To cheer him would be irreconcilable with our honoi and dignity.” The rest of Singer's words were drowned in a storm of vehement protests, which only subsided when Von Levitzow called the speaker to order. The house then opened the debate on a motion to abandon the pending prosecutions of some of the soclallst members. Haron von Manteuffel, tho conservative leader, took oc- casion during the debate to inveigh strongly against the conduct of the socialist mern- bers today. The centrists (clericals) again introduced the motion for the repeal of the anti-Jesuit laws, which was defeated at the last session. The house adjourned until Tuesday, when the budget will be introduced. Ulrich also sprang to his feet, and, amid GERMANS PROTEST, ‘Why that Country Objects to Our Duty on gar. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The president has sent to congress the statement of the German contention in reference to the discrimination against the Importation into the United States of German sugar, to which reference was made In his message to congress. The state- ment is in the form of a ieiter from Secre- tary Gresham to the president. In substance it is a recital of the German protest made August 25 last against the additional duty of one-tenth of 1 cent per pound imposed by the ‘Wilson act on sugars imported from bounty- paying countries. The secretary says the dis- crimination s pointedly at vartance with the treaty stipulations and holds that payment on exported products cannot be considered in the light of a discrimination; certainly not mors 50 than the Imposition of a protective or practically prohibitive Caty on the importa- tien of an article. Tha two measures are the same In principle; the question as to which shall be adopted Is a matter of domestic policy. Each is Intended to create a national advantage in production or manufacture and between the two the bounty s more favorabte to the inhabitatnts of forelgn countries, since it tends to enable them to get cheaper articles at the expense of the bounty-payihg govern- ment. In conclusion the secretary says the additional duty levied on bounty-paying sugar by the act of 1894 is a discrimination, that it i an attempt to oftset a Jomestic favor or encouragement to a certain industry by the very means forbldden by the treaty. He as- sumes, however, the German government does not clalm the treaty (iade with Prussia in 1828) affords any just ground for protest against additional duties on sugars not shown 10 be the produce or manufacture of Prussia, JINGO DEMONSTRATION FALLED, Welcome to the Returning Prince In Eng- land ¥ell Very Flat, LONDON, Dec. 6.—For several days past Jotters have been appearing in the news- papers urging a demonstration to welcome the prince of Wales back to England as a recognlition of his important work in further- ing the Anglo-Russian entente. For in- stance, & letter signed “Old General” urged that space should b reserved at the railroad station in order that loyal clubland might rightly receive their parent. The Times and other newspapers had leaders on the subject HBut when the prince of Wales and duke of York arrived here today, the duke of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, the duke of Cam- bridge and a few others composed the throng assembled to greet the princes, Outside of the rallway station it is true a large crowd was assembled, but the prince and his son were only feebly cheered. Explanation Does Not Satisfy England. VIENNA, Dec. 6.—A dispatch from Con- stantinople says Sir Philip Currie, the Brit- ish ambassador to Constantinople, is dis- satisfled with the porte's statements that the Armenian outrages were only ordinary acts of brigandage, and he has made fur- ther strong representations to the porte that Great Britain is aware that the affair partook of the nature of an uprisiog on the part of the Armenians owing to the intoler- Wble situation, the absence of security for life and property and the depredations of the Thurds. Sir Philip holds that the official communique was intended as a guide to the lssion and to prefudge the case. The ettlement of the difficulty as to the 'menlan patriarch with regard to the con- ation of the National assembly to elect a new patriarch is due to the efforts of Sir Phillp Currie. It is reported that disturabances have occurred In the Zeitun district in the mountains of Asia Minor and the Sassoun. Refused to Cheer the King. BRUSSELS, Dec. Deputies today, during the discussion of the budget and social list, the soclalists sub- mitted a motion protesting against the civil 1ist of the count of Flanders, a brother of the king, in the name of thelr republican convictions. A tumultuous debate ensued, after which the premier, M. De Burlet, enlled- upon the Chamber (o join him In cheers for the King. The conservatives and liherals responded warmly, but the soclnl- ists replied with prolonged shouts of “‘vive le people, a bas les capitalists.”” (Cheering for the people and shouting down with the capitalisty). g Elooted to the Academy.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6.—A vigorous ef- fort will be made by leading colored men at the fabor conference to be held in Denver next week to have the word ‘‘white" stricken from the consititution of the labor organizations. Toda Issue of the Chris tlan Recorder, the organ of the African Methodist Episcopal church, contains an open letter to John Burns, who has come this country from England for the pur- 8 of attending the conference, urging pouse the cause of the colored men in the fight for equal rights. The latter says in part: n the name of the rights of labor we ask you to make some notes for your country- men at home concerning more than 8,000,000 workingmen in this country, who suffer the greatest injustice at the hands of organized labor In the United States. In the name of these colored workmen we urge you to re- port upon the conditions which exist in this country and to recommend that there be no co-operation on the part of the British trades unions until the American trades unions shall glye all workingmen in this broad Jand equality of opportunity. The people for whom we spesk, sir, are not for- cigners. They are not the Poles and Hun- garians and Italians, whose condition has already provoked your compassionate and fraternal interest, They are among the first comers, They arrived with the other first families of Virginia early in the seven- teenth century. Their great and only crime consists in having been born black. “In_your home In England you have doubt- less read the horrible stories of. midnight Iynchings in the south; the crime to which we invite vour attention is organized throughout this broad land, perpetrated in open_daylight and is tenfold more horrible, Mr. Powderly made a magnificent stand for justice at Richmond, and his influence began to wane from that moment. Mr. Gompers has attempted to do something,| but he stands almost alone. There are & lew leaders like these, who, unable to In- augurate an agitation' for equality, would welcome from you a frate-nal word of warn- ing to the effect that they who would de- mand their rights must respect the rights of others. - - DEMANDING RETRENCHMENTS, South Dakota County Commissionoers Cat- ting Down Lawyers' Fees. CHAMBERLAIN, 8. D, Dec. 6.—(Spe- clal)—There is considerable discussion throughout the state at present concerning the reduction of the salaries of the various state's attorneys. There seems to be a gen- eral sentiment all along the line that the salaries of these oficials should be reduced. Several counties have already fallen into line, namely: Douglas county, where the county commissioners at a speclal meeting fixed the salary of the state's attorney for the coming year at $400, w reduction of $200 from the salary paid at present. The county commissioners of Aurora county also reduced the salary of the state's atiorney from §100 to $40. Miner county pa; state’s attorney $600. Sanborn county tax- payers are demanding that their Board o County Commissioners meet not later than December 31 to fix. the salary of the state's attorney at an amount not greater than $100 per year—the sum which has always been pald up to the present year, Tnvolved a Nebraska Woman, , 8.

Levi McGee (pop.) defeated Fowler by eleven votes. Fowler clalms that there was fraud practiced In several precinets and he should nave the seat. e —— Moy Inventor's Rich Strike. GUTHRIE, Ok, Dec. 6.~Paul Flerbacher, a German boy, has Invented a railrcad tie and has been offered $50,00 for the inven- tain state; that the Grand Central bank has chosen another elsewhere, and that the Cen- tral Association of Mining and Manufactures has donated fully a third. Nothing is in- tended to be assumed here concerning the truth or falsity of the assertions or accusa- tions, But these malfeasant charges have an ex- istence. The way of thelr riddance is plain. If the choice of the constitutional members of this body were left to the mass of voters in the state the criminals would be infinitely lessened. They would not altogether disap- pear, but no reasonable grounds could be given for thelr support.” At the close of Mr. Turple's speech Mr. Morgan of Alabama gave notice that on Mon- day next he would call up the Nicaragua canal bill, with a view to explaining it and making some remarks. Mr. Dolph of Oregon called up the bifl ex- empting from duty foreign exhibits at the Portland, Ore., exposition, and the bill was passed. A bill was passed for the national dedica- tion of the Chickamauga and Chatanooga Na- tional park on September 19 and 20, 1895, under the direction of the secretary of war, and then, at 1:50 p. m., ths senate went into executive session and at 1:55 adjouroed until Monday. IN THE HOUSE, New Members of Committees Appointed by the Speaker. ‘WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—At the opening of the sassion of the house today the speaker announced the following committee appointments: Wheeler, democrat of Ala- bama, ways*and means; Sibley, democrat of Pennsylvania, appropriations; Harrison, dem- ocrat, Alabama, judiclary; Tate, democrat, Georgla, naval affairs; Little, democrat cf Arkansas, Indian affairs; Hicks, republican, Pennsylvania, public buildings; Tracey, dem- ocrat of New York, merchant marine and fisheries; Bromwell, republican of Ohio, railways and canals; Harter, democrat of Ohio, private land claim; Robertson, demo- crat_of Louisiana, library; Sorg, democrat of Ohio, military affairs; Bromwell, republi- can of Ohio, expenditures in state depart- ment; Mr. Griffin, democrat of Wisconsin, militia; Ogden, democrat of Loulsiana, levees and improvements of the Mississippi river; Moore, democrat of Kansas, militia; Breckinridge, democrat of Kentucky, ex- penditures of the Treasury department; Coffin, republican of? Maryland, mileage; Mr. Henry, democrat of Maryland, expendi- tures in the Postoffice department; Ogden, democrat of Towa, expenditures in the post- office; Coffin, Maryland, private land claims; Grifin, democrat of Wisconsin, arid lands, and Mr. Moore, democrat of Kansas, expendi- tures on public buildings. Mr. Livingston, democrat of Geargia, from the committee on appropriations, reported the fortifications appropriations bill and gave no- tice that he would call it up as soon as the pooling bill was disposed of, and Mr. O'Nelll, democrat of Massachusetts, reported the pension appropriation bill, The consideration of the raflroad pooling bill was resumed under the special order adopted_yesterday. Mr. Cooper of Florida, a member of the commerce committee, declared the bill had four important features. It authorized and legalized railroad pooling, and in doing so it gave a new grant of power to all the rail- roads of the country; it provided amend- ments to the procedure section of the pres- ent law in prescribing rules of evidence (a good feature); it changed wholly the crim- inal liability ‘for discrimination rates, and lastly it changed the remedies for cause of action. While he doubted the advisability of granting pooling powers to railroads, he was willing to agree, if such pooling should be allowed, it should be under the direct con- trol of a responsible commission. He of- fered a substitute to meet his objections to the Dbill, Mr. Henderson of Towa asked if the fact that small shippers under a pooling sys- tem would not be able to get the advan- tages of the low rates now given big ship- pers would not justify the passage of a law legalizing pooling. Mr. Cooper replied that that was the only condition which could induce him to vote to authorize pooling, but he would not do so unless safeguards and restrictions not con- tained in this bill were provided to pre- vent the abuse of this proposed enlarge- ment of the charter powers of the raliroads. Mr. Gresham of Texas and Mr. Morse of Massachusetts spoke in support of the bill and Mr. Danlels of North Carolina fol- lowed in opposition. At the conclusion of Mr. Danlels’ argument the house, at 4:45 p, m., adjourned until tomorrow. SAT DOWN ON CLOTURE. Democratic Senatorial Caucus Unfavorable to the Vest Mensure, WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—~Today's demo- cratic caucus directed the “steering commit- tee" to prepate an order of business which would present for the consideration of the sen- ate the following subjects of legislaticn: A bankruptey bill, a bill for the construction of the Nicaragua canal; a currency bill; bills for the admission of Arizona and New Mex- fc:; a bill involving the interests of the country; for the consideration of the joint resolution of the house on the selection of United States senators by the pe:ple, and | such other measures, including the appro- priation bills, as the “steering committee may deem important. That in their report to the caucus the “steering committee" shall provide the order in which the above sub- jects of leglslaticn shall be considered. The caucus was in session from 2 o'clock until 4:30 p. m., and almost the entire time was devoted to the discussion of the first proposition of Senator Daniel, instructing the committee on rules to bring in an amend- ment for a cloture and the speeches were at times very spirited. Senators Vest, Vilas, Berry and George made speeches favoring th propositicn, while Senators Gorman, Mor- gan, Palmer, Harrls, Pugh and others op- posed it with vigorousness and warmth. The speeches were in the same vein as those which have been made in the senate, except that the speakers discussed party questions with more freedom, polnting out the fack that cn one side the democrats would soon be In the minority in the s:nate and probably in need cf the protection which the present rules would afford, while on the other side the advocates of cloture urged the lmpor- plicable, or to the postal agency at Shanghal. the order is as follows: ‘‘By virtue of the authority conferred upon the postmaster gen- eral by section 6,912 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, and in view of the fact that ail the countries and colonies of the civilized world, with the exception of the Cape Colony, the Orange Free State and certain islands that are now embraced in the universal postal uniom, it is hereby ordered that on and after the 1st of Jan- uary, 1895, the the postage rates and condi- tion ‘applicable to articles of corfespondence mailed in the United States, addressed for delivery within the universal postal union, shall be applicable also to similar articles addressed for delivery at places not em- braced in the universal postal union, except as hereinafter mentioned. ““This order does not apply, to articles des- tined for Canada, Mexico ‘or the United States postal agency at Shamghal, to which more liberal postal rates and: conditions now apply. WILSON 8, BISSELL, “‘Postmaster General."” WINDING UP RECEIVERSHIPS, Broken Banks to He Taraed Over to Stockholders When Outslders Are Paid. WASHINGTON, Dee. 6.—Representative Dewitt Warner of New YorK has introduced in the house a bill to mmend the law of June 30, 1875, regarding the appointment of recelvers of national banks. It provides that when banking assoclations' are placed in re- celvers’ hands, and when the comptroller of the currency has pald to ecreditors (not in- cluding sharehoklers . who | are creditors) whose claims shall haye been proved the full amount of such claims, and the redemp- tion of circulating notes has been provided for, the comptroller hall call a meeting of the shareholders, at which ‘they shall elect an agent. When the agegt ha§ received votes representing at least a majority of the' stock in value and number of shares, and when the shareholders have executed a bond for the discharge of all clalms thereafter proved against the assoclation, the comptroller and the recelver are to transfer to the agent all the undivided or uncollected of other assets and property of the commission then re- maining in their hands. The comptr.ller and receiver shall thereupon be discharged from all liabilities to the association and to its creditors and shareholders and the agent is authorized to finally settle and distribute the property in his hands. MONEY FOR THE MISSOURL Appropriation Recommended for ments Opposite Sloux City, WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—Major McKenzie of the engineer corps, im & veport on river and harbor improvements, says that Quincy bay, IlL, ts in need of further improvement. There has already been expended on the im- provement of the bay the sum of $82,500, and the last river and harbor act allots $15,000 for dredging the channel of the bay. The surveys can b> made with avalable funds. H. F. Hodges reports a prelminary ex- amination of the Nebraska side of the Mis- souri river opposite Sioux City, Ia., from a pot In Nebraska, where an extension of the lower limits of Sioux City, Ia., would inter- sect the Nebraska side of the river, and up the river to a point in Nebraska opposite the mouth of Big Sloux river, He thinks the por- tion of the river referred to is worthy of im- provement to the extent mecessary for the protection of the caving bank between the revettments already constructed and the South Sioux City front. prove- Cost of Collecting come Tax. WASHINGTON, Dee, 6—The appropria- tion committee received this afternoon from the treasury the estimate required to carry the Income tax provision of the tariff bill into effect for the remainedr of the present fiscal year, beginning January 1, 18%. The estimates for the collection of faxes until uly 1, 1895, aggregate $245,005. The ap- propriation to provide for the collection of the income tax will be incorporated in an urgency deficiency bill, the consideration of which will be ready on Monday, and will be immediately passed. The bill will prob- ably precipitate the first general political skirmish of the session. The eastern mem- bers, irrespective of party, will, as a rule, oppose the appropriation,’ and ' the debate will probably bristle with acrimony. Al- though it is expected the republicans gen- erally will vote against the apprcpriation, the democrats express themselves as en- tirely satisfled it will carry. Pashing the Pueific Ratlroads' Bill. WASHINGTON, Dec, 6o~The committee on Pacific railroads today decided to ask the rules committee of the house for a spe- clal order setting apart & time for the con- sideration of the commfftee’s measure pro- viding for the readjustment and settlement of the debts of the Paeifie railroads now maturing.

There is much interest in a report to the State department from James Smith, United States commerclal agent at Mayence, dated August 30, upon American beef in Germany, in view of the blight that has been cast upon the trade. He describes the extensiye ar- rangements made in the way of putting on fine new steamers, of refrigerators, ctc., for an extensive trade in meat, and points out the superiority of American meat over Aus- tralian beef as it reaches Germany. He says: Phe agricultural supplement to the Ham- burg Correspondent, one of the best know: journals of Germany, In commenting on this new attempt to introduce American beef and cattle into Germany, says, in suo- stance, that the experien hitherto met with in the importation of cattle for slaugn- ter leaves no room for doubt that In qual- ity and value for slaughtering purposes for- elgn beeves stand not a_ whit behind Gi man. On the contrary, they excel the Ger- man’ beeves, because as a_rule, In physical constitution’and freedom from' disease, the American cattle so far imported into Ger- many, and especially those which have come’ to Hamburg, have been singulary free from tuberculosis, which 1s & matter ot serious consideration, 'In view of the wia road existente Of (his disease nmong cat- tle in many parts of Germany, there having been only 0.115 per cent of the cattle im- ported from America found to be afficte with this discase, against a percentage of 1 or 2 per cent on the part of German cat- tle examined at the slaughter houses. Another report from United States Consul Keenan, at Bremen, speaks of the excellent condition of the American stock landed in Bremen. The cattlé were perfectly healthy, their ings and livers being not only fit for use, but of an excellent quality—a condition rarely met with in German cattle. This consul adds a most important supple- ment to his report, dated November 13, after notice had been given of the edict of prohibi- tion of our meat from Germany. He say that immediately after the edict a carload of cattle came from Bremen in excellent con- dition and good prices were realized for their meat. The consul says: *‘However much the fear of Texas fever may have been caused by importing American cattle in Germany, and how much the people in the United States may think this measure is simply for retal- iation, the facts remain that the fear in the one case would b> absurd and the judgment in the other not altogether true.” PICKLER LOOKING AFTER SETTLERS Congressman Pickler called at the Indian office today to obtain an estimate of the amount of money necessary to pay those of the Crow Creek settlers who have not yet received their allowance due them by la There are quite a number of these sottlers who did not appear before General Pease, commissioner appointed to report on the clams, and who have not herctofore estab- lished' their identity and received their pay- ment, and Congressman Pickler wants to g:t an estimate of the amount due them in order that he can have provision made for the pay- ment of the money in the Indian appropria- tion bill of this year. Major Pickler also urges the early opening of the Yankton In- dian_reservation in South Dakota, He learned at the Indian office that a number of peti- tions have been filed asking that the reserva- tion be not opened until spring, as that time will be more desirable to the settlers. Mr. Pickler says that this will be satisfactory to him, as he only urges an early opening of the reservation in the interest of the settlers themselves. Postmasters were commissioned today as follows: Nebraska—Amos W. Shafer, Arbor- ville; Samuel Reeves, Beverly; Samuel Ne ley, Midway. Iowa—Robert Wright, Dillon; Neilie R. Wilson, Stanhope; Charles E. Cha- ney, Jam Towa postmasters appointed well, Wapello county, L. S.

Keateor, Watertown district, de- cision affirmed and land awarded to Sibert, GOLD LEAVING THE TREASURY, today: Bid- OmMelals Fear Heavy Demands of the Yellow Metal for Export. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The cash balance in the treasury today was $154,727,085, of which $109,560,123 was net gold. This is a loss in gold since yesterday's report of $1,- 581,807. The treasury officials offer ns ex- planaticn of this decrease, but the informa- tion comes from New York that during the last three days the subtreasury has several times been obliged to meet demands for gold in exchange for legal tender, but s far as known here none of the g:1d withdrawn has yet been exported. The present high rate of sterling exchange—$4.88—makes it probable, however, that befcre the close of the present week considerable amounts will be withdrawn for export to France, where the demand just now is greater than in Eng- land. The treasury officials decline to dis- cuss the probability of extensive withdrawals, but it is believed they feel apprehensive of still further losses. Demand for Americun Horses in England, WASHINGTON, Dee. 6.—The secretary of agriculture has recelved from United States Consul Lathrop, at Bristol, Eng., a state- ment showing that the cost of car horses 1 bought In Wales and the middle of England ure will pass the senat> and become a law, but he sees no reason why the house can- not act. BOTH ARE AGAINST BOYD. Bissell and Morton Don't Want the Ex- Governor Appointed. WASHINGTON, 'Dec. 6.—(Special Tele- gram.)—There has been no change in the condition of the Omaha postmastership since yesterday. Ex-Governor Boyd seems to feel mcre earnest in his belief that he will be appointed, but department officials today con- firm their statement of yesterday to the effect that Boyd's name is practically elimi- nated and that he is-no longer a factor in the case. Of course, under the present ad- ministration, the decislon of cabinet officers have been overruled frequently at the white house. This fact seems to buoy ex-Governor Boyd on the theory that where there s life there is hope. But in this case not only is the postmaster general adverse to Boyd, but the secretary of agriculture is for Connoyer, and both of these cabinet officlals are popu- lar with the president, and it isn't likely that they will be overruled.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6—The senate was In executive session today only long enough to permit the reference of the new Japanese commercial treaty to the committee on for- elgn relations, which was done without reading. It {s' understood there will be ne opposition to this treaty by the Pacific coast senators for race reasons, such as was made by them tc the Chinese treaty. No Necessity for WASHINGTON, Colonel G.

NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—Frank Sanger was the first witness before the Lexow commit- tee today. He stated that he was the mana- ger of Madison Square garden. Since he had held that position there had been five boxing exhibitions there. The witness testified that on the night of the Corbett-Sullivan ex- hibition William A. Brady, Corbett's mana- ger, came to him and drew $250 from the box office to pay the police to allow the exhibi- tion to go on. “At whose morey ?"” demand did Brady pay the “I understand it was Captain Schmitt- bergel The money was charged to Mr. Brady’s personal account.” William A. Brady was then called and de- nied the story. He said he drew about 70 per cent of that amount and gave it to the stage manager, Ben Sherwood, for the pur- pose of defraying the expenses of the show. “Well, Mr. Sanger has sworn that you drew $260 to pay Captain Schmittberger,” sald Mr. Goff. *Did he perjure himself when he swore that?" At first Brady refused to answer this ques- tion, but subsequently said that Sanger's statement was substantially true. Mr. Brady denied that he paid any money to the police for the Corbett exhibition after he had defeated Sullivan. He gave the stage manager a present of §50, but did not know what he did with it. “And you will swear that you never paid over to any other person any money to be paid to the police?’ “1 will.” The subject of the French ball was next taken up. The officers denied having paid money for police protection. Some of the former officers of the ball and some of the attaches and employes told different tales, however. The Lexow committee dipped into all the naughtiness of the French ball, and some of the country members of the commit- tee seemed very much shocked at the ac- counts given, but these statements were emphatically denied by the officials of Cercle de I'Harmonie, the society which has the French balls in charge. According to their statements there was no high kicking, and the ball would compare favorably with any of the soclal events given by any of the fra ternal, benevolent or charitable organizations of New York City.

He would not need them did he act independently, falrly and openly. The Rev. Mr. Nealey is the acting secretary of Archbishop Corrigan, in the absence of the Rev. Mr. Connolly. ~ The Rev. Mr. Nealey, however, docs not state that Archbishop Cor- rigan has requested him to speak for the archbiskop of New York. HAD B KIND TO CORRIGAN. “I cannot be tempted into an exposure of Archbighop Corrigan's second letter to me through the alleged utterances of his grace and his secretary, Father Nealey. It seems to me, should I give to the public Archbishop Corrigan’s letter, marked private, I would be Judged as a violator of good form and honor. Archbishop Corrigan has placed himself in a position of persistent persecution of men for the past ten years. Why his grace should have been so misguided 1 cannot fathom. I owe nothing to the archbishop of New York and he owes me much. Before coming to this diocese I was kind to him in the extreme, when he was a suppliant and a stranger In New York, as he knows. As coadjutor arch- bishop, with the right of succession, he was unknown and humble in New York. He came to my house almost every week. He rode with me in my carriages and slelghs before my devotion to humanity forced me to rid myself of these vanities. “I was not in all particulars like the young man in the gospel. Could not say I had kept in perfection the commandments from my youth without spot and blemish; but I can say, however that I have been most faithful and sacrificing as a priest, and I have never been a frequenter of disreputable places. “The Lexow committee is seeking to know something of the character of Rose Bell's and her successor, Evelyn Bell's, house on Thirty- sixth street. Inspector Willlams and Captain Westervelt m'ght give some ecclesiastieal in- formation as to that house to the senate com- mittee, “The Kev. Mr. Nealey's permission to me to publish Archbishop Corrigan's letter, marked private, was a very shallow trap, I still affirm that his grace has not answered my letter of November 27. His second letter of November 24 is not an answer to my first letter. On November 27 I sent him the fol- lowing: TAKES SOME EXCEPTIONS. I must take exception to a few expres slons 1 never took for granted any supposi- tion without first obtain'ng proof. As a priest and gentleman ! am not bound, in my opinion, to indlcate to any one who the person or per- sons are who may give me a confidence, T would not be a true pricst or man did I indi- cate to you or others the per:on or persons who give me confidences without their permis- sion, ““The grievances alleged against not founded on truth and fact. God knows, I have been the wronged per- son, I have never entered into any con- spiracy against you or any other man, I have always fought in the open and I always hope to do so. . “‘Your excellency cannot be ignorant of the fact that priests at the cathedral have by their own letters given evidence of evil methods. You, it is sald, are not responsible for their acts, but if they have abused your confidence and imposed on your good nature, why do you deflantly hold on “‘You cannot blame me if I have reason to complain, ““I wish to be frank and inform you T have letters of yours in my possession, sent me by the New York Press, requesting that it should say certain things about me. Your letters are not typewritten, but in your own har.dwriting, “‘During_the troublesome times that have passed, I have been obliged to be on the defensive. I do not think it is fatherly to deal with priests or laymen as I have been 1t with by others. ‘I greatly regret the trcuble that has been inaugurated anew in New York. The pacific efforts of the apostolic delegate are for the present apparently nullified. ‘I trust honorable peace will soon reign with all of us.’ “‘On last Sunday morning, December 2, T sent this brief note to the archbishop: ‘You sent me a letter on November 24. I respect- fully answered that letter on November 27. T recelved no Intimation that your excellency has read my letter of the 27th, I deem it necessary (o write these few words, fearing it would be safd I had not been courteous to my ecclestiastical superior. You have given me no reasons why I shouid not attend the sessions of of the Lexow committee on Monday, and I say to you in my lettcr of the 27th, I have always fought in the open, and always hope to do so, therefore, I think it prudent, respectful and wise that I should inform you that T am golng to the Lexow in- igation on Monday.'

Several shots were fired from the end of the train and the pas- ngers were warned to keep their heads in the windows. The train was detained ten or fifteen minutes, during which time those who caught a glimpse of the proceed- ings *saw three masked men with guns leveled march the engineer and trainmen in and out of the baggage car. When they finished their work the robbers made the engineer back the train over the trestle, and while it crossing disappeared thick forest, T passengers Kept so close while the train was being robbed that they did not know much about what was golng on, and the railroad and express officlals will mot talk. It is not known how much booty was secured. The robbers had posses- slon of the express car untl they accom- lished thelr object, One valuable packge s known to have been obtained. A train was held up several years ago at the saine ot i
