sentative Newton C. Blanchard. The appoint
ment gives general satisfaction.
WASHINGTON, March 7.-senator White
resignation was rendered by telegraph o-day.
Mr.. Blanchard will TAX his seat in the Senate
March ~.
Public condemnation of Senator White $
course. which was first aroused by The World S
publications calling attention to its impro-
priety, has been growing stronger daily.
Other newspapers have followed the lead of
The World and have criticised the Louisiana
Senator in the severest trims.
The Senator own colleagues have talked
freely among themselves of his error, for both
the friends and opponents Of the tax on sugar
have regarded Mr.. Whites course as a mistake,
even the sugar planters lobby here agreeing
that the prospect OF securing a satisfactory
sugar schedule was injured by Mr.. Whites con-
tinuance in the Senate.
Senator White has ielt the criticisms. He has
been annoyed especially by The World's edi-
torial suggestions that he should res gn one or
the other of his Offices. He has always been u

Dec. % Mr.. Keliy's wish for particu-
lars was gratifed by the receipt from
"a. E.. Peltzer & Co." of this letter:
Dear Sir: Through an oversight which
We hope you will pardon, our letter to
you was not written from my personal
inspection. Having known young Ver-
mons relations. / took him under my
care when death was inevitable. Vernon
was very well connected in this city. his
father being a prominent politician, and
two uncles in the abstract and title bust
ness. He had when he died but one rela-
tion, an uncle. who, 1 understand. de-
frauded Frank out Of a sum Of money.
You probably know Of his ieaving this
uncle and starting out for himself with
race-horses. two of which he owned but
lost through gambling. We understand
that one Of them, Ratalpo, now owned
by M. F. Dwyer. was purchased Tor him
by a friend in the East.
"As you probably know. Vernon was a
remarkably bright young man. well read.

rected in proper channels, would have
made him a prominent man. DR.. Will

William Vernon. in tine Waldheim Gem
etery, this city. I was with him during
his last moments. Vernon suffered intense
agony, but bore 1t bravely, and spoke Of
you as his friend and be%nefactor."
The letter said that Vernon's watch
and ring would be shipped by express,
and that Dr.. Hildreth asked $50 for his
trouble. A day later a package came
BY American Express c. o. d. $50. Mr..
Kelly paid the money, expecting to find
the jewelry. He found only a package
Of playing cards.
Mr.. Kelly then reported the case to
Inspector Mclaughlin. Feb. Q Vernon
was heard from in st. Louis, whence he
wrote &c Mr.. Kelly, asking for money.
On the Inspectors advice Mr.. Kelly told
Vernon to come to this city. He ar
rived Tuesday and was arrested at the
Putnam House, in Fourth avenue, by
Detective Crowley.
All concerned seemed to desire to
avoid publicity when the case came up
e In Jefferson Market Police Court yester-
day. Mr.. Kelly stated the facts briefly;
the prisoner admitted his guilt, and
Justice Mcmahon held him for trial in
1900 bail. Mr.. Kelly declined to say
how he came to know Vernon, and Yer
non would say nothing.
The family of Mr.. Kelly, ST., has had
unpleasant experiences with swindlers
