New York, March 'M.J. Pierpont
Morgan gave evidence today before
.Special Examiner Maybey In the suit
of l'eter Power against the Northern
Pacific Kallroad company, ills wast
questioned for two hours and a half by
Oeorgo Alfred Lamb, of counsel for
Power, and during that time he nii
swored (itiestlons rapidly and without
tlie slightest appearance of reserve.
Only once or twice, when questions
weie asked concerning the relation
ship of J. P. Morgan & Co.. with the
linn's customers, did he decline to an
swer. IJefore the hearing was opened. Mr.
Morgan objected to the pretence of a
number of photographers, and they
were directed to leave the room.
During the examination, Air. Mor
gan leaned back heavily in his chair,
his left hand thrust from time to time
deeply in his trousers pocket. He toyed
with an envelope impatiently, now
knocking it against his knee, now
against the table on which his right
arm rested. Ills eyes expressed impa
1I01100. 'L'hej roamed about in extieme
lestlessiicss while questions were being
put to 1dm, but the moment he was
rcudv to answer, they iixed themselves
on Mr. Lamb. Several times during
the hearing the linancier seemed
amused. Once Mr. Lamb asked if the
price of Northern Pacilic did not go
above its real value while his firm was
buying it in May, 1001.
"No," said Mr. Morgan, so amused
that he had to stop to control himself
before he answered. "It did when .they
came to deliver the stock-, but not
when they actually bought."
At another point, the witness was
asked If Mr. Hill had not told him that
there was danger that the Harrlman
syndicate would buy the Utirllngton,
"No," replied he, "but such a thing
was only to be expected. The papers
had much in them about railroad inter
ests buying roads. I believe that with
in a few days wo bought every railroad
in the United States," and Mr. Mor
gan laughed.
After his examination had been fin
ished, Mr. Morgan was conducted
through several hallways to Judge
Wallace's private chamber, whence he
made his way out of the building. All
thin was necessary to get away from a
number of photographers, who were
waiting In one of the hallways to take
the financier's picture as he left the
examination room.
The Hearing in Detail.
Mr. Morgan said It was the business
rf the firm of J. I Morgan & Co. to
take up anything In a financial line
that was creditable and which might
suggest itself as profitable. The firm
had much to do with the re-organlza-tlon
of Northern P.icllle In 188G. The
amount Involved In that re-organlza-tlon
was something like $7S,000,00u.
Mr. Lamb next nuked Mr, Morgan in
regard to a transaction In which $:!C,
000,000 par value of Northern Pacific
stock was purchased for J. .1, Hill and
associates In XSDti. The witness said he
conducted the negotiation for that
amount. He did not know whether all
the puioluisers of that block of North
ern Pacific stock were Great Northern
people. Mr, Morgan said he dirt not
remember all the details of the trans
action, "Of course It Is a great transaction
and it is only natural that you might
not be nbia to remember," bald Mr.
Lamb,
"It did not look very largo to me,"
Fold the witness. "The amount of cash
Involved was not more than about
$3,000,000."
Mr. Morgan said the Northern Pa
cific hud not bepn controlled by any
other railroad since 1800. Since that
time Its value had steadily Increased.
The Great Northern, to a certain ox
lent, was a competitor of the Northern
Pacific, J. P. Morgan & Co, lecelved
po commission for financing the re
tirement of Northern Paelflu preferred.
Concerning the Hurllngtou purchase,
the witness said ho had made up his
mind that Northern Pacilic ought to
have an eastern terminal In Chicago.
Tie talked the mutter over with all
the persons Interested and they agreed.
He said there were three lines avail
able, the Wisconsin Central, the yur
llngton and the St. Paul. The llrst, hu
said, he would not have
"I wanted the St. Paul," said Mr.
Morgan, "and Hill wunted the nur
lliigtou and dually the nurllngton was
Delected, It was the chief deslro of
Mr, Hill that the Great Northern should
havo a terminal In Chicago. I desired
tho same for the Northern Pacilic.
There was nothlpg secret at all uliout
the operations, Mr, Hill made the no-
gotlatlons. 'i'h price of 200 n share
for the Utirllngton stock was demand
ed by the nurllngton directors and 1

LAWYER PATRICK
IS CONVICTED
Held Responsible for the Murder of
tho Aged Millionaire and Re
cluse Wm. Marsh Rice.
By Kxclusiic Wire from The Associated Press.
New York. March 0. Albert T. Fat
rick, lawyer, was this evening con
victed of the murder on Sept. 23, lflOO,
of the aged millionaire recluse, William
Marsh Wee.
The penalty under the statute is
death in the electric chair.
A scant three hours of deliberation
at the close of a trial prolonged for
nine weeks and replete with sensa
tional Interest, sufficed to enable the
jury to reach their verdict. The issue
of tho trial establishes the charge that
Pattrick conspired with Mr. itlce's
valet, Charles F. Jones, to obtain pos
session of the aged Texan's estate, es
timated at $7,000,000 and that Jones
killed his employer by the administra
tion of chloroform at the direct Insti
gation of Patrick.
At the close of Itccorder Goff's
charge, which occupied the morning
session tit tho court, the jury retired.
This was at 1.50 p. in. At r.5r they no
tified the otllcer In charge that they
were ready to return a verdict, rather
more than an hour or the Intervening
time having been devoted to luncheon.
In anticipation or a scene of excite
ment in the event of a verdict of guilty,
tho unusual step was taken or ordering
all women to leave tlie court room.
Among them wete tlie prisoner's two
sisters and Mrs. Francis, with whom
he boarded.
Calm as ever and with confidence
seemingly unshaken, the prisoner was
escorted into tho court room. He walk
ed rapidly and took his stand facing
the jury with head erect and hands
loosely clasped behind his back,
At the word "guilty" pronounced by
Foreman Muchell in a tone low, but
distinct enough to be heard througout
the court, not the slightest change pas
sed over Patrick's face and he remain
ed standing in an almost listless atti
tude while the customary poll of the
Jury was being taken.
The verdict was known almost im
mediately In the corldor where the
woman, relatives) and lriends of the
prisoner were waiting, and a scene of
excitement ensued.
Screaming hysterically, the prisoner's
eldest sister ran about the corldor, beg
ging to be allowed to see her brother.
Mrs. Francis, Patrick's landlady,
fainted, and on recovering broke from
the attendants and rushed into the
court room, from which Patrick had
just been removed. There she again
swooned. Both women weie removed
to an ante room and were sent home in
a carriage.
A motion will be made for a new
trial when the prisoner Is arraigned re
sentence, The cases of David L. Short and Mor
ris Meyers, the witnesses to Patrick's
will, who testified for him at the pre
liminary heating before Justice Jerome
and were Indicted for perjury as a re
sult of their testimony, will probably
be moved for trial In about ten days.
AVhat disposition will be made of
Charles K. Jones, the former valet
secretary of Millionaire Wee, who con
fessed on the stuud that he placed
a chloroform sponge In n cone over his
sleeping employer's face, no one con
nected with the district attorney's of
fice would say tonight, Jones is not
under indictment for murder, and, so
fnr as known, Is not unler indictment
for forgery and conspiracy. Ho testl
lled on tho witness stand that he ex
pected to receive some Immunity for
his confession,

By Kidusiie Wire from The Aoclaccii Preu.
Cape Town, March 26. Cecil Rhodes
died at 5.57 p. m. He slept during the
afternoon, but his breathing became
more dltilcult and his strength percep
tibly dlmlshed until he passed away.
At his bedside were Dr. Jameson. Dr.
Smartt, Colonel Klmhurst Rhodes, di
rector of signalling of the South Afri
can Held foi ce, and Mr. Walton, a
member of the assembly of Port Eliza
beth. Mr. Rhodes' last words were the
names or his hi other and some or tho
others present, which were meant to
be good-byes. The only person who at
tended him during his Illness and who
was not present at his death-bod was
Dr. Stevenson; all the others, his boys
and personal servants, were admitted
at the last.
The body will be taken to Grootes
chuur, the residence or the deceased,
near Cape Town, on a special train to
morrow. There it will probably lie in
state for a day or two and tlie public
will be admitted to view the remains.
It has not yet been determined where
ho will be burled. It was the wish ot
Mr. Rhodes to be interred at Matoppo
Hills. Rhodesia. Certain or his friends
will proceed to Matoppo Hills, to de
termini; whether it is practicable to
carry out this wish.
The fea tines or the dead man are
placid and a death mask or them will
be taketf.
Cape Town, March 'S,. The govern
ment has decided to give Cecil Rhodes
a public funeral. His remains will bo
brought here from Grooteschuur, Tor
the burial service, which will be held
In the cathedral. The body will then
be taken back to Grooteschuur and will
eventually be interred at Matoppo Hills.
His Death Caused No Surprise.
London, March 2C The death of
Cecil Rhodes came as no great sur
prise to tlio.se few who saw anything
of him during his last visit to Lon
don during the winter. Whether it
was due to his experiences during the
long siege of Kimbeiiey, or the accu
mulated anxieties regarding the war
In South Africa, with an accompany
ing change of public feeling In England
towards hlnv there is no doubt he was
almost completely broken down with
in the Inst two years.
Even his uppeaiunce changed. His
once finely chiselled face had become
bloated apd his always huge frame
filled out until he became so stout as
to make walking a matter or difficulty.
He was frequently attacked with se
vere heart troubles, during which he
exhibited the stoicism which marked
his extraotdlnary career. Nor did he
allow his bodily ailments to Interfere
with business. Among his associates
In the city ho never mentluned them,
nor did he permit them to be men
tioned to him. Up to the last Mr.
Rhodes kept a firm grip on all those
vast South African Interests created
and controlled by him. Except that
he was more irritable and more dic
tatorial, there was no outward change
in his method of handling men, mil
lions and empires. Toward the social
side of life, however, he soured visibly.
Onco his day's work nt the olilces of
the Utitlsh Chartered South Africa
company was over he shut himself up
from the curious In an unfrequented
London hotel, where he utterly denied
himself to nil except half a dozen fa
vored Intimates. Dr. Jameson was his
constant companion, Indeed none of
Dr. Jameson's Indiscretions ever affect
ed tho warm friendship existing be
tween the two men. They could bo
seen lu the park in the morning, taking
solitary ildes on horses, never break
lug out from a walk, the cynosure of
all oyes, yet severely unobservant of
tho hundnles of London's political and
poclul leaders who hud the light to a
bowing aciiualntonceslilp, Moie espe
cially did Mr, Rhodes shun tho present
government leaders, He bitterly ex
pressed his contempt of British army
methods In South Africa, and probably
never quite forgave Mr, Chamberlain
and Lord Mlluer for not consulting
him or endeavoring to utilize the pow
erful financial-political machine which
Mr. Rhodes undoubtedly manipulated
over the. whole of South Africa, With
Increasing Irascibility, which ho did not
hesitate to vent on duke or pleblan who
crossed his path, ho grew more and
mom restless as the end of his Ufa
dow near. He was never contented to
stay long In one place, Ills closing
days developed Into an unceasing,
purposeless quest of change of scene.
Dining Ids recent trip to Egypt this
wus particularly noticeable, Uo rushed
from place to place, as ir with tho
only ubjeot or upsetting his own plans.
Then he suddenly returned to England.
Enterprises Systematized.
Financially, Mr, Rhodes' death Is not
likely to havo any very far-reaehliiK
results, as all his enterprises were
systematized so thoroughly as not to
need tho master mind which was so
necessary to their Inception.
Owing to tho very great success of

DR, SWALLOW'S TRIAL
WILL BEGIN TODAY
Grave Charges Are Also Made
Against the Minsters of the Har
risbug District.
By ll.xeluslie Wire from Ihe Associated 1'rtw.
Relief on to, Pa., March 20. The Cen
tral Pennsylvania Methodist Episcopal
conrcronce was formally opened at 0
o'clock this morning, with Bishop John
M. Waldcn presiding. Ulshop Cyrus D.
Foss assisted in the administration of
tho sacrament to the conference.
Conference was In executive session
four hours berorn a decision was
reached as to how Dr. Swallow should
be tried. Dr. Swallow was debated in
his contention for a trial in open con
ference, and the hearing will be before
a committee of fifteen. It will likely
come up for hearing early tomorrow.
At the instance of Dr. Swallow,
grave charges were preferred against
Rev. C. V. Hartzell, Dr. E. H. Yocum,
presiding elder ot the Harrisburg dis
trict, and Dr. J. AVesley Hill. Rev.
Hartzell will be tried by tlie same com
mittee that will try Dr. Swallow, but
no disposition lias yet been made as to
the charges against Drs. Yocum and
Hill.
The conference refused to hear the
natuie of tho charges preferred by Dr.
Swallow, but referred them to the com
mitter without reading, although the
three accused ministers begged that the
charges be read.
Tho case of Dr. Swallow will proba
bly be tried first. Tlie committee of fif
teen has not yeet been chosen. They
will be selected by a committee of live,
to be made up as follows:
The prosecution will select two and
the defense two and the four so chosen
will name the fifth, and these will name
tho committee of 15. The trial which
will bo secret, will probably commence
tomorrow morning in tlie council
chamber in the town's public building,
which has been secured for the purpose.
The church will be represented by Dr.
M. K. Foster, of Danville, as counsel,
und the prosecutor, Dr. C. V. Hart
zell, of Harrisburg. Dr. Swallow will
be defended by Rev. R. H. Gilbert, of
lierwlck; Rev. J. C. Ulckle, of Janes
v.Ille, and Rev. William Powlck, or the
Philadelphia conTerence. Other com
mittees will be appointed in the other
cases, which will be tried later. The
decision or these committees is final.
The charges preferred against Dr.
Hartzell and Dr. Hill by Dr. Swallow
are for defamation of character, and
those against Dr. Yocum affect his con
duct of the office of presiding elder.
The committee of live who will select
the committee of llfteen to try Dr.
.Swallow was subsequently chosen as
follows:
Dr. Swallow chose Dr. J. W. Rue, of
Curwensvllle, and Dr. S. M. Frost, of
White Haven. Dr. Hartzell selected
Dr II. C. Pardee, of Nenova, and Dr.
W. P. Evelund, of Chumbersburg, Rev.
J. II. Shaver, of Wllllumsport, was se
lected as the fifth. These five will re
port the names of the committee of
llfteen In the morning. The general
supposition is that Bishop Foss will
preside at tho trial.

Manila, March 26. Noriel. the only
Insurgent general with the exception of
Malvar still In the Held, has been cap
tured by Lieutenant Frank E. Bamford
of the L'8th infantry.
A major, a captain, a lieutenant and
five men who were acting tts a body
3uard to Noriel were captured with
him. They have all been held as pris
oners of war. There is some reason to
believe: that one member of h!s body
guai it is General Malvar Hi disguise.
Lieutenant Bamford is certain that if
this general is not one of the captured
party, he is in tlie immediate neighbor
hood of the scene of Nortel's capture.
Noriel has been one of the recogniz
ed lenders of the Insurrection since 1899.
He was captured on his way to the
coast while endeavoring to escape. He
admits that tlie insurrection, as such,
Is over, and says that the few remain
ing leaders are fleeing, as they do not
command enough men to warrant com
mensurate with their rank.
