A. F. KELLEY PLEADS
He "NOt Guilty" to Charge
of Grand Larceny.
Reserves the Right to Demur --- Bail
Fixed at $4,000 Pending Trial, which
Begins To-day.


From the Minneapolis journal Of June
At ten minutes before 10 o'clock this
morning after the third postponment of
the arraignment, Austin F. Kelley APP
peared before Judge Simpson to plead to
the Indictment returned against him by
the grand jury.
He was accompanied by his attorneys,
William A. Lancaster and Hazen Il.
Parker of the firm of Shaw, Cray, Lancas-
ter ~ Parker, and stepped up to the clerks
desk with firm but quiet step. He waited
quietly as Clerk Royce read the indictment
to him which charged him with larceny in
the first degree, in embezzling, while act
ing as the agent, servant, trustee and
bailee Of Lydia NJ. Blood, the sum Of 1903.
The indictment was very short and brief,
and was signed with the names Of Lydia
NJ. Blood and John Il. Blood, as witnesses,
Isaac Z. Lehman, as foreman of the grand
jury, aflixing his name to the document.
After reading the Indictment, Mr.. Royce
asked the accused, "What is your plea,
guilty or not guilty.
There was moments silence, in which
the few persons in the room listened to
catch the reply. Presently, Mr.. Lancaster
spoke up, saying that plea would be en-
tered with the privilege OF withdrawing it
should the accused desire to do so.
~ enter plea of not guilty." spoke up
Mr.. Kelley, in clear tone, and the plea
was recorded.
There was nothing at all out of the Ordi-
nary in the indictment or arragnment
save the prominent position in church, So
cial and financial circles occupied by the
defendant
After the entering of the plea, there
were a few preiminares to arrange, such
as the date of trial and bail. The case was
set for June Is, and the bail was fixed at
$1,000. The bond was Immediately pre-
sented, signed by Willard r. Cray, mem
Der of the firm Of attorneys, who repre-
seuted Mr.. Kelley, and ). w, Melendy.
County Attorney Peterson had approved
the bond and Judge Simpson affixed his
official signature which gave Mr.. Kelley
his freedom from custody. After this had
been done, Mr.. Kelley and his attorneys
left the room and passed down the corri-
dors of the courthouse, leaving the court
house Immediately.
Much criticism has been INDUCED in over
the leniency shown Mr., Kelley in the mat
ter of arragnment. but County Attorney
Peterson stated this morning that he had
the personal assurances of both Mr. Ian
caster and Mr.. Parker that Mr.. Kelley
would be present this morning, and that
there was really no call for the criticism
offered.
Lydia NJ. Blood and John r. Blood
the complainants in this case, are of Bel
lows Falls.

A member of Gen. Miles's escort which
accompanies him on his journey, under
taken to study the military operations in
the war between Turkey and Greece, has
written home an account of the party's re-
ception by the Sultan in COnstantinople,
in which occurs this description of the
personal appearance of the "Great Assass-
in" THE Sultan is not a bad looking
man; ne is about 30 years of age. He is
quick, bright and alert in search for knowl-
edge. His manner is superb-calm, easy,
graceful, cordial and very dignifed. He
works very hard, experimenting and man
aging personally almost every detail of his
government The Sultan asked Gen.
Miles many questions about the American
army and showed great interest in every
thing told him. OF the war with Greece
he piously said that "With the aid of God,
who is always just, our arms have been
successful. | did not wish to fight, but
the Greeks forced me to take active meas
ures. God has helped me- This reminds
one of the equally pious fervor with which
the Emperor William l., during the wal
with France in 1S70-7l, used to wire to
the empress his thanks to God for the
victories over Napoleon. In some respects
Moslems and Christians are not so very
different, after all. They both have a
streak of human nature running through
them evidently.

Another Treaty for the Annexation of
Hawaii.

1t was a surprising piece of news which
came at the end of last week in the an
nouncement that negotiations were again
i'm progress for the annexation of Hawaii
to the United States and that treaty to
this end would soon be drawn up. The
event eliminated sooner than was antici-
pated, for the treaty was signed in the
state department at Washington Wednes-
day morning by Secretary Sherman on the
part of the United States and Minister
Hatch and others on the part Of Hawaii,
and was submitted to the Senate the same
day, accompanied by a message from Pres
ident Mckinley recommending its ratiica-
ton.
The treaty provides that the government
of the Hawaiian Islands cedes to the United
States absolutely and forever all rights of
sovereignty in and over the Hawaiian
Islands and its dependencies, aud that
these islands shall become an integral
part of the territory of the United States.
The government of Hawaii also cedes to
the United States all the public lands, pub
lie buildings and public property Of every
description. The Hawaiian Islands shall
be admitted to the Union as a territory of
the United States local laws to be passed
by local legislature, but subject to the
approval Of the President. Until Congress
shall apply the laws of tn" United States
to the Islands, the present laws of Hawaii
are to govern. Further immigration of

the larger colleges have had so far-reaching
an influence as Kimball Union academy at

at Windsor, for the purpose OF founding an
academy to assist in the education Of young
men. \ liberal endowment fund from
Daniel Kimball of Meriden determined the

building was erected and the school was
opened in ISIS. Some years later, by the
bequest of Mrs. Kimball, a female semi
nary was endowed, which was united with
the academy, and a regularly organized
female department went into operation in
1910. At the 18th anniversary of this in
sttution the following facts were made
public; "Besides the large number of non

1t is confidently asserted. in Washington
that a program for inaugurating currency
reform, which has been prepared by the
President and Secretary Gage, will be put
in operation within the next two or three
weeks. The President is ready to act at
any time, but Republican leaders have ad-
vised him that it would be well not to en-
danger the passage of the tariff bill by urg-
ing action upon Congress on the currency
before the bill has passed the Senate. In
due time, however, the President will send
to Congress special message, which he
has already prepared, asking the appoint
ment OF a currency commission, and point
ing out the necessity for the adoption of a
more elastic currency and stronger safe
guards for the treasury gold than now eX-
ist. This message will lie upon the table
in the House, but will be promptly fol-
lowed up by the introduction OF a bill car
rying out the recommendations of the
President. EN-Lieut. Gov. Stone of Penn
sylyania, the chairman OF the committee
On banking in the last Congress, has al
ready prepared such a bill, but several
points are left open for further discussion
In its general terms the bin will provide
for the appointment of commission OF
eleven members who will consider the
whole currency question, and who will be
required to report at an early day after
Congress meets in regular session next

Republicans of Greater New York Have
Model Candidate for Mayor.

a Model Candidate Tor Mayor.
Seth Low has written letter which is
generally accepted as settling the question
of his candidacy for the mayoralty of the
Greater New York. He says in substance
that he will run provided there is a general
call for him. His candidacy will force
Tammany and the Brooklyn Democracy to
nominate a high class man. Mr.. Low is a
rare combination of business man and
scholar, of reformer and politician. His
ideals are high, but he is eminently practi-
cal He has character, experience, strength
and maturity. He represents Brooklyn as
we'll as Manhattan, business as well as ed
ucation, labor as well as capital. 1t will
be impossible for Tammany, however to
discover a man who will take the pledge of
absolute political independence given by
MI. Low, and who, at the same time,
would satisfy the judgment of the better
element in the Democratic party and meet
the demands of the BIyanites. Mr.. Low,
therefore, ought to prove stronger than
the best man Tammany could name against
him.
Mr.. Low is less than so years old, a son
of one of the leading men of Brooklyn.
After graduation from Columbia he was
associated with his father He founded
the bureau of charities in Brooklyn, and
in 1881 was elected the reform mayor of
that city. He served two terms and gain
ed national fame by his administration
of the city government. He was the first
mayor in the Empire state to introduce the
system of competitive examination for APP
pointments to municipal offices. For sew
eral years he has been president of Colum-
bia university. He gave 81 100000 TO that
institution, and his work has brought it a
new era Of growth and usefulness.

A mildly sensational incident of the
tariff debate last week was the action Of
Senator McEnery of Louisiana in voting
with the Republicans on the sugar sched-
ule on Friday and Saturday, followed on
the latter day, by speech in which he de-
Tended his action, declared himself pro
tectionst, and said that he represented the
sentiment of the Democratic party in Loui-
siana in being one. The party was com
mitted to protection on Democratic lires,
and, he continued wiilfearnest eloquence,
its principles "were not directed to the de-
struction Of our industrial system, the put
ting out Of furnace fires, the silencing Of
the busy hum of our looms, or the whrring
of our wheels; or, worse than all, to the
payment of a premium to foreign pauper
