(J.-Dr. Norvin Green, president of the Western Union Telegraph company, in an interview with a United Press reporter on the question of the establishment of a postal telegraph service by an arrangement with the postofflce department and the Western Union Telegraph company, stated that he had not completed any arrangements with the postmaster general looking to the establishment of a postal telegraph system. Continuing, tbo doctor said: "X will not deny that it was in regard to such a proposition that I went to Washington. The fact of the matter is that Postmaster General Wanamaker has an idea that he can utilize his free delivery system to advantage in handling and delivering messages. I do not think that such a thing is possible, as I am not aware that it is his intention of employing a separate force to transact the telegraph portion of the business. There is nothing in the statement that I went to Washington to complete the details of a plan arranged between Mr. Gould and the postmaster general at the Saratoga conference. Postmaster Genoral Wanamaker had an idea that he could handle a vast amount, of Iclographlc matter by the postofllco ofllcials, and on a visit which he paid to Mr. GD Duld at Saratoga he suggested the plan to him. Mr. Gould said the plan was worth considering. That was all that passed between them at Saratoga. I went up to Saratoga aud had some talk with Mr. Wanamaker. There were no negotiations contemplated or understood, because there has been no act of congress passed authorizing the postmaster general to make any. There was an idea that some such plan might be submitted to congress, and the postmaster general simply put himself in communication with the telograph companies in order to obtain information on the subject. I believe he has talked with other telegraph men besides myself." Terry. Batteries: Keefe and Ewing, Russie and Som mere. At Boston—*" Identified. Special Telegrams to 4 P, M.

The Cost of the Trouble Now Seven and Loxdon, Sept. 6.—Little by little the German army is boing increased and one army Corps after another is being added to its effective strength. Since the opening of the year no less than four corps have been added and now the emperor has given orders for the formation of a fifth, with headquarters at Bomberg, ou the eastern frontier. This move is evidently intended as a reply to Russia, who continues to mass her troops upon her western frontier, and in this way Emperor William serves notice upon the czar that he does not mean to be caught napping. Saw Francisco, Sept 6.—In the trial of Deputy Marshal Nagle for the killing of ex- Judge Terry, Justice Field testified as follows: "Deputy Nagle and myself entered the dining room at Lathrop for breakfast, and soon after taking our seats Judge Terry and his wife entered. As they passed down the aisle Mrs. Terry glanced at me for a moment, and then turned about and left the place. Judge Terry seated himself, but arose immediately and came toward me. Before realizing what he intended to do I felt a powerful blow on my cheok. I turned around and saw Terry's giant form towering over 'me with his clenched fist upraised. I then heard Nagle say, 'Stop, I am an officer.' I then heard two pistol shots in quick succession, and saw Terry fall to the floor. I was dazed for a moment, but soon realized that Terry had received a death wound, and arose and left the room."

At Brooklyn— The midwife had said she would be able tc recognize the babe by certain peculiarities tc which "Mrs. Hamilton" had objected at thC time of the barter and sale. The ears were large and projecting and were slightly deformed in their upper portion. The midwife was as good as her word. No sooner did she lay eyes on the little one at Mrs. Rupp's cottage than she exclaimed that it was the same baby she had sold to "Mrs. Hamilton" and she pointed to the ears as proof of hor truthfulness.Brooklyn..

The German press comments upon this latest move of the emperor are full of significance. It is pointed out that, contrary to the usual custom in such cases, there is no attempt at concealment. The emperor seems to have taken special pains to give the fullest possible publicity to his plan to mass a formidable force on Russia's frontier, and this the German press accept as a note of defiance.Emperor William's Defiancc.

She said that Eva had change so much for the worse in appearance that she hardly know her. She quickly identified a photograph of her, however, as that of the woman who had bought the baby. She said that on that occasion "Mrs. Hamilton" remained at her house more than an hoar, while the baby was being brought from the place where it was cared for. Terry Meant to Murder Him. Mrs. Maybrick's health has so far improved that the physician at the Woking prison, where she is confined, has discharged hei from the infirmary, and she now occupies n solitary cell. Justice Field further testified that he believed that if Nagle had not shot Terry he (Field) would have been dead within the next .five seconds. The expression of Terry's face when ho raised his hand to strike a second blow could not be mistaken. It was full of malice and murder. Justice Field declared that he had never had any difficulty with Terry prior to the Sharon decision a year ago. They had been on the most friendly terms. Terry had often tried cases before him, and on entering court had always spoken pleasantly. During the last year or two, however, he seemed to have entirely changed and to have lost his respect for the courts. J ustice Field added that the story of his having oskod Terry to support him fpr president some years ago was pure fiction. The more sensational of the Berlin papers go so far as to say that this indicates a determination on the part of the emperor to force Russia's hand. Should Russia roply by further increasing her force 011 the German and Austrian line, as is confidently expected, the crisis will bo precipitated before the end of the year.  A Crlfci* Near at Hand.

Dr. Green said that it was the intention of Mr. Wonamaker to connect all the postoffices in the country and receive and deliver messages just the same as a telegraph company. The idea was to obtain these wires from the telegraph company and pay the company a percentage of tho receipts from the business handled. The Western Union would continue to do business at the old stand and one of the advantages to them, if the arrangement is comploted, will be the saving of terminal expenses. The postoffice telegraph department would, of course, endeavor to do the business at a lower rate than that which is now charged, but he had no fear of this competition, and, in fact, seemed to ignore entirely the idea that the government would successfully cope with his company in tho telegraph field. Dr. Green did not think that they would get any business except in places whore the Western Union had no office, and very little there. The service, be thought, would be second class.

Those effected are very sick, and the poison manifis's itself in severe internal gripings. The case is attracting much attention and efforts will be made to secure a prosecution of those guilty of the poisoning, should it bo proven to be intentional. Inspector Byrnes said that the midwife had acted with entire proprioty in the matter, having promptly come forward when she heard that a wrong had been committed, and having told the polico all that she knew about it. He refuse to give to the press he) name or that of the mother of the child, although both aro likely to be revealed in the proceedings in court.

Franks on the case. On April 27 he drew Mr. Franks' attention officially to the case, and asked him, in case further developments arose, to exerqise unusual caution for the protection of Justice Field or whoever might be called upon to determine the matter. "Josh" Manu, under the salutary effects ol couiincment, has further unburdened him self to Inspector Byrnes. He makes certain statements which, if true, prove beyond any controversy that "Mrs. Hamilton" cannot have been the mother of Beatrice, if the lat ter was really born at the time stated in tht record of baptism. Mann is considerably broken down, and is now disposed to tell all he knows about "Mrs. Hamilton." Natchez, Miss., Sept. 1.—Another violent race we r is repot ted to have broken out in Leflore coutty, this State.

He thinks that she never loved Mr. Hamilton and still is fond of himself. Soon after hor marriage with Mr. Hamilton she showed to Mann the papers which the former had signed, securing his fortune to the child, to be absolutely controlled by the wife, and she exclaimed: How is This Mr. Graham t "Many things which have happened," he added, "indicate that violence on the part of Mr. and Mrs. Terry may not be impossible.

Postmaster General Wanamaker and Governor Beaver were among the other speakers at the celebration. " """■ Inspector Byrnes declares that there is nc evidence whatever to justify a charge of Intended murder against the conspirators. He added very significantly, however, that h« thought there wa« nothing under the sun sc bad that they would not do if they could muster up sufficient courage. Sensational statements have been published to the effect that the plot to impose a fraudulent child upon Mr. Hamilton as his own also included the purpose of murdering him after he had by will or otherwise placed all his property within the grasp of the conspirators. Then is no foundation save theory for these statements. The murderous purpose attributed to the conspirators is only in keeping with the character of "Mrs. Hamilton." It is not believed that oither "Josh" Mann 01 "Mother" Swinton has the courage to undertake such a crime. Costly Work of an Electric Storm, "Nagle well knew Terry's violent character and skill with weapons. When he saw good reason to believe that Terry, so far from being deterred by his official warning to 'stop,' was desperately determined to take the life of Justice Field and his (Nagle's) own life, he prevented it in the only way any reasonable person conversant with the facta will pretend ho would have done. It will be clearly shown that there were not two seconds between Justice Field's life and the shot from Nagle's pistol that saved it." Justice Field's Close Call.
