BEFORE i HE COMMISSION 1 OTHO TELLS SOME JUICY POLIT ICAL SECRETS. TALK i.F INDiCTiNG HiM FUR PuPJJRT The Governcr if North Carhim >lts the Statesmen From Rhamkatte That He has Lied in his Evidence Befo e the Commission. It is a peach of a fight, a very rose of a row —tlhe contest mow going on be tween the Governor and the Commis sioners lie has turned out of office. It is beginning now to look as if he didn’t have sure evidence on which to base his action, but was relying on his new Commissioners to establish it for him —or perhaps it would he more proper to say discover it for Mm. In their hunt they have been quick to strike the broad and bear-like trail of the Grand Gideon, S. Otho Wilson, the statesman from Rhamkatte. This evidence-hunting theory may lie. all wrong, but the proceedings of the Railroad Commission last Saturday aud yesterday seem to bear it out. And there can be no doubt that tho Governor was terribly in earnest yester day It is not for fun that a Governor goes before a court and takes the wit ness stand in order to deny or explain a statement made by a witness That is what he did yesterday after Otho Wilson testified in regard to the use of free passes. Then Otho talked hack, and am Governor replied; Otho replied again and now the Governor is talking about indicting hint for perjury. All of which is mighty big fun. I’ve enjoyed nothing so hugely since John Wiliam-son and Fletcher Harrison had a fight in the nigger convention here while the hand played' "There’ll he a Hot Time in the Old Town To-night.” It makes a beautiful «<*rap and to one who takes a liog-eat-day view of such contests nothing more entertaining could be found. Otho opened the ball yesterday by tell ing nil he knew, implicating everybody arid then trying to explain why it was, done. He led the Governor such a dance that His Excellency couldn’t stand the pace and last night ne was breathing out threatening® and slaughter against the statesman from Rhamkatte. Last night the Gideon s smile was a bit wilted. His ancient beaver and Walter Henry coat didn’t wear their accustomed air of swagger indifference. Bat all this may be a bluff. Whether Governor Russell can hold all the rope he has taken in and add to it remains to- be seen. The 17th is not far away and the Gideon is looking to that day and the United States Supreme court as his salvation. The Commission meets again this morning at 10 o’clock atul there may Chen lie some more sensational develop ments. . When put on the stand, as soon as the Commission met yesterday morning be fore answering any questions, the Gid eon said: “I give evidence on these matters un der protest, as there is litigation over the office of Railroad Commissioner pending ■in the courts, and I am denying your right to the seats you now hold, and further, the testimony i give might pre judice my case now in the courts.” He was assured that it was not the intention of the Commission to use any of the evidence against him. “Have you used a railroad pass since filie first day of January, over the South ern or any other line?” "I have.” “Will you please designate the lines?” “The only one I have received up t® date is over the Southern. The Sea board Air Line’s has not been received. I have filed application through the local agent aad he ‘has stated that it would be sent. I only publish two schedules, the Seaboard and Southern.” The pass—a quarterly—was produced and handed to the chairman. "During 1897 or 1808 have yon had a frank on a telegraph line’?” “I have not.” “Have any articles been sent or receiv ed ‘deafi-head’ by you through the South ern Express?*’ "Christina* Eve there was a small package, weighing probably four ounces, sent to n * ‘D. ll.’ from Richmond and another, weighing about sixty pounds, was scut.

M Mr. Wilson stated that during tm* summer the Southern Railway transport-] ed for him to Round lvnob a pair of j horses, wagon and harness, charging him | one fare for the round trip. These round trip rates, freight and passenger, Mr. Wilson said, were made by the roads themselves under the general terms of the law and had not been considered by j the Commission as a discrimination. | "Has the Pullman Palace Car Com pany carried you at reduced rates or free?” “When I was elected Commissioner they tendered me passes. I declined them until the first of April last, when the additional duties of the Board of Equalization were given, with a SOOO appropriation to pay the expenses of the Board with a SI,OOO clerk. The Com mission has $2,000 allowed for expenses. In a consultation with Gov.

He saiu that he had one for 1898, on the Southern only. He denied that either he or his mother had ,been given any special rates on provisions or other articles- soit from Asheville.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION SENATOR MORGAN MADE WE PRINCIPAL SPEECH. . Seiatcrs Trye and Stewart Also Speke-- The Senate Made Verj Littie Process on the Treat*. Washington, Jan. 13.—The Senate did not make great progress with the Ha waiian annexation treaty to-day.

The executive session opened shortly after one o’clock with Senator White I on the fioor, but Senator Stewart iuter -1 rapted and others cut the California J Senator out of the discussion.

He assert | ed that the importation of sugar to tile United States from Hawaii would not be increased to aay perceptible client be j cause the islands had reached their lim it in the production of that article. For this reason the producer* of beet sugar j and of cane sugar need not be alarmed.

The Senator began by referring to a sug gestion made by Senator Hoar that the Committee on Foreign I&elationa had made no report and he., Mr. Hoar, was I without sufficient information concern ing the subject of Hawaii and annexa tion.

Consul General Lee Cables State Department NO VIOLENCE DONE HIM NOR HAS IIE ASKED FOR WAR VESSELS. NO APPnEdCNS ON OF FUR THER TROUBLE But Another Outbreak is Expected at any Aliment-Gen Lt-eSa-s th t 2CK),OuO People on <he Liard are in the last S ares c( L'estituiion. Washington, I> .C, Jan. 13.—Late this afternoon the first news of the day came to the State Department from United State* Consul General Lee, who tele graphed that everything was very quiet in Havana territory and there was no cause for apprehension o*f trouble. Orders have been sent to the Marble head to proceed to Navassa to investi gate conditions among the laborers there, thus disposing of the rumor that she l would t*e ordered to Cuba Consul General uee has reported to the State Department from Havana, under date of yesterday, the facts con nected with the rioting there yesterday. While the State Department officials do not divulge the text of the dispatch, it is said that it corroborates generally the -newspaper reports on the subject. According to General Lee’s report the disturbance had been quelled for the time being, but he was apprehensive of another outbreak at any moment. Gen eral Lee did not ask to have a war ship sent to Havana and in the opinion of the State Department off ejais that in a sufficient reason for the assumption that there ‘is no oocasiou for sending one. The officials are evidently not apprehensive of any trouble in the im mediate future that will require the forcible intervention of our government. The disquieting feature of the situation is the horrible condition of the poor in . Cuba. According to General Lee’s ad vices no less than £(X),000 people on the ixlaxd are in the last stage* of destitu tion and are wholly dependent upon charity. To feed these i<eop!e on a ten oent ration per aay would cost $20,000 daily, winch sum is double die amount so far redited In contributions during the past ten days by the State Depart ment. In the opinion of General Lee, no des than twenty per cent iff these poor people are surely doomed to death from starvation amt disease. In such ! a state of affairs the existence of any; form of organized government 1-s j threatened and t)he autonomy plans of ( the Spanish government command little attention. Secretary Long was asked whether; any of the American ship* had been? ordered to be ready to sail for Havana. He replied that, while he could not’ discuss the matter he would say that he had not made any change in the; orders to the Imttletfhip Maine, now lying at Key West. Inqniry developed the fact that the Maine's last orders were j to go out for target practice and upon I foiling in with the North Atlantic squadron to attach herself. Although there is no expectation at he Navy De partment of any trouble just now, still, in ease it should occur the navy* is more strongly represented in Florida and West Indian waters than it has been in ‘ the. past ten years. At Key West there is the second class battleship Maine, at Jacksonville the dynamite crifker Ves uvius, at St. Kitts is the Annapolis and at Guadaloupe the Wilmington. The Detroit is on the from Cape Hay tien to Key West, where she i« now* one. This naval force is made up with one exception, the Maine, of unawnored but lightly protected cruisers and gunboats. It will be powerfully reinforced, how-! ever, in a few days by the North At- ' lantic squadron, under Admiral Sieard, J composed of heavily armored vessels, the! mosft powerful fleet that the • United States* has had together in many years. It is authoritatively stated at the Navy Department that this southern movement of the squadron is in no de gree attributable to the trouble in Havana, but that thp movement is a part of the programme for winter iasn ouevres of the squadron prepared by the Navy Department months ago. The Spanish Minister, Senor Dnpqy l)o'Lome, has been ».erft constantly ad vised of every development within the last twenty-four hours at Havana and he summed ly> his advices this afier neon.by saying that they show that the ttpeising to bevo been n viut. pure and simple; that order ha.* been o •mph te!y re.--1 .red am! t 1 at-*: " cut' ;:es h- .e an ample force to affur.l every protec :t 'U: that the tumult v.as eonlim-d to I’i.aulsh and Cuban residents, and lb ,t a. indignity was put up u any Awri er n interest or citizen, public <>r p-rivato.

In the main. ’ however, the vivas were for Spain and the army. The mounted police were j brought into use and dispersed the J groups, so that order was restored and. the city was tranquil by midnight. During this excitement United States; Oonsu.l General Lee was in communica tion with tlhe Spanish authorities. Neither he nor the officials appear to have been apprehensive, but it was deemed the part of wisdom to guard against contingencies by sending a guard of soldiers to the United States legation anil to the private residence of Consul General Lee. Accordingly twenty-five Spanish soldiers were dispatched to the United States Consulate and Another guard of twenty-five to the residence of General Lee. They acted as an emergency guard, and no occasion arose for their services to be brought into actual requisition. Throughout the dis turbance, it is said at the legation, there was not a shout against the United States, nor a hanii raisid against an American citizen. WHAT ESTRA PALMA SAYS. New York, Jan. 13.—The rioting in Havana and the wrecking of several Liberal newspaper offices by army offi-j cers and Conservatives opposed to the plan of autonomy excites more satisfac tion than surprise among sympathizers with the cause of Cuba in this city. The opinion is general that the time has ar rived for tlhe United States to inter vene. General Tomas Estrada Palma, head of the Cuban Junta here said to day: “The rioting in Havana the direct result of the attempt to give autonomy, so called, to the island. The Spaniards in Cuba will not have it at any cost if they can help it.” 90,000 PERSONS PERISHED. Jackson. Miss., * Jan. 13.—Advices from Major George L. Donald, Jr., of Mississippi, now in Cuba, on whose in formation the State Senate vestorday passed a strong Cui.u.n resolution, say that 00,000 persons have jierisikod by starvation in the province of Santa Clara alone since January 1, 1807. Major Donald says one cannot go twenty steps without some poor starving woman or child begging for something to eat. and that a person cannot sit down to a meal (Continued on fourth page.)

London, Jan. 13.—The trial of Rich ard Arthur Prince (the super who killed Win. Terris*, the actor on December 16th last) began to-day at tho Uhl Bailey.

Refusing a seat, he continued stand ing, apparently the least concerned per son in court. Answering the uenal qnes ; tlons of the clerk, Prince declared that he was “guWty, with great provaction.” Then the prisoner demanded the as sistance. of Queen’s counsel bait the judge explained that this was impossible wimout Special license, but added that til* prisoner was entitled to counsel and advised him to take the advice of the lawyer who appeared for him at the in- of his friends. Prince- finally consented to have coun sel. After consultation w'ifh counsel Prince said that, being advised to do so, he would plead “not guilty.” The prosecution risen opened their 1 case. As the murder was being describ -1 ed Prince frequently smiled and wrote : a number of notes to bis counsel, appar ently to correct absolutely up important detail*. The testimony presented was the same, as was taken at Bow Street Police court when the prisoner was arraigned. The drfen*» alleged that Prince suffer ed in Ms youth from a sun-stroke and that more recently lhe has had delusions. The mother and brother of the prison er testified regarding the sun-stroke. It developed that Prince had Claimed that be was Christ and that his mo+***»„ u-ai (the \ irgin Mary. It was also asserted iu court that Prince had once attacked one of his brothers with a knife.

Columbus, Ohio, Jan. 13.—Senator Hanna and the members of the legisla ture went home today. All will return by Tuesday next. The leaders on both' siucs are still here preparing for another fight next week. 'lhe opposition to Hanna was defeated in k'.s election, but it proposes to fight, now against kirn being seated for the lung term*. Iris enemies say they have not the time to interfere on the short term, but they will press the bribery charges, «w such charges were pressed on Henry B. Payne, fourteen years ago, to the United States Senate. Sub * * * S poenas have been issued for Senator : Hanna, Maj. Dick, Yv. I>. Hollenbeck, H. H. Boyce and others to appear be fore tife Senate Committee next Tues day night. Libel suits have been brought against several Republican pa pers for damages an connection with the bribery charges, notably one by T. C. Campbell, for SIOO,OOO against the, Ohio State Journal. Boih branches of the legislature ad journed today till Tuesday. In the Senate those voting yesterday againsti >he Burge resolution for the investiga-- tion of bribery changed their votes. In the House there was a long drs-' ctisison on the Oris bribery resolution. As the Republicans expect to re-organ ize House an attempt was made to postpone further consideration of the Otis resolution till FOLruary 3rd, so that Speaker Mason would not appoint the committee to conduct the investiga tion. Speaker Mason announced the standing committees today. The House refused to (Kustpone the resolution, and it was adopted, 54 to 5, most of the Re publicans not voting. While the Senate Committee, of which' Senator Burke is chairman, began its investigation yesterday, the House Com mittee will not be apopinted till next Tuesday. In the standing committees announced by Speaker Mason today lie gave the Republicans who voted for Hanna good places. But it is said the latter will not accept the olh\. branch, and a majority' have signed a document to oust Mason' and tli* other officers. Speaker Mason has not missed a moment out of hisi chair during the sewisons of the past two wivks. As for speaker pro-tem Griffith is now with tho Hanna mem bers, Mason know a that in his absence, a resolution would be offered and adopt-' ed to re-organize the House. As >la-, son will refuse to recognise any oae ! offering such a resolution, there arej those who expect violence in the House before the proposed re-organization isj effected. Mason was vfcry arbitrary inj his rulings today, and the Republican members arc ready to resort to desperate efforts next week for re-organization, -j Almost another thousand congratula-, tory telegrams were received for Sena- ! tor Hanna again today, and forwarded j to him at Cleveland. They include his colleagues in the Senate, among these! Senator Foraker, who wired: * “I congratulate you, not only upon! your election-, l*nt also upon your happy remarks to the General Assembly.” At the jollification meetings in some counties, the resignation js demanded by resolution of Oharlus L. Ivurtz, as tire Ohio member of the Republican Nation al Committee. HANNA AT CLEVELAND. Cleveland, Ohio, Jan. 13.—Senator i Hanna was received this afternoon upon ! his return from Columbus with an-- j thnsiasm fur greater than that which I has been aheordeu any public man in : this city in n decade. At noon the Tippecanoe Club, the Business Aten’s League, and the Repub lican Shop Clubs gathered iu front of ; the Masonic building on Superior street and formed a parade.

Paris, Jan. 13.—M. Loubert was ve clccted President of the Senate to-day. M. Scheurer-Kestner, (who has taken a prominent part in calling attention to the alleged injustice done to Alfred Dreyfus, the prisoner of Devils Island), was defeated for re-election to the Vice- Presidency. He obtained only 80 out of 239 votes. Count IV Mun, the clerical leader, caused excitement in the Chamber when he asked to be allowed to question the government on the subject of Emil Zola’s open letter to President Fan re. The Minister of Finance, M. Cochery, replied that the absence of Gen. Billot compelled him to postpone discussion of the matter. This caused au uproar and Count De Mun declared that he had ad vised Gen. Billot and the Premier, M. Meline, of liis intention to raise the de bate, "for,” he said, “the matter is not one which can be put off.” This remark was greeted with ap plause. M. Cochery then said the government proposed to fix a day for the debate at the conclusion of to-day’s session of the House. This aroused prolonged protests aud the Minister finally agreed to sus pend the session until Gen. Billot, could be in attendance. 1 lie letter which formed the basis of Count De Mun’s question pointed out the alleged irregularities and illegalities in the Esterhazy court martial, formal ly accused the Minister of War, Gen. Bil lot. Gen. Mercier. Major Ravary, and Maj. Paty De Clan of perjury and chal lenged the government to prosecute them. Later the' Premier. M. Meline an nounced that the government had decid ed to prosecute M. Zola. THE LARGEST SHIPMENT. Savannah. Ga.. Jan. 13.—The British •steamship Rauza cleared today for Bremen with 18.200 hales of cotton, weighing 8,963,855 pounds, valued at $524,952. This is the largest cargo of cotton ever shipped f: am an Atlantic port, and is over 7.000 hnU-; m ir ■ than was ever •shipped from ti.-is rt or any other port. THE POP’S CONFERENCE SEN AT'.. R i UTLER FAILS N ANY WAY TO RECOGNIZE THEM. Tne Confers c* Is Composed cf Middle of the Rose Pcpjlists With Two Exceptions. St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 13. —With but two exceptions the Populists who came here yesterday from twenty States at the call of the National Organization commit tee appointed at the Nashville convention are of the middle of the x’oad wing of the party. These exceptions are George F. Washburx, of Boston and Editor Far rish, of Joliett, Illinois, both members of the National Executive committee of which Senator Marion Butler, of North Carolina is chairman. Although they both profess fealty to the policy of non fusion, they are looked on with suspicion by the out aud out middle of the reader® and are being watched closely to see what their intentions iu coming to the conference® are. Thus far Chairman Butler has failed to in any way recognize the Organiza tion committee. This action on the part of Chairman Butler who was a strong advocate of fusion with the Democrats' at the last election will, so Chairman Park declare®, compel the Organization 'committee to take independent'action as j to the future policy of the party, irre spective of the National committee. To make Washburn show his hand the chairman yesterday appotifited him a member of the Committee on Resolu tions and Procedure. This committee ; consists of the following-prominent char | actors in the People’s -party: 1 Frank Burkitt, Miss.T John O. Zazel, Mich.; J. J. Dixon, Mo.; W. L. Peck, Ga.; George F. Washburn, Mass.; W. S. Morgan, Arkansas; Harry Tracy, Texas; .L. D. Reynolds, Miss.; Jacob S. Coxey, ! Ohio; A. L. Mime, Tenn.; J. F. Willets, Kansas.
