Woods Hole, Mass.,, March 16.—A similarity between the fog signal on the new Hen and Chickens lightship and that on the Vineyard sound light- ship is said to have been the cause of | the grounding of the British steamer Silvia, from New York for Halifax, N. | $., and St. Johns, N. F, on the Sow and Pigs reef at the entrance to Vine- yard sound. The thirty-five passen- gers on the Silvia, among whom were the crew of the wrecked schooner Beta, expressed themselves as willing to remain on the stranded steamer until the tug Orion, which was alse bound east, made a trip to this port for help. Arrangements were made, however, to take them off and send them to Boston. At the time of the accident there was a thick fog, but the sea was smooth and there was little wind. The Silvia grounded within a short distance of the scene of the wreck of the steamer Fairfax in November, 1898, and it was the opinion of mariners of this place that she would have considerable difficulty in extri- cating herself from her position. ASKS DISMISSAL OF SUIT Harry K. Thaw Also Denies Charge of Insanity. New York, March 16.—Denying the charge of insanity and praying for dismissal of the suit, Harry K. Thaw, through his counsel, made answer to Bvelyn Nesbit Thaw’s suit for an an- nulment of their marriage. Thaw’s answer was delivered to Daniel O'Reilly, counsel for Mrs. Thaw, who after receiving the papers, announced that the case would be put on the trial calendar in the supreme court next week. The answer of Harry Thaw is brief and contains only the barest legal formalities. Russell Peabody, Thaw’s counsel, declared that the case would be resolutely contested by his client. Bank Robbers Likely to Escape. Coffeyville, Kan., March 16.—Sev- eral posses are searching in the Osage hills, across the line in Oklahoma from here, for the three bandits who robbed the Tyro State bank at Tyro, Kan., and escaped after a fight with officers. The prospects of the men being captured appear slim. In the fight Marshal ILee of Wann, Okla., Wwas shot in the hand and the horses of two of the pursuers were shot from under them. doees Night Riders Burn Barns. Versailles, Ky, March 16.—Three barns in Woodford county and one Just across the line in Scott were burned by a party of masked men. The men were on horseback and in buggles, the party numbering not more than fifty. A number of shots were fired, but as far as known nobody w: hurt. _— Live Furs. | “Mamma, look!” exclaimed Mary. “Those furs are just like mine.” “Why, Mary, you have no furs,” re- plied the astonished mother. “Yes, I have,” sald Mary, “and they :’re filled with kittens.”—School Educa- lon. |downs in the engine rooms. FRANCE IS SURPRISED Successful Trip of Our Battleship Fleet a Revelation, HAD ANTICIPATED TROUBLE Believed Long Voyage Would Develop Structural Weaknesses in the Ves- sels or at Least Serious Breakdowns in the Engine Rooms. Paris, March 16.—News of the de- cision to send the American battleship fleet back to the Atlantic coast by way of Australia and the Suez canal Is i received here as a crowning revela- ticn of the efficiency of the American navy. The statement that the cruise is o be extended in this manner has opened the eyes of the French public, which had been led to believe that the American navy was a good deal of a “bluil;” that the cruise around South America would demonstrate the inca- of the vessels and that if it was accomplished the ships would be ready for the scrap heap. Even in French naval circles the belief was that the long voyage would develop structural weaknesses in the vessels themselves, or at least serious break- In view of these opinions the announcement that the fleet arrived at Magdalena bay ahead of her schedule, ready for target practice and in better condition than when it sailed from Hampton Roads in December has created all the more astonishment. Many French officers now frankly say that the impressive demonstra- tion given by the American fleet of its ability to keep at sea raises the American navy to an equality with that of Great Britain and that if the return journey is as successful as the trip around South America has been the American navy will have demon- strated that it has no superiors in the world. The French minister of marine, M. Thomson, is so impressed with the result of this cruise that he is in- structing Lieutenant Commander de Blanpre, the French naval attache at ‘Washington, to proceed to San Fran- ! cisco and send in a full report of the { condition of the ships and the lessons of the cruise. The lack of boiler acci- dents during the voyage already has called out criticism of the contrast furnished by the French navy, where trouble in the engine room is con- stant, and M. Thomson has been in- terpellated as to why the government does not use the American type of boiler, which is now being manufac- tured in France. il MAKING GOOD PROGRESS. Negotiations Between Japan and China on Tatsu Maru Incident. Peking, March 16.—The negotia- tions looking to a settlement of the difficulty between China and Japan growing out of the seizure by China of the Japanese steamer Tatsu Maru are making favorable progress. The Chinese foreign board has approved ithe draft of a document in which China accepts the last proposals made by Japan. China will pay Japan 21, 400 yen (about $10,700) and retain the arms that form the cargo of the Tatsu Maru and she will pay also about 10,000 taels demurrage on the isteamer. It is expected that the Tatsu Maru will be released shortly. In addition Japan agrees to adopt and enforce sirict regulations to prevent future trafic in arms and ammuni- tion from Japan into China, but she refuses to include the territory of Macao in this limitation. China will soon take up negotia- tions with Portugal regarding the con- traband traffic at Macao. She hopes that an accurate delimitation of Portu- guese waters at Macao now will be secured and that the gambling for which Macao is notorious, as well as the smuggling done through that port, may be materially restricted. COMES UP ON APRIL 13, Trial of Mayoralty Contest in New York City. Kew York, March 16.—The right of George B. McClellan to the office of mayor of New York city, which is countested by William R. Hearst, will be determined at a trial which is to begin before the appellate division of the supreme court on April 13. This date was fixed in an order is- sued by tlre appellate division in pur- suance of a recent order granting the right to open the boxes in disputed districts for the purpose of recounting the ballots. The order also commands the drawing of a special panel of 100 talesman. The mayoralty contest has been dragging through the courts for more than two years. Important to Tobacco Growers. ‘Washington, March 16.—A bill of great importance to the tobacco inter- sts of the country was passed by the house of representatives. Among other things it provides for the re- moval of the tax on leaf tobacco when bought by storekeepers or dealers and sold to consumers; permits storekeep- ers to buy and sell it as any other commodily without paying the tax and abrogates certain rules of the internal | revenue bureau wkith prevent the grower from selling #» delivering his tobacco to_consume.. by his agent. ELOPING PASTOR TALKS. Admits It Is Impossible to “Buck the World.” San Franclsco, March 16.—Jere H, Cooke, the deposed pastor of the Epis- copal church at Hempstead, L. I, who eloped with Floretta Whaley about a year ago and who, it is said, has telegraphed to Mrs. Kezieh ‘Whaley, the girl's grandmother, for help, as he and family were ill and destitute, was located in this city. The couple were found living in a suite of rooms on Masonic avenue, well to all appear- €5 Aiid’ WIth ¢omtortable surround- ings. The baby alone looked pale and peaked, but the parents attributed this to the hot weather. In an interview the former rector admitted that he had telegraphed for help and admitted that the struggle of life had been too much for him and that Re had made a failure of every- thing. “We are different from the others,” said Cooke. “We cannot ask friends to help us, because we threw aside friends. We laughed at the world— and the world will laugh at us. Late- ly I have begun to realize that no man, however strong he may be or however great may be his incentive, can buck the world. It is older than us and stronger.” In reply to the question: “You are comfortable and seemingly have all you want?” he said: “It is not a mat- ter of material comfort, its the knowl- edge that one is an outcast. It is the understanding that to the kind heart- ed you are an object of charitable curiosity and to the others just a simple cad. These are things which no man can fight and I am just tired.” END OF MOROCCAN TROUBLE French Government Believes Peace ls in Sight. Paris, March 16.—The government at last believes that there is a good prospect of a definite settlement of the trouble in Morocco. This will be based upon the submission and elim- ination of Mulai Hafid, the insurgent sultan. While negotiations with Mulai Hafld have not yet been actually be- gun General d’Amade, the French com- mander in Morocco, telegraphs that supplications for peace have been re- ceived from Hafid and his leaders. The general reports also that French troops are encamped at the gates of Settat and that the pacification of the entire Chaouia region is proceeding rapidly. Madrid, March 16.—Official confir- mation has been received here from Moroceo of the report that Mulai Ha- fid, the insurgent sultan, has submit- ted peace proposals to Abdel Aziz the sultan of record. It is rumored that an arrangement may be made by which Mulai Hafid and his lieutenants will be furnished money for an indefi- nite pilgrimage to Mecca; in other words, that they will be paid to leave the country. KING EDWARD RESPONSIBLE Permitted London Times to Learn of Kaiser's Letter. Berlin, March 16.—A lively corre- spondence has been in progress be- tween members of the English and German courts since the fact became public that Emperor Willilam sent a personal letter to Lord Tweedmouth, first lord of the British admiralty, in February, supposedly concerning the British naval estimates. Through this chennel news has reached the German court that it was King Edward him- self who permitted the information about Emperor William's letter to be communicated to the London Times. Unwillingness to publish his majesty’s communication and Lord Tweed mouth’s reply was expressed on the English side because, as was inti- | mated at the time, to do so might embarrass Lord Tweedmouth. For this reason the emperor did not give his consent for publication. Copies of the letters in gquestion, however, have been shown to various personms, who are able to say, as a result of their own reading, that the letter of Emperor William contained nothing that could be construed into interfer- ence with the naval plans of Great Britain. Shot to Death in Street Duel. New York, March 16—A well dressed, prosperous looking Italian was shot to death in a street duel with two men at One Hundred and Fourteenth street and First avenue. The two men escaped. From stories told by several persons who witnessed the affray it is believed that the dead man was a Black Hand agent and that his death was a result of an at: tempt to collect tribute from the men who afterwards killed him. Slays Wife and Himself. York, Pa., March 16.—George Bentz, aged forty-eight years, fired two shots from a revolver into the left temple of his wife and then turned the weapon upon himself and sent a bullet intc his right temple. Both died in a few minutes. Mrs. Bentz was thirty-five years of age. Bentz was out of work and had grown despondent. He was also insanely jealous of his wife. Body Scattered Along Track. St. Cloud, Minn., March 16.—Frank Brown was run over and killed by Northern Pacific train No. 8, bound for St. Paul. Brown had evidently been walking on the track, but the engineer says he did not see him. His body was cut in two near Clear Lake, one-half of the remains being found a mile from the other half Brown’s home was at Fairfield, Minn, DIES OF BLOOD POISONING Young Woman Used Home Made Paints in Masking for Ball. Appleton, Wis.,, March 16.—Word has Dbeen received here announcing the death in Chicago from blood poi- soning of Miss Mary Schmidt, an in- structor in chemistry in a Black Creek (Wis.) school, who, on Jan. 23 last, attended a leap year masquerade disguised as Satan and after the party was unable to remove the mask of home made grease paints. The girl was kept at home for several weeks after the party and Outagamie and Calumet county physicians attempted to remove the paints. Fater she was taken to Chicago for treatment. Lost Mail Packets Located. London, March 16.—A cable inquiry to Japan elicited the fact that the fifteen registered mail packets which disappeared {n January, supposedly while in transit on the steamer Celtic between Lfverpool and New York, have turned up at Yokohama and have been forwarded to the United States. ALIA TRIES TO ESCAPE Denver Assassin Slashes Throat of “Trusty” in Charge. LATTER NOT SERIOUSLY HURT Holds Condemned Italian Until Help Arrives and Prisoner Is Overpow- ered—Razor ‘Used Probably Left by Former Occupant of Cell. Denvér, March 16—An attempt was made: by Guiseppe Alia, the con- demned murderer of Father Leo, to escape from the county jail where he has been under heavy guard day and night. He made use of a razor blade, with which he slashed the neck of a “trusty” who was cleaning his cell, and made a rush to get away. The trusty, despite his cut, rushed after Alia and pinioned him and he was quickly overpowered with the help of Deputy Warden Carpenter. The trusty has a wound two and a half inches long on his neck, but as the jugular vein is not severed he will recover. 5 ‘When returned to the jail after his conviction on Thursday Alia was stripped of everything and a new com- Dlete outfit was given him except his 8ocks. - These were turned inside out, examined ‘and returned to him. Alia was then placed in the cell for the condemned, which had been thor- oughly swept and cleaned and sup- plied with new bedding. This cell had been occupied by an Italian named Bernafi, who accompanied Alia to Denver from New :York and has been held since the assassination of Father Leo as a suspect and possible witness. After Alia’s conviction Ber nati was removed to another part of the jail and the cell he occupied was then made ready for the condemned man. Bernati was released from jail Friday night and as he passed Alia’s cell he spoke to the condemned man in Italian. It is surmised that Ber- nati may have left the razor concealed in the bowl of the water closet of the cell and told Alia where to look for it when he passed out. GOOD LAWS ENACTED. Philippine Congress a Success Up to Date. San Francisco, March 16.—W. Mor- gan Shuster, formerly collector of the port of Manila, now a member of the Philippine commission and secretary of the board of public instruction, has arrived here on the liner Manchuria. He says that the Philippine congress so far has proved a success. The na- tive legislators have accepted their new responsibidities in a proper spirit and such laws as they have enacted are good. “The Philippines,” he continued, “need a chance to sell their sugar, tobacco and' 'other products. in the United Statés. They also need cap- ital to devélop their resources, but will get neither until the tariff is modified in favor of the islands. “In spite of all obstacles, however, wonders have been done in the isl- ands, especially in and about Manila. We have now a good water supply, scientific sanitation, a good lighting and street car service and first class shipping facilities. The harbors have been improved and when the tarif gives them a chance the islands will be ready to take it.” RESCUES MANY GIRLS. Elevator Boy Sticks to His Post Until Car Is Ablaze. New York, March 16.—One hundred girl employes of the.candy factory of Arthur E. Sessing at 382 Pearl street were at work on the fourth and fifth floors when fire was discovered in the bottom of the elevator shaft, prevent- ing their exit by the stairways. While some of the male employes fought the fire Henry Coch, the elevator boy, ran his car to the top floor and said to the girls in as cool a manner as he could assume: “There is a fire in the base- ment. Maybe you had better let me take you down.” Reassured by his coolness the girls were saved from panic and Coch took five elevator loads of them to the first floor before the flames reached such a height in the elevator well that he was compelled to ‘abandon the car. On his last trip the fire burst into the car and burned his hands, The girls who were not taken ou by Coch took to the roof and the fire escapes and reached the ground safe- ly. The fire consumed tons of candy. The.factory, a five-story building, was practically destroyed. MONTANA TOWN BURNED. Three Hundred Families Homeless as Result of Fire. % Butte, Mont., March 16.—Fire de- stroyed three-fourths of the town of Big Timber, about 150 miles east of this city on the Northern Pacific rail- zoad. Three hundred families are rendered homeless and the loss is estimated at more than $400,000. For seven hours the fire raged. A terrific gale prevailed and not infre- quently the flames: would leap a block at a time, licking up dwelling after dwelling. Early in the struggle con- trol of the fire was lost and a special train with fire fighting apparatus was hurried from Livingston, about thirty miles west of Big 'Timber. WILL MOVE FOR NEW TRIAL Tonvicted Capitol Conspirators Re- leased on Bail. Harrisburg, Pa., March 16.—John H. Banderson, the capitol furnishings contractor; former Auditor General William P. Snyder, former State Treasurer William L. Mathues and former Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings James M. Shumaker, who were found guilty of conspiracy to de- fraud the state, may not be called for sentence for many months, if at all. As soon as the jury, which had been o | STERE In e Tor Beveral , returned its verdict of guilty as to all four men Judge Kunkel received mo- tions for new trials and allowed thirty JAMES M. SHUMAKER. days in which to file the reasons. ‘When they are entered upon the rec- ord Judge Kunkel will set a time for argument and will decide the matter at his convenience. The general be- lief is that no new trial will be grant- ed, but of course this is mere specula- tion. Should a retrial be refused the case will be taken to the appellate courts. The court has granted a continu- ance of the bail in which the defend- ants in this case are held. Only San- derson and Snyder were at the court- house when the verdict came in and the others were represented by coun- sel. DIED BY THEIR OWN HANDS Girl Who Attempts Suicide Lone Sur- vivor of Party of Six. New York, March 16.—A Startling story of how five young girls who came from St. Paul little more than a year ago died each by her own hand was told by seventeen-year-old Helen Baxter after she had made a vain effort to end her own life. Helen said she was one of the party of six girls who came to New York to make their way in the world after receiving a course of training in a business school in the Minnesota city. She turned on the gas in her room, but was found in time for her life to be saved. When asked why she had tried to end her life the girl astonished the ambulance surgeon and others who had crowded around her by her story of the fate of her friends. “Why should I not be allowed to die?” she asked. “My five girl friends ‘who left St. Paul with me a year ago, after we left school, have all commit- ted suicide. I want to die as they died and join them.” “Was it a suicide pact?’ she was asked. “My five friends are all dead and they died as they chose,” was her re- ply. The girl refused to give the names of any of her girl friends. WORKS CLEVER SCHEME. “Con” Man Secures $1,075 monds for $21. Minneapolis, March 16.—Mr. “Mau- rice,” a prepossessing gentleman, worked a clever game on the jewelry firm of Fiske & Johnson, making away with $1,075 worth of diamonds. “Maurice” entered the store and asked to see the diamonds. He select- ed several stones valued at $1,075. He counted off the money. The clerk then counted the amount and informed “Maurice” that he was $1 short. “Maurice” admitted the shortage. Searching about his pockets for the other dollar he pulled forth a big roll of bills. Placing them on the counter he “accidentally” knocked the $1,074 to the floor. He picked up the $1,074 which he apparently laid on the coun- ter. Taking the diamonds he left the store. Then the clerk awoke to find that the stranger had left only $21. OPPOSE INSPECTION PLAN Many Grain Men Object to Bill Now Pending in Congress. ‘Washington, March 16.—Represen- tatives of the grain growing, shipping and exporting interests from the prin- cipal cities of the country met here in conference under the auspices of the Grain Dealers’ National assoola- tion to consider measures pending in eongress providing for the establish- ment by the secretary of agriculture of classification and grading of grain, the appointment of federal inspectors and prohibition of the use of other grades. Considerable opposition has devel- oped among the grain trade to the broposed plan for the reasons that there will be required a very large number of inspectors; that it is im- Dossible to have one set of grading rules apply to the entire country and the merchants consider the proposed interference with their business. by the government as unwarranted. - The bresent grading of cereals is almost entirely by boards of trade and sim- ilar bodies and is thoroughly satisfac- tory, it is claimed, to those dealing in the commodities. Prominent Attorney Suicides. Akron, 0., March 16.—Attorney George C. Kohler, son of former State Attorney General J. A.

B 3 BIG FINE CONFIRMED American Asphalt Company Must Pay Venezuela $5,000,000. AIDED MATGS REVOLUTION Castro Government Holds Concern Liable for the Estimated Cost of Putting Down the Revolt—One More Chance to Appeal. Caracas, Venezuels, March 16.—The superior court of Venezuela has hand- ed down a verdict confirming the judg- ment of the lower court which con- demned the New York and Bermudez Asphalt company to pay a fine of $6,000,000 to the Venezuelan govern- ment for having extended assistance to the Matos revolution, which was directed against President Castro. This sum is the estimated cost of put- ting down the revolution. The com- pany will appeal to the court of cassa- tion. The finding of the lower court re- ferred to in the above dispatch, which is the civil court of first instance, was handed down in August of last year. The appeal to the court of cassation is now the only thing that remains to the company so far as the situation in Venezuela is concerned. It was from American witnesses and from testimony taken before American judges in United States courts that the Venezuelan government obtained its most important proof of the part alleged to have been played by the asphalt company in the Matos revo- lution, the furnishing of the money with which to start the fight. The controversy between the as- phalt company and the Venezuelan government has been long and bitter and was in a critical state at the time | that Herbert W. Bowen was American minister at Caracas. On this occasion the state department sent what was practically an ultimatum to Venezu-| ela in regard to the matter. The charge that the company aid- ed the Matos revolution with funds has been substantiated, officials of the | company having testified to the truth ! of this statement in New York in 1905.
