tariff reduction. The horizontal plan
that he'proposed some years ago, he
says, is “improbable and would be no:
rise” at this time, whatever it may
have been then ; nOr can there be afiy
material reduction on any lines so long
as the Government has to depend on
its customs revenues for support. Col.
Morrison also predicts that a tax of
some sort will be re-imposed on sugar.
In other words, the burdens under which
the people have been groaning so long
_ and from which the Democratic party
' has repeatedly given solemn pledges
to relieve them, will not only have to
be borne for an indefinite period yet,
but in all likelihood will have to be in-
creased.
It isin this direction that the logic
of the situation appears to point. The
burden of supporting the Government
cannot be evaded, and the burden is
bound to become heavier so long as
the expenses of the Government, in.-
stead of being retrenched, grow larger
year by year.
Thus the dream of free trade goes
glimmering out of sight, and the bur-
dens of tariff taxation loom more por-
tentously than ever. The luxury of
being abillion dollar country has got
to be paid for and a tariff for revenue
only has come to mean a higher tariff
and more of it.

Daniel McCready, who was arrested
Saturday night charged with having set
all the recent incendiary fires in Dau-

of the police court. The evidence
against McCready was entirely of a cir-

Cready partly proved ,an alibi which
fact taken into the weak case made out

“THE KIND THAT CURES. ”
Russell Knocked Out.
The fight for a purse of $1,000 be-
is ante-mortem or post-mortem.
The coroner heard only four witness?
es as the authorities had provided no
suitable room and the hearing had to
be adjourned until to-day.
Andrew Anderson, a friend of the
dead man, told of the last time he saw
him. He could establish the date no
nearer than a Saturday in November
when the Witness and Petersen entered
the La Croix saloon in Westport and
drank together. Anderson then entered
a carriage with a blacksmith named
Hart and drove to Saugatuck, leaving
Petersen behind.
Hart corroborated this testimony.
Both men agreed in saying that Peter-
sen was not exactly sober, but would
.not say he was drunk.
Alexander Johnson was next heard.
He is also a Swede. He lives at Sauga-
tuck, but works in Bridgeport. He is
the man to whom suspicion points, if
anybody. His attitude during the ex-
amination, however, was perfectly frank
and his manner unconcerned and such
as to cast discredit upon the accusations
freely uttered by the people of West-
port. Johnson said that he and Peter~
sen were friends and that his wife and
Petersen’s wife frequently visited each
other. He denied that he had ever
quarreled with Petersen or expressed
disapprobation with the man’s atten-
tions to his wife. The last time he saw
Petersen was in September and he did
not hear of his disappearance until
Thanksgiving day.
Carrie Nelson was the last witness
and said: “Johnson told me that he
had heard that Petersen was coming to
see his wife and said : ‘If that is so I’ll
fight him.” The remark was made at
the witness’ house before Petersen dis-
appeared. Its force is perhaps lessened
by the statement of the witness, Mrs.
Nelson, that She was not on good terms
with Mrs. Johnson.
Westport mouths are full of threats
alleged to have been uttered by J ohn-
son against Petersen, but the above is
the only one that has materialized.
There are still important witnesses to
to be examined who may throw some
light upon an otherwise dark case.
Among those will be Mrs. Johnson,
her mother and two children, Mrs.
Petersen, the girl who saw a body float-
ing on the Saugatuck river before
Petersen’s body was found, and a young
man who is alleged to have had his
attention‘ attracted to a dispute in the
were gaily decorated in the American and
papal colors. On arriving at the college
the distinguished party passed between
two lines of students drawn up to receive

Archbishop Satolli was tendered a. sere
made last evening by the college band.
The building and terraces were beauti-
fully illuminated in his honor. The arch-
bishop will remain at the college several
days. He will be present at a. theological
disputation which is to be given by the
members of the seminary and also phila-
sophical dispute to be given by the mem-
bers of the graduating class. The arch
bishop will deliver a few lectures on theo-
logy and philosophy during his stay.
Davitt bIay be Forced Out.
LONDON, April 18.‘—Pierce Mahony, who
contested with Michael Davitt unsuccess-
fully the constituency of North Meath at
the last general election and subsequently
caused him to be unseated, has had a.
notice in bankruptcy served upon Mr.
Diivitt for costs of $9,000 incidental to the
hearing in the courts of the petition
against his return to parliament. Mr.
Davitt declares that the Mahony clique
might cause all his property to be seized.
In such an event. he would become bank-
i-i: pt, and would be obliged to resign from
parliament. . ‘

WASHINGTON, April 18.—-The Western
Union Telegraph company has succeeded <
in getting a rehearing from the supreme
court of the United States of its case
against the city of St. Louis decided in
favor of the city some weeks ago. Under
this decision it was held that the city
could lawfully charge - the telegraph com-
pany an annual tax on each pole within

since the decision was rendered, had taken
steps towards charging the company $64.

that she believed him to be concealed

be a fact well understood in Westport
that Petersen and Mrs. Johnson were

accusers. He has never objected par-
ticularly to the intrigues alleged against
his wife, however, and at one time of-
fered no opposition to a divorce she
sought against him. He has also been
in the habit of staying from his home
for considerable intervals and has

“THE KIND THAT CURES.”
—-—<—o—
Lieut. Col. Crowe was Wrong.
In a letter to Capt. Burpee of Co. K,
C. N. G., Bridgeport, Adjutant Gener-
al Bradley reverses the decision of
Lieut. Col. Crowe In the Burpee-Grant
case which was tried at Bridgeport a
short time ago. It Will be remembered
that Musician Grant refused to obey
an order of Capt. 'Burpee’s at Go. K’s
ball and that the latter had him court
martialed. Lieut. Col. Crowe conduc-
ted the trial and exonerated Grant.
Capt. Burpee‘ thought the decxsion an
unjust one and in order to justify his
action he asked for General Bradley’s
opinion. In his letter the general says,
that enlisted men and subordinate offi-
cers are at all times when at the arm-
ory subject to the orders of the super-
ior officers. It matters not for what
purpose the man is at the armory,
while there he must obey orders. It
was thought at the time of the affair
that Capt. Burpee had overstepped his
authority as it was a social gathering
where the order was given. Lieut._
Col. Crowe based his decision on this
- fact. .He decided that the captain had
no right to issue orders on such an oc-
casion.
The decision of Gen. Bradley proves
that Capt. Burpee .did not exceed his
powers. ‘ He applied for the decision
of Gen. Bradley to sustain the position
he‘had taken not to "make more trouble
for ' Musician ~~Grant. N ow that he 15
Petersen a Saturday in Nov.” but Mrs.
Petersen fixes the date and says it was
Saturday, Nov. 12. Johnson has said
that the last time he saw Petersen was
in September. It it alleged that a. wit-
ness whom the coroner will see is one
who will say that he saw Johnson,
Petersen and two Swedes from Bridge.
port, together at the Johnson house
the next day. If this is true the out-
look of the case might be somewhat
different. ‘
Even then it does not follow that
Johnson is the guilty man, for it isthe
general Opinion that the deed might
have been perpertrated by any, of the-
party during a drunken carousal in
which connection it is asserted that a
man whose name is withheld will tes-
tify to hearing a tumult near. the house
on that night. On the whole it seems as
probable that Petersen fell Into the
river in a drunken stupor and was
drowned as that he was murdered and
thrown in. The Johnson house is a.
considerable distance from the Sangu-
tuc‘k river-and the path to the river is
not atall lonely. ' A point cited on this
side of the‘case is that a‘ body was seen
floating in the water .fully three miles
above the point of the river opposite
the house. _
Old residents, however, say that the
remains of dead dogs are frequently
borne up and down the river upon the
ingoiug and outgoing tides for a long
time before being cast ashore ,and say-
that Petersen’s body-might have been
been discovered at Sherman. Six officers
were to be assassinated at some date in
the near future by friends of Carlisle Lut-
trell, Smith and Hunt, all of whom are
murderers sentencedto hang. The affair
has created the Wildest excitement.
