Senator Sawyer is in the city, He came in last night and says that the only object of his visit is to look after his new house, which is now being painted and decorated inside. He says he is not looking for anything out of the ordinary routine. of Congress this winter. He says Gen. Fairchild would make an excellent pension commissioner, but that he doesn’t think he would accept the ap- pointment, He does not know for certain whether or not Gen. Fairchild would accept,’ but he knows he is not seeking it and that his friends are not seeking it for him. THE FEDERAL OFFICES IN ILLINOIS. Representative Mason of Illinoisis here look- ing after some matters of interest to his constituents, He saw the President at Deer Park yesterday and had a talk with Secretary’ Windom today. He ex- ts now that the candidates for the local offices in Illinois who are recommended by the congressmen in their respective locali- ties will get their appointments about the ist of the month, TALK OF MR, GOFF FOR A CABINET PLACE. Ex-Reprerentative Goff of West Virginia ar- rived at the Ebbitt today but failed to register. There is a renewal of the talk of a place being made for him in the cabinet. It is not quite certain how a vacancy is going to be made for him, but it is pretty certain that when one oc- curs he will be selected to fill it. THE SUPREME COURT VACANCY. The President has been halting for some time between his desire to appoint Attorney General Miller to the supreme bench, and the opposition of Indiana politicians to this selection, The Indiana folks, speaking doubtless by their desires generally think that Miller will not get the appointment, but that it will go to Judge W if to any Indianian. But the President is liable at any time to take the mat- ter in his own hands and appoint Miller. In that event it is practically certain that Goff would become Attorney General. ~ There is some talk. growing probably out of nothing but the agitation the Interior Depart- ment has had through the Tanner episode, of the probability that Mr. Noble will aiter awhile leave the Cabinet. Mr. Goff may go into the Cabinet through a vacancy made in this way. GEN. MERRILL LIKELY TO SUCCEED TANNER. It is generaliy regarded as being as good as certain that Gen. Merrill of Massachusetts will succeed Mr. Tanner. The dispatches from Deer Park indicating that perhaps Gen. Warner has not declined, are not taken seri- ously, because it is known here that the decli- nation was positive and final, ‘This idea is, doubtless, given out to keep the President from being overwhelmed with can- didates for the office. The situation is one now where the office must seek the man, and the President proposes to get as hig a Grand Army man in the place as he can, tever reluctance Gen, Merrill may have about taking the appointment it is not thought that he will aecline it, under the existing circumstances. It isa delicate mat- ter forthe administration to determine just how far the policy of the pension office shall be changed from what it was under Mr. Tanner, and they want a man who will have the entire confidence of the grand army and who, at the same time, will not be under suspicion in other quarters. General Merrill, it is thought, will about fulfill these requirements, f course other candidates will be spoken of ‘until it is generally known that the place has been disposed of. Ex-Commanders-in-Chief Fairchild and Rao andex-Gov. Thomas ©, Fletcher of Missouri are spoken of as possibilities, should it happen that Gen. Merrill should not be appointed. It is practically certain, however, that Gen. — will be the next commissioner of pen- ions, A COMPROMISE PROPOSED In Order to Avert an International Com- Plication—The Boy and the Diplomat. There is trouble brewing between the navy and the diplomatic corps, Ina certain board- ing house in the vicinity of the Arlington dwella naval officer and his son, a bright lit- tle fellow about fifteen years old, who has a great fondness for game fowls, and in the pur- suit of this liking has collected quite a number of very fine roosters which, after the fashion of their kind, are prossessed of strong crowing abilities. Next door livesa member of a for- eign legation, representing one of the most im- portant of the European powers, who is a skilled musician and whose piano is seldom closed or stilled. The crowing of the jame cocks in the next yard disturbs his del- te nature beyond measure, and he recently made a complaint to the lady of the house where the officer resided. He told her that he could no longer endure the nuisance and that if it was not stopped he should complain to Mr. Blaine and have the matter made an inter- national question. The lady, cunning diplo- mat, brought the foreigner and the owner of the ‘offensive fowls together and the former stated his case. Ween he had finished the little fellow thought a minute and then ex- claimed: “I tell you what. If you will shut upon that piano of yours I'll getridof my roosters, Is ita go?” There the mutter rests.

Chicago's Bid for the World’s Fair. GENERAL EUROPEAN NEWS —__ Swindling the Spokane Falls Sufferers. A OHICAGO SCHOOL GIRL ABDUCTED More Testimony in the Ives Case. EVA HAMILTON IN COURT. Her Trial for Assaulting Nurse Donnelly Commenced. May's Layprxo, , Sept, 18.—The court room was crowded this morning with people anxious to hear the proceedings in the case of | Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton, indicted for the atrocious assault upon her child’s nurse, Mary Donnelly,.and to get a glimpse of the now famous principals in the affair. A few unim-| portant cases were heard, and at about 11 o’clock the case of Mrs, Hamilton was called and at about the same time the outer doors were swung open and Mra, Hamilton,the much- talked-of prisoner entered, leaning on the arm of Capt. Perry, her counsel. Immediately following them entered Mrs, Rupp, the proprietress of Noll cottage, and Mary Ann were all shown seats within the rail, Mrs, Hamilton sitting beside her counsel. She looked pale and wan and her face showed evi- dence of the strain of her close continement, Mr, Robt, Ray Hamilton a few minutes later entered the court room and took a seat beside Mrs. Rupp. He did not look toward his wife. The work of selecting a jury was quickly dis- posed of, the full quota ‘being selected in a comparatively short time. Mrs, Hamilton frequently sobbed aloud during the selection of the jury and gave every evidence of hope- Jess despondency, THE TESTIMONY BEGINS. Prosecutor of the Pleas Thompson, after the jury had been empannelled, opened the case for the prosecution and reviewed the details of the assault of Mrs, Hamilton upon the nurse. Dr. Crosby, the first witness called, described the nature of the wound and added that Mrs. Donnelly was now entirely out of danger. Mary Ann Donnelly then was next called. She testified that on the morning of the as- sault she responded to Mrs. Hamilton's call to lock her trunk, Upon reaching the door of the room she saw that Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton had been quarrelling, and that Mr, Hamilton's shirt bad been torn off. At Mr. Hamilton's request she went in search of a policeman, but could not find one. She returned to the room when Mrs. Hamilton seized her by the throat and called her a vile name. The witness grappled with Mrs, Hamilton and demanded that she with- | draw the epithet. Mrs. Hamilton then threw a bottle at her. Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton then Srappled and the witness stood in the door, which was half open, when Mrs. Hamilton sud- denly sprang toward her and drove the knife into her side. The knife was here shown the witness and identified. Continuing the witness said: Mrs. | Hamilton is of a quarrelsome disposition, bat I had never bad any serious quarrel with’ her previous to the stabbing. Nothing of importance was developed in the cross examination of the nurse by Capt. Perry, and at its couciusion the court adjourned uniil 2 o'clock. —_—_—_ CHEATING THE SUFFERERS. Members of the Spokane Falls Common Council Appropriate Relief Funds. Spokane Faxts, W.T.. Sept. 98.—The names of Sidney D.

An investigation re- vealed the fact that several thousand dollars’ worth of the supplies bad been stolen and con- verted into money.

Lonpon, Sept. 18,—Three thousand dock la- borers assembled outside of the gates of the Victoria dock this morning and demanded the dismissal of the “Blacklegs” employed there, otherwise they would not return to work. The directors of the dock company refused to com- ply with the demand and called upon the police to protect the men at work. A strong force of lice appeared on the dock and the “Black- gs” are working under their protection. Work on the docks is steadily assuming its normal = Fewer non-union men are em- ployed y than yesterday, owing in a great measure to the fact that many of them are join- ing the union, and the returned strikers are much quieter.

Testimony as to a Big Loan on C., H. and D. Stock as Collateral. New Yorm, Sept. 18.—Henry 8 Ives was again early in court this morning. Ata few minutes after 10 o'clock he was in his sc- eustomed place. The lateness of the session last night did not seem to have in any way in- terfered with him, The prosecution will try and finish its case tonight, but Mr. Brook thinks the defense will exhaust at least a week. The first witness to- day was Mr. Henry McGowan, a member of the firm of Hilmers, McGowan & Co. On June 22, 1888, the witness arranged a loan for a Ives & Co. It was for £52,000 sterling. e loan was secured from Kubn, Loeb & Co. The collateral received was 2,500 shares of C..H. & D. common stock. The witness dealt with Ives as the representative of the firm in all deal On cross-examination the witness said he bad known Ives for some time and bad a number of business transactions with him from May, 1886, up to the failure of the firm in 1887. He | Was @ witness in the case in Cincinnati, having | summoned by the prosecution. BUSSELL SAGE ASKED BIM TO Go, Mr. Sage at that time held a loan of the wit- ness’ firm, “Do you remember saying to Mr. Ives that you had to testify or old Sage would call in Your loan, which was past due?” counsel asked. “I don’t remember. That loan is held over you yet, is it not?” “Yea.” Witness said he knew Julius Dexter, presi- dent of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton | road, and that gentleman had visited him since the indictments were found. } W. Hilmers, McGowan’s partner, took the stand and testified that he made the negotia- | tions with Kuhn, Loeb & Co. for the loan of £52.000. .The loans, he said, were subsequently paid by’ Ives & Co. Ad-| ditional testimony on poiut was given | by other attaches of the banking house, and Wm. A. Merrick, a clerk for Drexel, Morgan & Co., testitied to the receipt of 2,500 shares of stock offered by Ives & Co, as security for the | joan of £52,000, MR, SAMSON WAS TEEN RECALLED, | but most of his time was spent in identifying stocks and the entries made by tim on their receipt, ‘The last entries showed that the loan had been entirely paid on May 4, 1887. Johu Wilson, a clerk in the bank of the state of | New York, testi that his duties were to run | the ledger between G and Q. He kept an ac- | count of the deposits of ives & Co. His book | Was presented in evidence, but was not admit- | ted, as it was not the book of original entry. | The witness testified, however, that THE CHECK OF IVES AND CO. FOR THE BIG LOAN | | was deposited in the bank aad duly recorded. j On cross-examination the witness said he did | | mot remember receiving the check, as be | | handled two or three hundred in a day, | Mr. brooke then moved to strike out Wil- | | Son’s testimony, but the motion was denied, | ; The next ~ witness, Edward Burns, | | cashier of the American exchange national | bank, testified that bis bank was | registrar of stock of the Cincinnati, Hamilton | aud Dayton railroad, He kept book of eniries ior registration of stock for that road and ex- hibited the book which contained eutries from August 26, 1346, to June 11, 155%. The first | certilicates Were registered on the former date. | WHEN THE FIRST NEW CERTIFICATES WERE REG- { ISTERED | | by the bank the cancelled certificates were not | {called for; nor did the bank cancel any of | jthe old stock until April 14, 1887. |Erom that time on the bank can- celled old certificates when new stock was j issued. 1n the spring of i8s7, Ives was asked for the old — certificates. This was jabout April 14th. Burns called at the jollice aud asked both Woodruff and |Ives for the oid certificates and insisted | upon having them that day, He went to the | bank and waited there until nearly half-past | | Wo'clock that might, when all the certiticates | he had demanded were handed in.
