The Scottish Sabbath.
The Earl of Aberdeen had an odd experience of the Scottish Sunday on his arrival there on the 6th ult. Arriving at Edinburgh from London with the train duo at half-past in the, morning, he could find no hansom or other conveyance. Learing his valet in charge of the luggage, the Earl wandered out in the cold morning along Princes-street in search of a con- veyance, but not a cab or vehicle of any kind could be seen. Passing into one of che off streets, Lord Aberdeen met a milk van, and getting the driver to pull up, induced the man to go to the station with him. Mounting the van, Lord Aberdeen returned to the station, and getting the luggage up drove in the milk van to his club.

This declaration on the part of Senator Hama means in other words that he is in favor of the Lodge proposal, which voices the wishes of President Roosevelt with reference to future Philippine legislation, and it is significant to note that as yet no objections from senators have been heard to the Lodge proposal.

When the case was called to-day, Mr Smith said the opium was found on ac cused's promises on Friday, January 8, but accused said that it was put there by others without his knowledge. The evi- dence showed that on Jan. 8 Excise Officer 222 went to the Magistracy and swore cer- tain information.
