AT HOME AND ABROADCOMMENTS
ON THE PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE.
A Speck of War in Europe—Attacked by
Robbers—\ Talk With Cutting—
The Crown Prince’s Malady—In
a Masher’s Toils.
A Curious Charge.
Caicago, December 7.—A curious
complaint against Harry L. Gilmer was
made at the office of the Women’s Pro 1
fective Association today by Miss Lydia
L. North, a bookkeeper. Gilmer is the
grayhaired, lank, sixfooter who
achieved considerable notoriety by giving
startling, direct testimony against Spies
and other defendants in the anarchist
trial.
Miss North is young, petite
and has snapping black eyes.
She claimed that Gilmer has
been pestering her with his attentions
until life has become a burden. He was
continually forcing himself into her
presence and endeavoring to create the
impression that he and she were intimate
or that she was under obligation to him.
Miss North represented that she was
without protection, having only recently
come here from Tillsonburg, Ont., and
has been ill much of the time since. Gilmer
has of late been quartered in the same
boarding house where she has
made her home. The fact
that he displays on the slightest provocation
a derringer or knife h is made her
cautious of offending him. Gilmer’s
latest impudence, she said, was to force
upon her the gift of a seal plush cloak,
and before she had an opportunity to teturn
it sent an officer to the house to replevy
the garment. The boardinghouse
mistress corroboiates Miss North.Gilmer,
when seen this evening, denied the
statements and claimed that the young
lady had been trying to ‘‘play him.”
A Talk With Cutting.
St. Louis, December 7.—A. K. Cutting,
whose case is again under discussion
in Washington and Mexico, is at
present employed here as a compositor
on a weekly paper. He is an expert at
his trade, and is in excellent standing
with his employers. He was seen yesterday
and said that he believed that
Secretary Bayard’s action in the case was
correct. He believed that influence had
been brought to bear on the administration
not to press his claim for $50,
000 indemnity. He desires to learn
the position President Cleveland will
take in the matter in his next message,
and it it was not favorable to him he
would then write a letter to Secretary
Bayard reviewing all the facts in the
case and giving free expression of his
opinion ot the failure of the administration
to support his demand. He said he
knew positively that Minister Sedgwick,
in his report' of the case to Secretary
Bayard, h id fully endorsed the report
that Consul J. H. Brigham had made to
him, and that the reason why Mr. Bayard
had failed to press the indemnity fund
in the report made by Sedgwick was be
1 cause Wall stieet influence, which did
not desire trouble with Mexico, was
brought to bear on the administration.
The Crown Prince’s Malady.
Berlin, December 7.—The Freisinge
Zeitung publishes what is alleged to be
Prof. Virchow’s opinion of the Crown
Prince’s malady. It is in effect that from
all hitherto allowed to be known, it
would be impossible for the most conscientious
expert to form a decided
opinion whether the growth is of a cancerous
nature or not, or even
whether the socalled new formation
is at the old place operated
upon last summer or not. The crown
prince, in a letter written in a jocular
spirit to an officer of the army, says he
has received remedies enough to cure all
his diseases. A special from San Remo
says the prince was out driving yesterday
and took a walk this morning. He looks
strong and healthy.
Candidates for Minister to Mexico.
Washington, December 7.—On last
Friday several of the Tennessee delegation
waited upon the president and presented.
to his consideration the name of
Col. A. S. Colyar, the distinguished editor,
lawyer and politician of Nashville,
for the Mexican mission. The president
stated that he would give Col. Colyar’s
application full attention, but that as
yet he had not taken up the question of
filling the vacancy Justice Todd’s papers,
signed by both the Louisiana senators
and a number of lesser lights, ate on
file at the state department.
Attacked by Robbers.
Piqua, Ohio, December 7.—A terrible
tragedy occurred at a farm house two
miles from this city on Monday night.
Between 9 and 10 o’clock, while Mr.
John H. Wolf was sitting at home with
his two sisters, they were alarmed by the
sound of heavy strokes on the front door .
The door soon gave way and Mr. Wolf
sprang to the door of the sitting room,
locked it and braced himself against
it just as it was again assailed in
the same manner. One of his sisters
ran for a loaded double barrelled shot
gun and placed it in her brother’s hands
just as the door yielded and
revealed two masked men, the foremost
ot whom leveled a revolver at Mr. Wolf
The revolver and shot gun were discharged
almost simultaneously. The
robber’s aim missed and shattered a
glass on the table. Mr. Wolf’s shot
took effect and the remaining robber
seized his wounded comrade and dragged
him out. Mr. Wolf’s second
barrel missed fire. He then
bolted and barricaded the door, unable
to call help and afraid to leave the
house. After a terrible night, he went
out.in the morning and found the dead
man not twenty yards away. In the
afternoon the coroner removed the mask
and found a young man supposed to be
a canal boatmap. A shaip butcher
knife was in his possession. No clew is
found to his companion. Murder and
robbery were undoubtedly intended.
Two Newspaper Views.
Berlin, December 7.—The National
Gazette, discussing the Vienna Freemdemblat’s
article relative to the massing
of troops on the Russian frontier, says:
It is evident that the torce of Russian
troops now in Poland is not sufficient to
attack the two formidable military powers.
The present massing of troops is
too small for war and too large for peace.
We must wait and see how Russia will
reconcile the massing with the pacific
assurances ot the Journal de St. Petersburg.
The Moscow Gazette says the future
policy of France will dfecide whe.her
Germany will be compelled to watch
one or both of her frontiers. The paper
declares that Russia must always have a
strong fleet in the Pacific ocean.
A Speck of War.
Vienna, December 7.—Prices on the
bourse fell rapidly at the close last evening
on continued rumors that Russian
troops were being massed on the frontier.
Later in the evening, Austrian and
Hungarian rentes fell heavily and gold
rose. The PestherLloyd says: “The
situation is undeniably most serious;
Russia’s attitude is so threatening that
we cannot but think that war is inevitable.
There is an unconfirmed rumor
that Germany and Austria have sent a
joint note to St. Petersburg asking Russia
to explain the massing of troops on
the frontiers.
Regulators Killed.
■New Orleans, December 7.—A
special from Lake City Miss., says: Last
night a band of regulators went ta the
house of the Williams brothrs, colored,
it is supposed for the purpose of punishing
them for misdemeanors. On arriviving
at the house, they ordered the two
negroes to open the door and on their
refusal broke the door down, when the
negroes fired upon them, killing two
while men, named Ben Griffith and John
McCarney. The negroes then escaped
and are still at large.
The World and the Message.
New York, December 7.—A World
editorial says: “The admirable message
of the president has given to the democratic
party what it h is long h eked, an
issue and a leader. The issue is tariff
reform; the leader is the president. It
can hardly be that the president has not,
at this juncture, influence enough to secure
the union of the democrats in the
house upon a measure of revenue reduction
and tariff reform.”
British Comment on the Message.
London, December 7.—The Daily
News says: “Seldom has an
American president had a more important
or comprehensive lesson to teach.
The fact is that although President
Cleveland makes a pretense of shutting
his eyes to it, the policy of protection
has been reduced to a practical and
theoretical absurdity. The stone now set
rolling will not stop till the idol of protection
is broken to pieces.
A Year From Now.
Paris, December 7.—Presi ent Carnot
has indicated that a general election will
probably be held towards the end of
1888.
