Chief Lees last night did not seem at all
satisfied with the manner in which the
Coroner conducted the investigation, and
thought that the exhibits submitted by
him should have been cad to the jury, so
that they, as well as the public, could
know their contents. He instanced the

binted at the embIttered domes ic rela-

by the Democratic Speaker and
Clerk of the Regular Body.
SENATE ALSO In TROUBLE
WHERE THE DEMOCRATS HAVE Sue
CEEDED IN ORGANIZING.
Officers Elected by the PennsyIvani mia
ership Contest in Illinois.

DOVER. Del, Jan. 5.-The Delaware Legis-
lature was organized to-day amid confusion
and turmoil. The seven Kent county Repub-
licans, against whose contest for seats the
Court of Errors and Appeals yesterday de-
cided. were denied recognition, and after
f~ruitless protest the Republicans left the
hall and organized a ''rump' House at the
Hotel Richardson. There they elected DIR.
T. c. Moore speaker and Charles Hastings
clerk. After notifying the Senate that they
were ready to receive any communicated
from that body and receiving no reply the
body adjourned to meet next Friday after
noon.
The Kent countians were led by DR..
George w. Marshall, chairman of the Re
publican county who vainly APP
pealed to the speaker and clerk of the regu-
lar House to accept their credentials. When
they appealed to the Republican senators
to retire from the hall and organize an
other body Senators Pearce and John NJ. c..
Moore refused to do so, although il is
charged tonight that they had agreed to
do SO in case Senator j. Frank Alice, of
Kent, was not recognized.
The Senate was also organized by the
Democrats, Samuel Is. Meredith, whose seat
was i'm dispute. being permitted to vote,
while Alice was not. This makes the vote
) TO 4 in favor of the Democrats. After
participating in the vote for temporary
chairman the Republicans refused to vote,
except in the case of the chaplain, when
John NJ. G. Moore voted for Rev. Il. Il.
Revelle. who was elected. Senator Handy
.championed the cause of the Republicans,
but his colleagues remained mute. Before
adjournment Senator Alrichs f1led a pro-
test against the right of Mr.. Meredith TO
vote on temporary organization. but no ac-
ton was taken thereon. After adjourn
ment the Republican senators held Il con
ference in the Statehouse parior, during
which Senators Handy and Alice accused
Senator George Fisher PearCe OF treachery
and of playing into the hands of the DEM
ocrats. Pearce made no defense.

Memorandum On the recognition of
Foreign Governments by This Coun-
try Presented by Mr.. Hale.
CHARLES GOWNS MURDER
CORRESPONDENCE ON THE SUBJECT
TRANSMITTED TO THE SENATE.
Representative Moneys Explanation
of His Absence from Havana Cap
tain General weyIer's Plans.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Dec. SIT begins TO look
as though the Cuban resolutions were not
going TO be passed in the Senate. Senator
Lodge admitted as much this afternoon,
and said that the committee on foreign rela.
tions would come TO a conclusion on pro-
gramme at its meeting tomorrow. The
fact, patent to the whole world by this
time. that the committee went off half
cooked in reporting the Cameron resolution,
is now recognized by members Of tina COM
mittee. and in consequence there is a de-
sire on the part OF the committee to beat
a dignified retreat if the way opens. Ii
may be found neces sary TO make a demon
s~tration in support of the dignity of the
Senate position. but the opinion now pre-
walls that nothing substantial will result
from the discussion. With a certainty i'm
view that Congress will not take an ag-
gressive action on Cuba this session. inter-
est in that issue is manifestly waning.
Senator Hale to-day presented TO the Sen
ate "A memorandum on the method of rec
oenition of foreign governments and for
eign states by the government of the United
States from 1883 to 1897" which. notwith-
standing the document makes no such
claim. is unquestionably intended to bear
on the question of the recognition of Cuba.
Assuming that the recognition of the Span
ish-American republics by the United States
and England may be taken as typical, the
conclusions reached are:
First-Defnitive independence cannot be
held TO be established. and recognition is
consequently not legitimate. so long as a
substantial struggle Is being maintained
by the formerly sovereign state for the
recovery of it's authority. and that
SfCOn0-A mere DretpnSiOn on the mart of
so inadequate as to offer no reasonable
ground for SuppoSing that success may uI-
timately be obtained, is not enough to keep
alive the rights of the state and to pre-
under an obligation to recognize as a state
the community claiming to have become
one.
The memorandum takes up seriatim the
various acts of recognition by. this govern
ment. beginning with the recognition of the
independence of lie French republic i'm
1875, when President Washington received
NJ. Genet. who had been duly accredited as
minister after the proclamation of the re-
public by the convention of 17o2. He calls
attention TO the fact that in order that
this government might be prompt in recog-
milton of the various changes i'm the French
form OF government at this critical period

10 Paris with a blank for that purpose.

day sent to the Senate the correspondence
bearing on the death of Charles Gown. a

ST. PAUL PANIC ENDED.
DepOsitors i'm Banks Getting over
Their Fright of Monday.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 5.-In banking circles to-
day it seemed almost as if the scare had
gone with the blizzard, for the banks were
much less worried by Withdrawals. The
banks that closed yesterday were in charge
of their clerical forces, making up the re-
ports. Maurice Auerbach, as receiver, took
the place of Bank Kenyon in
charge of the Allemania, his bond for $780,
900 being filed this morning. The r%eorgani-
zation committee of the stockholders of the
Bank of Minnesota is meeting with heavy
depositors to devise a method of reorgani-
cation. Thirty depositors, with SlIo,oW In
the bank. were at yesteray's meeting. The
depositors of the Union Stock Yards Bank,
at South st. Paul. are to meet later in the
week to consider the subject of reorganiza-
ton. The receivers report shows the bank
TO be i'm good condition. The January meet
ing of the directors of the Second National
Bank yesterday declared a semi-annual
dividend of Z per cent. This bank has 81
per cent. of it's deposits on land i'm cash.
The other national banks made similar
showings. The savings bank, for the pro-
lection of depositors. is still occurring. sixty
DAYS notice for withdrawal of deposits.
and this. together with the strong showing
of the other banks, has had a quieting ef-
feet on the general public.
John l.. Bradley, "A banker and creditor
of the Germania Bank, came before Judge
Bum to-day with an application for the
removal of Peter NJ. Kerst as assignee of
the Germania Bank and the appointment of
some other suitable person in his place.
Judge Bum, after reading the application,
signed an order to show cause, returnable
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Mr.. Brad
ley is understood to be a creditor OF the
bank to the amount OF some s2o.ovo. me
ground upon which the application Is based
is that Mr.. Kerst is an officer OF the bank,
and as such ought not TO act as assignee.
When the matter comes up for hearing be
fore Judge Bum it is understood that Mr..
Childs. the attorney general. will join In
the application i'm behalf of the State. The
latter will ask for the appointment OF a
receiver.
At "A special meeting of the board of di-
rectors of the &c mania Bank, held to-day

adopted That p committee of seven stock
holders. of which the president shall be ex-
officio chairman. shall be appointed by MIN
