Sioux CITT , In. , Scj > t. IS. ( .Special Tolo-
cram to Tim HEI ? . ] The muln session of the
democratic state convention was In session
this afternoon only from 2 to 5 o'clock.
When ex-Senator Whiting , of Monotm
county , who was the do footed democratic
candidate for governor four years r.go , was
put In nomination for lieutenant govcrnorho
quickly announced that ho would not under
any circumstances accept the honor. When ,
later , ho was proposed for railroad commis
sioner , ho declined , saying , privately , that
the democratic candldato would bo defeated
by from 15,000 to 25,000 majority. All the
old loaders of the parly coincided with
Judge Whiting's forecast , for us ono after
another of them vv6ro nominated for llcutcn-
ant governor , judge of the supreme court
and railroad commissioner , they rose por-
Bonally on the lloor of the convention to pro
test against the nomination.
Three of the candidates nominated nro re
publicans of recent record. Horace Boles ,
of Waterloo , the candidate for ( jovurnor.was
a republican up lo 18S3 , when ho toolt oxeop-
tion to the position ot the party on prohlbl-
tion , but only nt an tnaoi.cndo.it republican
for several years later. Up to n very recent
ponod ho has been known as a radical prohl-
bltlonist.
S. L , Bestow , of Chariton , the candldato
for lieutenant governor , was also a repub
lican till a few yearn ago , as was also David
Morgan , of Powoshlck county , the candidate
for railroad commissioner. The liquor plank of
the platform gives Intense dissatisfaction to
the representative ! ) of the larger cities on the
ground that It Is nothing more nor less than
local option. Tnoy demanded a declaration
for n maximum license of (500 , but the pint-
form declares for u minimum license of $ . " > 00 ,
with power In ouch locality to increase the
license ' ludellnitoly. The protesting dnmo-
cruts say that this amounts to prohibition ,
whereas there is a prohibition majority.

Tlio Cornenu Illto Cnsc.
Cr.iuii lUrins , In , , Sept , IS. [ Special
to Tun BEE. ] Judge Preston to-day ren
dered bis decision In the much talked of
Ccrnenu Rite-Iowa Grand Ledge caso. Ho
granted the petition of the grand ledge dis
solving the temporary Injunction granted by
him n few weeks ago restraining the grand
ledge from enforcing curtain resolutions
which that body adopted at its last annual
session against the members of thoCctucau
Rite. Ho gives no lengthy opinion , except
that he says the decision Is based upon the
allegations of the counsel of the grand lodge
that there was nothing for which , in fact , to
enjoin them. The grand lodge assorted that
them was no resolution to expel , but simply
to discipline the members of the Iowa con
sistory if they did not recant their Ccrncau-
ism , The discipline , however , does not
mean expulsion , and the Hon. George W.
Ball , ono of the attorneys for the grand
lodge , said In his pleading that If the grand
lodge should vote upon expulsion of mem
bers for belonging to Ccrneau bodies it
could not bo carried , und ho would vole
nga'.nst such action. If there had been any
expulsion , or if thu grand lodge could expel
u member for such an offense , there might
have been n different decision on the ques
tion. The judge also sitid that the civil
courts could Interfere in such a case under
three conditions : First , when a member
had been expelled without having been given
notice of sucb action by which to defend
himself ; second , when a member has been
expelled contrary to the rules of n body like
that of the Masonlo bodies ; third , when a
member has been oxuellcd for disobeying
the la s of that body Which contravene
such laws. As thoro" Imd been no expulsion
ho rules that the petition asking for n per
manent injunction is premature. The case
will probably bo appealed to the supreme
court.
Sensational Evidence.
WA.TBHLOO , Iu. , Sept. 18. | Special Tele-
grain to Tins Bun.J The evidence to-day in
the Billings case has been the most sensa
tional of any yotoffered. It consisted of the
paper found on Billings' person tjio night of
the tragedy , and was so salacious that all the
ladies in attendance withdrew from the
room except Mrs. Billings , who remained by
husband's side. She , however , gave way to
frequent outbursts of tears and kept her
face concealed in bur handkerchief much of
the time. The exhibits comprised the notes
and mortgages which Hillings had prepared
for Kingsley to sign , together with an order
for his salary as county attorney until tlio
year 1003. There were nlso ft number of
letters purporting to bo from Mrs Hillings
to Kingsley , inviting him to call on her dur
ing Billings' absence , and reproaching him
because ho would not accept the invitation.
In ono letter , which was dated tto day of the
tragedy , ho was asked to send her some
money and promise to pay a stipulated
sum a month. The letter contained
threats ncalnst him. The nllhlavit
of Einmn Shane and nn unsigned nllldavit
purporting to bo from a person who had seen
ICingsloy and Mrs. Billings together were
nlso offered , together with the aliened "con
fession" of Mrs. Billings. The latter docu
ment was so obscene that when it was
printed in full in ft Waverly paper the pub
lisher was compelled to cut it out of his
papers before the edition would bo received
ut the postolllco. All theao documents , pur
porting to bo from Mrs. Billings , are now ad
mitted to have been forged by Billings.
After the readme of the exhibits the testi
mony was supplied from the notes of the re
porter who took the testimony at the lu-
qucst ,
.The defense put on the stand J. W. San-
born , of Gary , Dak. , out of tno regular or
dor. Ills evidence was for the purpose ot
attempting to impeach the testimony of At
torney Monnghan , whq tontllljil for the
state. The father and sister of ICingsloy
tcstitlcd that they never know of his ownliiL'
u revolver.

Cable Special to TUB BKE. | C. P. HuntIngton -
Ington , the American railway umgnuto , re
turned to Paris to-day from a buslucss visit
to Germany. Ho seemed to be la the best
possible health nnd spirits when nllorald cor *
respondent called on him at the Hotel Bris
tol.
Referring to the rumors of his ndoptoi
daughter's engagement to Prince Hatzfoldt ,
ho said :
"Tho Now York nowsuapors are having
nn immense amount of trouble trying to settle , -
tlo whether my daughter is or is not en
gaged lo Prince Hatzfeldt. Ono might Im
agine that it was something unusual
for nn American girl to get
married. It is easy to sco that
the journalistic season is very dull. But of
all the absurd things I hava seen printed the
most ulsurd is the account of the manner in
which I tun supposed to have broken this
match. The story Is elaborated with detail
whlcn does great credit to the writer's imag
ination. Once for all I should Illto to state
that I have not broken off any match between
my daughter and Prlnco Hntzfcldt for the
good and sufllcicnt reason that no such
match existed. The youug gentleman hns
been lavish enough with his attentions , nor
is there very much reason to doubt the
character of his intentions , but it takes two
people to make a bargain sometimes throe
and neither my daughter nor myself have
made up our minds what to think of this
Teutonic nobleman.
"Of course , wo Americans are rather dis
posed to turnup our noses ut people who
travel about on the strength of unearned ti
tles. We like to know what a man has done
or what ho can do , not what his father , or
great grandfather did for him. My own
family aates right back to the Norman con
quest , but that never troubles me. If 1 can't
win glory for what I am my sol f , I will go
without glory.
"Now , I don't mean to find any fault with
Mr. Hatzfoldt for being a prlnco. I have
mot him and think him a very pleasant
young mun , as young men go. They tell
mo ho has been extravagant , lost
'
money on the turf , etc. , but
pretty much all young men do that
sort of thing nowadays. In my time it was
different. Wo believed in thoold-fushioncd ,
homely virtues , iu industry , economy. , nnd so
on , but according to tbo cede of to-day
Prioco Hatzfeldt is a man of honor and an
accomplished gentleman. I will oven admit
that my opinion of him is nt present vastly
better than was tbo case when 1 loft homo.
But none of this is any reason why ho should
necessarily become my son-in-law. That is a
question I have not yet considered seriously.
I shall get to it iu duo time , but I propose to
tone my time.
"My purpose In coming to Europe was quite
other than that of deciding whether my
daughter should become a princess. I have
enormous business interests on the continent
which for the present require my close un
divided attention.ou may therefore deny
absolutely nil silly stories. I have referred
to no match having bcon made aud consequently
quently none has been broken off. I huvo
not refused to pay the piinco's debts , because -
cause I know nothing about his , debts and
have no reason to do so. Whether there
may ono of these daya bo n
closer relationship between the prince and
my daughter and myself will depend on
various things. But for the present-neither
ho , nor she , nor I nor any ono else , except , of
course , the sensational 'scribblers of certain
Now York dallies , can say anything definite
on the subject. " *
Mr. Huutlngton went on to talk on various
other subjects. v
Ho contrasted American railways with
these of Europe , to the great disadvantage
of the latter. Ho has no doubt , that the
United States can got up an international
exhibition , either in 1S93 or any other time ,
which will discount anything the world
has ever seen. Ho is convinced
that American engineers can. if they want
to , build nn Eiffel tower a mile high which
will last n thousand years , this being a
simple matter of enlarging your baso. Ho
does not approve of gambling in any form ,
either at cards or on the stock exchange. Ho
made his money without that nnd is forced
to admit that the young men of the present
generation , princes included , are a sorry lot.

MATS IAXDINO , N. J. , Sept , 19. The court
room was crowded this morning with people
anxious to hoar the proceedings In the caio
of Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton , Indicted for
atrocious nssnult upon her child's nurse ,
Mary Donnelly. The Work of selecting a
jury was qulckl.v disposed of. Mrs. Hamil
ton frequently sobbed aloud during the se
lection of the jury , nnd gave every evidence
of hopeless despondency. Dr. Crosby , the
first witness , described the nature of the
wound , nnd addcd'tlmt Mrs. Donnelly was
now entirely out of danger. Nurse Don *
nelly then told the story of the stabbing , and
tlio court took u recess.
In the afternoon Nurse Donnelly said Mrs ,
Hamilton took out ot her trunk the knife
with which the cuttlnir wua done , Mrs.
Hamilton called her a vile name and she de
manded Its retraction , which was refused.
She then loft the housO and on her return
found that Hamilton's trousers had been cut
in the right knee and his coat split down the
back. The knife and garments were both
offered in evidci.ee.
Mr. Hamilton's testimony wont to show
particularly tl.nt the uurso was very abusive
toward Mrs. Hamilton. The rent in the
coat ho explained by the fact that
early in the day on which the stub
bing occurred they had a family quarrel.
The nurse was very aggressive. A parasol
was also broken by the defendant , She
wanted n greater sum of money than ho was
willing to allow her on separation. The do-
fcndnnt had shown him bruises and scratches
indicted by the nurse.---
Mrs. Hamilton testified that her husband
upheld the nurse , and that she was also
very abusive to hur. She throw her on a bed
and placed her knco on tlib-wltnoss' stomach
and then the knife , which was lying on the
bed ) was used by her in" Belf-dofonno. She
stated that she tint mot Hamilton for or live
years ago ut Mrs. Brown's , in New
York , being accompanied by n Miss
Uader. She afterwords mot Hamilton
on the street , nnd ho finally called
upon her. Neither of her parents were liv
ing and she had money left her by her
father. She said she was no relation to
Mrs. Swlnton , out met bar In a boarding
house at No. 10 East Twonth-olghth street ,
and she also mot Joshua Mann thoro. She
was married last January to Mr. Hamilton ,
but declined answering if she bad been mar
ried before or'was the mother of 13aby lio-
atrico
Mrs. Hamilton said she was afraid to call
her life her own during the time she had
Mrs. Donnelly ID her employ. The nurse
neglected the lady and drank a great deal.
Thu woman had made throats against
her Ufa prior to the encounter in
which the wltnoss stabbed her. lie-
fore the cucouuter , the nurse had
attempted to assault her With , u whisky bot-
tlo. Hamilton put t'no Woman out of the
room , but she soon riJtarmxl screaming ,
"Lot mo at her , " and n Qghttousucd.
The physician called to attend Nurse Don
nelly said she was under the inllueuco of
liqor when he camo.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hupp , 'thoi proprietress of
the Nell cottage , was present when Mrs.
Iinmllt attempted to assault the nurse
witti un infant's tmth tub. Mrs. Hamilton
made the remark in her presence , "Hay
Hamilton , you will have1 mo soul to the gallons
lens yet. "
Both sides then * rested and Judge
Heed stated that the arguments would bo
tuado and the case given.to the jury la the
morning.
SIMPtiY A QUESTION OF TIME.
All the Trunk. Ldncs Will Proratn
With th St.-PnuiiHo3d.
CHICAGO , Sent. 18. ffepecialTolograra to
TUB Unc.J Although .neither the trunk-
lines nor the CoatraliTraaiu association * Had
taken olllciu ! action this morning on prorat
ing -with the St. Paul lines on through busi
ness , the different roads received the as
surance of the Lehlgh Valley , Fltchburg
& Now York and Now England roads that
they would'join in issuing , joint tarilTs. As
the Erie , Chicago & Atlantic , Motion and
Cincinnati , Hamilton & Dayton had previ
ously agreed to prorate It is simply a qjus-
tion of time when all the trunk lines and
central trafllo roads will co-oporate. All the
St. Paul lines are to-day quoting the 3a > tf per
cent reduction in local rates , but the 75 per
cent i eduction in the proportion of the
through rate will only bo quot
ed by the Burlington & North
ern , St. Paul , Wisconsin Central , Chicago ,
St. Paul < Ss Kansas < ! ity und Iowa Central ,
permission having been given them to-day
by Chairman ITaithhorn 'to meet the rate
with only the legal delay m notifying the
inter-state commerce commission. 'Iho Hock
Island and Northwestern have decided not
to meet the 15 cent through rate , nnd will
consequently retire from1 the through busi
ness. The Hock Island has' poor connections
to St. Paul , its trains going in over the Al
bert Lea route , which consists of the Minne
apolis & St. Louis and Burlington , Cedar
Uupids & Northern roads. A division of the
15 cent rate between the three lines would
not furnish sand for the ouclnos. The
Northwestern refuses to make the rate because -
cause it is a non-paying one.
To Oppose Tltroutcli
CHICAGO , Sept. IS. It is learned that a
mooting of the trunk line association has
been called to consider the action of cortula
eastern lines m issuing tariffs in connection
with the Burlington & Northern , quoting
through rates on a basis of S3 cents from the
seaboard to St. Paul. Tlio purpose is to induce -
duce these lines to withdraw their tariff and
to bring all trunk lines nnd Central TraDIc as
sociation roads into an agreement to publish
no through rates to St. Paul and Minneapo
lis via Chicago. If this olun succeeds ttio
Burlington & Northern will huvo to adopt
some scheino for meeting the competition ot
tin ) Canadian and Laku Superior lines on
through trafllc to tbo northwest.
Union Pituillu Matter. " .
BOSTON , Sept. 18. inquiry at the Union
Pacific oillco develops tlie fact that tin pub
lished story of a tradlu agreement with the
Manitoba road In order to secure lower rates
has no basis hi fact. President Adams , while
in Chicago , aid have a conference

Considerable Interest Is foil hero over tno
report the senate committee on Canadian
annexation will make to congress this win
ter. Public opinion 1s cq Jolly divided ns to
whether annexation will bo recommended.
Some of the strongest men in both houses
are ardent advocates of Canadian annexa
tion , nnd therefore the subject can fight Its
wny through congress under ordinary
disadvantages. It can bo successful oven
though it is handicapped byjtho refusal of the
committee to recommend annexation , it too
strong grounds nro not urged against the
proposition ,
Se.muor Teller 1ms clurlnir the past sum
mer made n trip through Canada nnd talked
with some of the statesmen in the Dominion.
Ho said to your correspondent upon tils ra
turn to this country : *
"Nearly every man I found in Canada is In
favor of annexation. Tho'tradespooplo arc
especially anxious for it , aud bolinvo that
tno natural tendency of the Interests of the
two countries are together. They believe
that wo would receive quite us much banullt
ns themselves , and yet they are sufficiently
doltish to think that they would be
greatly benollued. I bollovo that if a vote
was taken in Canada it would give n good
round majority in favor of annexation , I
really think thcro is moro hesitation ou the
part of our peoule than the Canadians. Old
Mother England , of course , would obj ect ,
but if Canada would take a positive step in
our direction I think she would relinquish
her bold , and thcro would be no difllculty in
our coming together. "
Tlin TO11ACCO TAX LIKELY TO OO.
The southern congressmen in both parties
contlnuo to say , ns they drop lute Washing
ton fresh from tholr constituents , that nt
the approaching session of congress the in
ternal revcnuo'system , with the exception of
the tax on spirituous and malt liquors , muut
bo abolished if any legislation is enacted.
Mr. Catchjngs , of Mississippi , is onuof those
who tl.lnk that way. The southerners will
demand the repeal of the tobacco tax , and
as they Hold the balance of power in the
house they can force the majority to adopt
tncir wishes if they stand firm. It is not
likely at all that they will have trouble in
securing its abolishment.

The ICdnontinnnl Itppnrt.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 18. H. N. R. Dawson ,
commission of education , bus filed with the
secretary of the Interior his annual report
for the year ended June 80,16S9 , In the course
of which ho says that from an analysis of the
reports for 1870-77 to 18c(5 ( 87 , It appears the
growth of thu system , considering the whole
country , outstripped during that period the
growth of population 1,0 per cent. This gain
the commissioner says is duo entirely to the
progress ot public schools supported by pub
lie funds , which hoauys , uro becoming each
year moro universally prevalent. The pub
lic school system of the southern states are
undergoing an unprecedented development
under laws adapted to local circumstances ,
and uro now practically all established on u
permanent basis. The colored children are
apportioned unequal share of the school funds
except In the state of Delaware , and thcro
the schools uro kept open us long and
under us well paid teachers us thtmo ot the
white children. The funds for the support
of those schools are furnished mainly by the
white inhabitants.
Discussing the conditions affecting nubile
education , ho continues ; "The nccesiiity that
the southern states uro under of maintaining
two system should over bo borne In mind.
Statistics show that about 01 per cent of the
white pobulutlou of school ago In the south-
urn states is cnrollnd , while of the colored
population about 5U per cent are on the lists. "
Compulsory education , the commissioner
says , forms no feature of the southern school
system.
In the course of his remarks upon the pub
llo schools in 'ho principal cities , the com
missioner says : "In no department of the
city school work Is improvement moro mani
fest than in tlio primary schools , and this for
the reason perhaps that iu thorn thcro was
the greatest room for improvement. "
Tbo commissioner says thouirh thousands
of dollars huvo been invested in apparatus lo
bo used In tbo development of the mind , no
provisions worthy of serious consideration
hava yet been mudo for strengthening the
body upon whoso sound condition effective
mental effort greatly depends.

A Good Story to Itond.
CHICAGO , Sept , 18. A local paper thl
evening prints n sensational article rogard-
lug thu Crontn case.
It niys the lawyers for the dufonso claim
to bo In possession of evidence showing that \
thomurdorors ot Croulu were represonta- 3
lives of thu English government , -who had 1
been duped by Croulti , who was supposed by f-
the British nuthorlttoi to .bo ono ot tholr
American spies , ?
The form this ovldoncn has tnkon nnd in J
which it will bo presented on trial In behalf *
of tlio defense is u number of letters by Miss
Lccarron , daughter of the notorious witness
in the Parnull case , to her afllancud husband '
In Chicago. * '
These letters have boon written from Lon
don at brief intervals ever nlnco Miss
Lccnrron joined her father In this city last „ _
winter. The story outlined In the letters Is to jj
thu effect that Locarron und Hurllngum.wlth ,
whom he was In partnership on the north J
side , were both spies ; that Dr. Cronln.
learned their real character , and In order to-
pet a fuller insight into their plans permitted
thorn to thin ! ; ho could bo hired. Ho ap
parently accepted their proposition that ho
should enter the American branch of the
English secret service , and obtained nil the
information without civing any in return. "
Tboy became suspicious and sought tn obtain
from him certain paiiers given In bin sup
posed character ns spy. Ho refused to glvo
them up. Meanwhile Locnrron was sum
moned to Englund to testify against Parncll.
Burlingam was told to obtain the documents ,
but Cronln refused to yield them und threat
ened exposure of English practices iu
America. It was resolved to rob him of the pa
per , and it was In that attempt that the doc
tor was killed. Burlmgnm has since sold
out his drug store and disappeared.
The Evening Journal has the same story
In substance nnd udds that in opposition
thereto it is claimed that at the prouer stngo-
of the Cronln trial the prosecution will pro
duce as witnesses T. J. Kirly , who was in
Chicago us an apeut of the British govern
ment some tlmo before Cronin's murder Dry
ing into the secrets of the Clan-im-gaol ; Lo
carron , tho-spy , nnd Patrick Coonoy , famil
iarly known as "Tho Fox. " Lecarron , it la.
alleged , bus revealed to American detectives
the names of certain men upon whom suspi
cion has not rested.
Industrious researches by a Times reporter
produced the Chicago correspondent ot Miss-
Lecaron. His name Is George E. May , a
clerk in importing goods cstubllshmant. Mr.
' May admitted he hud been the recipient of
letters from Gertrude Lecaron.
"I bate to huvo my name brought Into this ,
thing , " said he , "bull pledge you my word
there Is not oven n reference mndo to Dr. *
Cronln In all the letters. "
Mr. May was certain Miss Lecaron had no- ij
other gentleman friend in Chicago with
whom she corresponded , although ho was
uwaro nke was writing to a young laily. '

THE WOOIj MAUItET.
A Very Satisfactory Condition of
Trade lloporlod.
BOSTON , Mass. , Sept. 18. [ Special Tele
gram to THIS BEE. ] The American Wool
Reporter in reviewing the market for the-
past week reports a very satisfactory condi
tion ot trade , general sales und demand ,
being on a steady increase , save in Boston ,
wlioro the market has been holding its own ,
doubtless effected by the recent meeting' of
the wool manufacturers , both the buyer *
and sellers holding off to know what the re
sult of the deliberations ot the buyers will
be. New York traders announce lur o pur
chases by mills , but only to fill orders , and
therefore anticipate gleefully future heavy
buying at pricces largely in advance of
present quotations , proceeded by a Blight
slump. This latter has como , and it Is-
claimed , from the the fuel that the main fea
ture of the metropolis murkot has boon In
pulled , of which 200,000 pounds sold ut fig
ures understood to bo considerably below
quotations. Prices otherwise remain stiff.
In Boston American clip , good quality ,
brings OU cents , witii medium nt IJ7 cents , .
At the seaboard the pull wool Is limited al
most entirely to Hories A und B lambs ana-
shearings. Eastern lambs In grease bring-
easy W cents and 5f > to M cents scoured , In.
X Ilceces Ohio is easier than Michigan , hold
ers or the former giving uwuy moro In
prico.
The peculiar feature of the week has been
the discovery , If such It could be culled , of
u peculiar Inequality in the prices of wools
mainly unwashed , existing between Chicntro-
and thu eastern seaboard. When freight is.
only 1- cents u pound prices have been 3 to.
1 cents lower ut Chicago than in Boston.
This inaugurated u raid upon the latter city
by eastern buyers 'and being tumbled to in ,
tno eleventh hour caused a sudden pull up-
will advance western prices. Receipts , na-
forcslmdowcd last week , continue to tuo dily
fall off. The major purt of this season's ,
