Latest Telegrams to The Slap THE RESULT IN 1OWA, Nothing but Governor Gone Democratic and the Legislature Safe. Carcaao, Nov. 9.—A special to the Inter- Ocean from Des Moines, Iowa, says: Complete revised returns of the vote on governor give Boies 5,826 plurality. Partial returns from a number of counties give the vote on other state officers and the figures show that A. N. Payner, republican can- didate for lieutenant governor, runs about eighty votes per county ahead of of Hutchison. This ratio indicates his election, Jndge Givens’ vote is 100 per county ahead of Hut- chison; Mr. Sabin 120 and Commissioner Smith 125, ‘These figures give a reasonable basis for the conclusion that the extent of the calamity in Iowa is the election of a demo- cratic governor. The senate will stand 28 re- publicaus and 22 of opposition; the house 51 re- publicans, 48 democrats and one in doubt. —— THE DEVOURING ELEMENT.

THE SALOON KEEPER'S STORY. Archibald Cameron, keeper of a saloon on Lincoln avenue, testified as follows: “Do you know John Kunz, one of the de- fendante?” “Yes, I have known him since the 1st of De- cember.” “Did you see John Kunz in your saloon in the month of April of this year?” “Yes. [y was some time around election, but I couldu’t say whether the week after elec- tion or whether it was soon after election,” ~-Was any one in company with him?” “Detective Coughlin.” “What time of the day was it they came to your saloon ?” “It was in the evening.” “Was any one ise there at the time ?” “Yea, sir; a party by the name of John Dunn, a plumber.” “Can you state what was said and done while you were there by Kunz or Coughitn?” ‘The defense objected to this testimony as irrelevant. ‘The state attorney—‘‘Well, if the gentlemen wishes it I will state my object. Itis for the | purpose of showing, md for that purpose alone, that Coughlin and Kunz were associated at that time and that they were up in the neighborhood of Lake View, and I propose to show it by the conversation of Kunz there in that saloon.” The court—“I will let it go in, the jury un- standing that it is introduced solely for the purpose of showing intimacy between the two men. “State what was said by Coughlin or Kunz.” “In fact, I did not pay any attention to what they were saying. They came inand Mr. Dunn was there, aud Kunz introduced Coughlin to Dunn.” «What did he say when he introduced him?” “He said “This is a friend of mine.’” The cross-examination was brief and unin- | teresting. Dr. James K. Egbert, county physician, tes- F | tified that at the time of tho autopsy he re- moved two locks of hair from the head of Dr. Cronin and that it was put into a jar contain- ing alcohol. He also gave a portion of it to Police Captain Schuettl: See Like Old Times. Cnevenxe, Wro., Nov. 9.—Thos.

New York, Nov. 9.—The weakness of last evening in the stock market continued to pre- vail this morning and first prices were gener- ally from 3< to 3g per cent lower than last night's figures, the grangers showing the largest declines, There was very little busi- ness in the market outside of St. Paul, Atchi- sou, Lackawanna, Missouri Pacific, sugar re- fineries and lead trust, even Reading being comparatively neglected. There was demand enough for stocks in the early trading, however, to advance quotations fractionally, and Atchi- son rove 3¢ and Lackawanna 9, while lead was svecially strong and advanced from 20%; to 2234 and Tennessee coal from 6354 to 654. ‘The bear pressure was then applied and prices receded, most of the list losing the early im- provement. while the market became much more active. No specially weak point was un- covered, however, though the ngers led in the downward movement and all showed frac- tional losses from the opening figures. Swineford Must Pay.

Superintendent Porter’s Annual Report —What He Has Done and What He Proposes to Do. The report of Robert P. Porter, superin- dent of census, to the Secretary of the Interior abont the operations of the census office since June 1, 1889, which has been submitted, ex- Plains in detail the vast amount of work that has already been dono preliminary to the active ficld work that will begin next year. The arrangements that have been made for the ac- commodation of the office employes, whose number will increase to 2,000 and then decline, provided for an expansion of office room as itis needed, and then for its contraction as less of it is required, so that the expense for rent shall never be greater than the utmost economy warrants. Of the 210 employes 27 have passed a civil-service examination, 4 hnve been exam- ined by special agents, 11 (except exempts) were in the tenth census, 3 kexcepe exempts) were transferred from other branches of the govern- ment service, 69 were examined by the census office board, 22 have had no examination and 74 bave been exempt from examination as spe- cial agents, chiefs of division, statistical ex- perts, watchmen, laborers, assistant messen- gers, and some others. Thirty of the 187 applicants who were examined by the census office board of examiners failed to pass. The report says: “The method of ex- amination inaugurated by the office and ap- proved by the Secretary of the Interior will not only bring the best work and leave tho superintendent free to act with great rapidity when the demand is greatest for clerks, but is in the line of practical civil service reform.” SEVERAL IMPORTANT REPORTS of the eleventh census will be ready for pub- lication during the fall and winter of 1890, and the superintendent of census makes a sug- gestion which, if adopted by Congress, will secure the publication of the volumes speedily after they are ready for the printer. He would avoid the delay which accompanied the printing of the tenth census volumes in the government printing office by having the volumes of this census printed by private contract, or by hav- ing the census office print and publish them itself. The purchase at a small cost of the census printing establishment, now in active operation in the office, will save thousands of dollars, he says, and expedite the work to an extent that would hardly be credited by those unacquainted with the working of a census office. ENUMERATION OF POPULATION. For the purpose of the enumeration of pop- ulation a division of the country into super- visors’ districts has been made and the result printed in census bulletia No. 1, The work preliminary to the enumeration is well in hand, and aconsiderable amount of it isalready done. ‘The population schedule has been prepared and in addition to the information called for by the tenth census schedule will ascertain what language is spoken by every person 10 years of age and upward, how long adult males of foreign birth have been in the United States and whether they are naturalized, how many children each married woman has had and how many of them are living, and the classi- fication by race will include mulattoes, quad- roons and octoroons, The classification of occupations will be more complete than ever before. VITAL STATISTICS. Owing to improvements in the records of some of the states and to the active co-opera- tion of 80,000 physicians, to whom registers have been sent. the vital statistics will be more complete than it was possible to make them in the census of 1880, Ainong the important new features of this work is a special study of the Lath and death ratea and of the principal causes of death in twenty-four of our largest cities; a special study of the influence of race upon fecundity and mortality, and a special study of the relations of occupation to death rates and to particular causes of death. The question of collecting the statistics of pauperism and crime has not yet been defi- nitely determined, though an attempt will be made, the report states, to follow certain sug- gestions made to the oficer by Mr. Frederick H, Wines, who had charge of this work in 1880. WEALTH, DEBT AND TAXATION. Under the head of wealth, debt and tax- ation, the statistics of which inthe last census were collected under the direction of Mr. Porter, the report states that comprehensive tables are being prepared which will show the financial condition of every county, city, town and village at the end of each fiscal year since 1880, ‘Tho assessed valuation and financial condi- tion of counties in 1889-90, as compuredt with 1880, will be given se oly by counties and states, and the com sed val- uation and financia will go back as far as 1859. A table of all sources of rev- enue in cities and large towns of 5,000 population will be given, In the matter of securing full particulars of local governments apart from fi- hance a comprehensive series of investigations is now being completed which it is believed will cover the entire ground, A report of the public indebtedness, state, county and munici- pal, for cach year of the decade ending 1390, will be included. The work of the division in charge of this work is so well advanced that the results for the nine years ending 1889 will be published next suzamer. i Owing to the great cost of collecting by the direct method the actual recorded indebted- ness of private corporations and individ (nearly equal to the entire amount appropriated for censtis purposes), as well as other diffi- culties, Superintendent Porter states that he has had some local and preliminary inquiri instituted in the states of Mlinois, lowa, New York and Massachusetts, and within a short time the results of this investigation will be given to the public in a census bulletin, connection with this inquiry the superintendent calls attention to the fact that resolutions have been passed by PROMINENT LABOR ORGANIZATIONS in various parts of the country asking? thatan inquiry be made as to the percentage of people in this country who occupy their own farms and homes, and what percentage are teuants, and of those occupying their own farms and homes what proportion have their property free from debt, and of the farms and homes under mortgage what percentage of the value 1s mortgaged. This line of inquiry, the report states, is not authorized by law, but Mr. Porter says that the office is willing to undcriake the inquiry providing Congress will grant the necessary additional money. CLOSING WORDS. The report gives interesting statements as to the progress made in other divisions, and in conclusion Mr. Porter says that every provision possible has been made for a successful enum- eration of the population, wealth and industry of the United States next June, and that every special inquiry has been started. Many of the important divisions, he says, are now well ad- vanced in their work, and if satisfactory ar- rangements can be made for the prompt publi- cation of the results the superintendent is con- fident that the cleventh census will not only be accurate and will cover all the statistical inves- tigations required by law_ but it will be out on time.

Messrs. Crane and Schade Appear in| Testimony Today in the Trial of Chong the Police Court. Capt. Symons, who swore out warrants against Editor Louis Schade of the Sentine! and John H. Crane, ,the commission merchant, as pub- lished in yesterday's Srar, was at the Police Court this morning. It was understood that the cases would be tried today, but Detective Mattingly had not served the warrants at 9 o'clock. About 11 o'clock he served the war- rants on Editor Schade and accompanied him to the Police Court. Then he started out for Mr. Crane, a THE ALLEGED LIBEL. ° The article which forms the basis of the prosecution, as published in yesterday's Star, is set forth at length in the warrant. It is headed ‘Astounding Disclosures,” and goes to say that “one of the boldest and most fraud- ulent jobs ever imposed upon the inhabitants of this ring-ridden District is that connected with the south pier of the new ‘free bridge.’” ‘The article recites various statements purporting to have been made by Capt. Symons concerning reported injuries resulting to the “south pier” during |e June freshet. The article denies the state- ments which Capt. Symons was quoted as making, alleging that part of the foundations of the pier had been washed away and the pier was sinking or toppling and out of plumb. It goes On to say that “it appears that the motive sor putting in circulation this false report was: First, to exonerate the contractors who re- cently constructed the new iron bridge on the old piers.” Then it is asserted substantially that this iron bridge is an unstable, poorly constructed affair. The name of Mr. Crane was attached to the article. The second warrant, which was sworn out only against Editor Schade, was based on an editorial published in the same edition of tho paper inviting attention to and commenting on Mr. Crane’s article, AN EXAMINATION WAIVED, As soon as Mr. Crane was informed that he was wanted on a charge of criminal libel he went with his counsel, Mr. A. 5. Williams, to the Police Court, where he found the warrant. Mr. Williams remarked that he did not care to take up time fighting a shadow and he would therefore waive an examination. He did not care to read the warrant, he said, because life was too short, The examination being waived Judge Miller sent the case on to the grand jury and fixed bail at 2500. MR. SCHADE ALSO WAIVES EXAMINATION. Mr. R. 8. Davis appeared for Mr. Schade and he also waived an examination, and bail in his case was fixed atthe same amount as in Mr. Crane’s case, Both gentlemen gave the required bail. WHAT MR. SCHADE SA¥s, Mr. Louis Schade. being seen by a reporter of Tur Sran, eaid: “Shortly before I left ona western trip, from which I only returned last night, Mr. Crane handed me the article, which I hastily read over, but finding citatiops from Tue Sran and an interesting historical sketch of the building of the Aqueduct bridge, with figures and facts, Lsaw no redson not to publish it, as I believed it to be in the intercst of the public and as it was simply criticising the official acts of a government ofticer. I cer- tainly had no personal or libelous intent against Capt, Symons, who is personally unknown to ime, The editorial article, for which a second warrant has been issued against me, was written after I had left the city and I never saw it until I read it in the Sentinel at Chicago. It simply calls attention to Mr. Crane's long article and in my opinion dors not contain any libelous matter; but I shall not shirk any responsibility for it after it has appeared in my paper. I think this matter concerns every citizen of the District. Public officers must allow their oificial acts to be criticized. If any wrong has been done by Mr. Crane in his state- ment f shall certainly make the amende honor- able. But that has first to be shown, as Iam not going to be frightened by any suits.” Mr. Crane Upon the Libel Suit. To the Editor of Tz Eventxe Star. Tue Sran of yesterday contains the an- nouncement that Capt. Thomas W. Symons has Sworn out a warrant for the arrest of Mr. Louis Schade, editor of the Sentinel, and the under- signed, on a charge of criminal libel, Allow me to say that it isnot my purpose to libel any one, andif Capt. Symons will show that anything Ihave said of him is untrue I will promptly make the amende honorable, giving it the widest publicity possible, With regard to the “toppling picr” article, I beg leave to say that I, with others, have tried in vain for sev- eral months to get an official statement as to whether that pict is out of plumb, and if so, how much, but without success, L have seen two tests made by private parties and cach time this pier wasshown to be plumb— equally as plumb as the one next to it. Now, if it can be shown by competent engineers who are disinterested that this so-called “toppling pier” is from four to seven inches out of plumb, as was stated last summer, then I will publicly retract all that I have said or written that in‘any way reflects on Captain Symons, 60 far as his conncction with this pier is concerned, Kut until this is done I firmly adhere to all that I have said, while at the same time I disclaim any intention to do the captain in- justice. I do not know him, not even by sight. itis with his oficial acts that I+am dealing. ‘Chey are public property and while I live I in- tend to exercise my right as an American citi- zen to criticise the conduct of all officials, whether in the army or out of it.

Jas, T. Wormley has assumed sole propric- torship of Wormicy’s hotel, which was run for so many years successfully by his father. Lee, the Chinaman. In the Police Court yesterday afternoon after Taz Stan's report closed, in the case of Chong Lee, charged with four assaults in per- mitting opium smoking in his laundry, Mr. Shillington contended that an assault implies force upon one side and repulsion or at least want of assent upon the other. It must becom- mitted against the will of the other party. An assault upon a consenting party would bea legal absurdity. He ridiculed the claim of the government that the smokers were incapable of giving legal consent, and claimed that no fraud or misrepresentation was used by the de- fendant. The smokers kuew exactly what they were getting and took the drug with full knowl- edge of its character and effect. 48 OPIUM SMOKER FOR NINE YEARS. The first witness called was a young man, giving his name as Thomas Wyatt, who was in the joint at the time of the raid. He testified that he has been smoking opium for nine years. He has only been in Washington three weeks and has smoked at Chong Lee's several times. “Hitting the pipe,” he said, “has an exhilriat- ing effect on him. He frequently smoked from 50 cents to $2 worth of opium a day and did not think itinjured him. Witness did not think that Chong Lee had ill treated him by permit- ting him to smoke the opium. THE DISTRICT CHEMIST A WITNESS. District Chemist Richardson testified that he had analyzed the opium found in Chong Lee's Place. He found it contained seven per cent morphine. He could not say what effect the smoking would have, but he thought the same amount taken internally would kill a person. NOT AS BAD AS CIGARETTES. The next witness was a young man named Warwick, who gave his name as George H. Jones, He testified that he had been smoking opium for seven years and did not think the ef- fect was as bad as was produced by cigarettes, Mr. Armes said that the evidence of the chemist had taken him by surprise and at his suggestion the case went over until todaw. en the trial was resumed this afternoon Dr. Hickling was called as a witness and gave testimony describing the disastrous effects of Hig smoking. An habitual smoker without his opium, the doctor said, is the most miser- able creature imaginable; sometimes becomes a raving maniac. A dose of the drug will soon restore him to his normal condition. When the habit is once formed it cannot be given up without the assistance of a skillful physician. ‘The witness Wyatt was recalled and told the court that eight years ago, when he began smoking opium, he had a severe cough. The cough has now left him, The witness said that the drug has not affected his mental condition; his memory is good, his appetite excellent and his digestive organs in first-class condition. A MEDICAL OPINION AS TO THE “ASSAULT.” Judge Miller stated the charge and asked the doctor if he thought the giving of the opium by Chong Lee to Wyatt, did him more harm than it did good, “I think,” answered the doctor, “that it would have been more of an assault to have refused than to give him the drug.” riddle tation DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, THE LIABILITY OF CHURCH PROPERTY. In the assessment for the condemnation of land for alley in 1873, the property of St. Joseph's orphan asylum, there was a charge of $76.86 put against ‘it which was never paid. A lien certificate was therefore issued to Jesse B._ Wilson, who still holds it. Recently Mr. Wilson ina letter to the special assessment division required them to satisfy the lien ae collection of the assess- ment. It has been held that a church was not exempt from liability for land con- demned for alleys; that such charge was mot covered by the case in which church property was exem t from taxes and assessment. Several days ago Mr. Wm. Oscar Roome, chief of the division, wrote to the Commissioners for instruc- tions, The matter was referred to Attorney Riddle, who decides that if St. Joseph's is a public charity and has no land in excess of rea- sonable use it is exempt.
