taken her to a restaurant ami had the
$55,000 laid on the table. The waiter
said she was carolers. Ho also told
uie that he had promised fo marry
her and that ho was going to kill her.
He also isaid Unit he was going to get
hor to take out a life Insurnm-u policy
and kill Iter."
llayward sat and laughed several
time*- during the story.
During his story Ulixt said that on
the night of the murder, December 3rd,
he, Hayward, told him that he .
to kill Miss Ging that night "Any
way/' Ullxt quoted Hayward "There
will bo a funeral before the 18th. Aftei
-*hu~ls killed she will.be brought here,
an 1 will have to sit up with the
corpse. Thou after the eoroner lias
been here I will be the on to go Wast.
I luive "got to get that $15,000 and to
night is as good a time as 'any.' "
He said ho would get $10, ''OO mil i?f
the Job.
"He said," wen! oil Bitot in a rapid,
broken voice, "lie. said, 'She wants to
marry mo and I luive promised. Now
1 am going to kill her, f am going to
kill her now. Kverytime I1*1 go to hoi
place idrt' hum:*' around any nook and
1 hate the sight of her. I would kill
hor Blixt Just like a dog. If there wwi
a dog and this woman together anil l
was goluj^jto' shoot one of them I would
shoo* iter and let the dog go.'"
Hayward, he ?aid, gave him some work
and told him ?>f the plan he had arranged
fo have BHx( kill Mlf-s (iing. "1 won't
do it, Harry," the man replied; "1 won't
Dave any tlifcng to do \Vlth it." And he
turiKMl avMj. *
"I lore lllixl." said Hayward- "I'm
afraid <?f that wife of yourV; I guess
she known loo much and l^wunt. t> kill^..
her. Vou'd he better o(T without' h<5r.
anyway a gaiKl deal better off."
\Yiteii he liegHiti to describe Hay ward's
I iireatn towards Mrs. Bitot he stared
hi aight at HayVcird lor the limjU>lime
sluts* he tonk hus plaee on the' stand.
The pri^ner smiled and gave no sign
other than to shrug his shoulders con
tempt umisly. Bitot stared there for a
moment without speaking.
"What then." said the WtaieVi attorney,
lot* tire murderer had reached hi? limit
of endurance apparently, lie eol apsed,
weeping like a child.
In di writhing the fatal rhie lie said
Mies ( ? ijig asked him what he was try
ing to eoii<-eal at his right lu.r.d. lie re
plied that it was a revolver; they', he
shot her.
"I raised the revolver," said he
'Mime after lime, but I could not do it.
Then oii<-i*slie turned aw?>' out. I did
not look 1 did not look atVall? I could
not look. I jimt threw the Revolver \\\y
qujek and sliol Iter. I did inTTSQUj*
v.Jiere 1 kIioI her? I did not look to see.
Harry told me to shoot her behind the
ear or in the forehead ? he said them
were the places ro nhoot .but 1 did not
look ? I was wared. I was afraid Harry
Hayward would kill my wife? and he
would have killed her, if I didn't do it."
Then ho threw the liody out. When
the revolver wae produced there was
another dramatic scene, in which Mr.
l'lrwin figured . No one could remove
the chambers from the revolver and
Harry took it, a watchful deputy stand
ing close to him. The cartridges fell
out on the floor and Harry cut his
linger on the weapon. At once Mr.
Met win's dramatic voice came sharp and
itistinct, "The defendant hag cut his
finger ou this weapon . There is blood,
you see. want it noticed that sucfli is
the cam*. We want everything open
and above hoard. If blood is found on
the revolver this must bo noted."
The State admitted that there was no
blood on the -weapon, and the oane went
on .
? Bitot ?4ahned tlmt Hayward had told
him of killLng two men, one a Cliina
mau, and wounding a third. He also
spoko about being hired to fire buildings,
but the court put a stop to this line of
questioning.
Bitot's bearing during the cro??-exnmi
nation was romarkable, and in vain did
Mr. Mrwln, for the <lefence, try to shake
him. Question followed question with

Mr. K. \V. Wilfbi :us, who Iris charge

Utm Sheriff of ISrie county. They made
him mayor <>f Buffalo, Governor of

Young men, many of them Republican*
or miigwumps,?"^vho votc<l for 111 in be
cause they knew him and had perfect
confidence in his integrity."
'"In Mr. Cleveland as stubborn as the
people think he is?"
"Stubborn is not the wutd. lie is
firm. He never takes n position on n
public question until 1.e has weighed
It carefully. Then he gets on tin* side
that ho thinks is right, and no powei
can budge him. And it usually tnrnn
out that he Is right."
"Wafl he popular with his in Ighhors?"
"Yw, very "popular personally, but he
never carried his own ward in any
election. The Ninth ward, where he
lived was always a Republican strong

Tito .Market ('ontroilcd l?> ????' New*
In Financial CUoIm.
New York, Feb. II. Hubbard. Price ??v
Co.'s weekly cotton I'tter fays: Tlte
rapid d?-pletion of il??* gold balance of
the Treasury, through the return of so
curiticn from h.urope, baaed up ? n the
idea that the I Tnit?*ii States government
was going on a silver basis, has prac
tically overshadowed any eveuts which
have happened to influence the price of
cotton, ami the cotton marked for th*?
week has been priu'tlcallv e<u>1 rolled by
tho varying eo-ndijfons ?whjuh have been'
reported regarding t li** Jlnarie'.al situation!
of the government. It is no doubt true
that tho alarm in lCurope has led to pur
?hasca of cotton here by exporters, who
have felt that as cotton wan use I pi in
cipally in Kurope, remittances *>f cotton
in place of remittances of gold w.yuld
pay for the securties which have been
returned from Kurope. These purchases
have had the effect of advancing this
market, and each improvement hus cro
ated f rosh alanu on the part of the Bluirt
interest and led to baying for that ac
count. These purchaser have been tilled
by Southern sellers, who have up to the
present time held their cotton tenaciously,
but now appear to be willing to meet
tho market and to sell freely on each
advance, The recent Bevero weather In
tho Mississippi valley and Texas should
have the effect of curtailing the move
ment. of the crop in those sections of the
country, hut the Atlantic Slates appear
now to he willing to dispose of the cot
ton which they have held during the en
tire scasou with freedom, and the move
incut at those ports show no diminution
In fact a comparative increase over the
previous weeks. The amount of cotton
coming in sight each doy is simply over
whelming as compared with the move
ment of last year and shows a constant
increase upon the movement of 1^02.
We are now approaching a time when
this movement must ftill off or else the
crop will exceed the estimate of 9,f?0O,
(XX) which has been current for so lon\r
a time. We are also nearing the period
when the question of acreage should be
an important factor in controlling values;
but there is as yet no positive indication
that the acre-age will be decreased to the
extent which merchants have Iwen led
to expect! Of course if prices keep low
throughout the planting season tho dis
position to raise more corn and less cot
ton will become marked, but at the pres
ent time there is no positive movement
towards a sharp decrease in acreage.
Uncertainty regarding the financial leg s
lat.ion of the country naturally prevent*
any material change in values, as most
of the transactions are in the nature of
liquidation of outstanding interests. It
is, however, noticeable, that throughout
the country business is improving, and if
Congress will follow the advice of Mr.
Cleveland, the United States is ready for
a season of prosperity su h as it has sel
dom witnessed. On the other hand, if
no action is taken it goes without saying
that a loss of national credit means the
same to a nation as the lows of individual
I credit to an individual, and that the
amount of foreign capital which w-uild
be withdrawn from this country in com e
quenco of our failure to maintain our ob
j ligations on a gold basis, would be that
every producer would be in the same
position that the producers of Mexico,
South America, and India arc today, de
pendent upon the tluctua tin< rate of ex
change at the value of the products of
the farm. So long us this uncertainty
continues, it is useless to dis. uss the cot
ton question, as no one will enter into
fresh engagements until the situation is
more clearly defined. In our opinion th>^
laws- iiihjii the statute books of the
I'nited States compel the Maintenance of
this country upon a gold standard so loug
as the President can sell the obligations
of the United States at par, and we havo
the assurance that I** will carry out these
laws. Therefore we do not expo 4 any
premium upon gold.

...1 <>n behalf Of the Government that the
cases against Dennis 1 .ark In. John Hnrke,
j Krunk preyer and aJnn s McDonald he
dismissed.
JudK? GroBscup dismissed these four
and anopuneed that he would let the jury
pass on the twist's of* the directors of tho I
American Hallway Union. The defense
asked him yesterday tctfj dismiss t lie
cases without a further hearing In regard
to John V. McVean and Martin J. Kl
I lot t . the two least active of the directors.
Th". Judge said he would take their cases
under condlseratlon. ?
Tim defense began It case hy putting on I
the atajid President Thomas, of the Chi- I
cago and Western Indiana ltallroad. Mr. I
Thomas was questioned about the Vjen- I
eral Managers Association. He said tho J
association had considered the arranging
of a wane schedule for employes of the
roads centering In Chicago. Attorney
Harrow put the witness through a hot I
examination as to the objects and met h- I
ods of the awwxdatlon and Its action In I
combining to defeat tho American Hall
way Union In the big railroad strike,
which was admitted.
Hoswell Miller, president and A. J. I

In passing on ihfl question, whether |

Washington, 1>. C., Feb. 5. ? 1 The tlrs
day's (lebtite in the House on the eurren
cy aud banking bill, authariz.iiK the issue
c>f low rato long time bonds to maintain
t Do gold I'fwerve, brought out Mr. Reed's
substitute for the men mi re, which has
l?eeu discussed the past day or two.
The ispoeeh in which he prevented tho
projtosition was the principal feature of
the day. The bill is, in brief, (hat the
Secretary of the Treasury is directed to
issue 3 per cent, certiticates of indebted
uetM to meet the deficiencies in receipts
the gold reserve to be used ouly for the
redemption of greenbacks. These re
ceipts, he said, might be for two years, or
lew. and could be redemed out of the
surplus receipts which the Secretary eat 1
mates the Treasury will have thjs year.
This will avoid questions, he said,
which hinder the passage of the commit
tee's bill, antl meet tho present exigency
The Republicans, he said, were willing
to forego any party advantage that might
bo obtained from a continuance of pres
ent conditions, and join in the passago
of a measure that would relievo the
country, but it must be such a measuro
as commended itself to their ideas of
right and justice and practicability. The
bill he offered an a substitute waa or
dered to bo printed in The Record. The
dc'bato was participated in by Mr.
Springer (Dcra.l. of Illinois; and Mr...,
Patterson (l)cm.), of Tennessee, in favor
of the bill, and by Mr. Walker (ltep.), of
Massachusetts; Mr. llall (Detu.), of Mis
souri; Mr. Kwansou (Detn.), of Virginia;
Mr. Simpson (Pop.), of Kansas; Mr.
McKcighan (I'ap.), of Nebraska, aud
Mr. Pence (Pop.), of Colorado, against it.
Messrs, Walker aud Cox also have a
substitute for the pending bill which they
propose to offer.
Two or three private bills swere passed
under requests for unanimous consent
and a number of bills were reported from
commit tees. The Committee on Public
Lands reported, and tho Hrmse passed 'it
resolution directing the Secretary of the
Interior to suspend the location of lands
under grants pendiug action by Congress
The House 0k. -1:50 p. m. adjourned
until tomorrow.
THIS H 10 .VATIC,
Tho opening of today's Hewsion in the
Senate was uccompnnied by a rather
Htonny scene between two members of
thai body. An objection which Mr
Harris made to a request of Mr. Mitchell
(Itcp.), of Oregon, to l>e pJJowed to ad
dre*w the Senate in explanation*/^ "ft re
purl whioh lie proposed to make, was re
sented l?y the Oregon senator, who
after some little exoluvnge of <discourte
?ies, indulged in the cutting remark that
the Tennessee senator was ?capabie of
doing unusual and indiscreet and ungen
tlemanly tilings."
For this the angry reply was that Mr....
Mitchell's course was "contemptible.'
There were some stormy indications after
this point, but a timely u eh of the gavel
by the Vice President prevented gBT
further explosion of anger on eitner side ?
and business was proceeded with.
The district of Columbia appropriation
bills and other matters occupied the re
inainder of the day's session, the biil
being parsed before adjournment. At
one j)oint the financial question broke ou
in the shape of an amendment offered by
Mr. McLaurin (Dem.), of Miaalssippi
looking to the coinage of the silver bullion
in the Treasury to the amcunt of the
seigniorage ($55,000,000). The amend
ment to which it was offered was de
dared by a vole of tile Senate to be ou
of order, and Mr. McLatff-in'* amend ?
uient fell with it. After the District ap
propria t ion bill was passed the diplomatic
and consular appropriation bill was taken
np, not, however, displacing the bank
ruptcy biil as the unfinished business,
ai\d tho Senate at 4:40, after a short ex
.eoutive session, adjourned.
WasMngton, Fert>. 5.? Tho Senate this
afternoon in executive session reconsldao
ered the Japanese treaty, and made
the change in its text to which attention
was called some days ago by the State
Department . tl
The treaty as. amended in the Senate
provided that it should be within the
power of either of the contracting par*
ties to abrogate it after twelve months'
notice. <>
Inasmuch as tho treaty does not go
Into effect until four yeans from now.
in 18SJD, this would put it in. the po<wer
uf the United States to abrogate the
contention before it went into operation,
a condition which the Japanese minister
represented would be manifestly unfair
to the Government of Japan. He urged
that the treaty be reconsidered and the
amendment changed so that it <x>utd be
abrogated twelve montha after the Mine
bad been iu operation.
The Secretary of State called the at
tention of the senators to this in a
letter addressed to each senator per
sonally, and^tnere being no opposition to
it, the change waa made today -without
formality of a vote upon a statement of
the case by tb4 chairman' of the Ootn
mittee.on Foreign Relations. Hie State
Department, it is understood, hasre
celvod the assurances of, the JaptnlMl
minister that the treaty as amended
in this -way would be sath*f actory, and
there appears to be no reason why it
may not become operative in 4m course
of time, ?Nthout unnecessary delay.
