jritOM A STAFF COBBESFOXDIXT.
"Washington, April 4. Contrary to the
expectation of yesterday. Secretary Blaine
dd not present the latest essay or Minister
liudini to the public to-day, and it is given
out that lie is preparins a carelul answ.T
aud that both letters will be published alter
that of Mr. BUiue is in the hands of the
Italian Prime Minister. It is hinted that
Mr. l'.laine will take occasion, on account of
certain passages in the letter of Kudini, to
o into a much more elaborate discussion ot
tbe New Orleans case than before, and dwell
avo upon the power of treaties in general
for the protection of citizens oi foreign
countries residing in America.
This, it is asserted, is not on account of
formal inquiry by any representative of a
foreign Government, for no such inquiry
has been made, but because of tbe queries
and criticisms of the foreign press, which
way be accepted as expressing the bett in
telligence foreigners have upon this ques
tion, and there seems also to be a doubt in
the minds of mauy native Americans
whether treaties cau be made to protect for-
eieuers in such cases as the one in Xew
Orleans, on account of the State having
jurisdiction of its owe courts and the sole
power to administer its own laws.
They Can lie Protected.
The best authorities here, so far as they
have been induced to discuss this question,
seem to be well agreed that treaties are as
powerful to protect foreigners under our
svstem of government as they are to protect
American citizens in loreign countriesuoder
their system of government. All treaties
guarantee to subjects of foreign countries in
Ameica nierelv the same protection they
give to American cituens.
It is held by international lawyers here
t'lut the slain Italians had exactly the sami
protection American citizens would have
i eld under the same circumstances, as in
deed a portion of them were American citi
zens. An official of the State Department
declared to-day that he did not see how any
foreign representative conld hold that the
lynched men were not treated just as they
would have been had they been of our own
flesh and blood. Tiiere was not a shadow
of evidence to show that they had been as
saulted because they were of foreign birth,
or because any one of them was a subject of
a foreign power.
Not Parallel Cases.
"Xow, in the case of the Chinese who
were massacred," said the official, "there
was a direct violation of the tieaty. They
were assaulted and maimed and killed solely
because they were Chinese, and indemnity
was therelore demanded and promptly paid.
No such question enters into the New Or
leans affair. Had native Americans as
sassinated Chief Hennessey to avenge his
arrest of members ot a secret and desperate
organization to which they belonged, and
hud they been tried and acquitted on ac
count ot a bribed or intimidated jury, they
would have been lynched the same as the
Italians.
"In that case would the State Department,
upon the demand of any power or individ
ual, have demanded an investigation and
asked the Governor of the State in which
tne lynching occurred that everything pos
sible should be done to bring the lynchers to
justice? Then, in interfering in this case,
does it not look as though the Government
was more concerned tor the welfare of for
eigners than for American citizens? I see
some surprise expressed in the newspapers
that while treatiei have been made no law
has ever been enacted providing a penalty
tor the violation of a treaty, and it is pro
pped to enact such a penal law and give the
United States the power in a case like that
at New Orleans to step in and take the pun
ishment of offenders out of the hands of the
local authorities
Would Do No Good.
"In the first place, this would be giving
foreigners a great advantaee oyer American
citizens, and in the second place it would
aviil nothing, for at best the question of
punishment would have to lie decided bv
the courts and largely by public sentiment.
"Suppose the New Oi leans Mafia bad
been shot to death by a 'Washington mob in
tin court yard of the jail of the District oi
(nlumbia a mob led by prominent and,
tju-cpt when engaged at lynching,
eminently respectable and law-abiding
citizens, buppose the Italian Minister,
without waiting to see what should
be done, should sail in with rash and unin
telngent demands for punishment of the
mob and indemnity for the scounJrcls
lynched. What then would Mr. ltlainc
have replied? Why, simnly that the ques
tion of indemnity would be duly considered,
but that the question of punishment lay
with tne courts of the District. The Mar
Mial of the District would be directed to ar
ret the oflenders. He would have to arrest
all ol them. He could not make fish of one
and fowl of another.
Intricaclo or tlio Lair.
"The tliou-ands of lynchers would have to
bo indicted by the grand jury, a petit jury
would have to be found, composed oi 12
intelligent men, with no opinion on the
subject of the guilt or innocence of the men,
niiu then, in its order, subject to intermin
able postponements, tne trial would be had
and a conviction accomplished possibly.
"Now. that is just what is being done in
the New Orleans case. The legal agents of
the Government are investigating the mat
ter, with a view to a settlement ot the ques
tion of indemnity, and the legal authorities
ot New Orleans are proceeding, as they say,
t i tiring the lynchers to book. Is "it not
.1 -: a probable that the State authorities
. II punish the lynchers as that Gnvern
ii" nt .luthorities in the District would pun-
- tticm if the aff ir had occurred here?
'J ncn where does the question of State
rights or the sugcested conflict of the State
with tne National authorities, about which
we have heard so much, come ill or intei
Jere nith justice or abet the violation of
treaties in any way?
Carrj in; the Caso to Koine.
"Suppose tight Americans, the toughest
of -the tough, members of a secret, o th
bound, murderous society, sworn to murder
when so ordered, avenging any slight, real
or lancied, put upon any nieniber of their
society, the leaders brigands of the highway
and sneaking assassins of the byways, were
resident in Itonie and should assassinate in
the most horrible manner the Minister of
Police or one of his trusted agents. Sup
pose them arrested anil that on their trial
tney had desperate friends, who succeeded
in bribing or intimidating the jury to bring
in a verdict of acquittal.
-Suppose on this the outraged populace,
to tin- number of 5,000 or 10.000, headed by
C iunts and Princes and other ancient and
honorable Koman noblemen in and out of
the peanut and orange-cart business should
batter down the prison gates and shoot the
eight American assassins to death. We
would probably say it was a good riddance,
hut we hare political parti eshere as they have
in Italy, and possibly the party out of power
might nag the party in power to send a
sharp note to the Italian Minister of State,
demanding punishment and indemnity.
Wonld Answer Like Blaine.
"What would that Unman Minister say?
Why, that his Government would consider
the question ol indemnity, but that the trial
and punishment of the lynchers would de
pend on the operation of the courts of the
city of Eome. And do you believe that any
mother's son of all those noble Boman
lynchers would be punished? You may set
this down, that if a treaty is violated by in
jury to property or person of a good for
eigner, prompt reparation will be made Dy
either local or national authorities, and by
the one as speedily as by the other.
"If it be violated by assault on the person
or property of a foreign thief or desperado,
it will be difficult to bring a treaty to bear
on his case, simply because he is and should
be without the pale of the law. But here
again I want to assert my conviction that
the protection of a treaty is operative only
where the person is assaulted or in danger
of assault because he is a citizen of the
country with, which the treaty is made, or
because he is"a foreigncrtand for that reason
not entitled to the same consideration as a
citizen.
Its Bearing on Home Kulo.
"I see the Tories in England are making
a great point against home rule on account
of the New Orleans affair, asserting that
with home rule Ireland could get Great
Britain into just such a complication as the
United States are in now, and thus involve
the kingdom in a war. But Ireland can do
that same now, and what power wonld
settle the cases of the lynchers but the Irish
courts, and tbey would surely do it quite as
well with home rule as without it."
The official above quoted said he did not
believe that any foreign minister had made
inquiry in regard to the protection subjects
of their Government may expect in Amer
ica. Under the circumstances such a pro
ceeding would be in very bad taste, as the
present controversy will probably bring out
every feature of the matter. He believed
that the foreign ministers were satisfied that
foreigners were much belter protected in the
United States than elsewhere, and he was
convinced that Baron Fava was utterly dis
gusted with the proceedings ol his Govern
ment in relation to the New Orleans affair.

THE JUDICIAL POWER
THAT IS LODGED IN THE UNITED STATES
SUPBEME COTJET.
It Has Original Jurisdiction Over Cases lake
This Italian One, Says William Henry
Hurlbert Ilariison and Blaine's Action
Tartly Criticised by Him.
THY CABLE TO THE DISrATCH.3
London, April 4. In an interview to
day, Mr. Hurlbert, who has just returned
Irorn the Continent, where he was at the be
ginning of the diplomatic outbreak between
Italy and the United States, says there is
much less excitement in Italy over the
lynching at New Orleans than there appears
to be among the Italians in tbe United
States. Continuing, Mr. Hurlbert said:
Mvwife and her sister are now in Rome,
which is quite as fall as usual with American
travelers, whera all manner of social festivi
ties, snch as come with Enter, are going on,
with no interruption of harmony between th
American residents and their Italian friendr.
The men ljnched in New Orleans appear to
have been chiefly Sicilian?, and as the general
impression prevails in other parts of Italy
that murder societies exert great political
and social influence in Sicily, the Intelligent
Italians of Northern and Central Italy are
obviously Inclined to believe that the New
Orleans "victims probably got no more than
they deserved. No responsible Italians for a
moment imagine that the United States or the
State of Louisiana have- intended any disre
spect or injury to Italy. Throughout this
affair their general sentiment is, I should say,
that whatever Italians were lynched in New
Orleans were lynched not because they were
Italians, butbecause they wore murderers. "
Politically, in Italy there is little doubt the
matter might have injured the newly estab
lished Cabinet of Marquis Hudint had not an
opportunity been afforded him at Washington
to wave the Italian flic vigorously In the eyes
of the nation. SignorCnspi ! a Sicilian, and
Sicilians in Parliament and ont of it would
certainlv have made political capital out of tbe
affair hail the chance been given ttiera. I have
no knowledge of any altercation between tbe
Italian Undersecretary of State and Minister
Porter at Komo except the newspaper report,
and no reason to suppose Mr. Porter wonld
have converted the conversation on the sub
ject into a lecture on the American Constitu
tion. Doubtless it was unfortunate that the
Italian Foreign Secretary was absent from
Rome when Mr. Porter called at the depart
ment, but the correspondence between Baron
Fava and Mr. Blaine as sent to Europe by
cable seems to indicate that the matter was
taken up by the Washington Gorernment
from the first as a purely executive matter,
and in a temper which is perhaps to be re
gretted. No allusion appears to have been made to the
very distinct provision made in the Constitution
for dealing with cases arising between foreign
Governments or their subjects and the Govern,
ments or citizens of tho several sovereign
States, jet this would seem to be precisely
uch a case. In the third article of tbe
Constitution of the United States It is
expressly provided that the judicial power,
meaning the power of the Supreme Court,
shall extend to all cases In law and equity
arising under tbe Constitution, the laws oi the
United States and treaties made, or which
shall be made under their authority between a
State or the citizens tbtreof and foreign States,
citizens or subjects, and it is further provided
that in all cases in which a State shall be a
narty the Supreme Court shall have original
jurisdiction.
Possibly President Harrison and Mr. Blaine
have unpleasant association with the Supreme
Court arising out of the Bering Sea difficulty,
but in this Italian business it might have pre
vented much unhandsome comment upon the
power of the United States to protect foreign
ers within its boundaries if the Department of
State had pointed out to the Italian Minister
the fact of this original jorisdistion of tbe
Suurcue Court over cases in which a foreign
state or subjects of a foreign state may believo
Injury and injustice to have been done by any
State of the Union or by Its subjects.
It is diflicult to suppose tbe r oderal Govern
ment can wish loreign powers to understand
that the safetv and the rights of foreigners re
siding in the United States under treaties can
only be assured by Federal Invasion of tbe
rights of the State". If that wcro the case,
this Italian question would rapidly become an
American question, and a very serious one.
DH. VEEDl'S DEFENSE.
He Denounces the Severe Reflections Made
on Hla Americanism.
Washington, April 4. The interview
with Dr. Verdi, of this city, so widely pub
lished, has caused many severe reflections
upon his Americanism, and this alternoon
the doctor published a card, defending him
self against such insinuations. He says in
part:
Everythlne that Is dear to me Is American
and in America. Now I am pointed out by
newspaper reporters as an Italian using violent
lancuago against the Americans. I protest
against this as absolutely unfair and untrue.
I am an American citizen to the backbone,
who would never flinch in hi- duty to his
adopted couutry. I thank God for America
every day of my life. I owe my success, all
the honor I have recehed, to tbe country
of my adoption. My allegiance Is sincere; my
lojalty is indisputable. least back with scorn
any insinuation or etiarce to tbe contrary, from
whatever source. My children have never
knoun any other than American soil, and their
language is the language of their native
land
After 40 years of loyal AmericanshlpI pre
text against the insinuations that fill tho air to

murderers, or attach any other blame to tbem

"Will the international difference of

A SENSATIONAL TALE
PB0MISED BY O'MALLEY IN EEFEBENCE
TO THE LYNCHINO.
He Says Ho Will Prove the Dead Italians
Were Innocent of Honnossy's Murder
Politz the Only Guilty One The Bribery
Charges Denied.
rSrlClAL TELEQHAM TO THE DISPATCIM
New Orleans, Apiil 4. O'Malley, the
detective in the Hennessy case, who was
threatened with death if he returned here,
will not be disturbed for the present, at
least. At the meeting yesterday some of
the Safety Committee thought that
inasmuch as O'Malley had returned'
in defiance of the order to keep
away, some action should be taken. It was
finally determined to do nothing, but that if
there was no conviction the matter should
be taken in their own hands and O'Malley
dealt with summarily. Should the trial,
therefore, result in O'Malley' acquittal,
unless the case against him is very weak, it
is probable that an attempt will be made to
lynch him.
O'Malley seems to have planned his re
turn well, when tbe excitement over Baron
Fava attracted attention from him. Tbe
pluck be showed helped him. O'Malley
still refuses to talk, but promises to tell a
sensational tale. He insists that everyone
of the Italians lynched were innocent; that
he will prove it, and that the mob leaders
will yet apologize to their widows and
orphans. Hennessy had other enemies than
the Italians.
He denies that there was any bribery or
attempt to bribe the jury. The only in
dictment against him relative to the Hen
nessy murder trial is as accessory before
the fact to McCrystal's attempt to bribe a
tales juror. The indictment is somewhat
of a surprise, as it was thought that the
grand jury would be able to find some
direct evidence of jury bribing against him.
As O'Malley passed along the streets to
day he was surrounded by groups of people
eager to hear bis side of the case. He
avoiaea extended conversations, but an
swered the questions put to him with a show
of frankness. He said that when he gave
his interview to the public it would
contain so many disclosures that a num
ber of people now joining in the cry
against him would hide behind their doors.
"Those men were innocent," he said, "and
the people made a big mistake.. Each one
of the 19 men made a statement to me, which
I investigated and reported upon. I found
that all of them told the truth with one ex
ception." "Politz," said some one, and
O'Malley replied: "You've guessed it."
"I had such confidence in theiT innocence
that I offered small bets that all of the ac
cused would be acquitted. All this talk
about my suborning witnesses and bribing
jurors is untrue. You heard the witnesses,
and, so heip me God, I never ap
proached any of them with reference
to what testimony they were to give.
The closest the grand jury has got to me is
to indict me upon matters that happened
eight years ago. I have sworn that I was
not convicted of felony in Cleveland, and
my name does not appear upon the records
of the court which tries felonies in Cleve
land, and petit larceny is not a felony in
Ohio."

A VALUABLE FIND.

.SPECIAL TELSOHAU TO TIIK DIBPATCR1
Shenandoah, Pa., April 4. Upon the
real estate interest of the Haupt family at
Frackville, three miles from this city, a
discovery has been made that will revo
lutionize the value of property there. For
some time a large tract on this valuable es
tate has been the subject of much speculation,
owing to the peculiar grayish color of the
soil. The thought sugcested itself that it
might be pottery clay, owing to its oily ap
pearance and susceptibility of being worked
with very little exertion into a condition of
plasticity equal to that of ordinary glaziers'
putty. A specimen was sent to the Moore
head Clay Works, of Philadelphia, to have
the green, unprepared clay subjected to a
fire test
It was found to take the glaze on the first
heat. It was first put in the "busquit" and
then "slipped," or glazed, which is said to
be a Very severe test for green clay. The
result has exceeded the most sanguine hopes
of the fortunate possessors, microscopic in
vestigation revealing no "crose," or
"crack," in the enamel or glaze. This test
demonstrates that it is tbe first American
clay that has been discovered that can com
pete with the famous Kilmarvact lactones
of Scotland. Scottish briok have now a
monopoly of the American market at ?2 tier
1,000.

THE FIGHT INCREASES IN VIGOR.
Woman's Proper Sptere Discussed by Big
Ministerial Guns.
TOTE TO BE TAKEN TDESDAI MORNING
IKFKCIAL TELEQKAM TO THB DISFATCR.I
New Yobk, April 4. There was consid
erable sharpshooting at the opening of the
second day of the pitched battle in the-New
York Methodist Conference in Yonkers to
day over the question whether two women
shall be eligible from every Conference to
sit with the powers of lay delegates in the
General Conference of the denomination.
Many oi the ministers who are opposed to
admitting the women, and many who favor
admitting them, strenuously oppose debate.
They desire to have ballots cast secretly and
to have tbe vote taken as soon as possible.
"When the time arrived to-day to take up
the discussion where it was dropped on Fri
day, a resolution was offered to have the
vote taken in an hour, shutting off debate.
Motions, amendments and substitutes fol
lowed, until ball theministers did notknow
what the other half were talking about, and
those who favored debating the subject
openly and above board declared that the
other side were conspiring to defeat debate
by using all the time in filibustering.
Victory for Free Speech.
After more than an hour of confusion,
Bishop Fitzgerald restored order, and the
Conference decided by a big majority to let
debate go on and to announce the result of
the ballot on Tuesday at 11 a. h. No time
was set for taking tbe vote.
"Three columbiads and a mountain how
itzer," as the speaker described his style ot
warfare, were fired off just before adjourn
ment The Rev. "W. C. Browning, a colum
biad in the woman's camp, said substan
tially: 'I don't see that there is anything
violent and revolutionary in the movement
to admit women. I am not scaring worth a
cent about anything in that line of argu
ment. There is a principle in logic that that
which proves too much proves nothing at
all.
"I was at the General Conference where
this auestion was discussed, and the very
men who are now crying out that we are
revolutionary, declared then that the only
ground on which tbey opposed the admis
sion of women was because the church
constitution did not provide for rit. The
Methodist Episcopal Church we have al
ways believed to be a child of Providence.
Chance for Farther Honor.
"We have started out on new lines before,
and have been honored by the world in do
ing it, and in this matter our proposed ac
tion is but an outgrowth of our work iu the
past. Now we who propose to keep in the
van of progress are opposed by those who
propose to turn the whole tide of the Meth
odist Church into living in the past. It's a
course contrary to the genius of the
Church."
The Eev. Delos Lull, a columbiad in the
anti-woman camp, said it would be a viola
tion, not of a human constitution, but of
God's and nature's constitution to admit
women. The question at issue is tbe greatest
ever propounded in the history of the world,
and the eye of the world is on the Meth
odist Church, especially the eye of the
Roman Catholic Church, which charges the
Methodists with being tbe most icono
clastic and progressive of all tbe religious
denominations. Mr. Lull divided the com
pass of human activity into the home, the
protective and the social spheres. Women
rule in the home sphere, men in the protec
tive sphere and women and men unite in
thesocial sphere, . :
Proper Sphere of Woman.
"Woman sphere reaches from 'borne out
ward and upward to heaven. In it her
power molds men for heaven. "What would
the influence ol SusannahWesley.themotber
of the "Wesleys, have been if it had not been
a home influence? She was the founder of
Methodism, through her boys. Man's best
work is in the protective sphere. He
gathers the resources which enable women
to do their work thoroughly and well.
This is a rule which is true by analogy
among all animals. In the sphere of social
union of tbe sexes women are associated
with men in benevolent work, in Bpeaking
and writing and in the arts and sciences.
She is the left arm and man is the right
arm, and they work together, but at the
same time separately, for the good of the
body. In the proportion that women invade
men's sphere, that the left arm docs the
work of the right arm, she reflects on man
and disparages his work.
They take away that sense of trust in
man's strength to protect, which endears
men to them. Men are executive, and the J
executive must not oe partial, yet who does
not know that women, by their emotional
and affectionate nature, are most intolerant
to woman and tolerant to men? Applause
and cries of "That's so."" They crowd to
our prisons to plead for mercy for crimi
nals, while almost crowning" them with
flowers. Man is severe with women, out of
regard for her purity, and he is severe with
men who intrude on the privacy of the home.
Host Power of Woman.
It is for man by his strength to protect
the divine sanctity of home. Woman's best
power in a legislative body is her wish. It
is more respected by manly men than her
command. Take away the woman's rule by
her desire and you disparage manhood.
Applause.
The last of the big gnns.the Eev.Dr.Eich
ard Wheatley. was fired from the women's
camp. He argued that women ought to be
admitted as a matter of expediency. It is
true, he said, that the presence of women in
the General Conference would be an ex
ception to the general rule, but God made
'exceptions to general rules, and this was
one of the exceptions. It -was said that
women would necessarily be advanced to be
preachers if once admitted; but why so, any
more than men laymen were now? It God
should call women to exercise the functions
of preachers, why not call them preachers
and have done with It.
As to tbe argument that women would
have intolerable burdens placed on them bv
admitting them, it was to be remembered
that history everywhere showed that in pro
portion as women had had the right to pro
tect themselves, they had freed themselves
from their burdens. The debate will be re
sumed Monday.

ceedings w'ill be made from this time on.

How the Blllltla Is Standing Its Rather
Itonifh Usage.
rtFECIAlj TELXQllAU TO TBS DISrATCO.1
Scottdale, April 4'. Generals McClel
land and "Wiley are very much impressed
with the good work of the militiamen under
their command in the coke region. No
trouble ol any serious natnre has occurred
and tbe men do duty in the inclement
weather without a murmur. The men in the
Teenth are having the hardest time of
it, but they pay no attention to their little
hardships, only saying they are learning
what it is to be soldiers. Lastjnight they
fell into the routine work like veterans, and
when they were compelled to tnrn out to
learn the'eause of the shooting, they did it
in good style. They are compelled to sleep
on their arms at all times.
"This is the first time the boys have really
seen service," said General McClelland.
"Heretofore they have always turned out in
good weather, and this is the first time tbey
have had a real good soldier's experience. 1
am very much pleased. It will do tbem
good."
The Eighteenth will probably remain here
until Monday. Onlv two men have been
sick so far. Private Ed Gordon, of the
Eignteentb, was sent home to-day.
TO RESUME MONDAY M0RNIHO.
A Belief That the Lelth and Bedstone
Works Are to He Started.
rSrZCIAL TELXOKAH TO THE DISPATCH".!
Uniontown, April 4. In the injunc
tion proceediugs against the labor leaders
by the Frick Coke Company to-day, the
former's representatives stated that
owing to the luneral of the dead
strikers at Scottdale tbey would be nnable
to be present and asked for a postponement
until April 20. Judge Ewing granted the
continuance. Tbe preliminary injunction
is to remain in force.
It is rumored that an effort will be made
to resume at the Leith and Bedstone works
of the Frick. Company Monday morning. A
written notice served on Sheriff McCormick
to-day by the Frick and "McClure Coke
Companies gives color to tbe belief that a
general resumption will be attempted at
once. Attorney A. D. Boyd, for the Frick
Company notified the Sheriff that they
would look to him for protection at their
works. Superintendent A. B. Brennan
served a similar notice for the McClure
Company. Sheriff McCormick said to
night that he wonld be obliged to impress a
large number of deputies into service.
DISTRIBUTION OF THE TROOPS.
Arrangements Made for Speedily Putting
Down Any Disturbance.
ntrXCIAL TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH.!
Mt. Pleasant, April 4. There hare
been no new arrangements as to the dis
tribution of the troops. The officers in com
mand have been busily engaged all day study
ing maps of the Connellsyille coke region and
complete plans have been drawn up
of all tho public roads, showing the shortest
routes between the various works. "With
the aid of these the troops can be quickly
transferred to any part ot the region where
disturbances may occur.
It is probable that the troops will be
kept in the vicinity of Mt Pleasant. The
strike includes so many different works that
to distribute the soldiers among them would
leave such a small number at each plaee
that a concentrated attack of the strikers
could not be repelled. In view of this fact
it has been thoucht best to hold the larger
portion of the troops here in readiness to
respond to any call for aid.

A DENIAL FROM FITZGERALD.
Tho Irish National Leacne Not Called
to
Indorse I'arnoll.
Lincoln, Neb., April 4. A gentleman
high in Irish National League ranks, who
is authorized to speak for Mr. Fitzgerald,
stated to-day that the statement said to have
been made by Dr. O'Reilly, of St. Louis,
intimating that President Fitzgerald had
called the council of the Irish National
League togetherforthe purpose of indorsing
Parnell, is false.
The league, by its constitution and the
resolutions of i's conventions, has hitherto
pledged itself to assist Mr. Parnell and his
colleagues. At present a divided opinion
exists among the branches of the league re
garding tbe question of sustaining Parnell or
his opnonents, or of maintaining a policy
of strict neutrality. It is a matter of such
grave responsibility that Mr. Fitzgerald felt
it his duty to place it before the council of
the league, and secure for it the considera
tion which it deserves.

Legislative Investigation.
ME. HAYEMEYER DENIES CHARGE.
One Senator Tells Him the Trust Feople
Ought to Ee in Prison.
ANOTHER EEFDSAL TO TKODDCE BOOKS
New York, April 4. The committee in
vestigating the Sugar Trust met to-day.
John O. Ha vemeyer testified that the charter
was first obtained in Connecticut, but after
ward it was resolved to go to New York and
do business. The American Sugar Refining
Company had nothing to do with California
refineries. There is nothing in the report
that the refineries were going to combine
and raise prices. The cost of refining here
was greater than in any other country.
A letter was handed witness and he was
asked to read it and tell what he thought of
it. Tbe letter was dated March 24, and was
addressed to the chairman of the Sugar
Trust investigation. It stated that last
week an agreement was entered into be
tween the Sugar Trust and all other Amer
ican refineries on the one part, and principal
wholesale grocers on the second part, that
the American refineries are to allow or pay
the grocers of one cent per pound, to
gether with 1 per cent discount, if tbe bills
of sugar are paid within one week from date
of sale.
Pronounced the. Story a Lie.
In return, tbe grocers pledged themselves
to boycott, or not to purchase any foreign re
fined sugar abroad or at home. Mr. Have
meyer said that the whole thing was a lie.
John E. Searles, Treasurer of the old trust,
then took the stand. Witness explained
his duties. He had been in the sugar busi
ness 25 years, and had been Treasurer of
some of the constituent companies. "When
he became Treasurer of the trust he gave no
bonds. Treasurer Searles was asked why
the St. Louis Sugar Refining Company was
shut dowu, and explained it by saying that
the refinery in that city was used to refine
Louisiana sugar, and that when it entered
the American Company it vja3 closed to fol
low the cheaper process by increasing the
facilities to Louisiana. The refinery in St.
Louis was put in perfect running order,
ready to open at 24 hours' notice in case of
accident to tbe Louisiana houses. The
margin between raw and refined sugar had
been smaller since the formation of the
trust. He was of the opinion that if the
manufacture of suear iu this country was
under one management, it could be supplied
to the public nt cheaper rates and with
more profit to the refiner then he could ob
tain through single operations.
Why the Connccticnt Charter Was Taken.
Mr. Searles then explained why a charter
was taken out in Connecticut, and why the
company was not formed there. The char
ter, he said, would have allowed the re
finers to carry on'tbe same business that had
been declared illegal in this State, and by
advice of counsel the plan was abandoned.
A long discussion ensued between the
witness and Senator Irwin, on one hand.
and Messrs. Havemeyer, Root, Harris and
Vedder on the other, as to the production of
the corporation books, which has hitherto
caused so much argument. Mr. Root offered
to make an arrangement whereby one or
more-of the committee could be afforded a
private examination of the books, about cer
tain points to be settled upon in advance,
and remarked that he did not see why the
committee should wish to examine tbe
books, anyhow. Mr. Irwin flared up and
said he would enlighten the counsel.
"Let me tell you what many well-informed
people say about this matter," he
said to Mr. Root "It is said that your div
idends are mads by operations in "Wall
street."
Here Mr. H. O. Havemeyer answered
sharply, "Well, you may tell the public
that all such talk is false utter rot"
Ought to Go to the State Prison.
Senator Irwin If I had proof of all I
have heard you all ought to be in the State
prison if the charges are true.
T. A. Havemeyer then grew angry and
said he objected to being called a fraud by
the Chairman, who, he said, was acting as
judge before the case was tried. Some
lively speeches passed quickly then, and
Senator Irwin intimated that thev ought to
produce their books to disprove all accusa
tions against them.
Finally Mr. Searles, under oath, testified
that no money paid into the treasury of the
trust had been the product of Wall street
operations, and that no such operations had
ever been indulged in bv the trust Mr.
Searles stated that to his knowledge there
was no arrangement for a division of the
country between Claus Spreckels and the
American Sugar Refining Company. Mr.
Havemeyer, he said, had made a sort of an
arrangement of a personal nature with
Spreckels that did not affect the company.
Havemeyer Can't Frodnoe the Books.
Harry O. Havemeyer was next called
under a subpeona requiring bim to produce
the books of the constituent companies. Mr.
Harris asked it he would produce the books,
and he answered that he was unable to do
so. Even the books of the Havemeyer and
Elder Company he could uot produce, as
they were not under his control nor iu his
possession. The witness said they were re
moved to New Jersey under his direction,
and, although he was now President of the
American Sugar Refining Company, he
could not have brought tbem over here, as
they were tbe property of the corporation.
The next witness was Edward Adams, an
expert accountant and the American repre
sentative of Llnyd, Griffith & Co., of Lon
don. He made an examination for the pur
pose of learning the standing of the Sugar
Trust at the end of August, 1890. He only
saw the trial balance sheets of the various
corporation companies, and, after testing
them, made his report. The committee then
adjourned until Monday.
- GOULD'S MAMMOTH SCHEME.
A Syndicate to Assume Control of 40,000
Miles of Southwestern Railroads.
St. Louis, April 4. The objecj
of Jay Gould's visit to St Louis is
in furtherance of tbe proposed great
Southwestern and Southern combination of
railroads, including the roads known as the
Gould system, lines owned and controlled
by C. P. Huntington, or rather as the Hun
tington syndicate, tbe Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fc on the East side of the Mis
sissippi, the Richmond and Danville and
perhaps others.
The proposed scheme is a company with
sufficient capital to cover a reasonable
capitalization of tbe whole, amounting to
some 40,000 miles of railroad, extending
across the continent, with their main stems
running through the South and Southwest,
and mauy feeders reaching out in every
direction through the vast country made
tributary to tbe main lines. The plan is
now well advanced in the preparatory stage,
and has been indorsed by Mr. Gould. Upon
his return to New York, it is probable that
the plan will mature at an earlv date.

GERMANY IS "WORRIED.
Not Satisfied With the Czar's Explanation
of Carnot's Decoration.
Beelin, April 4. Count Schouyaloff,
the Russian Ambassador here, returned to
the Russian Embassy from St. Petersburg
yesterday, and immediately held a confer
ence with Chancellor von Caprivi. A com
munication has appeared in the North Ger
man Gazette, saying that the rumor
of the transfer of Russian troops to the
Galician frontier Is unfounded. The com
munication further says that the bestowal
of the order of St. Andrew upon President
Carnot was merely an act of courtesy upon
the part of the Czar, in return for general
honors rendered the Dubs of Leuchtenberg.
This feeble official reference is worse than
absolute silence. Count Schouvelofi's leave
was cut short a fortnight.
The Moscow papers, simultaneously with
the Russian organs in Paris and Brussels,
report that President Carnot is going to
Moscow ostensibly to visit the French ex
hibition of art and industries, which is to
be opened there . in May. An article
in La France says that the pres
ence of President Carnot at Mos
cow is obviously a feeler for the
purpose ol eliciting public opinion. Presi
dent Carnot's going or not going will not
alter the fact that the alliance between
France and Russia, recently accomplished,
vastly heightens the danger and accelerates
the approach of war. The chiefs of the
Dreibund will act in unison with Lord
Salisbury in reference to tbe Bulgarian im
broglio. Their concerted policy consists in
simply refusing to interfere, or to permit in
terference, in the Balkans.
Davltt Not Acceptable.
London, April 4. The Government has
decided not to invite Mr. Davitt to serve
upon the Labor Commission, and has asked
Mr. McCarthy to suggest another repre
sentative. NEWFOUNDLAND STILL HOT.
ITS PRESS STILL BITTER AGAINST THE
GOVERNMENT.
The People Called Upon to Oppose the Suc
cess of the Plot Against the Island The
Mission of the Delegates to England Is
Defined.
Halifax, N. S., April 4. Tbe New
foundland papers received here are filled
with the most violent articles in! denuncia
tion of the British Government for its treat
ment of tbe colony in relation to the French
fishery rights.
' The Herald S3ys : "A crisis of the most
momentous importance has arisen in con
nection with the French shore question, and
peremptorily demands immediate action by
the Legislature and the people of this
colony. The success of such a plot we should
by all means oppose. Once permit the pro
posed bill to become a law, and the French
shore question will be settled to our disad
vantage for generations to come. If New
foundland is ever to be one, indivisible
politically as well as materially, this new
coercion measure of Salisbury & Co. must
be defeated.
"Thelmission of the delegates is officially
announced to be: First, to procure the
abandonment, the postponement or amend
ment of the coercion law now before the Im
perial Parliament; second, to secure com
pensation to settlers on the west coast for
losses sustained under any law that
may Ve enacted or agreement reached;
third, now that the lobster
question has been submitted to
arbitration against our protest, to procure
submission to arbitration of questions which
we believe likely to result favorably to us,
or to endeavor to prevent partial arbitration
now hanging over us; and if that cannot be
done, then to guard against the evil con
sequences from it as may best be done under
the circumstances. The people of the west
coast regard it as a useless expense to the
colony to send another delegation to Eng
land, seeing that such a delegation could not
accomplish anything practical."
JSoine time ago Monsignor Hawley, pre
fect apostolic of the French shore, suggested
to Lord Knutsfurd a solution of the problem
by separating the west coast from tbe gov
ernment of the rest of the island, and the
creation of the west coast into a separate
government, and Lord Knutsford has sent
Dr; Hawley a dispatch acknowledging the
value of the suggestion.
A STRANGE CALIFORNIA STORY.
One Bond Speculator Wills That Another
Shall Die a Natural Death.
San Fkanoisco, April 4. The Exam
iner, in an article on the death of Call
Deane, the well-known stock broker, which
occurred at Oakland last night, says: "On
March 30 one Karl Vogt subscribed to a
long document before a notary public, re
citing that he (Vogt) had been instructed
by I'roviuence to invest $l,ul)U in
mining stocks on March 4, and that
said stocks were to return him the
sum of $3,750. The value of the stocks
depreciated, however, and Vogt, who had
only made part payment on the stocks, was
sold out He demanded that Deane pay
him the amount he (Vogt) should have
made on the investment.
On Deane's refusal, Vogt drew up docu
ments declaring it tbe will of Providence
that Deane fhould die a "natural but
(judicial death" at midday Friday, April 3.
xesterday, about noon, Deane was taken ill
with hemorrhage of the stomach, and died
late last night. Vogt is missing. Deane is
stated to have been a relative of Isaac Butt,
M. 1'., prominent in Irish home rnle circles.
