SENATE
Mr. Mason to Introduce a. Reso-
lution for Intervention.
HE WILL WAIT N0 LON GER
Hus Material for a Three Hours’ Speech
l in Favor of His Proposition and Pro-
poses to Make Things Interesting---No
\Vord from Minister Woodford.‘
Washington, Feb.‘ 8.—-Senator Mason
. will introduce in the Senate as soon as
he gets a. chance a resoution instruct-
ing the President to intervene to stop
the war in Cuba. The resolution when
[introduced will go over one day, ac-
cording to the rules. He has collected
data enough to furnish him material
for a three-hours’ speech and he pro-
poses to make these three hours ex—
ceedingly interesting. ,
A good deal of pressure has been
brought to bear on Senator Mason
from Administration circles to induce
him to postpone the introduction of his
resolution for the present, but the Son-
ator positively refuses to do so.
“I have been waiting, resolution in
hand, ever since Congress assembled
for the Administration to act,” said
Senator Mason this afternoon, “but it-
has not done so, and I' shall wait no
longer.”
There
has been a feeling of uneasi-
ness in Administration circles in re—
gard to Cuba, not that the President
has changed his policy, but some action
from Spanish quarters may change the
situation. If Senator Mason persists in
introducing his resolution and making
a. fiery speech, as he threatens, it will
no doubt cause criticism in Madrid and
perhaps in Havana. It would take very
litttle to ignite the smouldering fires
at these places, and hence the friends
Df the Administration still hope to per-
suade Senator Mason to wait before
offering his resolution.
The‘ Senate went into executive ses-
sion early yesterday, and this prevent—
ed Mr. Mason from carrying out his
threat at Once. Mr. Mason also threat-
ens to say something on Hawaii, if he
gets the flooron Cuba. He intimates
that he will fight against the treaty,
unless his resolution is acted upon.
SAGASTA'S ALLEGED NOTE.
Nothing of Importance in Our Negotia-
tions Believed to Have Transplred.
W'ashington, Feb. 8.———Inquiry at the
State Department develops the fact
that no instructions additional to those
under which he was acting have been
sent to Minister Woodford, so that if
he presented an additional notefib the
Spanish Foreign Office \last Saturday,
as has been reported, he was simply
:arrying out the instructions from the
President, of which the latter gave an
abstract in his message to Congress.
It is n; - believed that there have been
any steps of great importance in the
made any important communication in
111swer to Minister W’oodford, else the
latter would have cabled the fact to
the State Department, and so far, it is
said, nothing of the sort has been re-
ceived from him.
The feeling here, however, is strong
that if autonomy has really failed—and
the Administration officials learn from
Consul-General Lee and other reliable
sources that it has no chance of imme-
diate success—it will be imperative on
the United States to insist upon no
further delay in Spain giving public
recognition of her inability to continue
despotic rule in'the island, and unless
the promptly offers the Cubans a fuller
scheme of self-government our fleet of
warships will make a. demonstration at
Havana.
Judge Day, who has supervision of
the diplomatic relations between this
country and Spain, fails to deny that-
.a crisis is at hand, although on pre-
vious occasions he has spoken frankly
when unsubstantiated rumors were in
eirculation. He now says regarding the
Madrid dispatches: “I have not been
)fiicially informed that a note was pre-
sented by Minister Woodford, and I
have not been officially informed that
the Spanish Government made any re-
ply to the note, if a note was presented.
Therefore, I do not think I had better
ialk about it.”
There is no way of learning the ex-
tct truth in this matter, except through
the State Department, and when the
‘nformation is denied, reason for be-
ieving that such an important step has
oeen taken by the Government is cre-
ited.
Important News Halts the Senate.
Washington, Feb. 8.—The Adminis-
:ration is preparing for a new move in
the Cuban matter. That is the infor-
nation which came to the Capitol yes-
terday afternoon from the White
House. Senators who were ready to
'oree a' Cuban debate yesterday after-
noon were asked to postpone the de-
bate for two or three days.
In the meantime, a change in the sit-
uation is expected. Just what it will
be is— not yet known, but it is thought
that Spain will definitely set a time for
ending the war in the island.
That the situation is ver ' strained is
shown by the fact that all cipher cable-
;rams from Madrid are now translated
it the White House and not allowed to
go through the usual channels at the
State Department.
New Bridge Over'the Niagara.
“'ashington, Feb. 8.-—The members of
and Foreign Commerce returned yes-
terday from Buffalo, where they spent
Saturday and Sunday inspecting the lo-
cation of the proposed international
bridge over the Niagara River at'Grand
lsland and the site of the Pan-Ameri-
zan exposition. One of the members of
the committee said that in his opin-
on the committee at its next meeting
would act favorably upon the bill
granting a cha1ter to the bridge com-
mny.

THE NEWSPAPERS WARNED
Sensationalism in the Reports of the Pro-
ceedings Against the Sheriff and Hi:
Deputies Denounced from the Bench--
Threatens to Bar Out Reporters.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Feb. 8.—-Just before
the noon adjournment in the Martin
trial yesterday the Court accepted bail
for-all,“ the accused deputies and the
Sheriff ‘in the amount of $6,000 in cool
case, making $492,000 in all. Bail was
furnished by the Philadelphia Surets
Company.
Hundreds of persons, anxious to hear
what action Judge Woodward would
take in reference to the sensational out.
break on Saturday between Atttorneys
Garman and Lenahan, opposing coun-
sel in the La‘ttimer shooting case,
thronged the court room yesterday- So
great was the crush that the court of-
ficers had difficulty in checking the
stream of people and closing the doors
Judge Woodward, as soon‘as all the
attorneys had assembled, spoke of the
incident of Saturday, saying that, af-
ter he had left the bench and before
court adjourned an altercation had
arisen between two of the lawyers e11-
gaged in the Martin trial winch the
court did not fully hear, nor realize the
words uttered until they were seen in
the newspapers. '
“Had we heard,” said the Judge
“what was said, we should have dealt
with the lawyers in a summary man-
ner, as the affair so deserved, and it
there is a. repetition of it we shall pun-
ish the guilty parties for contempt of
court.”
Judge Woodward went on to say that
the atttorneys were officers of the court
and that their aid was necessary in
preserving the dignity of the court as
the nature of the case demanded. Then
came a severe denunciation of the sen-
sationalism of certain newspapers in,
as the court said, endeavoring to pre-
vent justice by an exaggeration or the
facts and the incidents of the trial in
print and pictorially. He would, he
said, not mention any names at pres-
ent, but “if the astounding falsehoods
and misrepresentations continue the
representatives of the papers will find
the door of the court closed to them."
“This is a. court of justice,” contin—
ued the Judge, “engaged in the ,trial
of a. case dealing with the life or death
of a number of men, and is not a con-
cert or a. political convention. The dig-
nity of the court must, and will, be pre-
served.”
The first witness to be called yester-
day was Constable Jones, of Hazleton,
whose name had been frequently men-
tioned by the previous witnesses. He
had seen the strikers at West Hazleton
and again at Lattimer. He was 100
yards from the scene of' the shooting
at Lattimer, saw the scufi'le and heard
the scattering shots and the volley. He
described the effé'ét of the shots, and
said that he had helped in taking care
of the wounded, and had seen several
of the deputies doing the same thing
and helping to load the victims on am-
bulances and cars.
The witness. testified that he saw
Deputy John Bernheisen compel one 01‘.
the strikers to go back after the strik—
er had started to run. There was some
talk, the witness said, to the effect that
Bernhelsen had been sent to prevent
the strikers from getting away.
The defense scored a point when the
witness testified that the Sherii. 1d
a. paper in his hand when he stepped
out bfore the rioters. All the previous
witnesses for the prosecution had swore
that the Sheriff had on paper in his
hand.
John Yeager, a Slavonian, who re-
quired an interpreter, said he had seen
the deputies on their wayto Lattimer
on the day of the shooting. All were
armed with rifles, but he could not see
whether the Sheriff had any weapon.
He pointed out a number of the depu-
ties in the court room whom he did not
know by name.
Yeager was the first witness w 110 at-
tempted to identify the deputies who
fired shots. He went among them an
' put his hand on the shoulders of Hall,
Platt, Turnbnch, Jones, Cook, Clark and
Fritzinger.
Each was requested to rise and show
himself to the jury. On cross-examina-
tion Yeager said he could not be posi-
tive that these men fired shots, but he
saw them hold their guns to their
shoulders.
He repeated with emphasis that the
deputies fired several times after the
first volley, but he could not swear-
that all of them shot after the volley.
He said he could point any deputy who
was there.
Attorney Lenahan called upon John
Hampton, Chief of the Coal and Iron
Police, to come forward, and as he
stood in front of the witness stand
Lenahan asked:
“Was this man there?"
“Yes," cried-Yeager, excitedly.
“What kind of a gun did he have in
his hand?”
“Same kind of gun as the others.”
“Was he shooting?”
“Yes, he was shooting, too."
This completed the evidence.
Now the truth of the matter is that
Hampton was not among the deputies
at all, and that he was in Hazleton at
the time of the shooting, and the \ it—
ness has been ca aught in a. trap 05,!) wk ich
the defense will make much.
Clerk Hall. of the Valley Hotel, at
Hazleton. gave an important bit of tes-
timony at this point.
The last witness was John Costello;
who said he was helping a wounded
man when Deputy A. E. Hess ap-
proached him. He was about to detail
the conversation which ensued and by
which the Commonwealth hoped to
prove malice (m the part of the dep-
uty, when the defense objected.
There was a long argument conduct-
ed by Messrs. Palmer and Lenahan for
the defense. and Messrs. Scarlet, Mc-
Gahren, Gar-man and Martin for the
Commonwealth.
During the argument the jury was
dismissed and at its end the court ad-
3' )urned.

E’otter, and in that case there will be
1 bitter struggle, and the result. cannot

But there are momentous questions
taming up for consideration by the
:onvention, and the amendments to the
7onstitution may make very material
:hanges in the manner of runnning and

DI’ODOSBG for adoption is one providing
’or race meets on Sunday. At present ,
:he constitution prohibits this, but the ‘
1ew clause to be submitted for adop-
:ion reads as follows: “The racing
aoard shall grant sanctions for race
meetings to be held on Sunday, subject
.0 the other restrictions of this article,

Board of Officers of the division shall

On another matter 'of interest Presi-
lent Potter says: “The abuses carried

ently displayed L. A. W. signs, and of
which mention was made in my semi—

1ttempt by official letter or by the
iarotest of a. local consul to suppress the
vvork of these petty swindlers, and I
1m‘persuaded that a. more effectual
neans should be attempted. I recom-
rnend that we ask the Legislature at

A TREASURY SHORTAGE.
Result of a. Recount, Owing to 11 Labor-
er’s ConfessionH-Lead Substituted.
Washington, Feb. 7.—A recount of
theTreasury cash, whichwas complet-
ed late Saturday afternoon, disclosed
a. shortage of $859. The recount, which
was made necessary by the appoint-
ment in June last of Ellis H. Roberts
as United States Treasurer in place of
D. N. Morgan, was begun on July 1,
and since that time about $797,000,000
in cash has been counted. No errors or
shortages of importance were discov-
ered until the Treasury Committee had
begun work in silver vault No. 1, in
which there were 103,653,000 standard
dollars.
A colored laborer, Martin, was one
day discovered in the coal and wooc‘
suspicious circum—
stances and a. search resulted in the
finding of a. number of silver dollars.
which presumably he had abstracted
Martin was
ting that he had taken twenty-eight
dollars, for which he had substituted
..lead. The court imposed a fine of $50
and Martin was released.
This admisSion cast suspicion upon
the entitre contents of the vault, and
a. count by handling each individual
piece was ordered. On September 10
twenty-eight “expert counters, and a
force of laborers and verifiers, under
the direction of Assistant Cashier G.
C. Banee, began the work of counting
the contents of this vault. The time
employed, therefore, was nearly five
months, the counters working eight
hours each day.
The shortage of '3859 will be made
good by Mr. Morgan, the retiring treas-
urer. It is probable, however, as has
been done in similar cases, that Con-
gress will make an appropriation in Mr.
Morgan’s favor covering the amount.
REFORM l8 NEEDED.
, System of Examining Pension Applicants
Is Costly and Unfair.
Washington, Feb. 7.—The present
system of examining pension applicants
-, should be abolished, and the sooner the
better, says Commissioner H. Clay
Evans. The examining boards are ex-
pensive, inefiicient and biased by polit-
ical and local influences. “There ought
to be only one corps of examining phys-
icians and surgeons,” said .Governor
Evans, “that would travel from State
to State at advertised times to exam-
ine the old soldiers. Then-they would
not be swayed by local likes and dis-
‘likes, as they are now.
“If one travelling board were substi-
tuted -for the thousands that are now.
scattered over the country, the Govern—
ment would save hundreds of thou-
sands of dollars. There are more than
'100 boards in the State of Ohio alone.
-New York City has no less than eight
i boards.
Each doctor gets $2 for every
pension applicant he examines-Would
there be a fight if I tried to get the
present system abolished? “'ell, I
guess there would. The Congressmen,
as a. whole, would sit down on the idea
so quick it would make my head swim.
And only the Congressmen can bring
- the change about.”
Hawaiian Party Leaves for San Francisco.
Washington, Feb. 7.—Last night the
entire Hawaiian party left this city for
Buffalo, N. Y., and will go direct from
there to San Francisco. Friends of
President Dole deny the statement
made in certain newspapers that his
departure last night was hastened by
the adverse criticisms made in the Sen-
ate by Senator ,White. of California.
While the remarks of the California
Senator directed against Mr. Dole are
greatly to be regretted, it is said that
the latter has. paid no attention to the
speech, and has not altered his plans
in the least.
Salary of Fourth-Class Postmasters.
Washington, Feb. 7.—v-Representative
Campbell, of Illinois, has introduced a.
bill fixing the minimum salary of
fourth-class postmaste‘rs at $25 per
quarter. The salaries of these officers,
being dependent upon the number of
stamps concelled, are in hundreds of
cases ridiculously low, some. even less
than $1 a year. The bill provides that
the difference is to be taken from the
proceeds derived from the sale of
stamps and other sources of revenue.
Wanamaker to Lead the Revolt for Reform .
Philadelphia, Feb. 7.—John Wana-
maker will to-day meet a committee
of citizens, appointed at a convention
of the Philadelphia Bourse lastweek,
to tell them whether he will run for
Governor'of Pennsylvania to smash the
corrupt Quay machine in Pennsylva-
nia. Mr. Wanamaker will probably ac-
cept. He has no desire to be Governor.
As the foremost merchant in Pennsyl-
vania it will be inconvenient for him
to go to Harrisburg to live. As an ex-
Cabinet ofiicer the ofilce of Governor
presents no political promotion, no new
dignity. But the pressure of the best
public spirit in the State, so long ring-
ridden and so pillaged by Quay, is urg-
ing Wanamaker to take the lead in the
great fight to dethrone Quay forever
this fall.

Ithaca, Feb. 7.—Carlton B. Perry, 13‘

vious to this he had attempted to end
his life with poison.

FOR AN ALASKA BAlLEOAD.
Suggested Between ihe~
. United (States and Canada. ‘
ll'ashington, Feb. 7.-—The attention of
the Senate..Committee on Public 1.211121:
has been called to the proposition of a
Canadian corporation to build or. n.1—
1-11.l route to the, Klondike c011nt1,,‘. .1
it is said the Canadian Graver; :‘.e 1T.
proposes to give this company 4.50.2. {:3
acres of land and to prevent an)" other
{ZOI'DOI‘ation from building to the Klon-
dike over Canadian soil. The commit-
tee has been informed that a great deal
of opposition has developed to this
proposition in Canada, and it has been
suggested that Congress at once take
suchaction as will bring about amica—
ble relations between Canadians and
Americans, so that trade relations may
not be impeded and so that traffic- may
be diverted to proposed American lines.
The committee was informed that a.
bill to meet these desires was being
prepared in the Treasury Department,
but the opinion was expressed that it
could not be‘made a part of the bill
now under consideration.

Troops Needed in Alaska.
“Washington, Feb. 7.—In calling the
attention of Congress to the neceSsity
of establishing additional military posts
in Alaska, Mr. Meikeljohn, the Assist—
ant Secretary of War, says: “Informa—
tion received at the departments from
various sources indicates the neces-
sity for legislation to provide effective
means for controlling the disorderly
element among the large number of
people now in and flocking to the Ter-
ritory of Alaska, and for preventing
persons who are without an adequate
supply of food and clothing from enter-
ing the Territory to perish during the
severe W'inters, unless relieved. by the
Government."
Trouble Over Belief Supplies.
Butte. Mont, Feb. 7.—Informa.tion
comes from Leth'bridge, on the Cana-
dian boundary, that orders have been
received from the Dominion Govern-
ment that ,every man of the mounted
police must hold himself in readiness
to proceed to the Yukon at a. moment’s
notice. The orders are said to be due
to the existence of serious trouble be-
tween the Canadian and United States
authorities in‘ Alaska. relative to al-
leged attempts by Americans to get
provisions into the Yukon free of duty,
ostensibly for the relief of the dis—
tressed, but in reality for sale to the
highest bidders.
Crowded Klondike Steamer.
Tacoma. Wash, Feb. 7.——The steamer
Queen, the finest vessel in Pacific wa-
ters, has sailed from Tacoma for Ska—
guay and Dyea. 'She carries northward
650 passengers, 1,300 tons of freight, 200
dogs, 30 horses and a quantity of
dressed cattle.
No Duty on Reindeer.
W'ashington, Feb. 7.—The Treasury
Department has issued an order ad-
mitting free of duty as “Transit goods”
the reindeer to be used in the Alaska
relief expedition.
Toledo Tied Up Under an Old Law.
Toledo, Feb. 7.—The streets of Toledo
were packed with thousands of per—
sons yesterday afternoon, especially in
the vicinity of the theatres, where the .
multitude had its curiosity gratified by
seeing the theatrical folk arrested and
marched to the police station. All this
was on account of an order issued Sat-
urday by Mayor Samuel Jones to en.-
force every ordinance on the books, no
matter how obsolete. Barrooms were
closed at 11 p. m. on Saturday, and
remained so all day yesterday. The
same order also applied to all news-
stands, restaurants, confectionery and '
tobacco stores, drug stores and milk
and bread depots. The dealers at the
hotels were not even allowed to sell
daily papers, and it was only by strat-
egy that anybody was able to buy his
Sunday paper. M =
