STitL THE VETERANS COME
SECOND i)AY OF THE NATIONAL G.
A. R. ENCAMPMENT.
'Judge W. R."Day Was tlie Principal
Speaker at the McKinley Thanks
giving Meeting.
e
' CLEVELAND. Sept. 12. The National
encampment of the Grand Army of the
Republic opened this morning at the Opera-House
with a large attendance. In
tense interest was manifested by the del
egates In the repjprt of the committee on
pensions, and It was generally believed
that the convention would take some rad
ical action bearing on the subject
The commander-in-chief, Leo Rassleur,
devoted a large part of his annual ad
dress to the matter of pensions.
"Without any effort," he said, "on the
parjt of the organization or Its officers to
give the pension problem any undue
prominence, that subject has overshad
owed all others, and has called for more
attention and thought in the past year
than all other questions which concern
us."
He criticised the administration of the
Pension Bureau, and demanded "the hon
est and fair administration of laws which
are already on the statute books." -Continuing,
lie said:
"If an officer's lawlessness, recklessness
and boldness go to such extreme length
as to leau him to override and ignore a
-Plain and unmistakable order, indicating
the line tf his- duty, unden the law, com
ing from his superior officer, the Secretary
of the Interior, what can the poor and
"helpless old soldier expect at his hands
When he is claiming to exercise his discre
tion under the ' law. The exercising of
his discretion cannot posribly result in
anything else in most of the cases than
a positive denial of the benefits prescribed
oy the Jaw "
After adverting to the Importance of ju
dicial assistance In the administration of
the Pension Bureau and answering ob
jections to the G. A. R. bill having this
dbject in view, the commander-in-chief
added:
"We cannot conceive that the measure
of duty to those who saved this country
will be belittled while this country has
hundreds of millions of dollars to engage
in a humanitarian war In the interests of
the downtrodden of other countries."
He referred regretfully to the failure
of the "veterans' preference bill" to re
ceive favorable consideration by Congress,
t and urged further efforts to secure its pas-
sage. Another ground for disappoint
ment, he said, was the failure to pass one
of the three bills for Soldiers Homes in
South Dakota, Idaho and Oklahoma. As
to military and patriotic Instructions in
the public schools, he deplored the ex
clusion of noncommissioned officers from
the bill which passed Congress.
"Tlie schools," he said, "are the fruit
ful field where patriotism can be so
planted ani cultivated that nothing can
destroy or eradicate it. Hence every ef
fort in this direction should be continued
with renewed efforts and patriotic exer
cises made obligatory in the public schools
by -law wherever such is not yet the
case."
General Sickles offered a resolution at
.the opening of the proceedings of the
convention, tendering to the President the
affectionate congraulatlons upon his rapid
convalescence for which all civilized
nations pray. Comrade Thistlewood, of
Illinois, offered as an amendment a series
of resolutions calling for a law-punish
ing attacks -upon the Chief Executive as
treason. The amendment was not second
ed, and General Sickles' resolution was
adopted oy a rising vote. The message
was ordered telegraphed to the President.
The committee on credentials reported
that the rail prepared by the Adjutant
General was correct and should be adopt
ed. The roll showed a total .voting
.strength df"1340, including delegates, tie-J
partment commanders and past depart
ment -commanders.

the y ear was $119,325.
Referring to the Southern memorial
fund, the Adjutaht-General said:
"The importance of aiding our comrades
of the Southern States and their succes
sors in the Important object lesson of
placing the flag of the Union ori the
graves of our fallen, lying in National
and other cemeteries of that section on
Memorial day of each year for all time
to come, urges us to adopt the best meth
od toward securing that end."
The report of August Drahams, chap-lain-ln-chief,
showed that 2794 posts ob
served Memorial Day services, 92,700 of the
comrades participating, as did 2604-Women's
Relief Corps, with 14.600 members.
The number of cemeteries visited was 10,
BS6 and the number of graves decorated
( 212.S46. The public schools participating
were 3006, and the number of pupils 2S.2S5.
Other organizations which took part in
the ceremonies numbered 2296.
. The thanksgiving mass meeting in
praise and thanksgiving for the prospec
tive recovers' of President McKinley was
attended by an Immense outpouring of
people, including veterans and visitors.
Senator Hanna presided as chairman.
"When he took his seat on the platform
he was greeted with continued applause.
The many eminent speakers of the day
Included Governor Nash, Judge "William
R. Day, Senator Fairbanks and others
Bthers. who spoke In 'most feeling terms
upon the all-absorbing topic of the day.
Judge Day spoke in part as follows:
"Friday last the President of the
United States, having responded to an in
. citation to attend the exposition at Buffa
lo, and taking part, delivered an address,
expressing with great force and beauty
the supremacy of the victories of peace
rjver those of war, andIn rarely felici
tous language, voicing the hope that the
nations of the earth might dwell together
In unity, was about to close his visit
by meeting the people at a public recep
tion, as has been his wont on many occa
sions. On his way to the reception a
friend expressed to him the thought that
meeting so many people might make un
usual demands upon his strength. He re
plied that the people had ever been kind
to him, and It was a pleasure to meet
with them, and he found great satisfac
tion in their expressions of confidence and
esteem.
"With these sentiments on his lips, at
a time when the country was in profound
peace, when prosperity abounded on all
hands, when his worth -and ability and
gentle kindness had endeared him, it was
believed, to all his countrymen, without
warning he was stricken in all the full
ness of health to the portals of death
Itself. Such an act upon such a man,
ander such circumstances, In a country
like ours, seems almost Impossible. Oth
5r Presidents have been stricken In the
sxcitement following a great civil strife,
and when the evil passions of disappoint
ed partisanship were rife. That a man,
!hus blameless, could be attacked so, must
needs make us pause a moment and re
flect. It affords to the people of this'
country another lesson as to" their duty
In dealing with those who encourage on
American soil thevpropagation of princi
ples which make such attacks possible.
We have been taught that If we sow the
wind we shall reap the whirlwind.
"It is one of the sayings of the Presl-
flent, though worths' of emphasis, that
there are no classes In this fair land of
ours. There must be no place under our
flag for the propagation of the doctrines
of the anarchists. Laws must be enacted
which shall visit upon such criminals
just 'and sure punishment. Not only the
pupil, but the teacher of such theories
must be reached and punished. The ad-
rocates of Its awful tenets must be keot J
from our shores; Its -principles must, be
torn, root and branch, from every foot'
of our domain, until Its adherents learn
that to attack the government through Its
highest official Is one of the most heinous
of crimes, sure to meet with swift and
terrible retribution. Let there be no
nook or corner of the civilized world in
which it can hide and call itself safe.
"We are not met on this occasion to
discuss ways and means by which these
ends are to be accomplished. We
know that the American people will in
sist that everything be done that can be
to make a repetition of such horrors im
possible. Happily for the country, no
less than a source of unbounde'd joy to
his friends, we have every reason to be
lieve that the life, so precious to us, under
the favor of God will be restored, and it
is fit that we should meet in surroundings
on this great occasion and gathering, and
with the aid of his surviving comrades-in-arms
give expression to the joy which
fills our hearts. Fear has been changed
to hope, sorrow to Joy, and a great people
bow in reverent thankfulness In this de
liverance. "The regret that he cannot be with us,
comrades, upon this great historic occa
sion, is as much felt upon his part as it
is upon yours. His first real experience
in life, breaking in upon his college days,
was with ' the Grand Army of the Re
public Who shall say that In the duties,
hardships and privations of that service,
the foundation of a great character may
not be securely laid. He belonged to that
noble regiment which, has given the coun
try another President, a great General
and a Justice of the Supreme Court.
"Upon the authority of one of his com
rades we have an incident which showed
even in those early days the qualities
which have made him equal to the great
occasions with which his career has been
crowned. "When General Early had at
tacked the Federal Army near Winches
ter and drive it back, William Mc
Kinley, riding through Winches
ter with General Hayes, his chief, noted,
at the roadside an old lady, down whose
face tears of sympathy were flowing,
at what she believed to be a great disas
ter to the Union arms. The young offi
cer drew up his horse and said to her:
'Cheer up: have no fear. We "shall be
back this way again.' In a few days
the prophecy was made true, and the vic
torious army" of the Union swept back
through Winchester, driving the enemy
frpm the Shenandoah Valley.
"These great traits, kindness of heart
and confidence In his cause, .have ever
been characteristic of him. Today the
world knows the story of his life, and his
place in the history of the country and of
the world Is secure. We rejoice that his
davs of usefulness are not ended. We re
joice above all that to the people of this 1
state who have so long known and lovea
him, his lne remains for our guidance
and comfort.
"There are many in the audience who
know that no matter how high he has
advanced on 'fortune's crowning slope,'
he has ever retained those endearing
qualities which have made him, while
one of the strongest, the gentlest of men
and the kindest of neighbors and friends.
We feel assured that no words of good
cheer will be more welcome on his jour
ney back to health than those which come
from this gathering of his friends In this
great state and city and from his old com,
panlons in arms. Let us fervently hopi
and pray that the day is not far distant
when we may look again on his noble
face and feel anew the pressure of his
friendly hand."
Commander-in-Chief Russleur made a
sharp attack upon the officers of the Pen
sion Bureau at Washington. He stated
that since he had prepared his annual
address he has seen the Teport of .the
Pension Commissioner, and that It had
made no recommendation as to a remedy
for the alleged existing evils. He, therefore,
urged that the committee be instructed to
prepare charges against the Pension Com
missioner, and that these charges be pre
sented to the. President," asking for an
investigation of the same.
Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, was
then nresented ana spoke at some length
on the pensonqu$stIon.", He reebmmend-1
eit tnat no iorniai pruiesL ub nmue abi""
the present administration of the Pension
Bureau. Senator Hawley was loudly ap
plauded. John H. Palmer, of New York, one of
the leaders iof the conservative element
in the convention, declared to a newspa
per man that 'Commander-in-Chief Ras
sieur's suggestions relative to the pension
officials would not be accepted. It would
bev unwise, he said, for the G. A. R. to
take any such radical steps at this time.
The majority Teport criticises the pres
ent pension system as much,, if not more,
than it does Commissioner Evans. The
minority report states that it is openly
charged. that the pension roll is saturated
with fraud, and contains thousands and
thousands of names not entitled to . the
bounty of the Government, and recom
mends that the President be petitioned,
"now that the term of office of the present
Commissioner has expired, to appoint a
successor of known Integrity, capacity and
fidelity, who will faithfully execute the
duties of the office in obedience to the
laws of Congress."
The place of meeting will be decided at
tomorrow's session of the convention.
The Woman's Relief Corps is In a pros
perous condition, the treasurer's Teport
showing a total in all funds of 512,140, with
no liabilities.
The National Mexican War Veterans'
Association, at its session today, re
ceived telegrams from Mrs. Jefferson Da
vis, Admiral Dewey and others. The fol
lowing dispatch was received from the
widow of General U. S. Grant:
"Coburg. Ont, Sept. 12. The cruel at
tack on our beloved President has entirely
effaced any other thought. But for this
I should have sent you my regrets in a
personal letter. Let me assure you, I hold
your association in most affectionate es
teem, and I want you all to know my
heart is with you as faithfully as it was
long ago, four, long years with Lieutenant
Ulysses S. Grant, your comrade in Mex.
Ico."
Of the 11,000 veterans of the Mexican
War, only 5000 now survive.
CHARGES FALL.. THROUGH;
Nothing to Justify the Removal of
Judge Humphreys.
WASHINGTON,, Sept 12.-i-General
"Knox has concluded his investigation
of the charges filed by the Bar Associa
tion of the .Hawaiian Islands "against
Abram S. Humphreys, first Judge of the
Circuit Court of the First Judicial Dis
trict of Hawaii., He has prepared his
findings, and will submit them to the
President as soon' as practicable.
;The conclusion reached is that Judge
Humphreys has done nothing which would
justify his removal. The Attorney-General
finds that some of he charges were
not- satisfactorily established, and the oth
ers were purely matters, of Innuendo, ut
terly without justification in fact, and
reckless and intemperate in spirit.
Lopes May Make Trouble.
HONOLULU, Sept. 6. Sixto Lopez.
Aguinaldo's agent, made quite a stir here
by his treasonable utterances. He lef
by the Gaelic two days ago for the
Orient, and is understood to be going to
Manila, where, judging by his remarks
here, he- is likely to be a troublesome
factor. Major Robinson, United States
Quartermaster, has sent to General B.
M. Young, of the Department of Califor
nia, a statement of Lopez utterances
while here, with a. view. It is stated, of
having hlmwatched when he reaches the
far East.

DROVE THROUGH A MOB

BURG TJX MIL'L.
Effort Made by Strikers and Sympa
thizers to Keep' Them Ont No
Prospect o Settlement.
PITTSBURG, Sept. 12. With drawn Te
volvers, two policemen sat on the top
seat of a cab and guarded six nonunion
workmen into the Monongahela tinplate
plant, on the South Side, this afternoon.
A great crowd of strikers and sympa
thizers pursued the cab to and from the
mill. The streets in the vicinity of the
Monongahela plant are now virtually in
a state of siege. By a system of signals
and picketing, the strikers of the Monon
gahela plant are able to mobilize a great
crowd on short notice. This Was worked

today to perfection. Up to 3 o'clock the
streets about the plant were deserted,
but when the word was passed that a cab
was en route to the mill wltn six non
unionists, the streets became black with
people in a few moments. When the rig
made its appearance with the armed
guard aboard, pandemonium reigned. The
crowd hooted and a few missiles were
thrown. The horses were whipped into
a gallop and the mill was reached with
out serious damage having been done.
Nine men were taken into the Star tin
mill today without any Interference. The
situation at all of the other plants re
mains unchanged.
An exchange of correspondence has
taken place between J. P. Pearans, presi
dent of the National Tube Works, and
Mayor Black, ' of McKeesport. The for
mer wrote demanding that the ; Mayor
prevent further interference on the part
of the strikers with the operation of the
tube plant by dispersing the crowds which
congregate about the streets leading to
the plants, in other words, the pickets.
The Mayor has replied that he will not
interfere with the strikers so long as
they use only persuasion.
The air was again full of rumors today
that the strike had been settled. The
absence of President Shaffer from Amal
gamated headquarters all day lent color
to the report By many Mr. Shaffer was
supposed to be in New York in confer
ence with President Schwab, and others
were convinced that he was in conference
with the, American tinplate officials dis
cussing a proposition to call the strike
off, so far as that company is con
cerned.. When President Shaffer finally appeared
at headquarters at 4 P. M. he dispelled
all hopes by saying that there was no
change in the situation. Immediately
after arriving at the office Mr. Shaffer
called the national officers to his room
for a conference, which lasted 40 min
utes. Mr. Shaffer later said: "There has
been no conference with the steel people
today, as has been reported. I have not
been to New York, and I am not going
there, nor am' I going to Youngstown."
This latter was said in answer to the
renort that the Yourigstown strikers had
held a meeting this afternoon and had
telegraphed President Shatter asKing mm
to attend 3n adjourned meeting tonight.
ty was said at Amalgamated headquar
ters today that the steel combine had
refused to entertain any further proposi
tions of settlement. This would seem to
strengthen the report from New York
that the situation Is now m just the
shape it was before the first conference
in Cleveland In the hands of the con
stituent companies for settlement. The
officers of the American Steel Hoop Com
pany, the American Tin Plate Company
and the American Sheet Steel Company
are under orders now to start their mills,
either by opening them nonunion or ef
fecting a settlement-with the association
on terms that will be satisfactory to the
New York officials.
WORSE THAN REPORTED.
Thousands Said to Have Been Killed
in Colombia.
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 12. Americans
arriving from South America state that
the Colombian situation is far worse than
reported by the papers. r They say that
probably 25,000 men have been killed since
the beginning of the rebellion. One man
claims to have seen 1000 dead bodies piled
in heaps and consumed by burning. -i
BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORIES.
Contradictory Advices From Col
ombia. " NEW YORK, Sept. 12. According to ad
vices from Colombia received by the Tri
bune, both sides are claiming, victories.
Arturo de Brigard, Colombian Consul-Gen-eral
here, has received communication
from General Cordova, Governor of the
Department of Cauca. He tells of a
government "victory at Puenta Pedra over
the rebel forces of General Barriag and
also of the Insurgent leader, General
Mariana at La Pledras. In this engage
ment. General Cordova says the revolu
tionists lost 200 men. General Eduardo
Vasquez, of the government army, was
also killed In this engagement. The lat
ter was one of the wealthiest and most
influential citizens of Antloquia. Ac
cording to official advices the rebels suf
fered another defeat at El Helechal, de
partment of Santander, in. which one of
their chiefs was killed and another taken
prisoner.
General Cordova also writes that an in
vasion from Ecuador is feared. He,
charges that the President of Ecuador Is
supplying arms and- ammunition to the
revolutionists commanded by General
Rosas for this purpose. The Governor
of Cauca adds: "In a short time we shall
have nearly 20,000 men under arms in this
department."
The information, that came to the local
agent of the rebellion, however, gave an
entirely different aspect to the state of
affairs. -This news tells of aibattle fought
at Macueque, Department of Bovaca,
which lasted several days. The govern
ment division under General Vasquez to
the number' of 3000 attacked a strongly
intrenched force of 100 rebels commanded
by General Benito Hernandez, with the re
sult that the former were repulsed with a
great loss.-. Besides tills the insurgents
secured 10 pack mules, carrying 20,000
cartridges. The scene -of this engage
ment is an excellent strategic point, and
It Is said tnat it will require an army of
more than 5000 to dislodge the Liberals
from their stronghold. It Is not definitely
known how many were killed and wound
ed, but the number Is said to have been
large.
General Urlbe-Uribe Is now said to be In
Santander with 6000 meh. His plan is to
engage the government force from the
front, while General Hernandez and anoth-
er command under General Ardilla from
Ocana attack from,, the rear, thus prac
tically surrounding the principal detach
ment of the government. General, Urlbe
Uribe has lately been joined by General
Rodriguez wh6 sailed from here a short
time ago on the steamer Marapaibo.

NO EVIDENCE AGAINST HER
EMMA GOLDMAN MAX BE RELEASED
FROM JAIL.
This Would Not Mean That the Bot
tom Has Dropped Out of the
' Conspiracy Theory. .
BUFFALO, Sept. 12. The District At
torney here announced publicly this af
ternoon that he had no evidence against
Emma Goldman, and that unless some
turned up, no requisition upon the state
of Illinois would be made for her. This
does not mean that the bottom has
dropped out of the conspiracy theory. It
simply "means that no evidence has yet
been secured to connect her with the
crime. If "she Is released she will be kept
under the closest surveillance, and it will
be easy for the authorities to place their
hands upon her If she Is wanted later.
There Is a hope here, however, that some
way will be found to hold her at least un
til Investigations now in progress by the
secret service people In all the principal
cities where anarchist organizations ex
ist are completed. She was arrested
wholly upon te responsibility of the Chi
cago police under the general order sent
out by Superintendent Bull to apprehend
all persons who might have knowledge
of the attempted assassination. While no
evidence has been found against tha
Goldman woman, the officials are satis
fied tnat Czolgosz crossed her path, and,
in due time, it is believed, whatever con
nection, if any, there was between them,
will be discovered. The secret service men
will trace Czolgosz' whereabouts back,
step by step. One of the things which is
desired Is a complete report of the lec
tures the President's, assailant said in
spired him tcrcommit the deed.
THE ANARCHIST PLATFORM.
Kind of Literature Cxolgosz Has
Been Feeding Upon.
BUFFALO, Sept. 12. The Courier says
this morning:
Superintendent Bull'has now In his pos
session the code of Instructions Imparted
to the selected assassin, Czolgosz. The
platform of the Free' Society was also add
ed to the cumulative evidence of the an
archist conspiracy yesterday. The- docu
ment binds its members together to advo
cate the work for the destruction of the
existing social order, and continues:
"As, in former, times, no privileged class
ever relinquished its tyranny, no more
can we take it for granted that the cap
italists of the present day will forego
their privileges and their authority with
out compulsion. It is therefore self-evident
that the fight of the proletarian
against the upper and the middle classes
must be of a violent character, and that
mere wage conflicts can never lead to
the goal.
"We show by numerous illustrations
that all attempts which have been made
in the past to do away with the existing
monstrous social system through peace
ful means for example, the ballot-box-have
been useless, and will be so in. the
future. We know, therefore, that the

VIEW OF EMMA GOLDMAN.
She Says Her Accusers Are. Comls
to Their Senses.
CHICAGO, Sept. 12. Emma Goldman,
the anarchist agitator, arrested Tuesday,
spent a comfortable night and was ex
tremely cheerful when she arose today.
She was not allowed to see the newspa
pers, but when told that the tenor
of, dispatches indicated a lack of evidence
against her, she smiled and said: "The
gentlemen seem to be coming to their
senses." She then said:
"I would nurse the President of this
country as tenderly as I would a hard
working man whose hands were soiled
with toil. If I were not in jail, and if the
people about the President would let me,
I would nurse him and nurse him well.
To me the President is simply a sick man.
I am a trained nurse, and I have the
sympathy of a woman, the sympathy of
an anarchist for suffering mankind. I
would not be an anarchist: I could not
be, without sympathy. It is not sym
pathy for a ruler, but sympathy for a
man the man who suffers, or the wife
who suffers.
"By what I have said, I do not mean
tp retract other statements I have made
of my opinion of, the President. As a
President my opinion of Mr. McKinley la
not high. Last wjkter I nursed back to
health a woman i ho was an lntimati.
friend of a Philadelphia detective on
whose testimony I served a term of seven
months in 1893.- The officer met me un
expectedlj and in affright begged me not
to revenge myself on the woman for th6
suffering he had caused me. I told him
he did not understand anarchy, but 1
guess he understands now; for never was
woman more tenderly nursed than was
this friend of my persecutor."
Miss Goldman denied that there was
such a thing as a constitution by which
anarchists might be governed.
JO'HANN MOST ARRESTED.
Anarchist Editor Locked Up as- a
"Suspicions Person."
NEW YORK, Sept. 12. Johann Most,
the anarchist, was arrested this evening
and locked up at police headquarters. The
arrest was made by Central Office Detec
tive Fernoson. Herr Most was at his
headquarters in Gold street when the ar
rest was made. Herr Most objected vol
ubly to the arrest, but to no purpose, and
he was locked up at police headquarters
as "a suspicious person." Captain Titus
refused to allow Most to see any one or
to make a statement. The Captain de
clared he would not allow the prisoner to
pose as a martyr before the public.
The complaint against Most, which
covers five and a lialf typewritten pages,
is based on and quotes in full an editorial
which Most printed In the Freiheit, the
organ of the anarchists, and of which
Most is the editor.

The Anarchist Wns Sweated, but
Refnscd to Divulge Anything;.
SANTA FE, N. M., Sept. 12. Magglo,
the anarchist, has been taken from Sil
ver City to Albuquerque, where he was
cross-examined and sweated, but refused

assassinated. He was bound over for
courrt on the charge of conspiracy to
murder.
LEAVENWORTH, Kan., Sept. 12. Se
cret Service detectives who have been
in Leavenworth since Monday night look
ing up evidence against Antonio Maggio,
who Is under arrest In New Mexico,
charged with having knowledge of a plot
to kill President McKinley, are said to
have hinted that the Italian knows more
about the alleged plot than Is generally
supposed. They examined Frank Mag-
gio, the suspect's brother, and made in
quiries for an Italian musician who was
chummy with Antonio,, and whose present
whereabouts are unknown. The detectives
left the city last night and were followed
today by a third Secret Service man who
continues the investigation with the aid
of the local police.
FRICK AND THE ANARCHISTS.
Visibly Affected at the News of the
Attempted. Assassination.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12. H. C. Frlck,
who arrived here from London on the
Oceanic, was visibly affected by the re
ports of the attempted assassination of
President McKinley, and of the latest
news that besides the would-be assassin
Czolgosz, Emma Goldman was already la
custody.
Ii will be remembered that at the time
of the riots at the iron mills at Home
stead, Pa., in 1S92. Alexander Berkmann
attempted to kill Mr. Frlck at his office
at Pittsburg. Emma Goldman was the
closest friend of Berkmann, and was
later arrested as an accomplice, but for
lack of proof was discharged. Berkmann
is now serving out a long sentence In the
Pittsburg Penitentiary.
"I hope that the President will live. His
death would be a serious blow to the
great commercial Interests of this coun
try, which have grown along such health
ful lines during his term at the head of
our Government," said Mr. Frlck. "The
country cannot afford to lose him." ,
When requested to talk on the subject
of personal anarchistic attacks, Mr.
Frlck said:
"I do not care to discuss such matters.
Sufficient it is to bear the marks of three
stab wounds and two bullet wounds," and
Mr. Frlck pointed to a scar above his col
lar on the left side of his neck.
Power Lies "Within Congresa.
NEW YORK, Setft. 12. General Ben
jamin Tracy holds that Congress has pow
er to pass a law providing for absolute
punishment for crimes like that of Czol
gosz without any Constitutional amend
ments. General Tracy is quoted as say
ing: "It ha3 been suggested that a crime
such as that which startled the whole
country last Friday should be made trea
son. It Is Impossible, for treason In this
country Is clearly defined and Hmjted by
the Constitution Itself to armed resis
tance to the power of the Government, or
to giving aid and comfort to Its enemies.
"The same result, however, can be
reached In another way. There Is such a
thing as a breach of the peace of the
United States to be distinguished from a
breach of peace of the commonwealth or
state, and the Federal Government un
doubtedly has the power to prescribe a
suitable penalty for a breach of the
peace."
Connell and Powderly Working.
SCRANTON, Pa., Sept. 12. Congress
man 'William Connell and Commissioner
General of Immigration Powderly are in
communication regarding the drafting of
a series of bills tending .to deter anarch
ical crimes like that of last Friday at
Buffalo. Mr. Powderly will work on the
revision of the laws relating to Immigra
tion so as to prohibit the landing of an
archists. Congressman Connell will look
after the matter of penalizing assaults
on the person of the President and other
officials. Mr. Connell proposes to have
such assaults made a treasonable offense,
and declares that if the Constitution
stands in the way he will not stop short
of an effort to change the Constitution.
Where the Czolgoszs Hail From.
POSEN, Polish Prussia, Sept. 12. The
family of Leon Czolgosz, the anarchist,
who attempted to assassinate President
McKinley. halls from Cerkklwce, near
Senin, in the Province of Posen.
Praised by British Medical Journals.
LONDON, Sept. 12. The Lancet warmly
praises the thorough hospital arrange
ments at Buffalo. It says:
"Considering the nature of the Injury,
the President doubtless owed hl3 life to
the perfect emergency equipment of the
Exposition, which is characteristic of
American thoroughness and was made for
use and not for show."
The British Medical Journal says:
"The details of the McKinley bulletins
are sufficient to justify the assertion that
the treatment of the case, In promptitude
and complete efficiency, ranks aa one of
the greatest achievements of abdominal
surgery recorded."
The Journal compliments the high skill
and courage of the attending physicians.
Liability for Unsigned Notes.
HELENA, Mont, Sept. 12. The Na
tional Bank of Montana today brought
an action in the District Court against
the Great Northern Express Company to
determine the liability of the company for
$40,000 of unsigned notes consigned to the
bank, secured by the Great. Northern
trainrobbers at Malta, Mont, July S last.
The action is brought to test-the act of
1892, which provides that unsigned cur
rency shall be recognized as money. The
express company alleges that the act is
unconstitutional, and that Its liability
cannot exceed the actual cost of ma
terial and workmanship In the bills. The
question has never been in the courts.

MAY SEEK OTHER WATERS
EXPERT SAYS SALMON DO NOT ALWAYS-RETURN
TO SAME RIVER.
Fish Hatcheries Benefit AH Stream
in. Their Vicinity Other Ex
amples Cited.
ASTORIA, Sept 12. A private letter was
received here today from United Stat?
Fish Commissioner H. M. Smith, stationed
at Woods Hole, Mass., In which the wri
ter discusses some points relative to arti
ficial propagation of salmon. He says:
"One point that requires special nutue
Is a widespread but erroneous belief con
cerning the habits of salmon namely, that
salmon and other anadromous fish return
when mature to the particular stream In.
which they were hatched. This view, be
sides ascribing to fish a higher order of
intelligence than is possessed by other
animals, is unnecessary in order to ex
plain the migrations of salmon or to
make a case for fish-culture.
"While much remains to be learned
about the oceanic life of fish, which pass
a short part of their existence in fresh
water for purposes of reproduction, there
is absolutely no evidence that they are
competent to discriminate between the
tributaries of a given stream, like the
Columbia, or even between different river
basins. According to the present views
of fish students, the salmon which, arc
destined to run in a particular stream are
to be found In the ocean off the mouth of
that stream (how far and at what depth
being undetermined), and are probably
not given to. extensive movements up and
down the coast if they have suitable feed
ing grounds in the proximity of the
stream. It therefore follows that when,
under tha Influence of the spawning In
stinct, they move Inshore, they are more
likely to return to their native stream
than to enter other fresh waters,, although
a variety of conditions unfavorable tem
perature, storms, currents, enemies, etc.
may divert or deflect Individuals or schools
up or down the coast until they coma
within the range of other streams.
"Supposing that a particular lot of sal
mon hatched In a given river basin. Teturn
to that basin to spawn, It Is an unneces
sary and unsupported contention that thejr
will Invariably seek the particular tribu
tary in which thoy were hatched or plant
ed. They will, if all the conditions ar
favorable; but all or somo of them may
enter another tributary If It has similar
conditions; and it is conceivable that all
the salmon, hatched or planted In a given
tributary in one year may, when they re
turn to the main river, go Into another
tributary, owing to unsuitable water, ob
structions, etc. at the mouth of the river
of their nativity.
"The foregoing considerations warrant
the belief (1) that a hatchery located any
where In a river basin benefits all the
streams in that basin; (2) that In the scat
tering of the schools that must necessari
ly ensue during the several years of their
ocean life, some of the fish artificially
propagated must enter adjacent streams;
and (3) that there is nothing to prevent
artificially or naturally hatched salmon
representing, sayr Columbia, River stock,
from ultimately finding their way into
tributaries of Puget Sound or SRn Fran
cisco Bay, although it does not necessarily
follow that this Is of common occurrenee.
"The fishing Interests of the Pacific
Coast have in. the shad and the striped
bass an excellent object lesson on the
behavior of anadromous fish in the mat
ter under discussion. Both of these spe
cies are similar to the salmon In their
spawning habits, differing from the sal
mon only in not dying after once spawn
ing. The shad was Introduced on the
Pacific Coast about 25 years ago, and has .
succeeded in distributing itself along sev- f
erai inousmiu muos ui uiw veoirji ara-
board from very small plants of fry in
Sacramento River at Tehama, . PI
were subsequently made in the Columbia,
but before that time the full-grown ftsh
had appeared in that river as the result
of a gradual extension northward from
the Sacramento. The case of the strlyt-J
bass is similar, but less striking, assmail
plants In the Sacramento region have aa
yet produced a noteworthy run only in
the rivers of Northern California, in ad- '
ditlon to the tributaries of San Franclscoi
Bay. although the fish has been taken
as far south as Los Angeles County, and
north to the Rogue River, and will un
doubtedly, in the natural course of-events,
reach the Columbia and probably Puget
Sound in numbers.
"The United States Fish Commission,
which has been experimentally marking
young salmon for some years, has not
been satisfied with the accuracy of the re
sults which have apparently attended the
removal of the adipose dorsal fin. and la
now repeating the experiments, by mark
ing young fish with definite lines

and answers to a number of disputed
questions may thus be afforded."
DRESSING UP FOR SUICIDE.
Said to Be an Invariable Rule With,
Women Selcing Death.
New York Sun.
"Tf I ever should be called upon ta
furnish indisputable proof of the Inherent
pride of woman." said a police sergeant,
"I would point at once to her invariable
rule of dressing up in her best clothes
when she goes out to commit suicide.
In my experience on the force I have
had occasion to handle a good many
suicides and afterward investigate their
personal affairs, and In every instance
I have found that the poor unfortunates
prepared themselves for death by donning
their best bib and tucker.
"The majority of the printed reports of
suicides say that the clothes of the dead
woman wero 'good,' or 'well made,' or
'elegant' If the woman contemplating
suicide owns a silk waist, she wears it
Her broadcloth skirt and silk petticoat
naturally go with this garment, and she
selects her best shoes.
"I havo looked up the history of many
of these respectably clad suicides, and
havo found that they owned but one
gown with which they could make a de
cent appearance on the street, and that
that one good dress was choeen. without
exception, as the appropriate garb in
which to make the exit from thfer world's
stage. It makes no difference what man
ner of death is chosen, the costume 13
