The successors of many of those Senators who retire this year are to be elected by the new municipalities.

ARRAIGNED BY ELIOT
CLEVELAND'S FOREIGX POLICY CRITICISED BY HARVARD'S PRESIDENT. Bomb Also Exploded by Co respondent K. ". Smalley at the International Arbitration Conference. WASHINGTON, April S.-The conference for international arbitration, which has been a very harmonious cne, closed to-night with a mass meeting Allen's Opera House, in the course of which Presiient Eliot, of Harvard, severely arraigned the foreign policy of President Cleveland and his fellow-townsman, Secretary Olney. The personalities which President Eliot uttered In cool, measured terms, were so pointed that they incited a decided sensation. He began by referring to the criticism of a Harvard graduate on the assembly, as Inopportune. The country had been surprised and discouraged at the immense war spirit it had encountered, he said, and continued: "Only four months ago we saw by the message of President Cleveland that compulsory arbitration was to be entered Into by two other nations. We learned that months before the Secretary of State had Issued from this capital papers of most remarkable tenor, which, between individuals, would have seemed at least exasperating. These papers took thousands of American cltitzens by surprise, surprise unintended, perhaps, but inevitable. Then, when grave propositions were laid before the legislative branch of. the government, that we thought might be depended on to consider them deliberately, we are painfully surprised to see that such deliberation could no longer be depended upon." Mr. Eliot spoke of the Increased lnflammafollfcy of multitudinous populations, because of the press, and went on: "We have een the phenomenon of men employed as Cabinet officers who have absolutely no experience in public affairs' .This had Introduced into public affairs a new danger, the danger cf inexperience 'bringing men from the tumultuous, contentious profession of the law Into the Cabinet offices. "There has recently been an Importation from Europe of an idea utterly repugnant to us, a modern notion cilled Jingoism," he said. A detestable word for a detestable tiling. I should be utterly at a loss to know which party in this country Is the greatest offender In this respeot, and 1 particularly grieve that foremost in this enormity are sundry graduates of Harvard University. Can anything be more offensive to industrious, sober, hard-working American citizens than this chlp-on-the-shoulder attitude, this brutality, coupled with a despotic militarism?" Some applause followed these remarks, but there was great applause when Bishop Keane. rector of Uie Catholic University, who spoke next, began: SI am not here to blame the President or Congress. I don't believe it is our purpose or our right to blame either of them. But we, as American citizens, are free to say that it Is a pity that things are as they are, compelling the"President and Congress to talk of war with another civilized nation." The other speakers .were J. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, and President Patton, of Princeton University, who declared that In ternatlcnal arbitration wouM be enforced by the "gradual evoltulon of an international conscience." The morning session was called to order by ex-Senator Edmunds. There was a large attendance of delegates, but the absence of Congressmen and government officials was again noticeable. A small bomb was dropped into the convention by Mr. E. V. Smalley, of St. Paul, Minn., formerly a Washington newspaper correspondent. Mr. Smalley announced that he must dissent from the proposition that this country should welcome the extension of the power of Great Britain over the world as an agency of civilization,-but should limit its own strength within Its present borders. "The cry that for us to establish ourselves as a sea power among the nations of the globe is Jingoism I do not believe Is the sentiment cf the American people," he said, and there was applause from many of the delegates, while others raised a point of order that was overruled by the chairman. "We do not desire to retire from the com Ketitlon for commerce all over the globe," e continued. "It is not Jingoism to desire to accept a friendly alliance of the Sandwich Islands. It Is Idle to think that all nations will lay down their arms and dwell like brothers in a church. Most of the citizens of the United States favor the movement in Congress to increase our navy." (Cries of "No" and "Yes.") Great Britain had built canals for sending her gunboats into the great lakes, and the United States had made a mistake in taking no steps for her own protection on tho lakes. Carl Schurz. of New York, replied to Mr. Smalley's argument. He contended that if the United States was to be a great sea power it must stabllsh a navy as large as those of any two European powers. "Are you ready for that, gentlemen?" he asked, and was answered by cries of "No." The United States should carry Its Ideas, Its civilization to all parts of the cr'.obe, but not Its guns. The report of the committee on resolutions and a general discussion thereon was the business of the afternoon. President Angel, of the University of Michigan, presen-ted tho report, which follows: "First That in the Judgment of this conference religion, humanity and Justice as well as the matcuial interests of civilized society, demand the Immediate establishment between the United States and Great Britain of a permanent system of arbitration. "Second Tlt it Is earnestly recommended to our government as soon as it is assured of a corresponding disposition on the part c the British government to negotiate a treaty providing for the widest practical application of the method of arbitration to international controversies. "Third That a committee of this conference be appointed to prepare and present to the President of the United States a memorial respectfully urging the taking of such steps on the part of the United States as will best conduce to the end in view." A discussion arose over the Question whether nations beside Great Britain should be Included in the resolutions. Mr. Graham, of Virginia, offered an amendment as follows: "And such a system be as far as possible extended to embrace -other civilized nations." The amendment was carried and the resolutions adopted. The committee selected to prepare a memorial for presentation to the President was Messrs. Edmunds. Angel, Gardiner Hubbard of Washington, ex-Mlnlster to Spain Curry and Henry Hitchcock, of St. Louis. A letter of regret because of inability to attend was received from Cardinal Gibbons, addressed to Hon. Gardiner G. Hubbard. In the afternoon a reception was given the delegates at the residence of Hon. John W. Foster. CONTINUING EVIDENCE. (Conclndrd from First Pnsre.) "Were the arteries drained of blood?" "Yes. sir." "How -were the cuts made on the hand?" "My opinion was that the knife, while cutting the neck, came In contact with the hands while the hands were warding off the blotv or cutting." "Did you find uny tracts of any drug that would tend to prevent coagulation of the blood?" , "No, sir." "Did you discover anything that showed you that this person was pregnant?" "It was " "What kriled the child?" "The death of the mother." "Suppose the head was cut off five minutes after death, how would the blood leave the body?" "By gravitation. I suppose, is he only way tn? body could be drained, but not comenletely." "Suppose, at the point when it was thought the body was killed, there- wan blood twenty inches above where the blood was, how would you say It got there?" "It evidently Fpurted from the body." "Could it have spurted after deatii?" "No, sir. it coull not." The defense then took the witness, Colonel Crawford questioning him. NO EVIDENCE OF POISON. IIow soon after the head Is severed from a body-does the action of the heart cease?" "About fifteen or thirty seconds afterward." "Wouldn't the action of the heart also drive the blood into the other parts of the body besides the head or out the neck where thehead was?" "Yes. sir." Ccu'.dn't the person have been shot and then the head cut off and you would have found the body in the same condition?" "I think so." "Could the person have been poisoned to death and then the head cut off?" "No. sir. I think not." "Aren't there circumstances under which the coagulation of the blood is suspended?" "I cannot sav." "Isn't it a fact that you could not tell whether certain drugs had been administered or natT "I couldn't tell, for I made no examination of the stomach." Dr. W. D. Littler was the next witness called by the prosecution. He was ques
tioned by Colonel Locktuirdt. Said he had known Scott Jackson about six months. "Where did you meet him?" "At the boarding house at No. 22 West Ninth street. Cincinnati." "Did he ask you the effects of cocaine?" "Yes. sir." "When?" "About two weeks before the finding of the body." "What did he sav?" "He said he and 'Walling had some dispute about the action of cocaine on a human being." I "Isn't cocaine used by dentists for extracting the teeth?" "Yes. sir." "Isn't It frequently used?" "I think it is." - "Was cither Jackson or Walling treating a tooth for eome member of that household r "Yea. sir." "Which?" "Walling. I think, was treating Miss Minnie." "Didn't Jackson ask you whether there would be any difference between an ordinary 10 per cent, solution of cocaine and twice that amount?" "Yes, about that question." Allen Johnson, the negro prize fighter and ex-porter at Dave Walllngford's saloon, was then called and questioned by Colonel Nelson- . "Where were you recently employed T "At Dave Walllngford's saloon, at the northeast corner of George and Plum streets." "Do you know Scott Jackson?". "Yes sir." "How often did Jackson and Walling visit that place?" "Almost every night." "Did Jackson come in that place on Friday night of Jan. 31, about 7 o clock?" "Yes, sir." "Where did he go?" "To the wine room in the rear." 'TIow long did Jackson and the lady remain together in the wine room?" Defense objected and objection was sustained. "What then took placer "I asked Jackson for a loan of 50 cents, and he said he hadn't any money and was going to borrow $2 from Wallingford. He then borrowed two silver dollars from Wallingford. He then told me that there was a lady in the wine room, and told me to go back and see what she wanted. I went back and she said she would like some sarsaparilla. I got It for her. Then a few minutes later Walling came in and I said: t " 'Hello. Doc,' and he said, 'Hello, Sport. '"TCie girl who was with Jackson went away in a cab with him and Walling about 6:50. They went east on George street. The girl had a hat with red roses and feathers on it. She had on a cloak which hit her about the walsit or a little below. I think she had on a sort of green-checkered dress." Johnson identified the dress and hat ol Pearl Bryan. He only looked at a corner of the bespattered dress and said: "Yesm; that's the dress." "Jackson was dressed that night In falling's cap and an overcoat," said Johnson. 1 know the cap was Walling's because Walling always wore it before." He then Identified the cap. . Then he went on: "Jackson and Walling were frequently visitors to Walllngford's saloon. They drank every time they came. I have been a saloon attendant the best part of my life. From my experience about saloons I will sav that the woman who accompanied Scott Jackson to Walllngford's on Friday night was not of the lower class. Her actions were altogether different- Sho was a blonde, five feet two or so." Then he was asked if she was a country or city girl. The defense objected. The Judge overruled the objection. , "What little 1 saw of the lady I judged she was a country girl, from her actions," answered Johnson. "I never saw the lady again. I saw Scott Jackson once afterward, after his arrest, in the office of the chief of police." Allen was then handed over to the tender mercies of cross-examination. Attorney Crawford asked a few moments' indulgence. . Colonel Nelson took advantage of the occasion to formally place the cap in evidence. , ' . Colonel Nelson asked another question by saying he was a man of all work. "Have you any specialty?" "I'm a boxer' "Prize fighter." 'o sir. "Allen,"" began Colonel Crawfo'rd, seriously, "you say Scott Jackson was in Walllngford's saloon on that Friday?" "Yes sir." "You may be mistaken?" "No sir." "Can't you remember that that was not the day Jackson borrowed 12 from Dave Wallingford was not the day that he was there with the lady?" , . "I say it was Jan. 31." answered Johnson emphatically. ' . fJ He was made to answer the question differently, and said: "No, sir; I don't remember it was a different day." t "Wasn't it Tuesday evening that he borrowed the money V "I don't think it was." Continuing, he said: - - ' "I was in the saloon also on Monday nlglit. Jackson was there Friday night. He had a full beard when he had the lady there and when he borrowed the money.- It was all the same night. I was sent to'the stall by Jackson to ask the young woman what she would drink. I took her sarsaparllla to her and stayed in the stall only long enough to set down the glass. I sat down at stable and Walling put his head In the door.". . "Did you have any conversation with Walling?" 7; "No. sir." "But you Just said you spoke to 'him' "That ain't convention." "I was playing cards," said Allen, "and only went into the wine room when drinks were ordered. I did not see Jackson and the girl come there; I saw them after they were In the saloon." "Didn't you say you saw them come, then?" "I don't remember I did." In answer to questions by attorney Crawford, Allen Johnson said he knows attorney Sheppard and Mr. Andrews, of Hamilton. "Didn't you tell them Feb. 7 that you. were In the front room when the young; men and women were out, and you didn't see them?" "No. sir." "Didn't you meet Sheppard near Wallingford's saloon?" "No; It was In a saloon at George and John streets. I followed him to Fifth street, and, while Colonel Washington went in a drug store, I talked to Mr. Sheppard on the side. He said he didn't want me to come over here. I said: 'Can't you see that If I don't go over after going this far In the trial the police on this side will make It very unpleasant for me?' " The witness was asked: "Did' you not say to Mr. Sheppard, 'Now that I've promised not to go to Kentucky' that you wanted pay?" "No.V answered Johnson; "Mr. Sheppard said to me that he would give me more money to stay away than I would make In witness fees by coming, and that if I wasn't willing no court on earth could make me come." This statement created a sensation In the court room. Court adjourned at 5 p. m., with Johnson still on the stand. KXPECT THE DEATII PENALTY.
Greencastle People AVI11 Tie Satisfied tU1l. Nothing El nr. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. G It EEN C ASTLFJ, Ind., April 23. The murder of Pearl Bryan and the trial of Scott Jackson, now on in Newport, is tasked about (here to the exclusion of all other topics. People may be seen standing on tho streets and discussing the case at ail hours. The latest news from Newport is eagerly received. The story of the killing is known by every one In this county, where the Wgh connection of the principals has made It all the more sensational. The line of defense is therefore now the main matter of interest, for it Is generally believed that Jackson had a hand In the murder, even if he did not actually sever the head from the tody. It Is not believed here that a theory of insanity will be offered by the defense. Jackson was always thought to be a man of sense, and no act ho ever did here would substantiate any claim that he was insane at the time or ever had been. The witnesses who went from here to Newport are returning as quickly as they went. Dr. R. J. Gillcspcy and Isaiah Vermillion returned this morning. They predict a verdict within ten days from the beginning of the trial. The opinions hen: expressed vary as to the outcome, but the Kreat majority of people believe there will be a verdict of guilty and a death penalty against Jackson, if not against Walling wnen he Is tried. The artists who have been taking snapshots at the Greencastle pocple are making but few pictures, so far, that are recognizable. Fewer people have attended the trial from here than was expected would go. During the first excitement over the murder and during the preliminary trials large numbers of people went from here, but the evident determination to have a fair. Impartial and quick trial at Newport, as is belnfr managed by Judge Helm and Sheriff Hummer, gives the people here great confidence, and there are not to exceed a score of Putnam county people at the hearing.

A messenger wa.7 sent to Xavln'a drug store for change, but the clerk saw at once that the bill was spurious and refused to take It. Laura Bess telephoned to the police and. the man was arrested In her house. . From letters found on his person It la apparent that he has been engaged In selling patent medicines. The bills wera changed by scraping away the original figures and making those of the higher denomination with ink. One of the alterations Is cleverly done, and the bill would readily pass a caaual Inspection, although, when examined carefully the fraud Is easily detected, as the acids used have deepened the green on the back of the bill. The other Is so poorly done that no one could be easily deceived. It Is thought that Bennett purchased the raised bills from a clever forger, as, Judging by the chlrorraphy of letters evidently written by himself. h Is not an expert pepnman. while the figure . drawn on the raised bills were evidently executed by a good draughtsman or a clever engraver.
