the News and Courier. Referring to his
speech at the Virginia conference, he
says: "John, you have the race questiou
to settle as to American born and foreign
born. With you it is a question with
your own people. With us it is the north
against Europe. You have a queer task.
The south lias been overrun by foreigners
indifferent to our institutions. That is what
is meant by '•the purest American blood
was to be found in the south, and be-
cause of this it miirttf be that the south
Would have to march forth in defense of
our dearest institutions, and I have been
saying this in the north for the past 20
years on many public occasions. It was
a joy to me that 1 found the young men
in Florida, in the Carolinas, Georgia and
Virginia loyal to the union. I suggested
to the administration to put men in office
in the south of high repute, who will
promote southern prosperity, intelligence
and reliei3n. It is rumored that Harri-
son is about to eirrv out this plan re-
gardless of party lines in the south.

low fever in Florida in view of the case
reported at Sanford yesterday. "1
fhould not be surprised if there were
a considerable number of cases. Trie
danger chiefly lies in towns and cities
which escaped the plague last year. In
ulaces visited there is a large proportion
of acclimated residents who have had
the fever and are therefore safe." Are
you prepared to manage the outbreak
should it occur. "Yes much better than
ever before. Already I have received
messages of inquiry showing the alarmed
condition of the public feeling for which
theeria no foundation. The surgeon genet al
added that the state authorities were also
much better prepared than ever before
and that there is no evidence of a desire
to conceal the facts which proved so dis-
astrous last year."

A Crook Caught.*
Am.entown, Pa,, April 24 — Ex-Bur-
gess Phillips Storm, of Catasauqua, was
arrested last evening on a capias charging
him with having assisted in defrauding
the Catasauqua Manufacturing Company
out of $12,800. A capias has also been
issued for the arrest of John W. Hopkins,
present burgess of Catasauqua, but he
cannot be found. Hopkins is assistant
superintendent of the Catasauqua Manu-
facturing Company, and weighed the
scraps of iron furnished by Storm. He
made false entries, and the money paid
for scrap iron in excess of what the com-
pany actually received, it is alleged, has
been divided by Storm and Hopkins.
Storm was placed under $13,000 bail. The
amount of scrap iron paid for and not
received amounted to 1,493,105 pounds.
The fraud has been carried on since 1886.

At 10 o clock yesterday morning coun-
cil met, with Mayor Hubbard presiding
and Aldermen Dolan, Caples. Johnson.
Freudenthal and Miller present, and
resumed the taking of testimony looking
to the discovery of illegal votes. Officer
C. B. Patterson, who is well acquainted
in the First ward, was put upon the
stand. He testified that he had made a
canvass of the ward in search of the
fifty-three alleged illegal voters and had
only succeeded in discovering two of the
men as legal voten; that he knew otbert
wliose names were on the list
and knew them to be illegal voters.
After he had been thoroughly eximined
W. M. Chandler commenced his , usual
wordy and nonsensical practice, which
resulted in nothing except to delay mat-
ters and irritate the witness and cause
him to sit abruptly down upon the
"Roscoe?" of the Texas bar. When
Chandler was insisting that the unknown
parties must be legal voters, because
Officer Patterson was not acquainted
with somebody who once upon a time
roomed ij the Merrick building, Mr. Pat
tersou said:
"Ichallenge you to produce these men.
If they live here and are entitled to vote
why don't you 3how them up?"
Mr. Chandler had not been fishing
around for that question, and did not
know whether to look silly or affect
wisdom But he soon discovered that he
had enough of Mr. Patterson, and was,
ready for another witness.
the directory man has a say.
J. G.«Rowe, business manager of the
El Paso Directory Company was next
called to the stand and interrogated by
Judge Edwards. The main interroga-
tory was as to whether he had made a
thorough canvass of the city for residents
thereof for the forthcoming directory
The answer was in the affirmative that a
painstaking inquiry had been made and
the names of all bona fide citizens who
could be found taken.
In regard to theunlocatedand doubtful
voters a part of which list Judge Ed
wards asked for testimony on, the wit.-
ness located Major, Thorn, Hierl, John-
son, Colguist, Goodrich and Hirt. The
balance of a list of twenty or more all
having American or trins-atlantfe names
he testified he had not found in the ward
as residents, and of whom he said one
had told him he was going to Socorro.
New Mexico,another to Phoenix. Arizona,
and a third had been heard
of, but not found, in the ward. The tes.
tiuiony was plain and positive.
When Judge Edwards concluded with
the witness the legal extravaganza, Judge
Chandler, in his usual step ladder style
went aloft. He did not, however, inter-
rogate the witness on the names not ac-
counted for in the First ward on Judge
Edwards' list, but set out to badger the
witness on technicalities. In trying to
make him (the witne-s) say that because
a-few prominent names escaped his ob-
servation in the first work scores of
obscure people'living in the city were
left out, his nibs made a sorry bid.
After days upon days of .digging only a
few names were found not contained in
the old directory, and the witness chal-
lenged the attorney to produce any nums
ber worth speaking of and defied him to
so manipulate the interrogatories as to
convince anyone present that he (wit-
ness) was testifying to anything but the
accuracy of his canvass for residents
(not voters) of the city. The whole aim
seemed to be centered on making this
witness commit an .error that coy Id bo
taken advantage of, but he had truth
and disinterestedness on his side, and on
several occasions had Chandler in awk-
ward legal and personal positions.
Last night city council was again in
session and examined a number of wit-
nesses, but still failed to discover the
whereabouts of those who cast the chal
lenged votes.
At 10 O'clock council adjourned to
meet again this morning at 9:30,
The Parnell Libel Case.
Dublin. April 24.—The case of Par-
nell against the London Times for libel
has been expunged from the cases await-
ing trial before the high court of f justice
in Ireland.
