CINCINNATI, ONO, March 1.-THE
intention of the Circuit Court to hear the
Jackson and Walling extradition matter
this morning was baked by the fact that
the attorneys in the case had not perfected
their record in error from the decision of
the Common Pleas Judge. In consequence
a delay of several hours ensued, during
which the attorneys were busy making up
the papers.
The case opened at II o'clock before
Judges Ewing, Smith and Cox. Jackson
and Walling were not present. Attorney
Shepard, for Walling, made the announce
ment, ana ex-Judge Ermston read peti
ton in habeas corpus, setting forth that
Jackson and Walling were unlawfully de-
prived of their liberty, and pleading errors
of law and lack of evidence. A bill of ex-

legged in the Common Pleas decision as to
the warrants supporting requisition
papers. Ermston then devoted himself to
argument as to the position of Kentucky

as to any injury the accused would receive

KRUGER'S TRIP T0LONDON
1t Is Fiercely Opposed by the
Organ of the Boer Gov
ernment.
Movements in the Transvaal Which
Both Puzzle and Alarm the
English.

LONDON, ENG, March 14.-President
Kruger of the South African republic told
his latest interviewer, the editor OF South
Africa. that he was going to London as
soon as he had arranged matters with his
Government. The Volksstein of Pretoria,
the accredited organ of the Boer Govern
ment, vehemently opposes President Kru-
gers acceptance of Colonial Secretary
Chamberlain's invitation to visit London
to discuss Transvaal affairs. The English,
says the Volksstein. have shrewdly accu-
rate desire to get President Kruger to Lon
don, in order to show Europe that the
Transvaal is a vassal state of Great Britain.
The journey, it adds, will humlliate the
President and will make him appear, not
as ruler to carry out the wishes OF the
Transvaal, but as the tool of Downing
street.
The fact is that President Kruger con-
tinues to puzzle English officialdom.
While seeming to be all frankness and
friendliness, reliable advices report him to
be secretly continuing his elaborate opera
tions to arm the Transvaal. It is a matter
of the greatest uneasiness here that small
groups Of Germans, who are understood
to be veterans, are Systematically i'm
ported into the Transvaal. The artillery
strength Of the republic has been greatly
increased and there are now a number of
retired German officers attached to that
branch OF the service.

FKPELLED THE MINISTER.
Members of a Mckinley Club Objected to
McLdughJins Language.

EAST LIVERPOOL, OHIO, March IA
At meeting of the Mckinley Republican
Club of this city Thursday night the Rev.
]. 3. Mclaughlin, formerly of this city,
but now pastor of the Methodist Protest
ant Church of Turtle Creek, Pa, was sum-
marily expelled for conduct unbecoming
member and for violent and insulting lam
guage.
Charges were preferred against him a
week ago for a statement which he was
said to have made rejecting on the charac-
ter of Governor Mckinley. The Rev. Mr..
Mclaughlin, during a speech made at a
meeting of the Patriotic Orders of Pitts
burg on March 1, was reported as saying
that Governor and Mrs. Mckinley, while
visiting Colonel John N. Taylor, member
of the Governors staff here. danced and
drank wine.
The Rev. Mr.. Mclaughlin was notified
to be present at the meeting of the club
Thursday night to answer to the charges
against him. He attended the meeting
and stirred things up so that it is said a
fight was narrowly averted. He was then
expelled for language which he is alleged
to have used against several members OF
the club during his speech.

inherited.

PEKIN, Ill, March 14.-Albert Wallace
was hanged to-day for the murder of his
sister. He was pronounced dead in eleven
minutes after the drop fell. He made no
statement.
The crime for which Wallace suffered
to-day was the murder of his sister, Mrs.
John Bowlsby, the evening of February
10, 1895. All the parties lived in Dillon
Township, Tazewen County. Albert had
borne a bad reputation, often drinking
heavily, and was considered dangerous
and quarrelsome fellow. When his father,
Andrew Wallace, met his death some years
ago, his property was left to his daughter,
and Albert was cut off with nothing.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bowlsby gave him home
and treated him well, though there were
continual quarrels over the property. On
the evening the crime was committed Mrs.
Dowlehy was Dlaying an organ in the
sitting-roo her husband, Lawrence
Imam (the hired man) and Albert stand
ing about it singing. Albert suddenly left
the room, and moment later began
shooting through the window with shot
gun. Mrs. Bowlsby was shot in the
stomach and died the next day. Her hus-
band had his right hand shot off and
Imam received charge in the limbs.
Immediately after the shooting Wallace
drove to Pekin and gave himself up, though
refusing to acknowledge the crime.
At the September term OF the Circuit
Court he was found guilty and sentenced
by Judge N. w. Green to hang October %,
1895. The case was carried to the Supreme
Court for the Northern District at Ottawa,
which granted supersedeas two days be-
fore the day of execution. The motion for
a new trial was argued before the Supreme
Court of the Central District at the Janu-
ary term and on January % was remanded
to the Circuit Court for resentence. Feb
ruary 19 he was sentenced to hang on
March IA.
When the Supreme Court granted the
supersedeas mob was organized in Dill
Ion Township to lynch Wallace, but lack
ing leader nothing came of the attempt.
Throughout the trial Wallace has pre-
served wonderful GOODNESS and up to the
last joled and laughed with his guards.
He has married sisters in Peoria and Tre-
mont, who exhausted every resource to
save his life.
Dillon Township is a rough locality
Lewis Perrill was shot there by George
Smith, who is now under sentence of death.
The list of the crimes committed there is a

Not Quite Ready to Submit the
Boundary Question to
Arbitration.
YET TRYING TO DEAL DIRECT
Some Significance Attached to the
Meeting of Sir Julian Pauncefote
and Senior Andrade.

NEW YORK, N. Y. March IA Her.
aid special from Washington says: There
is absolutely no foundation for the report
that the United States andGreat Britain
have come to a definite and satisfactory
settlement of the Venezuelan controversy.
That there will be an amicable settlement,
however, no one familiar with the case has
the slightest doubt.
1t is believed that Lord Salisbury is
wavering in his position against arbitra-
ton, but at the same time it is thought
he has not abandoned the hope of reach
ing settlement directly with Venezuela.
In this connection considerable impor-
tance is attached to the recent meeting
here between the British Embassador Sir
Julian Pauncefote, and the Venezuelan
Minister, Senor Andrade. There is a pos
sibility that this meeting may lead to a
resumption of diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries and eventually to
the settlement of the boundary question.
LONDON, Eng, March 1.-THE Venezu-
ella Blue Book, issued last week by the
Government, gets scant respect on any
side. The Speaker says that it cannot
suppose that the Blue Book is all that
Great Britain intends to place before the
Washington Commission. The Govern
ment, it adds, has been served with lam
entable inefficiency.
If this country has to put UP with Ma
tional humiliation the blame will rest with
the officials of Downing street.
The st. Jam es Gazette says that the re-
ply made in the House of Commons last
njoht hV Sir Richard Wehefar tba A ttor
ney-General, in response to a question
asked by Sir E.. T. Gourley relative to the
alleged Interpretations in the Blue Book
does not vindicate the British case as pre-
sented. 1t adds that there has been no in
territorial garbling of the evidence, but
that it is impossible to deny that there
was carelessness in the preparation of the
work. This has created the belief that the
Blue Book is less cogent and convincing in
favor of the British claim than it really is.

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 14.-The
