Secretary TeiierTmiks sack at Senator


WASHINGTON, b. O., May 9.-secretsr,
Teller informed the Associated Press thil
evening that he does not intend to make
any formal reply to Senator Hills letter
and added that although he found it wa,
full Of errors aud Misrepresentation, he
does not purpose taking any public notice
OF any portion oft that is local or personal
in It's character. He did not think the
public had any interest in these
matters. He said, however, as to
the Yellow Stone Park lease, be
took tho advice OF his assistant, Jo6lyn, and
OF Met Cannon, law officer Of the Depart
ment, and that the lease was in their
opinion, in accordance with law. Teller
went on to say, "it does not, as the Senator
assumes, give control Of the Park to the
lessees. Any number OF other leases
may be made in every respect as ad.
vantageons to lessees as this one. No
exclusive privilege is given and no
advantage given in sites. The lease
covers sites for hotels and stage stations
sggregatilg ten acres Others may, Il they
desire, have the same. AS to the rulings
of the departmental in favor OF corporations
in the matter OF land grants-the Senator
made only general charge concerning a
matter oil which he could know no more
that the general public. The rulings have
all been made 10 conform to the decisions
OF the Supreme Court, and the opinion
OF the Attorney General, concerning
the duty Of the Executive Departments Of
the Government in that respect"
Senator Hill left Washington this even
ing for Colorado. Before his departure he
was asked il he had anything further to cay
at present with reference to the contro-
versy with tine Secretary Of Interior.
He replied: "Every statement contained
in my letter Is strictly true. Teller will
seek to break its force by a general denial,
but upon some Of the poin,s he will have
to face the evidence"

IT is the custom OF Harvard to confer the
degree OF Ii, D. upon the Governor Of
Massachusetts,, In point Of learning Coy
eruOr Butler is as worthy as some who have
gone before, but there is strong opposition
TO his receiving the honor, and there are
threats Of cutting Harvard of without a
shilling in some wills which it is not to late
to alter. All Of which suggests that the
degree has heretofore been conferred on
the office, not the man, and therefore is
not to be considered as a recognition Of
personal merit. But this is stupid thing
for so great an institution Of learning TO do,

and two or three other men came to
their house at 8 o'clock at night and
called her husband out. Having heard
OF threats against him he refused to 60,
but she went to the door to parley with

DUBLIN, May 2-Patrick Delaney and
Thomas Catlrey, two more oithe men
charged with participation in the murder
Of Cavendish and Burke, were arraighed
for trial this morning. They created
sensation in the court room by pleading
guilty to the charge against them. Both
were sentenced to be hanged on tie
I'd Of June. Before Cafrfey had
pleaded guilty he was informed by
his solicitors that the Crown gave
no hopes Of mitigation OF the sentenceicf
death, which would be passed upon him.
When Delaney was called upon to plead,
he said: u am guilty Of being in the Park

and Mr.. Burke were killed, but / didnot
commit the murder. l plead guilty.
TIE Judge explained To him that this
really amounted TO plea OF Innocence.
Delaney then formally pleaded guilty.
He said: ~ was brought into this al iifss

Judge o'Brien, in passing sentence on
Delaney, said lie had day to perform.
He had. at the previous trial Of the prisoner,
for attempting TO shoot Judge Lawson,
pitied him, because he showed some feeling
for his wife and family. The prisoner
would see to what misery they had been
brought by this wicked system Of conspit-
acy.

pleading guilty was again fully explainedto 10

The Judge, in passing sentence, said
there were no means Of judging the truth

decide that it was necessarily wholly un.
