VOL. VII—NO. 195 CRAWFORDSVILLE, INDIANA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 189-4

A HIGH HONOR.

Conferred by the President on Senator White, of Louisiana.

PLACED ON THE SUPREME BENCH.

The Appointment of the Southern Sonato* to lie Judge Blatcliford'i Successor Cornea Sarprlie—He Is Confirmed Without Reference. N

WHITE TOR THE BRXCn.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—Senator White, of Louisiana, was nominated for associate justice of the supreme court. The senate upon receiving tho nomination Immediately went into exeoutlve session, and confirmed it at once, without opposition.

A Surprise.

The nomination was a complete surprise. No one had the slightest intimation of it. Those nearest the president believed that he would nominate

EDWARD 1) WHIIE.

Judge Cullen, of New York. Senator White called on the president this morning by special Invitation. His colleague, Senator Caffery, went with htm. Upon entering the executive room the president tendered Senator White the nomination. Both senators were profoundly astonished. When they recovered their composure the president expressed the hope that the Benator would accepr the offer. lie spoke of his legal attainments and his manifest qualifications. When he finished the senators conferred together for a few minutes. A long talk between them followed and ended with Senator White's accepting the high honor.

When Assistant Private Secretary Pruden appeared at the capital there was a rush of anxious ones for him. The assistant private secretary was as much in the dark about Senator White's nomination as anyone The first person besides the president and tho two senators to learn of it was when one of the senate clerks opened the official envelope brought by Mr. Pruden and laid a paper before Senator Vilas, who was presiding, and Senator Manderson, who was standing by. Their faces betrayed their astonishment.

Confirmed Without Ki-fprmict It is the usual custom in the senate when a senator is nominated to confirm him without waiting to refer the nomination to a committee. A single objection to confirmation without reference would carry the nomination over. At 8:0/5 p. m. the senate went Into executive session on a motion of Senator Caffery (dein., La.), with a view to confirming Senator White at onoe. The motion to confirm the nomination of Suuator White as associate justice was made by Senator Pugh (dem., Ala.), who made a speech eulogistic of the nomination and was followed by Senators lioar, Teller, Hill and Cafferty, all except the latter members of the judiciary committee. Senator Hill said that while he regretted that the president had in his wisdom seen fit to go outside ot New York for a man for the office he was pleased that the choice had been made so wisely.

The Injunction of secrecy was removed from the confirmation of White and the fact was made lenown officially. The new justice, it Is supposed, will receive his commission and be readj- to take his seat on the bench when the supreme court reassembles the first Monday in March.

Considered a Wise Nomination. The nomination is considered a splendid one from a standpoint of personal fitness. Senator White, though serving his first term in c.hc senate, Is regarded by his colleagues as one of the foremost lawyers of the upper house. He is a fine orator and his speech last session against the anti-op-tion bill placed him at once In the front ranks of the senate. He is a large man of imposing presence and will make a good appearance on the bench. He was not in the senate when the nomination came In. He is a courteous gentleman and a very popular member of the senate.

The N«w Justl&e.

[Mr. White was bora ln.the parish of Lafourche, La., In November, 1H45. He wag educated at Mount St. Mary's, near Emmetteburg, Md., at the Jssuit college' In Now Orleans and at Georgetown college, District of Columbia. He served In the confederate army. After the war ho began studying law and was admitted to praotloe by the supreme court of Louisiana in 1883. Six years later he was elected to the state senate. He was appointed assoolato Justice of the supreme sourt of Louisiana in 1(78. He was eleot.-»i. to the United States senate as democrat to succeed James B. Eustis, taking bis seat March 4, 1801. Ilia term will expire March t, 181*7.]

THE ORAWFORDSVILLE JOURNAL.

RETURNED THE VISIT.

Emperor William Culls on l'ri'iee Illsmarck at Friedrlchnrultc. PitiEnmcnsnuiTE, Feb. 20.—Another link has been forged in the chain of reconciliation between Emperor William and Prince Bismarck. Emperor William loft Berliu at 2:20 Monday ufternoon and arrived here shortly after 5 o'clock. In spite of the request by the emperor that there should be no demonstration upon the oocaslou of his arrival here the railway station and the village were gayly decorated.

Prinoe Bismarck, upon leaving tlie eustle for the railroad station in order to meet Emperor William, was greeted with loud applause by the crowds of people assembled. The emperor, who wore a naval uniform covered by a dark cloak, stopped briskly out of the carriage when the train drew up at the platform and approached Prince Bismarck, who wore the cuirassier uniform, with helmet, and the gray uniform cloak recently presented to him by the emperor. Warm and repeated hand shakes were exchanged between the emperor and the ex-chancellor, after which the former oarefully wrapped the gray cloak around tho prince's shoulder's, Bismarck having doffed the garment just previous to greeting the emperor. The emperor and Prince Bismarck then walked to the castle of Kriedriclisruhe, followed by the emperor's suite of seven persons. They wer.t enthusiastically received by the crowds lining the route. Upon arriving at the castle Emperor William greeted Princess Bismarck and, with the princess upon hin »rtn, the emperor proceeded to the salon. The emperor congratulated Prince Bismarck on his hearty appearance and then introduced the prince to his. suite. The emperor shook hands with Secretary Chrysander and Dr. Schweninger.

The dinner to his majesty was in private. Only twelve covers were laid. Neither Count Herbert nor William Bismarck was present. The emperor sat between Prince and Princess Bismarck. After dinner nil conversed corlially, tho prinoe and emperor, smoking.

At 0 o'clock his majesty took liis departure. The ex-chancellor accompanied him back to the station and he and the emperor shook hands several times before parting. On the way to the station from the Bismarck residence the cheering of the crowds was incessant and the emperor repeatedly saluted.

Returning home Prince Bismarck was almost carried off his feet by his excited admirers, who crowded around him, and the crash became so great that tho fire brigade had to precede the carriage and clear the wuy. I'rluce Bismarck seems to be in much better health since liis reconciliation with the emperor than for a long time past.

The reconciliation Is now complete and Bismarck's Influence will soon be felt again. But he never again will be chancellor, although he could be tomorrow if he wished to. The emperor will probably create an entirely new office for him at an early date.

M'KANE TO SING SING.

Six Years' Scut.enoe Given the r.raveseud Political BOBS. NEW YOUK, Feb. 20.—Six year^imprisonment In Sing Sing prison was the sentence passed Monday upon John Y. McKane, the onco great boss of Orttvesend and Sheepshpad Bay.

Upon the opening of court Judge llartlett sentenced McKane, after having over ruled motions for anew trial and for a stay pending appeal. McKane, when asked if he had anything to say, replied: "I do not lciow that I can say anything but what 1 said on the stand during this trial. 1 have never done anything to anyuue us far as I know. I never did anything directly or indirectly wrong with regard to the "Notion, nor did I ever counsel anyone else U. au anything wrong. I again say that I am not guilty of any offense against the law,"

Supreme Judge Edgar M. Cullen just before 10 o'clock Monday night signed nn order for the prosecution to show cause before himself at special term Friday morning why a certificate of reasonable doubt should not be issued upon which a motion for a new trial In the Mclvane case may be favorably en tertained. The order was coupled with stay of the execution of McKane's six years' sentence until a decision Is rendered in the present application.

SURRENDERED.

Chris Evans and. Morrell, His Pal, Are Captured.

THE BANDITS' HOME SURROUNDED.

Finding Resistance Cseleas the Fainmti Desperados* Give' Theinnelves Cp to the Sheriff and III* POM*

So Blood Shed.

AO AH! IN THE TOILS.

VISALIA,

Cal., Feb. 20. Bandits

Evans and Morrell are now safely lodged behind the bars in the county Jail here having surrendered to Sherff Kay. A posse under the direction of Marshal Gard and Sheriff Kay went to Evans' house at a. m. Monday and lost no time In surrounding It It was learned that a woman named Mrs. Brighton was In the house together with Evans' children, and an effort was made to get them out before making an attack to capture the outlaws.

Xhe Bandits Sc.rod.

It was evident that tho bandits wore thoroughly frightened at the large force that had surrounded them. All varieties of firearms were brought into use and the posse was well prepared for tho attack. Negotiations between the officers and Evans were carried on by letters delivered by the bandit's youngest son. Half the population of the town stood about the house at a safe distance while the proceedings were going on. Matters having been thoroughly arranged, Sheriff Key paid a young man named Beeson to go into the house to get Evans' children out, Beeson was admitted and It was some time before he came out. His presence, doubtless, had some influence with Evaus, for it was not long afterward before he surrendered to the sheriff.

Evans exhibited signs of bis long confinement, and looked very rough. Morrell showed no signs of fear, yet he saemed serious, and appeared to appreciate the condition of affairs. The citizens here feel greatly relieved since the capture of the two men.

Brutally Beat a Woman.

When Evans saw armed men around the house and noted that Brighton had not returned he attacked Mrs. Brighton, who was in the house, knocking her down and kicking her and telling her to go to bed and stay there. He was only prevented from killing the woman through the Intervention of Morrell. The woman was badly Injured and was in spasms for hours. Brighton and his wife have been living In the Evans house and caring' for the four little children of Evans.

Mrs. Byrd, Evans' mother-in-law, says he is crazy. Sunday night he threatened to kill his brother-in-law, George Byrd, and was only prevented by the old lady stepping between them. Mrs. Byrd says she would have come out of the house only she was afraid Evans wonld kill her, as ho threatened to do.

Are Bad Man.

Evans is one of the boldest desperadoes in the west. He and Morrell escaped from Fresno jail some months ago. and posses have been scouring the state for them ever since. It is believed that they participated in the train robbery on the Southern Pacific road near Roscoe, Los Angeles county, last Friday, when two men were killed, but that is merely conjecture. The capture of the bandits will occasion muoh rejoicing throughout the state, for so long as they were at large the officers of the law knew that their robberies and murders would continue.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. President Cleveland has sent to congress the dispatches whioh arrived February 10 at San Francisco from Hawaii. Among the papers is Minister Willis' reply to Provisional President Dole's letter in regard to the minister's attitude showing an intention to use force. In part It is: 'In view of the above reply to your la«t communication may not be necessary, nor would one bo made, exoept from the aeslre of my government to have the good will and friendship of thevaopie for whom you speak, which result will, In my opinion, be advanced b7 an explanation of several matters herein re. ferred to.

Kuinora ot an Attack.

"November 1ft 8. Damon, minister of finance, notified me in person that there wer« rumors of an attaok that night or the ensuing night upon the executive building. I lemarked: "The Japanese consul general tho English minister and other foreign representatives have already called to say that their people are apprehensive of mob violence and asked me, an the only representative whose ,gov' ernment has war vessels uow lu port, protect their people. The friends ot the aueeu are also apprehensive as to bet safety. I do not wish to interfere lu any way with your domestic affairs, exoept with your approval. If you do not object, however, I will publicly announee that the United States will cooperate to prevent mob violence. I will also state that there will be uo communication to your government from the president of the United States for several weekp.'

Meant In the Intereat of I'eaee. "Mr. Damon replied thanking mc for tho oUei and saying that he could see uo objnotlon what, ever, that such an announcement would go very far toward allaying excitemont and relieving general anxiety. The following morning you called at this legation, and on being informed ol the preceding faots you expresssd your satisfaction and approval of what had oceurred. The representatives of the foreign government# and many prominent citizen* expressed them selves to the same effect. The action taken was moant and understood at the time as in the Interest of peoco, humanity and good order, and will after this explanation no longer, 1 hope, be considered au evidence of hostility.

American officers Insulted.

"In this connection it may not be improper to mention the conduct of our naval forces during the trying circumstances succeeding the «4th of last November. The many rumors as to their purpose of landing and attacking your people, the fooling of resentment naturally resulting from the honost belief by a large part ot tho community that such was their Intention, the opprobious epithets that were freely employed brought about suoh a dangerous and crltloal condition that for a time, as Admiral Irwin slates, It beoame necessary tor alt our officers going ashore to wear their service uniforms as a protection against insult and attaok. During the whole ot this unfortunate and regretable situation the demeanor of both officers and men was one of forbearance and self-control. "My government, one month prior to the time referred to, had given you information negatlv Ing the Idea of using force, and had authorized the publication ot such information 'to allay any suoh apprehension.' furthermore, as frankly admitted by you in this correspondence, 'your government did not Itself' entertain this apprehension.

Willis and the Queen.

"I desire to stave that the only communications ot a political oharacter which 1 have had with the queen were limited to three occasions The sole nurpose ot these negotiations were, as you know, to seoure proper guarantees from the queen as to life and property of all conneoted with the overthrow ot the monarchy. These having been assured I then, under the Instructions of the president ot the United States, presented his decisions, setting forth the reasons therefor and submitting to your government for its voluntary action.

Other Matters Explained.

"Touching the statement that your govorn ment was refused permission to forward 'Ha waltan government dispatches' by the dispatch boat Oorwin, It Is only necessary to remind you that the naval offloera of the United States and the publlo generally were denied such privilege, and that no inference of unfriendly feeling should therefore be drawn. Moreover, at the time your letter was written yon were aware of the teat that for the accommodation of youi government the Corwin had beon delayed ovei half a week. "As to the requests of the Britieh mlnlstei and Japanese consul general for permission tc land troops, they were, I am Informed, precautionary measures against possible mob violence. This permission Is still outstanding, and la not now and was not then, In my judg ment, proper evldenoe of a hostile purpose on the r«rt of our government"
