Session.

The Debate on the Davis Resolution on the
Monroe Doctrine VIII be In Executive
Session.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-When the
Davis resolution on the Monroe doc
trine, reported from the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations, is reached
on the calendar, or is made the unfin-
ished business of the senate. a motion
will be made to proceed with the de-
bate behind closed doors. AS such a
motion only requires single second,
it is possible for two senators to COM
pei such action to be taken. Many
senators believe that this is the proper
course with respect to this question.
A leading member of the committee
on foreign relations said yesterday
that no harm could come from the
carefully prepared essays on this res
olution, but that harm might grow out
of the impromptu debate that would
certainly follow this question when it
came before the senate regularly for
consideration. That the resolution
will pass, although it may be modified
somewhat, there is no doubt, and some
members of the committee hold that
in the future, when this government
has occasion to invoke the doctrine as
enunciated by the senate the debate
may be called in to interpret the con-
struction placed upon the resolution
at the time it was adopted.
AS the senate desires the text of the
resolution to speak for itself, it will
see to it that the debate does not appear
for the future use or misuse of any
secretary of state or foreign diplomat.

BAYARD WILL RESIGN

II the House of Representatives Censures
Him for His Public Speeches In England
Tho Threat of the Ambassador Com
mented on by Members of Congress.
LONDON. Feb. 4.--Hon. Thomas F..
Bayard, United States ambassador
here, has authorized President Cieve
land to announce his resignation in
the event Of vote adverse to him upon
the house of representatives resolu-
tion censuring him for his utterances
in his speeches in Edinburgh and else
where in Great Britain.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-Nothing can
be learned here concerning Ambas-
sador Bayard's reported conditional
tender of his resignation to President
Cleyeland, but despite this lack of in
formation on the matter, there is a
belief among government officials cor
roborative of the news. Friends of the
ambassador who were seen since are
inclined to believe that Mr.. Bayard
had rendered his resignation condition
ally mainly to relieve the president of
incidentally, perhaps, though not
thoroughly understanding the resolu-
tion of censure was adopted by the
house committee on foreign affairs by
a party vote.
At the capitol the announcement Gre
ated something of a sensation among
the members of the house.
Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio, for example,
characterized it as ian attempt to
bulldoze congress" He also said that
he regarded it as worse than the sen
timents contained in Mr.. Bayard's
original speeches."
The principal effect of the announce
ment, he said, would be to pass the
resolution by a larger majority than
would otherwise have been the case.
Mr.. McCreary, of Kentucky, chair
man of the house foreign affairs COM
mittee during the past two congresses,
and who is now its ranking democratic
member, declined to express an opin-
ion regarding the dispatch. He stated
subsequently that whatever he had to
say regarding the controversy would
be put in his speech defending Mr..
Bayard when the resolutions of CEN
sure shall come before the house. He
would assert in this speech that the
action of the house is unprecedented,
and that it is an invasion of the execu
tive power.
Mr.. Taft, of Ohio, one of the repub-
lican members of the committee, ex-
pressed an unwillingness to make pub
lie the details of the discussion Satur-
day last, but said that the republicans
would meet the democrats more than
half way in the adoption Of mild res
olution of censure.
1t is now learned that the PROPOSE
tion placed before the democrats by the
republicans was the adoption of res
olution simply stating in terms that
American representatives abroad
should not discuss publicly the affairs
of their country. Itwas intended that
this admonition should be general,
and that Mr.. Bayard's name should
not appear in the resolution. The re-
fusal of the democrats to agree to this
resolution resulted in some of the
younger members of the committee
forcing through resolutions, the sub
stance of which have already been
made public.

SO Say the Twelve Good Men and True
Verdict Found on the First Baiiot--AIl
the Efforts of tho Attorneys for the De-
fense to.Gain Time Frustrated by an In
dignant Judge Aided by the States At
t0rneys.
UNION, NO., Feb 2.--The jury came
into court at 1920 this morning. The
news spread rapidly and the court
room was soon packed with people.
The verdict of the jury is murder in
the first degree and was reached on
the first ballot.
Closing Hours of the Great Trial.
UNION, Mo-, Feb. 2.-In the trial Of
Arthur Duestrow for the murder of
his wife and baby, Judge Hirzeps fight
for the conclusion of the case by Sat
urday night was hard one. Every
step of the way was fought. The
Judge, however, was firm, and insisted
on the conclusion of testimony by FRI
day night. He was ready, if the need
had arisen, to have held an all-night
session.
The arguments began at eight
o'clock a.. M. yesterday, Prosecuting
Attorney, Bolte opening forsthe state.
The arguments were TO continue 10
hours, the state to use six and volun.
tarily conceding seven to the defense.
Some time was lost in the morning in
assembling court, and more was lost
similarly at night. For this reason
the case did not go the jury until II
o'clock last night.
Neither the state nor the defense al
lotted the time at its disposal to its
speakers. Each person was allowed,
within limits, to use what in his dis
cretion the circumstances warranted.
The effort of all the earlier speakers
was to leave as much time as possible
to the use of the heavy weights who
were to put the concluding touches on
the great case.
The order of speakers was Bolte.
holland, Gallenkamp, Booth, Dryden,
Meriweather, Johnson and Zachritz
1t was just II o'clock last night when
Judge Hirzel gave the case to the
twelve jurors chosen to find a verdict.
The night hours in court had been
very wearying, the only diversion in
the dreary closing of the trial of the
double murderer were the vigorous
protests of the defendants attorneys
against the bitter arraignment of the
man on trial for the staying of his wife
and only child.
Attorney Merriwether presented the
states case with such earnestness that
Attorney Dryden tried to break its eff
feet upon the jury by objecting to Mr..
Merriwethers language.
Another memorable scene was the
tear-shedding by Duestrow when Mer-
riwether directed the jurors to the
graveyard and pointed out the granite
monument that marked the resting
place of the murdered wife and little
Louis. For the first time Duestrow ex-
hibited unmistakable evidence of his
sanity, and full knowledge of the trag-
edy enacted by him in the family home
when bullets from his revolver took
the life of his wife and child.
Circuit Attorney Zachritz closed
with an address to the jury that called
for verdict of willful murder against
Duestrow. The little attorney was at
his best, and the states case was left
in the hands of the jury in the clearest
possible manner.

Hon. JOHN X. GowDY, INDIANAPOLIS,

delegates to the national republican
convention are soon to be chosen in
this state, have concluded that some

have declined to speak to the public
upon this matter, but scores Of friends
to whom have talked, and many
scores more 10 whom | have written,
win recognize in this expression the
substance of what have said to them.
To every one who has proposed to
promote my nomination have said
mo. There never has been an hour
since left the White House that l
have felt wish to return to it,"
My Indiana friends have been most
devoted and faithful, and am their
grateful debtor. The republican party
has twice in national convention given
me its Endorsement, and that is enough.
l think the voters of our party are now
entitled to have new name. For
the sentiment, great or small, that
has been manifested for my nomina-
tion, am grateful, and for that wider
respect and Misunderstanding party
lines-which have been shown me in
SO many ways, am profoundly APP
preciative.
II cannot consent that my name be
presented to or used in the st. Louis
convention, and must kindly ask my
friends to accept this as sincere and
final expression upon the subject.

Four Firemen and Patro1man Nearly
smothercd by Ammonia Gas,
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-Ammonia gas es-
Gaping from the refrigerating pipes in
the hop room of the Gottfried brewery
Saturday morning, nearly ended the
lives of four firemen and one patrol
man who were engaged in fighting a
small fire IN the fifth story. Marshal
William II. Townsend, Lieut.. Joseph
Millic, two pipemen and the policeman
fell unconscious to the floor as soon
as their lungs had inhaled the deadly
vapor. Their comrades behind fell
back for moment, but gallantly raj
lied to the rescue and dragged the five
men from the midst of the suffocating
and binding fumes. The fire mar
shals have been instructed as to the
danger from melting refrigerator
pipes in cold-storage establishments
and other establishments, but no one
had an idea at Saturdays fire that the
flames had gained sufficient headway
to melt the pipes.

DESCENDANTS OF WASHINGTON

Who Claim to Have Valuable Relics of
the Father of His Country and Want a
Donation.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Secretary Hoke
Smiths mail yesterday morning con-
tanned letter from Virginia Washing
ton and Mary L. Washington, of
Portsmouth, O., stating that they had
proof that they are descendants of Gen.
George Washington and had in their
possession several relics that belonged
to the father of his country. These
include tortoise shell snuff box
given Thomas Jefferson by Washing
ton, and subsequently returned to the
Washington family; toddy spoon,
Washington's free mason's apron,
Bible, gold cane and cavalry saddle.
1t is asserted that they had once a
sword and cane belonging to WASH
| ington for which congress at one time
agreed to make handsome donation,
provided they were presented to the
nation. These valuable relics, they
say, were entrusted to Congressman
Judge Summers" presumably of West
Virginia), who served in the Twenty
seventh and Twenty-eighth congresses,
who, they say, presented them to con-
gress in his own name.
The heirs assert that they after
wards received letter of thanks from
congress, but that the letter was un-
fortunately lost by their relative Sam
uel L. Washington, who ''died among
strangers in Texas" and they have not
received the donation. They ask Sec
retary Smith to obtain for them copy
of the missing letter and to see that
justice is done to them. The sccre-
tary has not yet taken action in the
matter

BALLlNoToN BOOTH.


Large aud Influential Meeting OF New
Y0rkers to Protest Against His Recall, or
that of His Wife, from Positions In
Which They Have Been Blessed OF God
and Acceptable to the People.
New YORK, Feb. 4.-The meeting
last night to protest againt the re-
moval of Commander and Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth from the leadership Of the
Salvation army in this country filed
the main floor of Carnegie Music hall
comfortably full of friends Of the de-
posed leaders.
Chauncey M. Depew presided and
ministers of almost every denomina-
tion were present.
Mayor Strong sat to the right of the
chairman and made an address, as also
did Bishop Andrews, Rev. DIR. Strong,
William Il. Dodge and Rev. DIR. Brad
ford.
Mr.. Depew began his address by
reading a telegram from Bramwell
Booth, chief Of staff, to the effect that
Gen. Booth was now in India, but that
the recalling of his son was intended
as no dsoourtesy. With this. little
| prelude the speaker went on TO say
that that was all very we'll, but that
New Workers. had a way of doing
things and saying things without
much regard to what London thought
about it.
This was not done, he said, in any
Dragging spirit, but in the interest Of
letting the kindred across the sea
know that the infant here had views
of its own.
Mr.. Depew then eulogized the great
work of Commander Booth and his fol-
lowers in the army, and explained in
his felicitous way just why there was
such objection to the removal of Com
mander and Mrs. Booth. He had his
audience with him and every mention
of the two names around which his re-
marks were woven brought out storms
of applause.
Other speakers followed in a similar
vein.
Resolutions were then introduced
and adopted urging, if consistent with
the best interests of the whole world,
"that Commander and Mrs. Booth be
allowed to remain in the positions in
which they have been so abundantly
blessed by God, in which they have
won the honor, gratitude and love of
the American people, and have led on
with inspiring zeal all the members of
the army in their rescue work"
