ALL POINTS | TO CLEVELAND Discussion of Proposed Nomination. |MR.BANKHEADF FAvoRs HIM Believes, However. That He
 Would Not Accept. Bryan's Suggestion of Judge Clarke of North Carolina Causes Amuss-
 ment--A Poll of the Ala
 bama Editors Taken.

Washington, May A.-(Special)-Rep- resentative Bankhead of Alabama, whc has served in Congress for nearly twenty years, is in Washington on brief busi' ness visit He said to your correspond ent today that he would be pleased tc se- Grover Cleveland nominated and elected President next year.
 T am a great admirer of Mir. Cleve- land" he said. ''and have the greatest re. spect for his ability. MT. Cleveland has a great many friends in my State and throughout the South and they will watch the balance of his career with the greatest interest. have not conferred with MT. Cleveland on the subject of his renomination for President, but am in- clined to believe that he does not wish it.
 There is feeling in Alabama among Mir. Clevelands friends. and he has many of them there, that he is not seeking a third term for President. However. all his Southern friends are exceedingly glad of the discussion regarding his renominatior for they believe that this talk will serve to wake up all of Mir. Clevelands inti mate followers of former times and gel them on the firing line. Then when the battle comes along these influential mer will get into the thick of the fight.
 Wilson Brown Talks.
 Wilson R. Brown of Birmingham is 1T Washington today. after spending weet in New York Mir. Brown remarks tha' there Is nobody mentioned in connectior with the Democratic nomination fol President who compares in strength 1T New York to Grover Cleveland and thai there Is not doubt that he would carry the State.
 Judge Parker, MT. Brown said, was alss developing strength and attracting con siderable attention.
 North Carolinaians in Washington treat as absurd any discussion of Judge Walter Clarke of their State as a fit candidate for the Democratic nomination for Pres ident. Senator Simmons has already beer referred to in a jocular manner. Th' truth is Clarke's fame is somewhat [ thing of the past, when he was a kind of Populist luminary in South Carolina.
 It is remarked that the only two mer Colonel Bryan has so far picked out fol the Democratic nomination for President vide, Senator Stone of Missouri ana Judge Clarke of North Carolina. have neither been seconded even in his owr State.

|GOVERNME | IS TO BLAME TOlStOi on the KiShincff Atrocities. WON PLEHwE's CIRCULAR Jews Forbidden to Takc

 Trssh 1rassaerss wsn
 Soon coms.
|voN PLEHwE's CIRCULAR

St. Petersburg. May n.--Ths circular of Interior Minister won Piehws. issusd May IT, ascribed the massacre of the Jews at Kishinefr largely to acts of self-defsnss on the part of the Jews. and continued;
 .sThe events at Kishinef have alarmed the Jewish portion of the populstion h many regions of the Empire. and hAxs occasioned rumors among the christians about intended Jewish prosecutions. h some of the cities. the Jews began 1orn- ink self-defense associations. After re- ported to his majesty about the disox- ders, his majesty commanded me to irn- press on the commanders in the province and towns that they ara obligated and are held personally responsibls to take all the necessary measures to prevent violence, and calm the popuiacs In order to remove the occasion of fears for hfa and property in any portion.
 'In informing your exceilency of fhS monarch,s win. feel obliged to stats for your guidance that no sort of azse- citations for self-defence can Do toler- ated.''
 The Jews are not inclined to depend solely on the police and have armed themselves, in spite of the circuIars throughout the Jewish belt. Undoubssd- ly their action prevented a repetition ef the massacre at Kicv. Odessa, Mfusk and elsewhere. The Minsk Jews are 90 alarm ed that the slightest outbreak causes a general closing and barricading of thear shops.
 Tclstoi's Charges.
 Answering private letter asking for his opinion of the Kishinsff massacre. Count Toistoi writes:
 My relations to the Jews and 10 the terrible Kishinesf affair must be clear to relasion to the 19wB can taiy be aa thai to brothers whom love. nof because they are Jews. but because they and everybody are the sons of one Father. God. That love does me no violence because have met and known Jews who are very good people. ;:
 My relation to the Kishineff crime is also defined in my religious beliefs. Be- fore knowing all the frightful details I understood the horror and felt intense pity for the innocent victims of mob savagery. mingled with perplexity at the bestlaiity of the so-cailed Christians. and aversion and disguest for the ao-calle0 educated people who ingtigated the mob and sympathixed with It's deeds.
 Above all. was horrifed at the real culprit, namely. the Government, with foolish fanatical priesthood end gang of robher officials. The Kishineff crime was consequence of preaching lies ana violence. which the Government carries on with such stubborn energy. The Gov ernment's relation to the affair is new proof of it's rude despotism. hesitating at no atrocity when 1t is a question of crushing movements regarding as dan- gerous and is proof of its complete equanimity which is like that of the Turk ish Government towards the Armenian massacres and most horrible atrocities, if only in interests remain untouched.

FAMOUS CASE ENDS.
Involved Slo0, 900 in Property and
 Paternftv of Child.

EhtokAkty O1 0AAAAas
 Pittsburg, May M.-The end of one of the most sensational eases ever tried in the United States Circuit Court came to- day when the jury In the case of Beverly Robinson against Robert Stevenson, and others, returned a verdict for the de- fendact. The case was for eighteen feet of property in Wood Street. worth about $10o, 900, and involved the paternity of a child. The plaintiff claimed title through child which he alleged was born to his wife who was 1is cousin. Miss Kath- eriue Vera Robinson. They were mar ried December. is96. and 1t is alleged the child was born in March. 1897, in Omaha, where they had gone to avoid publicity. Robinson and his wife were accompanied to Omaha by Mrs. David Gregg Metheny, sister of Mrs. Robinson.
 The family came back after the sum- mer of 1898 when they spent several weeks at Fairhaven, Vt. One day Mrs. Metheny was seized with convulsions and died very suddenly. The next morning Mrs. Robinson and the child were dead, both having been shot. The suicide or murder of the woman and the murder of the child were testified to during the trial of the case.
 The defense was that the child was not the child of Mrs. Robinson, but was the child of Mrs. Metheny. Metheny Is one of the defendants and the verdict gives him the title through the child born to his wife
 Robinson gave positive testimony that the child was born to his wife and that she nursed the baby naturally This lat ter fact was also testified to by other witnesses On the other hand q sister of Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Metheny was present in the room when the child was born and swore that it was the child bf Mrs Metheny. She admitted that she had introduced Mrs. Metheny to the doc- tor as Mrs. Robinson and for that reason the doctor had believed that the child was that of Mrs. Robinson, whom he visited professionally.
