In the Famous Compressed Air Bubble, the
Subject of Testimony at Meadville-The
Court Rules Out List of Hypothecated
Securities offered.
MEADvILLE, Sept. 2S.-In the Delamater
case to-day, several depositors testified to
the amount of their deposits, and witnesses
were produced to prove that G. W. Della
mater was in the bank doing business
shortly before the failure. E. A. Hemp
stead testified that he had conversation
with G. w. Delamater in 1890 in ref
erence to the defendants relations
with the Philadelphia Finance Com
mittee. The conversation related
directly to the defendants losses in con-
nection with Senator McFarlane-about
500, 900 in all-which seriously crippled
him in his gubernatorial campaign. He
(the defendan) also said he thought, on ac-
count of his connection with McFarlane,
he ought to 90 home and attend to his busi-
ness. lest reports should injure his business
affairs at home.
III. j. Humes, on cross-examination, tes-
titled that G. w. Delamater had said to him
that the stock of the Judson Compressed
Air Company had no value at that time, but
that il certain difficulties could be overcome
his investments there would pay all his
debts
Charles Fair offered in evidence judg-
ments against the defendants, and also
book given him by G. w. Delamater con-
tanning list of amounts due depositors to
the aggregate of S52S, 554 3d. A list of
hypothecated stocks was also offered. The
matter of hypothecated stocks was ruled
out, the Court claiming that it would SIM
ply tend to confuse the jury regarding the
assets and liabilities.
V. M. Delamater was called and declined
to answer who had instructed him to draw a
certain draft. The Court ruled that the
witness should answer, and the witness said
Henry M. Miller on November 90, 1890. At
this point District Attorney Best moved
nolle pros in the cases against V. M. Della
mater, which was granted. The draft in
question was now offered in evidence, but
the Court ruled it out because it was
the private property of the defendants and
could not constitutionally be offered against
them.
Ex-County Treasurer H. M. Miller was
sworn and stated that his balance in the
bank at the time of the failure was S58,-
5S7 so. Part was due the county and the
balance due the State. Witness had pur-
chased draft in October 1890, for 50,
and paid for it with draft for 81 800 and
two checks. The draft was never delivered.
The prosecution expect to complete their
evidence tomorrow.

ENGLISH VIEWS OF THE LETTER.

Clevelands Hesitancy on the Tariff Excites
Some Surprise Over There.
LONDON, Sept. 2S.-The Post considers
Mr.. Cleveland's reference to the contempla-
tion of fair distribution of tariff burdens
rather than the precipitation of free trade
as the most substantial part of his caucus
address SIT is clear" says the Post, shat
the American public is still good way
from that penitence which their European
teachers in economic science await with such
confidence" The Standard thinks that the
attempt to find middle course in the tariff
questions will seriously hamper Mr.. Cleve-
land. 'The hesitant obscurity of his
language" the Standard adds, 'Shows his
difficulty in expounding his own policy.
Mr.. Harrison has the advantage of a sweep
ing confidence that will appeal forcibly to
national prejudices and passions On the
currency question there is little to choose
between the two candidates"
The Times says: "Mr. Cleveland's mani
festo has less confident ring than Presi-
dent Harrison's on the tariff question. He
is, too, evidently afraid to assert his policy
with equal courage and clearness. His Ian
guage is not easily reconciled with the broad
principles laid down at Chicago. Doubtless
his contempt for the alarm of the protec-
tionists is fully justified, but if he is right
why should free trade be treated as bogy?
There is no uncertain sound. however, in his
utterances on the currency question"

CATHOLICS In POLITICS.

The Great German Convention Decides to
Boycott All Candidates Who Don't Take
Their View of the School Question-The
Cahensly Incident Settled.
NEWARK, N. j., Sept. 28.-"When Rome
has spoken the cause is ended" Thus
speaks Archbishop Corrigan before the
Young Mems Catholic Societies about Ca
henslyism, which he practically declares is
dead ISSUE He spoke in reference to the
reports that the views of Cahensly are held
by the congress, and that the German re-
union is a step in the direction of the sepa-
ration of the Catholics according to their
nationalitieA 1t had been said that the
Archbishop favored the plan fathered by
Cahensly, but his utterance leaves little
doubt as to his present views.
"We approve what st. Peter approved;
we recommend what he recommends; we
sondemn what he condemns, and we toler-
ate what he tolerates," were declarations in
the resolutions on the school question at
the closing meeting of the German Catholic
Convention tonight. Caledonia Park Hail

Curiosity About Egan's visit.
Considerable curiosity is felt at the State
Department to know what will be the re-
suit of the visit to his adopted country OF
Minister Egan, who has been one of the
most conspicuous figures not only in the
controversy between Chile and the United
States, but also between the late Balmace-
dan Government and the late insurgents
who are now at the head of Chilean affairs.
Months ago Mr.. Egan was granted
leave of absence, and was expected to take
advantage of il at once and return to TINS
country. Instead of that he voluntarily re-
mained in Chile because IS he averred his
presence was necessary to facilitate the set
Element ofth claims of United States sailors
or their heirs against the Chilean Govern
ment Now, however, it is announced
that Mr. Egan will arrive at New York
about October and that he will at once
come on to Washington.
As Consul McCreery was given leave OF
absence simultaneously with that Of Mr..
Egan, and as McCreerv was invited to re-
sign soon after his return, and when he had
fully explained the charges against HIM
that he had speeulated upon private infor-
nation given to him by this Government,
and as Minister Egsn has been similarly
accused, in addition to other charges against
him, those who have watched this matter
for long time are naturally curious
to see if anything will happen when the
Minister and his superiors come face to face.
Some who look at affairs almost wholly
from the political point of view think that
there will be no change, or at least not be-
fore the elections, as it might not be polite
to excite any discussion among Mr.. Egsn's
friends prior to the decision of the national
contest. LIGHTNER-

WHITE CAP TERRORS.

They Notify a Family to Leave or Suffer
Consequences Citizens Preparing to
Lynch All Who Belong to the Organiza-
LONESOME of Their Deeds.
JOHNSON, TENN, Sept. 2S.-[SpeciaL J.
A special to the Comet from Parrettsville,
Cooke county, says White Caps are terror
izing the eastern portion of the country.
They have only recently moved their base
of operations from Sewer county, where
they have been carrying on their unlawful
and brutal crimes for many monthA There
they whipped men and women unmerci-
fully, and In one case tarred and festhered
man who came near dying from the scare
they gave him.
They have just commenced operations in
Cooke county, where they have notified
Simson Einshouse and family to leave the
county within ten days or they would deal
severely with him. A half dozen other
families were notified to leave the county.
The house of an old negro man with only
his wife was visited and torn down and
riddled with bullets. He was threatened
with the same treatment if he did not leave
the county. The house of an old blind man
with his wife AMI only child was visited
and the inmates scared to death by having
the house stoned and filed with shot.
The White Caps then pursued the same
course of conduct at many other houses
throughout the district, and the last but
not the meanest act was by main force Of
strength to enter the house of an old lady
who lived by herself and break down the
beds, tear up and destroy the bed clothing
and pour out her canned fruit and jelly ali
over everything, completely destroying it.
The good citizens say that the right shall
reign and that in suppressing this lawless-
ness. although they do not favor it, they
intend to lynch every one of this band Of
White Caps as soon as caught, which means
the sure loss of much lite.

Eventually the Commissioner thinks that

He disapproves of the detail of army
officers to take charge of the Indian
agencies. He says that in the education of
the Indians and the allotment of lands to
them considerable progress has been made
during the year. Special mention is made
of the various measures taken during the
year to make the Indians self-supportinp.
and a gradual reduction of the issue of ra-
