HILL’S SPEECH.
The opening sentences of Senator
Hill's speech clearly Indicated the ag
gressive tone In regard to the admin
istration which pervaded the whole
speech. He said:
The political revolution which com
menced In 1590 and culminated In 1593
was an emphatic expression of the pop
ular will in behalf of governmemol pol
icies. Measures and not men were
largely the issues involved in the move
ment.*'
lie summarized thoze measures In op
position to the odious fclti-.tl election
laws, discontinuance of stiver bullion
purchase Instead of colnago contemplat
ed by the constitution, bolter and nore
economical administration of public af
faire. and a condemnation of that abuse
rhe n.cv»r of the government which
knowm ns the policy of protection for
protection'll sake alone, and a declara
tion In favor of n tariff ftir revenue.
TUe enforcement of these iKvllclea de
volved upon the party In power, it Is
not denied that some mistakes have oc
curred. Our foreign policy, especially
that relating to Hawaii, it must be ad
mitted. boa not met the expectations of
the people. A sense of humiliation pre
vailed when the protect of tho restora
tion of a deposed monarch was unfolded
but the administration and gratifica
tion ensued when Its abandonment or
failure was reluctantly announced. In'
icuCed iargcly fey an aroused r ,,Mtr ’
sentiment. This blunder Mr. Hill con
sidered was ths natural consequence
of placing the department of state In
charge of a Republican statesman, dis
tinguished and estimable though he
might be. whose public services bad
always been identified In opposition to
the Democratic party and whose politi
cal convictions upon the disputed pub
lic questions ot the day. If changed at
all. are carefully concealed.
Mr. Hill expressed regret that the
president should not have been able
to find In his own party some safo nr.d
honored statesman In whom he and
hla party could have placed confidence:
one of Democratic Instincts and train
ing, whose management of foreign nf-
falrs would have avoided the promul
gation of that un-American principle,
a departure from Democratic prece
dents, which was sought to be forced
upon an unwilling neople. Coming to
the question or tariff reform he drew
a contrast between 1847 and 1IM, and
said an extreme reduction of tariff du
ties at > time when the trearary wai
swollen with a surplus of 1100.040. when
all our Industries were.In motion, as
sumed a different aspect when com
pared now with a large and growing
treasury deficit, with our Industries
paralyzed, our manufactories closed or
workingmen Idle, and following upon
the heels of one of the most disastrous
financial panics In our history. What
was safe and prudent and wise then
It would be criminal folly tp attempt
now. Then he proceeded to assail tho
president's dllatoriness of action In
this matter. He said: -
"A month prior to his Inauguration
ths president was forewarned bt the
approaching monetary panic. He con
vened congress six months Utter, when
the panic was subsiding, which should
have been averted, it Is feared that
this congress does not appreciate the
awful devastation which ths financial
cyclone of last summer has inflicted
upon the business Intreats of our
country. It has plaVsd havoc with our
proepertty. private and puhtic; It has

division and defeate. Let them remem

MILWAUKEE THEATRE BURNED.
Several Lives Lpst and Firemen In
jured by a Root Falling.
Milwaukee. April 9.—The Davidson
Theatre, ths finest playhouse In Mil
waukee and one of the handsomest
ard costliest theatres In the country,
was destroyed this morning by fire.
The total money loss occasioned by the
fire ta about 1229.000. as follows: The

proprietors of_ tho Lilliputians. $46,000;
Joseph Clnuder. orchestra leader,
13.000. The hotel proper ta not much,
if any. damaged.
Shortly altar 7 o'clock, when tho
fire was seemingly under control, the
theatre roof fell In. carrying with It n
score or more of firemen. Some were
extricated with slight injuries, others
more seriously hurt, and the following
are missing or known to have been
burned to death: ,
George Jansen, company No. 1; As
sistant Chief August Jan*en; Archie
Campbell, dreboat cataract; Thomas
Morgan of No. 1, Frank UcOuirk.
James Freeman of No. 4. O'Neill nnd

The larj building was used aa a
theatre on the ground floor, and the
rear whole portion above the ground
floor front was utilized by the hotel,
with an annex extending to the north,
which was not damaged by tho ttatnes.
The hotel portion was well filled with
guests, hut they were warned In time
to escape unhurt, though a panic pre

will likely bring more than twice
tierstanding by both parties.
MaJ. Butterworth and Judgo Wilson
each made an appeal to the court not
to set a limit ot time on tho argument,
and Judge Bradley granted the re
quest with the understanding that
'counsel was not to take up too much
time.
Calderon Carllsta then began th*
opening argument for the plaintiff
Without any attempt at oratory he
told the Jury- that In hta opening
*telement a month ago yesterday ha
had been exceedingly temperate, but
he could now aay that all hta itata-
ments. nnd more than these, hod been
proved. He agreed with MaJ. Butter-
worth that there were three parties to
the suit—the plsintiff. the defendant
and the community—and h* pointed
out the full accounts In the newspapers
of the progreas of the trial an evidence
that th* community was deeply Inter
ested. He o»ked the Jury to oonplder
lu duty to the community, and prom
ised to point out later on what the
community had a right to expect. Be
fore going Into th* legal aspects of the
case. Mr. Carlisle reminded th# Jury
of the distinguished career of the de
fendant and the advantages at hta
command In preparing hi* defense.
Mr. Carlisle said that the defendant
had known the father of th# plaintiff,
who. though an humble saddler, was
yet a prominent Mason and Odd Fel
low. He sketched briefly the Ilfs of the
plaintiff up to th# filing of the suit, a
period ranging from 1876 to ItOS, and
Incidental to this he paid hta compli
ments to Mrs. Miller—Mis* Mollle
Shlnglebauer. It had been shown by
reputable witness** on the stand, said
Mr. Carlisle, that during th# period
covered by Mollle BJiiuglebauer
(1677-78) the plaintiff waa In Pittsburg,
Pa., and not In or near Frankfort. Ky.,
as the Shlnglebauer woman testified.
As to Brant and Kaufman, who iwore
they knew the plaintiff aa an Inmate
of Lena ftngleton's disreputable house
In Lexington. Ky.. Mr. Carlisle said he
hnd shown that th# plaintiff had not
sucut a sing!* nlsh* 'n Lexington dur
ing the period fixed hy"there twocon-
stltuents of a congretslonal district,
at Mr. Carlisle relied them, and,
further than that. It bad been shown
that the house fixed on by one of these
men. "In the exuberance of his *n’»«**
nation." aa the place where Madeline
Pollard lived with Lena Singleton was
not built until lftM.
I ask. you, gentlemen, Mr. Car
lisle said, "not to believe the sttwy of
these characters, as John Brant and
lilram Kaufman.** ..
When he took up the attack on the
plaintiff's character contained In the
testimony of Mr BanklnWseU. who
said he broke Ms engagement wttn
Miss Pollard because “h* did not like
the way she allowed him to
he.,," he said: “I think every here

Then, to more fullv show th# <
acta r of Rosell. reference was made to
th* tact'that fcetoid been forbidden to
vlrit the college.
"Now." eald Mr. Carlisle, "we get to
lSSi. acl from that time forth there Is
not an attempt to attack the character
of Che plr'ntlff exc-r’. ao far ss re
defendant himself. I tm m»
slurs he hi* thrown out

rnlnjr the chll-
College, but they apeke ro well nnd so Itcnflfd to he ong.vged. Mr. Carlisle re-
highly of the plaintiff that tho plain- *" "* “ *“■ * ‘ * *“*
tiff’s counsel had rend the depositions
ns part of the evidence.
Mr. Carlisle 'handed the Jury »ev-
eral tintypes of the plaintiff taken Just
before she met the defendant, where
Miss Pollard ta represented In short
dresses.
“Look at those pictures,” he said
with a ring In hla voice, "nnd see If she
appears to he the wmi" **»»-<«—»
on whom the defendant wishes to placo
more than half the burden of their in
timacy. look at that picture and then
look at the defendant—look at the de
fendant and remember what little dif
ference there was In his appearance
then front now."
Then Mr. Carlisle told of the meet
ing between the plaintiff and defend
ant nn the train In 1884. He passed
over this quickly, saying both parties
said It was a mere trlval conversa
tion, the only point of diffcrenco be
ing that she said he accosted her, and
he said she accosted him.
"And now. before we go any fur
ther." said Mr. Carlisle, "let us see
what manner of man this waa who had
to go through the train to get hi* over
coat and who found a schoolgirl In hta
path.”
The history of the Kentucky orator
was handled In uncomplimentary lan
guage. Carllsla Mid Breckinridge had
a classical education and every ad
vantage, social and mental; how he
hnd rone through the war and how h*
had married twice.
And on this stand.” he aald, “thla
defendant has paid a tribute In his
voice hhu In Ms manner to his de
ceased wife and ths mother of his
children. He confesses here on the
stand that no roan had less excuse for
what he had dons than he had; that no
words could magnify the advantages
which he had. no words could paint
the depth Into which he fell In thl*
instance," Mr. Carlisle said with feel
ing. “and this ta tha manner of man
who met this school girl on that
train."
The contract with Rode* was taken
up and fully reviewed as a preface to
the call of Col. Breckinridge at Wes
leyan College, when Mlaa Pollard want
ed hla advice and assistance concern*
lng the threat of Rode* that he would
compel her by law to marry him or
pay back the money he bad paid for
her education. 1
Mr. Carlisle, In defending the plain
tiff for writing to Breckinridge after
she had met him but once, said that
the defendant had told her that he
knew her father, and she hod said that
she knew him (Breckinridge) by repu
tation. This brought up the subject
' of the letter produced by Col. Breckin
ridge, in which Ml*s Pollard Is repre
sented as saying that she wanted Col.
Breckinridge to call on her nt the col
lege. and Mr. Carlisle quoted Miss Pol
lard's statement that the letter was
forgery, when recess was ordered.
Resuming after recess. Mr. Carlisle
said that the knowledge of tho ex
pert witnesses called by the defense to
testify about the letter was not an ex
act science. "We did not bring oxrort
witnesses," he said, "for you gentle
men ar* our experts,” handing the Jury
a fac simile copy of the marriage cer
tificate ot Col. Breckinridge and Ura.
Wins nnd thorn to look at this
copy which looked so much like tho
original and see how easy It was to
produce.
"But I do not Intend to take up your
time with this matter. Just compare
the letters I handed you of July 20 and
note the points of difference between
It and these other tatters which Mlzs
Pollard admits rhe wrote, and your
opinion will be aa good as a barrel ot
expert testimony.”
Mr. Carlisle read the letter,of July
3, In which the writer tails Col. Brack-
inridge that whawshe has to say to
him ta worse than a divorce case, and
that she like ehls face and thinks that
sb* will Uk* him. He said there was
lltU* difference In that letter and what
th* ptainUff had stated, but the plsln-
Uff bad examined tha , letter and pro
nounced It n forgery, nnd out ot nil
th* many letters that had beta writ
ten to th* dtfsndant by tbs plaintiff
thla and n Ultle not* written In 1»57
were nil that he could produce.
Speaking of th* celebrated carriage
ride, Mr. Carllsta Mid the fact that
on that hot August evening tho de
fendant brought a closed carriage to
take the plaintiff to a concert hall de
manded explanation, but the defendant
bad not uftempted to explain It.. U*
bad merely contented hlmielC with
saying tbat he had picked out the car
riage without looking nt what sort of
a carriage It was. Reviewing the
events ot that night from the state
ment from tbo plaintiff and the de
fendant and what happened next day,
Mr. Carlisle said:
“And from that time unUl May, 1392.
ah* obeyed hta every breath and wan
faithful to him In every way. •
Finally, reaching the Umn of the al
leged promise of marriage. Mr. Carlisle
laid great stress on th* tesUmony of
Mrs. Blackburn, which, he said, the
defendant refused to deny. He bad
left himself two modes of escape nnd
either one would bring him fac* to
fnc* with a dilemma, on one horn of
which he roust Impale hlncelf.
He referred to the cross-examina
tion ot two days and n half to which
Miss Pollard bad been subjected, and
■mid it wss one of the most difficult
teats to which the human mind could
be put. There were ouly two things
that would enable a person to stand
the last of such a protracted cross-
examination. One was a trained mind,
a wonderful ability to think, a knowl
edge of lawyer* nnd their way*, in
fact, all that was possessed by a clever
lawyer; the other was the truth. Hta
client had stood that test without any
qualifications of th* first Instance, nnd
the tact that she had not been made
to change her direct statements on any
subject showed that she must bar#
stood the test through the second qual
ification.
Concerning the clslm of th? plsintiff
that she had given birth to a child nt
M. Joseph’s Foundling Asylum at Nor
wood. near Ctnctnnsu. Mr. C*rii*>#
quoted the testimony cf Dr. Street,
who atUI that »he had sent "Mrs. Ilerg-
«)ai" to St Josephs and b.:s vblicd
her’there, ur.d of Dr. Belle Buchanan,
who recognized Ml«s rollard as "Lou
isa Wtocn.” ini Dr. Street arv.d ton
"IsrjlAi Wilson” and "Mr*. Btrgwynn”
were the same.
"Titer* wss nothing In the testimo
ny," he said, “to show that anybody
but this defendant sms th* father of
tbat child—and be was Be father.”
