 24, 1896. done, so that the case was continued until this morning.

Y>YYYY~zi As the result of steps taken by officials of the Minneapolis & St. Louis road and other interested parties during the last few months, looking towards extensive experimentation to determine as to the practicability of estab lishing a beet sugar industry in Minnesota, 100 pounds of sugar beet seeds are now being put up in packages at the Commercial club preparatory to distribution. The seeds arrived but a day .or two . ago from New York, having been Imported from Germany. They are, being put up in packages of four ounces each, and will be sent to be tween 300 and 400 farmers along the line of the Minneapolis & ■ St. Louis road and in other portions of the state, where conditions are thought favorable for beet culture. Ac companying the packages will be circulars printed in various languages, giving instruc tions with regard to the proper method of cultivation. The work of experimentation along this line will be supervised by one of the travel ing freight agents of the St. Louis road, and from the number of Inquiries that have been received from f?a_*iers who Intend to carry on the experimental work, it Is thought that the result of this season's work will be to show conclusively whether or not a r sugar beet industry may be successfully established and maintained In this state. The packages of seeds will be sent out today. Mills Make a Bi_ Run. The mills ran more heavily last week than they have In any week since December, says the Miller. They ground 264,860 barrels, against 251,695 barrels the preceding week. About the same capacity is going this week, but, as some of the .mills are not crowding quite so hard, the production may show a small decrease. Next week another mill will be placed in commission, and, perhaps, . two. Some of the smaller ones run irregularly, owing to the dull market. Last week's flour trade was the lightest for some time. The aggregate sales did not exceed 110,000 barrels. Farming In Minneapolis Streets. Although the most distinguishing feature of the Thirteenth ward is the open country that prevails therein, yet there apparently is not enough vacant land in a single stretch to satisfy a certain individual, who has recently plowed up Columbus avenue, between Forty eighth and Forty-ninth streets, with the In tention of converting it into a potato patch. A taxpayer, who owns property facing on the portion of the . street torn up, appealed to the authorities to stop the would-be farmer. The man has been notified to stop.

Tbe Premier Retires, but . I* Not Yet • ".-Willi-*"** ," to Admit a. Final Defeat. PARIS, April 23.— The Bourgeois cabinet has resigned. The resignation was '." an nounced by the premier immediately upon the reconvening of the chamber of deputies today, and, at the conclusion of the announce ment, M. Bourgeois and his colleagues with drew. The crisis precipitated by the resignation of the cabinet has set : the politicians of all shades briskly at work to get what advan tage is possible out :of the new formation. The Bourgeois cabinet, distinctively . Radical as lt has been, and even . Socialist, has held office longer and acomplished more than was thought possible when It flrst took "effect after M. Ribot's overthrow. -** . .. The opinion 1b expressed In the lobbies. that M. Bourgeois has made a blunder in resign ing even now, and that he could have/ de fled the senate and continued to hold office with the approval of the chamber. The day's votes showed that he* could easily have se cured a big majority "there, and he had an nounced the doctrine, which the chamber ap proved by Its votes, that the chamber of. deputies, elected by. universal suffrage, alone had the power to a make and unmake min isters. But, though !M. Bourgeois has defied the censure of the senate when expressed In general .terms, he!' was not willing to con tinue the responsibility of the government when the senate withheld the credits to meet money obligations. There are indications that M. Bourgeois hopes to obtain ' deeper and more lasting advantage over the senate, and the Conservative political tendencies which lt represents, by carrying his quarrel with them to the electorate. The municipal elec tions are approaching, and following them comes the election of one-third of the mem bers of the senate, the senators being elected for a term of nine 'years, but one-third re tiring every three years. The successors of many of those senators who retire this year are to be elected by new municipalities. It is, therefore, highly : significant that the So cialist group - of the . Republican ." party has tonight issued a manifesto, calling upon citi zens and . workmen ' to utilize their rights of universal suffrage in . the I coming municipal elections so as to establish the popular .power in the municipalities . and spread _ the Social ist spirit in the - mayoralties. This .is pre liminary to securing - the elction of senators. By giving up office, M. -Bourgeois . can go to j these electors with -the plea that the senate j opposed and overthrew- his cabinet : because ! of its Socialistic tendencies, and he hopes thus to rally a large Socialist vote in the munici pal elections. Y."-Y~~i.' «„ _-; Today's votes in then chamber j are \ believed • to Indicate that a, .-Moderate Republican cab inet, if formed, could not enlist the support of the chamber an£ cryild not last.. There Is nothing definite apparent as to the head of the next cabinet, bu^'M. Meline is consid ered the most likely -successor to M. ' Bour geois. M.Meline_b_- reason of his earnest 1 advocacy of * the .theory .'. of j protection, has been called by som-e persons "The French Mc- Kinley." ,-- : . - . . It is feared that the present cabinet crisis may have - serious; <■ effects on the political ' fabric. It seems..; probable, tonight that .a"; presidential crisis, ,— llL,ensue. In fact, It has' been argued by some pf the deputies that the resignation of M. Faure 'is '; part of M. " Bour geois' plan. The two chambers would have to meet together as o_e, the national assem bly, to elect a new president. M. Bourgeois ! believes that rhe " could - control f the national ! assembly as one 'body/- though as two cham bers the : senate is against him. 'He /would, ' it " is said, endeavor to ' secure f amendments ] to the constitution from the national assem bly which would put ' the cabinet beyond fear of harm from .the ' senate alone and make it accountable .to the deputies, after which M." Faure would* be . re-elected president, and < M. '■ Bourgeois, reappointed premier, 'would be. secure - -in his lease of power. ' '• " M Bourgeois, in announcing the resignation, of „ the ministry, .' read a statement 'contesting ■ the right of ; the senate to overthrow a ! min-' lstry or to be the sole Interpreter of the constitution, but he added, in view of the impossibility of securing proper military re liefs for Madagascar, the cabinet was com pelled to resign. - The government retired, he said, undiscouraged. They wished to ex press their hope in a majority for reform which' would sustain the government. Men would pass away, but principles, when just, would live and triumph. The government for the past five months had striven to steer French j democracy in its natural course; to inspire the party with confidence in Its. self and to inculcate In all citizens a healthy in terest in political struggles. "We have done our best," said M. Bour geois, "to form and inspire the great Demo cratic party, whose aim it is to make the republic the instrument of moral and social progress and a lasting means of lessening the inequalities of the classes, and the increase in solidarity among men. The chamber has not ceased to approve and to support us in., the great task. We await with confidence j the hour when the country . will *- pass • sovereign judgment upon us." •.,'.' i- -..\ ■I After the withdrawal of the ministers, M. Rickard, -. in \ the name of j the progressionists, presented a- motion affirming the predomi nance of the chamber of deputies, and that the chamber represents universal suffrage, and a policy of Democratic reform. M. Goblet declared that the 5 senate's conduct was unconstitutional, and moved that the chamber side with the ministry. M. Le Bon asked that the discussion be adjourned, see ing that the ministry had resigned, and amid considerable uproar, he submitted a motion, which was' defeated by a vote of 283 to 268, that the house adjourn. The discussion was then continued, and jM. Goblet announced that he would support M. Rickard's motion. The flrst part of the motion was adopted by a vote of 309 to 83. The second part was adopted by a vote of 417 to 37. Later, -amid much excitement, the motion was adopted in its entirety, by a vote of 258 to 0. CURZON EXPLAINS. .

I Mr. Eliot Took tlte Administration Roundly to Tusk for Its For- . ■•-'. -*.~* .'. . el_n Policy. WASHINGTON, April 23.— conference for international arbitration, which has been very harmonious, closed tonight with a mass meeting, ln the course of which President Eliot, of Harvard university severely ar raigned the policy of President Cleveland and Secretary Olney. . The personalities "which President Eliot uttered in cool, measured terms were so pointed that they created a decided sensation. In closing he said: "There has recently been an importation from Europe of an idea utterly repugnant to us, a . modern . notion called jingoism, a de testable word for a detestable thing. I should be utterly at a loss to know which party ln this country is the greatest offender in this respect,* and I particularly grieve that fore most in this enormity are sundry graduates of Harvard ' university. . Can anything be more offensive to Industrious, sober, hard working American citizens than this chip on the shoulder attitude, this brutality coupled with a despotic militarism." Some applause followed these remarks, but there was great applause when Bishop Kean, rector of the . Catholic university, who spoke next, began. "I am not here to blame the president or congress. I do not believe 'it our purpose or our right to blame either of them. But we, as American citizens, are free to say that it is a pity that things are as they are, compelling the president and congress to talk of war with another civilized nation." A small bomb was dropped into the conven tion by E. V. Smalley, of St. Paul, formerly a Washington newspaper correspondent. / Mr. Smalley announced that he must dissent from the proposition that this country should wel come the extension of the power of Great Brit ain over the . world as an agency of civiliza tion, but should limit its own strength within its present borders. "The cry for us to estab lish ourselves as a sea power among | the na tions of the globe Is jingoism. I don't believe it is j the sentiment of the American people," he said, and there was applause from many of the delegates, while others raised a point of order that was overruled by the chairman. "We do not desire* to retire from the.com petition for commerce all over the globe,", he continued. "It is not Jingoism to desire to accept the friendly alliance of the Sandwich Islands. .... "■_ / ' "It is Idle to think that all nations will lay down their arms and dwell like brothers in a church. * Most of the citizens of the United States favor the movement to * Increase our navy." (Cries of "'no, no," and "yes, yes"). Great Britain had built canals for sending her, gunboats Into . the , Great Lakes, and the United - States had made a mistake in taking no steps for her own protection on the lakes. ,z Carl . Scburz, tof New York, replied . to Mr. Smalley's argument. He contended that if the United States was to be a great sea power it ' must establish a navy as large as any two European powers. ; -- A letter of regret because of inability to at- ! tend 'was received from - Cardinal Gibbons, ad dressed to Hon. Gardiner G. Hubbard. Cardi nal Gibbons said: "There is' no subject that should demand the attention of men Influential in commer cial and social life ;; more than the question of international arbitration." ': The report of the'; committee on resolutions . and a. general discussion thereon was the business of the afternoon session.'
