Sensational Developments In the Smell
Murder Case.

MuroeT Shbe.
CHICAGO. Nav ia local paper savs
There are new and important developments
in the Smell murder case. This is on the
authority OF A. ]. Stone, who saws that in n q
short time the public will be enlightened
and all the mystery surrounding the crime
cleared away Tascott is found That is to
say. he has never been lost. People who
have been at l0B 10 account for the
ability of comparatively inexperienced
boy, without means or many friends. to
evade the police for the three months with
the skill OF a practical crook, who has
money and friends Mt command, may be
assured that W. b. Tascott had no sucn
ability and has done nothing of the kind.
The least adroit of the three or
four who participated in the crime,
he was quickly apprehended and promptly
secreted for the good of the cause, it being
shouted from the housetops meanwhile
that he was the man and the only man
wanted. This was the clever though some
what hackneyed scheme put into operation
by Captain Bonfeld and Mr. Stone for the
purpose of receiving the accomplices of
anxiety on their own account
Young Tascott was no good on earth, I"
said the papers. .Informally he was sup
posed to be on the inside, and deserves to
be punished on general principles, but he
did not fire the shot that killed old man
Smell He had not the nerve to attempt a
burglary like that perpetrated in SHELLS
house the night of the murder. He was q
mere boy and as valuable to the officers,
more for what he knows than for what he
did"
Then you think Tascott is not really
the man they are looking for?"
.'Fm sure he is not. In the first place
they know where he is and have known all
all along. and N the second place there is
much larger game to be bagged. Tascott

WASHINGTON, May ls.-Mr. Romero, the
Mexican Minister, speaking TO a represen-
tative of the United Press last evening,
about the suicide of Benson, who was to
have been sent back to Mexico for trial for
selling fraudulent Paeti tickets. said that
he regretted very much the occurrence.
and believed it very rash act and
entirely uncalled for Benson, once
in Mexico, Senor Romero added,
would have been tried by iury
which might possibly have acquitted him,
because the Mexicans far from having, in
fact, any iil-will against Benson, could not
help adniring the ingenuity, adroitnesa
and audacity with which he deceived them,
and felt rather kindly toward him. A
prominent Mexican gentleman. who was in
Washington on Wednesday last and heard
the decision in the Benson case read at the
Supreme Court expressed the opinion to
Senior Romero that the Mexican jury
would acquit,. Benson. But even in
case it would not have been done
SO. Senor Romero added, Benson
would in all probability have been
sentenced to a short term Of imprisonment.
and if he had behaved well in the prison.
he mighr have been pardoned long before
the expiration of his sentence. The Mexi-
cans, Senior Romero said, are not vindic-
tive people, and profess, on the contrary,
great admiration for any personal quail
ties, even in swindlers, and he felt sure
that all their sympathies would have been
engaged in Benson's behalf, had he been
tried in Mexico. ---- ---

Exciting Session.
PErExsBuRG, Va, May ls.-The Republi-
can State Convention met here yesterday
and the first session was q very exciting
one. The trouble commenced when the
Chairman called for reports from the dele
CATION present. Two or three reports had
been read. when Senator Riddleberger
raised a point OF order that the Districts
hod no right to report any other matter
until the Committee on Credentials had de-
cided who were legal delegates. Chair
ruled Mr.. Riddleberger out of order and he
retired. As he turned to go there were
cries of Go" 81 will CO." replied
Mr.. Eiddleberger, "and when [ re-
turn, you will beg me"
He then left the hall. The Chair pro-
ceeded with the call. Two sets of commit
tesmen were reported from the Seventh
district. After much confusion, the ques-
ton was laid aside temporarily and the
convention took another recess till 9 D. m.
After the convention reassembled and Col.
Lamb had been determined upon as per-
manent chairman, two delegations were
reported from the Richmond district. Ex-
Congressman John D. Wise got the floor
and made hot speech. He said that out
of 8, 900 Republican voters in Richmond,
4, 500 were for him; that he had 45 out of So
delegates and yet he had been discarded
and rejected. He had been beaten by
bribery, rascality and corruption. The
time had come when loyalty meant moth
ing but servility. He proposed to go to
Chicago with his complaint and appeal to
the National Convention. In conclusion

unit rule to follow him out of the hall. He

InquirinK into venezeuIn Anairs.

LONDON, May ls.-In the House of Conn.,
mons last night Colonel William West in
quired if the Government at Washington
would take any action against Venezeula
in order to recover outstanding claims of
Americans, and also whether England in
tended to anything regarding the discon-
tent felt in British Guiana owing to the
delay in delimiting the frontiers and if the
Government were prepared to state what
action had been determined upon against
Venezeula. Sir James Ferguson, political
secretary for the foreign Office, replied that
the Government were not aware of any
discomfort in British Guiana and declined
to say what action would be taken in re-
gard to the boundaries.
Sir John Gorst, political secretary of the
India Office, answering a request made by
Professor James Stuart, that the Govern
ment direct the Viceroy of India to secure
repeal of the Indian contagious disease
act, said that such requests did not become
the Government; that the Viceroy had al
ready refused the petition presented by the
Ladies' Mission at Cacutta, to extend the
protection of the criminal law to young
girls, on the ground that girls of l6 were
already protected.
