FOUNTAIN MURDER CASE.


HILLSBORO. ". NJ. June 2.-The politi-
cal phases OF the Fountain murder case de-
veloped to-day. The court refused to enter
tain matters relating to political parties.
The testimony showed the strong political
feeling against Lee and Gililand. but did
not connect them directly with the Foun-
tain murder. Speaking to an objection. At
torney Fall said: Garrett was ousted from
the sheriff's Office because he refused to
murder Lee and Gilliland. and other MUIR
derers were put in. We will show that they
refused Lee hearing, waiting for the adj
ministration to change. Garrett said: The
Masons' lodge was paving the expenses of
the investigation. You, addressing Attor-
ney Fall, and others had been shooting at
each other good deal. 1 believe 1t was
called political feeling"
Here ex-Sheriff Garrett startled the listen
ers by saying that Attorney Fall had gone
with him to Santa Fe and got two county
commissioners removed that he Gar
retD could be appointed sheriff. Garrett
then recited how Kearney was killed and

that Garrett should leave and tell the truth

STATE BONDS FORGED
FRAUDULENT ARKANSAS SECURITIES
DISCOVERED AT NEW YORK.
$175,OOO Held by One Man-State ON
cials Of Opinion that the Swindle
May Aggregate Millions.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, June "A letter OF
inquiry from the executor of a New York
estate addressed to State Treasurer Little
has unearthed a bond swindle which al
ready amounts to s175,OOO. and which the
state officials believe may on investigation
run up into the millions. The letter reveals
the fact that fraudulent state bonds have
been successfully fioated, but the extent of
the swindie cannot yet be approximated.
The letter is from William L. Jaques. No.
15S West One hundred and nineteenth
street, New York city, and is as follows:
Dear Sir-As executor and heir of my
fathers estate. Edward j. Jaques, deceased,
/ desire to make inquiries regarding some
seventy bonds, per cent, of the State of
Arkansas, series issued 1870, of which the
inclosed list are the numbers and now held
here The bonds are under an agreement
for settlement between the State of Ar
kansas and the bondholders, to be consum-
mated in this present year, 1899. Will you
kindly let me know at your earliest con-
venience what the prospects are looking to
settlement and any information concern
ing the bonds that would be of service to
me in the settlement OF my fathers estate,
/ would appreciate greatly"
Then follows a schedule of seventy bonds
in the possession of Mr.. Jacques of series
issued Jan. 1, 1870 bearing per cent. inter-
est. Seventeen of these bonds, ranging in
bond record to have been redeemed and can
celed. with the exception of two, which are
now in the permanent school fund and act
ualiy in the vaults of the state treasury
How Mr.. Jacques could have the same
bonds in his possession is a riddle that can
be solved only on the supposition that they
are counterfeits. Mr.. Little points out the
fact that bond of that issue could have
been readily forged by changing the num-
bers. The remaining fifty-three bonds are
as valueless as the paper on which they are
printed, as they come within the limits of
those repudiated by the Fishback amend
ment- 1t develops. therefore, that bonds
with face value Of $4,000. including ac-
crued interest coupons, held in good faith as
a genuine asset of the Jacques estate, are
worthless.
The appearance OF these bonds is taken
by the state authorities as evidence of a
gigantic swindle having at some time in
past years been perpetrated. and the State
Bond Board will endeavor TO ascertain to
what length 1t was carried and. If possible,
locate the guilty parties.

State Department officials have been

news to them. Secretary Hay said tonight
that the question of cession was not one
concerning which the United States would
be consulted.

MADRID, June 2.-The Queen Regent
opened the Cortes to-day with the usual
ceremonial, and in the speech from the
throne announced that the Marianne. Caro-
line and Palaos islands were ceded to Ger
many by the late Spanish Cabinet During
the course of the speech, her Majesty said:

rows which have wrenched our hearts

country are reawakened. We must pre-
serve sadness in order TO derive experience
therefrom. but the woes of our country are

IL before the Cabinet There remained un-
der our control the Carolines, Palaos and
most Of the Marianne islands. But the for
mer Cabinet believed 1t useless for Spain
to retain such minor appanages of our an
cient empire and signed with the German
Emperor convention offering to cede these
territories under the law, which would be
submitted Immediately 10 the chamber.
'Our foreign relations are cordial and
friendly. We especially owe to the Pope
recognition OF the many times he has given
US his moral support.
THE most important. most urgent and
most cificult task before you is to balance
the budget and liquidate the debts resulting
from the war through ordinary and perma-
nent sources of income. Thanks to the Sc
verely economic policy projected. the gov
ernment will not ask fresh sacrifices of the
country, except such as can be equitably
divided among all classes. With the ordi-
nary budget will also be presented schemes
to liquidate the charges created by the loss
OF possessions and colonial campaigns.
The Queen Regent then referred to the
financial measures and expressed confidence
that the nation would show the same res
isnation during peace as 1t showed during
the war, adding: For the times are crit
ical and 1t is impossible during the present
session to do all that is necessary. But
during the next session there will be prof.
