EDINBURGH, Dec. 21.—At the trial to- day of Alfred John Monson, indicted for the murder of Lieut. Hambrough, the man- ager of the Clyde Mills Company, the sole manufacturers of amberite, testified that an amberite cartridge fired from a distance of six inches would not cause singeing. As an expert in the use of firearms, he gave it as his opinion that Lieut. Hambrough had met his death by stumbling and dropping his gun. The weapon, he believed, had been discharged when it fell to the ground. A person falling instinctively raised his head, and this fact accounted for the horizontal ‘wound in the deceased's head. Mr. Day, agent for a firm of gunmakers, testified that he had been shooting with Lieut. Hambrough and had frequently re- marked the careless way in which he held his gun. Mr. Donald, a boat builder, said that on several occasions he had had to check Lieut. Hambrough’s actions when in a boat, fear- ing that he would capsize it. The payment for the yacht bought of him by Monson had not yet made. Col, Tillard testified as to an accident that occurred in 1871 when he was snipe- shooting. His gun had accidentally been discharged while he was walking on slip- pery rocks, and part of its contents hit him in the head and ear, rendering him uncon- scious. When he recovered, he found that both barrels of his gun had been discharged. J. Brodie Inness, a barrister, testified that the documents signed by the deceased re- garding the £20,0U0 insurance with the New York Mutual Life Insurance Company did not affect a valid assignation. John Blair, a solicitor for Monson, was | the last witness for the defense. He testi- fied that he met Monson on August 25, when the latter was very anxious to find Scott. Advertisements were placed in news- papers and everything was done without pad avail to discover his whereabouts, pat saa ea A BIG FIRE AT SHEFFIELD. Many row Escapes From a Burn- * ing Building.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—A dispatch from Pernambuco states that the cannonading between the government and insurgent forces was renewed at Rio Janeiro Tuesday. Both sides ceased their firing at long range and the damage done was trifling. The Herald’s Montevideo cable says: The Herald's correspondent in Rio sends word that the officers of the German war ships in the bay have given the insurgents unmis- takably to understand that Germany will not permit the slightest interference with her vessels in unloading their cargoes on the wharves of Rio by means of lighters flying the German flag. Eight masters of American vessels in Rio holding special permits from the Brazilian government to discharge their cargoes there have sent a telegram to Secretary of State Gresham asking for protection from the insurgents. Unless this is given they say they are barred from the privileges or- dinarily enjoyed, even in blockaded ports. Capt. Picking of the Charleston has so far refused to give them the same protec- tion that German and British ship captains enjoy. —— Juror Low Declared to Be Insane. NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—The physicians appointed by Judge Barrett to inquire into | the mental condition of Juror Low, who | was taken sick during the Meyer murder trial on Monday, reported to Judge Barrett today that the juror was insane, and was not capable of sitting on the jury. Judge Barrett this afternoon formally dis- missed the jury in the Meyer murder case on account of the insanity of Juror Low. The judge stated that he discharged the jury with the greatest regret, but that it was the only course open to him. eee Methodist Conference in Oklahoma. GUTHRIE, 0.

RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 21.—The five judges of the supreme court of appeals and the eighteen circuit judges will be chosen by the legislature immediately after the Christmas holidays. Intense interest is manifested in the election of the supreme court judges, whose terms of office are for twelve years. The present members of the supreme court bench are republicans, at least they were elected by the Icgislature which was controlled by the Mahone-readjuster ele- ment, and which elected Riddleberger and Mahone United States Senators. Of course none of these are candidates for re-election, although some of them, it is said, have voted the democratic ticket for the past two years at both national and state elec- tions. The candidates for this bench are very numerous, at least twenty-five lawyers aspiring to the honors. The Star correspondent, after diligent inquiry, learns that there are three candi- dates who have been practically agreed upon for three of the five seats. These are Speaker R. H. Cardwell of the house of representatives, Circuit Judge James Keith of Fauquier, and Maj. John W. Riely of Halifax county. Mr. Cardwell, who is certain to fill one of the seats, has been speaker of the house for the past decade, and has frequently been mentioned for a seat in Congress, but would never oppose Capt. Geo. D. Wise for the democratic nomination. He is one of the leaders of the “machine politicians,” and while he is not regarded as an abie lawyer, he is very:popular with the mem- bers of the legislature, and the indications now are that he will receive almost the unanimous vote of the caucus. Maj. Riely is backed by the southside, which element placed Gov. McKinney in the executive chair,and is a lawyer of great ability, He is now commonwealth’s attor- ney of Halifax, and was one of the men selected by the legislature four years ago to revise the last code. Maj. Riely is one of the men agreed upon by the democrats twelve years ago for a seat on the supreme bench, when the readjusters captured the legislature. Keith, the other of the three men, is well known to Washing- His name was seriously considered by President Cleveland as the late Judge Bond’s successor, and he has been promi- nently spoken of in connection with sev- eral high judicial offices. He presides over the eleventh judicial circuit, is an emi- nent jurist, and a man of spotless char- acter. According to the established custom of the distribution of judicial honors, the southwest will be entitled to one of these seats, There are, however, so many candi- dates from this section that it is impos- sible to forecast the action of the demo- cratic caucus in this particular. Kx-Con- gressman John A. Buchanan, it is said, stands the best show of being the south- west’s choice, though he is being closely — by Judge W. H. Rhea and J. H. hlegar of Washington county. Judge Wm. McLaughlin of Rockbridge has also a strong following for a seat on the su- preme bench. Several of his friends have been in the city for some time past in his interest. The claims of Mr. George M. Harrison of the great county of Augusta are being ably pressed by Messrs. Marshall Hauger, George M. Cochran and John N. Opie of Staunton, Dr. H. R. Pollard of this city, formerly of King and Queen county, is making an active fight for one of the seats, and is backed by the tide- water section. Judge W. H. Mann ot Nottoway, who took a more active part in the last canvass than any of the can- didates for the supreme court bench, has developed quite a following. The success of Maj. Riely, however, would preclude the possibility of Judge Mann's election on geographical grounds. Judge R. T. Barton of Winchester is also prominently spoken of in this connection, but has as yet developed no perceptibie strength. Judge Heath of Norfolk is one of the latest additions to the already long list of aspirants, and the city by the sea is presenting a solid front in behalf of its favorite son. — TO SUCCEED SENATOR MARTIN. Wires Alrendy Being Laid by the Kansas Politicians, Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. P TOPEKA, Kan., Dec, 21.—The victory achieved by the republicans of Kansas in the recent local elections has inspired them to enter the campaign for next year with renewed hope, and the battle that will be waged for the election of members of the lower house of the legislature by both re- pubiicans and populists will attract national attention. Already the wires are being laid and pins set for this contest. A United States Senator is to be elected and it all depends upon the election of the lower house of the legislature. Instructions to the Kansas leaders have already been sent out from Washington calling their attention to the importance of a thorough organization of the party this winter, urging the league club plan as the best means of getting the republicans to- gether. The Kansas leaders are told that this state is expected to return a republican to the United States Senate to succeed Sen- ator Martin. With the republicans and populists nearly evenly divided this may not be an easy thing to do. ‘The state senate consists of forty members and holds over. The house is composed of 125 members to be elected next November. It requires eighty-three votes to elect in joint convention. Of the forty hold-over senators twenty-tnree are populists, two democrats and fifteen re- pubiicans. To win the republicans must elect sixty-eight mempers of the house. ‘This, it is conceded, will tax their best un- ergies. joint ballot, and the democrats should have, as they did last year before several popu- lists Were unseated, the balance of power, | it would add additional interest to the sit- uation. ‘she republicans take it for granted that they will elect the Senator and this feeling of ‘assurance has started several robust senatorial booms. Whenever this question is sprung in Kansas the natural inquiry comes, “Will Ingalls be a candidate?” Ai- though retired to private life, his name is inseparably States Senatorship, and other men who as- pire to this honor in Kansas are measured by ‘the Ingalls yard-stick. If they do not possess the burning eloquence and cutting sarcasm which characterized Ingalls’ career of eighteen years in the Senate they are at once read out of the lists by the former worshipers of the rebel skinner. But In- galls is no longer a factor in Kansas poli- tics, and is not seriously regarded as a Senatorial possibility. There are already four candidates in training in the republican camp and they are losing no time in letting their desires be known. One of them, ex-United States District Attorney J. W. Ady, has been in the field since he failed to defeat Martin last winter. He is persistent and deter- mined and will be a strong candidate. J. R. Burton, world’s fair commissioner from Kansas, and next to Ingalls the most bril- Nant orator in the state, has announced his candidacy. Burton is a young man, and for that reason will develop a great deal of strength. Ix-Senator Bishop W. Perkins, it is an- nounced, will return to Kansas and make the fight for re-election. He has been living in Washington since the expiration of his term, but is possessed of a gnawing desire to return to Senatorial life. The last candidate to announce is Judge J. didacy is not regarded as dangerous to the other aspirants. There is another Kansan, however, who the republican party and the people of th | state than any one of the candidates nam- ed. That man is Geo. R. Peck, general su- licitor of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad Company. Although tempora- rily residing in Chicago, Peck is regarded as a Kansan and with his legion of friends over the state could return here and secure more votes for United States Senator than all of the gentlemen named combined. In ability he is the superior of any of them, and, while he has been connected with a creat corporation, he has always been strong with the people. He has helped hundreds of men in different ways, and without hope or thought of reward. There is a strong sentiment for Peck for Senator in Kansas now, and unless he flatly refuses his name will be used in that connection, and chances are even that he will have more votes than the combined opposition. ‘Two years ago when Senator Plumb died Governor Humphrey sent for Peck and urged him to accept the appointment. Peck declined because of his obligations to the corporation he was serving. At that time the sentiment was almost unanimous for Peck, and there has been very little change since. Governor Humphrey delayed the ap- pointment for a week hoping that Peck would reconsider, but he did not and Sen- ator Perkins was same? B. Johnson of Topeka, though his can- | has a stronger hold upon the affections of | it they should fail of a majority on | connected with the United | | by the treaty. SENATOR MORGAN SPOKE. But Did Not Disclose His Opinion of the President’s Policy. Immediately after the conclusion of Sena- tor Hoar’s speech yesterday Senator Mor- gan, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, made his first utterance in the Senate on the subject of the President's action. As it is generally felt that Senator Morgan, holding as he does the balance of Power in the foreign affairs committee, 1s likely to antagonize the President, every word that fell from his lips yesterday was listened to with the greatest eagerness. He made, however, a very diplomatic speech. He introduced a resolution author- izing the committee on foreign relations to investigate the question of whether there have been any irregularities in the diplo- matic relations between this country and Hawaii, especially with reference to the Political revolution of a year ago. The Senator spoke as follows: “I merely desire to say that the committee on foreign relations have expressed, informally of course, a desire to do their whole duty in respect of this question, and to do it im- partially. With reference to the attitude of the United States government toward Hawaii, the remarks of the Senator from Massachusetts and other remarks that have been made on the floor of the Senate, bring up the question whether irregularities have occurred in our diplomatic and other re- lations with Hawaii. I think it is the duty of the committee on foreign relations, of course with the consent of the Senate, to bring before the country all the evidence that bears legitimately and properly upon an inquiry of that character. “Our relations with Hawali today are simply those of a republic which has recog- nized through its diplomatic agencies a government existing in the Hawaiian Islands, to which there appears to be no objection at all on the part of the Secre- tary of State or the President, or any one else, but on the contrary, a recognition, a firm recognition, that leaves the relations between the United States and Hawaii at this moment unaffected by what has oc- curred heretofore. I speak now of the re- lations between the two governments. “The other questions which lie behind that relate to the conduct of the two Presi- dents who have occupied the chief execu- tive office in the United States in reach- ing the result which is now an accomplish- ed fact, which stands before the world, to define the attitude between the United States and the government of Hawaii. That in itself is a domestic question. It is one that now concerns us and nobody else. it is one that touches simply the matter of the regularity and propriety of the action which has occurred on the of either or both of the Presidents of the United States in their dealing with this subject. “My purpose in bringing the matter be- fore the Senate and getting this authority for the commitee to act, is to enable that committee, if it can do so, to satisfy the American mind in respect of the conduct of all its executive officers and their agents. That is the whole scope and purpose of the resolution, and I think it meets the approbation of the committee. I do not pretend to say that it has received the forma assent of the committee.” The text of the resolution, which was agree@ to, follow: “Resolved, That the committee on for- eign relations shall inquire and report whether any, and, if so, what irregulari- ties have occurred in the diplomatic or other intercourse between the United States and Hawaii in relation to the recent po- litical revolution in Hawaii, and to this end said committee is authorized to send for persons and papers and to administer oaths to witnesses.” —_——_-e-—_____ The Closing Foot Ball Game. The foot ball season in Washington bids fair to go out in a blaze of glory. Such, at least, would seem to be the case from the array of “talent” that will line up at Na- tional League Park, 7th and Boundary, on Monday at 2 o'clock. The All-Washington is certainly a formidable-looking team, and in its players the champion C. A. C.’s are certain to find worthy foemen. The Christ- mas game grows stronger and better each year in Washington and has come to be a permanent fixture second only in interest to the Thanksgiving game. Kavanagh and Bookwalter of the Navy team have played many games together in their respective positions of center and quarter back, and the familiarity with each other's play and the thorough understand- ing between them will materially strength- en the All-Washington center. The posi- tions behind the line will- be well taken care of by Bagley, Naval Academy; Ord- way, Lehigh, and Brooke, University of Pennsylvania. In the line besides Kava- nagh there will be seen Taussig, Cornell; the Church brothers, a team in themselves; “old reliable” Pat O'Donnell of Georgetown College and others. The C. A. C. team is well known to the foot ball public of Washington and needs no commendation after winning the cham- pionship this fall.

He Spins a Yai About a Panther Haunt in Corea. Paymaster H. R. Sullivan, United States navy, was at the Normandie a day or so back. The primary object of his pilgrimage to this city was to renew his acquaintance with his brother, who is a member of the Department of the Interior. The officer was brimful of Asiatic experience, and between the puffs of Havana incense, told them in orthodox ward-room style. One of the hair- breadth "scapes" which he narrated was a panther story, colored with a red sea of blood. “Our ship was off the coast of Corea,” said the hero, “when the sporting fever broke out on board. Several of us ad shot jack rabbits and prairie dogs, and we were anxious to get a shot at game that had some bite in it. Our anxiety was appeased. We got what we wanted. Taking a lease on a gang of native Lunters who knew the ropes, we sallied forth toward that part of the land where the danger was said to lie. On the second day out the Coreans espied a track. They applied their noses to the scent, smiled affirmatively, announced ‘panther’ and began to press forward with caution born of experience. The guides declared that from tne freshness of the ear marks the enemy was not a long time off. We took a firmer grip on our guns, opened the breech to see that the shells were ready for instant duty and allowed our thumbs to toy with the hammers. We were traveling along a slight declivity, at the foot of which a stream, weil shrouded in tangled bush, ran. As we approached, there was a splash, a roar and a rustle of the brush. A panther had taken fright and was retreating. Bang! Bang! The animal refused to drop. It threw its head around, snapped at the wounds that had been inflicted in its shoul- der and side, caught sight of us, wheeled and rushed at us with a look as deadly as the trolley. The panther did not come alone. Another—its mate—broke from the shrub- bery at the same time, and was running with intent to commit a banquet on us. The music of the rifles added to the excitement of the moment. The beasts were on One dropped as he reached our line, but other sprang on one of the Coreans and sent him to glory quicker than blowed out gas. But the panthers’ career was spent. They died. A few gruff sighs is all they said. These are their skins.” The paymaster pointed to two splendid furs on the parlor floor, reached down and stroked them in a reminiscent way, while the spectators spec- tated on in awe. ——___-e-_____ May Pardon the French Spies.
