Pa., February 3.?Evi dence showing that Contractor John H. Sanderson sold furniture to the state prior to securing the contract for furnish ing the new capitol on the "linear foot" basis instead of by the "surface measure ment" was introduced by the common wealth at the trial In the Dauphin county court today of the alleged fraud cases. The schedule of 1808 for state supplies un der which Sanderson was given the con tract for furniture and other documents showing that he was paid by the linear foot on this contract were offered in evi dence to show that the "per foot" rule of measuring furniture, as originally adopted by the state, applied only to the linear foot. Th? defense objected to the introduction of this evidence, and a lonjf side-bar ar gument, as to its admissibility followed. Judge Kunlcel ruled that the papers were admitted only so far as they affected San derson. The purpose of the offer was to show that Sanderson knew that the meas urement of the capitol furniture was false. The case proceeded slowly today, and It looks now as If the end will not be reached before the mlddl ? of n~xt wek TO prevent the grip. LAXATIVE BKOMO QUININE removes th? canae.

WARM WELCOME TO FLEET RESIDENTS MAKING THE STAT AT PUNTA ARENAS ENJOYABLE. i Naval Officers Will Be the Only Pilots for the Squadron Through Straits. PUNTA ARENAS. Strait of Magellan. February 3.?The officers and men of the American fleet, now that the warships are safely riding at anchor, are begin ning to enjoy hospitality ashore. Official visits have been exchanged and yesterday guns were booming all day. Admiral j Thomas returned the visit of Admiral Simpson, the head of the Chilean delega tion. which came here on the cruiser Chacabuco, to Admiral Evans, and there were cardial greetings on both sides. The officers of the American fleet have a desire to call at Valparaiso, but this will be impossible. Admiral Evans says he will pass close enough to see and be seen by the watchers on shore. Dinner on Shore. There is great enthusiasm here and a hearty desire on the part of the residents to make the stay of the Americans an enjoyable one. A banquet was given on the Chacabuco yesterday and a ball has been arranged for tomorrow at the resi dence of the American consular agent, i Moritz Braun. Rowing competitions be tween the various chaninion crews of the vessels also are being arranged. It has been reported Hnat an army pi lot wa.s to pilot the fleet through the strait, but it is announced that the offi cers of the ships are the only pilots necessary. During the last three days bt the pas sage to this port the fleet encountered occasional fogs and rains. On tha morn ing of the 31st, Cape Virginis was signt ed and at noon in single column the fleet passed impressively into the great waterway. The Chilean signal station at Dungeness signaled: "Enter Chilean waters distinguished American seamen. A pleasant voyage." IN HONOR OF EVANS CHILEAN FLEET GAVE HIM A VICE ADMIRAL'S SALUTE. PUNTA ARENAS. Chile. February 3 The American battleship fleet arrived at this place Saturday after a pleasant run from Rio de Janeiro, coming to anchor at noon. The Chilean cruiser Chacabuco and* the British cruiser Sappho were In the harbor, and they both saluted the American flag. The Chacabuco, as a special courtesy from the Chilean navy, gave Admiral Evans a vice admiral's salute instead of the one due a rear admiral, following the example set by the Brazilian navy when the fleet was at Rio de Janeiro. Aboard the Chacabuco was Admiral Simpson of the Chilean navy, the vice minister of marine, who came here on a special mis sion to welcome the Americans to Chilean teiritory, and John Hicks, the American minister at Santiago. Thfe vice minister of marine will have charge of the offi cial entertainments to be given t? the American officers here. After the fleet came to anchor the usual official calls were exchanged, at which more than the usual formal cordiality was noticeable. Apparently the entire population of the city turned out to see the American ships, and the town was gaily decorated with flags in honor of the occasion. Here, as at Rio. Rear Ad miral Thomas, commanding the second squadron of the third division of the fleet, will do the social honors in place of Rear Admiral Evans. Features of the Trip. j The most noteworthy feature of the trip J south from Rio occurred January 16 when four Argentine warships, which had been dispatched for the purpose, met the American fleet off the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, when national salutes were exchanged. The crews of the various ships cheered each other, and Admiral Oliva, commanding the Argentine squad ron. and Rear Admiral Evans exchanged cordial greetings by means of the wire less telegraph. The courtesy was an un precedented one. The ceremonies lasted forty minutes. Admiral Ollva missed the fleet at first, owing to the thick and heavy weather that was prevailing. He, however, found the tender Yankton and the supply ship Culgoa. which were proceeding slowly on account of the weather conditions, and from them he learned the position of the fleet. He then sent a wireless message notifying the Americans that he would catch up with them, and. steaming at the rate of fifteen knots, he overhauled them after an hour's chase, as the fleet was making only ten knots an hour. Frank Tew. an oiler on the Maine, died from peritonitis and was buried at sea January 'M. The report that Capt. E. F. Gre^n of the army transport service had been de tailed to join the fleet and pilot it through the Strait of Magellan was untrue. As a matter of fact, the navigation of the strait Is not as difficult as entering the I harbor of New York or Boston. Admiral Evans says that any one of his officers Is competent to take the fleet through It. The flotilla of torpedo boa.t destroyers, which visited Buenos AirdB on invitation of the Argentine government, is expected to arrive here Tuesday next.
