ONE HONEST MAN IN GOTHAM New York Alderman Discovered Who Re- fused to Accept a Bribe, WITNESSES HAVE VERY POOI MEMOR ES Stenmship Agent Testifies to Paylng Money to the Police, but Cannot Remember Who They Were-Books and Papers Sent to France. NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—The Lexow polieo investigating committee resumed work today. Among the crowd that gathered early in the court room were several police captains whose faces had not been seen there before A host of fresh witnesses was also on hand, including a man who had wanted to be a policeman and was swindled in the attempt, an iron moulder who says he was robbed by a policeman, and an amateur detective who will have lots to say about scandal in the Essex Market police court. Warden Ledwith of the police court prison told the committee about certain abuses in those institutions which he was investigating. Agent Forget of the French steamship line testified that his company pald the po- lice for extra services. The policeman on the pler was paid $10 a week and $500 went to other police officials, One of the com- pany's books, which was produced, showed ovember, 1891, $100 had been paid Mr. for “special surveillance on the pier.” Forget could not remember to whom the money was pald. Mr. Goff asked Mr. Fo get if Policeman Degan had been removed from the pler because he refused to divide with the captain the money he recelved from the company. Degan was present in court and Mr. Forget identified him. Mr. Forget's memory again failed him and Mr. Goff's questioning proved without avall, WHAT A POLICEMAN KNEW. Policeman Louis Degan made serious ac- cusations agalnst a captain. He testified that he was stationed on the French line pler for ten years and the company paid him $10 a week for working overtime and on his days off. In 1891 Wardsman Vail told him he must pay the $10 a week to Captain Schmittberger, Degan refused, saying he was already paying the captain $ a week and that they would soon want his whole salary. He was promptly removed to another beat. All the policemen, he said, y with the captain. French line com- sgan's efficiency. When transferred Wardman Gannon demanded the $10 a week formerly paid Degan. West declined to give it without a receint, but a receipt was refused. Wit- ness protested against Degan's removal Captain Schmittberger said the officer had been insubordinate and was in league with smugglers. Superintendent West said the chargs was ridiculon William H. Schatt, passenger agent, fol- lowed.. He did not know of anything of his own knowledge, Mr. Forget was recalled and under an adroit questioning by Mr. Goff admitted that friends of Captain Schmittberger had approached him and begged him not to tes- tify that Schmittberger got $500 or it would ruin him. He professed to not reme who had interceded for the captain. represented to him that Captain Schmitt- berger would be dismissed if the §500 story came out, and for the sake of the captain's family Mr. Forget was urged to ‘keep it dark."” Mr. Forget apologized for his imperfect knowledge of the English language, and said he did not want to go on record as saying he had been approached only in Captain Schmittberger’s behalf. sme one, whom he could not remember, had in the last few wecks asked him not to testify against any police offici named Wolf two him not to testify Mr. Goff and Mr. Lexow wanted to glean further particulars about Wolf, but they falled. Mr. Forget only knew Wolf had spoken to him on sev- eral oceasions. Among Mr. Forget's impressions was one to the effect that seven men had shared in the $600. There his “Impression” faded, Mr. Goff jogged the witness’ memory and brought to mind the fact he had written a private letter to the directors of the company re- garding the expenditure of the $500. He had kept no copy of the letter and the exact contents had escaped his memory. Senator Lexow asked the witness (o cable for the re- turn of the letter. That would cost too much—25 cents a word—said Mr., Forget, Counsel Goff thim got the witness to ad- mit he had writien the list of seven names and told his cashier to divide the $500. Then Mr. Coff laid a cable message blank before the witness. ‘‘Now write the fnstru tions for the return of the letter. We will pay the tolis,” said Mr. Goff. . Forg.t begged to be excused. ill you swear you don’t know who got the $5007" asked Mr. Goftf, “No," “‘Come here tomorrow after you have slept over the testimony,” was the counsel's part- Ing shot as the Witness was leaving the stand. SAMPLE OF THE CLUB PRACTICE. Policeman John Corcoran was called, Mr. Goff held a broken “locust” in his hand and charged the glant policeman with breaking the club over a small man's head. The small man was made to stand by the side of the policeman, who towered above him. The policeman denied he had broken his club on the prisoner's head. He said he shactered the “locust” across an fron railing which the small man had grabbed. Edward Quinn the swmall man, is a laborer. His clothes were iu rags from the rough treatment he had re- celved at the blg policeman’s hands, He sald Corcoran struck him in the face when he reached the station house. He was struck uss he tried to tal James Clifford testified to the brutal treat- ment Quinn had received. When the wit- ness protested he was himself clubbed and Kicked and thrown into a cell. James Hughes had tried to buy a roundsman off from preventing a dog fight. He gave the officer $5. He had thought Herman Wise was the roundsman, but now he thought otherwise. Roundsman Wise was called and denied the incident. He also denled he had threatened to commit suicide in the presence of Police Captain Westervelt if charges wero against him to the effect that he had entered @ citizen's house and held improp r relations with a woman of the family. ellie Weinburg testified she had offered Alderman “Silver Dollar” Smith $850 for protction for a coffee saloon with lady boarders. “Silver Dollar” Smith refused the mones “That [s the most astonishing piec evidenc t”" sald Mr. Goff.

The professor in substance sald: *‘The czar has a powerful constitution and still weighs 200 pounds, though he has lost much flesh since January, and he should be able to make a good fight against the disease.” Prot. Leyden, when asked if he thought the czar would recover, replied: “With favorable climatic influsnces, as at Corfu, or the island of Madeira if the weather at Corfu is not found to be favorable, and without unforeseen complications, he may recover. The illness of the czar is peculiar. His principal trouble is a granulated contraction of the kidneys, in which the kidneys become hard and change tissue, besides being subject to atrophy. This is accompanied by hypertrophy of the heart, resulting from enlargement of its muscular tissue. This latter leads to breathing diffi- culty and is often very painful, the spasms being complicated by fits of unconsciousness. This Is the case with the czar. There is no dropsy whatever, Diabetes fn the prelim- inary stage has declared itself, but it is merely symptomatic and an accompaniment of the main trouble. this malady frequently resulis in partial or ire paralysis. Thus far, however, does not appear to be any immediate danger of this with the P Prof. Leyden was then questioned gard to the manner in which the czar's cure should be attempted. He said: ‘“The most important requirement is the total abstinence from mental worry, and. on this point the czar has been found to be exceedingly diffi- cult to convince. The patient should also have plenty of sleep and food and his dige tive condition should be regular. This with open alr exercise and good elimatic conditions 18 all that is necessary to effect a cure. “Under the most favorable circumstances, however, the disease is of lengthy duration, possibly years, and the results are most un- certain Referring to the prospeets of a regency in Russia Prof. Leyden remarked. ‘‘The ques tion of the appointment of a regency was dl cussed At Spala, in my heariig, but no de- elsion was reached.” Prof. Leyden cemcluded: “A regency will become necessary, however, If a eure is to be effected.” ST. FETERSBURG, Oct. .—1t is said here that if the czar desires he will decide upon a form of regency during his absenee from Rus- sla. The czarewitch will not be appointed regent, but he will be entrusted, by a special declaration of the czar, with the direction of state affairs. The title of régent will be care- fully avoided in this appointment. A Vienna paper reports the ezar has un- dergone an operation. Nothing is known here to confirm the report in re- ENGLISH FOOTHOLD IN JAP. Natives Urged to Study the Language—Ef- fect of the New Treary. BALTIMORE, Oct. 9—Rev. A. R, Mor- gan, a Methddist Episcopaly missionary in Japan, has written a letter from Nagoya, un- der date of September 8, 'to his friends In Baltimore, explaining the treaty recently con- cluded between Japan and England. The new treaty restores Japanese judiclal and tariff autonomy, the formér in five years and the latter in seventeen. This means that British. consular courts, before whom British subjects had to be tried for all offences com- mitted by them in Japan, are to be done away with in five years, and that after seven- teen years Japan will be at liberty (o collect any rate of duty she pleases on imports, Under the present tarilf she can collect but 5 per cent ad valorem. During the five vears period which must elapse before the new treaty goes into operation Japan agrecs to put into operation certain codes of laws which have been postponed for revision. Pending the operation of these codes the new treaty may be deferred for more than five ¥ This is the limit, and one hears (hat notice must be given by the Japanese gov- ernment before the trealy ean be enforced. This also applies to the tariff, On recovering these things Japan throws her whole territory open- to! British travel, residence and trade. Britishers may not own real estate, but may lease, it is inti- mated, for thirty or perbaps as much as fifty vears, She guarantees them perfect liberty of consclence, the right of private or pub- lic worship, the right of burial according to religlous customs, frecdom from all charges and taxes other (han those paid by Japanese subjects, ex-mption from military service and from forced contributions or loans im- posed on account of war, Already the Japanese papers are urging the people to study English, telling them that very soon many English speaking people will be living in_every town in the land, dnd that it will not do for the anese Lo be ignorant themselves of the English language under such circumstances, and o subject them- selves (o the ridicule of the foreigners. 5 e CAPTAIN VOSE'S COURT MARTIAL, Testimony that He liad Complled erstood Them, Oct. 9.—The at Fort Leavenworth officers of the court witness to appear was Lyons of Captaln Vose's battery.

SEATTLE, Wash, Oct. 9—A special the Post-Intelligencer from Newcastle, Wi says: A dust explosion occurred in breast 3 of the fifth level cast of the Oregon Improve- ment company's mine at 3 o'clock, with the esult that one miner was killed and ten are seriously burned, two probably fatally, The explosion occurred at an hour when the sec ond shift changed for the third shift, and all the miners being in the gangways accounts for the small fatality. The dead miner GEORGE PARRISH, aged 19. Tho two probably fatally injured are: DAVID J. LLOYD, married. CHARLES GILES, colored The seriously injured are: George Dobson, Thomas Pitts, Max King, David Powell, Moses Harrold, colored; W. H. Hughes, colored; Jack Paulson and Albert Jennings. Others and some who were knocked down by the force of the explosion are more or less injured FIRE IN A COAL MINE. to Five Men Cuat Off from Escape and Durned to Death SHAMOKIN, Pa., Oct. ¢ workman is dead, four others are enclosed in the mine with all avenues of escape cut off, and the most disastrous mine fire ever known in the western anthracite coal flelds is now raging at the Luke Fidler colliery. All this is the result in brief of a carpenter’s negligence Fitty-five other workmen who were employed in the mize at the time of the aceident had thrilling escapes, as they were compelled to grope thelr way through smoke and noxious gases in order to reach the fresh air and safety. The four men who are still missing have been smothered before this, as all parts of the big mine are certainly filled with smoke and deadly afterdamp. The fire started in the ajrway of No. 1 shaft late last night, and Irvin Bufiington, whom the colliery officlals hold responsible for the disaster, is dead. His body was not burned, his death being due to suffo tion, George Brown, a miner, and his Pol helper, Anthony Boberttik, a driver boy fr Luke Fidler, and another Polish laborer whose name is not known by the mine off clals, are in the mine, and no hope is en- tertained of their recovery. The mine is now A mass of flames and cannot be approached from any direction. It fs feared that the in side workings will have to be flooded, which means many months of idlencss to the 900 employes: Superintendent Morrls Williams Mineral Railroad and Mining company in- formed @ reporter of the Asscclated press that while Irvin Buffington, Jonn Anderson Jr., and others were engaged in retimbering . 1 shaft the former disobeyed orders by lifting his naked lamp In the alr course for the purpose of testing the air. A spark set fire to the timber that was as dry as powder, and the” current earried the flames up and down the shaft ke lightning. BuMngton was advised by his fellow worknien to make good his escape, but he neglected to heed thelr warning, and returned to the bottom of the shaft {n order to exchange his gum boots for his shoes, This delay cost him his lite, and his dead body was recovered In the tunvel about 5 o'clock this morning. Superintendent Williams, Mine Inspector Edward Brennan, Inside Foreman August Hearn and Arthur Kennedy and all the under bosses at the Fidler and Cameron mines, formed three relief parties and entered the mine to rescue the sixty imprisoned work- men by the way of the coal run workings through No. 3 alrway on the mountain and down the new shaft. The latter opening proved a godsend to the men, as it is to this channel that most of them owe thelr escape The smoke spread through the inside work- Ings With great rapidity, and alarmed the men and boys doing night duty in the mine. While the imprisoned men were rushing through the Inside workings in search of an airshaft for an outlet, hundreds of their friends gathered about the mouth of the shaft, and as the fan house was destroyed by the flames the cries ana moans of moth- ers. wives and sisters and children of th imprisoned employes sent chill§ through the hearts of many hardy mincrs, who were waiting for an’ opportunity to assist their doomed comrades. Two of the men were overcome by the smoke while making thelr escape, but the coal run rescuing party suc- ceeded in carrying them out and restoring them to consciousness, The gangs of work- men cannot get to any point on aceount of the fire, and the flames cannot be fought with any success. This mine connects with the Hickory Swamp colliery of the Union Coal company, and if It has to be drowned out it will_compel both mines to shut down for a year or more.

Three hundred men are idle in censequence. ELROY, Wis, Oct. 9.—A company of Wisconsin republic distinguished ns came with nor McKinley from Superior. A speclal 1w ed, which left at midnight on the Omaha road and run down to Chippewa Falls shortly after sunrise. The official ese cort consisted of H. Upham, candidate for governor, Judge Emil Banesch, candidate for lieutenant governor, and other eandidates on the state ticket. There were also Henry C, Thom, chairman of the state committee, Sam= uel Harper, president of the state league of clubs, and others. The first stop was at Chippewa Falls at 7:30, followed by others at Eau Claire, Alltona, Black River Falls, Mer- rill Junction and Elroy. There were numbers at each place and a feature at overy one was the presence of ex-soldiers with streaming flags, o which McKinley Invariably made ac- knowledgement. The governor has been nominated for president in every state through which he has passed, and Wisconsin has taken up the cry with increasing repeti= tion at every place. At Merrill Junction the presence of & number of echogl children cemed to give the governor an inspiration nd looking benignantly over the array of sht young faces, he said: There is nothing like the public school system of this country. It lies at the founs dation of our security and libert It was from the public schools of the country that went forth the courage and patriotism that conquered the mightiest rebellion in human bistory and gave added lustre to the flag which I see you carry here. These publia schools must be maintained. 1 note with pleasure the presence of the soldiers of the republic. I am glad to greet them this morning. We need more patriotism in this country, a little more genuine Americantsm, a little more of that sentiment which means that the people of this country are going to stand for their own interests and Amerlca. We disassociated ourselves from Great Britain mora than 100 years ago, and we did so be- cause we wanted a government of our own, and now we propose that the policy of pro. tection, prosperity and patriotism shall be pursued—a policy which gives the greatest number of people In this country the highest and greatest good," After making short speeches at Recdburg, Baraboo and Lodi, Governor McKinley ar- rived at Madison at 2:30, and spoke to am audience of several thousand people in the University bullding. Several hundred stus dents had previously acted as an escort through the streets. Mr, M. Sheldon, president of the University League of Re- publican clubs, presided and presented Major McKinley, who was received with bolsterous demonstrations. AT WISCONSIN'S CAPITAL. “I have been trying for fftcen years,” sald the governor, “to get somebody to tell me why the foreiguers should enjoy the same privileges in the markets as the American citizen; upon what principle the forelgn producer should enjoy the same privileges as the American producer. Yet there {s & party in this country that has fnaugurated a policy which gives to the foreigners equal privileges with the citizens of the United States, I say no, forever no. The for- eigner is 3,000 miles away. He owes no allegiance to our flag and he does not cope tribute one cent to the support and maif= tenance of this government, while our pep- ple not only do this, but when occaslop alls, contribute the best blood of thefr ons, thefr fathers and thelr husbands, to preserve the nation of free men.” An interesting incident occurred when Governor McKinley began a reply to a speech made in Madison by United States Senatop Vilas. “I was handed,” he began, “as I came into this hall a copy of a speech made by Senator Vilas in this city on the Gth day of September.” A scenc of confusion ensued. Some one espled Senator Vilas seated In an obscure place on a stairway near tha stage and several of the audience yelled derisively at him and some cried: *'Put him uot.” McKlinley, after some effort, quicted the disturbance and proceeded. He pald a high compliment to the first administration of President Cleveland, in these words: “Al- most from the first hour, within three mouths, reducing expenditures and assurng ublic confidence, began to manifest their good effect and with growing vigor rose the general public and business prosperity, which continued to mark the entire res'duc of that administration as the happiest period of bus ness activity, development and success in all directions since the war or since the adyent of republicaniem in finances. “The laws which President Cleveland wi administering were the laws made by the re- publican party. This sally was followed by prolonged cheer- g, ‘1 call attention to the further fact that we were then operating under the protective tariff law of 1583, and all that President Cleveland did during his four years of ofiice was to execute republican laws and re- publican purposes. The reason we had prosperity during those four years was that the democratic party was ~powerless to ghange republican purpose and - republican aws.” BIG CROWD AT BREWERY TOWN. Darkness fell soon after the trfln left Madison and the run to Milwaukee was prace tically uninterrupted, although there were crowds at several of the stations, to whom McKinley showed himself, The speaking here fonight was in Schlitz park, which held an audience of several thousands and was fully up to the highest mark of enthue siasm set by any of the western audiences, A epecial train took the governor to Chicage at 11:90, LE UDIATE DAVID BENNETT, Brooklyn Democratic Club Passes Kesolus tions Condemuing Hill, BROOKYLN, N.
