CANAL AND CABLE IN THE COMMONS. British Government Questioned These Two 190, LONDON, Feb. During the session of the House of Commons this afternoon Sir Bl ward Harland, conservative, acked whether the government was aware that Mr. Morgan's Nicaraguan canal bill had passed the United States senate and was now before the house of representatives, and that Mr. Morgan had stated in debate that no foreign government objected to the bill, and whether, in view of the importance of the canal to British ship owners, the government weuld make urgent representations to the government of the United States against provisions in Mr. Mor- gan's bill detrimental to the interests of British shipping. Sir Bdward also asked whether the government would consider the propriety of urging upon the government of the United States the importance of the crea- tion of a British and American commission to deal with the question of the construction of the canal and its status when built, Sir Bdward Grey, parllamentary secretary for the forcign office, replied that it was not usual for the government to make any rep- Tesantations agalnst bills before forelgn legis- latures. The government, he added, considered that such a canal as it was proposed to con- struct through Nicaragua should be under International control, and whatever steps it may deem desirable will be taken by the gov- ernment to advance this view. He, however, 8aW no reason to suppose that the United States government would not maintain its treaty engagement. Sir George Baden Powell, conservative, questioned the government in regard to the proposed Pacific cable. Mr. Sydney Buxton, parliamentary secretary of the colonial office, in response sald that negotiations relative to the construction of a cable were proceeding, but that it would not be to the public interest to enter into a detailed statement of their status, O’GRIEN'S LAWYER’S FEES. 278 His Suit Against Lord Sallsbury and Irish Party’s F s, LONDON, Feb. 14.—~The trial has begun in London of a suit brought by a sollcitor against William O'Brien, the well known meber of Parliament, to recover a balance of £407 which the plaintiff claims Is due him for expense in curred by him while act- ing on Mr. O'Brien’s side in the late famous gult against Lord Sallsbury.

MINNBAPOLIS, Feb, 14.—It was the de- fense's turn in the Hayward murder trial d its case r curlosity to win and his as- today, the prosecution having clos last night, and there learn what tack Attorney F sistants would pursue. The defendant’s de- meanor upon entering the court room was positively jubilant. He nodded to some lady friends in the front row, and then, epying his mother, went up to her, and said: *‘Good morning, little mother,” and kissed her up- turned lips. When John Day Smith arose to address the jury in his deliberate fashion, Harry faced squarely around to the jury and scanned their faces as the words fell from the lips of his counsel. Before the court opened he found time to tell the reporiers that the report In a_morning paper that he had re marked: ““They are going to hang me,” was unqualifiedly false, and that he had’ never given utterance to ‘any such statement.” Attorney Smith, in addressing the called atfention to a number of things the state had promised at the outset to prove and which, he said, it had not proved. It had not shown that Hayward had secured all of Miss Ging's money, as she had a by ance In bank at her death; it had not shown that he had gone riding with her the Wednes day and Saturday evening before the mur- der, as promised. Mr. Smith declared that the insurance transactions, the acquiring of an {nsurable interest, and the waivure of the ault clause, of which much had besn made the state, were all in the ordinary course . and not in any way unu e Jury, by of busine The sweat box method of wringing so confessions from Blixt and Adry Hayward was referred to in denunciatory terms. The defense admitted that Harry was a gambler and deplored the fact, but asserted that he was not on trial for gambling, but for mur- der. “Gentlemen of the jury,” exclaimed the attorney, “the mute form of Catherine Ging lying at the county morgue gives the lie to Claus A. Blixt. The evidence presented by the defense will fairly prove to you that Claus A. Blixt pounded that woman's head almost to a jelly before he fired the shot, and then only fired it when he thought she was not dead. “When Blixt came to the stand his honor, ex-Mayor Eustis, stepped up to him and shook hands with him with a smiling face. “I could not help but think that it was to give him character before this jury. 1 confess you cou'd not have touched the biooded hands of the murderer for a large sum of money. I believe in the religion of Jesus Christ, who has promised to forgive sins, but has not promised to remove the scars. Such actions as those of Blixt are a travesty. “There is another witness wirn whom we are confronted here who is peculiar in many respects. We will show you that he has led a shiftless life. He was involved in this case at the beginning and was put through the ‘sweat process’ and showed the proverbial jealousy of the elder brother. You will remember that in the beginning of his testimony he looked with pity on his brother and said: ‘I do not blame him for making the best defense he can.’ You will remem- ber how, later, when his mother was sit- ting yonder, that mother who had borne him and watched over him with tender so- licitude, he told of a auarrel he had had with her and other members of the family, and had said to that mother: ‘Why did you raise such a litter of pups?’ “He was a pecullar man in many respects, and had a diathesis from which he could not separate himself. There have been experts here both for the state and the defense and they fvill be examined on that point. There have been no less than six members of the family confined in the asylum because they were insane, We claim that Harry is much more sane than his brother Adry. “Now you will doubtless want to know what is the theory of the defense. Gentlemen, we have no theory. Theories have hanged many a man. You must be convinced of the guilt of the defendant beyond a reascnable doubt, We will also establish a complete alibi for Harry at the time he was said to have been at the Kenwood boulevard giving Blixt derec- tions. We shall bring out some of the testimony which has lain imured in the county attor- ney's office, and shall show that there was a_suspicious character in the city about whom the county attorney was told, but he did not use the information. We expect to compel the bloody clothes found on the shores of Lake Calhoun to be brought into court. Th defendant will take the stand in his own half, and that's all there is in this case." “Harry Hayward comes into court,” con- cluded Mr. Smith, “confronted by the testi- mony of a brother whose heart is filled with deadly enmity, and Blixt, who with perjured tongue has sought to conceal and shield his real confederate. All we ask is that the sun- light of God’s truth shall be let in on this most remarkable case.” John Walsh, keeper of the morgue, was the first witness, and he described the incidents connected with the bringing of Miss Ging's body to the morgue. He undressed and washed the body Immediately, and in answer to Mr. Erwin’s questions described minutely the clothing found on the body, the wounds and where blood was found, Terrence Connelly, ir., an undertaker, was called and produced the clothing which had been turned over to him by Walsh. It devel- oped, much to the astonishment and indigna- tion ‘of Mr. Erwin, that the sealskin sacque had been cleaned. The lining, however, still showed some stains of blood. The knotted blue veil which had been pinned in the hat was torn and clotted with blood. The jury and the attorneys examined all the clothing carefully for blood stains, The entire afternoon was given up to the examination of police officers, who examined the locality where Miss Ging's body wi found, in an effort to prove an alibl, morrow evidence to impeach Blixt will be submitted, ———e IRWIN ON THE STAND. Unable to Explain How He Made His Large Prafits, . Feb. 14.—In the trial today of George M. Irwin, the discretionary pool operator, Mr. Irwin was called and told how he went to Chicago, became a member of PITTSBUR the Hoard of Tradg, his ventures there and subsequent failure, He afterward returned to Pittsburg and started in the pool business in a small way, increasing his clients every month. During the “run” he paid out in the four days it lasted over $157,00. He was advised to quit. He called at the bank to ee how he stood. His account was slim, so he concluded to go no further. More than 100 people offercd him money after he closed business, but he did not take it.

The opinion to be given by Atterney General Churehill tomorrow to the special committee appointed by the house last week to consider the penitentiary contract, promises to create something akin to a sensation. The opinion s a very elaborate one and recites the complete history of the pententiary con- tract from its inception down through ite career of vicissitudes to the time when it passed’ into the hands of W. H. Dorgan In bricf, the attorney general is of the opinfon that the contract s valld, and more than that, that Mosher's bondsmen under under the contract have been released, and that the state has absolutely no protection against any fraud that the present contractor may clect to perpotrate The attorney general glves it as his opinfon that the legislature had the undoubted right to make the contract, and that having done 80 it cannot pass a law nullifying that con- tract. He s further of the opinion that the hond given by Mosher for the faithful per formance of his part of the contract is worth. less. He that arrives at this opinion by reasoning the five men who signed Mosher's bond did not bind themselves to protect the state agalnst any loss cr breach of contract on the part of Dor n. The action of the Board of Public Lands and Buildings in consenting to and indorsing the transfer on the contract from Mosher to Dorgan releases the bonds- men. The attorney general, however, po'nts cut a simple remedy for tho present unpro tected condition of the state. Dorgan holds the contract, but has never furnished the state any bond for its faithful performance. The legislature can, It it desires to break the contract, pass a resolution directing Dor- gan to filo a good and sufficient bond within thirty days. If he fails to do o, then legal proceedings could be instituted against him by the attorney general to annul the contract The attorney bases his opinion on federal de- s, inasmuch as he holds that any at- to annul the contract under existing would entitle Dorgan to a trial of tho issue in the federal court. The original prison contract was W. H. B, Stout on September 22, 1877, by the Board of Public Lands and Buildings, for six years. The legislature of 1879 passed a law ‘extending Stout's contract for six yea from October 1, 1893, conditicned upon the construction by Stout of 240 Stone cells, free of expense to the state. In 1883 the legisla- ture passed another law, giving the prison contractor until October, 188j, to construct the 240 cells, provided that at least 160 of them should be finished by Octcher, 18 In 1887 the legislature dabbled in t ntrac business a little more, by gnacting a law which transferred the contract to C. W, Mosher, and extending it ten years. On Feb- , Mosher transferred the contract Dorgan, and the Board of Publie Buildings recognized Dorgan as the contractor, to the extent that it has paid him the warrants that would be duc to Mosher every quarter. Thé warrants have always been drawn in Mosher's name. The stone cells have been placed in the cell house but recently, and it Is now asgerted that they will scon be ready for occupaney. —_— - TRUANTS FROZEN 10 DEATH let to Lands and Two Boys Who Went to Skate When They Should Have Gone ta Bchool. JOHNSTOWN, Pa., Feb. 14—A telegram received here states that the bodies of two boys were found along the Pennsylvania rail- road at a point in Westmoreland county. They were frozen to death.’The identity of the bodies has not yet been ‘fixed, but they are supposed to be those of the two sons of John Caulfield of this city. The lads, aged 10 and 12, were sent to school yesterday, but instead of going to the building went skating and afterwards con- cluded to take a tramp, fearing to return home after playing truant. Mr. Caulfield searched yesterday and this morning for his missing £ons, but had been unable to find them, and it seems very probable that the corpses are those of the runaway children.

If the pro- visions of this law were enforced there would not be half as many saloons in this city today. We have waited long enough for the men to enforce the laws they have made. The women now propose to take a hand and see what they can do. We warn you that every saloon th does not comply with e ery detail of the requirements of the law will be closed, and the strongest measures used against those guilty of violating the At two or three places the women were received courteously but when they reached John Manderscheid's saloon, and the long line of women began to pour itself inside, Manderscheld came forward, and, seizing Mrs. Johnson by the arm, exclaimed can’t do this sort of thing here. At this moment, a newspaper man who had forced his way in, with the women, stepped forward to interfere with Manderscheid, who instantly struck him in the face. PROTECTING THE SALOONIST. An officer who was in the saloon at the time, came forward and declared that the proprietor could refuse admission to the women if he desired. At this Manderscheld, aided by another man in the place, began to push the women violently out of the place. with oaths and abuse. Several men ‘ad crowded in and attempted to protect the women, It was impossible, however, to force their way inside, and they were compelled to retire. One of the leaders started a hymn, and in half a minute the entire party was standing on the walk in front of the saloon singing lustily. Nothing daunted, the women pressed on and went through the next saloon without opposi- tion. By this time their triumphal march down the main street of the city had at- tracted an immense crowd, and they were surrounded by a mob of the curious. At two or three places they were refused admittance, the doors being locked. At the others they served their notice and went on. After about an hour from the time when they had started in, the party quietly isbanded, with the understanding that they would meet again tomorrow to continue theil work. There is no doubt the women can compel the enforcement of the law in all par. ticulars, and that if they do so it will compel many saloons to close. It Is not generally be- lieved the crusade will have,serious results. The women say they will also close the houses of prostitution. e FIGHTING THE RUSSIAN THISTLE. lere, you State and National Aid Asked to Extermi- nate the Pest. ST.

Resolutions which were presented this evening and adopted cite the marvelous spread of the thistle, and con- tinue Whereas, It has already destroyed farms, ruined hormes, driven eitizens into exile and kreatly lessened the products of our fields, imated by millions of dollars, It is urged that the legislatures of the several states shall adopt joint resolutions, to be for- Wirded to the governors of all states of the nion, urging concerted action upon the lines of destruction and preventing the dis- tribution of said thistle. It was further Resolved, That all owrners of real prop- erty be required to clear their own prem- ises of this weed.

WA tempt to sec SHINGTON, Feb, 14.—The third ate by the administration at this session re legislation looking to the reliet of the treasury failed today. First the Carlisle bill for the reform of the currency system went down; mext the bill for the issue of $500,000,000 of gold bonds and the retirement of the legal tenders, recommended in tho prosident’s s message, was defeated last Thursday by a majority of twenty-seven, and today the house, by a majority even larger, (17) refused to order to a third reading the resclution by which it was propised to author. ize th ue of 000,000 of 8 per cent gold bonds to substitute for the 4 per cent thirty year bonds sold by Sccretary Carlisle under the contract with the Rothschild-Morgan syn. dicate. The action of the house today was the culmination of the exciting events which Wave occurred since the president sent his speclal message to congress, which resulted in the report from the ways and means coms mittee of the resolution to authorize the Issue of the gold bonds. A special order was brought in as soon aw the house met this morning to bring the res- clution to a vote at 5 o'clock tonight. Tho debate upon the resolution, which lasted over five hours, was interesting and at times inflammable in character. galleries were packed, and there was much confusion on the floor, but the interest centered in the course which the republicans would pursue, it being conceded that the fate of the resoluy tion rested with them, here was much mancuvering among their leaders. The re- publicans west of the Alleghanies, led by Messrs, Hopkins and Cannon of Tllinols, started off with impetuous specches against a gold bond issue that would discriminate against the bonds already issued. Mr. Reed and his eastern friends sought In private conference to rally all to united uction. His plan was to allow the resolution to go to a third reading and then move to recommit it with instruction to repart back a bill similar to that waich he offered as a substitute for the bond bill lagt week, providing for 3 per cent coln bonds. For a time it scemed pos. sible that this arrangement would be agreed to, but after the stirring speech of Mr. Hep- burn of Towa the middle and western res publicans broke away, determined to defent the third reading of the resolution lest by some chance it might carry If it passed this parliamentary stage. The castern republicany then decided to support 1t. The specches of Mr. Wilson, Mr. Reed, Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Bryan were the features of the debate. Am analysis of the vote shows that eighty-nine democrats and thirty-one republicans (120 in al) voted in favor of the resolution, and ninety-eight democrats, sixty-two republicany and seven populists (167 in all) against, SPECIAL RULE FOR DEBATE. Although it was known that an attempt would be made today to pass the resolution authorizing the issue of 3 per cent gold bonds in the house, the attendance on the floor was not large when the’ speaker called the hous: to order at 11 o'clock. This was probably due to the fact that many members supposed the house would meet at noon, as usual. Despite the small attendance, there was much excitement on the floor. As goon as the journal had been read Mr. Catchings, from the rules committee, reported the special order under which the house was to operate. It was aw follow “‘Resolved, That immedlately adoption of this resolution the house shall proceed, as in committee of the whole, to consideration of house resolution No. 255 (the bond resolution), that at the hour of § o'clock this day the previous question shall be cons sidered, as ordered on said resolution, and then, without intervening motion, votes shall be taken thercon until the same shall have been fully disposed of.” Mr. Catchings promptly demanded previous question as fcon as the had been completed, On a rising vote previous question was ordered—56 to 11, Mr. Plckler, republican of South Dakota, made the point of no quorum, but withdrew it, and before time for debate could be claimed under the rule the vote recurred on the adops tion of the order. It resuited 56 to 17. Mr. Simpson of Kunsas again made the point of no quorum. Mr. Simpson and Mr, Catchings as tellers took their places and for over half an hour they waited patiently for the belated arrivals to make up the coveted quorum. With the arrival of members came a stream of visitors into the galleries and at 11:652 when Mr, Cateh'ngs reported a quorum the hall of repressntatives presented an anis mated appearance. The vote had resulted 152 to 28 in favor of the speclal order, Mr. Simpson, who remarked sarcastically sotto voce that he was trying.to protect the president ogainst the vindictive assaults of republicans, recreant democrats and cuckoos, made no attempt to get the yeas and neys and the special order was declared adopted, Before the debate began the speaker ans upon the the resolution the Explosion 104 Lodge Toom. nounced that he would recognize two members FRANCISCO, Feb, 14.—Two mem-|of the committea on ways and means, Mr, ot the Spring Valley lodgé of Good | Wilson and Mr. Reed, in the aflirmative, and ars went early to the lodge roo Messrs, Hopk'ns, republican of Illinols, and e for a meeting, They struck Bryan, demcerat of Nebraska, in the negative in the ante room, which was full of { ty control four hours of the time atlotted for ndelier, A terrific debate, the remaining hour to be given to des explosion followed, blowing out the sldes s and roof of the hall.
