TAKES IT ALL BACK.

Populist Penoe la Sorry for His Bitter Bpeeoh.

HE THEREFORE MAKES AN APOLOGY.

Ho fluid* "Tlie Ho*t of Debate*' Responsible for the Offensive Remarks—Mr. Cooper (li»d.) Taken the Coloradau to Task.

PENCE APOLOGIZES.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.---Mr. Pence's speech of Monday, in which he struck right and left at his colleagues In the house, cut a prominent figure In Tuesday's proceeding*. Mr. Pence's refereuoe to Mr. Halner had been Incorrectly reported, and, vising to a question of privilege, he took occasion to apologize for the personalities he had Indulged In.

He sent to the clerk's desk and had read a statement In the press report which luade him nay that he charged Sir. Uainer with being fuller of beer than comprehension of idoas. What he had said was "Fuller of beard than of Ideas." Ha had immediately written a letter of apology, which he sent to the olerk's desk and had read. Aotlng under the advice of friendH whom he knew to ba wise and experienced in such matters, he said he thought he owed a more explicit apology to the gentleman from Nebraska. What he had said was said in the heal of debate, following a direct charge that he had said he desired to see this bill defeated. "1 should also say," he continued, "that in other utterances I have gone beyond the language that should be used in a legislative body. For such of them as might by any construction be deemed unparliamentary I cheerfully and gladly apologize, aud I now ask unanimous consent that the colloquy betwoen Mr. Hainer and myself bo itricken from the permanent record."

Cooper IlaH A Grievance.

There was no objection and It was HO ordered. This was not to bo the end however. Before Mr. Pence had resumed Ms seat Mr. Cooper (Ind.) rose to a question of privilege to cull Mr. Pence to account for the reflections cast upon him Tuesday. Mr. Cooper read the words nto which he took exception, to the effect that he (Cooper), Mr. Byhum and Mr. (Jates had last summer, when the silver-repeal bill was up, "obeyed the commands and demands of the executive and traded and swapped openly before the eyeB of the world."

J'euce Sticks to His Statement.

He asked Mr. Pence to explain what he meant, and the Colorado representative again came forward, ilo said that even in the closing hours of the last congress, when Henry Viilard, as representative of the incoming administration, was here trying to secure the repealof the Sherman la w, Mr.Cooper had voted for froe silver. Yet, last fall, acting under a democratic administration, he had changed his entire course. That justified what he had said. "Although Mr. Cooper spoke for repeal," Sir. Pence concluded, "he now seeks to save his silver record by supporting this bill in the fucc of the coming elections."

Cooper Kxpliitnn.

Mr. Cooper said In reply that what Mr. Pelice had said of his silver record prior to this congress was true. But in the midst of the panic last spring he had come to the conclusion that free coinage for the United States would brintr untold disaster. He made up his mind to that before he came to Washington to attend the extra session, and was so quoted, Taken in connection with the other remarks of Mr. Pence, his reflections could only mean that Ills position had been shifted at the dictation of the white house. Mr. Cooper declared that he had never held any conversation with President Cleveland on the subject of the Sherman law until after the bill was repealed. His conclusions were arrived at entirely Independent of others, and he considered the reflections of the gentleman from Colorado wholly unkind, unjust and untrue. He believed Sir. Pence's utterances and Conduct were prompted by his own peraonal Interests, He was interested largely In silver mines, and he (Cooper) claimed that acoordiug to the statutes the Colorado representative had no right to vote upon the pending question, much less to speak upon it. Ho has & dlreot personal and pecuniary Interest In the result of this legislation, and if ho would exercise that degree of caution or modesty or common decency that ought to com. mend itself to a man having a financial interest in the result of pending legislation he would hesi'ate before he attacked the motives of other gentlemen—honorable men who are serving tholr country, as they believe, instead of their own personal gain."

Still Without a Quorum.

Again Mr. Bland was unable to muster a quorum on his motion to close debate on the seigniorage bill, BO he allowed the debate to run oil without limit.

Judge Jenkins Not Alone.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—Resolutions were presented in the house Tuesday afternoon by Representative Somers, of Wisconsin, to Investigate the action of several United States judges who have Issued injunctions in railroad ctses, most prominent among them Justice Brewer, of the supreme court.

FOR ONE BIG CITY.

The BUI tot'nlte New York and Brook, lyn Passed.

AI.BA.VT, V. Y., Feb. M.—The Greater New York bill baa paaaed the senate by a vote of 88 to a. The proposition to provide equal taxation on Mr. Butts' Greater New York bill had been dofeated by 18 to previously. The bill which now goes to the governor, simply provide* that the qneatlon of consolidating Into one municipality the places about New York harbor shall be submitted next fall to a vote of the people.

The friends of the project to annex all the territory for 25 miles from the New York olty hall were spurred on1 four yeara ago by the fact that Chicago bad aa large a bona fide population as New York, and a sommlssion was appointed by the legislature to Inquire into the expediency of consolidating the olty of New York and the various municipalities and towns In the state of New York composing what the New Yorkers were pleased to term its suburbs—Brooklyn, for Instance, with a population of 1,100,000. Attar much discussion for and against thie project the commission prepared a charter for the Incorporations of tine consolidated dtlaa. This charter provided for the consolidation of the following towns and counties:

The olty of New York, the county of Kings (in which Brooklyn is situated), the town of West Chester and portions of the towns of Pelham and East Chester, Long Island City, the towns at Newtown, Flushing, Jamaica, Hemsted and Rockaway.

The commission in a report last month figured out that the Greater New York would have a population of 8,000,000 and a total area of 81T.77 square miles. The population of New York was put at 1,801,789, which Is in excess of the census of 1890t. Brooklyn and the towns in Kings county that will be taken Into the new town by the bill Just passed, are credited with a population of 996,27a. The towns in West Chester and Richmond counties, which take in Staten Island, furnish the other 800,0001, which would give the now city a population of 3,000,000. There is no doubt of the bill becoming a law as the governor has expressed himself in favor of it.

HE MAY RETIRE.

Revival of the Rumors of Gladstone's Resignation.

COMMESTS OF THE BRITISH PAPERS.

Falling Eyesight aud the luflruiMlon of AfgQ Given as the Reason—Earl of Roseberry and Earl, Spencer

Spoken of us Premier.

GLADSTONE MAY QUIT.

LONDON", Feb. 28.—The Chronicle says that tho retirement of Mr. Gladstone Is imminent. It Is almost an open secret that his eyesight is no longer eqital to even the least important dutieft of a political leader. All stories of diBsention or disappointment at the legislation being balked may be dismissed as wholly unaflectlng his decision. When Mr. Gladstone resigns the wand it will be because his hand can no longer wield It, and for no other reason whatever. It Is probable that no decision has yet been reached as to the moment of hi6 resignation. It Is announced that Mr. Sexton, member of parliament for Kerry, has already taken steps to obtain pledges with regard to home rule in the event of Lord Roseberry or the eafi of Spencer becoming premier.

Wants Roseberry to Rule.

The Daily News says that Mr. Gladstone has taken no step in the direction of resigning. The earl of Roseberry's visit, to the queen had no relation, It adds, to the current political rumors. The Daily News, further commenting on the rumors about Mr. Gladstone, says that in view of his age it is only right that the liberals should' consider the future. If the infirmities of age make his onerous duties irksome It would be inhuman to keep Jtr. Gladstone at his post merely because of a difference of opinion prevailing in reference to the choice of his successor. The Daily News then strongly recommends the earl of Roseberry, but adds that there will be no whisper of discontent with Mr. Gladstone's supremacy so long as he is willing to remain supreme.

Early Retirement Inevitable. Tho Standard believes it is a fact that Mr. Gladstone's eyesight is growing much worse and that ail operation will soon be necessary. Recognizing this fact Mr. Gladstone informed his collegues that his early retirement was inevitable, but he hoped that it would be ouly temporary. Ho told them that he would resume the premiership should his eyes become strong enough to warrant it.

The Times thinks that the denial of Mr. Gladstone's actual resignation may be accepted without question by those unable to adopt the inference that the alarm in the radical camp was altogether causeless, but it can hardly be doubted that a semi-official denial signifies a postponement of the crisis. Lord Rosebery's leadership would be far more satisfactory to the country generally than that of any other Gladstonian.

Rosebery's Sudden Recall.

It is now recalled that some astonishment was caused on Saturday last by the fact that the earl of IJosebcry, secretary of state for foreign affairs, while on his way to visit the prince and princess of Wales at Sandringham, was hurriedly called back to tho foreign office by a dispatch which was handed to him at Newmarket. He returned to London by a special train and went immediately to the foreign office. It is now stated that Rosebery's return was due to an important announcement made by Mr. Gladstone to one of the cabinet ministers, and it is said that this announcement practically amounted to a statement that he had decided to forward his resignation to her majesty.

Gladstone In Sensitive.

An intimate friend of Mr. Gladslon has been quoted as saying that the premier was deeply affected at the criticisms leveled at him by his friends, and that he is apparently impressed with the belief that tho liberals are ungrateful and that his best course under all the circumstances of the case is to resign the premiership.

This seems to be about the situation of affairs, and apparently it will so remain until a de finite announcement Is made by Mr. Gladstone himself.

Earl Spencer for l'remler.

The Evening News says that the Karl of Rosebery has been offered the premiership and that he has declined it. The same paper says that the premiership was later offered to Earl Spencer, first lord of the admiralty, and that he has accepted it. The Evening News says that Mr. Gladstone's resignation goes into effect at East?r.

Boili Clulin to He Innocent whh Their l.a*t ItrcatliH—On* or Their Number .-.Spared—Thc!r Crime a Cold-

Hlootled One.

WEST PLAINS, MO., Feb. 2S.— Monday night, about 11:30 several hundred men, supposed to be inhabitants of Ozark county, Mo., Fulton and Baxter counties. Ark., assembled at Mountain Home, Ark., for the purpose of lynching Anderson Carter and Bud Montgomery, alias Jasper Newton. The mob overpowered the jailer and guards, took their guns and demanded their keys. K. C. Smith, representative of Baxter county, made a half-hour speech and begged that the law be allowed to take its course. Tho men listened in sullen silence to his talk and that of others and then went about their work of vengeance. They" unlocked the doors and proceeding t.o the oells occupied by the murderers fired volley after volley at the helpless men who vainly begged for mercy. After about twenty Bhots the firing ceased.

Carter was dead, but Newton was found to be alive and he asked for water. This was given him, and then the mob riddled his body with bullets.

One Man Spared.

Both died protesting their Innocence, and only asked that they might be released from their shackles. According to a previous agree. Ment the life of Bart Carter, one of the trio who confessed, was spared, and it is thought he will be given a life sentence in the penitentiary. He was forced to do what he did by his father, Anderson Carter. He told where the money was, and went with a posso and recovered 81,100 of It. Bart Carter says Anderson Carter did the planning and Newton the killing.

Their Crime.

The crime for whioli they were held was the killing of Hunter Wilson in Baxter county, Ark., December 18. While Wilson was sitting with his wife by the fire the men entered the house,killed him instantly, very nearly killed his wife, robled the house of $1,100, and after heaping coals of fire upon Wilson's body made their escape. Mrs. Wilson crawled to a neighbor's and gave the alarm. William MeAnlnoh was arrested for the crime, but had been released a fow days ago. The crime was a cold-blooded one. The Carters had the reputation of having killed a man In Texas county, and Newton, whose real name was Montgomery, was wanted in Clay county for a crime committed fifteen years ago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 28.—Judge Wing devoted the secoud day of his address to the jury in Coughlln's behalf to denunciation of Mrs. Foy and Mrs. Conklin. He did not spare either of them.

Mr. Wing declared the former to ba a half-crazed blackmailer, who Was in danger of the penitentiary for her offenses. Open perjury was charged against Mrs. Conklin. Tho latter was constantly referred to sneeringly as "the friend of Lizzie Foy." In Mr. Wing's opinion Mrs. Foy is demented on the subject of thu Cronin murder.

The attorney accused the state of breaking up the home of Andrew Foy solely for the purpose of sustaining a theory. He accused Mrs. Conklin of playing upon the demented notions of Mrs. Foy, by making her gifts of money and other valuables, to assist the state in its unholy prosecution of Daniel Coughlin. Mr. Wing consumed the en tire day in analyzing the testimony of these two women.
