Mr. Bryce, of New York, had read s telegram from Mayor Hewitt, of New York, denying that he had ever apologized to thC British minister for having offered a resolution of inquiry as to the case of O'Donnell, under sentence of death in England. Tha telegram read as follows: Niw York, May 9.—The general conference has in session at the Metropolitan Opera House eight days, and the work of determining who are its members is not yet completed. Yesterday the report of the second committee on disputed seats was taken up and considered seriatim. Some of its recommendations were disposed of, but one or two remain to be acted on to-day. The cases referred to this committee were all, save thoee of the women, cases In which the legality of the election was disputed. Worcester, Mass., May 9.—That poor Lillie Hoyle was deliberately drugged and then choked to death in the moment of her recovered consciousness is the latest story of the confession Alice Hoyle is said to have given to the government in explanation of the mysterious murder of her sister in Webster.Lexington, May 9.—An extra race was added yesterday to make up for the small fields of the regular programme.

She says they also dined together at a French cafe in the evening, not leaving the place until after 11 o'clock. After that she says that Mr. Hatch accompanied her to her home, and went to her room With her, on a search for burglars. Mr. Scofleld, her husband, was down stairs, and demanded to know who vy in the room with her. She went down stairs and spoke to him, persuading him to leave the house. It presents young Tom McQuade before the world in the role of an unscrupulous villain and Dixon R. Cowle as his paid hireling in the commtaion of a foul murder, deliberately planned and ingeniously covered up. There is nothing in fflle past lives of either of these men to lead-one to believe either was capable of so wicked a crime, and McQuade's friend are accusing the government of publishing the story to create in the public mind a prejudice against the prisoners.

Walden, of Chattanooga. Dr. J. M. Buckley, who has all along been an uncompromising foe to the admission of women to the general conference, relented a little, and offered a resolution, which was adopted, providing that the conference pay all the expenses of tbe rejected women delegates. But when Dr. A. J. Kynett offered a similar resolution, of which Mrs. H. Stone, a reserve delegate from South India, was to have been the beneficiary, it was tabled. It Was Not Caused by an Unpleasantness With Any One. When she returned to her room she fays she found the door locked, and decided that Mr. Hatch had made his escape through the window, and thence to the ground by way of a tree. When she forced the door he was gone. She thinks he was scared when he heard her husband's voice, and wanted to •void encountering him, as he feared he would if he went down the stairs. Washington, May 9.—Considerable speculation and gossip has been indulged in here as to the reasons that influenced the resign*-* tion of Superintendent Nash, of the railway mail service. The true cause wag that Mr Nash dalred to attend to his business interests in Wiscensiu. No other cause dictated his aotion, though many have been assigned, principal among them an unpleasantness with Mr. C. K. Faulkner, of Indiana, a chief of division in the pension office. RACING IN ENGLAND. London, May 0.—At the Chester meeting yesterday the race (or the Moslyn 2-yearold plato was won by Lord Londonderry's brown Ally Wononah. Mr. M. Dawson's brown colt was second, and Mr. Benholra's brown filly Maid of Lorn third. There were ten starters. The story of the confession alleges that Alice Hoyle was In love with Thomas Mc- Quade; that the latter had been intimate with JUllie and was responsible for her condition. She insisted on a marriage, and when McQuade refused her she threatened to expose him. Dixon Cowie, Llllie's uncle, it alleges, was hired to assassinate her, and the plan was to use a drag. Both men were careful to anticipate a discowr? of the crime by being able to account for themselves the night the girl was put to death. McQuudo went to-Oxford with Sherlock, called on several young ladies and returned to Webster late in the evening, and Cowie invited young Grimley to sleep with him and so testify. That night Cowie drugged the beer which Lillle Hoyle drank in his room, and it made her unconscious. At this point Alice Hoyle unexpectedly entered the room and saw her sister's condition, but was assured by Cowie that nothing was wrong; Her explanation of his death ir that In Jumping from the window to the tree he ■lipped and fell to the stoned paved yard, a distance of almost twenty-five feet, and fractured bis skull. Tuesday's baseball games. pOYAl The report of the oommlttee on contested seats was taken up under suspension of the rules. The most interesting cases considered were those of John M. Phillips, of the firm of Phillips & Hunt, of this city, and ex-Governor Robert E. Pattison, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Phillips was elected as a lay representative of the Mexico conference, and Mr. Pattison as a lay representative of the North India conference. The name of J. M. Cornell,  resident of New York and reserve delegate of the Italy conference, was before the committee, but was omitted entirely from the reports. Two reports were presented on the cases of Phillips and Pattison. As early as Maroh 1 Mr. Nash verbally tendered his resignation to Postmaster General Dickinson, but at the earnest solicitation of Mr. Dickinson he withheld it until certain mail contracts then being negotiated with western railroads were closed. On April 1C he formally wrote his resignation, which again Mr. Dickinson asked him to withhold for six weeks or two months. This Mr. Nash said he couldjnot do, but would remain in the service a reasonable time until Mr. Dickinson could decide upon bis successor. This the postmaster general bos not yet been able to do.

Mr. Hatch had a wife and children living in New York, and moving in the highest society, and the affair oannot fail to cause great distress to his family and friends, aside from their grief at his death. Uncle Sam Will Protect the Interests of All American Citizens. Washington, May 9.—In compliance with a senate resolution calling (or the information, Secretary Bayard has sent to the senate copies of a correspondence which has been in progress for several years between representatives of the United Htates government and those of the French government, in regard to the enforced military service required by Franoe of naturalized American citizens of French birth, or American born citizens of Frenoh parentage, who, in visiting France, may be discovered by the authorities there. "No referenoe," says Mr. Hewitt, "was ever made to this matter on the floor of the house." Continuing, be states that the resolution Introduced by Mr. Brumm instructing the foreign affairs committee to inquire whether he had apologized to the British minister was reported back with the statement that the committee had been unable to obtain any such information. Mr. Hewitt encloses with his letter newspaper extracts •ad a letter from the British minister in which the minister says that he—Hewitt—not only made no apology to him, but that he urged favorable conderation of the resolution.The following is the text of the letter of Postmaster General Dickinson, accepting the resignation of Thomas E. Nash as general superintendent of the railway mail service: Postoffice Department, I Washington, D. C., May 8, 1888. ( POLITICAL NEWS. Eleven members of the committee reported that they could find nothing in the rules of the church requiring that lay delegates should reside within the limits of the conference they represented. In consideration of this fact, therefore, and of the good faith of the conferences that elected Messrs. Phillips and Pattison, they recommended that those gentlemen be seated, but that a modification of the rules be submitted to the annual conferences, making extra territorial representation in the general conferences hereafter unlawful. A precedent for the majority report was found in the action of the conference of 1884, recognizing Stephen Barker, of New York, as a representative of the Italy conference. As Lillie revived, he sent Alice into the next room for a piece of ootton cloth, which he saturated and held to the gasping girl's mouth. She was soon unconscious. Then she was removed from the house to the carriage and borne rapidly out of town. The cool night air revived her and she uttered loud and terrible screams. Ready hands then clutched the struggling girl's throat, and a murder was committed. After a drive of over two miles the body was secreted in the Conventions of Both Parties Held Id &AKlHC POWDER Grand Rapids, Mich., May 9.—The Republican state convention passed resolutions reaffirming Republican principles and requesting the Michigan delegates to Chicago to do all they honorably can In support of ex- Governor Alger's presidential candidacy. R E. Fraser, of Detroit; John K. Boise, of Hudson; W. (j. Atwood, a colored man, of Saginaw, and T. B. Dunston, of Houghton, were elected delegates at large to the Chicago convention. The Blaine sentiment was everywhere apparent in the oonvention, and the mention of his name onoe or twice caused a perfect uproar of applause. Denver, Colo., May 8.—The state prohibition convention here elected delegates to the Indianapolis convention. No instructions were given. Various Places. My Dear Sir—Knowing as I do from repeated interviews with you since I came to office not onlv your earnest wish to be relieved of the duties of the place you honor, but also the urgeocy of the private affairs which have long needed your attention, it is but a tardy act of justice to you that I formally consi4er the tender of your resignatioa. The cases of John Fruchier, John Pierre Arbioe, John F. Gerard and Albert F. Geudrot are covered by the correspondence. Arblos was born In Franoe, but his father came to America and was naturalized during the son's minority. Fruchier and Gerard were naturalized Amorican citizens of several years' residence In this country. Geudrot was born at Cambridge, Mass., of French parents, who passed a good portion of his minority in this country. A longer acquaintance with and experience of your rare ability, your industry, tact, patience and strength in the difficult administration of one of the most important branches of the service, and the benefit I have derived from your ttaueh aid and helpful counsel in the solution of new and grave questions which have arisen in the administration of the affairs of this department, have tended to delay and make more reluctant this consideration. It Is with the utmost regret that I now admit that to longer keep you in the service would be to call for an added sacrifice on your part which neither the country nor myself can justly claim. corn crib. Cowie kept his engagement with Grimley. The oommiBslon of the murder, the drive to and from the corn crib and the hiding of the body were accomplished before 11 o'clock. The final chapter in this cold blooded tragedy relates to Alice Hoyle. She shielded Tom McQuade because of her love for him. As he promised to marry her, she lied when the detectives interviewed her. In concluding his letter Mr. Hewitt says: I suppose that this statement disposes in full (although I know it will continue to be repeated) of the malicious slander or which I have been the victim. If this letter and these documents can be inserted In The Record, there will at least be a complete and final official denial of the falsehood which has been many times repeated in the newspapers, but, so far as I kuow, has never before been uttered on the floor of the house. Absolutely Purea A minority of six submitted a report opposing the admission of Messrs Phillips and Pattison. The minority didn't believe that a single unfortunate precedent should be made the basis of a pernicious custom. Rather, a new and more logical precedent should be set. If the theory of extra territorial representation were adhered to it would make Bishop Taylor's converts on the banks of the Congo eligible as repreeentati ves of any conference.This powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wholesomeness. More economical than th ordinary kinds, and cannot be sold in eompetltlon with the multitude of low test, short weipfht alum or phosphate powders. Sold only in caru. In each of these cases the American minister has been directed to lay the matter before the French authorities and detmand the release of the citizen, together with such other relief as the circumstances may seem to require, and the reply of the French minister has uniformly been in effect that the question of allegiance was one over which the administration had no jurisdiction, and which must be settled by the courts. They set forth that under French principles citizenship is conferred by parentage and not by the place of birth, and that expatriation of the French citizen requires the consent of the French government. Andovbr, N. Y., May 9.—The Allegany county Republican convention, held at Wellsville, elected the following delegates to the state convention: Frank 8. Smith, of Angelica, secretary of the Republican state committee; A. B. Cottrell, of Richburg, the present member of assembly from the county; W. Moses, of Granger; W. J. Glenn, editor of The Cuba Patriot; C. H. Fisher, of Wellsville; W. E. Hammond, of Caneida; W. J. McMullen, of Boliver, and A. W. Lltehard, of Rushford. No instructions were given, and the delegates express no preference for presidential candidate. McQuade put oil the marriage, which discouraged the girl, and her conscience told her to speak. McQuade left home to resume his studies in New York, Cowie went to Meriden, and she was left alone to face the officers of the law, the inquiries of friends, and to restrain the dictates of her conscience. She gave way under the pressure at last, confessed all she saw and knew, and then broke down completely and went into seclusion. Royal Baking Powdzh Co.. 106 Wall St., N. T. Mr. Bryce thought these documents were sufficient to disprove the charges brought •gainst a relative of his by marriage and an honorable gentleman. In acoeptlng your resignation, to take effect on the appointment of your successor, it is fitting that I should bear testimony to your unselfish devotion to the publlo Interest, to your conservative amd safe judgment In important business affair*, and to your steadiness and bravery In doing right always. Very respectfully yours, Don M. Dickinson, Postmaster General. Hon. Thomas E. Nash, General Superlntent Railway Mall Service. LOW RATES Mr. Woodbuin, of Nevada, said that he did not regard the British minister's denial as a denial of the charge; in fact, it was an admission. It was no better authority than the gentleman's statement that he was a relative by marriage to A. S. Hewitt. He had been informed by a reputable gentleman, who was one of the committee delegated by an Irish organisation of America to investigate the truth of the charge made against Mr. Hewitt, that as a result of the investigation, he (bis informant) believed A. S. Hewitt guilty of the charge. Upon this he (Woodburn) had made the charge, and he would not take it back. He needed better authority to do so than the letter over the signature of A. 8. Hewitt, the defendant in the case. —FOli— In the debate which followed the conference divided pretty much as it did on the woman question, and nearly all who had opposed the admission of women favored the conservative interpretation of the constitution that would have excluded Messrs. Phillips and Pattison. LAUNDRY WORK. This is what the police claim to be the substance of Alice Hoyle's confession. When the final vote was reached the minority report was adopted—808 to 110. This excludes Mr. Phillips and ex-Uovernor Pattison. Boston, May 9. •-While the Rev. Dr. A. A.

Seriously Hart by » Runaway. The defense ridicule her story, and seemingly honestly. They say that Alice Hoyle did  love Tom McQuade, and that if she did love him it Is not reasonable to suppose she let her love save from exposure the man who had not only betrayed and deserted her sister, but who had also villainously conspired to accomplish her murder. The defense also urge that Cowie, however wicked a man ho may been, had not the nerve necessary to commit so terrible a crime upon one of his own flesh and blood. Upon these points Mr. Bayard has instructed Minister McLean to inform M. Flourens that the government of the United States holds that the decree of naturalization granted by it to a French citizen is not open to impeachment by the French government, either in its executive or judicial branch, and that if it is alleged to have been improvidently issued, the remedy is by application to the department of state. AT J. W. CLARK' St. Louis, May 0.—The Eighth congressional district Republicans chose delegates to Chicago. An attempt to instruct for Qresham was ruled out of order. Tbe only other case acted upon was that of Rev. W. A. Shannon, of the Montana conference, whose seat was contested by the Rev. F. A. Riggin. The majority of the committee recommended the seating of Riggin because of the apparent illegality of , certain votes cast for Shannon at the annual conference. The minority held that the evidence on this point was not conclusive. As before, the minority report was adopted, and Mr. Shannon will retain his seat. But the conference thought Mr. Riggin had suoh a good prima facie case that his expenses ought to be paid, and a motion to that effect was adopted. Wyoming Valley Steam Laundry Annapolis, Md., May 6.—The Anne Arundel county Democratic convention was called to order yesterday by Michael Bannon. Temporary Chairman Winterson refused recognition to a Second district delegate, one of the Dr. Wells faction. This created a row, and the Wells Democrats asserted their discontent with pistols and hammers, and in a Short time the court house was empty. Late in the afternoon the two factions—Wells and Bannon—held separate conventions, and each elected sets of delegates to the state and congressional conventions.

Further consideration of the committee's report was deferred while resolutions were read and adopted fitly commemorating the virtues of the two deceased delegates, Dr. C. J. Clark and Layman Leavitt Bates. Then the members of the conference sang in low tones, "I Would No! Live Alway." The air was that of "Home, Sweet Home." The effect of such a song in such a place was to produce in those who heard it strangely conflicting emotions.

The selling ditd out before the first call, however, and was followed by a buying movement, whioh resulted in a recovery to about the opening figures.

He criticized the Republicans for antagonizing every effort which the Democratic party had made to fulfill its pledges of tariff reduction. The bill was a wise, conservative measure which, while it would not break down the protective system, would give some relief to the overburdened people.

To this house had been committed a fearful responsibility. It was not a mere game to be played upon the checker board of Infinitesimal politics.
