Metnovexe, April 29.—The central criminal court room was thronged this morning long be- fore the hour of opening, there being goncral curiosity to ace not only Deeming himself, but | also Miss Rounsevell. the young woman to whom he was engaged to be married, and who, it was expected, would testify today. Deeming did not show much change from yesterday. Remarks | that he has made indicate that he considers his / ease hopeless, especially since he was aban- doned by his solicitor, Mr, Marshall Lyle. Crown Prosecutor Waish is winning gen- eral approval by the thoroughness of the case which he has presented against the prisoner, ‘When the name of Miss Rounsevell was called there was considerable excitement in court, She walked tothe witness box unfalteringly, and, having been sworn, looked steudfastly at the prisoner. who returned ber gaze. H Miss Rounsevell, in reply to the questions addressed to her, stated that she was traveling from Adelaide’ to Sydney on board the steamer Adelaide, which called in at Melbourne on January 12, After the veseel left Melbourne she was sitting in the saloon when a gentie- man who was passing stopped and asked her whether she felt sick. She replied in the ‘ive. The same gentleman afterward a her to join a game of whist, introducing him- self as Baron Swanston. She consented, and in this manner an acquaintarce was formed. “He is sitting there,” the witness added, inting to the prisoner. Powitnen coutinued: “At that time he wore a moustache. Next day he asked me if I in- tended staying at Sydnev. I snid no, I was go- ing to join my sister at Bathurst. He then said that he was going that way and would branch off and stop at Bathurst, too, While we were in Sydney, ‘Swanston’ gave me the ring pro- duced. On the afternoon of the same day he asked meto marry him. I replied that I did not intend to marry. During the journey to Bat- burst ‘Swanston’ remarked that I looked fatigued aud produced a small silver finsk contaming brandy. which he recommended me to sip. but I declined to taste it, When we station, and I introduced the prisoner, newed his offer of marringe and I accepted him. ‘Swanston’ left Bathurst on January 17.

The committee of the House which has been struggling with the assessment property in the District took a rest today from the labor, owing partly to the fact that things in the House required the presence of every one and also to allow the clerks tocatch up in the report. The committee has now advanced some dis- tance in its investigation, although the result is still clouded by lack of accurate knowledge a3 to just what the committee expect and hope to prove, ‘The committee, 1t will be remembered, con- sists of three men—Mr. Johnson and Mr. Wash- ington, democrats, and Mr. Wadsworth, republican, The ‘face of the latter gen- tieman has been conspicuously absent so far from the meetings, although only fair to say that he bas been unwell for a portion of the time at his home in New York, Mr. Johnson is known as one of ‘the " ablest and most en- thusiastio single tax advocates in the country and would wndonbtedly be glad if the outcome of tie investigation could turn favor in the direction of bis idea, It is not tought, however, in view of the fact that the other two members of the committee are not in favor of the single tax idea, that the land theory will enter the question any further than possi- biyinan attempt to show that taxation on Innd alone would tend to equalize assess- ments, It ts expected, however, that the committee will attempt to show that if taxes were levied on the full value of the property a much lower rate would prevail, What the logical results Of this willbe cnn only be conjectured. In thia connection 1 may be said that before this investigation was made Mr. Johnson made a private 1uvestigation of his owa in which he employed six reul estate dealers in the city to ko estimates on tye! ght city squares, Its were added aud divided by 6. From this investigation Mr, Johnson drew the deduction that the true market value of In_ 1889 ail land in the District was nd all improvements $70.000,000. the total valne of land and » District war assessed at $145,176, tax made income of that at his t valuation 0,000 a tax of .U057 would bring in nd that if his lend values alone tax of .007 would insure an in- 42,600. como of & ox EE THEY WANT NO MONOPOLY. Object of a Visit of a Montana Delega- tion, - Montana is a lively state, and when its citizens want anything they generally get it or know the reason why. Just now there rre a number of gentlemen im the city who owe allegiance to Montana and who have donned their gaudiest war punt and are making active efforts to get within striking distance of what they el is a dangerous proposition to their state.

Thompson of Livingston, Alvin P. Vennedge and W. W. Alderson. According to Mr. Joy the trouble is about as follows Cooke City,in Park county, Montana.is known to be one of’ the richest mining camps in the world, but requires railroxd facilities to de- velop it, as the ore is, for tho most part, of low grade, "The only practicable route to the eam passes across the northeast corner of the Yel- fowstone National Park, and at no point on the proposed railway aro any objects of intorest in the park nearer than filteea miles. The fact that congressional actioa is necessary be- ‘foro any railroad can be constructed to the mining camp has given birth to a proposition to secure a special or exclusive franchise over this route. This project directly antagonizes the wishes of the people of that section, and particularly the miners of Cooke, who are keenly alive to the fact that a road with such a charter would dictate extortion ate rates without fear of competition, aud would practicaily own and control all the miners of that camp. 7 's and the people generally ation of a mail strip which Worthless to the park and this plan permit the construction of a railroad from Cinnabar to Cooke by any and ail rail- road compunics that might be attracted by the traaiic, thereby giving the miners the benefit of ad competiti eit boards of trade, have matter in bebalf of the y and have forwarded to Con- gress petitions urging that the segregation plan be adopted, Asked about the political outlook in Mon- tana, Mr. Joy stated that the first choice of the Tepublicans of Montana is Jamvs G.

Commissioner Douginss Explains the Situa- tion toa“Star” Reporter. ‘RE THINKS SENATOR x'MILLAN WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS INDIGNANT IF EE BAD KNOWN THE FACTS—THE METZEROTT LICENSE IN ACCORD- ANCE WITH THE BOSTOX REQULATIONS AGREED ‘UPOX, Ia reply to an interrogatory concerning the Statements made by Senator McMillan about the Metzerott Masic Hall Commissioner Doug- lass said to a fran reporter toda: “Yes, I read Senator McMillan's interview in last evening's Stax. Had the Senator known all the facts he would have beon lessindignant. He says that theCommissioners have been guilty of s breach of agreement im not adopting building regulations like those in Boston in re- lation to theaters and places of public amuse- ment. Let's see about this. On the 25th day of March wo called up the matter in bo-rd meeting and agreed upon the Boston regu’ s- tions, beginning with section 112, on page 24,of the publications of that city. Th pencil mark then made at section 111 shows the para- graph at which the inspector of buildings was to commence. Before signing them we in- structed Mr. Entwisle to go carefully over the Boston copy with one of bis assist- ants to ste if any of the provis- fons were already in our lations. This he had to do after business rs, when and where he and his assistant could be alone. On the 28th day of March he reported them to the Commissioners, We read them over and they seemed to bt all right, as we remembered the Boston original. To be sure. however, that thoy were critically correct Capt. Kossell go took them to with ons of his assistants, which he has been doing as he could find time from carrent en- agements, and informed the board yesterday or the day before that would soon be ready to report. As these regulations have to be printed im a permanent form they should -be as perfect as we can iaake them before printing. In the meuntime no damage or danger of damage bas cecurred, for there has not been a permitnsked for to erect a building of the kind in the Dis- trict. And we agreed at the first that if a permit was asked for it shonld be delayed until the amended regulations were reguiarly adopted by the board. ‘The adoption of regulations by the board is in effect legislation, and the Sena- tor knows weil the delays that occur even in a body so independent as Congress, while occa- sional vetoes by the President poiut the danger of hasty legislation. TEE TELEPHONINO. “Now, a word as to the telephoning yester- day between the Senator and myself. Iunder- stood him to say that he thought we ought to recall tho Metzerott permit at once, I told him that I did not know that we could. My reason for the auswer was this After the permit is issued the citizen makes his contract and is bound to the contractor. If he fails to go on with the work the coutrac- tor usuaily has a caso for damages against ‘him, and when this condition obtains we think it right to hear the citizen before crashing him. That's one thing that the people hold dear—the right to be heard—what the books call “a day in court.’ As there was no possible danger to the public in the mean- time (for in any event tt will be months before the building can be finished and occupied), I ‘aw on a moment's reflection that the citizen ought to be and could with safety to the public be heard. This was about 11:30, andat12 we met, wien I pre- sented the Senator's mostage.” I understood the mesage to mean that if the permit was not Tecalied at once the resolution would be (as it was) introduced, WHAT THE REGULATIONS SAT. “If the Senator will oxamine section 126 of the Boston regulations, which is the only sec- tion regulating the height from the pavement, he will see that only such places as eto have a ‘fixed stage, with mov- or shifting scenery. ‘curtains or machinery,’ &c., are required to be ‘not more than'seven feet above the sidewalk.’ We have made the rule ‘four feet’ instead of soven, Now, Metzerott Hall is not to have ‘moving or shifting scenery, curtains and ma- chinery, and is only thirteen feet above the pavement at the entrance,’ If he will turn to section 13 of the Senate bil he intro- duced he will find exactly the same dis tinction. So that if the Boston regulations had been enacted by Congress the Commissioners would still have had the right, if they thought the building otherwise safe, to issue a permit allowing the auditorium ou the second floor. “During ali the discussion we must remember that the Metzcrotts have some possible rights that even if wo did not respect the courts might, “Senators and members of the House are Protected by the Constitution from all per- sonal liability on account of their official action, ‘Tbe exemption extends to their words spoken in debate. Net so with executive of- ficers. We may bo made to answer in damages for unwarranted actions xs municipal officers. While Cong: to public opinion, the Commissioners are liable to that, too, and the law besides. If Congress is prudently slow at times, why shouldn't we be also slow at times?

The gencral drift of sentiment seems to be toward the opinion that there are breakers abead for the movement to renominate Mr. Har- rison, The republican Congressmen are naturally more cautious in the expression of thei ws than the democrats, but since the news arrived from Albany considerable more doubt is expressed as to Mr, Harrison's renom- ination, Among the emocrats also the interpretation ofthe Albany proceedings is unfavorable to the President's cause. ‘The central argument is that o refusal to instruct for the Prevident is, to some extent at least, a setback for him, aud that the mere perfunctory indorsement of his administration means absoiutely mothing in the way of future support. ‘This idea was clearly expressed this morning by Col, Fellows in conversation on the subject. i am not in the confidence of the republicans of New York, but it does not aj pear to me that they want President Harrison Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U.

The action at Albany leaves them foot loose and affords abundant opporta- nity for future carving,cutting amd finishing erations by the fine Italian hand of Mr. Thos, C. Platt. The indorscment of the administra- tion by the Albany convention has no signifi- cance whatever. ‘They had todo that, of course. It was the very least they could do, and they did it.” Other prominent democrats expressed similar views, On the —- side tho talk was more guarded, preventative Ray of New York said he thought the _ at Albany “foretold victory for the republitan 7." but be was uncertain as to the standard bearer. He did not think that the failure to instruct was necessarily a mark of disfavor for the President.
