MoRRIs, ILL.,, March 2i.--Dr. Nc
Adams WINS placed on the stand ycster-
day in the Gardner bank robbery cnsc.
lie said he had lived In Gardner since
Nov. 10, 1885, lie had known Twin
ming since tho fall of that year. He
had u conversation with him about
this case, Twinning introduced him
self, and said that he had gone through
u postotlicc IN Wisconsin. lie knew
several things that had happened Mt
Braceville and Strcator One night the
proprietor of n store went To sleep In
his store and was found dead the next
morning. Twinning also said that he
had stolen ss5 from Cummings and $500
in stamps from the postonice.
lie then made McAdams the PROPOSE
ton 10 rob LutE's bank saying, 81 have
II in for Lutz." lie wanted McAdams
to be u local man. He told about sew
eral sharp fellows he could get to help,
lie agreed to bring professional
craftsman to interview McAdams Ito
gave him his address in Chicago. Me-
Adams first saw the man who was
thought TO be the professional burglar
about the sth or 18th of October, The
burglar" came To him at his own
Office according To AN appointment
made by Twinning. The man who
came gave the name of kriar.
Twinnlng and Friar came early In
the morning of Oct, 1. and talked
about blowing the bank safe on pay
day. Friur said he would furnish the
tools, The interview lasted about
twenty minutes,
McAdams saw them n few days later.
The time was fixed then when the bank
should bc robbed. l'riur came TO Me-
Adams few days aftcrwurd and
finished the arrangements, On the
night of the Goth Twinning came to
McAdams Office about o'clock. lie

taken To the bank by some one,
Friar broke the bank door open. Me-

and House.

WASHINGTON, March 3O-The threat
encd war between this country and
Great Britain is off. Such was the
opinion in the Senate this morning,
based on the reply Of Salisbury, cabled
from London. The reply is very
graceful back down on the part OF the
British premier. Considerable surprise
was expressed that Salisbury should
have replied SO soon after the Presi-
dents note of March 90. Ills doing so is
looked cpon Ms proof that Salisbury
has all along been playing n blufi
game and that he regarded the note in
question in the light of an ultimatum,
and naturally concluded that the sooner
he threw up the sponge the better.
Besides General Foster and Senator
Sherman, Secretary Blaine, Seuator
Frye, member Of the Senate Commit
tee on foreign relations, and Represent
ative Blount were In conference with
the President. They had under con
sideration the terms Of tho reply to the
proposition Of Lord Salisbury respect
ing the question of damages before the
arbitrator rs affecting the renewal of
the modus vivendi.
The President will prepare his reply
and submit it to the Cabinet to-day
and then in all probability will send II
to the senate, lie may demand further
concessions from Lord Salisbury, but
until he does, the majority Of the Sena-
tors believe that he will express himself
satisfied with the reply. Should he do
SO the treaty win be ratified at once
and the war cloud which has been
lowering above the nation for some
time past will fade into an irridescent
dream.

vented n meeting of the rules commit
tee in time TO prepare, discuss and agree
upon the contemplated resolution.
The word was then passed that the
resolution would be reported to-mor-
row, but since then a new stumbling
block has been discovered. Such
resolution as Bland desires and as
Crisp, Catchings and McMilln favor
would be in the nature of n cloturc
rule. An anti-silvcr Democrat recalled
to the Speakers attention in private
today the fact that the Democratic
caucus decided that the gag power
should not be exercised eX-
cept upon petition from a major.
ity OF the Democrats. Such
when BANDS memory was logged he
at once prepared a petition and started
out for signatures. To his great sur
prise he found many silver Democrats
who refused TO sign the petition. They
said they did not want to go on record
as voting in favor Of any gag law. IL
the Free Silver bill couldn't pass on its
merits. they were opposed to .thrusting
il down the throats of the anti-silvcr
people. Bland argued with them and
ae is still arguing. He hopes TO win
hem over and to get the required ma
ority. If he fails, the committee will
not, it is thought, bring in the rcsolu-
lion.
Speaker Crisp said, late in the day
hat the committee on rules would not
.eport the cloture resolution unless
Bland secured the necessary petition.
lie had told Bland so. Bland at first
lccl AIRED he would not get such peti
lion. Later, however, he changed his
