Western Union Men Found Out I'm q
Scheme to Knock Down on Charges.

ABERDEEN, S. d., March 5-william Blood,
formerly Western Union manager here, who
was arrested in November for embezzlement
and discharged for lack Of evidence, was
brought in last night from Council Bluffs under
an indictment found upon similar charge at
the last term of court. His former examina-
ton, it is said, tended prove the existence of
widespread conspiracy among operators to
knock down" business by the old false check
system. Later investigation and the admissions
OF several OF those implicated alleged to have
shown that Blood was organizer and chief of
the combine. 1t is charged that he worked
persistently to induce several operators to Join
the plot and his stealings said to have ex-
ceeded $500 during the few months he was in
charge of the local Office

TWO ANGELUS PAINTINGS.
| ADOubt Raised Against the Genuineness
of the Famous Picture.

CHICAGO, March 5.-The Daily Ne,cs under
the heading "A Sensation in Art" publishes an
article tending to throw doubt upon the gen.
uineness of the painting Il Angelus, attributed
to Jean Francis Millet, now on exhibition in
this city. 1t is pointed out that the cyclopedia
of paintings and painters, issued in 1887,
states that at that date the
'Angelus" was owned by MIR. W. T. Walters
Of Baltimore. The Daily Ne,cs then quotes
the history OF the painting given by Its
present owner, the American art association,
notes the name of Mr.. Walters is not mentioned
among former owners, and points out that the
account runs over the period between 1885 and
1889, during which, according to the cyclo-
pedia, Mr.. Walters was the owner of the
famous painting. The article continues: The
question now is: How and why and when did
Mr.. Walters dispose of his "Angelus?" No one
knows of two "Angelus" paintings. Yet if Mr.
Walters "Angelus" recorded in the cyclopedia
is the 'Angelus" now on exhibition here in Chi
cago it must have been sold some time
prior to 1889, for in that year, SO we are told,
MIR. Jas. 7. Sutton bought the 'Angelus" for
exhibition at the Secretan sale in Paris. When
did the sale of Mr.. Walters picture take place?
Certainly painting as famous and much ad-
mired as this one would not change hands
without any ones hearing about il. Does Mr..
Walters still own his '.Angelus?" II SO the
painting now on exhibition in this city is only
replica. Did he sell it to the Secretan collec-
tion or direct to his friend, Mr.. Sutton? Then
Is that SllO, 800 purchase on behalf of the Amer
icsn art institute a myth? Mr. sutton must
know MIR. Walters collection by heart, and
this fact in itself casts suspicion upon the valid
ity of the $ll0.600 purchase. 1t would be
strange indeed if he should give such sum
for a mere replica. But then, taking the other
horn of the dilemma and supposing that Mr.
Walters parted with the painting, not attach
ing any special value to it, it would be equally
strange that Mr.. Sutton did not buy the
"Angelus" direct from Mr.. Walters Strang-
est Of all it would seem it, after being exhibited
in every city of the United States, the "Ange-
lus should be repurchased by Mr.. Walters at q
serious advance, say $50, 900, and find its way
back to its old place in the gallery at Balti-
more.
THE ORIGINAL SKETCH 70 IN BALTIMORE.
BALTIMORE, March 5-The sensational article
which appeared in the DAILY Neaos of Chicago
this morning and which was telegraphed to
Baltimore in the Associated Press dispatches,
was read to Mr.. VIM. I. Walters at his home in
this city. No. Mount Vernon place.
Mr. Walters listened attentively to the read
ing of the story OF the Chicago Ne,os and then
said: 1t is well known that there has been in
the Walters collection the original design of

and white representation has never been ont

THE HOUSE.

Immediately after the reading of the journal
the consideration Of the Arkansas election case
OF Feathertone w. Cate was resumed and the
contestee was accorded the floor to speak in
his own behalf. 1t was the duty of members, he
said, not to elect today a Representative from
the first district of Arkansas. but laying aside
party preludlce, laying aside every sentiment
OF possible party exigency, past present or to
come, to determine whom the people OF that
district had chosen to represent them. He
was not seeking personal vindication nor
dreadlnS personal denunciatiOh; he was stand
ing here as representative of AZ, 900 freemen
and asking justice for them.
DEFENDING ARKANSAS.
Mr.. McRae (Ark. in a minute speech
defended and eulogized the people of his state
Those people, he said, were not in favor of
violence. They were for the law apd the Con-
stitution and every imputation that had been
cast against their repute was without founda-
ton. II he were to charge great state like
Kansas with the crime and in the manner that
his people had been charged the people of
that state would say that he had the spirit of
assassination about him, and if he were tried
by his own people he would be convicted of the
charge.
CHARGES OF FRAUD AND INTIMIDATION.
Mr.. Houk (Tenn.), who has charge of the
case for the majority OF the committee ON elec-
tions, made forcible presentation OF the claims
Of the contestant, and although he addressed
himself especially to the evidence in the case
(Which is usually dry procedure) he infused
much interest and amusement into his re-
marks. He charged that the ..Arkan-
sas bulldozing community" had entered
into conspiracy to prevent the return of
Featherstone TO Congress and dwelt upon the
frauds which he said had been perpetrated
in Crittenden county. There he claimed that
democratic election officers had been appointed.
III violation Of law-an assertion which was re-
sponded to by Mr.. Outhwaite (Ohio) with the
denial that there was evidence in the case 10
prove 1t.
Mr.. Houk retorted that the gentleman would
deny the ten commandments, and he reiterated
his charge of fraud and intimidation.

people Of the south should be given . fair
