POOR LuNATIo TOWNSEND.
He Is Arraigned, Charged With Attempt
ing TO As.assinate Gladstone.

LONDON, May 1l.-Wm. Townsend,
the man arrested on the charge OF hav-
ing discharged a pistol in Downing
street and also suspected OF having de-
signed to kill Prime Minister Gladstone,
was arraigned on the first mentioned
charge to-day. Townsend was also
charged to-day with having sent mem
acing letter to Mr. Gladstone, which
was read in court. The letter is dated
April 95tb, aud is as follows:

MIR. EUsTIs WAS PRESENT.
The Arguments of the Bering Sea Case
Continued BY cir Charles Russell.

PARIS, May 1.-The Hon. James b.
Eustis, American Am mbassador, was
present to-day at the session OF the
BerIng Sea Tribunal OF Arbitration
when Sir Charles Russell resumed his
argument, which was largely devoted
TO technical features OF the controversy.
Sir Charles argued that IL was impos-
sible that there could be property
rights In seals In Bering Sea, and be
supported his contention with quota
tions from American jurists, and In par
ticuIar from Prof. Woolsey's writings
on international law.
Sir Charles Russell, In dilating upon
the seizures OF Canadian vessels by the
Americans for seal catching In BerIng
sea, insisted that the seizures had been
made on the high seas without previous
diplomatic expostulation.
Mr.. Bayard, when Secretary OF State.
had never tried TO justify the seizures
on the ground that the United States
had property In the seals.
He then read extracts from a commu
nicatIop sent by Lord Salisbury, In re-
ply TO a communication from Mr.. Blaine,
under date OF January %, 1890. arguing
that unless the nations should agree
that pelagic sealing was contra bonos
rlores, the seizures were not jnstihable.
The alteration which followed Sir
Charles Russell's assertion that Mr..
Bayard had never tried to Justify the
BerIng Sea seizures on the ground that
the United States had property in seals,
was so hot that IL threatened TO Jeopar-
die the whole arbitration.
Sir Charles Russell. Senator Morgan,
Lord Hannen, Baron De Courcel, Mr..
Phelps and Justice Harlan spoke with
high spirit and occasionally with Bit
terness.
Senator Morgan and Mr.. Phelps de-
clined to guarantee that the United
States would accord damages for seiz-
ures, even II the tribunal decided
against them.
Lord HaDnen exclaimed. Then our
whole arbitration is useless and the
whole question will be reopened."
Finally the difficulty was adjusted
temporarily by the decision that discus
sion OF the question Of liability be post
poned.

TIE MISSING LINK FOUND.
Carlyle Harris Had Sweetheart After
Helen Potts's Death.

New YORK, May 11.-Perhaps the
only missing link in the chain OF cir
cumstantial evidence that convicted
Carlyle w. Harris OF the murder of his
wife, Helen Potts Harris, was that he
did not seem to have sufficient motive
for the crime.
If the suspicious OF Warden Fallon
and a number Of keepers in the Tombs

strong motive. 1t is alleged that be

Bruen first began TO visit Harris she
was accompanied as far as the prison

said, she was engaged, but that when

Tho Columbia Goes Under.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Columbia Ma
tional Bank, of this city, suspended to-day.
The bank had offices in the Insurance Ex-
change. The deposits were 81, 100000 and
the capital 81, ,0O0, 600. Rumors that the In
stitution was in trouble have been current
for nearly a week. 1t did business with
small country banks and was not in esteem
with the other banking concerns OF the
city.
As to the cause of the failure those who
should know say that collections on loans
have been poor.
Notices announcing the suspension OF
the Columbian National Bank were posted
on the doors, and a few moments later
James G.. Sturgis, bank examiner, assumed
control In the interest Of deposltors and
under the authority of the Comptroller OF
the Currency.
A constant run on the bank since the an
nouncemenJ of the Chemical suspension
decided the directors 10 close the doors. A
call for help was made, but as the bankers
were not notified until this morning lnsuf-
ficient time was allowed for an lnvestlga-
ton, and the request was denied.
The following notice was given out this
afternoon:
''There being constant run on US for
number of days in order TO protect the de-
positors and all interested, the Board OF
directors have decided TO close for the
present. All deposits will be paid in full.

The Newark EUe,aing Ne,0s, paper
that on national issues sides with the DEM
ocratic party, in criticising the platform
of the Essex Democracy, says
There are six questions upon which the
people OF Essex County are called to pass
at the election on November 7. They
are these:
Shall the laws OF the State be impartial
ly administered and enforced
Shall the practical Acknowledgement Of
thousands of voters through the unfair
gerrymander OF the Assembly districts be
corrected.
Shall the people of the counties, cities
and towns have restored and assured 10
them the rights OF local self-government
and home ruiel
| Shall the needless multiplication OF
public offices, the unwarranted raising Of
| official salaries, and the extravagant ex-
penditure of public funds, be stopped9
Shall tho legislation 10 legalize gamb,
| ling remain on the statue books OF New
Jersey9
Shall the autocratic power Of the Demo.
cratic bosses who forced the passage Of
the Coal Combine bill, the Racetrack acts
and the unfair partisan legislation, con-
tinue to be potent in New Jerseyq
These six questions are equally before
the voters of Hunterdon. There may be
an honest difference of opinion as to the
principles of the two parties, but there can
be none with honest and fair men as to
the questions above stated, and IL voter
wants TO cure the evils that have been fast
ened on the State by this vicious legisla.
ton, there is no other resource than vote
for the Republican candidates for the legis.
lature.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1893-11-01

The great question to be decided on
Tuesday next is, whether the people shall
rule New Jersey, or whether cabal OF
corrupt bosses and race-track magnates
shall dominate the state. The result will
depend largely on whether the people OPP
posed to race track legislation divide for
ces and vote for different candidates, or
unite on one man for the legislature.
It is plain that IL in this (the Firsl) Dis
trict some vote for the prohibition candi
date and others for the Republican, the
likelihood is that both will be defeated,
while If the vote IL centerci on one, he will
be elected.
Personally, the Prohibition candidate
is an excellent man, but the only effect of
his candidacy is to prevent the success OF
the anti race track forces. The Repub.
lican candidate is pledged to vote for its
repeal, and as the Republicans command
much the larger vote, the minority should
come over to them, at least Ia the office of
assemblyman, where so much Is at stake
for the morality and the good name of
the State.
II the race track party are successful In
the election next week, no stone will be
left unturned by them next Winter to
bind New Jersey hand and foot TO the
service OF the pool room, the race-track
and the saloon

Democratic Assemblyman Barrett, in
accepting a denomination for the Tenth
District of Essex county, said last Thurs
day in public speech:
81 voted against the Racetrack bills last
winter because believed them to be VIC
ious then, and still believe them to be
vicious. They are infamous 10 their ma
ture aud have not one redeeming feature
about them; they are immoral in their
tendencies and are injurious to the public
welfare. It is because of my firm convic
ton, strengthened II anything. by obser-
walton, that the measures are Ubiquitous
and hurlful to the public veal that / as
sure you that ii elected will use my best
endeavors to have the gambling laws wip-
ed from the statute books.
"Vicious, Infamous" Immoral, !"
and ubiquitous" Mr.. Barrett saw these
race track laws to be, but Assemblyman
Chamberlain, Of this county, was such an
innocent sort of fellow that he voted for
them because he didn't have his attention
called 10 their wickedness. So, we are told,
he says. 1t will be well to keep such a
guile,ess man at home.

The man who wants the race-track
and county-.icense commission legislation
repealed, and who votes for candidate
that cannot by any possibility be elected,
votes against his professions. Either
Chamberlin, the race-track candidate, or
Reading, the anti-race track candidate, viii
be elected; which, depends upon the votes
OF the moral and respectable people OF the
First District. To vcte for the third party
candidate is to divide forces and practically
to vote for Chamberlin.
