The pamphlet is creating a sensation in financial circles, and at the bimetallic con- ference, It-is devoted to proving that Lord Liverpoo}'s legislation of 1816 was simply a fraud, the object being to cheat the public out of four shillings in each pound, troy welght, of new coin, and that Lord Liver- on made that paltry gain, not for himself, ut for the treasury. Sir Joseph McKenna acquits Lord Liver- pool of intentional dishonesty, and prefers attribute the fraud to his stupidity. ‘The silverites claim that when this is un- derstood it will strongly influence public opinion in favor of the re-establishment of bimetallism. FARRARI ADMITS GUILT. He. Intended to Blow Up Some Capi- 7 talists. LONDON, May 3.—The trial of Farrari and, Polti, the Italian anarchists, recently arrested in this city for conspiring to. de- Stroy life and property, was commenced to- day at the Old Batley before Justice Haw- kins. Polti, who is announced to have turned queen's evidence, looked smilingly about the court room and lstened with every sign of good humor to the reading of the charge against him, Farrari, when asked the usual questions as to his guilt or innocence, replied, in Ital- = ane ity, L-wanted to kill some capi- Polti, in reply to the same question, an- Swered, in English, that he was not guilty.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 3.—The Chronicie prints the following Honolulu correspond- ence under date of April 15, received via Port Townsend by the United States steam- er Adams: © HONOLULU, April 15.—News of the ap- pointment of Admiral Walker to succeed Admiral Irwin and the announcement of the intent of the United States to take pos- session of Pearl harbor and establish a coaling and naval ‘station, which was re- ceived on the 10th by a vessel, and was followed by the arrival of Admiral Walker two diiys later, has set the populace to talking, and many conjectures are being made as to the result of the admiral’s ap- pointment and instructions. The royalist papers declare that the admiral comes for the purpose of taking possession of Pearl harbor, and that as soon as it is accom- plished he will proceed to organize a new government’ They even go so far as to say that Admiral Walker will restore the ex-queen to the throne, The provisional government and the an- nexation press construed Admiral Walker's appointment and presence to mean that the United States has had a change of heart and that the government's assuming control of Pearl harbor sets at rest all doubt as to the course of the United States toward Hawaii and ultimate annexation. This view is based on reports and advices received from the Hawaiian minister at Washirgton, Thus far Admiral Walker has not given cut what he intends to do in this country. There is a serious split in the ranks of the royalist party through the efforts of a pumber* desiring to’ pose as leaders. They expect to receive imfgrmation from their agent in the United States by the next steamer as to‘the hope of restoring the queen. If the reply is in the negative it is anticipated that the party: will-rush in- to politics and endeavor to have all mem- bers of the consiitutional convention elect- ed with a material change in the oath of allegianee. Delegates’ from nearly all of the districts, in the islands have been nominated, and matters in connection with the constitu’ jal convention are running smoothly. re is not the least excite- ment prevalent in the islands. —————— SAILING OF THE VALKYRIE. a Sea Departure f Home of the Crack * British Yacht.

Harr, who lives at Capitol View, ten miles from Washington, bad a desperate struggle last night while return- ing to his home, after leaving the owl train from the city. His house is an eighth of a mile from the railread station, and just as he turned around a bend in the road, not over three hundred yards from his house, two colored men put in an ap- pearance, shouted “halt,” and grabbed him. Mc>. Harr put up a good defense, and fought with the men for a time, when one of them fired several shots from a pistol, it is supposed, to frighten him, as he was calling for help. The struggle lasted for tive minutes, during which time the high- waymen succeeded in capturing Mr. Harr's pocketbook, containing $10.41 and several papers. They then left, running toward the rail- road. The etbook was brought to: the house this morning by a young collie dog, with the papers unmolested, but the money was gone. This morning Mr. Harr’s horse was run- ning in the pasture with his bridle on, and his saddle on the ground near the stable door, show- ing that the horse had been used, and that some one had been at the stable during the night. ‘Phere appears to be no clue as to who the thieves were, as the night was exceed- ingly dark, and Mr. Harr states the men appeared to be total strangers to him. —— Jadge Miller's Term, A local appointment that may be looked | for next week or very soon after is that of Judge of the Police Court.

The annual commencement exercises of the medical department of Columbian Unt- versity were held this afternoon at Al- baugh’s Opera House. The scene was one of rare brilliancy, and the decorations wete of unusual beauty. The setting of the stage Was a realistic representation of a garden. On each side of the board were great clus- ters of green plants and towering palms, whose tops reached high up ‘into the fites. A green hedge extended all around the stage and hemmed in the faculty and students with a wall of flowing, waving foliage. Suspended from the proscenium was a mass of tangled ferns, in which the letters C. U. were woven in the college colors, otange and blue. All the boxes were draped in na- tional ensigns, with festoons of the promi- nently present orange bo blue sil Al- though the students received no flowers, in accordance with a wise custom. of the unl- versity, the footlights were bank: with floral gems. The decorations of the re- mainder of the house were of the animate kind, and comprised mainly the girl friends and relatives of the students, arrayed in the softest and brightest of spring dresses. They applauded their favorites to the echo, and it must have been, as the valedictorian hea one of the proudest and happiest days fe. Promptly at 2:15 the Marine Band, under the leadership of Prof. Fanciulli, opened the exercises with Sommer’s overture. Quickly following this came the rapturous Cocoanut Dance by Tobani,and then, before the merry strains of this had died away, the great musical aggregation broke forth with the stirring Marine Band March, composed by Prof, Fanctulli. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. Macbride Sterritt. He thanked God for the privilege He had accorded them of assembling there and for the peaceful termination of one more year. He accounted it a rich pleasure to assemble as they did on celebration of the event. In the study of medicine and in their endeavor to alleviate the sufferings of humanity the students were following in the footsteps of their Maker. Dr. Sterritt asked a divine blessing on the assemblage, the faculty and the audience and prayed in elo- quent words that He might guide and con- trol the outgoing students in their course through life. He prayed that the usefulness of Columbian University would continue and that it would never cease to exercise its righteous influence in this the national capi- tal. Mr. S. Johnson performed a bell solo which won an outburst of plaudits. Then came the conferring of degrees. This was a solemn ceremony, and so the students seemed to regard it. They received their sheepskins with formal deference and deep gravity, as though they had a full appre- ciation of the importance of the occasion. As Dr. J. C. Welling, the president of the university, would hand 2 student his di- ploma the friends of that student would break out in applause, and in this way the popularity of each student, so far as that audience was concerned, could be readily gauged. The orchestra then rendered “The Dar- kies* Dream,” by Reefs, and this made the people sigh and pat their feet by turns, Prof. J. Ford Thompson, the orator of the occasion, then proceeded to deliver the cus- tomary address to the graduates, Dr. Thompson introduced quite a number of original observations end did not confice himself solely to the conventional lines <ol- lowed by the usual commencement orator. He gave them a good deal of sound advie as to how they should gain professional ex- cellence. and popular confidence. -“The Bachelor's Polka,” by Fanclulli, came next. Mr. Sherman D. Maynard, the valedicto- rian of the class, acquitted himself with especial credit and evolved a choice pro- duction both from an oratorical and literary standpoint. ; The intermezzo “Rusticana” was next on the program, end then came the award of prizes by Prof. W. W. Johnson, D.D. Wm. H. Wunderlich performed a@ cornet solo Schubert's “Serenata” and was rewarded by well-earned applause. A benediction and the “Dolphin March” closed the cere- monies, ) ae ert THE MT. VERNON BILL, The Committee Does Not Take Kindly to Commissioners’ Ammendment. The report of the Commissioners on the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon railway bill, recommending the occupancy of E street from 13th to 15th, does not meet with a great deal of favor in the Housé Dis- trict committee. It is urged that to follow this route will necessitate swinging the line of tracks into Pennsylvania avenue south of the cable tracks at 13th street and will result in occupying almost the entire south half of Pennsylvania avenue with tracks. Moreover the Washington Traction Company is authorized, by a bill reported from the committee yesterday, to cross Pennsylvania avenue at 13th street, and the proposition of the Commissioners, it is claimed, would bring two electric lines and one cable line into a very promiscuous Jumble at this point. Vice President Reed and Mr. A. D. An- derson of the Washington, Alexandria and Mt. Vernon Railway Company talked with members of the committee today about the proposed change of plan. They do not de- sire to come into Pennsylvania avenue at all and would prefer the original plan of coming up 15th street and stopping by the Hotel Randall. ‘Fhey say it 18 not desired to run cars at night at this point, if objec- tion should be made that. the route inter- feres with theater-goers,and as the entrance to Albaugh’s has been removed to Penn- sylvania avenue they see.no, objection to the route. if that plan is not adopted by the commit- tee the company would prefer, as an ternative, to turn out of 15th at D street, thence east to 14th or 13th and back to B.

Mrs. Levy and her, ehildren were in bed aslzep at the time, ‘and there was an ex- citing scene when the flames broke through into the sleeping room of the family. For- tunately they succeeded in reaching the balcony, and from there they were taken to the sidewalk by means of ladders. The flames spread to the adjoining houses, and four houses were damaged before the flames could be eXtinguished. House No. 1007, a two-story frame structure, occu- pled by Thomas Wright, dairyman, was badly damaged, while houses. 1000 1-2 and 1011, occupied by J. W.

WAS NOT KNOWN AS MERWIN _—— Will Be Again Indicted Under His True Name. OTHER CASES POSTPONED District Attorney Birney this morning called up the Ivy City gambling cases in Criminal Court No. 2, Judge McComas. He stated that he proposed first trying the case against George B. Marvin, Otto Town- send, Edward C. Smith and Bert C. Clay- poole, bookmakers, indicted for violating the act of 1883, in conducting bookmaking at the Ivy City race track last Decembe>. Messrs. Jere M. Wilson and James Cole- man, representing the indicted parties, moved that the case against President Geo. H. Engeman, indicted for violating the same act, in permitting gambling to be carried on at the track, be first tried. Judge McComas decided, however, that the matter was one in the discretion of the District attorney, and refused to direct that Engeman's case be first tried. Mr. Coleman then moved that the indict- ment against,Marvin and his three men be quashed, for the reason that there was no such person named as George B. Marvin. ‘The man supposed to be Macvin way in reality, John Newton Bennington, and the name of Pennington did not appear in the indictment. As Marvin was indicted joint- ly with the other three men, the indictment, Mr. Coleman contended, should also be quashed as to them. Too Late to Plead Misnomer. Mr. Birney stated that he was under the impression that Marvin, alias Bennington, had plead to the indictment under the name of Marvin, and, therefore, it was now too late to plead a misnomer. Mr. Coleman said that the men had never been arraigned. They had moved to quash. and that was all. He thereupon requested the clerk to read the record in the case, when it transpired that he was correct. Bennington then made an affidavit to the effect that his name was Newton Benning- | ton, and that previous to the finding of the indictment he had never been known as Geo. B. Marvin. A plea of misnomer was then filed, praying that the indictment be ed. quashed. ‘The district attorney thereupon moved to strike the. plea irom the records of the court, contending that Bennington had, up to the present time, answered to the indict- ment as Geo. B. Marvin, and that it was, therefore, too late to enter a plea in abate- ment. Judge McComas then directed that the four men be arraigned, when counsel for the men objected to that being done until the plea In abatement had been disposed of. The objection was overruled, an exception. being noted. Townsend and Claypoole plead not guilty, and Ewd. C. Smith, a resident of this city, not appearing, his bail of $1,000 ‘was declared forfeited, and a bench warrant issued for his arrest. A Jury Swor Judge McComas then directed that a jury be sworn to try the question of whether Bennington had ever given or had been known by the name of Geo. B. Marvin. ‘The jury was sworn, when District Attor- ney Birney explained to them that they were not to pass upon the guilt or inno- cence of Bennington, but merely to try the issue presented by the plea of misnomer. The manager of the Ivy City betting ring and Bert C. Claypoole, one of the defend- ants, testified that they had never known Bennington to be called Marvin. Benning- ton also took the stand, testifying that his name was John Newton Bennington. He said that on the way to the police station the day of his arrest he told Detective Ca: ter that his name was Marvin. He gave that name because he did not wish his real name to be known in connection with rac- ing matters. At the station a newspiper man, a Star reporter, asked him his initials and he gave them as Geo. B. He also said that he gave that name in the courts. Mr. R. W. Dutton, a Star reporter, was the last witness called by the defense. He said that at the time of the arrest of the men he w told that Marvin's name was Benningto! The answer was ruled out, and the witness was not allowed to state that he had writ- ten of Marvin as Bennington. To District Attorney Birney the witness stated that he had heard Bennington st. to the clerk of court that his name was Geo. B, Mar- vin. District Attorney Birney called )etective Carter and Clerk N. Carroll Downs of Crim- inal Court No. 1, who stated that Benning- ton had answered to the name of Geo. B. Marvin. This concluded the testimony and @ recess was taken at 12:10 until 1 o'clock. A Verdict for Bennington. After recess the matter was briefly ar- sued before the jury, and. then Judge Mc- Comas instructed the jury. He stated that the case was a very novel one, the trial in question being one of abatement on a plea of misnomer, That is, the only question for the jury to decide was whether or not Ben- nington had been known by the name of Geo. B. Marvin. The court told the jury that a verdict in favor of Bennington would not preveat his trial under his true mame, and he there- upon instructed the jury that upon the evi- dence a verdict for the defendant was Jus- tifled. A verdict to that effect was re- turned without the jury leaving their seats, and Bennington, alias Marvin, was there- fore discharged from custody. To Be Indicted Under His True Name, District Attorney Birney then explained that Bennington would be at once indicted under his true name, and therefore asked that the remaining cases go over until that could be done. Mr. Coleman objected, claiming that the case of Engeman should at once be taken u D. Judge McComas, however, decided that the convenience of the district attorney should be considered, and after a con- ference between counsel, it was agreed that some day should be settled upon by them, probably in two or three weeks’ time, for the trial. Bennington renewed his bail and Edw. , Smith, having been arrested on a bench warrant, was released upon payment of costs of attachment. —_——_— Discharging Indian Soldiers.

Forepaugh’s circus attracted a large crowd to the L street grounds last evening, and materially decreased the Coxey follow- ing of persons who have been yisiting the camp to satisfy their curiosity. Four men who came h+re on a late freight train said the circus and not Coxey’s army attracted them. They left the train at Benning, and started into the city. Soon after they cross- ed Florida avenue Policeman Sam. Brown and Special Officer Edelin overhauled them. Two of the men, James Newman and Fred. Studer, said they came here to look for work, 4 when they promised to leave the is morning, Judge Kimball released One of the men, who gave his name as Charles Johnson, had two valises, and in them he had such articles as corn salve, soap to remove grease spots, and snide rings, such as fakirs sell at a circus or country fair, and he was given thirty days, Thomas Mayor was the name given by the fourth prisoner, a comfortably dressed young man. He had run away from his home in Baltimore,and said he was going to see his brother-in-law, Braddy Green, Inquiry showed that Green was sent to the workhouse yesterday, and his wife, Mayor's sister, had been to see the court about get- ting her husband released, She was called into court, and, much to her surprise, she saw her brother standing at the bar of justice. “That's my brother,” she said; “what's the matter with him?” she asked. The judge explained the circumstances of his arrest, and asked if she thought her mother would pay his railroad fare home, but she said she could not answer that question. “I'll pay his way home,” said Bailiff Ken- dig, a perfect stranger to the boy, and the judge released him. —__——_ The premises of Henry Van Dierk. pub- lisher of an anarchist paper in Eustoa square, London, were raided Sunday and the latest issue of that publication was seized by the police.
