TO LAY DOWN THEIR ARMS.
European Talk of Disarmament 1t Is
Probably Only Talk.

London, March 26.-The Paris corres-
pondent of the Times, in reference to the
recent utterances of Chancellor Won
Caprivi, which are assumed to Indicate
that Emperor William is endeavoring to
bring about reduction of the military
expenditures of the Powers, says: +" AT
a recent meeting of the Italian finance
commission, one of the mem bers, Slgnor
Capelli, declared that he he had learned
from an absolutely certain source that
Emperor William was pleased to see that
Italy was reducing her army: COUNT
Kalnoky, Austro-H Hungarian Prime Min
lister, has advised King Humbert that En-
peror Francis Joseph is pleased because
of the lessening of Italy's military ex-
penditures. -,
The correspondent further says that
the King of Denmark, in conversation
with a Spanish gentleman few days
whose mission is one of peace. is quite
ready to cooperate. Emperor Francis
Joseph is equally disposed to do his ut
most to bring about this end. | have not
yentured to speak to Emperor William on
the subject because young sovereign
always dreams of winning new laurels.
I am sure King Humbert is willing to
military burdens, while your Queen
Regent of Spain has proved her desire
for long peace. am sure, therefore,
that Russia, Spain, Austria and Italy
are equally eager for an unbrohen period
of peace
The King added that he hoped to live
long enough to see European powers
make sweeping reduction in their mill
tary establishments. A Berlin despatch
to the Times says Germany interprets the
Chancellor's words to mean that several
of the powers are willing to participate
in movement looking to the general
reduction of military expenditures, and
that the Kaiser is the foremost among
the rulers who earnestly desire pro-
longed peace.

A Bangor Tragedy.
Bangor, Maine, March ga tragedy

Edward Burke's boarding house on .Ex-
change street, known as the New Eng
land house. Horace Pelky, whose home
is in Howland, Maine, is a Frenchman
aged about 25. He works in the woods
and arrived here last Thursday. Mrs.
Della Rickers, who separated from her
husband three years ago, arrived their
Friday, and has been working as
cook. Pelky has been in love with her
for some years and has repeatedly asked
her to marry him and threatened several
times to kill her if she did not, accord

she would not and told him not to ask
her again or come to see her. He said:
"That's all right,n and asked her when
she went to bed to come to his room and
kiss him good night. She said she
would and went to his door. He met

alive. She ran from him and he re-
turned to his room. where he cut his
throat from ear to ear with a razor. but
presumably did not try to shoot himself,
as no mark of a bullet was found on
him. The police rushed in and found
him lying on his side in large pool of
blood. A physician was called. but
Pelky lived only about twenty minutes
after cutting his throat. The room he
occupied was shocking sight. The
woman told her story to the police while
in fainting condition, the shock having
unnerved her. The revolver is an Eng
lish bull dog of thirty eight calibre, and
had three shells in it. all discharged, when
found. Pelky's parents, three brothers

TO TALK WITH GEN. HYDE.
New London Still Hoping to Get the Bath
Iron Works.

New London. March 26. Gen. Hyde of
the Bath Iron works has been invited to
come here and meet representative
citizens. who will consider the PROPOSE
tion looking to the removal of the Bath
Iron works to this city. The matter has
been discussed by business men, and it
is believed the proposition already made
will be modified. At present, the propo-
sition is indefinite, inasmuch as little is
known of the business of the Iron works,
The fact that the concern has built up
large business and has apparently a
bright future before it is looked upon
with favor, and the citizens are inclin ed
to secure the works if they can reason
ably do SO.

Marshal Smith, ''the Great Unknown"

To Be a Scheme on Foot to Get the

Canton, Ohio, March 26.-When the
sun rose on Camp Lexington this morn
ing not soldier of the Commonweal
driven them all out Of the big tent
during the night. Fifty-eight had gone
to the police station, where they were
given lodgings on the cold stone floor.
Others scattered in different directions,
many to return no more. Those who
assembled this morning at the camp
were given breakfast. Coxey claims re-
cruits are coming in SO fast that it is
impossible to keep count. If this state
ment is true the new arrivals are sue
cessfully keeping out of sight. Three
women in male attire are with the army.
Nearly an inch of snow covered the
ground this morning, with the temper
allure pretty well down toward zero.
COXey, browne ana Une OGner leaQerS
slept comfortably at the hotel. The ex-
animation OF the court records today
showed mortgages against Coxey's
property to the extent of $48, 900, and it
is claimed he will not be able to pay ten
cents on dollar if pressed. He will
leave the army at Alliance to go to
Chicago, but asserts that he will be abb
sent only night. Camp Lexington was
broken at eleven today, and the start for
Louisville made with less than seventy
five men in line. Coxey and his lieuten-
ant claimed that everything was work
ing according to the celestial schedule
with which they have been furnished.
A scheme to furnish the army with
fifteen or twenty gallons of bad whiskey
has been set on foot in hopes that
soldiers may get drunk and break up the
expedition before it gets beyond
Alliance. Whether this scheme is
carried out or not, there is good prospect
of trouble within the next day or two.
Many of the Commonweal soldiers are
murmuring against Marshal Louis
Smith, the Great Unknown" who has
shown an arrogant spirit in governing
them. They threaten to attack him. The
army pitched Camp PETER at Louisville,
Ohio, this afternoon. At present all is
quiet on Buck Run.

amined, Mr.. Wood said his brothers and
the "old mann kicked about the en-
gagement and said if he broke the en-
gagement they would help him pay for
house he wanted to buy. He practically
admitted that he would have married
her If it had not been for the interfer-
ence of his brothers. In fact, he looked
for an excuse to get out of the agree
ment with Miss Pollard.
There was stir in the court room as
Mr.. Stoll said I" / will read the deposition
of Mr.. Aieck Julian" The deponent
said he was 40 years old and lived near
Bridgeport, KY. He knew Miss Pollard
for about fifteen years. Mr.. Julian is
blind and Miss Pollard referred to him
Barnabas" He was not blind when he
met Miss Pollard about 1872 On the
night OF December "a, 1882, four
months after he became blind he was
at the house of Squire Tinsley. Miss
Pollard was there. The next morning
Miss Pollard and the rest of the .om-
pany drank egg nogg.. They went to the
mony. Some one proposed that he and
Matte" should marry. Squire Ilns-
ley came in very hilarious and Miss
Matte said: "Here is a man who will
marry me-" The Squire performed
mock marriage for them. Julian and
Miss Matte sat IN the parior alone ZOE
while after this. Miss Pollard, who had
been drinking too much, proposed that
as they were married, they should retire
for the night They went up stairs and
Julian sat on the side of the bed. just
then somebody asked for them down
stairs and Squire Tinsley's daughter
came running up to the room. Julian
testified that once he kissed Miss Pol
lard. Otherwise he never had taken lib
critics with her. She was then about is.
Julian was compelled to tell how he lost
his sight. He had gone to the Shelby
vile fair carrying a revolver. He got to
the fair after drinking two pints of
whiskey and several gills more. He tried
to have some fun with negro by pull
ling a pistol on him when the negro
begged him not to shoot. He said: "Well,
I'll shoot myself" and put the pistol in
front of his face. He thought nothing
was in the chamber on which the trig-
ger fell, but there was, and that was how
he became blind. Julian said on cross
examination that Miss Pollard was "as
nice girl as there was in the communi-
ty so far as her virtue was concerned"
He had never seen her do or heard OF her
doing anything not modest and chaste
with the exception of the mock mar
riage, and the incident that followed
was the result of her intoxication. He
kissed Miss Pollard only once.
At the conclusion of the reading OF
the deposition, court adjourned until to-
morrow morning.

PRESIDENTIAL MIND MADE UP.

Congress Will Know To-day the Fate of the
Seigniorage Bill.
Washington, March 26.-It is under
stood that if the House of Representa-
tives had not adjourned on account Of
the death Of Senator Colquitt, the Presi-
dent would have sent to Speaker Crisp
today a message disposing of the
seigniorage bill. He was SO busy in the
morning that he denied every one except
Secretary Carlisle and Secretary Gresham
admission to his office. While the
MESA ge, which is said to be all ready
for transmission, is probably veto, it is
not at all unlikely, in case the Presi-
dent had signed the measure, chat he
would prefer to explain his reasons for
such action, In any event there is little
doubt that the matter is settled SO lar
as the President is concerned.

Chilly Reception by Mrs. Dominis's
Recent Advocate.
Washington, March &c. 26.-Theophilus II.
Davies, guardian of the Princess
Kaiulani and one of the chief represe7-
tatives of royalty in Hawaii, reached
Washington last night and spent the
greater part of today trying to gain an
audience with Secretary Gresham, who
was so busy that he excused himself.
Mr.. Davies says he is here to find out
what the United States proposes to do
about Hawaii and, incidentally, to
speak a few words in behalf of the
Queen and against the provisional gov
ern ment. He says reign of terror ex-
lists in Hawaii, and not even a small
proportion of the people favor annexation
to the United States. He places no faith
in the idea that the provisional govern
ment intends to esta ablish permanent
Repub ublican form of government as that
would give the citizens a voice which
would result in overthrowing all the
annexation plans. He thinks the pro.
visional government is at the mercy OF
it's army of aliens and spies while the
people of the country continue to have
faith that the United States will give
them justice in accordance with the
communications of the President and
the Queen will yet be restored or Prin-
cess Kaiulani raised to Jhe throne.
