through questions asked the deponent
during her examination to implicate Col.
Swope and other citizens of Lexington
with Miss Pollard. Mrs. Ketcham's an
swers were all to the effect that Miss
Pollard acted in modest manner, as a
chaste and good girl. To the knowledge
of Mrs. Ketcham, Col. Swope never came
to her house to see Miss Pollard
When Miss Pollard came to the house
to hoard with the deponent in 1884 she
wore dresses to the tops of her shoes and
was apparently young girl. Mrs.
Ketcham also testified that Col. Breckin-
ridge had room at her house short
time while Miss Pollard was there
Mr.. Farrell, the young lawyer for the
plaintiff from Lexington, read the
deposition of Mrs. Mary f. Hoyt, a sister
of Mrs. Ketcham, who testified that Miss
Pollard told her that she had agreed to
marry James G. Rodes on condition that
he paid Tor her education. Miss Pollard
was absent from Lexington from July
6 to Septem Der 2, 1886, saying that she
had gore with her aunt.
"Did you know Col. A. NJ. Swope?" was
asked the deponent.
"Yesn
"Did he call on Miss Pollard?n
"To my knowledge he never called on
MissPollard while at my house. miss Pol
lard. said the deponent, occupied down
stairs room leading to the street but
Mrs. Hoyt did not think Miss Pollard
could have received any visitors there
without her knowledge Mrs. Hoyt
never noticed anything about Miss Pol
lard that was not proper. Miss Pollard
left Sayre institute because of her humil-
iation over the action of Mr.. Rodes in
telling the principal there that he was
paying for Miss Pollard's tuition on the
conditions that she would marry him.
The deposition of Major H.B McClel-
Ian, principal of the Sayre Female Insti-
tute, where Miss Pollard was a pupil,
was next read. The Major produced the
school record which showed that Miss
Pollard was absent a great deal during
the first year at school, sometimes
week at a. time. The deponent did not
know of any acquaintancesh1p between
Col Breckinridge and Miss Pollard and
he had never seen anything about her
to excite suspicion as to her chastity.
The court adjourned until tomorrow.

Rio de Janeiro. March 15.-The Ameri-
cans who helped man the government
warships were paid off today and will
leave the city on the first ship sailing
for New York. The French warship
Magon on which Admiral Da. CANA
sought refuge just prior to the surrender
of the insurgent fleet, transferred Da
CANA and eight other insurgent officers
to a Portuguese warship and then put
out Several hours later, the French
mail steamer was stopped as she was
leaving port, probably beause the federal
authorities suspected that she carried the
insurgent admiral. Her captain proved
that none of the insurgents were aboard
her. President Peixoto and his cabinet
are considering whether they will demand
from the Portuguese the surrender OF
Da Cana. 1t is known the insurgent
admiral was anxious to get an asylum
under the British flag which has been
more or less at his service since the be-
ginning of hostilities. He applied for
passage aboard steamer of the Royal
Mail Steam Packet company whose YES
sells ply between South African ports and
Southampton, . but the captain
declined to carry him. The United
States warships will sail Saturday.

DOLE'S THREAT RENEWED.
England May Get Pearl HarBor If
This Country Is Unfriendly.

Mr.. Blaine Tried to Prevent Such Con-
tingency, but Kalakaua Was Induced
by an Intrigue to Refuse Assent te tho
Treaty-The vindication of Mr.. Stew
ems Causes Much Satisfaction.
Honolulu, March s. 8.-Nothing eventful
has occurred since the Australia and
Warrimoo sailed on the Sd and 4th inst.
In conversation on the 7th inst, Presi-
dent Dole strongly re-asserted the opin-
ion that the cession of Pearl Harbor to
the United States was only temporary.
By the terms of the treaty of reciproci-
ty, the cession of the harbor terminated
with the treaty, which either party is at
liberty to give notice of terminating.
This was fully admitted by Mr.. Bayard.
Mr.. Blaine subsequently negotiated a
new treaty, making the cession of the
harbor permanent, but this was defeated
by an intrigue with Kalakaua. The
United States occupancy therefore con-
tinues only temporary. The Hawaiian
government may soon find itself at liber-
ty to cede the occupancy of the harbor
to Great Britain should the attitude of
the United States be unfriendly. There
are no treaty restrictions upon Great
Britain or any other power to prevent its
occupying naval station in Hawaii with
the consent of Hawaii itself. The pref
erence of Hawaii is for close relations
with the United States. ''Had the
United States actually occupied Pearl
harbor, or expended large sum of mon
ey on it, continued President Dole,
sssome sort of lien might thereby be
created, giving them at least a prior
claim, but after the lapse of many years
not one cent has been expended by the
United States upon Pearl harbor. The
only labor expended has been that of the
ordinary naval forces employed in sur
yeying the bar and harbor." Admiral
Irwin is under no orders to survey Pearl
harbor, and is doing it on his own ac-
count to qualify himself as an authority
upon the subject.
Mr., Dole said yesterday that Mr.. Will
lis maintained a friendly attitude TO-
wards the government. Mr.. Dole was
asked how he understood Mr.. Gresham s
qualification of Mr.. Thurston's report OF
his reply to the latter enquiry of No
vember IA as to the Presidents inten-
ton to use force. Mr.. Dole is convinced
that it was the intention to hold over the

MAY NOT HANG.
Blixt VIII BE Used as Witness Against
Harry Hayward.

MINNEAPoLIs, Dec. 17.--It is not like
ly that c. A. Blixt, the self-confessed
murderer of Catherine Cling, will be
hanged. He will be brought before
Judge Hicks. of the district court Mon
day, where he will enter plea of
guilty. Sentence will not be passed,
however, until he has been used as
witness for the state in the
case of Harry Hayward, and then,
it is expected, he will be given
life sentence. The court Saturday
appointed Judge j. Ms Shaw, w. j.
Hahn and F. H. Carleton, three very
able criminal lawyers, to defend him,
but when they attempted to hold a
consultation with him Sunday, Blixt re-
fused to have anything to do with
them. Harry Haywerd will probably
be arranged Monday. He is still in

test his innocence, and claims that

Gets Six Months, and Ofher Defend ants
Three Months In jail.
CHICAGO, Dec. Is. Eugene v. Debs
was found guilty of contempt by Judge
Woods Friday.
Debs was sentenced to six months
imprisonment and the rest of the de-
PENDANTS to three months in Jail, with
the exception of McVear, who has not
been sentenced yet
All of the defendants were in court
with the exception of Leroy NJ. Good
win, whose whereabouts are not
known and who could not therefore be
notified. The contempt for which the
defendants were arraigned was vio-
lation of an injunction issued July 9,
by Judges Woods and Grosscup, which
forbade all men not to interfere with
trains in any manner whatsoever.
1t was claimed by the United States
district attorney that Debs and the
other officers and directors of the
American Railway union repeatedly
violated this order of the court by is
suing directions to their lieutenants all
over the country to call out the men
and advising the crippling of the COM
plete railroad system of the United
States, if possible. The defense made
was that Debs and his assistants had
right to order strikes and to continue
to conduct their side of the fight
against the railroads.
Judges Woods and Grosscup were
both on the bench when the bearded
little bailiff raped the court to order.
They sat in the United States court of
appeals and gave several decisions of
minor Importance before Judge Woods
came to the decision for which the big
crowd was waiting.

husband. While She was looking after
machinery in the third story of the
