Senator Gray on His Refusal to
Agree to Arbitration.

LONDON, Jan. 6.-Henry Norman, special
commissioner of the Daily Chronicle, cables
his paper from Washington as follows:
The tide of opinion here regarding Eng
land seems to me to be distinctly turning,
owing, l believe, both to the Chronicles nj
terances and to England's anxious foreign
crisis. Many utterances of the American
press prove the truth of my assertions that
the best American opinion is earnestly de-
sirous of friendly and dignifed settlement,
Today l had conversation on this subject
with Senator Gray, OF Delaware, an intimate
and devoted friend Of Mr.. Cleveland, man
who is commonly regarded as the presidents
special mouthpiece in the senate and mem
Der of the foreign relations committee SEN
ator Gray said:
4 do not think the president made or in
tended to make threat towards the British
government in his message but he did mean
to express In the strongest way possible his
own feeling; and what believe to be the
feeling of all the people of this country. re-
garding supposed British refusal of arbi-
tration in the Venezuelan matter, except
with reference to an arbitrary line made
up by the British government itself. I know
there is sincere regret and dismay among
all right-minded people here that a more
conciliatory disposition was not accepted by
Lord Salisbury in regard to the general prir-
ment should show kindly disposition to-
wards this principle believe it would be
greatly welcomed by thespeople of this coun-
try. So far as there being any loss of pres
tige to the British government in this course
it would make me more hopeful that the
great principle Of arbitration will find ex-
preston In a convention between the two
countries covering all questions that might
arise

secure American good will. Can England af-

and recently acting secretary-treasurer
of the Kilmer Bale Tie company of this
city, is, with his brother, Gus Weber,
under arrest on a charge of conspiring
to commit murder. The intended vic
tim, according to the charges made,
was E. V. Hamlin, the secretary and
treasurer OF the Bale Tie company.
Mr.. Hamlin, it is said, secured Weber
the place in st. Paul, and when his own
health gave way from overwork had
Weber brought here to fill his own po-
sition while he was away on a vaca-
ton. Weber filled Hamlin's position
with the Bale Tie company for nine
months and did so we'll that he was
promised the place permanently If Mr..
Hamlin did not return. The latter did
return, however, and Weber. was pro-
vided with another position. This an
gered him, and in order to again Sc
cure Hamlins place he, it is charged,
proposed to his brother that Hamlin
be put out of the way. Gus Webe
agreed and was provided with weap-
ons with which to do the work.
Thursday night Gus Weber and
man named Richard Maloney, who had
agreed to assist in the murder for $40,
are said to have followed Hamlin when
he left his office, intending to murder
him at the first opportunity The in
tended victim met a crowd of his
friends, however, and the murder was
postponed until Saturday night. Be
fore that time Maloney weakened and
told friend, who carried the tale to

FREUND,s TRIAL BEGINS TODAY,
Alleged Murderer of Clara Ober to
Battle for His Life,

BLUE EARTH CITY, Mimi, Jan. 6.
District court convenes here tomor-
row. 1t will hear the case Of Jacob
Freund, indicted for the murder of
Clara ODER, handsome and well-con-
nected girl of this city, who was found
dead in the Blue Earth river last sum-
mer. Her clothes had been torn and
chloroformed clothes had been wrapped
about her face, and there were circum-
stances that led to an immediate sus-
picion of Freund, and he was arrested.
Owing to his very strong political in
fiuence in the county and his power as
a wire puller, he is now out on $4,000
bonds.
The case promises to be one of the
most interesting that has ever come be-
fore any criminal bar in Minnesota. 1t
abounds in mystery and savors of the
romantic. The dead girl made a state
ment which covers fourteen pages, and
which those who have been permitted

statements An array of legal talent
such as has seldom been brought to-
gether in a country town will have

eral assisting actively in the prosecu-
ton, and A. H. Hall, Who was the ac-

ward, being chief coursel for Freund.

MAYOR FOR A YEAR
CITY'S CHIEF EXECUTIVE MAKES
HIS OFFICIAL ANNUAL
REPORT.

NUMBER OF ARRESTS SHOWS IN.

ports of Other Depart
ments.

That portion of Mayor Pratt's report
bearing upon the police department
was made public yesterday. 1t shows
that during the past year only three
officers were dismissed from the force
for drunkenness. One was dismissed
for carelessness in performing his duty,
and one fell a victim to consumption.
The appropriation for the police de-
partment for the year had only been
S212000, and the expenditures, by with
holding 10 per cent Of the officers sal
arises for the month Of December,
were brought within that amount.
The report then goes on to show
what saloon licenses were revoked in
1895. These licenses were only revoked
after the most thorough investigation
and hearing of both sides Of the case.
This portion Of the report also shows
what has been done to drive out of the
city blind pigs" and gambling houses.
1t points with much qualification to
the activity of the police along these
lines. The number of "blind pigs"
raided during the year was SO; gam
bling houses pulled" and fined num-
bered Al, and the number of gamblers
arrested was co.
Considerable interest was centered
in that portion of the report which
shows how the 5,648 arrests made by
the department in 1896 were divided as
to sex, occupation, nativity, etc. A
careful table is contained in the report
showing this. 1t is as follows: Male,
4,6S7; female, 961; total, 5,64S. Married,
2,287; single, 1851; total, 5,648.
Nativity-Austria, 13; Belgium, 1;
Bohemia, II; Canada, $50; Denmark,
80; England, 81; Finland, Is; France,
16: Greece, 5; Germany, PSI; Holland,
3; Hungary, 81 Ireland, 72; Roumania,
25; Russia, 50; Scotland 81; Spain, 2;
Sweden, 682, Switzerland, 4; total 2,O49.
Colored, 214; United States, 1886. To-
tal 5,648.
The number of persons who were
taken in by the police on various
charges who could not read or write
was three.
The report for the past year shows
that drunkenness has been somewhat
more prevalent than in 1894, there be-
ing about 100 more arrests on that
charge. Vagrancy has increased by
about $50 arrests, this being due to the
hard times last winter in this section
Of the country.

PARK BOARD FINANCES.
They Are Shown to Be in Excellent
Condition.

The park board held its regular monthly
meeting yesterday afternoon, and the new
member, F. G. Mcmillan, occupied the seat
of the late Baldwin Brown. Mr. Mcmillan
was farmly welcomed by the president, but
he did not take an active part in the pro
ceedings, preferring evidently to pick up a
few pointers by observation first Secretary
Cove presented his report for the year. His
figures showed receipts amounting to S276,-
22361 and disbursements amounting to $273,-
633. The balance on hand beginning the
year 1895 was 2,52O.40. The balance at the
beginning of the present year is $51O5.92.
Commissioner Loye presented resolution
that the board move into their new rooms in
the court house building. Commissioner Ry-
an said they had better stay where they
were, and save expenses, and President Fol-
well said that he doubted the advsability OF
moving unless there was prospect of secur-
ing better quarters in the court house soon
than the rooms offered for the present. 1t was
we're nearly ready for occupancy.
