OPINION ASSERTED,

Dr. George E. Whitten in the Superior
 Court-Opinion Will be Handed Down
 Next Monday.
 The case of George E. Whitten was argued before the superior court, civil side, Judge Shumway sitting, yester- yesterday afternoon. The counsel for Whitten opened the case by setting out that the indictment under which the prisoner was held was not proper one as the grand jury had not intended to indict the petitioner and that it was not the intention of the grand jury to return true bill against him.
 They alleged a mistake in that the indictment was indorsed a true bill by the foreman when it should have been a true bill against J. Edward Lee and not true bill against George E. Whit ten They further alleged that he was extradited upon this indictment, which was so indorsed by mistake.
 The state replied that there was an indictment pending in the superior court, valid upon it's face, and that the indictment was a record importing absolute verity. That so long as that lcCOlu u iCilleliltb u Ntlo NollNiuoiNC, duei no defect in the evidence upon which it was founded nor any irregularity could furnish an answer against it.
 It was in accordance with this opin- ion of the supreme court that the state asked that the court rule out and re- fuse to admit as a part of the pleadings all allegations in relation to that action of the grand jury which their oath re- quired them to keep secret
 Judge 'Shumway took the papers in the case and will give his decision next Monday at D. m.

Trick to Save Shea.

Troy, Jan. 14.-A large mass meet ing was held this evening under the auspices of the committee of public safety. An address was adopted, re- viewing the Ross murder of March 6 1894, and the trial and sentence of Bat Shea for the crime. The address shows that the recent alleged confession by John McGough, who is, serving a term of nineteen years and six months for attempting to kill William Ross that he and not Shea killed Ross is directly contrary to his own previous testimony and to that of at least fifteen reputable cii2ens, who swore in the Shea trial that they saw Shea shoot Robert Ross McGough as, a witness in the Shea trial swore that John H. Roland shot Ross, The address asserts that McGough' s so-called confession is part of trick to save Shea.

with the construction put upon the law of 1890 by the pension bureau, because the statute itself was defective and the construction of the bureau was a fair one as the law stood.
 MT. Cummings, dem., of New York, favored Mir. Graff's amendment and made a vigorous attack upon the policy of the pension bureau, which he de- clared caused union soldiers and their widows to shiver with apprehension that they would be stabbed in the back by bureau where they should receive only encomiums and support.
 For the last two years, declared MT. Cummings. the pension bureau had been emphatically unjust to the pen- sion claims of old soldiers. He repudi- ated the speech of MT. Bartlett yes- terday in the name of the democracy of New York, the Tammany Hall dem- ocracy, which, he asserted, had always been loyal to the union and the friend of the soldier. He was surrounded during the delivery of his impassioned phillipic by republican members, who applaud ed every sentence.
 The committee rose at the conclusion of Mir Cummings speech and Mir. Cur tis, rep, of New York, presented the military academy appropriation bill, which was placed on the calendar.
 Speaker Reed announced the follow ing members of the joint committee on the inauguration of the Chfckamaugua and Chattanooga National Park: Messrs. Grosvenor, Kieffer, Strong, Av- cry, Bowers, Wheeler, Cox, Maddox and Crisp.

NO COMMUNICATION REcE1rnD.
The Red Cross Has Never Exchanged q
 Word With Turkey.


 Word With Turkey.
 Washington, Jan. 14.-Mavroyeni Bey, the Turkish minister to the United States, this afternoon authorized the following:
 You ask me, he said, what I have to say about the statement that the Red Cross society has decided not to pay any attention to the communication un- til 1t is officially transmitted to it by the Turkish government or Turkish minister. My answer is very simple, and it is the following:
 The Red Cross has never communi- cated with this legation It has only communicated to my knowledge with the press and the public, it's president, Miss Clara Barton, assisting, without protest at public meetings where the most gross and unjust abuse was made ofthe Turkish government, religion and race. As the Red Cross, or any of it's representatives, never visited this lega- tion it is clear and logical that this le- gation has nothing to communicate to said socisty This legation sent it's com- munication to the press, because it is the public the Red Cross took into it's confidence. But, naturally, I will al- ways be ready and pleased to give to the Red Cross society any explanation it may think proper to ask for.
 This whole question, the minister, ad- ded, is question of right.

OPPOSED TO WALL STREET
WESTERN MEN DO NOT WANT NEW YORK FOR THE CONVENTION.

It Looks as Though There Will be a Big
 Fight on the Silver Ouestion--Oniy a Few
 Members of the National Committee Are
 at Washington.
 Washington. Jan. 14.-The situation thirty-siX hours before the democratic national committee is environed with difficulties although the convention has narrowed to St. Louis, Chicago and New York, with free silver as potent fac tor in the fight. The western men are opposed to New York. St. Louis would suit many of these gentlemen. Others would gladly go to Chicago. Anything but Wall street, with gold bug influ- ence, is the slogan of the extreme free silver men.
 The New Workers say that they are not here to promote schism in the dem- ocratic ranks on the money question or any other question. They have, they declare, the best convention city in America. John A. Mason, one of the advance guard for New York, says that New York now has fifteen votes and it is not unlikely that when the balloting begins she may lead off with twenty. Both the New York and St. Louis men were busy to-day. The Missourians announce that twelve votes have been pledged to them with others in sight.
 The Chicago delegation comes in to- morrow.
 Louisville, it Is said, has delegation en route.
 The Cincinnati contingent will arrive tomorrow.
 Only few members of the national committee have arrived here. The subcommittee, consisting of Messrs. Harrity of Philadelphia, German of Maryland. Cable of Illinois, Smalley of Vermont and Wall of Wisconsin to- night consider the resolution intro duced by General Collins to hold the convention of '96 with closed doors. It was agreed that such course was im- practicable and the resolution was de- feated.
