"DEAD LINE" DRAWN

WALLIXG CATGUT FLIItTIXG OUT OF NEWPORT JAIL WIXDOW. Will Wood Mnkes Another Statement to Cincinnati Police thnt Incriminates Scott Jnrkion. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. NEWPORT, Ky., April 3.-JalIer John BItzer has drawn another "dead line" In the Jail at Newport. It was drawn for Walling. When Jack.on was placed in his cell a "dead line" was drawn, over which none of the prisoners In the Jail could step, and In this way all communication with the pris oner was prevented. This was not necessary In Walllng's case, because he was on tho second floor, and no one could get near him. Afterward the jailer decided to allow the men to take dally exercise. The hall in which Walling paraded is longer than Jackson's, rnd he had the benefit of a window overlooking Southgate street. Walling became venturesome, and would reach out his arms between the bars and wave hl hands at people. If a woman passed and gave him a glance. It was the signal for a violent waving of a handkerchief. The fellow made strenuous efforts to flirt, and seemed disappointed when he did not get any answering wave of the hand. The matter wan reported to Jailer Bitzer. He gave Walling a severe lecture, and then drew the "dead line." This line was drawn several feet from the window, and the best Walling can do now is to look out from a distance. If ho attempts to step across the line it means steady imprisonment Jn his cell until the day of trial. All day Thursday a photographer kept his place at a convenient spot, ready to snap the murderer the moment he made an effort to attract attention, but the photographer was doomed to disappointment. The rule was already In effect. Jailer BItzer Intends to take every precaution In handling the prisoners, Walling and Jackson, while they remain la his charge. Friday morning he appeared before the Board off Council and asked permission to fit up gome rooms in the jail, at his own expense, in which he and his family will reside as long as the men are his prisoners. He has been living In the East End, fully half a mile from the Jail. He was readily granted permission, and will begin preparations at crce. Two rooms will be fitted up on the second floor, near Waliing's cell. The kitchen and office are located on the ground floor. Bitzer will be In a position to watch every movement of the accused men. Attorneys Washington and Shepard filed an affidavit In the Campbell County Circuit Court saying that It will be necessary to have evidence of witnesses, nonresidents of Kentucky, as follows: E. E. Hackelman, Dr. H. A. Smith. Dr. T. H. Way, Miss Warnick, Archie Bulger and William Campbell, all of Cincinnati; also, J. M. Hurtz, Ed Hunt, Prof. Clayton ani Prof. Ou?er, of Indiana; J. W. Sparks, Murray Allison, Walter Daniels, John Bcrey, J. Ward Walker and Ham Strickland, all of or near Greencastle, Ind; also. Fred Albion, of Canal Dover, O. An order has been issued for taking of depositions. Waliing's attorneys have prepared a list of questions to be asked Fred Albion in order to elicit testimony from him tending to show that Walling went to Udder's Hotel early Friday, and not Saturday morning. Questions have been prepared for Dr. H. A. Smith, dean of the Ohl3 Dsrttal College; Dr. T. H. Way. of the college: Mlas Warnick. operative secretary of the college, in order to Fhow that Walling was at work at the cc'des;e on the last two days of January and the first of February. William Campbell and Archie Bulger, members of the Caldwell Guards, will be called on to disprove Geo. Jackson's story about the puards drilling on the night of Jan. 31. E. E. Hackelman, a fellcw-studcnt and friend of Waliing's, will be called on to support Waliing's alibi. BBSSSBBSSSBaBBSSBBBSBsSBB WILL. WOOD'S STATEMENT. The Minister's Son Tells Ills Story Afrnln at Cincinnati. CINCINNATI, April 3. Will Wood, of Greencastle. Ind., who will be one of the principal witnesses against Jackson and Walling, has furnished the prosecution with a statement which he claims embodies all he knows about the parties to the celebrated case. Yesterday the young man, accmpanied by his father and his counsel. Major C. It. Blackburn, met Comonwealth Attorney Lockhart, of Campbell county. Sheriff Plummer and detectives dim and McDermott in the office of Chief Deitsch. To his attorneys and the officers he delibejrately recited all he knows about Jackson and the ill-fated girl. Major Blackburn subjected his youthful client to a rigid crossexamination, bringing , out every point. After the statement, which Wood Is expected to repeat on the witness stand, and which is expected to go a long way toward tightening the rope about the neck of Jackson, the authorities expressed themselves as highly pleased. They are now more confident than, ever of making a case against the accused, especially Jackson. Wood's statement Is a review of all that has come from him before. Ha furnished one new bit of evidence which will rave a strong bearing on the case. After Wood was arrested in South Bend and was on his way to Cincinnati with the officers he was met in Indianapolis by his uncle, the Be v. Dr. Gee, who gave him a letter from Jackson, who says: "I opened the letter in the presence of the officers and read it: " "Have made a big mistake. Don't desert me. I want you to tand by me now, If ever.' "The letter was from Jackson, and I destroyed it in the presence of the company. I came to Cincinnati, and you know the rest of the story. Of ccurse, while I have no proof as to who killed Pearl Bryan, still I am firmly of the belief that both Jackson and Walling did it, for, if they didn't do it, they are conspirators in the matter, and know all about it. I am here to tell the truth, have nothing to conceal, and am ready at any time to do all I can to clear the mystery and bring to justice the murderers of my cousin." In his statement Wood denies ever having had any improper relations with his cousin. Pearl Bryan, and says he took Jackson to her house at her request.

Dlftvhnrftp of Grlpmen Mny Cnnse a IllK Strike at !ew York. NEW YORK. April 4. The World this morning says: A complete tie-up of all the reads of the Metropolitan Traction Company Is threatened by the officers of the Amalgamated Association of Street-railway Employes of America unless the company takes back ten gripmen recently discharged. No official notification has yet been given to the traction company people, but at a meeting to be held to-morrow night at the local headquarters cf the association the matter will be ttnally decided. The officers of the association claim to have "rive thousand employes of the company enrolled and willing to leave their posts at a moment's notice. Until seven weeks ago the Amalgamated Association had no branch in New York city, but about that time tho national president. W. 8. Mahon, of Detroit, came to this city with National Organizers Terrence E. Clark, Thomas McCo'.lum and C. W. Archbold, all of Philadelphia. They went to work quietly among the men of the Metropolitan Traction Company, and, according to the statements of the officers of the association, the movement has grown rapidly. H UNTIiNG A TRAITOR RUSSIAN NIHILISTS IX AMERICA SEARCHING FOR GRGGOR lilt AS VON. He Was Implicated In the Assassination of Alexander If, nntl Is Sow Wllllnjr to Betray His Fellows. PHILADELPHIA, April 3.-Agents of a Russian patriotic society are ' in the East hunting for Gregor Krasnow, who was implicated in the plot that resulted In the assassination of Czar Alexander II, of Russia, in 18S1. Krasnow, who was then about eighteen years old, was arrested at the time1 and secured his release on bail through powerful Influences. He fled to Switzerland, and soon after came to America, living in Chicago until recently. On March 14 a story was printed to the effect that he had, after receiving the bounty of Russian refugees for a number of years, turned traitor and applied to the Russian government for a pardon, offering to enter the secret service at St. Petersburg and give the government valuable information. The principal motive for this action is said to be Krasnow's desire to obtain a portion of the fortune of 6,000,000 roubles left by his father, who died soon after his daughter, who was also implicated in the assassination, was executed. A brother of Krasnow and three of his cousins were also hanged, and these circumstances appealed strongly to the sympathies of Russians In this country and led them to supply him liberally with funds. While living in Chicago Krasnow was known as H. M. Shike. He was employed by Mayer, Engle & Co., wholesale clothiers, for twelve years, and afterwards engaged in the clothing manufactory In that city. In order to deceive the Russian police, a circumstantial story of Krasnow's death and burial was printed in a paper published at Geneva by the Russian refugees. In 1&93 the Russian authorities learned that he was still alive, and one ot the most famous detectives In St. Petersburg came to this country in search of the refugee, stimulated by an offer of a reward of the Cross of Honor and 25,000 roubles for Krasnow, dead or alive. This detective was outwitted by Krasnow and his friends, and he returned to St. Petersburg without his man. When Krasnow left Chicago recently he was followed to New York, where he was seen to meet a- well-known Chicago merchant, with whom he had been on intimate terms of friendship, and receive a sum of money from him. It is believed that it was on the advice of this gentleman that Krasnow left Chicago. The agents of the Russian societies, some of whom were in this city today, are determined to prevent Krasnow from returning to Russia if possible. They say that if he can be found and Induced to reconsider his purpose of Joining the Czar's secret service, his friends here will provide liberally for him, but if he Is determined to betray thoset who have befriended him he will have to suffer the consequences. On March 28 Krasnow eluded the men who were tracking him to New York, and he is believed to have gone to Washington for the purpose of communicating with the Russian legation. They think he will not dare to sail from New York, but will. Instead, board a European steamer, either at Baltimore or Philadelphia. Meanwhile, a close watch Is being kept for him In. the cities named. EDITOR AND NOVELIST DEAD. Thomiift Whnrlon KUled 1T Falling from n Fonrth-Story Window. ' PHILADELPHIA, April 3.

WILL NOT RESIGN

FRCXCII SENATORS DEFIED BY THE BOIHGEOIS M1MSTRY. Though Denied a Vote of Confidence and Severely Criticised, the Cnblnet Will Continue in Office. PARIS, April '3. In anticipation of a liveiy debate on the foreign policy of the gov ernment the Senate W2S crowded to-day and many Deputies, as well as most of the Ministers, were present. M. Doumer, as Minister of Finance, suDmltted a bill providing for the Madagascar credits. In supporting the proposal of M. Bissenil to defer Interpellations until after the holidays, the Premier, M. Bourgeois, declared he could not add to the explanations on the Egyptian question, which had been furnished on Tuesday. He added that the government. yesterday, had obtained, by a vote of the Chamber of Deputies, proof that the majority of that body were assured it had sufficient authority to pursue the pending negotiations and a vote In the Senate today might lessen the authority given by the Chamber of Deputies and, therefore, he begged the Senate, in the name of France, to postpone all Interpellations until the reassembling of Parliament. In spite of this appeal, a motion to defer the Interpellations was defeated, whereupon M. Bourgeois declined to reply to them. M. Millard stated that the explanations of M. Bourgeois were as Inadequate In the Chamber as in the Senate. He added that the resignation of M. Berthelot, the former Minister for Foreign Affairs, had deceived no one. All the world, he asserted, understood that M. Berthelofs retirement was an admission of blunders committed. Continu ing, M. Millard said that it was Impossible to approve the position to which France had been reduced during the last five months, both in, Egypt and in Madagascar. The internal policy of the government, he insisted, was not calculated to increase the prestige of France abroad. Thereupon, M. Millard introduced the following resolution: "The Senate, noting the declaration or the government that it cannot add to its explanations of Tuesday (on the Egyptian question), and, considering these explana tions Insufficient, refuses it a vote or conntie nee." The resolution was adopted by a vote of 155 to So. All the Ministers left the Senate alter the passage of the vote of nonconrtdence, and the Senate almost immediately afterwards adjourned until April 21. After leaving the Senate chamber the Ministers met at the Qua! d'Orsay, In order to discuss the situation. They separated at 6 o'clock in the evening, but maintained se crecy in regard to the result arrived at. At the close of the discussion, however, M. Bourgeois went to the Ely see Palace In or der to see President Faure. The Paris correspondent cf the London Times eays: 'When M. Bourgeois refused to answer. the questions put to him in the Senate, there was great agitation and several Rightists attracted attention by their interruptions. The Comte de Maille exclaimed: 'We are dealing with the Ministry of a mob.V Provost De Launay cried: 'It is the same Ministry before which was uttered the cry Vive la Commune!' "M. Bourgeois replied that he might ask the President to note the interruptions, but they were unworthy of notice." The Times correspondent adds that after to-day's experience it will henceforth be taken as the rule that the Senate cannot upset a Cabinet. The Paris correspondent of the London Times claims to have the best authority for the following explanation of the resignation of M. Berthelot as Minister of Foreign Affairs. "It appears," he says, "that after M. Berthelofs speech of March 19. which pledged, in a definite way, the policy of the government regarding Egypt and left nothing untouched, the Russian embassador. Baron De Mohrenhelm, made a communication to the French government In which, after formally declaring that he had scrupulously abstained from interfering in the domestic affairs of France, he pointed out that the present question was one of absolutely external Interest In which was involved the common action of France and Russia and that the co-operation of Russia would naturally be sought. Consequently, It seemed surprising that such a declaration should be made iin the Chamber without having communicated with the representative of Russia which left him no longer able to freely express an opinion. Prince Lebanon! Rostovsky (the Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs) hastened to approve the attitude of the Russian embassador. At the Cabinet meeting on Saturday M. Bourgoels communicated the foreging to his colleagues in the Ministry'. H is unknown what occurred at the Cabinet council, but M. Berthelot, after announcing his intention to resign, quitted the council and has .not returned to the Qual d'Orsay since." The Paris correspondent of the London Dallj' News says: "A curious part of the situation is that while the Chamber adJorned until May 17. the Senate will meet on April 21, in order to watch the foreign policy of the government and to oversee the course It may follow regarding the municipal elections. - "The great strength of the Senate Is due to the fact that it has three hundred votes in the presidential election. Every notable politician expects to: be President. Both M. Bourgeois and the Senate seem determined to fight out the quarrel, but some of the Ministers are scared at the idea that in order to keep their portlfollos they must plunge Into a dispute, and they will try to patch matters up. ;The Senate is incensed against M. Bourgeois on account of his tour in the south of France with President Faure, where he was frequently hailed with cries of 'down with the Senate!' Moreover, the rich Senators are frightened at M. Doumer9 scheme for an Income tax. But the Senate dreads mostly the influence of the Radical government on the municipal elections. The third part of the Senators, whose terms are next to be renewed, happen to be Moderates and Conservatives. Should M. Bourgeois get Radical municipalities elected throughout France, but few of the outgoing Senators would be returned. This would mean, should President Faure die or resign within four years, a Radical President of the republic, and perhaps a Radical revision of the constitution. What is hoped by the Senate is to make plain to President Faure that France is at a disadvantage with regard to the powers with the Bourgeois Cabinet. If the President takes this view h may dismiss M. Bourgeois and send from M. Kranck Chauveau. But I hardly think he will, for if he 'did. every member of the Chamber who would like to be President would refuse to vote the budget until there was a new man at the Elysee." A dispatch to the London Standard from Paris says: "The Bourgeois Cabinet will devote itself during the vacation to preparations for the municipal elections in May, which are especially important owing to the fact that the municipals form a majority of the constituency which elects the Senate. The Radicals and Socialists hope that these electors will favor the abolition of the Senate. This accounts far more than any question of foreign policy for the anxiety of the Opportunists and Conservatives to eject the Bourgeois Ministry.";Not Controlled by Turks. CONSTANTINOPLE, April 3. Miss Clara Barton, the president of the American Red Cross Society. Is much disturbed on account of reports circulated in the United States to the effect that the Tied Cross relief is belpg controlled by the Turks. This, It appears, is not the case. The Turkish government allows the agents of Miss. Barton to distribute relief funds, the orTly stipulation being that it must be done in the presence of the Turkish officials. LONDON, April 3.-The Duke of Argyll, president of the Armenian relief fund, and the Duke of Westminster, chairman of the executive committee, have issued a circular appealing for relief funds for Armenia, which pays a tribute to the work of American missionaries, who, it says, with bravery have undertaken the work in the face of many difficulties and much discouragement, and are wisely distributing relief from nineteen depots, which Sir Uhillp Currie, th British embassador, and Mr. Terrell, the United States minister, have been the means of establishing. Situation In South Africa. LONDON, April 3. Mr. Chamberlain, the Colonial Secretary, has Issued a statement calculated to calm apprehension regarding the situation In South Africa to the effect that he expects the force of SCO men now forming at Mafeking, with the forces now in Matabeleland, to be sufficient to crush the rebellion.

American Stennmhlp Whltford Taken by it Gunboat on Suaplclon." NEW YORK, April 4. The World this morning says: The reason that the steamship George W. Whltford, which belonged to Charles Schepp & Co., cocoanut merchants, put in the port of Colon Instead of at a port in the St. Bias islands was explained last night. She had been seized when ten miles off Manzanilia by the Spanish gunboat Cordova on suspicion cf carrying contraband goods. D. L Percy. United States consul at Colon, Is making strenuous efforts to secure the release of the vessel. Leopold Schepp Is a brother of the Charles Schepp, who in 1S54 started out with General Walker on his ill-fated NIcaraguan expedition. Charles Schepp was captured and shot, and Leopold Schepp, when seen in his office, said that the expedition was the secret of the hostility to them. "We secure about seven million coccanuts a year from the natives along the St. Bias coast," said he, "and the Spaniards want this trade. They use that Nicaraguan expedition to get us Into trouble. The Whltford had unloaded when she was seized, and there was no excuse for her capture. I shall ash the Secretary of War to interfere." THE TALK ABOUT HARRISON. Whr It Is Current, and Why tbe Delegation Should Not lie Instructed. Washington Special to Chicago Inter Ocean. General Harrison is in New York, with no thought of politics, asJie completes the arrangements for his "wedding next Monday, but his name has been discussed much In the last two days by his friends here at the capital In connection with the presidential campaign. As the contest goes on between McKinley and" the opposition and shows signs of bitterness that may live after the convention, the name of Harrison has been brought forward In the interest of peace as never before. His friends now believe that the convention may turn to him as the candidate upon Whom all can unite In harmony after a few unsuccessful ballots. The Indiana Congressmen are not willing to believe that Harrison has taken himself out of the lisfof possible candidates. Those of them who wero near him knew before he wrote that letter that he had no desire again to take upon htmself the burdens that must accompany tbe honors of the presidency; but they also knew that there never has been a President who retired from office with more praise of his administration than did he. They also recognize that If the Republican party gets Into a bitter contest at St. Louis there Is no man to whom more men of all factions would turn than to Harrison. They are, therefore, anxious to be in such position at St. Louis that the convention may not turn to Harrison without his State being ready to lead the procession. Congressman Steele, of Indiana, has been one of the closest friends of Harrison, and he is also a close friend of Governor McKinley. His district has indotsed McKinley, but Mr. Steele says he does not believe tha; Indiana will ever shut out the possibility of nominating Harrison. "We have known for many months that Harrison had no desire to again become President." said Colonel Steele, "out we also know that he is a leader in whom more Republicans have confidence than any other. His administration was so able that he has been compared with the greatest men who ever occupied the presidential chair. It was also clean and patriotic, and since he retired to private life Republicans and (Democrats' have praised it as one of the best administrations we ever had; and all men, without regard to party, have agreed that General Harrison is one of the ablest men of the time. "Now, we Republicans of Indiana have no desire to U9e Harrison's name further to divide the party Into factions. We do not want to be in a position where we shall be unable to take the lead if there should be a movement at St. Louis to select him as the leader who would be satisfactory to all factions. We know that such a movement could not be used to defeat any favorite, but would be simply to unite all Republicans on a candidate whom all could support with the same hearty enthusiasm that they now do their own particular, candidates. They are not antl-McKlnley men who are talking of Harrison; neither are they alone McKinley men. They are thinking Republicans, the frlend3 of all candidates, and they are thinking of Harrison because his administration has placed him above special features of the Republican policy. Asa tariff advocate his last message to Congress placed him in the very front of protectionists. As a wise leader in finance he has the eontidence of even the extremists of both sides of that question. "But, above both these issues, Harrison has the confidence of the American people as no other man In either party, because his administration was in every respect the emDoaiment or Kepubiican principles, and its history Is the history of the most prosperous period of our country. Should the party turn to him as the candidate there would be no one principle of the party on which to make the campaign. It would be an allround Republican campaign, with the administration of Harrison standing out In contrast with the present Democratic administration. "But there is no occasion for speaking of these things that are known to all men. Republicans and Democrats alike. The thought with our Indiana Republicans is not to place ourselves In the position that New York Democrats were placed in the last Democratic convention, when the party turned to Cleveland and nominated him. without the help or apparent consent of his own State. There may have been reasons for the New York, Democrats occupying that peculiar position. But there is every reason why Indiana Republicans should not occupy a similar position at St. Louis. Harrison is the idol of Indiana Republicans. We not only rejoice In the honors raid him by the Nation, but we love him as the highest type of a man and a statesman that our State has ever produced. If General Harrison's name should be taken Into the St. Louis convention by the delegates from any other State, and he should be nominated, we of Indiana should feel it as a humiliation. If there should be a break to Harrison in that convention no instructions for any other candidate could hold the Indiana men. and It would be bad politics to place them under any such instructions, to have it said that they did not obey, when, if they should obey such instructions, they would not represent the Republicans of the State or the districts. "I hope to see Indiana send an unlnstructed delegation to the St. Louis convention, for the reason that I do not want to have Indi ana Republicans placed In the position the New York Democrats found themselves In four years ago. when they saw Mr. Cleveland nominated with the New York delegation supporting another candidate and voting un der instructions lor nim to tne end. McKinley or Hnrrlnon. Washington' Special to Philadelphia Record. "McKinley or Harrison" was the reply which most Senators and Representatives mr.de to-day when thsy were asked who would get the Republican nomination. The extreme McKinley men, of course, insisted that there could now be no question about McKlnley's nomination, except whether it would be by acclamation or as a result of the first ballet. The close friends of Reed and cf Allison, having recovered somewhat frcm yesterday's consternation, insisted hat their candidates were etui to De considered as navirg a chance to win. but most of the ant! .McKinley men contented themselves -with paying that they were now more than ever determined to beat McKinley. and that In order to do sd they were ready, If necessary. to support ex-preswent Harrison. . If McKinley i3 not nominated on the second ballot, according to the anti-McKIr.ley managers, he is as good as beaten, and they will then rally arouna one man and defeat McKinley with h!m.

There was a very slim attendance at the Madison-square Garden Concert -Hall to-night to witness the fifth game of the series of international eighteen-inch balk line billiards. The con testants were "Wizard" Jake Schaefer, of Chicago, and Albert Gamier, of Belgium, the recognized French champion. Both men played poor billiards. The feature of the night's play came in the fifteenth inning, when Schaefer got the balls near the top cushion and held them there for a quarter of an hour. He drove the red and white alternately when It was necessary to send them ouUlde the balk line and frequently made gathering shots with great precision. The result of this brilliant work was the addition of 132 to his big lead. Summary: Sehaefer0. 1 24. 24. 13. 31. 0. S6. 27. 23, 69. 11, 53, 29, 122, 58, 0, 19, 0, 17 0, 33600.

It is an Improvement on the klnetoscopc, and Mr. Edison says he has no doUbt'that It will prove to be a success. The vitascope throws on a screen by means of bright lights and powerful lenses the moving life-size flgurtj of human beings and animals. Lat night la the big foundry buIUing, adjacent to the laboratory, the machine was rigsed up and a, very satisfactory exnibtuon was made. Tha first picture shown last night on the screen was a colored panorama of a serpentine dance by Anna belle, who posed uerore the klnetcscope lat summer. The film roll on which the photographs were attached was arranged over a half dozen spools and pulleys, ani wntn me xnk.im7 c-fc 'vii v. dancer's Image appeared on the screen as If In life. The original photographs, as taken by the klnetograph and developed on tho roll are about the size of a special deliver postage stamp, and to produce a picture lit size are magnified about six hundred times. Mr. Edison expect shortly to be able to so Improve the phonograph that he will bo able to take records mucn longer thin now, and the vitascope and phonograph will then, be so 'combined that it will be possible for an audlerxre to watch a photographic reproduction of an opera and hear the mujic at the same time.
