Heavy Failure.
Mr.. Adams of the firm Jay L. Adams &
Co., wholesale grocers at No. 81 Water
street, announced yesterday that his firm

cause of this failure was the unexpected

pension had been forced upon them so sud.
denly that it would be impossible to say at
present how the firm stood.
He thought, however, that the liabilities
of both concerns would not much exceed,
in round numbers, about 81 ,00O, 900. of
which about $3.50, 900 was on account of the
New York house. The firm here had been
compelled to succumb on account of the
failure of the New Orleans branch. and that
suspension had been precipitated in turn by
the failure of Adams, Schenck & Antey, ex-
tensive cotton factors Mr. Adams said
that they had made no assignment here
nor did they contemplate doing so, as what

THE SITUATION IN ENGLAND.
| LONDON, March 2.-The signing of the
peace treaty is generally expected to occur
to-day, but its full conditions can not be
learned before Monday, or even later.
! Uncertainty and alarm still continue here,
although Lord Derby's statement last night
| is regarded as showing strong probability
that England need not become further in
| volved. War preparations are now so far
advanced that nearly sixty thousand men
could be put aboard transports within ten
days. There is danger that the ardor of the
Conservative members of Parliament may
yet force England into war in spite of the
efforts of Government leaders to avoid it.
A large wing of the party are wholly dis
satisfied with the Governments recent pol
icy, and have been kept silent with diff
Guilty. They have now agreed to wait until
the terms OF peace are definitely known,
and should the treaty be as detrimental to
England's interests and honor as they fear
it will be, they will make such demands
upon the Government as will involve an
immediate declaration of war, or dissolu-
ton of Parliament.

A New Story Of Election Frauds il
South Carolina.
How Ex-Governor Moses Says the
Majority for Hayes Was Reached.

National Associated Press to the Star.
New YORK, March 2.-In column and a
half communication in the Sun to-day Ex-
Governor F. J. Moses, of South Carolina
tells story relating to the Electoral vote of
that State. He says the real power behind
the scenes was Judge Cartier, who kept up
constant telegraph communication with the
national authorities. Chamberlain also
spent days and nights in communication
with the Board and their counsel
The party of conspirators, who had as
sembled in the office of the Secretary of
State, proceeded to open and verify the re-
turns, and it was found that Tilden had
carried the State by over 900 majority of
strictly legal votes. At once it was deter
mined that such results must be reversed
and to effect this the returns of several Re-
publican counties were tampered with so as
to increase the majorities which they had
really given to Hayes and Wheeler.
The figuring was done by Payne, Cardosa
Stone, Dunn and Cartier. The alterations
of returns were achieved by Dunn alone
who has since been heard to say, in Wash
ington while there as an applicant for the
Charleston COllectorship of Customs, that it
Carolina for Hayes, and that he could prove
it by Judge Cartier.
A moderately prominent and worthy Re-
publican living in Columbia has in his pos
session one of the pages of paper on which
the figuring was done, all the characters of
which, with the names of the counties, are
in the handwriting of the members of the
Board.
Returns from Charleston, Georgetown
and Darlington Counties were the ones
which were tampcred WITH and in which
sufficient votes were changed to give the
State to Hayes. =. 1t appears from Moses
statement that John b. Dennis offered tes-
timony before the committee investigating,
that to his personal knowledge the returns
of Charleston, Georgetown and Darlington
Counties were tampered with by Thomas
G. Dunn, in the presence of the members of
the Board of Canvassers, and so altered as
to give the State to Hayes. This testimony
was deliberately rejected by the committee
of Democratic friends of Wade and Hamp-
ton, and armed by the Democratic Legisla-
ture with full powers to investigate this
and all other frauds i'll South Carolina.
The Sun says this extraordinary confes-
sion is made by one of the most prominent
and active of the Republicans who ruled
and robbed South Carolina for nearly ten
years. Since Moses turned States evidence,
i'll order to escape punishment for his own
share in the deeds of crime, he has proved
himself a willing and valuable witness
against his late confsderates. His intimate
acquaintance with the history of the various
achievements of rascality during his own
term of Office and the terms of Scott and
Chamberlain has, we believe, never been

The Sturdy Statesman Died This Morn.

CLEVELAND, March Ben. f. Wade died
at $50 this Saturday morning
OBITUARY.
Benjamin Francis Wade, late pronli-
nent American statesman, was born in
Springfield, Mass, October 9th, 1900. He
worked as farmer or laborer in summer,
and as school-teacher in winter, until 1926,
when he began to study law in Ohio, and in
1923 was admitted TO the Bar in Ashtabula
County, where he has ever since resided.
In 1885 he WIS elected Prosecuting Attor-
ney of that county, and in 1887 to the State
Senate, to which he was twice reelected.
In 1S47 he was chosen presiding Judge of
the Third Judicial District of the State. In
1851 he was elected United States Senator,
and reelected in 1857 and 1868. In the Sen
ate Mr.. Wade was a steady opponent of all
measures favoring slavery. In 1852 he voted
with only five other Senators to repeal the
Fugitive Slave Law; he also spoke and
voted against bill to abrogate the Missouri
Compromise; against the Lccompton Con-
stitution for Kansas in 1858; against appro-
priating $40, 100000 for the acquisition of
Cuba; and against all the compromises be-
tween the North and South proposed after
Mr.. Lincoln's election in 1850. The Home
stead Bill he advocated for years, and it was
in his charge when it was finally passed by
the Senate in 1862,
From the outbreak of the civil war in
1861, Mr.. Wade labored incessantly for q
more vigorous policy; was Chairman of the
Joint Committee on the conduct Of the war,
and urged the enactment of a law to con-
fiscate all the property of leading secession
lists, and eniancipate their slaves. AS Chair
man of the Territorial Committee, he re-
ported bill in 1862, abOlishing slavery in
all the territories of the Government and
prohibiting it in any that might afterward
be acquired.
After the assassination of President Lin
coin, in 1865, he became President pro
tempore of the Senate, and acting Vice
President of the United States.
lie was continued as President of the
Senate during the administration of Praai
dent Johnson, and his term as presiding Of
tcer embraced the most trying scenes that
the occupant OF that place was ever called
upon to manage. He presided when the
Senate tried President Johnson ON the ar
IicieS OF impeachment, when the oonvic-
ton of the President would have made him
President of the United States.
Ills whole course at that time was too
prominent and is too well remembered to
need repeating here. He was candidate
for nomination to the office of Vice Presi-
dent in 1868, but was defeated by his son-in-
law, Mr. Colfax. In 1871 he was one of the
Commission sent to San Domingo to report
upon the proposed annexation to the United
States, a scheme of which he approved.

THE MEXICAN BORDER
Lieut. Edward P Turner of the Tenth
Cavalry, this morning testified before the
House Committee on Military Affairs con-
cerning the Mexican border troubles. He
is the officer that charges that Col Shafter
and Lieut.. Bulls. frequently crossed into
Mexico without having real cause for such
action, and without being upon any fresh
trail, but simply for the purpose of making
capital for themselves
In his testimony to-day he did not how
ever touch upon this point. He held that
neither the Mexican authorities nor the
border population of Mexico could be held
responsible for the raids into Texas, but
that the marauders were exclusively Mus
quarillo and Apache Indians.
He did not consider an increase of the
United States forces along the Rio Grande
necessary to the preservation of peaceful
relations, but thought that all that was nee
essary for the prevention of such lawlcss-
ness and disturbances as have been COM
planned of heretofore would be judicious
vigil on the part of the American military
and civil authorities.
