A POINT FOR LIZZIE. Miss Borden’s Inquest Testimony Excluded From the Trial. BREAK IN THE DAM AT TROY, N.Y. oe Graduates of the United States Miiitary Academy. OTHER TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. SECOND WEEK OF THE BORDEN TRIAL. Increased Interest Shown in the Great Case at New Bedford. New Beprorp, Mass., June 12.—Over one- half of the spectators in court this morning were women, and the second week of the Bor- den trial opens with the appearance of increased interest as the uncertainties of the case are un- folded. ‘The indications of a severe struggle over the admission of the stenographic notes of Miss Borden's testimony at the inquest were plenti- ful this morning in the piles of books contain- ing authorities to be cited pro and con. A few moments before court opened counsel on both sides were summoned {nto the private room of the presiding justices for consultation. Miss Borden came into court at 8:50 and took her seat withm the bar, looking somewhat dragged, and in awswer to an inquiry from Gov. Robinson as to her rest last night her words and manner indicated that she did not | Pass a pleasant night. 4 ‘The consultation lasted twenty minutes. After court was opened and the jury polled the officers were directed by the court to retire the jury until they were sont for, punding the arguments to follow. ANGUMENT OVER MISS BORDEN'S TESTIMONY. Mr. Moody then addressed the court, saying he understood the discussion now to be operted was that of the admissibility of Miss Borden's evidence. He spent three-quarters of an hour maintaining the admissibility on authority, principle and practice. claiming the rule to be that testimony 1s admissible if voluntary and arguing that the defendant's conduct and dec- larations, showing conscionsness of guilt, would be admissibie, even if the defense ‘should claim that a confession would not be. During the argument the prisoner was af- fected with a sudden indisposition and led from the room by the sheriff. Gov. Robinson, for the defense. argued elo- quently that the f ant’s declarations were not voluntary, and then discussed the authorities which he claimed ad- mitted the testimony only when facts were dif- ferent Som those here, VAZZIES VEST mONY EXCLUDED.’ An Important Point for the Defense in the Borden Triat. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. New Beprorp, Mass., June 12.—Lizzie Bor- den’s inquest testimony will not be admitted. The judges decided that point shortly after 12 o'clock today after listening to arguments on both sides for three hours. The decision is a great triumph for the de- fense. It is very doubtful now if the state can make out its case. It is, however, properly re- garded asa righteous ruling by most of those who are familiar with the case. ‘The statement of facts which both sidos sub- mitted to the court admitted that when the in- quest testimony was given by Miss Borden she was not under arrest, but had been told that she was suspected of the crime; the house and all the inmates were guarded by the police. Before she testified she asked leave to have her counsel. Mr. Jennings, present, but this Judge Blaisdell and District Attorney Knowi- ton refused. When her testimony was con- cluded she was not allowed to leave the court room, but was immediately placed under arrest. Prior to the inquest a complaint charging her with the murder was sworn to by the city marshal anda warrant issued for her arrest, but the marshal did not servethe warrant and the defendant was not informed of its existence. This warrant was returned, but another was issued on the record and the arrest was made. It was also agreed that before giving her testi- mony as above she was not cautioned by the district attorney that she was not obliged to testify to any thing which might eriminate herself, but her counsel was informed that he could. before the defendant testitied, confer with her in relation ‘thereto, and he did. LIZZIE TAKEN ILL. During the morning session Miss Borden was taken slightly ill and was taken from the court room for awhile. It is doubtful now if she will be put on the stand. There can be little gaived by it and something might be lost under the fire of District Attorney Knowlion’s dreadful cross-examination. Refusal to testify should notffprejadice her case, as she will bo guided wholly by her lawyers, A brand-new question has come into the case. It is, what did Lizzie, if guilty, have on when she murdered her mother? She must have been covered with blood if she did it, yet neither her father nor Bridget noticed anything out of the way in her manner or attire. Where was the hatchet covered with blood between the ‘ime of the first murder and the second? Liz- zie must have destroyed the evidence of two crimes, not one. People are asking what became of the pack- age Mr. Borden had in his hand when he en- tered the house. It seems to have dropped out of the case entirely. It is expected that the state will make des- perate efforts to retrieve its fortunes now that the inquest testimony is thrown out.

Tro, N. ¥., June 12.—About sixty feet of the state dam across the Hudson river at this city gave way about 3 o'clock this morning, and the timbers were carried a hundred yards to three feet above the dam and is still re- ceding. The effect of the break will be to suspend all navigation on the Champlain canal, as no boats ean pass through the sloop lock in the dam and the West Troy entrance to the canal is not being usec. ‘The loss is estimated at about $10,000 and an expert states that it will be about ten days be- | fore the break can be repaired.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. Corvuats, Ouro, June 12.—A letter from the State Department to Martin A. Gemuender of | this city, whom Edwin Dun, minister to Japan, selected for secretary of the legation and recom- | mended to the President, informing him that the President would not consider the appoint- | ment for some time, bas astonished the Thur- man democrats, especially as it is announced simultaneously that the place is to be given to W. S. Creighton, who was Gov. Campbell's ‘assistant executive clerk when he was in the executive office, but who now lives in California, iemuender was not an applicant for the place, but, regarding the recommendation of Minister Dun as settling the whole matter, Was arranging his affairs to go to Japan soon. He is not a politician and the chagrin is felt by him very keenly, The turning down of Mr. muender is generaily attributed to ex-Go' npbell and the Thurman democgats are vig- orous and outspoken in denouncing it. gee CHOLERA GETTING CLOSER.

Wontp’s Farm Guovxps,Catcaco, June 12.— Aglorious summer sky and moderately warm weather ushered in the seventh week of the Columbian fair this morning. Her highness, tho Infanta of Spain, still lends her smiling presence to the great show and no man knows where she will turn up next. She believes in exercising her prerogative ai plays hide-and-seek game with the committee on ceremonies and newspaper writers. The princess. who has taken the hearts of Chicago men and women by storm, is billed to lunch Inte today at the White Horse Inn at the south end of Jackson Park, alongside the Dutch wind mill and the cliff dwellers, away in what is known as “the back yard of the fair,” but there ts no certainty that she will not chango her mind, seeing that she is doing the fair incog now and takes a pleasure in evading the crowds of curious people who try to keep her in sight whenever she visits the fai ‘The infanta has patronized the Germancastle for luncheon twice, and as a matter of inter- national courtesy it should now be in order for her highness to sample the creations of the chefs in the French Cafe Mandarine, Polish, Austrian, Britien, Swedish and Philadelphia cafes, Turkish and Chinose.and other delight- ful resorts of the epicurcan visitor and even the Japanese tea gardens should not be slighted, fr tho Spanish princess should louve the white city without eating at every foreign cafe in the park there may be bitter jealousies on the part of the concessionaires, which might load to grave international complications and even form the groundwork for a “war cloud” story by cable from the pon of enterprising cor- respondents for the American press, e effect of the infanta’s favoritism toward the Midway Plaisance is noticeable. In Europe whatever a princess or prince wears at once becomes proper and fashionable. So now it is the proper thiug for distinguished visi- tors to the Yair to first, seo the nations of the earth in concentrated form by visit- ing the villages on the plaisance. The noble court of honor with allits architectural and sculptured glories has been deserted for the resent, and if you want to meet anybody who somebody you must be pushed ina chair up and down the Midway Plaisance. June promises to rdll up a big attendance for the fair, Jadging by thesize of the daily crowds so far. ¢ people poured into the grounds this morning by thousands, although thore is no special attraction, except in the possibility of seeing Princess Eulalie flitting through the park. Sa aos THE VALKYRI GETTING PRACTICE Cup Contest- ant Salling Against the Britannia. Loxpox, June 12.—The first match to be sailed off Dover between the yachts Valkyrie, Britannia, Cailuna and Iverna took place today, and at the time this cable dispatch is sent (3:30 p.m.) the race is not yet finished. The race is sailed in rounds, On the first round the Britannia and Valkyrie took a long lead of the other contestants and the round ractically lay between these two cutters. These finished the round within three seconds of each other and as, according to the rule, the Britannis has to allow the Valkyrie about a minute, of course the latter won. The final round is now being sailed, and the Britannia is making the South Sand Lightship. One yacht, believed to be the Vaiksric, can be seen several miles distant, and judging from the hang of her mainsail it 1s supposed she has broken the jaws on hor gaff. ‘The Britannia won the racoand the cup, valued at £50, given by the Duke of Connaught, ‘The Caliuna was second on time allowance and the Iverna third. ‘The damaged yacht proved to be the Valky- rie, as was supposed, as she did not attempt to finish the race.

Panis, June 12.—Sir Charles Russell, Sir Richard Webster and the other counsel repre- senting Great Britain before the Bering sea tribunal of arbitration today asked the tribunal to find that the searches and seizures in Bering sea, mentioned in the British schedule, whether of ships or goods, and the arrests of masters and crews were made by the authority of the United States; next, that the searches and seizures were made in non-tertitorial waters: for alleged — breaches of ~—‘United States municipal laws committed on tho high sens, and, further, that «aid searches and setz- ures, imprisonment of masters and crews and the fines imposed upon them were not made, inflicted or imposed under any claim of right or jurisdiction except such as have been sub- mitted to the decision of the arbitrators. ‘The seizures set forth in the British schedule comprise twenty vessels. The first seizure, that of the Carolena, was made by the United States revenue cutter Corwin on August 1, 1886, and | the last, that of the Pathfinder, also made by the Corwin, occurred March 27, 1890. Among the vessels ‘seized was the Ada, fifteen miles from land, and the Onward, 115 mfles from land. None of the seizures made were within the three-mile limit, the Ada being tho nearest to land and the Onward the farthest off shore. Messrs. E. J. Phelps, Jas. C. Carter and the other American counsel propose that the tribnnal find that the seizures occurred under the authority of the United States and that they were made “over ten miles | from any shore, that which an how many of the Vessels set forth iu the seked- ule were in whole or in part the property of British or American citizens bo a fact not passed upon by the tribunal, nor shail the values Of the vessels or their contents be passed upon by the court. ‘The American counsel next propose that the tribunal find that the orders warning vessels to leave Bering sen were made by armed vessels of the United States, the commanders of which were duly instructed to issue such warnings, and further, that the district courts 0 the United States which condemned the vessels referred to in the schedule had sll the jurisdiction and owers of courts of admiralty, including prize jurisdiction, Lastly, the American counsel propose that the tribunal find that the searches and condem- nations were not made in non-territorial wa- ters for alleged breaches of the municipal laws of the United States committed on the bigh seas, and that the searches, seizures, imprison- ments and fines were made under the mghtand jursdiction of the United States. — Escaped From a Texas Jail. Trier, Tex., June 12.—Nine prisoners es- caped from jail here at 3 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon. The keys were ieft by the warden in the office and are believed to have been handed to the prisoners by a negress servant. officers were soon in pursuit and within two hours seven of the prisoners were recaptured. Considerable interest is felt at Kingston, Jamaica, in the organization in New York city of the United States and Central American Steamship Company to run steamers to Jamaica and Central American ports... The | WILL ESTARLISH MONOPOLY. The Insurance Business in Italy to Be Sold | to Ons Company. Roar, June 12.—It is reported that the gov- jernmont has found that it would not be ex- pedient to adopt the proposal to establish a monopoly in petroleum, and has therefore abandoned all further consideration of the ques- tion of adding to the revenue by the establish- ment of such monopoly. It is said, however, that in order to obtain an increased income the government will substitute a monopoly of the life and fire insurance busi- ness in place of the proposed petroleum monopoly. It is estimated thatthe’ granting of a monopoly of the insurance business of the country will add the sum of 50,000,000 lire ($10,000,000) to the revenue. Such'a monopoly would seriously affect the American com- panies, which do an immense insurance busi- ness in Italy. —— IN WALL STREET TODAY.

Casey announced that there would be no objection to the grant- ing of the request, but that under no circum- stances was anything to be removed from the building iteelf. Gen. Baichelder said that the building was in his charge aud he would sce that this order was faithfully observed. Gon. Casey then announced that the court was adjourned subject to the call of the senior member. Gen, Casey told a Star reporter that the pro- ceedings of the court will be public. FUNCTIONS OF THE couRT. ‘The functions of the court are precisely simi- lar to those of a grand jury. They will in- quire into the circumstances attending the accident, and if they make an ex parte case against Col. Ainsworth or any other officer of the army, he will be ordered for trial by court-martial and formally tried for the offense and punished if convicted. In other words, the present court is to determine AL BATCHELDER, merely whether an indictment (to uso a legal term) shall be found against Col. Ainsworth or 42,364 bushel any officer of the army connected with bushels.

When the witness was asked as to whether he knew Col, Ainsworth when he saw him he replied with seemingly much feeling, “I do, sir, Ido, sir, Let me say en ni he contin- ued. “When Col. Ainsworth, or Capt. Ainsworth as he was then, was detailed to take chargo of the division, some gentiemen went to him to arrange to have the clerks in the division pre- sented to him and Capt. Ainsworth replied: “I don’t want to see any of them; they will know me soon enough.’ ” The coroner remarked that they would not gointo matters like that. Witness said he had not seen any_timbering or “shoring up” of the building. The witness said that Mr. Gage, one of the kilied, had told him he bad applied for temporary leave on ac- count of the danger in the building. The coro- ner asked if such a leave was applied for where the application would go. the witness said that there was a certain red tay It would go to Mr. Brown and then to Mr. Jacob Freeh, the chief clerk. Mr. Thompson spoke of Mr. Frech as “the right bower of Col. Ainsworth, the chronic pessimist of Washington city,” and the coroner advised him not to let his feelings be shown in his testimony. He was questioned at some length asto the mode of getting leave. He said that an application would’ not state for what the leave was desired except at certain seatons. ONLY ONE STAIRWAY TO THE MAIN BUILDING. The witness said in reply to Mr. Warner that ‘there was but one stairway in the main build- ing. In the annex there was another stairway, used by Mr. Brown. The stairway in the main building was not sufficient to let all the clerks make a hasty exit. He had heard clerks remark that the stair- would go down, but witness thought they were well constructed. They were five or six feet wide. Mr. Warner showed the witness a blank form of application for leave, which wit- ness identified as one used in the office. “Would it have prejudiced the case of a clerk,” asked Mr. Warner, “if he had stated in his application that he ‘desired leave on ac- count of the dangerous condition of the build- ing’ Undoubtedly it would,” said the witness, with emphasis. “What,” asked Mr. Warnes, ‘‘wore the rela tions between the clerks in the building and the officer in charge?” A MOMENTARY SENSATION. “That of abject fear,” said the witness. This reply caused a momentary sensation. There was an instant of silence and then a burst of applause from the spectators, among whom were many of the clerks. ‘The coroner got to his feet at once and made aspeoch, in which he said he would have to have the’ room cleared if such demonstrations were made. “Was tho condition of feeling on the part of the clerks,” said Mr. Warner, “of such a character as to prevent them from making sug- Restions to Col. Ainsworth as to the safety of building?” “It was, Mr. Warner,” said the witness, “emphatically it was.” The witness going on said Col. Ainsworth was supposed to bea physician and to havea knowledge of hygiene, yet on the floor where he was employed 125 clerks were sandwiched in and there were but three urinals and eight wash basins provided. The coroner here checked the witness, saying they were not then inquiring into the sanitary condition of the building. Replying to Mr. Warner witness said fear had never worked upon him, for it did ot enter into his composition. “Do you know of any application made for leave during the time of this excavation based on fear of the result of the alterations?” asked ‘Mr. Warner. “Except that of Mr. Gage, none.” MR, WARNER'S REASON FOR INQUIRIES. Mr. Warner said he made these inquiries be- cause they were given to understand that there was a state of things existing which would have jeopardized the position of any man if he had attempted to communicate to Col. Ainsworth any suggestion or fear about the safety of the building. “Undoubtedly that is so,” ejaculated the wit- ness, Application after application had been made, he said, to get outof the building by transfer or otherwise. Some bad succeeded and tome bad not. These applications were not on account of danger, but on account of the treatment the clerks bad received from the authorities. “Whom do you consider the authorities?” asked a juror. “Who was the man you were afraid of” r. Ainsworth,” replied the witness, “and his right bower, Mr. Frech.” Mr. Kellogg asked the witness if he could state any cases of injustice to clerks. “Tcould make a list of them,” said the wit- ness, ‘tas long as the Moeaic law.” RAD NO ANIMUS. Mr. Perry here whispered to the coroner, who thereupon atked the witness: “Are you aware of having any animus in this matter on account of any treatment you have received or supposed injustice! “Nothing at all, air,” said the witness, “ox- cept the treatment that one gentleman should receive from another. I have not had that. I have been treated unjustly, but that would not actuate me a second, sir. ‘The coroner here ‘received two communica- tions from official messengers. and he read them for the information of the jury and the public, One wax from Attorney General Olney, offering assistance from the department in the examination of witnesses, The coroner said he had declined the offer, as the district attorney had a representative there. NO WITNESS WILL JEOPARDIZE HIS POSITION. The other letter was from Secretary Lamont, and was as follows: dn the matter of the investigation now in progress before the coroner's jury in regard to the loss of life on June 9, 1898, at the 10th street building which was occupied by tho record and pension office of the War Department, the department is informed that apprehension exists among the department employes that they may jeopardiza by testifying before the j Tt ecome lly neceseary Tor me to say that such apprehension is entirely groundless, but to allay any such fear as may exist, I beg to inform you that no employe of the department will endanger his position in any way on account of any such testimony given before the coroner's jury in this case. Very respectfully. Daxrev 8. Lamont, Secretary of War. SEFFERSON W. CARTER Jefferson W. Carter, 1132 10th street, a clerk in the office, who was employed on the third floor of the building, was the next witness, Mr. Carter was asked by Mr, Warner about the feelmg between Colonel Ainsworth and his cierks, but Dr. Schaeffer interrupted, saving that the investigation must be confined to the cause of the calami Mr. Warner replied with some feeling that a great many extraneous subjects had been introdaced and some of them had showed a bitter feeling against Col. Ainsworth. He thought be hada rixht to ask this question in order to satisfy kis mind whether there was or was nol any prejudice on the part of witnesses that would cause them to do injustice to oilicers | of the government. | DIGOING His GRAVE. ‘This flurry passed over and Mr. Carter said, in answer to a question, that there had been « common rumor among the clerks that the building was insecure. He had heard casual coinments about the im- security to the building while the ex- cavation was being made, and only the other day—June 3 or 4, he supposed—Williain Schreiber, who was killed in the Jisastor, said to him, pointing to the excavation, ter, I see they're digging your grave.” Both Schreiber and Mulledy, who were killed, had frequently spoken to him about the dangerous condition of the building. A RECESS, David H. P. Porter was next called, but be- fore his examination was commenced, as it was 1:10 o'clock, at Mr. Warner's suggestion, a re- cess was taken until 2 o'clock. oe Lean Professional Men.

It was all over the case of Lieut, Gessford. who was tried recently by the Police Trial Board upon a charge of intoxication upon complaint of Sergeant Daly. It will be re- called that while this case was pending Lieut. Gessford swore out a warrant against Sergt. ry. and the case was sent to the but has since been ignored, trial board submitted the case to the Commissioners without recommendation, and they promptly acquitted Lieut. Gessford, and issued an order which was significant in its terms. It declared, among other things, that promotions on the force could not be gained by officers bringing charges against ther superiors. After a special mecting of the board this afternoon Mr. A. A. Lipscomp, with Sergeant Daly, appeared and asked for a bearing. It was granted. Mr. Lipscomb stated that his client had been unjustly treated. The general order of the Commissioners wax an imputation against his character, and he destred a reopen- ing of the case, feeling sure if the Commis- sioners heard the testimony in full they would have acted differently. There was no use dis- cussing the matter. Some one was guilty of perjury or some one was drank, and his client wanted the matter settled. If it were shown that he had lied, he did not desire to be a member of the force, but he wanted justice. The testimony taken before the trial board was not submitted to the Commissioners in fall, but was garbled. Commissioner Parker got uneasy. He has given this case a large portion of his time, and, finding nothing in it, disposed of the matter, and said he hoped it was all ever. Sergt. Daly assumed a belligerent attitnde and stated that the caso had already cost bim over £400 and he would like to have the matter farther investigated, +o that the imputation of perjury might be removed from his name. Mr. Parker eaid: “Do you suppose the Com- missioners hare nothing better to do than to open up old rotten police trials? I for one do not propose to make the Distriet a trench for you to air your personal grievances, If you are innocent and spoke the truth your testimony will show for itsclf. I am heartily sick and tired of this tempest in a tea pot. Sergt. Daly, you should do your duty, and not go about tram) ing up charges against an old officer because happened to take ple of drinks on a day when a man’s life was in danger.” “The Commissio: have been imposed upon,” ‘aid Sergt. Daly, whereupon Commis- sioner Parker with a disgusted looked excused himself. When be had gone Sergt. Daly, turn- ing to Commissioner Ross, said: “Maj. Moore is prejudiced against me, and it isallon account of the Boteler case.” Mr. Lipscomb endeavored tosilence him, but he re- iterated the statement. Mr. Lipscomb staied that if his client could not get w hearing from the Commissioners he would go eisewhere. THE CHILDREN'S GUARDIANS AND THEIR WARDS. Mr. Herbert W. Lewis, agent of the board of childgen’s guardians, in accordance with seo- tion7 of the act creating the board of chil- dren’s guardians, today submitted to the Commissioners through the superintendent of charities drafts of forms for certain histori- cal records. ‘These are intended, he says, to meet fully the requirements of section 6 of the law and to exhibit in accessible form and petually all the information which may_be de- sirable regarding the children who have become the wards of the board.

In it each child will be given a page, the number of which will correspond to his consecutive number in the record of first entry. In addition to the information specitically provided for on each page, a concise statement will be written in from time to time as anything worthy of record occurs in connection with a child. The daily report will be a volume of 120 folio Paes: Providing records space for 120 months, tis intended to show at the close of each day exactly how the wards of the board are then provided for,and at the close of each month, to account for all who have come under the care of the board up to that time, and also the number of days board furnished by any institution keeping children at théex- pense of this board. The forms have been approved by the super- tendent of charities and che Commissioners. TRE WORK NOTSE AND THE PooR HOUSE. Mrs, Anne M. Gangewer writes to the Com- missioners today concerning the work house and the poor house. She thinks they should be under different heads, separate from each other, and says while she will not say that no man can be found who can efiiciently supervise both, thinks that the supermntendent lacks some of the important elements essential tosuch a position, The work house she says should be under a warden who will sirictly enfores the rules and laws laid down by the Commissioners and the courts, She suggests that the school for «mall chil- dren in these institutions be re-established, 60 that they may learn something besides mischict. their surroundings are bad, their ignorance deplorable and the incentives to evil are many. A small sum set apart to re-ostablish this school for these little ones would be prodactive of good to all concerned. STREETS To BE SWEPT.

A delegation of residents it and property owners on F and G streets northwest, west of 17th street, appeared before the Commissioners this afternoon to urge the consideration of the tof the opouing and paving of F street to the river. The case was presented by Mr. W. B. Webb, who handed the Commissioners a petition, signed by the resi- dents and property holders, avking for this im- provement. e petition sets forth that the only deep water harbor the city has lies at the foot of F and G_ etreets and much of the heaviest heuting is by way of G street because it is open tothe river. If F street was opened through to the river and paved it would be a virtval prol of Pennsylvania avenue by the route of the public way south of the treasury, of the Presi- dent's house and of the State Department, and would greatly shorten the route from the eastern. part of the city to the river front.
