OF the west, delivered an address last
Thursday at the Kirkville Normal school
TO a large audience. Governor Taylor II

10 his delightful ofhand southern way
In turn Governor Stephens responded and
read a carefully prepared paper on Mis-
souri,. Governor Taylor made the re,
spouse for Tennessee. To put MIR. Steph'
ems at perfect ease, this suave orator who
had made hundreds aud hundreds Of I'm

ADMITTED BY BRYAN.
The Colonel Says He Did Participate
I'm a Fake Panther Hunt.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-Col. William Jennings
Bryan yesterday pleaded guilty to the soft
impeachment that he had been the victim
of an imitation panther hunt in Texas.
but he entered an emphatic denial TO the
charge that he and Ex-Governor Hogg, of
ostrich race Mr.. Bryan told the story of
the ostrich race" as follows:
az am In the position OF that Western
congressman who had not been in Wash
ington long before a tale came back 10 his
district that he had tried to blow out the
electric light in his hotel room and had
set his watch by the clock-like cash regis
ter in the street car. When he was con-
fronted with the charges on his return
home he exclaimed: Il will admit that
tried to blow out the electric light. but
I'll be goldarned If / set my watch by the
cash register" So, with me, I'll admit
hunted a panther. but I'll be 'goldarned'
If L rode an ostrich,
THAT panther hunt was a most ladylike
affair, and no one enjoyed the joke more
than the panther did No hunter was hurt.
the horses were not hurt and the panther
was not hurt. After We had hunted him
he was led to his cage again. We do not
hunt, like the imperialists, to Kill some
thing, and when i go out hunting TO do
damage i always hunt Republicans. That
ostrich story was a celever one. 1t has
been built up with all styles OF architec-
ture ever since it started. They had Gov.
Hogg falling off his feathery steed and
They also have located the place where the
ostrich kicked me. and to prove the story
they will show the two ostriches. Like the
panther hunt, 1t was good joke.

NOW A WORLD POWER.

PARIS, Jan. S.-The Temps this evening
devotes it's leading editorial to the Ameri-
can diplomatic victory in the contest TO-
the 'open door, in China. 1t says: "Eu-
rope could not place difficulties in the way
of Washington's proposal. Each power ha
always accompanied the little partitions of
China which have taken place, with the
formal understanding to maintain the con-
ventional status quo. II seems then that
Secretary Hay gives himself superfiuous
task and gained an easy victory since no.
body disputed it. Nevertheless the negotia-
tions are a grave novelty. The United
States is now acting as great worlC
power. 1t has emerged from it's time-hon-
ored isolation. 1t means that the Monroe
doctrine has fallen like a part of the great
wall of China. President Mckinley and hi
Secretary of State have FASTENED this in
ternational revolution by their wars and
diplomacy. They have assured themselves
a place in history by taking the RESPONSE
bility for the assumption of American
rights and obligations as great power"

Roland B. Moiineux for the murder of Mrs.
Katherine j. Adams brought the hope
thak the prosecution would get through

timony.
Morris Hermann. member of the firm
in Newark fer which Mr.. Molireux was
superintendent. said that the firm of Nor
ris Hermann & Co. went into the cry
color business in 1896 with Mr.. Mo.ipeIx

the ease with which cyanide OF mercury,
the poison which is alleged t. have killed
Mrs. Adams, could be proc by com
bination of dry colors.
Edwin b. Hay, of Washington, testified
as an expert in handwriting. He gave It
as his opinion that the letters signed 'Rar-
net and Cornish and the admitted
handwriting were written by the same

WARRANT FOR HARRELL
wHALLEN swEARs 1T OUT, CHARG-
ING A MONETARY FRAUD.
False Pretenses Used I'm Putting
WhaIlen in a Bad Light-Bradiey
Nominated for Senator.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Jan. s.-Col John H.
Whallen, who is now under bond on a
charge of offering $500 to Senator s. B.
Harrell for the latter's vote against Will
liam Goebel in the organization of the Leg
islature, to-day swore out warrant
against Harrell, charging the latter with
obtaining money under false pretenses.
Whalen filed a lengthy affidavit in which
he claims to have been a victim of mis-
placed confidence. He states that Senator
Harrell came TO him and said that he was
against Goebel, but that he CHarrelD had
already accepted $500 TO vote for Goebel
and had a promise from Goebel of the SUI
perintendency of the Hopkinsville Asylum,
but that he could not support Goebel. AS
he wanted to repay the Goebel manager
his money and put himself on sure foot
ing, he said he wanted 5000.
Whallen says that 5000 of his money
was given Harrell; that Harrell kept $500
and put the balance in Box No. $50 of the
safety vault of the Louisville Trust Com
pany, and that Harrell obtained this money
on false pretense, as it was false that
he had already received $500 from repre-
sentative of Goebel.

He deemed it imperative that some course
should be adopted which would prevent a
repetition of the Hayes-Tilden controversy.
and discussed fully the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the Constitution.
He maintained that TO attempt to force the
black race into social and political equal
ity with the white race was only to clog
the progress OF all mankind. The speech
was strong appeal for action that would
benefit both races and a defense of the new
constitutions of Louisiana and North Car
DINA.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Morgans
speech. Mr.. Pritchard gave notice that he
would address the senate on the resolution
on Jan. %.
June "a, 1890. was called up and explained
by Mr.. Gallinger The two amendments
proposed by the bill were that widows who
have an income of $3.50 in excess of daily
and authorizing the commissioner of pen
sons to aggregate the disabilities of an APP
plicant in fixing his pensionable status
In the course of protracted discussion
OF the general pension question, discus
sion which took a wide range. Mr.. Teller
said he was not appalled, by the fact that
100000 annually were paid by the gov
eminent to pensioners. He was certain
that more men were off the pension rolls
who ought to be on, than were on and
ought to be off.
The bill was amended so as to provide
that i'm case the widow should have re
sources. instead of an income, from
which $3.50 year is derived derivable,
she should be pensionable and further that
the bill does not apply to widows who have
married. former soldiers since June q, 1890.
The bill as amended was passed
A bill was also passed providing that
Widows pension shall commence with the
application and not at the date of the sol
dier's death; and constituting a section of
the dependent pension act.
At 1851 p. m. the senate went into ex
ecutive session and at o'clock adjourned.

Bradley Nominated for Senator.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. S.-The Repub-
lican joint caucus tonight nominated ex-
Governor William o. Bradley the Re-
publican candidate for senator by acclama-
ton. Representative Boreing, the only
other aspirant who sought this honor from
the minority, having instructed his friends
not to present his name. The meeting was
rendered Unexpectedly sensational by the
speeches of General Bradley and other Re-
publican leaders. Representative Slack, of
Owensboro, in placing Bradley's name in
nomination, reviewed the political situa-
ton as it has progressed since the Legisla-
ture convened and declared his belief that
1.-The Democratic majority has determined
to rob the present occupants of the State
offices, to which they were fairly and hon.
estly elected by the people in November.
in spite of the most gigantic frauds that
ever disgraced the State, and put in their
places the gang of conspirators who DOM
mate the party in the majority in the Leg
islature, He closed by dramatically de-
claring that the people would not submit
to the unseating of Governor Taylor. Gov
ernor Bradley, in his speech accepting the
nomination, said the very air was full of
conspiracies. All of these had failed up
to date, however. he said, and las sure
as God reigns, the men who have been
placed in these offices by the sovereign

Seven additional cases of plague have de-
veloped since last advices, making thirteen
cases, all told, to date. The three cases
were discovered on the night OF the 18th
ultimo. and four cases have been reported
during the past forty-eight hours. The
Board of Health has decided TO take rad
ical steps to stamp out the scourge. por-
ton of the infected districts was con-
demned and burned to the ground yester-
day. Three buildings and large ware
house were destroyed. The future policy OF
the health authorities will be to destroy
all the infected buildings. The Board OF
Health is severely criticised by the two
leading papers here-the Star and the Ad-
vertiser."
A letter from Honolulu, dated Dec. 30.
says: 1.-The curious spectacle is presented
here of a revival of the shotgun quarantine
around the plague-infected district. The
Board of Health called out the National
Guard three days after Christmas because
of the discovery of five new cases OF
plague, two of which proved fatal. II is
now paying $1,000 day for this protection.
and the result of this strict guard is de-
moralizing and many poor Chinese and
Japanese who worked in the American
quarter are starving. The Gordon drawn
around the Asatic district includes many
of the Chinese and japanese dealers who
live in sanitary fashion, and who

There have been seventeen known cases
of bubonic plague in Honolulu 10 date.
There have been a number of other deaths
which were probably deaths from plague,
but the Board of Health has not officially
declared them. Passenger traffic be-
tween the islands is practically at a stand
still. The interisland steamship compa-
MES refuse to take passengers on account
of the onerous quarantine conditions inn
posed. Fumigated freight is accepted but
is loaded and discharged from lighters
away from the wharves.
THE America Maru, which arrived here
from San Francisco on Dec q, discharged
her passengers and freight by means OF
lighters.

eighth Infantry, arrived a few hours after
the America Maru. Her commander re-
