THE BROOKLYN FIRES Evidence That Hugh Miller is the Incendiary, TRUCE OF MAHONE AND LANGSTON. Indians to Be Soon Enlisted as Soldiers. CHICAGO'S HIGH DEATH RATE THE BROOKLYN FIRES. A Very Strong Case Made Out Against Hugh ‘Miller, . Brooxrx, N. ¥., March 26.—Capt. Eason of the second precinctjsubmitted his report today in regard to the evidence against Hugh Miller under arrest on the charge of causing the re- cent tenement house fires. The case against Miller is very strong. One point against him is in regard to the fire in the flats Nos. 129 and 131 Sands street on February 21, where six persons wers burned to death, Miller being seen in that building « few moments prior to the fire breaking out. Miller was also seen coming ont of four tenements, including 146 High and 172 Pros- ect streets, just as the fires were discovered in jose building. Miller is known to bave bought cil on the evening of the fire in 177 Bridgo street, and the paper used to stop np the fire Jarm box fits a hole in a paper found in Mil- ler's pocket. a JUDGE WADDILL 18 RETICENT. But He is Pleased at the Mshone-Langston Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RicnMoND, Va., March 26.—Ex-Congressman Edmund Waddill, who is represented to have been the leading spirit in bringing about the alleged reconciliation between Mahone and Langston, while cautiously reticent, is evi- dently quite well pleased with the prosffect of seeing the warring factions of his party in Vir- ginia brought together. He says he has always been a peacemaker and believed that “harmony could’ be secured if proper steps were made. fe will not admit that he was in Washing- ton at the time of the meeting between Ma hone and Mr. Langston, as described in Tae Bran. Judge Waddill was asked if Mahone and Langston favor Mr. Harrison's renomination, but he was reticent. The reconciliation between Mahone and Langston is accepted here as a certain indica- tion that Mahone io preparing to take an active part in politics in. the com- ing presidential campaign. His joining hands th ton, the man he has so bitterly denounced and to defeat whose political aspira- tions in the fourth district Mahone has spent 80 much money, is accepted as an indication that the combination means a concentration upon # presidential candidate. It is understood from very good authority that Mr. Langston does not expect the new cir- cuit judgeship and has no idea that he could et it if he were an aspirant. The same authority lieves that Langston is not unfavorable to ex-Congreseman Waddill’s claims for the posi- tion. —— oo ENLISTING THE INDIANS. Orders Issued by Gen. Merritt for Their Re- ception as Soldiers. Sr. Lovis, March 26.—Orders have beon issued from Gen. Merritt's headquarters in this city to begin enlisting Indians in the reguler army. In this the department of the Missouri, troop L of the fifth cavalry and and company J, twelfth infantry are to be composed wholly of Indians, recruited from the Cheyennes, Arapahoes and Kiowas, and will be assigned to duty at Fort Sill. Troop L seventh cavalry and company I seventh infantry, recruited from _ the same tribes, are to be assigned to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and company I four- teonth infantry, filled from the seme tribes and the Comanches will be assigned to Fort Supply, Indian Territory, for duty. The Indians are to be enlisted for five years and receive the same pay as the whites and negroes now in the service. penhecer ete CHICAGO'S DEATH RATE, It is Greatly Increased by the Prevalence of the Grip. Cnrcago, March 26.—Because of the grip, which prevails to an alarming extent here, the death rate is increasing, and the undertakers and coffin manufacturers have all that they can do to keep up with the rush of business. The department of health was notified of 804 deaths within the city limits last week. That is about 100 more than during any one week of the gri epidemic a year ago. But this week's mortel- ity will disclore a worse condition of the public health if the second half corres; the first half of the week's death rol plea Dticcinale CALIFORNIA’S SCANDAL, Adjournment After Intrusting the Bribery ‘Case to the Attorney General.

The resolutions’ referred to the judiciary committee of the senste, directing it to place before the grand jury any evidence it might adduce with reference to the alleged bribery in connection with the United States senator- ship, were reported back by that committee amended in such a way that the whole matter is placed in the hands of the attorney general, the latter being allowed free scope in the matter. ‘The senate at once adopted the resolu- tions as amended. a THERE 18 SOME HITCH. A Rumor Regarding the Proposed Visit of the Canadian Commission. Cutcago, March 96.—A special dispatch from Ottawa, Ont., says: There has evidently been some hitch in the projected trip of Sir Charles ‘Tupper and his colleagues to Washington, and it is believed that it is to the refusal of New- foundland refusing to jointly negotiate with Canada for reciprocity with the United States that the delay may be attributed. It is however, from a reliable quarter that a meeting of the cabinet isto be held to discuss the matter, when some definite i y be decided upon. Sir Charles’ view of what reciprocity should be | and th limite to which | the dominion govesn- ment is prepared to join the negol tioas are somewhat variance. Sir Charles’ idea is more liberal in its scope and application than the view of his colleagues. Sir ‘iirten, during the recent campaign, while in Nova Scotia assured the electors of that prov- ince that whatever arrangement might be made for the reciprocal exe of commodities between Canada and the United States there would be no modification in the duty imposed upon bituminous coal imported from the United learned that this States.

An Exciting Contest Among Railroad Work- men in Denver. Denver, Cot., March 26.—One of the most exciting scenes ever witnessed in Denver o0- curred at 15th and Champa streets yesterday when the Denver and Suburban railroad at- tempted to cross the Denver tramway tracks. The latter company appeared in the field with an armed force of men, all their cars were crowded to the crossing, and it was necessary to place fifty policemen ‘on the corner to pre- vout bloodshed. ‘The men foughtand tumbled around in the mud, while fully 5,000 people stood yelling and hooting at the tramway offi- cers for endeavoring to obstruct the opposition company. The struggle lasted three hours. Sena s Vag BOUNTIES FOK VETERANS. Michigan Will Distribute Over a Million Dol- lars Among Her Old Soldiers, Laxsrxa, Mrcmtoax, March 26.—A good many Michigan soldiers received war bounties from the state. A good many others did not. Sev- eral legislatures have talked in @ des ultory way about equalizing the thing and paying nll the veterans — mor- ally entitled to bounties. It remained for the present legislature to set about the matter in"earnest. A communication was re- cently sent to Attorney General Ellis asking if in his opinion the state could now issue more bonds for the purpose of paying bounties. ‘The attorney general replies that the state can still issue bonds to the amount of $694,000, that amount of the total issue of bonds author- ized in war times haying never been issued, and in addition the state can devote to the payment of bounties the $500,000 which it will soon receive from the general government as its thare of the’ direct tax levied during the war and now about to be refunded. T! course will probably be adopted and over #1,- 000,000 be distributed among the veterans who yolunteered carly in the war and received noth- ing from the state, while those enlisting in 1864 were paid liberal bounties. siden ocambee SELLING TO REALIZE, In Consequence Wheat Dropped in Chicago Today. Crrcaco, March 26.—There was a general liquidation in wheat this morning in anticipa- tion of better weather tomorrow and conse- quently lower prices, A decline of over lcent in both May and July was noted. May opened firm at $1,033, ad- vanced 3s, but as everybody was trying to sell out the price soon declined to 1.02}. By lt o'clock it had advanced } from tin range in the fluctuations of the July option closely followed that of May. ‘The most excitement was in corn, which, up to 11 o'clock, declined over three cents for both options. This i up in ices was caused by the num- r of selling orders. Oats partook of the decline, falling off about two cents in the same time. In provisions, which opened slightly lower than yesterday's closing, there was a drop in prices, followed Inter by an advance, — brought things up to about the opening ure. —_—__ ‘The Myra Clark Gaines Will Case.

The triumvirate of Mahone, Waddill and mn, of which you speak, presents a re- merkable’ combination ‘The tee former have | ‘been, perhaps, the most destroying of agents in ® political sense that this country has ever known. Mshone com his career bri out Walker for governor irginia against and the new ods he adopted were so effective that he moth P wes brought rery close to the democratic party im the reconstruction period. The democratic Barty wae then in nged supremacy. readjuster movement was inaugurated and it swept the state by 80.000 majorit; Mahone the readjusters, and | two years later y that party) was overwhelmed. He entered the United States Senate a “better Democrat then Ben Hill,” but moved to the Republican side. The combina- tion of readjusters and republicans now held control in Virginia He suggested | such violent measures in the state | legixiature that the __— rebellion —of the big four stopped all legislation and upon appeal to the people the democratic party came back into power. Since then the only republican victory in the state was in the elec tion of 1584, when he abandoned the contest and the state was carried by 22,000 majority and the republicans secured six Congressmen. The Kreatest republican defeat recorded in twenty- fix years was the last election when he was can- didate for governor and was defeated by 43.000 majority. His home wasin the Petersburg district which on the day he joined the repub- lican party gave 8,000 republican majority and steadily from the days of reconstruction has sent a member of Congress. A few years ago Langston, a discontented republican, was imported a8 a democratic missionary’ and given office by the demo- cratic state government. Between him and Mahone ey we sneceeded in chang- ing the 8,000 republican majority to 3,000 democratic and probably in all the political literature of this country there is nothing to be compared for invective and charges of dislogalty to the pamphlets and pos- ters used by these leaders in bringing on democratic victory. And there is perhaps nothing more offensive today to four- fifths of republican voters of Virginia than the assertion on the pari of Mahone that he con- trols the white vote or that of Langston that he can deliver the colored vote of the state. Judge Waddill’s principal ap} connection was in his threat during hi that deterred Langston from entering his ova should possibly have divided the b- ‘ou shoul ibly have the repub- Hoans into four rather than three parties, mak- ing them Mahone and anti-Mahone, Langston and anti-Langston, but tyo might have been better—the combine and the masses. You are certainly in error in ing that the Presi- dent of the United States or any friend is was cognizant of this character. If the meeting was ever held it was simply a combi- nation to secure offices. These men have no idea of organizing and again carrying the state of Virginia. President Harrison is too astute a politician to allow his for- tunes to pass under the deadly shade of the Mahone influence. He remembers the embar- rassment that confronted Grant's friends—even at thy Chicago convention. The fatal friend- ship and trade with readjustment that de- stroyed the prospects of Arthur; the mid- night circular against Blaine that made it’ impossible for the _ Republicans of Virginia to cast their vote for Sherm: have not escaped his notice. He understands methods that have crushed the spirit of the party in Virginia and periodically have aroused the “indignation of the whole north and that the fifteen votes’. which make the most important break toward his nomination, came as the most violent pro- test against the organization that refused to allow counties to elect their chairmen on a robably # republican majority in . The new development will tend to its increase. The President and his adminis- tration are led favorably and whoever expects that the ‘triumvirate’ to whom you fer will deliver the state of Virginia or ever again cast ite vote in the national convention is far on the road to political madness. ‘ion of similar testimony, though perhaps not TAULBEE’S DYING STATEMENT. It Was Not Signed by Him, but Notes Made by Mis Brother, ARGUMENT BY THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AxD COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENSE 48 TO [TR AD- MINSIBILITY—THE JUDGE FINALLY DECIDES TO ALLOW ITS INTRODUCTION. ‘This afternoon in the Kincaid trial Mr. Wil- fon said that the defense wanted time to sub- mit counter testimony to that offered by the | government concerning Taulbee’s condition | when he made his dying declaration. Mr. Cole at once objected, saying that he | had no objection to the time being allowed if | the defense hada right to it, but that he did | no? think they had right. The court sustained the objection. Mr, Wilson then made the formal request of the court. The court asked if Judge Wilson knew of any case where such testimony was admitted. Mr. Wilxon thought he could cite the admis- in case of dying declarations. The court refused to admit thet sort of test:- mony, declaring that to do so wou!d be aubver- sive of all the rules of practice in such cases. Judge Wilson said that Le merely wanted the ruling of the court aud the exception to go on the record. He said that he wanted to put Mr. Simons, to whom the Just witness had referred, on the stand to prove that Mr. Taul- bee, after the time this dying declaration was made, expressed hope of recovery. THE REQUEST REFURED. The court declined to permit the testimony and asked if Judge Wilson thought that the dying de Jaration would be affected by the fact that the dying man afterward expressed hope of recovery. Judge Wilson said he certainly aid. Mr. Cole then proposed to tak tothe dying declaration. Ju Mr. Grosvenor objected, stating that if the statement was in writing it would declare its own contents. NOT SIGNED BY THE DYING BAN. Mr. Cole said that it was not in writing—that he xtatement sought to be “ubmitied asa dying statement. ‘The court called the district attorney's atten- tion to the fact that the evidence submitted had not disclosed the circumstances surrounding the making of the statement. Mr. Grosvenor urged that to be a dying declaration, the statements mast hw emt made by the man under the impresgion that he was then dying: not that he would die at some time in the future, having time meanwhile for Tepentance nfter making the statement. En- glish authority sustaining this view was cited Mr. Cole antagonized this theory of the ies of om dying —declara- tion. that "the of impending death was without the dying man, necessarily lieving that he was at that moment in « dying condition. Judge Wilson contended that a dying decla- tation mast be made under the very shadow of ieath. Dr, Taulbee was asked by the court if his brother was under the impression that he could not recover when he made the declarations. Witness said that the wounded man believed when he made the statement that he would die; that he could not recover. Witness had told him that he could not recover, but had not told him how long he might live. THE STATEMENT ADMITTED. The court then decided to admit the state- ment as a dying declaration. doers DIED AT THE HOSPITAL, H. H, Steele Does Not Recover From Wis Overdose of Chioral. Mr. H. H. Stecle, who was taken to Provi- dence Hospital last night in @ comatose condi- tion from an overdose of chloral, died at 10:80 o'clock this morning at the hospital and the body was removed to the morgue. The deceased, it has been ascertained, having been refused by Dr. Cobb, went to another store and so insisted that the poison wns for experimental purposes that it was given to him and he returned to the Ashton.

It may be that some of these days the oft- repeated story of great coricessions to be made by the Chinese government to American capi talists for the purpose of founding a system of national banksin the flowery kingdom will come to be regarded as nothe one of the evidences of immortality. That story will not die. The Chi- nese government has killed it, as far as an of- ficial denial can do it, the Chinese legislation in this city has officiated at its interment more times than a few, butitwillbe notbelaid. This time it has made its reappearance for its cus- tomary little ghost dance in rather a round- about way. The legation hes just been advised by the consu! at Ban Francisco that a Chinese paper in that city had published aspecial telegram from Chicago to the effect that a duly accredited attache of the Chinese legation was there for ing an excellent canvasser. The family formerly lived in the _neighbor- hood of Rockville and removed to Georzetawn many years ago. The deceased was educatad in the Georgeiown schools and_at Georgetown College. He was of some literary ability and for # time immediately after the war was con: with some of thesunday papers. Rather eccentric in some things, being well up in the literature of the day and full of anecdote. he was a genial companion, but for his drinking habits he would bave made his mark in the world.

The charge now pending against him is housebreaking, and the case was set for trial in the Police Court today, but owing to the ab- sence of Martin's Counsel, Mr. Earle, who is attending court in Bouth Carolina, the ease went over until next Wednesday The defendant was in court this morning and Lawyer J.

The President, who had beard the few weconda, and cere there would doubt heave been more trouble than there was. Martin did not talk very plainly on that night on account of luis dranken condition, and when the President made the anxious inquiry “What the trouble?” one of the officers responded that there was a member of the “Mafia” break- ing in, taking him for an Italmn on account of his voice. ‘TIED BY THE PRESIDENT. President Harrison upon henring this and seeing the difticulty the men had in straggling with the powerfal young fellow, procured a rope—he ent away one of the ropes that fas tened a curtain—and with the officers’ asmst- ance bound Martin securely.

The President, it is said, docs not think Mar- tin's conduct should go ‘without any punish- Presi- ment. It is asserted, howover, that dent is not desirous of having bim sent to Prison, and for that reason a charge of asaault- ing Policeman Kenney will be tiled if bix eoan- ve! will agree to enter # plea of guilty, with the understanding that a fine will be imposed. Such action will be acceptable to the govern- ment, and it ouly waite for eounsel for the detendant to accept wich terms before that course is adopted.

News of arrival in San Francisco on his way thither has not yet been received here and the presumption is that he bas stopped at Chicago and is being used to forward the scheme. This belief is strength- ened by the fact that he was known to be in communication, before he left this city, with the man who was 1 origi- nal promoter and presumably the sole bentley of the scheme. The members of the legation are extremely wroth to think that they should in any way be brought in to sup- a scheme that they have so often done ir best to explode. “Mr. Tu is not a repre- sentative of this legation nor has he —— dentials,” said one of the attaches to the re- ter.
