cratic claim that all cf the bad and
VICIOUS legislation from which the coun-
Try has suffered is Republican, legisiL-
uon- Mr. Reids statement clears up the
discussion. II there has been bad fnan-
cial legislation. Il was not our fault. 1t
was not the Democratic party that de-
m'net.zed silver. IL was not the Demo
cratic party that passed the Sherman
Silver bill II was not the Democratic
party that imposed the onerOus
tariff burdens upon the people. and those
people who are complaining of this bad
legislation should not blame the Demo-
cratic party.
The great economic question before the
people is how to raise the necessary
revenues OF the government by tariff
taxation without cree ting a dangerous
surplus and without creating monopolies.
Tbis great question has been very foFcibly
brought before the country by our dis
tinguished candidate for the Presidency

brave and manly message, ard l main
tain that it was the right message 10
make, whatever its effect on the sue
ceeding election. and it has accomplished
great good. The people understand the
question much better now than they did
then. The campaign Of education has
been going on.
HUMOROUS HITS.
The Senator then went on 10 discuss
the tariff at length In a plain, practical,
forcible manner. that commanded the
most profound attention from the vast
audience, who caught every word OF 1t.
II was interspersed with number Of
humorous hits, amid rounds Of laughter
and cheering, which were echoed by the
crowd outside Of the building.
Among the articles he enumerated as

Senator Hill discussed the Force bill
briefly. but forcibly. and made strong
appeal TO the Third party people, which
made a very marked impression. He
concluded with another generous tribute

patriotism as a statesman, which was

shelton's Murder Trial.

In the Hawley murder trial in Shell
ton yesterday, Chief Tomlinson testified
to having found in Hawley's house a
key to the back door of the tenement of
Mrs Munson, the murdered woman.
Robert SHE testified that he was in the
tenement of Mrs White, adjoining that
of Mrs Munson at the time when the
murder was committed, and heard a
mans voice. He said he had told the
coroner that the voice was Hawley's,
but he now was not sure of it.. Mrs
White testified that she heard the mans
voice, but did not recognize it as Haw-
ley's. SHE testified further that he had
taken provisions to the Munson woman
at Hawley's request, Hawley saying
know that he sent them; also, that when
Mrs Munson was ill she said to him,

Sensitive Foreign Noses.

A cabman charged with furious driv-
ing at Southwark has started the curious
theory that an Englishrnan is capable Of
bearing stronger scent than foreigner
In front of his cab was a van laden with
fish refuse. From this van proceeded an
odor-the cabman called it an "aroma"
which two foreigners inside his vehicle
found quite overpowering, The cabman
consequently forged ahead, knocked a
policeman down, and was duly sum-
moned. AS to the nature of the aroma"
there seemed to be no question.
The peccant cabman, with much deli
cacy of expression, merely described it
as 'sthick," and added, "'They were for
eigners and could not stand it." This
hypothesis of the greater anti-aromatic
power possessed by Englishmen, COM
pared with aliens, is one that should be
examined by some comparative sociolo-
gist. 1t did not prevent a fine of ten
shillings and costs. London Telegraph

Thinks 1t an Election Dodge.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-The DAILY Chron-
icle' says that the fact that both parties
in the United States are preparing for
Presidential election may account for
the animated words employed in the
Presidents message, no doubt after con-
sultation with Mr.. Blaine, who knows
the electioneering value of little belli-
cose buster, which involves no greater
sacrifice than paper and ink. Mr.. Har-
rison's declaration that the United States
does not covet territory ought not to be
taken as a pledge, but rather as an in
genious device to allay suspicious not
wholly groundless.

year-old child which sleeps in a crib and
was Mortified to find the house full of
smoke. Calling her husband she seized
up one of the children while he did
the same with the other and together
they fought their way to the rear yard.
Not a moment too soon, however, for no
sooner had the yard been reached than
the entire structure broke out into a
mass of flames. The building was en-
tirely destroyed, together with all the
household furniture. The loss will reach

New BRUNSWICK, N. j., Jan. GA
meeting of the stockholders of the
Jamesburg Bank, whose cashier, 7. Will
ton Hill, has been declared an embezzler
for a large amount by Bank Examin er
Stone, broke up in great disorder yester-
day upon receipt Of information, alleged
to be reliable, that Hill was not dead,
the coffin which was believed to contain
his body.
Some credence was placed in the story
when it became known that no one but
Hills immediate family were present at
the interment. A local physician had
been called in when Hill was stricken
with the grip, and no one was permitted
to enter the sick chamber. When Hills
death was announced but little time
elapsed before the body was laid in the
grave.
The rumor that Hill is still alive has
been intensified by the report that he has
been seen within the past few days on
Fourteenth street, New York, in company
with a woman whose name has been
closely connected with his defalcation.
AS Hills life was insured for $50, 900 a
few days before he was said to have died,
the company's agent in this city was
preparing to pay the claim. Now he has
announced that this will not be done
until satisfactory proof Of the death is
given. The result Of the allegation ts
that it has been decided to open the grave
and ascertain whether It contains Hills
body or a dummy. It is expected that
this will be done to-day. The local lodge
of the Royal Arcanum is doubly inter
ested in this as some alIege that bill
committed suicide. II the coffin really
holds Hills body they may demand that
an investigation be made to ascertain If
he killed himself.

The Crime of a Tennessee BelIe---A Re
markable Story,

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Jan. 26.-Miss Alice
Mitchell, a daughter of one of the oldest
and most highly respected citizens, yes.
terday afternoon attacked her former
friend and companion, Miss Freda Ward,
Aof Gold Dust, Tenn, on the streets OF
the city with razor, and murdered her
in cold blood.
Miss Mitchell and Miss Freda Ward
had been fast friends, and whenever the
latter visited Memphis she stopped with
the Mitchells. Last week Freda and
Josie Ward came to the city, but did not
go to the Mitchell house as usual. In
quiry on Miss Mitchell's part developed
the fact that Miss Josie Ward had for
hidden Freda to visit her on the ground
that her conduct was, as she termed it,
j. fast
Yesterday afternoon the Ward sisters
with a friend, Miss Cristine Parnell,
started afoot for the river to take the
steamboat for Gold Dust. They noticed
Miss Mitchell, with a friend, in buggy,
apparently following them. On reaching
the custom house Miss Mitchell left the
buggy in charge of Miss johnson, and
ran after the three girls, who were half a
block away. Reaching them. Miss
Mitchell ran at Freda Ward and threw
her to the ground, at the same time
slashing her across the cheek with q
razor.
She then cut the girls throat, severinG
the wind pipe and cutting into the jugu-
lar. Josie Ward at this point attempted
to interfere and Miss Mitchell slashed he1
across the neck with the razor, inflicting,
however, only a slight wound The
murderess then darted to where her
buggy was in waiting and drove rapidly
away.
Miss Mitchell was arrested and taken
to the county Jail, where she refused for
a long time to make any statement re-
garding her atrocious crime, but at
length, after a consultation with her
father and a lawyer, she made the fol-
lowing remarkable statement:
~ was in love with Freda 1 could
not live without her, Long ago we made
a compact that if we were ever separated
we would kill each other. When found
that Josie had forbidden Freda to have
anything more to do with me I saw
nothing else to do but to kill her. ]

was going to do"
The murderess and her victim were
each about 10 years old. In talking OF
Miss Mitchell the Ward girls did not
charge her with anything but fast con.
duct, and she had always borne a good
character.

FEELING IN WASHINGTON.
Secretary Tracy of Opinion that Chill Can
be Easily Whipped.

be Easily Whipped.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The message of
President Harrison and the report that
the CHILEAN Government agrees to with
draw the Malta note and the request for
Egan's withdrawal, and desires to leave
the affair of the Baltimore attack to
arbitration, are the absorbing topics of
conversation this morning. The message
has aroused more interest than any pub
lie document that has been sent to Con-
gress since the close of the Civil War.
Opinions vary as to the ability and
wisdom displayed by the President in
this important State paper, but those
who think it both well-timed and pa
triotic are in a large majority. What
the next step in the famous diplomatic
controversy will be it is impossible to say
with certainty.
Tie message will be considered by the
Foreign Affairs Committee of each
House, and until at least the preliminary
meeting is held nothing will be arranged
as to the policy to be pursued.
Secretary Tracy said last night:
''The Presidents message can only be
accepted in one way. Chilli has insulted
and maligned our government as it has
never been insulted and maligned before.
l believe the common sense of the Ameri-
can people and their love of country will
assert itself; that the President will be
upheld, and that Chilli will be forced to
apologize and make the reparation asked
for by the President, or take the conse-
quences. which means'--and here Gen.
Tracy arose from his seat and paced the
floor of his office-''that in so days we
will be able to whip the entire CHILEAN
navy. We will pounce on her from
quarters where she least expects it. 1t
will be naval fight from beginning to

anything from Chill in regard to the

Hero of Belgian Independence Dead.

BRUSSELS, Jan. 26.-Baron Peter Eman-
uel Felix Chazal, the hero of Belgian
independence, is dead at the age of "a.
His wife also died about the same time,
aged 80. He took part, in 1880, in the
war against Holland, and by his bravery
and ability rapidly rose in military rank,
becoming a general of the liberating
army. After the Acknowledgement of
Belgian independence he was Minister of
War, and held other important offices.
The death of his son, who was killed in
Mexico on the side of Macmillan, was a
great blow to him, and caused his retire
nent from public affairs.
