There were some hisses, but the convention plainly im sympathy with the spirit of zhe Tesolutions, Mr. Thomas F. Keenan of Boston arose, amid cries of “Don't kick,” to offer an amendment. He was at first declared out of order. but the ery of ““Fair play” being raised the ‘chairman decided that Mr. Keenan could offer his resolution as an amendment to the committee's report, as foliows: “Ke- solved, That the democracy of Museachusetts, in convention bere assembled, heartily recog- nize the sterling worth and grand work of Hon. David Lennett Hill in support of those true democratic doctrines which have preserved the empire state of New York and the banner commonwealth of the democracy of the na- tion, ard that in biy devotion and unyieldin, patriotism und loyalty to the cause of go xovernment, the people find inspiration for the futurs wellare and prosperity of the country so dear to ull trae American freemen.” Hon. John E. Russell said be wae personally | rexponsible for the style of the resolutions and he objected to the interpolation of a stump speech into them in favor of any man. Ex-Kepresentative Moreland of Woburn be- gan by saying: “Iam ademocrat.” Wuile he had every confidence iu Mr. Cleveland be did not believe that the democratic party was de- pendent for success upon one candidate only, and he closed by speaking of the pride of the young democracy. David B. Hill, Mir. Powers of Springfield also spoke in sup- ort of Mr. Hill. Mr. Charles S. Hamlin of rookline followed with an eloquent eulogy of Mr. Cleveland. Gen. Collins was the next speaker. He raid until the 2ist of June he was fur the demo- cratic party. There was but one Cleveland and but one Hill, butthere wereseven million demo- crats. If he went to the national convention he should go unbound. “by adupting the amendment yousingle outa man from another state and by the bril- liant young governor of Massachusetts and you pass by Bowes and Palmer and all the rest.” Mr. Keenan said he did not wish to cast any reflection upou Gov. Russell, and therefore be withdrew his amendment. The resolutions were then adopted, with sev- eral dissenting voices. The resolutions reaffirm the platform of the state couventious of 189) and 1891, declare that the limitations of taxation must be jealously guarded and condemn the republican tendency | to centralization. —_—— + = LITIGATION AND MURDER, Samuel Clarke of Toledo Shot Down by Geo.

Witness told Hersey he desired to render his constituents the best service possible. and, of course, never expected to receive any compensation for the work and would not have permitted itfor a mo- ment. If anything has occurred which has resulted in the abuse by his secretary of the courtesies extended to members of Congress he was free to say he was very sorry and knew nothing of it. He never had any knowledge that Hersey was using his name for his personal ends and never authorized him to 80 use it. ABOUT DISCRIMINATING CONGRESSIONAL INTER- é FERENCE. Chairman Wheeler—What would you think of the propriety of discontinuing all congres- sional interference with tho pension office. Mr. Brookshire—I cannot see’ anything im- Proper sbout it if the work is carried on in Sood faith between Congressmen and the pen- sion office. Mr. Brookshire did not know how many clerks it took to answer the daily pension calis of Congressmen. MR. GANT2'S EXPLANATION. Representative N. K. Gantz of Ohio testified that he had employed Hersey to look after his Pension claims, because he understood Hersey to be very efficient in that work, .Wituess paid Hersey for ail work he did for him and had no knowledge that Hersey re- ceived compensation from any one else,and did not now know Hersey got pay from others. Witness did not know Hersey had misused his name. SEY'S STATEMERT. Samuel R. Hersey, the pension attorney who was charged with calling up cases on congres- sional shps and furnishing information to attorneys for pay, was then examiued. Hersey testified that he also worked for Representa- tives Durborow of Ulinois and Perkins of lowa. In the last Congress, in addition to the mem- bers named, he worked for Mosers, Martin and Struble of Iowa. Hersey said he bad sold the information he got as Cooper's secretary and had also used the slips of Brookshire and (he thought) of Mr. Perkins of lowe. Had not used Mr.Gantz’s slip, Had seen Mr. Cooper personally only about three times this year, as he got Mr. Cooper's peusion letters by sending his (witness’) clerk after them. x Mr. Payson—Did you not know you could not have got this information except on s member's slip? OTHER CLERKS OBTAINING SIMILAR IXFORMA- TION. The witness replied affirmatively, but said he knew other clerks were obtaining this informa- tion in the same way. He said he knew two men who worked for members who sold in- formation to pension attorneys, and believed he knew one Senator's clerk who did the same ‘ing. After a good deal of pressing Mr. Payson learned that the two members’ clerks were Mr. Maddox, who worked for Representatives Cock- ran, English and Harter, and Mr. McClellan, who worked for his father, Representative Mc- Clellan, and Mr. Martin of Indiana. He had obtained the information in an incidental way, us they were ull in the sume office building. On cross-examination Mr. Payson called at- witness bad used Mr. Cooper m_cases in Ohio outside of Mr. Cooper's district in Indiana. Witness replied that he bad assumed the member would have no objection, inasmuch the office did not object. He knew by “signs that Mr. Raum was aware of what witness was doing and believed, although he could not prove it, that the commissioner was aware of witness’ work before the investigation began. Mr. Payson stated that Mr. Raum had learned the fact since the iuvestigation started. Mk. MORGAN'S VISIT. With reference to the visit of Mr. Morgan of Indiana to witness’ office, Mr. Hersey testified that Mr. Cooper bad introduced Mr. Morgan as being in the same business. They talked about pension matters. If Mn Cooper had said, “if you have anything wort ig for, Hersey will attend to it for you,” witness certainly had not heard it, Did hot remember to have replied that be would be glad to assist Morgan, though he would have been glad tohavedone #0. Witness had been sus- piciows of Morgan because of the way heacted, it giving witness an impression that he was not He looked uy a number of Subsequently Mr. Cooper aletter m which Mr. Morgan au honest man. cases tor Morgan. showed witne: had sent him (Mr. Cooper) $25 and said he did not understand it. Wit- news said to Mr. Cooper he presumed it was pay for some expert examization he had made for Morgan. Mr. Cooper rephed that pay could not be-taken for any such work and said he would return it, Mr. Morgan must have known witness’ address, but had not sent the money direct to him, DID NOT DIVIDE THE FERS, He denied to Mr. Payson that he had ever been in partnership with anyone in an ar- rangement to divide fees arising from these examinations, He had received a letter from Mr. Peet, whom he knew to be clerk to Marring & Slusher. He agreed to look up cases for Mr. Peet and assumed that Marring & Sinsher had eome tough cases, the status of which they desired to learn, Mr. Payson inquired (if this were a proper business for witness to be engaged in) why had he written that the thing was to be regarded as contidential aud that his name was to be kept confidential, as the present rulings of the pen- sion office forbade atiorneys to sce the records? The witness—I did not want claimants to write to me, as I knew they wouid, but received letters from claimants and had returned them the money inclosed. I did not want to charge them a fee. If an attorney offered to pay mo I took it. —— DEMOCRATIC MANAGERS. ‘Their Pian for Considering Legislative Mat- : ters in the House. It was the purpose of the democratic mana- gers of the House to finish with the cotton ties and cotton bagging bill today, but a considera- bie amount of time was consumed ina fight made by Mr. Enloe for the devotion of the day to private bills and it 1s possible that the dis- cussion of the measure may be protracted into next week. Saturday is set aside for eulogies on the late Representative Ford, so that if a voteon this tariff bill is not reached today it will have to go over until Monday. The desire is to get through with the cotton tie bill and to devote next week to the consideration of appropriation bills that are already on the calendar, taking up other tariff bills later on. ‘The committee on appropriations has not yet reported the iegislative but they are alrendy abead of the House, and together with those reported from other committees there ‘enough — appropriation bilis On tho calendar to cccupy” the louse for some time. These bille ance of the departments, have come from the heads of the THE G. A. KR. ENCAMPMENT. Senator McMillan’s Amendment Appropriat- ing $100,000 Adopted by the Senate. THEE OPPOSITION COMES MOSTLY FROM DEMO- CRATIC SENATORS, WHILE THE REPUBLICANS DEFEND THE PROPOSITION AXD URGE THAT TRE MONEY SHOULD BE APPROPRIATED. After the regulation business of the morning the Senate tnok up the District appropriation bill and the discussion on the appropriation for the purposes of the Grand Army encampment was continued. The question was on the amend- ment proposed by Mr. Cockrell, providing that all the sum appropriated should be taken from the revennes of the District, ‘RY MR. PADDOCK OBJECTED. Mr. Paddock spoke of the fact that Lin- coln, a town in his state, had been s com- petitor for this encampment. Lincoln had offered to raise $30.00 for —— of showing a 1 hospitality the “old soldiers, "Lincoln was not as able to raise such a sum as the people of Was Tt was now ridiculous that 8 ould ask the people of Lincoln and other cities to contribute what they bad Promised to raise themselves. The hotel men alone could pay the full cost of the encamp- ment with profit to themselves. He wanted the citizens of Washington to go down into their pockets and raise the amount. Senator Frye remarked that he was amazed at Mr. Paddock’s speech. The gentleman's only argument seemed to have been that the city of Lincoln had been defeated, and that therefore he had determined to vote against the appropriation. ir. Paddock replied that he simplywranted the citizens of Washington to adhere to their pledges. THE CITIZENS CUGRT NOT TO PAY ALL Mr. Frye said there had never been a Grand Army encampment which has been entirely sustained by private contributions alone. No city was able to sustain the burden without assistance, The great city of Boston had not done it and Lincoln could not have done it. During the encampment here Wash- ington would be the Mecea of the old soldier. One hundred thousand of the defenders of the Union would be present in this city. It would cost not less thon one dollar and twonty- five cents per man, and with other expenses the total cost would not be less than £175,000. It is ridiculous to expect that the citizens shall subscribe this entire sam. Con- Gress should appoopriate, he thought, either $100,000 or $125,000 out of the treasury. WASHINGTON MUST NOT BE BEHIND OTHER CITIES. Senator Hawley described the measures used to obtain the encampment. Washington, he thought, must not be allowed under any cir- cumstances to be behind Detroit and other cities in the manner in which it entertained the old soldiers of the war. It would be ungenerous to saddle on the District the entire coxt of the encampment. The city was already bearing the burden of a Zoological Park of s much greater extent than acity of its size would naturally possess. He hoped that this ungenerous policy would not be coutinued in regard to the encampment. Sen- ator Hawley then argued as tu the constitu- tionality of the appropriation, comparing it in this regard to the appropriation made yearly for the various charges of the city. Waahin, ton, he said, was no* a wealthy city. A large portion of its inhabitants were gov- ernment clerks and a very large portion of its wealthy people came here merely as they went to Saratoga. Congress bad national, state and city powers in this matter. They had ap- pointed three receivers for the District, and if all three characters it was their duty to make a liberal appropriation for the purposes of this encampment. WHY CONGRESS SHOULD APPROPRIATE THE MONEY. Mr. McPherson remarked that the peonle would not sympathize with the niggardly feel- ing which some Senators were displaying in regard to this appropriation. Congress should appropriate enough money to properly en- tertain the soldiers who made it possible that the country should still have her capital. Senator Dawes held that the present encampment would be national in all ite phases and that it would be ridiculous to saddle a national task on the city of Washington. He deplored that the entire country, both north and south, could not take part in the coming great encampment. Mr. Harris interrupted at this point to ask Mr. Dawes who it was that invited ;the Grand Army to come tu Washington. Senator Dawes replied that he saw small rea- son in the idea which Mr. Harris brought out. Tt was not Washington as # corporation which had invited the Grand Army, but it was the citizens of Washington as national citizens who had sent the invitation. Mr. Harris said that he understood thor- oughly that the invitation had been extended by the people of the city and that the Grand Army would be the guest of the people. SENATOR PALMER'S APPEAL. Senator Palmer made a strong appeal for the appropriation. There was more than a mere benefit to this city. Every year the old soldier is becoming less and less. They deserve well of the nation and an appropriation for their eutertainment should be'made without hesitation. He did not think the people of Washington should even be allowed to furnish any part of the appropria- tion. He wanted the old soldiers trom the north, eaxt, south and west to meet once more in the capital of the nation as the guests of the nation. SENATOR VEST'S SARCASM. Senator Vest made some sarcastic allusion to the barbecue speeches which had been made. He remarked that several of the Senators re- minded him of actors rushing to the foot lights, grasping an American flag and firing off horse pistol The en- campment at St. Louis, he said, had been supported entirely by voluntary contributions. In the case of Washington individuals had sent the invitation to the Grand Army and now it was proposed that the poor residents of the city be taxed to make good the ledges of these individuals. Why not gojfarther, Sytem appropriations for ecumenical conferences and such other bodies that chose to mect in this city. Why not pay ‘the expenses of the republican and democratic conventions, providing they met here?” ME. GALLINOER FAVORS THE APPROPRIATION. Senator Gallinger said that an appropriation from the national treasury of £50,000 would only mean the payment of four-fifths of a mill by each citizen of the country. He earnestly favored an a the encampment. In regard to the constitutionally of the appro- riation there were already so many precedents That he was willing to add one more. ‘The Senator referred as s precedents to the Washing- ton monument, to the many statues in this city and to Arlington. Senator Hiscock also pe Pree ‘of! an appro- priation out of the national treasury. If was an infraction of the Constitution, be was willing to abide by the infrac- tion. Arlington, he said, where sicep the immortal dead at the governmen' tion. The encampment would bethe largest in the history of the Grand Army and the nation should see to it that the soldiers were of Wash- roperly received. The Tngien tedimede contribution iter coatriDaton for the purpose of entertaining public bodies. In this case, ss they thought snd he thought with them that Congress should bear a share of the burden. . Senator Cullom made an earnest plea for an Appropriation out of the national treasury. Senator Cockrell defended his amendment, which provided that the entire cost should be taken from the revenues of the District. He said he had not anticipated such an ontpour- ing of patriotic fervor. He had not taought that this amendment would afford such chance for presidential aspirants meelves wave the American Was a practical question, he said, ‘The people of Washington hud coupeted for and obtained the encampment.

After the regular report of the Schneider trial elsewhere the district attorney continued his address. i 2 He was writing to this young, innocent girl, arguing with her that he “— <¢ to procure a divorce from his wife. What a chapter there was in that letter to Gerald Lightfoot! What light it threw upon the character of this defendant! Mr. Cole while commenting upon the letter said the re- marks sbout Campbell Carrington were not in- tended asa slander on Mr. Carring- ton. It was Howard Schneider's esti- mate of a lawyer. Ile — supposed a lawyer could be hired to get a man out of an; difficulty, He supposed all that was necessar was to have money enough to hire lawyer. When ‘Howard Schneider made up bis mind that he could do anything be chose, get a divorce today, kill his wife tomorrow, and procure a inwyer who wonld bring perjured witnesses into court who would acquit him he was very much mis- taken. Mr. Cole said a few words in defense of Mr. Carrington and the legal profession against what he said was the calumny conveyed in the letter the legal profession. The letter, though, showed that Howard Schneider belie that he could kill his wife and then his brother's money could hire a lswyer and buy witnesses that would acquit Lim. But he made a great mistake. Justice was not to be bought or sold in thiscourt. Thank God. justice, God's justice, man’s justice, is for him who needs and deserves it. ANOTHER OBJECTION FROM MR. WILSON. Mr. Wilson objected to this argument, say- ing that there was nothing to base it upon ex- cept what had been said in the cross-oxamins- tion of a witness. District Attorney Cole said that he thought bis argument was @ fair conclusion from the ter. Judge Bradley said he thonght the argu- ment a fair one upon the letter. Mr. Wilson thereupon noted an exception. Mr. Cole then went on further in his com- ments —— Lightfoot letter. Mr. Wilson. he said, asked them whether they thought it reasonable that aman should kill his wife in order to get rid of her, so that he could marry another. He had himself, however, referred to the Maybrick case where a woman had done just that thing, killed her husband. Mr. had argued thata man might under such circumstances poison his wife or ‘all ber in some way, 80 that the evidences of his crime would be concealed, but he would not shoot her in the public street. Af he had wanted bis wife to go to Chicago with him, as he said, he wanted ber to go sohe with better security to himself could that life The death might end not have come so soon, but it would have come. It was inevitable. He intended to rid himself of that wife, and if she had gone to Chicago with him he would have gotten rid of ber. When he formed the hellish design to get rid of her, he formed the design which this jury was now investigating—to draw her out in the street with her brother or her father, and then shoot his wife and the father or the brother and claim that he fired in self defense. ‘That was the scheme that was in his mind. He had framed that resolution and he was looking for au opportunity to earry it into exe- cution. passion for Miss Light- His heart was full of foot and he invended to take the first 0) portu- nity to carry out his hellish scheme. 4t now to remains for — suc! ‘ foul scheme shall be consummated. When a man starts out to do a deed he is entitled to no protection, he is entitled to no presumption of innocence, and that his nonor will tell you later. —__ THE MODUS VIVENDI, Not Fivally Conciaded, but the so Secretary Blaine said today in response to an inquiry on the subject that an agreement had not yet been finally concluded with the British government in rogard to a modus vivendi in Bering sea pending the settlement by arbitration of the jurisdictional rights of the United States in those waters. He de- clined, however. to say anything with regard to the condition of the negotiations on that subject. The departure of the President from the city at this time, however, is regarded an specially significant in view of a statement attributed to bim that he would not go away until the question of @ modus vivendi bad been settled one way or the other. His departure, taken in conjunction with the fact that he had conference with the British minister Wed: and with Secretary Blaine yesterday, gives more than a semblance of probability to the belief in certain quarters that an ment has practical been reached by the President aud the Br: minister for a sus) of pelagic sealing in Bering sea and that the basis of agreement has been communicated to Lord Salisbury for - a. Asitis not likely that the British premier will dispose of the matter for several days, the President probsbly thought he could avail himself of the interval for a few days’ recrea- tion. Theagreementso nearly concluded is said = be substantially the same as the modus viveudi it year, which expires on the lst proximo. the catch of the North American Commercial Company on the seal islands being again lim- ited to 7,500 seals. The Prosident, it is said, in- sisted that this allowance was necessary for the Subsistence of the natives. Active a tions are now being made nt the Navy and departments for the dispatch of ves- sels to Bering sea. ‘The vessels to be used in ee revenue steamers Ri r, Corwin and Albatross and the ac ships Ranger, Adams and Mohican and ibly either the Charleston, Baltimore or Yorktown, most likely the last named. These arrangements are being made in anticipation of a favorable con- clusion of the negotiations for a modus vivendi which will include active co-operation on the Part of the British navy.
