a letter In the Journal OF the Hunsani

cruelty which is practiced on animals In

LAMBERT IS HANGED.
New jersey Criminal Pays the Pen
atty for Murder-Denied
His Guilt.

Philadelphia, Pa, Dec. 19.-Theodore
Lambert, colored. was hanged in the
Camden county jail. He arose early,
and, after carefully arranging his toilet,
ate a hearty breakfast and had his hair
cut. He carefully tied several curls in
paper and asked to have them sent to
friends. When Lambert reached the
steps leading to the scaffold he faltered
and had to be assisted by the sheriff.
He declared his innocence to the last.
On December f. 1893, Lambert and
another negro entered the home of Baker
William Kairer for the purpose of rob
berry They were discovered in the house
and Lambert shot at and killed Kairer
in his efforts to escape. They paWned
their booty in Philadelphia. The crime
batfied the police for weeks, but about
two months after the murder, Lambert,
Josiah Stevens and George Greenleaf,
three desperate characters, well known
TO the police as robbers and sandbaggers,
were arrested on suspicion. When con-
fronted with the evidence Stevens broke
down and confessed that Lambert fired
the shot that killed Baker Kairer. Short
ly after his arrest Lambert sent for
Prosecutor Jenkins, to whom he said
that Stevens was with him when kair-
er's house was entered and that Stevens
was the man who fired the shot that
caused the murder. Both were indicted
and each employed separate counsel.
Lambert was tried on June Ii and con-
victed on June 10. Stevens gave testi-
mony against him. and was afterwards
tried and acquitted.

arrivals, were arrested on the 9th,
charged with conspiring to overthrow
the government and the republic of Ha-
wall. The authorities claim these men
came 70 Hawaii for that purpose; that
they have conspired between themselves
and others to overthrow the government.
The conspiracy was effected partly at
San Francisco and partly here. They
were leaders of movement to be organ
lied but which really had gained no
Roadway. They were laying plans for
an uprising of a character that would
have proved serious. There was coast
help, but the bulk of the force was to
be local.
Several local parties are named as be-
ing active in the conspiracy with the
two flibusteIers. The duty of one was
to have the guns at military headquar-
ters made useless. This was to be ac
complished through personal friends of
the soldiery. Underwood and Sheridan
were to be generals of the army and 9TH
er persons were named as under-officers.
No others will be arrested i'll the matter.
1t has been decided to punish only the
ringleaders. Underwood is said to be

WIMAN Is FREE.
New York Court of Appeals Decides
in Favor of the "Duke" Of
Staten Island.

Albany, N. Y, Dee. 19.--The court Of
appeals has decided to sustain the judg-
ment of the general term, reversing the
conviction of Erastus Wiman for forg-
cry. Wiman is free man.
Mr.. Wiman was born in Canada about
sixty years ago. He was first employed
in the composing room of the Toronto
Globe, and afterWard became the market
reporter of the paper. In 1861 he en-
tered the Toronto agency of Dun & Co.
He proved himself SO apt that he was
soon promoted to be manager and then
was brought to the home office in this
city. The business grew at a marvellous
rate, and his income, it was estimated,
gradually increased until it reached 500,
600 or 100000 a year. Intensely ambl
tious to earn fame and fortune Mr.. Wi
man early went into enterprises that
made him a conspicuous figure i'll the
metropolis. He retained his Canadian
citizenship and was the founder of a
couple of big telegraph lines in Canada,
a director in the Western Union Tele~
graph company, and connected with
scores of other enterprises. Mr.. Wima"
came to be known as the Duke of :
en- Island because of the great am
of property he controlled there. Aft
time it became known he was trcau
on thin financial ice and his power WAS
soon on the wane The amount involved
in his final failure has never been deh-
nitely settled being estimated all sthe
way from S750OO0 to 81 100000

Iayed the message or the Venezuelan ques-
tion?' There was a round of laughter and
applause from the Republican side of the
table, proceeded Mr.. Crisp. 1T lies there
unheeded by this House. And yet it is a
frank, honest and manly support of the
Monroe doctrine" Both sides Joined in the
applause at the mention of Monroe doc
trine.
The session of the House did not last an
hour on the 18th. but it sufficed for the
passage of a bill authorizing the President
to appoint commission to investigate the
Venezuelan boundary and appropriating
500, 600 for the expenses Of the commission.
The bill which carried into effect the rte
OmmendatiOn Of the Presidents message
was prepared by Mr.. Hit REP, ND this
morning, and met the approval Of Speaker
Reed. Although several Republican leaders
expressed themselves, in conversation, as
favoring the reference of the message to
the committee on foreign affairs for re-
port, Mr.. Boutelle of Maine was the only
one who voiced the view on the floor.
Speeches for the bill were made by Mr.
Hit and Mr.. Crisp, and attempts made
by other members who could not secure
recognition. There was no vote against it
and considerable applause was given to the
patriotic references in the speeches. The
House decided to have its holiday recess
extend from the Goth to January 3, vaca-
ton of two weeks. There will be but one
more session before the holidays, that on
the Goth, when Speaker Reed will probably
defy superstition and announce House
committees

VENEZUELA REJOICES.
People at Caracas Enthuse Over
President Cleveland's
Message.

New York Dec. ia dispatch to the
World from Caracas, Venezuela. says:
'"The news of the Cleveland message I'M
compromisingly upholding Venezuela and
the Monroe doctrine, created the wild
est JOY and enthusiasm in this capital.
1t has produced new confidence in the
future of the country and acts like magic
on the business activity and enterprise.
The Venezuelan foreign Office declares
that it will sustain the dignity and SOW
ereignty of the republic by force if neces-
sary. One hundred and fifty thousand
soldiers can be put into the field. The
government declines to speak officially
in regard to the Uruan incident, but the
World correspondent is assured that it
will refuse to concede the indemnity of
100000 recently demanded by Great
Britain.
1T is reported that English warships
are on their way here. The arrival of
the American naval squadron is anxious
ly awaited.
1.-THE Venezuelan press calls upon the
people to show their patriotism on this
great occasion and their gratitude to-
wards the noble republic of the North.
The press also urged upon the people the
duty of preparing at once for war with
all their energy. Special editions were
issued by the newspapers in the evening
reiterating the expression of the popular
feeling of gratitude that there was at
last to be a union of political sentiment
between North and South America pro-
ductive of benefcient results"

BEGIN TO TAKE 1T SERIOUSLY.
Congress- Prompt Action Opens the
RritisherS' Eyes.


London, Dec. 19-In commenting to-
day upon the Venezuelan question the
newspapers generally agree that the sit
uation is much more serious than they
though it to be yesterday. In the public
mind, also, there is a general feeling of
disappointment at the action of Congress.
in supporting the stand taken by Presi-
dent Cleveland in his message to that
body.
The stock exchange here and the ex-
changes throughout the country continue
under the influence of the difficulty
which has arisen between Great Britain
and the United States At the same
clined A. foreign funds were weak and
American and Canadian stocks were
lower on continued selling.
The Pail Mall Gazette's money article
says: "Of course, whatever happens,
America will lose credit over the affair.
It is particularly inopportune when many
of her railways need money
The afternoon newspapers all contain
long editorial articles on the Venezuelan
question, the general tenor of their ut
teranees being the same. as yesterday,
though all agree that the matter is be-
coming much graver.
The Globe. a high Conservative organ,
and newspaper which may be supposed
to be on terms of intimacy with the
government, gives warning that Great
Britain will remain firm, saying: "Presi-
dent Cleveland may appoint 4 dozen COM
missions, but England will remain firm
in her refusal to recognize them and
jurisdiction of this sort. This is our I'M
alterable position, be the consequences
what they may. We will never submit
to such unparalleled dictation."
The Globe is also irate at the recent
utterances Of DR.. Chauncey M. Depew,
especially his references to the easy
oh ha Init tat
conquer Canada, remarking: THE over
whelming naval strength OF England
would enable her to pour troops into
Canada at any sign. of danger, and small
warships could be sent to the lakes and
Chicago, Detroit and Buffalo would be
utterly at their mercy"
The st. James Gazette says that the
Britishers We're much disappointed on
reading the American kilograms today
and express the fear that the Americans
will not read the diplomatic correspond
ence or see that Lord Salisbury is right.
adding: 1--WE think that the American
press with its customary enterprise has
given it's readers everything but the
essential facts, and the tendency of the
moment is to believe that President
Cleveland has made a spirited effort
to uphold his country's honor. The
Americans, if sensible, are also senti-
mental and would fight with all the
fierce energy of their race for principle.
We know it and respect them for it.
What is inconceivab1e is that they can
imagine there is any occasion for resent
ment. Let them read the dispatches.
The Pail Mall Gazette among other
things says: "For the present it is
enough that the foremost jurists of
America unanimously condemn the Oh
ney doctrine while, but one single con-
tinental journal of repute sustains Pres
ident Cleveland"

Minister Terrell Teiegraphs Regarding
Marsovan.
Constantinople. Dec 1S.-Replying to
a telegraphic message from the United
States, Minister Terrell teiegraphed yes
terday that the missionaries at Marso-
van were all safe and guarded by troops.
A letter dated December has been re-
ceived here from an American missionary
at Caesarea, giving narrowing details of
the horrors of the previous three days.
The writer says that the Turks swarmed
through the streets and into the houses,
stoning, clubbing and killing every Ar
menian within reach. The American
mission, however, was not harmed, evil
IDENTIFY owing to orders issued by the
Turkish officials. But. the missionary
continues, the barbarity practiced passes
all description Men and women were
literally hacked to pieces and 1000 per-
sons were killed on the afternoon of No
vember 30.
The missionary also says that the
Turkish soldiers confessed that the gov
eminent gave them permission to pillage.
The boys of the American school are all
safe, the letter concludes, and 100 fugi-
tives are being sheltered in the mission
buildings, but the safety of the mission
aries depends upon the presence of the
troops who are guarding them.

FOR CLOSER UNION.
Proposed Conference Between
North and South American
Republics.

Washington, D. c., Dec. ia meet
ing at the state department today be-
tween Secretary Olney and the ministers
to the United States of Venezuela, Next
co and Brazil is understood to have in
volved important considerations affect
ing our South and Central American ne
lations. Although the matter has not
yet taken definite official FORM there is
reason to believe that all of the republics
of South and Central America will COM
munieate officially to the United States
their hearty approval of the enunciation
of the Monroe doctrine made by the
President and Mr.. Olney.
1t is understood also that serious con-
sideration is being given by the South
and Central American diplomats to an
international convention to be attended
by all of the republics of North and
South America, somewhat similar to the
pan-American conference, but with
view to political rather than commercial
alliance on the general lines of the Mon
roe doctrine.
