THE OMAHA DAILY Kjffi ; THURSDAY. MAY 0 1889 RYRLE BELLEW DON'T ' KNOW , Some Sensational Testimony In the Carter Dlvorco Oaso. EVEN THE BUZZARDS WEARY. W Ilio Kvlilcnco Hardly Up to Their Vicious Craving -Tlia Actor la Doubt About Some 1m * portant Matters. Mrs. Carter cen Fltililnc ? CHICAGO , May 8. [ Special Telegram to THE BEE. ] Lawyer Mills road Kyrlo Uol- lew's cross-examination , thH morning , In an Intensely dramatic stylo. It was sparring for points between him nnd his cross-oxnminor. The Kngll h actor denied having breakfasted with Mrs. Carter. The ques tions brought It out that Mrs. Carter had told a flb. She had said In her direct testi mony that she had not sent. note to Kyrlo Hollow , from the steamer on which she re turned from Kuropo. 'Who brought you the note ! Wasn't ' It the maid I" "I don't know. I don't ' notlco maids. " "Nor maidens' cither I" "Not moro than other men ; " nnd so on. Mr. Hollow says that nt ono of the Del- monlco dinner parties , ono of the Ulnlno boys , ho couldn't remember whether it was Walker or Kinmons , wai present. The audience was bop-inning to got very tired when suddenly a point was reached where the questions nnd iiunwcrs wcro once moro very Interesting. Bellow was asked If ho had glvon lessons to Maria Harris , of London ; ho said ho had ana that she was un actress. Then came the query : "Did you over give instructions to n Mrs. Woodgutol" Here the witness became angry. "That has nothing to do with the case , " said ho , hotly , " 1 decline to answer questions touch ing my relations with Mrs. Woodgato. " "Do you know UvaSothornl" . This seems to have mndo Mr. Bellow furious and ho de clined to answer. The objection made by Mrs. Carter's coun- eel to admitting this testimony as to the moral character of the most noted co-ro- npomlcnt of the case , summoned ns a witness for the orntrix , brought up quito n legal tilt. Judge Juiuieson thought the witness had not been suuicicntly instructed , and that ho need not answer those searching questions , unless ho wuntcu to , und ruled out all this interest ing reading ouco , but iinally it got in by some hocus pocus. Then the question was asked Mr. Bcllcwif ho ever hud any children. Ho said ho did not Know. Yesterday ho dcuicd having been a father. The next question was ; "Did you ever rcc- oguizo n child aa yours I1' This was fought over und Iinally ruled out. "Do you know Mrs. Van Voorhecs } " That pot Mr. Bellow angry , and ho thought It was a shame that all his acquaintances should be dragged into a divorce caso. After some further sparring , as to who else ho had In structed , Hollow said ho hud taught Mrs. James Brown Potter the partof "Cleopatra , " in a cottage in Hcnncquovillo , Franco , with the assistance of a Mrs , Dallas Glynu , of ngland , an expert in such matters. "Woro you married in 18SOI" "Yes. " 'Did your wife got a divorce ? " ' No , I divorced her ; that is as different as etrlking and being struck. " "Woro you over a co-respondent in a divorce - vorco easel" "Never in my life. " On the redirect nnd rocross-oxnmlnation , much alleged spicy testimony was ruled out by Judge Jamioson , to the disappointment of the expectant "buzzards , " us the uudleuco lias Iinally como to be called. It is said that in thu suppressed testimony Hcllnw admitted that ho had maintained intimate relations with Eva Sotliern , but did not know whether ho was the father of her child. He paid for its support , however. Ho denied il licit relations with Mrs. WooUgato , Mrs. Van Voorhees , or Mrs. Potter. The next deposition was that of E. G. Gil more , manager of Niblo's ' Garden , theater , and the Academy of Music , New York. Mrs. Carter hud asked him to manage her , as ho was at that time managing Mrs. Langtry. She told him that she was studying with Kyrlo Bellow , but Mr. Gilmore didn't want to take the risk of taking hold 01 a star un less ho was assured of success. John M. Otter , manager of the Colonnade hotel. Now York , made another deposition regarding the stay of Bellow and Mrs. Carter at his hotel , but thcro was nothing startllngly new in It , Late In the afternoon Mrs. Dudley , mother of the plalntitT , was recalled , and stated that at the Cooperstown hotel Mrs. Carter's room opened into hers , and that Mr. Pourco could Dot have stood at the door of the room and conversed without bning soou or hoard by the witness.

" CANADA READY FOR ANNEXATION HrnsttiH Wlnmn Says tlio Tics flint Ulml Her to EiiRlnml iiro But Sentimental and Will Not Hold. Dnmncd With Faint Praise. NEW YOUK , MayS. The scnnto corainlttco , \\liloh is investigating the workings of tlio Ititcr-stnto commerce. Inw , nml the matter of Cnnmllim roads doing business In and with this country , resumed Its labors this morn * in ? . The first witness willed was Charles Fran cis Adams , urcsidcut of thoUnion Pnelflo road. Adams thought the Intcf-stnto coin- morco law In many cases n cruel ono. Those who oboycd It lost by its oporatioiit nnd those who evaded It , profited. "I should like , however , to sco it universally oboycd and given n fair trial , " ho sniit , "and slnco Janu ary 1 , I really believe , the law has been bet tor obeyed than ever before. I know , for in stance , that largo shippers , who heretofore have practically dictated their terms , can dose so no longer. The Intcr-stato commerce com missioners , I think , are doing a good work , mid 1 utn glad to sec they proceed cautiously nnd deliberately. This investigation , too , is going ahoud as rapidly ns possible. Pub licity is n good remedy for many of the evils which wo are seeking to mitigate , and the greatest service the intor-stato commission ers could do tlio railroads" in general , would bo to prosecute some of the offenders. Noth ing would Imvo n better affect on the situa tion , Slnco the flrst of the year , however , rates have boon very well maintained. " Mr. Adams thought a common railroad law between Canada nnd the United States , and a legalized pool would bo a good thing and would tend to bring about a solution of the present troubles In reference to the Cann- dluu roads. "If you think the Inter-state law la a good thing then where does nil the opposition cotno from ? " asked Senator Ulair. "You must remember the country has been built on a system of distribution , which the intor-stnto law shakes to its foundations , rftid the long and short haul clauses give In effect to the smaller rites many of the advan tages heretofore exclusively onjoyoa by the larger cities , and the consequence is In n city liku San Francisco , thu opposition Is very strong. " "Then it is a question of whether the smaller towns shall bo enslaved by the larger ones , or tho'lareor ones give up some of their prestige to thorn } " asked Senator Blair. "Enslave is a strong word , " said Adams , "but without n question what is taken from ono goes to the other. " In conclusion the witness said that while nominally president of the Uuion Pacific railroad , ho really knew very llttlo of its practical workings and referred to members of the Union PacIDo executive staff ut Omaha. At 11:30 : the stand was taken by Thomas Lytnan Green , a transportation expert of this city. Green had no objection to n. legal pool , but wanted the merchants to have some voice in Hxing the rates. At 1 o'clock the committee took a recess until 2. President Hill.of the St. Paul , Minne apolis & Manitoba railroad , was the first witness called after recess. Ho gave an account of the probable route of the future between Asia and Kuropo. The Canadian Pacific road , ho said , had a fast line of Btenmcrs running from its western terminus to Asia , and from its eastern terminus to Liverpool. "Is there much foreign trade , Asiatic trade , coming over the -Canadian Pacific roadl" asked Chairman Cullom. "Considerable. Some comes over our road , destined for Omaha. " "Why does it take such a roundabout couisol" "Probably because 5 or C cents a hundred Bounds is an inducement. Wohavo a differ ential rate , and time is no object. It pays to take advantage of the lower rate. " Erastus Wiman spolto strongly in favor of commercial reciprocity. Any attempt to shut out Canadian HUGH from operating in this country would bo a serious blow to western American farmers , and" would bo badly received by the Canadian people. "Is It trolley for the American people , " asked Senator Blair , "to help , with their re sources , to build up a great nation with n Hostile , or at least an alien connection , on the north of us. " "Tne tie that binds Canana to England Is but a sentiment. Tlio state of Now Yoik , to day , in a certain sense , is fur more important than all of Canada. Canada cannot stay us she is. She must cither become an independent republic or join with the United States. Thoronro many forces at work in Canada. The hopes of a grcut party then rest entirely upon ono old man. After the death of Sir John Mao- donald will como the deluge. " Wiuian spolco at considerable lencth on various Jesuit , Catholic and Orautro" move ments in Canada , but said farmers , tisber- ineii and minors all favored commercial union , which , of Itself , was u step toward a nnexatlon.

[ Special Telo grain to TUB UEE.J The Elgin , Iowa , Canning company complained to the railroad commissioners that , their rates are not satisfactory , their charge to DOB Moines over the Burlington , Cedar Ilapids & Northern being about 21 cents , while the rates on canned goods from Elgin to Chicago , St. Louis aud St. Paul are 20 cents per hundred pounds , witli a JiO cent rate to Omaha soon to go into effect.

If the boys can take four out of the BIX on the present trip , they will moro than moot expectations , and if they but break oven they will have done well enough. Poor old Milwaukee , with all her star plnyersv Is having a tough time of It. Up to data sbo has but tlirco victories to her credit. Young Willis has boon hit pretty hard durlug the past ten days , and , In addition to this , has been horribly wild. Ho pleads , however , that ho has boon out of form for two weeks past , but that ho Is coming around all right , and will retrieve hlmsolf henceforward. Jni-k Crooks has been regularly appointed captain , nnd Is filling the position very ac ceptably. Wally Andrews has not , as yet , got his "eyo on the ball. " nud his ankle Is yotu sore handicap while on the lines. His first base play , however , is all that could bo desired. Cleveland is oven moro popular ns n third baseman than ho was ai president of the United States. Ho is batting most effec tively , nnd puts up a very .lorry Denny game on thu baso. Ho is a big favorite. Jack Naglo Is wanted by several National league nnd American association clubs. It would be suicidal , however , for Omaha to part \vith him. Cunuvun is ono of the cleverest Holders In the business. His daring runs on long hit balla , and the neat way ho gathers them in , has captured the crowd. An Ainntour Loacuc. NORFOLK , Neb. , May 8.
