MoreIY Denounce. Balfour.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-ln the commons
today the secretary of war, replying to a
question, said tnst pending the result Of
the legal proceedings taken by Sir VIM.
Gordon Cumming in the baccarat scan
ial, the department would not retire any
other officers.
This evening Merely, in accordance
with a notice previously given, moved
that the house adopt the vote censuring
the Irish executive for its action in the
Tipperary prosecutions. He referred to
the incarceration of O'Brien and Dillon
in prison and said this was the climax OF
the pro ecutions. He bad not been hos
tile to the police until after seeing to
what a pitch of decentralization, brutality
aud lawlessness the agencies of Balfour
had been brought to by Balfour's stand
ing up for their every act, right or wrong.
Cheers Referring to the trouble in
Tipperary, which he witnessed, Merely
said the police adopted a course on that
occasion for which, in England, Col. Cad
dell and every mau concerned would have
been csshiered, The police used brutal,
ferocious and absolutely unprovoked VIC
lence, of which any disciplined force in
the world ought TO be ashamed. He was
sstounded hat BalfOur accused him of ex-
aggeration. He (Morelyl was ready to
attest everything in court. 1t was no
fault of his that action had not
been brought. When the coercion act
was passed it was not intended that cases
like those 10 Tipperary should be with
drawn from a jury. The bench there was
deliberately packed. The selection of
Magistrates Shannon and Cronin was
about the most monstrous act Balfour had
ever committed. 1t was a prostitution OF
the tribunal. Morley then proceeded to
denounce the vindictiveness of the Irish
executive whose actions, which would not
be for a moment tolerated in England,
had slienated the people of Ireland.
Russells amendment, alleging that the
action OF the executive was made impera-
tive by the activity OF the Irish c%onspir-
acy, was an admission of the failure of the
coercion act. Time was rapidly bringing
the day neal when the government would
be brought to account.
Russell (Unionist) ridiculed Morely's
statements and upheld the action of the
Irish executive. The melting advice OF
Dillon and O'Brien had turned TIpperary.

ireland, into a place as desolate as il

Convicts Found Armed to the Teeth.
ST. PAUL, MINI, Feb. l6,-The de-
velopments at the state prison investigation
today were of a most startling character,
and indicate that had Albert Garvin of
Joliet, ILL.,, not been made warden at
Saltwater. nearly 500 prisoners would
have let themselves loose upon the state
by their own hands. The testimony
showed that there was absolutely no dis
cipline under Warden Randall; thst the
prisoners worked only when they wanted
to aud were armed to the teeth. When
Mr.. Gavin and his deputies made their
search of the cells they were surprised to
speechlessness by what they found. ln
one place they ran upon twenty-six fine
steel saws for cutting bars, in another two
slung shots and in annther a twenty five
inch steel jimmy. Wrapped up 10 a
''lifer's' bed-clothes they found a double
bladed az and two ten.inch jack-screws.
A ~seVen-year man, in for criminal assault,
had managed TO conceal q hand-ax, and
knives and razors we're found in blood
curdling Drofusion. There were sixty
seven, with blades from five to ten inches
long and htty-one razors. Besides this
array of murderous weapons, Warden
Garvin and his men gathered and placed
before the senators the following interest
ing collection: 1855 steel files from 4 inches
to IA inches long, 20 steel bits, 8 cold
chisels, 5 pairs of pincers, 6 drills, 20
punches and avis, "a hammers, I monkey
wrenches, one steel ratchet, 2 hand braces.
l set Of burglars nippers for turning keys.
Twelve bushels OF hinges, screws, bolts and
pieces OF steel in preparation for some
thing, one coil of brass wire, three small
oil stoves. one set OF steel drills, one set Of
molders' tools aud two pieces of steel s
inches long. The committee was dunn
founded at this array OF weapons. 1t was
evident that the prisoners were In con

YANKToN, S. D., Feb. l6.-Rev.
James Fl. KYLE. elected United States
senator to succeed Hon. Gideon G. Moody,
at Pierre this afternoon. is a native of St.
Lawrence county, New York state. He
is about 81 years old, and is Congrega-
tional minister of broad views. He was
ordained as a Congregational minister in
1884 and has since held pastorates at
Crested Butte, Colo, Ipswich aud Aber-
deem, 5. ID. Last summer he accepted the
position of financial agent for the Yank-
ton college. and IN the state election last
fall was elected a state senator from
Brown county on the Independent ticket.
The nomination WAS against his inclina-
lions and during the campaign he took no
part in election affairs. Early in the con-
test at Pierre, which has resulted in his
election to the United States senate. he
was asked to be a candidate for United
States senator in the independent caucus,
but refused until it was apparent that he
was the only possible chance for the In
dependents. BE is a staunch prohibI-
Zionist and was a Republican before the
last election.

PrTTsBURG, Feb. 16.-A steady down
pour of rain since yesterday has had the
effect of more or less seriously impeding
travel on almost every railroad entering

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. I6.-Fred
Haynie, colored, who resided in the
vicinity of Hendersonville, Sumner
county, was taken from his home at alAte
Eour last night by a mob and hanged to a
tree until he was dead. Haynie had been
strongly suspected for some time OF com
plicity in the burning OF barns and resi-
dences in that section, and it is SAID that
pretty positive proof of his guilt wa:
recently obtained. 1t is thought the moi
intended TO lynch several other negroes,
who were under suspicion, but failed 70
find them at their homes. During the
past few months sixteen barns and seven
dwelling houses in Sumner county have
been destroyed BY ~incendiaries, and much
excitement has existed in consequences.
Two negroes were recently arrested and
lodged in Jail in Gallatin, TO await trial a.
the mex term of the circuit court on the
charge of having fired the barn belonging
to a farmer near HendersonvilIe who lost
several valuable horses at the time. The
mob. after hanging Hsynie. quietly dis,
persed, and after their departure Haynie' 8
wife cut the body down, but found life
extinct. The coroner held an inquest,
and a verdict OF death at the hands OF
unknown parties was returned. 1t is
believed that the barn burners number
five or six, and that should any more
fires occur lynch law will again be resorted

The WHISKY Trust Case.


CHICAGO, Feb. I6.-The whisky trust
board of directors, at the close of their
meeting thus afternoon, made the follow
ing statement: We are holding our
regular monthly meeting in Chicago in
stead OF Peoria fol- the purpose of sscer-
tanning, as far as possible, the truth in re-
spect to the. charges made against the
secretary of the company. Such wide
spread publicity has been given to the
charges and so many false rumors are be-
ing spread through the press. that we
deem it our duty to make a brief state
ment. Since our election as directors we
have devoted our time and best endeav-
ors by honorable methods to the establish
ment of the business OF the company on a
paying basis. We made sush progress in
this direction that for many months the
company has been earning and paying
monthly dividends of ] per cent, equal to
6 per cent per annum on its stock, and
has, in addition, put aside u surplus each
month. our business showing a coutinu-
ouslv large increase in the output for
every month over the output for the cor
responding mouth of preceding years.
Outside competition has never been felt as
little as during the past six months, 10 the
midst OF our unexsmpled prosperity, that
any one interested IN the company should
imperil the immense interests OF It's stock
holders by such a scheme as charged, we
think no sane men will believe. In regard
to Gibson, We have to say hat the gen
tleman is of good character and high
standing, and he has been a faithful and
efficient secretary of the company, and
that we do not credit in the least that he
is guilty of the crime charged against
him. The interests oil the company will.
in our Judgment, in no wise be affected
by this charge.
Gibson's resignation has been rendered
and accepted. Gibson, IN his letter of
resignation. assures the directors in the
most emphatic terms that he is absolutely
innocent ef the charges made against him
aud that he will, IF justice prevails, sue
coed in fully establishing that fact, not
only to your satisfaction. but to that of
the whole world" The directors, in &C.
cepting the resignation, assured Gibson
Of their entire confidence in his honesty,
integrity and innocence.

At the conclusion OF Quay's remarks,

been reported from the committee of the
whole to the senate, the committee
amendments were agreed to in bulk, ex-
cept those in regard to the Hawaiian tel.
