he would appear on Saturday next with
the documents.

so the documents VIXEN produced will
confirm and cannot contradict them, so
that you will suffer no loss. Ii, on the

desire possession of tho documents that
you may prove yonr statements in a
manner not to be contravened by the
facts set forth in them, to the disadvan~
tage of Tilton, should then be aiding
you in doing what cannot believe the

lections of your kind confidence and

The Tribune publishes an interview
with DIR. Storrs relative to the Beecher-
Tihon matter. DIR. Storrs says Tilfon
came to him about week after the pub
lication OF the Woodruff paper, thought
some statement necessary and wanted
advice. He read the letter and on Til
toms second call suggested four points
to be deniea. First, the criminal rela-
tions of Beecher and Mrs. Tilton; sec
ond, Tilton's discovery of that; third,
that Beecher received paper from Mrs.
1ilton, denying that such relations ex>
listed; fourth that Mr.. Moulton obtained
that paper from Beecher. Tilton said,
suppose these points cannot be de-
Med, Storrs replied that then the al.
ternatiyes were statement of the truth
or absolute silence. Evasion in pub
lie statement would only keep the sean
dal alive. He declined to give further
advice. Tilton came again with j. F.
B. Carpenter and showed him letter
in the handwriting of Mrs. Tilton, 1t
began, he believed On a certain day
in the summer informed my husband
that Mr.. BeecAer had asked me to be-
come wife to him, etc." Mr.. Tilton
also laid before me and read many 9TH
er documents bearing on the case, but
with the exception of the above none of
the original letters were shown me. Til
ton did not seem to gbe actuated by
feeling of revenge, and only wished my
advice, he spoke with no bitterness of
Beechsr, used no violent language, and
seemed sad and depressed. Perhaps
his appearance was deceptive but it
seemed to be his mood
Mrs. Tilton told DIR. Storrs, after an
Interview, that the letter was written
by her and that it was utterly false and
unfounded.
DR.. S.orrs spoke feelingly of the long.
friendship between himself and Beech.
er, and expressed a strong hope that he
would be shown blameless.
MILWAUKEE, Aug. Gin the Supreme
Court at Madison yesterday, in the R.
4. case, the Court decided that it would
hear the application for preliminary
injunction upon the unverifed CONS

the objections raised by the counsel
for the railroads should be considered
in determining whether the application
should be granted. Counsel for the
railroads then road affidavits setting
forth the depreciation of gold bonds and
preferred stock of the companies since
the passage of the Potter law. After
some objection the counsel for the State
read counter afidavits from Commits
sioner Osborne and Private Secretary

manding and receiving illegal rates.
Judge Orton then opened the argument
on behalf of the State, confning him
