fortune which was for a time out OF her
reach. In one or two instances she cx-

United States government of the amount
of $3.50, 900, for the payment of a myth

TO Be OR NOT TO BE.
That is the Question Regarding
Government Telegraph.
The Western Union President
Has His Little Say.
Readings Recent Strike Under
Discussion in the Senate.
Discussing Government Telegraph.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator Saw
yer. chairman of the senate post office
committee, called his committee to order
at IL O'Clock this morning and DR.. Norvin
Green, president of the Western Union,
addressed the committee i'll opposition to
the government telegraph bills. He de-
voted himself first, though briefly, 10 the
constitutional questions to which the
measure gives rise. He quoted a decision
of the supreme court in effect that tele-
graph is necessary to commerce, and that
the telegraph business is in itself com
merce. He touched upon this constitu-
tional point, he said, merely because he
did not wish the committee to understand
the company waived it. He claimed that
no people on earth enjoyed as perfect n
system of telegraph as the Americans.
Green then compared the telegraph sys-
TENS of England and the United States,
and asserted that the long distance rates
of the Western Union were cheaper than
any other long distance rates in the world.
He said the Western Union enjoyed no
exclusive franchises or legislative grants,
and that the field was open to anybody
who might chose to enter it. The rates
would be reduced during the present year.
The Western Union had to pay from one
to two hundred thousand dollars a year
for mistakes. If the government did run
the telegraph system, it must take the
existing line'. No private enterprise
could run against the national treasury
setting out to do business for nothing. He
wished to say concerning the Western
Union that its value as stated by the press
would not buy wire at the ~factoty, and
the company other equipments amount
ed to three or four times the value of the
wire. He stated that the proT ersy ofthe
Western Union could not possibly be du-
plicated to day for its capitalization.
Il am told, the doctor continued,
that a petition bearing 500, 900 sigma
lures IS to be sent to this committee in
favor Of a government system. They will
come by command, originating in spite
against one man, with whom Powdelly
had a quarrel, and not 1000 men who will
sign have ever seen a telegraph message =
DIR. Green was followed by Gardner G..
Hubbard, who spoke over an hour in
favor OF the establishment of a govern
ment system OF telegraph.
The committee adjourned indefinitely at
the conclusion of Hubbard's remarks.

Don Carlos VIII be There.

LONDON. Jan. 2O.-In an interview at
Venice, Don Carlos declared that Spain
must become one of the great European
powers; that her navy must be immcdi-
ately strengthened, and hat obligatory
military service was essential. The pres,
ent monarchy, he said, was untitled to
carry on the work before it, and unless it
was replaced he was strongly of the opin
ion that a republic would soon come.
The Spanish future lay in Morocco and
South America. Don Carlos expressed
his readiness to fight in the Spanish ranks
the moment he was called.
1t is stated that Spain is organizing an
expedition for Morocco to consist of $50,
600 men.

New York, Jan. O-Extradition
proceedings against Charles Benson, the
rowing swindler who victimized Mexicans
to the amount $25, 900 by selling bogus
Patti opera tickets, were begun to-day
before United States Commissioner Ly-
man. Benson's lawyers had three Mex
lean witnesses who happened in town at
the time of Benson's arrest and also mar
shalled Manager Abbey and Sub Manager
Mayer. The old complaint of forgery
was with drawn by the prosecution, and
instead Benson was charged with having
forged the name of Henry +. Abbey to a
letter and that of Marcus r. Mayer to
the tickets, both of which acts were com
mitted in the City of Mexico. A number
of witnesses were examined, after which,
at the request of Abbey's counsel, the
case was continued one week.

q HANGED

BosToN, Jan. 2O.-James Il. Nowlin
was hanged at Cambridge Jail this morn
ing at 9:23, for the murder of George A.
Goldman, his employer, on Jan. 4, 1887.
The details of the murder, which was
committed for money, and for which
young Nowlin was executed, mark 1t the
most horrible in the history of New Eng
land. Nowlin, who was only II, was
employed by Goldman to deliver milk.
According to Nowlin's confession, he
went to the barn and waited for Goldman
early in the morning, and when he ap-
pcared, he struck him in the neck with a
knife. killing him instantly. He after
ward cut up the body so that he could
carry it, and putting the parts in an old
milk wagon, drove about fifteen miles
away and threw out the pieces, where
they were found by a farmer.

Discussing the Strike.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2O.-The subject
of the Reading railroad strike came up
before the house committee On commerce
to. day, through request of the sub-com-
mittee to which had been referred the
Anderson resolution providing for inquiry
into the strike, hat it be discharged from
further consideration of the matter. As
the reason for making this request, the
subcommittee stated that it regarded the
subject as one of such gravity as to de-
mand consideration at the hands of the
full committee. After a short discussion
the request was granted and al earnest
debate ensued upon the merits of the
proposition. 1t appears that the commit
tee is pretty evenly divided, a number of
its members favoring immediate inquiry
into the strike, while perhaps as many
more take the ground that If the strike
concerns anything more than private in
terests and is properly the subject for in
v~estigation by the government, the in.
quiry should be made by the interstate
commerce commission, which has jurisdic-
ton, if the public rights are concerned.
The matter will be further considered next
Tuesday, when an effort will be made to
dispose of the resolution. 1t is under
stood hat a delegation from the knights
of Labor will try to secure a hearing upon
that day to present their side Of the case.

as sleeping in hospital beds and receiving
female visitors in the privacy of their
cells; with brutal cruelty to prisoners and
