The first question ced Col. Jones by Gen. Lewis provoked a spute among the attorneys as to its com- tency, which consumed 20 minutes. With innumerable interruptions by the uitzer attorneys Col.

Mr. Pulitzer was communicated with by Mr. Carvalho, and a draft made. Mr. Carvalho and I, sitting at the desk, drew up a rough draft of the points agreed upon after he had communicated with Mr, Pulitzer and Mr. Pulitzer had objected to some points and agreed to others.

Then when he finished copying it he gave it to me and I copied it. That is the memorandum which I took to Mr. Pulttzer and read, I want to read that memorasdum with the Court's ermission. This is the memorandum that eDona took down from my dictation and which I copied: ‘Col. Jones will not accept this amendment. Says is would abrogate ins most vital feature of his contract, which ig control over subordinates. Says under the contract he is responsible for the suc- cess or failure of the enterprise; that re- sponsibility must carry with it power: that he would be foolish to accept the respon- sibility without the power: that he insists that the contract stands as it is.' “Tl stated to McDono further that I was tired of this foolishness, and if the con- tract was not signed by 3 o'clock that I would take the boat to New York and we could call the negotiations off. He went with that memorandum to Mr, Pulitzer. He re- turned in about an hour, bringing with him by the way I ought to say that I recol- lect the, fact that in addition to bringing ever thet written memorandum at that time, Mr McDona brought a letter, a co y of a letter in the handwriting of But e, which I was to copy from that original and gend back to him, in which I was to state that I agreed to the by-laws and something to be written on the face of the certifi- cates.“ Q. “You have part of that letter?’ A. “Confidential pri- "VY es.

At the end of the conversation he said to me: ‘If you have any apprehension on that score the Board of Directors can adopt a résolution. You can draw it up and I will gi it, to be sent to St. Louis to be adopted with other resolutions about which we have talked. What I did send to Mr. Pulitzer is in his deposition there.“ Q. “What 4s the next communication you had with Mr. Pulitzer after leaving Jekyl Island?’ A. “I did not go to St. Louis direct.

Special to The Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 7.—There are those in the Treasury Department, sly, nimble persons, who know the side doors and the back doors of banker’s offices in New York—men who flit about Wall street in the shadow—who are exerting their ut- most powers to defeat the new loan.

John W. Noble Discusses the In- ternational Problem. St. Louis Council No. 6, Legion of Honor, | held an open session at Occidental Hall Mon- day night. There was a large atten ce of distinguished citizens. Chancellor J; K. Gwynn delivered an dress and Gen. John W. Noble ke on the Monroe doctrine as applied to the Ven- ezuelan question, Gen. Noble, after briefly outlining the principles involved in President Cleveland’s message and the eriticisms by Lord Salis- bu and others, said: * “There is no one in this audience, it is certain, who desires war for war's sake, It is true that war between the two great English 9 nations of the- world would be attended with not only great | of life and material,. but would 2 e their business and eommerce to a degree never | heretofore known in cmp And, there- | fore, there is nothing but the maintenance | of a principle vital to our nation’s prosperity and safety, that can justify a resort to the arbitrament of arms. When the declaration of President Monroe was first made it was received by the American people with great approval, and the recent message of Presi- dent Cleveland, in so far as it announced the principles involved, has been. warmly welcomed by the great masses of our popu- lation. “It is not that war is invited, but, to the contrary, that tt may, if possible, be avoid- ed. Such was the cause of the declarations contained in the message of President Mon- roe, and the reason of the announcement of President Cleveland now. “Upon any fair interpretation is it not to be said that the declaration does mot in- clude the right of our Government to de- cide’ upon the facts as to what our rights are, and whether they are invaded or seri- ously menaced—and it does not belong to any other Government to reject our con- own judgment. With such interpretation of the declaration, and the American people have ways and now so understand. i, while our Government will be at liberty to avoid entangling alliances with any other nations or states, and leave to European powers the settlement, without our inter- uestions peculiar to them- selves, we will deem all efforts to broaden, by force or intrigue, the territories of Eu- ropean monarchies or their dependencies on this hemisphere as acts unfriendly to aid if deemed by our | Government menacing or injurious to our mention their na ‘quite famliar to reading the story] of the great Morgan syndicate. „Gentlemen,“ sa the Secretary, in a cold, hard voice, the Treasury is willing to furnish gold for oy f legitimate demand, but if * attempt to draw upon the ag gold after to-da@y, as you are now do- tas for hoarding Or speculation, I shall ado t an effective remedy for the protection of the Government's reserve.

The gecond day you will be paid 20 per cent in silver; the third day 30 per cent and so on until one-half will be ver.“ „But,“ exclamed the astonished bankers, “this is in violation of the implied obliga- past that’ the Government will pay in go * abe no mistake about that, gentle- men, replied Mr. Manning. The law says: ‘Coin,’ and the Treasury will exercise its undoubted prerogative.”’ a That ended the gold raiding. The Govern ent won its point just as soon as the ecretary of the Treasury showed that he had a backbone. ALL OB NONE. Ultimatum of Banker Morgan on the Bond Question. CAGO, III., Jan. 7.—A special from gton, D. C., says: comes the important information Ir. Morgan, who has formed, or is , a bond syndicate, that he will take bonds offered by the Governnient or “his is his ultimatum. experts in finance know what this s.

Just as sure as those bonds are sold just that sure will Wall street buy them. A bank in Steu- benville, „ the National Exchange Bank, telegraphed offering to $20,000 of bonds at 1.12 banks haye sent similar mes- gages to Mr. Carlisle.

We do not hate Great Britain, because de do not fear her, but we do not entirely confide in her, because we know her,” he | continued. | “But we may well claim the right when there is a conflict of interest to decide for ‘ourselves whether her conduct is consis- tent with our peace or menacing to our safety. And when we assert a time-honored principle as the basis of our decision, and she is not satisfied, we cannot afford to _abandon our principles to please her. At will not come to a matter of war. But even war is not always to be avoided, if peaceable measures fail. No. nation can expect to prosper that does not respect it- self and is not respected by others.

NEW YOR Jan. 7.—Julian Ralph, the well-known correspondent cabled the fol- lowing from London last_night: It was with caution that I cabled you a warning of what may be the sensational character of the news England keeps dot- tled up in Africa. It may not prove so, but thé fear grows that a revolution is on foot in Cape Col- ony, and perhaps in all the British African colonies. a Not a word has been sent to the news- papers from Cape Town since New Tears. To-day both cables are working, but they work only for the Government. Code mes- sages to Africa are refused at the cable offices, and the Government now requires a mass of delayed messages to be worked off on this end, from England to Africa, before messages from Africa are taken up. The warship Victoria has been ordered from Bombay to Cape Town, with 1.200 men of the Lancashire Regiment aboard, and all day the activity at the Offices of War and of the Admiralty has exceeded any that has been seen in those departments for many -years. Lord Wolsley, who sometimes puts two to four hours a day, is busy from morning until 7 o’clock at night, and the stress at the Admiralty is equally great and suggestive. England has never closed the avenues of public news in modern times before, and this st e action not only whets curi- osity, but * the worst imaginings. Four words in a private message have come from Cape Town to-day. They were permitted to pass the censorship because they were addressed to the Earl of * by his son, Who wrote that Jamison d been released and that Cecil Rhodes had resigned. 8 statement is old news, but the tidings of Jamison’s freedom gives license to the belief that he may have been liberated by the revolutionigts. In the same light it is reasoned that Rhodes resigned the premiership in order to be free to assist his fellow colonists to throw off the En- glish yoke. It is not this that England fears, if such is the case, so much as she keeps in mind the German Emperor, whom Stead to-day calls “Dr. Jim of Berlin.” In case of a revolution in the British colonies the doughty war lord might be quick to recog- nize the rebels as belligerents. A startling rumor, too startling for cre- dence, comes from Berlin to the effect that the Emperor informed Dr. Leyds of Trans- vaal in an interview to-day that he meant to send a minister to Johannesburg. By according an interview to Leyds the Emperior violated diplomatic rules. Since England insists that the Transvaal is un- der her protectorate, he can have no diplo- matic agent. That is bad enough, but to send a, eter to the Transvaal . would pe be a declaration of war against 4 | The Transvaal Consul-in London, as he was leaving the Colonial Office this after- noon, said: “The news is far worse than anything we have had yet.

LONDON, Jan. 7.—Missing dispatches, de- layed in the transmission from Johannes- burg and Cape Town, are gradually reach- ing this city. Some of the latest messages filed are arriving before the earliest dis- patches placed in the hands of the telegraph and cable operators at the different places mentioned. They are dated from Jan. 1 on- ward and, being collected, the followin vasion of the 8 0. 8 time age the Uitlanders or foreign residents of the Transvaal have been complaining of the treatment they have been subjected to by the Boers, The Uitlanders, though far out- numbering the Boers, have been compelled to contribute practically all the revenue of the republic, and yet have no representation or voice in its government, That is their side of the question. On the other hand, the Boers elaim that the very fact that the Ulitlanders, mainly — —ͤ— so far outnumber them is the main argument against giving them full representation, for then they would soon outvote the Boers and make the republic nothing more or less than a British colony. On this ground the ill-feeling grew until intimations were made.to Dr. Jamison, ad- ministrator of the territory of the British Chartered Co., that the British in the Trans- vaal were ripe for revolt, and that if he would take the initiative the Uitlanders would rise and support him. Dr. Jamison then began preparations for a raid upon Johannesburg, mustering about 700 men and plenty of ammunition, but little food on the Transvaal border. When the right moment arrived a letter was sent to him to go to the assistance of his compatri- ots, who were in danger at the hands of the aroused Boers, then riding about the coun- * in a most threatening manner. n Monday, Dec. 30, Dr. Jamison’s force crossed. the Transvaal border without the knowledge, it would seem, of the Uitlanders of Johannesburg. He cut the telegraph wires behind him, to prevent being ordered back by the British Government, it is claimed, and pushed on for Kruegersdorp, where he expected to meet reinforcements of 2,000 Uitlanders. On the following day, Dec. 31, there was intense excitement at Johannesburg, people hurrying into the town from the mines and suburbs. The Central Committee of Uitlander citi- zens constituted themselves a provisional government for the town and announced that ample provision would be made to de- fend it against any body of Boers. The provisional government established itself in the Consolidated Gold Fields build- ing and three Maxim rapid-fire guns were placed by the citizens in advantageous posi- tions about it. The so-called “new government” then sent an ulitmatum to the Government of Presi- dent Krueger at Pretoria. The latter pro- osed a conference at Pretoria on the fol- owing day (Wednesday), but the commit- tee appointed by the new government hesi- — to go to Pretoria without a safe con- By this time the news that Dr. Jamison had crossed the border was in Johannesburg and his arrival at that place was expect hourly.

The statistics with regard to street railway assessments publisned in the Sunday Post-Dispatch of last Sunday should be carefully studied by citizens. These statistics are an exposure of scandalous tax evasion with the consent. of the Board of Equalization. They show *het the mileage of the railways on the books of the Assessor has not kept pace with the mileage on the streets, That the assessment valuation is a ridicu- lous fraction of the cost of the roads, not to speak of the value of the proper- ties, and that an increasing and improv- ing equipment shows reduction points in the assessment. in all The approximate values per mile of the roadibeds and rights of way range from $89,746 to $217,987, but the assessed val- uations range from $7,000 to $15,000, only two being above $9,000. Estimating the least proper assessment on the basis of cost, which is not the assessment contem- plated by law or prompted by equity, the present assessment is less than one-half what it sheuld be. The actual assess- ment is $1,649,464 less than the estimated fair assessment on the basis of cost alone. The city is twice robbed—once of valu- able franchises and afterwards of all the taxes due on the franchises and a large part of the taxes due on the in- vested capital Need we wonder that men of moderate means pay heavy taxes and the treasury lacks funds for public 4.6 work? FIRST DEGREE LYING, The Chicago Chronicle is trying to give fresh currency to the exploded lies which a New York newspaper invented Prete extortionate charges for hotel ac- mmodations in St. Louis. e Chronicle asserts that the extor * prices asked for hotél aceémmo- — soe in St. Louis have caused a de- mand that the Republican National Com- mittee be called together in special ses- sion to change the location of the conven- tion. This is lying in the first degree, It is Tying with a deliberate, premeditated and malicious intent to commit slander and deception. If the Republican National Committee should hold a special meeting to change the location of the convention what city would it choose? Would it leap from alleged overcharge in St. Louis to cer- thin robbery in Chicago? © — . ͤ Lͤ— JOHN BULL'S BULLIES. A ootrespondent signing himself An- gioAmerican” suggested that it would probably be found that “the fellows who , Came to grief in the Transvaal were in large part sons of wealthy English fam- ilies—younger eons, not provided for un- der the law of primogeniture, 4nd there- fore only available for the church or the colonies—sent out seeking whom they may devour, under the popular fiction of making their fortunes.’” This has been shown to be true by the dispatches from South Africa. The defeat of Jamison’s freebooters has pro- duded a feeling of great humiliation, “as) ‘there are among them the younger sons f the n — e than that „053 greater than that ot 1802. | che Mant thes debate’ business of 1895 $26,288 greater than that of the last three months of 1894; $21,068 greater 1893, and $11,928 greater than that of the last three months of 1892. The Post-Dispatch has reason to be proud of this record. Although a year of business recovery the initial losses Were made up and a substantial increase over the best previous year gained. The business ghowed a constantly increasing growth. The facts prove an increasing appreciation of the paper's worth and popularity by the advertisers, who are in best position to know them. — — . — — — BANKER MORGAN'S OFFENSE. The news that anger at Banker Mor- gan and his syndicate associates drove the President to make a popular instead of a syndicate loan is not surprising. Mr. Cleveland had good cause of anger against Mr. Morgan. When Mr. Cleveland made a contract with Mr. Morgan and Mr. Belmont for the last issue of bonds he gave these gentieman a snap. He contracted to sell them the bonds at a ridiculously low figure in return for shadowy obligations. It was a secret, éontract, but instead of respecting the confidente of the President and showing appreciation of his favor by keeping quiet about the good thing he had given _ they blazoned it ab oad. Cleveland had secretly sacrificed the splendid credit of the Government to the interests of a few favored financiers. The American people were apprised of the fact that Mr. Cleveland had made a gift of about $11,000,000 to a few financial magnates. When the present bond issue was dis- ton, held a private conference with the officials there and hurrying back to New York, advertised another distribution of pie by the President and formed a com- bine to corner all of it. It was natural that the President should revolt against such bétrayal and maltreatment. The bond contract was a private compact between gentlemen—the gentleman in the White House and the gentlemen of the Wall Street counting houses—and should have been respected as such. There should even be honor among financial pals. Mr. Morgan should have known that Mr. Cleveland could not stand such reck- less disregard of thé pfoprieties of a governmental snap. He would have not onty Congress, but, the people on his hands, ; ==” = It might be „ that a Repubucan city administration would want to show the visitors to the great Republic- an Convention a city clean and well kept, an example for all other cities; but the local Republican anfbition does not ap- pear to be considering any scheme that does not draw something out of the treas- ury without giving anything in return. $n — The Chicagd Times-Herald uses the word “vamos” in connection with Cam- pos.

From the Chicago Record, The attitude of Chili is due to two reasons; first the British influence, which is very strong in that country, ahd the well-known desife of the government to control if it does not absorb the neighborifig’ ‘nations. Valparaiso, the chief city éf Chil, is prac- tically a British colony. e Bnglish lan- guage is spoken on the street and in the counting-houses as much as the Spanish, and a large proportion of the commercial population are Englishmen. While Chili might not take an active part in hostilities between the United States and Dugland over the Monroe doctrine, her sympathy would certainly be with the latter country. A Democratic Opportunity. From the Little Rock (Ark.) Gasetta The Post-Dispatch insists that Bt.

So the exectitors of the Barnum estate receive from the Republic of Venezuela now each year a check for something like $150. WOMEN OF NOTE.

While Washington has a large church- going population, and during the sessions of Congress and the winter season the churches are filled at morning service, the habit of using Sunday afternoop and even- ing for social enjoyment has been growing more common until now it is quite general in the “swagger” set. The ladies of the diplomatic corpse originally set the fashion, and those who like to be considered swelis are pretty apt to follow them and imitate whatever they may do. Nearly all the for- eign families have adopted Sunday as their reception day, and their drawing-rooms are usually filled from 8 in the afterfoon until 10 and U at fight. The practice has even been adopted at the British tion, al- though Sir Jullan and Lady Pauncefote are regular church-goers and close adherents to the established faith. n 2 75 N , . * 1 ae a wee 08 * 2 * . ae ee ow * e bow in front.

They acknowledge that the problem is too ꝙ ep for them and so they say to the corpora- tions: “The job is too much for us; wein give you permission to bury your wires and you can figure out the rest.” , Of course the great and good men who are at the head of the Edisén and the Bell companies will immediately buy a bunch of new pencils and go to work to solve the puzzle. It is pointed out that this same problem was satisfactorily flgufed out in New York and Boston long ago. In the fermer city an elaborate system of subways was construct- ed ahd the corporations were fold by ordi- nance to put their wires below. They strove to evade the law and the result was that Hugh J. Grant, who was then Mayor, simply chopped down their poles and cut their wires. He told them bluntly that every pole erected would be treated In just that way. The result was wat the wires went under- ground and have remained there ever, since. In Boston the same trou | itself that is now confronting the officiais of St. Louis. The corporations juggled with the question :for a long time, their objections got the whole thing in an ugly tangle.

Blake says that instead of running down stairs after him and catching him, as he might easily have done, he searched some of the other rooms in the house Lynch now says that he doesn’t even believe there was another man.

The man is evidently a green hand at this business, or some one who knew just exactly what was going on inside that little room tipped the matter off. When a Post-Dispatch reporter nr yg into the Federal Building this gee ag, gee Lynch he found him out in the hall ‘talking to a man with a sandy mustache, Sandy curly hair, weighing about 170 pounds, and clad in a light suit.

EE Se CONE FROM THE CONVENT And No One Seems to Kaow Where to Find Miss Watkins, Stella Elizabeth Watkins, the 18-year-old daughter of a prosperous merchant at Dan- ville, III., has mysteriously disappeared from a convent in Alton. Her father is nearly wild with grief and charges that the girl is being deprived of her liberty. Three days ago Martin Watkins, the father, came to St. Louis en route to Alton to wet his daughter and escort her home. It was her 18th birthday and he came here to purchase some presents for her.

The father, accompanied by his son Wi came here, ate breakfast at the n * and with light hearts boarded a train for Alton. At the convent the parents and brothe were told that the girl was not there, and very little was konwn of her whereabouts, In his anger the parent charged that the irl was being secretly kept in the convent fo or the purpose of inducing her to take the veil. When her mother died Stella was 11 years old. One of the last wishes of 71 mother was to have her daughter educated in @ con- vent, Watkins could not afford to send the child te an expensive institute. He had friends in Alton, among them ex-Mayor Brenholt. He took the girl there, and had = placed in the Catholic Orphans’ Home.
