Rowland, prominent citizen of this city,

began to yell as loudly as possible and to
beg for help. His cries were heard all
over the City Hall and across on Second

hour, Jackson steadily denying that he
knew the name Of the man who had given

declined to saw any thing in his defense.

WAUKEGAN, ILL.,, April 2L-Hon. Elijah
NJ. Hsines. ex-Speaker of the lower house
of the State Legislature and for many
years prominent figure in State politics,
died at his home here Thursday morning
of paralysis. He was one Of the early sst-
tiers Of Chicago and his tail, thin figure
had been familiar one throughout North
ern Illinois for a great many years. He
was much respected as a citizen and ex-
ercised great influence politically, as was
evidenced in his repeated election to the
State Legislature, in which he served
probably longer than any other member
of that body. He was greatly interested
in the Indian race. to whose history he de.
voted quarter of a century of study.

Strong and Favorable Testimony Intro

Strong and Favorable Testimony Intro
duced on His Behalf.
WASHINGTON, April 24-There is little
doubt that the testimony given in secret
session before the ARISES court martial has
been favorable to Major Armes. This
testimony has proceeded from a wholly
unexpected quarter. and will be likely to
give the army officers some embarrass-
ment il, as asserted, there is a very de-
termined effort on the part of some of
them who are West Point men to deprive.
Armes of his commission. The testimony
will be very apt to call the attention of
the court martial to frs. principles, and
to cause it to cons der what the legal au-
thority of the demonstration on March
is. The testimony given by Sergeant.at.
Arms Canaday. of the United States Sen.
ate, is believed to be that Major Armss
held his position in the procession, and
was assigned to the place. which he en-.
deavored to occupy, and from which he
was removed. by virtue of a letter ad.
dressed to him by the committee OH ar
engagements on the part of the United
States Senate. and that no other officer
in that procession held his place by virtue
Of any other, any higher or any bet
ter title than that by which Major Arme s
held his. 1t is a fact that Major Armes
received letter of authority from the
sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, issued in
accordance with instructions given him
by the committee placed by Congress in
charge of the Inauguration ceremonies.
Sergeant-at-Arms Canaday stated before
he testified that he, Armes. had been given
letter just as every one else had. If this
should be sustained the prospect that
Armes will be acquitted on this branch Of
the inquiry is good. For the court.
martial, as august body as it may be
when it arraigns those over whom it has
jurisdiction, will hardly venture to place
the Congress of the United States on
trial at its bar. Nor will the court martial
deny the right of Congress to control the
Inauguration ceremonies. II tho Congress
sional committee gave to Major Armes
authority not only to appear in the pro-
cession, but gave him particular duty, he
had as much right in the parade as the
Grand Marshal had. and has as much
right IL ask for a codrt martial Of those
who excluded him from it as they have
had IL attempt to court martial him for
taking part in it. The impression pre-
vailing at the beginning of the inquiry that
Armes would lose his commission as an
officer Of the army on ths retired list is
not as strong as it was even q week ago
