ED. STOKES PARDONED.
He Springs a Sensation in a Libel Suit in
New York

NEW YORK, May 1O.-Argument was
heard today before Judge Cowing in the
court of general sessions in the libel suit
of Edward s. Stokes of the Hoffman
House against E. D. Stokes and Lawyer
William r. Martin. Ex-Mayor Oakley
Hall, representing Mr.. Martin, moved to
quash the indictment. An affidavit of
Martin was read IN which it was claimed
that Edward S. Stokes having been con-
victed and sentenced for the crime of
homicide in the shooting of Jim Fisk, was
civilly dead and the charges brought by
him against w. E. D. Stokes and him
self (Martin) could not be entertained.
Counsel for Edward Stokes thereupon
created sensation in the court room by
handing up to the court pardon of the
state to Ed. S. Stokes dated Dec. 1, 1884,
and signed by Grover Cleveland, then
governor, releasing Stokes from all
consequences of his crime. This intro
duction of the pardon is the first informa-
ton that has ever been given as to the
restoration of Stokes to citizenship.
Judge Cowing took the papers in the
suit and reserved his decision. The alleged
libel grew cut of civil suit brought by
Cassus Ii. Reed against Ed. d. Stokes.

killing him instantly.
RAIDERS companion dropped his gun
and ran and Gross and Gay escaped.

Secretary Smith strongly Objects to Its
Abandonment as a Post.
WASHINGTON, May 1O.-secretary Hoke
Smith has received communication from
the secretary of war transmitting the rec
ommendation of General Schofeld, in
which he conceives that Fort Duehesne.
Utah territory, be abandoned, in order
that troops stationed there may be with
drawn and with those at other remote sta
tions concentrated at new posts constructed
for them. In reply the secretary strongly
objects to the proposed abandonment and
says questions of great importance are
pending in his department concerning the
Indians which would seem to favor q
continuance rather than an abandon
ment of Fort Duchesne as a military post
at least for the present. These interests,
he says, might be seriously jeopardized
by withdrawing the garrison at Fort
Duchesne.

CROWDS AT THE FAIR.
Visitors Turn Out in Great Numbers tc
Visit the White City.

Visit the White City.
CHICAGO. May 1O.-Today the weather
was glorious, the warmth being almost
that of midsummer and great crowds
thronged the Worlds fair grounds An
interesting event was the dedication of
the Irish village in the midway plaisance
which had been erected under the patron
age of Lord and Lady : berdeen, both of
whom were present to-day to extend a
hearty welcome to all Visitors. The pro-
gramme, musical and otherwise, was of
an informal nature but very charming.
In official circles the Theodore Thomas
incident still occupies attention. Mem
bers of the investigating committee of the
national commission, however, refuse
fatty to talk about what they have done
SO far and say nothing can be given out
until they have sifted the evidence and
prepared report. The manufacturers of
pianos on exhibition today enter ed formal
protest against the use Of nom exhibitors
instruments on the grounds.
There began in the live stock DEPART
.ent today a novel competition. Seventy
five cows, representing the finest breeds
in the country, began a six months COM
petitive test OF the milk and butter pro-
ducing abilities of the Guernsey, Jersey
aud Shorthorn stock. Experts will watch
them daily.
The chiefs in charge of the horticul-
tural department have promulgated rule
which created no little merriment and
some discomfort among fruit men. This
is to the effect that none of the exhibitors
are TO give visitors any fruit from their
exhibit.
The chiefs based their action upon the
fact that concession was sold to certain
parties to sell fruit on the grounds, and if
the exhibitors gave away fruits this would
injure the business of the concessionees.
Fruit growers, nevertheless, will continue
to give away fruit as they please, holding
''that the proof of the pudding is in the
eating" and wanting visitors can learn
for themselves the excellence of their
goods.

THE WHISKY TRUST.
Evidence Produced Before the Illinois
Legislative Committee.

Evidence Produced Before the Illinois
Legislative Committee.
SPRINGFIELD, H., May 10. - j. B.
Greenhut, president of the Distillers' and
Cattle Feeders company, Samuel Wool
ner, manager of the Woolner Brothers
distillery at Peoria, and August Sllvers,
wholesale liquor dealer at Chicaho, testi-
fed before the investigating committee
today. Mr.. Greenhut's evidence did not
differ materially from that given before the
Congressional committee at Washington
last winter. In answer to the question of
Senator Solomon. he said he had at his
disposal secret fund which he disburSed.
The fund was set apart for the payment
of bills and was made disbursable by him
for convenience. All checks in payments
of large bills etc., of the company had to
be signed by the president and treasurer.
This explains the secret fund matter
Greenhut said he had as an Individual
made contributions to the campaign COM
mittees during political years, these were
out OF his own pocket and the money
was not used to influence legislation or
advance the interests of individual can
didates.
Mr.. Solomon asked Mr.. Greenhut a
number of questions calculated, as Mr..
Greenhut thought, to inquire into his
private business, and he declined to an
swer them. The committee, with the ex-
ception of Chairman Solomon, sustained
Greenhut in his refusal.
Samuel Woolner testified to having
purchased the Star, Crescent, Central
and Nebraska distilleries as an individual
transaction. After he acquired them he
sold out to the trust.
August Sievers testified that the trust
controls 80 or 80 per cent. of all the dis
tilleries in the country. He was unable
to obtain goods desired of outside houses
and was compelled to buy of the trust.

PENSION FRAUDS.
The Department Unearths Series of
Gross Robberies.

WASHINGTON, May 1O.-The pension
department has unearthed what appears
to be series OF gross pension frauds, by
w. R. Drewey, pension attorney of Nor
folk, Va, who is now under arrest. A
year ago he was discovered in frauds and
debarred from practice in pension cases.
Investigation by the present administra
ton shows that he had 1856 pensions
granted, mostly to illiterate negroes, aud
that 9S per cent. OF them were fraudulent,
the notary's name and seal being forged.
The extent of these frauds can better be
appreciated when it issstated that all pen
sions secured carried arrears. The mat
ter will come up in the United States court
at Norfolk on Monday, The frauds will
probably reach 800, COO.

HIS views OF Their Obligations.
WASHINGTON, May 10.-At banquet
tonight given in honor OF the new comp
trolIer of the currency, Mr.. Eckles. in
speaking of the national banking system,
said in part: 81 believe that upon every
national bank is placed a moral obliga-
ton to hold itself in readiness to assist
the officers OF the government in every
time of distress in maintaining national
credit. l am aware that no legal reason
exists for such course, but having drawn
so much of the wealth and power to them
selves through the generous dealings of
the government with them, the bankers OF
this country can i'll afford to place them
selves in an attitude looking with indif-
ference upon the anxiety of the financial
representatives of the treasury when the
financial integrity OF the government is
threatened. A prefer OF help from them
at such time, spontaneous in its char
acter and patriotic in its motives, would
disarm thousands OF critics who are loud
in denunciation and would reconcile them
to the system. ~

A CALIFORNIA BANK CLOSED.

SAN JOSE, CAL, May 1O.-The bank OF
the Santa Clara company today closed its
doors. This action was brought by the
discovery that shortage from $3.50, 900 to

of the bank, died last week and yesterday

Irregularities existed in the books.
This afternoon Leonard filed petition
in insolvency, fixing his liabilities at
$3.50, 600, and the assets at S144, 900. The
belief is that both Leonard and the dead
cashier used the money for speculation in
mining stocks and real estate. Leonard s
schedule shows that he borrowed S237 $50
from the bank, most of the notes being

THE DECLARATION.

The Declaration of Independence
is big document, bigger than the
Emancipation Proclamation and
bigger than Magma Charter.
1t represents the combined brains
and elaboration of a lot of very
large statesmen, but for all that,
there is no valid reason why each
4th of July millions of Americans
should stand in the hot sun for half
an hour. Git always seems three
hours to hear it drawled over by
some man who imagines that he is
interesting the crowd instead of
bearing it.
This Internal Declaration has
driven more people away from eel
ebration than any ten things COM
bined.
Patriots in America can stand
rain and dust and high winds on the
natal day of liberty, but few, none
in fact, like this annual infection of
the reading of the Declaration.
Years ago the writer stood in the
sun at 90, for nearly an hour, while
an old lunatic sprawlsd along over
the Declaration, and several women
tainted from exhaustion before he
got through.
We feel certain that we shed half
. gallon of perspirstion before he fin
ished, AMI vowed we would never
again attend celebration where
the reading of the Declaration was
announced on the bills. We have
kept our vow.
