Mrs. Linn Testifies to a Conspiracy
at Portsmouth.

Norfolk, Va, April 14.-From the evil
dence given in the Portsmouth mayor's
court to-day hy Mrs. Linn, wife of one of
the accused burglars, Mayor Baird issued
warrant for Ellis Jobson, charging him
with setting fire to Whitehurst's Hall on
the 9th of March, at which time the
Catholic ChW CHI in that city and so many
other buildings were burned. Special
OFFICER Warren and Deputy Sheriff Alb.
Dott were given the warrant and they To-
Gated their man at the sewer pumphouse,
arresting and taking him to the station
house. where he was locked up for exami-
nation. Jobson is defiant and came in
whistlin9 lively air. Mrs. Linn testified
that the conspiracy for the burning of
Whitehurst Hall was concocted in her
house last January by these men-Edwin
Dolman. Jobson and Frank Linn-in Or
der to cover robberies in other parts of
the city.
The woman is by far the most impor-
tant witness in the case and it is upon
her evidence mainly that the State relies
to deal out Justice on the wrong doors.
The authorities naturally fear that she

accused men, consequently Mayor Baird
directed that she be given quarters in the
city Jail at night but allowed to 60 at

not accept these conditions that she he
committed to cell as a witness. Her
revelations have caused intense excite

men, NIL OF whum are under arrest.

SIGNS OF COMPROMISE.
Turkey Said TO be Showing Herself
Friendly to Greece.

London, April i4.-The Athens CORE.
spondent of the Daily Chronicle says that
compromise is evidently in the air. Tur.
key is showing herself exceptionally
friendly to Greece, and it is believed in
diplomatic circles that the two parties, if
left alone, would settle the affair in as
many days.
Advices from Epirus represent the sit
ution there as reign of terror. The
Turks are laying the country waste with
fire and sword. The Valia of Janina has
ordered every Christian to give the Turk
ish army ten sheep and II bullock.
The Athens corr espondent of the Times
says chat the commanding officers of the
Greek troops in Thessaly and Epirus have
been ordered to telegraph to the ministry
OF war next Thursday detailed reports as
to the efficiency of the troops and to point
out any deficiencies.
He adds that Assim Bey called yester-
day (Tuesday) on NJ. Skouzes, the minis
ter of foreign affairs. and repeated his
former assertion that Greek regulars par
tlclpated in the recent invasion, declaring
that a colonel of the Greek army had been
identified among them. NJ. Skouzes
strenuously denied both allegations, and
no further communications have passed
on the subject between the two govern

must be concentrated action and an avoid
ance OF all entangling alliances to insure
success.
We regret and deprecate the disposition
of some to have the party at this time de-
clare what it will or will not do in the
future as to the best methods for
strengthening the party and advancing
its principles. No one can at this time
forecast with certainty what would be
the proper course for our party TO pursue
in convention assembled three years
hence. Therefore, there is but one safe
course, it seems to us, for every true Pop
Mist to pursue ut this time, namely, to
do all in his power to impress our princi-
pies upon the country and to bring re-
cruits into the party and stand ready
when the peoples representatives meet in
convention to do what then seems wisest
and best to accomplish the ends for which,
we are all striving. The Populist press
can be most powerful factor to bring
this about. When the press of'any party
is united and aggressive, the party itself
is united and aggressive. Therefore, we
appeal to every true Populist editor to
cease the suicidal course of firing at each
other. Turn your guns on the common
enemy, and let each issue of your paper
be full of articles discussing the tenets of
the party, as laid down in the last ma.
tional platform. Let there he no relax
ing of efforts, but n united and steady
advance all along the line, and victory
will crown our efforts.

not hope to enlist popular sympathy in
any disappointment he may feel about
the bestowal of patronage.
"Parties and issues are not made to
order. They arise out of conditions.
The condition of the masses of the peo-
pie of this country is such that they will
continue to demand relief from the
hydra headed economic desposim which
is steadily and rapidly impoverishing
and degrading them. They demand, as
leaders, men who will cut and slash, not
at one, or even at two, but all the heads
of this monster-men who will fight
monopoly and privilege in every form
men who will fight protection and the
just taxation, direct taxation, not only
on incomes but on inordinate wealth
men who will take the transportation
tyranny by the throat-1nen who will
demand that railroads shall be in fact
what they are in theory, public high
ways-men who will limit corporate
activity to minimum-men who will
put the makers and operators of trusts
in the penitentiary. where they belong
men who are not afraid to trust the
people even with the power of direct
legislation men deeply resolved that
the masses shall have the benefit of
improved methods of production, and
that few shall not own all the property
of this country-men who realize that
the burning issue of the hour is indui-
trial, financial. economic emancipation.
These are the views of the men of
Kansas who, calling themselves what
they nigh united in voting and carrying
the State first for Weaver, the Populist
and next for Bryan. the Democrat.
Petty, designing and disgruntled politi-
clans whose goal is the pie counter, will
find that they can not easily separate
these allies. To separate now would
be to destroy all hope of popular ameli-
oratiou by peaceful methods.
1T may therefore. be safely predict
ed that the present coalition will be
maintained with the result ultimately Of
amalgamating its elements into a COM
posit mass. Sore headed and disapoint-
ed men, if they expect any political
future, will do well to remember that
the condition of the people will deter
mine the course of men and parties, and
that unless some unforeseen good for
tune shall come to this country, the
present political situation will not only
con tinue but will be intensified.
mot that one party shall be wholly
ignored, as in 1892, but that all III sym
pathy with the masses shall be recog-
nized as in 1896, remembering always
