In which It appeals that ho wus suspended
I mm ollico for tils apparent no.'Iect of olllcial
duties In making caniiiiilmi speeches. Pic-
Miiinubly my suspension was ordeied for the
same icason. I desire , thoiefore , to state the
facts In my case 1 made but two speeches
prioi to the lecelptof the outer of suspension :
one at liutter , in an adjoining county , on tlie
livening of Oct. 1 , and one at Kittannlng , a
town neai Plttsburg , on the e\enliu of Oct.2.
1 did not leaxe Piltsbun : for Butler until
nearly I o'clock , Oct. 1 , and retuined on tlm
moinlug of the M about t ) o'clock. 1 left
Pittsburg lor Kittannlng Satuiuay , Oct , 2 ,
about 5 o'clock p. 111. , and leturned the same
night. Upon both tbe above dates the
United States courts here were not In session
cxcepl a shorl time in tlie morning each < tay
for ordinary business. I was in at-
toiidanco upon the courts during their
sittings and did not leave the city upon
either occasion until long alter tlie courts
had adjourned. On October 18 the United
States district court began Its session at
Pittsburg for the trial ol jury causes , a petit
nnd grand juiy ticlng In attendance. Horn
October'J until October 181 was eiuagcd In
the picpar.uion of causes for trial , and from
October IB until October 27 , the date of the
receipt ol the order of .suspension , i was en
gaged In the trial of thoiu causes. Neither
liming this period , Irom October & to Octo
ber 27 , nor nt any other lime , did 1 In any
particular ne.-lect the duties of my olilce.
These statomeuls may bo verified bv Inquiry
ol any otllcer of our courts. 1 feel it my duty
lifter reading the coriespondonce ot the pies-
identaiid Bunion to state these facts in jus
tice to myelf , and icspectfully request that
this communication bo refeiied to the presi

KxirL'TiviMAXsioN. : Nov. 2:1. : Hon. A.
II. Carland , Attorney General , Dear Sir :
I have rend tlio letter of the istti iust. . writ
ten to you by William A. Stone , lately sus
pended from oflice as distilct attorney for the
western district of Pennsylvania , and tlio
Hiibjoct matter to which It lofers has received
my carefulconsidciatlon. I .shall not Impute
to tlm writer any mischievous motive In his
plainly erroneous assumption that ids case
and tlintof lienton , iccently suspended and
lelnstated , ic.st upon the same state of facts ,
but prefer to regard Ids letter as containing
the best statement possible upon the ques
tion of Ids loinstatciucnt. You remember ,
of couise. BOOH after the picsent admlnlslia-
tlon was installed , and I think nearly a year
nnd a half ago , 1 considered with you cer
tain charges which had been prelcricdauainst
Stone as a fedeinl olllcial. You remember ,
too , thai the action that we then contemplated
was withheld by reason of the excuses mid
explanations ol his friends. Those excuses
nnd explanations Induced me to believe that
Stone's retention would Insure the faithful
performance of ofliclal fluty , and that what
ever olTensiue paitlsanship he might deem
justifiable In other clicumstances , ho would ,
( luring his continuance In olilce nt bis re
quest under nn administration opposed to
him In political creed and policy , content
himself with tbe quiet and unobtrusive en
joyment of his political privileges. I cer
tainly supposed that bin sense ot propriety
would cause him to lelraln from pursuing
.such a partisan com so as would oiilyollend
nnd Irritate the Iricnds ol the administration
who insisted that ho should not b.t retained
in oflice. either because ot his personal merit ,
or In adhciance to Ihu methods which for a
long time prevailed in the distribu
tion ot ledeinl ofllces. In the light
of a belter system , and without cousldcimi :
his political aflllations , hione , wluin per
mitted lo remain in olilce. became part ot the
business organi/atloii ot tlie present admin-
istialion , bound by ON cry obligation of honor
to assist , within his splieie , In Its sueeo-islul
operation. Tills obligation involved not
only n proper performance of otliclal duty ,
but certain good faith and fidelity , widen ,
w Idle not exacting tlio least sacrbice of polit
ical principle , forbade active paitlcipntloii In
partisan demonstrations of a pronounced
type , undertaken tor the purpose of advanc
ing partisan Inteiests , and conducted upon
the avowed tlieoiy that the administration of
the government was not entitled to tlm con
fidence and respect of tlio people. There
Is no dispute whatever , concerninic
the fact that Stone did join others
who were campalglng the statu ot Penn
sylvania In opposition to tlie admlnistiatlon.
It appears , too , that lie was active and
piominent w lib noisy enthusiasm in nttend-
unce upon nt least two huge public meetings :
his speech was hugely devoted to abuse and
misrepresentation of the admlnistiatlon ;
that Im appioved nil this and actnallv ad-
dtesscd meetings himself In somewhat the
same strain ; that ho attended such meetings
away from his home lor the pinposoof mak
ing such addiesscs ; nnd that ho was adver
tise d as one of tlio spcakcisat each ot said
meetini.rs. 1 shall accent as true tlie statement
of Stone that tlm lime spent by him In thus
deiiioiistiatinghls willingness to bold a pro-
litable ollico at the bauds ot an admlnistia
tlon which ho endeavored to dlscicdit with
the people , and which dad justly ovcilookcd
Ids previous offenses , did not lest In neglect
( d oidlnaiy olllcial duties , hut Ids conducthas
hioiighttnlitlitsuchanunfiioiidliic.sstnwanl !
thondiiilnlstiation which he pretends to servo ,
nnd ot which hu Is nomlnallv n pan , ami
such consequent lack of loyal intcte.it in Its
success , that tlie safest and surest minranty
of ids laithlnl seivlco Is , In my opinion , en-
tliely wanting. Ills couisu In INclt Is such
ns should not have been enteied upon \\lillu
maintaining olllcial iclatlons to the adminis
tration , It also leiiewsand revives , with tin-
mistal-able Interiiietntlon ot their ehanictci
and intent , tlie cliiirges of offensive partisanship -
ship lieietotoie made , ami up to this time
held In abeyance. Stone and othti.s of like
disposition are not to suppose tliatpaity
lines aie so tar obliterated that tlio adminis
tration of the government K to be trusted ,
In places high or low , to tliosu whonggrcs-
Hively and constantly endeavor , unfairly , to
destroy the coiiudcnco of the people in tlie
party icsponslblu for such admlnistintion.
While vicious partisan methods should not
) > e allowed lor partisan purposes to
degrade or Injure the nublio service ,
It Is my belief that nothing tends so
much to discredit our elforts In the interest
of such service , to treat fairlv and ueneioublj
the otliclal incumbency of political ojipo
iients , as conduct such as Ishcio disclosed.
The pi'ople of this country certainly do not
icinifrtMlio best icsults ot administrative en
deavor to be reached with such ast-neles as
these. Upon lull consideration of nil I have
before mo , 1 am constrained to decline the

Strange Aotlon of the New York
Hoodlcr's ilnry.
Niw : YOIIK , Nov. 21. At 11:40 : the jury In
Iho McQundu case came Into the room , and
Foreman Lynn stated they had not agreed
upon n verdict , nddlng , "We have remained
the same since 12 o'clock Monday night. "
Rccoidcr Smyth said he did not think It was
worth while to keep the jury loinier , and
nskcd tl'.e district nttornov for his opinion ,
Maitlne thought If tlm status of the jury re
mained unchanged since 12 o'clock Monday
night , they had bettei bo discharged , The
recorder thcicupon discharged the jury.
Maitlne then nddies'ed the couit. Ho felt
ho litid performed bis whole duty in the mat
ter , and Ids assistants had worked manfully.
They had presented the full case , nnd he was
nt u loss to understand how the jury or aay
body could fall to ngree upon some verdict.
Ho tell the lesult ol this tilnl was a public
calamity , and the ca u should bo called fern
n speedy le-trlal. Ho therefore moved fora
new trial Monday next. N'eweombo thought
he needed more time lor n now tilal. The
iccorder thought that the lawjers had ample
preparation . nnd Im theielore granted the
motion tor n new tilal , lo begin Monday next
at 11 a. m
To the general surpilso it was learned that
the tii.st ballot taken by the jury nt midnight
Monday had .stood nine tor acquittal nnd
thiee for conviction. There were only three
ballots after that , all of which stood the same !
The three who held out for conviction weie
Lounsberry , Dotigheity ami l'iy , nil
of whom aio commeiclal men.
The scene about tlm court house
was one of excitement , nnd the iccepllon ol
the announcement of the status of the jury
was anything but Mattel Ing lo Iho nine who
could not see conviction In the evidence.
The general uxpiesslon has been , .since the
close of the evidence , that tlio only hone for
Mctjuado was that the sympathy of some
juior had been vvoiked on by New-
combo's plea for his wlfo and clill-
dien , or that some juror , dlsiMistcd
nnd distrustful of Informers , ( Kullgralf and
Dully ) had entlielj disregarded their evi
dence , or. Hint some juror , hopeful that his
net would pioduce rccompcncc. would disre
gard his oath nnd vote without legnid to evi
dence. McQuadc was lemandcd to the
Tombs.
It is rumored that the jury was tampered
with , but the authorities do not cicilil tlie
minor.
Trial oCIUotcrs.
Mn.wAt'KKi : , Nov. 24. The trial of eleven
defendants chaigcd with rioting at Milwau
kee garden , May G last , in defiance of Mayor
Wnllber's proclamation , proclaiming nira'ust
unlawful assemblages , is now fairly under
way. Yesterday afternoon and this morn
ing a largo number of wit
nesses , piinclpaliy police ofliceis ,
were intioduced by thu prosecution. They
all gave testimony of a damaging character
against the defendants. More witnesses were
produced by tlie districtatloiney when Judge
Sloan interpo.icd and said It would be only
wasting time to swear any nuno men. Ho
said the prosecution had already proven their
case and It now remained for the defense to
present their side. Counsel for
tlio defense objected to the ludce's
summary manner of doing tilings when the
Intler lold them ttio state had made out acood
case and lie would charge the jury accoid-
Ingly on the evidence thus far iivcn. Ho
said they had a right to appeal it dissatisfied
with his ruling. Council tor the defense
then stated they would endeavor
to prove tills afternoon that the de
fendants weie peaceable eitl/eiis ami had
niciely assembled nt the Milwaukee uarden
out of curiosity. Witnesses for the defense
nro being examined this afternoon.
Amonir those who were placed on tlie stand
this morning was Mayor Wallber. He tes
tified to the Issuance ot the law and older
pioclamatlon nnd lo having visited tlie Mil
waukee garden tlio day of the riot. Inci
dentally , the mayor said be had never turned
over the city to the state authorities.

well known Chlcagoan who is now in
Kuropo. This latter gentleman a member ,
by tlio by , of all the clubs here went to
Kmopo to sell cattle lanchcs to rich aristo
crats ot England and the continent. Ho
cabled Swan , one of whoso ranches he had ,
that he had Hie propeity sold tor a splendid

payments were to bo made. Swan had some
p.utncrs in tills venture , and as soon us lie
got tills cable ho skunicd around and boughl
out on liberal terms bis partners' interest It
turns out now that the Chicago man wasn't
ns straight as he should have been. The first
payment was nol made , nnd when called on
for explanation , the well known club man
said , rather weakly , thai the trade had fallen
tluoudi. This left thu iiiillioiinlro.catllGinnn

was only one of the men taken in and done

Nchraika'H Senior Sonnttir Talks.
WA IIIXOTON' . Nov. 2-1. [ Special Tele
gram to the Hr.R.J This evening's Ctitlc
publishes n talk with Senator Van Wjck on
the senatorial outlook in NVbraskn , in which
he says : "Only the outposts have been cap
tured and wo are still on tlie picket lines as
far as the scnntoilal contest is concerned.
The preliminary battles have been well
fought , the veullct ot the people secured , the
election of n republican legislature accom
plished , and T have settle 1 down in Wash
ington nnd will watch the rest of the con
test at long lange nhd very cheerfu lly.
Everything looks hopeful , but tlieio is still n
battle to be fought , and the opposition is de
termined and Influential. It is rather prcnm-
tine for mo to discuss what my couise would
be In a closely divided senate. Jt would
bo what It has always been. 1
have no apologies to make , no reforms
to promise , no excuses to plead. 1 guess 1
have been n good enough republican for the
mass of the icpubiican voters , and I expect
always to bo so. Questions raised as to my
partisan fidelity aie not sincere. It is not
for tieason to party principles that 1 am ar
raigned In fact , but for tieason against the
rule of monopoly and corpoiatlon power. If
I bowed to the money kings there would bo
no question as to my paity fealty. A icpub
iican leader in the scnntc can refuse to inlso
his voice In behalf of n republican candidate
for the presidency for fear ho would have to
say uncomplimentary things. That Implies
no lack of pai ty loyalty , but simply shows
that tlds good senator , like Washington , can
not tell a lie. Departures from party lines ,
far greater than 1 have ever made , go tinre-
bukcd. 1 am a good enough republican for
the masses , but as I incur the opposition
of the monopolies and moneyed Intel ests it Is
easy enough to question my political integ
rity when tbey want to pull mo down.
lilalno and Kandall can make the same
speeches in Pennsylvania , Atlantic coast re
publicans can assail u lepublican for
tieason who don't accept all their doctrines
of finance and tarilT and everything else , but
this dissent don't throw any doubt upon their
republicanism farther west. lam denounced
as unfaithful to my patty lor advocating free
lumber , but republicans in my part of tlie
country don't think that unrcpubllcan. They
aio trying to use this party question against
mo in my own state. They me sayinc that it
is plain to see why the democrats want Van
AVyck when tlie senate Is cloe because they
icly on him for help. This plea is not sin-
ceie. Thev know that 1 am a irood enough
republican nccoiding to any stnndaid that
could bo applied in the senate. They know
that 1 am not on the leiice. They know
what I have done , and they can infer what 1
would do. My course In a. new senate would
be what my course in tlie senate has always
been , nnd nobody that was honest and nn-
trammcicd by corporation Influence and
monopolists' money need complain or have
apinohension as to my actions. "
SCANDALOUS I'oi.icc nnnsiox.
The commissioners rendered their decision
to-day on the police investigation. It Is
characterised as the boldest piece of injustice
ever perpetrated on the public. Some time
ago Lieutenant At nold claimed that liis chief ,
Major Walker , during a conversation with
the lieutenants , instructed them to look after
congiessmeu , and should they discover any
thing crooked .as regards their habits , to re
port to him. Auiold spoke of this to Ids
sergeant , but enjoined seeicuv , which tlio
latter did not heed. The btorv came out and
nn investigation wasordeied. Walker and
tlneeor tour lieutenants swore that 110 such
suggestion was made. Arnold and another
lieutenant , wholiad hetetoforeoecn regaided
ns enemies , testlgco that such nn outer was
promulgated. There weie other minor
facts , but the case hinged on
tlie lieutenant's testimony alone. The
commissioners' report dismisses Ar
nold and accepts Walker's icsignation ,
Tills is a curious state of nllairs ,
for it is very obvious that eltliei one or the
other should bo exonerated , wheieas tlio
prosecuting witness ami defendant are both
convicted. They also state In tlio report that
Ainold was guilty of misrepresenting public
men. This uoes entiielv out ot tlie iccord ,
which is not allow able at law. The fact is
thnthomlsiepresented no one , only told the
truth ns to a noted .statesman , who was
known to have sta\cd In a house of ill repute
lor two weeks. The commissioners also sus
pended Lieutenant Kelly for three months
for false sweating. Tills is considered ridic
ulous , for Kelly swore to the same tacts as
did Arnold. A lesolution ol hnjniry will be
intuuliicedby Congiessmaii A.uns , of New
Yoik , when the house meets. The lawyeis
ail agree that it Is the most abominable de
cision that ever came under their notice , nnd
that there was no evidence on thu face ol tiie
recoidto wairant tlm dismissal of Lieuten
ant Ainold. It is said tlie commissioners
submitted their repot t to the president , who
appnned bcfoie making It public.

President Cleveland is opposed , or at least
questions , the policy ol nlloting lands In sev-
cialty to Indians. Dr. T. A. Bland , editor of
the Council Fire , will , with authority , this
week quote the president as sayintt on this
subject : "It is the wish of this administra
tion that a coircct Indian policy should pie-
vall a policy which shall , as rapidly as Is
sate , make Indians clti/ens with homes in
se\eriltv. : Hut we must not go too fast on
tills. Wo aio perplexed by tlio fact that
fiiendsof tlie Indians do not agree on this
\ilal question , 1 have been v. . sited by committee
mitteeof associations who uige the immedi
ate division of Indian lands and tlm opening
ot Indian icservatlons to settlement by iho
whites , I s'lht to one committee who called
upon methat if the icscrvatlons were opened
the woist and not the best class of our pcoplo
would null In. 1 svant honest and ellicicnt
agents in the Indian torvlce , but when 1 10-
move nconupt agent , committees come down
upon me , protest against and denounce me
for It. "
We said : "Red Cloud nnd his pcoplo are
much pleased with their ncwa.gcnt , Colonel
( iallnghor. of Indiana. "
"Yes ; 1 nave heard so. " ho responded , "and
leainestly hope that he may do Ills duty
tiiithfnllv , foi if ho fails us 1 don't know
what to do. Helms a good oppoitunity to
make a noble iccord. I hope Im may do so ,
If 1 could get good agents for nil thu In
dians , men of ability , hone.sty , and nn
earnest desire to do rMit by the Indians and
advance them ns rapidly as possible In Chris
tian civilization , 1 should have no fenis ot
success. Krlends of thu Indians do not help
mo in tlds matter. 1 wish they would. Thu
pay of Indian agents is so small that men
who are qualified for tlio position must go
Into tno woik in u spirit of saciilico if they
go at all. "

CiiifA o , Nov. S4 , [ Special Telegram to

the lollowlng special fiom the City of Mo\-
ice : The American colony In this city Is
inoloiinilly agitated and woiked by uu alT.ilr
which became public to-day ami which touch
es American pildo to a degree even surpas
sing tliu Sedgwlck aftalr. 'I'lils story In brief
is to the effect Unit the new Amciican min
ister , Hon. Thomas II. Manning , ol Louis
iana , has ( 'alien u victim to the lolentloss
enemy of 31 r. Sedgwlek. , lust how the full
particulars Imvo become so thoroughly
known docs not appear for the icason that
no one ileshcs to assume the responsibility
of llrst making known the condition of tliu
minister. Last Thuisdny nfteruoon Mr.
Manning atlondcd a dinner Riven In
his honor by M. L. ( iuliaid , one
ot tlm leading members of the American
colony , and son-in-law to the Into Minister
Morgan. Culraul Is n Louisiana Kicnchman
and at picsent holds the. lespotisiblo position
of neneial manager of the Mexican Telephone
company. Many of the most distinguished
Mexican politicians nnd bankers wore pres
ent at the banniict to meet the now minister.
At tliu conclusion of the banquet Judge Man
ning icpaiied to his rooms ami was not
again scon on the stioel until to-day. Friday ,
Satuidny and Sunday Judge Mannlugfwns
icported by the secretary ol tlio legation ami
others as being 111 and confined to his room.
It is now stated , however , that the dis
tinguished gentleman , dining the four en
tire days iollowlni : the banquet , was in a
frenzied state and continued to
Indulge so freely that his secretary nnd the
lnterpiol r could not male him rcall/c what
he was doing. Yesterday rumors of his con
dition began to leak out , It is thought through
set mnts , nnd possibly tluough the Inter
preter. The .secretary ot the legation called
on un old member of the Amciican colony
nn U together they finally succeeded , by n lib-
eial use of medicines , In biingiug the minis
ter to icalUc Ills situation. As boon as Man
ning realized what had transnired his secre
tary visited the newspaper olllces nnd corres
pondents and tried to induce them to say
nothing about the matter. The seci 'tary
made his lounds yesterday ( Monday ultei-
110011) ) out met with such poor success
that ho advised Manning to call In
a moie experienced triend , who knt'W the
newspaper men. This gentleman , who is an
Amciican. labored haul to .suppicss mention
ot the alfalr and succeeded lor the time
being , by making strange pledges in the
name of Judge Manning that the occurrence
would nut be repealed. Owinsr to the tact
that the minister's vile nnd daimhter weic
duo toniiivo by this morninir's ti.iiu , they
suppiessed the stoiy piovidcd the matter did
not become noioilous through the city when
luithcr attempts at concealment would be
Impossible. This airangenient was made
last evening , hut to-day the matter has be
come so thoroughly spread over the city that
the corespondents consldeied themselves
released item their ngiecment to withhold
It from the American papers , especially
as telegrams had been received meantime
from papers In the United States , showing
they liad cognizance through the same source
of the affair. . Judge Manning Rent word that
lie had determined to lace the music , nnd
bad nlieady cabled Secretary Bayard the
whole truth ami would abide the result. The
minister leels his position keenly. His es
timable wile and daughter ai rived to-day ,
and tlie news was told them by the judge
himself. Guirard , the pcison at whoso ta
ble the banquet oceiiricd. is the some j.i-ison
who introduced Knvoy Sedwlck to the iiiem-
beis of the famous jockey club. It Is thought
on all sides that the unfoitunnto event will in
all piobablllty lead to the caily icsignation
ot Minister Manning.
