THE GUARDSHIP QUESTION
Really Indicates tbe Strength of the
European Accord

Associated Press Special Wire.
LONDON, Dec. 7.—While it in true that
domestic politics bave been utterly ,dull,
the surprlsss uf tbe eastern question have
been followed in England with tbe must
intense Interest. Naturally Ibe main
point at issue io tbe east throughout the
week was the question whether toe sultan
would or would not grant the permits
necessary for th* extra guard ships re
quested by Great Britain,Russia,.Austria
and Italy to pass tne straits of Darda
nelles. Tbe interest taken in this extra
guarJ ship question is not so mncb due
to the fact tbat tbe powers consider it
necessary to bave additional protection
for foreigners within easy reach in tae
Bospborus, as it is to tbe knowledge tbat
it is rtally a test of European aooord. if
tbe powers back down, it will be a dem
onstration that the Turk was right in ba
ilor ing that the accord of Europe could
nut last for any length of time, and tbat
the sultan was holding out until tbe
eventual break occurred.
But should toe powers remain firm In
their determination to bave additional
guardsbips in the Hospnorus,it will clear
ly demonstrate tbat the accord of th*
powers is capable of withstanding a
stronger lest.
Tbe Britisb press naturally demands
that Europe should not raced« from the
position taken by tbe powers and tbat the
sultan should he forced to yield by tbe
pressure brought to bear upon him. The
authorities upon international law, how
ever.contend tbnt the sultan is technical
ly rlgbt in nis refusal to grunt tbe fir
mans demanded.
The carious statement he>s been made
here tbat ths Japanese government has
ordered 18,0(K) cheap watches from linns in
Switzerland witn tbe intention of pre
senting tbem instead of medals to tbe sol
diers wbo were engsged in tbe war
against Cuius.
The con*t newsmen bave continued
booming tbe departure of Prince Henry
of Baltenburg (husband of Princess Beat
rice) for tno gold, coast ot Africa, in or
der to take part in the" "Astrantee pio
*W-?*6- called. The nswspapers have
been printing details of the alleged spe
cial equipment ami of tbe luxuries which
ware to mark tbe prince's journey. All
tbis oalled Tor a good deal of ridicule
from >he radicals and others,until finally
tbe cry became so loud and prolonged
that there was a sudden and unexpected
change mad* in the program,and a semi
official statement was issued last night,
(hnt tbe prince is going to the gold coast
simply in the same capacity as tbe otber
officers of the British army who arc to
take part in tha expedition.
In spite of tbe smallness of tbe detach
ments sitpplie' to tbe expeditionary
corps by the various regiments, there lias
been a good deal of .difficulty in tindine
the men needed, and in some caees
oanusmen. signal corps men, and even
officer's servants bave been taken. Tbe
unpopularity of tbe expedition is due to
the fact that tbore Is aucb a mixture of
tbe forces and that they are commanded
by officers wbom they have not seen,
mucb less served under. It is admitted
that there is nut a single battalion in
England really tit for this service, and
therefore [the second battalion of the
Yorkshire regiment, now on Its way
borne from Aden, is to be transhipped
at Gibraltar and tha soldiers sent direct
to (Jape -Coast castle for Ashantee, in
Spite of lb* fact thut they have been
away from England for about fifteen
years. The whole trouble see us to be
due to tha sbort service system.
The B&thurst, with Princo Victor of
Scbles.wig-Holstcin on boor*, is already
well on her way to tbe coast, as is the
Angola, wbicb carried the lirst conting
ent of troops. Tbe Loanda nas also sailed
witb stores and some officers anil tbe
field hospital corps. Over 800 tons of war
mat rial und provisions, including thir
teen tons of cartridges and any amount
of amunition tor the mountain and
Maxim guns, together with a large sup
ply of war rockets, aro aire :dy on their
way to tbo gold coast.
Tbe troops aro to be armed almost ex
clusively with the Martini-Henry carbines
and the men forming the British or com
posite battalion have been selected with
a special view to Bending out tbe health
iest men procurable, tbe best shots and
tho heat marcher's of tbe army. Not more
than fiOO British troops, however, will he
eugeceJ, and it is believed that the en
tire expedition should not nupiber more
than' 150 m men. The great, addition to
his political power which the secretary of
state for the colonies, the lit.Hon. James
Chamberlain bas attaine.l is bothering
his enemies considerably. Mr. and Mrs.
Chamberlain are now visiting some of
the exclusive homes in England, and tbo
Hukeand Duchess of Devonshire will
vist tbem at Highbury next week.
Mr. and Mrs.' Chamberlain, with tbe
Marchioness of Salisbury and the Bt.
Hon. A. i, Balfour, the riret lord of tbe
troasttry, will be the guests of the Duke
and the Ducbess of Devonshire at Cnats
wprtb. Thursday last Mr.and Mrs. Ctiaro
bsrlaih w'erS invited to dinnerat W.'ndsor
D*»llevin ■ order to meet King Leopold of
Belgium, who is visiting Knplnnd witb
bis daughter. Princess Clementine.
The frequent visits wuH-h Mr. Cham
horlain bas already made to Windsor are
exciting the politicians. Two visits to
the queen in a week is only conferred, as
a rule, upon tbe premier. On* newspa-
Rar explains tbis mark of favor as due to
Ir. Chamberlain's having control of all
the terms of the Ashantee expedition,and
it is also said that it was lie wbo made
il possible for Prince Henry to take part
in it.: .:
According to rumor, an American lady

Talking with a representative of theAs

disorder marked the progress of the first

PROTECTION AND LOTS OF IT
Is Demanded by the National Wool
Growers' Association
A Minimum Duty ol Twelve Cents ■ Pound
Necessary te Save the Industry
From Ruin
WASHINGTON, Deo/T.-Tbe National
j Wool Growers' association today adopted
i tbe memorial to be presented to congress
| next Monday for tbe relief of tbe woolen
j industry. The document is a lengthy
one, drawn up oy President Lawrence
| of Ohio and a committee, and was finally
endorsed unanimously. The memorial
shows that since the McKiniey act of 18P0
was passed the prices of wool have de
clined in tbe markets of 'he world some
four per cent, and that tbis created tbe
necessity for protective duties which did
nut exist even wben the McKiniey act
was passed. It asserts tbat tbis act was
intended to give a duty or 11 cents per
pound on unwashed merino wool, double
on washed ana triple on scoured; that
tbo wool manufacturers succeeded in get
ting incorporated in tbe act of 1890 a pro
vision known as the "skirting clause,"
wbicb witb tbe shrinkage in tbe scour
ing of Australian wools, practically defies
the protective purposes uf the act of 1690,
so that the provisional duty of ll cents
per pound is equivalent to only U cents
on wasned Ohio merino, in competition
wttb Australian wool, and tbe duty of
tbe act of 1890 of S.i cents on scoured per
pound of merino wool affords a practical
protection of only 13,' i cents per pound.
Also that the importation ol China wool,
wbicb competes with merino wool and
wool of tbe mutton breed, was Imported
during, the last fiscal year to the amount
of St>,oUo,ooo pounds at an import price
of ii little over 0 cents per pound. Tbis
is said- lo be a new source of supply of
foreign wools since ;tue £ McKiniey act
was passed and American wool growers
cannot compete with that wool under the
present rato of duty. Th* memorial,
therefore, asks for a duty o.i merino
wools and wools of tbe mutton breeds of
sheep of Li cents per pound on unwashed,
double on washed aud triple on scoured,
tbas making but one class of those two
kinds of wool. It asks for a duty of 8
cents per pound on third class wools
without rofcrence to valuation. It de
clares that these rates of duty arc aoso
lutely necesssry to save the American
wool inuuatry from ruin. Tha memor
ial says that with ISO majority in tbe
bouse ol representatives in favor of pro
tection, It cannot escape the duty of
speedily giving consideration to tbis'sub
ject and quotes the paragraph of Presi
dent Cleveland's message in which he
says lie is ready to . o operate witb con
gress in providing a measure of relief
for the treasury.
Sixteen states were represented in tbe
association.
The memorial is signed by William
Lawrence, president; Prank P. Bennett
of tbe Boston Wool and Cotton Reporter;
A. E. Shepard of Texas; Calvin Cowgill
of Indiana, T. B. Catron of New Mexico;
B. L. Crouch of Texas; M. If, Greely ot

Harry Hayward Will Hang on
December 11
MURDERER OF MISS OINQ
The Criminal Showed No Sign of Break-
But Uttered Bitter Execretlons Against His
Brotber and Others Whose Testimony
Led to His Conviction
Associated Press Special Wire.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 7. - Governor
Clough this afternoon sentenced Harry
Hay ward, tnuiderer of Catherine Ging, to
be banged on Wednesday, December 11.
Hay ward beard tbe news of bis doom
from Sheriff Holmberg's lips. Tbe pris
oner evinced no signs of breaking down,
but on the other band,repeated the awful
execrations against his brother Adry,
wbiob have of late been tbe only indica
tion tbat lie appreciated tbe seriousness
of his position.
"Well, Harry," said tbe sheriff as be
approached Hay ward, "I've oome to tell
you tbat Ibo governor has signed your
deatb warrant and fixed it for next
Wednesday.
'That's a damned long time to wait
for a lailroad train,'' was the prisoner's
ejaculation.
"I." you're in tbe depot it's a long time,
said tbe sheriff, "but you're on tbe track
for eternity. You bave a good many
tbings to oonsider before Wednesday;
you bave little time left to stay here."
"I know that I bave little time," said
Harry. "There aro a few tbings I'd like
to straighten out and a few folks I'd like
to get even with. If I bad my brother
Adry here, and with tbat Harry stood
up and clenobed his fists and shook tbem
from side to side, "If I bald my brother
Adry here, I would take bis entrails
out and stretch them like a clothesline
back and forth through tbis cell.
"I'm not quite so mad at Bllxtas lolks
think, but if my father-? mother and
brother fDr. Hay ward) were dead, 1
would be tbe happiest man In tbe world."
"Well. Harry," tbe sheriff broke in,
"I see you have some sympathy left in
you yet."
"No," said Hawyard, "I bave not any
sympathy, but I feel where tbere ought
to he some."
Here Hay ward began to diotate a state
ment to Jailer West in regard to the jail
breaking episodes and other incidents of
bis jail life. ' V]
' Dr. Thaddeus May ward was found In
bis father's office- this afternoon where
the news of tho governor's action was
broken to bim. Tbe doctor said:
"Is it so? Have you the news?"
"Yes, it is so."
. "Well, then, it is the perpetuation of a
lis," said the doctor very quickly. "The
wnole idea of a man as Insane as Harry
could be legally guilty of tbe crime I
expected to see th* governor go down to
foundations of the case. I expected tbat
eometbing would come out iv the sanity
matter.
"Tbe Whole thing was so devilish and
the popular clamor for blood was so
fierce tbat I cannot say that lam sur
prised."
Harry iiay ward's statement, taken tbis
afternoon by Jailer West, is somewhat in
coherent and decidedly bloodthirsty. It
starts out:
"A short time is just as good as a lon
ger time,ano I am as ready now as I ever
shall be. I bad rather be hung than go
to Stillwater for life. If tbe governor
would come over beie and talk' witn me,
I would tell bim something. I've hid a
d—d good timd here, and I will bave a
good time yet I have no kick coming.
"They ought to go back to tbe old
times. I'eople are too sofl-bearted now.
If I had Adry here now 1 would pull
nis eves out and his heart out and nave
Blixt look on; then I'd cut them and
tbrow them to tbe dogs. I'm not made
of milk and water."
Turning to the sheriff at this point,
Hayward asked: "I have a right to in
vite three persons in to sec the hanging,
have 1 not?"
On being told thai be bad, he said:
"I'd have the Halton brothers, Bill
Cook and Cole Younger.and I'd give 'em
two good revolvers apiece."
The statement then takes tin the .nat
ter of the prisoner's projected escape.
The main portion of tbis recital is de
voted to roaating Ed Stevens, a local at
torney, who, llavward claims, acted tbo
part nf a friena in need and then played
him false. Hayward claims to bave paid
Slevens $4G r > and that Stevens failed to
perform wjat he had promised to do for
tbat sum.
MAY BE A MISTAKE
Democrats Win a Kentucky Election-Black

won out today In the special eleetton in
the forty-eighth legislative district, send,
ing A. J. Carroll to tbo legislature-by a
majority of 408 votes ovor Charles A.
Blades, the Republican nominee. As a
result tbe Kentucky legislature is a tie
on joint ballot, and balloting for I'nited
States senator to succeed senator Black
burn is likely to result in a deadlock.
On joint ballot the Republicans and
Democrats will have sixtv-elght votes
each and tbe Popuilats two, and it is
pretty well assured that tbe Populist vote
will split.
The election was a hotly contested one.
Car.oll had refused his certilicato after
tbe November election because of the
secret withdrawal of Shrieve, tbo Repub
lican candidate. Carroll, who is an ex
speaker of the house, declared he could
not acoept an election carrying witb it
the leat suspicion of fraud and demanded
a special election.

--■WASHINGTON, Deo. 7.—The reply of
Lord Salisbury to Secretary Olney's note
of instructions to Ambassador Bayard
relative to the Venezuela boundary dis
pute was delivered to Secretary Olney at
noon today. Sir Julian Pauncefote pre
sented the note in person, reading its
contents to Mr. Olney, as is tne custom
when important documents are pre
sented. For some reason tbe state de
partment officials took steps to prevent
tbo fact that the note bad been delivered
from gaining publicity, hut without
avail. At the British embassy there was
tbe same indisposition to give any pub
licity to the proceedings. All inquiry as
to the natrro of tbe note failed to secure
responses from nnv of the officials, and
i*. will probably be preserved an official
secret so far as Washington authorities
are concerned until the prjsident, upon
his return, has bad opportunity to con

known that tbe note is on the general
lines indicated in Associated Press dis

A Chance for Charity«=Herald Facts
Vs. Times Falsehoods
The Los Angeles Times yesterday, in a contemptible editorial
effort to discredit the good faith of The Herald in affording the Free
Kindergarten Association of this city a Thanksgiving benefit,
publishes the following:
" The Herald management, instead of permitting the proceeds of such
increased charges, over and above tbe reeular rates, to co wholly to the ladies
of the Free. Kindergarten, who conducted the publishing enterprise—which
course would have been the just, proper and 'liberal' one for the Herald to
pursue—proceeded to gatner in 50 per cent of tbo moneys contributed uy its
advertisers tor a public charity."
" The Herald squirms and seoks to throw raspnnsibilfty upon the shoul
ders of thr ladies which it should itself assume. It ts not the ladies, but
Tbe Herald, that the Times 'calls to task roundly for getting higher adver
tising rates,' under cover of a charitable appeal to the public, than its usiisl
rates—and then olaiming half the prooeeris from the lady managers of the
charity—a proceeding which must have given The Herald at least double its
usual rates for current advertising."
In the foregoing three lying and malicous statements are made:
First, that the "Herald management" raised the rates for advertis
ing space in the Thanksgiving edition; second, that The Herald
claimed half the proceeds of the edition from the lady managers of
the charity that benefited by the number, "a proceeding that must
have given The Herald at least double its usual rates for current
advertising"; third, that The Herald " proceeded to gather in 50
per cent, of the moneys contributed by its advertisers for a public
charity."
The Herald's replies to these fabrications are: First, that the
Herald did not establish the advertising rates for the Thanks*
giving number; whatever price was asked for space in that num
ber was fixed by the ladies who represented the charity to be
aided, and the advertisements that were obtained specially for
that edition were procured in the main by the ladies interested ; of
these facts the Times is perfectly aware; second, The Herald did
not at any time claim half ths proceeds of the edition ; third, The
Herald has not " proceeded to gather in 50 per cent, of the money
contributed by advertisers for a public charity," but, on the con
trary, The Herald is prepared and has D een since the amount was
ascertained to pay to the ladies who gave so liberally of their
time, services and enthusiasm, the net profits of the edition, de
ducting only from the gross proceeds the actual cost of the edition
to the Herald Publishing Company.
The Herald is prepared to back its assertion that the Times'
allegations as noted are false and that the replies thereto are
truthful, with Herald money.
The Herald Publishing Company will deposit tomorrow, Mon
day, in the First National Bank of Los Angeles, $1000 in gold coin
of the United States, to be forfeited to th: Free Kindergarten
Association if it be shown by an investigation conducted by three
bankers of this city—The Herald to select one, the Times another,
and the two thus selected to choose the third—that The Herald
has lied and the Times has told the truth. This proposition is, of
course, contingent on the Times depositing in bank an equal
