IIBUr. HETHERINGToN JUSTIFIED.
Testimony Given by Commander Bartlett
OF the Marion.

VANcoUvER, b. c.. April N.-By mail per
steamship Empress. of Japan, come details OF
the defense submitted in the trial OF Lieu
tenant Hetherington before the United States
consular court in Yokohama, but the case
had not been concluded at the date OF the
steamers sailing.
Commander Bartlett gave the following ec-
count of a conversation with Robinson:
II asked Robinson TO explain MS attentions
to and persecution of married woman and
why he followed her when he knew that MIR.
Hetherington was away from his wife.
Robinson replied But she. wrote me
letter that morning asking me to come and
see her She is always setting her cap at mo;
every day she persecutes me. She has fol-
lowed me trying to get me to pay her atten-
ton
II lost my temper" continued Bartlett. II
called him coward 10 try u fix this
blame upon the woman. 1t was very, trying
and | continued: You - scoundrel and
villain, if had been in Hetherington's place
/ would have put bullet through you at
sight / do not usually talk in that way.
None of my officers ever heard me swear
He turned to me and said: / be-
lieve Lieutenant Hetherington is justified In
his conduct | deserve shooting | deserve
ANYTHING. have been expecting Lieutenant
HeatheringtOn to shoot me- l said; Will not
allow any shooting here or any horsewhlp-
ping if you behave yourself, but II you mis-
behaye AGAIN then | shall be present and see
Won horsevhipped. | said that it was my be-
lief now that instead of the woman setting
her cap at him he had deliberately laid siege
10 her from the first day that she landed"
Commander Bartlett's evidence further
showed that Robinson had expected Hether-
inoton. accompanied by Bartlett. was going
To horsewhp him. and his friends assembled
TO protect him. They afterward persuaded him
TO 90 to Kobe. but he returned. Though
Robinson had promised never again to
meet Mrs. Hetherington. on New Years
day. while driving past the Grand
Hotel he looked up at window
in which Mrs. IIetherington was and
smiled. lie kept smiling till his carriage got
out of sight Lieutenant Hetherington was IN
a passion over this and was going to horse
whip Robinson that evening. but his friends
persuaded him not to. Robinson was shown
TO have proposed scheme OF flight to Den
yer. and 10 have sent the note 70 Mrs ltetn-
erington's room by friend. lie told the
bearer that he had asked Mrs. HetneringtOn
not 10 send any moro letters to him.
The evidence for the defense showed many
acts on the part of Robinson tending TO CON-
promise Mrs Hetherngton In spite OF his
nromises 10 pay her no more attentions; he
had spoken sneeringly Of her 10 his friends.
and said she was forcing her atteDtlons on
him. He also showed her letters 20 bis
friends. Il was also shown that during tn.s
time Robinson continued sending many let
tiers to Mrs HetheringtOn. which she refused
to accept from the messenger.

Convention, and formerly collector OF inter
nal revenue for this State and State chaiI-
man of the Republican party. sends the 1ol-
lowing interesting card 10 the State:
am surprised TO see in your account this
morning of the proceedings resolution was
passed lnstructing the delegates elected 10
vote for the nomination of President Har-
rison. Though present, never heard OF such
a resolution being offered. The press ac-
counts show that it was presented on the
evening of adjournment after many delegates
had left and others were engaged IN coll
graduating the successful candidates. The
sense of the convention was unmistakaoly
opposed to any instruction. l would nos
have accepted an election bound by that KIND
of an obligation.
therefore desire to expose and repudiate
the contemplate trick by which this scheme
was smuggled through the convention. and
TO declare that hold the delegates to be I'M
trammeed and shall myself 80 act.
In SAYING this / wish to dlsclalm opposition
10 the nomination of President Harrison and
to express my hearty Endorsement OF the gen
eral policy Of his administration.

Paris Police Threaten to Strike Unless Their
Pay is Increased.


Pay is Increased.
PARIS, April 2l.-The outlook for May day
took on new aspect to-day which gives
promise Of affording the anarchists and other
lawless che 'acters an opportunity to make
trouble. The police threaten TO strike. The
Dix Neuveme Steele TO-DAY publishes pro-
clamation signed by number Of policemen,
in which they detail Mt length their griey-
ances and threaten 10 strike on the eve OF
Nav day unless their wages are increased.
The Anarchists are IN high glee at this de-
velopment and some Of the more enthusiastic
of them claim that 1t would take little argu-
ment 70 induce many Of the policemen TO Join
their ranks.
1t is hardly believed that any trouble will
occur with the police. On the contrary. IT IS
thought some of the matters of which they
complain will be corrected. and that they will
render their usual good services on May
day if they are called upon to suppress dis
turbances. In any event no Apprehension
need be felt for the Government has arranged
for the presence OF a military force in Paris
and the immediate vicinity that will be strong
enough to put down any outbreak short OF a
general revolution. The police are believed
by many to take advantage Of the feeling OF
uneasiness 10 make claims that at any other
