government has replied to Minister

the recent attack upon American sailors.

CHILDREN MALTREATED.


DUBLIN, Oct 29.-Some startling tes
timony was given yesterday at the trial
of the Rev. Samuel Cotton, a rector a.
Carnoch, County Kildare, who wa
charged with criminal neglect and i'll.
nogh Orphanage.
The Rev. Samuel Cotton, who has con,
Quoted the affairs of the orphanage fol
many years, has made many appeals to
the public for financial aid and has re-.
ceived large sums of money by subscrip-
ton for the maintenance of the orphan.
age. But owing to numerous complaints
which have been made against that in.
stitution, the Society for the Protection
of Children recently made an investiHa.
tion into the manner in which the or
phanage was conducted and thereby .
horrible state of affairs was revealed.
The agents of the society found that
the children were in an emaciated,
filthy and ragged condition, and that
they were covered with parasites
The toes of one of the children, it was
testified to, had rotted off. Another, a
girl, had been chained by the legs to q
log. The rooms of the orphanage were
also found to be in the filthiest condi>
ton.
In the kitchen was found baby, six
weeks Ola, covered WIN dirty rags and
dying of cold and hamilton. Other chill
dren we're found in the same apartment
crouched around a small fire, almost
frozen and half starved. All of them
were weak and sickly and their growth
had been stunted by the treatment re-
ceived udner the Rev. Mr.. Colt on's man
agement.
The sanitary condition of the ;yhole es-
Establishment was found to be perfectly
horrible. Some of the beds use by the
unfortunate children were ely old
boxes and packing cases filled W. i stable
hay.
1t was also shown that all the child
rem were kept in perpetual state Of
terror by the Rev. Mr.. Cotton. and that
it would be difficult even to imagine 6
more deplorable state of things.
The Rev. Mr.. Cotton was committed
for trial, bail, however, being allowed in
order to enable him to attend the synod
of the diocese, of which body he is 6
member.

THAT CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT.
Senator Quay Says He Had No Politi

Senator Quay Says He Had No Politi-
cal Dealings With Bardsley.
PTTsBURG, Oct. Ex-senator Quay ar
rived in Pittsburg from Beaver last
evening and repaired to his hotel. About
the same time ex-Collector David Mar
tin arrived from Philadelphia and met
the Senator at the hotel. Mr.. Martin
came to consult the Senator regarding
the certificate of deposit found among
the Keystone Bank papers.
A reporter called at the hotel and
talked with both Senator Quay and Mr..
Martin on the subject of the certificate.
Mr. Martin, when asked to explain
the transaction, said:
Senator Quay gave his note for SO, 900
to Mr.. Charles Porter and myself in
Philadelphia to raise money on it where
ever we could. We first tried two or
three gentlemen without success. We
then took tbs note to Bardsley and asked
him if he could not get it discounted for
the amount, which was cashed at the
Third National Bank of Philadelphia,
less the discounting of the note, $123. A
certificate of deposit was sent to Senator
quay at Beaver, who sent on check for
$9, OOO Senator QAay had no dealin gs
whatever with Bardsley in the matter.
Mr.. Porter and myself transacted the
entire business. The note was after
wards paid and 1 took it to Senator
Quay in Washington. "
Senator Quay said: IT have never
been acquainted with Bardsley and
would scarcely know him if l saw hi
1 was not even acquainted with him po-
litically, nor ever had any political deal
ings with him. He was not party
man, for whenever he ran for treasurer
it was as a citizens candidate. "
Senator Quay had with him the check
that he sent to Philadelphia in return
for the certificate of deposit This check
has no special significance except, as the
Senator said, it is confirmatory of the
statement of the whole transaction.

THE SAW LOG STORY
Pastor JUNIOR Believes Sinbad
Sans Adventures.
THE MARINERS WHITEwAsHED.
Editor Garter, Who Game from Florida to
Disprove the Story, Discredited.

The Parsons Report OF His Investigation
Complete Exoneration of Sam TIL orn-
ton and Eva Jewell-sam May Continue
rs Deacon of the Mount Olivet Church
without Reproach-Trfumphal vindi-
cation OF the Much Maligned Couple.
BROOKLYN, Oct. 29.-Pastor JUNIOR of
the Mount Olivet Church has submitted
his report on the adventures of Samuel
Thornton and his sister-in-law, Eva
Jewell The report is a whitewash
throughout, and plainly shows that the
pastor is . firm believer in the wonder
full feat of the ocean 1oaters.
He begins by reciting the circum-
stances of their temporary disappear
ance, which took place Aug. 81. He
takes Elder Thornton's word for it that
they went bathing in the surf, that
a wave caught Miss Jewell and carried
her into deep water. She could not
swim and Samuel had hard work in
kee ping her from drowning.
They sighted log, around which Eva
wrapped her arms, and both were car
ried out to sea and remained floating on
the log for two hours, when they sighted
a sailing ship bound for Yucatan.
They were taken on board and the
arrayed themselves and cast off their
bathing suits, and after week they
were landed on the shores of Florida
at point which they were informed was
twenty miles from Jacksonville After
wards they were driven to that city in q
wagon, and sent a telegram to Elder
Thornton's brother the following Sun
day.
Next comes Miss Jewelps statement,
ial -. T.
detail.
That of Mr.. and Mrs. Burst follows.
1t declares they saw man and woman
float out to sea the eventful day while
they were in bathing at Coney Island,
and that they since recognized Samuel
and Eva as the pair.
Pastor JUNIOR, in reciting the continual
ton Of his Investigations, states that he
went to Florida, and from the descrip-
had traversed from the coast inland, fol-
lowed it closely, and found that it agreed
entirely with his own observations.
The pastor next describes his call
upon Editor Carter, who declared he saw
the couple in the car and could not be
mistaken about them. He says that the
conductor P. B. Barr, had evidently tried
to help out his friend Carter in his state
ments, and adds that Superintendent
ACACA1roSoh WOE AoD d ro11doAo Andn. ne
claims to have received kilograms from
two other witnesses-one a man who
saw a boat put out from the unknown
ship to the shore, and another q person
who saw a white man and woman drive
over the road from the coast to Jackson
| vile.
The report is complete vindication OF
Sam and Eva, so far as the Mt. Olivet
| Church is concerned. And still there
are scoffers at the wonderful saw-log
story.

CHAPLEAU's RESIGNATION.
Not Yet Accepted Because of Difficult
in Finding q SUCCESSOR.

Not Yet Accepted Because OF Difficulty
in Finding a Successor.
MONTREAL, Oct 29.-The resignation
of Secretary of State Chapleau from the
Dominion Cabinet has not yet been &C
copied by Premier Abbott, owing to the
difficulty the latter experiences in select
ing a successor. Chapleauis now in the
city, but will not say anything until his
resignation is either accepted or re-
jected.
The portfolio has been offered to ex-
Speaker Ouimet, a personal friend of
Chapleau, but he refused it. D. Girou-
ard, member for Hochelaga, also refused
the honor, and it looks as though Pre-
mier Abbott would have to submit to
Chapleau's demands, give him the
Ministry of Railways, or allow him to
go, in which event he would take with
him a following of twelve or fifteen
members, sufficient to place Abbott in
minority.
The situation is becoming grave, and
many well-informed politicians assert
that general elections will be held in

THE NEW GILLIAN MINISTER.
Senior Mont Accorded the Same Recog-
milton nr. Egnn.

Senior Montt Accorded the Same RecoR-
milton as BIr. Egan.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 80. Senior Montt
who not known except in a techni cal
diplomatic way as the Minister to the
United States from the provisional gov
eminent of Chilli, has been accorded by
the State Department of this government
precisely the same recognition as has
been given to the United States Minister
Egan by the provisional government in
Chilli.
This recognition was accorded yester-
day for the first time.
Senior Montt was received by Mr..
Blaine in person, after having been kept
waiting for fully an hour. Mr.. Julio
Foster, whose diplomatic standing ap-
pears to admit of no exact de2nition,
accompanied Senior Montt, but was not
admitted with him and Senior Asta-Bur-
noga to the conference with Secretary
Blaine. The conference occupied less
than half an hour. At its conclus ion
Senior Montt declined to state what had
been said by either himself or Secretary
Blaine, and Mr.. Blaine was equally reti-
cent.
1t is understood, however that Senior
Montt has been informally recognized as
the representative of the New Govern
ment in Chilli, but that he has not been
admitted to the standing of an Envoy
Plenipotentiary. That cannot be done
until his credentials have arrived by
mail Only telegraphic notice of his ap-
pointment as Minister from Chill to this
country has been received as yet in
Washington. Moreover, 1t will be neces-
sary after the arrival OF his credent iRls
for Senior Montt to be received by the
President before he can acquire the
standing of Minister.

Thought to Have Been Murdered.

UN1oNTowN, Pa, Oct. 29.-James Hess
has mysteriously disappeared from his
home at the Redstone Coke Works,
south of this place. Some employees of
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
saw five Italians pursuing the boy Tues
day night with guns in their hands.
They also saw one of the Italians shoot
at the boy, but they did not determine
whether the shot took effect, as they
could not see the boy at the moment the
shot was fired. 1t is the general belief
that the Italians murdered the boy and
threw the body into the coke ovens to
conceal their crime. The matter Is be-
ing investigated

THE DETROIT LAUNCHED.
Secretary Tracy Expected, but Unable
BE Present.


BE Present.
BALTIMORE, Oct. 29.-Tho new cruiser
Detroit was launched at $40 o'clock yes
terdaY afternoon
The big ship slid into the ater grace
fully and without hitch. The Detroit
yesterday morning presented a beauti-
full appearance lying on the ways be-
decked with bunting; the American col
ors were unfurled to the breeze. A rope
was stretched 20 feet above deck from
bow to stern, and the colors making up
the international code of signals were
floating from it, reaching the entire
length of the boat.
The sides of the stand were hid from
view by the flags of various nations
gracefully dropped. Until the last
Tracy of the Navy and other heads of
the departments would arrive from
Washington to witness the launch. They
did not, however, put in an appearance.
There was a great crowd present who
cheered the handsome vessel as she left
the ways.
The Detroit is one of three cruisers of
the 2, 900 ton class. One is now build
ing at Baltimore and the other at
Boston. They are somewhat larger than
the ships of the Yorktown class aud
the engines shall be capable of driving
the Detroit at the rate of eighteen knots
an hour.
Her length is 217 feet, beam 81 feet
and draught ID 1-2 feet She is
schooner rugged and carries 6, 289 feet of
canvas. Her coal bunkers will hold 435
tons of coal, which will enable her to
steam 10, 900 miles at 10 knots an hour.
A full supply of coal it is said, will
strengthen her against projectiles.
Her armament includes eight 4-inch
and two six-inch rapid firing guns. The
larger guns are mounted on central
pivot carriages, one forward and one
aft. The smaller ones are in sponsings,
of which there are four on each side.
There is a secondary battery, composed
of ten rapid-f1ring 6 and 3-pounders. Six
torpedo ports have been fitted.
She is moved by two triple-expansion
engines of the vertical, inverted cylin-
der, directing type, making 1876 revolu-
tions minute.
Great attention has been paid to the
ventilation and drainage of this ship,
and to the comfort of the officers and
men. The quarters are lighted by cleo
tricity. A refrigerating room forward

lently appropriated to his own use $13,-
