Trial in New Orleans.

Parkerson Gays He Can Get Fair
Trial in New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, La, May 2S.-When the
McCrystal and O'Malley bribery cases we're
called to-day their attorney submitted a
motion for a change Of venue. The state in
troduced number of witnesses. including
the leaders of the committee of
safety, Messrs. Parkerson. Denegre and
Hanston. They all testified that
they believed the accused could obtain a
fair trial here. In concluding his testimony
Mr.. ,Parkerson said: 81 tfsfnk O'Malley
can get fair trial. The people of New
Orleans were the most long suffering and
patient Mr.. Parkerson had lived among.
GOOD EVIDENCE.
The fact that O'Malley was walking
around the streets Of the city and had
thrown defiance in the face OF the communi-
ty was the best evidence that the accused
could obtain fair trial. There
was in this community an immense
prejudice against jury bribers and
perjurers, and as O'Malley was generally
regarded as one of these there was naturally
a prejudice against him. Notwithstanding
this, it required twelve men to try the case
and twelve men could be secured in this
community to give O'Malleysa fair trial.
PARKERsoN's THREAT.
Mr.. Parkerson admitted having said on
March IA: Leave O'Malley to our com
mittee and we will attend to him. Before
all the testimony had been heard, Mr..
Henriques of the counsel for the defense
abandoned the motion for change of venue
and asked to have the case fixed for trial
June 10, as he desired to be absent from
the city until that date, but the
states attorney objecting Mr.. Henridues
then gave notice of the withdrawal of the
plea of not guilty by his clients. and stated
that he would enter demurrer similar to
that sustained by the court In the case
against Granger, in which the information
was quashed on the ground that the allega-
tions set forth were not sufficiently specific
The McCrystal and O'Malley cases go
over until tomorrow, when the demurrer
will be passed upon

The Ex-senator Not Worried by the
Third Party Movem ent.
WASHINGTON, May %. - Ex-senator
Hampton, who has just passed through
Washington on his way to Canada, where
he is going for salmon fishing, says he is
not disturbed about the third party move
ment. He says it will not amount TO much
in the south when the light Of intelligent
discussion is turned upon it. A party
founded on one idea, and that false one,
he does not think can survive long. The
sub-treasury plan, he says, is not only i'm
practical and unwise, but is unconstitu-
tional. All that is necessary to destroy
it is to discuss it and expose
its absurdity and unconsttutionality. The
best lawyers in the Senate, he says, agree
that it is not constitutional Gen. Hamp-
ton says that ex-President Cleveland still
holds the hearts of the people of the south,
although they have not all liked his utter
ances on the silver question. 1t is possible
that his silver letter may injure him
in the convention, but tine senator
thinks he will be the democratic
nominee. He says he does not believe that
President Harrison will be re-nominated by
the republicans. and adds that the southern
trip in his opinion, has not benefited him.
The senator regards Secretary Blaine as a
strong possibility.

GLADSTONE AND THE JEWS.
he Writes That His influence Would
Do No Good.


LONDON. May 2S.-In response to a letter
from Mr.. Montague, member Of parliament,
asking him TO join in claiming for Russian
Jews the rights accorded to Mohammedan
subjects of the czar, Mr.. Gladstone writes:
"lt would be easy 10 launch denunciatory
letter that would act like dram and pro-
duce momentary warmth. But such
utterances not founded on careful
do harm by strengthening the ultra,
party, 10 whom and not to the car these
strange, revolving proceedings are due. At
one time l had influence with the Russian
government, but when premier In 1885 /
had ample proof that my influence was gone
Now my personal action would have no
weight. The pressure of opinion of the
civilized world based upon ascertained facts
is the best mode Of proceeding.
JEWISH ORGANIZATION.
"The widely effective organization OF the
Jews ought to enable the preparation OF a
complete statement, showing the exceptional
laws bearing upon the Jews In Russia and
the total absence of reason for such laws,
and also an adequate report ON the recent
prosecutions. Such u statement, seriously
executed, would bring powerful artillery
to play upon the citadel and wrong
no state or empire. The greatest nation on
plain OF such a mode Of Interference, offer
ing the inculpated government the fullest
means Of defense"
In concluding Mr.. Gladstone expresses the
hope that the Sultan of Turkey will support
the scheme for the settlement of the Jews in
Palestine.
HELPING THE FUaITIvEs.
BERLIN, May 2S.-The Hebrew relief
committee here has secured long railway
tunnel at Charlottenburg In which to shell

embarkment. Boxes Of clothing and neces-
saries, enormous boilers Of tea and coffee and
supplies Of bread and brandy are in readiness
to relieve the misery Of the crowds Of fugi-
tives that daily pour out OF the railway
trains. Many heartrending scenes arc de-
scribed, and tales are told of extreme suf-
fering. Many Of the fugitives had TO leave
on days notice, and were compelled to
abandon everything but what they stood

able to walk, are seen staggering under
sacks containing all their present worldly

CHARLESTON'S POLITICS.
SUPERVISOR CANTWELL KICKED
OUT OF oFFIoE.

He Declines to Recognize the Govern.
or's Right to Remove Him and VIII
Open the Registration Books at the
Appointed Time-The Situation Very
Complicated.
CHARLESTON, s. c., May 2S.-The news
Of the removal of Supervisor of Registra-
tion Cantwell by Gov. Tillman came here
like clap Of thunder from cloudless sky,
and to-day the reformers are chanting
peans of victory. All is not serene in the
ranks Of the municipal democracy.
The reform clubs held meetings to-
night. and passed resolutions des
manding that the city democratio
executive committee call a convention on
June IL for the purpose of reorganizing the
party. II is not probable that the demands
viii be granted, as the committee claim the
right TO fix the date for any convention ID
may call. The tactics Of the reformers.
who present a bold front, are evidently
directed to capturing tho party machinerys
and the removal Of Supervisor Cantwell
they claim az an indication that Gov. Till
man Is with them.
WANT THE PRIMARY PLAN.
They next propose to abolish the conven-
tion plan and adopt the primary plan OF
nominations. The ringsters, or regular
democracy, seem TO be asleep, and the re-
formers appear to have a walkover although
it is doubtful If they can poll an actual
majority Of the votes In the parity.
Present indications point very clearly
to split. It had been hoped that
a compromise had been effected when the,
reform clubs were lot in, but 1t looks now
as il they are going to run things entirely
their own way. The latest rumor is thak
q. w. Dingley is to be the reform oandi-
date for mayor.
CANTwELL DECLINES TO BE REMOVED.
The situation tonight Is getting more and
more complicated. Supervisor Cantweu
declines TO be deoapitated He does not
recognize the right Of the governor TO res
move him, and will on Monday open his
office as required by law for the registration
of voters. The federal supervisors are
already appointed and will recognize him
by order Of the United States court.
The books are now in the hands
Of the three commissioners appointed
TO revise the list. Under the act they wilE
have TO return them to Supervisor Cantwell
on Saturday. In case they refuse TO do SO
Supervisor Cantwell will open new books
aud bring suit against the commissioners to
recover the old ones. 10 is understood that
the democratic executive committee of
Charleston is in consultation with State
Chairman IrhY.

GorHAM's LUMBER LOCKOUT.

NEW YORK. May 2s.-The report that
some Of the lumber dealers would open their
yards to-days, and that they had seeded
from their original agreement. was en-
phatically denied this morning at the head
quarters Of the Lumber Dealers
Association. 1t is shown by
statistics that the consumption
of lumber in the building trade was re-
duced the first week Of the strike about 80
per cent. and the second week over 95 per
cent. The estimated loss In wages by the
workmen thrown out. of employment dur
ing the first week Of the strike amounted
to about S250,000 and during the second
week to about $4,000
10000 WILL BE MADE IDLE.
Should the strike continue until next
week it is said fully 10000 men Will be
thrown out of work by the stoppage of
building operations. The tie~up is also
being severely felt in Albany, Buffalo and
Tonawands, where a large number OF canal
men are lying idle. One of the dealers said
to-day that should the present condition Of
affairs continue much longer 1t would be
pretty severe on some of the dealers, IL it
did not force them out Of the business
altogether.
