Mrs. Hurnser placed it in the
family of w. j. White to bs
adopted. Subsequently, Miss 6challer
wished TO recover possession of her child,
and applied to Mrs. White, when that lady
informed her chat the baby she had was not
an adopted child, but was her own. The
testimony before the court was most con-
hicting, but Mr.. and Mrs. White brought
many witnesses to show that the baby was
theirs. They have had it in charge during
the trial. To-day the judge was TO render
his decision, but Mrs. White appeared in
court without the child.

TENNESSEE ELECTIONS,
Result Of the Investigation In the
Tenth District.

Result OF the Investigation In the
Tenth District.
MEMPHIS, TENN, June 15.-The United
States grand jury, which has been investi-
eating the manner in which elections in the
Tenth congressional district have been con-
Quoted during the past four years, submit
ted its report to the court this morning.
Indictments were returned against nearly
all the judges and clerks, some 200 in num-
Der, Of the last election in this
congressional district. The particular
offense for which most OF these men are in
dicted is for not returning the poll list and
count to the clerks Of the circuit courts of
their respective counties, as the law re-
quires. The balance ef them are indicted
for taking election books away from the
polling places to conduct the count. When
Badenii and Others were indicted here at
the last term of the United States circuit
court for refusing to allow an
elector to be present at the
count Of the vote, the Judgment of
the court was that no offense bas been com
mitted upon the technical ground that the
court was conducted in private room, and
that the judges had right TO exclude any
one. 1t is for counting the vote at places
other than the polling places that many Of
these indictments are found.

FITZGERALD SPEAKS OUT.
?. W. Dune of Penkin, ILL.,, formerly of
Chicago, received to-day a letter in re-
sponse, he says, to request for the presi-
dent of the Irish National League Of Amer
lea, to speak out publicly" Dune claims to
be the person who made the origi-
nal charges against Alexander Sulli-
van as far back as 1882. The
year following Sullivan was elected as first
president OF the league in this country.
Dune this evening expressed dissatisfaction
with the tone of the letter from Sullivan's
successor, intimating that it was not as rad
ical as was desired. The letter is as fol-
lows:
LINCOLN, NEB., June H. 1889.
p W Dune. ESQ.,
DEAR SIR: The members of the Irish National
Land League of America are law-abidng citi-
zens of the United States, and hold murder in
as much adherence as any other element of the
community can possibly do so Honest men
are not necessitated to protest their honesty,
ard the league has not need to pro-
test its sorrow of murder None but
those whose wish is father to the thought would
for and instant couple the name of the Irish
National League of America with crime Of any
kind, much less with the deplorable tragedy of
which your city has been the theater. There is,
therefore, no necessity for protests or
apologies Of any kind from the
Irish National League of America in connection
with the murder of DR.. Cronin. A foul crime
has been committed, the laws of the country
have been outraged, and it is the duty of the
officers of the law to find out and punish crimi-
mails. Yours faithfully.
JOHN FITzGERALD,
President Irish National League of America.

OUR VICTORY AT BERLIN.
UNCLE SAM COMES OUT OF THE
CONFERENCE FIRST BRsE.

The London Times Points Out Some
of the Significant Facts of the Re-
suit-Germany Must Think Twice
.sBefore Provoking a Collision With
sThis Country.
LONDON, June 15.-The Berlin corre-
spondent Of the Times says the Americans
have undoubtedly emerged from the Sa-
moan conference with flying colors. Ger
many has to content herself with much less
political predominance in Samoa than she
claimed at Washington two years ago.
This result is much more due TO the firm
and inexorable attitude of Mr.. Blaine than
to any political leanings of England toward
the power which it is her highest aim to
concihate.
The Times, in an editorial on the Samoan
agreement, says: perhaps it is as well that
Prince Bismarck has been made to realize
that where American interests are con-
cerned, the American government is very
little affected by many of those considera-
tions which restrain the action of those
European governments with which he is
more accustomed to deal. 1t is easy to see
that there might be many reasons why it
would be inexpedient for England to follow
the line OF policy in regard to German
action in Samoa which it is natural and
necessary for America to pursue. 1t is
not less plain that even Germany must
think twice or thrice before provoking a
collision with America over such a cues
ton. Therefore we rejoice at the influence
of America SO moderately and effectually
exerted."
ENFORCEMENT OF IT'S PROVISIONS.
BERLIN, June 15.-Several provisions of
the Samoan treaty will be enforced before
the treaty is formally ratified. The consuls
at Apia will forthwith invite Samoa's ad-
hesion to the treaty.

BERLIN, June 15-The American dele
gates to the Samoan conference are much
compllmented on the result of their labors.
Mr.. Phelps is regarded by every one as the
coming United States minister, though he
himself denies that he has been offered
the position. The official press is
disinclined to dwell upon the matter of the
Samoan settlement, all the glory of which
is lost to Germany, and brief paragraph
in the North German Gazette, on the con-
clusion of the conference states that an
agreement was arrived at with perfect
unanimity by thelpowers represented, and
to the satisfaction Of all the parties con-
cered.

sARRY's NEW LABOR ORDER.
It Ia Radically Different from the
Knights of Labor.

Knights of Labor.
CHICAGO, June 15.-The organized com.
mittee of the new labor organization known
as the Brotherhood of United Labor met
last night. T. B. Barry presided. 1t was
reported that labor organizations represent
ing about 1000 members had signified their
intention of uniting with the new order.
Mr.. Barry presented his plan of govern
meat for the new order, which is radical
departure from the methods used by the
Knights of Labor. All power is vested in
the local organizations, and the annual con-
vention and executive officers can only advise
measures, having no power to formulate
a policy of their own. They cannot order
a strike or draw one of, nor can they levy
an assessment of any kind, but may recon-
mend one, though they cannot enforce it.
The organization contemplates local, cen.
tral, state and not national branches. John
E. Ahles of Davenport, Ia, and George e.
Detwiler of Chicago were elected delegates
to the worlds congress of labor which is to
meet in Paris July IA.
