111111 iMENDMENTS.

.A Couple Affecting Wool Schedule Of-

fered In the Senate.

CUBA UP FOR DISCUSSION.

Mr. Morrill Opposesthe Recognition of
Belligerency Except by the Presb-
dent—The House Refuses to Re-
voke 8. Cleveland Order.

Washington, May 12.—Senator Mantle
of Montana introduced two amend-
ments to the wool schedule of the tariff
bill today. He explained that one of
these represented the views of the Na-
tional Woolgrowers’ association, while
the ,other had been agreed to by a num-
ber of senators on the Republican side.
The amendments were referred to the
finance committee. .

Mr. Gear (Rep. Ia.,) chairman of the
Pacific railroad committee, Said he
would not press his motion to proceed
with the Pacific railroad bill today, but
would urge it on Thursday.

The Morgan Cuban resolution was
taken up as soon as the routine busi-
ness was out of the way, and Mr. Mor-
rill (Rep., Vt.) spoke in opposition. The
senator said the purpose of all the Cu-
ban resolutions, including that of Mr.
Morgan, was to wrest the jurisdiction
hitherto held and exercised only by the.
executive branch of the government in
recognizing the belligerent rights or the
independence of nations, and thus to
exercise the power by congress in re-
gard to Cuba. Mr. Morrill declared
that congress had'no such power and
that its exercise would be contrary to
all precedents. It will hardly be claim-
ed, he said, that belligerent rights of
revolters should have recognition based
merely on sympathy, but they must be
based on justice and law.

The Matter of Responsibility.

Were we now to recognize the Cuban
revolters as belligerents the legitimate
government would at once be released
from responsibility for damages which
American citizens may suffer from any
future acts or misdeeds of the revolt-
ers. Revolters, he added, are not en-

.titled to recognition when the execu—

tive, legislative and judicial functions
are only documentary and migratory.
The fact that the present administra-
tion was retaining General Lee at
Havana was somé proof, the senator
said, 'that good work is being done
there now, and this, supplemented by
the inquiries of a competent special
commissioner would give the president
better information than that derived
from the sudden inspiration of any Cu-
ban annexationists in America. Let the
president have some opportunity to ex-
ercise'the functions and assume the
responsibilities of his great office, said
Mr. Morrill.

The senator reviewed the thirty odd
resolutions dealing with Cuba which
had been introduced. The senator from
the great peace loving state of Penn-
sylvania (Cameron) had reported a
resolution which,had Festus been pres—
ent, would have led him to exclaim in
loud voice: “Paul, thou art beside thy-
self. Much learning doth.make thee
mad." Other resolutions, the senator
said, did not mince matters, but pro-
posed to let slip the dogs of war at
once.

In the-”House.

The house continued the legislative

day of yesterday when it met today

" and took up the subject of forest reser-

vations again. Mr. Underwood (Dem.,
Ala.) spoke briefly and was followed by
Mr. Ellis (Rep., On), both of whom ad-
vocated the restoration of reservations
made by President Cleveland to the
people.

Mr. Castle (Pop., Cal.) proposed an
amendment by which any settler whose
lands might be included in a forest res-
ervation might apply for an appraisal
of his lands to the secretary of the in-
terior, the secretary to include the
amount of the appraisal in the esti-
mates for his department if the settler
accepted the appraisal within six
months.

Mr. Cannon (Rep., Ills.) deplored the
practice of including general legislation
in appropriation bills. He had no doubt
that President Cleveland’s action had
been somewhat ill advised, but opposed
the senate amendment, which would
put it out of the power of any president
in a generation to include any of the
20,000,000 acres in a. reservation.

Short speeches criticising President
Cleveland’s order were made by Messrs.
Knowles (Pop., S. D.), Lacey (Rep,
1a.), Brucker (Dem., Mich.), Devries
(Dem., Cal.) and Bailey (Dem., Tex.).

Mr. Hartman (Silver Rep., Mon.) de-
clared that by the reservation order
15,000 citizens of South Dakota had been
deprived of the right to maintain school
districts or municipal governments. He
wanted the order annulled absolutely.

Mr. Lacey remarked that Mr. Hart-
man assumed that President McKinley

would repeat the mistakes of President

Cleveland.

On the vote the house refused to re-

voke the order—100 to 39.

Claims Against Manager T. E. French.

New York, May 12.—Two judgments,
aggregating nearly $21,000, were enter-
ed against T. Henry French, manager
of the American theater. One of the
judgments is in favor of Al Hayman
and Charles Frohman, and is for $10,-
231.67. The other is for $10,357.50, in fa-
vor of Isabel Evesson. Mr. French says

lor the theater.

 

Indictment For Captain Reed.

handed in ten indictments to Judge

United States circuit court today.

fiable cause withheld food from the
crew of the scurvy stricken ship T. F.
Cakes.

 

THE ”BARONBSS” VON TURKHEIM.

Her San Francisco Friends Have Taken 5.
No Steps to Aid Her Yet. '

San Francisco, May 12.—The friends
of Jeannie Young, “Baroness von Turk-
heim,” in this city have not yet done
anything toward raising sufficient funds
for her to return to San Francisco, as
she requested in her cablegram to the
chief of police. Attorney Hutton and
one or two other people who are suffi-
ciently interested in her affairs to as-
sist her if the necessity ‘Lhould arise
say they are afraid that the cablegram
to Chief Lees was sent by Von Arnold
as a decoy in the hope of obtaining
money with which to continue his trav-
els. Mr. Hutton, therefore, will await
confirmation before he does anything
in the matter. Chief Lees cabled the
“baroness” to communicate with Mr.
Hutton.

On account of the reference in the
cablegram to the important papers in
the Fair case that are said to be in
Von Turkheim’s possession the chief
held a consultation with George A.
Knight, attorney for Charles L. Fair,
with the object of ascertaining whether
the woman might have had any in-
criminating documents. Mr. Knight
stated that in his opinion she had noth—
ing that would be of importance in the
Craven case or that could be introduced
in evidence.

LYNOHING IN PROSPECT.

Mobs Searching For the Murderers of Cap-
tain Strong and Pete Amsley.

Louisville, May 11.—Two picturesque
and desperate characters were killed
in Kentucky yesterday, and Judge
Lynch sits today in both cases, await-
ing the capture of the murderers. Cap-
tain William Strong, leader of the Red
Strings, a faction in Breathitt county,
was assassinated as he was riding to a
country church. The mule he rode was
riddled with bullets. The Red Strings
had been divided for some time, and
more than ten men on each side had
been killed within a few months, but
they met recently and agreed on a
truce. The murder will bring on men.“
trouble and start the war afresh.

Pete Amsley, the leader of the now
notorious Weder faction, which has
been ready to shoot any member of the
Bolen faction on sight for years, was
killed in Leslie county as he sat in his
cabin door, far up on the mountain
side. A big mob is out in search of his
assassin, and the whole factional trou—
ble will be started again.

Both murderers will be lynched, and
there is strong probability of the cap-
ture of both.

 

Alleged Steals In the Chicago Tunnel. ,

Chicago, May 11.—The Chicago Citi-
zens’ association charges that the con-
tractors digging the north side water
tunnel ’have mulcted the city for $69,-
120.80. The steal, it is charged, has been
made by the granting of claims for ex-
tras—extras which it is expressly stated
in the contracts should not be paid for,
by the payment for excavations of mud
as excavations of rock and by pay-
ments for material not used and labor
not employed.

Died of Excitement.

Chicago, May 11.—While boating on
Lake Michigan Matthew Roche and his
10-year-old nephew, Harry Flinn, at-
tempted to exchange seats. The boat
was overturned, and the boy was
drowned. Albert Mattarl, who was in
the crowd at the water’s edge, suddenly
pitched forward on his face dead. His
death is ascribed to excitement caused
by watching the struggles of the
drowning boy.

Connecticut Tax Problems.

New Haven, May 11.—Governor Cooke
is quoted as saying in an interview that
in case a state tax on towns becomes
necessary to strengthen the state treas-
ury the smaller farm towns should be
granted an exemption of from $100,000
to $200,000 on their grand lists. The
governor opposes bonding the state for
improved roads.

Farrow’s Trial Again Postponed.

Pittsburg, May 11.—The trial of Lieu-
tenant E. S. Farrow of New York and
C. Linford Woods of this city for con-
spiracy to defraud under the insurance
laws will not come up until Thursday,
court having adjourned until that day
on account of the death of presiding
Judge Thomas Ewing.

, The 'Vi’ily “Chineel”

Washington, May 12.—The secretary
of the treasury is informed of the ar-
rival of 257 Chinamen at San Francisco
to take part in the Nashville exposi-
tion. Of this number only 21 are need-
ed to comply with the terms of the
contracts entered into by the exposi-
tion company, and the remainder will
be returned to China.

 

. Cuban Jail Raided.

Havana, May 12.—A raid was made
on Casqua, in Havana province, and
the jail was broken open. Fifteen pris-
oners who had been kept there a long
while were liberated. There were sev-
en women and eight men. Among the
men were two insurgent officers who
had been sentenced to be shot.

 

A Typographical Question.

Kansas City, May 12.—A resolution
demanding the control of tenders of
typesetting machines was introduced
today in the convention of the Inter-
national Order of Machinists. The
adoption of this resolution would mean
war with the International Typograph-
ical union.

An Important Decision.

Albany, May 12.—The court of ap-
peals today decided that the property
situated on docks leased by the city of
New York is not taxable. e decision

New York's Puzzling Suicide Mystery
Fully Cleared Up.

MESSE. J. REISS THE VICTIM

Name Discovered Through a. Scrap of a
Telegraph Blank Found on Her Per--
son—Left Her Boarding House Sat-
urday to Go to St. Louis.

New York, May 12.—The Central park
suicide was identified this afternoon as
Mrs. E. J. Reiss of 42 Columbia heights,
Brooklyn. She had been boarding there
for the last six months.

The identity of the woman was re-
vealed by papers found on the corpse
and those at her former home on Co-
lumbia heights.

Mrs. Reiss claimed to have been se-
cretly married to C. M. BrOWn of New
York, and to a few of her friends she
was known as Mrs. Brown.

By most of her friends she was re-
garded as a widow with no relatives
and few friends save some in St. Louis
and Albany.

Mrs. Reiss was last seen alive on Sat—
urday. At that time she gave up her
room in the Columbia heights boarding
house and told the landlady, Mrs. Mea—
rin, that she was going to St. Louis and
might stop at Albany.

Her trunk was packed, and before she
left the house an expressman called and
took it away. Mrs. Mearin has no idea
of where it was sent or what express
company carted it.

After Mrs. Reiss left Mrs. Mearin’s
house it is believed she went directly
to Central park and ended her life in
the reservoir.

She had frequently spoken of suicide
and once told her landlady that she
was only prevented from-ending her
life by the knowledge that she was not
fit to die.

“But I’m tired of it all,” she added,
“and even if I am not good enough, I
am tempted sometimes to end it all. A
bullet would be quick and there are
other ways equally as sure.”

Mrs. Reiss had been in one of these
despondent moods just before she left
the boarding house.

At the time she said she was expect-
ing to hear from her husband, or “the
professor,” as she called him.

No message came from him, aners.
Reiss said she was sure he must have
left the city and did not want to see
her again.

Mrs. Mearin's Story.

“Mrs. Reiss came to my house about
six months ago,” said Mrs. Mearin.
“She said she was a widow and that
she was temporarily in financial diffi-
culties. On account of this she asked
for a cheap room.

The one clew which promised to be
of the most value was the bit of paper
in which a violet was wrapped and
which was found in the bosom of the
woman’s dress.

This paper was the upper left hand
corner of a sheet such as is used by
the Postal Telegraph company in re-
ceiving messages.

This small slip bore a. few printed
words, but the date of the message
which had been on the rest of the sheet
as well as the address of the person
sending and receiving it was gone.

In one corner, however, were the
company’s marks, which show it was
sent by operator “T. H.” and received
by “L.,” and that the message was
numbered 59.

An accurate record is kept of every
message, and it was believed that even
with these meager data the officials of
the telegraph company could trace this
one.

The manager of the New York oflice
sent out over the lines asking for a
copy of any telegram bearing the same
number and initials.

In spite of the general belief that the
telegram would lead to the discovery
of the identity of the dead woman, Cor-
oner Hoeber did not put so much confi-
dence in it.

He was more inclined to believe the
story told by a man .whose name he re-
fused to disclose.

This man told the coroner that about
a year ago a woman of a wealthy fam-
ily, well connected and refined, left this
city for St. Louis.

She was rather eccentric and fre-
quently told him that he need not be
surprised if she went on the stage or
committed suicide.

This man gave the coroner some sam-
ples of the woman’s handwriting, and
the coroner found many points of re—
semblance between this and the ‘writ—
ing 'on the notes of the dead woman.

To most persons, however, the writ-
ing see‘med dissimilar.

It turned out that the coroner was
wrong, for the Postal Telegraph com-
pany, by means of the slip of paper,
finally succeeded in discovering the
identity of “Titania” and the place of
her last residence.

-A Bill to Be Reported For the .1. Pier-

pont Morgan Syndicate.

Boston, May 11.—The two committees
of the legislature sitting together (on
metropolitan affairs and street rail-
ways), which have given weeks to
hearings on the several petitions for
incorporation to build an elevated road
for Boston and its suburbs, will report
a bill in favor of J. Pierpont Morgan
and his syndicate. This company ob-
tained control of the West End Street
Railway company a few months ago,
and the entire west end system will be
leased to the elevated road company
and all the local transportation of the
street railway’s sort will be under con-
trol of one corporation, except a small
part retained by the Boston and Lynn
company on the north. The new ele-
vated company will lease the subway
and thus get a through line north and
south from Dorchester to Charlestown
and west to; Cambridge without going
on the mai’n’ streets. in the congested
section. A branch will run to the south
Union station, the foundations of which
are now being prepared, thence it will
follow the water front of the city, along
Atlantic avenue, around to the north
Union station. The bill will permit bag-
gage cars to be run on this section, and
so baggage can be transferred from
one side of the city to the other with
much less delay than now. The fare
will be 5 cents, no matter how great the
distance ‘traveled.

A very important consideration has
not been settled by the committee. The
petitioners want their privileges guar-

‘anteed for 30 years, without any inter—

ference on the part of the state or city.
Strong objection is raised to this as
tying the hands of the public for an
unreasonably long time. The privileges
in the bill are to be guarded so that
there will be a heavy forfeiture in case
the road is not in operation within a
reasonable time.

There is in the committee a friendly
feeling for the Boynton bicycle rail-
road invention, and it is possible that a
charter will be granted to build a line
between Boston and Fall River. The
committee is satisfied with the mechan-
ical merit of the invention, but the
question is whether Mr. Boynton will
consent to give other persons a share
in the management of the enterprise.

I Forger Stout Gets Three Years.

_ New York, May 11.—Thomas H. Stout,
the forger who eluded the police for
five years by living in London after he
had signed the names of his employers
to checks for $16,000, which he obtained
in 1891, and who delivered himself up
on Friday, was sentenced today to
three years in Sing Sing. Stout had
been employed by Jones, Kennett &
Hopkins, Wall street brokers. He col-
lected on the forged checks at the Hol-
land Trust company.

Politics In a Chapel.

New Haven, May 11.—Several mem-
bers of the Center Congregational
church have signed a protest against
the use of the'church chapel for the
meetings of the Good Government club,
regarding such meetings as political
gatherings. The Rev. Dr. Smyth, pas-
tor of the church, has a study in the
chapel building, and it is supposed that
the meetings are held there, the clergy-
man being a leading member of the
club.

Took Poison After a Quarrel.

New York, May 11.—Mrs. Mary Nor-
ton killed herself by taking carbolic
acid. She had been married two years.
Quarrels were frequent between the
pair. Norton left home at 5 o’clock
yesterday afternoon and returned early
today. His late arrival caused another
quarrel between himself and his wife,
after which Mrs. Norton went to a
back room and took carbolic acid. She
died in the ambulance.

Charity’s Loss Made Good.

Paris, May 11.—An anonymous gift
of £37,497 has been received by the
managers of the charity bazaar which
was destroyed by fire last Tuesday,
making the total proceeds equal to the
receipts of the bazaar of 1896. The
Matin asserts that the moneywas given
by Baroness Hirsch in commemora—
tion of the anniversary of her hus-
band’s death.

Organist-Composer Best Dead.

London, May 11.—VVilliam T. Best,
the organist and composer, is dead. He
was born at Carlisle in 1826 and became
organist of the Panopticon, Leicester
square, London, in 1853, organist of St.
George's hall, Liverpool, in 1855, and or~
ganist of the Royal Albert hall, Ken-
sington, in 1871. He retired from the
organistship of St. George’s halti, Liver-
pool, in 1894.

Mr. Cleveland to Fish In Canada.

Cleveland will arrive in Ottawa early
next month to fish in Thirty-one Mile
lake, up the Gatineau, where the Gati4
neau Fish and Game club owns one of
the finest .fishing resorts on the conti-
nent. It was at this lake that ex-Sec-
retary of War Lamont spent two weeks
last year as a guest of the club.

Corrupt Practices Law Weak.

New Haven, May 11. —The Connecti-
cut corrupt practices act has again
broken down in a test case at Stam-
ford, where the city court has refused
to convict accuse! candidates for not
making returns. The court held that
positive evidence was needed to show
that the candidates had election ex-
penses.

Phillips to Be Extradited.

Washington, May 11.—The United
States supreme court today affirmed

Latest Observations.

We will always find' good when we
look er it with a good heart.

Self-righteousness never has any
mercyon itself or anybody else.

Poverty wants some, luxury many,
avarice all things.

It is charity only that maketh riches
‘worth the owning.
‘ Some people look happiest when they
have bad news to tell.

We have done too little when we have

mot done our prayerful best.
