LIEUT.. HETHERINGTON'S EXCUSE.
His Justification for the Shooting Of Cove,
Robinson.

Bis Justification for the Shooting Of Cover
Robinson.
Letters have been received from Lieut..
Hetherington and other officers of the Marion
which confirm the published accounts of the
killing of Robinson at Yokohama and say that
Hetherington has ample proof that he was JUS
tilted in shooting Robinson. 1t is also alleged
that there is evidence that Robinson had ar
ranged an elopement with Mrs Hetherington.
In an interview at Dubuque last night ex-
Senator knight raised the point whether Lieut..
Hetherington can be lawfully tried in the con-
sular court in Japan; whether he can be tried
by other than court having a grand and a
petit jury. Mr.. Knight queries as whether by
our treaty with Japan judicial control and juris-
diction over American citizens in Japan is re-
served to this government the latter can pro-
coed against Hetherington in any different
manner than if the crime had been committed
within the territorial limits of the United States
As Congress has made no provision for the
trial of such case this one in the ordinary
way of our judicial procedure MIR. knight is
inclined to the opinion that the lieutenant can
not be tried at all and must go free. He says
this could be Immediately tested by habeas cor
pus proceedings in the Supreme Court of the
United States and believes that in such a pro-
ceedins Hetherington would be discharged.

DISTRICT DEMOCRATS.
Different Opinions as tn Delegates and Mem
bers of the National Committee.

Different Opinions Delegates and Mem
bers Of the National Committee.
Whatever interest is manifested in the Dis
trict democratic convention which will be held
on the oath instant, seems to lie conferred In the
selection OF the representative on the
national committee rather than on the
choice of delegates to the conven-
ton. Naturally the latter indicates
the former, but it seems probable. IL the pres
ent plans are carried out that the personnel Of
.he oeiegation TO Chicago will be based upon
tue action OF the convention On the question of
the national committee representative.
AN OUTSIDER FOR THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
1t is stated that when the district conven-
ton meets, before the Chicago delegates are
elected resolution will be offered instruct
ing the delegates to name some person outside
OF the delegation as member Of the national
committee. 1t Is also proposed to submit
resolution providing that no one who lis
not In sympathy with the candidate
named for President by the national
convention shall be appointed member of the
| national committee for this District Hereto
| fore the entire contest on such occasions has
been over the choice of eiegates to Chicago,
and the latter have selected enc of their own
number to represent the District on the ma
| tional committee.
TO DIVIDE UP THE HoNoRs.

divide up the honors, so that a man who goes
| to the convention as q delegate will not
| also enjoy the added honor of being q
| member of the national committee. On the
other hand it is claimed that who
ever is on the committee ought
to be in sympathy with the standard bearer of
| the democratic party in the coming contest
From this point of view, nc decision in regard
| to the member of the national committee can
| be reached until after the national con-
vention has made nomination. On
| the other side, however, it is
| said to be the desire to FIX il possible upon
where this honor is to fall before the delegates
| have been elected in the District convention.
| AS the delegates to the District convention will
! be called upon to decide these questions at an
| early stage the result will 80 doubt determine
| very largely the personnel Of the delegation
| that will go to Chicago.
CLEvELAND's FRIENDS.
A good deal has been said about the anti
Cleveland sentiment in this District and nc
doubt 1t is of very substantial character.
But at the same time Cleveland has friends here
| and they intend to appear in force at Chicago.
They do not rely upon going as delegates
| to the convention. but they will be in Chicago
| all the same and arrangements will soon be
| made for the accommodation in that city of the
| Cleveland contingent of the democratic party
Of the District.

The emperor has committed the sentence Of
Rosalie Schneider, who was convicted of help
ing her husband murder four servant girls in
the woods on the outskirts OF Vienna. 10 i'm
prisonment for life. Schneider will be hanged
probably on Tuesday.
The reason for the Communication. SAYS ths
Tdgbtdtte, is that tine emperor Is opposed 20
capital punishment especially for women.
When the last hanging Of a woman in the en-
pire took place, nearly thirty years ago, he said
that he would never again refuse his mercy 10
a condemned woman. The announcement Of
the Communication in the evening edition Of the
Irete Pyesse has caused some excitement 10
Vienna, rs never IN the history Of Austria's
criminal courts has the whole pubic been no
intensely interested in n murder trial as il WIS
in the trial of the Schneiiers. Schneider's
counsel also made an appeal for him. but the
emperor returned the application marked ''Nos
q palliating circumstance"
Schneider has broken down completely. He
does not sleep and frequently breaks into sobs-
An effort is being made 10 compel him to con-
fess the fifth and sixth murder of which evil
dence has been secured since his conviction
and II Ia expected that before his death ths
truth viii be got from him.
kosalie Schneider manifested no interest
when informed of her Communication. She has
become respondent and has spoken only in
moEosylabies since her conviction. IL -
thought by the prison physician who examined
her on Tuesday that she is losing her mind.
