MORE REMARKS BY HANNIS TAYLOR
:Congress Should Promptly Pass the
Beiligerency Resolution.
Montgomery, Ala.. Dec. 1.——Ex-Mlnis-
,ier Hannis Taylor, while on his way
to his home in Mobile, spoke as follows
on the Cuban question:
“-The reforms proposed by Senor Sa-
gasta can have no practical effect
whatever, for the reason that they have
been offered more than two years too
late.
with the Spanish statesmen to grant
such reforms as a basis of settlement.
Senor Canovas refused all real conces-
sions and undei took a war of extermi-
nation, whose dreadful results have
made a peace settlement impossible be-
cause the insurgents, on their part, 1\ 111
listen to nothing, now that the mili—
tary power of Spain is exhausted.
Peace can only be restored in Cuba in
one way. Spain is powerless either to
conciliate or conquer, consequently the
dreadful strife must go on untillthe
United States commands the peace in
her own interest and in behalf of civ-
ilization.
“We can hope for nothing except
from Congress. The Executive power
will attempt, no doubt, to temporize,
with the view of escaping responsibil-
ity, and in that way will prolong the
doubt and uncertainty from which all
business interests are now suffe1ing.I
fear that the P1esident in his fo1th-
coming message will attempt to muzzle
Congress by the pretense that there is
still a hope for a peaceful settlement.
If he does the response on the part of
Congress should be prompt and decid-
ed. If the House of Representatives
will only act promptly and pass the
Senate belligerency resolution, in forty
or fifty days the recognition of Cuban
independence will be in order, and then
Spanish power in Cuba will end and
peace will be attained without war
with Spain, unless she declares it upon
us without any legal cause whatever.”
TELLS OF THE MURDER.
Lizzie DeKalb Makes a Statement
About Iiilling' Mrs. Ivlniser.
, Norristown, Pa., Dec. 1.—Lizzie De-
Kalb, the mysterious woman in black
of the Kaiser murder case, who made
a statement in the county jail here
Monday, admitted that she was out
riding with James A. Clemmer on the
night of Oct. 28, 1886, when Mrs.
Charles 0. Kaiser, Jr., was murdered,
but denied that she had any fore-
knowledge that the crime was to be
committed, or that she knew anything
whatever about it until theAfact of
themurder was generally known.
By her statement the DeKalb woman
seeks only to exculpate herself from
knowledge of or participation in the
murder and to implicate no one. The
statement was taken down by a
stenographer and will be used in the
woman’s defense at her trial.
Her counsel intimated that she had
said that on the night of the murde1
lemmer had left her sitting alone
for a few minutes in the buggy in
which they had been driving, but that
she knew nothing of what happened
while Clemmer was away from her.
Attorney Jenkins said further that
his client’s statement must not be
called a confession, because she ad-
mitted no fOreknowledge of the crime:
but the lawyer admitted that he did
not see how she could escape being ac-
cessory after the fact.
The DeKalb woman, her counsel and
the District Attorney drove over the
scene of the murder yesterday after—
noon.
Requisition papers for Clemmer, who
is now in prison at Newark, have been
prepared and he is expected in Norris—
town not later than to—day. Mr. Hol—
land, for the Commonwealth, main—~
talus that, while the woman’s coun—
sel says that she merely made a state-
ment, what she says is really a com-
plete confession.
FAST MAlL’S GREAT RUN.
Union Pacific Train Made ('21-;1
Miles an Hour for 519 Miles.
Council Bluffs, 1a., Dec. l..—To save
the paying of a heavy fine to the Gov:
eminent for delaying mail, a Union Pa-
(:ific train made the run of 519 miles
from Cheyenne to Council Bluffs in 5.59
minutes. This is the actual time
elapsed, including all the iegu 3'.
stops, changing engines twice and a
five- minute delay to repair a bu1s ed
air-biake hose.
The average running time for the
entire distance from Cheyenne was 1.1.
little more than sixty—two and a 112121?
miles an hour.
On account of a. burned— out b1id: re
the heavy mail train from the coast
was five hours late at Cheyenne. It
was necessary to make up this time to
Council Bluffs or pay a big fine.
The greatest burst of speed was
made on the 100-mile stretch between
Grand Island and. Ames. The train
made the run in a little better speed
than sixty—eight miles an hour, and
landed here with thirteen minutes to
spare.
Thousands to See a Hanging:
Parkersburg, W. Va., Dec. 1.—Dec. 16,
at Ripley, will surpass any circus day
ever seen in this part of the country.
That is the date on which John F.
Morgan will pay the penalty of three
murders committed by him, and thou-
sands of people are eXpected at Rip-
ley from all the surrounding towns and
counties to witness the execution. At-
tempts have been made to get the Ohio
Railroad officials to run excursions
from both ends of their road to the
place of execution.
The hanging will be in the open, so
that everybody may see it. The scaf—
fold will be erected on a knoll two
miles from town.
Indiana Miners All at \Vork.
Terre Haute, Ind., Dec. 1.—XVith the
settlement of the strike at Hymera and
Star City yesterday the mining indus-
try is in better condition than it has
been at any time in ten years, accord-
ing to State Secretary Kennedy. All
the miners are fully employed, and at
most mines more men are wanted. The
lndiana miners will ask for an advance
from 56 to 70 cents a ton at the inter-
state conference to be held at Colum-
bus the middle of this month.
England After Ch inn.
London, Dec. 1.-+The morning papers
assert that China has practically
agreed to cede to England a strip of
territory near I—long Kong and all the
surrounding islands in order to enable
England to fortify them securely and
to increase the garrison. It is expected
that a convention covering theagree-
ment will soon be signed.
As long ago as that I pleaded
he would be nominated.

TERRIBLE‘STORMS‘IN ENGLAND.
Fatalities on- the Ocean Equaled by '
the Damage Done Ashore.
London, Dec. 1.—Stories of wrecks,
fatalities and damage done as a result
of the gale which has caused so much
damage in England continue to be re-
ceived. ‘All the bays and ports are full
of shipping, more or less ,seriously
damaged. Such sights have not been
seen for many years. Several of the
inland towns of Kent are still flooded,
and a long time must elapse before the
damage done 'can be repaired.
The seaside resorts naturally have
sustained the most serious damage. At
Margate alone the damage done is es-
timated to amount to £50, 000 ($250, 000),
and at South End the estimates place
the damage at £30,000 ($150,000). Sim-
ilar reports are being received from
other seaside places.
The severity of the weather prevail—
ing in Durhamshire can be gauged by
the fact of the finding of the frozen
body of a laborer who lost his way in
a. snowstorm.
Five artillerymen from Shoeburyness
who were sent out to search for a boat
in which six gunners were adrift were
driven out to sea and were picked up
by the Allan Line steamer Austrian,
after their boat had been stove in. It
is feared that the boat containing the
six gunners. has been swamped and
that the men have been drowned.
The Ramsgate lifeboat, which, with
a tug, the two vessels having a score
of men on board, went to assist a ves-
sel in danger on the Goodwin Sands,
have not been heard from for twenty-
four hours. A dispatch from Liver-
pool says that during the gale the Rus-
sian ‘bark Nikolai. Capt. Karisen,
stranded on a treacherous bank near
Formby, south of Southport. After
fearful experiences her sails were
blown away and the vessel was dam-
aged so as to be uncontrollable. One
of the crew, a man named Karlston,
was swept overboard and drowned.
The captain says no one had slept on
board for four days. With the eXCep-
tion of Karlston the ship's company is
safe, but the vessel, which is not in—
sured, will probably become a wreck.
CHANGES IN THE CABINET.
No Successor for Attorney-Genera]
McKenna Chosen.
Washington, Dec. 1.—The President
is going to appoint Attorney-General
McKenna to the Supreme bench, to
succeed Justice Field, who retires this
month, but he has given no intimation
as to who_will be Judge McKenna’s'
successor in the Cabinet. He has
reached no decision in the matter, and
may, therefore, wait some time before
sending the nomination\of Judge Mc-
Kenna for the Supreme bench to the
Senate.
The talk about Judge Day becoming
Attorney—General is a revival of an
old rumor, which has been denied by
the Assistant Secretary of State him—
self. The Prz‘: ident would gladly
make his friend Attorney-General, but
Judge Day says l‘e prefers his present
place. Judge Lay has had entire
charge of the Spanish—Cuban question
since he took his present office, and to
leave the work which he has so well
in hand might cause some embarrass-
ment.
The talk about the retirement of
Secretary Sherman is without founda-
tion, and should be dismissed from all
calculations in regard to Cabinet
changes.
The President would be glad to ap-
point Judge Nathan Goff, of West Vir-
ginia, Attorney-General. Judge Goff
was offered the place when the Presi-
dent originally made up his Cabinet,
but could not accept it then. _If he
would accept it now it is said that
It may be
significant in this connection to state
that Judge Goff is expected in VVash—
ington to-day.
Stamping Out Tuberculosis.
Harrisburg, Dec. 1.—-The State Live
Stock Sanitary Board met yesterday
afternoon. The State Veterinarian sub-
mitted a. report showing that during
the past six months 406 herds, includ-
ing 5,368 cattle, had been examined for
Of these 658 were found
to be diseased and were killed. The
percentage of diseased animals in in-
spected herds has decreased from 20.2
This indi—
cates that the worst centres of disease
have been discovered and removed, and
that rapid progress is being made to
suppress tuberculosis in this State.
It was agreed that the present plan
of inspection should be continued, and
that $10, 000 should be set aside for this
work.
The law prohibiting the importation
of diseased cattle into Pennsylvania
will go into effect on Janpl, 1898.
Fighting the Anti-Gunibling Law.
Trenton, N. J., Dec. 1.-—Former At-
torney—General Stockton has been re-
tained with Allan L. McDermott and
ex-Senator Edwards to further can-
test the regularity cf the adoption of
the anti—race-track constitutional
amendment. They have applied to
Justices Van Sickel, Collins and Dixon
for a hearing, on the contention that
the amendment did not receive the ma-
jority of votes required by the consti-
tution. The hearing will take place
on Friday.
Labor Looks for Laws.
Washington, Dec. .1—Chief Arthur
of the Brotherhood of Railway Loco-
motive Engineers, Chief Sargent, who
is at the head of the Firemen, and
Chief Powell of the Telegraphers have
come on to Washington in behalf
of certain legislation which the friends
of labor have been strenuously advo-
cating for the past three or four years.
They will endeavor to get through
Congress the compulsory arbitration
bill and the bill establishing a. nation-
a1 labor commission.
Gen. 0rdway’s Successor.
v.7: .shington, Dec. 1.—The President
has decided to appoint Major George
H.1"i'arries to be Brigadier-General, com-
manding the District of Columbia Na-
tional Guard, to succeed the late Gen.
Albert N. Ordway, who died in New
York on Nov. 21. Major Harries is
Inspector- -General of Rifle Practice in
the District Guaid. In business life
he is the secretary of the Washington
yBoaid of Trade.
\Voodford to Give a Dinner.
_ Madrid, Dec. 1,—The United ' States
Minister, Gen. Stewart L. Woodford,
will give a banquet here on Sunday
next in honor of the Government offi-
cers and members of the diplomatic
corps.
Constipation.
A Disease that is Numbering its Vic-
tims by Hundreds of Thousands.
Constipation is a disease that stops
the machinery of the body. It puts
every organ out of condition. Dis-
ease spreads
into the entire
system, all be-
cause'there is
a little
obstruc-
tion in the bowels. People say their
heads trouble them. They have no
energy. They can’t sleep. They are
nervous. Appetite is poor. Down
at the bot-tom of all is constipation,
which is one of the things that Dr.
David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy
always cures. Here is proof:
Mrs. Julia A. Yeaple, of Kingston,
N. Y., says: “If it were not for Dr.
David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy
I think I, should die from constipa-
tion. It gives me an appetite, pro-
duces refreshing sleep, and cured
me of a nervous affection I had for
years. I could not live without it.”
All druggists sell it for $1 a come.
