WASHINGTON, I). C., Feb. 2.
The North Carolina colony and many
•ther people are seeking the identity of a
young North Carolina girl who threw
away fame and a Japanese nobleman at
•nedaeh A few years ago this Japan
ese, K igakasee Niro, was a student at
the United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis, and visited Washington fre
quently. He was the son of an admiral
in the Japanese navy, and first cousin of
the Ern|>eror of Japan himself; he was
educated at Annapolis by the Japanese
government
This young man left the academy
about two years ago and returned to
Japan. He has distinguished hirnself
in the war now being waged between
Japan and China, and now commands
the Japanese torpedo squadron with
marked ability. His thorough training
at the Naval Academy, as well as his
mar kin*bp to the Emperor of Japan,
accounts for its rapid promotion.
Daring hie l.*et yea? at Annapolis he
became very much in love with a charm
ing N-rth Carolina girl, a graduate of
the Georgetown Convent, and a god
daughter of Cardinal Gibbous, who vis
ited friends at 150? Vermont avenue,
this city. Ho addressed tne young lady,
and painted to her in glowing colors the
life sb* would lead as a member of
Japan’s royal family. Hut tho giri did
not love him,and with true North Caro
lina grit and independence she refused
this scion of Kings.
The grl belougs to one of tho oldest
families in the State, w;xs brill ant and
accomplished, ant fit to grace any court.
Mrs. Cleveland and the Into Mrs. W'm.

miration for her, and she Fas quite a
belle.
She is now living in North Carolina in
a quiet old town with her elderly hus
baud, for s’'e married a widower with
several children.
And {teople are wondering who the
girl was who threw away royalty for
lovo.
Solicitor Lea. Maxwell’* Resignation.
About the first open rupture in the
administration has resulted in the resig
nation of Judge Lawrence Max we 1, so
licitor General. For son e time he has
not beou on the best terms with the
Attorney General, who is his immediate
superior. Neither of the parties will
talk but it is stated that the immediate
cause of the resignation grew out of the
income tax suit. It seems that the At
tonic v Get end was displeased because
Mr. Maxwell advanced the income tax
case.
According to oue authority there is a
good deal of pop tics behind this affair.
Mr. Olaey, it is reported, was opposed to
l aving the income tax cases advanced
on the ground that it would affect the
Democratic party if the law were de
clared unconstitutional.
Mr. Maxwell took the ground that he
was running his office on purely legal
lines, and was, therefore, not at all in
terested in the political effect of the ad
vancement of the cases. He had acted
as a lawyer only, and t? e Attorney Gen
eral. seeing the possible evil effects po
litically of the advancement of the case,
was angry, and expressed himself forci
bly The Solieiroi General, with dignity,
resented such treatment, and the resig
nation resulted

THE DAY IN THE SENATE
Another Addition is Made to the Ranks
of Republican Senators.
Washington, D. C., Feb. 2. Another
addition was made to the ranks of the
Republican Senators to-day in the person
of Mantle elected from the State of
Montana. This makes the total number
of Senators 86, and leaves the political
complexion as follows: Democrats, 42;
Republicans, 39; Populists, 6.
The Senators comprised in the last
named class are: Allen, of Nebraska;
Jones, of Nevada; Kyle, of North Dakota;
Peffer, of Arkansas, and Stewart, of
Nevada.
There was no discussion to-day ou the
question of finance, although the subject
cropped out on several occasions— first
when Mr. McPherson proposed till Mon
day next calling aphis resolution for the
discharge of the finance committee from
further consideration of Mr. Sherman’s
bill to supply a deficiency in the revenue;
again when Mr. Hale denied a newspaper
intimation that the Republican Senators
were purposelv delaying action on ap
propriation bills, and asserted that
there was no such, purpose, and
finally when Mr. Chandler asked Mr.
Gorman whether he would not. offer
to the district appropriation “the brief,
patriotic amendment which would pro
vide. not revenue, but money for the
current wants of the government.”
Mr. Gorman, with a smile, asked Mr.
Chandler to wait for one of the general
appropriation bills, and Mr. Chandler
agreed to do so, although he said he was
thinking of formulating »■ amendment
for the purpose of dissipating “all tho
clouds that lower o’er our house.”
Little progress was made on the Dis
trict appropriation bill, but an agree
ment was reached to have the final vote
on it Monday.
Bill* Disposed Os.
Mr. Vest, from the Committee on Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds, reported
back the House bill for the erection of a
government building at Chicago with an
amendment in the nature of a substi
tute, the limit of cost to be $4,000,000.
A bill granting to the Gila river,
Globe and Northern Railway Company a
right of way through the San Carina
Indian reservation at Arizona (so framed
as to avoid the objections in the Presi
dent’s veto of the bill yesterday) was re
ported by Mr. Stewart and passed.
Conference report on the fortifications
bill was made by Mr. Call, all the points
in dispute between the two houses being
arranged except as to one of the Senate
amendments, looking to the ordering of
fifty mortars equal in every respect to
the steel guns now contracted for at lass
than half the present, cost.
The conference report was adopted,
and a further conference was ordered
ou the amendment which had been dis
agreed to.
After the brief executive sessiom the
Senate, at 4:40, adjourned until Mon
day,
CRUSHED TO DEATH.
The Distressing Suicide ol a Keciiicky
Man at Asheville.
Asheville, N. 0., Feb. 2.—Samuel
A Miller, who came h* re from Louis
ville, Ky , three months ago with his
family, threw himself between two
coaches of the east-bound passenger
train to day and was crushed to death.
Mr. Miller was suffering from melan
cholia caused, it is understood here, by
business carts, and had attempted to
take his life before to day. He scented
for a time to improve here, where he
was brought in the hope that the change
of climate would improve his mental
condition.
A distressing incident e p the suicide
was that his sou stood by and tried to
restrain his father as he plunged under
the coach* s, and that a daughter was on
the train that r n over the body. Mr
Miller came here with flattering letters
of introduction that at once gave him
aud his family entrance iu'o the society
of the leading families in this vicinity.
All his family are here except one son.
The body will bo taken to Louisville for
burial, leaving here Sunday afternoon

'l he Grade ot Lieutenant-General ol

Washington, D. 0., Feb. 2.—The
Pacific railroad refunding bill is dead
After three day’s discussion in the House
it was re committed to the committee ou
Pacific Railways at the close of a some
what exciting session of over six hours
to-day, by the decisive vote of 177 to
106. *
Several attompts were made to secure
additional time in which to debate t he bill,
hut they were all objected to by friends
of the measure, who, like tho opponents,
until the decisive vote was taken, were
of the opinion generally that the bill
would pass by a small majority.
Debate on the Bill.
The argument that seemed to be most
effective in influencing members to vote
against the hill was that advanced by
Mr. Maguire (Dem.), Colorado, that its
principal operation would be to relieve
the railroads of the entire amount of
principal of their debt to the govern
ment aud required them to pay a sum
equal to the interest thereon at live p- r
cent., calculated for a period of fifty
years.
This argument was attacked by Mr.
I Reilly (Dem ), Pennsylvania, in charge
• of the bill, and Mr. Hendricks (Dem ),
New York, who insisted that the com-
I panics would be obliged to pay the full
i araoufit of their indebtedness at the
present time, with th r ce per cent, inter
est. Several amendments were made to
the text at the bill, but as the measure
was finally disposed of adversely, they
! are without value.
After the bill had boen reported to the
I House from the Committee of the
| Whole, unsuccessful efforts were made
| by Mr, Boatner (Dem.), of Lousiana, to
get his proposed substitute before the
j House for action, aud by Mr. Meikle
i John (Rep.), of Nebraska, to secure the
! same standing so ’his proposed amend
| ment in behalt of the Sioux
j City, Oneill and Western Railroad
Mr. Boatner thereupon moved to re
| commit the bill without instruc
; tions, which, if carried, would be
| equivalent to killing it, A point of
j order was against tho motion as not being
| inclnded within the rule, but Speaker
• Crisp held that it was in order.
Ae Amendment Offered,
j Beforo it was submitted, however, Mr.
Turner (DemL of Georgia, moved to
| amend by instructing the committee to
| report a bill directing the Secretary
: of the Treasury to accept $75,-
i 000,000 from the railroads if ten
dered within six months, in full satisfac
-1 tion of the government claims against it
I This was rejected, 109 to 142. The mo
; tion to recommit was then agreed to
i on a division of the House, 171 to 87.
The yeas aud nays being demanded,
they were called with the following re
! suit. Yeas, 177; nays. 106. The an
nouncement of the vote was received
with loud applause by those who had
opposed the bill.
Before proceeding to the consideration
cf the refunding bill, the House passed
the Senate bill reviving the grade rs
lieutenant general of the army for the
benefit of Major-General Schofield, com
. manding the Army of the United States.
Less than fifty members were present
when the House met at 11 o'clock. The
journal of yesterday’s proceedings, which
contained no mention of the Breckin
ridge Heart! fracas, was approved.

Chicago, Feb. 2. — The hearing of mo
tions in the whiskey trust case l>egan
before Judge Grosscup in the U S Cir
cuit court this morning. When, after
hearing a few motions in other cases, the
court announced that he was ready to
take up the case none of the counsel res
ponded, though all were present. “Are
tne receivers in court f” asked the Judge.
“They are,” answered Attorney Burry,
i “Both Mr. Greenhut and Mr. lAwrence
are here.”
j “Be sworn, please,” said the Court,
i Mr. Greenhut was put ou the stand and
the Judge informed him that he wished
to ask him a few questions on his own
account, The irst one was: “You know
what buying and selling stocks on the
j New York Exchange is ?”
; “Yes, sir.”
“Did you buy or sell any stocks last
Monday ?”
“Yes. I bought three or fourthous
i and shares of whiskey trust stock.”
The same questions were asked of Re
ceiver Lawrence, who said he had bought
no stock, nor was he in any way inter
ested in any deal in whiskey trust stock.
*
Attorney Meyer’s Statement.
Attorney Mayer then ar so aud stated
to the court that the motion he would
make would be for the ousting of re
j ceiwrs Greenhut and Lawrence Just
j now he would not make a motion for the
' vacation of tho receivership, though he
j intimated by his way of putting it that
he would do this later on. Iu expla fl
ing his position, Mr Mayer said:
“A stockholder’s committee compose 1
of John D. Hartshorne, Johß I. Water
bury and F. M. Lockwood was recently
formed in New r York for the purpose of
making a change of management in the
affairs of the whiskey trust. There was
to be a committee meet ing iu Peoria for
the purpose of considering these mat ters
Mr. Greenhut telegraphed to New York
. stockholders that Thursday oft! is week
j would be time enough to hold the meet
ing On Tuesday I received a telegram
! from New York stating that the stock of
the whiskey trust was being sold down a
point or two on the New York
i exchange and asking tpo to make au
J immediate investigation. This I did,
j and found that a receiver had been ap
| pointed. This w r as the first intimation
that we had that a receiver had been ap
pointed for the triint. Telephouic com
munication was at once opened with
Cincinnati by the New York stockholders
and Mr. Hartshorne informed them that
he knew nothing whatever of the appli
cation of the receivers.
“When the investigators reached Peo
, ria they found the vaults locked and con
i siderable wiring had to be done before
we could get tho combination. It was
found that a man named Magee had the
i key of the inner vault in his pocket and
was out of town. When we finally got
him it was so late that we had little time
jto make an investigation. We found
j out that about 98 payments had b* eu
made to Runnells and Burry the attor
neys who asked your Honor to institute
| the receivership, although an altogether
i different firm acts as attorneys for the
whiskey trust, was r» gttlarly constituted
| such, and is paid monthly. Now, 1
I make no charges. I merely mention
| this to show the relation betw* en lawyer
i and client in this case.
“As to the s’ate of the whiskey trust
finances, we found that, outside of the
rebate vouchers, three or four thousand
dollars will cover the entire indebted
| n‘*ss. We further found that Nelson
Morris, an ex-director of the trust, is
largely interested with Mr Greenhut in
; extensive contracts for feeding cattle.
As to Char’es J. Heines and C. L
Wotmser, neither of them had any right
to sign the petition, t or to have it signed j
for them.”
The Sensation ot the Day.
Mr. Mayer then sprang the sensation i
of the day whe.u he stated that Mr. j
Greenhut did not own a share of the I
whiskey trust stock until after tho re- I
eeivers had been appointed. I believe I '
am justified in saying, moreover, that all j
the directors together do not own a thoua- ,
and sh -res of stock.
Mr Greenhut interrupted at this point: i
“1 wish to make an explanation. I wish
to correct my t&tement that I bought !
this stock on Monday. I bought it Wed !
nesday. ”
“After the stock bad been pulled .
down?” inquired Mr Mayer dryly. Mr.
Greenhut did not answer. Judge Gross
cup said: “I would like to ask you, Mr. !
Greenhut, if you were short on whiskey |
trust at this time; before Wednesday or j
this we k ?"
“Yes, I had a few shares.”
“llow many. Was it as much as three
or four thousand shares.”
“Perhaps ir was, I can’t remember.”
Later on, under cn»s examination by j
Judge Grosscup, Mr. Greenhut aeknowl ;
edged that he might have had as many
as 15,000 shares, but could not tell ex- j
actly. Attorney Mayer resuming his j
statement, said Mr. Greenhut was inter
est* d in a number of companies which
furnished supplies to th** whiskey trust,
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
one of them a coal company, lie spoke
sarcastically of NV>on ll.vr:*' suit
against the trust, and intimated that th#
i ter< sts of th** packer and President
Greenhut were one.
Is Behalt ot the Director*.
Mr. Burry read a long communis*
tion on behalf of the directors of the
it ust denying all charges of wasteful
management, aud declaring that if any
mistakes had been made they were errors
< f judgement aud not caused by neglect
j of the affairs of the trust.
Mr. Runnels then assorted that ther*
i was about one million dollars due to the
| creditors of the whiskey trust, and th*
receivership was absolutely necessary.
Mr. Law recce's character had not lt*en
attacked, and as for Mr. Greenhut, it
i was advisable that a receiver should b*
appointed who knew all about the ad
I ministration of the property.
‘ | When counsel on both sides had ft*
. | ished, Judge Grosscup said:
; “I don’t see any necessity of going
( into any evidence in this case ('otinsel
I on ls>th sub's do not seem to differ much
’ as to the facts. They only differ as to
i the inferences to be drawn ftom tlies*
facts. 1 am not prepared to say just
( here whether these receivers should be
: ousted or not, but would ask counsel who
i they should w ish to make receivers if I
I should oust them."
A New Element in the ('as*.
Mr. Mayer began to speak when Na
than Bijur, representing the New York
, J stockholders interrupted: “1 wish to
say," he began, “that the stockholders
| whom 1 represent are not dummies.
They are real men, w« 11 known in public
| affairs in New York, and they hold a
I majority of this ; ; t<X‘k and want the re
; ceivem uncompromisingly ousted. I
j confess 1 was surprised, as no doubt
your Honor was, to hear Mr. Greenhut,
I while professing to have the inter-
I esta *f the stockholders at heart,
j was engaged iu stock jobbing at their
i expense. We do not deny that this
; trust needs the protection of the court,
but it needs it, not against its creditors,
but against its managers."
A new element was projected into th*
‘ j case at this point. H. Voeder, a spec!a
| tor, arose and said he represented $375,-
