IMPRESSED THE JURY.
Attorney Wellman M ade Erastus Wi- man Make Sensational Admissions of His Peculations.

Attorney "ellman Made Erastus Wi-
 man Make Sensational Admissions
 of His Peculations.
 NEW YORK, June 14 In the Ersstus Wimsn trial to day MT. Wellman produced letters written by MT. Wimsn to both Mir. and Mrs. Dun in a most abject vein, beg ging for mercy for his past misdeeds. These letters referred to the fact that against the rules of his firm be had bor- rowed S25. 900 from the Chemical National bank on note. Mir. Wellman brought out the fact that shortly after this Wiman had taken $25, ,000 from the trust funds of the company, and on subsequent occa- sion $8 ,000. Theee amounts had been re- turned to the firm by Mir. Wiman after it was discovered that he had taken the money.
 MT. Wellmsn then made the witness make some very sensational admissions. By means of various letters and telegrams written by Mir. Wiman and by means of the company's books MT. Wellmsn showed and got the witness to. admit that during the year 1891 he had collected altogether $67, 900 due the firm and had diverted 1t to his own personal use, and during this per iod the witness was writing to MT. Dun, telling him tha. he would not overdraw his account.
 Then at the end of the year, when the accounts were coming in, MT. Wimsn had the full amount charged to his account, meeting the deficiency with the famous $1S5. 900 check, which was drawn by Mir. Wiman when he had e balance of less ! ing $67, ,O00, were collected in small install. ments of five and ten thousand each. All this mass of evidence made the
 greatest impression on the jury. The l jurors leaned forward in their seats and listened with the striotest attention. Mir. Wellman 6niehed the cross examination at 4:30 o'clock and General Tracy began the re direct examination.
 R. G. Dun was then recalled. In re- | sponse to MT. Wellmsn's questions he
 said he had not known of the note fol | $45, ,000 or the check for $135. 900 unti the books wers examined after MT. Wimsr
 had left the firm. When he referred tc ovsr-drafts in his letter of January 12
 1893, he had known nothing of thes, matters and had referred only to ths
 over draft of $24 GOO which had appeared on the books. Both sides rested at e:1i | o'clock.
 The case will be resumed in the morning
 Justice Ingraham has limited each side t
 an hour and half for summing up. Nr
 Wellman said he would not take half tha
 and General Tracy thought he could gs
 through in that period.

WILL EXAMINE SENATORS.

They Will be Asked Why They En-
 listed Themselves in Behalf of the
 Sugar Trust.
 WASHINGTON, June 14.-The sugar trust committee began it's session with an un- profitable witness. He was Charles H. Coster, a member of the firm of Drexel, Morgan & Co, and was summoned on a suggestion made to the committee that he might know something about senators snd sugar stock. Mir.

OPPOSED TO FREE WOOL.
Senators Lodge and Teller Speal
 AUafnat

Senators Lodge and Teller Speak Against It.
 WASHINGTON, June IA The tariff bill
 was taken up at 10:30 a. m the first para. graph in the wool schedule being the one | under consideration.
 MT. Lodge, rep. of Massachusetts, made 1 an argument against placing wool on the free 1ist. In the course of his remarks he referred, slightipgly, to the aid which Mir.
 Jacob Schoenhoef was supposed to have given to the finance committee in prepar-
 ing woolen schedules, but was informed
 by MT. Vest that MT. Schoenhoef had not
 been consulted on the subject and had no
 hand in the preparation of the schedule.
 By remark of MT. Power, rep of Mon
 tana that MT. Schoenhoef had failed in
 business four times MT. Lodge replied that
 the economist might be an expert in bank ruptcy if the finance committee should need any promptings in that line. He contrssted the action of the france com mittee in perfecting the cotton schedule with It's action in regard to the woolen schedule. Instead of consulting such men as Jacob Schoenhoef 1t had consulted ex- psrts in cotton manufactures. and 1t had procured 8 schedule which was 8 credit to it and was the only schedule in the bill of which that could be said. He described the pending bill as a bad protection bill, an unjust protection bill, but protection bill.
 Free trade, with every branch of the government in its hands, had met, he said, 8 most disastrous defeat It was a declining cause. Whatever might be the fate of the bill the doctrine on which this congress had been elected was defeated, and it was defeated becalse the great forces were against it.
 Mir. Teller opposed the placing of wool on the free list. He favored placing such a duty on wool as would enable American farmers to raise ss much wool as ever He wanted the wool growers of the country to understand that every republican senator was unit on the question that there should bs duty on wool. They would also understand that this was an attempt on the part of the democratic party to pla- cate the woolen manufacturers and get them on its side.
 As to the personal efforts on the part of senators to influence the finance committee MT. Teller said nothing had been left un- done to secure to the wool growers what | they had right to e1pect-a duty on wool.
 MT. Koar endorsed Mr. Teller's remarks, and declared that the manufacturers of l New England understood perfectly we'll | that not only their honor, but their interest | was inex;ricably bound up in the matter of | 8 protective duty on wool. Wool, said Mir. l Hoar, is the great object for protection.
 The senate at 6:30 adjourned. It is ex- pected that to morrow the senators may be l able to come to an agreement as to when | the vote shall be taken on the question of l fres wool.

FULFILLMENr OF PROPHECY.

Readers of current history will remem-
Der the prediction made by General U.
S. Grant more than twenty-five years
ago, that the Democratic party, if it
ever came into power, would break Its
back on the tariff question across the
Allegheny mountain range. That IS
has not done so heretofore has been be-
cause it was not fully in position to do
so; that is, not having full and complete
control of the government in its legisla-
tive and executive departments. But it
is in position now, and is performing the
fatal contortion at this moment, if, in
deed, it is not already accomplished.
But General Grants prediction is not
the only prophetic declaration of that
time. The assassination of President
Garfield and the trial of Guiteau made
occasion for as emphatic and even more
concise prophecy from Judge David Da-
Wis, whose strictly non-partisan attitude
divested his statements of political bias.
When asked by one of the attorneys In
the Guiteau case what, in his opinion,
would destroy the Democratic party, the
pondrous statesman promptly replied:
ga victoryr' If this prophetic exclama-
ton is not in process of rapid fulfillment
at the present time, then there is no re-
lance to be placed in political prognoses
or the most pronounced symptoms.
And, then, little later, the greatest
prophet of modern times, James G..
Blaine, in one of his master efforts in
the house, in discussing the tariff ques-
tion, foretold with prophetic precision
what would follow the Inauguration OF
the Democratic idea and policy of tariff
reform, which has long been under
stood to be synonymous with free trade
in its effect upon the commercial and
| industrial interests of the entire country:
which, in word, is that mills would
shut down, factories cease operations,
mines close, millions of people enforced
into idleness, general paralysis settle
down upon the business of the country
and widespread distress and disaster en-
sue. These utterances, which were
made in the nature of warning to the
country, could not be more accurate IL
detail if made today in the very midst
of their realization.
Further comment is needless. The
| conditions that confront and surround
us the most eloquent eulogiums upon
the prescience of the statesmen quoted.

MBNNoNlres ARE REPUBLICANS.

MARION, Kan, Feb. %, 1894,
To the Editor OF the Eagle.
In your editorial columns Of yester-
day, notice a clipping from the st.
Louis Globe, in regard to the Mennonite
community in Dickinson county. l
agree with the writer in all he says
about the moral and Industrious charac-
ter of these citizens, but must take ex-
ception to what he says as to their lndIf-
ference to political issues.
We have in this county OIarion) over
1000 Mennonite voters, representing
population of about 5000, who are not
only not Indifferent, but the
very reverse. They are keenly
alive to all public questions affecting
the welfare of their adopted country and
state and have used the opportunities
given in this country to make their IN
fluence felt at the polls.
Last year it was the boast of the Pop
ulist leaders in this county that the
Australian ballot law would cost the Re-
publican party 500 votes and give the
county to them. The Republican CEN
tral committee in view of the many diff
ferent opinions of the new law spent a
good dea! of time early In the campaign
in instructing the voters at large In our
county.
Our speakers. when the campaign
fully opened, made it a I art OF their
business to give thorough instructions
on the ballot law. They found that the
Mennonites were those who had taken
the most pains to inform themselves,
and We're better prepared to vote than
the Americans. When the returns came
in the smallest number of errors report
ed were from the very precincts in
which the Populists expected us to have
heavy losses, by reason OF their inability
to vote, i. e., iii the German townships.
1t may be different in Dickinson
county, but in our county the Menncn-
ties are not only industrious, frugal and
honest, but they are progressive, read
ing and up-to-date people, and are Re
publicans from principle, and because
they have no sympathy with anything
that tends to disorder, calamity or con-
fusion. w. Ii. E.

STATEHOOD AND THE TERRITORY

The rejection by the representatives of
the five tribes of the Indian Territory, of
the propositions submitted by the Dawes
commission looking 10 statehood for the
whole territory, makes necessary a
change of program on the statehood
question. Either single statehood will
have TO be abandoned and Oklahoma
proceed on its own account. or else con-
gress will have 10 ignore the claims of
the Indians, which they assert under
alleged treaty rights, and force them
into terms-allotment of lands in sever
atty and full citizenship under the fed
eral government. If the latter, it will
unavoidably delay final action. both on
the part OF congress and of the terri
tory. for at least another year.
As for Oklahoma, if the citizens Of
that territory desire statehood without
delay and ON their own account, this
last action of the Indians may serve to
facilitate the matter, if promptly and
judiciously used by the representatives
of the territory at Washington, in press
ing the matter before congress. Unless
prompt action is taken, the chances are
that Oklahoma will remain territory
Ndefnitely.
