counsel, when he was promptly arrested by
Block and taken to police headquarters.

The Senator Replies to the Numerous
Charges Made Against Him.
WASHINGTON Feb. 18.-Late last even.
ing Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, ad-
dressed the senate in refutation of charges
publicly circulated against him. He be,
gan by saying;
"Never, probably, since Alexander
Hamilton was hunted to death has one
in public life been pursued SO persistent
ly and Indignantly. The field of the
laalign efforts has been the entire Union
The assaults We're of character so mon,
strous as largely to carry with them then

nor would my constituents permit me to
remain member Of this senate Partly
through indifference to slander, a weapon
which has revcr had place in my po-
litical arsenal and partly by the advice
of friends, who urged me to treat the
assassins Of reputation as undeserying of
open controversy, | have permitted
without comment, the passing of the
flood of falsehood,'
Speaking of the principal charge made
against him, the senator said:
"1'he first assertion concerning my Of
fetal acts is that at rome time, or con
tinuously between the years of 1870 and
1882, | alone, or acting with another or
others, used the moneys of the state of
Pennsylvania for speculative or private
purposes denounce this statement as
absolutely false. In 1877 the Democratic
party of Pennsylvania elected state
treasurer and an auditor general, the
financial officers of the commonwealth.
A year or two later, pending their terms
of offices, | became engaged in stock
operations.
"In some transactions was associated
and Jointly interested with the gentle
man who was at that time the cashier of
the state treasury. These transactions
proved seriously disastrous, and | was
compelled to pay a portion of his losses
rs well as my own. In doing this it be-
came necessary to supply an alleged de-
ficiency he had caused in the treasury.
AS portion of the fund for this purpose
/ borrowed 100000 from the gentleman
who is at present my colleague in the
senate.
II gave him my Judgment note there,
for, the amount of which note paid
to him, dollar for dollar, years ago. Not
until the beginning of the settlement OF
our losses was aware that deficiency
existed, and had every assurance that
my associate was able to carry his share
of the losses. My connection thereafter
was simply with the aid of friends to
raise the necessary funds to supply the
deficit"
Refutation in a similar manner was
made of minor charges against the SEN

IMPLICATED TWO OTHERS.
A Convicted KentucNy Murderer Makes a
Confession.

| Confession.
LANCASTER, KY, Feb. 18.-James
Rose. who was convicted in the circuit
court here last week and sentenced to a
term of life Imprisonment in the peni-
tentiary upon charge of killing Andy
Bird last March, Monday evening made
full confession of the whole crime, an
equal to which was never committed in
Garrard county. In the confession he
implicates his father-in-law, Leonard
Scarborough, Sr, who is prominent
man in the Fall Lick neighborhood,
where Bird was murdered. Rose said
that old Scarborough bought q gun
from Jim Bryant through him, and after
loading it with handful of half balls,
swore to have Bird killed. Young
Scarborough, who is only Is years old,
and Rose then started hunting, Scarbor-
ough taking the double barreled gun
and Rose a rife. They went to Birds
home and found him near the premises.
Rose salutel Bird with the usual good
morning, and during the conversation
asked Bird If he made use of certain re-
marks concerning him. Bird said he
had not and started to prove it, hen
young Scarborough called Bird a id
lying s--n of b., and leveled his gun
on him. Bird demonstrated with an
oath and turned to run, when tcar-
borough sent bullet through his hack.
Bird fell and implored Rose to stop Scar
borough, who rushed up, and pacing
the muzzle at Birds head fired another
shot. The murderer and Ro3e then re-
turned to old Scarboroughs and told the
awful tale, whereupon old Scarborough,
taking in the terrible situation and the
fearful deed his son had committed,
sought through the bonds of relation by
affinity to get Rose to take the murder
upon himself promising to employ legal
counsel to clear him. Rose consented,
and gave himself up to the sheriff and
posse, who We're searching for the mur-
aerer. The confession was given to the
counsel who represented Rose. They
will ask for a postponement Of his re-
moval for sixty days to await the action
of the court. The confession has cre-
ated quite a sensation.

BANK SNEAKS
Get Away With a $57 900 Wal
let in London.
Two American Crooks Sus-
pected of Doing the Job.

One Engages Busy Clerk in Converse
tion While the Other snatehes For.
tune and Makes Good His Escape-The
Biggest Haul London Has Had In
Many Years--No Clew to the CuIprits.
LONDON, Feb. 19.--A decided sensa.
tion was caused in this city Monday by
daring bank robbery committed in
broad daylight. A stylishly dressed
man accosted in the National Provincial
Bank of England, No. 112 Bishop Gate,
within, clerk from the London branch
of the Bank VI Scotland The clerk from
the last mentioned bank was standing at
the public counter Of the National Pro
vincial bank in the act of making a de-
posit of money. When spoken to by the
stranger the clerk turned toward him
and replied to his question. While the
conversation, which only lasted a mo-
ment or so. was going on, man who
was evidently an accomplice of the styl-
ish stranger snatched from the clerk a
wallet containing bonds and checks rep
resenting many thousands of pounds and
ran out of the bank. He has not been
captured
The clerk who was robbed is q youth
named Mckenzie. He is only Is years
of age Upon his arrival at the National
Provincial Bank of England he went
right to the public counter and placed q
leather sachel containing Ell $50 in
Bank of England notes upon this coun-
ter. The notes were of various denom-
nations, from 81 900 downward
The two thieves who SO cleverly re-
lieved Mckenzie of this sum of money
are described by the police as being
"dude-like" i'll the extreme. They had
the appearance of fashionable young
men about town who had plenty of
means
Police officials who are investigating
are OF the opinion that the two bank
sneaks We're expert American thieves,
who have probably watched Mckenzie
for weeks while waiting a chance to re-
lieve him of some of the money he has
been in the habit of carrying from the
Bank of Scotland's London branch to
the National Provincial Bank of En-
gland. Mckenzie has been closely
questioned npon AL points bearing upon
the robbery, but seems unable to furnish
the police with any further clew than
description of the man who accosted
him. One of the National Provincial
bank clerks has furnished the police
with a description of the first thief's ac-
complice, the one who actually stole the
money.
The Bank of England notes are easily
disposed of, so that there is not much
chance of the capture OF the two thieves,
The police claim that this is the biggest
haul Of money made by bank-sneaks in
a generation,
Payment on the most valuable notes
of which the clerk was robbed has been
stopped. The Bank of Scotland hopes
to confne its loss to the "a $50 in smaller
notes, the numbers of which are un-
known

In Rejoicing Over the ReciprOc-

No Binding Action Can BE Taken by the

Adopted-BraXilian Merchants Dissatis.
fed With the Treaty--John Bun Will
Protest Against 1t.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.--A special cable
gram to The World from Bahia, Brazil
says:
Americans who have been led to be-
lieve that Mr.. Blaine's commercial treaty
with Brazil is settled fact will be in
terested to know that the treaty has not
yet been ratified, and that it is not likely
to be. No binding action can be taken
by the Brazilian government until the
constitution is adopted, and then it is
safe to predict the treaty will be re-
jected.
The mercantile community views the
proposed treaty with the greatest dissat-
isfaction. Brazilian exporters find that
by the terms of the treaty they are no
better off than they were before, 50 far
as trade with the United States is con
cerned and as they have dealt almost
entirely with English houses heretofore
they can see no reason why they should
not continue to do SO.
Resident English merchants and
representatives of London firms will do
their utmost to induce the British gov
ernment to come to their rescue, and
protests are being drawn up, to be for
warded to Lord Salisbury.
President Fonseca and his advisers
are too anxious to see trade relations be-
tween Brazil and the United States de-
veloped and fostered, but they will be
powerless against the hostility evinced
towards Mr.. Blaines treaty by the mer-
camille community.
The money market here is unsettled,
and will probably remain so until the
constitution shall be adopted.

German COlOnists i'm Southwest
Africa Threatened
BY Savage Chief With a Force
of Armed Followers.

German Emigrants Generally Prefer to
Than Unoivilized Africa--GIadstone's 8
Prophecy of Irish Home Rule Warmly
WelcOmed-Foreign.
LONDON, Feb. 1S.-Advices in Berlin
from South Africa state that the Ger
mans in southwest Africa are in some
danger from savage chief named
Witboi, who has gathered about 500
men, armed with breech-loaders and
threatens the German settlements The
breech-loaders were supplied to the
savages by English traders, fact which
excites some anger among the Germans
The German force in that region only
numbers fifty, and is in rather a dilapi-
dated condition. A feeling of disgust
is growing up in Berlin regarding
African adventurers, especially as no.
body shows any signs of emigrating in
that direction, the emigrants preferring
America
The Tipperary Debate.
The Liberals showed but an apathetic
interest in the Morley debate on Tippe-
rary Monday. They seemed unable to
forget that the heroes of the day were
now in the Parnellite ranks, or very close
to Parnell in sympathy
Mr.. Gladstone threw some life into the
discussion, and his prophecy of Irish
Home Rule was warmly welcomed. But
that was the only interesting episode.
There was no enthusiasm among the
Irish or English Liberal benches. The
majority in support of the government
was emphatic, for the whips had been
out days beforehand. The debate was
on Morley's motion to censure Balfour
for the Iipperary prosecutions and their
conduct.
The Wrath Against Bismark.
A Berlin dispatch says that the city is
ringing with Bismark's protest against
the policy, (which removed the corn
duties and gave us the Jesuits. The
emperor is said to be more keenly ilTi-
tated than by anything Bismark had
said previously; but there is no possible
ground i'll the remark for action against
the ex-chancellOr, as it was simply an
expression of opinion. The kaiser feels
all the more keenly as he has no inten-
tion OF admitting the Jesuits to the EN-
pire, that being the one point on which
he declines to yield to Rome.
Storms on the Greek Coast.
Violent storms are reported as prevail
ing on the coast of Greece. Off the
island Of Zea a steamer was wrecked and
nine lives lost. 1t is feared that many
other disasters have occurred. Similar

where the weather has been very severe
This is where the steamer Dominica was
