THE SPY SYSTEM.
Congress Will Investigate, the Employ.
ment of Postal Spotters.

WASHINGTON, Dec: 12.. - 1t is de-
clared that the first investigation by
Congresswill be directed against First
Assistant Postmaster General Jones
for his system of spoilers of letter carr
riers and others in the postal service.
Much evidence had been collected by
the three men dismissed last SATURDAY.
by the Postmaster General for con-
spring to bring about an investiga-
ton.
The spies were under the direction
of w. M. .Bellman, who was recently
a dealer in garden seeds at Toledo.
Ohio, and A. w. MacheD, superintend-
ent Of the free delivery service, who
comes from the same city. AS there
is no appropriation from which they
can properly be paid, they have APP
peared upon the pay rolls as letter car
riers, clerks, engineers, mechanics etc. /,
and have been charged to various post
offices throughout the country which
had liberal allowancesand could spare
a portion for such purpose Mr..
Machen, superintendent of the free
delivery service, has two. brothers
among the spies, one of whom is said
to be 20 and the other. % years old.
Both of them lived in Toledo until
they were brought into this business,
but the pay Of one is deducted from
the allowance given the postmaster at
Brooklyn, while the other is charged
to the Washington Office. There are
said to be number of brothers, sons,
uncles and cousins of prominent post
office officials in the list.

HALL TO BE CHANGED.
st. Louis Must Make improvements for

committee appointed tO take charge.

Ican national conven tion, met r. &.
Kerens and Mr.. Thompson, represents
ing st. Louis, this morning. The
committee agreed that the seating ar
rangements Of the st. Louis, EXPOSE
tion building needed remodeling, and
it was decided to have the rostrl1n,
now at one end of the hall, placed
midway and at one side with the seats
OF delegates arranged accordingly.
The alterations will probably cost
SIS, ,O0O.
The question Of alloting tickets
brought out much animated discus
sion. The exposition building accom-
modates $4,000 people and these limits
are expected to be severely taxed. It
is understood that an understanding
was reached that the st. Louis local
committee would not control more
than 1900 tickets, and of these 100
should go to veterans and 500 to dis
tinguished guests. The national COM
nittee, it is understood, will control
the rest Of the tickets, as well as re-
tanning supervisory authority over
the st Louis share.
The subcommittee adjourned to
meet in st. Louis the latter part of
January, the date to be announced
hereafter. The members will persons
ally inspect the hall and all other fea-
lures of the convention.

HEARNE'S TRIAL BEGUN.
Only Legal 0uibbIing Delays the Giving 81
Evidence.

Only Legal 0uibbIing Delays the Giving Of
Evidence.
Bovine GREEN, Mo-, Dec. II. 1t
was 10 O'clock when the twelve men
who are to decide the fate of Dr..
Hearne We're sworn in and took their
seats in the jury box. A Asparring con-!
test between the lawyers, which lasted
till 1880 o'clock, followed. Nat Dry
den arose and demanded that before
the taking of evidence should begin
the State should furnish list OF the
| witnesses it intended to put on the
stand. The lawyers for the State op-
posed this vigorously and at 1850
court was adjourned for two hours to
give the lawyers time to settle it be-
tween themselves if possible.
When court met after lu ncheon, H.
Clay Heather, prosecuting attorney Of
Marion county, said that rather than
| jeopardize the states case by leaving
any possible opening for q reversal BY
the supreme court, he had prepared q
list OF all the witnesses who had been
subpoenaed by the court. The list was
handed to the lawyers for the defense.
ii. Clay Heather then read TO the
jury the indictment against DIR.
L
with having murdered Amos j. Still
well, December 90, 1889. While it was
being read Mrs. Hearne and her two
stepdaughters entered and there was
hustle among the women in the au-
dience, who turned and watched them
till they had sat down.
Mr.. Heather next made the opening
statement to the jury. He said that
| 1t would be necessary for the State, in
order to secure conviction under the
Indictment, to prove first, that Amos
j. Stillwell was murdered, and then
that DR.. Hearne was his murderer.
,The State would rely wholly. on Cir
cumstantial evidence.
AL of the love affairs. of Mrs. Hearne
will be fully told at this trial. One of
the lawyers for the State has q big
bundle of her letters, which will be
read as evidence. Her petition for di-
vorce, which was filed in California in
1894, will be in evidence. She was
divorced from. DR.: Hearne August 10
and they were, remarried September
y, 1894. The petition laid bare the
domestic infelicity Of the two She
said in it that he never gave hers a dol
lar. but lived on her money; that he
beat her cruelty and threatened to kill
her; that he tore her clothes off, cursed
her habitually, wished her dead and
Gagged her in room for hours at a
time.
The lawyers fer the.defense say that
they are certain ofacquittal. There's
likely to be someone hanged that you
fellows little suspect before this thing
is over, said Nat Dryden last night.

Gold ON a Timber Reservation.

DENVER, Colo, Dec. l2.-It has been
discovered that almost nine-tenths of
the West Creek district, one of the new
gold fields, is United States timber
reservation, and persons working
there are liable to imprisonment for
trespass. Congress will be asked to
pass a law cutting off the mineralized
portion of the reservation. Until this
is done no one can acquire a title to
the mineral lands outside of two or
three patented homesteads.

2 PORTO RICO REV OTIS.
LAST OF sPAlNs'ss AMERI-
CAN POSSESSIONS.
e ltion of independence Prepared
ande djhs Laid for a Revolution Cuban
ms u tent Forces Combining for Decis-
se with Compos.

New YORK, Dec 10. According to
late reports, the Island of Porto Rico
has gone so far as to issue a declara-
ton of independence, and will soon
join Cuba in the active struggle for
liberty. An army is being formed by
the Separatist party of Porto Rico, and
as soon as the leaders are ready the
new campaign will open.
In starting this new revolution in
Porto Rico, the leaders are fully car
rying out the original plans of Gen
eral Jose Marti, the late leader of the
Cuban revolution, which were first to
get the Cuban insurrection we'll under
way, and then to encourage, or rather
create, a similar uprising in Porto
Rico.
There were to be two separate revo-
lutions, the army of each of the two
provinces acting Independently, as far
as possible, but necessarily in con-
Junction when crisis was reached,
but each striving for the same object
the defeat of Spain. If a victory
should be won it was arranged that
the sister islands should form entirely
separate governments, the republic
OF Cuba and the republic. of Porto
Rico. In formulating this plan Gen
eral Marti consulted prominent Porto
Ricans who are now in this city, one
OF whom corroborated the above
statement last night. These men are
among those who are arranging tile
present proposed coup. Cuba's cause
and Porto Rico's cause are, they say,
Identical.
HAVANA, Dec. 12.-According to
trustworthy information the insur-
gents have been making rapid progress
through the province of Santa Clara
since the defeat of Colonels Fugara and
Eugerrio. The forces commanded by
Gomez, Maceo, Roloff, Sanchez, Car
rilli Guerra, Diaz and other insur-
gent leaders have united and are now
encamped at Vajaca, about fifteen
miles from Placetas, an important
town on the road to Santa Clara, and
point of great strategic value in it's
relation to the seaport of sCaiberen.
From the fact that so many of the in
surgent leaders have concentrated
their forces, it is believed that Gomez
and Maceo have determined. to risk a
pitched battle with the Spanish. The
concentration, however, is exactly
what General Campos is said to have
been praying for, and with the COM
ang of the reinforcements from Spain
it now seems certain that he will be
able to strike decisive blow.

A / MuRDERER,s END.
Harry Hayward Hanged-Laughed and
Joked to the Last Minute.

Joked to the Last Minute.
MINNEAPoLIs, MINI, Dec. 12.-Hay-
ward was hanged at 2:O5 O'clock this
morning. He made statement of five
minutes duration, and while not MAX
ing a confession, said he hoped God,
would forgive him for all the harm he
had ever done. Before dark last night
morbid crowds had assembled in the
vicinity of the Jail. There was moth
ing to see except the gray walls, and
the occasional opening Of the heavy
doors to admit some officials, yet they
fingered in the vicinity, waiting for
throng numbered several hundred.
The murderer went to the gallows
with a laugh on his lips and went
down with the trap just as he uttered
the words lightly: ''Let her go. Me-
garden" The command was directed
to the chief deputy. Prior to the ex-
ecution the condemned man main
tanned the nerve which has made him
famous. He took his last supper
shortly after l o'clock and was sur
rounded by the deputies and the death
watches Just before the death war
rant was read Hayward turned to his
brother, DR.. Thaddeus Hayward, and
said: ''You know [ am a great be-
lever in spiritualism. If 1 get safely
on the other side [ will send mes.
sage to you.
At o'clock Hayward listened to the
reading Of the warrant Soon after
Sheriff Holmberg entered and the
condemned man said earnestly: II
want to ask you a last favor. Please
let me pull the trap. 1t will save you
lifelong anxiety and will give me
eternal satisfaction" The sheriff re-
piled: 81 cannot do it, Harry. /
know my duty"
On the scaffold Harry made an ex-
tended statement. He said that to
please the several pastors who had
called upon him he would say: ':God
forgive me for what I have DONE; .
This is looked upon as confession.
The trap fell at 2:lO and the wonder
full vitality of the man was shown by
the fact that he lived for several mo-
ments after the trap fell. His neck
was broken
Hayward's swell dinner, the 'slas t
supper as he profanely expressed it
was served according to his. desire
| shortly after 10 o'clock, and he par
took of it with apparent relish. Rev.
Father Timothy arrived shortly after
not upon the summons of the con-
/ demned man, but in case that at the
last moment desire shonld be ex-
pressed by the hitherto nnrepentant
1 man for spiritual adviser.
During the evening Hayward laughed
and .joked on his approaching ex.
ecucion. AS Captain Sandberg was
covering the windows of the jail
looking into the alley, Harry noticed
him, and shouted:ss That's right
block out the gaping crowd
There will be visitors after !
o'clock in the morning. People wish
ing to see me will have to call at the
morgue, as l intend to change my
quarters . and he laughed as he SAID
it. To the newspaper men he said
81 would like to see the account OF
how this thing came out and about
my actions on the scaffold, . and agar
he laughed as if he were going to 3
picnic instead Of to his death.

A Kansas City Packers views.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 1.-THE
dispatch was shown to j. w. Reed, of
Armour's packing house in this city,
and he said: ''This action by the
French chamber is nothing more than
a further carrying out of the policy
held by the French government for
%s..,me time, the exclusion of all Amer
,s0g and other packing products.
~sls, Products are admitted now only
because of microscopic inspection.
France is decidedly unfriendly to
American packing interests, but the
exclusion of American timed meats
from the army will not be very
serious blow. The trade has been con-
siderable, it is true, but not of such
proportions as many may think"
Mr.. Reed did not know the exact
amount of timed meat consumed by
the French army in a year, but thought
that it might approach 10000, 900 or
IL, 900, 900 pounds.
ssThe whole thing narrows itself
down to a question of home industry,
and think there is Madagascar end
to it. France has much capital in
vested IN Madagascar, where some
packing is done, and has other points
which do packing which it is, undoubt-
edly, desirous of encouraging.
''Outside of the army America sends
comparatively little timed meat, as
the taste of the French people does
not seem to run along that line. This
trade, anyway, is not affected by the
action of the Chamber, nor is the nor
NAL trade in lard, hams, bacon, etc.
The contract price for timed meats
for the French army has been five and
six cents pound"
Mr.. Reed could not say whether the
packers would make a fight on the
Chambers action through the Amer
ican ambassador to France.
