Low Prices Have Not Yet Caused an Increased Consumption in This Country. CHICAGO, Irr., Dec. 19.—George S. Bowen, president of the Textile Manu- facturers’ Association of the South and West, has issued a call for a conference at the Palmer House for Tuesday, January 14, to consider certain difficulties of the present trade situation which are ex- plained in the call, which say “Manufacturers are forced to contend with coutinuously aeclining markets. Im- ports of certain competitive foreign goods are largely increasing and our manufac- turers are compellied to reduce their prices materially in order to compete with the low-priced productions of European and A ic countries, the commerce of which g great advantage in our mar- kets by reason of exchange in the silver- using countries, the great reduction in our tariff rates and the repeal of our reciproc- ity laws, and asa result we are brought face to face with new and untried conai- tions. Exports of all agricultural produc- tions are now made at lower prices than ever before realized in the history of our country. “The great bulk of our consumers are thus obliged to restrict their purchases to the lowest possible limit so that low prices do not increase consumption. The textile manufacturers are immensely interested in the present situation, and some thought- ful expression of their recent practical ex- perience must have great weight in direct- ing wise and prudent legislation in the present emergency.” The association has 1200 members and embraces mills which operate 2,000,000 spindles and 1000 sets of wool cards. e DEFENSE OF DR. HEARNE. With His Wife He Gave Testimony in Sup- port of His Claim of an Alibi. BOWLING GREEN, Mo., Dec 19.—Nearly all the principal witnesses were in court when the defense began their testimony in the trial of Dr. Hearne this morning. The examination was mainly directed towards proving an alibi and was without any sen- sational features. Both thedefendantand his wife were upon the witness-stand at the afternoon session. Mrs. Hearne was firm and self-possessed and her testimony, wliich covered even the remotest acts con- nected with the tragedy, was a denial of any knowledge of the identity of the mur- derer. Dr. Hearne was the next witness. Up- on direct examination he denied every material statement of other witnesses as- sociating him with the crime and cross- examination rather strengthened the doc- tor’s story, and if it be corroborated with other testimony, a good alibi will be made out. Other witnesses followed, tes- tifying to the good character of the de- fendant. Presiding Judge Roy rebukes every delay and seems desirous of giving the case to the jury as early as Saturday night. —_— o Railway Traffic Impeped. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 19.—On ac- count of the tremendous rainfall in Mis- souri railway traffic has been seriously disrupted. All trains on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas north cf Sedalia have been abandoned, long stretches of track being under water. At Rich Hill the Maries des Cygnes River is out of its banks, and great damage 1s feared. Ne- vada, Mo., reports the Maratonn River higher than for four years past, and rising " eight inches an hour. At Jefferson City a ten-foot rise in the Missouri has oc- curred, while the Osage and Gasconade are higher than for years. el v, S Daniel Ambrose Gone.

MURDER WAS HIS MANIA. Boasted of Having Put to Death No Less Than Four Human Beings. SLEW A CHINESE IN THIS CITY. Among His Other Exploits Was the Killing of a Young Woman at Pasadena. POLIS, M1~x., Dec. 19.—Harry Hayward’s ante-mortem statement, dic- tated to a stenographer the night before his execution, contains his confession of the Ging murder and also the startling in- formation that he committed three mur- ders before that crime. Hayward stated in his confession that he never got into trouble until he began to gamble. This led him to form the ac- quaintance of counterfeiters, with whom he associated for some time, but he never spent much of the green goods; it was too risky. One time, when he was out riding in St. Louis, the horse became frisky and he shot it. He settled for the animal with the owner. The confession then reads: “The first murder I committed was in n Francisco, in the latter part of 1893. I was playing with a Chinaman for smali stakes and the Celestial was cheating me. I jumped up and told him I had found him out and he came at me with a knife. 1 pulled the heavy chair from uncer me, but I couldn’t get a good swing to strike him, so I poked the leg at him and struck him in the face, He fell and then I punched the leg into his eyeand it crashed right into the skull, and he lay still. After that T dug a hole in the place, under the floor in the shed, and broke up the chair and buried it with the body there. I never heard any trouble from it, although the papers made a report of the finding of the body. “‘After beginning I rather liked the ex- citement. Then luck followed me and I went from there to Pasadena. I had formed the acquaintance of a lively girl, a regular adventuress. I was a little pressed for money and the girl had saved $300. I had her pat, but 1 could not get the cash except by pretending I had an investment for her that was a money-maker. She turned over the money and 1 took her out riding, shot her and buried the body. She was not very well known and was never missed. I never heard of that matter from that day to this. “The last trouble before this was at El Paso Del Norte. I was mixed up with a girl there, and we used to paint things once in a while. One night her brother came at me with a knife. I tried to beat him off with a chair, and the girl cried to me to shoot him or he would kill me and she would be found out. I fired at him and struck him in the shoulder and he dropped the knife, and the girl jumped and picked it up. He was quiet enough after that, and I took him to a drugstore and had his wound dressed. He made up a story how it happened to ward off sus- picion. T left there, and learned afterward that he died of blood poisoning from the wound. “I was introduced to Kate Ging in Jan- uary, 1894. ‘That was a time when I had been suffering pretty heavy losses. It was about April 1 before I was real well acquainted with her, and then I set out to get her money. 1 secured about §3800 from her. That was right about my playing the bank with her for a partner and that Chi- cago business. idid not lose the money there-and aid not intend to. I never took any notes or gave any up to the time when we fixed np the lastscheme. I hypnotized her. “She was a good business woman, but she was not highly educated, and yet wanted to pretend that she understood things readily. In that way I could work on her only through mystery. Morally with Kate Ging there was absolutely noth- ing wrong. I say honmestly that, while I talked pretty plain to her, I played the noble racket with her, and said that even though I was a wild devil I would not do her a wrong for the world. I was playing her for other purposes, you see.” The confession then relates that Hay- ward had the mill at Hamin burned, and that he collected the insurance. He pro- posed to Adry to help him murder Miss Ging, but dropped him because he was too “‘white livered.”” Then follows the details 1 of placing $10,000 on Miss Ging’s life, how they arranged for flashing money in restaurants, visiting fortune tellers, pay- ing over $7000 to her, of which $5000 was counterfeit, turning over the policies, ete. Hayward tnen related how he hypno- tized Blixt and interested him in the plot to murder Miss Ging, but he claimed that Blixt was eager to commit the crime. Hayward took Miss Ging out riding on two occasions, showing her on the first drive a house where he told her counter- feit money could be secured. Thesedrives were taken on Saturday and Sunday nights preceding the murder, Miss Ging taking the buckskin mare on each occa- sion and meeting Hayward near the West Hotel. He intended to ‘“‘smash” her head with the *“T” rail each time, but found no suitable place in which to commit the murder. The last time he saw her was 11 o’clock the morning of the murder. The rest of the confession gives an ac- count of the killing and coincides with the evidence that came out at the trial, Hay- ward meeting Miss Ging near the West Hotel and driving with her to the point where he met Blixt, when the latter drove her to Lake Calhoun and shot her. Hayward told in the confession how he fixed his alibi, and how he took Miss Bartleson to the theater. The Bartleson clock was wrong, and this accounts for the discrepancy in time which bothered the lawyers in the case, 4c¢TS OF 4 NOTARY PUBLIC. Matrimonial Knots Tied and Untied With Impunity. KINGSTON, N, Y., Dec. 19.—Marriage and divorce at the hands of a notary pub- lic constitute a novelty, and Thomas C. Carroll, a groceryman here, claims the distinction of being original in this line. He married two couples on Monday night and divorced two couples that there might be no impediment to their marriage. John Kuhout, who has a_wife, and Sarah Lutz, | weo has a husband, accompanied by kd- ward J. Vredenburgh, a_foreman in a hat factory at Danbury, Conn., and Mrs. Rachel M. Purdy, a widow, called upon Mr. Carroll and announced their desire to wed. Mr. Carroll told them that he had the right as a notary public to perform the marriage, and proceeded to marry Vredenburgh and rs. Purdy. Then Kuhout and Mrs. Lutz announced that they wanted to be married. They admitted their present domestic unhap- Einess, the woman s-yini that her hus- and had not supported her in six years. The notary granted each a divorce before he ;narr;ed them, and accepted $1 from each. Yesterday Vredenburgh called on Justice Clearwater and asked for a certificate of his marriage. When he explained the story Carroll was summoned and admitted his ‘illegal acts. Judge Clearwater then married Vredenburgh and Mrs. Purdy. The other couple are living together, ap- parently satisfied with the ceremony as performed by the notary public. EE b e OIRCULATED BAD MONEYX. Arrest of Two Members of a Band of Counterfeiters. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 19.—Will Graham and George Dyce, two members of the notorious band of counterfeiters whom the secret service men have been chasing all over the country, have been arrested. George Dyce, who is one of the ringleaders, was arrested to-day at the Victogia Hotel in this city. He was brought before United States Commissioner Perry and will be ar- raigned to-morrow William Graham was arrested at Paolo, Kan. He was arraigned before the United States Commissioner in this city, and in default of $2500 bond was committed to the County Jail. His hear- ing was set for December 24. S Both the arrests were made by United States Secret Service Officers Murphy and Burns, with headquarters at Washington and St. Louis respectively. About $1500 in counterfeit money was found on their persons. INFLUENCED BY BAYRD Colonel Ludlow’s Report on the Nicaragua Canal Project. It Is Said That He Imbibed the Em- bassador’s Prejudice While an Attache. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 19.—An in- teresting story has been going the rounds of the diplomatic corps apropos of the Bayard impeachment talk. This, in effect, makes Mr, Bayard responsible for the recent adverse report on the Nicaragua canal. It comes from a very high diplo- matic authority that the Embassador was the inspiring genius to show that the interoceanic canal was not feasible. Colonel Ludlow of the army has been the military attache of the United States embassy to London. When the Nicaragua Canal Commission was formed, Mr. Cleve- land caused some surprise by calling home Colonel Ludlow from his post at London and assigning him as one of three commis- sioners to visit Nicaragua. it was Colonel Ludlow who wrote the report because, as an army engineer, he was regarded as best qualified for that work. No question of his fitness was raised at the time of his adverse report. Now, however, with the entire future of the canal threatened by the severity of the report, it is very strongly hinted that Mr. Bayard’s influ- ence operated powerfully with Colonel Ludlow in shaping the conclusions of the commission. Mr. Bayard has been recognized as an opponent of the Nicaragua canal. A member of the diplomatic corps related an incident in this connection. Several years ago an ingenious model showed an elevated railroad across the isthmus of Panama. The plan_ was to raise yessels by means of huge derricks, placing them on cars and thus transport tfiem by rail from ocean to ocean. It happened that Mr. Windom, then in the Senate, and Mr. Bayard called together to see the model at a time when the diplomat who is authority tor this story was present. Mr. Bayard was peculiarly interested in the model. He said 1t was the only practical means for crossing the isthmus, and then refer- ring to the canal project said: “It is the most chimerical project ever urged before the American people. It is worse than the South Sea bubble. If political influence ever succeeds in stn.rtiu§ the project under Government approval there will be an era of fraud, misappropriation of funds and qfficial scandals such as we have never seen before.” The diplomatist made a note of Mr. Bayard’s remark and repeated it ver- batim. Lieutenant Menocal of the nav. busily engaged in writing a report ai er- ing the adverse conclusion of the Nicara- gua Canal Commission. He says it will point out that the commission was igno- rant of all the essential facts and that its conclusions are widely contrary to the results of scientific investigation. Meno- cal probably knows more about the Nicaragua canal than any other man liv- ing. He conceived the, idea of it, drew the plans on which the present cut is being made and is at present the chief en- gineer of the Nicaragua Canal Company. It was by virtue of this latter position that the President appointed him from civil life to the rank of lieutenantin the navy. He went to Paris and combated the De Lesseps Panama canal project, wry- ing to show that Nicarugua was beiter than Panama fora waterway. With sucha fund of information and experience on the canal Lieutenant Menocal is well qualified, in his own opinion, to demolish the adverse report. . . CANNON TO BE CHAIRMAN. Henderson Will Not Preside Over tlie Ap- propriations Committee. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 19.—The latest Congressional gossip to-night asserts that Henderson of Iowa will not be the chairman of the Appropriations Com- mittee, of which he is the senior Republi- can member. If this report be true—and it is ap%nrently well founded—there is little doubt that the position will again go to Cannon of Illinois, who held the chair- manship in the Fifty-first Congress. It is not unlikely that Speaker Reed, in order to compensate Henderson for his disap- pointment and to show his appreciation of that gentleman’s excellent services, will place him upon the Committee on Rules and bestow the chairmanship of a good committee upon him. SR Trial of the Texas. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec. 19.—The four- hours’ engine-power trial of the United States battleship Texas, postponed yester- day on account of fog and attempted to- day, was not completed. The suction pipes of the drainage system leading from the engine-room to the bilge pumps were not large enough to carry og the water used for keeping the bearings cool, and after an official run of three hours and six minutes the starboard engine was shut down. e 4 Blizzard Raging. WICHITA, Kaxs., Dec. 19.—In Southern and Western Kansas and Oklahoma Ter- ritory a terrible blizzard has been raging all day. The storm is most severe in Oklahoma, where snow has fallen to a depth of from six inches to a foot. Con- siderable damage to range cattle will re- sult. Trains are delayed from five to six hours, and a blockade is feared. The tem- perature is about zero, and continues faliing, B Renominated for Governor. SHREVEPORT, La., Dec. 19.—At the Democratic State convention here to-day Governor Murphy J. Foster was renomi- nated for Governor without opposition, WITH THE ZUCHETTO, Marquis Sacrapanti Arrives at the National Capital. MET BY MGR. SATOLLI. In Full Uniform the Neble Guard Presented the Cardinal’s Insignia. REPLY OF THE EX-DELEGATE. The Patriotism and Courtesy of the American People Were Vividly Portrayed. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 19.—Mar- quis Sacrapanti, the noble guard of Pope Leo XII, equipped with the zucchetto and beretta to be conferred on Mgr. Satolli, ar- rived in Washington at 4:30 o’clock this afternoon, accompanied by Dr. Rooker, Mgr. Satolli’s secretary, and was immedi- ately driven to the legation building. Major John D. Keiley, City Treasurer of Brooklyn, and Mr. McGuire, Surveyor of the Port of New York, came over to Wash- ington as the guests of the noble guard, Mgr. Satolli was advised by telegraph this morning that the zucchetto would be conferred this evening, and he sent out in- vitations at once to his friends to be present at the legation this evening. Those who responded were: M. Patenotre, Embassa- dor of France; Senor Depuy de Lome, 4 Minister of Spain; Mr. Pioda, Minister of Switzerland; Dr. Rooker; Mgr. Sbaretti; Mgr. Keane, rector of the Catholic Uni- versity ; Mgr. McMahon, who founded the McMahon hall of philosophy at the Cath- olic University; Mgr. Stephan; Father Gillespie; Father Magnien, rector of St. Mary’s Seminary, Baltimore; Father Or- ban of the Catholic University; Major Keiley, Mr. McGuire and Mr. Nagle. At 6 o'clock Mgr. Satollr received the noble guard in the reception-room of the legation. Marquis Sacrapanti, in full uniform of a noble guard, had with him the little red zucchetto to be conferred on Mgr. Satolli. He presented Mgr. Satolli with the consistorial letter, and in doing so made a brief address. He explained his mission, and said that at the consistory of the 29th of November last the Holy Father had made Archbishop Satolli a cardinal and had honored him by giving him the mission to bring the insignia and document to America. Mgr. Sbaretti then opened the consis- torial letter and read it. It was a brief and official announcement that the Pope had created Mgr. Satolli a cardinal. The latter then made a speech in Italian, directing it to the noble guard. He said: *‘In thanking you, Marquis Sacrapanti, for the offices which you have performed in conveying to me the official announce- ment of my creation as cardinal of the Roman Catholic church, I can best ex- press my feelings by explaining the three- fold sense of gratitude ‘and surprise with which I received the first unofficial an- nouncement of the intention of the Holy Father to bestow on me this dignity. “It cannot fail to be a matter of supreme gratification to me that the Pope has seen fit to put his approval on the work which has been done in the establishment of an apostolic delegation in the United States, by raising the first apostolic delegate to the dignity of a cardinalate. This gratifi- cation is increased when Isee that the honor which the Holy Father has shown to and conferred on me is made the sub- ject of rejoicing to the whole of the people of this great Republic irrespective of reli- gious pelief. Manifestations of this gen- eral rejoicing have not ceased to pour in onme since the first day it was known in this country that I had been made a car- dinal. “You, Marquis Sacrapanti, have made a long voyage to bring me this official an- nouncement. You have come from the 0ld World to the New, and it gives me®&he sincerest pleasure to welcome you here. You will find, as I have found, that the American people are second to nonme in their generous hospitality. You will be received with'the same kindness as I met with when I came here a stranger., ‘“You will find much to admire ard wonder at in this country—much that to you, coming from the Old World, will be new and marvelous. I am certain, how- ever, that you will admire nothing more than the wonderful spirit of union and brotherly love which prevails in this great Republic. You will see a people scattered over an enormous extent of territory, with an infinite variety of tastes and desires, and of material interests, but all united in the one great object of the maintenance of their constitutional unity and liberty.” Continuing, he made rather a pointea reference to the Venezuelan matter. *‘You have arrived at a particularly in- teresting moment in this regard,” con- tinued Mgr. Satolli—'‘at a moment when a spark has been sent throughout the length and breadth of the country, which calls the attention of all its citizens to the danger which is thought to menace it, and whatever may have been up to to-day the dividing interests of this great people a new manifestation of patriotic spirit has| responded at once to this impulse, and in reply but one voice is heard proclaiming — Cold Is death.

The ecclesiastics present wore their sacer- dotal raiment, and Marquis Sacrapanti was habited in a military garment, which consisted of immense golden-trimmed epaulettes and sword, trousers of dark blue and coat of black cloth. On January 5 the beretta will be con- ferred on Mgr. Satolli by Cardinal Gibbons at Baltimore, which will be the last act of making him a cardinal. He will, however, have to go to Rome in order to receive the cardinal’s hat, but at what time he will de- part he1s not yet aware. As a cardinal cannot be a delegate in the office he has occupied as archbishop, Mgr. Satolli is now a pro-delegate. ) FAVORABLE TO WIMAN, Decision of the Court of Appeals in the Financier’s Case. ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 10.—The Court of Appeals to-day rendered a decision favor- able to Erastus Wiman, charged by his late partners, R. G. Dun & Co., with forg- ing an indorsement on the checkof the firm. This decision contirms that of the Supreme Court at its last general term in January last affirming Judge Barrett’s cer- tificate of doubt as to the justice of the conviction on the trial in the previous June under Judge Ingraham. Thus, in four tribunals before which the | case hascome, Mr.Wiman has won in three, and in accordance with the announcement made by the District Attorney at the re- cent argument here the prosecution, on be- half of the people, it is now supposed, will terminate. FORCABLECONSTRLCTION Meeting of the Incorporators of the Pacific Company at New York. Election of a Board of Directors, With J. Pierpont Morgan at the Head. NEW YORK, N. Y., Dec.19.—A meeting of the incorporators of the Pacific Cable Company, recently organized under the laws of the State of New York, was held at the office of the Central and South Ameri- can Telegraph Company, 37 Wall street, to-day. The following board of directors was elected: J. Pierpont Morgan, Ed- mund L. Baylies, George S. Bowden, J. Kennedy Tod ana James A. Scrymser. James A. Scrymser was elected presi- dent of the company and Edmund L. Bay- lies vice-president and acting treasurer. Messrs. Carter and Ledyard were appointed attorneys for the company. An executive committee was appointed and authorized to arrange to increase the capital of the company to $10,000,000. plan and scope, reported that estimates for the cable laid and guaranteed had been received. A copy of the bill introduced in the United States Senate December 16 by Sen- ator Carter of Montana, was submitted and referred to the counsel of the com- pany for examination and report. It is estimated that it wiil require 7249 miles of cable, including slack, to estab- lish telegraphic communication between the United States and Japan via the Sandwich and other Pacific islands. Let- ters and telegrams from connecting tele- graph companies favoring the enterprise were submitted. o g Filed a Big Mortgage. CHICAGO, IrL., Dec. 19.—A $2,000,000 mortgage was filed late yesterday by the | American Spirits Manufacturing Associa- tion, the successor to the whisky trust, covering the greater part of their Chicag roperty. The Manhattan Trust Company' is made mortgagee. 12 GUARDED BY POLICE, Cars Run Over Lines in the City of Brotherly Love. TRAFFIC IS RESUMED. Strikers Claim That Employers Will Compromise in a Few Days. VIOLENCE PROMPTLY CHECKED. Track Obstructions Quickly Removed and Little Damage Done by Stone-Throwing. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 19.—Only a few disiurbances of a comparatively trivial character marked the third day of the strike of the employes of the Union Trac- tion Company, and on several of its lines the company succeeded in effecting a par- tial resumption of its interrupted traffic. Such cars as were run, however, were heavily guarded by the police. The police authorities, since the outburst of Tuesday, have acted with great firmness, and have succeeded in keeping the mob spirit within bounds. On the lines on which cars were run the presence of policemen on their platforms encouraged the people to ride, and there were many more passengers carried than vesterday. Despite the few disturbances to-day the mob spirit was still apparent on the streets, and to avoid the risk of an outbreak the company again to-day ceased running cars at nightfall. General Man- ager Beetem of the company claims to have all the men he wants, and said that he expects to increase the number of cars on each line each day until the regular schedule is again resumed. The strikers also claim to be much en- couraged by the outlook, and at their headquarters to-day it was generally re- ported that the company woula compro- mise within a day or two. That this is unlikely would seem by the following no- tice issued by Beetem to-day: “All conductors and motormen failing to regulariy report for duty Friday morn- ing (the 20th) and prepared to take out their cars, will no longer be considered employes of the company.”” And in addition 1t was emphatically de- nied by the officials that the ‘company would make any compromise with the strikers, It is thought that many of the men secured by Beetem are from other citles, and if the strikers do not ac- cept the foregoing notice he will put others in their places. As on Tuesday night and last night most of the saloons closed at 6:30 o’clock. The lines that were the most successfully operated to-day were the Fifth and Sixth streets, the Fourth and Eighth, the Thir- teenth and Fifteenth and Market streets. On these streets the cars ran regularly about five minutes apart. On the other lines of the company traffic was not resumed with any degree of regularity. Inthe northwestern section of the city, the northeastern section and the southern section the tracks were obstructed frequently, and in some instances the cars and the motormen, conductors and police- men aboard were stoned. In all cases the obstructions on 'the track were quickly removed, and no great amount of damage was done by the stone-throwing, and the cars all succeeded in getting through. Market street was the center of congregation for a large crowd of men and boys again to-day, but the heavy force of police and mounted officers stationed along the curbstone maintained good order and sternly re- pressed the slightest indication of a row.
