A Wife Hires An Assassin Murder Her Husband. to HE FLATS UKK FALSE, FaHi to Da tfae Deed knt Calls for Bis Promised Beward-The Police Takei Him In and H Confesses. Spokane Falls, April 17. A startling disclosure was made to day that the wife of F. A. I'ettia, a pti'ii'inent citizen, and ex-city otlicial, had been plotting the bringing about of his murder. For a lun; time Rettis and his wife have been separated and Mra. Rettis recently began divorce pro coedingf, but aflerwaid withdrew them. A bitter ti'lit has been waging over community property, as Rettis is a wealthv man. Not long ago the police ollicers learned that Mis. IJetlis was in connilta' lion wilh a suspected crook from i he l'.Mt. Ihey contrived to secrete themselves in the presence of the conspirators and learn their plans. 1 he man agreed to mur der .Mr. Rettis and was to be paid $oUU0. two hundred and lif.y dollars cash, $700 in ten days and the remainder to he sent to him on the Isthmus of l'anama. The agreement between the parties was that the man who was hired to do the deed was to come to the woman's home, bringing the victim's diamonds and tie to show that the work had been dune, and the signal was to be when he went to her house to give three raps ou the door, at which she would auk. Who s there?" He was to an swer, "ii;j.' Last night was the tune appointed to commit the deed, but the would-be assassin played her false. I le nevertheless called at her home and gave the required einnal, at which the woman became so nervous that she could not light a lamp, and told him to go away and she would see him to-mor-rnw, and he should have $ 1000. The ollicers knowing of the plot were on the Fcene and the nun was arrested and has made a full confession of the whole atl'air. The reporter called upon Mr. Rettis to-day in company with OtlicerYolk. "At first," said he, "'I could not believe what the olli cers and others told about the plot of that woman against my life, but I now have undisputable evi dence to that etlect and 1 am fully convinced of the fact, but 1 wish you would eay that I shall not, under any circuniRtanees, enter prosecution against her for it is a matter tliat I wish settled, if pos sible, quietly." Mrs. Rettis was pluced under arrest, and is now under guard at her home. It is suspected by many that Mr. Rettis lain a trap to cateli his wife and that he succeeded. INDIAN TKOUUI.KS. Another Outbreak Looked Tor lu the Near Future. Washington, April 17. Captain I'enny, of lhe United States army, acting Indian agent at Tine Ridge, has written under date of the 7lh a long letter to the commissioner of Indian allairs relative to the situation at Fine Ridge. He says the Indians look up'in the recent legislation by congress as another promise, but their confidence is somewhat Htrelit'theiied by the performance of the anieement as to rations. Ho urges, however, that the recent legislation be car ried into etlect with all proper speed. He says tin re is danger apprehended o't future trouble and ha-ies his conclusion upon the fant that the people are in a state of unrest. They will not begin farm ing, their houses and property have been plundered, ami there is feeling of discouragement and the conviction that it is hardly worth w hile to try again, as there may be another war.

Washington, April 17. Advices received at tiie state ueparimeni indicate that the new treat v witl Spain has been concluded. It conies within the provision of the reciprocity clause of the McKin lev ill, and ex-Minister John W Fos'ter, who negotiated the terms of the treaty, will boon be back in Washington with tUe full text. Mr. Rlaine gave Secretary F'onter full instructions before he depart ed that he should make no cou cessions for our government be vond thope in the McKinley bill and that he t'hould make clear to the Spanish cabinet the distinc ion between tne powers ol Hie president over the duties on sugar, hides, tea and coll'ee, and powers ov r tne tarni on oilier arncits not named in the reciprocity sec tion. He was directed especially to make it plain that our govern ment would not surrender the luties on tobacco as desired by the nauiarda. Mr. Foster followed his instructions so well and with so thorough a knowledge of "the Spanish language ana cuar acter that the Spanish govern' ment promptly gave way. Thev desired at hrst to open Cuban markets to a few artie'es of no great commercial importance in return tor tlieopeniHi oi our man ets to fiee sugar. Tney proposed that a separate treaty should ttien be made, in which they should admit American Hour to Cuba at reduced duties in return for the admission of Cuban tobacco to this country. Mr. Foster made it clear that such an arrangement could not be made and that if Spain did not yield a reasonable return lor free sugar, the duty on su;ar would be reimposed on Jan uarv 1. 18!2. Mr. Foster had the advantatfft over the Spanish gov eminent of ollering them the al ternative ol accepting his terms or inviting msurrectiun in i uoa, which was lively to end in the loss of the island anJ its annexation to the United Statea. That Mr Rlaine was ready for this alterna tive has several times been pointed out .n these disparches. Spain is compelled to surrender a large share of her customs revenue in Cuba by the new treaty, but she naturally pi eferred that to losing the island altogether, lhe con cessions she has lust made can never be recalled without endang ering her sway in Cuba, and the same concessions will bring Cuba in closer sympathy with this country.

FREE COINAGE Tariff for Revenue Only dental Protection. -Inci RESOLUTIONS WERE ADOPTED That Is What the Oommerolal Congress Asks For-They Wer Very En thusiastic. Kansas City, April 17. At the commercial congress to-day the re ports of the committee on resolu tions were presented. The major ity ot the reports tavor the adopt ion bx the congress of a law auth orizing the free aad unlimited coinage of silver and the issuance of a sullicieiit amount of legal tender notes, to be redeemable both in geld and silver, to restore equilibruin between money and other products; favors tariff for revenue only; declares that the interstate commerce of the country should be conl rolled by the general government; favors improvement of water ways by the government; equalization of taxation, a bank rupt law; suppression of trusts and combines ; amendment to the immigration laws; restoration of railway land grants to the public domain and opening the mrplus land to settlement ; reclamation of arid lands ; the enactment of laws to prevent dealing in future and commends the secretary of agri culture for his elTorts towards re moving the restriction of loreign meat trade.

The free coinage and tariff reso lutions of both reports were re ceived with applause, as was also that relative to the immigration law.

The minority meiub'-rs of the committee charged the congrees with being nothing but a demo cratic convention. The charges caused a great tumult. Finally I the representatives of the business union ot hi. la ill withdrew lrom the convention. The minority re port was then voted down. The consideration of the majority re' port was proceeded with and tlnv debate again became intensely partisan and heated. Finally vote was taken by call of states, on the adoption of the majority report, and it was adopted, Lb to )), all of the state delegations being divided upon the question. the resolutions as a whole were then adopted.

Then a great disturbance arose, the air being rent with hisees and groans, mingled with cheers and applause. Sraalleys opponents at tempted to howl him down, but he stood his ground until he had finished his eay. A resolution by Rryan of .Nebraska, was adopted urging congress to pass a law mak ing all legal money legal tender, notwithstanding any contracts which may call for the discharge of the obligations by payment of gold. Other resolutions were adopted indorsing the world's fair, enc'ursing the Torrey bankruptcy bill, and making tbe congress a permanent organization to meet bi-annually. Congress then 8d journed.

Paralleling the Union l'aclflc-Ei- tenslou of the Northwestern Lines, Chicago, April 17. A story is told here to-day which throws i new light u'.on the trip of Come litis Yanderbilt and party to the far West. It Is said the move ments of vanderbilt are for the purpose of heading off Gould. It has been asserted that the ten- vear traflic contract with the Northwestern has been ignored bv the Union Pacific since (iould ob tained control, though the busi ness is being largely diverted to the Missouri l'acilic. W hen it was found that (iould bad no intention of attending the meeting of the advisory board of the Western Traflic Association this week, Yan derbilt, Depew, Rossiter and Twombley immediately started West on a special train. It is said their object was to reach Denver in advance of Gould and be the first in the field in making pre liminary arrangements for earn ing out their plans. These plans it is a'.leged involve the ultimate extension of the Northwestern svstem to 0den. W hen this is done the Northern Pacific will parallel the Union Pacific in its enth-e Jength, and will possess the immense advantage in having a Chicago terminus. It is said this step had been contemplated for a long time by the Vanderbilt inter ests, but the scheme was aban doned when the traffic contract between the Northwestern and Union Pacific was perfected. TERRIBLE MISTAKE. Be Take His Fiance's Father for Bill Collector. A young gentleman had an en gagement with the daughter of a prosperous citizen to attend the theatre. The young lady sug gested that they use the family carriage, and the gallant was too polite to decline.
