INTERVIEWED By BRITISHERS.
Ex-MayOr Hewitt and Ex-Secrefar!
Whitney Induced to Talk.

LONDON. May 20.-Ex-Mayor Hewitt said
in an interview: 81 do not regard the
Lexow investigation thus far as having had
any final decision respecting the regenera-
ton of the police force in New York. When
/ was Mayor of New York the force was
corrupt, but my hands We're tied. and l
did not have the power to prevent the cor
ruption."
Mr. Hewitt was then asked who he
thought would be the next Republican can
didate for the presidency He smiled and
said: You might we'll ask me which
way the wind will blow tomorrow. / do
not. however, regard the situation as favor
able to the Democrats. 1t is my opinion
that the Democratic party is dead and has
no show whatever before the country"
Ex-Secretary Whitney was asked: do
you regard the situation in the United
States as favorable TO the Democrats
Il do, indeed. You see the country is
all the while becoming more educated on
the vital question of the tariff. The Dem
ocratc party has helped the question along
in the right direction. You will find that
the Republican party will make many mis-
takes when they come to deal with the
question. They dare not live up to any
high-tariff plank they may insert in their
platforms They will not dare, two years
hence, to go before the country with any
Mckinley bill unless in a vastly modified
form. You will find that in the next two
years President Cleveland will stand be-
tween both parties and a safe and con-
sentative element

HULL-TREAT DEBATE
FOUR NIGHTS OF CHRISTIANITY VS..
sPIRITUALIsM At MUNCfE.
Anderson Court officials Investigate
ing the Confession of Mrs. Bolton
the Foust Murder.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.


MCNCIE. Ind, May D-The long-looked-
for debate between Moses Hull. of Chicago.
and Elder w. y. +. Treat. of Muncie, on
christianity VS.. spiritualisrn'' was begun
tonight at the new Church of Christ
Campbellitel. which was dedicated a week
ago. The meeting was arranged some weeks
ago. when Mr.. Hull. who is lonized by
spiritualists. accepted the long-standing
challenge OF Elder Treat for a four nights
debate on the following resolutions:
First-Resolved. That modern spirituaiism
IN It's phenomena is proven by the scriptures
OF the Old and New Testaments. Hull
second-Resolved. That modern spiritual
ism Is condemned by the Scriptures OF the
Old and New TestamentS. Great afiirma-
tive.)
The debate is TO be made in installments
of thirty minutes each. two hours to be
consumed each night. The first two nights
will be devoted to the FIRST named resolution.
The Inoderators are Senator o. y. Cranor,
ex-United States Minister u. T. Sweeney.
of Columbus. and Dr. T. j. Bowles. The
large auditorium was nearly filled tonight.
there being many ministers and spiritual
lists present from all over this and other
States
Ii was the general opinion after to-nights
debate that Hull was the most eloquent
OF the two speakers. but that the points
made were about equal At the same time
the opinion of one, IL was found. did not
fit another. consequently little good can
hardly be derived. Hull said he was pleased
TO have the opportunity 10 debate under
circumstances not characterized as quar-
rel. He attempted to prove that IF the
Bible be true so is spiritualism, and if the
Bible be wrong. spiritualism Is right any
way. His arguments pleased his followers.
When Treat branded spiritualiSm
''damnable' and nothing less than AN
archism' his adnirers responded with
smile. The talks went on, each speaker oc-
cupying every second OF his time scoring
against the other. When to-nights debate
closed each flock congratulated their man
for gaining so many points on the other

and decided to try Taylor first. Sir Edward
Clarke then dwelt at length on the great
Injustice which was done TO his client by
having TO wait while Alfred Taylor was
tried. But in spite of the argument of his

allowed his bail to be renewed. and he was
