APPEAL OF HOLMES,
1t Is the Special Order In the SUI

1t Is the Special Order In the SUI
preme Court Today.
Philadelphia, Feb. s.-The appeal Of
the now celebrated murderer, H. H.
Holmes, from the verdict of a Philadel-
phia Jury that consigned him to the gall
lows for n Of his many crimes, is the
special order in the state supreme court
today. with Chief Justice Sterrett pre-
siding. Vigorous efforts had been made.
by the defense to secure a postponement
OF the matter until the second week in,
March, but at an informal conference.
of the justices it was decided that there.
were no grounds for further delaying
the presentation of the appeal to the
highest tribunal. The brief of the de-
tense, and abstract of the testimony
upon which the appeal is based, covers
some $50 pages of typewritten legal cap.
This Is the first case in many years that
the court has waived its rule insisting
upon printed copies OF the brief and tes-
timony, a special exception being made
in Holmes case by reason of the power
ty of the defendant; although the dis
trict attorney, in the interest Of fair
play. offered to have the matter printed
out OF the funds appropriated to his de-
partment. Holmes is represented by
Lawyer Samuel p. Rotan, while Distr!c;
Attorney Graham looks after the peo-
pies side of the case. The decision of
the court may be announced within
tw%enty-four hours. or. on the other
hand, 1t may be delayed for not more
than a month.
Holmes counsel based their ar
gument upon the alleged mad
instability Of the evidence Of
Miss Yohe, because of marital relations.
Judge Arnold, before whom Holmes was
tried in the court Of oyer and terminer,
admitted this testimony on the ground
that a prior marriage nullified the un.
ion.

MISREPRESENTATION.
The Adjourned Conference Will Be

Tho Adjourned Conference Will Be
Held in Chicago This Evening.
Chicago, Feb. 3.-The adjourned con-
ference Of the executive committee of
the Millers' National association, at
which an appeal to President Cleveland
will be formulated asking for an imme-
date enforcement of the administrative
customs act of the original Mckinley
bill, which permits the president to re-
taliate against foreign countries that
discriminate in their customs acts
against American products, will be held
behind closed doors at the Auditorium
this evening and tomorrow. No def
mite action was taken last week, owing
to the fact that Hon. Charles A. Pills
bury of Minneapolis, who is chairman
of the executive committee, was in at
tendance before the ways and meal
committee of the house of representa-
tives at Washington. The committee
Is composed as follows: C. b.
Cole. Chester. ILL.,: C. j. Martin, Mime
apolis; r. A. James, Buffalo; F. II. Mag
deburg, Milwaukee,; c.. T. Ballard,
Louisville; w. C. Coombs, Coldwater,
Mich; George Urban, Buffalo; NJ. II.
Davis, Shelby, o.; Charles A. Plllsbury,
chairman, Minneapolis, and Frank Bar
ry, secretary, Milwaukee, will also con-
slider plans for securing a restoration of
the reciprocal trade relations that ex-
listed between this country and a large
number of other countries prior to the
enactment of the Wilson bill. The dis
elimination against American -four now
practiced in several European coun-
tries, notably France and Germany, will
also be considered, n steps may be
taken to induce the government to head
off the movements in Denmark and
Great Britain that contemplate the
passing of heavy import duty on the
American product. 1t is probable that
the conference will indorse the bill now
before congress. and fathered by Rep
resentative w. S. Kerr of the Four
teenth Ohio (Mansfeld, district, which
seeks to ecure better foreign markets
for grain, the products of grain and
other agricultural products of the
United States. and which is calculated
to lead to an abolition of the prohibitory
duties now enforced by Mexico and
some of the South American countries.

A Valuable Piece of Land.

Chamberlain, S. D., Feb. 1.-The can-
collation. Of the allotment of Willie
Knee. a Sioux Indian belonging at Low
err Brule agency, by the commissioner
of the general land Office upon recon-
mendation of the commissioner OF Indi-
an affairs, has caused a lively scramble
on the part of various land seekers for
possession of the land, and although two
Chamberlain men promptly entered 1t
as homesteads, much litigation will re-
suit, as there are four or five other
claimants who will allege settlement
prior to the date of cancellation. The
tract embraces a little over half a sec
ton, and Is situated al the conjunction
of the White and Missouri rivers, In the
Chamberlain land district. The fact
that the land Is almost as smooth as a
board, and has a gradual slope, renders
1t an ideal tract for irrigating purposes.
The reason why 1t is sc eagerly coveted
is because on the highest point are
mammoth natural artesian springs,
which by judiclous management are
sufficient to furnish water for irrigating
practically all of the land. The springs
answer all the purposes of a small ar
tesian well, the tract being in this par
ticuIar unique and distinct from n
other tract of equal area in the state.

nally arranged that the half-yearly
meeting should take place In the second
week In March at ST. Louis, but, as a re-
suit of the serious condition of affairs
growing u of the commission question.
1t was decided by all concerned that an
immediate conference was necessary. g
Several weeks ago some twenty repre-
sentative managers In Chicago, Cincin-

and o.her cities signed a declaration
that they would not be bound by the
rules of the union regarding commits

a powerful organization. was threat
ened with disruption. The managers In
question. however. finally agreed to sus-
pend definite action pending the conven-
ton of today.
The main question to be considered Is
that of commission in excepted cities"
Some time ago the union established
commissions at Ii and 25 per ceni in the
cities named and others. This, how
ever. induced considerable dissatisfac-
ton on the part of agents who con-
tended that business was being taken

FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.

Estimated That over w Millions
in Property Were Burned.
Philadelphia, Feb. "a disastrous
fire broke out early this morning in the
Hazeitine building on Chestnut street
and entirely destroyed that structure
and the adjoining building OF the Amer
lean Baptist Publication society. The
Lafayette hotel was also badly dam
aged. No lives were lost, but several
persons were injured. The total losses
will aggregate over 81. 000, 900 and pos
sibly double hat amount. The build
ings damaged by fire and water and
falling walls were the four story dry
goods house of Homer LIE Boutiller &
Co., Nos. 1872 and 1414; he dwelling
house at 1922 Chestnut street, owned by
the Wistar estate, and the Hotel Lafay-
cite al Broad and Samson streets. On
either side of the main entrance to the
Hazeltine building were the piano ware-
room of Hallett & Davis at 1416 and OF
Steinway & Co, al 1418. The two Bap.
list societies lost large and valuabl
collections OF paintings. books and
curios. The detailed losses have not
yet been made up, but a conservative esq
timate places the aggregate at close to
81, 1000, 900. 1t is thought that this is al
most fully covered by insurance.
There were about $50 guests in the La.
fayette hotel, which is in the rear of the
destroyed buildings.
Olga Nethersole, the actress. her
brother, Louis F. Nethersola, and sew.
eral members of her company. were
among the guests. While there was
considerable confusion in the hotel, the
guests barring a few fainting women.
remained cool and all were removed in
safety.
Only the eighth and ninth floors nf
the hotel We're burned, although the
back part of the building from cellar to
rooof was badly damaged by smoke
and water.

The South Dakota Justice Forced

Allesed--state Shocked AZ
the Revelations.

Pierre, S. D., Feb. 1.-The unexpected
resignation of Judge Keliam of the SUI
court was a surprise to everyone.
Developments yesterday caused a big
%sensation here, 1t has come out that
the resignation was requested by the
governor on the ground OF gross immor-
atty. He is accused of taking liberties
with a child and taking advantage Of
another mans wife while she was un-
der the influence of morphine. The re-
luctance Of h victims to be dragged
into the publicity of the courts Is the
only reason he is not now under arrest.
The following editorial In h local daily
expresses the general sentiment here:
1T seems incredible that a mar who
has been so honored by his fellow citi-
zens, and hat even when the honor was
bestowed at a time when his integrity
was being severely assailed in connec-
ton with the Chamberlain bank fall
ure, should alike forget the duty he
owed to the people of the state who had
thus honoaoj him, and that more sacred
duty. h of husband and father, as
to stoop to acts that would bring the
blush of shame to Mephistopheles'
cheek. To think that in a supreme Judge
of a state, the highest legal tribunal of
q commonwealth, he should have such q
rival. If the reports are true Alphonse
G. kellam outdevils the devil.

express the acts OF which

The MURDERED ITALIANS
Message on the Colorado Killings

President Suggests That Provision
BE Made FOL the Families of
the Victims = A Letter
From Sec. Olney.

Washington. Feb. a. The president
accompanying correspondence relating
to the killing of three Italians, labor
ers. at Walsenburg, Col, in March last.
In his message the president suggests
that congress make provision for the de-
pendent families of the victims. A let
ter from Secretary Olney to the presi-
dent Is enclosed with the message. 1t
reads:
II hand you herewith copies Of the
correspondence on file in this depart
ment relating to the case of the Italians
lynched at Walsenburg, Col, In March,
1896.
The facts are without dispute and no
or argument can add to the
force OF their appeal to the generous
consideration OF congress. Three per-
sons We're killed outright. while two 9TH
ers sustained injuries of a character,
Nhe most disabling as we'll as painful.
The only question would seem to be as
to he amount of the gratuity in each
case. which must, OF course, be wholly
In the discretion of congress, to whom
" a hardly be necessary to cite the
statutes OF many states OF the union
fixing the maximum to he exacted In
the case of death caused by negligence
at the sum OF IS. O0O."
The correspondence which accompan-
les the message consists of q letter ex.
changed between Baron Fava, the de-
part1nent of state and Governor Nc
1ntyre of Colorado. Baron Fava, on
March 10, 1895, the day following the
lynchtng. called it to the attention of
the state department on the basis OF
newspaper accounts. immediate action
was taken by Acting Secretary Uhl to-
ascertain the facts in the matter and
this was SO ga tisfactory to Baron Fava
that he repeatedly expressed his belief
that the federal government would not
hesitate to do all that could
be done to bring the guilty parties to
Justice. Under instructions from Baron
Fara, the Italian consul at Denver
made an investigation Of the circum-
stances attending the lynching and also
OF the political status of the victims.
Governor Mcintyre and the Italian con.
sui agreed that Of the three Italians
lynched, one, Lorenzo Andinino, was
~naturalized and the other two. Vittone
Stanslao INC Vincinzo Ronchietto, had
simply secured their first papers of ma
turalization and were not, therefore, in
full possession OF United States citizen.

the most remarkable admissions ever
made In connection with cycling was
that which is attributed to w. J. Wal
ford, the young man, who up to a short
time ago. represented the business end
OF Zimmerman's Australian tour. In
an Interview reported to have been had
at the cycle show in New York, Mr..
Walford is accused of having stated
that ne had given Parsons, the Aus
trallan champion, $25 to permit thinner
man to win a race. And" this ex-
traordinary young man is said to have
remarked, apparently with great glee,
as il he had performed a most pleasing
and laudable little act of kindness. 1.-THE
champion knew nothing about It." Com
menting upon this statement the writer
of the story remarks: $50 the cham-
pion did not beat the Australian on his
merits" He then goes on to say: Mr..
Walford blames Mrs. Zimmerman for
all the bad luck and Is severe In his con-
demnation Of her. He charges Ter with

THE NATIONAL DAIRY UNION

Special COMMITTEES Lobbying at
Washington.
Washington. Feb. 3.-The special COM
altttee of the National Dairy Union, that
has been here for sevsral days in the in
crest of protective legislation, was rein
torced today by a large number of but
ter and cheese makers from different
parts of the country, anticipatory of the
hearing set for this afternoon by the
ways and means committee of the house
VI representatives: the question at is
sue being a report ON The bill now pend
ing in Congress. which places filed
cheese in the anne category as oleomar-
gerine n subjects 1t To the same re-
stlictions.
The principal address before the COM
mittee will be made by Mr.. Hatch of
Wisconsin,, chairman of the executive
committee of the National union. He
will submit a mass of statistics showing
that filled cheese has for the last few
years been extensively exported to
England and European countries. and
that as a result the trade in the leglti-
mate and pure product has beer greatly
diminished, whit the regular cheese
makers have fallen into d%isrepute. He
VIII also take h ground that unless
some restrictions are placed upon this
traffic tie pure cheese trade, both at
home n abroad. will be absolutely
ruined. as 1t is Impossible to compete
with the prices at which the spurious
product is sold.
Other members Of the committee will
lay stress that no restrictions tending
to prevent the manufacture of filed
-, *,
lutely necessary that the imitation
product should be plainly labeled. in
order that consumers at home and
abroad may know what they are buy
ing, and that 1T may not be palmed off
for the genuine article; and the ground
will also be taken hat The filing of filled
cheese as pure cheese is a fraud pure
and simple and as such is amenable to
national legislation
