Albany, N. Y., July 16.—Irvin Ward- man, editor of the New York Press, who was summoned to answer in re- gard to an article in that paper inti- mating that “boodle” and corruption were being used to ~“secure’ “Justive Hooker’s acquittal, was a witness in that case before the joint session cf the legislature. Mr. Wardman was yuestioned by Senator Brackett, chair- man of the judiciary committee. He said he was unable to state who was in Judge | the auther of the objectionable article, since he was out of town when the article was writien and he diq, not in- quire the writer's name after receiv- ing the subpoena. Mr. Wardman de- clined to give the names of persons who had given his paper information which led its editors to expect that “nothing would come” of the Hooker trial, explaining that to do so would violate the ethics of his profession. | Mr. Wardman persisted in his refusal to answ ang the joint assembly, by a vote of 96 to 23, directed the witness to answer. r..

COURTS PUBLIC APPROVAL. Secretary Bonaparte Tells Why He * Refused Passes. Baltimore, July 15.—Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte made a statement during the day in reference to his re- fusal to accept railroad transportation. “My declining to avail myself of s sent me was not intended as a reflection either on the railroads whose officers tendered 1 me this courtesy or on other public Is whose opinion on this subject imay differ from mine. "I recognize fuily that many highly estimable and altogether upright men In public life can see no objection to the acceptance of free passes. I think otherwise, and without criticising oth- ers I must act for myself and on my, own convictions. I have always thought it wise and right for a public man in a government like ours to seek the approval of public opinion when it does not contradict the promptings of his own conscience, and I believe pubtic opinion anproves the course I have taken in this respect.” WOULD BURY SEGTARIANISM.

Berlin, substance of the staten «¢ Stockholm te the effeet ~erman-Swedish al- liance was s¢ .usly contemplated was submitted to the foreign office here during the day and the authoritative statement was made that the question of an alliance between Germany and Sweden had never come before the foreign. office, nor had it been dis- cussed (o the slightest extent. Of course the foreign office could not deny that Emperor William and King Oscar had spoken of an alliance during their interview at Gefle, because the sub- jects of their conversation are not known here. The. German government's policy, as the Associated Press is informed, is one of complete aloofness—almost of indifference. It'is expected here that as a result of the meeting of King Os- car and Emperor William Germany will be described in some countries as taking undue interest in Scandinavian affairs and as seeking for a way to in- fluence a settlement. Such an idea is disavowed in advance. SECRETARY TAFT ON BOARD: Steamship Manchuria Arrives at Ha: waiian Capital. July Secretary of War Paft and party ved during the day on the steamer Manchuria.

Witte's appointment as chief Russian peace plenipotentiary was announced during the day in the Official Messenger in the following words: “Gwi ‘w,{hg.sm'jgus:iums _which 100 Vierr ‘on IS arivar in St. Petersburg, which made it im- possible for him to familiarize him- self at short notice with the consid- erable material connected with the ne- gotiations, his majesty has been pleas- ed to appoint the president of the committee of ministers, M. Witte, tog the post of plenipotentiary. Spontaneously all parties recognize that M. Witte's selection makes for a successful termination of the peace negotiations. The mere fact that the emperor at last yielded to the pres- sure for Witte’s appointment is ac- cepted as being a complete assurance that his majesty is sincerely determin- ed to end the conflict and make peace if a possible basis is obtainable. Every infiuence which championed M. ‘Witle was for peace, while on the con- trary in every instance those who opposed were for a prolongation of the struggle. France strongly urged him for the post, but the main credit for M. Witte's selection belongs to Foreign Minister Lamsdorff, who never ceased o press for his selection. The- papers here with.one voice hail Witte's selection with intense satisfaction. Even the Novoe Vremya, which has not believed that an honorable peace: is possible, seems willing to trust the issue in M. Witle's hands. The St. Petersburg Gazette dwells especially on the confidence with which his appoiniment will inspire the Tokm government, where M. Witte's opposition to whole policy of com- niercial and m; ry adventure in Man- “MLA churia and Korea is well known. SATISFACTORY TO JAPANESE. Pleased With Ivi. Witte’s Appointment as Envoy.
