FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE.
Ministers Want a Federation Formed 4

Ministers Want q Federation Formed for
International Arbitration.
LONDON, July 17.-Rev. Mr.. Bevan, of
Melbourne. presided at meeting of min
listers held this evening in the City Temple
in support of the formation of federation
of Englisb-speaking peoples for interna-
tioDal arbitration and universal peace.
Rev. Newman Hall, in dwelling upon the
practicsbility of arbitration. lnstanced the
Alabama question. the solution of which, he
said. had more closely allied the peoples
of England and America. He prayed
that the Queen would not suffer harm. but
he would not pray that the Queen would
vanquish all her enemies when he believed
the enemies were in the right. He was
willing to risk the charge of disloya lty,
knowing they were under higher loyalty.
Rev. Mr.. Patterson, of Hanover, New
Hampshire, said that as American Chris
tiaps they had come TO England, the land
OF their fathers, to take counsel how to pro-
mote the cause of permanent universal
peace. He regarded with special pleasure
the fnct that the highest legislative powers
in England and America had placed IL ON
record that they we're in favor of a perma-
nent treaty providing for peaceful arbi-
traton of future contentious arising be-
tween them.

of this week to take part in comic play,

along very smoothly until late Thursday
night, when Newman evinced all the
symptoms of hydrophobia. He would
strive to get down on all tours, give pecul-
lar barks or sounds similar to those made
by q hound dog, and would scratch, en-
deavor to bite. and in other ways acted
like persons are said to act who have been
bitten by rabid dogs. Doctors were speedi-
ly called. and they have been doing what
they can to alleviate the sutferings of the
man. At times he is rational. and begs
his wife to keep away from him. lest
he do her injury. Mrs. Newman says that
some three or four months ago her husband.
who was 81 that time assisting in theater
at Minneapolis, accidentally stepped upon
an old dog that was lying down. The in
furiated animal sank It's teeth IN his leg,
but Newman went about his duties for
some time before doing any thin for the bite.
Then he was bled, and bathed the wonnd.
Aside from severe pain at times he had not
complained OF the bite since. On lnnrs-
day afternoon his wife noticed that he had
a peculiar wild look. and he himself re-
marked that he felt like jumping ont of
the window of his room. but this seemed
for the time being to pass away. The man
was biackened up to take tho part of ne

again coming on. Doctors came hastily
and gave him morphine. but at o'clock

HAMPTON, Va, July f7-Defeated yester-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-[Speciall-
The Roanoke public building bill be-
came a law to-day without the signature
of the President. Ten legal DAYS have
elapsed since the bill was sent to the
President, and by constitutional limita-
ton the bill becomes n law.
The President had stated within the
month that he would sign 10 more pub
lie building bills this session. and his
action in this instance is credited di-
rectly to. the representations OF Senator
Daniel and Representative Edmunds,
and to the direct and warm interven-
ton OF the Postmaster-General in be-
half Of Roanoke.
The bill was originally introduced in
tho Senate, and as it passed that body
appropriated 100000. This sum was
cut down to $50, 600 by the House com
mittee, but raised to $4,000 on tho
floor, and thus passed. A conference
committee was appointed and the Senate
accepted tho House amendment, the
bill going to the President OH the 18th
instant.
Representative Edmunds and Senator
Daniel promptly followed up the meas
ure by calling upon the President and
urging him to consider tho measure
favorably. A full exposition was made
of the growth of the Magic City, it's
business and rapid development. No
direct response was given that the bill
would be signed, but tho matter was
left open.
Mr.. Harrison asked if there would bo
any difficulty in renting the spare
rooms which would be in the building,
and was answered that they would be
easily rented as Offices at prices which
would bring in a large percentage of
their value, but tina the CITY and it's
postal business wcr" growing so rapidly
that by tho time tho building was
finished it would in all probability be
all needed.

DEFENDING DANIEL.
Captain Berkeley Says a Word
in His Behalf.

TIE TIMES, of February 13 and II.
published accounts of the life, character
and actions of tho prisoner, Edward
Daniel, now in Jail, under Indictment,
charged with the murder of Mr.. Massie.
Tho statements then published have
never peer disproved by anyone with
facts, and tho matter rests with tho
Roanoke people, and the public gener-
ally, as THE TIMES reported it.
Where THE TINES obtained it's infor-
nation was and has been n mystery to
most inquirers after the truth, but it
sufiices to say that it was obtained in
such n way that would take time and
patience to hunt down, link by link,
here and there, until the whole was
complete. Daniel is still in Jail, and is
now suffering with tho grippe, but he
has secured excellent counsel, and tn @
people may expect a spirited defense.
His counsel is determined to leave no
stone unturned, and will GO to the bot.
tom Of every fact in the Ease.
A TIMES reporter had an interview
with Captain Berkeley yesterday in
reference to his line of defense. Refer
ring to tho article published in THE
TINES of the 18th instant Mr.. Berkeley
said:
THE power and influence of the
public journal, having the confidence of
the public,as you have, to shape or work
public thought, is no longer a question
which admits of discussion. To guide
public sentiment and to critziise every
act, whether that of 4 public servant or
private citizen, when the welfare of the
public is concerned, is not only a right,
but 4 duty; its influence is recognized as
being more powerful than arms or riches;
1T is considered, and justly SO, the great
est bulwark of n peoples liberty, and
its effect for veal or woo, are only to be
measured by the application of its
power"
Capt. Berkeley objects to the publica-
ton of such information concerning the
record of his client as has appeared in
IL ZINES, thinking that it will do in
jury to his client by prcjudicing the
public against him. He objects also to
the secrecy of the prosecution, and con-
tinucS: 81 ask that the names of the
young lady he duped (?) be given. |
ask that her parents names be given,
or that, at least, the locality be fixed;
that opportunity be given him to meet
his accuserS.
Though l may never receive one
cent for the labor which circumstance
has forced upon me; though he may be
~pre-judged and be the object of hate
and revenge; though he be n child
of shame and disgrace; though he be
friendlcss and penniless, an outcast
and imbecile, | shall defend him with
the best of my ability in every form
whore he has tho right to appear"

a boy named Beaton heard the OK

where he knew his brother was at work

the chief topics of conversation. There
were plenty of volunteers to search for
all the bodies. Mcn who came to the

their coats and unhesitatingly went to
the rescue of their fellow-workmcn.
Many CHASTITY scenes were to be seen,
both on tho surface and under tho

fearfully mutilated thai they were
placed in bags Inc brought up to the

The explosion was moro disastrous to

Again in DURANGO Vile.

William NJ. Day was jailed again yes
terday evening at the instance of Mrs.
Sarah Worten. She got him out of
prison a few weeks ago on a hiring
bond, where he was serving out "a $3.50
fine for living with Bette Hall.
The bond specified hal Day had to
work, and Mrs. Worten was to have the
benefit of his labors and pay his fine to
the Commonwealth. But Day wouldn't
work; he loafed about, chung to Bcttie's
apron strings, and ate up Mrs. Wor-
tens victuals. This didn't pay Mrs.
Worten, and becoming alarmed for the
safety of her house and home, reported
the matter to the city sergeant.
Deputy Sergeant Wright saw him on
Salem avenue late yesterday and placed
him in the city Jail.
