Paul penitentiary, died yesterday. 1t

revolt eight years ago at the peniten-

was captured by convicts in the yard
and used as a shield while they made
an attack on the wall The guard natur-
ally feared to fred, but Laviolette or
dered them to do their duty with the
result that he received four bullets

Cleveland Thinks Walcott's Resolution Is
Invalid and May Not Appoint the Com
missioners.
CHICAGO, March 27-A special to the
Daily News from Washington says:
The subject of foreign relations occu-
pied only small part of the atten ton
of the president and his abinet yester-
day. The chief subject discussed at the
regular cabinet meeting was the valid
ity of the law creating the monetary
commission. The fact that the attor-
ney-general was absent, engaged in
the Debs case in the supreme court, de-
tracted somewhat from the interest of
the discussion. The president is in
clined to the opinion that the Wolcott
resolution was invalid and there is
strong probability that he may
refuse to appoint the three com
missioners authorized by the last con-
gress. No conclusion was reached on
the subject. It is said that Judge Gull
bertson, of Texas, one of the commits
sioners selected by the house of repre-
sentatives, and free silver advocate,
comedies with the presidents views.

ADDITIONAL PROOF.
A Book Written Establishing Mrs. Sur
rats Innocence.

rats Innocence.
KINGSTON, n. Y, March 27.-David
n. Dewitt of this city, author of the
book recently published at Baltimore en-
titled 'sThe Judicial Murder of Mary E.
Surrate," had his attention called to the
dispatch sent from Chicago few days
ago regarding the destruction of the
proofs of the innocence of Mrs. Surratt
by the burning Of the house of John w.
Clampitt, her former counsel, and the
statement of Mr.. Clampitt as to Father
Walters story.
Mr.. Dewitt said that 1t would be diff
cult to destroy the proofs of Mrs. Sur
rats innocence as embodied in his book,
which, however, is a demonstration
rather of the want of proof of her guilt.
In gathering the facts for his book, Mr.
Dewitt continued, he had occasion to
visit Washington in the spring of 1898,
and while there called on Father Walter.
HE related to me-" Mr. Dewitt added,
tEthe same colloquy Mr.. Clampitt now
gives between himself and the poor
woman, but the colloquy took place in
the cell of the condemned woman just
before she was taken to the scat
fold and not on the scaffold itself.
She wished to state to the soldiers who
had come to conduct her to her death,
that she was innocent, and in their pres
ence and hearing, asked her priest to be
allowed to do SO, when he replied: mo,
my child, the world and all that is in it
has now receded forever. 1t would do
no good aud it might disturb the serenity
of your last moments. But Father Wal
ter in his interview with me went no
further He intimated nothing to the
effect of any such condition being at
tached to his presence with the con-
demned woman, as Mr.. Clampitt now
says he stated to him.

Light on q vexed ouestion.

"Apropos of the peculiarly American
tendency to explain things" he was
saying, there occurs to my mind the
attempt sometimes made to account for
the derivation of the compound term
Welsh rabbit. regret to notice that
Webster falls into the common error of
considering the word rabbit a corrup-
ton of rarebit. Now, as shown by lexi-
cographers who have had the advantage
of a technical acquaintance with facts
relating to the origin of the word,
Welsh rabbit is merely slang term,
and not corruption at all. 1t never
was anything but Welsh rabbit, and in
its genesis it was essentially slang
term, yet by reason of its long habitude
in the language it has lost or outgrown
what might be called the coarseness of
its origin and is now entitled to place
in the accepted vocabulary without any
apology or fancifhl explanation. In proof
Of this 1 may cite other examples, not
