ANARCHISTS OF. tORDON
LISTEVED TO A-YIOLEXT ADDRESS
BY A KEW YOBK AGITATOR.
Assassination of .President SIcKinley
Applauded' as a"Deed of Heroism"
: . The Standard's Protest.
JONDON, Oct 7. A" falrjy well-attended
;meeting of anarchists -was held
yesterday la, a hall,Ja Tottenham. Cpurt
road, London, to hear a lecture tm' the
assassination of President McKinley, by
R, Kelly, of New Y6'rk. The' audience,
largely composed of foreigners, applauded
all refrenee to "Saint" CSsolgosz and his
"meritorious" act. The speakers Included
Enrico-"Malkfesfa. -the. "Italian anarchist,
who described the assassination as "a
deed of heroism." Kfelly45 lecture was a
wild harangue in denunciation of McKin
ley' political career, He declared that
"JKey-dnnhoFiry To "3ustfty assassination,
but rather to explain It as the outcome
of "the oppression of workmen by capi
tal." "If the Wiling ot McKinley opens the
eyes of capitalists and Induces them to
treat the working people better," cried
the agitator, "then great good will have
been done."
The Standard, protesting editorially
against the .holding of the .meeting, saysi
"'We publish a report for the purpose
of drawing attention to the criminal
methods that are practiced In. our. very
midst It may be allowed that the form
of Kelly.s address was, not specially vio
lent, part bf it being only vulgar abuse.
Yet he went quite far enough, to call for
the notice of those whose duty It Is to
stop 'apologies for murder. "We do not
"want any Kelly among us, engaged in fa
miliarizing Englishmen with such mis
chief. Society Is entitled to protect
Itself against the teachers of these doc
trines." JAPANESE LAIVD OWNERSHIP.
General Movement Started in Favor
of Foreigners.
YOKOHAMA, Sept 21. A subject upon
which all the leading journals are now
Calling Into line is the movement in favor
af foreign land ownership. It begins to
be clearly seen that the privilege Is an
essential prerequisite to the greatly de
sired introduction of foreign -capital, and
the pressure being brought to bear to
bring about the change will doubtless re
sult In favorable legislation at the coming
session of the Diet Japan will then, at
least, be iully thrown open to the world
And the .final Temnant of the influence of
the old regime will have disappeared.
A reassuring sign of the growth of
public sentiment in favor of commercial
honesty is the attitude of almost the en
tire native press in -denouncing the at
tempt of one of the national banks to
evade tis liabilities by pleading that Its
manager, though regularly appointed by
the board of directors, had not been
properly registered.
A very serious disturbance took place
Thursday last at Yokohama, the seat of
one of the Japanese navy yards, the
troops being called out to suppress a
riot Some 300 bluejackets from various
ships attacked a house in the Yoshiwara
district where one of their number was
alleged to have suffered some grievance.
The police being summoned, the sailors
drew knives and pistols. The arrival of
the troops, however, soon quelled the dis
turbance, but not till after severe in
juries were inflicted upon a half dozen of
the combatants.
The arrival of Mr. Komura, the Japan
ese Minister to China, who is now to
become Minister of Foreign Affairs, In
the new Cabinet, -was yesterday made
the occasion of a cordial "welcome. Mr.
Komura Is -well known In America, hav
ing been Minister at Washington. He la
a Harvard graduate.
The presents sent by the Emperor of
"China to the Emperor of Japan on the
occasion of the recent embassy of apol
ogy, are of the richest and most gorgeous
description, showing that looting has by
no means denuded China of its choicest
treasures.
The tidings of the death of President
McKinley came as a great shock to the
foreign community, as well as to the en
tire tiation, and the day of the funerai
was one of general mourning, business be
ing almost entirely suspended. The event
has called forth whatever still remained
latent in the feeling of warm friendship
-with the United States, the native papers
vicing -with each other In expressions of
grief and sympathy.

JEWS IN RUSSIAN SCHOOLS
Unequal Treatment in the Higher
Institutions.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 23. The uni
versities have resumed work quietly.
There are no present indications of fer
mentation, though the most stringent en
forcement of the exceptional restriction
of the' attendance of Jewish youths In the
intermediate schools, the universities and
the other higher educational institutions
is causing much heartburning. There are
two universities within "the Jewish pale,"
'as the district where Jews may live with
out special permission Is called. At these
Institutions, at Warsaw and Odessa, Jew
ish students were formerly allowed up to
10 per cent of the total attendance. This
had been' Teduced, temporarily at least, to
7 per cent Outside the pale the Jewish
attendance was formerly limited to 5 per
cent It Is now not exceeding 3 per cent.
At the two capital universities, St Peters
burg and Moscow, the Jewish attendance
allowed was still further limited to 3 per
cent Now not exceeding 2 per cent of
the students in these universities may be
Jews. In certain special Institutions, as
the technical colleges, no rulo seems to
be followed. At the Technological Insti
tute at St Petersburg, no Jewish stu
dents were received this year.
It la said that General van Noflsky,
Minister of Education, recently received
a Jewish deputation which came to beg
for lrss unequal treatment He replied In
substance "that he was appointed by the
Emperor to look after the education of
Christian youths, not Jews.
Comparative statistics of "Russian for
eign trade during the first six months of
the last three years have appeared. The
total movement was 584,000,000 rubles,
compared to 565,000,000 In 1500, and 5S9.000,
000 in 1S99. The exports were 31S.000.000,
or 54.5 per cent, the imports 265,000,000, or
45.5 per cent The exports have grown
to all countries except the United States,
Belgium and Sweden. The exports to the
United States amounted to 1,643,000 "rubles
In 1901; 2,103,000 in 1900 and 1.397.000 in 1829.
The Imports from the United States were
20,739.000 In J901; ftG.257,000 in 1900, and 24.
857.000 in 1899. The falling off of Ameri
can exports to Russia is, therefore in
percentages almost precisely the same as
the falling off in Russian exports to
America.
Russia Is continuing her efforts to in
crease her Eastern trade. A new bank,
which will be devoted chiefly to Persian
commerce, will shortly begin operations

PUBLIC INTEREST SMALL.
Tightness In Money and African
Ifevfs Depresses Prices In London.
LONDON, Oct 6. A certain tightness In
money, not quite anticipated, the after
affects of the copper -scare, and the- ad
verse reports regarding the war In South
Africa, all tended to create the slight de
clines that marked the Stock Exchange
last week. Public Interest also continued
extremely small and the markets were
pretty much left to themselves. Although
some gold Is still expected to go fo New
York, foreign demands have thus far
been comparatively unimportant, the ar
rivals from the Cape and other points
being fully able to make up any drain.
Consols were fractionally lower. South
Africans all suffered on the reverses re
ported by Lord Kitchener.
Americans suffered from lack of inter
est The Steel Trust dividend continues
to create unbounded satisfaction, but
without any resulting appreciation In
quotations. American railroads were
rather expected to pick up simultane
ously with the announcement of the steel
dividend and "with the collapse of the
copper scare, but these expectations failed
of realization, owing somewhat to rumors
that the Standard Oil interest was bear
ing the market and that disagreement still
existed among the leading financiers in
America, Nevertheless, tho financial
writers see no adverse signs either in
money, stocks or business prospects in
Great Britain or America, except, perhaps,
so far as the war in South Africa Is con
cerned, and this has become such a nor
mal nightmare to the Stock Exchange
that even perpetual Reverses would noi
be likely to affect gravely the "financial
oftlook.
The Berlin Bourse.
BERLIN, Oct. C The first half of last
week brought a moderate recovery in
values, for which no sufficient omiRn -cm:
goffered In the reports from the Industrial
centers. During the latter half of the
week the bourse relapsed Into Its former
pessimistic mood. Yesterday tho falls In
industrials -were quite heavy. American
railroads were in better demand, as also
Were- Canadians.
FOUR TRAINMEN KILLED. -
Rear -End Collision of Freight
JTrnlns on the Panhandle Road.
IIjOGANSPORT, Ind., Oct 6. Tour Pan
handle trainmen met death near Onward,
14 miles southeast of here, today, in a
rear-end collision of freight trains, the
bodies of three being taken out badly
mutilated and the fourth being almost en
tirely consumed by fire. The dead are:
ELBERT GREELEY, Conductor.
THOMAS H. BROSIUS, flagman,
S. A. GALBREATH, bralceman.
JOHN HUTCHINSON, fireman.
Frank Patterson, the engineer, was In
jured. During the night. Conductor "Weaver, in
charge of the second section of train No.
79, an engine and two cabooses, left Hart
ford City for Logansport In the rear
caboose were Galbreath, Brosius and
Greeley, who had been working on the
gravel train at Hartford City and who
were en route to this city to spend Sun
day with their families. They were all
asleep when the train stopped near On
ward to make up steam. The flagman
was sent out to watch for the third sec
tion from the east, and no danger was
thought of until the train loomed tip too
close for any to escape except Weaver,
who jumped and got oft uninjured. The
third section, with Engineer Frank Pat
terson, had attained high speed, and when
it struck the rear caboose the engine
reared Into the air, turned clear around
and came down on its side in the ditch,
smashing a number of cars into kindling
wood and burning in the debris the sleep
ing trainmen and Hutchinson, the fireman
for Patterson.

ONLY WAY TO SAVE' HER
MISSION BOARD URGED TO RAISE
RANSOM FOR MISS STONE.
Boston Bank That Is Handling the
Funds Was Open Yesterday, Re
ceiving Over $4000. .
BOSTON. Oct. 5. The urgency of the
case of Miss Stone, the missionary held
for ransom by brigands In Bulgaria,
brought together the members of the pru
dential committee of the American Board
for two hours today. Later the commit
tee issued a statement based upon the
views of President Samuel B. Capen, of
the board, and the secretary, Rev. Dr.
Judson Smith, as the result of their visit
to "Washington yesterday.
Both gentlemen had interviews with
President Roosevelt and the officials of
the State Department It was made plain
to them, they told the prudential com
mittee, that the only certain way to se
cure the release of Miss Stone and save
her life would be the payment of a ran
som. The committee was informed that
the Government, by reason of Constitu
tional restriction, is unable to pay the
ransom. The committee was also made
aware of the fact that the 'American
Board has. ho money with which to save
Miss Stone. The only practical way,
therefore, was shown to be a populrfr sub
scription, which has -already been start
ed. The committee heartily approved
this and began sending telegrams to many
parts of the country urging subscriptions.
The corriralttee says that In view of the
spirit, with which the -appeal is received,
there is strong ground for the hope that
the amount will be obtained speedily. In
every possible way the American Board
will co-operate both by gift and solicita
tion. President, Capen says that the Gov
ernment at Washington, both the Presi
dent and the State Department have done,
are doing and will continue to do all that
Is lrr their power to procurefhe release
of Miss Stone.
The -firm of Kidder, -Peabody-& Co.,
which is handling the funds, kept Its) of
fice open today. Late In the afternoon a
statement "of the day's receipts was made,
the toutf-.being $4325 75, -with ?640 addi
tional in pledge.
At the Park-Street Church Rev. Dr.
Wlthrow presented the case of Miss Stone
strongly, assurlh'g his hea'rers that if the
money Is not used for her ransom It
will be returned to the donors, as the
chances are "that the United States Gov
ernment will make the Turkish Govern
ment pay a heavy indemnity for the out
rage." At the Shawmut Congregational Church,
Rev. W. T. McElween said that, while
he did not wish to discourage the present
movement for. Miss Stone's release, yet
the whole thing appears to him to estab
lish a bad precedent. He thought there
must be some efficacy in a first-class
battle-ship with decks cleared for action.
In his opinion the brigands were playing
a game of bluff and had no idea of as
sassinating their prisoner.
Rev. Dr. Lorlmer, at Tremont Temple;
Rev. John Galbralth, at the Bloomfield
M. E. Church; Rev. S. E. Herrlck, at
the Mount Vernon Church on Beacon
street also presented the appeal, and sim
ilar action was taken in other churches.
Dr. Herrick's congregatlo subscribed $185
but other pastors asked donors to send
their contributions to Kidder, Peabody &
Co. The sum of 51500 was given by mem
bers of the First Congregational Church
of Chelsea. This is the church of which
Miss Stone is a member.
Just how much money has been given
for the ransom of Miss Stone is not
known tonight Those directing the ef
fort In her behalf hope that the response
throughout the country will be very lib
eral, and that It is now fully $100,000, If
not the exact amount which is ?120,000. In
Boston and vicinity the amount on hand
from a-number of sources reaches nearly
$30,000. and there are a host of churches
to hear from. Tomorrow morning's mall
is expected to bring in many thousands
of dollars additional, making it possible
for Boston alone to raise over one-third of
the total amount The belief is general
here that the country at large will care
for two-thirds of tho ransom money, so
that It will be ready by Thursday noon.
The family of Miss Stone had no news
today, and the American Board could
give out nothing to throw light on the
missionary's predicament.
Fears of Cleveland Clergymen.
CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 6. The several
evangelical denominations in. this city will
take action tomorrow in, the matter of
raising a fund to secure the release of
Miss Stone. The fear Is expressed by
Cleveland clergymen that if a large ran
som Is paid for Miss Stone's release, It
will be an incentive for similar occur
rences. No Chicago. Subscription Known,
CHICAGO, Oct. 6. Whatever money, if
any, has been raised for Miss Stone thus
far in Chicago or other cities west of the
Alleghany Mountains has been sent di
rectly to Boston. Secretary A. N. Hitch
cock, of the Western Board of Foreign
Missions, said tonight that he knew of no
subscriptions here. Inquiries by the As
sociated Press in a dozen other Western
cities brought similar replies.
TRIBUTE OF OHIOANS.
McKinley Memorial Meeting at
Washington.
WASHINGTON, Oct 6. The sons and
daughters of the late President MoKIn
ley's native State of Ohio, who are now
residents of Washington, paid a last pub
lic, tribute to the memory of their Con
gressman, Governor and President in a
largely attended meeting at Chase's Op-era-House.
Tho gathering was held under
the ausjplces of the Ohio Republican Asso
ciation, but was not confined to Ohloans.
About 3000 persons were present. The dec
orations were appropriate to the occasion.
The Marine Band furnished the music,
and was stationed on the stage diroctly
under a large portrait of McKinley, which
was draped in graceful folds of black,
the wholo surrounded by an immense
American flag. The meeting was presided
over by Colonel J. H. Brigham, assistant
-Secretary of Agriculture.
The speeches were full of expressions
of love and honor for the memory of Mr.
McKinley, and dwelt on the virtues and
.qualities that had endeared him to tho
people. Several of the speakers took oc
casion to denounce the anarchists in un
measured terms, and advised that drastic
measures be taken against them. An in
teresting feature of the meeting was the
reading of a letter from Dr. M. D. Mann,
one of the President's physicians, to the
secretary of the association. It 'was dat
ed Buffalo, September 2(), and said:
"As President McKinley was dying, I
stood behind a screen In his room and
heard him say his last words. His wife
came into the room and ho said to her:
"Good-bye, all, good-bye. It is God's
way. His will be done, not ours." There
was some further conversation with his
wife in the way of leave-taking, but
this should not be repeated. About an
hour later he said to his wife: ' "Nearer,
my God, to thee, e'en tho it be -a cross,''
has been my constant prayer.' He tried
to say something more, but I could not
catch it I gave out at the time the first
sentence as being the most appropriate to
be remembered as his last words. 1 wrote
them down at the time, so that there
can be no question about it."
A letter from President Roosevelt, re
gretting his Inability to be present, was
read.
Plagne Disappears From Canton.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. United States
Consul McWade, at Canton, China, in a
mail report dated August 5 last, reports
that the plague then had almost entirely
disappeared from Canton, and the hospital
boats for the treatment of patients had
been transferred from their moorings In
the Pearl River, opposite Canton, to tem
porary stations below the leper village. It
Is safe to assume, according to the Con
sul, that the epidemic is fast disappearing
from the district of Swatow and its Im
mediate vicinity.
NOT A SHOT FIRED.
Hostile Armies on Colombian Fron
tier at "Shonldcr Arms."
CARACAS, Venpzuela, Oct. 6. An en
voy of the Venezuelan Government, who
has just arrived at Maracalbo from the
Colombian frontier, wires the corre
spondent of the Associated Press at Car
acas as follows:
"For two weeks prior to October 3 the
Venezuelan troops concentrated between
San Cristobal and Cucutai, estimated at
8000 mens had not discharged a single shot
against the Colombians massed before
them under the command of General Va
lencia, and estimated at 6000. Bdth sides
remained continually at 'shoulder arms.'
The Government of Venezuela, before at
tacking, awaits the answer of Colombia
to the Venezuelan note. Three thousand
Venezuelans are also massed at Guajira."
OPPOSITION TO CASTRO.
Leader of the Venezuelan Libcrnls
Discusses the Political Situation.
WILLEMSTAD.-jIsland of Curacao, Sat
urday, Oct. 5. Today a representative of
the Associated Press interviewed Dr. Al
ejandro Urbaneja, president of the ex
ecutive committee of the Venezuelan Na
tionalist Revolutionary party, regarding
the political situation. Dr. Urbaneja is
the virtual leader of the party and the
personal representative of "El Mocho"
General Hernandez. He was a Cabinet
Minister under ex-President CrespO, and
is a prominent lawyer. Today he Is In
exile In Curacao. )
"The Nationalists at the present time,"
said Dr. Urbaneja, "have passively wit
nessed President Castro's attitude and ac
tions toward Colombia, but they are now
compelled to protest against them. Neith
er the Nationalists nor the country at
large have ever sustained the actions of
Castro, actions which now promise an
international war. The Nationalists do
not deslra war with a sister republic,
nor would they follow Castro in such
a war. On the contrary, they, as' well
as the country at large, would refuse
to participate.
"If Colombia had ever really offended
Venezuela there would be rto necessity
for Castro's" forcible recruiting, as at
present, in order to obtain an army to
punish the offending country. In such
an event all Venezuelans would loyally
and enthusiastically join to punish the
offenders. In any event I do not think
President Caatro will declare war against
Colombia. In the first place, to do so
legally, he must obtain the consent of
the Venezuelan Congress, which will
not convene before February next. In
the second place, I do not believe the
members of the Venezuelan Congress, al
though they are all partisans of President
Castro, would ever consent to a ruinous
war with Colombia In order to help Co
lombia revolutionists.
"Neither do I believe In the possibility
of reconstruction of 'Gran Colombia' by
force of arms. Bolivar's achievement was
effected Under certain special conditions
that do not exist today. Perhaps a
'Gran Colombia' is possible through
peaceful, Intellectual operations, but
never by military force. All the talk
now Indulged In on this subject is mere
pretext, a blind to cover the personal
ambition of a few men.
"President Castro recently ordered the
imprisonment of all Nationalists in Vene
zuela. This convinces me that he does
not intend to declare war against Co
lombia, because, after eliminating the
Nationalists, there would be compara
tively few Venezuelans left who could be
counted upon to supply the men and
money needed to wage hostilities against
Colombia.
"My principal reason for not believing
a declaration of war will be made
lies In President Castro's attitude toward
the Internal political situation. If he
intended to declare war he would at
tempt to uriite all Venezuelans of all
political creeds in a solid front against
Colombia. Quite the contrary Is the
case. He Is persecuting the numerous
Nationalists, and the latter will before
long lose patience, turn on their tor
mentor actively and in arms and declare
against him in retaliation. In the im
probable event of his declaring against
Colombia, President Castro would receive
only the support of a few of the most
extreme of hls partisans. The others
would desert him.
"Concerning 'El Mocho,' who is a pris
oner at San Carlos, I can say that, not
withstanding his continuous solitary
confinement In a dark and Unveritllated
cell, notwithstanding the chains on his
arms and legs, the lack of exercise, and
the wretched food, his health is endur
ing the severe strain."
AN IMAGINARY WAR,
Sarcastic Comments by the Press of
Germany.
BERLIN, Oct. 6. The Hamburgische
Correspondente publishes the surprising
statement that the Venezuelan Consul at
Hamburg, whose authority Is the Vene
zuelan Minister in Paris, declares the
reports of war and revolution from South
America to be false, and alleges that
peace Is undisturbed, adding that Presi
dent Castro believes such rumors are
spread by the United States in order to
sidetrack European interests likely to be
obstructive to the endeavors of the United
States in South America. The German
press Is generally sarcastic in dealing with
tho subject.
The Lokal Anzeiger, under the caption,
"A War Comedy," says: "While the
Boers are fighting desperately, across the
Atlantic a military-political comedy is
being performed. War was declared. As
soon as the Colombian troops shot to kill,
Venezuela- suddenly announced that no
body thought of war, and the Venezuelan
Minister in Paris was ordered to explain
to Europe."
The Klelne Journal, under the heading,
"An Imaginary War," says: "For a
fortnight the world was under the im
pression that a war was In. progress in
Central and South America. The latest
dispatches show that this was only the
Imagination of the American reporters,
and that not a shot had been fired."

13, for the purpose of devising some plan

higher wages and better conditions of
employment The call Is the outcome of
the meeting at Parkersburg a week ago.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 6. Charged
with kidnaping a woman and holding her
a prisoner for four days, robbing her of
jewels worth more than $2000 and com
pelling her to sign bank checks for large
sums of money, two newspaper men, a
stenographer in a newspaper office and
a barber are now locked up at the po
lice station. They are Howard K. Sloan,
an unemployed reporter; Henry Wallace,
society editor of one of the morning pa
pers; J. Knight Findlay, of Wayne, near
here, stenographer in the business of
fice of another morning paper, and Oscar
S. Dunlap, a barber employed in one of
the most prominent shops in the city.
The victim is Mrs. Mabel Goodrich, the
proprietress of an establishment on North
Tenth street. Last Monday Mrs. Good
rich went to police headquarters and said
that for some time past a young man who
represented himself as a resident of Gcr
mantown had been a frequent visitor at
her establishment. He was well dressed
and spent money freely. Last Wednesday
week, she said, he proposed a drive
through Falrmourit Park. He asked her
to dress in h.er best clothes and to wear
all her diamonds- and other jewelry, as
on the' return from the drive he Intended
to take .her to the finest dining-room in
the city, and he wanted her to "shine"
with the other women in ibr place.
She accepted, arid 'the next day she went
out-wlth him In a carriage with a pair ot
richly caparisoned horses, and with a
coachman" on the box wearing a stylish
livery.' At a lonely "place In Falrmount
,Papk the carriage was stopped by a man
whom she said represented himself as D.
Clarence Glbbbny, secretary 'and attorney
for the Law and Order Society of this
city. This man, she went on to say, told
her that he had a warrant for her arrest
on the. charge of keeping a- disorderly
house, but that the matter could be fixed
up. He was Invited Into the "carriage, and
the next moment she was gagged and
blindfolded.- She was .driven somewhere,
sha did not know where, but she noticed
from one corner of the handkerchief ovei
here eyes that the men had paid toll at
two tollgates, and that they took her Into
a building where a fire engine and a
hook and ladder truck were standing.
She was kept a prisoner from Tuesday
night until Friday night, without anything
to eat or drink, and was then taken on
another long drive, blindfolded, to a
house where she was kept from Friday
until Monday. In the latter place the
men, who were masked, stripped Ijer of
the jewelry and at the point of a re
volver compelled her to sign bank checks
for various sums of money sb.-j had de
posited in the Third National Bank.
They made her sign for more than she
possessed, but compelled her to -promise
that she would make up the deficiency
when they released her. The men, she
said, then took her on another long drive
and put her out of the carriage at Tenth
and Poplar streets, about a mile from her
house.
With other information the woman gave
them, the detectives began to work on
what they believed to be a fairy tale.
They got several clews which led them
to a fire engine house In Fort Wayne,
15 miles from this city. The fire com
pany la a volunteer organization, and
the key to the place was kept In the
nearest dwelling. The nearest house was
occupied by a family named Findlay, and
there the police learned that one of the
sons, J. Knight Findlay, had been home
but little during the past two weeks.
Getting a description of him the police
returned to the city and found the young
man, who is only 21 years old. In the
6fflce where he Is employed. He was
charged with the crime and broke down
and Implicated three others.
Findlay said that he had impersonated
the coachman; that Sloan, the unemployed
reporter, acted the part of Attorney Gib
bony; that tjie barber played the part of
the rich G-ermantown resident, and that
Wallace, the society editor, had rented
a house In Germantown, where Mrs.
Goodrich was to have been held a captive.
He told substantially the same story as
that narrated by the woman. He said
that they kept her confined in the flre
house and then took' her to a house at
2556 North Twelfth street, where Sloan
was arrested yesterday. The plan to keep
her in the Wallace house in German
town was abandoned in favor of the
Sloan house.
Sloan, " the police say, conceived the
whole plot, and it was he that got the
barber into it He had asked Dunlap
to play the part of the rich man "and
get Mrs. Goodrich out doors so that he
could serve the warrant on her for keep
ing a disorderly house. He did not re
veal the real purpose of the scheme to
the barber.
All the jewelry was recovered, most
of It having been found in the posses
sion of Findlay and Sloan, who were'
wearing several of the ring's. Only dne
check for $155 was cashed, and most of
this money was also recovered. Sloan was
to have begun work on the samo news
paper on which Findlay was employed
tombrrow. Wallace has been society edi
tor of the paper on which he was em
ployed for only two weeks.
EXCITEMENT AT PUEBLO.
Murderous Assault Upon Women and
Girl.'
PUEBLO, Colo., Oct. 6. This city Is in
great excitement over a series of mur
derous assaults upon women and girls.
From what can be learned they seem to
have been committed by the same person,
a negro or a very dark white man with
his face blackened. Last night, Mrs.
James P. Henderson was a victim, being
half killed with a club while alone in
her home, the assailant having Induced
her to admit him by pretending he had a
telegram. He stole a revolver when he
departed. Later, a girl in a family named
Hamilton was terribly choked by a man
who bad forced his way in. He left on
the bed where the girl had been sleeping,
tho sime revolver stolen at the other
place. Mrs. HIckey, who was struck down
while riding a bicycle two nights ago,
Is still at the point of death with a frac
tured skull and can give no clear , ac
count of what occurred. Two very young
girls had recently been victims of as
saults of the most atrocious description.
In another case a negro who seized a
young lady on the porch of her home,
was chased two blocks by a young man
who came out, but escaped. The police
have been unable to get any definite In
formation. Report comes late tonight of
another case, which Is now being Investi
gated. Rev. McCnmmisli Exonerated.
CARBONDALE, 111., Oct. 6. The Coro
ner's Jury, summoned to inquire into the
killing of John C. Brown on the streets
of this city yesterday, rendered a verdict
last night, exonerating Rev. Joseph Mc
Cammish, who shot him. Brown, Jeal
6us of the preacher, attacked him with
a knife on the public square, but Mc
Cammlsh, who had been told that Brown
had threatened to' kill him, was armed
and shot his assailant through the lung.
Mr. Gillette and the Fisherman.
Harper's "Weekly.
WHIIam Gillette, the actor, hides him
self In Summer as far away from Crowds
and newspaper personals as possible.
Often he uses his time constructing a new
work, which Nat Goodwin calls "the Gil
lette playa thing that acts Itself." One
Summer Gillette hired a yaoht, and. as
he tells the story, it was a craft wlthbut
an equal. With a few friends he set sail
from New York and proceeded by way
of the sound upon a cruise. They kept
close to the shore, and a week or bo after
they left New York were drifting leisure
ly by a point ot land, at the end of
which sat a, solemn Yankee fishing. In a
few hours the boat had passed the point,
and the, Yankee aroused himself from his
contemplation of the water and asked:
"Where are ye from?"
."New Xork." replied Gillette, with a
yachtsman's pride.
"How long?"
"Since August first,' shouted the yachts
man again.
The Yankee returned to his contempla
tion, and the yacht kept on drlf tlngt but
along In the afternoon there came a voice
over the water, and it asked:
"What year?"
NEW COOS BAY SCHOONER..
Another Vessel on the Lines of the
Sennett, Recently Lost In Alaska.
MARSHFIELD, Or Oct 4. Work has
commenced 'in the yard of the Pacific
Shipbuilding Company here in prepara
tion for the construction of a four-masted
schooner, a duplicate of the James Sen
nett, recently lost on the coast of Alaska.
The steamer Brunswick, which went
north about four, weeks ago with a crew
and wrecking outfit to get the Sennett
off, has just returned. The vessel was
found to be stranded on a beach of lava
and volcanic ashes. Shewas hogged and
otherwise hopelessly strained. She was
therefore stripped of her spars, rigging
and everything valuable that could be
taken off. This amounts in value to
something over J20.000, and it will all be
utilized on the duplicate vessel Just com
menced. Captain Hens Reed has also commenced
work in his Bay City yard on a four
masted barkentlne for C. A. Hooper &
Co., of San Francisco. The vessel will
be 193-foot keel and 41-foot beam. .
The settlement ot the San.JFrancisco
strike has loosened the energies which
have been somewhat'held in check by the
embarrassment of the shipping situation,
and mines and mills are all running full
blast In preparation for the fleet of ves
sels now released from the tie-up.

THE TYRANT INCOME."
An English Lady on the Secret of
Financial Happiness.
For several numbers past of the Cornhlll
Magazine Instruction has been given In
the art of living on Incomes ranging from
78 to 10,000 a year, and now the whole
matter Is summed up by the Hon. Mrs.
Anstruther under the title of "The Tyrant
Income."
"The truth Is this," she says. "The se
cret of financial happiness lies' In your
own personal attitude toward your In
come. If you treat It as a fr'end," on whose
generosity you may rely to help you In
time- of need, then will you be doomed to
disappointment, for 'few incomes have
great souls they are mean and shrinking
things, Incapable of heroic expansion! But
If, from- the very first instant that you
and it foregather, you treat it as your
natural enemy, then may your life be a
happy one. Conquer It, or it will assured
ly conquer you, and become your tyrant
Yet only In one way can It be humbled
and brought low, and happy Is the man
who discovers the way to do this early In
hia career. Keep It hidden, for publicity
is to It the breath of life, and once the
glare of publicity falls upon this unlove
ly Galatea, It will rise up and mercilessly
will It trample upon you and your most
precious possesion your; Independence.
Therefore hide It Never let your nearest
or your dearest suspect Its real height,
or breadth, or length, or power. Keep
It as secret as you would the knowledge
of some hideous crime; guard it from
the public gaze as you would the most
appalling skeleton that ever sat In fam
ily cupboard! Should searching questions
be put to you anent its size, do not hesi
tate to lie right royally In your responses.
Swear it is but a small, weak
thing, worthy of no consideration
incapable of sustained effort, and
thus by your cunning words force
it to eit cowering in the darkness
of private life, not daring to assert itself,
or to tyrannize over you in that horrid
fashion already partly hinted at by a
previous writer In these papers."

RECIPR0CI1Y WITH GUBAt
SOME OF THE THINGS' WHICH ARE
IN THE WAY OF A TREATY.
Agreement Will Hnrdly Be Consid
ered Serlousily Before Thee la a.
Duly Organized Government.'
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. It now seems to
be almost certain that no reciprocity
treaty with Cuba will -be seriously con
sidered until It is negotiated by a duly
organized government "of Cuba. The de
lay which the Cuban constitutional con
vention has made in 'the adoption oC a.
constitution and In accepting' .the Piatt
amendment, and now In organizing a gov
ernment, is the chief gbstacle In the way
of anything being done early m the com
ing session of Congress. It is possible
that before the first session of the 57thv
Congress adjourns a commercial
treaty may be negotiated between rep
resentatives ot an. actual Cuban .govem-
f ment and the United States. When such
a treaty is negotiated, there will then oc
cur one of the Interesting contests- In leg
islation In which It is more than prob
able that the Administration will be ar
rayed on one side and the majority oC
Congress on the other.
There never has been the slightest pos
sibility of any reciprocity treaties which
were negotiated under the Dlngley law be
ing adopted by a two-thirds vote ot tho
Senate. In fa,ct, the opposition was so
strong In the last Congress that theso
treaties could not even come to a, vote
of any decided character. When the 56th
t Congress expired last Match, these trea
ties were pending In the Senate on a mo
tion that they be referred to the finance
committee,, the object of this motion be
ing to kill the treaties. Some of them
had been reported from the committee on
foreign relations, which committee had
Jurisdiction when they were first sent to
tho Senate. Various Interests which
would be affected by a reduction of tho
duties on goods covered In these treaties
at once undertook to refer them to the
finance committee for the purpose of fur
ther postponing them, and, if possible,
killing them outright. '
While the present status Is absolutely
against reciprocity treaties with all other
countries, some consideration may be giv
en to the fact that Cuba stands In a
different relation to the United Suites than
Argentina, Jamaica. France and other
countries with whom the former reclproc-
lty treaties were negotiated. In the first
place Cuban annexation is looked for
ward to by a great many people of the
United States, and it is believed that closer
ties are necessary to encourage the feeling
among the Cubans that their ultimate
destiny Is In becoming a part of the Unit
ed States by annexation. There Is a sen
timental consideration In the desire of so
many people to assist Cuba out of tho
desperate straits Into which It fell under
the Spanish regime and during the long
period of insurrection and war. That
sentiment will have considerable effect in
bringing larger support to a Cubnn recip
rocity treaty than the other treaties have
had. Another feature of the case is that
General Wood, who stands very closo to
the new President, Is firmly committed,
to the reciprocity scheme.
The fight against any reciprocity with
Cuba will come from the beet sugar and
the cane sugar-growers and the tobacco
growers of the United States. A recip
rocity treaty with Cuba that did not In
clude tobacco would be a farce, and su
gar alone cannot be considered. But
when these two Important products of
Cuba are offered admission to the United
States at a reduced rate of duty It will
certainly follow'that the tobacco-growers
and beet and cane sugar-growers of the
United States will rise up solidly against
r the treaty and bring all the power to
bear that they can to defeat it
Already these interests are at work,
especially the beet-sugar interests. They
allege that 26 states interested in the pro
duction of beet and cane sugar and to
bacco can be depended upon to oppose
any reciprocity treaty with Cuba. If thla
estimate Is correct, it Is at once seen how
I Impossible It will be to secure a two-thirds
vote In the Senate in favor of ratifica
tion of a Cuban reciprocity treaty. On
the other hand. If an attempt is made by
joint resolution of both houses to adopt
a reciprocity agreement (not treaty) with
Cuba, 2S states would be able to defeat
It In the Senate, even If a majority In
the house should vote for It It Is thus
observed that the difficulties in the way
of adopting any reciprocity agreement
with Cuba are very considerable.
On the other hand, there is the desire
among the people for annexation, the de
sire for closer relations with Cuba, tha
desire for any benefit that may accrue to
the consumers of sugar and tobacco for
lower prices In case a treaty Is made. It
will be Interesting to note how these vari
ous conflicting interests will work out lis
Congress, especially If the President
should recommend in strong terms the
adoption of a Cuban reciprocity treaty.
