AT THE CAPITAL. The Ballot-Box Investigation Continued. MR. FORAKER LOSES BIS TEMPER Senator Edmunds in High Dudgeon. The North Dakota Lottery Scheme Deplored. i Associated Press Dispatches to The Herald. Washington, February 7.—Houa committee on the Ohio ballot-box forgery resumed session this morning. James E. Neal, chairman of the State Demo cratic executive committee; John R. McLean, proprietor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, and J. C. Campbell, brother of Governor Campbell, testified without de veloping anything of special interest. McLean said he never saw the forged paper till today, and was never inter ested in the Ballot-box bill. T. C. Campbell told of the introduc tion of the Wood ballot-box in Cincin nati ; the organization of a company in 1887; the passage of the New Jersey Bal lot'box bill, etc. Witness applied to Representative Grosvenor. and the lat ter made tho point that a Democrat should be selected to introduce tbe bill in the House. Witness then applied to Representative Campbell, who introduced the bill. He denied the assertions of Hadden and Wood, and said he never had a list of Congressmen made by himself or any one else. Witness first supposed Gover nor Foraker waa behind the whole mat ter, but had now coma to the conclusion that Hadden was the prime mover. He added that he didn't think Foraker kr.ew Wood committed the forgery, but thought him remits in not finding out. .Representative Butterworth denkd broadly knowing anything about the con tract or forged paper before the publica tion. In the course of hia remarks he said he wished to make an answer to the question asked by Turner as to whether there was any friction between himself and Governor Foraker. He did not want it to be understood that they were on terms of affectionate endearment. During the campaign they had criticised each other and were not on such affec tionate terms as to be in constant com munication. As to the Chicago conven tion, that was a matter between Senator Sherman and Governor Foraker. This evidently angered Foraker, who exclaimed : "So far as tho Chicago con vention is concerned, I am prepared to meet what anybody may say with the aid of a few letters I have. Ido not propose to be aspersed here, or any where else about Chicago. I have heard all I want, to hear of it hero and in Ohio. By the beat men in the Republi can party, I can refute any aspersions that any man can make, and I have heard this thing for the last time without resenting it. I owe no anology to anybody except myself in that I have not more actively defended myself against such accusa tions." The chairman restored good humor by saving he hoped no one would mention Chicago again except in connection with the World's Fair. NUHTH U/tKOTA LOrTEBT. Tlie Scheme Causes much Indlgna tlou In Uovrrnment Circles. Washington, February 7. — News of the passage by one branch of the North Dakota Legislature of a bill chartering and legalizing a lottery, attracted much attention in official circles, especially in view of the telegraphic advices that the action is in behalf of a branch of the Louieiana Lottery Company, sgainat which the Posttflico Department and Department of Justice have been waging a conte&t for many years. At the White House it is intimated that reports have reached the President that persons who have been appointed to office, or were candidates for appointment, were pro moting this legislation, and it was added that should this prove to be the case, it is likely to prove fatal to them. A further remark was to the effect that it was not believed possible that the new State would adopt a moaaure that would put so indelible a stain upon its reputa tion. Postmaster-General Wanamaker said : "As Postmaster-General T cannot be interviewed upou the eubjact, except to expresß my regret that the mails or any machinery of the Government should be used to any extent in any part of the country for the furtherance of lottery schemes, but as a citizen I am free to say that it is cause for great alarm when a new State proposes to spread this evil over the country, and increase thie species of gambling that ruins tbe young and deludes the ignorant for the enrichment of a few unscrupulous stockholders. If this kind of legislation is to be a success, Congress must be en voked to enact laws to suppress this iniquitous business everywhere." "I was astonished beyond measure," said Attorney-General Miller this after noon. "I had hoped and believed tbe day for charteriog lotteries had gone by. That the Louisiana State Lottery, for in stance is a public evil, I think is gen erally conceded, and I as little expected the Legislature of North Dakota to sanction a lottery as that the Legislature of Massachusetts would legalize po lygamy." THE AMERICAN HOG. secretary RhiK Interested ln (Send. ing Him Abroad. Washington, February 7.—Secretary Rusk recently made an urgent remon strance through Secretary Blame against the imposition by the Mexican Govern ment of irksome quarantine regulations in regard to American hogs. _ Today a telegram was received-from United States Minister Ryan, stating that the Govern ment of Mexico will issue orders discon tinuing the obnoxious rules. Secretary Rusk ia much gratified at the removal of this restriction, and regards it as being possibly the forerunner of a more liberal policy in regard to American meat pro ducts on the part of foreign countries, and a change of policy which he thinks would be facilitated Bhould Congress con fer upon him fall powers in the matter of meat inspection. EUIfIDNDNiS BANDER VP. He Charges John Sherman Vtlsli Keeping Had Faith. Chicago, Febiuary 7.—A special from Washington says: Senator Edmunds caused a sensation in the executive session yesterday. He charged John Sherman with bad faith, and made the charge the ground for resigning from the foreign affairs committee. Last Tuesday, after the treaty had been ratified, Ed munds put in a resolution declaring that under it none of the rights of the United States under the treaty of 1878, which gave the United States a coaling station THE LOS ANGELES DAILY HERALD: SATURDAY MORJVING, FEBRUARY 8 t 1890 at Pago-Pago, were impaired. This was argued at length and rejected. This angered Edmunds, who claimed that it had been agreed in committee that if Edmunds would not oppose the ratifica tion of the treaty, his resolution should be passed. He brought the matter up in executive session and charged Sherman with trickery in the matter. Sherman replied that it was agreed in tbe com mittee that Edmunds might present bis resolution, but it was not agreed that it should be adopted. Sherman was corroborated by Frye and other members of the committee. The Senate refused to reconsider the ratifica tion of the treaty, and Edmunds ten dered his resignation as a member of the committee. His resignation was de clared out of order in executive session, and Edmunds left the chamber in anger. ' CONttBESeIONAL DOINGS. The House After Boutlne Business Adjourns THI Monday. Washington, February 7.—The House transacted only routine business today and adjourned until Monday. After prayer the Speaker stated that the journal clerk had been busy in pre paring the new code of rules for publica tion, and that consequently the journal of yesterday's proceedings was not ready to be presented to the House, but would be ready subsequently. Therefore the usual contest over the approval of the journal did not take place. A bill was introduced in the House to day for a public building at Butte, Mon tana. It appropriates $100,000. The House committee on elections this morning heard arguments in the Bowon- Buchanan contest, from the Ninth Vir ginia district. The House committee on merchant marine and fisheries continued hear ings on the bill to grant subsidies to American shippers. James W. Montgomery, of Port land, Oregon, made a statement in favor of the payment of subsidies. He said the amount of foreign commerce on the Pacific Coast was very large, and growing constantly, and every ton was exported in British bottoms. Randall passed a comfortable night, and was better this morning than for some time. A Gigantic Labor Trust. Boston, February 7.—A morning paper stated, apparently on authority ot the leaders in the movement, that there will be organized, previous to the eight hour movement of May Ist, a gigantic labor financial alliance within the ranks of the American Federation of Labor. It is proposed to accumulate a joint-stock fund of at least $260,000 before May 30th, to be placed at the disposal of any trade wbo&e craftsmen go on a strike or are locked out. Uorclng Democratic Senators. Helena, Mont., February 7. —The Senate adopted resolutions requiring all Senators, including the Democrats who are absenting themselves to block legis lation, to be present February 8:h and 10th, under penalties ranging from $50 for the first day's absence to $1,000 for the sixth. Tbe Sheriffs throughout the State have also been instructed to arrest absentees. Senator Beckler, of Dawson county, has already been arrested at Glendive. The Lenox Hill Bank. New York, February 7. —The follow ing notice was on the door of the Lenox Hill Bank this morning: "To Depositors—Your affairs are in such shape that the bank will probably open today." "Covell, Examiner." Coveh said thia morning that he had in his possession $398,000 of canceled liabilities.

Pitcher's GENERAL TOPICS. Rev. Dr. Ball's Libel Suit Falls Through. CORRESPONDENCE FROM SIBERIA An Alleg-ed Error in Sentencing the Chicago Anarchists. Other Items. Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald.J Buffalo, N. V., February 7.— Judge Daniels charged the jury this morning in the suit of Rev. Dr. Ball against the New York Evening Post. The judge read the articles upon which the actions were based. Ball.be said, had a right to investigate the character of Mr. Cleveland if he saw fit to do so, and it was for the jury to determine whether such investigation warranted the Post in saying or insinuating that he was a "guttersnipe." If Ball libeled Cleve land that was no justification for the Post to libel the plaintiff, supposing it had done so. Further, if the articles were actuated by malice and intended to injure plaintiff, the jury would be jus tified in finding a verdict for the plain tiff, and one that would be a punishment acd an example. Attention was called to the fact that when a man comes out with a public charge he becomes to a certain extent a public character, and open to criticism. The jury retired, but soon returned with the verdict: "No cause of action," thus defeating Rev. Mr. Ball. RUSSIA'S SHAME. Proof of the Recent Massacre of Exiles lv Siberia. Chicago, February 7 —George Kennan has given to the Associated Press a of the voluminous correspon dence lately received by him, relating to the massacre of Russian administrative exiles at Yakutsk on April 3d last, the occurrence of which has hitherto been strenuously denied by the Russian Gov ernment. One of these letters, written by a survivor of the affair, ia sixty-one ps»ges in length, and sets forth with great exactness of detail every particular of the massacre and the events leading up ta and immediately preceding and suc ceeding it. Kennan declared the com munications to be of the mostjimpartial character, and even impassioned in tone, and said they were to be thoroughly relied on; but he withheld the names of the correspondents, as the publication of their names would involve them in trouble with the Russian ad ministration. The story of Kennan's correspondent agrees in many particulars with the ac count published in the London Times, but gives in addition many details hitherto unknown, and the language of the writer is at times most graphic. "I consider this information re eived from Russia," said Kennan, "so minute and circumstantial in every detail, knowing the reliability of its source, to be a complete and conclusive answer to the recent denials of the Russian Govetnment. William Tallert, president, of the great Howard association of England, says every effort will be made to bring this matter before tbe International Prison Congress, which will meet in St. Peters burg "If the Russian Government will per mit it and is ready to meet the issue, I will uudertake to prove before the Prison Congress every charge that I have ar rayed against it in my articles published in the "Century," or which have otherwise been brought forward by me in subftantiation of these charges, if they will allow me to bring my witnesses from Siberia, and I will defray the whole expense of such proceedings." A WHIT OF ERKOB. The Chlcaso Anarchists Said to Be Illegally Sentenced. Springfield, 111., February 7. —The State Supreme Court granted a writ of error to the United States Supreme Court ing the cases of Niebe, Fieldon and Schwab, the Anarchists now in the State penitentiary, on the claim that the prisoners were deprived of their consti tutional rights by not being permitted to be present when the court passed sen tence upon them. This is a point not heretofore decided by the Federal Su preme Court, and if sustained, will not only release theso Anarchists, but will in effect say that Spies, Parsons and others were illegally strangled, and will liberate many other convicts in prison. Leading lawyers are of the opinion that this move can be of no benefit to the imprisoned Anarchists in any case, and may make it worse for them. There is no claim of error in the lower court, and if the point is sustained by the Federal Supreme Court, it will result in the reaffirmation of the original sentence. This was that they be hanged, and they would have to suffer that penalty unless the Governor should again interfere, as did the former Governor, and commute their sentence to imprisonment. States Attorney Longenecker, talking of the case today, said: "Should the United States Supreme Court find that the State Supreme Court erred in not having the prisoners present, it will simply remand the case to the State Su preme Court for rehearing. The State Supreme Court will then have tho pris oners brought before the bar whiie the case ia being reviewed. When the re view is completed the court will confirm the sentence pronounced by Judge Gary. But there is not in my mind the slight est probability of the United States Su preme Court finding that the Stats Su preme Court erred. The whole thing is the most ridiculous move ever heard of."
