CHARGED WITH CONSPIR.
ACY.
Nine Men Indicted i'm the United
States Court.

The grand jury of the Uuited
States district court found true
bill for conspiracy this morning
against w. l.. Sturkie. John Dun.
lap, Wade Cothran, Henry Mar
tin, j. Z. Jennings, j. @. Sullwell,
j. l.. Reynolds, l.. Tucker and
Thomas Bentley, all of McCor-
mick.
These parties are under indlct,
ment for conspiracy against
James w. Tolbert, clerk in the
postoffice at Mccormick. This
interesting development in the
troubles growing out of the Phoe
nix election riot, was brought
about by United States District
Attorney Abial Lathrop. He was
acting under instructions and in
the discharge of his duty but it is
understood that one Of the Tol-
berts opposed taking the matter
into court.
The general charge is conspir.
acy in violation of United States
statutes 55OS and 551S. There are
seven or eight counts under each
charge. There is no prosecutor in
the case. but the presentment was
made by Mr.. Lathrop in his Off
cial capacity.
The Indictment was presented
to the grand jury yesterday after
noon. James w. Tolbcrt, Mrs.
Mamie j. Tolbert, his wife; and
Mrs. f.. NJ. Palmer, were sworn
iii Us witnesses. and their testi-
mony was taken before the grand
jury yesterday afternoon. OF
course, the proceedings of the
grand jury are not public, and
the facts recited in the testimony
could not be obtained.
Messrs. II. II. Tolbert, James
w. Tolbert, Joe Tolbert and
Thomas w. Tolbert and Mrs.
James w. Tolbert have been in
the city for day or two, and the
fact that their meeting here was
coincident with the session of the
United States district court made
many suspect that there was some
ulterior cause for their being
here, and caused some specula-
ton.
The case will be tried at this
term of court and the result will
be anXiously awaited.

Basin Mills he was two minutes late.
The engineer testified that above Basin
Mills station he ran not more than thirty
miles an hour, and he thinks about
twenty five. just east of the switch at
Basin Mills he got the signal to stop the
trains at Orono and shut off the engine,
but did not at once apply the brakes.
After he shut the engine off he felt the
train twitch behind him and at once ap-
piled the brakes. The cars were then 60
ing Off and the rear trucks of the tender
went off the iron with the mail car. AS
soon as he stopped the engine. Little ran
back to see to the tagging of the other
trains.
Daniel Shea, the fireman on the engine.
testified that the first thing he saw was
the. engineer applying the emergency
brake. The engine had then been shut
off. He looked back and SAW the mail car
off the iron and then noticed the other
cars begin to tip over. Shea heard the
three taps on the bell for stop at Orono,
about q quarter of o mile east of Basin
Mills.
Other train officials testified, giving no
light on the cause and some of the pas
sengers told their story. The hearing
will continue tomorrow.

THE QUEENS SPEECH.

London, February 1.-THE following
is forecast of the speech from the
throne to be read at the opening of Par
Lament tomorrow:
Referring to China the Queen will
speak favorably of the pacific relations
between the Powers and will then point
out the satisfaction experienced at the
conclusion of the treaty of peace between
Greece and Turkey.
Dealing with India complimentary
allusion will be made to the valor and
loyalty of the British Indian troops.
There will be lengthy reference to
the West Indies and the government in
tentions as outlined by the secretary of
state for the colonies. Mr.. Joseph Cham
berlain, and the speech will then express
the hope that the International sugar
conference will have satisfactory results.
The first place in the estimates is de-
voted to the army needs, and the chief
bills promised will be local government
for Ireland and the London municipal
ties bill, providing as announced by the
Marquis of Salisbury, for the modifica-
ton of the London county council, in the
direction of Capitalization.
The speech is expected to be long, but
rather more remarkable for its omissions
than its contents. 1t is quite evident
that no settlement has yet been arrived
at respecting China which will admit of
more than bare mention. The same
applies to the West African difficulty
with France and the troublesome Cretan
negotiations which are again in a state OF
collapse. The public is anxious to learn
more about the Soudan advance but is
not likely to be gratitied to any extent.
1t is understood that there will be long
reference to the West Indies and the
sugar. commission.
No proposal will be made to relieve
the Indian exchequer of the costs of the
campaign on the northwest frontier.
The message addressed specially to the
to the House of Commons will deal
largely with the intended increase in the
army estimates with a view of strength
ening the army and amending the condi.
tions of service. Some IA new bills will
be mentioned mostly of local interest
The Marquis of Salisbury and the other
leaders gave the customary parliamen-
tary dinners last evening. Lord Rose
berry returned to town today from
Naples.

GERMANY's DISCRIMINATION.
Fruit Decree Observation-Disclosures of Adult
terated German Wines.

Washington, February 7.-Ambassador
White at Berlin, by cable to the State
department., has confirmed the press re-
ports of the modification of the decree of
the German government relative to the
importage intoI Germany of American
fresh fruits. 1t is said that there is
now nothing to do on our part but to
means of testing the spirit in which 1t
was conceived, whether it was framed
with the single purpose Of keeping out
diseased fruit, or whether 1T was mere
pretext to prevent competition OF our
fruit with German productions. That
the department. has reason to suspect the
latter is evidenced from the reports that
come to it from United States Consul
Barnes at Colongue, in which the con-
sui points out gross discrimination by the
local officials against American hams.
The United States has had for some
time complaint against Germany which
it has treated in spirit of courtesy. in
great contrast with the abrupt action OF
the German government i'll this last ex-
clusion decree. This complaint touches the
integrity of German wines which are
imported into the United States in great
quantities. The State Department having
had it's attention directed to the state
ments of eminent experts in Germany,
relative to the great adulterage OF these
wines, laid the matter before the German
government and courteously afforded
It an opportunity to defend the charac-
ters of the wines. Only brief and un-
satisfactory answer has been received so
far, and although that was two years
ago. our government has not yet insisted
upon the radical action, though DIP loma-
tically speaking, the question is still
ODen.

There is now no doubt that the yes.

The report, which reached here yes

There was another rumor current here

The HAWAIIAN QUESTION.
President May Issue "a Special Message to
Congress.

President May Issue Special Message 70
Congress.
WASHINGTON, June 10.--The presi-
dent has IN contemplation, according To
a senator who was in consultation with
him yesterday. the submission OF a spe-
cial message to the two houses of con-
gress calling Tor the immediate annexa-
tion of Hawaii as a military necessity.
According TO this senator the message
will be delayed for few days to await
any action that may be taken by Speak
er Reed and the committee on rules, but
is very liHely to go in with as little de-
lay as possible. possibly early next
week.
The purport of the message is a spe-
cial plea for favorable action, calling
attention to the strategic Importance OF
the islands, the great advantage that
would accrue in the present war situ-
alton through securing them and other
points in the Hawaiian policy already
well known.
While the president has not positively
announced his purpose 10 send in the
nessaEo, the senator who talked with
him says tho president IS very favor
able 10 this plan. and It VIII likely bt
adopted and a strong plea made to con-
greas for immediate action.
The matter has not been generally
discussed, and a member OF the foreign
relations committee, when asked about
II yesterday, said he had heard that Il
was proposed, but that 30 far as he
knew had not been finally decided on.
The most significant conference at the
White House yesterday was with Sen
ator Lodge OF Massachusetts and Rep
resentative Newlands of Nevada, the
former one OF the radical Hawaiian an
nexationists in the senate and the latter
the author OF the annexation resolution
now pending. They came together q
few minutes before IL o'clock and hat
q conference with the president on tho
annexation prospect in congress.
