FOSTER SPEAKS.

men-He Explains.

New YORK, March 17.-About 10 o'clock
ODonavon Rosa arrived at the Fifth-ave.
hotel to see Secretary Foster. lie wanted the
secretary to e1plain what he meant by speak
ing OF 'AanneLmouthed" or 'clem-mouthed
Irshmen." Rosa failed to see Mr.. Foster. The
secretary was seen this afternoon and made the
following reference TO his trip, and more es.
pecially in regard TO the terms flannel
mouthed" or 'clam-mouthed Irishmen," al
legged to have been uttered in an interview. II
certainly made use of no such terms as are
imputed to me, or no word derogatory to the
Irish character Neither did | have IN inter-
view with any one for publication. The story,
l imagine, grew out of conversation which
had in my room with a number OF friends and
callers. The subject OF immigration, which is
one Of great interest to Eng!ishmen just now,
was being discussed.
In speaking Of the character of the immigra-
ton coming to our shores, / incidentally
touched upon the ease with which Irish chill
dren assimilated themselves from the charac-
teristics Of their parents when they arrived
here and became thoroughly Americanized.
Even among the commonest class of Irish i'm
migrants this noticeable. The same, | said,
could be said OF the German immigrants who
soon became imbued with American ideas.
This was in contrast to the Norwegans. Danish
aud the people from the south OF Europe, who
were slower in assimilation and who main
tanned the characteristics of the nationalities
for O longer period"

ON THE GALLONS
Schneider Pays the Penalty for His
Heinous Crimes.

VIENNA March 17.-Though the trial of the
Schneiders, Franz and Rosalie, for the murder
of servant girls. attracted to the court room
such crowds as have seldom been equaled in
numbers at any trial ever held here, the eXecu.
ton of the man this morning seemed TO excite
but little interest The gallows upon which
executions take place in other countries was
conspicuous by its absence. In its stead. a
broad white stake was firmly imbsdded in the
ground in an angle of the court. The stake
was surmouted by a large spike.
Schneider was attended by priest who
sought to administer the consolation OF re-
llgion to him, but Schneider's mind was dazed
with fear, and il is doubtless ii he heard or at
least understood what was being said. When
the condemned man had reached a point in
front of the stake the executioner, who wpre q
high silk hat, fine clothing and kid gloves
stepped up 90 him aud Gexterousy pinioned
his hands. The executioners assistants who
were two.horse slsughterers, then seized
Schneider and placed him directly in front of
the stake. The condemned was lifted
from the ground and fearful scene followed.
Schneider immediately kicked his legs in ev-
cry direction and tried frantically to escape
and shrieked: 'Oh, no; in Gods name, III
ray anything"
This scene did not last long. however, for
Seyfried rushed up a set of steps that stood be-
hind the stake and threw the free end of the
silken loop. which was attached to the stake
around Schneider's throat. in fact lassOing him
as he was held alOft by the assistants. No black
cap was used, the executioner making his
hands do duty in its stead AS the moose
passed around Schneider's neck the two horse
slaughterers dropped him. Seyfried pressed
his lett hand heavily over the Jaw and mouth
OF the victim while the right covered the fore
head and eyes. At the same time the assistants
grasped the hanging man By his arms and legs
and pulled downward with all their strength.
Held in this position Schneider WAS unable to
move and he strangled 10 death. Resale
Schneider, the wife and partner in the crimes
for which her husband paid the penalty with
his life, Is serving r sentence of life imprison-
ment. Cne Of the provisions of her sentence is
that for one day in every week she shall be
subjected to solitary confinement in dark cell.

ENOCH ARDEN STORY.
A Suit for Damages Calls Out Il Ro-
mantle Story.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, March 1S.-The Sc
quel of sn Enoch Arden story. with variations.
is just being written in the form of a senss-
tonal and most singular suit for damages.
Briefly told the romance in real life is as fol-
lows:
John Quinby. Union soldier was badly
wounded in the battle of Chickamauga, a few
miles from here, in 1868. and left in a tempo
rary hospital in log cabin on the field. Dur
ing his convalesence he became enamored of q
confederate war widow. one Mrs. Dooley. and
after his term of service expired he returned
and was married to her. Four years later her
first husband made his appearance. A COM
promise was effected and DOoiey, for SIS in
cash, surrendered his claim TO his wife and COW
he had left in the CO.'S and went his way alone.
Quinby accumulated considerable real estate
which the increase in values made valuable.
A couple of years since he made 20 his wife a
deed of his land in what is now Chickamauga
park. DoOley ia some way learned these facts,
took legal advice and was advised by an attor-
ney that as the woman in the case was his
(Dooley's) spouse in law the property in ques-
ton was clearly his and he has come back to
enter suit for the land. QuiDby has recovered
his mental balance and will hght to the end of
the law for the woman he bought and the land
he earned. The case is attracting much atten-
ton in legal circles, as it is without precedent
in the South.

FROM The POPE.
a Letter TO Mr.. Bryan on the Worlds
Fair-Greeting.

ROME, March 16-Following is the text
OF a letter written by the pope to MIR.
Thomas B. Bryan, the special U. 5. COM
missioner to Italy for the Chicago Colum-
bian exposition:
Greeting-While we see on all sides the
preparations that are eagerly being made for
The celebration OF the Columbian guadsO-
centenary feRsts in memory of man most
iilustrious and deserving OF Christianity aud
ali cultured humanity, we hear with great
pleasure that the United States has among
other nations entered this competition of
praise IN such manner Gs BELTS both the vast
ness and richness OF the country and the men,
DRY OF the man so great as he TO whom these
honors are being shown. Nothing certainly
could be more splendid than what is told US OF
the grand aud magnificent exposition which
the nation Will hold at Chicago. bringing to-
gether every kind of produce and work which
fruitful nature bears and the srtfu industry of
man creates. The success Of this effort will
surely be another proof of the great spirit and
active energy OF this people, who undertake
enormous and difficult tasks with such great
and happy daring. We rejoice. moreover. in
the nobility of the purpose, which il
equal Ia greatness to the undertake
ing ITSELF Ii is & testimony Of honor
and gratitude to that immortal man
OF whom we have spoken, who, DESTROYS of
hnding a road by which the light snd truth
and all the adornments OF civil culture might
be carried to the most distant parts OF the
world, could neither be deferred by dangers
nor worried by la6ors, until having in Ger.
tain manner renewed the bonds between TWO
parts OF the human race so long sc psratcd, he
bestowed upon both such great benefits that
the injustice must he said TO have few equals
or superiOrs. While, therefore, we bestow on
the citizens OF the great republic we'll merited
praise, we express the fervent hope that their
noble undertaking may, other nations uniting
M fharr -
prosperous issue that will prove OF great use in
stimulating the ingenuity of man in proportion

ing all the fine arts.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. March 1s-There was q
mysterious poisoning case last night which
may result fatally TO several people. The
victims were Mrs. r. MeIrose, her son David
Melrose and two daughters, Katie and Maths
Melrose. Two other members Of the family
were Affected but not seriously. The poison wss
contained IN the food SO the evening meal but
no one seems TO know in what particular dish.
All that is certain is that soon after the meal
the whole family were taken with severe pains.
The four mentioned had to be put TO bed.
Doctors we're summoned and for several hours
worked with the sufferers. From the symptoms
they came TO the conclusion that the poison
was arsenic.
The poisoning of the family proves to be
more serious than az first thought. Misses
Katie and Matte Melrose, aged fifteen aud
seventeen respectively, died this morning and
other members Of the family are reported to be-
in critical condition
Dr. O'NobundrO, the attending physician
says that arsenic had been placed in the coffee
served. but by whom IS not yet known.
Robert Melrose. the younger son, drank but,
little coffee, and it isa disputed question as "a
whether he drank any. He complained of be-
ing sick and drinking some salt and water voms
tied freely. David and his mother sre very i'll.
but may recover. Robert is also quite sick, N
Is thought from drinking o small quantity Of
the coffee today. The circumstances surroundt
ing the case seemed 10 point to the guilt Of
Robert. and he is now under arrest to await the
result OF the inquest lie had given the family
much trouble.

BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL,
1920 NEW GoRK-AVE.. Y. W.,
u .eryrN-~nON- n n Daroh (


The following will appear in the Post to-
morrow morning and is given for what it is
worth:
e "a few days ago the Post stated that Senator
Proctor was credited with an assertion that the
president intended to withdraw his name as q
candidate for denomination. The president, it
was said, felt that since Mr.. Blaine had with
drawn be could also retire from the field
without being subjected TO the
criticism that would naturally follow such
action with Blaine still Ia the field. Although
this statement was met by denial, it has trans
PRED that it was notaltogether without fOunda-
ton. More than one senator has become
possessed OF the information, and prominent
official of the senate, who has recently been
West, repeated the assertion in that section
con the authority of close friend of the presi-
dent now in the senate" who had made the re-
mark TO him in open conversation. 1t Is under
stood that the PRECEDENT, il he decides to with
draw, regards Secretary Rusk with favor. as q
most available candidate. There is every prob
ability OF some important developments IN
republican politics within the nextfew weeks"

body knows of Mr.. Voorhees, great ability. as
he has been before the public so long, but Sem
ator Turpie is of different temperament from
most meD. He is OF retiring disposition and
because of this is not often conspicuous, but
occasionally he makes a speech that Is unsur-
passed in logic, slyle aud dIction."
YOorhess' Good Work.
Senator VOORHEES, has had the management
Of the Woods case, and has been on his feet
more or less during the last few days, and this
afternoon he closed the case in another strong
speech of a helf-hour's length. Indianians
may well feel proud of their representatives. in
the senate. for they are generally regarded here
the strongest pair OF all-round statesmen
furnished by any state Of the union.
May Investigate.
There Is good deal Of talk tonight about an
investigation of Woods conduct being under
taken By the house of representatives. A
measure was introduced in the house TO i'm
