HUMBER CRAWFORD FRAUD.



CINCINNATI, June 5.-The Humbert-
Crawford sensation of Paris. says a local
paper, probably had its start at Covington,
Ky. French detectives are said TO be now
here working under cable instructions from
Paris and also under telegraphic advise
ment from Washington, through Eugene
Poicey, the French consul at Cincinnati 1t
is claimed that NJ. Katin. who taught
French at Covington years ago. and after
French government all about the Craw-
fords, whom he formerly knew while living
in Covington. Frank Devenick, an artist in
Cincinnati, who resides in Covington, and
knew the Crawfords, has gone to Paris to
assist in the investigation that has been
started by NJ. katin, who is now in the en-
ploy OF the French government.
-Four Crawford brothers lived in Coving-
ton until the early eighties, when they left
there, and two of them went to Paris. The
French government has information that
they may be the men named in the golden
sealed and impressive-lOokng document
exhibited by the Humberts to the great
hnanciers. The brothers were john Henry
Matthew and Robert. John died years ago
leaving three brothers. In the early eighties
Henry went to Kansas City and was city
clerk there. Matthew and Robert went
abroad and are supposed to have lived in
Paris. Every circumstance indicates that
they are the men whom the Humberts
named as the nephews who were contest
ing the Crawford will, and who pre-
venting the Humberts coming into possess
sion of great estates. The Crawfords were
considered a wealthy family in Covington.
and 1t was understood they had a rich
uncle. The story, as related by the Hum

whenever another strike of any magnitude
may occur. Every such resort to violence
and settlement after violence tends TO
weaken a wholesome fear for the law by
those who disposed TO be lawless. If
the packers had conferred with the team
sters before the strike they would have
been entitled to some respect, but now that
they have yielded after several hundred
people have been injured and few killed
their concession Will be attributed to fear.
1t is better for the interests of all that
efforts be made to prevent strikes than to
compromise after violence and lawlessness.

In the course of his remarks Mr.. Sibley
said: When loving hands consigned 10
mother earth the mortal remains OF VII
liam Mckinley that sense OF justice which
is so predominant In American character
demonstrated in unmistakable terms that
there should be made the clear and dis
unct declaration that those who plotted
treason TO the government and advocated
murder of rulers should find that a land
enriched by the blood of patriots ana mar
tyrs is too small 10 hold those who should
oonspire for its overthrow. The patriotism
OF our Nation believed that almost the nIs0
act OF the American Congress would be so
TO legislate that in the future neither a
Johann Most nor an Emma Goldman, the
more responsible authors Of such crimes,
should escape punishment. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the first recommendation
made by the President In his annual mes
sage to Congress dealt with the subject six
months have rolled around and Tor the nrst
time there Is a topic Of discussion IN TINS
body"
In closing he said: I'm the strength of
our purpose and endowed with the coura &c
or our convictions We will send 10 anarchy
and all her brood the message that Garfield
once delivered when upon the death OF Lin
despair, God reigns and the government at
Washington still lives. Mr.. Sibley was
warmly applauded when he concluded.
Mr.. Loud opposed the bill. He said he
prompted the BILL but he believed Congress
was about TO act upon impulse. II the mat
ter went over until the next session he did
not think il would ever be heard of again.
Il he could bring himself 10 believe there
was word or line In the bill which would
protect the life of the President he would
accept the remainder.
Mr.. Crumpacker contended that Congress
had the power and should exercise il TO
make the Staying OF the President a capital
offense without qualification or limitation.
He was opposed TO the bill as reported
from the committee because il circum-
scribed the crime with conditions which
might embarrass the prosecution.
Mr.. Clark declared that the expeditions
trial of CZolgocz at Buffalo was an honor
TO the Jurisprudence of New York, while
that of Guiteau in Washington was a dis
grace to that of the District of Columbia.

MAJOR STEELE.
Words of Appreciation from Promi-
nent Members of the House

the
Marion Qnd.) Chronicle.
Serene L. Payne, House leader and chair
man of the important ways and means
committee, of which Major Steele is a
member, knows well the worth ability and
earnest service Of the member from this
district, and thus expresses himself:
81 have never heard so much regret ex-
pressed upon both sides of the House as
over his defeat. AS for myself / feel a
sense of personal loss that | cannot throw
aside If l would: Aside from the .warmest
personal friendship 1 have leaned on his
strong common sense and good judgment
for years. l shall miss him, if my district
does not turn me down, more than / can
tell. If the district knew him as we know
him here, they would not be guilty of the
mistake they have made. Well, he has
been faithful and true and the district will
suffer the loss far more than George will -
Speaking OF the recent defeat for renomi-
nation of Mai. G. w. Steele, Charles ri
Grosvenor, of Ohio, chairman of the com
mittee on merchant marine and fisheries
and one of the most prominent men In the
lower house of Congress- says:
I'VE were greatly disappointed at the de-
feat of Major Steele. l have known him a
long time and have known him very in
timately in the last three congresses.
have great admiration for him and would
have been more than delighted to have wei
coined him as a renominated candidate l
feared in the early part of the campaign
that it might be possible he was under
valung the efforts that were being made
against him. Ii was a very cunningly de-
vised scheme to first assemble his enemies
in the district and then nominate his friend.
He has served long and faithfully and has
the good will of every prominent member
of Congress. He has been a gentleman
whose advise has always been sought and
highly valued and he will be greatly missed
from Congress.

1t would seem that Democratic orators
in Indiana should have the sense not to
speak of 1.-The land of Washington and
Lincoln" in their conventions. but they
have not. Mr.. Kern used the phrase on
Wednesday. The Democrats of years ago
denounced Washington, and Mr.. Kern is
old enough to remember the opprobrious
epithets which they applied to Abraham
Lincoln from 1860 to 1865. Mr. Kern knows
that he would have applied his extensive
vocabulary of epithet upon Abraham Lin
coin had he been old enough at that time,
and would have applauded the resolution
of the Indiana Democratic convention of
1862, in which Abraham Lincoln is de-
nounced as "a usurper exercising despotic
power against which freedom revolts. -
Why not be manly and sincere. and either
be silent respecting Abraham Lincoln or set
forth that the Democratic party of Indiana
was entirely wrong in opposing him during
the civil war?

Depew and Hanna of Same Mind.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Chauncey NJ. Depew,
who was in Chicago to-day, in discussing
the canal question, declared that in his
opinion there is no comparison between the
merits of the Nicaraguan and Panama
routes, and that the latter, when measured
by the test of certainty of cost of construc-
ton and of cost of maintenance, is far
preferable. Senator Depew said that he
believed the canal question would be re-

provides. but he doubted If that bill could

1t is worth while TO note that the Vir-
ginia convention which has made a new
constitution voted to put IL into operation
without submission to the people for ap-
prevail or rejection. This is the usual meth
Cd in the South when the acknowledgements
of large number of colored voters is
sought. but what would the independent
papers say If the Republicans should do a
like thing in Northern State? Is it not
as much encroachment upon the rights of
the people to force upon them a Constitu-
ton In Southern as in Northern State?
Or is the silence due TO the fact that there
is no popular government In the South?
