Asylum Investigation.

Eugene Fl. Cloves, ex-member OF the
special board of the Eastern State Hos
pital, which is now undergoing an TO-
vestigstion by the Legislative committee,
was on the rack all day yesterday, Mr..
Cloves was called upon TO explain the
charge of graft which has been lodged
against him,
Mr.. Cloves acknowledged accepting
five or six tons of coal from NJ. o.
Brooks, superintendent of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Coal and Coke Com
pany, but said that be intended to pur-
chase the coal. Mr.. Brooks, Mr.. Cloves
said, met him on the street and told him
that he could furnish him coal cheaper
than he could purchase it elsewhere,
that no price was named and that the
coal was delivered. When be asked
Mr.. Brooks later for bill he was told
that the only charge wss for the hauling
of the material. Mr.. Cloves contended
that he paid so cents q ton for the coal.
The graft matter was sprung at the
morning session, when chairman Sad
der asked Mr.. Cloves if he had ever
accepted gratuily from Mr.. Brooks.
Mr.. Cloves said that other people who
had contracts to furnish provisions for
the asylum had offered TO send him SUI
plies, but that he had declined.
The cross-examination developed only
the fact that the so cents a ton was for
the hauling and not in payment for the
coal

Strike Collapsing.

Unless the Ohio operators and miners
reach a settlement at Columbus, where
they are now comforting, it is stated that
the strike 10 eastern Ohio will be lost
Desertions have already occurred, and
the great mass OF the miners are on the
verge of breaking away and going bsck
into the mines. This condition is caused
by the failure of the State organization
OF the United Mine Workers to pay
strike benefits for the past three weeks
A. Dillonville meeting of the foreign
miners was held, and George JonA of
the local union, being unable to hold the
men 10 line, became distracted, and tried
10 commit suicide in front of a passing
freight train, but was pulled of the
track just 10 time. Then he plunged
knife three times into his breast, aud his
condition is FERROUS. He will recover.
The .DillOnville foreigners were told
they could obtain credit at groceries for
limited amounts, the goods to be charged
10 the Unilod Mine Workers organiza-
ton, but the merchants refused TO agree
to this, claiming they have not sufficient
capital Starvation faces the men, aud
they are ready to return to work If the
Columbus conference is fruiless.

ACCORDING to the letter OF the law,
and, to speak honestly, in accordance
with the spirit thereof, the young Italian
woman who has been on trial in New

Though. as says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. there was some expert testimony to
the effect that ahe was insane, she was
pronounced sound of mind by commits
sion of lunacy, aud herself Vehemently
protested that she WAS perfectly sane.
There are cases, however, in the Judging
of which the emotions triumph over cold
reason; and such case was that OF the
Terranoya woman. Under some sys-
TENS of law. though not under ours, such
provocation as she had is held TO excuse

being the judges of the law as well as OF
the facts in a capital case, the acquiltal
of the woman was we'll within the prov
ince of the twelve men who tried her,
and few would care to accuse the Jurors
of violation of their Oaths. Still few
ar will he dissatisfied with the verdict.

SATURDAY EVENING. JUNE 2, 1906.

THERE are some good democrats
among the preachers yet. At the recent
Episcopal Diocesan Convention al
indianapolis it was unanimously re-
solved that 1--WE declare that 1t Is the
business of Christians and churchmen
to be honest before they are rich; that
success gained by violating the law or.
by swindling ones fellows is a base
thing; that the greed for wealth aud
mower which leads men into these crimes
must be checked; that the church can
not afford to allow men TO think that
her silence, much less her approval, can
be purchased by gifts from them; that
unless the church does take a strong
stand against these sins OF the rich and
powerful she will inevitably lose her
weight and influence and sink to the
level of the worlds life" This reads
like plank in the democratic platform.
If those ministers will only get their
parishioners TO practice such doctrine,
Indiana will never again send a rePubli-
can to Congress or cast its electoral vote
for republican candidate for president.

TOday's Telegraphic News
Want International Action.

London, June 2.-The attempt made
upon the lives of King Alfonso and
Queen Victoria 10 Madrid on Thursday
has brought the question OF what action
should lie taken by all the nations Jolnt-
ly to quel anarchists, and the question
now is the subject of much discussion
among British police officials.
The British police favor some scheme
of international action against the
"Reds," as the surest way OF putting an
end to such outrages.
Though the officials are trying to dis
prove the theory that the plot against
Alfonso was hatched in London, there
is difference of opinion among detec-
tives on the subject. The latter believe
that it is quite likely that the attempted
assassination plans we're made here, as
it is we'll known that London is the hid
ing place OF anarchists.
The correspondent of the Central
News at Madrid wires that Robert
Hamilton, the Englishmau arrested yes
terdsy on suspicion that he was an ac-
complete Of the anarchist who threw q
bomb at King Alfonso, was released this
morning. Hamilton proved to be a
mere tourist, who was in Madrid TO wit
ness the festivities IN connection with
the marriage Of Alfonso and Queen
Victoria. The real assassin is still free.
Madrid, June 2.--rA. telegram was re-
ceiyed by King Alfonso Today from Don
Jaime, son of the Spanish Pretender,
who is in Paris, addressed 10 Alfonso OF
Bourbon. saying: Gas courteous sd-
yerssry, | wish TO congratulate you
upon your escape ffom-ihis odious out
rage"
The only charge made 10 today's pro-
gramme for the festivities in celebration
of King Alfonso's wedding was the sub
stitution Of reception in place Of the
state ball, which was to have been given.
Madrid, June -Four more deaths
occurred today of victims of the bomt
outrage aud thirty additional injured
persons reported themselves to the au
thorilies. Two more of the horses which
we're drawing the royal coach, at which
the bomb was aimed, have also died.
The report that General Weyler was
Injured 10 the explosion is not true.
A reward OF rs, 200 peselas (ibout
SIS, OO0) has been offered for the arrest
or discovery of the author of Thursday

siderstion of subject before the formal

He declared the Smoot case to be one
of the kind that the Senate was not in
the habit of rushing through.
II do not purpose acting upon this
question ia response to public clamor,
but upon the constitutional rights Of the
individual" he declared. "This is 3
question OF conscience, as well rs of law, !"
he exclaimed.
Mr. Beveridge expressed qualification
upon what he believed to be desire OF
the Senate to act upon the case this SEES
sion.
Mr.. SpOoner did not so interpret
the Colorado Senator's remarks. "He
has an old fashioned idea that he
wants to be informed upon sub
ect before be votes upon it," he re-
marked grimly. Unanimous consent
having been refused for fixing day for
taking the case up, the discussion WAS
ended by Mr.. Hale demanding the
regular order.
During the discussion this afternoon
of the resolution directing the purchase
in America of supplies and machinery
for the Panama Canal, Mr.. Teller sharp
" criticised Chairman Shouts of the
canal commission for remaining in
Washington when he was paid $50, 900
dollars year TO be on the canal zone.
Mr.. Hale criticised the chairman of
the canal commission for recommending
in recent public speech a lock canal

Congressional consideration.
