As we understand the situation now It
is something like this. Both Seton and
julius Whiting, Jr., were candidates for
President of the Ohio Penitentiary. Both
could not have ii. While IL Is o "fat take"
it is too small TO be cut in two, with Sef-
ton half and Whiting half. Hence
Whiting, who was nearest the throne was
allowed to hog all the fat. This left Sef-
ton sore and sour. Mckinley then pro-
ceeded to sweeten his disposition with
hopes Of future gain in some other avail
able place. Seton taxed his ambition ON
Trip In Canton Ripper. Now il Julius
Whiting is helping him as stated in our
Columbus special, it is personal obliga-
ton to disappointed rival and is not IN
the interest of Caution. In Columbus, it
seems, some think Mckinley 10 behind
Whiting, but IL so we would be the least
likely to know II. Why not do something
for Seton outside of Canton. There is the
fisheries disputs with Canada, which
calls fer additional commissioners. Why
not make Seton Commissioned OF Oodhsh

that pays we'll and Is full of chilling dig

SECOND DEGREE
Is the Verdict in the Hawkins
Murder Case.
The Result OF the Trial Great
Surprise
AS tn General Opinion Seems to be
That
Hawkins Should Hang For the Murder OF
Anpie Lacy--close Of the Case---rhe
Arguments Charge of Judge Taylor.

The jury in the Charles Hawkins muir
der case retired on Monday afternoon AT
5 lib, and 6 80 o'clock the same evening
brought in verdict OF murder IN the sec
ond degree. The verdict was great
surprise to all who heard the evidence, as
the general opinion was that the verdict
should have been murder in the first
degree. .. ft ne q.
When the News DEMOCRAT went to
press last night Attorney j. M. Myers was
still making his address to the jury. After
he concluded Prosecutor Bow closed for
the state and made a strong plea for first
degree verdict,
Judge Taylor then charged the jury, in n
fair and impartial manner. His cuarge
was favorably commented upon by all
who heard IL, and attorneys do not hesi-
tate to say that 1t was one OF the fairest
charges ever delivered in murder trial.
At 8: :15 the jury retired and the general
impression wac that in very few
minutes a verdict of guilty as charged IN
the indictment would be returned. At
6:50 the jury knocked and was escorted
into the court room. The foreman an
found guilty of murder in the second
degree. A motion was made for new
trial. II is nardy probable this will ever
be argued as the defendant at least should
be we'll satisfied with the result OF tue
trial. When the verdict was announced
I1hWhIub EGIuAintu ithlhoNuDl1 Ous "b
peared to be pleased with the result.
Attorney j. M. Myers who conducted
the defense has reason to feel grateful OF
the result. He had desperate case and
that he won 1t, speaks highly for that gen
tleman. The case was so desperate
in fact that leading attorneys refuSed tc
assist in the defense, Saying that Hawkins
was sure to hang. An effort was made tC
get several different attorneys to assist IL
the defense, but all refused on the same
ground. Prosecutor Bow made out {
strong case and from the evidence the yer
dict should have been murder in the hrt
degree.
The general opinion seems to be tha
the verdict is an outrage and that, as I
strong case had been made out, TIT
verdict should have been guilty al
charged. :,
A News. DEMOCRAT reporter talked
with several of the jurors and Learned
that one reason why second degree yer
dict was returned. was because the Stat
did not show sufficient premeditation
Another Juror stated that the verdict wa

There he proceeded to get pretty full. He
reported TO the police last night that he

ASH CASE COMPROMISED.
The Husband Gets His Farm
Back and Will Allow Mrs. Ash
Divorce.

The delegation of Mr., Powell Ash's
friends from Pennsylvania have finally
succeeded in effectiDg n compromise of
the difficulties in the family and articles Of
agreement are being drawn up today
specifying the terms of settlement. Mrs.
Ash has relnquished the title to the But
Ter county farm and the farm and oil in
terests are to be decided to Ezra

farm the receipts from the oil are to be
divided and one portion set aside for the
maintenance of the children. Mrs. Ash
will get the house here and in Youngs-
town but must pay all debts in Ohio.
Under these terms Mr.. Ash will make no
fight and will allow her to secure divorce.
He will return to Evan City and live on his
farm but will probably be sent to Alliance
to the Silver Ash institute and cured of
his opium and liquor habit first. Last
night he gotJ on a and about 2 o'clock
wandered up onto Walnut street and some
parties thought he was trying to get in
their house and called the police. When
the officers arrived they saw who it was
and Mr.. Ash wanted to take them home
with him and set up the apples and cider.
During the conference between Mrs.
Ash and the Pennsylvania gentlemen, DR..
| Silvers has manifested much interest,
and yesterday tended Mrs. Ash's baby
while she was gone. The gentlemen from
Evan City say that when he lived there he

to-day, and explicit instructions were given
for guidance in case of an uprising. 1t is
understood that the monarchical parties
are most feared, but whether the Govern
ment has definite information about tn e
vast conspiracy which is so darkly limited,
nobody can learn.
Hopes Raised High In Madrid.
A dispatch from Madrid says that the
friends of the Orleans family in Spain are
highly elated over the situation in France,
and that councils are being held there
from which important results are expected.
1t is difficult to conceive how the Count of
Paris can in any way profit by the situation
as it exists to-day.
1t is an hour of suspense in Paris. The
Cabinet aud the Panama Committee have
each decided not to resign. The struggle of
Thursday is by both sides regarded drawn
battle, but if it had not been for the votes
of the Cabinet Qdinisters themselves, the
Government would have fallen. The Gov
ernment has undoubtedly strengthened
itself for the time being by the arrests The
next move in the vast drama is awaited
with anxious apprehension.
The idea of great and mysterious in
huences back of current events is taking
possession of the people, and the vague
ing q most dangerous state of public
opinion. 1t seems hardly reasonable, how
ever, to take so alarming a view Of the situ-
alton as does the London Times The Paris
correspondent of that paper to-day says:
"Life in Paris at this moment is like being
on board ship in q frightful storm, when
each moment the vessel may be dashed on
reef"
The same paper says editorially: 'It is
hardly possible to exaggerate the gravity
of the present situation for the Republic
and for France"
Serious Apprehension in England.
The general continental situation is be-
ginning to excite serious apprehension in
England, where it would be difficult to cre-
ate popular war scare short of actual hos
tilities. ''Wolf'' has been cried too many
times for that. The rather alarmist utter
ances of Mr.. Balfour at Sheffield, the other
day, are, however, of considerable signif-
cance, albeit his evident desire to draw at
tention away from internal political issues
detracts somewhat from the weight of his
words 1t would be folly, he said, to look
forward with confidence to an Indefinite
future of European peace. "Our very
existence" he went on, depends upon
our foreign policy, and upon those imperial
forces without which any foreign policy is
an absolute imposslbility. Unless the
country not only recognizes the responsible
ity1which may at no distant date be thrown
on the Government of the day. but also
faces the fact that year by year the House
of Commons must keep up a critical obser-
vation on our means of defense which are
from our means of offense,
the time may come when the foreign minis
ter, anxious to do his duty and to support
those great traditions and those vast inter-
ests which are committed to his charge,
may find that through the inattention of
governments our means of defense have
been allowed to sink into such condition
that it would be madness to attemp to sup
port by forces the national interest COM
mitted TO him"

AMERICAN GOLD NEEDED
To Keep Up the Proper Style in the House
of Dufferin.
rBY CABLE TO THE p1sPArc,

of Dufferin.
rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATcHl
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Evening NeaOs
gently observed yesterday: 1.-THE forthcom-
ing marriage of Lord Terence Blackwood to
Miss Florence Davis, of New York, though
in no sense marriage of convenience,
will be useful to the house Of
Duferin from q money point of view.
Never very rich, Lord Dufferin has always
felt it his duty to devote the last farthing
of his diplomatic salary and allowances
to the purposes for which they
we're granted-those of representation
and though the offices which he
has held have been very lucrative,
such as the Viceroyalty of India and the
Governor General of Canada and the am
bassadorships at Constantinople, St Peters
burg and Rome, he has saved nothing. He
is grand seigneur in his way, and, though
he receives e10, 900 year, with allowances,
as Ambassador to France, it is not likely
that he can put by any of this. He has an
estate in ireland, but, as in the case of most
of the great land owners of that island, he
is poor in respect of it.
Lord Dufferin's experience is not e1-
ceptional in the British diplomatic service.
Lord Augustus Lotus was bankrupt, and
Earl Granville and Earl Lytton left their
families in very straitened circumstances
The rich dowry of Miss Florence Davis
Will not, under such circumstances, come
amIss to Lord Blackwood.
