TIH : i'iiisiiiNT's I.AST MISTAKE.
The Iowa rcpiesentatlves aio Indlgnantovcr
tlio president's action in vetoing the bill to
quiet the titles of settlcis on the DCS Moines
liver lands. The uill passed both houses al
most without opposition. It had been bufoio
congress several ycais , passing ono branch
ono session and the other the next , but never
getting through both In ono year. It was
live times unanimously icpoitcd liom Iho
committees , and passed tlio last house as well
as this onc. It Is at least unfoitunato for the
piesident Ihat tlio bill which ho vetoed
chanced to bo advciso to the Inteiests of cer
tain capitalists of Ids own state. Judge Pay-
son said to day that there was neither edge ,
side nor bottom to the veto message of Picsl-
dent Cleveland. Ho has no doubt that the
bill will bo passed in tlio house over the veto ,
and predicts that the majoilty will bo as
much as eight to one. The
Iowa delegation , especially Major Holmes ,
havobeen actively canvassing the house to
day In behalf of the bill , and they aio veiy
much encouraged to-night over its prospects.
Ono of the democratic members oxpresse d
himself to-day in private conversation as ol
tlio belief that the veto of this bill would cost
the party at least 10,000 votes In Iowa In the
coming congressional election. He thought
that the chances for the election of tlio demo
crats had been seriously impaliod by the ac
tion of tlio picsldent , and ho said that he did
not sec how It would bo possible to recover the
lost ground now , even if the bill should bo
passed over the veto. But for all that , ho
should do everything In his power to secuio a
big vole against tlio piesidcnt on the meas
ure.

WAMIIXOTO.V , March 12. The special com
mittee ot the house engaged with the inquiry
into tlio issuance of Pan Electilc telephone
stock to public olllceis , icsumed its Invcstiga-
Ions to-day. Joseph Pulitzer of the New
Yoik Woild took the stand. He said Ids
lame had been connected with publications
touching certain telephone stocks. Ho as-
tuned Iho lesponsibllity lor the publication
of those tacts. "I and f alone am icsponsiblo
and no ono else , " said Pullt/or. ' 'No human
jeiug has tried to influence me in any man
ner whatever. I do not know a human being
; o-day , so far as I am awaic , who Is a block-
holder or interested in the Bell Telephone
company. 1 had no motive other than that
arising fiom a feeling that the publication ot
thcso facts weie In the mituro ot news , and
In the natuio of public seivice. " Pulitzer
said he did not know a stockholder in the
Hell or any of thoiival companies to the Pan
Klectrlc , lie dcsiied even moio than the
committee to asccitain whether any papeis
liad been impioperly influenced. lie had
been barely intioduced to Senator Hairis , and
knew ( iarfaiid and peisonally liked him vciy
much. Outsldeot thutwoirciUlcmeu named in
the publications , he did not Know any person
in congress who had any interest in the Pan
Elcctiic company and ho did not think theie
was any. "I do not own a single shaie of
telephone stock or any speculative block of
any kind. I not only do not own any Bell
stock , but do not know anybody holding any
Inteicstin the company. "
J. II. lioccis , thu inventor , said he had In
vented a number of electiical devices which
had been tiansferred to the Pan Electric
company , lie gave a history of the organ-
i/atlon ot the company , with Goneial Joseph
E. Johnston , Geneial Atkins , and Senatois
Harris and Uailand as Incorporators , who
wcie not to pay any money for their intciest.
Governor Blown of Missouri came into
the company on the same teims. Some
other parties embarked in the cntoi-
priso but paid for their stock. The company
hold state rights usually for liom
§ 5,000 to § 10,000 roj alty on investments , and
accitaln pioportlon of the local block. The
agciegato of the dividends paid out by the
company was between 530,000 and SiX,030.
The suit brought by the govciniuent last
summer against the Bell company was the
next subject of Investigation , and tlio witness
said that the only confeu-nco he had with any
of his associates pilor to the bringing of the
suit had been with Yoang some time In July.
His lather was also pic&ent. The conveisa-
tlon was hold at witness' house. Young
called theio ami Informed them tlio govcui-
ment would bung buit. Itogcrs , sr. , asked
whether Garland had piomlscd to

Itogcrs sr. said. "If Gailand has
piomibcd lie will do it. " Young said that
Garland had a delicacy about bringing the
suit hlmsclt and everything would bo lett to
Goodo. Kogeis sr. , asked whether Geode
would act it the matter vvero lelt with him.
Young said that was all right ; Geode was
our tiicnd , or lilendly to us was not our
enemy and he ( Young ) believed ho would
rather have Geode than Gailand. The suit
was Instituted about ono or two months after
that conversation. Witness had no convci-
bation with Geode In legaid to the suit.

The people , Mr. Kcnna continued , were un
able locliangctiielr officials except through
the executive. When the people elected
( Jrovcr Cleveland to the presidency It was for
the purpose of effecting such -change as
would make the government conform to the
popular will. It was that the former mar
shals and collectors , and postmasters , and
consuls , and mlnlstcis should go , so fai as
necessary , and that if necessary to carry out
tlio purposes of the government in good
faith , then that thov should all go.
In conclusion Mr. Kcnna said : When
President Cleveland assumed the functions
of the office of chief executive of this govern
ment I don't believe theie Is a citizen in this
laud who had any reason whatever to doubt
that ho came to discharge the duties
of that hluh office determined ,
as far as in Ids power lay , to
devotua conservative and palilotle applica
tion to the discharge of these duties. 1 be
lieve I speak within bounds when I say that
this vvliolo country knew that the 0110 great
Ideaofbervlug his country in an acceptable
manlier in thu high position tor which it had
selected him for high seivico was his only
aspiration , 1 would fall to expiess my own
candid conviction now if 1 did not say that
looking back fiom thu long lluu of his pie-
dccessois lu that high office , and confronting
as ho may Issues presented there , ho
will not be the fust in surrendering
Its high pieiogatlvcs. The seiiatu may con
tinue , as his message Indicates , to ply him
and his various .suboidlnatu departments
with harrassUm and embarrassing issues : it
may defeat evciy nomination that stands be
fore It forconsldeiallon ; it mayabseit in any
measuic , arbltiary or otherwise , uvery pie-
logatlvc granted or not gianted in tlio con
stitution , but I mistake that man if ho does
not stand firmly to his post , maintain his
sworn duty under the constitution of his
country , maintaining oveiy pierogatlve of

stoio them to consciousness. At 10 o'clock
Muiphylmd milled a little , but Ford Is still
inconscious. The crime for \\hlch Void and
Murphy wcio to bo hanged Is w Ithont a par-
illcl In tlio hlstoiy ot Now Orleans. The
itgh posttlou of the accused and those
associated with him , the bold
ness and audacity of the crlmo itself ,
and the social , political and financial Influ

Into eternity and a hush tell upon the little

The chop was about eight feet , Thn bodies
weio allowed to haiic twenty-live minutes
and weio cut down at 1:15. : The same jury
which witnessed the hanging viewed the

verdict of death by hanging , which dislocated
the necks of both men. The botlks will betaken

Butler , In an intvervlew , stated that ho had
taken c\ery piecaution to avoid what had

against any attempt at loscuo. AVhen the
