Newspaper Page Text4 THE MORNING NEWS. ) J Established 1860. Incorporated ISBB. i J. H. ESTILL. President. J TANNER TAKEN TO TASK. BB feels the criticisms on his EXTRAVAGANCE. An Interview With the President In Which He Tries to Explain His Con nection With the Claim Agents and the Promotion of Private Secretary Squires. Washington, June 35.— Corporal Tanner feels keenly the criticim made upon his ex travagant course as commissioner of pen sions. He went to the President to-day and made such explanations as were pos sible about his connection with the claim agents and the peculiar performances which resulted in the promotion of Private Secre tary Squires to an office in the far west. The President has been serionsly annoyed by Tanner’s indiscretion, and it was Tan ners knowledge of that fact, coupled with insinuations that he wouM do well to go and explain, which took him to the white house. ACTION OF THE PRESIDENT. The President listened to what he had to say, relieved his fears that he was about to be dismissed, and warned him to change his course. Tanner promised to mend his ways, and especially to review his action in some cases in which he had given especial consideration to the claim agents and then went back to his office and dictated an ‘“interview” to his private secretary for the press, announcing that he was on the best of terms with the Presi dent, Secretary Noble and Assistant Secre tary Bussey; that he was not to be moved hv the attacks of democratic newspapers, which, he said, he was informed were de termined upon at the recent meeting of the democratic national committee. READY TO BE INVESTIGATED. He also said that he was ready to be in vestigated, and that his investigation would result in his triumphal acquittal. But he said that when the administration of his immediate predecessor was investigated startling disclosures would be made. The President’s paternal lecture does not seem to have done him much good. Tanner is banking on his connection with the Grand Army of the Republic to keep him where he is. TWENTY-SEVEN POSTMASTERS. Joseph H. Manley Given the Office at Blaine's Home.

COTTON 10 NEW ORLEANS THE COMPLAINT OF DISCRIMINA TION IN RATEA The Interstate Commerce Commis sion Begins Its Hearing Into the Charges Formulated by tho New Orleans Cotton Exchange—The Hear ing Not Yet Closed. Washington, June 25.—The interstate commerce commission to day took up for hearing separately several complaints of very groat interest t > producers, shippers and compressors of cotton, brought by the New Orleans Cotton Exchange against a number of railroad carriers. They are as follows: The New Orleans Cotton Exchange vs. the Illinois Central Railroad Company; vs. the L uisville. New Orleans and Texas Rail road Company, and vs. the Cincinnati, New Orleans and Texas Pacific, New Orleans and Northeastern Company, and others. The commission took up the first com plaint against the Illinois Centra). The complaint in this case is that the company is habitually making unjust and unreason able charges for hauling cotton from towns and stations along its line in the cotton producing country to New Orleans, aud especially from 'Parsons and Aberdeen, Miss., and intervening stations to JNe Or leans; that tie railroad company with its connections gives to New York and Ne w England points better rates than to points soutii; that the relative rales to New Or leans rire nearly five times as much as to the north and east, and that the tendency of these rates is to drive the cotton trade from New Orleans. ANSWER OF THE ROAD. The answer of the Illinois Central denies that it has been habitually making unjust and unreasonable charges for hauling cot ton; denies having received from persons shipping cotton north and east from the cotton producing country less compensation in the aggregate than it received from other persons shipping cotton from Parsons, Aberdeen and intervening stations to New Orleans under like con ditions, and it asserts that 'f le'S compensa tion in the aggregate had been received, as alleged, tho services were different and not rendered under similar circum stances and conditions; that by no act of the respondent has it given unreasonable preference or advantage to Lowell, Boston, New York, or other eastern cities as charged, to the undue or unreasonable prejudice of New Orleans and tnat locality. The respondent also says it believes that in the matter of rail transportation charges from the point of production, New Orleans enjoys the full benefit due to her advan tageous position in reference to the cotton trade. WITNESSES EXAMINED. Several witnessos engaged in the cotton business were examined at length concern the manner of doing business, the methods of shipping cotton, and various other mat ters of technical interest. A large mass of statistical matter was also submitted, and at the conclusion of the examination the commission adjourned until tomorrow morning when some further inquiry that may be suggested by an examination of the statistical data will probably be had, and the question be argued by the attorneys for the respective parties. > STRUCK A COW. One Man Killed and Several Injured In Arkansas. Little Rook, Ark., June 25.—A special to the Arkansas Gazette from Pine Bluff, Ark., says: “The north bound passenger train on the St. Louis, Arkansas aud Texas railroad struck a cow just at the trestle bridge across Crooked Bayou. The engine was thrown from the track, and went thundering across the ties and shattered the bridge to pieces. The express car, baggage car and mail car and two passenger coaches went into the bayou twenty-eight feet below. The sleep ing car “Oneida” and the engine remained on the track. 8. C.

Yale’s Mod, Owing to Bad Luck, Lose to Pennsylvania. New London, Conn., June 25.—The two mile race between Yale and the University of Pennsylvania freshmen crews was rowed this evening over the Thames river c jurso, and was won by Pennsylvania by about three-quarters of a boat length. The offi cial time is: Pennsylvania, 10:08%; Yale, 10:11%. The race, though very close from start to finish, was utterly devoid of excitement or enthusiasm. Though Penn sylvania won the race they are given but little credit, Yale getting by far the larger share. At one and a half miles Yale looked a -ure winner, but when near the tinish No. 3 unshipped his seat and caught a crab. He recovered himself quickly, however, hut for the last half mile he was little more than a passenger. The Quaker City raeu snorted at that point, and by most tremen dous exertions poked the bow of their boat ahead of Yale just before the line was reached. AN EXPRESS OFFICE RAIDED. A Chief of Police Seizes a Wagon Load of Beer. Leavenworth, Kan., June 25.—Chief of Police Robinson entered the office of the American Express Company yesterday afternoon aDd with two policemen forcibly removed a wagon load ot beer to the side walk, where it was reloaded and hauled to the police station.

Paris, June 25.— 1n the Chamber of Deputies this eveuing M. la Guerre asked leave to interpellate the government in re gard to violation of parliamentary immu nity. which the authorities of Angouleme had committed in causing the arrest and detention of M. Laissant and himself. Prime Minister Tirard, iu response, de clared that the government would leave ttie matter for the Cuciuber to divide.

M. la Guerre insisted upon immediate discussion. M. de Mahy urged that the matter be postponed uutil the army bill was dis posed of. M. Audrieux taunted the moderates with beiufc much more ministerial thau the min isters themselves. M. liadier de Montjau denounced the in terpolation of M. la Guerre as an attempt to . bAruct the passage of tho budget. Ho warned tho republicans to take earo lest they fall into a pit their en emies had prepared for them. M.Montjau’s remarks were greeted with ap plause by the left, which incensed M. la Jeuno, and l e shouted derisively ““Can liilo.” A scoue of disorder ensued. VVheu order was restored, M. la Jeune apologized for his exclamation, but the president cen sured him aud excluded him from the cha iiber. A motion to postpono interjiellation was then carried by a vote of 302 to 231. The disorder caused by M. la Jeune’s iu sultiug exclamation lasted fully ten min utes. There was a general scuffle, tho com batants using their fists freely uml tearing ouo another’s hair, until separated by the ushers. Mr. Andrieux was seen to produce a revolver aud the whole house joined in the uproar. FRANOI3 JOSEPH’S SPEECH. Russia Expresses the Hope That Peace May be Maintained. St. Petersburg, June 25.—The Journal de St. Petersburg makes no comment upon the speech of the Emperor of Austria to the delegations, but in an edit irial article, which occupies a prominent position In the paper, it remarks that Russia’i foreign re lations are unchanged, and expresses the hope that peace may be maintained. FAVORABLY IMPRESSES SH.RVIA. Belgrade, June 25. —The speech of Em peror Francis Joseph has made a favorable impression in Servia. kalnoky hopeful. V ienna, June 25. —1n the delegations to day Count Kalnoky made a long speech on the political situation. He expressed the belief that the peace of Europe was not at present endangered, although ,he admitted that the situation was unsettled, aud might easily change. Ho denied that Roumauia was hostile. If Bratano waa by no means an Austrophile, Catargi was Just as little a Uus sophile. Tho speaker did not fear that Ser via would eudeavor to realize visions; she was not powerful enough te assume an aggress ive attitude. But Austria was bound to guard against subversive measures inHe. via. The discontent of a few nations at the bal ance of power in Europe caused a feeling of insecuri.y; but in view of the immense di mensions that wars now assumed, all sovereigns and all govern ments were firmly resolved to main tain peace. In no case would Austria be responsible in the event of the peace being threatened. The allies would do everything possible to maintain peace. The relations of the Austrian government with Germany and Italy were of a cordial aud permanent character. Austria was on a friendly footing with all the states of Europe, including Russia. SWITZERLAND’S NEUTRALITY. The North German Gazette Summar izes Its History. Berlin, Juue 25—The NorthQerman Gazette, in an article summarizing the his tory of the development of Switzerland's neutrality since the Vienna congress, says: “Switzerland has altered her international constitution and infringed the stipulations of congress. Prussia, Austria and France in iB4B served notice upon Switzerland that they would not fulfill the obligations they had taken upon themselves toward her unless she preserved Intact the condi tions upon which her neutrality was based. But further than this the rights of Switzerland are not established merelv by the maintenance of neutrality, nor is this principle exclusively dominant in defining the obligations of Switzerland to other powers. The accepted doctrines of inter national law provide that no state shall tolerate within its boundaries any acts or efforts that are injurious to other states. This principle applies with especial force in the case of a country whose neutrality, inviolability and integrity are guaranteed by other powers. If a state in this position tolerates, or in any way promotes such injurious acts it infringes a privilege which has been conceded to it by the guar anteeing powers. The breach of privilege is more flagrant when a state becomes a party to efforts against the safety of a neighboring state or exercises its authority to prevent a neighbor from warding off hostile intrigues.” A PUBLIC PROSECUTOR. Berne, June 25. — Asa remit of the com plaints made by foreign powers against the action of the socialists and others in Switz erland, the government has appointed a permanent public prosecutor in order to strengthen the control of the police over the movements of refugees.

Paris, June 25.—Prince Victor Napoleon has written a letter indorsing the senti ments expressed in the manifesto of the members of the right in the cham ber of deputies, in which tho action of the republican majority is con demned and an appeal made to the people to unite in the name of France and liberty against a parliamentary feudality. He adds that a government based upon the sovereignty of the people can at once insure greatness and prosperity to the nation. The gove nment is of the opinion that the sentences imposed at Angoulemo upon M. de Roulede and M. la Guerre were not se vere enough, anl has lodged an appeal to have the judgment of the court set aside and the cases retried. Boulaugist, Impe rialist and monarchist journals are jubi lant over the result of the trial, and char acterize It as another blow at the govern ment. To Ignore the Pope. London, June 26, 3 a. m.— The Chronicle ’* Rome correspondent says: “Emperor Will iam will pass through Rome and Naples en route to Athens. He will not visit the pipe. The Vatican authorities have in structed the bishop of Barcelona to prepare an asylum in Bpainin tne event of the pope deciding to Quit Rome.” DAWSON’S MAID HEARD. A SENSATIONAL SCENE IN THE GREAT TRIAL. The Voluptuous Appearance and Frenohy Manners of the Woman in the Case—She Tells the Story of McDow's Persistent Pursuit and His Endeavors to Induce Her to Elope With Him—Only Two Kisses The Racy Novel "Twixt Love and Law.” Charleston - , S. C., June 25. —The sensa tional denouement in the MoDow murder trial to-day was the appearaneo of the Swiss maid—the moving cause of the tragedy. She was on the stand for two hours, and was subjected to most searching cross examination. It was noon when she took the stand. Immediately there was a crush forward of the dense crowd in the court room so that the judge, lawyers, wit ness sand reporters had scarcely room to move. Several attempts wore made to move the solid wall of humanity back, but without avail. Her name is Marion Dur bevon. She is a pretty girl of exquisite form and strikingly beautiful features; dark eyes and hair; an olive complexion, with the faintest blush of roses on the cheeks; large, lustrous eyes, which boldly looked Into the face of the examining coun sel. and has a most captivating manner of making little moves aud of shrugging her plump shoulders when answering questions. A BECOMING COSTUME. Attired in a close-fitting, clinging oos tu ne if black cloth, with a tight-fitting black jersey, which outlined a bust tit for a Venus, with a black chip bonnet, trimmed with jel-black ribbon, this maid sat on the witness box for two hours. The state’s attorney made repeated efforts to have an interpreter, but the defense ob jected, and the court sustained the ob jection. Her story was drawn out by re peated questions, the answers being always frank, and delivered in the most piquant aud delightful of pigeo i English. This is her statement, condensed: "I live in Charleston wiz tho Dawson family for three years; born in Geneva, and came to Amerique wiz Moos Dawson; I haf father; 'eel in Genova wiz my two brothers; one brother ’ees in London.” She met MoDow on Feb. 1 last in the street. She knew him, but not to speak to. He asked her to run away with him to France the first time. “What did you tell him!" “I say no, 1 would not lef Moes Dawson for auysiug in ze world." It seems that the acquaintance or flirta tiou continued from Feb. I, 1889, to tho day of the murder. SECRET MEETINGS AT CAPT. DAWSON’S. During this time the girl admitted that she had frequently mot McDow on the street and at Capt. Dawson’s house. He gave her flowers and a gold watch and ouain, and wrote poetry to her. Tho burden of his talk with her was to run away with him. She knew he was married and a father, but he always said that he would get a divorce from his wife; that he had only married her for her money. His wife was a German woman, and he found it im possible to livo with her any longer. She saw him at Gapt. Dawson’s house, where the two remained iu the library for two hours, and at another time when they met in tao cook’s house on Capt. Dawson’s premises. This was while Mrs. Dawson was away. On the morning of the murder she met McDow iu a street car by appointment. They rode up to tie outskirts of the city and walked around for some time. Finally they got in Nunan street, where there was a small house occupied by a colored woman. McDow led her into the yard and asked the old woman to let him have the usu of a roo n, which was refused; whereupon they went out. WHY SHE ENTERED THE YARD. When asked on .the cross-examination why she entered the yard, she tried to ex plain that McDow told her there was a de tective after them and he desired to avoid him. On returning McDow asked her to see him that night, but she refused. She finally consented to see him In Capt. Daw son’s garden. She told him then that be had ruined her reputation as her duty was to Capt. Dawson’s family and not to be running around in the streets with him —a married man and a father. McDow followed her almost every day when she was coming from school with the children. "It was always the same thing; he wanted me to leave Charleston with him and go away.” She gave him some gaud advice. She told him he must have patience. He was not the only man who was not happy with his wife. The witness was cross-examined by Judge Magratb, one of the oldest lawyers in the state, and it was during this cross-exami uutiou that the story became exciting. THE FIRST MEETING. She remembered the first day of Feb ruary, when she met McDow first, because gho had written it down in her diary. “What did you write?” “I wrote: ‘I will retnombor this day.’” “What caused you to remember it?” “I remember it because I think it was a memorable day when a married man asked a poor girl to run away with him and leave her home.” [Sensation.] “What did you think of his offer?” “I think it was very bad. If ho get divorce from hes wife, den dat not so bad.” “If vou considered his proposal wrong, why did you allow him to repeat it?" “I don’t know. It was wrong, but I can’t tell. Kach day I ask him by de name of God to lef me alone, but he will not do it." It was pitiful to see this girl, when pushed by a question she vaguely understood, look around Tor help, aud, when asked a question that tended to compromise her, answer, “I don’t know;” “I can’t tell.” She said she did not know what love was, and she did not love McDow. She believed be thought ho lovsd h?r. “TWIXT LOVE AND LAW.” The lawyer produced a copy of Jessie Anness Miller’s sensational novel “Twixt Love and Law,” and she admitted that she had lent it to him. She said she knew what was in the book, but could not be made to admit that the parties in the novel were in the same relat on as she and McDow. In the book, she said, the single woman is in love with a married man, but It was not a case for me, because the single woman there she loved the married man. Tuere was an explosion in the court house when the venerable c >unsel elicited from her that McDow bad kissed her twice during their baton. “Did be ever kiss you?’ asked the aged lawyer. “Yee,” with a move ana a shrug. “How many times?” “Two times, aud two times too much.” “Only twice?” “Yes,” very pointedly. “Yon want some more, eh r The counsel declined, but persistently made her describe the kissing. It was the occasion of the meeting in the library. She admitted that McDow had bis arms around her, but there was no intimation of any thing further than the kiss. “MARIE, THE MOUNTAIN GIRL." The defendant produced a carte dnvisite, which she acknowledged giving him, and oa which was written “Marie, the Mountain Girl." Nothing could be got out of the wituess as to McDow’s intention in trying to take her into the house uptown on the day of the murder. Her answers were per fectly frank and apparently equally inno cent. Bhe sod in answer to the question: “I don’t believe ho knows hims If. A-ked if she thought McDow loved her, she answered: “I thought so, but not in the right wav—not iu an h nest way.” When the wit ess was finally dismissed it was ditHcult to say what impression she had made. It was altogether one of the most remarkable examinations ever held in a court room. The onlv other evidence taken’during the day was that of John Devoroux, and H. Oliver, who measured the footprints in the closet, and W. Wigg, who oorroborated the story of the finding of theb >dy. The trial will probably last two or three days longer The case for tho defense will be opened to-morrow, and, perhaps, McDow himself will take the stand. The arguments will probably not begin before Friday. BLOWING UP THE DEBRIS. 81x Bodies Recovered During Yester day’s Work at Johnstown. Johnstown, June 25.— Seven bodies wore recovered to-day. Tho work of blast ing continued Incessantly all day, but on account of a heavy rain work iu the rub bish was suspended. Col. Mill, Col. Spangler and Geu. Hastings to-day attended a meeting of the Johnstown citizen’s com mittee for tho guriHise of consulting with the citizens in regard to the closing up of work in the region. Geu. Hastings stated that state w irk had so far progressed that he estimated that the cleaning up of the debris, etc., in Couemaugb above the stone bridge, would be completed by the end of the week, and that the work of cleaning up the streets aud thoroughfares at Johnstown and neighboring boroughs with the present force would probably lie completed within the next ten days. The work of cleaning out the cellars under such houses as had boon condemned by the board of health as a san itary precaution woul 1 also bo completed within tho same period, and that at the end of that time thero would rumaia of necessity a very considerable amount of work to be done, but it would bo mostly on private property.

M. —It is now generally conceded by old ea captains of Martha’s Vineyard and Nantuoket that the wreckage washed ashore during the pad week without doubt comes from the British steamer Victoria, now duo at Baltimore from Pernambuco, but the wreckage supposed to be from the Haytien Republic still remains a mystery.

Several carcasses of lorge, white-horned steers have boon wash.-d ashore on tbe ocean side of Nantucket, and three incandescent electric lights of au English pattern, belonging to a steamer were found to-day. No other wreckage has been waihea ashore except what has been reported. A thorough search along the south shore of Martha’s vineyard to-day revealed nothing new.
