Stead Has Threatened a onfession Gle ,r-
ing the Imprisoned Woman
LONDON, Oct. II, 1892 In the next issue
OF the ReUdea0 of ReUieDs Mr.. Stead, It's
editor, will have an article
headed Ought Mrs Maybrick to be
Tortured to DEATH" in which he vigor-
ously and .at great length reopens the
whole case of the unfortunate American
woman who is now undergoing a sen.
Gence OF life imprisonment in Woking
Prison for the alleged poisoning of her
husband. who was a we'll known Liver
pool merchant.
Mr.. Stead says that both he and Sir
Charles Russell. the Attorney General,
have received from South Africa copies
OF the death-bed confession of Harry Will
son, who declared that he, with a woman,
whose name is not given, placed arsenic
IN the medicine that was administered to
Mr Maybrick during his last illness.
Mr.. Stead Investigated into this matter
and declares that he attaches weight to
the confession; but he adds that, even If
1t were valueless. it will be of service in
directing attention TO the travesEv of JUS
tlce which has exposed Great Britain to
serious remonstrances from the United
states, and which is not unlikely to be-
come subject of diplomatic remon-
STRANGE.
Mr.. Stead makes strong appeal for the
release of Mrs. Maybr before Christ
mas. Her condition is such, he said, that
she will speedily die if she is not released,
Ii Herbert Asuuith, the Home Secretary.
Will NOT hear the case then Lord Rose-
berry, the Foreign Minister, and Mr.. Glad
stone must.

in the afternoon transmitted it to the sem
ate for its action.
Provisions of the New Modus.
The modus is in the form of supplement-
al convention to the treaty of arbitration
recently negotiated and ratified. The mo-
dus vivendi states that both governments
will prohibit during the eealing season
the killing of seal in that part of the Beh-
ring sea lying eastward of the line of do
marcation described in article No 1
OF the treaty of 1857 between the United
States and Russia, and each government
will enjoin it's citizens and vessels to an
observance OF this agreement. The United
States, 1t is understood, is allowed to kill
for the subsistence of the natives on the
Islands OF st. Paul and st. George 500
seals, the same restriction as was made
last year, and the United States binds
itself to observe this prohibition.
Clause Providing for Dam ages.
The vessels of either the United States
OF Great Britain, or citizens of either
country, offending against this agreement
may be seized by either of the high con-
tracing parties, but as soon as practicable
of the nation to which they belong, who
shall have jurisdiction to try the offend
ers and impose penalties. In general it
may be said that the document is re-
newal of the agreement of 1891 with the
addition Of clause providing for the set
tlement of damages sustained by the
Canadian sealers through the Interrupt
ton of their business in case the arbitra-
tion goes against the United States
The Canadian Losing No Time.
Under this clause, owners of Canadian
sealing vessels have already begun to file
their claims with a commission appointed
to receive and present them. But General
Foster, the agent of the United States,
who is preparing the case for the govern
ment, and Hon. E. J. Phelps, counsel, are
leaving no point uncovered, and will be
fully prepared TO meet the claims on this
score in the event that they shall be
pressed for payment.

He Asks That Young's Request BE Grant
ed-No Action Taken.
When the executive session of the SEN
ate had die cussed the new modus vivendi
to its satisfaction for one day, and referred
it to the appropriate committee, the vice
president had another letter to call atten-
tion to. This was letter from Henry
Watterson in which, after referring to
Young's letter, he says: II venture to
join my entreaty to his, and with him ap-
peal to you, and through you to the sem
ate, for an act Of justice not only to cit
izen, but to an entire body of citizens,
whose character and honor a recent act of
the senate in a manner questions and as
sails. To the force of the argument made
by Mr. Young let me add the suggestion
that secrets shared by eighty eight per-
sons cannot in the nature Of the case be
wholly safe, and that the responsibility for
their disclosure should be conclusively as
certained and clearly fixed before condem
nation can be justly visited upon any in
dividual.
Knows a Thing or Two Himself.
During the second session of the Forty
fourth congress, served as chairman of a
caucus committee appointed to investigate
transactions of this kind. Then, as now,
SUSPICION lay upon CERTAIN SentIelIleu con-
nected with the newspapers service. The
result Of our inquiries showed that no one
person was to blame; but that little by little,
a word here and hint there, enough had
been gathered from those within by those
without to make tolerabiy fair report.
have known Mr. Young from his boyhood
and can fully attest his integrity and dis
cretion, but private sentiments aside, there
is principle of justice here involved, and
the press and the public have a claim
upon the ear of the senate, which can be
best reached through you, not merely its
chief organ and officer, but the one direct
representative in the senate of all the peo-
pie of the United States.
Couldn't Agree on n Hearing.
II address you both as q citizen and as a
journalist, confident of receiving at your
hands that ever unfailing courtesy and ex-
alted sense of duty which have marked
your personal and official career"
Friends of Mr.. Young took occasion to
make the letter basis for a renewal of
their request that Mr.. Young be given a
hearing, but there was no agreement on
the subject, and the letter was allowed to
lie on the table.

WASHINGTON, April 19.-James R. Young,
who was lately removed from his position
as executive clerk of the senate on the
charge of betraying the proceedings of Sc
cret sessions, refuses to be made the scape-
goat for the sins of leaky senators. He has
demanded an investigation, and challenges
any senator to avow responsibility for
the charges against him. He denies that he
ever in any manner betrayed any execu-
tive proceedings of the senate. He also
cites his letter to Senator Cameron, in
which he refuses to resign and asks for an
investigation by the senate of what ne un-
derstands he is charged with. The letter
was laid before the senate yesterday by the
vice president, and it lies on the table

The people of New York are showing
their appreciation Of the charges brought
against Senator Hill by the mugwnmp
contingent. They are leaving no room TO
doubt their estimation of these charges
bv their action at the polls. They are

the delegates to the State convention ia

smiling gentleman. In the language OF
Senator Hill himself in speaking oftle
,xickers and mugwumps 'Thev have the
brass bands;l get the delegates, and the
getting Of the delegates means that the
mass Of the people in New York are loyal
to Hill, and regard all the talk about his be-
ing .corruptionist and trickster' as mere
Inventions of envious minds, which are un-
worthy Of belief. There conid be no bet
