Mr. Settle ot North Carolina C’ppoies
au Appropriation for Punishlug Vio
lators of the Revenue Laws,
By Southern Associated Press.
Washington, March 17.— House. —
The House at 12:20 o’clock on mo
tion of Mr. Sayera went into com
mittee of thß whole to consider the
sundry civil appropriation bill, Mr.
Leßter in the Chair. By unani
mous consent, it was decided to
take up the amendments to the bill
proposed by the committee on the
judiciary. The first amendment
which was agreed to as follows:
“No fee shaii be paid to any mar
shall for the execution of any war
rant from a Uaited States commis
sioner unless the same shall have
been executed within sixty days
after the warrant was issued ”
No other amendment was Buc:ess
ful. Several wire ruled out on
points of order or dropped.
Mr. Settle, of North Carolina,
moved to strike out the paragraph
appropriating $50,000 for detecting
and bringing to punishment viola
tors of the internal revenue laws.
He said that now, at a time when a
policy of retrenchment is erforced
on every other line, the committee
has doubled the appropriation for
this item, which has for years been
made in the sundry civil bill. His
primary objection to the increase
and to the whole item, Mr. Settle
said, was that it was wholly unnec
essary. There were 919 commis
sioned internal revenue in
North Carolina, besides Kputy
marshals and those who are fnown
as “Form 10” and “Awar ” men.
who were paid out of the appro
priation under discussion. The
money arising out of the appropria
tion, Mr. Settle said, was largely
used as a corruption fund ,and led to
to the reporting of purely technical
violations of the law, to the great
embarrassment and often loss to in
nocent persons. No argument had
been adduced, he said, to show that
an increase of officers was neces
sary. He had read from the clerk’s
desk an extract from the platform
adopted at a recent Democratic
State convention asking for the abo
lition of the internal revenue sys
tem as a war tax and a grievous
burden upon the people. This ex
tract, he said, showed how the De
mocracy of North Carolina regarded
the internal revenue law. Those
who were familiar with the political
conditions there knew that the
Democratic party was committed to
the abolition of these taxes. Yet
with the party in control of the gov
menfc, they not only continued them
but increased them, and now pro
posed increasing the corruption
fund by. an additional appropria
tion of $25,000.
The committee rose and the
special order for the hour, eulogies
upon the late Representative W. H
Enoobe, of Ohio, who died in July
last, was taken up.
Eleven members pronounced brief
eulogies upon their departed friend
and co-worker and then at 3.55 the
House adjourned until noon Mon
day.

RALEIGH, N C, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 18, 1894
THE BRECKINRIDGE CASE.
AN INTKKVIBW WUICH TELLS
SOMETHING OF THE DEFENSE.
Some Spicy Speeches to be Made and a
Straightforward Statement to be
Made by tne Defendant.
By Southern Associated Press
Washington, D. C, March 17 -
Col Breckinridge declined to be in
terviewed for publication respecting
the future course of his trial, but
Mr. Wm E. Christian, of New York,
having asked au intimate and well
informed friend of the defendant
what the probable effect of the trial
would be on Col. Breckinridge $
political future, was answered as
follows :
“He is quite certain o’ re election,
He has about 24,000 voters in his
district, of which be received about
20,000 the last election a raejo""ity
of some 6,000. His election three
times has taken place during Presi
dential year and twice in off years
In the off years he has had no op
ponents, the vote having been only
Rome sii or s' ven thousand all told
This being off year there will be no
opposition except in his own party
and that only as to his renomina
tion. Two gentlemen who are
striving lor the nomination are E
E Settle and Wm C. Owners. Mr.
Settle is from the celebrated county
of Owen, representing 4,000 voters.
Owners from the county of Scott,
representing some 1,800 voters
Thus far there has been only one
primary in whioh adherence to him
could be tested This was held on
the 4‘.h of March at Frankfort,
when three distinctly and personal
Breckinridge men were nomina
ted.
Congressional nominations take
plaoe in August, and as it is the
custom in bis district to give the
sitting member a chance for can
vassing after the closing session of
Congress he will go back to Ken
tucky and speak in every precinct.
I firmly believe that he will be re
eleoted by his constituents.
How long do you suppose this
trial will last?
“The witnesses for the plaintiff
should be through by Monday night
The Colonel’s evidence will be all
in the following Wednesday. Then
there will be two speeches on each
side, and it is not improbable that
the case will go to the jury at the
end of next week. It is likely the
speeches on the Colonel’s side will
be made by hia comrade Col. Thom
son, and his warm personal friend,
Major Ben Butter worth.’’
Will the Colonel speak ?
“ He says he expects to make ti»e
effort of his life, whioh will consist
in not speaking, for, says he, ‘ I often
find that my best speech is that
which is not spoken.’ ”
Do you object to stating to me in
outline the plan of defense ?
“I suppose not. In the first place,
no man under any circumstances
can be expected or required to
marry a woman who ia not chaste.
Os course, the defense will submit
evidence to impeach the good chr-r
--acter of the plaintiff. There will be
a deposition from Aleck Julian, a
blind man in Kentucky, who swore
that he mat the plaintiff in 1882,
two years before her meeting with
the defendant, and who went
through a mook marriage with ber.
He will say that after the marriage
the pleinfciff .asked him if it was not
enstomary for people when married
to go to their rooms and be alone,
that they did repair to a room
together, the plaintiff, according to
his deposition, being then under
the influence of intoxicants.
“Evidence will be introduced pre
sumptive of improper relations be
tween plaintiff and Jas. C Rhodes,
the man who advanced her money
under promise cf marriage.
There will be a deposition from
R R. Roseil also stating that in
1884 be met this young woman who,
he alleges, was deeply in love with
him and who implored him hs he
was leaving her to take her to Chi
cago,
As has been stated the Colonel’s
meeting with this youag woraan
took place in 1884, when she
claimed to be a school girl of 18,
with the - experiences I have men
tioned behind her. It will |be
proved by Dr. U- V. Williams, the
p‘ ysician attendant upon the 1 rth
of her sister, that at the time oi*he
birth of the youngest sifter, in 1365,
the plaintiff was two years old,
which would put her age at 21 in
stead of 18 when he met her, aa she
alleges.
It will be proved by John Brand,
Hiram Kuffham and Dr. Green, ot
Lexington, Ky., that in 1883 the
plaintiff was _ : **itor to assignation
houses,
* ‘These facts, together wiu there,
which will be introduced will c sti
lish the unchastity of the plaintiff,
but will be used rather to bolster
up the defense than as the main bul
wark. This main bulwark will con
sist in the fact that the defendant
has never at any time intended or
made a contract to marry Mies Pol
lard, arid that she knew at all times
that he would never marry her.”
i How then, do you construe the
conversation between the Col. and
Mrs. Blackburn, aB testified to by
ber on the stand l Did he not ask
Mrs Blackburn to protest her on
the ground that she was to her his
his name ? ,
“He did not. Why should Col.
Breckinridge ask Mrs. Blackburn to
protect a young woman with whom
she had been already on terms of
intimacy for two years, and who bad
participated in her receptions? The
fact that she came under Mrs. Black
burn’s protection was one that ante
dates the conversation I refer to.
You will remember, moreover, that
Mrß. Biaekburn threatened to with
draw her protection unless the Col
onel agreed to this or that condi
tion. Why should these conditions
have been risen in Mrs Blackburn’s
mind? Mrs. Filette had been tell
ing Mrs. Blackburn stories about
the plaintiff which had no doubt
weakened her ia the estimation of
Mrs Blackburn. Iu order to avoid
publio scandal, if possible, and to
save the gin, the Colonel took he
roic measures, and what he said to
Mrs. Blackburn was with the agree
ment. and for the purpose that she
might pass Horn the scene without
ary ii jury to herself and without
involving Mrs Blackburn. She did
go to New York afterwards, but she
was quickly back again, and did
everything to render any efforts for
her ineffective.”
Ia the scene whioh was enacted
in the office of Chief of Police,
Moore, what construction would
you look for ou that? Will it be
said in the defendant’s evidence that
he acted under compulsion?
“No, it will not. He will not saj
that he was afraid. I think you
might say that he was apprehensive
rather than afraid.”
“ Yes, that would express it, for
now it comes to pass that there are
two mere pistols which the plaintiff
threatened to use, besides the one
exhibited in court. But when the
Colonel takes the stand he will tell
the whole truth and face the music
like a man. What ever may have
hifpened in Major Moore’s office’
the plaintiff never dreamed for one
instant that the Colonel would ever
marry her, nor did she claim that
he had seduced her. For, do you
not remember in the evidence of
Major Moore the Colonel said to
him in her presence that he did not
seduce her, to which she made no
reply whatever to him, thus ac
quiesing in hia statement.”
“Returning for a moment to the
protection theory, upon which Mrs.
Blackburn claims to have acted, had
the Col. wished protection did he
not have his brother here with his
family, and Also a cousin with whom
he had the sweetest relations ? He
could have taken her to them had
he been seeking protection for her.
Now may I take the liberty of
asking you, did the Colonel make
any promise of marriage to Miss
Pollard during the life time of his
late wife ? ’
“Never, in any form whatever.
Any statement to the contrary is
absolutely false in every particu ar
Do you believe that the C lonol
was the father of the three children
mentioned in this whole mattei ?
I do not. He wib not aware until
he heard the evidence in the court
the other day that any of the chil
dren had b_en born alive.”
How long was it between the
Blackburn conversation and the
Colonel’s marriage with his present
wife ?”
“The conversation occurred on
March the 31st, 1893, and his mar
riage took place on April the 29 Lh
1893”
Then he was eecredly married ?
Hare the hesitation for a moment,
when an affirmative answer wa
given.
“I will tell you all about it; he
was married to Mrs. Louise Wing,
at 7 o’clock on the evening of April
29, 1893, in the city of New York
by Mr. John R. Paxton at his home,
in the presence of Dr. Paxton’s
wife and his niece.”
What wa3 the cau3e of hiß
secret marriage ?
“Well, Mrs. Wing was then in
Washington, was not well, and ex
pected to go East, while the Colo
nel expected to go West, leaving it
unlikely that they should meet agaia
in months.”
“Referring to this feature, the
Colanel spoke to me as follows:
‘We were engaged to be married,
but she was extremely anxious to be
on sweet terms with my children
and to preserve the best relations
in a joint family, and the alternative
came between a postponement of
our marriage until Congress should
meet in December, or a private mar
riage and its subsequent announce
ment.’ Any other reports about
that marriage are all malicious fab
rication —absolutely false and con
cocted by those who have so lied on
him.”

DKR DISCUSSION.
Mr Gladstone’s Policy Concerning Ire
lana Will Not He Altered.
By Cable.
London, March 17. Copyright j
—Justin MeOarifty, Thomas Sexton
and Timothy Healy bad an extend
ed interview on the subject of Home
Rule with John Morley, chief secre
tary for Ireland, on Thursday, and
obtained from him once more a pre
cise statement of the Home Rule
poliay which the Rosebery ministry
intends to pursue. Murley informed
the Irish deputation that the policy
of the present government in regard
to Ireland was the policy of Mr.
Gladstone, which had nit been al
tered and would not be altered.
Home Rule, ho taid, was in the fore
front of the Liberal Parliament and
there was no intention to deviate
from the course widen had long ago
been marked cut.
The exact terms of Lord Rose
bery’s statement of policy continued
Morley, was agreed upon between
the new Premier and Mr. Gladstone,
who desired that all adverse criti
cism and speculation as to the
policy of the new Liberal ministry
should be met by aa explicit decla
ration reaffirming the principles of
the Liberal party under the former
leadership.
The interview between ihe Irißh
secretary and the leaders of the
liish party was entirely eatisfactoiy
on both sides.
The reports circulaied by the
Unionists that the government is
preparing for a dissolution of Par
liament in July, are based upon
their expectation that the House of
Lords will reject the registration
and evicted tenants bills, iu which
event the assumption ii that an ap
peal to the country will be precipi
tated. It is true, however, that the
plans of the Ministry point definitely
to a general election in 1895 unless
the registration bill shall he passed
in time to complete the new electoral
roll by autumn, in whioh case there
may be an election earlier.
The Duke of Devonshire, the
leader of the Unionists in the House
of Lords, has stated that the Peers
will insist upon a one-vote, one
value clause, implying such equali
zation of representation as will
abolish the anomaly of Ireland,
having 13U representatives in the
House of Commons, while London,
with a population about equal to
that of Ireland, has only 62 mem
bers. The only chance of the reg
istration biil passing the House of
Lords, therefore, lies in their ac
ceptance of part of the provisions
of the bill wnile rejecting the one
man one vote provision, which is
really the essence of the measure.
The government certainly intends
to try to prolong the session until
•September, but all sides recognize
the difficulties that beset the min
istry and are agreed that in a situa
tion so difficult, au appeal to the
country may come even earlier than
July.
Affairs In England.
By Cable.
London, March 17—[Copyright]
—The Unionist have decided to put
up candidates to oppose the return
of the ministers, whose change of
office in the ministry has necessi
tated their re-eieotion to Parlia
ment. The only exception made is
in the case of Herbert Gladstone,
who was returned yesterday without
opposition.
Wm. T. Stead, who has recently
returned from Chicago, talks copi
ously of his impression of America
with anybody who will take the
trouble to interview him for publi
cation. He is ready, he says, to
talk all day. He declares that his
“maiden tribute” was the boat pos
sible credential he could have
had to commend him to men and
women of ail sorts of conditions in
Chicago.
Upon purely English questions,
Mr. Stead Baid, the Americana toke
sides as abruptly as the English do
in discussing American politics.
The municipal boodle system in
America had engendered, in his
mind, a deep-rooted distrust of a
representative system of govern
ment, and his belief in univeigil
suffrage waa “played out.” “Amer
icans,” he said, “recognize that the
English lead the van of social pro
gress, and when you tell them about
t ie great municipal council in which
there is not a sirglo saloon keeper
or a member who takes money for
his vote, they look as if you were
describing the kingdom of heaven. ’
