ks i THE OMAHA DAIIL BEE: THURSDAY. MAY 9 1880 KYRLE BELLEW DON'T KNOW, Some Sensational Testimony in the Carter Divorce Case. EVEN THE BUZZARDS WEARY. The Evidence Hardly Up to Their Vicious Oraving—The Actor in Doubt About Some Am- portant Matters. Fias Mrs. Oarter Been Fibbine? Onicaan, May 8.—[Special Telegram to Tne Bee]—Lawyer Mills read Kyrle Bel- lew’s cross-oxamination, this morning, in an intensely dramatic style. It was sparring for points between him and his cross-examiner. The English actor denmied having breakfasted with Mrs. Car The ques- tions brought it out that Mrs. Carter had told a fib, She had said in her dircot testi- mony that she had not sent a note to Kyrle Beliew, from the steamer on which she ro- turned from Kurope. “Whno brought you the note! the maid " “I don't know. I don’t notice maids.” “Nor maidens either (" “Not more than other men3" and so on. Mr. Bellew says that at one of the Del- monico dinner parties, one of the Blaino boys, he couldn’t remember whether 1t was Walker or Emmons, was present. The audience was beginning to got very tired when suddenly a point was reached where the questions and answers were once more very interesting. Bellew was asked if he had given lessons to Maria Harris, of London; he said he had and that she was an actross Then came the query: ‘“Did you ever give instructions to a Mrs. Woodgate!” Here the witness became angry. “‘That has nothing to do with the case,’ said he, hotly. I decline to answer questions touch- wng my relations with Mrs, Woodgate.” Do you know Eva Sothers This seems to have made Mr. Bellew farious and he de- clined to answer, The objection made by Mrs. Carter's coun- sel to admitting this testimony as to the moral eharacter of the most noted co-re- spondent of the case, summoned as a witness for the oratrix, brought up quite a legal tilt. Judge Jamioson thought the witness had not been sufficiently nstructed, and that he need not answer those searching questions, unless he wantea to, and ruled out all this interest- ing reading once, but finally it got in by some hoecus vocu Then the question was asked Mr. Bellew it he ever had any children. He said he did not know. Yesterday he denied having been a futher. The next question was: “‘Did you ever rec ogvize & child as yours!” This ‘was fought over and finally ruled out. )o you know Mrs, Van Voorhees?” That got Mr. Bellew angry, and he thought it was 8 shamo that all his acquaintances should be dragged into a divorce case. After some further sparring, as to who eise he had in- structed, Bellew said he had taught Mrs James Brown Potter the partof ““Cleopatra, in a cottage in Hennequeville, France, with the assistance of a Mrs. Dallas Glynn, of England, an expert in such matte “¥\'crv:' you married in 18861 Did your wife get a divorce?” No, T divorced her; that is as different as striking and being struck.” “Were you ever a co-respondent vorce case ! ‘'Never in my life.” On the redircet and recross-cxamination, much alleged spicy testimony was ruled out by Judge oi, to the disappointment of the expect » as the audienco has finall lled. It is said that in the suppressed testimony Bellew aamitted that he had _maintained intimate relations with Eva Sothern, but di¢d pot Kknow whether he was the'father of her child. He aid for its support, however. He denied il- icit rolations with Mrs. Woodgate, Mrs. ‘Van Voorhees, or Mrs. Potter, The next deposition was that of E. G. Gil more, manager of Niblo's Garden theater, and the Academy of Music, New York. Mrs. Carter had asked him to manage her, as he was at that time _managing Mrs. Langtry. She told him that she was studying with Kyrle Bellew, but Mr, Gilmore didn’t want to take the risk of taking hold ot a star un- less he was assured of success, John M. Otter, manager of the Colounade hotel, New ‘York, made another deposition regarding the stay of Bellew and Mrs. Carter at his hotel, but there was nothing startlingly new in_it. Lato in the afternoon Mrs. Dudley, mother of the plaintiff, was recalled, and stated that at the Cooperstown hotel Mrs. Carter’s room opened into hers, and that Mr. Pearce could Dot ave stood at the door of the room and couversed without being seen or heard by the witness. — BANK ROBBERY.

CANADA READY FOR ANNEXATION Erastus Wiman Says the Ties That Bind Her to England are But Sentimental and Will Not Hold. Damned With Faint Praise. ¢ Youk, May S.—Tho senate committes, which 1s invest ng the workings of the inter-state commerce law, and the matter of Canadian roads doing business in and with this country, resumed its labors this morn- ing The first witness called swas Charles Fran- cis Adams, president of theUnion Pacific road. Adams thought the inter-state com- merce luw in many cases a cruel one. Those who obeyed it lost by its operation, and those who evaded it, profited. ‘1 should like, however, to sco 1t universally obeyed and given a fair trial,” ho said, “‘and since Janu- ary 1, I really believe, the law has been bet- ter obeyed than ever before. 1 know, for - stance, that large shippers, who herotofore have practically dictated their terms, can do 80 no longer, The inter-state commeree com- missioners, 1 think, are doing a good work, and L am glad to see they proceed cautiously and deliberately. This investigation, too, is going ahead as rapidly as possivle. Pub- lieity is a good remedy for many of the evils which wo are sceking to mitigate, and tho greatest sorvico the intor-state commission- ers could do the railronds’ in general, would be to prosecute some of the offenders. Noth- g would have a better effect on the situa- tion. Since the first of the year, however, rates have been very well maintained.” Mr. Adams thought a common raiiroad law between Canada and_the United States, and a legalized pool would be a good thing and would tend to bring about a solution of the present troubles in reference to the Cana- dian roads. I you think the inter-state law is a good thing~ then where does all the opposition come fromi" asked Senator Blair. “You must remember the country has been built on a system of distribution, which the inter-state law shakes to its foundations, #nd the long and short haul clauses give in effect to the smaller cites many of the advan- tages heretofore exclusively enjoyea by the larger cities, and the consequence 18 in a city like San Francisco, the opposition is very strong.” “Then it 18 a question of whether the smaller towns shall be enslaved by the larger ones, or therlarger one: up some of their prestige to them?” asked Seaator Blair, “Enslave is u strong word,"” said Adams, “‘but without a question what is taken from one goes to the other.” In conctusion the witness said that while nominally president of the Uuion Pacific railroad, he really knew very little of its practical workings and referred to members of the Union Pacific executive staff at Omaha. At 11:30 the stand was taken by Thomas Lyman_ Green, a_transportation expert of this city. Greon had no objection to a legal pool, but wanted the merchants to have some voice in fixing the rates. At 1 o'clock the committee took a recess until 2, President Hill,,of the St. Paul, Minne- apolis & Manitoba railroad, was the first witness called after recess. He gave an account of the probable route of the future between Asia and Furope. The Canadian Pacific road, he said, had a fast line of steamers running from its western terminus to Asia, and from its castern terminus to Liverpool. *Is there much foreign trade, Asiatic coming over the -Canadian Pacific " asked Chairman Cullom. nsiderable. Some comes over our road, destined for Omaha.” “Why does 1t take such a roundabout course " “Probably because 5or 6 cents a hundred vounds is an inducement. We have a differ- ential rate, and time is no object. It pays to take advantage of the lower rate.” Erastus Wiman spoke strongly in favor of commercial reciprocity. Any atteinpt to shut out Canadian lines from operating 1 this country would be a serious blow to western American farmers, and would be badly received by the Canadian people. “[s it policy for the American people,” asked Senator Blair, “to help, with their re- s, to build up a great nation with a 4 , or at least an alien connection, on the north of us.” ““T'ne tie that binds Canana to England is but a sentiment. The state of New York, today, in a cortain sense, s far more important than all of Canada. Canada cannot stay as she is. She must either become an mdependent republic or join with the United States. 'There are many forces at work in Canada. great party then rest o man, Che hopes of a irely upon one old After the death of SirJohn Mac- 1 will come the deluge.” iman spoke at considerable length on wvarious Jesuit, Catholic and Orange move- ments in Canada, but said farmers, fisher- men and miners all favored commercial union, which, of itself, was a step toward a nnexation. Another Kick on Rates, Des MoiNes, In., May 8.—[Special Tele gram to Tug Bee|—The Elgin, lowa, Canning company complained to the railroad commissioners that their rates are not sutisfactory, their charge to Des Moines over the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern being about 21 cents, while the rates on canned goods from Elgin to Chicago, St. Louis and St. Paul are 20 cents per hundred pounds, with a 80 cent rate to Omala soon to go into effect. The commissioners have answered their complaint to the effect that their rate is a maximum rate, and can be lowered by railroads if they choose to do so, but that the Burlington road is now a class C roal, and thercfore entived to charge 30 ver cont more than the commissioners’ schodulo if it desires, The commissioncrs close their letter with a sharp thrust at the railroads, as follows: “The di imination in rates within the state by which vanned goods have been the past season laid down in Jowa cities at ower rates from Baltimore than the same goods could bo transported from lowa can- ning establishments to the same lowa voints, in the ub sence of joint rates, is ono of the reasons this branch of our industries lan- Ruishes.” The Supreme Court.
