2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, 1896. e s L s e e e e e i SMITH' DEFENDS THE PRESIDENT, The New Jersey Senator Is Not in Accord With His Colleague ON MONROE DOCTRINE. Strongly Opposes the Adoption of the Sewell -and- Davis Resolutions. MR, MORTON IS AGAIN SCORED. The Secretary of Agriculture Said to Have Favored Nebraska With Seeds. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10.—A joint resolution was introduced in the Senate to-day by Cameron (R.) of Pennsylvania, and after its first and second reading was laid on the table to be called up hereafter, vearnestly recommending the good offices of the United States to the favorable con- sideration of the Spanish Government for the recognition or the independence of Cuba.” A speech in relation to the Monroe doc- trine was made by ith (D.) of New Jer- sey. He declared himself opposed to the resoluticn offered by his colleague, Sewell (R.) of New Jersey, which declared the President’s Venezuelan message inoppor- tune, equally opposed to that reported from the Committee on Foreign Relations by Senator Davis (R.)of Minnesota, ex- tending the application of the Monroe doctrine, and as having little sympathy with the position assumed by Senator Wolcott of Colorado. The remainder of the day. was spent in the discussion of the joint resolution di- recting the Secretary of Agriculture to purchase and distribute seeds for the year 1896.. A final vote was not reached. Cameron (R.) of Pennsylvania intro- duced a joint resolution relative to the termination of the war in Cuba. The reso- lution provides that ‘“‘as it appears there are no means of securing permanent peace in Cuba except by the recognition of its right to seli-government, the good offices of the United States are earnestly recom- mended to the favorable consideration of the Spanish Goyernment of the recognition of the independence of Cuba.” The resolution was read a first and sec- ond time and laid on the table for the present. Senator Quay’s resolution to recommit the House tariff vill with the free-coinage amendment to the Finance Committee for further consideration was laid before the Senate, and, on the suggestion of Gorman, Quay consented to let it go over until to- morrow. Smith then addressed the Senate ir op- vosition to the resolution offered by his colleague (Sewell), as well as to the reso- lution reported by Davis on the subject of the Monroe doctrine. Smith at the outset said he was opposed to the adoption of the resolutions intro- duced by his colleague and he was quite as strongly opposed to the adoption of the resolutions introduced by the Senator from Vlinnesota and reported in an amended form by the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions, and, supplementing these two asser- tions with the remark that he had very little sympathy with the position assumed by the Senator from Colorado, Smith gave his reasons for his attitude in the matter. He said: “lhere is no occasion for any action of any kind upon this subject by this body at this time. We have done all that either prudence can justify or patriotism de- mand. We bave met the situation out- lined to us by the President in such a manner as to show that there is no divi- sion of sentiment in the Gowernment of the United States when any question of National honor isinvolved. By entering upon a discussion of what we have al- ready done and by reopening the question which we havealready answered we would only succeed in nullifying, or at least qual- ifying, the action we have already taken.”” The Senator then proceeded, in jusufica- tion of his assertion, to present the facts as contamned in the message of the Presi- dent of December 17: “The deductions therein by the President, that it was the duty of the United States, in its own inter- est and for its own protection, to determine the rightful location of the divisional line and other points leading to the appoint- ment of the commission.” £ Smith asserted his inability to agree with his colleague where he says that *‘this action was.premature and inoppore tune in view of the business and financial condition of the country, and,” continued Smith, “if any act of a President of the United States involved National honor or National disgrace can only be taken with propriety when the business and financial condition of the country is such as to war- rant it, then great indeed must be the in- dignation of my colleague when he con- templates the conduct of George Wash- ington, James Madison, and above all, the many and most ‘inopportung’ acts of Abraham Lincoln.” Referring to the recent speech of Sena- tor Wolcott of Colorado, Smith suggested that while no harm can result from laund- ing the deeds of English sailors and Eng- lish soldiers, he (Smith) preferred to con- templete the achievements of Washington, of Greene, of Putnam, of Allen, of Jack- son, of Paul Jones, and even of Lafayette, to those of Clive, Nelson and the others, whose acts have made so deep an impres- sion upon the mind and heart of the Sena- tor from Colorado. i ““This country, sir,” he co ntinued, “owes nothing to England; if the ties of kindred have been broken, she was the aggressor. From the very beginning of the attempt of the noble man who achievea American independence to the present day, the atti- tude of Great Britain toward this Nation has been one, first. of contempt and then of hostility; then of submission to force of arms, and since that time of ever increas- ing jealousy until it has become the part of wisdom and prudence to assume the condescending and patronizing attitude perfectly typified in the language of Lord Salisbury in his letter to our Secretary of State, and I consider the assertion that we owe gratitude to such a power a perver- sion of history for purposes of eloquence.” Referring to the resolution submitted upon behalf of the Committee on Foreign Relations, Smith opposed its adoption 2 the ground that there is no occasion or necessity for such definitfon of the Monroe doctrine at this time. Condinuing, the Senator declared: “That ringing message of the President of the United States, promptly supported by the unanimous vote of both houses of Congress and by the unmiumu.s sentiment of the country, is sufficient notice to every power in the civilized world that the Mon- roe doctrine isa fixed principle of this Gov- ernment to be maintained in all cases and at all hazards.” Lindsay (D.) of Kentucky gave notice of an amendment to the House tariff bill, proposing to repeal the provision of the present tariff law, which provides a duty of one-eighth of & cent per pound on all sugars above No. 16 Dutch standard and on all discolored sugars. The Senate then resumed consideration of the joint resolution directing the Secre- tary of Agriculture to purchase and dis- tribute seeds, and Vest (D.) of Migsouri addressea the Senate in support of the joint resolution and in condemnation of the course pursued by Secretary Morton. That gentleman, he said, in a newspaper interview invited impeachment by Con- gress and intimated that if Congress passed the joint resolution the President would veto it. The Secretary and his friends attacked Congress and charged that the seed distribution was used for personal and selfish purposes, but the fact should be made known that the Secre- tary himself had used that legislation more largely and unhesitatingly than any member of Congress had ever endeavored todo. This was proved by the table in the Secretary’s annual report for 1894-95, showing that 278,000 papers of seeds had been sent to the State of Nebraska—the Secretary’s State—more than the State was entitled lo. Vest gave additional figures from the ta- ble referred to showing an unfair distribu- tion of seeds, largely in favor of Nebraska, and said: “If this law bas been prosti- tuted for personal purposes, who bas gone further in that direction than the Secre- tary of Agriculture?” He concluded by offering a substitute for, the joint resolution. It authorizesand di- rects the Secretary of Agriculture to pur- chase and distribute valuable seeds for the year 1896 as has been done in previous years, but not to pay more than a reason- able and fair price for any of them. Bate (D.) of Tennessee defended the Sec- retary of Agriculture from “the onslaught made upon him,” and expressed the beliet that Secretary Morton had carried out the law toits fullest extent. Gray (D.) of Delaware said that he had examined the law relating to seeds, and that the interpretation given it by tue Sec- retary of Agriculture and the Attorney- General was correct. The bill went over without action. The Senate proceeded to the considera- tion of executive business. When the doors were reopened a message from the House of Representatives announcing the death of Representative Crain of Texas was Jaid before the Senate. Milis (D.) of Texas offered resolutions expressive of the deep sensibility with which the Senate bad neard the announce- ment of Mr. Crain’s death and for the ap- pointment of a committee of three Sen- ators to join the House committee to take | orders for superintending the fineral. The resolutions were agreed to and Sen- ators Mills (D.) of Texas, Gallinger (R.) of New Hampshire and Frye (R.) of Maine were appointed. The Senate then, as a further mark of respect, at 3:10 adjourned until to-morrow. GRIEVANCES OF RED MEN General Council of Ogallala In- dians to Send Delegates to ‘Washington. A Great Powwow and Feast Held on the Wounded Knee Battle. field. DEADWOOD, 8. D., Feb. 10.—The gen- eral council of the Ogallala Indians con- vened to-day at Red Dog's camp, or the village on Wouunded Knee Creek, about thirty miles north of Pine Ridge, accord- ing to programme, for the purpose of se- lecting delegates to send to Washington to confer with the President and Interior De- partment concerning matters relating to the treatment of the Indians. The coun- cil is lergely attended, almost every Indian and mixed blood being present, and the greatest harmony prevails. Itis thought that no difficulty will be encountered in selecting the delegates and raising funds to defray their expenses. The head chief presided and secretaries were chosen. To-day’s proceedings consisted chiefly in formulating a list of grievances to be preseuted and a general interchange of views relating to the same. The principal grievances are as to the manner of pro- cedure against criminals and the issuance of annuities. The Indians claim thatin the treaty of 1877 it was provided that the crime of murder and the graver offenses against the whites should be tried under the general lawsof the United States, but that triviai offenses and cases where the Indians alone are involved should be tried before the Indian police judges, whereas this treaty obligation has been violated and takes them off the reservation, often hundreds of miles, entailing expense and suffering. They will ask for the annuities to be paid in cash, instead of clothing and supplies. They want a stripof land in Nebraska and the southern boundary of South Dakota, which is now five by ten milles, extended along the line for 100 miles. They did not know at the time of the treaty that there was gold in the Black Hills and they will ask for more money for the hills. They want a lawyer to represent them in all legal matters, In the interest of education and morals the school-children are forbidden to engage in certain dances, and there is some dissent to this as an infringement of their rights. There is not a snadow of hosulity on the reservation. Major Clapp, who succeeded CaPuin Penny as agent, has the Indians well under control. The council was held in a large, round, log Omaha dancehouse located on the sum- mgt of a hill in the midst of hundreds of white tepees and on the battlefield of Wounded Knee. 1n the center of the council-room a huge fire burned. Around it were 125 black kettles, in which the bodies of 200 dogs were stewing. —_— MATT QUAY HAS THE BEE. Enters the Race for the Presidential Nomination. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10.—There is a new Richmond in the field for the Republican Presidential nomination. is Matthew Stanley Quay, Senator from Pennsylvania. Two months ago Senator Quay positively denied that he would be s candidate, but recent political develop- ments have changed his determination. State Treasurer-elect Haywood of Pennsyl- vania, isin Washington and had a long talk with Quay to-day. Afterward Mr. Hay- wood says he felt justified in saying that Senator ‘Quay’s nam resen to the connn’tion. *iald ey e It |- SHORT SESSON OF THE HOLSE Adjournment Caused by the Death of Crain of Texas. NOW NEARING A VOTE. Soon a Ballot Will Be Taken on the Bond Bill and Free Coinage Substitute. SOME OPPOSITION TO SILVER. = General Debate, According to _the Present Programme, to Proceed Two More Days. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb, 10.—The sudden and unexpected death of Repre- sentative Crain of Texas, the first member to die in the course of a session of the Fifty-fourth Congress, announced ‘to the Houge by Sayres (D.} of Texas, caused an adjournment after the House reassembled for Monday’s session. In view of this fact an arrangement was made to give to-mor- row afternoon’s session to the considera- tion of business reported from the Com- mittee on the District of Columbia; the remainder of the time until the close of the legislative day of Wednesday to be oc- cupied in the further general debate of the bond free coinage bill; Thursday after- noon will be given to the consideration of amendments to the bill, a vote to be taken at that hour.- on recommending to the House concurrence in the Senate substi- tute. Y o In the morning session, a continuation of Saturday’s proceedings, Hamner (R.) of Nebraska and Calderhead (R.) of Kansas spoke ugainst the free coinage of siiver, and McDearmon (D.) of Tennessee and Skinner (Pop.) of North Carolina in favor of it. When the house resumed its sedsion at 10:30 o’clock this morning Hainer (R.) of | Nebraska opposed the free coinage substi- tute of the Senate, He asked why this debate was carried on in the face of the fact that every one knew that the proposi- tion in. the bill could not be crystallized into & law, and the debate tended to in- crease the disquiet. McDearmon (D.) of Tennessee, speaking in favor of the Senate substitute, advo- cated the coinage of the seigniorage of the bullion in the treasury. In view of Crain’s death, Dingley (R.) of Maine asked and obtained unanimous con- sent for the following arrangement: 1. That to-morrow (Tuesday) from 12 to 5 o’clock be devoted to the consideration of business of the District of Columbia. 2. The rest of the legislativeday of Tues- day, sessions from 8 to 10:30 o’clock ». M. and from 12 noon Wednesday, and the morning of legislative day of Wednesaay be devoted to the further discussion in general debate of the penaing bill. 3. That from 12 noon to 4 p. 3. Thursday be devoted to the consideration of the bill under the five-minute rule for debate and amendment; at 4 o’clock the committee of the whole to vote upon recommending concurrence Or non-concurrence in the Senate substitute to the House bill. Sayres (D.) of Texas announced the death of his colleague, Crain, and after the adoption of the usual resolutions the House at 12:15 P, M. adjourned till to- MOTrow. b Ao FIRST DEATH OF THE BESSION, Representative Crain of Texas a Victim of Pnewmonia. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10.—Repre- sentative William H. Crain of the Eleventh District of Texas died at an early hour this morning of pneumonia, contracted at the Southern charity ball last week. No ar- rangements have yet been made for his funeral. He was in his seat in the House Saturday lasc. ‘When the House opened this morning Crain’s desk was draped with black and on it rested a bunch of roses and hvacinths, Crain was born in Galveston, Tex., November 25, 1848. He graduated from St. Francis Xavier College of New York with the degree A. M., studied law and was admitted to practice in 1871, He filled a number of honorable offices in his own State and was a member of Congress for six consecutive terms. IT WILL BE POSTPONED. No Prospect of an Immediate Reorgani- zation of the Senate. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10.—Senator Pritchard of North Carolina left the city to-day to be gone a fortnight, Thisfact is evidence thatnothing in the way of the reorganization of the Senate will be attempted for at least that time. Mr. Pritchard carried through the caucus ihe nomination of Major Grant, of his State, for sergeant-at-arms, and he would not leave the Benate if the election were to come up very soon. In fact he made a gnafu:adnqulry intothisquestion before ne lepar L. t is understood that the vote may not be taien in the Senate .this month at all, but it may be postponed some time, There appears to be a division among the Repub- licans as to what is to be done under the circumstances owine to the attitude of the Populists, who contend they will support their own candidates. Until the situation clears up somewhat no attempt will be made to carry into effect the will of the caucus, althongh it is admitted that when the vote is taken the men nominated last | Ce week will receive the support of the solid Republican party of the Senate. Receipts of Postoffices. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10.—The receipts of the thirty larger postoffices of the United States for the month of Janu- ary, 1806, amounted to $2,842,340, a net in- craase over the first mztz’t’h of 1895 of $215,000. the offices show an increase except S8an Francisco and Milwaukee, where the decrease was $723 and $4606 re- speetively. New York City heads the list, followed by Chicago, Pniladelphia, Bos- ton, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Brookiyn, the t::ext half-dozen larger cities in re- ceipts. T s . Rackliff Rock Light. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10.—The Lighthouse Board notihies mariners that on or about February 29,1896, a light of the fourth order, showing fixed white for twenty-eight seconds, followed an aclign of two seconds, will be established ia the structure recently erected on the westerly part of Rackliff rock, north side of the mouth of the Coquille River, Ore- gon. The light will illuminate the entire horizon, but can be seen from seaward only between Cape A to the north- ward and the outlying rocks to the south- ward. —_———— MAY KILL BOTH MEASURES. e Silver and ZTariff Will Be Tabled in the Senate. WASHINGTON, D, C., Feb. 10.—An arrangement, it is said, has been made in the Senate whereby Quay is to withdraw his resolution to recommit the tariff bill, and the vote will be taken on the bili and substitute as it was reported to the Senate by the committee. Morrill, chairman of the Finance Committee, has given notice that he would call the bill up Wednesday and seek to make it the unfinished busi- ness. Republicans have little fear of the free-silver substitute being favorably acted upon, but they see no hope of the ultimate passage oi the House bill, or any other tariff provisions. According to statements made this after- noon by a prominent Republican member of the committee, thirteen or fourteen anti-silver Demoerats will vote against the free-coinage substitute, and all the silver Republicans will vote against it, with the possible exception of Teller and Mantle. But when the tariff bill is thus divorced from the silver question, it iy asserted that the combined vote of the Democrats and the Populists will be cast in favor of & motion to table the bill, and this may defeat it. MR. MORTON EXPLAINS. Why the Secretary Sent an Ewvtra Quota of Seed to Nebraska. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C.,, Feb. 10.—Re- ferring to the charge of Senator Vest that the Secretary of Agriculture bad dis- tributed 150,000 more packages of seed in Nebraska than that State was entitled to last year, Secretary Morton says: ‘‘Under the law one-third of all the seed purchased was to be distributed by the Secretary of Agriculture. In accordance with that provision, some years ago, when there was great suffering along the sea islands of &za Carolina coast, the Secre- tary of Agriculture, throngh Clara Barton and the Red Cross, gave a great portion of the seeds which he was authorized to dis- tribute to the people where fields and gar- dens bad been ruined by the tidal wave. As to that very large distribution of seed to those-Southern sufferers no complaint was made. Therefore, durin#.: the recent seasons of extreme drought in the North- west the Secretary of Agriculture frankly confesses that he gave far more than the normal quota of seed to Nebraska, Kansas and each of the Dakotas and to Oklahoma.” IN'A GUATEMALA PRISON, Unjust Detention of an American Who Had Not Committed Crime. One Judge Finally Induced to Liberate the Man, but He Had to, Be Bribed. CHICAGO, IrL., Feb. 10.—John J. Bar- gar of Webster City, Iowa, arrived in this city to-night from Guatemala. Mr. Bargar, who has just been released from.an im- prisonment of two months and a half ina jail at Zacapa, told a United Press reporter that he was glad to get back to the United States alive. Mr. Bargar went to Central America two years ago from Iowa to en- gage in the mining business, but his ven- tures were not successful. Then he went on a railroad now being built en the line between Guatemala and Honduras and ob- tained work as a grading foreman on the contract held by William Morgan, an American contractor. Morgan was shot by a Jamaica negro one morning, and Bargar coming up immediately was ar- rested with the negro and taken to the Zacapa jail. Mr, Morgan testified that Bargar was not a witness to the shooting and he was let go under bond that he would appear asa witness. In three days, however, he was rearrested, and although no charge was preferred he was sent to jail. “The weather was extremely hot, and the heatin the jail was stifling,” said Mr. Bargar. “There were about 100 prisoners in the jail, and they were divided into squads of twenty-five each. Each division was put in a common cell, where they slept on the floor without any bedding or covering of any kind. The cells were wreaking in filth. I had a little money, and with this I managed to keep myself from starving.” Monroe Fulkerson, a lawyer of this city, in some way was apprised of Mr. Bargar's predicament, and with great pluck went to Zaczpa. He found on his arrival that the contractors for whom Bargar had been working were trying to secure his re- lease, and were preparing to raise $400 with which they said they could buy the prisoner's freedom. Finally Mr. Fulker- son prevailed upon the Judge of Zacapa to hear Mr. Bargar's case. He reached the conclusion after some talk that Bargar was innocent, but demanded $200 of Fulkerson to recompense him for acting, as he claimed, as an attorney. Mr. Fulker- son finally oifered to pay $100 if the whole matter -was settled and his prisoner re- leased. This was accepted and Bargar was set free. An attempt will probably be made to re- cover damages from the Guatemalan Government. Mr. Bargar shows the effects of his long imprisonment. e 3 s Sheep in Fyoming. CASPER, Wvo., Feb. 10.—Joseph Desert, a prominent sheepman, came into town yesterday from 100 miles north of here and reports that the fall of snow in the country traveled over will average six inches. All the sheep are 1n prime condi- tion. Two hundred and fifty thousand sheep are being winter-ranged in this country. Prices are better than last year, & herd having been sold recently mrfz 25, and woolmen expect to get 7 or 8 cents a pound for wool. T R ZLand Grants to Railroads. WASHINGTON, D. C., Geb. 10.—The Secretary of the Interior has approved the following land grants to railroads: Supplemental list of 36,718 acres to the ntral Pacific Railroad, successor to the California and Oregon Railroad, granted under the provisions of the actof July 25, 1866. Another list to the same road, under the same provisions, containing 216,204, both in the Redding (Cal.) land_district. A third list to this road contained 9558 acres. To the Southern Pacific branch line 5249 acres. ——igiea To Investigate Reciprocity. WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. 10.—The House Committes on Accounts has de- cided to recommend the passage of the resolution presented by Tawney (R.) of Minnesota, authorizing the Committee on Ways and Means to investigate the reci- Pprocity question. The scope of the inquiry relates to the trade resuiting from the commercial a, ments with foreign coun- tries, entered into after October 30, 1890 (under the Blaine reciprocity treaties). e g Cramps Will Get the Contract. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10.—It is stated at the Treasury Department that Onmfp & Sons of Philadelphia, at their bid of $198,600 for building revenue cutter ?o.i, will probably be awarded the con- racl MANUFACTURERS AT A BANQUET, Noted Men Meet and Feast at the Fashionable Delmonico’s. WARNER MILLER TALKS. Necessary for the Producer to Seek Closer Relations With the Outside World. GOOD MARKETS MAY BE FOUND. Importance of Constructing the Nica- ragua Canal in the Vast Trade of the Pacific. NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—Hon. Warner Miller. vice-president of the National As- sociation of Manufacturers of the United Btates for the State of New York, and & number of other gentlemen prominently identified with manufacturing interests in this State, entertained the executive com- mittee of the association at a banquet et Delmonico’s to-night. Among the guests were: Theodore Czarch of Philadelphia, president of the association; Robert TLaidlaw of Ohio, treasurer; E. P. Wilson of Ohio, secretary ; John H. Converse, vice-president for Penn- sylvania; John B. Kirk, vice-president for Illinois; Henry 8. Story, vice-president for California, and Thomas Dolan of Phila- delphia, ex-president. When the menu had been disposed of Hon. Warner Miller addressed the com- pany. He said in part: “The people of the United States have stood uninterested spectators of the hot scramble ot the European nations to pos- sess themselves of the uncivilized portions of the globe; but the action of wealth and power of production beyond our wants compel us to seek closer relations with the outside world. “We have lying at our doors, at the South and in the Orient, in the Pacific, a market which will take all we have to give it, if by wise statesmanship we cultivate such relations with these, our neighbors, as will give us their friendship.” After quoting figures showing the amount of exports annually from Mexico, the Central and South American states and Cuba, Mr. Miller referred to the value of dir-ct lines of transportation and the necessity of an early re-establishment of the treaties of reciprocity. “Tomy n.ind,” he said, “there is butone possible way of securing to the United States its proper propoertion of the vast trade of the Pacific, and that is by the construction of the Nicaragua canal.” Addresses were also delivered by Major Strong of this city, Mayor Wurster of Brooklyn and Theodore Czarch of Phila- delphia, Henry B, Haigh and others of the executive committee. TRACING THE MURDERERS Additional Evidence Against the Men Who Had a Hand in Pearl Bryan’s Death. Lulu May Hollingsworth Confesses That She Is Responsible for the Crime. CINCINNATI, Osnio, Feb, 10.—To-day the detectives in the Fort Thomeas murder case took the bloody coat found in a catch basin yesterday to the jail and tried it on Walling and Jackson. When Jackson saw the coat he said it was his property. He claimed that he put it in a closet on Janu- ary 6 1n his room at the boarding-house and has not had it in his hands since. He put it on, and the negro, Allen Johnson, said that it looked like the coat Jackson had on the night he took Pearl Bryan away in the cab. Jackson signed a state- ment to the effect that the coat was his property and it was turned over to the Mayor. After the coat had been tried on Jack- son, whom it fitted exactly, Walling put it on. The coat would not button across his chest and the sleeves struck him half way between the elbow and wrist. This is an important discosery. The piece of shirt- sleeve that was found cuts a figure in the case. Walling was the man who had the struggle with the woman. She could have secured a good hold on the shirtsleeve owing to the fact that the coat did not con- ceal much of the sleeve. Whatthe officers now want is the shirt from which the sleeve was torn. The cap found was next shown to Wal- ling and he said it was his, but that Jack- son used to wear it. It was next taken to Jackson who put it on, and it adjusted’it- self to his head to a nicety. Inquiries were made to-day at all the toll-gates and revealed some interesting facts. Two separate witnesses testified to the fact that a cab was driven rapidly to- ward the scene of the murder about 10 o’clock Friday night and back again at the same break-neck pace after 2o’clock Saturday morning, going toward Fort Thomas. Searching parties have been making a thorough search of the sand bar at Dayton all day in hopes of finding the missing head. Both prisoners will fight against being taken to-Kentucky for trial, but it is understood requisitions will be Governor Bradley within a few days. INDIANAPOLIS, Inp., Feb. 10.—Lula May Hollingsworth, who was brought to light yesterday as an intimate friend of Pearl Bryan, the girl found murdered at Fort Thomas, late to-night crowned her confessions by finally declaring that she herself had performed a criminal opera- tion on Miss Bryan. Early this evening she confessed that Miss Bryan and Wal- ling had been here on Thursday night be- fore the murder. After continuous work by the detectives she weakened further about 10:30 o’clock 10-night and told why she believed the victim had died of a criminal operation. Walling and Miss Bryan, she declared, had an appointment with her Thursday evening and she met them upon their arrival from Oincinnati. Walling and the girl spent the night either at the American or Fields hotel. The Holingsworth woman went there at 4 o’clock Friday morning and met Miss Bryan and ihey walked together down Kentucky avenue to the Cleveland block. There a room had been engaged, but Pearl Bryan re- fused to go into it. They then sat down on the stairs, and then and there, accord- ing to her statement, the Hollingsworth woman performed the operation with an instrument brought from Cincinnati by Miss Bryan. After it was over they went to the Union station, and there the victim was left alone at 5:30 o’clock in the morn- ing. Shetold the Hollingsworth woman she would meet Walling there and they would take the train at 6:50 for Cincin- nati. May Hollingsworth says she believes she died that same day orevening in Jack- son’s room at Cincinnati. Lol R AFTER THE SUGAR TRUST. Lindsay Has an A:mendment to the House Tariff Bill. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10.—Sen- ator Lindsay is after the American Sugar Trust. He gave notice to-day that he in- tended offering an amendment to the House tariff bill, now pending before the Senate, for a repeal of the provision of the present tariff law, which provides a differ- ential duty of 3£ of a cent per pound on all sugars above sixteen Duteh standard. The proposed amendment will neither affect the stock of the American Sugar Trust nor disturb the price of sugar, as it is a fact generally conceded that there will be no tariff legislation of any kind at this session of Congress, and nothing can go through the Senate which does not bear the stamp of “silver’” amd nothing will meet with executive approval that is so branded. il o T DENVER'S NEW MINT. The Site Has Been Selected by the Treasury Department. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10.—The Secretary of the Treasury has decided to accept for a site for the new mint building to be erected in Denver, the property of- fered by A. C. Dake, fronting 293 feet on Colfax avenue and 163:6 feet on South Thirteench and Evans streets. The price to be paid is $60,000. The price originally asked for this property was $90,000. " It was afterward reduced to $62,500 and finally to $60,000, at which it has to-day been aecepted. The property is readily reached by street rail- way lines, is near the State capitol, and is 1| regarded both by Mr. Preston, director of the mint, and Mr. Aiken, the supervising architect of the treasury, as better suited for the purpose of a mint than any property offered anywhere near the same price. —_—— OF INTEKEST TO THE COAST. Secretary Herbert Direets That the Co- manche Be Turned Over. WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 10.—Secre- tary Herbert to-day directed that the old | monitor Comanche be turned over to the | California naval militia. . Miss L. B.

Republican Congressmen of New ¥ork | Approve His Candidacy. WASHINGTON, D. C.. Feb. 10.—A sertes | of resolutionsindorsing Govérnor Morton's candidacy for the Presidential nomination at St. Louis have been prepared and circu- lated among the Republican members of the New York delegation. They were | signed to-day by all the New ‘Yorkers present at the session of the House, ana the remaining members, it is said, will affix their signatures to-morrow. The pur- ‘pose of the resolutions is principally to set | at rest the belief that the Republican poli- ticians of the State are not sincere in their support of Governor Morton as their can- didate for Presidential honors.

Worthy a Fair Hearing Because He Is Honest. “Practice makes perfeet” is a proverb so old that it may be said to be trite. That it does not help skill to perform any given thing will not readily be disputed, but there are still some of the “old school” 8o bigoted that they will aver, and that, too, with an evident air of sin- cerity, that all a man wants in this world—no matter what his trade or profession may be—is ‘“plenty of expericnce and practice.”” But modern science has blown all these theories to the four winds of heaven like chaff, A good groundwork of education is, of course, neces- sary, and a great amount of skill must back up both that and experience in order to accom- plish the best results. A plain case in evidence is that of the famous Hudson Medical Institute (the most celebrated curative establishment on this continent, if not in the world), whose physicians have made such a record for the cure of all curable diseases. They have had the foundation ot the most perfect educations that has been backed up by their selection by the management for their acknowledged skili, and, of course, their experience is far greater than any twenty, or even more, physicians in private practice could have., Itis plain to any man vho has ever gone to them for treatment. Perhaps one example of this is sufficient here. Mr. K. C, Taft was suffering from a very serious disease when he applied to the specialists at the Institute, but is now strong and w at he saw skill as well as practiceis clearly shown by the following lette STOWE, Cal., August 20, 1895. Hudson Medical Institute, San Francisco, Cal.—Gentlemen: I am feeling fine, without a sign of disease now. Last week I was working hard end sweat, and I drank a great deal of water. When I urinated I felt a coolness, but when'I had rested that left me. Outside of that I feel as young as ever I did, which is all through the skill of the physicians of the Hud- son Medical Institute. I can never say enougi in praise of what they have done for me. Yours faithfully, TAFT. Mr. Tait shows his apprect cleerly 1n this sound, common-sense view of his cure. Haraly an hour passes unless the management gets letters similar in tone to this, for there are people who are thankful when ‘'r good turn” is done them. And the Hudson Medical Institute does good to every patie I A. Burton of Grass Valley says: “‘The medi- cine that I took did me lots of good.” 8. J.

Testimony of this eort piles up as fast as snow ageinst the “weather” side of a building in winter, and it all goes to demoustrate as clearly as the sun shines that “The Hudson Medical Institute is the best end only piace to g0 when yau areiil and wantquickand certain relier.” “Your I think, established & perfect All the Following Cases Are Curablet Catarrh of the head, stomach or bladdes; all bronchial diseases; all functional nervous diseases; Bt.
