WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-In maxi
ing selection of a Consul at Cane
Town, South Africa, which fell upon
James H Mulligan of Kentucky, whose
name was sent to the Senate to-day.
the President and Secretary Olney ex-
ercised the greatest caution in view of
the important position which the Consul
will occupy with reference to the Trans
yaal disturbances and the arrest of
John Hays Hammond and other Amer
lean citizens.
In order to secure for the position a
standing that would make it accept
able to some man of prominence. Mr..
Olney requested the Senate Committee
on Appropriations to insert in the dip

name in various banks. He has al
ready signed checks for the current ex-
penses of the organization. Another
account has been started in the name
of Eva Booth, to which all available
funds are added, but many of the con-
tributions still come in the form of
checks to the order of Ballington Booth,
which must be deposited in the ac
counts in his name.
Colonel William Eadie, one Of the
leaders of the Salvation Army in this
country, announces positively that all
danger of a secession by the supporters
of former Commander Ballington Booth
are now past. All the BrigadierS of the
army, who during the controversy be-
tween the two factions had been waver-
ing, are now ready to support General
William Booth of London against Mr..

The report states that the minority

PEARL BRYAN MURDER.
Scott jackson Makes an Important
Confession.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 26.-Scott Jack
son, in an exciting interview with a
reporter at the Jail this morning, con-
fessed that he had improper relations
with Pearl Bryan. This is the most
important confession of the prisoner
since his Imprisonment.
Ever since his arrest Jackson has
held out against the overwhelming
facts that his relation with Pearl Bryan
were absolutely honorable and that
his sole purpose in having her come to
Cincinnati and undergo a criminal op-
Grafton was to protect his friend, Will
lam Wood
In the interview Wood is almost vim
dicated. Had he not written the series
of disgusting letters to Jackson, he
would have been a free man to-day.
Both Jackson and Wood admitted
that DR.. Gillespie strongly urged Jack
son to marry Pearl Bryan Wood,
when seen after Jackson's interview
talked about the Gillespie interview
with little reserve. He was not in
formed of what Jackson had confessed
He unconsciously corroborated Jack
sons story, except the matter of his
(Wood's) confessing to having improper
relations with his second cousin.

NO HOPE FOR THEM.
SiIyerites VIII Stand Poor Chance If
They Run a Ticket of Their Own.

Silverites VIII Stand Poor Chance if
They Run Ticket of Their Own.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Phila-
delphia dispatches foreshadowing the
possible detection of the free silver Re-
publicans and the nomination by them
of Senator Teller of Colorado or Mr..
Barker of Philadelphia on free coin
age platform are received by leading
Republican members Of the House with
incredulity.
The claim that the silver men hold
the balance of power in New York and
Indiana is absolutely denied. There
are certain sections of New York
where groups of free silverites are
to be found, but they are widely scat
tered and not of sufficient Importance
to carry a single county election.
The Indiana Republicans who were
spoken with feel certain that the mem
bers of of their party who favor free
coinage win not desert the nominee of
the ST Louis convention. Mr.. Steele,
who represents the Marion District,
said there would be no detection worth
the name. 1--WE have always had to
beat" said he, "all the isms in Indiana
when we succeeded in carrying the
State, and it will be nothing new to beat
them this year"
Mr.. Johnson of Indiana took the same
hopeful view.
Excepting Schuylkill County, in Penn
sylvania where still remain great
many members of the old greenback
party, there is not apparently any senti-
ment in Pennsylvania for free silver
that, in the opinion of the Pennsylvania
Representatives need cause any fear
in the approaching campaign.
Dingley of Maine, the Republican
leader of the House, ventured the asser-
ton that outside the mining States and
a few of the adjoining States the free
silver men in the North, East and West
were not worth considering. In his
judgment they will cut no figure in the
elections this year.
Nebraska Republicans insist that the
sound money movement in that State
is largely in the ascendency. The Re
publicans are for sound money, and
from $4,000 to 10000 Democrats it is
said, will vote the Republican ticket
if the Democratic party commits it
self to a declaration favoring the free
coinage of silver. Representative Hart
man, who is a pronounced friend of sill
yer and one of the most prominent
members of the minority, has heard of
no plan by the silver Republicans look
ing to bolt il the platform at st. Louis
be not satisfactory to them. He thinks
that majority of the voters will sup
port a is to / proposition, because that
would produce genuine bimetallism.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

VIII Open for Traffic This Fall.
CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-It has been Off
cially announced that the Kansas City,
Pittsburg and Gulf Railroad will be
opened for traffic September 1st next,
making what is claimed to be the short
est possible route from Kansas City to
deep water on the Gulf of Mexico at
Sabine Pass. The road has been char
tered and used for traffic for some time
from Kansas City to Stillwell, Indian
Territory. 25S miles.
The full length of the road is 100 miles
1t is being especially built to develop
trade between Kansas City and
the territory south of that city. The
rev road also expects to divert from
present channels much of the export
grain trade of Kansas and Nebraska,
shipping direct from Gulf ports to Eu-
rope. In other respects, the new road
viii be a standing menace to the sta
bility of freight rates via Chicago.
In the last five years the Union Pa
cific has built seventy-eight new loco
motives, capable of hauling six addi-
ticnal cars to each train without extra
cost of operation, and the result is
shown in the great saving of operating
expenses since 1890. Last year it cost
the road S1,040.000 less to haul its
freight than it did in $780, although the
tonnage was greater The company has
purchased no new locomotives since

TEXAS DELEGATION.
They Vote Down Tracy's Reso-

st. Louis, Mo-, July 21-
There was a lively skirmish in
the Texas delegation today ov-
er the proposition to ask Bryan
to define his attitude toward
the Omaha populist platform.
The question was brought up
by Harry Tracy, who proposed
that a telegram be sent to Bryt
an asking if be fn6orsed the
platform. Tracy made a sp;r-
tied speech in support of his
proposition, saying that in view
of the talk of indorsing Bryan
by the populist contention the
delegates we're entitled to know
how he stood with reference 10
populist principles. The pro-
position was voted down by a
narrow margin, but not until
after several members bad
made speeches for and against
it. Those who oppose sending
the telegram took the position
that it would be an inaelicate
matter to put such an inquiry
to Bryan at this time. The
friends of Bryan accept the re-
suit with much satisfaction in
view Of the superstition that it
was irreconcilably hostile. to
the democratic nominee.

MEASURING PRISONERS.
Beftillon System to Be Put in
Operation at Sing Sing.


Legislature passed at Albany
last winter, Warden Sage Of.
Sing Sing Prison will this week
inaugurate the BertilIon system
for the Identification and meas
uring of the criminals now in
Sing Sing Prison.
The BertiIlon system of
anthropometrical Identification
was founded by Alphonse Ber-
tillon, chief of the judicial
Identification Service of France,
and is recognized as the most
comprehensive and thorough
means of Identification in use.
It's superiority over the present
system used in.this State has
long been realized by prison
authorities 'and detectives. 1t
was first introduced in the Uuit-
ed States in 1887 in the Illinois
State Penitentiary at joliet.
On Monday Warden Sage
expects to start a school in the
prison here for instruction in
the Bertilloh method, at which
two representatives of every
penal institution in the State
will be present aud receive in
struction in the details of the
new system. DR.. Paul R.
Brown, Major and Surgeon in
the United States Army,
stationed at Washington, will
be in charge of the class. DR..
Brown has made a careful study
of the Bertillon method and is
one Of its foremost opponents
in the United States.
Warden Sage estimates that
it will take about one half an
hour to apply the method of
Identification on one man. At
that rate, with the 1870, con-
viclions, it will take at least
three months to complete the
task.
1 visited the prison yester-
day, and Warden Sage escort
ed me to the measuring room
and explained how the APP
pliances are used.
A convict was summoned and
Eordersd to remove his shoes
and socks, and his shirt
sleeves were rolled up above
1.-The elbow. The Warden then
placed him with his back
against measuring board,
shaped similar to a Maltese
cross. Against this the prisoner
stood, his heels sauarely on the
floor. Attached to the perpen
dicular arm and on the center
panel are graduated scales, the
former Indicating the arm s
reach and the latter the stand
ing height.
The length Of the prisoners
trunk was nezf obtained. He
was made TO sit on a small
wooden bench, attached to one
side of the Maltese cross, and a
! sliding block was placed on
the top of the prisoners head,
and the trunk measurement
vas indicated on a scale sim
liar the one arranged for the
height.
