What \ X. of T.. Report Says About the
Famous Introduction.
BALTIMORE, Feb. l4.-The grand lodge of
n three days session in this city. The
report of Grand Keeper of Records and
Seal James Whitehouse refers to the re-
cent encyclical of Pope Leo XII. and its
condemnation of the knights of Pythias,
with several other secret organizations,
in the following words:
Recently presumably through influ-
ences not congenial to our soil, q relig-
ious organization has taken steps to ex-
cludc from our order and drive out all ad-
herentS among their faithful members.
How any mortal man, or immortal either,
could reach such conclusions in this land
of liberty and intelligence and unstinted
charity as to try and prevent any citizen
from attaching himself to an organization
like this, that does not interfere with any
civil, political or religious liberty, is a
more profound mystery than the theory
that all motion has its origin in an atom.
1T might have had some reason i'm
mcdiate!y after the creation..of Adam, but
in this electrical day of thought and de
velopment TO condemn societies originated
solely for the care of their sick, to watch
over the welfare of the wives and children
of former members and to help each Other
materially when necessary, to forbid q
citizen from attaching himself to such q
body, the same process of reasoning would
justify withholding succor to the starving

FEATURE OF THE GOLD CONTRACT.
One That Il Viewed Differently by Differ
ent statesmen.

ent statesmen.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1i-One stipulation
in the contract made by the treasury
with the bond syndicate is that in case
the government desires to issue any more
bonds between now and Oct. l, 1875, the
Morgan Belmont syndicate shall have the
preference right of purchase, all condi-
tions being equal. This part Of the agree.
ment was insisted upon by Morgan and
Belmont, who argued that it might take
several months to place the S62, i0O, 600 just
negotiated for, and that it would be unfair
for the government to go into the market
as q competitor of theirs until they had
a reasonable time in which to sell that
part of the issue which they might desire
to dispose of.
Nothing in the contract prevents the
government from issuing bonds at any
time either prior or subsequent to Oct
next, the only condition being that in
case another issue is decided upon before
Oct. I the syndicate shall have 4 prefer.
ence right of purchase. By some men,
bers of the ways and means committee it
Is held that this is an option in favor Of
the bond syndicate, while Others claim
that the provision is just and merely
gives the present purchasers of the bonds
an opportunity to maintain the price at
which the present issue was sold and not
allow bond at a much more favorable
price to be put on the market to the detri-
ment of the bonds already purchased by
the syndicate. There is nothing, it is
claimed, in the contract to prevent the
treasury from rejecting offers of the syn
dictate and make bond sales elsewhere.
nor is it forced tn sell ent t.rcly to the syn
dictate if il chooses to sell elsewhere, but
it is said by this very provision the gov
ernment is assured that it can dispose OF
further bond issues on equally favorable
terms to itself

SKULL IN THE COURTROOM.
Sensational Incident in the Barnes Murder
Trial at Chicago.


Trial mt Chicago.
CHICAGO, Feb. Ii-Dr Lewis j. Mitch
ell, coroner's physic an, was among the
witnesses called in the Barnes murder
case in Judge Freeman's court. He
enumerated and described the nature of
the wounds which he found upon the
body of Barnes. His recitation of the de-
tails of the post mortem examination
moved the large crowd in the courtroom
to feelings of the deepest horror. Each
individual wound was described by the
doctor, and the blood ran cold when he
made reference to "A piece OF skull which
had been driven three inches into the
brain.
Attorney Knight, On behalf of Jordan,
cross-examined the doctor. He brought
into view the skull and rolled 1t out
where the witness could see it. Then he
unpacked a plaster cast of the head of a
dead man and placed it alongside the
skull The uncanny skull and the plas-
ter head were introduced with the object
of allowing DIR. Mitchell to indicate more
definitely the direction of the wounds
upon Barnes head.

Of the managers OF the appropriation pills
to glue the necessary time to the debate,
and there are several senators who have
not been seen, some of whom may object.
Representative Hartman, of Montana,
has introduced a resolution in the house
intended to bring the matter of the old
Mexican silver law to the attention Of the
house and serve as an opening wedge to
the discussion of the question. II not
reported from a committee within six
days the resolution will be privileged and
can be called up at any time. 1t calls on
the SECRETARY of the treasury to inform the
house what proportion of the receipts Of
the government since Feb. i, 1895, have
been paid in the coins mentioned in the
law and which provided for their reception
at the treasury.
The law Hartman has dug up was
passed in 1857 and says: THE pieces
known as the quarter, eighth and six
teenth of the Spanish dollar and of the
Mexican dollar shall be receivable at the
treasury Of the United States and its sew
eral offices and at several postoffices and
land Offices, at the rates of valuation fol-
lowing: The fourth of dollar, or piece
of two reals, at % cents; the eighth of n
dollar, or piece of one real, at 10 cents,
and the sixteenth OF a dollar, or half
real, at cents"
The section following provides that
these coins shall not be reissued from the
treasury, but shall be be recoined into
United States coins The law has never
been repealed and silver men in congress
assert that it is possible to send the metal
to Mexico for coinage, reimport it into
the United States and present it at the
treasury. They assert that the validity of
the law is beyond question. and point to
the statute rcsurrected by Secretary Car.
Isle which practically compels the treas
ury to redeem national bank notes in gold
as evidence that there are more intrica-
cies in the monetary system than have
been realized.

RAMSAY WAS SHORT.
What the Treasurer of the Illinois Na-
tioDAl Bank SAYS.


CHICAGO, Feb. 1I-Concerning the
shortage Of the late State Treasurer RAM
sey, Carl Moll, treasurer of the Illinois
National bank, which stood behind the
state treasurer's bond, said:
"When Mr. Wulff entered on .he du-
ties of his Office in January he objected
to the style of assets on hand, which were
in the form of checks on the five Chicago
banks. Upon his demand the banks i'm
mediately shipped the currency to SPRING
field. Going back of that, the banks in
volved We're first apprised of the deceased
officials management of the states funds
at the installation of his son, Elisha Ram
say, as successor by appointment Of Gov
ernor Altgeld. +. II. Blount of the Chi
cago National bank and myself, as rep
resentatives OF the Sondsmen, with the
state auditor and others of the treasurer's
Office, as provided by law, were present
at Springfield, and in examining the ac-
counts we found that certain assets were
held in place of 1868, $50. -.
''The deficiency was made good Nov. 81
by taking up the securities and placing the
checks of the banks on deposit, which
were afterward redeemed in cash. Henry
Setter, banker and business partner OF
Treasurer Ramsay, was loaned S240,O 900.
The treasurer himself used $4,000, for
which we foun his due bill in the vault.
Ramsay's estate is probably worth $780,
OoO. AS this claim by the state of Sl15,-
900 WAS assumed by the bondsmen it was
made preferred claim of the sixth class
last Saturday, the bondsmen being SUBJ
rogated for the state in the matter. This
was ordered by Judge Jones in the coun-
ty court at Carlyle The security from
Setter consisted of 2,0o0 acres Of farm land
near Mitchell, Ills, and st. Louis, vari-
ously estimated in value from $4,000 to
500 OOO''

CASEIS HOPELESS.
That's the Way It Looks for
Harry Hayward.
ADRY AND BLIxT CoRROBORATED.
A Hackman to Whom the Accused Man
Made an discriminating Proposition Pre-
sented by the Observation-Disclosures Of
Trance Medium as to Another Scheme
the scoundrel Had to Obtain Money
from His Victim.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. I4-The state in
Harry Hayward delivered body blow
which staggered the defense The first
witness introduced in the morning was
none other than Peter Vallalie, the hack
man of whom Harry had spoken to Adry
IS being willing to assist in the proposed
crime. Nallal:e's testimony was most
damaging to the defense. as it corrobo-
rated in u striking way one portion Of
Adry's remarkable story and thus
rendered thoroughly untenable the de.
lenses pet theory rs to Adry's sanity.
Vallalie testified that Harry Hayward had
approached him with questions as to
whether he had ever done anything" and
il SO whether his conscience had bothered
him. Hayward had later asked Vallalie
whether he would drive a hack into Lake
Calhoun and let the occupant drown for
a sum of money.
Il told him l was no swimmer" said
Vallalie, and that was about the end Of
it,
Outside Confederation.
This is the first corroboration Of the
stories of BliXt and Adry obtained from
an entirely outside source and exhibited
in striking way Hayward's strangely
careless way of asking discriminating
questions and making damaging state
ments. That man capable of concoct-
ing SO cunning and intricate plot
should have made SO many conf.
dants seems as almost incredible
as that he should have concocted the plot
at all. Mr.. Erwin at once recognized the
supreme Importance of this testimony
and tried to have it stricken out entirely.
The court, however, refused to sustain
his objection and the evidence goes to the
jury. 1t was q Knockout blow reserved
by the state until the very last, and sadly
upsets the defense's plans.
Trance Mediums Testimony.
Mrs. Emma Goodale, a trance medium,
doing business under the cognomen of
| Mime. Peterson, was an interesting wit
ness. Harry had come to her alone and
asked her to tell Miss Cling when that
lady should call that she would win at
gambling. She demurrei, but he told
her if she would do as he asked she would
never lack for money. Against the ad-
vice of her husband she consented to do
as Harry asked. Accordingly when
Miss Cling came with Harry she told
her that she would be very lucky at
cards for three or four days and then
would lose if she played. The next day
Harry came and told her that on the
strength of her advice Miss Cling had let
him have 500 to go to Chicago and gam
BILE with. Harry had told her of other
amounts he had secured from Miss Cling,
amounting i'll all to $3.50 Mr.. Erwip
asked her if she knew what she said or
did while in her frances. She replied
that she did not.
