Changes That VIII Result.
TO HELP GREEN OUT.
A Petition Circulated Among Mem
bers of the Police Force.


bers of the Police Force.
A move has been made by friends Of Po-
liceman Adwin w. Green, who shot and
killed Reuben Foster in Auacostia on the
night of March H. to make up a purse to as
sist in defraying the expenses incurred in
securing counsel, Witnesses etc, and to
this end a petition is being circulated
among the members of the police force, as
follows:
Brother officers: AS you are all aware,
Mounted Officer Adwin w. Green of the
fifth precinct accidentally shot and killed
Reuben Foster of Hillsdale while main
tanning an arrest for felony on the 4th OF
March, 1885.
"Offlcer Green has been at heavy expense
securing counsel, witnesses etc. The most
important Witness race track Jockey, had
left the District, and it required several
days of energetic work and considerable
expense to locate and secure him
''In view of the above facts the members
of the department are respectfully asked
to donate a small amount, as we regard
this a matter that appeals to us ALL"
The statements in this petition represent
the officers side of the case and 1t is stated
jury was the reason why the charge was
ignored. The jockey referred to, it is said,
gave the evidence which settled the mat
ter before the grand jury
It is claimed that he figured in the fight
the night previous to the arrest and shoot
ing of Foster. The men were engaged in
game OF crap. SO 1T is stated, and when
1t is said resulted in Fosters attacking the
Jockey and robbing him. \,
This made the offense flaony instead Of
a misdemeanor. SO 1t is cliimed, and JUS
titled the arrest, which theloficf was re-
Quired to maintain. 4
Under this condition of affairs the police,
1t IS said, regard Green's }onduct as JUS
clined to assist him in de&fayins the ex-
penses incurred in defending the case.

JAPAN AND CHINA.
Peace Negotiations Will BE Conducted
Mt SfmOnOseki Instead of Hiroshi nm

Mt SimOnOseki Instead of Hiroshima,
The japanese legation mas received a
cable message confirming the press dis
patches of the departure of Ii Hung Chang
from Tien Tsin for Japan to arrange terms
of peace. The peace negotiations will be
conducted at Simonoseki instead of Hiros-
hima, as originally announced. The change
has been made to accommodate Ii Hung
Chang, who is on a Chinese vessel, and If
the negotiations were held at Hiroshima
would be compelled to transfer to a Japa-
nese ship. Simonoseki is on the extreme
southwestern coast of Japan, and it was
here that in the early sixties the foreign
powers forced Japan to assent 10 certain
indemnities demanded of the empire.
No Details Yet Arranged.
1t is stated at the legation that asser-
tions that the peace negotiations have been
arranged already, and that the whole affair
is cut and dried. ere erroneous, and that
all statements as to details of the terms
of peace are guesses.
None of the details, it is said, have been
settled and will not be until the negotia-
tions are in progress. Japan has been in
formed that Lii Hung Chang has full DOW
er to arrange terms of peace and has been
assured China sincerely desires that the
war be stopped by treaty agreement The
details as to the price China shall pay
have not been defiritely arranged, neither
as to the exact cession of territory nor the
amount of the indemnity or the kind of
money in which 1t shall be paid. Japan
has reached certain conclusions, especially
respecting the cession of territory, but no
conclusion has been reached with China.
Lii Hung Sails for Japan.
Minister DENLY has cabled the State De-
partment confirming the press report of
the departure of Ii Hung Chang from
Shanghai for Japan. He says the viceroy
sailed in royal state, with a suite of I3O
persons, embarked on two steamships

NOT A NEW INDUSTRY.
Assistant Secretary IIamlin's Decfsfon
to Alien Diamond Cutters

Acting Secretary Hamlin today rendered
a decision in an interesting labor ques ton
that has been pending before the Treasury
Department for several weeks. The alien
labor contract law excepts from its pro-
visions foreign laborers who may come to
this country under contract to engage in
a new industry in the United States"
The question at issue was, whether "dia-
mond cutting" should be considered a
new industry" within the meaning of the
law, and consequently whether alien dia-
mond cutters were exempt from the pro-
hibition against the importation of alien
laborers brought here under contract
Mr.. Hamlin has decided that diamond cut
ting Is not a new industry in the United
States. and consequently persons engaged in
1t who import foreign labor under contract
do SO in violation of the alien labor con-
tract law Instructions will accordingly be
issued to prohibit the landing of such Ia
borers in the future and to send back
those who have already arrived.

ROCK CREEKS RUIN
Gen. Boynton Of the Park Commission Ex-
presses Vigorous ViewA
The Remington Plan vgauIA Change
the Stream to nm Open and
Stagnant Sewer.

The proposition of the people of Kensing-
ton to empty their proposed sewerage sys-
tenn into Rock creek has aroused storm
of opposition among those who are inter-
ested in preserving that stream from pol
luton and in the Improvement of Rock
Creek Park. The members of the Rock
creek commission art. taking a keen inter-
est In the matter, feeling themselves di-
rectly concerned.
"A greater outrage could not be perpe-
trated than the carrying out Of this plan,'
said Gen. H. V. Boynton, member of the
Rock creek commission, to a Star reporter
today. 1T would be an outrage upon the
people of this city and upon the govern
ment. which has expended $1,2O0,OOO upon
this park. To convert the upper portion of
Rock creek into an open sewer would mean
the destruction of the park.
THE Eock creek commission took the
trouble to obtain land on both sides of the
creek opt to the District line. This was
done for two purposes; chiefly, however, to
preserve the stream from pollution by
sewerage from improvements along its
banks. Another purpose was to obtain
ground in the loWlandS for the conStruc-
ton of series of lakes. If l remember
right, it was estimated that We could get
one mile of lakes by simple system of
dams. 1t will be utterly impossible to carry
out this plan if the creek is converted into
a sewer for kensington. think that means

JUDGE HARDEsTY OBJECTS.
His Fee in the Robinson Murder Case
Was Not Paid.

His Fee in the Robinson Murder Case
Was Not Paid.
BUFFALO, N. Y, March 16.-When court
opened today Judge Hardesty stated that
as his fee was not Forthcoming he desired
to withdraw from his connection as coun-
sci for the Robinsons, accused of the mur-
der of Montgomery Gibbs.
The court said: MIR. Hardesty, the court
cannot permit you to retire from the de-
fense at this time. The court will assign
you to the defense fte ~
The two defendants looked more cheerful
when they took their seats, and Sadie Rob-
inson, particularly, acted as if her opper-
tunity to talk yesterday had done her q
world Of good. %itpoi
Before Assistant Superintendent Cusack
had left the stand last evening he had said
that Mrs. Robinson's statement to him on
the train en- route from Cleveland had been
heard by two reputable citizens of Buffalo,
H. NJ. Gerrans of the Hotel Iroquis and
Arthur D. Bissell, ex-collector of this port.
The latter was called to the witness box
today, and identified the woman defendant
as the prisoner he saw with Mr.. Cusack on
the train. He testified that he overheard
much Of the conversation between them
relative to the crime, and that Mr.. Cusack
made no threats and promised no immun-
ity to the woman to induce her to talk.
Said Mr.. Bissell: "The young woman SEEM
ed anxious to talk. She told how she and
neF nuSDdnO started out TO ROB somebody,
and how they tackled Gibbs and shot him,
She said, His groans were awful, and we
ran away"
Mr.. Gerrans followed Mr.. Bissell He
identified Mrs. Robinson as Cusack's pris-
oner on the train said she talked continu-
ously, despite Mr.. Cusack's efforts to keep
her quiet; Mr.. Cusack said nothing to her
about getting revenge on her husband, or
in suggestion to her as to what she was
to say in her confession; he said very lit
tie.
Cross-examination failed to shake the
stories of either Mr.. Bissell or Mr.. Ger
rams in any particular.
Stenographer Denny of police headquar-
ters swore to the written confession as
Sadie Robinson's statement.
Clerk Bilse also swore to seeing Mrs.
Robinson sign her confession and identified
the paper and her signature. He said she
read it over carefully and made some cor
rections in lead pencil.
Court was adjourned until Monday morn,

CAPT. sHEPARD,s FUNERAL.

Caused by His Death.

Services Over the emafnSAChRnges
Caused by His Death.
The funeral services over the remains of
the late Capt. L. G. Shepard, chief of the
revenue cutter service of the Treasury De-
partment, were held this afternoon at the
Church of the Covenant. There was
large attendance of the social and official
friends of the deceased, and the treasury
was represented by many of its leading
men, Chief McLennan Of the warrant d.
vision, Chief Comstock of the customs,
Chief Kimball of the life-saving service
and Chief Roads Of the stationery division
acting as pallbearerS on behalf of the de-
partment. After the conclusion of the
services the body was taken to Dorchester,
Mass, where it will be buried in the old
Shepard family lot.
Changes That VIII Result.
The death of Capt. Shepard will result
in the following promotions In the revenue
cutter service: First Lieut.. C. F. Shoe
maker. commanding the Hudson, at New
York. TO be captain; Second Lieut.. c. B.
Fengar, attached to the Boutwell,, at Savan-
nah. to be first lieutenant; Third Lieut.. c.
M White, attached to the Bear, at San
Francisco to be second lieutenant, and will
increase the number of vacancies in the
list of third lieutenants to six, to be filled
by selections from the list of cadets. Under
the law, Capt. Shepard's successor as chief
of the revenue cutter division of the Treas
ury Department must be captain of that
service. The selection rests with Secretary
Carlisle, and will probably be made In
short time.

of the Outlook.

BROOKLYN,N.Y., March 16.-The utmost
interest was expressed by officers at the
Brooklyn navy yard today in Secretary
Greshams demand upon Spain to explain
the firing on the Alliance. Preparations
are being made to respond to any orders
that may come from Washington to have
the few ships now at the navy yard ready
for sea n case they are wanted
1t Is the general opinion, however, among
the officers in Brooklyn that If any vessels
are called upon to patrol the Cuban coast
they will be taken from Admiral Meades
squadron, now in the West Indies.
The Maine is about the only warshfp now
at the navy yard which could be made
ready for sea on short time. The battie--
ships Puritan and Terror are still in course
of construction. The Vesuvius left the
navy yard several days ago to blow up dere-
lictS in the sound.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
HELENA, April 2.-The state board OF
examiners commenced to-day the work of
cutting down the amounts appropriated
by the last legislature for state institu-
tions. Tho legislature appropriated about
SlOO. 900 more than tho revenues of tho
state this year. This will necessitate n
great reduction in the expenses of the
state. The board to-day considered only
this years appropriations. The legislature
appropriated 5000 for this years work
on the agricultural college and this was
cut off entirely. The $4,000 appropriated
for the eastern state PRISON was also cut
off and the board decided TO discontinue
work on this institution this year. The
appropriation of $4,000 for the state
university was reduced TO $500 and the
deaf and dumb school was cut from Sl5.'
900 TO 5000, which, it is thought, IS
enough to pay operating expenses for the
present year.
The board is not through with the work
and will begin tomorrow to slash other
appropriations until the necessary reduc'
ton is reached.
The state treasurer received three bids
for the agricultural bonds. which were ad-
veriised TO be sold to-day, and they will be
opened to-day.

neither he nor Senor Arriga, Guatemalan
minister. is yet in position to make pub
lie the exact terms on which war Is
averted.
President Diaz has announced tho terms
will be communicated to congress later.
The peace agreement is regarded as oil
far reaching importance to Central Amer :
lean states, which expected for the last six
months to be plunged into bloody strug-
gle. The Mexican army and navy have
been preparing for n conflict and calcula-
tions have been made as to where troops
shall be landed in Guatemala. The Mex
lean army numbers 81 s33, on peace
footing, with les. 900 available on a war
footing. The Guatemalan army numbers
1900 on a peace footing. The agreement
now effected puts an end to active war
preparations.
WASHINGTON, April 2.-Scnor Arriga,
the Guatemalan minister, does not know
yet the details of the arrangements signed
yesterday between his country and Mex
leo, but he has received from the Guate-
malan minister in that city the following

ST. LOUIS, April 2.-In the saloon OF
Louis Celia, about noon to-day, George
w. Thorn, n watchman employed at the
Madison race track, was fatally shot by
c. A. Day. Thorn was in Cella's saloon
with some friends, when Day entered.
Immediately after the shooting began.
Day and Thorn each fired several shots.
Two bullets from Days pistol entered
Thorn's left breast and shoulder and he
fell to the floor. Day ran out the front
door and went to Sickle's Saddlery COM
pany's place, across the street, where he
stood behind the stone facing of the door.
A crowd of Thorn's friends followed
and many pistols were drawn. Day be-
gan shooting and emptied his revolver.
but without result. Day then retreated
into Sickle's store, and running up stairs,
secreted himself until Officers Sullens and
Ward arrived and arrested him. Thomas
Taffe, who was very drunk, said Day en-
tered the saloon drunk, looking for
trouble He stood by a post TO steady
himself. and then, without provocation,
fired point blank at Thorn and ran out of
the saloon.
The following was said to be the story
of the other side: This morning Day
went to the four courts to swear out a war
rant against William Ward for fraudulent
voting. The warrant was gwen Deputy
| Sheriff Hupper. Day went with him to
| identify the man wanted. Ward was In
Cella's saloon with Thorn and several
others. When Day and the officer arrived
the crowd jumped on Day, who fired in
self defense. Thorn, who has n wife and
three children, is -. .yeaHs.old and has hae
n reputation of being a desperate mar
when drunk. Day is rather a fine looking
young fellow of perhaps % years. He
seemed perfectly sober when arrested.

Party Line. Sot Drawn.

OMAHA, April 2.-Specials to the Bee
from all parts of the state on the munici-
pal election show that party lines have
not been drawn in municipal elections in
Nebraska in many cases, but when they
were the republicans won, except at Hast
ings aud Plattsmouth, where the demo-
Gratis carried the day. The question OF
granting saloon licenses was the leading
issue and was favored in four-flfths of the
towns. Frank Graham, republican, was
elected mayor of Lincoln by large ma
jority. The vote was heavy, with no
striking features. The populsis showed
no strength where they had tickets up.
