KNOXVILLE's BOND SUIT.
Mr.. McAdOO Not Accused Of Applying
the bonds to His own Use.

Mr.. McAdOO Not Accused Of Applying
the bonds to His own Use.
Knoxville, Tenn Aug. 3.-Referring to
the bill filed by George w. Henderson, re-
ceiver of the Knoxville Electric Railway
Company, against the Union Trust Com
pany in Philadelphia, to recover from the
trust company S247, because of the al
legged diversion of said sum from corporate
purposes, w. G.. McAdoo, former presi-
dent of the railway company, said this
afternoon to the correspondent of the
Southern Associated Press: "A very err
roneous impression is created by the pub
lished reports of the nature of this suit.
There is no charge that $2O0,0O0 was di-
verted to my private use. The sole claim
in the case, and the only legal ground
upon which liability is asserted against
the Union Trust Company, is that the
agreement between the trust company and
myself that out of the S350.000 of bonds
placed on the street railway property
500, 900 should be employed in the pur-
chase of the old street railways of Knox
Vile, was improper and illegal. There is
no charge or ground for any charge or
insnuation that any of the bonds were
applied to my personal use. The 100000
in question were used in paying the own
ers of the old horse car lines in Knoxville
for their stock, from which it not only
received no profit but to which l added
more than 1000 to pay the purchase
price of $4,000. The remaining S150,OO0 Of
bonds were used TO improve the property,
as provided in the mortgage. The recov-
cry sought from the trust company is
based upon purely technical grounds,
which every lawyer understands, and
there is absolutely nothing in the whole
transaction which in any way is discredi-
table to me.
This whole question has been thorough
ly sifted in the United States circuit court
of Knoxville in a similar action against
the Union Trust Company, the decision of
the court being against the
claim and in favor of the
trust company. The matter is a
hoary chestnut and l would not notice it
but for my desire that no false impress
sion may be created concerning me indi-
vidually'

statesman who seriously and earnestly

The Speaker, a liberal weekly paper,
says that Dir. Morley viii return at once
TO literary work, OF which he has enough
TO occupy him for a year. He will not
seek reelection to the House of Commons
until this shall have been finished. The
Speaker says It regrets that Sir William
Vernon HarcOurt, who, defeated at Der
by was subsequently elected for West
Monmouthshire, did not adopt a simi--
lar course, at least, that he did not allow
himself six months seclusion for self-eX-
animation at his country residence.
The Daily News says 1t is desirable
that Lord Rosebery should speak as n
leader of the liberal party before parlia-
ment meets. 1t continues: He was pre-
mier for more than a year and in the
ordinary course will be premier again.
This reflects the mood Of the liberals for
the present.
1t is understood that Mr.. Asquith viii
resume his barristers practice. which win
not leave him time to rally the liberals.
The attorney general and the legal ad-
visers of the government are exercised
over a curious state of affairs discovered
in connection with the duration Of parli-
ament in the event of the
queens death. BY the act Of 1896 1t WAS
provided that parliament should not last
more than six months after the demise Of
the crown. This applied to Scotland ana
Ireland after they entered the parlia-
ment of the United Kingdom, but the re-
form franchise act of 1867 enacted that
the demise of the crown should not af-
feet the duration of parliament This
act applied only to England and Wales.
\ similar reform franchise act was in
1868 passed for Scotland and ireland, but
does not contain any clause referring to
the demise of the crown. Hence in the
event of the queens death, Scotland and
Ireland would have an election within six
months thereafter, unless parliament
should extend the clause of the English
act of 1867 to them. In view of the queens
age and the size of the present paria-
mentary majority indicating that the
House will last for seven years, the mat
ter becomes of practical Importance. while
the delicacy Of the subject makes it diff
cult to Immediately adopt an act thereon.

CONFESSION OF THE QuNLANs.
They Virtually Accuse Holmes OF the
Crimes Charged Against Him.


Crimes Charged Against Him.
Chicago, Aug. s.--A morning paper gives
the following particulars Of a confession
made by the Quinlans yesterday TO Chief
Badenoch, which was taken down by
stenographer: They related that In their
opinion. Miss Cigrand Mrs. Julia connor
and her daughter Pearl, and Minnie and
Mamie Williams are all dead. and that
Holmes murdered them.
Pietzel, they said. quarreled frequently
with Holmes, because the latter would not
act squarely with his associates in the
dealings, and they believed that Holmes
killed Pietzel, so as to prevent any telling
of his crimes, which, they believe, Pietzel
was aware Of to some extent. As to wheth-
er Pietzel participated in any of the muir
ders they do not know. They believe that
Holmes, after killing Peitzel, felt it neces-
sary to dispose Of the dead mans chill
dren. and that Alice, Nellie and Howard
Pietzel were killed by him.
AS to Miss Van Tassel they know moth
ing. and never saw her.
Miss Cigrand. Mrs. Connor, Miss Pearl
Connor and Minnie and Mamie Williams,
they thought. came to their death in the
Holmes building.
Mrs. Quinlan related that one day. when
her husband was away, she saw Holmes
poking into the stove I'm his Office, which
was red hot, something which looked like
portions of a human body, and that a hor-
rible odor came from the room. Quinlan
said that after Holmes had gone away he
found a bottle of chloroform IN the steel
vault. They both said that they saw the
Williams girls about July 8. 1893, for the
last time. and that they must have been
put out Of the way at that time
The police have nothing new to advance
in the Holmes case to-day. Supt. Bade-
noch was not in his office during the day
and Inspector Fitzpatrick was engaged
with others matters. He said work was
being pursued on the case upon the lines
suggested in the information gained from
the Quinlans.
1t was s.~Ced to-day that a dime mu-
scum firm had secured lease on the
Holmes castle in Englewood and would
fence it and charge visitors 10 cents for
admission to the house and grounds.

A HAWAIIAN SUGAR COMBINE.
They Aim 30 Breas Up the Americans

They Aim 30 Breais Up 4He Americans
Sugar Trust.
San Francisco. Aug. 3-The Hawaiian
sugar planters have undertaken to form
q combine. which has for its object the
breaking down Of the American sugar
trust and the establishing of free marxet
for sugar. Nearly $1,e50.OOO has been sub
scribed by leading and influential planter
and the sDreckles Bros. of this city have
been asked to join the combine. At first
it was thought that the local sugar kings
would join but they have since refused to
do so.
Hon. p. c. Jones. a prominent Ameri-
can and Hawaiian planter, is at the head
of H." said member Of the Spreckles firm
to-day. But I cannot say just what is the
object of the combine. Jones Is a hard
worker and as he has money and friends
he may be successful in putting his scheme
in part, TO a test"
The contract Of the big planters with
the American sugar trust. it Is learned,
expires IN 1897. The planters do not think
they are getting the benefit Of the high
prices charged for sugar, and they de-
sire bfore entering into an agreement
to place themselves in such a position
as to be able to be independent Of the
eastern and local sugar kings. When
officers have been selected to manage the
affairs of the planters trust the concern
will work upon basis of 10000 tons OF
sugar, and will levy an assessment of 81
per ton for the crop of 1894, and 81 per
ton for 1895. 1896 and 1897. placing an avail
able operating fund Of 800 600 IN the plant
ers' treasury.
