The letters which Colonel Breckinridge bad written to Miss Tollard after the alleged encasement in 1S53 were produced by Mr. Uutterworth, and afforded considerable fun. the Colonel himself laughing heartily. Mr. Uutterworth was unable to decipher them, and declared that a man who- wrote such a hand should be punished. Attorney Stf;ll tackled them with the same fruitless result. Colonel lirecklnrldge had two or three times suggested "better let me read them." and was llnally permitted to lo so. He arose, faced the Jury, and reread the epistles In hi3 effective, mellow tones. Uc-Klnnlng- at h!s conclusion. Mr. Uutterworth told the Jury that Inherent probabilities arising from the course of human nature were to be considered more deeply than the statements of witnesses. The question was not whether William C. P. Breckinridge had violated any ordinance, human or divine, hail been guilty of moral turpitude, conduct which brings upon him condemnation, but whether those two parties had agreed that he was to become her husband and she his wife. To awaken horror before the public there had been a tale that Colonel lireckinridge had led astray a guiltless little girl, and had led her down the path of nine years of immorality to a marriage contract ruthlessly violated. The Jury was to determine whether there had been any such guiltless little girl, whether she bad not been a mature and knowing woman. The Major denied that the woman canio to court to rtdress a great wrong. No wrong could be redressed in that way. Nor hid she wanted the balm of monay, for Fhe has said there was none. Her motives did not rise to the quality of revenge, nor even of hate, but j-ent abroad to every home a leaven she knew to be vile, the influence of which was measureless. "For what motive does the dssperate woman walk on any stager he asked. "She deliberately turned from everything that man or woman could desire, ana proclaimed her shame. This is ft vestibule of a wider stage upon which ehe desires to enter. Is it the riht of any Individual to corrupt public morals by the excuse of seeking reparation for wrong? What is there of reparation for wrong but to go home to her mother's fireside, to Him who alone can grant reparation for wrong?" Miss Pollard's early life was not what it ehould have been, he continued, but was what her letters showed her to be. It would be said, "You, Mr. Uutterworth, are defending sin;" but no, I have a little family of my own, one' son who had to fight the battle of life against fearful odds. No, the Major said, he was defending the standard of womanhood, the virtue of city and of country girls. No man could say that seduction was possible under the circumstances which had been portrayed here. He protested against such a standard being raised for virtue. As for his client, no one knew through what mire that man had been dragged, and such was the penalty of iln. He did not want the Jury carried ' away by the whisper floating in the air that a verdict for the defendant would be a ratification of his sin. He asked them also not to commend a woman who had borne herself tis this plaintiff had, not to elevate her for the degradation of him. Buch a verdict would mean to the girls that virtue was but a cloak to be thrown off or put on. American womanhood should be vindicated by the standard to which wives and mothers must be held. At ten minutes after 3 o'clock Major Butterworth finished. There was some consultation among the attorneys, and then Mr. Wilson, stating that he was hoarse. Jtsked the court to adjourn, so the crowd dispersed and several gentlemen pressed forward to congratulate the lawyer. "Will Han for Congress Ajrnln. FRANKFORT, Ky., April 12. A letter to a personal friend In this city was received from Colonel Breckinridge yesterday. It states positively that he will make the race for Congress at all hazards. The following

extract from the letter will show the tenor of the epistle: "I see from the statements going around through the papers that in the event of an adverse verdict here I would withdraw' from the race for Congress. I am In this congressional fight to the bitter end. I am not going to be on the defensive, but am going to make an agrredaive fight," OBITUARY, The 31arqnls IJe Tnlljrnnd, Formerly the Doc De 131 no.

MAIL THIEF CAUGHT

He Turns Out to Be an Ex-Letter Carrier of South Bend. JInrilerers of Stephen (Jeer Pleaded GuiltyFatal Railroad Accident at Lal'orte Other Stute Sews. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SOUTH REND, Ind., April 12.-Elward Hoone, recently a mall carrier here, was arrested at a late hour to-nicht charged with robbing the government malls. It Is believed his arrest means the partly clearing up, at least, of the mysterious robbing of mall3 which has been going on in this city for nine months. 'Boone is a son of Philip p. Boone. Boone resided on Colfax avenue. In one of Edward li. Burger's houses, but lately moved to his father's home on the same avenue, leaving some back rent due. This afternoon Mr. Berger took occasion to clean up the house formerly occupied by Boone, and In going through the rubbish he found a letter lying on a shelf, addressed to Simon Yenn, the county treasurer. The letter had already been opened and Mr. Berger glanced over the contents. He was surprised.. to find it contained a money order payable to Mr. Yenn. Besides this there was a letter from the remitter, Henry C. Snure, of Mishawaka. and a postage stamp for the return of the receipt. The money order called for $2.17 and was for the payment of an assessment made by the Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company. All county treasurers collect these assessments and forward them to the company. The letter had come in by a morning mall and was likely thrown to Boone for delivery. It would seem that Instead of delivering it, Boone had placed the letter in his pocket and taken It to his h. me. The order was Issued Feb. 28 and as Treasurer Yenn failed to receive the assessment, he Inquired of Mr. Snure, who replied that the money had been sent. A duplicate-of the money order was then Issued by the Mlshawaka postoffiee. It naturally being supposed that the original order was lost In transmission through the mails. This duplicate was date! Feb. 28 and camo duly to hand. But to-day the missing order came to light and as soon as Mr. Berger could reach the county treasurer's ollice he turned it over to Mr. Yenn. who, In turn, notified the deputy postmaster. It was decided to place Boone under arrest. He was located at the Windsor Hotel and brought to the police station where he was locked uo. HOTII PLEADED Gl'fr.TY.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BRAZIL, Ind., April 12. The action of the United Mine Workers' convention ordering the miners out on April 21 has created some dissension and considerable comment among the operators and miners of this county. The question Is how can the miners undergo a strike of any considerable duration, as they have not been receiving half time the past eight months. J. II. McClelland, superintendent of the Brazil Plock Coal Company, when questioned regarding the probability of the men breaking their present contract, said: "I don't believe the block coal miners will break their contract. It would be a great surprise to me if they did." lie seemed to be somewhat doubtful of the bituminous miners and would give no opinion regarding their actions after May 1. Mr. McClelland claimed that it was useless to predict what course the miners would pursue and consequently he had nothing to say on the subject. Mr. Mcintosh, of Isaac Mcintosh & Co., gave it as his opinion that there would be no strike of the block coal miners before the making of a new scale. He said he contemplated treating his men fairly and believed they would continue work reprardloss of the action of the I'nited Mine Workers. Another prominent operator and several influential citizens well versed in the coal business and feeling of the miners generally throughout the county were fV the same opinion. N It H understood that the operators of this d'.strlct wiU be as lenient as possible with their employes In arranging a scale for the coming year, and many believe the mn will continue work. This, however, doeT not sprly to the bituminous mm, as it is probible that hey, being members of the United Mine Workers' Union, will comply with its orders. Three ro-irsentative lilocl: coal miners were askel their opinion on the subject. They did hot believe the men would break their contract now. but claimed thp.t there would probably ba trcvb'o the 1st of next month, when a cut wa? i.Tfde, rrovidinr It was as gret an had been predicted. It will be remembered that when it was reported two months ago that the block coal operators would ask their employes to release them from their contract and accept a reduction the workmen declared they would not submit to a cut. Tlie Proposed Scale. COLUMBUS, O.. April 12. T. A. Bradley, of Pennsylvania, and John Fahey, of Ohio, were to-day. in the United Mine Workers convention, elected to complete the executive board. The annual meetings hereafter are to Ik? held on the second Tuesday of February. The scale of mining ratc3 adopted to go Into effect when the strike or suspension of work on the 21st Inst, shall have won the day for an advance In wages 13 79 cents at Pittsburg, 7') cents In Ohio and Indiana and the customary rate In the other States an 1 districts. Anthracite coal Is not included In the scale. The executive board was given power to change district boundaries when the same is deemed best for the good of the order. The secret work of the order Is to b? printed in the Slavic language. Hon. N". It. HyseU. an ex-niiner. was Indorsed for assistant United States district attorr.?y for southern Ohio. President John Mcllr.de th!1 afternoon oftered a regulation, which was adopted amid great applause, declaring that in cae of any strike the miner will maintain law and iro. 2Ct property. Th? following delegates were ekcte l to the national convention of the American F .'deration of Iibor to be held in Denver in December: John McMrlJe. of Ohio; Patrick MciiriJe. of Pennsylvania; P. II. Penna, of Indiana, and John Nugent, of Ohio. The convention completed its work and. adjourned sine die. Will Obey the Order. WCIIt CITY, CoL. April 12. The miner

OXL.Y :tOO LOCK KU OIT. Windy Chicago Ilnlldin Contractor j Kill led In Tlielr Iurioe. CHICAGO, April 12. The general lockout of the Chicago building trades workmen set for to-day proved a grand failure. Instead of the sixty thousand men whom the contractors claimed would be thrown out of employment less than throe hundred were affected. A new organization of boss builders, known as the Central Building League, announced several days ago that, owing to the numerous strikes the employers would take a decided stand against organized labor, and to-day was set for a lockout in which, it was claimed, practically every contractor and boss builder in the city would participate. But the contractors who advocate the general lockout were not in the majority. There was not unanimity among them. IrojoeI Labor Conference. PITTSBURG, April .12. Officers of every labor organization in Pittsburg yesterday received a secret circular calling for a conference in Philadelphia April 28 to consider a consolidation of all labor unions of the country In order to present a solid front when demanding concessions from employers and legislators. The circular is signed by Joseph H. Buchanan, Xo. 45 Park Place, New York, who, while not an official of any labor organization, claims to be a representative of all, and has good backing. The call for the conference seems to be the result of the failure of the Knights of Iabor and the American Federation of Labor to reach any definite understanding on the matter of consolidation, which has been pending for a long time. It is evident from the tone of the circular that the promoters of the movement are not in love with the. Knights of Labor, and that organization will have but a minor Interest In the "grand union of labor organizations." 4 Jenklnn Will .ot He Impeached. PITTSBURG, Pa., April 12. The congressional committee appointed to Investigate the action of Judge Jenkins in issuing his famous Injunction against the employes of the Northern Pacific railroad, prohibiting them from striking was here to-day, en route to Washington. Colonel Stone", who remained over, said: "While Judge Jenkins certainly went too far in making such an order, the committee did not discover sufficient evidence In the testimony to warrant a recommendation for his Impeachment. He was sincere, to all appearances. In his interpretation of the law covering the case, but his interpretation gave him grounds for too strong a ruling. The committee will. In all probability, make a recommendation for the adoption of laws that will cover such cases without providing an opiortunity for mistakes. " Air Hrtikemon Klect Of II cent. COLUMBUS, O., April 12.

A PARISIAN IIIlHCKI.MtlDGi:. The Anthony CoiMstock of Paris In n Scandal That Led to ti Trnnedy. Letter in Philadelphia Telegraph. Mile. Alice Pinard. a skilled musician and a composer of note, arrayed herself in full bridal costume, locked herself in her room, lit several furnaces of charcoal and was found In the morning stone dead. She left a note stating that she wished to carry the secret of her life Intact Into the grave and earnestly entreated no one to pry into It. Human nature Is so constructed that if one is requested not to investigate a secret the whole world instantly Investigates diligently. So It was In this case, and frivolous Paris is chuckling in glee over the fact that a former Senator, an exrastor, M. Dide. was the direct cause of the poor girl's suicide. It seems that Mile. Pinard was madly in love with this gentleman, and he reciprocated the attachment. and they took various journeys together, and he wrote her numerous touching letters in which h called her his "dear little wife." etc.. and swore that as soon as he succeeded In divorcing his first wife he would marry Mile. Pinard. He obtained his divorce, said nothing about the fact, but went peacefully away and married another woman. Three days ago the deserted Alice discovered that the man she loved and trusted had betrayed her, and went to his apartment nnd made a most fearful scene before several people who were dining with the newly married pair. The pastor, it Is said, toi l her that he still loved her and had married merely for money. If Mile. Pinard had been a hard-headed Anglo-Saxon she would have surd the ex-Senator for breach of promise and obtained heavy damages, which are accorded even In Fran:-?; but bclnpr a sentimental Parisian, she merely Invoked the malediction of heiven rpon the betrayer's household and told htm she would kill herself. He calmly replied tint people who threatened to commit suicide never carried out the threat, but It appears that thl3 lady was the exception which proves that rule. M.

THE BERING SEA BILL

British Lords Seemingly Anxious to Pass the 3Ieasure. Head the Second Time Last Xifirlit Canadians Unnecessarily AlarmedGeneral Foreign News. LONDON, April 12. In the IIou?e of Lords to-day the Earl of Kimbcrly, in moving the second reading of the liering sea bill, reviewed the whole course of the arbitration and expressed approval of the action of the Marquis of Salisbury in submitting the question to arbitration. The Earl remarked that a precedent had been established which was of the greatest Importance, and expressed the belief that so soon as the legislation necessary to carry out ths provisions of the award had been completed a convention would be entered Into between the United States and Great Britain with the object of settling the claims arising out of th illegal seizure of British ships. In making the award lawful the government had fulfilled the obligations imposed upon it, and the bill now before the House would terminate this controversy In a manner honorable to both nations. The Marquis of Salisbury expressed the desire that the bill should be passed ns rapidly as possible, and thought th? members of the House might congratulate themselves upon the issue of th controversy. He concurred with the Earl of Kimberly In expressing the obligations which they were under to the distinguished men who formrd the tribunal of arbitration and eulogized the services of the late Baron Hannen. Respecting the regulations for carrying out the award, the Marquis expressed the opinion that they were not perfect in all respects, but any points which needed improvement would be discovered by experience. Baron Hershell also praised the manner in which the arbitration had been conducted, and expressed himself as highly gratified with the result. The Bering sea bill was then read for the second time. In the House of Commons tc-day Sydney Buxton, replying to a question as to whether the government could lay before the House the actual terms In which Canada's agreement to the Bering sea bill was conveyed, said that the Foreign Ollice, at the proper time, will decide what correspondence can bo given to the House. Regarding the question as to whether any condition was attached by Canada to the agreement lu regard to compensation to Canadian sealers. Air. Buxton sail Canada had - attached considerable importance to the question of compensation for illegal seizures made during past years. But as to that matter the United States government had intimated that so soon as the legislation for the enforcement cf the award was completed it will be prepared to enter Into a convention with Great Britain providing for the assessment and settlement of the British claims. Mr. Buxton corrected a statement, which was attributed to him a few days ago, claiming that he was misreported when he said that Canada had not asked for compensation for illegal seizures of sealing vessels. An Innecesminry HeMolutlon. WASHINGTON, April 12. There was no necessity for the adoption by the British Columbian Legislature yesterday of the resolution praying the Queen to withhold her assent to the seal legislation until some arrangement had been made with the United States for a settlement of the claims of the sealing vessels captured by the United States prior to the modus Vivendi. As a mater of fact, the United States government had already agreed to a creation of a commission that shall adjudicate these claims. The subject came before the Paris tribunal of arbitration as the result of one of the treaty articles. The stipulation was that if the tribunal found that the United States had no authority to exercise jurisdiction over Bering sea, and, consequently, had no right to make seizures prior to that time, the tribunal should investigate the circumstances of each seizure of a British vessel. It was not to assess damages, or even to pass upon the question of the liability of the United States to the owners of the vessels, but simply to report what is known legally as Undines of facts, such as the location of a vessel at the time of seizure relative to. the threemile limit, the value of her carso and such details. This was done and the result was the aggregation cf cblm rir.st tu United States for about $2,0GO,GO0. While the United States government was not technically bound to pay these claims, it has been desirous from the beginning to give effect to the spirit as well as to the letter of the arbitration, and, therefore, as already stated, it had agreed to submit these claims to the adjudication of a special commission which will be composed of reprepresentatlves of the United States an3 Great Britain, with a third nation holding the balance of power In decisions.

Senator Hill's Late Speech. I listened the other day with considerable interest to the distinguished Senator from Indiana in his fierce denunciations of tha people In this country who have been fortunate enough to accumulate a competence. He nearly exhausted the vocabulary of abuse in the .anathemas which he hurled against them. He rebuked their "narrow and corroding selfishness." their "dangerous pretensions and intolerable . arrogance;" he described their "brutal ' dictation;" he uppraided "their unjust, relentless, unsparing and insolent conduct;" he pictured their wealth as the "illegitimate offspring of governmental paternalism." and characterized them as without "KratltU'le or' love of country;" he Imputed to them an intention and willingness to comma perjury and other crimes "for which the convict stripes of the penitentiary are the oi.lv punishment," and then, having summarily adjudged them guilty, without court or jury, he declares mem to be "nt associates for thieves, housebreakers, formers and cutthroats." and. not satisfied with this terrible humiliation which he infiictea upon them, and notwithstanding his wellknown amiable and forgiving disposition, with one fell swoop he consigned them all "to everlasting hell." Thn. Mr. President, he calmly and seriously said to us, "I am loath to say these .things." He need not have given us that assurance; of course we all keenly realized it. We knew with what reluctance he assumed his unpleasant task and with what lack of eajrerness he embraced the afforded opportunity. Mr. President, these violent and unseemly aenunciations these arguments, if they can be dignified as such r.'.ay answer for thi hustings of Indiana, but I regret to hear them in the Senate of the United States. Notwithstanding this terrible arraignment or tne men of wealth, to whlcn I have briefly alluded, I venture to sjeak a few words in their defense. 1 speait more especially of the men of means in my own State. 1 cannot, of course, sneak for tsos of Indiana they may be all" that they are piinted by the senior Senator from tnat State.
