Can Prove Innocence.

Can Prove Innocence.
OSHKOSH, Wis, March 29.-The case
of Ferdinand Jules Thrun. the now
famous insurance swindler, was before
Jostice Merrill dnring the afternoon.
The hearing was continued till Friday.
Only sufirientevidence will be taken to
justify his being held to the circuit
court. There is no defense, Thrun hav-
ing made full confession, in which he
tells how the plot was laid. the
skeleton procured, . how he went
to New Orleans and remained
there until captured. Interest
chiefly centers now upon his declara-
ration that T.J. Hansen. the well known
claim agent of the Wisconsin Central
railroad, was the originator of the
scheme to defraud the insurance com
panies. Charles w. Feller, one of the
leaders of the Wisconsin. bar, has been
retained on behalf of Hansen, and pro-
fesses his ability to prove that the case
against his client has been trnmped up
by the insurance companies. III. Handy,
who signed an affidavit to the effect
that Thrun was burned to death when
the house took fire, but who. as Thrun
claims, saw him and talked with him
afterwards, also insists that he has a
perfect answer to the charge.

CARAvEu.s OF COLUMBUS,
A Wonder That the Ancient Mariner
Ever Reached America.


NORFOLK, March 29-The Newark,
bearing the flag of Rear Admiral Ben
ham, in company with the Bennington.
reached here from Hampton Roads
about 8 o'clock a. m. The two vessels
at once went along thenavy yards. where
they will remain until they have dis
charged the exhibits for the Chicago
fair and have made the necessary prep
arations for the coming review. In
spite of their long ocean trip of 35 days
and their recent run up from Havana,
the two vessels are in excellent con-
dition.
Wonder He Ever Got Here.
In speaking of the caravels, one Of
those detailed to cross the ocean in the
old-time craft said he had gotten his fill
and great deal more. His only WON
der is that Columbus ever succeeded in
getting over here at all. The vessels
were built as nearly as possible to con-
form to the pictures and descriptions Of
them published from time to time, but
there were no plans or well aut}leticated
models to aid in the calculations, so the
resulting vessels may or may not be on
the same lines on which the originals
were built.
Be this as it may, the weather quail
ties OF the caravels are very negative,
and they can only make progress that is
at all satisfactory when the wind is
fair. AS for tacking or working to
windward, it is utterly beyond their
powers. Even the Santa Maria, which
is considerably larger than the other
two cnly succeeded in making a little
more than % miles a day against only a
moderately fresh head wind and not a
particularly lumpy sea. although she
made much more favorable showing
with fresher wind.
!. Accommodations Were AIeager.
. The accommodations aboard the
Pinta and Nina We're only sufficient to
call for a detail of two officers and eight
sailors to act as their crews during the
ocean trip. The experiences of these
people We're such as will probably deter
others from volunteering for similar
voyages, should there ever be occasion
to make them. 5
The men of war towing them were
able in smooth water to make about
eight knots an hour, and even then the
light flail craft would skip along from
the crest of one wave to the tip of an
other in most astoundingly lively
manner. When the sea would rise, the
scudding and pitching, added to
the incessant rolling made them
more than ever uncomfortable, and
menacing to limbs and body. While
no serious accidents are reported,
owing to the careful and skillful way
all the vessels concerned were handled,
there was general bruised feeling and
soreness of body, and it was great re-
lief when the caravels were left behind
at Havana Nobody envies the Spanish
officers the getting of these vessels up to
New York, especially if there should by
any chance be heavy wind or sea
on the way np.

The United States Profits by the

French-Canadian Treaty.
OTTAWA, Ont, March 29.-There is
new phase of the treaty with France
which is of Importance to the United
States. 1.-The minister of finance an.
nounced in the house that in reducing
the Canadian duties by throwing off
the 30 per cent. ad valorem on non
sparkling wines Canada would not dis
criminate in favor of French wines, but
would simply lower the customs duties
generally. This will admit United
States wines and certain fruits and nuts
at greatly reduced rates.
Will Attack the Governments.
The critics of the treaty in parlia-
ment will attack the government be-
cause the United States receives large
advantages without giving any return.
The government, which at first refused
to ask the house to ratify the treaty,
will, it is said, ask it on Wednesday to
do so because the refusal is prejudicing
the Canadian case in the Behring sea
arbitration.

in the matter of turning the rascals out.
New converts are very often noted for
the quality OF their zeal, but in this in
stance the other members OF the cabi-
net seem'disposed to hold that zeal in
check. The Secretary of State, how
ever. is accredited with n desire to re-
tain Ministers Lincoln and Grant on
sentimental grounds and thereis consid-
cradle apprehension on the part of am
bilious Bourbons that he may succeed.
The Chicago municipal campaign
wakes warm as the days go. on toward
April Sd, the date of election. Candi-
date Allerton has recently scored big
point by refusing to allow the Republi-
can otticeholders in the city to be as
sessed for campaign purposes in his be-
half. He holds with q great deal OF
force that they are paid their salaries
for services rendered the same as pri-
vate employees, and there is no more
reason why they should be taxed than
any other class af wage-earners. There
is principle involved in this thatought
to have a more universal application.
AS rule federal, state and municipal
ofti,eholders are paid no more in pro.
portion than nien of like ability em-
ployed in other lines. and just why they
should be Systematically and dispro-
portionately mulcted to help elect a.
ticket with which they sympathize has
never been very clear to our mind.
There can be no question, however;
that genuine civil service Ieform has
been making great strides in the past
ten years, and when the public mind
becomes thoroughly inoculaled with.the
idea that each individual in IL commune
ity has the same interest and RESPONSE
bilitv in public affairs as every. other
individual. regardless of occupation,
smany of tho reforms which are now be-
ing struggled for win take on tangible
shape.

which the man is gifted and his readiness

playing Othello in Verdi's opera. Now
Norton is almost negro. Hehas swarthy
skin and short black beard, and in stature
is strikingly like Tamagno when made up

not strange that people in the streets see

Norton was not slow to profit by their
mistake. lie entered at once upon an ex-

hood, went on short trips into the Medi-
