DUIILIN , April 10. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to the BIK. : ] Thn events ol
the week here Imvo been the presentation ot
magnificent wedding gifts tu Mrs. Mlcliicl
Davltt. Her husband on this Easter day
must , by contrast , recall tlio several dismal
Ka'ster day.s ho spent between prison walls ,
as described In his published recollections.
Few American tourists visit this city without
making excursions by railway or by tlio turn
pike road that skirts the const southward to
the Bray. During their short Journey , and
about nine miles soutncist from Dublin , they
would pass the villa residences ot the su
burban liallybock. liallyLiook looks out upon
Klllarney bay , and to the south of this , a
panorama of beauty , the Slianganagh valley ,
which Is crowned by the Sugar Loaf moun
tain and Brayhead. Among thc.so residences
was a snuggery , appropprlately named Eden
Hill cottage. Quietly and unostentatiously
a committee Mlchrcl of Davitt's friends col
lectcd funds to buy that property , not for the
father of the land Icairuo , whoso dellcy as to
gifts is well known , but as a weddlncpresent
for his bride. The committee tastefully fur
nished Eilon Hill cottage from roof to collar.
They relald thn lawn with turf and sham
rock ; they studded the terrace with bulbs and
flowering plants "for bridal blossoms , " Bald
James Urchin , of Cablnetorly , a prominent
coinmlttccman. The kitchen garden was not
neglected , nor were the small fruits and the
miniature hot-house. In Mrs. Davitt's bor
dolrthuy placed an American piano ; In her
husband's library tlio crayon picture which
Boston had sent and of which Dully was the
artist , as ho was of General Collins' portrait
that hangs In the National league headquarters -
tors in UpporO'Connoll street. Allot this
havlngbccn perfected , the-commltteo escorted
the happy couple to this their new home.
Mrs. Davitt's delight was evident as the car
riage was driven out of the roadway Into i
branching avenue lined with trees , Hanked
by shrubbery , and past the garden wall , cov
ered with red blossoming vines. The sub
scribing ladles and gentlemen , somewhat In
the fashion of an American surprise party
wore awaiting their hostess and host In the
cozy drawing-room. .Mr. Michael MacEnorny
a barrister , holding the title deeds In his
hand , nt once made the presentation speech
Then Miss Kate O'llellly , blushing will :
eagerness , handed an Illuminated address
referring to the piano , and finally Dr. Duffy
on behalf of Bostonian friends , uncovered
the picture after a few oplgramatlc sen'
tences. This concluded , Mrs. Davitt , holding
her husband's hand , responded.
Tlin 1'HESr.NTATION SPEECH.
Mr. MacKnery , barrister , when delivering
the title deeds , said : "We feel assured thai
Mr. Davltt has told you that ever nearest and
dearest to the Irish heart la the thought ol
homo. Around it our hopes , fears and at
fectlons are entwined as Inseparably as the
evergreen Ivy which you have seen , after a
lapse of couturlos of storm and change clings
BO closely to the old castles and round towers
of this land. As there is no man living who
has done so much as he to save the homos ot
our poor people from destruction , wo believe
you will recognize In the form of the gift
offer you tlio spirit which prompts us when
wo take the liberty ot presenting you with a
cottage homo In harmony with his simple
tastes and situated In a locality endeared to
him by many tender associations of friend
ship and by the recollection of his fruitful
labors on behalf of the cabin homes of Ire
land. "
A VTOMANLY ADnitKSS.
The womanly address accompanying the
piano included these sentences : "knowing
your husband's deep and tender love for
music , and having heard with delight ot your
eminent accomplishments In that art , we
think the most appropriate gift is this Ameri
can cottage piano. You may have been told
that the daughters of Erlu are bright exam
ples ot all womanly duties. Wo beg to assure
you that wo regard as foremost our duty to
our beloved country. The mystic spell of
this devoted land makes all who come to
dwell among us more Irish than the Irish
themselves , and wo fool assured in you this
historic saying will receive a new aud illus
trious proof. As the wife of Michael Davltt ,
as a daughter of the h me of freedom , it will
bo pre-eminently your duty , as we believe
your pleasure , by your gentle persuasiveness ,
under his loving guidance , to lead us in
moulding the manhood of Ireland to the glori
ous form of freedom known In America. "
GOOD WISHES FIIOM I10STON.
Dr , Duffy remarked : "I know that to the
wish and prayers expressed hero to-night for
your future happiness and that ot your dis
tinguished husband , I can add those ot the
Irish race In America , aud especially your
hosts of friends In lioston. "
juts. JJAVITT'B iinri.Y.
Mrs. Davltt modestly , but with graceful
.eclat and self-possession , responded. She
wore an Irish poplin dress , trimmed with
Irish lace , and all who saw her.in Amolrca
can well imagine how proud and happy she
looked. In the course of her very heartfelt
remarks she observed : "I wish 1 were
gifted with the power of expressing In words
all which my heart is throbbing to utter this
moment. Valuable RS Is the unique and
splendid present which you give mo , It does
not call forth the same extent of gratltuo as
does the silent manner In which the testimonial
menial Itself has been prepared , or the
true spirit ot hospitality In which
it has been presented. In this respect your
too generous gilt is In keeping with the nets
of the warm , generous welcome I have ex
perienced at the hands of the people of Ire
land since my arrival la the land which I
have longed to make my homo from the time
I tirst learned to lorn It as the birthplace of
my parents. I know quite well , In present
ing me with this lovely cottage home , which
you have furnished with every luxury and
embellished with such admirable taste , you
liad In the end the future comfort of my dear
husband. Your motives In thus considering
his future welfare are In keeping mlth my
highest ambition , which is to make that fu
ture , as far as 1 possibly cau , a contrast with
the trials aud sutTcrlnga which have sur
rounded his life In the past"
Turning to the ladles , and referring to their
Sift , she continued : "There Is no work which
you could wish me to do for the freedom of
Ireland , no sacrlllco which woman could bo
expected to make , that I would not cheerfully
tender to see an end put to the tyranny oxer-
cited by the English rule In this country , and
to win for the Irish people a government as
free as that which the exiled portion of our
race enjoy in tar own native land. "
Next , In expressing her thanks for the pic
ture , she asked Dr. Duffy to "convey to these
Wuo b v sent to ru UiU magnificent per
trait from Boston my slncorcst thanks for so
acceptable a present , which I think the most
perfect likeness 1 have seen. " In conclusion
Mrs. Davltt most aptly added : " 1 do not
think 1 shall bo acting contrary to your
wishes , or these of my numerous friends who
co-operated In this expensive work , If I pro
pose to change the name ot Eden Hill to that
of Land League Cottage. "
This was greeted with the heartiest chorus
of ' ' . "
'Aye , aye.
DAVITT'S wonns OP THANK * .
Every one now regarded Davltt , who then
got up. As he did so there w.\s only one
thing lacking to make these Incidents and
the tableaux entirely dramatic thn picsenco
In the background of the judge who sen
tenced him and of the barbarous wardens
who superintended his Imprisonment , so
that they might observe and point as a lesson
from the passing scene whether coercion
could do what Halfour claims it can toward
extinguishing Irish patriotism. Davltt stood
quietly a moment , and then almost sobbed
out the few words that some day will become
as memorable as many now quoted from
Emmet and Flt/.ircrald : " 1 cannot odd
anything to what my wife has al
ready spoken. These splendid testimonials
are a too gouerous recognition of these
humble services of mine In Ireland's btnurele
arc so many moro nroofs added to these
over and over iriven of the exaggerated call-
mate which the Irish people have been pleased
to form of my part In tlio national movement.
I only hope that In the homo which has beun
provided for me and mine , aud so lavishly
adorned by my many kind friends , both In
Ireland and in America , I may gather new
strength , the better tu continue my share of
lie fight for achieving the social and political
cdemptlon of our fatherland. "
Then followed a momentary silence , which
was more eloquent in Ita elTects than the
ihoprs , embraces and handshaking which
'ollowed.

Vienna Entirely Absorbed in Observ
ing Passion Week.
ICnpi/rfoM l > u James Cordon flenncit. !
VIKNNA , April 10lNework Huiald
! able Special to the UHK.J Politics and
ilcastiro have been much neglected here
luring 1'asslon week. The Viennese take
.heir religion as they take their music In
arnest and for the moment Katilhars sei'tns
o be forgotten. All the week the churches
ivero crowded. Thousands have thronged
ho cathedral of St. Stephen , the Church of
, ho Minorities , St. Peter's church , and the
other fashionable places of worship. The
grim gothlc Christs and virgins , wtilch adorn
he outer walls of the cathedral , were crowned
ivlth tawdry wreaths. Some had paper roses
hrust between their cold , stone lingers. In
side the cathedral there has been a constant
patter of feet and a hum ot prayerful voices.
To-morrow the \\olner kinder will make
amends for their piety in countless cafes and
beer halls. On Maunday Thursday , agree
able to ancient custom and } remembrance
of tlio last .supper , the emperor went throug
ho form of washing the feet ot
.welvo deserving old men In one of the hall
of the imperial palace. Tlio ages of the vet
erans on this occasion aggregated 1074 years ,
Four were none enarlans. The old men
clothed In the traditional costume and bare
footed , were seated on a line of benches.
The emperor passed before them , escorted
by a suit of his household dignitaries , and
poured a little water from a silver pitcher on
each outstretched foot. He dried it afterward
with a towel. Every veteran was then pre
sented with a small bag of money and some
food. Usually the empress completes the cer
emony by washing the feet of the twelve de
serving aged women , but this year the func
tion tud to be omitted , as her majesty Is away
on one of her eccentric pleasure trips. Th
old ladles got their bounties all the same and
were perhaps spared some twinges oithoihcu- ;
niatlsm.
ANTI-RUSSIAN MANIFESTATIONS.
The opening of a new link of the strategl
railway system of Austria-Poland has been
made a pretext for a small autl-Itussian man-
fostatlon by several leading Austrian papers
One or two pointedly hint that the new lin
Is not only available for defensive purposes
but may also be useful offensively , shoul
circumstances ever compel the dual mon
archy to Invade Russia. As matters grad
ually quiet down in liulgarla , complications
thicken In Vienna. In the political elides
of Vienna It Is taken for granted that the
next great news will como from Herat. If
war In Bulgaria is avoided fnw politicians
doubt there will bo war In Afghanistan.
FATK OK JKW I'linsncOTOUS.
Tno miserable end of Dr. Margensteln , the
so-called Talmud Hussar , who thing himself
into the canal the other day , has removed
one of the most active agents ot the antl-
sometlc movements , which made new baitIng -
Ing Pastor Stoecker so unonvlably notorious.
Itellglous persecution docs not seem to profit
the persecutor much more hi German-speak-
in' : countries tlmn In France. The chief
leaders of the French antl-monahtlc crusade
are dead , disgraced or exiled. Of the German
heroes who had hoped to annihilate Judlaism
in Europe , Stoockcr is discredited , Dr. Bre-
nian and Dr. Totklnson have been sent to
jail , and Dr. Margousteln has committed sui
cide.
TIIH LATEST THEATRICAL FARCE.
The latest theatrical novelty In Vienna Is a
screaming farce , in four nets , by Karl Laufs ,
entitled "Ein Teller Elnfall , " which had
made a decided hit at the Carl theater. The
plot , as the title suggests , Is of tlio maddest
and merriest description. It hinges on the
misdeeds of a hard-up medical student , who ,
being temporarily entrusted with the charges
of his uncle's apartment , hits upon the In
genious Idea of lettln ; It out In beds to
lodgers. 1'ho complications which result before -
fore tlio play Is wound up by pater families ,
with a jealous wife and a hankering alter a
pretty woman , might almost have been writ
ten expressly for Lewis. The untimely 10-
turn of the uncle Is extremely amusing , but
would take too lone In telling. The farce is
like Augustln Daly's ,
A DIIEADFUL TRAGEDY.
Ihe little Hungarian town of Funfklrschen
has just been the scene of a dreadful tragedy.
A married woman named Katherlno Kowach
and her lover , an employe of the ministry ot
linanco , were found dead In their bedroom
the other morning. On inquiry It was ascer
tained that the unhappy Katherlne , driven to
distraction by the discovery that her para
mour had grown tired of her and was medi
tating leaving her , had enticed him to her
lodgings and shot him dead In bed while he
slept. She had the presence of mind after
the murder to lay lib body out , then she lay
down on the sofa , loaded the pistol and shot
herself.
BUSINESS DEPRESSION.
Vienna Is very empty at present. Business
seems stagnant. As a shopman recently re
marked to me , "there Is very Httlo money
flying about here. " Gold Is scarce and silver
is scarce. Even paper Is a rarity.

LONDON , April It [ New York Herald
Cable Soeclal to the BEE. | One of the
great books of the day Is the autobiography
of Count Von Beust , edited by Baron Henry
DeWorms , who Is a member of parliament
aud a member of the Salisbury ministry ,
which was published yesterday. The boo ) :
may be said to set forth the late count as an
Austrian. Grcvlllo wrote an Introduction
of 10J pages , which Is perhaps the most In
teresting part of the two bulky volumes.
It IB published by the Remingtons.
DeWorms , who was the most
Intimate friend of the great
statesman , is an eminent author and pub
lisher. Tlio book Is made further Interesting
by the fact that It contains a letter of as recent -
cent a date as March It from John Jay , cor
recting a most egregious mlsstatcmont about
Count Von Beust , made by James G. lilalne
In his book "Twenty Years of Congress , "

ing tolui unfair reference to the count's di
plomatic position. In referring DeWorms to
Blalne's book Jay somewhat qul/.ilcally tolls
him that "it Is a volume you will doubtless

Scolding President Cleveland.

LONDON , April 10. [ Now York Herald
Cable Special to the BIE. : ! The Ob
server was scolding President Cleveland
to-day In the following manner : "The Can
adian fisheries dllliciilty still continues un
settled and President Cleveland , doubtless
with half an eye to the fall elections , has
published an exceedingly high and mighty
declaration on the subject as to the necessity
of vindicating the honor , dlu-nlty and Integ
rity ot the nation. Thn question Is a some
what tangled one , although the legal right of
the Canadians however antiquated or ob
noxious It may be , Is attested by Urn un
willingness of the American government to
reter the matter to arbitration. Neither na
tion could be so deficient In good sense as to
put itself in the wrong by refusing sucli an
invitation. "
THE WEEK l\ WALL STREET.
Important Movements on the Stock
Exchange Higher Price * .
NEW YOIIK , April 10. [ Special Telnjram
; o the BEE.J- Taken altogether the week on
ho stock exchange may bo set down as ono
f the most impoitant for a lon-c time. The
nil movement made further progress and
ho highest figures of the year were recorded
n many Instances , dealings at the time hav-
ng been on a largo scale and attended with
nuch excitement. The specialties continued
: o lead in the rise and this class of stocks
scored an improvement raniIng ! up to 10
joints , with a number of shares heretofore
dormant quite prominent In transactions.
The feature of tlio week was the free par-
iclpatlon in the activity and the improve
ment of a number of dividend payers and
other usually active stocks , speculation in
which had previously hung flro to a greater
r less extent while specialties were moving
ip. Of these the anthracite roads were con
plcuous , rlsine anywhere from 2JJ to4J
points. Tlio leaders on the bull side took
iidvautazo of the buoyancy to loallzo with
ho idea of bringing about a substan
lal reaction , and their example
was followed by traders. But It was subse
quently discovered that the market had
broadened more rapidly than they had caten
ated upon and absorbed their stocks without
running all much , whereupon they started
n to buy back the shares they had parted
with , which operation , In connection with
iberal purchases by commission houses
whenever the market weakened , resulted In
quick rallies. There were some favorable
factors at woik , such as largo gains in rail
way traffic , the advantage of tolls on coal ,
the establishment of closer relations among
thn Pennsylvania , the Heading and the Jer
sey Central companies , liberal burin * by
London , further progress In some of tlio re
organized schemes , ami reports fiom Wash
ington that Secretary Fairchlld intended to
buy a largo amount of 4 and 4U per cunts
when all of the 3 per cents shall have been
retired. But , above all , was the decision ot
the Inter-state commerce commissioners tem
porarily suspending , on the application
of the Southern Jiailroad and Steamship
association , the "long and short haul" clause.
So sudden and liberal an interpietatlon of
tlio act in laver of the common carrying traiio
took tlio street by surprise and led operatois
to believe that the same liberty might be ex
tended to roads in other sections of thn coun
try which claim the siiuo grouuds for relief ,
The business in ralhoad bonds was on ,1
larger scale than for some time past and the
rcxlval of activity brought with It n inucl :
stronger market. The rise In stocks affectei'
their Kindred bonds , and In addition tlio lat
ter were influenced by favorable tralllc re-
tin us and lupnrts in regard to the new tralllc
agreement. The Atlantic & Pacific Incomes
wjro especially active , the enormous gain in
the earnings of the company for the lirsf
quarter of the current year stimulating pur
chases , in which Boston bouses wcio quite
conspicuous. The bonds weie heavily traded
in and rose over a points. Some of the
other issues advanced even still more , Sheu-
andoah Valley general selling up 0 , St.
Joseph & Grand Island Incomes 5 , New Vorl
city and Northern firsts 4 } , Jersey Cen
tral debentures 4 , and Green Bay In
comes 3f points. Brokers who do
an investment business report Incicas-
Ing orders for railway mortgages
from their client ? , who always pay in full tor
their purchases and take the bonds from tlio
street. This absorption Is steadily decreas
ing the supply or regular intoiest-paylng
issues , a number of which are positively
scarce. The feature of the week in foreign
exchanges was a widening In the ( inferences
between lone and short storing , the. former
advancing whilu the latter remained sta
tionary and was financially weak. Money
in tills market was accessible to brokers dur
ing the L'reat'ir part of the week at the legal
rate , and some times below it , although on
sevet.il occasions call loans advanced tem
porarily to 7 and b per cent , anil just previous
to Good Fiiday holiday there was n
little Hurry in which rates ran up as high as
15 per cent for a moment or two. The cur
rency sent to the middle nnd eastern states
to assist in tlio April settlements is slowly
returning , but at the west exchange Is still
against this center. The oxtromu hidi rates
made tor money were artificial , bning gen
erally the result of minlpulatlon for specula
tive purposes.

An Offensive I'nrtlsan.
W.VSIIINCITON , April 10. [ Special Tele
gram to thu Bin : , ] Francis A. HotTman , ap-
piaiscr of customs at Chicago , is likely to bo
called to account for an exhibition of ex
treme offensive partisanship. It scorns that
lloirnun took quite a prominent part In the
rcceut local election at Chicago , picsldtng
ml making speeches at meetings of the
oclallsts. Tlio attention of the president
as been directed to Hollman's conduct by
ic newspapers , but no action will be tatr > n
y thu authorities here until the matter has
jeen presented In ofllclal form. If thu Civil
'CivlcoKefonii ' league of Chicago , or any
ther responsible parties cognizant of the al-
escd ofTenso of Hoffman , will prefer the
ecessary charges they will Oa referred by
iic president to the nttornny general , as was
one in tlio case of United States Attorneys
tone of Pennsylvania and Bjnton of Mis-
ourl , and the result will doubtless be the re-
noval of HolTmau. Senator Vest Is ono of
ios < : who don't believe that there will bo a
lalled session of the Fiftieth congress. It
fould be better , Mr. Vest thinks , to purchase
per cent bonds at market rates In case the
tirplus should become distressingly large
Iter the 3 per cents arc redeemed than to
all an extra session. An extra session
vould not insure a reduction of taxation.
\s matters now stand In congress , " said
Ur. Vest , "Mr. Kamlull and the democrats
> utlng with him can unite- with the republi
cans and prevent anything reforming the
ariir from being taken up. It may bo that
1010 amicable relations will exist between
Mr. lUndall and tiio next chairman of the
vays and moans committee of tlio house than
hose between Mr. Kandall and Colonel
lorrison , and that some compromise may bo
fleeted between the opposing forces. But
Ills Is hardly to bo expected. In my opinion
ur lirst duty as democrats Is to settle this
lOinestlc trouble , and tbo only way to do It is
o enforce the will of the majority , If the re-
uit takes from us one-fourth of the paity as
t is now constituted. "
1HSTIHPT IlUjn LAWS.
It was announced early in the week that
he authorities of the Dl.stiict had determined
o enforce ihe old blue line laws which aio
.till . on the statute books nnd that not only
ialoons , but business houses of all dcscrip-
Jens would be closed up by thn police to-day.
The saloons were closed up tight and only
' .he most favored friends ot hotel proprietors
ivere able to obtain anything ot an Intoxicat-
ng nature , and even these found the way to
he bottle so tortuous that they did not cave
o make the attempt very often. The law
ivhlch iixes a penalty for keeping open anv
) lace ot business other thanan , apothecary's
> r an undertaker's shop was not enforced.
The commissioners announced last night
tnat ono moro week'of . grace would bo
allowed , out that on next Sunday the police
will be Instructed to .arrest all who .leave
.heir store door open. , .The subject of the
blue laws and their propsed enforcement
forms the subject of the leading editorials In
all the Sunday papers to-day. The Capital
advocates their enforcement to the fullest
extent , oven to the suppression of the prlnt-
ug and sale of the Sunday newspapers. On
.his editorial there has been a great deal of
llscussion , and it is likely that the outcome
ivlll bo an attempt to compel the authorities
.o insist on compliance with the strict letter
of the odious law. There Is talk to-night of
a combination of cigar dealers and other
business men interested in Sunday trade to
compel the commlssioneis by mandamus to
enforce the law even to thostoppaiieot hank ,
stioet car , telephone , telegraph and railway
service. It is said that If thu authorities per
sist In tlio enforcement of any part of the
, iw they will be compelled to enforce It all.
1'AfIFK1 KAILIiOAD INVKSTIOATOltS.
The president's selection of a commission
to investigate tlm accounts of the Pacific
lallroads is not regarded as at all unfriendly
: o tlio loads themselves. Every candidate
for an appointment on thu commission
xiinwn to be inimical to the corporations was
jiado to take a back seat. There was Gov
ernor Abbott , of Now Jersey , who was
warmly pressed by Senator Mcl'herson and
was actually once on the slate , was set aside.
'Jarl Sehur/ , put forward as a most perslst-
Jiit investigator by the Wall street bears ,
.ailed of recognition at the hands of the
president. Henley , of California , author of
thu law piovldlng for the commission ,
was urged upon Cleveland , by
Spilnger , of Illinois , Senator .Mcl'herson , of
New Jersev , and the Wall street men , but
he , too , was allowed to drop out and General
Bragg , of Wisconsin , who would have been
like a wasp to the railroads , stinging them
richt and left , fared no hotter. Governor
Paullson , one of tlio appointees , Is a well
meaning but harmless man , who , during his
term as chlet executive of the state of Penn
sylvania , never once had any controversy
with the railroad. Anderson , another of the
commissioners , is a county democracy man
put forward by Dorshoimer , editor of the
New York Star , who was at one time promi
nent as a railroad attorney. Littler , It
is true , was recommended by Senator
Cullom , but while Cullom Is the
author of the inter-state commerce law , or at
least tlio essential features of It providing for
a commission , hu Is regarded as opposed to
the railroad companies. Littler Is a brother-
in-law of Governor Oglesby , a resident of
Springfield , the Illinois capital , where ho has
been what might bo termed n door of smair
work a sort of ironeral utility man in a po
litical sense. Not ono of the three commis
sioners know anything about practical rail
road business. All are classed rather as
small fry politicians.

states for -suppression of pleuro-pneu-
monla should be as nearly uniform as possi
ble , and as this proposed bill has been passed
by the legislature of the state of Virginia
exactly as submitted to you , and its
provisions are similar to the law of
Michigan of June 10,1875 , It might receive
the tavorablo attention of your legislature.
You are no doubt aware that contagious
pleuro-pneumonla is now prevalent in cer
tain sections of the state ot New York , moro
particularly In the cities of New York and
Brooklyn and on LonfC Island , and that ad
joining states have quarantined against cattle
tlo from New York state. Thlsdepartment Is
desirous ot stamplugout thodUeasa promptly
and If this bill , or a similar one , were passed
by the legislature of New York state It would
greatly aid us In accomplishing this purpose ,
and would probably prove the most efficient
form of legislation. Very respectfully ,
NORMAN J. COI.MAX ,
Commissioner of Acricnlturo.
Letters of like purport , varied only accordIng -
Ing to the circumstances In the several states ,

Ti'li'unun to the Bii.J : : The democMtsof

protesting against having the democratic

and , second , to-day by 11 letter from Senator
Maxey to ex-Lieutenant Governor Glbbson
the same subject. Gibbs reqvested Maxey to
come out against the prohibition amendment ,
classing It as sumptuary legislation , etc. In
reply Senator Maxoy states at some lencth
that ho does not regard it as such , and con
tinues : "As the people of Texas have law
ful power In tlio mode and manner pre
scribed by the constitution to adopt or reenact

JelTersonian democrat , to abide by what Mr.
Jefferson laid down as a cardinal principle
of democracy , to-wlt : absolute acquiescence
In the decisions of the majority , the vital
principle of republics , from which there
Is no appeal but to force , which Is tlio
vital principle and Immediate parent
ot despotism. " Mr , Maxey says : "Tlio
democratic party should not stiller Itself to
bo dragged Into this controversy. The onlv
real question Involved in the proposed
amendments is : Is Its adoption expedient'.1
The democratic party , as such , has nothing
and ought to have nothing to do witli the
question. As clti/.eus , lot every man exer
cise his best judgment and vote according.
I propose to exercise my right as a clt)7en ) ,

Interest ot good morals , peace and prosper
ity , resolve thn doubt In laver ot that side
which seeks the greatest good to the greatest
number and vote tor the amendment. "
Senator Coke and Representative Mills
are the only Texas statesmen of national
repute who have taken sides In the present
issue. Botli are anti-prohibitionists and both
carry many votes wltli them. Senator Maxey
and Senator-elect Reagan are popular all
over the state , and old politicians claim they
will carry thousands of votes for prohibi

A Witness In the Kawson Divorce
CaHo ConfesscH I'erjury.
CHICAGO , April 10. [ Special Telegram to
the Bir. : . | Interest has been revived in the
recently closed sensational suit of Mrs. M.
L. liawson for separate maintenance against
her husband , Stephen W. liawson , n promi
nent bank president of this city. John B.
Payne , who has been acting as counsel for
Mrs. Itawson , claims to have unearthed evi
dence which is startling If true. In Septem
ber last Mrs. Kawson began suit against her
husband for soparaco maintenance , alleging
desertion. Mr. Itawson filed a cross bill for
an absolute divorce , alleging adultery on the
part of his wife , and to prove his allegations
produced 'depositions of two witnesses ,
named Troy Brown and Edward Levy.
Brown testified to being a porter on a sleepIng -
Ing car on the Alton road , and that May 14 ,
1880. he saw Mrs. Itawson In the company of
a man who was not her husband , and lur-
ther testified that she did not occupy her own
berth in the sleeping car. Levy , who
was a waiter In the dining car ,
corroborated the testimony of Brown.
It is now stated by Mr. Payne that Brown
appeared before him yesterday to make a vol
untary confession In iclatlnn to the case. Mr.
Payne said : "Brown made a written con
fession to mo , which is now In my posses
sion. He swears that the deposition ho made
was false , and that he was Instructed in the
matter by a detective who workcit on the
case in the employ of tlio husband. Ho
swears that this detective came to him and
requested him to make his deposition as ho
should dictate. Levy was taken into thu com
bination , and tlio detective , teaching them In
falsehood , descilbud accurately the man
whom they were to swear they had heon with
Mrs. Rawson. Ho fuither swears that money
lias been paid to him since that time , and
also to his wife by different persons. "
Mr. Payne proposes to make a thorough In
estimation and promises to make public
_ ; omo sensational developments. Ho is al
ready preparing to institute actions against
thu witnesses for perjury.
Bins. POTTEU'S POSITION.
Hci'Illusbiind's Family Pleased at Her
Failure.
NEW iortK , April 10. | Special Tele
gram to the BEK. | The indications amount
to convincing proof that Mrs. James Brown
Potter Is estranged from her husband's fam
ily and that her failure as an actress In Lon
don Is rather pleaslnz than otherwise to them
Their silence Is perfect , but they will not
deny that such Is the case. Her husband
went to London just before her debut to dls-
suado her from the adventure , and especially
to protest against her making use of tbo
Prince of Wales' favor. There has atnotlm
been the slightest disposition among her so
clal acquaintances hero to construe th
prince's patronage unpleasantly , but it was
thought that with tlio general public the ef
fect might not bo so kindly. Mr.
Potter put up at another London
hotel trout that In which his wife
was staying , an d his seveial visits to her
weie quite formal. Ho departed before her
debut and was on the ocean at the time of
that event. Friends sav that nls mission
was a failure and that Mis. Potter , contident
of professional success , would not listen to
his advice. She had already declined similar
counsel from her uncle-in-law , Bishop Pot
ter , in whoso company she had gone to Paris
and In whom the family influence was con
centrated for use upon her. She was bound
to bo an actress. Their hope now Is that her
failure will cure her and gossip Is busyness-
Ing at tlio extent of the difference be
tween her and Mr. Potter , who declines
positively to make any explanation.

CIIICAOO , April 10. A setback was given
to day to the frlonds of August Spies , who
have been endeavoring to enlist the moral
support of the Turners here for him and his
condemned comrades , but the anarchist's
sympathizers retuso to acknowledge them
selves defeated and declare that thay will
carry their efforts before the- highest author
ity In the order and make the issue a na
tional one among the Turners. Splc.s was a
Tuincr , and a prominent ono , bofora his In-
caicerntlon. A friend of Spies , Chairman
John Gloy , and members of the Turners' ex
ecutive board of this district , issued n circu
lar to all subordinate Turner societies In this
vicinity requesting ttiem to notify the board
whether they favored the adoption of a reso
lution declaring tlio verdict against the an
archists unjust and asking lor a new trial.
The result was n storm of protests against
the action of the board. Glov then Issued a
letter advocating support lor Sple.s , and
this was followed by nngry de
mands for his resignation and
those of his fellow members
of the board. To day a district convention
of the Turners was held for thn purpose of
deciding on the- question of Impeaching and
deposing thu district executive board , and
especially John Gloy , the chairman , for over-
stepplnc authority and dlsira < 'lni : the office.
Eveiy Tinner society within fifty miles of
Chicago was repiesented. Max Hern made
a long , earnest addiess denouncing the ex
ecutive board and tlio anarchists generally ,
which was answered by Gioy at length. At
last a motion to depose the executive board
was carried 1" to 85 and the chairman im
mediately declared the board deposed. Gloy
announced that lie would appeal the case to
the national board. In the conference fol
lowing this declaration a largo number of
societies withdrew from the hall headed by
Gloy. The upro.ir grew louder and the chair
man threatened to have the- hall cleared by
the police. Gloy reappeared at this juncture
and qiilc'cd tlio audience , sayingan outbreak
should bo avoided. A now district board was
provided for by the remaining delegates and
the convention quickly adjourned.
JOHN T. 11AYMOND DEAD.
The Only Colonel Sellers Suddenly
Stricken Down.
KVANSYILLI : , Ind. , April 10. John T.
Raymond , the actor , died hero tills morning
at-o'clock , the result of a complication of
diseases. Mr. Raymond came to Kvansvlllc
last Fiiday to fill an cniagemcnt , but wns
unable to dose on account of illness. The best
medical aid was called In to attend him , and
ho seemed to Improve until 0 o'clock last
night , when ho suddenly grew worse. The
company started this evening with the re
mains for New York , whnie Mr. Itaymond's
"uinily icsidcs.
[ John T. Raymond was a man of about
Hty years of nge. For the greater partof his
ife lie was a stock actor , playing only sec-
ondaiy parts. For the past few years , how
ever , ho has been ono ot the best known men
on the stage. When Mark Twain and Charles
Dudley Warner's book "Tho Gilded Age , " ,
, vas dramatized , John T. Raymond was cast
n the part of Colonel Sellers. In this role ho
jiiadu an Instantaneous hit and tumped at
once to the position of a star. With peculiar
"oico ho portrayed the characteristics of
he visionary colonel the American Mleaw-
ber and through this ci cation secured both
Tame and fortune. Colonel Sellers at once
.nijame a national character , and the names
if Raymond and Sellers were Inseparable.
In no other lolo did the * actor appear In his
full strength. Although his repertoire In
cluded several ' 'taking" parts , it was only as
Sellers that the public received him with
open arms as one of the greatest ccmedlans
in the country. In his other plays he will
not bo sorely ] missed , but with his death
comes that of the character which he has
created ana which the amusement loving
public will part with In sorrow. ]
