The tion the National guard in joining hands with the Grand Army in tlie observance of the day has acted as a spark that has tired the patriotism of the whole people.

There was scarcely a clnirch in the city that ilid no: memorial services yesterday, SH)U people- turned out to take pun in exercises at the Exposition building yesterday afternoon, every dier'fi pruve that could be found decorated this morning, the flag was tainted on the lake front, and there wi. a parade this afternoon which anything of the kind 'attempted in thin city in many years. In fact it is doubtful if the day was ever before so generally observed in Milwaukee.

Even the weather HCemi'd to have been ordered for the occasion. The bright sunshine, after days cloudiness, mnde it a pleasure to lie out of doors, and she cool breeze enabled tin- people in Ihe parade to march witliout fatigue. Tito I'ararie.

Dun-ant would attend the execution 1-ns exi-itL-d iun extraordinary amount of comment. She still maintains her determination to be near her son when the uual moment arrives. Sacramento, June passing upon the application of Theodore Durrani, coiiviett-d iif the murder of Blanche Lamoiit. fi.r executive clemency, Budd said: "1 have Carefully considered the evidence produced at Durraut'a trial. 1 have interviewed the witnesses and inquired into their characters and cnd- iliility; 1 have heard all statements uitide or offered by his attorneys and other persons wlio might be likely to inform me in this matter.

A careful and thorough investigation into the evidence in this c'ise and the facts and circumstances atlea.l- ing it has convinced me that it is not the proper east- for my interference. "No new evidence has been produced tending to show the innocsai'ce of P'ir- rant or creating a doubt as lo his guilt. 1 feel satisfied that his trial where he was found guilty by a jury was fair and surrounded and attended by all proper legal sail-guards and guarantees. "After eoiiferenee with the witnesses I inn convinced of their honesty and creililiility and from an examination of the evidence I feel that it was in itself sufficient character and extent to have justified the verdict and the judgment passed upon it. while in my investigation I found other material corroborating circumstances, not produced at the trial, which tended further to support the verdict.

"I'nder such circumstances, finding no irregularity in the trial of the case ami that the evidence justified verdict of guilty. I cannot do otherwise than follow tlie Supreme court and permit the verdict of the jury and the judgment of the lower court to stand." SCOBE OF DAMAGE SUITS. Claims Aggregating Grow Out of the Osceola Mine Fire.

The attorney for Mrs.

Mnlmstrom is M. M. Itiley of Milwaukee, the attorney who recently secured a verdict against the Tamarack company for Mrs. Grace Andrews, and who IIMS achieved fame as a anti- lawyer. The suit lirought by Mrs.

Malmstrom is the forerunner of what will aggregate the heaviest damage suits ever brought a mining corporation in this or in any other Thirty lives were lost by the fire and the damages will be placed' a i each, a total of Ollll. or nearly half of the value of the mine. Mr. Hiley has been gathering evidence fur the past eighteen months, or the suits would have been brought sooner.

Jealousy Costs Two New Orleans, June l.r-Samnel A. Jervis, a switchman "44 years old, fatally stubbed Mrs. Bertha Johnson, aged 30, this morning at the home of John Mc- 314 Newton street Algiers. Jervis then inflicted wounds In nil stomach and will die. Jervis was jeoloni of the woman and the killing was brought aboOt by the declaration of the ponuB ftjtt afte intended to quit Startling Testimony Intrdckiced at the Inquest Over Michael Pleva's Body, MURDER IS NOW CHARGED.

Kenosha Police Claim to Have Proo! that Pleva was Poisoned with Arsenic Kenosha. Jnne Two arrests have been made as a result of the peculiar death of Michael Pleva, who was at first supposed to have committed suicide, the claim being now that Pleva was Aurdered. John Deverkh and Peter Trenowski, acquaintances of the family, have been taken in custody on a charge' of being accessories to the alleged murder. The police say therf is every indication Pleva was poisoned. Some damaging testimony was introduced at the inquest yesterday afternoon.

At the opening of the inquest yesterday afternoon Dr. Windesheim testified that he and Dr. Pugh had held a post-mortem examination of Pleva and had found that all the organs of ills body were in a perfectly healthy condition. They then examined the stomach and contents and found arsenic there. Traces of arsenic were also found in material which had emitted from the stomach and in a coffee pot from whic-h Pleva had been served immediately prior to being taken sick.

Dr. Pugh simply corroborated the testimony of Dr. Windesheim. Both physicians pave it as their opinion that Plera had died of arsenical poisoning. Mrs.

Abramovsky testified tnat she had been a boarder in the Pleva house a couple of weeks ago and while she was there Mr. and Mrs. Plera had had frequent quarrels in which many hot words were passed over. These quarrels continued until a day or two before Pleva's death, when he turned a certain matter over to the police for investigation. The witness also told of the actions of Mrs.

Pleva On the day of the death. Mrs. Pleva came to her and said her husband seemed to have a sour stomach and that she would like something to settle it. Togeth er they went to a drug store and got some bicarbonate of soda. Witness not fro home with Mrs.

Pleva, but BO far an known the soda was not used. Later Mrs. Pleva came back and said her husband was dying. She had been away from the house much of the time her husband was sick. By the time she got home again Pleva was dead.

Mrs. Pleva then went for Treuowskl to come to the house to advise her what to do. Joseph Krcs, a boarder at the Pleva house, testifii to the fact that the coffee Pleva drank Friday morning was served from another coffee pot from that used for the rest at the same table. Mr. Pleva remarked upon the circumstance and complained of feeling sick immediately after swallowing the coffee.

He said his wife must have "put a devil in that coffee" to make him feel so bad. He soon began vomiting and had severe cramps and pains and wanted to drink great quantities of water. Shortly after Pleva had been taken sick Mrs. Pleva took the coffee pot he was served from and threw the contents out of doors. Michael Korabeck was on the stand this morning and testified that he worked with Pleva.

He said that on several occasions Pleva had told hiui that he had "many quarrels with his wife aud that he was afraid to eat at home for fear she would place poison in his victuals. Mrs. Pleva then took the stand and occupied it most of the forenoon. She detailed the circumstances of her husband's ileath and stated how he acted just before he died. She claimed that she did not know how the poison got into the coffee and several times she became considerably mixed in her testimony.

She waa asked why she had separate coffee pots at the table, and said that the boarders bought their own coffee and that for that reason she served it in separate pots. She admitted that it was the first time she had ever served it in that manner. The courtroom was eroded with curious people. Mrs. was taken into custody to await the action of the jury.

Kenosha, June The coroner's jury which inquired into the cause of the death of Michael Pleva brought in a verdict late yesterday aft- ornoou recommending that Mrs. Pleva be held to answer the charge of murder and that John Dereckh and Peter Tre- nokski be held ns accessories before the act. The two last named had been in jail for two or three days awaiting the verdict of the jury. Mrs. Pleva was placed under arrest immediately upon the announcement of the jury's verdict.

When placed under arrest she, did not show a sipn of emotion and seemed as stolidly indifferent as she had shown herself throughout the entire sickness and death and at the inquest over the remains of her husband. Mrs. Pleva had bee'i allowed to testify at the inquest. She claimed not to know anything about the arsenic being in her husband's coffee and said that during almost the entire time her husband was suffering from the effects of the poison she sat in a distant room and sewed, offering him very little assistance. She explained the presence of two coffee pots on tlie table the fatal day by saying that the boarders had purchased their stuff separately and she.

merely cooked it. The boarders bad testified that it was unusual to see two coffee pots on the table. In several important particulars Mrs. Pleva's memory failed her, while in others'she told several conflicting stories, Mrs. Plevn is a very unattractive woman.

She is very plain in looks and quite coarse in figure and is 29 years of age. She appears very stoical and seems to be more concerned about what the people have to say about her and the case than about her arrest. She has two bright children, one, a boy, being 8 years old and a girl 6 years of age. Michael Pleva, the victim, was 35 years of age and was a skilled tanner. Mrs.

Pleva, John Deveckh and Peter Trenowski will all be given a preliminary liearing on the charge of murder. SELECTED A SITE. Beformmtory to be Erected an tlu Libal Tract at Green Bay. Madison.

PRINCESS TROTJBETZKOY. (Better Known In America by Her Maiden Name, Amelia Rives.) She was taken to the sanitarium from her home in Virginia ten days ago, accompanied by her father, Col. her husband. Prince Troubetzky.

The celebrated authoress is confined to her bed and no one is permitted to sec her ex- cepi her nurse and physician. Amelie Rives became celebrated ten or twelve years ago, when her novel "The Quick or the Dead" appeared in Lippincott's Magazine. She was then 2o years old. A few months after the novel was published it was announced that she was engaged to marry John Armstrong Chanler of New York. Soon after the wedding in the summer of 1888 Mr.

and Mrs. Chanler went to Europe. After passing some time in traveling, Mrs. Chanler settled in Paris to study art under Charles Lasar. Her sojourn in Paris lasted two years.

Upon her return to this county rumors of domestic trouble became current, and in October, 1895, she obtained a divorce on the ground of incompatibility of temperament.

Manhattan Bank Robbers Offer to Return Securities for a Consideration. New York, May Joseph Bird of the Manhattan Savings bank of this city, who was paying teller of the bank October 27, 1878, when the bank was burglarized and robbed of $11,000 in cash and securities valued at $2,747,700, makes the startling announcement that he has been negotiating with men who represented the burglars and that they demand $50,000 and no questions to be asked for the return of the securities. Mr. Bird refuses to pay the amount. He says many of the securities are worthless today because the government by act of Congress authorized the secretary of the treasury to reissue duplicates in place of the stolen United States bonds.

There was a number of other bonds issued by cities and corporations, however. Some of these are due soon- and of course the bank wonld like to have the originals, as it wonld make it easier for it to collect the moneys involved.

BATTLES i tb0 annum Beported at Waupaca; that Investigating Committee Must Stand the Expense, COSTS IN GOLDBERG CASE. Taxpayers will Not Pay $3000 to $5000 if They Can Help Cited Waupaca, June Another sensation has developed ia the Goldberg case.

This time it ia one that pleases the taxpayers and the Goldberg; faction, but one that the investigating committee will not relish. CoL Thorn and his associates, it is predicted, will have reason, in the light of the developments, to wish that, they had left the investigation of Mr. Goldbers to richer if less relentless persons. The sensation consists of the discovery of the fact that the expenses of the long and costly trial will have to be borne, not by the taxpayers, but by the committee which instigated the investigation. County Offlcerm to be Certain heavy taxpayers, it reported, have been looking into the matter and have been advised by gome of-the ablest attorneys in the state that there is no law under which the costs of the trial can be loaded upon the and iipbn that advice they are preparing to enjoin the olncers of the 'county-if they attempt to paiy the costs.

Already the county- treasurer has been notified that if he honors any of the orders issued upon the certificates he'will have to do it'upon his personal responsibility, and he and his bondsmen will be liable. Litigation is certain to follow, it Is said, if tempt is made to have the costs paid, and the county board will be- enj'oined if it tries to make an appropriation to meet the expenses of the trial. It is held by thosa who take this view of the ease that the trial was a proceeding under the common law, and thit at common law the man who instigates disbarment proceeding must stand the cast; just as the respondent must stand-the cost of his defense. The trial a criminal proceeding, it held, nor a purely civil proceeding, but a quasi criminal proceeding under the common law. There- la no statute in this state on the subject of dij'nirments.

and it is maintained that" whert the statutes are silent on the sub-: ject no liability can be created. It is asr serted that the court can create pense for the county only in criminal cases and that in this case it had: no power to make such ail erpense. In Previous Dtabarinent Trial. If the court did not have the right to create the liability, it is urged, the county will have no right to meet it, qnd the taxpayers referred to will take steps to- estop the board if it seeks to pay. the expenses.

It is said that in the few disbarment cases this state has known those who began the dings have been obliged to stand the expense.

Disinterested people who know something about inch mat- ters and have made figures put the-cbst at from $4500 to $5000. people of Waupaca have had to stand the cost of some very expensive trials and they grown very tired of it. The investigating committee has been criticised for. making so large a bill in this ease, and- there are a good many people here; who will rejoice if the county escapes the load. They are not Goldberg sympathizers particularly, but they do not care- wno pays the costs, or whether they paid at all, if they SEAELES IS EELEATO Ida McKmley rom 'Wishinetc Held that Questions AakerJ a Sugar Trust Witness Were Not Pertinent.

Washington, D. June 'the: case of John E. Seanes, the. Sugar trust witness. Judge Bradley this morning ordered the jury to bring in a -verdict of ac-.

quittal, holding that the questions asked tbe witness by the Senate committee were not pertinent, and even if so, were not within the jurisdiction of the 'committee. The judge's opinion was exhaustive. It had been reduced to writing. He pointed out that Mr. Searlea had testified specifically that no money had been contributed by the Sugar trust to the national campaign or for' the purpose of influencing legislation or the election of United States senators.

As to the local contributions, Mr. Searlea had testified that he did not know how the contributions had been used, by whom or for what purpose. The questions put to the were claimed to be pertinent to the second and third divisions of the senatorial inquiry namely, as to whether the Sugar trust had contributed sums to campaign funds with the purpose of influencing the election of a United States senator and whether any senator had been a party to a compact with the Sugar trust. Certainly, tbe jndge said, a simple investigation as to whether the'Sugar trust had contributed to a campaign fund would be an unwarranted search into the private affairs of the company plainly beyond the power of the Sena'te. The Senate committee had reported that no testimony had been produced to show that the Sugar trust had made any contributions to.

any national campaign fund or for the purpose of affecting legislation. If money had gone for the purpose of electing members.of state Legislatures, who in time would elect a United States senator, it was beyond the power of the United States Senate to ge- behind the election of legislative members. If this were true as to state matters how much more true, was-it of local elections. It would be the wildest conjecture to assume that the money so contributed in any way had gone to make up the sugar schedule. It appeared from the report of thi committee that the members were not in the possession of any facts upon which they coukl base the most remote hope of showing an ultimate connection between the Sugar trust's contributions and tbe sagaj- schedule.

Under these circumstances it must be held that the questions asked were not pertinent, and if construed to be pertinent, that they were an unwarranted prying into the private affairs of the company and therefore beyond the jurisdiction of the Senate. Jndge Bradley therefore sustained the motion of the defense and ordered the jury to retrirn a verdict of acquittal. The jury accordingly rendered a verdict of not guilty and Mr. Searles was free.
