Wabiiinotok, April 20. Tho War Dopartmont
has received, through Major-Gen. llrooko. a
report from Ilrlg.-Clcn, Ludlow, commanding
tho Department of Havana city, In regard to
tho organization, present condition and pros
pects of tho native police force organized In
Havana, Ho spoaks highly of tho efforts of
'Cnpl John McCullagh In organizing tho.
force. Tito Chlot of tho forco, Menocnl,
was a Major-Oonoral In tho Cuban army,
highly esteemed and American bred. Through
hltu'Oon I.ttdlow socurod tho cootioratlon of
young ofTlcors of tho Cuban Army, who stood,
high socially hi tho Island, nnd gave them In
spectorships and other rcsponslblo positions.
Of more than H.000 applicants 850 men wero
selected. It was required thnt the men should
bo ablo to rend and write, but, as Qon. Ludlow
says, this kept out twenty-four out of twenty
flv o who eamo from tho Cuban Army Ho usod
ubout 200 or these, however. Itl tho organisa
tion of a mounted rural police. Uf tho forco
(len Ludlow saysi
"'I hey nro excitable, according to your
standards, nnd lack tho stolidity mid stability
of a Ilroadw ny policeman, but they nre doing ex
ceedingly well. They do not know how to handle
crowds, but they aro learning that. Thoy hnve
had two pitched battles with the disorderly
classes, Iu both easos coming oil victorious,
though with considerable loss to themselves,
mid have thereby boen hardened up to a sense of
t heir responsibility, whilo tho disorderly classes
hnvo Itariiednvaluabln lessoiint thesame time
that the iwjIIco havo earned tho public sympathy
as their protectors mid guardians. Thoy still
do not know how to arrest criminals, who oc
caslonallyitake thoir clubs uway from them
and maltreat thorn, nnd they nrn too quick to
draw their pistols, and they shoot too crooked
for nnythlng. To aim at n flying thief down
the htreet nnd shoot an Innocent citizen In tho
calf of tho lg across the street Is qulto too much,
and I told Monoenl that If his men eouldtiot bo.
taught to shoot stralghtcrl should hnvetotnke
their guns away. In all respects I thitikthat wo
mo miiklngstoady and extraordinary progress.
Handled properly, the difficulties aro in no
wise serious or overwhelming, cither In tho
conduct of nffalrsor tho organisation of gov
ernment. Thero is apparently a lack of co
herence, and seopi about some of tho general
administration and decidedly too much Inter
ference In minor and detnll matters. All this
Is very nnnoylng nnd makes oxhaustlvo de

Canton. 0 April 20.-T?lie detenco of Mrs.
Ooorgn In the Saxton murdor Ulal to-day de
manded that the State acknowledge thnt let
ters between Mrs. (leorce and Snxton In his
possession at the time of his death, and other
papers which Mrs. M. (.' Barber, sister of Sax
tou und administrator of Ills estate had been
summoned to produce in court had been tie
stioyed or that Mrs. Barber appear In court.
Mrs. Harbor is not In good hoalth nnd not able
to appear. Tho State's Iawyr nnnouncei
that they had no knowledge of the letters and
papors nud could not make (lie admission.
Had tho acknowledgment boen Irpads !tho de
fence would have producod the letters and pa
pers Id substance from such matter as they
had In their possession.
A bailiff was sent tbask Mrs. Barber to ap
poar. but Instead a physician's certificate was
sent to the effect that she was unable to ap
pear Id court. The defence then asked for an
order to take her deposition. The Court or
dered that on application for 'deposition bo
filed with an affidavit of expected testimony,
and If it was competent tho deposition Jmlght
be taken.
Mn. Lizzie Miller was tho star witness to
day. She testified that about 0:30 o'clock on
the ovonlfig of Saxton's death she saw a form
approaching her homo in Linden avenue,
along ono nf the routes from the A'.thouse resi
dence to tho city. The form looked like a wo
man wearing a black rtre.-s. It was walking
very rapidly and stumbled sevoral times ovor
the uneven plank walk. She satv it more than
a hundred feot away. As it came nearer sho
discovered that it was a man wearing a long,
black mackintosh with n cape and also a white
sailor hat with a dark band. Sho could not
tell who It was, but was positive tho form was
that of a man.
On ctoss-examlnntton sho said she had no
ticed this man particularly becausoof his walk
ing so fast, and ho was recalled to her tho next
mornlngCwhen sho'had a strange impression
on reading in the papers of Saxton's death on
Lincoln nvenue, west of her house. Sho said
the night was dark nnd drizzling, but that she
saw him nearly a hundred feet nwnv nud
again when he passed tho next gasoline lamp
still further away. She e.aw the movements of
his body and saw his arm swinging under tho
cape and sho also saw him turn around, facing
hor.
Attorney W. O. Werntz was ngaln on the
stand to-day. He was first used to rebut Mrs.
Flnley's testimony of threats by Mrs IQeorge
by quoting her testimony on behalf of, Mrs.
George In tho poaco proceeding Then ho
wont over the details of roplevlnlng goods from
'iaxton when Mis George was with him bax
ton was angry and wanted her put out of tho
block. She wanted to talk, but ho told hor to
keep quiet and he would do tho talking Ho
ivas also used to Identify somo letters usod In
the hearing on the replevin proceedings In
which daxton addressed Mrs. George In en
dearing terms und acknowledged her owner
ship ot some of tho goods Involved In the case
In trial when the letters wero road. One of
tli e letters also spoko about the divorce caso
which sho had began, and expressed a wish
that he;could get a letter Simple George had
written. After the loss or deitruUlon of these
letters by this und sevoral otheriwltnessos,
they were admitted as evidence In tho form in
which they wore published in aloca1 newspa
per. Tho defence then offered tho court tecords
on Mrs Ueorge's breach of promise suit and
the replevin suits. The journal entries In
theao actions showed them sottled out of court
to the satisfaction of nil concerned The rec
ord of the Inlunctlon keeping Mrs Georgoout
of the Saxton block was also offered, aud
showed that tho Injunction had been mide
perpetual. The South Dakota deposition about
u traced hotel register entry In a mutilated
register waa ruled out by the Court. Newton
George, the oldest son of the accused, aged IT,
related frequent visits of Saxton to his mothor,
liegluning when he wna about 0 yoars old.
Saxton guvo her presents of candy and Mowers,
he said, and gave him and his brother onndy
nnd little presents Ho had seen his mother
sitting on baxton's lap a number or tlmos. and
Saxton used to send him and his brother
away when they lived In tho Saxton block tho
second time. This was aftor tho reparation
from the husband, which the young man re
membered, but could not llx n dute. Ho and
his brother nre now living with their father in
Alliance
During tho moMng Prosecuting Attorney
Tomercno Interruitcd tho examination of a
witness and announced to the Court that Mrs.
George was constantly loosing at the witness
on the stand und be at her. and that he was
a'so shaking her head toward him Ho fur
ther said that his attention was called to the
fuct that the s line proceeding had oecuned
during the examination of witnesses vestei
day anil asked that such conduct ba corrected.
Mr Wolty Indignantly protested agnlnet the
statement, and insisted on hiving objections
noted to It on the recoid Tho Court ruled
that the statement should be stricken from the
record.
The morning testimony opened with Dr J
C Kvman. superintendent of tho Stato Has.

Kdouard Jules Henri Pnllleron, who died

clilody through tho authorship of "Lo Hondo

dramatist In France nnd In nearly ovory other
country In Europe. He wroto many other
plays, but It Is to this ono that ha owes his
reputation. Now York onco heard tho play in
nn adaptation by Clinton Stownrt called "Our
Society," and acted at tho Madison Square
Thcatro, Thero was not enough of tho spirit
ot M. Pallloron's brilliant conversational
comedy left, howovor, to glvomuahot nn Idoa

dramatlo effort. It was given nt tbo Oddon,
nnd a year Intor tho ComeMlu Franchise pro
ducod his two-net comedy 111 vorse culled "Le
Dornler Qunrtler." It was at tho Gymnnso
that his most brilliant work was given, al
though It was soon after taken Into the
repertoire of tho French National The
atre, and has remained one of its best
contemporaneous dramas, Somewhat moro
serious was "Los Faux Mcnages," which, like
Its successors. " Helcne," " L'Ago Ingrat," " Le
Chevalier Trumoau" and "Pendant lo Bnl.-'
novor approached tho success ot the play whloh
tftin for M. Pallleron his fume. "Lo Monde

BtnicusK. April 20. Tho visit of William
Jennings Bryan to Syracuse, on Invitation of
John McCarthy, undertaker, responsibility for
which the leaders of the Democratic organi
zation here at llrst sought to avoid, resulted
not only In a vlotory tor McCarthy, who strung
his "Blxteen to One Is n Winner" banner over
the speaker's platform In the Alhambra, but
In outspoken Indorsement of Bryan a9 the
Democratic) Presidential candldato In 1000 by
Mnyor McGulro, tho hoad of the Democratic
organization.
Col. Bryan arrived this afternoon on the Em
pire Stato express and was almost dragged
from the tralu by Undertaker McCurthy. who
tried to carry him bv forco to Dunfeo's Thea
tre, which he had promised to visit. Mayor
McGulro advlstd Col. Bryan not logo to the
theatre, and he did not. Instead, Col, Bryan,
Undertaker McCarthy and the Reception Com
mittee went to tho Yates Hotel, In tho lobby
ot wblili McCarthy had set up n great picture
of tho Colonel, surrounded by flowers and
with a real rose In the buttonhole. Toward
the ploturo McCarthy tried to drag his guest,
hut tho Mayor took him nwny to the clerk's
desk.
"Everybody get in line and shako hands with
the next President." McCarthy shouted
. "Better let hlra register first." said Mayor
McGulre: "It Is customary."
"Well, let him register, then." said Mc
Carthy; "but everybody get in lino."
Thero wns an Informal levee that lasted fif
teen minutes Then Col. Brn hroko nwny.
and with tho'Mnvor made for the elevntor. Ills
room was on tho first floor, and McCarthy,
who had not been fortunate enough to gst In
sldo tho elevntor. was at the top of the slulrs
as he stopped out.
"I read In The New Yong Bun. Mr. McCar
thy, that nn undertaker was to have charge
here and that I was to;bo buried out of sight,"
Bill J Col. Bryan.
"We only tjury our opponents horc, replied
the undertaker.
"It looked by tho returns last fall as though
your opponents bad burled you," said Chair
man Cummins of the General Committee to
Mr. McCarthy, recalling the lattcr's tall-end
run for Congress on the silver ticker.
"The Btory would hnve been different If you
had given me the regular nomination." replied
MV. McCarthy,
After these pleasantries Col. Bryan reached
his room.
Twenty-five hundred people, men and wo
men, gathered at the Alhambra to hear the
ipeaklng. John J. Cummins, Chairman of tho
Democratlo Committee, who called the meet
ing to order, mado but one reference to the
gueht of the evening, to whom he referred as
tho "silver-tongued and golden-hearted loader
of the National Democracy," and made the
rest of his tnlk n stump speech for Mayor Mo
Gulro.Twhom he Introduced as Chairman. Mr.
Cummins Is not a free-silver man.
Mnyor McGulre. who made campaign
speeches throughout the Stato for Bryan In
18SH1. said In the course of his speech: "ThU
demonstration should cause the timid aud
fearful Democrats to got down off the fence."
Then, hedging a littlo. tho Mayor said that he
differed with Cot. Bryan on some issues, but
agreed with him on a. great many more, nnd
presented him ns tho leader of tho Democratlo
partv, predicting In n roundabout way his
nomination for tho Presidency next year.
Col. Bryan was greeted with cheers and ap
plause. John McCarthy was the most wildly
enthusiastic man in the hall. His hour of
triumph had come and he made the most of It.
From underaenth the speaker's stand he had
fished out two pairs of blue overalls discarded
by tho stage bands. Jumping upon a tablo.'ho
waved them wildly about his heal for the
space of two minutes, making ferocious
whoors of "Sixteen to one" At each revolu
tion tho unblfurcated portion of ono of theso
garments just escaped Col. Bryan's bald spot,
kut thn undertaker did not desist until a re
straining hand was laid on him by the Mayor.
When order wns restored Col. Bryan an
nounced that he was on tho stand to speak In
support of tho Chicago platform, which he did
for an hour, making his familiar arguments
on the Questions of money Iseue, taxation,
trusts and Imperialism. Col. Bryan will leave
for Jloohester to-morrow morning.
