WORK OF ANARCHIST Attempts to Kill Chief Shlppy, ol Chicago Police. FIGHTS HARD TO THE VERY LAST Assailant Slain by Chlaf After Wound ing Four Peraona— Dead Man Had Plotted Long. Chicago,'March 3.— The would-be assassin of Chief of Polioe George M. Shippy was laat night identified aa Laz arus Averbuch, a Russian student of presumably anarchistic tendencies. Chief Sbippy, attacked in his home. No. 31 Lincoln place, at 9:30 a. m. yesterday by Averbuch, shot and killed the latter, but not until his assailant had stabbed him in the arm and shot and dangerously wounded Harry Ship- py, a eon of the police official, and had wounded James Foley, a member of the police department detailed as driver for his superior. The younger Shippy was said at a lute hour last night to have a good chance of recovery. Neither of the other men was dangerously hurt. Averbuch’s attempt, upon the chief’s life was the fourth effort he had made to accomplish his purpose. Twice on Sunday he visited the house, but was unsuccessful in finding his intended viotim at home. At 7 o’clock yesterday morning he made his third appearance, but was informed by a servant that the chief could aot be seen till 9 o’clock. When he returned at 9 o’clock the chief was on the point of leaving for his office. When admited at the front door Averbuch handed the chief an envelope bearing his name and address, but the latter, having heard of the previous visits to his home, suspected that something was wrong and Beized him by the arms. The envelope which was found later to be only a ruse to gain entrance, contained only a blank sheet ol paper. The quickness with which the chief acted upon his suspicion doubtless saved his life. Averbuch, though slight in build, proved in his desperation almost a match for the chief, who Is much larger, and the latter found himself unable to hold bis assailant and search him for weap ons at the same time. He therefore called to his wife, who was in the next room, asking her to ascertain whether the man had a weapon in his pooketa. Mrs. Shippy discovered a revolver in Xverbuch’s pocket, but before she could remove it he struggled loose from the grasp of the chief and, drawing a long knife, stabbed he chief in the arm. Thereupon the chief grappled again with his assailant, who drew a revolver. At that moment Harry Shippy, 19 years old, came rushing down the stair way to his father’s aid. Averbuch fired two shots, one of which struck young Shippy, who fell seriously wounded. Before Averbuch could fire again, James Foley, the chief’s driver, attracted by the shooting, ran to the door and Beized Averbach. The assassin struggled loose from the embrace and fired a shot, which pierced Foley’s hand. Thereupon both Mr. Foley and Mr. Shippy emptied their revolvers Into Averbuch’s body. One bullet entered the man’s breast near the heart and another passed through his head. The revolver dropped from his fingers and he died without a groan. FATE IN DOUBT. Seattle Fair Bill May Not Get By Its House Opponents. Washington, March 3.— The mem bers of the Washington congressional delegation are somewhat concerned over the manifest unfriendliness shown by the Republican leaders in the house toward the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific expo sition bill. W hile they feel reason ably certain that they will ultimately secure an appropriation for government buildings and exhibits, they realize that the opposition of the “ strong men” of the house is likely to make it difficult to get as much money as they really need, and they believe that a further reduction in their b ill will be injur ious. When the senate passed the Piles bill it went to the house, and Bhould have been referred to the committee on industrial arts and expositions, before whioh the Humphrey bill was pending. Instead it was referred to the commit tee on ways and means on the lame ex cuse that the bill contained a provision authorizing the admission, free of duty, o f exhibits from foreign nations. This committee is antagonistic to the bill. Gets Evidence On Rebating. Ban Francisco, March 3.— Raymond Benjamin, assistant attorney general of the state, returned yesterday from Loe Angeles, where he had been investigat ing the alleged rebating practices of the Santa Fe and Salt Lake railroads.

Bailey stated that he would speak on the bill Monday and Depew w ill speak on Friday. Aldrich announced that he hoped to have a vote on the measure next Wednesday. A canvass of the senate made to as certain the sentiment in regard to the bill indicates that there w ill be more Democratic senators for it than Repub lican senators against it. Since the speech by Smith, of Michigan, in op position to the railroad bond feature it has been stated persistently that there is a Republican defection that endai • gere the passage of the bill.

This partic ularly affects the British steamship companies, and officials of these lines a y that obstacles are placed in the way of their steamers going to Port Dalny. The opposition of Japan to the exten sion northward of the Hsin Min Tun railroad also is adversely criticized here, it being contended that her sole object in this regard is to eliminate any possi bility of opposition to her lines in Man churia. Great Britain is now negotiating at Tokio on the question of trademarks, and one newspaper says: “ It is difficult toconvince Japan that no satisfactory solution can be con structed upon the existing laws, which are at variance with the commercial morality of civilized nations.” It is considered essential in English circles here that Great Britain Bhould press new trademark laws upon Japan.

A resolution was passed au thorizing the immigration committee to investigate charges of peonage in cer tain states. Four hundred pension bills and a few other private bills were passed at the rate of 10 a minute, and the remainder of the time was con sumed in considering the postoffice ap propriation bill, which w ill be dis cussed for several days.

C., for a target range. Mann, Illinois, opposed the proosition and ridiculed the idea of paying $40 an acre for such property. After the provision had been further debated, it was stricken out on a point of order by Mann. The last paragaph of the bill also met an obstruction in Mann, who vigo rously attacked the proposition it in volved of giving the chief of ordnance discretion in purchasing ordnance sup plies without publicly divulging their ingredients, and the provision went out on a point of order. The bill then was passed, carrying a total appropriation of $84,767,666. ^ Friday, February 29. Washington, Feb. 28.— Long W in ters spent in Isolated sections of A l aska have so greatly increased the percentage of insanity that the sen ate today passed a bill authorizing large expenditures for the mainten ance of the Alaskan insane.

Consideration of the Indian appro priation bill and a speech by $moot, o f Utah, on the currency bill, con sumed nearly the entire time in the senate today. The Indian bill was passed. Washington, Feb. 28.— W ithout a dissenting voice the house early in the day, under a special rule restored to the army appropriation bill the provisions to increase the pay of non commissioned officers and men and to prohibit the private employment o f army musicians for pay, both of which yesterday went out on points o f order. The house took up an amendment offered by Foster, of Illinois, appro priating $1,500,000 for joint man euvers of the m ilitia organizations of the several Btates and the regular army. It provoked extended debate, Hull and Tawney leading in opposi tion. The amendment was altered so aa to limit the amount to $1,000,000 and as modified was agreed to, on division, 56 to 48, but on the vote being taken by tellers It was lost, 59 to 60. John and P r t a d lla o f O ld U o a i l M d . The Alden kindred of America, which comprise descendants of John and Pris cilla Mullins Alden of Duxbury, who are scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean, from Canada to the Qulf of Mexico, have at last obtained pos session o f the old Alden homestead here, says a Duxbury (Maas.) dispatch In the Philadelphia Record. The house baa nine rooms and a number of acres of land about I t It is near the railroad station. During the 254 yeara of exist ence of this property It has always been occupied, with one exception, by a per son named Alden. The old homestead, according to the story generally told to visitors In Dux bury, was not built by John the Pil grim. A site east of the present house Is pointed out ss baring been the place where John and Priscilla dwelt, and It Is commonly stated that the house built by John’s own hand was destroyed by fire, and the exact spot la pointed ouL John W.

The ell, which Is a story and a half high. Is undoubtedly older than the main bouse, which Is two and a half stories, and has all the marks which distinguished the old-time Plymouth houses. There are the small dlamond- paned windows ; there are the beams, running across the low celling and througbout the bouse; there are the old-fashioned latches on the doors, ths step-up or step-down between connect ing rooms, the large square chimney, and many other old-fashioned and quaint characteristics. The tiny "set-in” cupboards, In all the rooms, are things to make the mod ern dweller full of envy! the low ceil ings make even a short person reach to see If it Is possible to touch them. A tiny bedroom on the ground floor is shown to visitors aa the room In which Priscilla died, and It Is commonly be lieved that John, too, died in the pres ent bouse. The Alden story la that the house was built by Jonathan, the son of John and Priscilla. Thursday, February 27. Washington, Feb. 27.— One of the most dramatic scenes In the senate was enacted today when Owen, of Oklahoma, insisted, in tragis tones and with face showing much emo tion, that the five civilized tribes of Indians were dead and that he, as a member of the tribe of Cherokee In dians, was not under the control of the secretary o f the interior. The event was rendered all the more in teresting by the fact that Owen was sharply engaged In controversy by Curtis, o f Kansas, himself a Kaw In dian. It was the first time that two men with Indian blood in their veins had ever locked horns as senators In the senate chamber. The controversy arose in connection with the consid eration of the Indian bill and was precipitated by a motion on the part o f Owen to have the bill, so amended as to recognize the citizenship of five civilized tribes of Indians by putting the word “ late” before this designa- tlqn, calling them the “ late five civ ilized tribes.” A fter further debate, in which Owen, Curtis, Clapp, McCumber and Lodge participated, Owen’s proposi tion to designate the Indians as the "la te five civilized tribes” was voted down. Owen’s vote was the only one in its support. Lawbreakers are frequently de nounced, and rewards are offered for the apprehension of especially trouble some or dangerous offenders, in the newspapers of to-day; but it Is not the custom to mix denunciation with adver tisement after the fashion of our an cestors. With them, righteous wrath would not be deuled the comfort of epi thets, even in purely business com munication. No modern advertising column Is likely to contain an advertisement as vigorous In Its language as one pub lished In an old Newburyport Herald of just a century ago, threatening with “ public exposure”— no mention is made of prosecution— if he should repeat his raids, the “ Nefarious Scoundrel, void of either manners or breeding,” who had stolen apples from a certain or chard.

It is understood that the treaty iollows the lines of treaties negotiated recently between the American government and several European countries.

San Francisco, Feb. 29.— Wu T in g Fang, for the second time appointed Chinese minister to this country, ar rived yesterday on the Pacific mall liner Siberia, with a large retinue o f secretaries and legation and consu late attaches numbering 70 persons. He brought with him new consuls for Mexico, Havana, New York and San Francisco, besides three nephews and three secretaries and five other at taches for the Chlaese legation at Washington and 24 young students, who w ill enter various schools and colleges in this country. A t the Pacific mail dock, where the Siberia made fast, shortly before 1 o ’clock, a large number of Chi nese from the local colony were on hand with a brass band to greet their minister. From the dock the minis ter and his party were taken to the Falrmount hotel, where a large num ber o f suites had been reserved. Minister Wu denied the report that he was the bearer of an appeal to Washington .asking this country to assist in preserving the interests o f China in Manchuria and protest ing agaiust the alleged aggrandize ment of Japan in that Province, but admitted “ there was some local fric tion.” He professed to be Ignorant about ♦he Kan Tao boundary dispute be tween China and Japan and the ex tension o f the Hslnmlntln-Fukemeu railroad, which has caused friction between the tw o countries. Asked whether he would endeavor to secure some modification of the exclusion law, Minister Wu said that he had no particular instructions from his government with reference to that. WILL 8H O W TEETH. Japan 8*nd* Cruiser to Chin* to In vestigate Seizure. Toklo, Feb. 29.— The Japanese ar mored cruiser Idzumt sailed yester day from Shanghai for Hongkong, where. It Is understood, Bhe will in vestigate the seizure on February 7 by the Chinese customs cruisers o f the steamer Tatsu Maru. This movement is possibly Intend ed as a demonstration against the Chinese officials, although the fo r eign office denies It has such an ob ject In view; adding that negotia tions are proceeding at Pekin and that the Japanese flag has been re stored to the Tatsu Maru. The whole question of the seizure o f the Tatsu Maru, which carried a cargo of arms and other munitions, now turns upon the character of the merchant to whom the arms were consigned. It Is believed that he is a sympathizer of the revolutionists in China, for whom the arms were possibly intended. K ENTU C K Y ELEC TS SENATOR. Legislature Elect* Governor Bradley After Six Week*. Frankfort, Ky., Feb. 29.— Four democrats, who have stood out from the party machine, swung Into line with the republican members of the general assembly yesterday, result ing in the election of ex-Governor W illiam O. Bradley, a republican, to the United States senate. The elec tion followed a deadlock that has held up more than six weeks, the democratic organization supporting ex-Governor Beckham, while the re publican members have been as a unit for Mr. Bradley from the first. The four democrats who made pos sible an election have persistently re fused to vote for Mr. Beckham, and when they were convinced that their party would unite on no other man, they withdrew their support from g u tte rin g candidates and centered it on the republican choice. Union Men Refused Pardon. Washington, Feb. 29.— The Presi dent has denied pardons In the cases o f P. D. Lenihan, M. J. Plunkett, Josenh Shannon, W illiam Cutts and A. Edwards, members o f a labor union, convicted some moqths ago o f violating an Injunction Issued by a United States court judge enjoining them and others from Interfering with the operation and business of the Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone Company, at Butte, Mont.
