THE MORNING OHEGONIAN. FRIDAY,, APRIL 26, 1901. STEAD SEES WAR CLOUDS PREDICTS TROUBLE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND AMERICA. -The Trouble, He Thinks, Will En courage the Boer to Keep Up Their Fight. LONDON, April 26. William T. Stead, in. an Interview with a representative of the Dally Mail yesterday, said: "The Boers are calculating upon Ens land's becoming embroiled with Russia, or some other complication. If I am not mistaken, -we are on the verge of a storm across the Atlantic that will rudely shat ter our peaceful calculations. When the TTnited States Congress meets, the Clay-ton-Bulwer treaty will be torn into shreds and thrown into our faces. We shall have to choose between .fighting or eating hum ble pie. The iirst serious discussion of the possibility of such a war will do more to keep the Boers In the field than all the speeches of all the pro-Boers in existence." IRISH EFFORTS UNAVAILING. Attempts to Have War Tax Reduced Met With Failure. LONDON, April 25. The House of Com mons had a dull sitting last evening, de voted to the passage of the budget reso lution. The Irish members made an In effectual attempt to get the tea duty re duced from 6 pence to 4 pence. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, Chancellor of the Ex ohequer, said he sympathized with the Indian producer and the Irish consumer, but, under existing conditions, he was unable to hold out a hope of reduction. The proposal was rejected by a vote of 221 to 140. A similar fate was reserved for the attempt of William Redmond to get Ireland exempted from the tobacco duty. It is -now asserted that an at tempt will be .made to induce the Chan cellor of the Exchequer to modify the coal duty by threats of a great strike of miners. The second reading of the finance bill has been proposed for a fortnight, and the National Liberal party will use the delay In working up an opposition to the budget. The opposition leaders Intend to raise a full-dress debate on the second reading, and then, if not before, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, according to the Daily Telegraph, will announce a substantial modification of his original proposals as to the sugar duty, in deference to the view of the grocery trade that the duty "will unfairly tax canned fruits, con densed milk and the like. Replying to a numerous and Influential deputation representing coal owners, min ers, shippers and merchants, assembled to protest against the export duty on coal, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach declared that while he had no intention of dropping th coal tax, the representations of the depu tation would be carefully considered by himself and his colleagues.

THE CUBAN PROBLEM. President Schurman Tells How the Americnns 3Iay Solve It. ITHACA, N. Y.. April 25. President J. G. Schurman spoke last night before the students of Cornell University in Library Hall on the Cuban situation. His recent return from the island where he spent two weeks enabled him to make the sub ject one of particular interest. After a re view of the general condition of the peo ple, he touched directly upon the question of the Cuban opposition to the Piatt amendment. He said in part: "It is the revolutionary Army and its supporters who are represented in the Constitutional Convention. That body is more radical than the Cuban people as a whole. If it hesitates to adopt the Piatt amendment, the people who own property on the island would nor. They feel that the Piatt amendment is indispensable to the peace and protection of the Island and the prosperity of Its people. Still I think great consideration should be shown for the men who won CuDan Independence, and, after all. the Constitutional Conven tion is the only organized body authorized to express Cuban sentiment and opinion. "I had the honor week before last of conferring with two large delegations from the convention,- In which were included all of the members of the committee now at Washington. Their complaint was three-fold; first they objected to the man ner in. which the Piatt amendment was forced1 upon them; secondly, they criti cised it as a limitation of the sovereignty rights of Cuba; thirdly, they deprecated the omission of a clause providing for freer commercial relations between Cu ba and the United States. - "The first objection, which is a matter of form, rather than of substance, is now irremediable, and we need not discuss its merits. I believe the second objection rests on a misapprehension which Presi dent McKlnley will In all probability be able to remove In a conference with the committee, for the Piatt amendment, while continuing the historical policy of the United States toward Cuba, may be fairly described as a guarantee of the independence of Cuba and the formulation of the means to pro tect It both against Invasion and domestic disorder. The third objection will In my judgment prove the hardest to overcome. "But the convention is not In a way of success when they propose a lower duty on sucar as a quid pro quo for their ac ceptance of the Piatt amendment, which is quite as advantageous to Cuba as to the United States. Let them, on the con trary, accept the Piatt amendment, which in substance Is indispensable to Cuba, as 1 it is expedient for the United States, and then let them appeal to the great heart of the American people to furnish a market with proper protection for home industries to the exports of their neighboring sister republic, which has suffered untold agonies in its struggles for freedom and Tvhose prosperity Is bound up with the prosperity of the United States, and I be lieve they will win their case. "The Cuban problem is at bottom an economic and a" financial one. And the United States has the control of it in its own hands. There are two measures by the enactment of which Congress might win the heart of Cuba. One is the reduc tion of the duty on sugar. The other is a loan at a low rate of Interest of some ?15,000,000 for the payment of soldiers hon orably discharged from the Cuban armies. Would not both in the long run. be wise Investments for us? Neither In Cuba nor In the United States do the people desire annexation at present. Let us aid the Cubans to set up their own republic. With the establishment of a republic un der the guarantees of the Piatt amend ment, with a consequent influx of capi tal which Is now greatly needed and with a market for sugar In the United States, the Island of Cuba would become one of the richest and happiest communities In the world."

The Journal and Advertiser says: The Prince and Princess Hatzfeldt are in this city, and it is said the Princess is endeavoring to secure a share of the earnings of the es tate of the late Collis P.

It is even asserted that the matter may. b"e brought before the cdurts. Heirs who re ceived special bequests claim that they were entitled to the stocks representing those bequests as soon as Mr. Hunting ton died. Archer M.

CALLAHAN IS IDENTIFIED YOUNG CUDAHY SWE liS HE IS THE KIDNAPER, Pat Crotve's Connection With the Crime Is Also Proved Professor Enstnian.'s Trial. OMAHA, Neb., April 25. In the trial of James Callahan for the kidnaping of Edward Cudahy, Jr., at the opening of court this morning, young Cudahy told about the light man's return to the prison house about 11 o'clock on the night of the delivery of the money. He summoned the dark man to come down stairs, where they remained about half an hour. At the end of that time the light man came up stairs and told the prisoner they were going to take him home. Edward told of the trip home and of his being set down by his captors on Thirty sixth street, about a block north of the pesthouse. He said that while' they" were driving in, the dark man whispered to the light man and asked: "Is this Sarpy Mills?"" ana. the latter replied, "Yes." The boy identified what appeared a sec tion from the leg of an old pair of knit drawers, and said this was the part of the blindfold that was left on him when he was turned loose and told to keep walking ahead until he came to Leavenworth street: Edward testified that he went back to the house two or three days later and recognized it. He said he knew it by the. outside steps and the broken places into which he had stepped when blindfolded. He described the building and told Its lo cation. The boy was asked about James Callahan and told of seeing the accused the Sunday afternoon following Callahan's arrest. . He said Callahan .and the Chief wertf talking, and that Callahan was roll ing and smoking cigarettes. Then came the boy's Identification of Callahan, and It was positive and absolute. "You" may state whether the dark man who put a pistol to your head and made you a prisoner and who guarded you most of the time in the house, and who walked down the street with you arid bade you be quiet when you were released, were one and the same person?" said General Cor wln. "It "was the same man." '"'Who was that man?" "Jim Callahan." "The defendant here In this case?" "Yes, sir.' Callahan betrayed no emotion when the kidnaped boy declared he was one of the abductors, but a cynical smile played faintly over -his features. The boy testi fied that Callahan's mustache was stub bier than It is now. at the time of the kidnaping, and that it was stubbier when first arrested than now. At 9:45 Attorney Haller, for the defense, began cross-examining young Cudahy. The boy admitted that he had gone over the case with General Corwln with ref erence to what his testimony would be. He again detailed the route traversed, aa nearly as he could tell. He admitted that the only direct view he had of the dark man's face was when he first ap proached him, and admitted that at that time he was pretty badly scared. The boy said he could not have identified Callahan from simply seeing him. He said the police told him they had a man there, and wanted to see if he could Iden tify the prisoner as the dark man. He admitted tnat he Identified Callahan principally by his voice, and said that he would not be able to Identify him by his appearance alone. In answer to a direct question the boy said he was as certain of Callahan as he was of the Identity of his father or mother. He thought It hardly possible for there to be another volqe like Calla han's. He said Callahan had a sort of a brogue, and gave a peculiar turn to some words, and sort of talked through his teeth. The boy admitted that he was hot positive as to Callahan's Identity at the close of the first interview in. the Chief's office, but at a second sitting was positive in his Identity. The state made a strong point against Callahan when John Rabbe, a young car penter living about a block from Calla han's sister, Mrs. Kelly, at 50 Handpop lar avenue, was called to the stand. He testified to knowing1 Pat Crowe, and that Crowe called at Mrs. Kelly's, where Cal lahan was living, about 20 times between October 23, when the Kellys moved there, and the time of the kidnaping. He said Crowe always came the same way, and went In the back way without knocklngi Witness said he was working for An thony Crowe, Pat's brother. Pat came there twice. Anthony told him that It was his brother Pat. The last time witness saw Pat Crowe at the Kelly house was December 1, four days before the kidnaping. The pony which the kidnaper rode to telephone information to the Cudahy resi dence played its part this afternoon in connecting Callahan with the crime. Daniel Burris, of North Omaha, recog nized the little pony now In evidence as one which he had sold to the strangers last October. The men had called at his house in a buggy, and in one of them he yi pure ft LB B B LfifliM Lf!APE ( Jy LANG & CO. I) U DISTRIBUTERS t U(fa recognized James Callahan. The other, he said, resembled the photograph of Pat Crowe. The same Incriminating pony was shod by Charles Lee, a South Omaha blacksmith, shortly afterward. The man who bought the animal, Lee snkl, was .Pat Crowe. The pony had a star on his forehead, and two white feet, which en abled the blacksmith to be positive of Its Identity. A further complicity of Interest be tween Callahan and Crowe was disclosed by Mrs. Anna Wreuth, living across the street from Callahan's boarding-house. She says she frequently saw him In com pany with a man called Johnson. She was positive In her Identification of Pat Crowe's picture as that of Callahan's un known guest. Another piece of evidence which occupied the court's attention was the red lantern by which Mr. Cudahy was guided to the rendezvous with the gold. An effort was made to trace Its owner ship to the accused. PATRICK INDICTED. New York Lawj'er Charged With Murder In the First Degree. NEW YORK, April 251 The Indictment against Albert T.

Mark Thomas Hayes was hanged here today. He walked to the scaffold unflinchingly, had nothing whatever to say and refused re ligious consolation. The crime which cost Hayes his life has frequently been re ferred to as "The murder without a mo tive," as Hayes and his victim, William Lowdon, had been close friends for years. On the night of July 3. 1SS9, Hayes, Lowdon and some others were carousing at the Hill Farm, near Dunbar. A quar rel arose between Hayes and Lowdon. Hayes went home, but soon returned with a shotgun and with the words "I will al low no man to call me a coward," shot Lowdon dead.

The plea of the de fense was insanity and lack of motive. The Eastman Murder Trial. CAMBRDDGE, Mass., April 25. The de fense of Professor Eastman continued to score points at law on the Government In the trial today, the court holding to Us opinion yesterday, that declarations made by Richard Grogan. Jr., while he was dying, were not competent as evidence where the accusation was of murder. The court went further today by ruling as Incompetent other statements that witnesses heard fromGrogan's lips which appeared to be replies to Eastman's de nial of other than accidental shooting. There was much to encourage Eastman in the testimony, which showed that the latter was very solicitous for Grogan's condition, and he exhibited much grief at the unfortunate episode. Candler on the Neprro's Place. SAVANNAH. Ga., April 25. Governor Allen D. Candler, in commenting on the coterie of philanthropists, headed by Robert C. Ogden, that recently made an "educational tour" through the South, says In part: "I do not think much of this tour.

We can attend to the education of the negro in the South without the aid of the Northerners, and give them the education they most need, too. I do not believe In the higher education of the negro. He should be taught the trades. PALATE-TieKLlNG.

Proprleters of New York Poolrooms Open the Campaign. NEW YORK, April 25. The Tribune says: Police Commissioner Murphy has de clared that he "was not acquainted with the plans of proprietors of poolrooms In the city to make war upon the gamblers who are allowed by the police to oper ate at the race tracks within the city limits. It has been reported that the pool sellers have planned to have the bookmakers at the race tracks arrested Saturday. The pool sellers are to carry Into the courts a case to test the right of the bookmakers to operate at tho tracks. Benjamin Stelnhardt,. who Is counsel for one of the pool sellers, sent to Com missioner Murphy a brief demanding that the police drive the gamblers from tho race tracks. Mr. Murphy said that he had referred the brief to Corporation Counsel Whalen for advice, and that the police do nothing until Mr. Whalen had sent a reply. Mr. Stelnhardt said that he was acting as a citizen, and not as counsel for the pool sellers, In making his demand for the stopping of gambling at the race tracks. "I make the contention," he said, "that the police officials and the city's pollco force aid the bookmakers Instead of ejecting gamblers. A man can easily be sent to the track to call the attention ot these officers to the gambling which is openly conducted. If after that they do not eject the gamblers, those officers will be placed In the same position as the poljce captains whom the District Attor ney Is after now for not suppressing gambling in their preclnct3." Mr. Stelnhardt said that Justice Jer ome had refused to issue blank subpenas to him as counsel for Allen, whose case comes up for examination. He said the law required Issuing of the subpenas. Justice Jerome, when seen later, said: "I am not competed to issue, blank sub penas, though I am compelled to issue filled ones. I am a Magistrate sitting as a committing Magistrate, and therefore am not obliged to Issue such blank sub penas. If the names are furnished I shall Issue them even for William Mc Klnley. But no one can have any blank ones." Blackmail Scheme Failed. MORRIS, 111., April 25.
