The WITNESSES WILL GO

About the Graves Case.
COUNTY ATTY. STEVENS TALKS.
DIR. Graves Declined to Discuss HIS Case,
but Told the Reporter about Book
He is Writing and About Fourteen
Lectures.

DENVER, Col, March Ia dispatch
from Providence takes the ground that
the second trial of Dr. Graves will never
come to pass because the Eastern wit
nesses will not 20 to Denver to make a
protracted stav on account of financial
loss to themselves, as was the case at the
previous trial.
County Attorney Stevens Yesterday de-
MED the statement from Providence.
"All OF the witnesses we have 20 far
heard FROM" he said. "have expressed
willingness TO come on the same ter ms as
In the first tri i. No one has refused,
and no one has asked for greater com
pensation. AS for the Providence wit

vinced of DR.. Graves's guilt as / am, and

Court for the legal fee of SOS; that's all

quest IL shall go into the case again"
A reporter called OF DIR. Graves and
drew his attention 10 the dispatch from
Providence stating that in the belief of
witnesses In the clambake state the Sec
ond trial would never come of. and that
there was a belief that f. hauling the
doctor over the Goals justice ha aot hold
or the wrong person, and that the Barna-
by will still hangs fire in the Supreme
Court of Rhode Island.
The doctor declined TO give an opinion
in the matter. stating that he was as
much in the dark as anybody. aud 80
long ms the case was a mystery to him IL
wo uld be manifest injustice for him to
state suspicious or spin theories. The
truth In the matter would eventually
come out, and in the meantime he pre-
ferred to say nothing as 10 his case, but
TO leave it in the hands OF his lawyers, |
who were aburdantly able to take care
OF IT.
Letters came to him from all over the |
country, many coming from people |
whom he has never seen and never ex- |
pected TO see, and they were more or less
sympathetic. Il fact, several cranks Ia
different states of the Union had stated
TO him that they are the parties who
mu rdered Mrs. Barnaby.
DIR. Graves said he was writing a book,
which he hoped to complete before May.
He was in sort of quandary as to what
TO call the book. but concluded " The
Of a Yankee" would be an
appropriate title. Just as TO what the
character Of the work was DIR. Graves
would not then saw, but he was much in
terested in it and was confident that it
would be 90.
He has some fourteen lectures he has
written In past years. lectures covering
ais travels in Africa. Asia, Europe. Mex
co and South America. aud these may
Dc drawn upon for material.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-Tn the commons to-
day Cavendish- Bentinck asked whether
the attention of the admiralty had been
called to the recent celebration at New
York at which President Harrison was
present when the flag Of steamship
builtand subsidized az British cruiser
had been changed and the flag of the
United States hoisted in its stead? Also
whether the admiralty would heneeforth
prevent such proceedings
The secretary to the admiralty replied
that there was nothing to prevent the
transfer of a British mercantile cruiser
to foreign country after the period for
which the subsidy had been granted had
lapsed.
Gladstone made a motion that on

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 27.-Ksnsas to-
morrow will have but one house of rep
rssentatives. The Populista were in
caucus all day today considering what
action to take in view OF the decision Of
the supreme court that the Republican
house was the legally organized one.
After much discussion it WAS formally
decided tonight that the Populist mem
bers should Join the Republican house
tomorrow morning. They will demand,
however, that the house pass an appro-
priation for the payment of the salaries
and per diem of the officers and mem
bers OF the Populiht houee to date.
The Populists decided also that no
bills should be passed excepting those
necessary to keep in motion the ma
chinsry of the state and that an ad-
journment should be reached as speedily
as possible.
The senate today empowered the cleo
tions committee to inquire into the
election of Chief Juetice Horton OF the
supreme court. The Populists say they
believe Horton was Illegally declared
elected in 1890 over the Populist candi-
date Rightmeier. Their action seema
dictated by revenge for the decision OF
the supreme court declaring the Populist
house illigally organized.

BY the Associated Press.
WAsHiNGroN, Feb. 27.-In the senate
today after the agricultural bill WAS
placed on the calendar the pension ap-
preparation bill was taken up. Gorman
called attention to the fact that a bill
appropriating Sl66,0O0,000 was being
run through the senate with very few
senators giving any attention to it. This
was the cosnmissioner'se estimate of what
would be needed, but the fact was the
commissioner did not know bow many
pensions would be added to the rolls
this year, and it was beyond question
that there would be az the end OF the
fisoal year on the 30sh of June next 9
deficiency OF $5,000,000 to SEC, GOO 900.
German said he could not fail to take
notice Of the fact that there had been an
overwhelming vote in the house against
any change in the pension laws. The
fact was aa stated last week by the sena-
tor from Illinois (Palmer) that there
had been rivalry between the two
great political parties to see how far
they could go in the matter of pension
legislation. All that he (Gorman) de-
sired to do was TO call the attention of
the senate and people to the fact that
with the present condition of the PEN
sion laws congress would be powerless at
the next sess on las it WAS at this to re-.
duce the pension appropriation 10 any
extent until the question was.taken up
by the preseAt committee, and until
legislation Was had for the reduction OF
pensions.
Palmer spoke of the subject of PEN
sions as one interesting the country very
much. The amount of the pension ap-
preparations was exciting surprise.
There Was growing anxiety that PEN
aionH should be paid only to the deserv-
ing, and no tbcuHaE the 'ola soldiers
{pens;oaerB, as well rs nonapensioners)
would favor any proposition that tended
to eliminate from the rolls those who
did not deserve pensions. He trusted
the new administration would find
man Tor pension commissioner who COM
pretended the gravity of the subject
and would have the courage to do right.
After further discussion, the bill
passed without amendment.
The conference report on the military
academy bill was agreed to, and after q
conference was ordered on the sundrv
civil appropriation bill public business
was suspended in order that fitting trib-
utes might be paid the memory of the
late Senator Kenns.

AN ADDRESS no THE PEOPLE.
The Importance of Maintaining Demo-
cratic Clubs.

The Importance of Maintaining Demo-
cratic Clubs.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The National
Association of Democratic clubs tonight
issued lengthy address to the people,
in which, after referring to the work OF
the past and the Democratic triumph
last November, it says: In spite of that
victory the enormously rich benefciaries
of the federal policy OF taxing the many
for the benefit of the few are alert at
every point, and tariff reform, as con-
templated by the Democratic party and
the majority of the people, will only
be accomplished after a fierce and
prolonged struggle. The people, it is
true, have selected an executive
and congress- to make this latter for
them, but the battle is to be made, and
is yet to be won. Everything substan-
tial remains to this hour with the enc.
my, including the vast wealth of the
monopoly combination. increasing every
day; the monopoly laws stand unre-
pealed.
The object of this address is to urge
the Democratic people and those who
unlSeu with Jnen al Jn6 eioCJi0u III mo-
vember last to maintain and ex-
tend the system of affiliated Demo-
cratic socisties whose recent ser
vice to the grsat cauee was 80
conspicuous as to be known of all men,
and which muse, until the fruits of the
late victory are gathered and garnered,
be required to uphold the hands Of their
! official representatives, in ths long and
desperate struggle with private interests
still before them. The Democratic
president and Democratic congress will
need in the next four years more than
ever before the support of
vigilant party and an aroused
people, represented in perfect
organization whose principles and pur-
poses are beyond any possible question.
A miscarriage in the elections of '94
or failure to return another large tariff
reform majority would be calamity of
crushing magnitude. Against it we can
have no defense except in system
of Democratic cluba, we'll organized,
active end aggressive, in every state and
district where a contest is to be made.
