Mrs. watkup,s Trial.

EMPORIA, Kan, Oct. 26.-Ihe state
having no further evidence to offer in the
Walkup case at the opening of the court
this morning, the defense was commenced.
Twenty-Five witnesses were called, lnclud-
ing DR.. Scott of Kansas City, Eben Bald
win of Lawrence and DR.. Conway OF To-
ledo. Mo. Mr.. Scott attorney for the de-
fendant, then addressed the jury, saying
that he depended more upon their honor as
men than upon their oath for a partial YER
dict. The state had charged a conspiracy
between the defendant and her mother
to marry, rob and murder Mr.. Walkup. The
defense proposed complete vindlcatlon
from all the charge. He pictured in glowing
terms the situation of the young wife
at the time of her husbands death, 1.200
miles from home and without friend in
the trying hour of suspicion. He related
the circumstances of the courtship and mar
riage, going to show the girl gave her con-
sent to the marriage only upon the urgent
and repeated solicitation of the deceased
In the course of his address the attorney
stated the defendant would be put on the
stand, and also that evidence would be in
troduced to exhibit the private character of
j. r. Walkup the diseases he incurred and
arsenical compounds he used. They would
show the wifes fidelity during his illness,
and show he told her to purchase arsenic
for her complexion. At the conclusion of
the address Eben Baldwin of Law
renee, Kan, was called to the witness stand.
Mr. Baldwin related the history Of his trip
to New Orleans with Mr.. Walkup. The lat
ter bought medicine in st. Louis drug
store. Witness did not know what, but
! afterwards on the boat he was i'll with vom-
iting and cramping pains in the stomach.
Did not have doctor as Walkup said he
knew what was the matter and would pull
through. Walkup got drunk while they
were in New Orleans. Was evidently
smitten with Miss Wallace, but she did not
put herself forward. Most OF the afternoon
was taken up with the arguments over the
admission of testimony as to what Walkur
had said before his last illness regarding his
! physical condition.

The Maxwell Land Grant.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Hon. o. P.
McMains OF New Mexico was among the
presidents callers to-day and had brief
conversation in relation to the Maxwell
land grant President Cleveland told him
that he did not intend to touch the matter
unless he actually had to, but promised to
speak to Secretary Lamar and Attorney Gen
eral Garland at the cabinet meeting to-mor-
row, and asked Mr.. McMains TO come and see
him again on Wednesday. Secretary Bay
ard spent some time at the White house
this morning in private conference with the
president, SO there was very little time for
other callers, and Mr.. McMains was una
bic to hold any extended conversation. He
has letter from Surveyor General Julian
in relation to the restoring of the plats of

plats of survey could not have been held in
this office because of such reversal. AS to
the notice which this Office received, which
led to the Withholding of the plats of survey,
the records now on file give no information
at least I am unable to find it after careful
search. The action of the office in the
matter was doubtless the result of the
proceedings of Commissioner Williamson,
Carl Schurz and their confederates, which you
have so well set forth in your appeal to the
land departments and which led that de-
partment to send you and the settlers on the
so-called Maxwell grant to the courts for re-
lief. / am quite ready, as you know, and as
/ have written to Secretary Lamar, to restore
the plats of the survey whenever L am per-
mitted to do so; but my appeal to the secre-
tary on that point has not yet been re-
SpOnded to.

Strikers Again Step Out.


PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct 26.-The strike of
the coal miners of the Monongahela valley
received fresh impetus to-day in the ac-
cession to its ranks of the Neel and Globe
mines, in the fourth pool. These men re-
turned to work last week at the old price,
"a cents a bushel, which caused a waYering
among other miners and originated the very
plausible report that the backbone of the
great strike had been broken. This afternoon
there was not one mine in operation in the
fourth pool. in which region desertions
among strikers are continually feared. The
two mines mentioned were visited by a
committee of seyenty-fve strikers shortly
after the days work had been commenced
this morning, and were persuaded to come
out, making the fifth time for the men at the
Neel mine to gain the strike. Afterward

The young lady is said to be heir to consid-

to poison her. Although the young lady

Their plan was to have the young lady en-

work, advancing him money to carry out
their schemes. This mans heart failed
him. however, and he acquainted the police

met him most frequently. Whatever adm1s-
sions l make are purely from the profoundest
respect for the memory Of my old COM
mander. I am prepared to confirm the state
ment that Johnson was man of desperate
expedients and the diction of an uncon-
trollable ambition. I had several interviews
with Mr.. Johnson during the period referred
to by Mr.. Depew. learned from
official sources of the schemes that were
being woven in Mr.. Johnson's brain. The
reason so little was said in public about it at
that time was because of his utter impotency
to carry any of them into effect. The pur-
poses of Mr.. Johnson were not the OHSpr1ng
of any reasonable designs, but rather the
bitterness of his resentment. If he could have
put the control of congress in the hands of
his friends and formed new party. he would
have done so. But 1 have not the slightest
idea that he would have alienated the North
from the South in his effort. The insanity of
his course was not always attributed to what
it should have been, viz; The wreck of a
great mind and to the nervous pulsations of
| a brain disempowered by the most lament
