SENATOR HALE’S PROTEb T

The Case of the Confederacy Cited—Cub.

ishment For Mutineers—Routine
Work of the House.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-—The prospec
that the Cuban question would reach it.
final legislative stage drew large crowd
to the senate galleries today. By 12' o’clocl
all Of the public galleries were taxed t1
their full capacity, and the attendance in
the reserved galleries indicated that every
available seat would be occupied by th.
time the early routine was cleared away
Mr. Sherman, chairman of the committe-
on foreign relations, w as early at his desk

' He had given notice that he would mov

the adoption of the conference report agree
ing to the house Cuban resolutions. anc
while this is usua ’ly a formal proceeding
it was expected in this case to renew th.
animated Cuban debate'and in any even‘
to close the Cuban question so far as con
grass is concerned.

A bill was passed fixing stringent penal-
ties for mutiny and other olfenses or
American vessels on the high seas whethe1
participated in by passengers or the crew

Before the main branch of the Cuba):
question came up Mr. Hoar (Rep. ., Mass.
offered two 1esolutions bearing on the sub
ject. One, which went over under thc
rules, postponed further consideration 0

’the Cuban resolutions until April 6, ant

directed the committee on foreign relation.
in the meantime to secure and report al‘
available facts. . Mr. Hoar did not press
this to consideration, and it went over
The other resolution from Mr. Hoar, whicl
was agreed to, calls on the president f0)
all available information as to the state 0.'
affairs in Cuba, particularly so far as the)
concern the interests of the United States

At 1: 15 Mr. Sherman moved the adop
tion of the conference report accepting th1
house Cuban resolutions. By this time thc
public galleries were packed In the dip
lomatic gallery sat Mr. Hoe and Mr
Chung of the Chinese legation, Baron V01
Gettlar of the German embassy, Ministe1
Mendcnca Of Brazil and other members 0.
the diplomatic corps.

Hale’s Opposition.

Mr. Hale (Rep., Me. ) spoke energetical
ly against the resolution. He said he dic
not think the senate possessed the infor
mation justifying the resolution recog
He did not think
the inflammatory statements made by sen-
ators in justifying the resolution were
backed up by facts. 'In 1870 this same
condition of affairs existed, and an effort
was made to involve the United States in
the controversy. At that time the houSe
committee on foreign affairs, presided over
by General Banks, reported a resolutior
similar to this one, but fortunately 1301
the cause of peace and progress there was
then, said Mr. Hale, a. man in the presi.
dent’s chair whose love of liberty and pa
triotism was certainly equal to that of any
of the members of the committee on for.
eign relations, a man who knew the real
meaning of war, General Grant. The mes-
sage General Grant sent to congress was
as pertinent today as it was at that time,
and it was an unanSWOrable plea against
the present resolution.

Mr. Gray interrupted to ask what result
had come from General Grant’s message.

It had, continued Mr. Hale, brought the
congressional resolutions to nothing. That
message was so distinct, so unanswerable,
that inthe presence of that great, calm
man all excitement disappeared, and
the resolutions came to naught.

Portions of President Grant’s message
were read from the desk. Mr. Hale said
the insurgents now fighting in Cuba had
no legislature, no courts, no organization
such as General Grant had set forth as abs
solutely requisite to the recognition of a
state of war. Their power, he added, is
seated in straggling bands, occupying
straggling camps, and to this day not only
have the insurgents not won a battle, but
they have not fought in anything worthy
of the name of a battle.

Mr. Hale compared the condition in
Spain with that in the south when the
Confederacy was recognized. He said the
Confederacy was completely organized
with full legislative and executive branch-
es, established courts, a formidable army
and navy. And yet at that time our state
department, presided over by Mr. Seward,
urged and protested to European powers
against even a limited recognition of the
Confederacy, and always after recognition
insisted on the rescinding of that recog-
nition.

In the House.

Under the rules of the house today was
set aside for the consideration of business
reported form the District of Columbia
commission. Some minor routine busi-
ness was transacted, however,bef0re Chair-
man Babcock of the district committee
claimed the day. The speaker announced
the appointment of Mr. Hendricks (Dem.,
Ky.) to the place on the banking and our-
rency committee caused by the-retirement
from service on that committee of Mr.
Cowan of Maryland.

A bill was passed on motion of Mr. Doo-
little (Rep., Wash.) to authorize the score-
tary of the treasury to pay S. W. Peele
$5, 000 for services to the old settlers on
Cherokee Indian lands. A resolution was
adopted calling on the secretary of war for
estimates of the cost of repairing the break-
water at Cleveland.

Mr. Daniels, chairman of committee on
election, No. 1, gave notice that he Would
on Wednesday call up the contested elec-
tion case of Aldrich versus Robbins, from
the Fifth Alabama district.

A bill was passed to change the times
for holding court in the northern district
of California.

The house then proceeded to the consid-
eration of ‘the District of Columbia mat-
tors.

, General Draper’s Opinion.

5 WASHINGTON, March 10. ——General Dra-
per of Massachusetts, one of the two mem-
bers of the house committee on foreign
affairs who opposed the resolutions for
the recognition of Cuban belligerency, has
returned to Washington after a stay Of
several days in Massachusetts. General
Draper declares that the public of New
England was much surprised at the action
of, congress in the matter and is at a loss
to know on what premises the resolutions
were based. “There is already a strong

reaction in the house against its stam-

pede, ” he said, “and if the matter is
brought forward again by a joint resolu-
tion there will be displayed a great change
0 sentiment. If we' are determined to
have Cuba, we would do well to come for-
ward boldly and declare that we intend to

. take her by the strong band, for there is

- t

certainly no justification to be round 1n
international law for our interference in
this quarrel with which we have no con-
cern. We do not need Cuba, nor do we
want her as one of the United States, for
it is questionable whether she has the ca-
pacity for self government.”

committee on banking and currency today
voted to report favorably to the house the

THE PATERSON MYSTERY.

Time of the lilurder Narrowed Down to
Three Minutes.

PATERSON,1 N. J., \Iarch 10.-——The pos-
sible time in which Mary Sullivan was
murdered has been narrowed down to
about three minutes. '

The police and the public prosecutor
have abandoned all hopes of discovering
her slayer. They said that only a death—
bed confession would clear up the mystery.

It has already been set forth that Po-
liceman Nolan, Miss Dunning, Miss Sen-
ior and Sergeant Rickerts were between
9:05 and 9:22 o’clock Wednesday night in
front of the vacant lot where Miss Sulli-
van was found. The Rev. Mr. Wood
passed there at 9:25

It was learned that several other persons
passed the same spot either about the
same time ora little later. John H. Keefe,
who is employed in a broker’scffice in
Pine street, New York, and had been at-
tending a meeting at Mr. Wood’s church,
thinks that he was at the corner of Eight-
eenth street and Park avenue about 9:27.
The Rev. T. G. Sherman, pastor of the

Park Avenue Congregational church, and.

his wife and three friends passed about
the same time thater. Wood did.

It is pretty well established that Olaf
Peterson found the body at 9:30 p. in.

None of these persons saw Miss Sulli-
van. Mr. Wood thinks that she did not
walk along Park avenue on her way home;
that she was prevented from doing so by
fear—the electric lights being out—and
that she probably passed through Fifteenth
and Sixteenth avenues. These streets
were still lighted. If she had gone along
Park avenue, it seems certain that one of

the many persons who were on it at that _

time would have seen her.

The scene of the murder was crowded
with people today. The excitement over
the crime does not abate. Many curiosity
seekers came from other cities. The whole
eastern part of the city has been terrorized.
Women are afraid to venture forth after
dark. The attendance at religious meet-
ings has fallen off one-half.

The Utica Horror.

UTICA, N. Y., 'March 10.—Tl1e search
for bodies in the ruins of Genesee flats,
which began on Saturday, has been con-
tinued since, but without success. Sepa-
rate gangs of workmen under the direction
of ‘city and owners of the building are at
work clearing away the debris and pulling
down the walls. Two ladies’ watches were
found and numbers of small articles and
clothing, but no human remains.

Now Canada Protests.

LONDON, March 10,—Mr. Joseph Cham-
berlain, secretary of state for the colonies,
in the house of commons today, replying
to Sir John Leng, Liberal member for
Dundes, said the government had just re—
ceived a strong protest from Canada in re-
gard to the proposed permanent exclusion
from the United Kingdom of store cattle.

General Booth In London.

LONDON, March 10.—General Booth of
the Salvation Army arrived here unex-
pectedly today. He came overland from
Brindisi in response to urgent appeals from
headquarters regarding the American situ-
ation. The general did not go to head-
quarters, but has been closeted with Bram-
well Booth ever since his return.

Saw Her Child Devoured.

GENEVA, Ala., March 10.—Mrs. Joden,
a farmer’s wife, was burning trash when

tally burned. While she lay helpless and
dying hogs devoured her 2-months-cld
child, which she had laid on the ground
while she worked.

A Foolish Rumor Denied.

LONDON, March 10.—The civil lord of
the admiralty, Mr. Austin Chamberlain,
replying to Mr. John Dillon, member for
East Mayo, Anti- Parnellite, said there was
no foundation for the report that a squad-

POLICE DEFIED BY THE MOB.

thousands of Persons In the Attacking
, Party—The Rioters Finally Dis-
persed—The Consulate Placed

Under a Strong Guard.

BILBAO, Spain, March 10 —Fully 12, 000
persons took part in an anti- American riot
here this afternoon. The demonstration
was Started by a group of. young men at a
street corner who began cheering every sol-
dier who passed by. Their conduct was
soon imitated by other groups. Some mu-
sicians who refused to repeat the national
anthem were hustled, beaten and other-
wise ill treated. The excitement increased
rapidly, and riotous groups formed in the
main streets, cheering for Spain and de-
nouncing the United States.

The authorities did everything possible
to maintain order. Almost the entire p0-
lice force was turned out as soon as the

demonstration assumed a threatening as- «

pact, and the rioters weie dispersed again
and again. Eventually, however, the
crowds became so numerous and excited
that the police were almost helpless. The
mob was armed with sticks and cudgels,
and the pelice were swopt aside.

A11 immense crowd then got together on
the leading thoroughfare and marched to-
ward the residence of the United States
consul, shouting, “Long live Spain!”
“DOan with the Yankees!” On the way
to theconsul’s house the members Of the
mob hurled stones through the windows
of stores and private residences, overturn-
ed a number of vehicles, pulled several
mounted policemen from their horses and
generally behaved in the most riotous
manner. Stores supposed to be American
or dealing in American goods received the
most attention from the'mob. The win-
dows of the consul’s house were badly
shattered, although the police defended the
building.

At the Consulate.
The mob then proceeded in the direc—

«tion of the United States consulate, evi-

dently intending to stone that building
also, but the authorities had taken the
precaution to send a strong force of police
to guard it. A detachment of police was
also stationed ac1oss the streets leading to
the consulate. - When the 1110b reached the
vicinity of the consulate, it was confront-
ed by the police with drawn swords. The
men halted, but began pelting the police
vigorously with stones and pieces of brick.
The policemen, however, held their
ground, and a squad charged the rioters.
The latter began firing pistols at the po-
licemen, two of whom were wounded.
Then the police charged in a body and
used their swords with good effect. The
rioters were dispersed, yelling and booting
at the authorities and shouting, “Down
with the Yankees!” and “Long live
Spain!”

The police made a number of arrests
and encountered considerable difficulty in

escorting their prisoners to the stations. -

During the whole afternoon there was
more or less disorder, and after the mobs
had been quieted down and the police had
been recalled it was decided to keep both
the police proper and the gendarmes con-
fined to barracks until further orders, as
there seemed to be danger of another out-
break of popular fury.

The United States consulate is now

I guarded by a. strong detachment of gen-

darmes armed with carbines, revolvers
and swords. They have instructions to
protect the consulate at any‘cost.

FATAL TBOLLEY COLLISION. I

Four Men Will Die, and llIany Others

_“,'ere Seriously Injured.

Sr. LOUIS,',IMarch10.—As the result,

of the disobedience of orders by J. A. Aik-
en, motorman, a terrible head end colli-
sion occurred between two cars of the
newly completed Kirkwood Electric rail-
road, which connects the suburban town
of Kirkwood with this city. Both cars
were badly smashed, 4 men probably
fatally injured, 29 hurt and between 20
and 30 less seriously inju ed.

The fatally injured are J. A. Aiken and
Sam Smith, motormen; J. L. Jones, claim
agent Missouri, Kansas .11 nd Texas rail-
road, and Richard L01; igan, insurance
agent. All are residents of St. Louis.

‘ The Kirkwood Electric railroad has just
been completed, and great crowds patron-
izcd the line. Every car was crowded. The
line has the passing track system, with
switches at intervals to be used for the
passage of the cars. It was the disobedi—
ence of a rule providing that cars going
in acertain direction should keep a siding
until the next car in the fiber direction
had passed that caused the accident. An

east bound car, with J. S. Peasley as con-
ductOr and J. A. Aiken as motorman,
stopped at a siding about one mile this
side of Kirkwood. The west bound car
not appearing, the our men decided to try
to make the town in a flying leap. They

had almost reached the end of their jour-.

nay-when the other came around a curve
and the two crashed together. The cast
bound car was running at the rate of at
least 35 miles an hour, while the other had
attained a speed equaling 15 miles an
hour. J. A. Aiken, motorman of the east
bound car, and Sam Smith, motorman of
the‘west heund car, were taken out of the
wreck with many bones broken and in-
jured internally. They will die.

Among the passengers the most badly
injured wore J. L. Jones and Richard
Lonagan. Neither can live, it is thought.
Twenty-nine passengers, men, women and
children, were taken out, some with limbs
broken and bodies bruised, but it is
thought that none of those will die. Bo-
tween 20 and 30 others received less seri-
ous injuries.

The Police Are Hard at Vv’ork on the
Case—It Is Thought That the Aged
and \Vealthyp‘t’icthu V1" as Proba-
bly Robbed of About 8400.

LONG ISLAND CITY, N. Y., March 10.—
District Attorney Noble is hard at work
trying to clear up the mystery surround-
ing the murder of Stephen Powell, the
wealthy man who was killed within a few
steps of his home at .Heinpstead, N. Y.,
on Saturday night. There is now no
longer any doubt in the minds of the au-
thorities of Hempstead that robbery was
the only motive for the crime, and Mr.
Noble agrees in this.

It is believed that the men who com-
mitted the murder got about $400 from
the pockets of their victim. It is believed
that there were two engaged in the mur-

der, for the reason that two negroes were.

seen running away from the scene of the
crime. This fact at once led to the sus-
picion that the crime was not committed
by strangers, but that it was the work of
some two men who live in the negro col-
ony of Hempstea‘d. After this theory had
been settled upon, three negroes were ar-
rested and placed in jail.

District Attorney Noble today ordered
the arrest of four others living in the col-
ony, and they will be taken before him
and‘questioned. Three of these men are
arrested only as witnesses. and their testi-
mony may have important bearing upon
the case.

The fourth negro whose arrest was or-
dered today is George Jarvis. His connec-
tion with the case is the only clew that
the authorities have to work upon. That
clew consists of a brier wood pipe found
near the scene of the murder. On this
pipe was carved the name of John Wayne,
a well known negro of I-lempstead and
formerly employed by the gas company of
Powell was
president.

Wayne isnow under arrest, with his two
companions. They are Arthur Mayhew
and Van Rensselaer Simpson, all of whom
were about the town shooting craps and
drinking on Saturday night. The friends
of these men 511V that they can prove an
alibi for them.

There is liti c or no evidence that the
three know anything about the murder.

The Sole Clew.

Several hundred persons were about the
scene of, the. murder searching for some
clew. It was then that the brier pipe
was found.

Mavhaw and Wayne had been arrested
before, but discharged. After the finding
of the pipe they were rearrested, and
Simpson alsowas taken in. Wayne was
questioned closely about his pipe, and he
said that about three weeks ago it was
stolen from him by the negro Jarvis while
the two were in a saloon. Jarvis at that
time denied that he had the pipe, but did
not deny having taken it. Since that
time, Wayne declares, he has not smoked
the pipe, nor did he see it, he says, until
after his second arrest. Wayne‘s story is
what caused Mr. Noble to order the arrest
of Jarvis.

The authorities think that if they can
find the man who had the pipe on Satur—
day night they will know the murderer.
The circumstances of the murder of Mr.
Powell are like ,those of the murder of
James E. Valentine, an old merchant who
was fatally assaulted and robbed by two
negroes - about ten years ago. Old Mr.
Valentine, like Mr. Powell, kept a store
and was in the habit of carrying large
sums of money on his person. Mr. Valen-
tine was waylaid, beaten to insensibility
and robbed after closing his store and
While on his way home.

For the past 20 years most of the brutal
murders in Queens county were committed
by negroes. Old Farmer Jones of South
Oyster Bay had his skull crushed in by
two negroes named Jarvis and Jackson,
who, after robbing their victim, threw his
body intoawell. Jarvis and Jackson were
hanged in the old jail, now the county
insane asylum, at Mineola.

Charles Rugg, another desperate negro
criminal, was hanged at Long Island City
about ten years ago for strangling to death
Mrs. Maybee and her daughter in a barn
on their premises at Brookville.

A Reward of $1,000.

Every effort is making by the Hemp<
stead authorities to get the murderers. The
trustees of the village have offered a re-
ward of $1,000 for information leading to
the arrest and conviction of the murderers.
Mr. POWell had four brothers, one of
whom, David B. Powell, was formerly
president of the City bank of Brooklyn.

The last time Stephen Powell was seen
alive and conscious was shortly after 11
o’clock Saturday night, when he parted
from his two friends, Albert Cooper and
ex—Justice B. Valentine Clowes, at the
corner of Fulton and Franklin streets,
about two blocks from Mr. Powell’s home.
Some 20 minutes later Mr. William G.
LOWe, who lives a few doors beyond Mr.
Powell, discovered the body of a man lying
across the sidewalk almost directly in
front of Mr. Powell’s front gate. The
glare from an electric light was strong.

Mr. Lowe thought that the man was

fOund but his mistake. Mr. Powelllay on
his back, his coat and waistcoat torn open.
His right hand inside waistcoat pocket

had been rifled, and it. is supposed a con~ .

siderable sum of money taken. In the left
hand inside waistcoat pocket was $233,
which had evidently been overlooked by
the murderers.

At the base of the brain there was a se-
vere wound, which icoked as if it had boon
made by some blunt instrument, such as
the blunt end of ‘ an ax. Mr. Powell had
also been struck in ‘ the. faceand one of
his bands was smashed. He was carried
into his house, where he died 25 minutes
later without regaining consciousness. Al-
though Mr.‘ Powell was over 70 years old,
he was still halo and strong. He was
more than 6 feet tall. Hewas in the habit
of carrying large sums of money on his
person. This was a notorious fact in
Hempstead. ‘
