MILLIONAIRE ROBBERS.
The Charges Against Gould and Sage Laid Be-
fore the Grand Jury.

Inc ChdfScS against GOuIu ana sage LalQ BE-
fore the Grand Jury.
NEW York, Feb. 21.-The charges
against Jay Gould and Russell Sage made
on behalf of the stockholders of the
Kansas Pacific Railroad company of ap-
propriating to their own use $3,000,000
OF the company's bonds we're laid before
the grand jury this morning. Monday
next witnesses will be summoned.
New YORK, Feb. 16.-Among the docu-
ments submitted to the grand jury to-day
was a pamphlet containing the printed
arguments of the counsel for the com
plainants and defendants, heard by Dis
trict-Attorney Fellows with closed doors,
about the first of this month.
This pamphlet was given to the press
tonight. Edward T.. Andrews, who
presented the case on behalf of the com
plainants said the only difference which
the case presented from that of the Or
binary embezzlement was that it was
done under apparent forms OF law, one
of the courts of this state being made to
become an unwilling participant liz their
acts. Artemus e. Holmes, in behalf of
the respondents, argued that there was
no criminality in the proceedings nor
were they carried on IN secrecy. john
f. Dillon argued also in behalf
of the respondents. He went into
the proceedings with great detail,
contending that the decree of
the supreme court of New York was val
id and properly obtained. The only per
son, if there was any living soul who
could make complaint of this consolida
ton, would be the original Union Pacific
shareholders. Judge Dillon argued az
great length that the laws OF limitations
debarred all criminal proceedings.
Bourke Cockrane contended in an elab-
crate argument that the prosecution had
been barred by lapse of time. Andrews
closed the hearings with an argument
an6 citations to show that the statute of
limitation does not applJ under such cir
GUNS tancee.

Thus nominated by the economic phil
osophy of the Confederacy, the Demo
cratic party of the United States, in
power by the methods referred to, holds
the sharpened knife of free trade at the
throat Of American industry, and at the
heart of American labor.
The next census will show the southern
basis of representation immensely swollen
by the fecundity of this tropical race and
you will see that the atrophy OF the suf
frage keeps pace with the growth in the
basis of representation. There is but
one remedy for this menace to our wei
fare. Statutes will not reach it. 4 good
old fashioned republican victory, which
will render such methods no loRger eff
ciept for national control in this country
is the only remedy. This we prescribed,
and will try to administer
Who but the republican party shall
meet and huri back this assault? 1t is
for this party, once more restored to
administration, to provide for toe de-
lenses of your coasts, to improve your
rivers and harbers. to enlarge and extend
your commerce, to open the door to
Dakota and the outlying territories; TO
bring back into legislation taat princi
pie which the democratic party never
can lead to, that true economy lies in
liberal expenditures for wise public pur-
poses, to teach the world again what
Seward, Fish, Evarts, Blaine and Freling-
huysen never permitted to be forgotten;
that the American flag means something,
whether 1t floats over an army in line, or
from the mast of a lofty fishing smack
out on the restless sea.
Our party is ready for the fight. Its
lines are forming. It's drums are beating.
Its flags are rustiing in the air about US.
It demands, and it will have, a courage
Gus aud self denying leadership that shall
hold the interests of the party and the

you lead. Lead on, New York; lead on to
victory.

The Man Who Assisted In the Murder
of Smell Placed Behind the Bars.
He Makes a Full Confession and Saws
TaScOtt Did the Fatal Shooting.
TascOtt Thought to be in California
He Bears Marks Easily Identified.
He Told All Il Troubles in His Sleep
and His Mistress Informed the Police.
MILLIONAIRE SMELLS MURDERERs.

The Police Succeed in Unraveling the
Mystery.
CHICAGO, Feb. 21.-The man who as
sisted IN the murder of Muliopaire
Smell by standing watch outside while
the residence was icing robbed is behind
the prison bars. The arrest was made
to-day and the police have already Sc
cured full confession from the
prisoner. It confirms beyond doubt
the statement that the murderer is
young William B. Tascott, the son of
Col. J. B. Tascott, the wealthy manufac-
tHrer. The man arrested today made
Tascott's acquaintance in the Garden
City billiard hall on West Madison street,
snd for several weeks they have been to-
gether every day. The morning that Mr..
SHELLS house was to be robbed he and
Tascott went to the house together. Tas-
colt went inside leaving his comrade on
the sidewalk. After the murder Tascott
hurried out, grasped his companion by
the arm, and together they went to Tas-
colts lodgings on West Madison street,
where they remained several hours. Tas-
colt there told him all, and the other was
SO Mortified and SO afraid that he would
be charged with the marGer itself that he
refrained from giving information to the
police. He made sworn statement to-
day and satisfied tue police that he was
telling the truth. The police refuse to
reveal the name of the prisoner.

les the honest views Of 1895 men
who voted TO ratify it.
This section makes polygamv and
bigamy misdemeanors punishable by fine
and imprisonment. He declared upon
his honor as God-fearing man that the
people of Utah did deliberately and un-
reservedly adopt that section in good
faith as law of the land, and intended
to enforce it in the new state. Game de-
Tended his co-religionists of the ter
rltory of Utah against the charges
brought by the various writers. Those
who oppose statehood for Utah con
tnued to care nothing for the religion or
morals of the Mormons; it is their poll
ties which they oppose. If you satisfy
shem you must disfranchise every Nor
mon on account OF his religious belief.
JUDGE JEREMIAH WILSON
also addressed the committee. he eulo-
glzed the people of Utah. The Mormons
had never broken promise or BETRAYED
trust and therefore their sincerity in
this matter ought not to be questioned.
DELEGATE DUBOIS, OF IDAHO,
addressed the committee in onnosition
to the petitions for admission. He al
mitted the population of Utah to be
sufficient, so far as numbers go. TO en-
title the territory to statehood but de-
clared this population mainly imported
from Europe by the Mormon church.
Even with the Insufficient police force the
number of arrests was enormously dis
proportionate to the population and the
vast majority of the persons arrested
were convicted. Utah has been blessed
with,a superior climate and soil: she lays
on a direct line between the east and
California, yet with such advantages her
taxable wealth only aggregate $50, 100000
S5,000,O00 of which was railroad property
not owned in Utah and 100000 of
which belonged to $4,000 gentne iphabit-
ants of that territory. Her taxable
wealth averaged only 1857 per capita,
while IN nelghboring territories it ranged
from $500 to 800. He asked to be in
formed by any advocate of admission
what practice of Brigham Young or Jo-
seph Taylor was now admitted to have
been wrong; and argued that the cause of
the Mormons in the future would be best
judged by their past. Crime was now
rife In Utah, and the criminals HAD the
sympathy of the entire Mormon people.
If any reform was promised, any Austen
ton from practices pronounced by law
to be criminal, the man who promised it
was ostracised. The legislature refus-
ed to make provisions for the arrest
and the punishment os criminals, and the
.. S. government was compelled to bear
the burden of the local government of
the territory, The new constitution was
half trick, and half a lie, and those who
presented it did not come as fTeemem to
free men, but with cringing and coward
ice proposed to bind themselves for the
future III way required OF no
other state. The territory could not
come in under this constitution as an
equal and the provision against the
amendment to her constitution was
therefore either entirely mug atory or en-
tirely wrong. The Gentiles did not be-
lieye two years of statehood would elapse
before the constitution would be changed
to meet the views of the church.

THE FLAGS ARE THERE
The Secretary of War Replies TO Bou-
telle's Captured Flags Resolution.
None Have Passed Out Of the Custody
of the Department Under EndicOtt.
THE REBEL FLAGS.
Secretary Endicett's Reply to the House Roso
luton.


Secretary Endieett's Reply to the House Ros0-
luton.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The secretary of
war to-day returned to the house his
answer to the BoutelIe resolution calling
for information as to whether the flags
captured by the q. S., have been removed
from the place where they were displayed
or concealed, and if so by what authority
and for what purpose, and further as to
what propositions have been made by the
government officials regarding the sur
render of these flags, and whether it is
true that portion of them were actually
surrendered to persons having no right
the secretary gives brief history of the
flags. It is stated that while some
of the confederate flags have since
been given to the various companies
or regiments capturing them, no flags
have passed out of the custody of the de-
partment that were in such custody when
Secretary Endicott assumed charge of
the department. The order to return the
flags and the order revoking it are
given, and the statement is made that no
flags were actually returned under the
first order. AS to the law requiring pub
lie exhibition of the captured flags
and trophies, it is assumed that
the construction put upon it by the form
er secretaries of war and the navy, was
that the law applied to the trophies taken
from foreign enemy, and not TO those
taken during domestic hostilities. In
October, '82 all the flags. including those
in Winder's museum, were by direction
of the secretary Of war, boxed and stored
in room in the sub basement of
the new state, war and navy building,
where they remained until January 1887.
They were quite inaccessible in this place
and difficult to find and identify, when it
became necessary to do so. 1t was also
found they were decayipg rapidly and by
the direction of the present adjutant
general they were taken from the boxes
aud placed in a room in the upper story
of the war department building where
! they can be easily visited and examined.
The secretary says that no flags have
been removed from the place where they
were displayed and concealed from the
public. He asserts that Secretaries Stan
ton, Belknap, McCreary, Ramsey and
Lincoln and the present secretary deliv-
cred up altogether some nineteen recap
tured union flags.
