PATHETIC SCENE IN COURT,
Eevere Sentence ofEugene Moore, Ex-
State Auditor of Sebraslka.

Eevere Sentence ofEugene Moore, Ex-
State Auditor Of Nebraska.
Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 1,--Ex-State Au-
ltor Eugene Moore, found guilty on
Monday of embezzling $4,000 state
funds, was yesterday sentenced to
eight years in the penitentiary. The
Bentence was surprise and crush
Ing blow to the prisoner, who had ex-
pected nothing but nominal punish
ment, and the scene in the court room
was as affecting as it was dramatic,
Moore, with his wife standing by his
side, pleaded with the court for mercy,
making long and somewhat rambling
statement. At its conclusion he sank
in his chair, sobbing bitterly, his wife
trying vainly to comfort him.
Judge Cornish, visibly affected, spoke
slowly of the crime committed and of
the entire absence of extenuating cir
cumstances. He said he believed no
less than ten years in the penitentiary
would satisfy outraged justice. AS he
paused Mrs. Moore threw her arms
about her husbands neck and shouted,
"Oh, please, judge, have mercy on him;
have mercy"
Judge Cornish then said:
"On account of your devoted wife and
your loving children l will reduce the
sentence by two years. Therefore. the
sentence of the court is that you shall
be confined in the pententiary for the
term of eight years at hard labor, pay
the costs of prosecution, and be fined
in the sum of 1886 TO-"
Moore's attorneys will appeal to the
supreme court. Moore was twice elec-
ted state auditor, and his family moved
in exclusive society.

The Senator Claims 100000 DAM
ages From Baltimore American.
Baltimore, Dec. Limited States
Senator George L. Wellington. Of this
state. yesterday appeared before the
grand jury and charged that he had
been criminally libeled by the Balti-
more American, giving color to the
charges that he was using patronage
to influence the election of a United
States senator to succeed Arthur P.
German. The grand jury presented
General Felix Agnus, the publisher and
editor of The American, for indictment.
Later in the day Senator Wellington
filed suit against General Agnus per-
sonally for 100000 damages.
The article upon which Senator We'll
lington's actions are based was pub
lished in The American on Friday,
Nov. 26, together with an editorial from
the Washington Post of the previous
day. In the latter Senator Wellington
was severely criticized for his general
conduct as a senator of the United
States. and charged with Openly Of
fering to purchase votes for a sena-
torial aspirant through the dispensa-
tion Of patronage"
Senator wellington recently espoused
the cause of Governor Lloyd Lowndes
who is seeking election to the seat in
the United States senate now occu-
pied by Senator German, whose sue
cessor will be chosen by the legisla-
ture which meets on Jan. S, at Annap-

LEGISLATION ON THE CURRENCY.
The Democrats viii Oppose Anything
the Majority May Propose, and Some
Republicans Think 1t VIII Be Wise
Not to Attempt Financial Legislation

MOI TO Attempt Financial LegfSlat lon
Washington. Dec 1.-Members of con.
gress are unusually slow in putting in
their appearance here for the regular
session, which convenes next Monday
UP to this time there have been scarce
ly more than half dozen arrivals each
day. From now on. however, 1t is ex-
pected that the rush will begin, and
that a very full attendance will be in
their places on the opening day Few
of the leaders of either house are here
as yet. This Is especially true of the
house of representatives Neither
Speaker Reed nor Mr.. Dingley the floor
leader of the majority, will reach
Washington until Saturday or Sunday.
With the exception of the pronounced
and radical pro and anti-Cuban con-
sressmen the members of both houses,
as rule, seem to be holding their judg-
ments in allegiance until they ascer-
tain from official sources exactly what
the situation Is as to Cuba.
In the matter of the currency it seems
already established that the Democrats
and their free silver allies will oppose
stubbolnly anything the majority is
likely to propose, and the fact that the
opposition in the senate seems insur-
mountable inclines many of the Re-
publican members of the house to the
opinion that it would be wisdom not to
attempt any legislation whatever. Mr..
Hepburn, of Iowa. is one of these. He
thinks the futility of passing a meas
ure in the senate makes 1t inexpedient
for the house to attempt to put through
n ,ao a,,l h1ei l11
propriety of the Republicans of the
house attempting to make Republican
policy on a subject on which the Re-
publican platform does not speak to
the point He says If the president
should, as reported recommend any
scheme for the retirement of the green
backs it would be beyond the Republic
can platform, and every Republican
would be free to support or oppose 1t
as his judgment indicated.
There is some talk Of a Republican
caucus on this question, many of the
members believing that if currency
measure is to be passed differences
could be most easily adjusted and con-
certed action secured in this way. Mr..
Walker, of Massachusetts,. chairman
of the committee on banking and cur
rency. some time ago sent letter to
every member Of his committee, urg-
ing the Importance of currency legisla-
tion and asking each member to be
prepared as soon after the opening of
the session as possible to work to the
end that some measure may be sub
mitted to the house for action.
Mr.. Hepburn, who is chairman of the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, says he has received many
letters during the recess, particularly
from mercantile bodies, urging action
on the anti-scalping and pooling bills,
and he expects both these questions to
receive early attention.

DEFIANT LITTLE HAYTL.
A Sharp Answer to Germany's De-
mands For Indemnity. .-.
WILL NOT SUBMIT TO BULLYING.

Inc LltUie Republic KefuseS to NegO-
tiate With tho Charge d'Afraires
Who Made the Demands Germany
VIII Not Send Warship to Hayti.
Washington, Dec. 1.-Reports that
came to the state department late yes
terday afternoon from Hayti were to
the effect that considerable excitement
prevailed there and that the situation
was grave. For this reason it was de-
termined to hasten the departure of
the Marblehead, and the naval officials
were communicated with to this end.
The impression appeared to prevail In
Port au Prince that German warship
was rapidly approaching the place.
Of course 1t is stated that the Marble
head goes solely for the purpose or pro-
tecting American interests that might
be threatened by the outbreak of dis
orders in Hayti.
The latest advices from German
sources, however, indicate that no oc-
casion will be given for friction be-
tween the United States and Germany
on account of the Haytien difficulty and
that the matter will be adjusted.
1t developed that Hayti had sent a
reply to Germanvs demands which is
somewhat remarkable for firmness in
view of the difference in size between
the two powers. The Haytian note
makes 1t clear that the republic Is
ready to discuss the merits of the con-
troversy, but does not desire to have
Germany pass judgment In the first
place, demand an indemnity, and there
after discuss the merits. Moreover
Hayti gives notice to Germany that
the German charge daffaires to Hayti,
who made the recent demands, is per-
soma non grata. and that it is impos-
sibe for Hayti to conduct further ne
gotiations with him.
1t is stated that he offended against
all rules of propriety and official eti-
quette by going directly before the
president Of Hayti, and in loud and
angry tones and insulting manner
threatened dire consequences unless
immediate reparation was made to
Germany. This personal affront to
Hayti's chief executive is regarded as
touching the honor and self respect
of the country. and is felt to call for
an apology. Under such circumstances
the Haytian government has expressed
Il Willingness to negotiate a settle
ment of the entire case at Berlin, thus
removing it from the hands of the oh
jectionable German official now in
Hayti.

THE BRITISH IN CHINA.
John Butl Secures Another Strip OF
Chinese Territory.

London, Dec. 1.-The morning papers
assert that China has practically
agreed to cede to England a strip of
territory near Hong Kong and all the
surrounding islands in order to enable
England to fortify them securely and
increase the garrison. 1t Is expected
that convention covering the agree
ment will soon be signed.
Hong Kong, which is an island be-
longing to the British off the southeast
coast of China, about rs miles from
Canton, was ceded to Great Britain by
the treaty of Canton in 1871 and again
by the treaty of Marking in 1912. 1t
is the great center of the foreign trade
of China. The island is separated from
the mainland by strait, which at Ly-
moon pass is only about quarter Of a
mile wide. A small portion Of the main
land belongs to the British colony.
