NEWPORT, KY, May 1.-The pro-
cesdlngs In the trial OF Scott Jackson
to-day were less exciting than those OF
Yesterday, yet the interest in II did not
abats nor did tho crowd Of spectators
dIrbinlnh. This interest extends TO the
court house corridors and the neiEn-
boring Gtreets and lhrongs them with
people. There were ffty women In
the court room to-day. Morning noon
and night, as the prisoner passes be
tween the court room and the jalI'
ihrnnEB, mostly women and children
gather to catch a glimpse OF him. To-
niEht there were nearly two hundreu
In the crowd, including half n dozen
infants IN baby wagons. lot OF haIc-
headed little girls exercising on roIler
skates, and OF men not over a score.
The children stop and stare In silent
wonder at the prisoner as he iH led
by and all words BY their elders are
spoken in undertones.
Tho drift OF the testimony for the de-
feuse to-day disclosed n purpose to
show that Pearl Bryan, though be-
headed in Kentucky, was first Killed
in Cincinnati and then taken over to
Kentucky and beheRdcd. This, u sue

Special Dispatch to the IntslligenceT.
FAIRMoNT. W. Va, May 1.-The
West Virginlan. the leading Republican
paper OF this place. publishes the fol-
lowing editorial to-day:
The Wheeling Register IS exhauStinE
itself In telling how money is flowing INTO
this state In the interest Of Mckinley tor
President and g. ". Atkinson Tor GOV gov
ton county TO work up a Mckinley and
Atkinson boom" We happen TO Know
all about the 3l,45O TRANSACTION, and SO do
other Falrmont people. most o. whom
are prominent Deomcrats who have be-
come disgusted with the Registers twad-
die Tho amount Of money named went
10 Preston county That much OF the
story Is true. II did not come from Nc
lSiniey and Atkinson, nor from their
friends or agents. This Is also true; The
money was not in any way connected WIN
politics. The transaction was strictly
private one and for that reason cannot
be explained. II the Register viii come OUT
hero we will cite II 10 prominent Demo-
crat who viii show It how ridiculous It
has made Itself.
The story referred to. which the Reg
lister has been harping on for some time
past. created more amusement than
CONSERVATION here and in Preston coun-
ty, where the facts connected with 1t
we're known to a number Of people. 1t
IL also known that the persons who
have furnished the Register with the
vast deal OF mIsinformatIon 1t has been
publishing, are aware OF the truth OF
the whole matter. but have not had the
manliness to correct che wrong I'M
precision they have attempted to create
to bring dIscredit on A!r. Atkinson and
weaken the Mckinley sentiment in the
state.
The young man who was alleged to
have received Sl.450 OF Mckinley mo-
ney for use in Preston county. is
known to have received that amount
from a bank in this place. 1t was the
result of an authorized draft he
made on a wealthy relative in dis
tant state. and before It was protested.
by the party on whom 1t was drawn, he
had departed. To avoid trouble the
young mans friends, who are well-to-
do, made the money good to the bank.
The story that he had received the
money for political purposes grew out
Of an idle boast he made in the pres
ence Of several persons in order to ac-
count for his possession OF SO large
wad of money.
The fact that politics had not the
remotest connection with the affair has
been known all along to Democrats and
Republicans here and they have not at
tempted to conceal their digust at the
course Of the Wheeling Democratic or
gan, in whose power 1t was to ascertain
the exact facts had not its mendacious
desire to slander Republican leaders
prevented 1t from making a proper in
vestigatlon. Full details of the cIrcum-
stances connected with the affair can
not be given for obvious reasons.

OF the day to debate on the bankruptcy
bill. Several amendments were offer
ed, but none were adopted. a bill
10 provide for n delegate In Congress
from tho territory OF Alaska was de-
fcated forty-four to fifty. Mr.. Scranton,
(Rep., Pcnna.). called up the bill and
spoke of the development OF the Alaska
mining and fishing industries and the
Increase Of population In the last
fifteen years. Its vast area, rendered
II properly necessary that It should
have n well Informed representative In
the house. There were, he said, over
10000 white Americans In Alaska
Mr.. Perkins, CRcp.. lOwa), opposed
the bill urging the migratory nature OF
her white population and the improba-
bIlIty that Alaska could ever be given
n territorial government, certainly not
for many years Ia come, He declared
the pressure for the bill came from
Alaskan corporations
In the course OF the debntc on the
