At First the Prisoner Was Silent, but Afterward Confessed. HE STILL ssrcsss TO TALK." Many Persons In New York Do Not Be- lieve That the Man Arrested In Chi- cago Is the Dishonest Bank Clerk. Win Send to'menury Him. \. CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-—The prisoner sup- posed to be Samuel C. Seely, who helped rob the New York Shoe and Leather bank of $354,000, was as uncommunicative to- day as when taken into custody last night. All night he had sat _ erect and "defiant in the private office of Inspector Shea, and, morning found him nota whit less defiant. Through the night detectives and officers had taken turns at rigid examinations, but all were unsuccessful, the prisoner in- sisting that his name is Frank J. Dale. Early today, after finding their question- ing useless, the officers tried another tack, and, with a seeming doubt as to his iden- tity, offered the suspect any luxuries he might wish and urged him to send for his . friends. But their plan did not succeed. ”I have no friends here, ” said the pris— oner. “I want no assistance. I shall stay here until you discover your mistake and let me go. My name is Dale. I never heard of Seely, except through the papers. And now I won’t talk any more.” And he did not. ‘ Reporters came in‘ droves and vainly sought interviews, newspaper artists flock- ed into the little office and made all sorts of sketches, and now and then a detective tried his hand at cross examination, but through it all the suspect sat unmoved, oc- casionally yawning, as though excessively ' bored. The police were confident today that the 'man is Seely, and so wired to New York, but they confessed themselves puzzled at the man’s cool indifference. Of— ficers were sent out among the banks to search for people who might have known Seely, and Inspector Shea was confident that he would have the man positively identified before night. . Declares It 'Is Seely. Lieutenant Haas'of. thedetcctive depart- ment declared that'therewas not the faint- est doubt that Seely. has been captured. “I have carefully compared the photo—. graphs and descriptions with the man,” he said, “and the resemblance is perfect. The long mustache has been clipped to a stub, but its characteristic droop remains. It is black instead of blond, but I found evidences of dye on the upper lip. Seely wore his hair pompadour, and the pris— oner’s lies flat, but this man’s hair was heavily oiled and carefully pasted down, "and when I rumpled it with my hand it quickly assumed the old pompadour posi- tion. The color and peculiarities of this man’s eyes correspond with Seely’s de- scription. Butperhaps the most convinc-' ing proof of his identity is a slight malfor- mation of the edge of the right ear and a small growth or bump on thedobe of the same car. I have offered to send to any part of the country for any one who could identity him as Dale, but the prisoner de- clares he has no friends and says he knows of no one sufficiently acquainted with him to identify him. That alone is convincing proof that we have the right man. We ex- pect New York ofiicers here tomorrow.” Bank Officials Pleased. There was rejoicing at the Shoe and Leather bank when the officers learned that there was a probability of Dale being their missing bookkeeper. Director Pcasc declared that the description of the arrest- ed man corresponded with that of Seely. President Crane at 11 o’clock said that he had no means of knowing as yet whether or no the arrested man is Seely. They will at once send a man west to identify the prisoner. N either the district attorney’s office nor the United States district attor- ney’s office had received any word. They had telegraphed for information.

It will have to be decided as to whether they will bring him here under United States law or have him extradited and brought on and prosecuted under state law. Seely-is under sixindictments found > by the grand jury of this county. A No indictment has yet been found against him by the United States grand jury, . but a warrant for his arrest was is- sued-by Commissioner Shields on the day he fled. » , : I . A dispatchfrom Chicago stated that it was not altogether certain that Frank J. Dale, who was arrested at Mrs. Clayton’s boarding house, 496 La Salle avenue, is Seely. ’ ' McCarty Is Skeptical. United States Marshal McCarty said to- day: ”I very much doubt if this man Dale is Seely. It seems improbable that a. man of Seely’s caliber would have confided his name and story to a perfect stranger like that special officer, McFarland. ; We have received no word from Chicago on the matter as yet. ” , , ' Lawyer Frank Angel was seen at his office. He shook hishead. when asked if he believed, that the man now under arrest was his client. f‘Of course, ” he said, ‘_‘I can’t say-posi- tively, whether, or not it is the man. I doubt, it, though. I have not heard from Seely for weeks and, really do not know where he is, but I do not think he would have been fool enough to have-discovered himself to a stranger like McFarland. The story that I have his money is untrue.” Declares He Is Seely. _ Later.—During the evening the prisoner told his guard that he wished to see the, men in charge of the detectiveforce-» In- spector Shea and Lieutenant Haas prompt- ly responded, entering the inspectorfs pri- vate office, where the suspect had been con- fined. . .- , -“Be seated, gentlemen, ” Seely said as the officers appeared, and somewhat dazed at his coolness they sat down. ”Now, gentlemen, ” Seely continued, ‘ ‘ I first wish to thank you for your courtesy and kind- ne‘Ss since our meeting last night. I have told you repeatedly that my name isDale, but I have become tired of deception. I had no sleep last night. I am weary. My name is Seely—Samuel C. Seely, late book— keeper of the National Shoe and Leather bank of New York. That is what I wished to say to you.” - “Do you care to say anything about your case?” asked the inspector. . “Not a thing. I am ready and Willing to go to New York. .1 will not make any trouble about extradition. Sorsoon as the proper New York officials arrive I will go with them.” . ~ The officers attempted to' secure some his connection with the great steal, but he carefully avoided making any admissions or denials. ' mous consent for the consideration of a resolution calling on the secretary of the treasury for information, first, as to whether the articles of the Bering sea tri- bunal had resulted last season in saving the fur seal herds from the destruction they were intended to prevent; second, infor- mation as to the number and sex of seals killed by pelagic sealers; third, the present condition of the fur seal herds on the Pribilof islands, and, fourth, the revenue derived by the government from the seals during the past and the expenditure Of the government for their protection during the same period. Mr. Dingley had read a letter from Henry W. Elliott, the seal expert of Cleve- land, asserting that 50, 000 seals, worth $500, 000, had been taken last year by Ca- nadian pelagic sealers; that the Bering sea articles had proved a flat failure, and that unless something is done to further protect the Alaskan herd it would be entirely ex- tinguished in five years. and that $300,000 of expense incurred annually by the Unit- ed States benefited Canadian sealers alone. The resolution was adopted. ANOTHER TRAIN ROBBERY. Rock Island Passengers Held Up In the Indian Territory. TERRELL, I. T., Dec. 12.—-The north bound Rock Island passenger train was held up and robbed by three masked high- waymcn about one mile south of this sta- tion and just on the banks of the Red riv- er. Two of the outlaws climbed over the tender into the engine cab and compelled the engineer to stop the train. They com- pelled the engineer and fireman to accom- pany them to the express car and called to the messenger to open the door, which was done, but no money was secured. They then entered the passenger cars and robbed the passengers of money and valu- ables. At present the report is that about $600 and several watches were secured. The passengers were awakened and com- pelled to hand over their valuables. Several shots were fired into the train, and two shots were fired at Conductor Cannon through the door ‘of one of the cars. The Pullman conductor, Brown, was struck by a bullet, which lodged in his coat. He was not injured. There were three of the robbers, who were masked, and after accomplishing their work they left, going in a westerly direction. They were shabbily dressed. . Juror Goes Insane. TRENTON, Dec. 12.—George W. Johnson, a juror in the Mercer court, became tem- porarily insane while in the courtroom, and rising in his place announced that he had been directed by God to announce that a conspiracy had‘been entered into between the attorneys in the case to convict Charles Bailey, then on trial for the seduction of the lattcr’s 14-year-old daughter.

Norwalk 001113.. HOHENLllill’E SPEECH. New German Chancellor’s First Ad- dress to the Reichslag. THE GIST OF HIS REMARKS. Portions of the Paper \Vere Cheered by the Various, Factions—Press Com- ments on the Attempt to Punish the Noncheering Members. BERLIN, Dec. 12.——Prince Hohenlohe ap- peared in the reichstag today a few min- utes-before the sitting opened. There was no demonstration. The chancellor chatted with Herr Beckh and other south German delegates while waiting for the session to open, and when the sitting began he arose and read in a low, halting voice, which was almost inaudible, his speech outlining the programme of the government. This caused the deputies to raise cries of “ Louder!" The applause and braves were confined to the members of the Right, ex- cept during a passage in, the speech in which the chancellor insisted on the neces- sity of co-operation between the state and religion, when the members of the Center party joined in the cheering. The agra- rians applauded the references to state aid - to husbandry. Many members of the reichs- tag were absent, notably the socialist mem- bers. The acoustic properties of the new hall are wretched, and unless perfect silence prevails the voice of no speaker is audible. Proposed Socialist Prosecution. Prince Hohenlohe’s letter relating to the request of the public prosecutor that the reichstag authorize the prosecution of the socialist members who remained seated and refused to cheer for the emperor on Thursday last was referred tothe standing orders committee, with instructions to deal with it without delay. Prince Hohenlohc, during the course of his speech, said that his entry into ofiice did not imply a change in the system of governmem To would not, however, in every case folio“ m the footsteps of his predecessor, but he would mukon with the actual facts and loyally fulfill his duties. He dwelt upon the necessity of financial reform, the maintenance of the colonial policy, the necessity of strengthening the navy and promised that the just demands of the agrarians would be satisfied. In social questions, he said, the protection of the weak would be made the first consid- eration of the 'govcrmncnt, which would also endeavor to maintain peace between the state and the church. At theeouclusion of the speech Count Tosadcwski opened the budget discussion. “Leze Majesty" Discussed. The request- that the reichstag sanction the criminal prosecution of the socialist deputies has aroused a storm of discussion in the press. . The National Zcitung, commenting on the request. says. “If the reichstag were to authorize the prosecutions, further ac- tion would depend upon the decision of the judicial authorities on the doubtful ques- tion as to what constitutes leze majesty.” The Boerscn Courier remarks: “There is no doubt that the reichstag will em- phatically reject the request. If the gov- ernment intends to dissolve parliament, let it be done before unpleasant debates arise.” The Vossichc Zeitung thinks the harm that will be done will outweigh the ad- vantage which would be derived from prosecuting the socialists. The Tagcblatt says, “The socialists stand in great need of a weapon with which to stir up the masses, and the 'gov« ernment is going the best way to supply the same. ” . , The Kreuz Zeitung says, “Even if the reichstag refuses to grant the request of the public prosecutor, proceedings can be taken after the session, as the offense was not covered by parliamentary privilege. ”- A. Socialistic View. The Vorwaerts, organ of the socialists, says: "Article 27 of the constitution re- serves to the reéchstag alone the right of regulating its discipline. The public prose- cutor is not entitled to interfere with what the deputies do within the precincts of the house. In-the interest of its authority, the reichstag must take up a decided position against the application of the public prose- cutor. ” The Vorwacrts describes the proposal as an attack upon parliamentary privileges and asserts that the reichstag must pre? vent the possibility of its repetition. It then cites cases in Which similar demands 3. for proceedings against Herr Liebknecht were made and Which the reichstag re- jected in 1880. " The semiofiicial North German Gazette, contends that a member of the rcichstag cannot commit an act of leze majestyr'in the discharge of his functions. The social- ists or other members who commit crimes that are indictable under the common law may be punished by the loss of their seats. The paper says that Chancellor von Hohen- lohe’s request for the rcichstag’s sanction to prosecute the offending members ap- pears to admit their immunity. It is doubtful if either the members of the Frei'sinnige party or the Centristsj. will The government has evidently resolved upon a. conflict to the death with the socialists. There is good ground, hOWever, to predict that the re- sults will be as little satisfactory as was the Kulturkampf. .‘ Gardiner Must Be. Tried Again. ALBANY, Dec. 12.—In the case of Charles W. Gardiner, the Parkhurst agent charg~ ed with blackmail, the ptople get a new trial.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 12.—Whilc work- men were engaged in digging a canal to Lake Ponchartrain they struck a cypress stump at a depth of nine feet in which was imbedded a cannon ball about the size of a man’s fist. Save for rust, it was as well preserved as the day it, was fired from Pakenham’s cannon at the battle of New Orleans in 1812. There is no doubt of its authenticity. An'Ovatign to Dr. \Vekerle.
