Orchard Know Too Many Socrols ai" Innor Circle. Uolso, Idaho, March 0. Asssnsslnst ing those whoso hands woro against tho Western Federation of Miners, and those who refused to Join tho nssocla lion, nro not the only crimes for which tho members of tho Inner Circle will Imj called upon to nnswor. Not only woro non-union miners murdered outright, lKJinbs plnccd for stnto officials, but tho poor tools who committed the revolting crimes for the Innor Olrclo woro them selves victim of this committee of death. Harry Orchard was among the tools of tho Inner Circle marked for de struction. Had lie managed to have escaped nrrest after having assassinated ex-Governor Hteunenberg, he would not hnve lived long to enjoy the f 3,800 ho was to have received for doing the Job. Tho confeeslon of Htevo Adams, it Is said, shows thnt the members of the Inner Clicle were suspicious of Or chard and thnt ho had been shadowed (or n long time lWoro he wont to Cald well for tho purpose of placing the bomb which killed ox-Oovernor Hteu nenberg. Hentence had been passed upon him, and It Is said thnt whether he succeeded, ns lie did, or failed, ho would have been added to tho list of tools that have been put out of tho wny. Crimes within crimes wns tho system which tho Inner Clrclo cnrrled out. Wfien dupes of tho Inner Circle had performed so many deeds for the Inner Clrclo that thoy know too much tlisy were quietly gotten oat of tho way, and it Is believed that the confessions of Orchard nnd Adams will prove this. Tho news that Adams had added hi confession to that of Orchard has been conveyed to Moyer, Haywood, Petti bone nnd Ht. John. They were told by their attorneys, but It is Impossible to learn now the prisoner took tho news. It was learned, however, that all four of the prisoners, since they heard of Adams' confession, have displayed considerable concern, and for the first time since their nrrest hnve lost much of their assurance. Of all the men under arrest, It is hinted that Pettlbone Is the worst. He, so the story goes, was the chief con spirator, tho man who planned the assassinations and paid out the money. Certain testimony given Wore the rand Jury went to show that Haywood, who received 6 n day as secretary, had for some tlmo prior to his arrest been spending monoy around Denver nt the rat of 125 a day. This money is be lievfd to have been n part of the assassination fund. VISIT TO THE KAISER. President Roosevelt Could Qo tolKlel on American Warship. Ilerlln, March 0.

Her Journey to Hast Asia had otllcial character, which was expressed by her accompanying n member of tho cabinet. "President Itoosevelt himself is not permitted to leave American territory, but ns nn American warship is Ameri can territory, and as President Itoose velt has already proved in practice, why cunnot the president give nnothor example by visiting Kiel? Kmperor William could then choose n return visit In tho same form, going on a war ship to waters near Washington. Tbee visits would add much to tbo mutual friendship of the two countries."
