“No, he did not.”
“Yon have got rich on the proceeds

“If 1 were a rich man I would not

tions.”
“Did yon say to a policeman that
you were not such a chump as'to in
vest your money- in brown stone
houses, where it was bound to come
out some time, but that you had your
money invested in good American
bonds?”
“The person who says that is a liar,
and you are a liar if you say so, too.”
exclaimed Mr. Williams angrily.
Mr. Goff objected to this language,
and Chairman I.exow tided to calm
the witness.
Williams was next questioned as to
the dimensions of his yacht, and then
as to his wealth. He said he was
worth about 835,000 or 840,000. He
had an account in the Amsterdam
bank. He owned no bonds or securi
ties, but had mining stock to the value
of 8100. His Tenth street house was
not included in this estimate. Asked
about the charges made by J. M.
Stern, editor of the Temperance Ad
vocate, that he neglected to close cer
tain gambling houses, Williams said
that he had closed one joint on East
Fourteenth street.
Then Mr. Goff turned to Captain
Schmittberger’s evidence and asked:
“Schmittberger was your confidential
man?”
i “He was not; I had no confidential
man.”
| Williams denounced Schinittberger’s
testimony against him as false and
said Schmittberger was a liar.
After a few more questions were
f answered Williams was excused, and
j Moritz Itosenfeld took the stand and
j told of appealing to Williams for pro
tection against mistreatment by po
licemen.
“But IVilliams says he does not
! know you,” interposed Mr. Goff,
j “He is a liar,” replied Roseufeld.
j “He threatened to throw me out of
j the station and said, ‘You damned
i sheeny, killed Christ for thirty pieces
; of silver, and I shall have nothing to
do with von.’ ”
POPULISTS IN CONFERENCE.
Two Hundred Leaders of the Party
Planning for 1890.
St. Loris, Mo.. Dec. 29.—The con
ference of the national committee of
the People's party, with its invited
friends, began to-day at the Lindeil
hotel in this city with an attendance
of something’ over 200, including Mrs.
Mary E. Lease and many other noted
Kansas Populists.
The meeting was called to order by
National Chairman Taubeneck and
immediately proceeded to discuss the
advisability of holding sessions in se
] cret. The debate developed some
j thing of a tangle, out of which the
! gathering pulled itself, after nearly
two hours’ discussion, by resolving
itself into an informal convention,
with Mr. Taubeneck in the chair, the
national committee proper being de
clared adjourned until 2 p. m. Secre
tary Turner of the national commit
tee was made secretary of the confer
I ence.
j Chairman Taubeneck then stated
the purpose of the conference, and,
upon motion of General Weaver, the
chair was directed, after some aimless
debate, to appoint a committee of five
upon credentials and another ten
members upon address, the latter to
prepare a summary of the advice of
. tlie conference.
The conference will consider finan
land, transportation and other ques
I tions of the day and will arrange" to
j at once begin the national campaign
i of 1890. Coxey of “Commonweal”
fame and his non-interest bearing
l bond scheme were much in evidonee.
! General J. B. Weaver of Iowa was also
conspicuous. He proposes to present
resolutions for the free coinage of
gold and silver and the issuance of
paper money by the national govern
ment alone. He believes that the
next national platform of the party
! should be devoted to that issue alone.
Those present in 4the conference
represent every section of the coun
try, from Tampa bay to Puget sonnd,
and from Boston to Galveston. Among
: the number were General J. B.
Weaver of Iowa, Henry it. Legate,
Boston; W. M. Howard, Fort Payne,
Ala., the Populist congressman from
that district; S. H. Snider, Topeka,
Kan.; S. W. Burnett. Big Springs,
Texas; E. Geary Brown. Brockton,
Mass.; A. Rozelle, Tarkio, Mo., cnair
man of the state committee; Solon C.
Thayer, Canton, Ohio; W. B. Wright
mire of Topeka, Kan.; Ignatius Don
nelly of Minneapolis; W. S. Reece of
Alabama, who is contesting Mor
gan's seat in the senate; H. E. Taube
neck, chairman of the national execu
tive committee, Marshall, III., Bad
Senator Stewart of Nevada.
MORE ICE ' ALIATION.
Austro-IIungary Likely to Follow tlie
Example of Germany. .
Washington, Doc. 2 9.—The state
department is not yet at an end of
its troubles growing out of the repeal
of the reciprocity agreements made
under the terms of the McKinley
act, and more retaliation is looked for.
Spain has already imposed upon us
the maximum discriminating tariff,
and Germany has prohibited our beef
and other great staples entry into the
empire. France is by no means dis
posed to accept the .situation her
sugar trade is placed in by the sugar
duty, and now there are strong
intimations that the new Austrian
minister, who lias not' yet even pre
sented his credentials to the presi
dent, is charged to begin an attack
upon this same sugar duty almost im
mediately, and, if concessions cannot
be secui’ed, it is expected that Austro
Hungary probably will follow the ex
ample of Germany in retaliating upon
the United States.
CHIEF TWO STICKS HANGED.

Mailt of tlie Work of tha SL I.oult Con
ference—Federation! Bitterly Attacked
and Free Coinage of Silver at the Ratio
of 16 to 1 Demanded—Setting the Ftct
for the Next Context.
The St. l.oulo Conference.
Chicago, Dec. 58.—In the opinion of
the chiefs of the People's party of Chi
cago, Judge Lyman Trumbull has
given to his countrymen a paper that
will have as much to do with per
petuating his name as will the thir
teenth amendment to the Federal
constitution, which he drafted more
than a quarter of a century ago. It
is a declaration of principles for the
guidance of the People's party of the
United States, and consists of a series
of resolutions which are to bo made
the basis of the work of the national
People's party conference, which will
convene at St. Louis tomorrow morn
ing. They are as follows;
1. Resolved, That human brother
hood and equality of rights are cardi
nal principles of true democracy.
£. Resolved, That, forgetting all
past political differences, we uuite in
the common purpose to rescuo the
government from tho control of
monopolists and concentrated wealth,
to limit their powers of perpetuation
by curtailing their privileges, and to
secure the right of free speech, free
press, free labor, and trial by jury—
all rules, regulations and judicial dicta !
in derogation of either of which are
arbitrary, unconstitutional and not to !
be tolerated by a free people.
3. We indorse the resolution adopted
by the national Republican conveu- ;
tion of 1SG0 which was incorporated
by President Liueoin in his inaugural i
address as follows: “That the main- j
tenance inviolate of the rights of the
states, and especially of the rights of
each state to order and control its 1
own domestic institutions according i
to its own judgment exclusively, ises- |
sential to that balance of* power on |
which the' perfection and endurance
of our political fabric depends, and we l
denounce the lawless invasion by j
armed force on tho soil of any state or !
territory, no matter under what pro- j
text, as among tlie gravest of crimes." j
4. Resolved, That the power given
congress by the constitution “to pro- I
vide for calling forth the militia to j
execute the laws of the union, to sup- j
press insurrection and repel invas- 1
ions,” does not warrant the govern- !
ment in making use of the standing |
army in aiding monopolies in the op
pression of their employes. When
free men unsheath the sword it should
be to strike for liberty, not for despo
tism or to uphold privileged monopo
lies in the oppression of the poor.
5. Resolved, That to check the rap
id absorption of the wealth of the
country and Us perpetuation in a few
hands, we demand the enactment of
laws.limiting' the amount of property
to be acquired by devise or inherit
(i. Resolved, That we denounce the
issuing- of interest-bearing bonds by
the govern -nent in times of peace to
be paid for, in part, at least, bv gold
drawn from the treasury, which re
sults in the government's paying
interest on its own money.
7. Ilesoived, That we demand that
congress perform its constitutional
duty to coin money, regulate the
value thereof and of foreign coin by
the enactment of laws for the free
coinage of silver with that of gold at
the ratio of 10 to 1.
fi. Resolved, That monopolies affect
ing the public interest should be
owned and operated by the govern
ment in the interest of the people, all
employes of Jtlie same to be governed
by civil service rules, and no one to be
employed or discharged on account of
polices.
9. Resolved, That we inscribe on
our banners "Down with monopolies
and millionaire control; up with the
rights of man and the masses,” and
under this banner we march to the
polls and to victory

LETTER PROM MR. tNQALLS.
Tk# Ka-Senator A|»lMt Prohibitory
ThrllT Low*—rolltlool Condition*.
Torr.KA, Kan., Dec. 33.—The Alma
Enterprise this week has a letter from
John J. Ingalls in which he discusses
briefly the political conditions in stato
and country. Following la a t;".«'t of
the letter:
“During the past month i are
▼islted nearly all the Norther., and
Eastern states and have also been in
Virginia, West Virginia and Ken
tucky. Urent satisfaction is expressed
every where at the result in Kansas,
and much interest is manifested in
the future policy of the state.
"As the political revolution gained
its first notable triumph in Kansas,
the overthrow of Populism here has
greater significance than elsewhere
and our responsibility for the exer
cise of the power to which we have
been restored is largely in
creased. We were defeated in
1893 because tlepiibllcnns were dis
contented with existing economic, in
dustrial and financial conditions. We
were victorious in 1894 because Dem
ocrats and Populists had become con
vinced that tlicir leaders were cor
rupt and imbecile and that the reme
dies proposed for the evils wo endure
were ineffectual and pernicious.
They reinforced Republicans cither
by voting for our candidates or refus
ing to support their own.
"The meaulng of the two elections,
as I interpret them, is that the mass
of the people are opposed alike to pro
hibitory tariffs and to free trade, and
that they demand a system of pro
tection that will bo equally beneficial
to labor and to capital. They will
not be satisfied with any system that
permits a few privileged manufactur
ers to control the entire sugar pro
duction and compels the people to
pay millions into their treasury, and
at the same time allows them without
penalty to close tlicir works and
throw thousands of iaborors out of
employment whenever they desire to
raise the price of tlicir products and
gamble in their watered stocks.
The issues of to-day are well de
fined and must bo mot with vigor.
The question of protection is settled,
liimetalism is at tho front, as tho
basis of a more elastic, copious and
stable circulating medium. To this
must be added the establishment of
justice in tho relation between em
ployers and employed and a more
equitable distribution of the burdens
and benefits of s -ci-tv.
