Why They Cleared Him

A Matheny julyman remarked yesterday
that the only thing that cleared Matbenv
was the doubt in the mind of the jury as
TO what bullet struck Cashin. The prose-
cntlon did not show positively that the
first bullet fired killed the officer, while
Ely testified that both doors were open,
and bullet was found in the back of the
door in the jamb. This alone is what
saved Matheny, for this juryman says:
Il believe that majority of the jury was
convinced that Matheny was in the saloon
at the time of the killing, ana that the de-
tense was mere farce as far as the Sausa-
Tito aud Telegraph Hill stories were con-
cerned."
The jury stood on the first ballot one for
murder in the second degree, five for guilty
and six for acQuittal. These figures were
changed on the second ballot to seven for
acquittal and five for conviction. So the
Jury stood for eight or nine ballots. On
the final ballot eight were for acouittal
and four for conviction.

THE TBLEGRAPH'S RIVAL,
Practical Advantages to Commerce

Practical Advantages to Commerce of
the Long-Distance Telephone.
The practical advantages of the long
distance telephone are treated by Herbert
Laws Webb, an electrical engineer of
VIDE experience, in the current number
ol the Engi"ee11ng ndg0si1le. Some of
the points that he makes follow:
The service rendered by the telephone
Is IN many ways distinct from that of the
telegraph. The telephone brings two cor
respondents face to face, or rather month
20 ear. Question and answer, suggestion

VI uellVery OF messages. When a tele-
Phohic interview is completed, each corre-
spohueht knows exactly the position of
the oIher, and there is no lingering doubt
as 10 whether message has been misun-
uerstood, or whether there is not some
oiiilSslon or error in that telegram that
mlght have slightly different meaning
Although the telephone is to a certain a1.
tent The competitor of the telegraph. and
rom the superior facilities it affords in
Tue way OF Tree exchange of communica-
lloh, rapldIty, and secrecy, tends to di
vert the more important business from
tne telegraph circuits, yet it chiefly creates
d BUSINESS OF It's own, which, failing the
telephone, would not be transacted NV
telegraph, but would necessitate gen
orally journey. This is the reason why
the apparently high rates charged for
4ong-ulStance telephone communication
are not really expensive.
y large class OF customers who have
loqhd long-dlstance telephony of great
value and whose methods of doinp 6nsi-
ness nave been modified through the IA
cllltles 1t affords them are the large man
u1acturerS. At one time itIused to he the
practice for manufacturing firms to lease

rect communication between the head of

maps somewhere up in Connecticut. The
President or General Manager of the
company, with all his correspondence be-
lore MIN, speaks directly to the factory
managers ana heads of departments. and
the elect is to practically place Office and
factory under the same roof without sac
rlhclng the advantage, among others, of
lhe difference in price of real estate in
city and country. The ultimate result of
such utilization of telephone communi-
cation IS that heavy or varied stocks no
longer have to be carried in the city store
rooms, as even small orders can be trans
mltted at once to the factory and filled
from the stock maintained there
Probably one of the most striking eff
tects on general trade of the firm estab-
ilshment of long-distance telephony will
ne found IN the curtailing of the middle
mans held of operation. The talking
wires bring consumer and producer into
the most direct and closest communica-
ton possible without placing them face

Charges Against Recently Appointed
Officer Being investigated.
WASHINGTON, March 81. - The sub
committee of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee was engaged for time this morn
ing looking into the charges made by W.
\. Weeks, Chairman of the Indian Ter
ritory Democratic Committee, against j.
j. McAlester, nominated to be United
States Marshal in that Territory. 1t is
claimed that McAlester. by reason of hay
ing married Chickasaw woman, was no
longer citizen of the United States but
of the Territory, and therefore ineligible
to appointment; also, that he has opposed
Democratic organization in the Territory
and aided Indians in the recent uprising,
supplied them with arms and promised
them money; that he is man of great
wealth and power among the Indians,
and by reason of his influence, alleged to
be improperly used, is not the proper
man for peace officer. McAlester and
his friends appeared before the committee
this morning and declared these charges
trumped up tor the purpose of defeating
him in the interest of rival candidates.
The matter was postponed till Monday.
Meantime Weeks will lay his charges be-
fore the President.

NEW OFFICIALS.

Treasury Department.
WASHINGTON. March 31.-Secretary
Carlisle was busy to-day making Official
changes in the Treasury Department.
He called for the resignation Of II. c. Me-
Lean, Chief Clerk of the Architects
Office, and in his place appointed Charles
F. Kemper of Staunton, Va. The resig-
nation of Frank Smith, Chief Division
Architect of the Office, was rendered and
accepted. General Daniel McCauley, late
appointment Clerk of the Treasury De-
partment, has been appointed Chief Clerk
of the immigration Bureau, vice Hall,
resigned. Two messengers were dis
charged and two Democrats appointed in
their places.
Secretary Carlisle is having prepared a
list of employees of the Treasury Depart
ment, with the salaries they receive, and
will have it arranged by States The list
has been prepared already to such an ex-
tent as to show great disproportion among
the States, some having many more
clerks than their proper quota and others
less. Secretary Carlisle, it is understood,
intends by every means in his power to
reduce the District of Colum bias list of
employees, that the States may receive
their proper quota of appointments.

DIVORCE IN FRANCE.
How the Divorce Law Works in the
French ReDubIic

French Republic.
When certain people point with pious
horror to the 2l,0U0 applications Tor di-
vorce among the working classes, filed
between January |, 1883, and Decem Der
81, 1891, they do not grasp the real mean
ing OF these figures. What do these fig
ures signify then? Simply that in four
years 2l,OO0 working men and women
were forced to choose between illicit
unions or divorce and legal second
marriage-that is 10 say, $3.50 persons per
year, who, actuated by h&her morality.
desired, both on their own and their
chlldren's account, to regulariZe their
conjugal situation. If divorce had not
been re-established, or if it had been re-
strlcted to the upper classes, what would
have become of these q 900 petitioners {?
Is there any one who believes that these
broken unions would have been patched
up and these separated families brought
together again? Not even the most
determined opponent of divorce dares
hold such an opinion. No; these shattered
households would not have been re-
united. Clandestine unions would take
the place OF the 2l 900 regular ones, which
would surely be established in a vast
majority of the cases where the divorce
was granted, and the formation of a new
home thus made possible.
That the systematic enemies of the mar
lag A0i"VAOLi, tIlde lIe pdrIISaQS OF Tree
love" should rejoice at this state of
things, is easily understood. However.
it is to be noted that tits not the advocates
of free love who protest against q, 900
petitions for divorce emanating from the
male and female toilers OF France. on
the contrary, it is the determined friends
Of the indissolubility of the marriage tie,
or, at least, those who wish to limit the
extent of divorce and make it an aristo-
cratic institution-they it is who advo-
cate the continuation of this corrupt order
of things. L for one cannot understand
their attitude. L cannot see how, forced
to choose between q, 900 false households
and q, 900 regular ones. formed after di-
vorce, the advocates of holy wedlock"
can decide in favor of the u, 900 irregular
unions. AS for myself, while admitting
that the dissolving of the marriage tie is
an evil, l consider and shall always con
slider that, to whatever social class one
belongs, divorce which enables men and
women to re-enter upon legal union. is.
as regards parents, children and society
an infinitely less evil than the separation
obtained by the courts or agreed upon
privately.-Alfred Naquet, in North

The United States in Earnest Regard

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-The 600 Chi
nese in Western Pennsylvania finding
that Secretary Carlisle intends to enforce
the Geary law will probably register.
They sent Rev. L. r. Donehoo TO Secre-
tary Carlisle to ask him about his instruc-
tions. Carlisle said the law must be
obeyed. Donehoo claimed it would be
difficult for the Chinese to secure ten
white witnesses to the fact of their pre-
vious residence, to which Carlisle replied
that the law did not expect impossible
ties, and if one kind of testimony could
not be obtained the next best would, no
doubt, be accepted by the collectors OF
internal revenue. Rev. Mr.. Donehoo
will advise the Chinese that the United
States is in earnest and that they had
better obey the law if they wish to stay
here.
Donehoo said tonight that Attorney
May laid before him all the communica-
tions that had passed between the Chinese
Government and the United States since
the passage of the Scott Act of 1888.

own Government is placed in most hui

ference with Rev. L. r. Denohoo of this

ton with Attorney May, who represents

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-If the rev.

Francisco to Honolulu, made the ordinary
rate of speed, Blount, President Cleve-
lands special Commissioner, is now on
the Hawaiian Islands, and his investiga-
ton into the condition of affairs there has
been begun.
The story said to have been brought to
San Francisco by the United States ship
Alliance that Japan was harboring de-
signs upon the islands in case the United
States should conclude not to take pos
session or control of them made little i'm
preston here. At the Japanese Legation
1t was said for Minister Taneno, in re-
sponse to inquiries, that the legation had
no information whatever upon the sub
ject. In the absence of any communica-
ton from his Government or from the
japanese Consul at Honolulu, any ex-
preston of opinion upon the probabili-
ties of the situation respecting Japan and
Hawaii was withheld by the Minister.
The story brought by the Alliance said
that the officers of the japanese warship
in the harbor of Honolulu seemed to be
acting under the influence and advice of
the British representatives there. This
much of the tale is corroborative of the
statements contained in a letter from a
member of the Provisional Government
to one of the annexation Commissioners
in Washington, heretofore mentioned in
these dispatches.
That official wrote that since Wode
house, the British Commissioner, had
sent his formal note of recognition to the
Provisional Government, as the de facto
Government, he had avoided any inter
course or communication with the men,
bers, and up to the time the letter was
written, the officers of the war-ship, who
were in constant association with the
British officials, had failed to pay the or
dinary and customary visits of courtesy

Embassador to France.

WASHINGTON, March 3l.-In regard to
Minister Eustis for the French mission.
it has been practically decided to renomi-

a safer plan of action than for the Presi-
dent to assume the authority of designat-
ing him as such under his confirmation
as Minister Plenipotentiary. In order
that Eustis may have the distinction OF
being the second ambassador appointed,
it is more than probable that his new
nomination will be sent to the Senate
early next week, probably on Monday.
