It is added that owing to diplomatic objections the plan was not to land any bluejackets from the foreign war ships without urgent necessity for so do- ing. But the signal men ashore and afloat were to remain on the lookout day and night 0 long as the weather was clear and safe. It is added that frequent gusts of snow and ®pray have obscured the signals in the town. Continuing the correspendent says: “All the male foreigners, numbering about thirty, are armed and they are able to hold the Chinese in_check until help arrives.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.—Two cablegrams “were received at the Naval department today from Admiral Carpenter announcing the ar- rival of the Baltimore at Che-Foo, and the landing of the marines there to protect the United States consulate. ~He adds that the commanders of the French and German war ships have pursued the same course. A dispatch io the State department from Minister Denby reports that Chinese peace plenipotuntiaries will leave Shanghal on the 28th inst. by the French mail steamer for Japan, The Yorktown s also at Che-Foo, which 18 a general rendezvous for the foreign men- of-war on the China station, and no doubt Is felt here that all forelgn interests in the vicinity are amply protected. It is not be- Leved that the Japanese forces will attempt to capture the place, which might be easily effected if desired, because of the inade- quate defenses of the town. In the first place Che-Foo has more strate- glo importance, and in the second place it 18 also already well known that the Japanese haye carefully refrained from occupying such ports, probaoly to avold giving umbrage to foreign powers, some of whom are suspected of looking for any plausible pretext for in- terferng in the present struggle between Japan and China. The enly danger to be .apprehended by forelgners at Che-Foo, there- fore, lies in the Chinese troops, who are re- ported to be in a mutinous spirit, but they would undoubtedly be restricted by the pres- ence of the large naval forces now in the barbor. As for the American misslonaries in that part of China, it Is belleved that they are now all in the town Itself, as Minister Denby some time ugo advised them to gather at the United States consulates, and the Yorktown probably gathered up the last of those who remained outside when the Japanese bom- barded Teng-Chen-Foo.

On the 20th and 21st the Japanese, covered by twenty- three of their men-of-war, landed a large force at Shantung promontory to attack the Chinese fortifications of Wel-Hal-Wel. On the 224 a small force was landed at Cheefoo from this vessel to protect neutral cltizens and property. This landing was in common with that from German, British and French vesscls, TORY MAJORITY INUREASED, Liberals' Hopes of Wi Not Justitied by EVESHAM, Eng., Jan, the election which took pla 4 Member of Parllament to represent the south or Evesham division of Worcester- shire In succession to the late Sir Edmund Lechmere, bart., conservative, is that Colo- nel Long, the conservative candidate, is de- clared elected.

Text of the Address Presented by Them to the President. CITY OF MEXICO, Jen. 23.—It is reported here that President Barrios of Guatemala has mortgaged all his plantations and sent the money to Spa'n. Guatemala's answer to Mexico's ultimatum Is expected tomorrow. The students who yesterday declared in favor of war were of the best families of Mexico. The young men are a remarkably intelligent and independent body. It was by their com- bined effort that the obnoxious bill for the conversion of the English debt was thrown out of congress In 1884, They have been remarkably free in thelr criticisms of the government policy, their ideas being usu- ally very radleal and far in advance of the most 1liberal of liberals. For that reason | they have generally been found in opposition to_the administration. The dignified and firm attitude of Pres'd Diaz on tha quest'on of the hour has, how ever, won thelr hearty admiration, and the meeting of yesterday was called to support him in the stand he has taken, The great mass of students rushed up stairs into the palace, shouting for President Diaz. The appearance of President Diaz by a side door was the slgnal for an enthusiastic cheer and his reception partook of the nature of an ov tion. Student Rivera Mutie delivered a eu- logy to the president, who was accompanied by the members of his cabinet. The youth- ful speaker gave a short synopsis of the history of the wars of Mexico and at its close presented the document, which had been signed by the students and hundreds of people. The following is a translation of i “Mr. President: The cause of the father- land is the cause of its sons. The students of this capital have always recelved glorious ideas with enthusiasm. Today, as the In- ternational question pending with Guatemala agitates the entire republic, they come en- masse, impelled by the most ardent patriot- m, to give vote of approval to the digni- fled and energetic attitude which you have observed, and to offer to you their service in the unfcrtunate case that the question will have to be decided by means of arms. We present to you the consideration of our ap- preciation and most profound respect.” DIAZ REPLIES TO THE STUDENTS. The president made an eloquent address to the students, which was frequently inter- rupted by tremendous applause. He sald in substance that the government esteemed and appreciated the offer so generously and nobly made by the patriotic youths. The addre and the vehemence with which it had been presented w. hut natural, owing to the fire and ardor of youth, but the pending diplomatic controversy is nearing the danger point and might carry us into war, in which event we would then accept and employ the contingent that made this voluntary offer. (Immense applause.) He further stated that he not say that the neighboring republic would insist in its erroneous course, but should it do so, in the war that would fol- low . Mexico would have justice and right on its side. (Tremendous applause.) = President Dinz added that soldiers like himself, of an expiring generation, beheld with delight the energy displayed by those who were going to succeed them and receive in their hands the power and the sacred deposit of the honor and dignity of the fatherland. The applause that followed was indescrib- able. General Diaz closed with a touching reference to the baptism of blood which the youths had so spontaneously offered in_de- fense of the altar of their country, and as the young men have shown themselves so noble and patriotic, he also expected that they would show themselves so when the su- preme moment arrived. The enthusiasm aroused by this appeal was unbounded. There is much activity in the medical de- partment of the army. The Associated press is advised that should war be declared Gen- eral Bernardo Rays of Monterey will be made commander of the Mexican forces. The students who made the demonstration yesterday have decided tonight to form a regiment and give the command to General Escobode. It Is reported that in the different states public meetings tonight will raise men and furnish ample mean: SUSTAINED ARCHBISHOP IRELAND, Bishop McQuuld Reproved for His Attack on His Superlor. ROME, Jan. 23.—The trouble growing out of the attack made upon Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, Minn., by Bishop McQuaid of Rochester, N. Y., has been the subject of an inquiry by the vatican, it having been held by the supporters of the archbishop that the sermon preached by Bishop McQuaid in the Rochester cathedral was subversive cf church discipline. In this sermon Bishop McQuaid condemned Archbishop Ireland for what ho alleged was improper interference in behalf of the republican party in the last state,elec- tion, The inquiry has been finished, and it is given out that the church authorities deeply deplore the mistaken course of the bishop. It is further stated that the action of Bishop McQuaid makes the first occasion when a prelate <f high rank in the United States has used his pulpit to reprove or as- sail an archbishop. The popa is sald to have greatly regretted the unfortunate oc- currence. The affair seems to have been viewed by the authcrities as an extraor- dinary, as well as an exceptional breach of church disclpline. The papal secretary of state, Cardinal Rampolla, has addressed to Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore and the papal delegate at Wash- ington the findings f the court of inquiry. These will also be conveyed to Archbishop Ireland and Bishop McQuaid. Briefly, the conclusions of the court are that Bishop Me- Quaid committed a mistake in his sermon and in the reason he assigned for tihe neces- sity of such delivery. Archbishop Ireland is sustained in all the positions he has taken in the matter. Englund is Remaming Neutral, LONDON, Jan. 23.—It is officially stated that the British consular agent at Hawail is maintaining an absolute neutral attitude, and it s added that there is no foundation for the report that the royallsts, when they re- belled early this month, were assured by him that it they held the palace three hours Great Britaln .would recognize them as the g-vernment. ik Plot t w Up Dole.

BROOKLYN, Jan, 23.—At least one life has been sacrificed in the strike of the motor- men and conductors of the trolley lines. Henry Ahnes, who for disregarding a com- mand to halt was shot by the militia la night, being the first victim. Mary's hospital today. The injured can be counted by scores, but for the most part they have been kept under cover in order that they may not be prosecuted by the police for creating disturbances at different times at various points. This Is the tentn day of the big strike, and still the result hangs in the balance. The railroad companies can operate their lines £0 far as the mechanical arrangements go, but up to the present time they have se- cured only about 400 men to take the places of the strikers. It Is costing them a large amount of money to do this, and they have to pay the expenses of the men to Brooklyn, and offer generous sums of money to hold them here. Then they suffer loss by the fact that the motormen are coerced into leaving the city, and the conductors, after they have collec- ted a day's fare, are often pulled from their car and robbed of every cent of the com- pany’'s money they have collected. The men who came to Brooklyn at the company's ex- pense are induced by the strikers not to work, and lionized. Some, when they find out the true condition of affairs, for the com- panies’ recruiting sergeants are not as honest and explicit in their statements as they might be, go to the offices of the railroad companies and demand their expenses back to the cities whence they came, and this is never denied them. Some of the men have come on here from places as far distant as Chicago and Indianapolis. the assurances of Mayor Schieren that the military force in Brooklyn is suffi- clent to do all that is required of it, it is believed that he has made a request that ad- ditional troops be held in readiness for an emergency. Every part of the city where the trolley cars run is patrolled by the militla, They are everywhere massed in large numbers within five minutes notice of an outbreak. The police are thus enabled to attend to their proper duties, The dissatisfaction among the linemen has caused the strikers to cut the wires and ground them by means of the elevated railroad posts. The wires are in a_worse condition today than they have yet been during the strike. There seems to be no means of de- tecting the men in the act and the only way the electricians have of telling is when the cars of the whole line become stalled. CARS RUNNING AT NOOM the Halsey street line were twenty-seven cars running noon. On the Fulton street line twenty-seven cars ~ were in opera- tion. ~ The Broadway line has eleven cars moving and the number will be increased. There are twenty ecars moving on the Green and Gates avenue lines, Twenty-eight addi- tional policemen from the Twentieth pre- cinct have been added to the force already protecting the cars of this line. The Reid avenue line was opened with elght cars. The Butler street line of the Atlantic avenue system has opened with six cars. The total number of cars running on the linés affected by the strike is 226. The blockade on the saloons at Ridge- wood has been partly raised and those on the inside have been allowed to go out if they desire. No men will, however, be allowed to enter. Colonel Appleton of the Seventh regiment makes a statement to the effect that the shooting of Mitchell last night saved his life. The colonel said that the shooting was immediately due to the flourishing of revol- vers in the crowd. The wounded man told Colonel Appleton that the men had deter- mined to assassinate him, and his fall saved him from the bullets of his would-be mur- derers. There were many slight skirmishes be- tween the mobs and the militia, but no ac- tual clashes. In several instances the of- fenders only obeyed orders after the rifies had been leveled to fire. The operations of the several lines of road where attempts to run cars were made were greatly hampered by obstructions on the tracks and by the in- terference of bystanders. All day the sol- diers and police were kept busy, moving from one point to another to clear the crowds that swarmed around the cars whenever one stopped. RELEASED THE STRIKERS. Before the time arrived when General Mc- Leer was to make an answer to the habeas corpus writ for the release of 300 strikers imprisoned in Odd Fellows hall, in the su- preme court before Judge Gaynor, the men had been released. They were driven into 0dd Fellows hall during a charge this morn- ing. When the trouble was over the men de- manded to be released, but the doors of the building were kept locked and the men were kept in confinement several hours. Mhe re- lease of the strikers rendered the writ in- operative, When the case was called at 4 o'clock a statement was read on behalf of General McLeer, in which a denial was made of the allegation that he had locked up the 300 men or had ordered that they be locked up. Fur- ther, it was sald upon learning of the im- prisonment of the men he had ordered their immediate release, which order had been complied with, and that the men had there- upon departed to their several homes. Upon lis explanation Judge Gaynor dismissed the proceeding Jacob Quinlan, aged 25, was locked up ‘for (hrowing lumps of coal at Private W. Cole of company I, Thirteenth regiment, who was on picket dut John Alns, the New Yerk man, who was shot in the ‘jaw by the militia at Halsey street last night, died at St. Mary's hospital today. John Meade was arrested this afternoon for pointing a revolver from the window of his faome at a corporal of the Thirteenth reg- iment. As a company of the Twenty-third regi- ment was escorting a Hicks street car, Thomas Karney is said to have thrown a number of bricks at it from a roof, some of the soldiers being hit. One of them took deliberate aim and shot Karney in the side. The man was so seriously injured that the chances of his recovery are slight, The fecling in the neighborhood is very hard against the railroad companies. In a state- the coroner, Karney sal 1 was at work on the house, corner Hicks street and Harrison street, with a man named O'Neill. I was on a cornice and saw the sol- diers on Hicks street, below me. Some of them yelled at me: ‘Get back.' I started 2 go back; in fact, I started to run back and I heard gunshots and I was hit in the hip. I had not thrown anything from the ro f at the soldiers, nor did any one who was working in the middle of the roof. We had been working on this roof since morning.” At 6 o'clock this evening a Gates avenue car collided with a car of the D¢ Kalb averue line. AL 7 o'clock tonight Corporal Doyl pany H, Seventh regiment, while « the Knickerbocker avenue station Knickerbocker elevated road, told a crowd on the stairs to move on. They refused. Doyle struck one of them on the shoulder with his clubbed musket, smashing the mus ket and knocking the man down. He als) Jabbed his bayonet into a man deep enough to draw blood. Both men were taken away by thelr friends. CARS STORPED AT NIGHT. Fifty-nine cars in all have been run out At € o'clock this evening, as the cars began to come in, they were held in the depot for the night. Quiet prevailed at Edgewood at 7 o'clock this evening. The cars had at that tme stopped running. The militla was then On there at of com- duty of 1he He.died at St. | withdrawn from the streets in the immediate vicinity of the stables, havifig been relieved by a detachment of police. The majority of the new men are sleeping in the car shed tonight. Superintendent Harrlé of the suburban rail- road at Sumner avenue amd Bergen streets was arrested by Lieutenants Clayton and M- Leod of company F, Seventh regiment, this afternoon, for persisting in moving cars in which the members of the regiment were sleeping. The soldiers say that Mr. Harris for the last few days has amused himself by ordering the moving of the cars in which they have been sleeping when off duty, com- peliing them to change o another car in the depot. He told to change his tactics, but at about 2:30 o'clock he ordered a lot of men to one of the cars. When they refused he turned on the power and tried to move it out of the depot. He was then arrested and taken before the colonel, About 7 o'clock this evening men of the Seventy-first regiment had a brush with a mob of 150 men who had smashed the win- dows of cars of the Ralph avenue line at Ralph avenue and Sumter street. Colonel Green of the Seventy-first, hearing the rum- pus, telephoned to Captain Keck. who was stationed near the disturbed district, and the latter, with twenty men, hurrled to the scene and- jabbed and butted the crowd away o that the cars resumed their trip, accompanied by the trcops. At Ridgewood at 8 o'clock this evening William Wendling, P. J. Mackey, B. R. Martin and Fred Kreig. special policemen, walked into the Bushwick Avenue company's office and surrendered their shiclds, refusing to_work any longer. From early morning until past noon there was more excitement in the locality of Third avenue and the rallroad depot than there has been since the strike commenced, The barns at Third aveng and Fifty-elghth street presented a busy iscene at 11 o'clock, when a Court and Halsey street car reached the depot filled with fiftyl nonunion men, who were at once lodged In the depot. Each corner on the east side of the alvenue was thronged by the strikers and Rheir sympathizers while in front of the stables were drawn up 100 men of the Twenty-third regiment, under Captain Thorne, The strillers contented them- selves with hooting and ‘jecring the militia, but committed no act which warranted their Qigpersion. & FELLED TREES ON THE TRACK. Some hours previous td the running of the first car the repalr wagon of the Brooklyn Helghts company went down Third avenue to clear the track between Fifty-first and Fifty-second streets. The block between these two streets was filled with bricks, stones, lumber and trunks of trees, which had been cut in the vicinity o as to render the running of cars an fmpossibility. The repair wagon was manmed by twelve men, escorted by troop A. When they reached the Pequod club—the strikers' headquarters —at Fifty-fifth street, yome 200 men who had assembled there jedred and denounced the escort and hurled several volleys of stones at the men who were removing the obstacles. Lieutenant Bagley, who was in charge of the troop, called on them to dis- per The strikers repled by another ava- lanche of stones. Lieutenant Bagley then ordered his men to. charge and strike the rioters with the flat of their sabers. On this being done the strikers ran away. When the railroad employes finished their work the strikers reassembled and followed up the escort and renewed the stone throwing, when the cavalry again charged them with naked blades. Some of the strikers recelved sword thrusts, but managed to escape. No further disturbance occurred during the day. At the strikers' headquarters the men were still confident and said that if it took 800 men to run one car the company would not continue long. They also averred that the number of “‘scabs' secured was far below the number required. TOO LATE TO ARBITRATE. The executive board of District Assembly 75, Knights of Labor, waited upon President Norton today with an offer to arbitrate, Mr. Norton refused point blank. The executive committee of District Assembly 75 has issued the following. manifesto: “To whom it may concern: Our repre- sentatives, agreeable to instructions, called on Benjamin Norton, president of the At- lantic Railway company, and presented, or offered to accept Willlam J. Richardson, a director in the Atlantie Avenue Railway com- pany and secretary treasurer of the American New York State union, of twenty-seven years' experience In ‘railroad affairs, as a person to whom we!'would unconditionally submit our grievances for adjustment in ac- cordanca with the anncunced resolution. Mr. Norton declined to treat with our representa- tive in any way.” President Lewis sald tonight that he re- garded the situation as very bright at pres- ent. They had operated about 200 cars on all their lines, and they expected to add about 100 more cars tomorrow. It was only a ques- tion of time before the company had the nor- mal number of cars running. He thought arbitration was now out of the question. It was too late in the day now to submit the dispute to any single person cr arbitration commission for final adjustment. The line- men held a meeting tonight and decided to g0 out on a strike tomorrow morning. A statement is made at 1:30 this morning that President Lewls of the Brooklyn Helghts Railway company would make an attempt to open the cross town lines between Red Hook and Green Point, and from the Creek at Green Point at Fulton ferry. He, It is de- clared, will start cars at an early hour, and a8 the neighborhood of Red Hook and Green Point is a breeding ground for strikers and thelr sympathizers, trouble of a serious na- ture is anticipated, provided the aitempt is made. Strong detichments of military will guard the cars sent out in advance, Motormen Leaving for £rooklyn, PITTSBURG, Jan. 2.—A meeting of the local assembly of the Knights of Labor, composed of strest rallway conductors and motormen, was held®after midnight last night to consider matters pertaining to the great strike in Brooklyn. Every effort is being made to counteract the exodus of conductors and motormen from this place. Among the crowd of fifty men who lef( las night to take the places of strikers wel three members of the unlon, who went spies to keep the Hrooklyn' labor offic posted as to the procecdings the railway companies are making. e RECIPROCITY THEIR CRY, Manufacturers Adopt Resolations for the Basix of Thelr Orzanizitio CINCINNATI, Jan. 23.—The national con- vention of the manufacturers was mo: largely attended today, standing room b ing in demand in the large audience cham- ber. Many visitors were attracted to hear esident M. E. Ingalls and ex-Senator Warner M. Miller, whose addresses on reso- lutions called out a protracted and ani- mated discussion. ring the discussion many additional resélutions we offered red to the committee. The follo: and refe ing were adopted: “Resolved, That' the National Assoclation nufacturers adopts the following as of its organization: e largest possible extent our home market should be retained and supplied by Qur own broducers and our forelgn rela- tlons shou xtended in every direction nconsistent therewith principle of vegipr should be in the uational tion, in ac- with the requirements of ‘equity, 80 that reciprocal trade relations betweer the ll'mll-l Hlnl;~u and foreign may be sped. & that ships sailing under the flag of the United States should carry our entire maritfme commerce, and, in view of he injury thereto by subsidized foreigu shippng, we declare in favor of a judicious ystem 'of subsidies in order to complete restoration and extension of our merchani rine. he Nicaragua canal being essential to e commerce of the Unlted States and na- nal importance, avor its construction and operation under the control of the fed sral government. ‘Our national and artificlal waterways should be improved and extended by the federal government to full needs of com- merce, .um:u.§ng the great lakes with the ¢ countries rivers'of the Minsiesippl valley and the At- luntic seaboa New Trial in th u= Pese Cuse reuled, SALT LAKE, Jan. 23.—Judge Bartch t day overruled the defendants' moticn for a new trial in the San Pete cownty eleation cases and they will b2 carried to the supreae court, DEATH WAS DUETO CHOKING Barrett Scott Was Strangled by the Noose Around His Neck, AUTOPSY HELD LAST NIGHT AT O'NEILL Nothlng to Show that Tortare Was In- flicted Nefore Death—Funeral Poste poned Until ¥riday—Events of the Day in Holt County, O'NEILL, Neb., Jan. 23.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The autopsy on Barrett Scott's body was held this evening, the examination belng finished at midnight, and it proved conclu- sively that there was no life in the body when it was thrown into the water. A careful ex- amination of the lungs, heart and stomach fafled to reveal a particle of water, and it was evident that the noose around his neck told the true story of his death. The contents of the stomach were almost entirely digested, showing that his death had occurred several hours at least after his last meal. Some shreds of meat and vegetables were discoy- ered, but it. will require a chemical analysis to determine whether these represent the meal Scott ate before he left Mineola. The examination was conducted by Dr. J. P. Gil- ligan of O'Nelll, assisted by Dr. P. H. Salter of Norfolk and Dr. J. H. McDonald of this city. The clothing was removed this morning and a careful examination failed to discover any further indication of violence on the body. The only bruises are those about the head, which wero previously referred to. These have the appearance of having been made by a heavy boot. When the clothing was re- moved no question was left as to what hiad caused death. The half-inch rope was sunk into the dead man's neck until it was nearly buried from sight, and the knot in_ the noose was sunk into the back of the neck just be- hind the right ear. The noose was formed by an eightinch loop in the rope, through which the free end was passed. This allowed the rope to cut into the neck, and the ap- pearance of the tongue and throat clearly in- dicated that death had been caused by stran- gulation. The rope was removed this morn- ing by Dr. Gilligan and turned over to the sheriff, It measured just thirty-nine inches, including the loop. The funeral has been postponed until Fri- day at 2 p. m. CROWDED, BUT QUIET. The city has been exceptionally quiet to- day. The streets are thronged by scores of visitors from the adjoining townships, but no efforts have been put forth by those who have assumed the task of running down the murderers of their dead townsman. The quiet work that was done when Attorney General Churchill was here has been pro- lific of important results, and much has been added to what was known of the cir- cumstances of the crime. There are a score of farmers living between O'Neill and the Niobrara river who were known to have some knowledge of the tragady, but such was the fear that existed of the vengeance of the vigilantes that none of them could be induced to open thelr mouths when they were questioned by the searchers. When brought to O'Nefll and taken to the safe privacy of a hotel parlor, where the attorney general of the state guaranteed them pro- tecticn, they were somewhat reassured. Fully twenty of thegé ‘farmérs were brought before the attorney general during his stay and a vast amount of corroborative evidence was disclosed. Some of them had been ap- proachad and asked to join the murderers, Others had seen the band during the twenty- four hours In which the tragedy occurred and had formed a pretty distinct idea of the identity of some of the lynchers. A great deal of this sort of evidence was elicited, most of which will probably be held in re- serve until the final hearing in the district court., SCOTT'S FRIENDS ARE EXCITABLE. There Is great dissatisfaction in certain quarters over the manner in which Sherift Hamilton is guarding the prisoners, Be- fore the attorney general left he issued strict injunctions to the sheriff to allow no com- munication with the prisoners except by their attorneys or members of their families. It is claimed that these orders were disre- garded until late this afternoon, when County Attorney Murphy called on the sheriff and added his protest. Scott's friends clhim to have positive evidence that a number of the men who are under sus- picion as members of the lynching party were permitted to hold a long conference with the prisoners this morning. This state- ment was wired to the attorney general this afternoon, but no reply has been received. If this state of affairs continues it will un- doubtedly produce trouble. One of the most prominent citizens of O'Neill said this after- noon that the fact that no demonstration had occurred was due to the efforts of the more immediate friends of Barrett Scott, who bad earnestly advised allowing the law to take its course. He said that in the two days following the discovery of the body fuily 100 men, most of whom were reputable but hot-headed citizens, had come to one or two of Scott's particular friends and begged them to allow them to take the matter in their own hands, This feeling had been rigidly suppressed, but if some of the county officials continued to indicate their partiality for the accused it would soon be useless to try to keep the hotheads from carrying out thefr purpose. Sherif Hamilton says that he is doing his duty without fear or favor, and that he would be the last man to stand in the way of justice, If any suspects have been allowed in the jail it is without his knowledge. MRS, HILL ACCUSES BOTH SIDES, Considerable interest was aroused in town today by the appearance of Mrs. Ralph Hill, whose husband and son were wantonly mur- dered by vigilantes last summer. Within a few days a man named Green has reported that he saw Mr. and Mrs. Hill on a claim about twenty-five miles north of Bonesteel, where they were living. According to Green's story, he had recognized®ill and spoken with him. ' Hill said that he had not been killed, as was supposed, but was simply taken out of the country and warned not to come back Ho intended to stay where he was until the excitement cooled somewhat, and then come back and make it interesting for his perse- cutors, This story is indignantly repudiated by Mrs. Hill. She is certain that her hus- band is dead, and says she has never been near the place where Green claimed to have seen her, Her version is implicitly believed here in O'Neill. Mrs., Hill is a typical fron- tierswoman, and is said to be able to whip any man in the Niobrara valley. She Is large am! stout, weighing nearly 200 pounds, and her face indicates that in years gone by she was & remarkably good looking woman. She scems to have all the tenderness of a woman with the strength and determination of a man. Her eyes filled with tears as she spoke of the fate of her husband and son, but in a second she dashed them away and flashes of fire succeeded. “If you men had, hunted down and's murderers as you should,” she said, ‘Barrett Scott would be alive today. But we were poor and no one cared If my heart was broken and my children left fatherless. But that was what encouraged them to murder Scott, and you have only yourselves to blame that he is lying dead before you." The woman was dramatic in a rough way and It s generally admitted that there is a £o0d deal of truth in her accusation. She is now supporting herself by chopping woed on a timber claim about twenty-five miles north of here, while her children are being cared for by relatives in Boyd county. She is poorly dressed and her clothing is entirely insuffi clent to protect her from the cold blasts that swirl over the saud hills, and her condition xcites general sympathy. ROBERTSON 1S NOT AT ALL WORRIED. LINCOLN, Jan. 23 clal Telegram.) Representative Robertson of Holt county, to whom the petition of fifty or more citizens of O'Ncill was addressed, asking him to re- my hus- leien, is apparently on easy street, a§ far us that is ccncerned. He says he has not yet recefved a copy of the petition, but expects to at an early day by mail. So soon as there 1s an adjournment of a few daye, which he expects will occur about the middle of the session, he says he will go up there and seo the parties who are clamoring for his resig nation. Until then, and after, he said to a reporter of The Bee, he proposes to stay right In Lincoln and work for Holt county's interests. Mr. Robertson did not wish to talk further about the affair for publication but he added that the republicans in th legislature were making just the kind of record that suited the populists. He hoped they would continue as they had started out - Attorney H. W. Uttley of O'Neill, now in the city, says that the petition to Robertson 18 very il advised, and that had he been at home he would have prevented it. THINKS TROUBLE 18 CERTA Holt County Citizens Who Expoct to Seo re Bloedshed Over the Affair, ASHLAND, Neb., Jan. 23.—(Special)—M 8. Greenfleld, a resident of Holt county, Is in the city, the guest of his step-brother, David Baker. In conversation with the gentleman a Bee representative obtained some interesting facts concerning the Bar reit Scott tragedy. He says the indignation against the editor of the Beacon Light Is running high. He forther stated as a fact that one of the men .arrested had made a confession and turned state's evidence, but the truth is being suppressed by the authori- ties until public’ feeling subsides to_avold further trouble. He gave as his honest opinion that before the terrible affair was over others would suffer the death that Scott did. He answered the question “What is the character and standing of these me who were arrested in and about 0'Neill? by saying, “They are a set of fellows who are always making other people’s business their own, because not one of them had lost 1 cent by Scott's defalcation, and for this reason thelr sympathizers are very few.” LlLigge il HAVE FOUND FOUR JURORS. Preliminary Work In the Hayward Trinl Progresses Very Slowly. MINNEAPOLIS, Jan, 23.—The crowd at the Hayward trial today was not so large as yesterday, but a shivering mass of humanity waited outside the big doors for an hour before admission was secured. The plan of defense is gradually becoming apparent. No one believes that an attempt will be made to prove Harry Hayward insane, but instead the opinion mow prevails that efforts will be made to prove Adria Hayward gullty of the very crime with which in his confession ho has charged his brother. The defense, it is believed, will attempt to show that Blixt is insane, and that while his con- fessions are true statements of fact as to the way in which the crime was committed and incited, the man who engaged him to do this work was Adria, not Harry Hayward. BIixt’s behavior in the jall—now frantically fearful and again fearlessly confident—will be used to show that the man is unbalanced mentally and to impeach him as a witness, The fourth juror was secured today in the person of Jack Smith, a blacksmith. During the examination of veniremen At- torney Irwin asked John Jay, a cooper, whether he had any opinion as to the de: fendant’s guilt or innocence. “Yes, I bave,” responded Jay naively. should say he was guilty. Mr. Irwin stood aghast while went around, Hayward himselt joining in the merriment. Jay was excused. Tho attorneys in the case last night, after the day’s proceedings were over, held a long examination of Adria Hayward, The de- fense made a demand on the prosecution to be allowed fo take Adria's statement in full and the demand was acceded to. What took place during the examination is kept a_secret by all who were present, but it is known that Attorney Irwin went over the whole story of the confession with the accused man's brother at great length and that an hour and a half was spent in the process. It is not known whether the defense suc- ceeded in entrapping the brother into any contradictions, but there is no doubt that a strong effort was made to do 0. County Attorney Nye admitted this after- noon that the conference with Adria Hay- ward was held last night, but expressed sur- prise that the fact had become known. He added that Adria Hayward had upon that occasfon made a much more complete state- ment than any yet made and had gone into detalls as to his brother's plot to murder Catherine Ging. The statement was so strong in detail and apparent truthfulness that the attorneys for the defense were staggered completely. John Day Smith of the counsel for the defense could not conceal his amaze- ment and chagrin. He admitted that he was completely paralyzed by the brother's story. So crestfallen was his manner that Mr Irwin was compelled to tell him to brace up. “Good heavens, Smith,” sald his colleague, “look up If you can't see a star.” s CHICORAN SURELY LOST. oy the laugh Part of Her Upper Works Found in the Floating Tce.

Senator Gra ham, from the investigating committee ap= pointed last Friday, submitted a report signed by all the members of that committee to the effect that all the employes were necessary in order to properly conduct the busincss of the senate. The committee suggested that no employe be allowed to collect more than one day's pay for each twenty-four hours, McKesson of Lancaster moved the adoption of the committee’s report, As soon as the motlon had been made Sprecher, the tall populist from Colfax, stated that he felt it his duty to oppose the adop= tion of the report. He called the attention of the senate to the already illegal excess of employes and stated that he could see no necessity for the creation of many offices now on the pay roll. He offered as an amendment that the report b ferred back to the committee and that the committee be instructed to reduce employes to the status tory number. As soon as Sprecher's motion was before the senate it was seen that con- nivance at the raid on the treasury was to bo made the test of party loyalty. Republican leaders gathered in groups around the few republican senators who were suspected of a_disposition to vote against extravagance. Every republican who had evinced a desire for economy was urged to join In the de- liberately planned purpose of further em= barrassing the already depleted state treasury, The party whip was wielded effectively, and but two republican senators, Tefft of Cass and Black of Buffalo, had the courage of thelr convictions and resisted the demands of the raiders. On tho roll call on the adoption of Sprecher's amendment the following republi= can_senators voted to continue the career of illegal expenditure already commenced: Not voting: Rathbun. Crawford, the populist member of the em- ployes’ investigating committee, voted with the republicans against the amendment of- fered by Sprecher and for the adoption of the committee’s report. MISLED BY FALSE FIGURES. The argument made by the leaders of the raid on the depleted treasury funds, by which & number of republican senators were induced to vote for the report of the com= mittee, was that although. the .number of employes was much larger than. t legalize, the state wouls lly. Saxg. In the long run by reason of the fact ths no employe would be allowed more than one day's pay for each twenty-four hours. The reluctant senators were told by the leaders of the combine that the enormous amounts pald for double time by the popus list senate two years ago would amount to more than the pay of the extra-legal em- ployes this session. There is really but very little truth in these statements, as an appeal to the auditor’s repert will show. Two years ago the senate had sixty-elght employes on the pay roll and the average length of the time for which employes drew. pay was elghty days. The actual amount pald employes for extra time two years ago was $2,631.31, This session the number of employes in excess of two years ago is thirty-two. These thirty-two employes at $3 per day on a basis of eighty days will cost the stato just $7,680. The senate's em- ployes at the present session will cost the tate not less than $24,000, as against $16,913 two. years ago. The illegal employment of help for the eene ate is not without precedent. In 1887 the republican senate employed 122 people at a cost of $24,965. Two years later, at the 1889 session, the republican senate experienced a spasm of economy and cut the number of employes down from 122 to 114, It was at this session that the legislature passed the present law limiting the number of senate employes to sixty-six. In 1891 the popu- lists controlled the senate and in an exe travagant fit of economy “‘reduced” the nums= ber from sixty-six to 117, and paid out of the tréasury to its employes the modest sum of $26,764. Two years ago the num- ber was fixed by a combination of popullsts and democrats, the accredited number being reduced to sixty-elght. ‘Whether the big populist lump in the last senate was leav- ened by the five democrats in the interest of economy Is as yet undetermined. POCKETED THE BILLS. The house may yet be Induced by circume stances to send a search warrant after exe Secretary of State J. C. Allen. In the busy weeks of the closing month of his officlal career Allen put in most of his time buying “supplies” for the uso of the leglslature, These supplies arrived at the capitol by the van load. The State Journal company alone supplied enough stationery to equip a whole- sale paper warehouse, Kurniture and carpets came in by the dray load. There were roll top desks, velvet carpets, china cuspidores, waste bagkets galore. All of these supplies, to the amount of thousands of dollars, were purchased without competition, aturally the bills should accompany the delivery of the supplies. The bills, however, have not yet put In_an appearance, matter of fact the State Journal company does not dure render its bill until it s assured” that the supplies it furnished upon the order of J. €. Allen, without warrant of law or con= stituton, are either used up or recklessly wasted, The bills are not in the hands of the etary of state, nor the committees on claims, or accounts ‘and expenditures. Secre- tary Piper called on the State Journal for the . bills of supplies furnished and was put oft with the statement that the bills had been rendered to J. €. Allen, These supplies have been purchased at ex orbitant figures. The scheme on foot is to hold back the bills until late in the session and then rush them through in the closing hours, when the members have neither the time nor the patience to scrutinize them cares fully. No ore doubts thal the state will be outrageously swindled, STANDARD OIL FINE WORK. he committee on miscellaneous subjects in the house has decided on an adverse re port on House Roll No. 2, a bill introduced by Joe Burns of Linc providing for a change in the oll inepection law.
