His Insane Dodge Did Not Work—Ac
cessories to be Tried.
Atlanta, November 2.—The jury in the
case of Alex Carr found a verdict of
guilty tonight.
Carr killed Capt. H. O. King three

WILLIAM SPEAKS.
He Addresses His Officers Upon the Death
of the Russian Ruler.
Stettin, Nov. 2.—Emperor William,
who was dining here with officers of
the grenadier guards when the death
of the czar was announced, after re
ceiving the news and dictating a mes
sage of condolence to the czarewitch at
Livadia, arose and addressed the officers
at the table.
He said in part:
Just as the death shadow rested on my
father’s head for an entire year before his
sufferings ended, thus now comes to our
ears the news of a far reaching and seri
ous event. His majesty, the czar, has just
died, and Nicholas 11. has just ascended
the throne of his fathers, one of the heavi
est heritages a prince can enter We,
here assembled, throwing our eyes back
upon our traditions remember the rela
tions which, in olden times, united us in
a brotherhood of arms with the Russian
imperial family.
We unite our feelings for the emperor
who has newly ascended the throne, wish
•• ing that heaven may lend strength for the
duties of Hie heavy office which is just as
sumed by Emperor Nicholas.
At the conclusion of the emperor’s re-
, marks cheers were given for Nicholas
11, and the bands played the Russian
hymn.
DID NOT WITHDRAW.
Ex-Secretary Foster’. Official Kecord Wai
Brought Out Against His Word.
Washington, Nov. 2.—The Republi
cans in the south and west have been
trying to make political capital out of
the issue of bonds by the administra
tion, and Mr. Dockery, in making the
defense on the tump that the policy
was forced upon the Democrats by the
extravagance of the Republicans them
selves, has charged that Secretary Fos
-» ter made preparations to issue bonds
while Harrison was still in office.
Fostsr was asked by a Kansas City
newspaper to make a denial of the
charge. He first wrote to the treasury
department asking if there was on rec
ord a letter from himself on the subject.
None could be found, and. feeling safe,
apparently, ex-Secretary Foster wrote a
letter to the newspaper denying that he
ever contemplated the issue. Soon after
he was informed that no letter was on
file, this letter was found in the depart
ment:

ration of the designs and plate in every

Mr. Foster was notified immediately
of the find, but he did not see tit to

WILSON’S CAMPAIGN.
Good Cheer Greet, the West Virginia
Statesman at Martinsburg.
Martinsburg, W. Va., Nov. 2.—Five
thousand people listened to speeches by
William L. Wilson and Assistant Sec
retary of the Treasury Hamlin. It was
the largest and most enthusiastic meet
ing in the history of the city. A cho
rus of men anti women sang a song en
titled, “William L., Our William L,”
written by a lady of tills city, to the
tune of “My Maryland.” The audi
ence joined
Louis Bell, a negro man, presented to
Mr. Wilson a handsome floral tribute in
behalf of his negro supporters, and a
negro preacher assured him that he
would receive more negro votes in Mar
tinsburg than any candidate ever re
ceived.
Wilson’s Campaign Resources.
Grafton, W. Va., Nov. 2.—The chal
lenge of Chairman Wilson’s campaign
manager to the Republicans to make
public the list of campaign contributions
stolen with other documents, has not
been accepted, but it is learned that the
largest contributions from New York
were S3OO from ex-Secr-tary Fairchild,
SIOO from Francis Lynde Stetson, Mr.
Cleveland’s law partner, and SIOO from
C. B. Rouss, while not one cent was re
ceived from New England. The Wilson
committee has been so pressed for funds
that Mr. Wilson has turned over to it
a check for S2OO from the North Ameri
can Review for articles written by him.
NOT A SUFFRAGIST.
Mrs. Jefferson Davis Denies That Her
Daughter Favor. Woman’s Suffrage.
Richmond, Nov. 2.—Mrs. Jefferson
Davis, in a letter written to a friend
here, indignantly denies the report that
her daughter, Miss Winnie, is a woman
suffragist and has said that she would
vote the Republican ticket if she had a
vote at all. In speaking of this rumor
Mrs. Davis says:
“It is false in every particular. Miss
Davis is not in favor of woman suffrage.
She thinks it would be a misfortune to
our sex if it were conferred and a right
which it would seldom be in their pow
er to exercise, at least in the cities.
“The idea of her saying that she
would vote the Republican ticket is too
monstrous for it to impress the majori
ty of our people as the truth. Yet we'
are mortified that the allegation should
ever have been made.”
A FELTON RECRUIT.
Surprise in Democratic Circles at the Ac.
tion of a Leader.
Atlanta, Nov. 2.—Surprise has been
created in Democratic circles by the
announcement, in a special from Dal
ton, Ga., that Hon. W. R. Rankin of
Gordon, had, in a speech delivered in
Calhoun, espoused the cause of Dr. W.
H. Felton, Populist candidate for con
gress in the Seventh district against
Judge John W. Maddox.
He is quoted as saying he “found
bigger chunks of pure Democracy in
Dr. Felton’s record and the People’s
party than anywhere in this congres
sional district.”
Big Fire m Omaha.
Omaha, Nov. 2.—G. H. Hammond’s
packing house at South Omaha is on

'I wo Firemen Killed.
Omaha, Nov. 3.—Two firemen belong
ing to the Hammond fire department

instantly killed.
Bad Money in Savannah.
Savannah, Nov. 2.—Savannah has
had a flood of bad money within the
last day or two. similar to that floating
around Atlanta a short time ago. A
large number of bad $5 bills has been
found floating around here, and it seems
that those who float them have put in
their work on ignorant and unsuspect
ing people who did not know of their
’loss until they tried to pass the money
somewhere else, and .found, much to
their sorrow, that it was no good. The
extent of this work has not been fully
determined, but several of these coun
terfeit bills, which are poor ones, have
been found.
Death of a College Treasurer.
Washington, Nov. 2.—Rev. William
H. Duncan, treasurer of Georgetown

Plea For Better Arms and Equipments
For the Militia.
TRIALS WITH SMOKELESS POWDER.
Report of the Exportations of
Beef Cattle.
MORTON MAKES A GOOD SHOWING.
Ambassador Runyon Has a Wordy War
With the German Officials Over
Their Retaliatory Methods.
Washington, Nov. 2.—ln his annual
report to the secretary of war General
Flagler,chief of ordnance, makes astrong
point on the insufficiency of the appro
priations for arming and equipping the
militia. He says there is an urgent de
mand from most states to have their
arms changed for a later and better
model. The efficiency of the national
guard in actual service demands this,
and the present appropriation renders it
impossible to effect the change of more
than a small percentage of arms each
year.
Experiments are still being made with
smokeless powders, although contracts
have been already placed for over 20,-
000 pounds, of which 5,000 have been
delivered. It has not been found that
these powders are better than black
powder for the Springfield rifle. During
the year ended June 30 last there were
completed at the Watervliet arsenal the
following heavy seacoast guns: Eight
inch, 11; 10-iuch, 11; 10-inch (Crozier
wire bound), 1; 12-inch, 6; 12-inch (mor
tars), 1.
A chapter in the report tells the story
of long experiments with wire bound
guns—four of which have been tried.
AU have failed but the Crozier, now
under trial, and when that trial is com
pleted the department will have all the
information*hecessary for a comparison
between the wire gun and built up steel
ordnance gun. Under the head of pro
jectile the report states that experiments
have been made here and abroad to pro
duce projectiles that will penetrate Har
veyized armor plate without breaking
up, but so far without marked success,
and it is probable that the most satis
factory solution of the question will be
to increase the caliber of the gun, em
phasizing the already admitted neces
sity for 16-inch guns for our seacoast
defenses.
Morton Makes a Showing*.
Secretary Morton, of the department
of agriculture, has furnished the num
ber of cattle exported to the nnited
kingdom of Great Britain during each
year since 1874, together with the value
of the cattle, in dollars, each year.
It shows that the United States sent
into the unite l kingdom of Great Brit
ain only 123 head of cattle in 1874, while
up to the present date in 1894, the Unit
ed States has already furnished Great
Britain 345,734 head. The United States
sent no fresh beef into England until
1877, when 49,310,990 pounds were sent,
and returned to the farmers of this
country $4,553,433. This year we have
already shipped into the united king
dom 193,331,392 pounds of fresh beef,
which brought $1(5,059,814.
Germany took no live cattle from the
United States until 1878, when that
empire received 1,171 head from the
United States, valued at $87,648. Dur
ing the year 1891 Germany received
from the United States its largest num
ber of cattle, 5.223 head, valued at $487,-
265.
In 1893 Germany received only 419
head, valued at $41,800. Thus far in
1894 she has received 3,0(59 head, valued
at S2BJ, 793. Germany took no fresh
beef from the United States until 1887,
when it took 9,398 pounds, and in 1894
all Germany took of fresh beef from the
United states was 1,06(5 pounds, valued
at SBO.
In view of these facts, Secretary Mor
ton said he does not think it worth
while to exploit or magnify as a matter
of any importance the loss of the Ger
man market to American cattle and
meat producers.
Runyon Has a Little Spat.
A dispatch from Berlin says that the
prohibition by Germany of the importa
tion of cattle has led to a lively exchange
of words between the American embassa
dor, Runyon, and Von Biebersteiu, the
German foreign minister. Mr. Runyon
charged it as unjust, unnecessary and
severe retaliation against the duties im
posed by the United States on German
beet root sugar. These duties, he said,
had been advised by President Cleve
land, though congress would be certain
to annul them.
Von Biebersteiu, in reply, admitted
the severity of the order, but not the
epithets employed by the embassador.
He said Germany would not barter the
soundness of her cattle for a prospective
lowering of the sugar duty. The incu
bation period of the Texas fever, he
added, was six weeks. Therefore, cat
tle leaving the United States in an ap
parently healthy condition might after
wards be attacked and spread the infec
tion.
Mr. Runyon disputed this claim on
the ground that the contagion is propa
gated by insects which are non-existent
in Europe. He also argued that dead
meat can not convey the Texas fever
germs.
STICKS TO HIS COU NT.
Clerk Defrent Says Hill's New York and
Brooklyn Votes Will Swamp Morton.
New York, Nov. 2.—The Democratic
state convention has ] tactically conclud
ed its work for the campaign. The
managers have received a report from
every election district in the state and
are engaged in tabulating figures.
Clerk Defrost is making a couwuta-
uon or tne prooame numoer o. votes
which each ticket will receive. Ha has
not yet made any specific announce
ment of the number of votes he expects
the Democratic and Republican dele
gates to poll, but he adheres to the
statement that Morton’s majority above
Harlem will not exceed 40,000 or 42,000
votes.
This, he calculates, will be swamped
by the vote for Hill in this city and
Brooklyn.
The managers of the campaign are
looking to Brooklyn for a heavy Hill
vote.
John Boyd Thacher said that the re
ports from Brooklyn were more encour
aging to the Democrats, than those from
any other part of the state.
Matters were comparatively quiet at
the Park Avenue hotel. Hugh J, Grant
was one of the earliest callers. He went
tp state lieadcuarters to compare notes
with Major HincklSy bn the prospects
in this city.
The major told him he admired the
manner m which lie was working.
“Next to Senator Hill,"he Sala, “you
are doing the hardest work of ans can
didate in the campaign of whom I
know.”
Senator Hill is not expeoted in this
city before the election. Governor Flow
er will arrive in Jersey City tomorrow
evening.
He speaks in Brooklyn and Will prob
ably remain in this city over Sunday.
Speaker Crisp speaks in Brooklyn with
Governor Flower, but will stop at the
Park Avenue hotel.
Mr. Thacher has appointed Perry Bel
mont and Walter Stanton a committee
to receive Mr. Crisp on his arrival.
PERMITTED TO LAND.
Hxlled Americans Allowed to Return and
Clone Up Business.
Washington, Nov. 2.—The Nicara
guan government has acceded to the re
quest of the United States, and has per-'
mitted the two exiled Americans—Will
bank and Lampton—who were given
asylum on board the steamer Marble
head at Bluefield, to land at that port
to close up their financial affairs.
Nicaragua has also guaranteed to
grant them full amnesty upon their
agreeing to respect the authority of
Nicaragua over the Mosquito coast.
This action is extremely satisfactory
to the United States, as both of these
men were exceedingly active in the last
revolution; one being a member of the
revolutionary council and the other act
ing as a judge under Chief Clorance.
This action of Nicaragua practically
ends the Mosquito Incident and permits
the last remaining American cruiser,
the Marblehead, to leave Blueflelds.
VICTORIOUS JAPS.
Armies Marching on to Moukdtn, Which
They Expect to Take Next.
Yokohama, Nov. 2 —lt is announced
here that the investment of Port Arthur
by the Japanese forces of land and by
sea has been completed, and that the
forward movement of both the Japanese
armies in the direction of Moukden is
being rapidly pushed.
It is added that a portion of Field
Marshal Count Oyama’s force will at
tack Kinchow Asoya, which is occupied
by the Chinese troops.
In the meantime, Generai Nodzus’
advance column is approaching Fung-
Whang, a fortified town on the main
road between Wiju and Moukden, to
which place all the Chinese troops re
treated after leaving their positions
north of the Yalu river.
The Japanese expect to defeat the
Chinese at both places, and then unite
their columns before the walls of Mouk
den.
the train - Wreckers.
An A. R. U. Man Makes a Confession and
Implicates Others of His Order.
Woodland, Cal., Nov. 2. —In the tri
al for murder of S. G. Worden, one of
the five A. R. U. men under arrest for
having caused the railroad accident
which resulted in the death of Engineer
Clark and four United States soldiers
during the recent strike, C. J. Still
well, a private detective, testified to an
alleged confession, which was produced,
iu Worden’s handwriting, in which the
prisoner on trial confessed complicity iu
the crime, aud implicated the other
men arrested.
Worden, in his statement, says the
train wreckers were given the dyna
mite which they used to shatter the
bridge, by Compton, a member of the
mediation committee.
Wordon also makes the somewhat re
markable statement that he hired a car
riage and drove with the train wreckers
almost to the bridge, but he left them
and returned to Sacramento before they
began their work of destruction.
MURDERED HER BABE.
The Horrible Crime of n Demented Moth
er in Tennessee.
Jackson, Nov. 2.—News has just
reached this city of a most horrible
murder at Bolivar, Tenn., a few miles
south of Jackson. Mrs. George Sheets
gave her 7-year-old daughter a picture
book to amuse her, and while the child
turned the pages the mother stepped
out and came in with a footadze. The
first blow the child’s brains were scat
tered over the floor, and the crazy
woman showered 10 more upon the lit
tle innocent. After the murder she
coolly lay down upon a cot and went to
sleep.
When asked about the crime she con
fessed it, and said that she expected to
die soon and did not want to leave the
child alone in the world. The mother
is under arrest. There is no doubt of
her insanity.

MORTON’S COACHMAN
The Howard Deportation Case Has Be
come a Serious Question.
CARLISLE SAYS HE SHOULD GO.
He and Olney Disagree in a
Cabinet Meeting.
IT RAISES A PECULIAR QUESTION.
Carlisle Win. Superintendent of Immigra
tion Stump to His Side—Members
Will Not Talk.
Washington, JNov. 2.—The Howard
deportation case has become a more se
rious question than it at first was looked
upon by the heads of the government
here.
The decision of Judge Lacombe of
New York, which was that neither Mr.
Morton nor Howard had violated the
contract labor law and yet that undei
the act of congress it still was in the
discretion of the secretary of the treas
ury to enforce the opposite view of the
law has raised much discussion among
lawyers as to the constitutionality of a
law which admits of such a construc
tion.
One of the leading lawyers of the city
in a recent communication on the sub
ject said:-
“In substance the court held that be
cause the man was charged with violat
ing the act, and arrested on motion of
the treasury department, and the act
empowered that department to deport
person’s guilty of violating the act,
therefore that department must decide
whether he shall be deported, and there
by decide whether he is guilty after the
court has dec ded that he is not guilty.
If that be the proper and necessary con
struction of the language of the act,
then it is, to that extent, unconstitu
tional, and the prisoner should have
been discharged as being deprived of his
liberty under a void act. An unconsti
tutional act is as if it had never been en
acted. It is not a law.
“The reasoning of the court would
land us on a very startling proposition.
The act denounces doing a certain
thing, but makes doing that thing an
offense only when done by an alien.
Suppose the prisoner had admitted
doing the thing charged, and that the
employment charged was within the
act, but had shown that he was a «a
tive born citizen? He is still at the
mercy of an executive department with
out the protection of the writ.”
On last Tuesday the question of
Howard's deportation occupied much of
the time of toe cabinet meeting. And
it is stated that Attorney General Ol
ney and Secretary Carlisle occupied de
cidedly different positions on the ques
tion; Olney believed that there was no
case against Howard, and Carlisle in
sisting that he should be deported. Sec
retary Carlisle has been engaged, since
Tuesday’s meeting, in examining
further into the case, while Attorney
General Olney has been fortifying his
position during the time.
Members of the cabinet are very
guarded in what they say regarding tne
matter; all of them professing igno
rance of the details of the case, having
matters in their own departments to
engage their attention, and not being
directly interested in this one.
Secretary Carlisle talked the matter
over with Superintendent Stump re
cently, and the superintendent was in
clined to take the view that although
Howard did not come into the country
with Mr. Morton, he was constructively
a domestic servant within the meaning
of the law, as he had served Mr. Mor
ton in England, as Mr. Stump under
stood it, but when Mr. Carlisle pointed
out to Mr. Stump the evidence that Mr.
Morton hired the services of Howard
not from Howard himself, but from
Spencer, Mr. Stump fell into accord with
the secretary and agreed that Howard
could not be held to be entitled to re
main in the country.
CHICAGO’S MAYOR.
lie OVj *cts to Being Called Ugly Names
and Seeks Redress.
Chicago, Nov. 2. —John R. Tanner,
chairman of the Republican state com
mittee, was arrested on a warrant
sworn out by Mayor Hopkins charging
criminal libel. Mr. Tanner furnished
bond. The libel was printed in a circu
lar issued by Tanner’s committee, in
which the mayor was charged with
“levying blackmail ou the vices of the
city. ’ ’
The mayor said:
“I propose, to make this man prove
his charges against me or I will know
the reason why. I went before the
grand jury and cannot see how it can
avoid returning an indictment.”
Mr. Tanner says he will try to prove
his charges.
MARRIED A "NOBLEMAN.
