THE LIBERAL UNIONIST VIEW. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—Mr. Joseph Cham- | berlain of Birmingham, Eng., arrived on | the steamship Majestic this morning. When Mr. Chamberlain was at Queens- town he received by special messenger a | copy of Mr. Gladstone’s now famous Edin- | burgh speech. | After thinking it over for aweek,Mr. Cham- berlain said this morning that he did not care to talk about it. He did not care. in | fact, to talk about English politics at all. | “Can you not give the public your opin- | ion of Mr. Gladstone's relations to the house of lords?” “That is a big question to discuss under these very miscellaneous conditions,” he answered with @ smile. “It seems’ very evident that Mr. Gladstone is in no hurry | to appeal to the country on the basis of home rule. “Mr. Gladstone dare not go to the coun- try on the home rule bill now. The situa- tion has changed since that bill was re- jected by the peers. Any election now would imply home rule and the abolition of the house of lords as at present con- stituted. The latter suggestion would af- fect Englishmen in a very different light to that in which they regard a measure which reaches them only indirectly. In other words, the abolition. of the hereditary house would be bound to come home very closely to the English electors. I will, perhaps, ask and do so with feelings of Uncertainty, ‘What next? “Will the premier appeal to the electors on other broad questions of lberal re- form?" know of no such questions that can jarise at present. Besides no question can |be brought forward which is sufficiently impressing to overshadow the home rule | bi. The Irish members would not stand |that for a minute. The government ma- jority, composed of various elements united under Mr. Gladstone's leadership on the one great subject, would be further divided should more radical measures be intro- duced. “No, the history of the British govern- ment for the last forty years has shown that no administration is likely to last more than one term, notwithstanding t urgency of the matters in hand. I see no reason to think that there will be any de- viation in favor of Mr. Gladstone. The election must come and come on the home rule question and I think that the present majority will find its remnants on the other side of the house. British electors are tired of having all the wheels of parliamentary legislation clogged by one question which seems no nearer to a satisfactory settle- ment now than before Mr. Gladstone was restored to power by a combination of weaved elements which were expected to remove this political drag.’ a SOUTH CAROLINA'S WHISKY. Gov. Tillman’s Co! preme Co ST. LOUIS, Mo., Oct. 5—A United Press dispatch from Washington has been print- ed here, stating that the supreme court had decided in favor of the petitioners in the celebrated Palmetto trade mark case. Governor Tillman of South Carolina was shown the dispatch at the Lindell Hotel, where he was hard at work as a member of the committee on resolutions of the Pan- American bimetallic congress. After reading the decision the governor said: “I have been expecting this and for that reason carried the case to the supreme court. The object, however, is only to pro- tect the state. Our label was the palmet- to, and it would have been a very easy mat- ter for outsiders to have flooded the state with whisky in counterfeit bottles and counterfeit labels. This prevents them from doing so. We do not, however, now that we have won the case, expect to go into the business and sell whisky under the label outside of the state. The decision in one way affects the dispensary law. I am very glad to know the result of the case.” a LOCKE CANDIDATES CHOSEN. Canvassing the Votes Cast in the In- dian Territory Electio: TUSKAHOMA, I. T., Oct. 5.—The Choc- taw council yesterday canvassed the votes for national officers, who were elected last August. Although the Johnson party had a majority in both houses and many bal- lot boxes were thrown out, still all the can- didates on the Locke ticket were elected by large majorities. The Locke men were jubilant and will control legislation at the next session of the council. ‘There are some big schemes coming up before the council, among which will be provisions for the sale of six million acres of laad now leased to the government for the use of the Comanches and Kiowas. This means about $7,500,000 more cash for the Choctaws, and they are all anxious to get it a INTERNATIONAL CRICKET. Piny Resumed in the Match tan LIVINGSTON, S. I.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—At a meeting held at the conclusion of the races at Morris Park last evening the judges of the course investigated the case of the running of the horse Tom Tough in the second race on September 29, and in the fifth race yester- day, and found sufficient ground to warrant their debarring Mr. Jordan of Baltimore owner of the Chesapeake stable, the jockey Clerico and the horse Tom Tough from the THE VALKYRIE LEADS (Continued from First Page.) 1 p. m—Yachts still on southern course, Vigilant in same lead, wind slightly in- creasing, but looks as if race would not be made in given time. 1:122—Yachts moving very slowly, not over five miles an hour, sails beginning to flap. Sea almost smooth’ as glass. 145—Vigilant taking in spinnaker, looks as if race declared off. News by Carrier Pigeons. (By carrier pigeon from aboard the United Press tug.) SEABRIGHT, N. J., 1:30 p.m.—The wind veered around to the south at 1:15. The Vigilant took in her spinnaker and the Valkyrie passed her. The Valkyrie then took in her spinnaker and both boats stood on the starboard tack, with the Valkyrie two lengths ahead. The wind was nearly & dead calm. There is little prospect of finishing the race within the time limit. LATE NEWS OF THE RACE. The Yachts Going V: Last Accounts. 2:30 p.m.—The rate at which the yachts are sailing may be judged from the fact that the Valkyrie has been in the field of @ telescope for over fifteen minutes—that is to say, it has not been necessary to once move the telescope to see her in that time. She ts very slowly getting near the turning point. She is in a southeasterly course, and will round the turning point on tne starboard bow. The Vigilant appears to be feeling the effects of the ground swell more than Valkyrie, and is rolling much more than the English cutter. pac “oa ee SPANISH SOLDIERS CHEERED. Slowly at ‘They Won Praixe for Their Fightin, at Melilla. MADRID, Oct. 5.—The hussar regijnent of the Cadiz garrison was ordered last evening to make ready to embark for Melilla. Capt. Gen. Martinez de Campos has in- formed the government that he has re- covered entirely from the wounds inflicted on him by the anarchist Pallas, and is able to assume full command of the citadel, in case his services be required. The tribes continue to gather near Melllla, and another battle is expected to take place soon. The Europeans of the town are en- thustastic in praise of the behavior of the Spanish soldiers in the fight with the na- tives, and hundreds have applied to Gen. Margallo, commander of the citadel, to be enrolled as volunteers. Last evening all the Europeans in the neighborhood gather- ed at the barracks and cheered the soldiers. — READING’S DEBTS.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—James Speyer says the receivers of the Philadelphia and Read- ing have paid the syndicate which made the $2,500,000 loan to it commission and in- | terest up to October 10.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, Oct. 6.—The Lutheran Syn- od spent a great part of this morning's ses- sion discussing a resolution to levy a per capita tax of 3 cents on all members of the church to provide an entertainment fund, to be used to entertain future meetings of the synod. After a long and spirited de- | bate the resolution was rejected, and the syrod will be entertained in the futace, as in the past, by the members of the con- gregation where it may meet. The subject of home missions took up the | rest of the morning session, and the need | of increased appropriations was urged upon the members. Bishop Wayman of the African M. E. Church was preseut at the session. ‘The final adjournment will take place Friday night. —_—— PICKLE FACTORY BURNED. This Morning. PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 5.—Heinz, Bros. & Company's pickle establishment at 145 Ist avenue was totally destroyed by fire be- tween 1 and 2 o'clock this morning. The loss on stock and building 1s about $30,000. The origin of the fire is not yet known. Insurance, $20,000. The adjoining buildings, occupied by George Wamhoff, glass manufacturer; the Kelly & Jones Manufacturing Co., and D. Chestnut & Co., tanners, were considerably damaged by fire and water. Quite a sensation was stirred up when it became known that J. C. Heinz, jr., had been locked up by the police, charged with setting fire to the Heinz pickle factory. Superintendent of Police Rodger O'Mara has several detectives working on the case and claims to have some damaging test! mony against Mr. Heinz. Mr. Heinz’s friends say that the police department ts wrong in its accusations and promise to prove this. Superintendent O'Mara says that evidences of incendiarism were found about the building by the police, who claim that kerosene was used. Heinz was caught running out of the building. — NEW YORK DEMOCRATS. ce Follows a Reference to the President at Saratoga. SARATOGA, N. Y., Oct. 5.—A bdeautt- ful day greeted the delegates to the demo- cratie state convention this morning, many of whom were astir early. The change in the preliminary roll of the convention in addition to those noticed in last night's reports are the admission of the Cleveland delegates in Schenectady county and of the state machine delegates in Franklin county. Hundreds of people came in on this morn- ing’s trains and the town begins to look Wke convention times. The Albany deiegates caucused at 11 o'clock. Mr. Manning was asked to con- tinue as the Albany representative on the state committee, but he declined, saying that his business interests would not per- mit. He named John Bowe, Albany county treasurer, and the nine of the twelve dele- gates who were present decided to support Mr. Bowe. It was decided today on account of the inability of Judge Gilbert of Delaware coun- ty to be present on account of ill health that William Vanamee of Middletown, Orange county, will place Judge Maynard in nomination. The delegates were in their seats at 12:20 and Chairman Murphy called the conven- tion to order. nominating Daniel N. Lock- wood of Buffalo for temporary chairman. When Mr. Lockwood ascended the stage he was given a magnificent greeting. He addressed the convention, beginning by congratulating the country that “we have a democratic admfnistration at Wash. ington’ (silence). The democratic party is pledged to honest money and in a few days the repeal of the Sherman law will he ace complished in response to President Cleve. land’s message (applause). The democratic party will repeal the republican election law iniquity (applause). aidll, the Pledges of the party will be ful- New York can say to the nation that her two sons who occupy seats in the Senate are true democrats. (Prolonged applause.) Secretary Defreest then called the pre Uminary roll of delegates, when all con. testants sent up their papers, to be turned over to the committee on credentials when appointed. The contesting papers in the following assembly districts were presented: Fourth Albany district, Chautauqua county district. second and third Monroe districts, the Queens county districts, by P. J. Gleason, second Steuben county dis- trict. Other contests to the number of about seven or eight were presented to the state committee before the convention, and they will be turned over to the committee on contested seats. At 1:34 the convention adjourned until 10 a. m. tomorrow. Dr. West Held for Murder. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 5.—The prelimi- nary examination of Dr. West, charged with the murder of Miss Addie Gilmour, was concluded yesterday afternoon. His at- torney claimed that there was no evidence to connect West with the crime, and asked for his dismissal. The court denied the re- quest, however, and held the defendant to answer to the superior court without bail. IN WALL STREET. Market Dull Somewhat, Owing to In- terest in the Yacht Race. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—Today’s market opened irregular, with no important busi- ness in sight. London was dull and but Uttle affected by the 1-2 per cent reduction in the Bank of England rate, to an even 3 per cent. Trading 1s still influenced by Washington advices, and news from other sources has no preceptible effect on prices. The room is confident that something favorable will soon be disclosed at the Capitol, and that the long-desired stimulant will be given speculation. Pending the vindication of these theories the market has become dull almost to stagnation, and traders are pa- tiently awaiting development. There is no disposition to buy stocks and still less to sell while rumors of coming legislation are 80 generally current. ‘The attendance at the board was below the average this morning, owing to the superior attractions of the yacht race, and this of course contributed to the dullness. As proven at the close of yesterday’s trading any attempt at realizing results in lower prices and temporarily turns the sentiment of the room in that direction. ‘Trading is handicapped, no matter which way it heads, by reason’ of the doubt as to whether the’ bulls or bears are to profit by the disposition of the repeal bill, and |n0 important movement can be undertaken until the mystery is solved. Rumors of a receivership for Union Pa- cific have been in circulation for several days. Corroborative assurances from per- | Sons in position to judge are not lacking and the street generally is inclined to pre- dict lower prices for this stock. A decline of 1 per cent to 18 was recorded | today. Reading was strong at an advance of 13-8 per cent to 191-4; sugar gained 1 per cent to 90, and Chicago Gas reflected a | sim#ar improvement to 60. Manhattan was dull at an advance of 11-4 per cent to 126 1-4 and Lake Shore opened up 1 per cent at Sterling was dull and has ceased to be a feature. Posted rates were 481486. Louisville and Nashville earnings for the fourth week last month decreased $131,990, |and Missouri Pacific for the same period | decreased $258,000, The loan committee canceled $750,000 in certificates and called $960,000 for cancella- Yon tomorrow. The daily report of regular business shows exchanges, $78,516,042; bal- ances, $6,531,700, and the subtreasury’s debit balance, $1,081,504. Money rates were unchanged at 2 and 212 for call and 6 per cent for time loans. Nothing transpired during the afternoon to arouse interest in speculation and the business of making quotations was almost entirely neglected. Some fracturing of the senatorial slate was hinted at, but no im- portance was attached to the rumor, be- cause the room prefers to consider the pas- sage of the repeal bill assured. The closing was dull and uninteresting, with prices fractionally below the best figures for the day. MR. PERRY ARGUES For the Defense in the Ford’s Dis- aster Case. CLAIMS WEAKNESS OF INDICTMENT. Mr. Taggart and Mr. Perry Cross Swords on a Legal Point. ARGUMENTS TO BECONTINUED eee In the Ford's Theater disaster case Mr. Perry resumed his argument this morning. Mr. Perry said the life of the law was the reat principle of reason which underlies it, but, judging from the arguments of the government, it seemed that the counsel for the other side had forgotten that very im- portant thing. The government had mis- judged the real reason and purpose of the authorities quoted on both sides. Despite their contention manslaughter was, said Mr. Perry, still a felony in this jurisdiction. ‘That being so, where death resulted from negligence the general rule that in malic- jous manslaughter all were principals ceas- ed, and only those actually doing or pres- ent aiding in the doing of the criminal act could be treated as principals. The others, said Mr. Perry, if guilty at all, were guilty as accessories before the fact, and as such they must be separately indicted, and only tried after the conviction of the principal. But suppose, continued Mr. Perry, that it were true that in manslaughter all con- cerned were principals, then it came to the broad question: For ‘what acts of com- mission is a man not under disabilities reponsible? The answer was, said Mr. Perry, that he is () primarily and directly answerable for his own acts and for their usual and probable consequences; (2) he is also as responsible for the acts of others which he aids, abets, procures or com- mands, and for the usual and probable consequences of such acts, and @) he is further as responsible for the acts of others who are associated with him in some com- mon scheme of action, if such acts are of Probable commission in the carrying out of such schemes, But in the first instance only Scott, Burl, Dant and Pullman could be indicted; in the second Thorpe and Ainsworth could also be joined with the foregoing only upon the further hypothesis that the digging under the pier in an improper manner was the Probable consequence of the doing of the work under the contract and specification.

In the case at bar the digging was legal, and that was the extremest common purpose all had.

Ainsworth being so prominently put forward. There were other reasons, replied Mr. Taggart, but the government was not obliged to further disclose its case. Mr. Perry—We know all of them. Mr. Taggart—No; I'm inclined to believe not, from what you have said. Discussing the degree of the alleged responsibility of the four defendants, Mr. Perry contended that their duty in the premises was not a common duty. If it had been it would have been proper to have inquired whether actual circumstances rendered it temporarily exclusive upon one, and the inquiry should have been con- tinued to fasten, if possible, separate and consequential duties upon the several per- sons guilty of the negligent omission. But, urged Mr. Perry, in any event there would certainly be a clear definite Mability on the part of the person whose duty it was in the first place to remove the pressure on the pler before digging, and whether that Nability could under ‘any circumstances extend further, criminally, was the ques- tion at issue. Replying to an inquiry of Mr. Perry, Mr. Taggart stated the position of the govern- ment to be that, where a common duty was Imposed or assumed, the persons re- sponsible could not differentiate their com- mon duty to escape the result of their neg- ligent omission. Asserting that a man ts responsible for his own acts only, Mr. Perry stated that the reason of the rule was impregnable, for & man could not be made responsible for an act or omission which was not his own or which he did not in some way advise or direct, unless it was the probable conse- quence of an act or omission of his. “So.” said Mr. Perry, “put the case as you can, you can never make my omission the cause of his, or his a probable result or sequence of_mine.” Stating that the indictments were fatally defective because they charged both com- mission and omission, Mr. Perry declared that in the charging part of the indictments, the most substantial and Important part of them, there was an utter and fatal failure to allege a single fact which could be trav- ersed, And, said Mr. Perry, to construct from the language of the indictments any definite charge, resort must be had to ar- was undeniable, claimed Mr. Perry, that the indictments were for an omission by four of a common duty, resting at the same time upon all and each of them. and that very fact, he asserted, disclosed a case which was dispunishable.” While it might well be that other facts existed which would make the case different from what the pleader had stated it to be in the two in- dictments, the pleader could frame no in- dictment to cover it. for there had been, as the pleader had stated the case, asserted Mr. Perry, no crime. At this point, 12:55, a recess was taken un- til 1:30. After Recess, Resuming his argument after recess, Mr. Perry emphasized the great importance of certainty in an indictment, and said that the cardinal principle of the law was that the pleader in criminal cases must clearly aver and not argue. He then referred to the case of the United States against Bar- ber, where the Court in General Term of the District decided that no degree of em- phasis of the mortal act of the defendant will suffice to allege that the deceased did die. The allegation, to be sufficient in law, must clearly state how and by what means the deceased met death at the hands of the defendant. That is, sald Mr. Perry, the homicidal act of the defendant should be clearly alleged. The effect of the court's decision, explained Mr. Perry, was that conclusions of law did not supply defects in allegation of facts, and that was true of the case at bar. CAPT. MITCHELL’S CASE. ‘The Charges Suid to Have Been 3 ned, but Mercy Recommended. Assistant Secretary Hamlin, who has di- rect supervision of the affairs of the reve- nue marine service, informed a Star re- porter today that no action will be taken by the department in the case of Capt. John C. Mitchell of the Crawford until he has had an opportunity of conferring with Secretary Carlisle in regard to the matter. Secretary Carlisle is out of the city today, but will be at the department tomorrow. It is understood that the board that inves- tigated the case reported that the charges had been sustained by the evidence and recommended the accused to the mercy of the department. There is no question that Capt. Mitchell will be suspended from duty and that he will be severely reprimanded. —s-____— Attorney General's Estimates Attorney General Olney has submitted the estimates for the Department of Justice for the fiscal year ending June 30, 18%. ‘They aggregate 36,225,025, which 1s a less amount than has been appropriated for the depart- ment for several years back. ‘Among the larger Items in the estimates are: Fees and expenses of United States marshals, $1,207,925; fees of witnesses, $1,150,- 000; pay for jurors, $625,000. LONG BRIDGE PILING. A Communication Received by a West ‘Washington Man. An officer of the Georgetown Citizens’ Association, fearing that if the Secretary of War granted the asked for permission to the Pennsylvania railroad to allow them to drive additional piles in the Potomac about the Long bridge it would still fur- ther injure the river navigation above, addressed a communication to that gentle- man a few days ago requesting him to give an audience to the West End’s representa- tives, who desired to present their objec- tions. Today the following answer was re- ceived: Sir: In reply to your letter of the 28th ultimo asking on behalf of the Georgetown Citizens’ Association that they may be af- forded a hearing in opposition to the prop- osition of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com- pany to drive additional piling in the Po- tomac river in connection with repairs to the Long bridge I have the honor to advise you that the company so modified their Tequest as to ask authority for the driving of temporary piling for the purpose of en- abling them to make the necessary repairs to strengthen the truss of the bridge, said piling to be removed upon completion of the work. Approval was thereupon given to the request, with the proviso that the piling driven by them should be removed by the 16th of December, 1s. ‘ery respectfully, DANIEL 8.

Car No. 9 of the Georgetown and Ten- leytown Electric railroad this morning at bout 10 o'clock, while coming down the steep Incline known ar reservoir hill near Road street, ran into a three-year-old child named John Peyton Belt and knocked him down, inflicting a deep and ugly cut across the face. The little fellow was playing on the track just in front of his home, 1677 2d street. A crowd quickiy gathered about the bleeding form and began to demand uccounts of the manne’ in which the ac- cident had happend from the motorman and conductor. Both held themselves blameless. When the child was carried within his home Doctors Appleby and Shekells were summoned to attend -him. They pronounced the wound hurtful and even serious, though not necessarily dan- gerous. Internal injuries, though, may de- velop themselves. The conductor on the car was Boucher and the motorman, Cook- sey. Car No. 9 is the sume one that ran down and killed young Harry King near Tenleytown about three weeks ago. The injured boy is a grandson of Mr. John Kaiser of 34 street and a son of Mr. Ran Into by ——_—.—_—_ & GENEROUS BEQUESTS.
