PnE-OrIs. Arrii 2S Tho trial was r,
sumed of the members OF tha national rc
form committee OF Johannesburg. .Iohf
Hays Hammond, the American nir.nt
engineer pleaded guilty Of high treason.
following the example OF tho other lead
ers Of tho reform committee Mr.. Ham
mond was prevented by Illness from beina
present at tho timo the other leaders made
their plea.
In view OF tho plea OF guilty entered by
the defendants ia the trial of the nationa
reform committee Of Johannesburg foi
completely in the Jameson raid, there waf
nothing in the way Of cross examination
TO olicit testimony on the question o.. the
ultimate responsibility for that III starred
movement. But counsel for the defense
read q statement which was signed by
Messrs. John Hays Hammond, Lionol
Phillips, Goorgre Farrar and Colonel
Francis Rhodes the leaders OF tho reform
committee, who have pleaded guilty ol
high treason.
Tho statement reviews the recent history
Of the futile agitation for the redress Of
alleged uitlander grievances in the Trans.
vaal. Tho statement admits that, ia face
OF the rumors current that the Boers were
going TO attack Johannesburg, the signers
had asked DIR. jameson to como. but that
they deplored the mistake he had nado in
coming when there was no urgent need
for his presence. They maintained that
thoir action throughout tho crisis had not
been hostile TO tho republic Its officials
having been protected and life and prop
erly having been generally preserved.
They sent officers on Dec 81, tho state
mont says, to forbid the movement on DR..
.fnmoson's part.
In addition TO this signed statement
kilograms were handed In which had pass.
cd between Mr.. Belt OF the Chartered
South Africa company and DR.. jameson
Colonel Francis Rhodes and others, but
not Hon. Cecil Rhodes, the then premier
Of Capo Colony.
Following the presentation OF these doc
umonts counsel made speech Of two
hours duration in behalf Of tho defense
concluding as follows
IF the edge OF tho sword is TO be used
IL will cause eternal misery in the repub-
lie, but should the fiat side be employed
IL will usher in peace and good win"
The trial was then adjourned until to-

THE FIELD or POLITICS
Prospect of a Hot Fight In Iii.
nois Convention.
THE MKIELEY MEN ARE DEFIANT

The Young Republican Club of Brooklyn
Declares For the Ohio candidate-cui.
Iom still In the Field blackburn Says
He VIII Make No Compromise.
SPRINGFIELD, Ills, April 2s.-Of the
1895 delegates to the state convention,
which meets here tomorrow, Mckinley
has GAO instructed delegates There are
"a other delegates from counties that have
indorsed tho Ohio man.
While Mckinley apparntly has every
thing his own way, there will be the hot
test fight in the convention that the state
has seen. It will come early, too and il +
entirely probable that within two hours
after the convention is called TO order
either Mckinley or tho Illinois machine.
will have triumphed.
The fight will open on the organization,
and IL may come even with the nomina-
tion Of the temporary chairman. Notice
was served by the Mckinley managers on
the so called machine leaders that should
DR. Jameson, as chairman Of the general
committee, fail TO name q fair and uE-
preiudiced man for temporary presiding
officer his nomination will be challenged
and substitute offered. In order TO avoid
this threatened row Ex-Governor Fifcr
may be made both temporary and perma.
nent chairman. His selection, it is
thought, will still the dlscord for a time.
Another fight will bo made for the por-
nhanont organization. Tho Mckinley
forces claim they can control the commit
tee on organization and that it will name
a MoKinleyite for permanent chairman.
Mckinley Managers Defiant.
The Mckinley managers arc defiant.
They declare that II the party leaders lis
ten TO reason and give them fair play they
will not Interfere with their plans and
the nomination of the state ticket Will hs
allowed to go along smoothly. They say,
though, that should the leaders attempt
to relogate the Mckinley resolutions to
the tail end Of the convention they will ho
fought from the start and the convention
taken out Of their hands in a short timo
The attempt win then be made to smash
the entire slate and nominate an abso-
lutely new state ticket.
Both sides are playing desperate game
1t Is life or death for the regular organi-
cation. Compromise, from present indica-
tions, seems to be utterly out Of the ques
tion.
The Mckinley men will present their
resolutions indorsing the candidacy of No
Kinley almost Immediately after the ap-
pointment of the temporary chairman.
The sound money feature of the plat
form is being carefully looked after. The
business element represented here is ex-
ceedingly industrious, and tho money
plank win be the most clearly stated fea-
ture Of the platform. 1t will be for sound
money absolutely There will be no chance
for the silverites to get resolution
through.
Senator Cullom has arrived here. He
does not want Illinois to instruct for Nc
Kinley and would be pleased If II in
structed for Cullom. For many years SEN
ator Cullom has had a good deal to say
as to the distribution of federal patronage
In this state.

blackburn Against CompromIse.

WASHINGTON, April 2s. Senator Black
burn of Kentucky has made tho following
statements My attention is being daily
called to statements made in the newspa-
pors all over tho country of compromises,
either agreed to or pending. between the
gold standard advocates and those who
think with me in kentucky. These mis-.
representations are so numerous and come
from so many different quarters that de-
sire to answer once for all. No compro.
misc or adjustment has ever been offered
from the gold men to me. / surely have
never suggested ono to them. l never saw
my way clear to compromise a principle,
and in this case have no desire TO make
the experiment IN the coming state con.
vention in Kentucky the issue between
the gold monometallists and my people
Will be definitely and finally settled, If
my counsels shall prevail. With me there
is no middle ground Isincerely hope that
the Democratic convention in Kentucky
will send delegation to Chicago pledged
to restore silver at the ratio of l6 to /.
This is far r'ore important than any per
sOnal ambition of my own.
