The attorneys of Dr. who was convicted in Denver of poisoning Mrs. Josephine Barnaby of Providence, R. 1, have filed their brief in reply to the state's answer in the case on error, in which Dr. Graves claims, among other things, that Judge Rising in his instructions to the jury orred in telling them to bring in a verdict of guilty if they thonght be- yond a reasonable doubt that the doctor had committed the crime. The doctor's lawyers cite many cases to uphold their plea that fudge erred, and have every detail under the conviction that the supreme court will reverse Judge Rising’s decision. pone aa Michigan's New Division.

No member questioned its correctness, its state- ments of facts or conclusions of law, but the re- publican members of the committee would not assent to what he said on the tariff and a ma- jority of the democratic members of the com- mittee thonght it impolitic to make any report until the entire investigation was completed, which could not be done before the second see- sion of Congress. Therefore a postponement of the report was made until next winter. The red by Mr. Oates having been re- 1d by the committee, he gave it to the pub- ic as his individual opinion of the matters in- vestigated. The report begins with a statement of the movements of the subcommittee, fol- lowed by a description of the works at Home- stead, the number of employes, the rates of yes, the negotiations between thy and the mated Association. outbreak, the contentions of bo! finally an account of the disastrous ending of the attempt to land the Pinkertons. It is said that the Pinkertons who surrendered were brutally and outrageously treated. principally by women and boys, and Mr. Oates is loathe to believe that id of these women are native Americans. He says that the indignities to ‘which they were subjected was a disgrace to civilization, Mr. Oates asked whether the Carnegie firm ‘was justified in equity and good conscience in prepomng the reduction of wages, | T_ answer, e says, that Mr. Frick declined to state the cost of a ton of Bessemer steel billets and the labor cost. The men were paid satisfactory wages, but the work much abbreviates the natural period of lifeand should be well paid for. He thinks that the company should have some of the benefits of the profits resulting from the use of improved machinery. He con- demns the McKinley law for its failure to bene- fit the American workmen, and says the promises made to the operatives ha dinappointing. Mr. Oates finds further that the conduct of the company tow rd its employes was kind in many respects. It loaned them money at low interest to build homes and never foreclosed mortgages, but in the strike negotiations the officers did not exercise patience, indulgence and solicitude, and Mr. Frick, according to Mr. Oates, who isa business man of great intelli- gence, seems to have been too stern, brusque and somewhat autocratic. Mr. Oates is per- suaded that if Mr. Frick had appealed to the reason of the employes and shown them the state of the company’s affairs the reduction might have been mado and no trouble have followed. Mr. Oates finds that the Pennsylvania law contains nothing to prevent Mr. Frick from employing Pinkerton men as watchmen at Homestead, but says that under the cireum- have done so. He made \kertons before the m tiations with the men were interrupted, and did not appeal to the county or state authorities in the first instance for protection. He asserts that Sheriff McCleary isa very inefficient officer, but says that had Mr. Frick aided him and joined in his appeal to the governor instead of employing Pinkertons the state would have furnished a sufficient force to have protected the property. Mr. Ontes condemns ns unlawful the acts of the men in turning away the sheriff and as in- sulting in hanging in effigy Messrs. Frick and Potter. He says it was the purpose of the Amalgamated Association to prevent the em- ployment of non-union men, and he declares that no organization has a right to enforce its wishes by strong-handed defiance of law. The men had no legal right to resist the coming of the Pinkertons,and are answerable to the Penn- sylvania court been Mr. Ontes finds that Congress has no power over the questions involved. ‘The enactment of a satisfactory arbitration law is well nigh impossible. As to whether Congress has the power to regulate or suppresa Pinker- tonism Mr. Oates ways he has no opinion to express until the conclusion of the investigation next session, et THE PAGO-PAGO AFFAIR. Neither the United States Nor Great Britain Hag Exclusive Jurisdiction, Officials of this government place no credence in the report that Great Britain has.“seised the harbor of Pago-Pago, Samoa, for a coaling station. “It is not necessary for England to seize the harbor in order to establish a coaling station,” said a State Department official to a Star re- porter today, Under treaty stipulations Eng- land has a right to locate a naval depot wherever she pleases on a Samoan shore.” The treaties under which the United States and England acquire their respective rights are as follows: Article 2 of the treaty of 1878 reads: “Naval vessels of the United States shall have the priv- ilege of entering and using the port of Pago- Pago, and establishing therein and on the shores thereof a station for coal and other naval supplies for their naval and commercial ma- rine, and the Samoan government will here- after neither exercise nor authorize any juris- diction within said port adverse to such rights of the United States as restrictive thereof. The same vessels shall also have the privilege of entering other ports of the Samoan Gland “The citizens of the United States shall like- wise have free liberty to enter the samo ports with their ships and cargoes of whatsoever kind and to sell the same to any of the inhabitants of these islands, whether natives or foreigners, or to barter them for the products of the islands. All such traffic, in whatever articles of trade or barter, hall be free, except that the trade in firearms and munitions of war in the islands shall be subject to regulation by that government.” August 27, 1890, treaty was tween Great Britain and the which contained this provision: ‘Her majesty. the Queen of Great Britain v, if she think fit, establish on the shores of a Samonn harbor, to be herea ter designated by her majesty, a naval station and coaling depot, but this article shall not apply to the harbor of Apia or Salnatafa or to that part of the harbor of Pago-Pago which may be hereafter selected by the government of the United States asa sintion under the provisions of the treaty con- cluded between the United States of America and the Samoan government on the 17th day of January, 1878."

One of the biggest land swindlos ever at- tempted in Chicago came near clouding Mrs. Hetty Green's title to some of her propert: and had it not been for a broker's shrewdness she would have lost, temporarily at least, the title to $1,000,000 worth. As it was, as soon as she heard that her land was in danger she Tushed to the courts to perfect her title and thus, perhaps, frustrated all opportunities to discover the swindler. Mrs, Green is the owner of $20 acres of fine land in the southwestern section of Chicago. It lies between 59th and 63d streets, west of West- ern avenue, und was formerly’ owned by de- faulting City Treasurer Gage. It has increased enormously in value since Mrs. Green bought it and is a very choice bit of property. Abouta month ago x man named Vincent Maillie, representing himeelf as an agent for John R. Andersen of Hammond, Ind., went to Jobn G. Earle, a real estate man at No. 40 40th street, Chicago, and offered to trade five acres of the Gregn land for 10,000. He based his right to handle the property on a deed convey ing forty acres of Mrs. Green's half section to Andersen, executed on November 28, 1891, and seemingly witnessed by Charles W. Feni, a no- tary public. ‘Mr. Earle asked for an abstract in addition to the deed and was told a long story concerning ite Joss. He also desired to eee Mr. Andersen of Hammond, but that pleasure was denied him. ‘Then he com: »nced investigation and satisfied himself that the deed was a forgery. ‘The dis- covery was made independently about the same time ‘by the Title Guaranty and Trust Com- pany, which iad been approached with = view to the negotiation of a loan on the same deed. Both the company and Mr. Earle put the matter in the hands of the police, and plans were skillfully made to capture the forger. Un- fortunately Mrs. Green had been informed of the attempted swindle, and rushed into court to secure a clear titie to her land. Of course, this put the forgers on their guard, and now the police will probably never find the men they are after. At least this is the opinion of Chief McClaughrey and Inspector Ross, who had the management of the case, Mrs. Green, however, says she doem't care, because she hasn't lost anything and doesn't think any one should blame her for trying to protect her own interests. She is satisfied with things as they are. The forgeries of the deeds were clumsy ones, but had it not been zor Enrle’s shrewdness the plot might have worked. It so happens that the entire property is covered by one deed. T. C, Lewis has also been mentioned promi- nently in connection with the affair. He it was who introduced Muillie to J. E. Earle, the real estate dealer. It way said that Mr. Lewis had gone to Indianapolis, but he was found in room No. 512 Interocean building. He is also a real estate dealer. “What do you know about Maillie?” asked a New York Herald correspondent. “Very little, evén in a business way,” was the reply. ‘About six months ago I endeavored to carry through a deal with him, but the trade fell through owing to his inability to deliver the land. I saw nothing of him until about « month ago, when he called on me and askea if I still wanted land. I found that he had five acres of Chicago lawn property to offer at €2,000 an acre. Ax I was indebted to Mr. Earle to the extent of $8,000, incumprance on land and ten houses, I suggested a detl by which Earle would take Maillie’sland, and my land, freedof incum- brance, would go'to Maillie, I was to receive the balance of $2,000. Negotiations went onsmoothly between Maillie and Lewis until the question of the Earle, deed ing. Tor have another prepared.” He also suid. that. as Mr. Andersen was passing through for New York he would take him to Earle's office and the matter could be settled immediately. don’t like to make a lot of fuss over a deal, was Maillio's favorite expression. “Le! through with this quickly. “When Maile promised to bring Anderson round,” continued Mr, Lewis, “Earle said: ‘If Ieee him and all is right this trade will do.’ I went down next day to see if he had taken An- dersen to Earle's office, but he hadn't. ‘Then I didn’t see Maillic for three days. When I next saw him I was sitting inthis office with a friend, Mr. Kinney of Kinney & Cole, a real estate firm on the north side. Maillie looked in at the door and.then went away. “Kinney said: ‘Do you know that man?’ I told him what I knew of him in business. He id: “You had better be careful of him. He the sharpest and meanest man in “Then Mr. Kinney told me a story action he had with him, in which Maillio duced a woman as the owner of » house under a false name and inv ‘him intos fictitious purchase, for which he had Maillie arrested. “after Theard that I went straight down to Earle and said to him: ‘I have found out that this man {sa fraud. Idon’t like that five-nore deal and I won't have any more to do with it.’ That was the last I heard of the transaction until I met Maillie on the streets two weeks blood. This occurred sehort distance above | afte! Fluvanna. They drove to the hotel and all got out and entered the hotel.

The Ex-Chancellor’s Popularity Was Never Greater Than Now. Prince and Princess Bismarck on the way to pay avisit to the ex-chancellor's brother, at Naugard, Prussia, were given an ovation Satur- day at Spandau, Germany, bya large crowd. At the Stetten railway station an immense crowd gathered to meet the ex-chancellor on his arrival, and enthusiastically welcomed him, singing patriotic eongs and cheering long and loud. The prince was presented with a number of bouquets. When he was given «chance to make himself heard, he addressed the crowd briefly, saying that he had returned from his journey to Vienna more satisfied than he was on his departure. He said he had found in the non-Prussian of Germany a large reserve of loyalty to the empires to the marriage of Count Herbert Bismarck and Countess Margarethe Hoyos the prince said he had brought back with him a new and dear member of his family circle. His journey, he declared, had ended ina manner ‘extremely pleasurable to himself. At the conclusion of his remarks repeated cheers were piven by the crowd for the prince and bis family.

It has transpired that the German government tried to influence the Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar to order the municipal authorities of Jena and the chiefs of the university to refuse the prince a public re- ception on the occasion of his visit tothat place.

Tragic End of a Man Who Poisoned a Friend to Marry His Wife. ‘On the 9th of last June, Martin Reed, who | ai was confined in the Washington county, Pa,, jail for the murder of Alexander Chappel, escaped and was not located by the detectives on his track until Saturday. Officers McBride and Orr of Washington have been working on the case ever since the murderer fied, and,after much work, they found him concealed in an ice house at Noblestown, near Washington. When discovered Reed refused to surrender, where- upon an attempt was made to foree the door of the ice house and take him by force. Reed hed evidently determined not to be taken alive, for he opened fire on the officers and dangerously wounded Officer Orr. ‘The two policemen, seeing that they could not capture the desperado unaided, called tor help.

The young man was unable to gainsay | her, and on’ December 12, 1890, they were mar- ried. Mrs. Foot and Baby Campbell accompanied Ezra to St. Paul and were installed in the fam- ily home. “As the young woman was bright and | pretty abe bad no trouble in winning a place in the high sphere in which she found herself. | She felt that the past was blotted out and that | she was safe.

This was the link im the chain that bound Florence Blood to ber part. She | had neglected to sever it. The next act wasa letter which pierced the heart of old Silas Foot. It told the story of the negotiations in the office of the doctress. It told the old man that Baby Campbell was not of his blood. "At first he refused to believe thewevela- tion. Then, like the chrewd man of bustness that he was, he set about confirming the story. He went to New York and sought out Mra, Campbell. He placed before her photegpie of a score of babies.
