BlRCHALL MAY CONFESS.
A Number of Admissions Made Relative
to BenwelI's Murder.

WOODSTOCK, ONT, Oct. 6.-Since his convie-
tion Dircball has been constantly taking about
the murder Of Benwen. and it is probable that
before the date set for his execution arrives he
will have made a clean breast of the crime He
has already made a number of important
admissions regarding the case. He acknowl-
edges that he was accessory and confesses
that he took Benwell TO East Woodstock and
beyond in the direction OF the swamp where the
body of the young EslisEman was discovered,
but denies that IL Was his hand that slew Ben.
well. He does not say much about his nego-
tlatlons with the victim and his father though
he freely admits he went in TO swindle both
them and Peiy
Mrs. Blrchall had an interview with her
husband Saturday afternoon for the first time
since he was condemned to death. The inter-
view was a brief and affecting one, Birchal
exhibiting considerable emotion.
Ii is gathered from the general drift Of Birch
alls talk that the program was TO take Benwell
to Lake Ormuskeg beyond the place where the
body was found. Had Bcnwell been killed and
thrown in, the chances are a hundred to one
that the body would never have been found.
Ii is believed also that Blrchals original inten-
ton was to go on O few miles to DruInbo, where
he could have taken the Buffalo and Lake
Huron road TO Buffalo.

SENATOR BLAIR'S SUCCESSOR.
What New Hampshire State Senator
Knows About the Campaign There.

III you think We amt having lots OF fun up
in New Hampshire then you've lost your grip
on the situation"
The speaker was a republican state senator
from the granite subdivision of this continent
and be was talking to srAn reporter while
waiting for his train to roll OF the government
reservation it was then occupying and through
public streets past miles Of standing freight
cars toward his northern homo.
''Of course, you know" he continued, 'that
Blair is out for reelection; but may be you are
no. aware Of the fact that one William E.
Chandler does not want Mr. Blair returned and

Oh, yes. know that Chandler has been sick,

occasion when everybody believed he would

E1-Gov. p. c. Cheney, who has lots OF friends
in this city. is said to have the Chandler infiu-
ence. and if he can only combine that with the
assistance Blair might give him his chances are
good, at least
Another candidate for senatorial honors is
ex-Gov. n. G. Ordway, who has. l believe, busi-
ness interests of some importance in this
city For some time past ordway has been
smiling sweetly upon North Dakota, but without
any appreciaable result He has suffered much
disappointment and has returned to his first
love. Incidentally may remark that our peo-
pie are dead onto him. as il were, and his
chances for senatorial bonors in New Hamp-
shire are about as good as they would be if he
was trying to succeed the pope of Rome"

BETTER AND CHEAPER,
Postmaster General on Restoring the
Telegraph to the Postal Service.

The closing word In the discussion which has
been in progress before the House committee
on postal telegraph facilities has been uttered
by Postmaster General Wanamakcr in COM
munication addressed to Representative Bing-
ham, chairman Of the committee. Mr.. Wana-
maker says that latter standing for a year past
In the middle Of the controversy over pos tai
telesraphy, that for over forty years has gone
on with sharper tongue and widening range, I
am more than ever convinced of the wisdom
and practicability Of restoring he-telegraph to
the postal service, and make it what it
was originally intended to be, a part of the
postal service. / say this after closely study
ing the arguments against the bill, made SO
vigorously by the great telegraph company
which is now its only visible opponent" Mr.
Wsnamaker believes that large majority Of
the
PEOPLE DEMAND THIS CHANGE,
and it cannot bo resisted with success, as the
people cannot be turned back from their pur-
pose to quicken and cheaper their means of
communication. In regard to the argument
advanced, that government telegraph is un-
constitutional Mr.. Wanamaker states that the
old government telegraph schemes were con-
stitutional and 1t ia preposterous to urge that
the telegraph ought not to be utilized for
the cheaper, speedier and more accurate trans
mission OF messages.
NEITHER EFFICIENT xoA CHEAP
He denies that thespresent telegraph service
is either efficient or cheap. He quotes state
ments from boards Of trade, prominent indi-
viduals and labor organizations in favor OF this
change. MIR. Wauamaker gives q description
OF the limited plan of postal telegraph which it
is proposed to put into operation

LAUDED AS HEROES.
The Mormons Confined In Prison for
Breaking the Law.

SALT LAKE, Oct 6.-At the Mormon confer
ence yesterdayGeo 9. Cannon spoke of the lofty
conceptions Of the Saints and especially regard
ing the future state. So advanced are the Saints
ideas that when other people attempt 10 fol.
low them they get lost in the magnitude Of the
precepts. He believed the brethren in the
penitentiary would be more prosperous when
they got out than if they had not got in. be-
cause they could say they had not broken any
OF the covenants they had made. He thanked
God he lived among such people, those who
were not afraid OF the consequences and tool
their punishment like heroes The time ID
coming when this conduct of the Latter Day
S9ints would stand out as the brightest page in
modern history. Their sufferings would be &C.
ceptablc TO the Lord.
Cannon further said that the Saints would
obey the laws and bow in Submission 10 the
nations will and leave the consequences with
the Lord. He told the people not to worry
about 1891; that Christ would not come then.
In the afternoon President Woodruff spoke.
He said the Lord is about to prune his vine
yard for the last time, and that sprouts would
fall like grain before the mower. He spoke OF
the martyrdom Of Joseph Smith and the cruci-
fxion OF Christ as events of like import He
indorsed Cannon's remarks and further said
that when any event transpired TO deprive the
Saints OF their privileges they would remember
il is the will Of God.

DOES ANYBODY KNOW HIM?

The body of an unknown man was
found on April %, evidently dead several
weeks, in Mill creek, near Salem, Oregon.
When he was last seen alive he was carry
ing valise, which, it is presumed, con-
tanned valuables The valise has not been
found, which gives rise to the suspicion of
foul play. He probably weighed 100
pounds, was 80 years old, and five feet ten
inches high Was neatly dressed in blue
suit and had an overcoat buttOned tightly
around him.
The coroner's jury returned verdict
that the man was unknown, and might
have come to his death from drowning or
from foul play. The following from the
Daily Oregon Statesman gives the subject
local interest:
On his person was found a carpenters
foot rule, match box, small phial of medi-
cine, strap and torn letter, containing
these words:
Wichita, Kan, Sept. 20, 1ss9-Dear
Sir-Send 81 and l - - - you certl-
fed copies -- papers. Yours truly
The signature was torn off, but the letter
was written on a Sedgwick county, Kan
cas-. official letter head, on which was a
picture of the court house and words
showing that it was from the Office Of {.
II. Luling, district clerk.
