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. 1 Presidential Appointments. . Washington, May 12.—The president today sent the following nominations to the senate: Consuls of the United States—Albion W. Tourgee of New York, at Bordeaux, France; Sidney B. Everett of-,Massa- chusetts, at Batavia, Java. Interiors—Henry P. Cheatham of North Carolina, recorder of deeds, District of Columbia. Postmaster -— Miss Mary Redfield Newlands, at West Point, N. Y. 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 the judgments will not affect his plans lor the theater. Indictment For Captain Reed. New York, May 12.—The grand jury handed in ten indictments to Judge Benedict in the criminal branch of the United States circuit court today. Among them Was one against Captain Edward W. Reed, charging him with having maidciously and without justi- 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 is the result of litigation on the part of the International Navigation company versus the New York tax commission- ers. - Assistant Secretary Day Sworn In.

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. Looking Up Mexican Investments. City of Mexico, May 12.—The steam yacht Rhouma, from England, is ex- pected daily to arrive at Vera Cruz with a large party of‘ English capital- ists who are coming to investigate the chances for business investments.

Washington, May 12.—William Hal- lett Phillips, who was drowned from a yacht near Mount Vernon, was en- gaged in a work regarded by the state department officials as of great impor— tance in the revision of the interna- tional law digest compiled by the late Dr. Wharton.

Albany, May 12.—The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company filed’its report for the quarter ending March 31 with the railroad com- mission today, showing a. net income for the quarter of $411,083, as compared with a net income of $743,907 for the same quarter last year.

ROADS ron 1309:1011. 4. -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.

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.

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.
