' ”You built a sea wall 100 feet long?" ”I don’t knew how long it is. ” "There is a fine boathouse there?" “Yes, sir. " “And a summer houSe?” ”No, sir.” “How many houses. have you on you. domain?” , ” Three.” How Kind Fliess Was. “Did you ever cut coupons?” ”No, sir.” “But you had a nice little income 0 $7, 000 or $8. 000 a year while you were 11- " the Tenderlion?” ,. ”No, sir. I did not.” “ You received money outside of you: salary, didn’t you?” ”Yes, but not from the precinct. ” “ Where did you get it?” “I received 85,000 or $6, 000 from specu lation in stocks from Fliess & Hay of 4’4 Broadway.” “ Fliess was your broker?” “Yes.

Whisky business?” “Yes, sir,” replied Williams. ”I had a conversation with him about that time. It may have been in the Gilsey House, as) saw him there often. He offered to give me a share in the profits of a. stock trans action that he was going into. ” The inspector said that Fliess had pair. him money on these stock transactions a number of times. He received the money in sums of 8400 or $500. , "That was a nice cover for receiving cor ruption money, wasn’t it?” “No. It was a regular stock transac tion. Fliess told me. ” “ But you didn’t put anything in?” “No. ” “Do you think that was a proper trans action for a police ofiicial to engage in ?” “I thought it was all right.

Streep in his examination before the chow committee yesterday in New York, charging Anthony Conistook with accept- in g bribes, was received at the White House last July. The president, however, never saw it personally, but as it came as part of an application for- pardon it was referred on July 15 last to the department of jus- tice, where such cases are made up for final consideration of the president.

CAN IVE RETALIATE? Mr. Foster Says Not~A State Department Man Thinks \Ve Can. WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.—The attention of one of the state department secretaries was called today to the reported utterance of (ix-Secretary of State John W. Foster concerning this government‘s intention to retaliate against Spain under the act of Aug. 30, 1890. Mr. Foster is reported to have declai ed it impossible for the govern- ment to do anything under that act, be- cause it had been, he said. repealed with the McKinley act. “We see nothing for Mr. Foster to base such a declaration on. ” the secretary re- ferred to said. “The Me .(inley act passed on Oct. 3 1890. The act under which we propose To operate passed Aug. 30, 1890. Nothing I know of has been done to repeal this last act. Therefore we may presume it to be still in operation.” “What about the reported purpose of the government to act under the old Merrill tariff act paragraph, which still stands, and which imposes a. duty of 10 per cent in addition to all other duties upon goods brought into the United States in ships of foreign countries unless they are expressly relieved from the additional duty by treaty?” “ That report emanated from the treas- ury department. I know of no such in- tention on the part. of this government. If an act, it will Undoubtedly be under the law passed Aug.30, 1890. ” WOMEN MURDERERS. Two Shot Dead After Having Killed 13 Neighbor. ROBELINE, La... Dec. 29.—A rumor is current here of a triple murder, all women, which occurred in a dark corner of Vernon parish. So far it has been impossible to learn the names of any of the parties. Two neighbors persuaded a. third neighbor, who they supposed had money in his house, to go with them possum hunting. In the meantime the other two men had arranged with their wives to put on men’ s clothing, blackcn their faces and go and kill the wife of the man who was supposed to have money while he was out hunting After he was gone a peddler was granted per- mission by the wife to stay all night. Lat- er on the peddler heard cries of murder in the adjoining room. He rushed in, after breaking down the door, with pistol in hand. He killed both the women dis— guised as negro men, and they in turn had killed the other woman. The peddler left and brought in the first persons he could find. They were aston ished to find the supposed dead negroes to- be two white women. Lippert Owns Up. NEW YORK, Dec. 29. —Wilhelm A. Lip pert, alias W. A.

FOSTER. Ridiculous Mis‘ onception of the Nature of His IIIIssion—Rumor That United States Has Demanded an Ex- planation 1“er China. LONDON, Dec. 29.—The Westminster Gazette this afternoon says: “It is generally believed that America took more than a kindly concern in the af- fairs of Korea. The envoy of the United States was once high in Korean favor. Then China was jealous, and that China now seeks the aid of the United States is one of those curious transformations of these times of whirligig. England and all the powers welcome the news of Presi- dent Cleveland’s prompt response to Chi- na’s appeal. . Mr. Foster’s presence at Tokyo should aid greatly the chances of a speedy settlement.” The comment of the Westminster Ga- zette refers to the announcement that Mr. John W. Foster. formerly secretary of state, has been requested by the Chinese government to gate Japan and meet the plenipotentiaries of the former government in order to aid them in negotiations for peace. Mr. Foster, as announced, has ac- cepted the invitation and expects to leave Washington within a day or two, sailing from Vancouver for Yokohama on Jan. 7, unless there "is some delay in the departure of the Chinese peace commissioners. No Delay Anticipated. It does not seem probable that there will ,be any delay in this matter, as Peace Com- missioner Chang-Yin-Huan has left Tie'n- tsin for Chefu and is expected at Shang- hai on Jan. 6 on his way to Tokyo. But. as intimated, Japan may not consent to receive the second Chinese peace commis~ sioner. Shac-Yao—Lien, on account of the fact that when governor of Formosa he offered rewards for Japanese heads. But the Westminster Gazette would seem to be somewhat in error asto the ac- tual facts in the case. Mr. Foster has not been appointed as a peace commissioner by President Cleveland. Mr. Foster desires it to be understood that he goes to Japan purely in a private capacity as an adviser of the Chinese pienipotentiai' me. He has no authority to represent or speak for the government of the United States. An Explanation Demanded. A dispatch to the Central News from Shanghai says tin. ‘ the United States gov- ernment has instigated Minister Dcnby to ' demand satisfaction from the Chinese gov- ernment for having violated the promise given in regard to the surrender of Japa- nese spies at Shanghai. A dispatch from Peking to the Central News says the gov- ernor of Shangtung recently forwarded to the emperor a numerial praying for- the punishment of Admiral Ting. the Tactai Kung and General “0111] consequence of this petition a new edict has been issued from the thrc .10 ordering the immediate arrest and punishment of these officials. China’s Peace Negotiations. SHANGHAI, Dec. 29,—Pcace Commis- sioner Chang-Yin—Huan has left Tien-tsin for Chefu and is expo-sled here on Jan. 6, when he will join Peace Commissioner Shao- Yao-L—ien and go to Tokyo. Chang- Yin- Ilunn is president of the board of revenue, a member of the Tsung- li- Yemen and was Chinese minister to Washington a. few years ago. Shae-Yao- Lien is acting governor of the Chinese province of H van. He was formerly gov- ernor of 1: 01-1- ..1osa and while occupying that post he offered a reward of about $10, 000 for the destruction of a big Japa- nese warship. For the destruction or cap- ture of a small warship of Japan he offered about $6, 000. But, not content with this, . he offered a further schedule of rewards tc be paid to the Chinese who took Japanese soldiers or sailors, dead or alive. For the head of a. Japanese ofiicer 200 tools were offered, and for the head of a Japanese private 100 tools were the reward. On this ground, it has been asserted, the Japanese govermnent would refuse to receive Shac- Yao-Lien as a peace commissioner. _ A Rumor Denied. PARIS, Dec. 28.—The secretary of the Japanese legation here, M. Kate Tsuneta- da, says that there is no truth in the an- nouncement, credited to the Shanghai Mer- cury on Dec. 24, that the chief conditions of peace upon which Japan insists are the close of a China-Japan alliance against European influence, the development 01 Chinese trade and commerce by Japan, and Japan to undertake the effective reorgan ization of the Chinese army and navy.
