MURDERER PALMER CAUGHT. Hu Is Arrested at the Planters' Hotel in St. Louis. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 27. Arthur Pal mer, the Mammaroneck, N. Y., murder er, was arrested by Captain O'Malley and Detective Cocking, of St. Louis, at tlie Planters' hotel, this afternoon. Pal mer has been at the hotel for a week registered as Paul Jones. The arrest was made on a long distance telephone message from Sheriff Johnson, of West Chester county, N. Y who said that Palmer murdered his mother, brother and sister nine days ugo and lied to parts unknown. The sheriff telephoned that Palmer had been traced to St. Louis and could piobably lie found at one of the hotels. During his stay at tho hotel Palmer kept closely to his room. When on the ground Moor he would find a secluded corner in the library uwiiy from the crowd. When told that Up was a prisoner, Palmer collapsed and had to be helped to tlie patrol wagon. GAGE FOR THE TREASURY He Is Summoned to Canton, and Will, It Is Believed, Surely Be Appointed. The Other Vacancies. Canton, Ohio, Jan. 27. The complex political problem surrounding the selec tion of Major McKlnley's cabinet Is now believed to be practlcajly solved and Lyman J. Gage, of Chicago, as secretary of the treasury, Is regarded us the key to tlie situation and the almost certain choice of the president-elect. Tills moral certainty Is trengthened by the fact that the president of the First National bank, of Chicago, Is now on his way to Canton, In response to the telegraphed request of the major to visit him. Chairman Hanna came here and was engaged for several hours today in se cret conference with Mr. McKlnley. It is the understanding that Mr. Hanna approved of Itr. Gage as chief of the treasury department. When the treas ury Is filled, the other portfolios can be easily disposed of, excepting that to be given to New York. That problem remnins as intricate as ever, but the impression prevails here that General AVoodford has the best chance of the appointment. PRINCESS LEAVES THE GYPSY. They Quarrel and She (Joes Alone to Monte Curio. Loudon, Jan. 27.

The affair ended by the departure of the princess, who sarted unattended by the gypsy for Monte Carlo. Be fore leaving the princess paid her own share of the bill due at the hotel, but refused to pay that incurred by Rlgo, who is consequently in an awkward po sition, being In need of money to set tle his account.

DELUSIONAL INSANITY DEFINED According to Dr. Moulton the ilnu Who NrronuotislV Thinks His Wife Has Been Untrue to Him mid Kills Somebody Is Not Mentally Respon sible Tor His Deed anil Should lie Put in an Asylum. Now Bloomfleld, Pa., Jan. 27. The trial of Thomus L. Johnson for the mur der of Druggist George S. Henry, at Duneannon last fall, was resumed to day by recalling Dr. Monlton, the spe cialist on Insanity ftoln Philadelphia, who said persons who suffered from de lusional ormaiitulinsanlty do not usual ly dlspluy such weakness to the people with whom they may associate. They also are usually able to perform their own ordinary duties of every day life, if tlie powers of self-control are not weakened too much. The untrained, ordinary people who come In contact with such people are Incompetent to pass judgment. Such testimony, he said, would be absolutely valueless. Dr. Moulton said that he was positive Johnson was Insane when he did the shooting. He went so tar as to say that had he Known of the doctor's condition and conduct lie would have advised his removal loan Insane hospital. During the cross-examination a close distinction was drawn regarding the difference between a murder committed by a sane man with cause for the be lief of his wife's infidelity and a killing by a man Uio was laboring under de lusional or marital insanity, without any foundation for the belief that his wife had been unfaithful. Dr. Moulton, who has examined thousands of patients suffering from delusional or martial In sanity, said with reference to the first case, that the man would be guilty of murder because he had a perfect knowl edge of right and wrong and should be punished for the crime. In the second Instance, which corresponds with the case of Dr. Johnston, he said the man would be crazy and unresponsible and a lit subject torn lunatic 'hospital. MORE EXPERT TALK. Dr. Charles K. Mills, professor of mental diseases In the University of Pennsylvania, and an expert on Insan ity, corroborated what Dr. Moulton had stated In reference to Dr. Johnston's condition. Hq had examined the pris oner on Nov. 15, 1S9G, In the jail, and with that observation and what he learned In court he had no hesitancy whatever In pronouncing him Insane when he killed Druggist Henry. He gained much of his Information from the prisoner himself, who answered his questions readily. Dr. Johnston's case was an unusual one and If a thousand persons would act In the ime way he would pronounce them all Insane. Dr. Mills' testimony tallied exactly with thut of Dr. Moulton, who Is the star witness for the defense, and by whose testimony the attorneys hope to save the life of Dr. Johnston. The rebuttal will likely close tomor row and on Friday the case in all prob ability go to the jury. Attorney James M. Beck, of Philadelphia, will make the address for the defense while 'x Judgc Burnett will open for the com monwealth and his son, who has been conducting the case for the common wealth, will conclude.

Resolved, That congress bu invited to re-establish and extend the system of reci procity, which may be empluyud to secure for us tariff favors in Latin American and other markets, In which we are the largest buyers, while Europe Is the pre ferred seller solely because of the lower wage rates and lower general costs of pro duction In European countries. It was agreed to send n copy of these resolutions to each member of the pres ent and next congress. The convention will conclude Its labors tomorrow. WARSHIPS FOR BERMUDA. Peculiar Orders Are Given by tlie British Admiralty. Washington, Jan. 27. The United States naval attaches at London, Com mander Cowles, Sends the following to the navy department, dated January 13: The British Admiralty has given instruc tions for the Hotspur (coast defense ship) and the. 'Monarch (third-class battleship) to be commissioned at an early date for service In Bermuda. On receipt of this information Commander Walnwrlght, chief intelligence olllcer, reported to Sec retary Herbert that "As there are at pres ent no armor-clads In the British North American and West Indian squadron this indicates a considerable increase of naval strength in North American waters." Under ordinary circumstances these reports would possibly lead to an In quiry from Secretary Olney addressed to the British government as to the reason for mich an order, but It cannot be learned at the state department whether such action has been taken or not. The strategical importance of the Bermuda fortifications can be appre ciated by the statement that they are the center of a 700 miles circle which includes the north American coast line from Maine to Florida.
