DEBS’HAIIEINCORPUS. “Vlilirgument In the New Famous Case Was Begun In Washington. THE PRINCIPAL CONTENTION labor Leader Debs’ Counsel Assert That His Conviction Was Void Because His Alleged Offense Is Not Provided For In Chancery Practice. WASHINGTON, March 26.—-The United States supreme court today began the hearing of argfiment in the case of Eugene V. Debs, president of the American Rail— way union; and others who participated with him in the Chicago strike of the summer of 1894. The knowledge that the case was to come up did not attract so large an attendance of distinguished peo- ple as were present in the courtroom when the income tax cases were being presented. . but the'attendance, especially outside the ” bar, was considerably in excess of that on , ,ordinary days and was greater than could ’ be accommodated with seats. It is notice~ able that those who were there gave very The defendants, headed by Hon. Lyman Trum- bull and including Messrs. S. S. Gregory and C. S. Darrow. Attorney General 01- ney, Assistant Attorney General Whitney and'Mr. Edwin Walker, special assistant attorney general, appeared for the govern- ment. The early proceedings in the case today developed that while the argument would be extended the question at issue was not complex. Debs and his associates ask for writs of habeas corpus relieving them from the sentence of imprisonment passed upon them by Judge Woods of the United States circuit court for the North- ern district of Illinois in December last, ‘on the charge of contempt in failing to obey the injunction of the court requir- ing them to desist from interference with the interstate transportation of the mails 01' passengers or freight, and also from pre- venting employees of the railroads con- earned in transacting their business. Petitioners’ Main Contention. The fact was soon developed that the main contention of the petitioners would be that the original bill stated no case cog- nizable in chancery, and that therefore the injunction was void and that the per- sons at whom it was aimed Were not bound to observe it. In support of this proposi- tion they asserted that without statutory authority from congress the government could maintain no such bill, and that no such authority could be found, unless it be in the act of 1890, known as the Sher- man antitrust act. But they contended that this act was not applicable, or that, if it was applicable, section , 4 of it, authorizing such proceedings, was uncon- stitutional because in providing for pro- ceedings in chancery in such a case it de- prived defendants on trial under a penal statute of the right of trial by jury, con- trary to” the sixth amendment of the con- stitution. It was 12:40 when the case was called and Mr. Trumbull addressed the court in support .of a motion made by him- self that three counsel be heard in behalf of the petitioners and that they be allowed I three hours for the presentation of that side of the case. The motion was granted, Spend three hours allowed on each side. Mr. Trumbull then proceeded with his . argument on the merits of the case, out- :;3' ‘z‘liningthe points as above set forth. It had .,-,been a long while since Mr. Trumbull ap- peared in court, but he was recognized im- ,.mediately, and there were many favorable Acomments upon his hale and venerable ap- pearance. He spoke without notes and _f confined himself closely to the facts and ar- guments set forth in the brief of the peti- tioners. At the conclusion of Mr. Trumbull’s address court adjourned.

Its Organization Is Being Watched With Great Interest. FOREIGN MINISTERS TO GO. Only Three of Her Representatives “Fill Be Retained—Changes Also to Be- Made In Cuba—Great Britain and the Blueflelds Muddle. ' WASHINGTON. March 26.—The organiza- tion today of the new Spanish ministry is being watched with interest by officials and diplomats here, owing to the direct and speedy efi'ect it will have on afiairs between the United States and Spain. 'Offieial advices received here state that every member of it is Conservative. This is directly contrary to cable reports saying that five of the new ministers are Liberal. The effect of this will be far more sweep- ing in the change of officers, including foreign ministers, and 'the adoption of a new policy on foreign and domestic afi‘airs. It is known that the entire diplomatic service of Spain, with three exceptions, will be changed. The exceptions will be the embassies at Berlin. St. Petersburg and the Vatican. These three ambassadors have occupied the anomalous position of being Conservatives in office during a Liberal administration, just as a few of President Harrison’s diplomatic appoint— 963 have held over during the present ad- ministration. Thc Spanish diplomats serving in Great Britain, Austria, France, Italy and other leading places, including of course the United States, are Liberals and are certain to tender their resigna- tions. It is believed that in a majority of cases they have already done so. ' .Changes In Cuba. Too. Another change sure to follow will be in the captain generalcy of Cuba. He is al- ways chosen from Spain, and not from Cuba, and belongs to the party of the ministry. The present captain general is a Liberal, so that his resignation is regard- ed as a certainty, and _ it is thought quite probable by officials here that he has al- ready tendered it. His retirement at this critical time in the affairs of the island, it is believed. will have an important ef- feet on Cuban affairs. It is expected here that the new captain general will share the sentiment of the new ministry, which is said to be in favor of crushing the rev- olution in short order. His presence in Cuba is likely to be accompanied by heavy re-enforcements of Spanish troops, ships and materials of war. - This being the first day of the new min- istry, a reply to the United States on the Allianca afiair was not expected, nor did it come. It is thought, however, that it will be one of the first ”subjects which will engage the attention of the ministry. Be- fore reaching the merits of the case the ministry will first have to decide whether to confirm or reject the preliminary assur- ance given by the last ministry to Score- tary Gresham that a proper explanatiim would be made when the facts of the A1- lianca case were ascertained. The new ministry is rather inclined to be belliger- ent in its tendencies—that is, so far as can be judged by the record of its principal members. England’s Diplom‘atic Assurance. WASHINGTON, March 26.—Dr. Guzman, the Nicaraguan minister, was at the state department today, although this was not diplomatic day, and the inference is that he has been consulting Secretary Gresham respecting the British ultimatum. It is evident that the state department is deep- ly concerned in this matter. and a state- ment from Embassador Bayard explaining the purposes of Great Britain is anxiously leoked for. It is new recalled that when Mr. Bayard last year at the time of the Bluefields trouble secured from the British government an assurance that it had no desire to interfere with the politics of Nicaragua it was distinctly stated that Gr at Britain reserved the right to secure retfi'ess for the oppressic'm of British sub- jects. Not much heed was given to this qualification last year, but it appears to have suddenly assumed an importance as large as the original issue—namely, the right of Great Britain to assert 8. protect- orate over the Mosquito reservation. As for the British ultimatum, it is not believ- cd that our government can object to the creation of a commission of fair complexion to ascertain and fix damages sustained by British subjects in Nicaragua, and the issue appears to have narrOWed down to the demand of an indemnity of $75, 000 for the expulsion of Mr. Hatch, the British consular agent at Bluefields. It is felt here that in the present depressed finan- cial condition of Nicaragua this is rather an exorbitant demand. Bank Failure In Newport. NEWPORT, Pa., March 26.-—-Thc New- port deposit bank, T. B. Milligan presi- dent, and J. H. Irwin, cashier, failed to open its doors today. Saturday afternoon they were unable to pay an exchange ac- count with the First National bank of this place for $4,500. The assets of the bank are placed at $262,496, with liabili- ties at $160,296. It is believed that the de- positors will be paid in full. The failure to realize on obligations is assigned as the chief cause of the suspension. , Fell Beneath the Train. JAMAICA, N L Y., . March 26. -— John Behrnes. 30 years old, a brakeman on the Port Jefferson freight train on the Long Island railroad, was killed here.

Mills, of Lebanon, Conn, says: “I was afiiicted with rheumatism in my back all last winter. It was so severe at times that I could not stand up straight, but was drawn over on one side. I tried different remedies without receiving any relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain 15 Pam Balm. After using it for three days, according to directions, my rheumatism was gone and has not returned since. I have smce recommended it to others and know they have been benefitedby its use.

' ' BROOKLYN’S MYSTERY Three Suspects Arrested For the Mur- der of James Anderson. ’ DETECTIVES WILL NOT TALK An Early Morning Barroom Brawl \Vliich the Authorities Seem to Be Unable to ’Understand—A Theory Ad- vanced by a Police Captain. NEW YORK, March 26.-—-Detectivcs Mil- ler and Burns of the Ralph Avenue station, Brooklyn, this afternoon arrested three men, who are believed to have been impli- cated in the death of James Anderson of 561 Evergreen avenue, in front of 1058 Hancock street. They refused to give their names. After the prisoners had been taken to the Ralph Avenue police station, where they were questioned by Captain Dunn, they were taken to the Raymond Street jail, where the brother of the murdered man is con- fined. He could not identify the men. The men also said that they never saw either the prisoner or his brother who was murdered. The police will not talk about the pris- oners. After their visit to the Raymond street jail they were taken back to the Fourteenth precinct station, where they ' Were interviewed by Inspector Reilly. He failed to get any information from them other than they never saw any one of the J:- _ Anderson brothers. Though the brothers of the dead man, William, 30 years old, and Joseph, 25 years old, are under arrest, the police say that the evidence at hand shOWS that they did not do the cutting. Moreover, Captain Dunn believes that Joseph tells the truth when he says that ho was not present when James was killed and knows noth- ing of the row. ‘Vi-tnesscs of the Fight. Another thing that Captain Dunn has settled on is that there were four men in the street fight. Two men who live in Hancock street near Where James’ threat was cut called on Captain Dunn early this morning and told him they saw the whole fight. They got a good look at the men and _ could identify them. They did identify William, but after looking at Joseph they declared that he was not one of the four quarreling men. These two witnesses were out with the police of the Fourteenth precinct search- ing for the missing men. The police will not reveal their names. They and Peter P. Napp of 1137 Hancock street, who was on the street bound homeward when James was killed, gave the only reliable account of the afEray. William was too drunk to know what took place. Putting the statements of those three together, Captain Dunn gives this recital of the facts of the killing: James, the dead man, and his two brothers. William and J oseph, had been playing cards in Murray’s saloon at Ma- con street and Broadway. William and Joseph got very drunk. Joseph left first. Half an hour later the other brothers left. William was in a. quarrelsome mood. James was trying to get him home. The brothers met the two strangers. A fight followed. It was probably caused by some senseless remark, as most drunken rows are. Just what the cause was William was too drunk to know. They fought to the middle of the street. One man, the fellow William was after, broke and ran to the sidewalk. William tried to follow. James tried to hold him back. William broke away and threw a stone at the man. Then he ran toward him. All four men closed in. James was trying to prevent the fight. James’ Throat Cut. Just then he was cut. The man who used the knife dealt a terrific blow. The gash ext-ended entirely across the throat and severed the'windpipc completely. The two men then ran away. William had sense enough to help J amcs to Krausche's drug store at 1,093 Hancock street. Mr. Napp aided him. Shouting, “I’ll fix them. I’ll have satisfaction for this l” William ran frantically out of the drug store. Three minutes later he returned. His face, it was then noticed, was bleed- ing and bruised. He again left the drug store. About 15 minutes later he return— ed, saying that he had been home, with a clean shirt on, his face washed and his wounds covered with court plaster. Then he learned that James had died before the ambulance from St. Mary’s hospital had arrived. Before William was arrested. at 7 .30 o’clock,he Went to James’ widow and told her that he knew nothing about the kill- ing, and that he had not the slightest idea how it occurred. He has, freely told the police all the little he remembers, and he is not suspected. The weapon that killed James has not been found. _ The dead man was an insurance agent and lived with his wife and 10-year-old daughter. During the last election he ran on the independent Democratic ticket for supervisor of the Twenty-eighth ward. In the Gates avenue police court William and Joseph Were arraigned and held as witnesses. N o bail was asked for or named. Found Drowned In East River.
