JACKSON ADMITS IT.

Says He Was Guilty of Improper Relations With Pearl Bryan.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 27.—In an interview with a reporter in his cell yesterday Scott Jackson confessed to having improper relations with Pearl Bryan. This is the first time he has made such admission, heretofore claiming that he was only mixed up in the crime because of his desire to help his friend Wood out of a difficulty.

This last confession by Jackson is considered a most important one, and supplies one more link in the chain of circumstantial evidence upon which the state will probably be compelled to rely to convict the murderers of the unsuspecting young woman.

Attorneys for Jackson and Walling announce that they will make every effort to prevent the removal of the prisoners to the Kentucky side of the river.

HAVE A LIVELY TIME

Tariff Crisis In the Senate Causes a Tempestuous Debate.

ADDRESS BY SENATOR CARTER.'

Chairman of the Republican National Committee Resents the Alleged Attempt to Force Himself and Associates Out of the Party—Mr. Teller Takes a Hand In the Fray—Day In the House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. {27.—The tariff crisis in the senate yesterday brought another session of intensely dramatic action, of impetuous debate and of stormy personal colloquiy. The speech of Senator Carter of Montana, one of the five Republican senators who voted against proceeding with the tariff bill, was the main formal event of the day. There was added interest in the speech owing to Mr. Carter's position as chairman of the Republican national committee. The senator used very plain words in denouncing what he termed the movement to drive him and his sil-j ver associates out of the Republican party.

This, however, was but the prelude to more stirring events. Mr. Hoar ques-, tioned Mr. Carter as to whether he intended to defeat any protective tariff bill unless senators surrendered their convictions to him, and whether his construction of the Minneapolis platform agreed with the construction given to it by President Harrison. Mr. Carter responded with great vigor that Mr. Harrison's course had not been all that was desired, but it was at least a beacon of hope for the future. But it was not the construction applicable to the situation in the senate today.

Mr. Gear of Iowa sharply questioned Mr. Carter upon the circumstances of framing the financial plank of the Minneapolis platform, bringing out that Senator Jones of Nevada and Teller of Colorada had taken part in shaping the document. 1

Mr. Carter asserted that while this was true, the men who framed that' plank never dreamed that the English language would permit such misconstruction of its terms. Thereupon Mr. Gear, referring to Mr. Carter's conduct of the national campaign of 1892, asked if this plank was not the only one by which he (Carter) and the senator from Colorado (Teller) sought to carry the state of Colorado for the Republican party. Mr. Carter replied that the plank was so accepted because the Re-1 publican party had always kept its promises and it was now incumbent on that party to again redeem its promises.

The references to Mr. Teller's part in framing the platform brought Him to his feet with an explanation of what had been intended and a fiery denunciation of the bimetallism of Mr. Sherman. The latter in turn arraigned the dishonesty of the policy of free silver which would pay the laboring man in a 50 cent dollar. Mr. .Sherman prophesied that even Colorado would reject the free silver idea and accept true bimetallism.

To this Mr. Teller rejoined with intense felling that Colorado would never follow the course suggested by the Ohio senator, and if she did he (Teller) would cease to represent that state. He predicted that free silver was not dead, as Mr. Sherman had asserted, but that it was a lively corpse which would rise in the sentate to perlex Mr. Sherman. Mr. Teller closed with the impassioned utterance that the glorious past of the Republican party would be obliterated if it committed the infamy of following the financial leadership of Mr. Sherman.

The latter part of the day was given to the Cuban resolutions, Mr. White of California, arguing that the executive was the proper branch to grant recognition of belligerency.

Contested lilection Case.

The Van Horn-Tarsney contested election case, from the Kansas City (Mo.) district, occupied the attention of the house yesterday. The contestee, Mr. Tarsney, spoke in his own behalf and two Republicans, Messrs. Powers of Vermont and Parker of New Jersey, opposed the report of the majority of the committee to seat the contestant. The other speakers were Messrs. Burton (Rep., Mo.), Kyle (Dem., Miss.) and Prince (Rep., Ills.) The vote on the case will be taken today, and although there is considerable defection on the Republican side, which favors the minority recommendation that the case shall be recommitted and the testimony reopened, the indications are that the majority report will be adopted.

The senate amendments to the house bill to extend the time in which the government, under the act of 1891, can bring suits to annul patents to lands in railroad and wagonroad grants were agreed to. One of the senate amendments reduces the extension from five to one year.

Cannot Use the Mail.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—The action of the postoffice department in refusing the use of the mails to various bond and investment companies was sustained in an opinion rendered yesterday by Attorney General Harmon.

Am.'

bassador Bayard. The report is very brief.

cedented. Representatives of the1 United States in foreign countries are properly and 'exclusively, as to the regulation of the propriety or discreetness of their conduct, under the direction and oontrol of the executive department of the government, and any interference by congress in this respect can have only the effect of detracting from the dignity and usefulness of our foreign service." The report is signed by Messrs. McOreary (Dem., Ky.), Tucker (Dem., Va.), Money (Dem., Miss.) and Dinsmore.

DISRUPTION BEGINS.

Major Glen of the Salvation Army Sends In His Resignation.

NEW YOKE, Feb. 27.—Manifestations of the much talked of revolution in the Salvation Army took a more definite form last night. Major Peter Glen, the oldest officer in point of service in the headquartsrs staff, who for several years has had charge of the field department, sent in his resignation, giving as his reason that he believed Commander and Mrs. Ballington Booth had been dismissed from its ranks without just oause. Mr. Glen's wife, also a

major in the service, joined in the resignation. Major Glen said in explanation: "I spent Tuesday evening with Ballington Booth, remaining with him until nearly midnight. When I came home my wife and I for many sleepless hours discussed the situation. We decided that our only course was to tender our resignations. Feeling as we do, we cannot longer remain in the army. Ballington Booth was in no way responsible for our action. He did not even know that we contemplated it. We have no plans for the future. If our late commander engages in any evangelistic work where our services are needed we will, of course, go with him. For the present I shall act as his secretary."

Mr. and Mrs. Ballington Booth are still at Montclair, N. J., where they intend to remain for several weeks' to rest. Mr. Booth has received letters from pastors of churches in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston asking him to conduct a series of meetings. He is in communication also with an undenominational committee of represenative men of. this city, who are offering him whatever financial support he needs to carry on independent evangelical work

ROBBERS STRUNG UP

Mob Cuts Short the Career of the Wichita Falis,Desperadoes.

HANGED IN FRONT OF THE BANK.

Foster Crawford and "The Kid" Pay the Penalty For Murder and Robbery—BraKen Remarks of the Latter Celebrity.

Swung Into Eternity With a Curse Upon His Lips—Crawford Confesses.

WICHITA FALLS, Tex., Feb. 27.—Last night a mob of several thousand persons attacked the jail here where Foster Crawford -and "The Kid," who robbed the City National bank Tuesday and killed Cashier Dorsey, were confined. After a show of resistance on the part of the authorities, the mob battered in the jail doors and forcibly took posession of the prisoners.

The two men were taken to the bank which they attempted to rob and an improvised scaffold was erected. The first impulse of the half crazed mob was to burn the prisoners, but calmer counsel prevailed. "The Kid" refused to say a word, and those having him in charge yanked him onto the box. The scene was a weird one. One had on high heeled boots, black pants and a deep red flannel shirt, which added a gruesome brilliancy to tho scene. In a moment the rope was about his neck and a man shinned and fixed one end across the cross bar. All this time "The Kid" was jeering at the audience, laughing and cursing. He never quivered. He was asked to say what he wanted and he would be given a hearing.

Wanted to Die Game.

He said: "By God, that's all right. If you are impatient, swing me up now. I ain't afraid to die, not a d— bit of it. Pull the rope, by God."

A voice in the audience: "You're going to die now. Tell us your name." "I don't give a d— if I do. It is Younger Lewis, and my father and mother reside in Neosha, Mo." "Any message?" fromNa voice in the crowd. "Well, tell my father I was not scared a bit that I died like a nervy man." "Anything for your mother?" "No, not a word. She will see the message to the old man. Say, you fellows go and look in that dugout and you 'will find $10,000 there." "The Kid," or Younger Lewis, as he at the last moment said he was, continued chatting and laughing with the crowd, poking fun at them and cursing for a moment, and then some one yelled, "Time's up!"

In an instant he was pulled up above the throng. He never quivered or kicked. Men on the frontier for years said no gamer man ever died. He was the coolest man' in all the great throng.,

Crawford Makes a Confession.

All the while Crawford was a spectator of the scene. He began to weaken and confessed, giving some valuable information. He placed the responsibility for the crime on "The Kid." The mob pulled him on the improvised platform next to the bank he had attempted to rob and his head was about on a level with the dangling feet of his companion. He asked for Captain Burnett. The latter was a spectator in the crowd. He went to Crawford and had along talk.

Crawford had worked on Burnett's ranch for years and was long a trusted man. He began stealing his employer's stock, however, and associating with territory outlaws. Crawford confessed to the robbery, but denied the murder.

When they began to look for a second rope he begged for whisky. It was given him. He talked and then begged for more. He again addressed the crowd in Commaiiche, English and Spanish. The rope soon arrived, and as it was put about his neck he fell either in a faint or from tho effects of the liquor he had drank. Ho was soon struiig up along with his companion.
