THE MORNfXO OKFOCTCTAN, MONDAY, .TUXE 17, 1801.
THE JURY DISAGREED
END OF THE THIRD TRIAIj OF DR.
' ' ' KEXNEDY.
Vesrroca at Leavenworth Have Been
Arming: Themselves With Gam
Bought From V. S. Soldiers.
"KEWLTORK, June 16. The 12 men who,
slntte. J2;15 . o'clock yesterday afternoon,
at the conclusion of the Judge's charge,
considered the evidence In the third trte.1
of Dr. Samuel J. Kennedy for the mur
der of Dolly Reynolds, reported to Judge
Newburger, at 10:25 o'clock this morn
ing; that they -were unable to agree on
a verdict. The Judge at once discharged
the Jury from further service, and re
manded the prisoner to the Tombs.
When the foreman of the jury an
nounced the Inability to agree. Dr. Ken
nedy seemed unable to comprehend the
situation. Then Ihe tears came to his
eyes and his face showed the effort ho
-was making to control himself and crush
Ills disappointment. But the smile that
had been marked through most of the
trial came back quickly and grew bright
er as he caught the eye of Mr. Moore, his
attorney.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the court, the attorneys for the defense
saw Judge Newburger in regard to their
next step In behalf of Dr. Kennedy. The
Judge said that they should see District
Attorney Philbln, as to whether he would
agree upon the course to be pursued. He
sa'ld that he (the Judge) would be out
of town tomorrow, but that they could
appear before him Tuesday to make what
ever motion they desired. Mr. Moore will
,ask District Attorney Philbln to move the
quashing of the Indictment, and If the
latter does not take this step to free Dr.
Kennedy, Mr. Moore himself will make
that motion, arguing that the state has
shown twice its inability to convict his
client of the crime charged, and that the
old idea of two disagreements being
equivalent to an acquittal ought to pre
vail in this case.
On the first ballot taken, the six who
were willing to vote in advance of a dis
cussion of the case stood: For acquittal,
two; for conviction of murder in the first
degree, three; for second degree, one. The
other six put in blank ballots. The first
formal ballot resulted: For acquittal, six;
for conviction, 6lx. The next ballot stood:
For acquittal,, seven; for conviction, five.
Thus the1 jury stood until the sixth ballot
was reached, when the result was: For
.acquittal, eight; for conviction, four; and
four more ballots resulted In the .same
way, 10 in all being taken.
Emellne C. Reynolds, better known as
Dolly Reynolds, was found dead with her
head crushed in a room at the Grand
Hotel August 16. 189S, where she had gone
with a man answering Dr. Kennedy's de
scription. The dead woman's corset was
found to contain a check for $13,000, signed
"Dudley Gideon," and indorsed by "Sam
uel J. Kennedy." The theory of the po
lice regarding this was that it was in
payment of alleged winnings at the race.
Evidence at the trial of the case in the
criminal branch of the Supreme Court In
the Spring of 1S99 showed that the wo
man's skull had been crushed with a piece
of lead pipe, and traces of this pipe were,
it was alleged by the police, discovered
on Dr. Kennedy's clothing. Dr. Kennedy
was convicted, and sentenced to be exe
cuted at Sing Sing. The Court of Ap
peals. November 20, 1900, handed down a
decision granting a new trial. Dr Ken
nedy was next prosecuted before Justice
Fursman during the latter part of last
year, the second trial resulting in a dis
agreement. District Attorney Philbln
transferred the case to the General Ses
sions and assigned Assistant District At
torney Osborne to prosecute it. The third
trial began May 6.
RACE FEELIXG AT LEAVENWORTH.
Kesrroes Arming; Themselves With
Weapons Bought From Soldiers.
LEAVENWORTH, Kas., June 16. Con
siderable excitement has been created by
the unearthing of what appears to be a
scheme of the negroes of Leavenworth to
arm themselves with revolvers purchased
from soldiers at Fort Leavenworth. Ever
since the burning of Fred Alexander, the
negroes of Leavenworth have been in
an ugly mood and conservative men say
that the race feeling stirred up at that
time may break out any time. The po
lice are doing everything possible to kill
this feeling- and are assisting the officers
at Fort Leavenworth to recover the re
volvers. It seem? that the negroes had
.circulated the report among the soldiers
at the fort that they would buy up all
the Government revolvers offered, and
several of the soldiers took the opportu
nity of disposing of the Government's
goods. Lieutenant F. L. Deen, of Troop
K, finally set a trap for the negroes.
Instructing certain privates to offer their
weapons for sale. Three negroes who
bought them were arrested and are be
'Ing held.

himself after fatally wounding Miss Mary
Bolte, died, today in the Fordham Hos
pital. His victim had died a few hours

tragedy may never be known, though the
motive, is believed to have been jealousy.
In Meinhoffer's clothing was found this
letter:
"I sit herg'and calmly smoke my pipe.
After great deliberation I propose to kill
her. She deceived me. I killed her for
revenge. She wrecked my life. I have
nothing- more to live for.
"WILLIAM MEINHOFFER."

BLACK WEEK IN BERLIN.
Business on the Bourse Practically
at a Standstill.
BERLIN, June 16. The Bourse had an
other black week. The Frankfurter Zel
tung says: "Seldom have fear, distrust
and anxiety been so pronounced as during
these days." Business is at a standstill.
The orders for sales find few takers, and
then at a heavy loss from the quotations.
Only on Friday and Saturday did the
market become somewhat firmer, with
prices slightly rising in a score of the
better values.
The week began with the crash of the
Dresden Credit Ansalt and the Kummer
Electric Company, which bwes 9,000,000
marks to the Dresden Credit Ansalt alone.
Rumors are in circulation to the effect
that a number of other electric concerns
and the banks supporting them in Dres
den, Berlin and Dantzlc are in serious
difficulties. The past week was notable
for rumors; they found sustenance in the
highly unfavorable reports which came
in from every kind of business, especially
from the Rhine, Westphallan Industrials
and iron and machine firms and mining
concerns. It was generally pointed out
that many German electric works were
neither soundly founded nor financiered,
and it is consequently feared that other
concerns will encounter financial difficul
ties. The Dresden Society of Electric
Plants and Railroads seems heavily in
volved. Throughout the week the bears attacked
all along the line, bringing about greatly
reduced quotations, even for such strong
societies as Rombacher minings. Follow
ing Chis came the blue book on the Trans
vaal Railroad, which caused a sensation
in Berlin, as it had been firmly believed
that the British Government would favor
the German shareholders of the road. The
German financial press still expresses this
belief, but the shares which were former
ly quoted here at 226 have dropped to 155
and have not vet recovered their 1or.
Altogether, the Bourse situation during
the past week was one that has only been
equaled In the worst time, and it is gen
erally thought that there will be no
marked Improvement for a long time to
come. The bears particularly selected
bank shares for their attacks, and the
securities of everr bank lost a. nnmhpr nt
points. In some-coses the losses amounted
to .jo and even more. Provincial bank
shares became unsalable, although a
great number were thrown upon the mar
ket. Inland government loans were slow
but firm. Inland railroads are doing noth
ing. The only gleam of light in the week's
situation was tne agreement of the Bourse
committee favoring the abolishing of the
worst features of the resent Bourse law.
but it Is uncertain whether the Reich
stag will adopt the report. If is hoped
that the Rolchbank, beginning next Tues
day, will follow tho Bank of England in
reducing the official rate of discount. The
abundance of money continues.
LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE.
The Air Is Cleared, hut Business
Remains Dull.
LONDON, June 16. The London Stock
Exchange was very slightly roused this
past week from Its very continued leth
argy. The air is now cleared from the
effects of the recent American crisis, but
business still remains painfully dull. Pro
fessional traders are merely following New
York at a safe distance and are con
tinually alert for pitfalls. The hesitancy
of the last week is also largely traceable
to a desire for definite assurance of the
tangible developments in the South
African war. The depression accompany
ing the decline In gilt-edged securities has
seriously hampered the resources of many
of the strongest members of the stock
exchange, while It is whispered that some
banks are even so Involved as a result of
the assistance rend&ed large operators
that they are now unable to press for a
settlement, lest they precipitate a crisis In
volving large Interests.
The fact ttiat the expected reduction in
the bank rate was not effected and the
consequent ease of money has caused a
weakened flicker of activity In which
home rails participated with Americans
on a healthier traffic showing. It is an
ticipated, however, that the impending call
for the payment of the subscriptions to
consols will make easy money very ac
ceptable. It Is feared in some quarters
that American Industrial activity may
draw gold from London. It Is pointed out?
by the optimists, however, that New York
has already invested so heavily In foreign
securities beyond its powers immediately
to pay that the exchange is likely to re
main slightly In favor of Europe, and this,
In spite of the heavy grain shipments, the
presaged Continental crop damage and
large American harvests.
The mining market is limited by the
same bouth African specter which ham
pers stock transactions. The peace rumors
current during the early tvart of the wppU
have, unfortunately not been confirmed,
"u "e nnuuuon was not made brighter
by a published announcement from the
Reuter Telegram Company this week that
the censor had Impounded a message of
Inquiry as to the situation addressed to
Reuter's correspondent in South Africa.
RAVINGS OF DOWIE.
He Declares That Physicians Are
Plotting: to Beat Him Insane.
CHICAGO. June 16.-John Alexander
Dowle announced at his meeting in ZIon
Tabernacle today that certain physicians
of this city had formed a plot to kidnap
him, lock him In a detention hospital and
beat him on the head and back till he
should lose all reasoning powers and be
come violently Insane. He said that the
kidnaping might take place tonight, and
after his service he called a special pri
vate meeting of the male members of
Zlon to take steps to help the ZIon guard
In protecting him. He also made threats
against the physicians that he would; do
them as he thought they were trying to
do him. unless they shall let him alone
and stop calling him a paradox. With all
this Dowle repeated all his pretensions
to be Elijah reincarnated, making way
for the end of the world, and he Inci
dentally la-id claim to immortality until
such time as his work was accomplished.
"I have specific information," shouted
the general overseer to his followers,
"that a law has just been Juggled with
special reference to me. These doctors
have fixed it so that an insanity com
plaint does not have to come from a rela
tive now, but may come from any man
who says he acts in public interest. Do
you know what this means? It comes
from the same men who are calling- me
a paradox. It means that they are going
to kidnap me. They will try to get me
some night. They will carry me to a
hospital and bind me hand and foot.
Then they will beat me and torture me
till they make me Insane. That's what
they will do, the fiends, the scoundrels!
I say to ZIon, 'On guard!' I want every
member of Zlon, and every male member
especially, to remain after this service and
plan with me how to protect ourselves
from these scoundrels and thieves. The
emergency is great."

MEMPHIS, June 16. General William

Mexican and Civil Wars, died here to
night at the age of 78. He was a gradu

WASHINGTON. June 16.-Frank H.
Hitchcock, chief of the section of foreign
markets of the Agricultural Department,
has prepared a bulletin showing the
sources of the agricultural Imports of the
United States from the period from 1896
to 1900. It shows that the total value of
agricultural products imported into the
United States In 1900 was $420,139,288, that
year being the record year of the five.
The annual average was $376,368,368.

PROFESSOR IRA C. REMSEN.
Dr. Ira C. Remsen, Ph. E., LL. D., who succeeds Professor Daniel Colt Gil
man in the presidency of Johns Hopklna University, has been associated with
tho university since its foundation in 187G. He was the first member of the
faculty selected by President Gllman. For 25 years he has been the confidant
and adviser of the president, and b- students and faculty he is looked upon as a
thorough scholar and most able educator. During all of Professor Gllman'a
Journeys abroad he has acted as president, and, apart from Dr. Gllman himself,
he Is probably the one man who knows most about the affairs of the blp unl
Blty. Professor Remsen was born In New York City, February 10, 1846, and was
graduated from the College of the City of New York in 1S05. He studied medi
cine and received the degree of M. D, from the College of Physicians and Sur
geons, but speedily turned his attention to the study of chemistry, to which his
native bent invited. He won the degree of Ph. D. at the University of Got
tlngen in 1860. and became assistant to Professor Fittig at Tubingen. In 1872 he
wa called by President Chadbourne to the chair of chemistry in Williams, and
thence Dr. Gllman called him to Baltimore four years later. Chemistry is no
where better taught than under Professor Remsen at Johns Hopkins, and as a
chemist and writer on chemistry he Is widely known. He founded In 1870 tha
American Chemical Journal, of which he has since been edltoV. His textbooks
on chemistry are standard in this country, and have been translated abroad to a
remarkable extent; he la the author of many scientific and popular articles and
addresses, and has been called as an expert in his department In many Important
lawsuits. Dr. Remsen's standing In the college world is properly attested by his
two degrees of LL. D., one granted by Columbia In 1S03. and the other by
Princeton, in 1890. He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and
a foreign member of the Chemical Society of London. He was married, April 5
1875, to Bessie H. Mallory. of New York.
taking from that country In 1900 $129,000,000
worth of farm products, being the larg
est In recent years, except 1S97, when we
received $152,000,000. Asia In 1900 sent us
$101,000,000 in agricultural produce, a rapid
rise from $66,000,000 In 1S96. Our farm
imports from Oceanica also rose rapidly,
being $37,000,000 In 1900. against $22,000,000
In 1S96, while on the other hand there was
a falling off of $2,000,000 In our Imports of
farm products from North American coun
tries. There was also a large falling off
in agricultural Imports from South Amer
ica. Our African farm produce Imports
declined from $10,400,000 In 1S9C to $6,700,000
In 1898, and rose again In 19C0 to $10,
600.000. Brazil, owing to Its heavy coffee trade,
holds the foremost place In the ranks
of countries sending us coffee supplies,
her total for 1900 being $39,298,000. Our
Imports from there, however, have been
steadily decreasing. In 1896 they were $60,
668,000. The United Kingdom ranged next
to Brazil, with $32,605,000 worth of farm
product exports to the United States In
1900. a gain over the two immediate pre
ceding years, but a loss of $15,000,000 as
compared with 1E97. Cuba In 1900 sent us
$27,226,000 in farm products, the war re
sulting In such Huctuatlons in the statis
tics as $36,386,000 In 1S96, and $13,15S,000 In
1898. Germany comes next with $26,049,000
In 1900, as against $22,523,000 in 1896, and
$31,503,000 In her record year of 1897. Japan
and China made large gains during the
five years, Japan sending us In' 1900 $24.
767.000, against $1S,GS2.000 In 1896. .and China
$24,131,000 In 1900, against $18,649,000 in 1S96.
Hawaii made a record in 1900 with $20,63S.
000 worth of farm produce exported to us,
against only $11,710,000 in 1896. Mexico's
gain was from $12,751,000 In 1896 to $20,000,
000 In 1900.
The leading articles of farm produce
Imported by us in 1900 were, in the order
of their importance, sugar, hides and
skins, coffee, silk, vegetable fibers, woods,
fruits and nuts, tobacco, tea, wines, vege

A comprehensive resume of the com
merce of the United States with Russia
and with Sweden during last year Is con
tained In the extract from the work en
titled "The Commercial Relations of the
United States for 19C0," to be made pub
lic by Frederick Emery, chief of the Bu
reau of Foreign Commerce of the State
Department. Mr. Emery has adopted the
plan of making public the valuable In
formation contained In the volume In
short chapters, to be given to the press
at short Intervals. '
Consul Heenan. at Odessa, snys that
an Interesting feature of the trade with
Russia In 1900 was the demand for Amer
ican agricultural machinery, such as reap
ers, mowers, binders, horse rakes, etc.. In
sections where these machines had pre
viously been but little used. This was
notably the case In Poland. The reason
given was the scarcity of labor, owing
to the heavy emigration from that dis
trict during late years. The introduction
of horsepower threshers by an enterpris
ing American probably is the advance
guard of an enormous trade in these ma
chines. Consul-General Winslow, of Stockholm,
urges American exporters not to overlook
the opportunities for American trade m
Sweden. The Swedes, he says, are the
Yankees of Europe, and If their commer
cial friendship is cultivated our merchants
will find there a growing market for their
supplies. The Consul-General says that
SO American locomotives that have been
put on the state railways are meeting
with great praise, and that the new en
gines under construction in the country
are patterned after them.
TRIAL OF THE WISCONSIN.
Xeiv Battle-Ship Cnpanle of More
Than Eighteen Knots.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 16. The battle-ship
Wisconsin steamed Into this port
this morning after a 4S-hour trial in
Santa Barbara channel, during which it
was demonstrated that the Illinois will
have to look sharp if she would retain
the honor of being the swiftest sailer of
her class In the United States Navy. Ac
cording to members of the trial board
and the experts in naval construction
who were aboard the Wisconsin, when
she is put through her final paces before
being accepted by the Government, the
battle-ship will show a speed of more
than 18 knots an hour. If put under forced
draught.
The Wisconsin left this port last Friday
morning, and during the two days had
fair sailing in an easy sea. With a full
head of steam and natural draught, the
official record for two hours was 16.45
knots an hour. For the 4S hours the av
erage was 15.3 knots an hour. Last
Wednesday, while being brought to this
port from Puget Sound, the officers In
charge gave the Wisconsin her head from
Point Arenas to Point Reyes, and had the
satisfaction of seeing her put 37.2 knots
behind her In two hours, or 18.6 knots an
hour. Tho trial just closed demonstrated
that no alteration would have to be made
either In the battle-ship's propelling ap
paratus or in her fighting equipment. On
the run up from the channel yesterday all
the guns were tested for mechanical de
fects, but none were found. This side of
Point Conception all the guns were fired.
Solid shot was used.
Six months ago the Wisconsin was
turned over to the Government by the
contractors. At that time a forced
draught trial was made, and the new
greyhound of the Navy surprised her
builders by showing a speed of 17.6 knots
an hour. This test was made at a time
when the ship's engines were too new to
show their best work.
MILLIONAIRE GIVERS.
Scored by the Rector of the College
of New York.
NEW YORK. June 16. The baccalaure
ate services of the commencement exer
cises of the College of New York were
held today In the Episcopal Church of the
Ascension. Rev. Dr. Percy Stlckney
Grant, the rector, delivered the sermon.
In his address to the graduates, he said
among other things:
"The great temptation which I believe
will beset your path Is materialism. We
see about us men with Immense wealth,
here one possessing one hundred millions,
there one worth two millions, and" there
one worth four millions. We find a man
giving libraries to a city which should
be ashamed to receive them when It
knows his name must be written across
the buildings which he gives. The same
man gives universities to a country which
never asked for anything In university
education but an opportunity to earn It.
"Many of the men who have amassed
great fortunes attach too much Import
ance to the rough-and-ready spirit which
they believe to have aided them most
materlnllv. Mr. Rrhwah -wo mnr- rn
I elude, has little cdnfldence in education
along nigher lines as an assistance in
business affairs.
"The men of millions have power.
Wherever they throw the vast Impulse of
their capital, the labors are accomplished.
They have unlimited power. Young men
see this, and what is the result? They
throw themselves like fagots Into the
furnace of material production."
Another Victim of Ferry Disaster.
NEW YORK, June 16. A second body
has been taken from the sunken Staten
Island ferry-boat Northfleld. It was re
covered at noon today and proved to be
that of Juan A. Benltlz. a 'clerk in the
steamship office of French, Edey & Co., of
this city. He was a young Porto Rlcan
who came here to learn the shipping busi
ness. The raising of the Northfleld will
probably be undertaken tomorrow.
Pure blood is necessary to enjoy perfect
health. Hood's Sarsaparllla Insures both.
SURPRISED BY BOERS
VICTORIA MOUNTED RIFLES OVER
COME BY A SUPERIOR FORCE.
First Serious Reverse to the Aus
tralian Contingent Two Pom.
Poms Captured by Dutch.
LONDON, June 16. Lord Kitchener has
cabled from Pretoria, under today's date,
as follows:
"Near Welmansrust, 20 miles north of
Mlddleburg. 250 Victoria Mounted Rifles
from General Beaston's column were Bur
prised In camp at Steenkoolspruit by a
superior force of Boers at 7:30 P. M.
June 12. The enemy crept up to within
short range and poured a deadly fire Into
the camp, killing two officers and 16 men
and wounding four officers and 33 men,
of whom 2S were slightly wounded. Only
two officers and 50 men escaped to General
Beaston's camp. The remainder were
taken prisoners and 'released. Two pom
poms were captured by the enemy. Full
details have not yet been received."
The serious reverse which Lord Kit
chener reports, is the first accident of
the kind that has happened to the Aus
tralian contingent, and it Is supposed 'to
be due f neglect of proper picketing.
Although it is offset' by the defeat in
flicted upbn DeWet, the loss of the guns
Is regarded as a serious matter which
will encourage the -Boers to continue the
struggle.
More or less fanciful accounts are pub
lished on the Continent of alleged peace
negotiations, but' there is nothing In them
and nothing has come of the interview
between Mr. Botha and Mr. Kruger, be
yond revealing the fact that Mr. Kruger
will listen to no proposals unless they are
accompanied, with a guarantee of inde
pendence of the republics.
The Dally Mall's Cape Town correspond
ent says that Cecil Rhodes, speaking at
Bulawayo Saturday, predicted that a
federation of South African states would
come in three or four years; but he con
tended that to grant self-government to
Che republics before federation would
render federation impossible.
IRON CHANCELLOR HONORED.
Bismarck: Statue Unveiled In Berlin
Yesterday.
BERLIN, June 16. The Bismarck statue,
facing the Column of Victory In front of
the Reichstag building, was unveiled at
midday today in tho presence of the Em
peror and Empress, Prince Herbert Bis
marok, Count von Bulow, Prince Hohen
lohe, the Ministers, and the members of
the Legislative houses and the memorial
committee. There was an imposing ar
ray of officers, bfficlals, veterans' asso.
ciations, students, etc., and an enormous
gathering of people. Emperor William
Inspected the guard of honor and then
took his place under the baldachin with
the Empress. A thousand school children
sang In chorus, and Dr. von Lcvltzow,
Conservative leader of the Reichstag, de
livered a brief eulogistic address. Count
von Bulow, the Imperial Chancellor, then
made a speech, as follows:
"Among the whole German people there
is no one but knows that no vestige of
the Iron Chancellor's day upon earth will
disappear; that the admiration and grat
itude towards him will Increase while
German hearts beat or while German fists
are clenched. Bismarck's was a leonine
nature. Upon earth he stood amid the
dust of battle. Battle brings with it just
opposition, unjust misunderstanding, hon
orable enmity and blind hatred. While
the dust Is dispersed there remains only
the memory of unparalleled deeds and of
peerless personality,"
Count von Bulow then eloquently
sketched Bismarck's stupendous work in
establishing the empire, that aspiration
of centuries, for which the noblest spirits
had striven In vain, and for which a long
array of martyrs In the German cause had
fought and suffered. Continuing, Count
von Bulow said:
"Only fools and fanatics would main
tain that Bismarck never made a mistake,
or that the maxims he laid down must be
applied in all circumstances. Rigid dog
mas do not hold, either In political or
economic life. Bismarck himself did not
lay great stress upon the doctrine he
taught ub, that no personal fancies, tran.
sltory ideas or antiquated theory, but
only the practical and enduring interest
ot the community, should govern the na
tional policy. What his whole work
teaches us Is that It is essential In pol
itics always clearly to recognize the lim
its of the attainable and to stake all upon
the attainment of what will be of advan
tage to the country- Bismarck belongs
to no party; he belongs to the whole na
tion. In the domain of politics Bismarck
was what Goethe was In the domain of
mind. He Is our guarantee that the na
tlo.i can never surrender its right to
unity, independence and power. Living in
middle Europe, we have no alternative
but to be always en vldette. We are
strong enough, however, to maintain our
independence on every side. Divided by
opposing principles in politics, economics
and creed, the empire will never be with
out Internal conflicts, but these will no
longer be able to shatter what was forged
30 years ago. Exegl monumentum aere
perennluB (I have reared for myself a
monument more enduring- than bronze.)
"May the name of this great man al
ways go before the German people as a
pillar of fire on good as on evil days.
May our German people face their future
In peace, freedom, well-being and strength
under the leadership of the glorious House
of Hohenzollern, on whose shoulders the
nation's future rests."
Count von Bulow concluded hlB speech
by calling for three cheers for the Em
peror and the fatherland.
The 8000 people present then sang the
national anthem, and at a signal from
the Emperor the veil fell from the stat
ue and the fountains started playing, amid
the ringing cheers of the assembly. On
the pedestal of the statue there appears
the single word, "Bismarck." Emperor
William alone mounted the steps and de.
posited the first wreath at the foot of the
statue. He then turned to Prince Herbert
Bismarck while "Deutschland Ueberalles"
was sung. The Emperor and Empress
then inspected the memorial, and the va
rious deputations laid a mound of wreaths
at the foot of the statue before Their
Majesties took their departure.

RELATIONS WITH CUBA.
Coming; Congress Will Probnhly Go
Further Than Did Last Session.
WASHINGTON, June 12. Unless there
-is a different sentiment throughout the
country than is manifested by what one
may gather In Washington, there will be
a distinct expression, when Congress
meets to go even further than the Ad
ministration or the last Congress went In
dealing with Cuba. Whatever the world
may think, or whatever the Cubans may
say they think, of the policy of the Teller
resolution, which was made a part of
'the resolution declaring- war on Spain,
the people generally seem to be of the
opinion that the United States must con
trol Cuban affairs for the good of Cuba.
Some Democrats who opposed the Piatt
amendment to he Army appropriation
bill, stipulating what Cuba should do,
afterwards went to Cuba and advised the
Cubans to accept It. These same Demo
crats are emphatic In their declarations
that this legislation was much better than
the Cubans will ever be able to get, and
that, in view of the Supreme Court de
cision, the quicker the Cubans hasten to
accept the Piatt amendment the better
It will be for all concerned.
One thing can be definitely determined
that Cuba will be held as a dependency
until the terms of the Piatt amendment
are compiled with, and if they are not
compiled with before there Is an oppor
tunity for further legislation on the sub
ject, there Is a possibility that the terms
will be made more stringent. The people
of the United States want Cuba as a
part of the United States In some form
or another. The Supreme Court decision
in Porto Rico makes it easy to acquire
a certain title or interest in Cuba and
govern It, and eliminates any problem
that might have occurred should the con
tinued controj of the island mean absolute
anexatlon in the future. It Is possible
that the United States Government will
find it necessary to increase its Army
In Cuba and to fight the men for whom
we went to war In 1898, and kill off a
lot of these agitators and their followers.
But before doing so, every opportunity
will be given the Cubans to take a sen
sible view of the situation, and do what
is best for themselves, for their Island,
and for the better relations between the
people of Cuba and the United States.

failed to respond.

proceedings against the steel magnate,
but Converse has kept himself outbltle the

with the Shi riff of West Moreland Coun
ty and Constable Collins, of McKeesport.
The special train was not supposed to
