GRATIFICATION IN WASHINGTON.
Party Lengeru say Bailey is Needed
at Conventiom.
Washington. March 30.— (Special.)—
Senator Bailey’s many friends among
the Texas delegaton and the Demo-
crats of both branches of congress, ex-
press much gratification at the out-
pouring of the Texas Democrats at
Fort Worth last Saturday to sustain
and uphold Senator Bailey's hand as
a great party leader by sending him
as a delegate at large to the Denver
convention Senator Bailey’s substi-
tute for the Aldrioh bill, besides re-
ceiving the indorsement oR Mr. Bryan,
received the vote of very Democratic
senator. It wap voted upon last Fri-
day. ‘
The doctrine announced in that bill
and in the senator's speech is ex-
pected to be the basis of the financial
plank in the next Democratic national
platform. Under the clreumsences
Democrats generally express them-
selves as anxious that Senator Bailey
should have a hand in writing the
next platform, for it is recognised that
he may do as much at Denver as he
did at St Louis four years ago to
prevent an open break in the party.
By an expresson on the financial
question embracing Bslley’s and Bry-
an's government currncy plan it fa
believed a platform can be written
which will be equally satisfactory to
the Democrats of every section and
unite them in support of Mr. Bryan
for Preeident. F. H. A
The Bisest and Beet.
Wharton, Texas, March 30.—(Spe-
cial.)— Dr. J. M. Andrews returned last
night from the Balley meeting at
Fort Worth. He expressed himself as
highly elated over the result of the
meeting; that there was the largest
gathering of men he had ever seen
brought together in his life, ech.an
every one an enthusiast in his de-
termination that Democracy should
conquer.
It is expected that Senator Bailey
will accept the invitation of Whar-
ton citzens to speak here and if he
does, excursion trains will be run
in here from surrounding counties,
giving the people in this section an
opportunity to hear him.
Kaiser Believes Satisfactory fiettlement
Can Be Reached.
Venice. March 80—The German em-
peror. before leaving for Corfu tonight,
said that a satisfactory settlement
would be reached in regard to the ap-
pointment of Dr. Hill as American am-
bassador at Berlin, as he had no per-
sonal objection to him. The statement
that Dr. Hill was opposed to Germany
during The Hague conference, he be-
lieved to be unfounded. Dr. Hill, as
American ambassador at The Hague,
had but little part in the conference.
Brit tab Press Comments.
London. March 81.—All the London
papers are now in possession of the
latest phases of the Hill incident, but
for the most part they refrain from
comment. The Daily News, however.
In an editorial, says that the emper-
or's whisper carries farther than the
thunders of other men. •
“It all goes to show “ it says, "that
the emperor should neither write to his
friends or talk freely at the dinner
table, as he is a man of impulsive tem-
perament and singularly unfitted for
a role where discretion is the supreme
virtue." 2
The Daily Express days: “The diplo-
macy of the dinner table is a palpable
anachronism. To have it reognzed
that a plan is not fitted to be an am-
bassador unless he is wealthy and con-
sumed with a desire to spend on lavish
entertainments is to put back the hands
of the elock of history. President
Roosevelt will not be the man we take
him for it he doe, not bring down the
big stiek on this parteular cabal.

oughly honest man.
‘We Populists are viewing the con-
test as mere observers, and Cyclone
Davie is mistaken when he thinks he
can deliver 100,000 Populists against
Senator Bailey. The Popullsts cannot
be delivered by anybody. The most of
them, according to my best information,
will refrain from participating in the
May* primary for delegates at large,
and of those who go into the primary,
some will vote for Senator Balley. Many
of them, while opposing him as a Dem-
ocrat. still have state pride and they
all respect the will of the people. Mr.
Balley la a senator from Texas, and
they oppose heartfly the movement
“which aims only to injure his standing.
If the full vote of 40.1,000 should be
cast. I think it safe to say that not
morethan 100,000 will be polled against
Mr. Bailey.

PrGrce Brown was a tarmer’s daugh-

in the same factory with Gillette. Al.

attention her companions were not
long in recognising that she was some-

Gillette and hie promise of marriage
eventually led to her undoing, and in
the summer of 1906 she went home to
prepare for her wedding, which she
felt could not long be postponed. It
was during her stay at hsr home in
South Otselic that she wrote him the
remarkable series of letters which were
found among Gillette's effects after his
arrest.
In these outpourings of her soui she
breathed he poignancy of her sorrow,
and her sweetness of girlish youth,
faith and self-sacrifice were ever ap-

her lover to come to her, saying that
she had been brave, but was beginning
to feel discouraged. In spite of her
suffering she thought first of all of
him, and how she might lessen any
burden that he was destined to bear.
“I am as lonesome for you as—oh, as
I thought I'd be. I don't believe you’ve

Washington, March 30. — With a
view to bringing to a close the gos-
sip connected with the reported dis-
approval in Berlin of the appointment
of Dr. David Jayne Hill as ambassat
dor, and of terminating the incident.
Baron Von Sternberg, the German am-
bassador, called at the White House
tonight by appointment to see Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Root.
Assistant Secretary Bacon was pres-
apt. At the conclusion of the confer-
ence the following statement was
given out:
“In addition to th communication
already made publio from the Ger-
man foreign office, the German am-
bassador has also conveyed to the
American government the assurance
of the emperor that there has never
been any change in his attitude to-
ward Mr. Hill. The emperor’s favora-
ble opinion of Mr Hill was communi-
cate to the Washington administra-
tion last November and his attitude has
never changed since.
"Apparently some remarks in a cas-
ual conversation have been distorted
by gossip and exaggerated by rumor
so as to give an erroneous impression
on the whole matter.”
"The two governments have never
shared ths misunderstanding. The de-
sign of the President and secretary of
.Stats in choosing Mr. Hill was to choose
the man who. of all the men in the
diplomatic service, was best fitted for
this place, a position the very first in
honor and responsibility, and one to
which, therefore. It was deemed well to
senA e -kinea dplomat a German
scholar who had served with signal
ability as assistant secretary of state
under John Hay. and as foreign min-
ister in two successive posts. in ths
last of which he had rendered marked
service in connection with The Hague
peace conference. This purpose is. And
has always been, fully appreciated by
the emperor personally and in Germany
at large."
The nomination of Dr Hill as Ameri-
can ambassador to Germany will be
sent to ths senate tomorrow, accord-
ing to the plan agreed upon tonight.
At present no time has been fixed for
the retirement of Ambassador Tower,
but it is expected Dr. Hill will succeed
him some time in May.
It was stated tonight that the deter-
mination of the administration is to
make clear that the great diplomatic
positions are not to be treated as posi-
tions to be held only by millionaires,
but so far as possible, as rewards for
faithful service to the public in lower

was missing. His clothing and baggage
were dry. The next day he went on an
excursion with the young women from
Cortland whom he had promised to
meet. *
Alarm wa felt in Big Moose over the
failure of Gillette to return with the
boat he had rented and search was
made the next day. The boat was found
floating bottom up near shore in a se-
cluded part of the lake, with a woman's
wrap spread over the bottom. The lake'
was dragged and the body of Grace
Brown was found about 300 feet from
the snore. Gillette subsequently was
arrested at Eagle Bay. July 14
The trial began at Herkimer at a spe-
cial term of the supreme court Nov. 12.

guilty of murder in the first degree and
sentenced to death. The prosecution
presented a chain of evidence which
the defense was unable to break down.
Gillette, who testified, denied none of
the evidence except the actual killing
of the girl. He said she had urged
him to merry her, but that he was not
in a position to do so et that time as
he had but scant means and his mar-
riage would mean the loss of his po-
sition in the factory. He said the girl
arose in the boat, declaring that she
would end the matter then and there,
and leaped overboard. The boat was
overturned, he claimed, and although
he mads offorts to eave the girl from
drowning he was unable to do ta The
evidence showed that the water was
but a few feet deep. Upn his failure
to rescue the girl he said he had waded

his baggage by saying that he had left
it on the bank whore they had partaken
of some alight luncheon. The tennis
racquet, with which the prosecution
claimed he dealt the girl's death blow,
was found hidden in the woods after
