THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., | a a ae SILCOTT FOUND IN CANADA. He Tells a Correspondent That He Can- not Be Extradited. LIVING WITH Miss THIRBAULT IN HER FATEER'S HOUSE—HE ATTRIBUTES BIS DOWNFALL TO THE ‘BACKS, AND SAYS WHEN ALL I8 KNOWN BE WILL NOT APPEAR 48 BLACK AS BE IS NOW PAINTED. A New York Herald correspondent telegraphs from Terrebonne, province of Quebec, that after a search lasting almost two months he has at last seen and spoken to Craven Edward _ Bileott, the cashier of the sergeant-at-arms’ Office of the House of Representatives, who absconded from Washington November 30, leaving behind him an empty safe and many Representatives with empty pockets. Silcott is now under indictment, the charges set forth in the indictment embracing forgery and grand larceny. The amount which Silcott is alleged to bave taken is about —. The Herald correspondent at Terrebonne says: “T have also spoken to Louise Thiebault, the frail beauty for whom it is said he went wrong, im the resi: of her aged parents, who are ical samples of the Canadian rural gentry. ey seem to be still unaware of their daughter's fall and apparently believe that she is the wife of the man whom she is said to have lured to The interview with Silcott was brief. He seemed to be ill at ease and to wish himself miles away. The haunted look he bore during our interview was pitiful tosee. THE SEARCH. Almost as soon as Silcott’s flight became known a description of the absconder was wired me from the Herald. Fearing that he might first visit Montreal after his flight my first step was to secure the services of Detective Grosae of the Canadian secret service. I gave him all the information in my yn and asa re- sult at a late hour last night I received infor- tion that the absconder was living quietly in this little village, which is some twenty-six miles from Montreal on the line of the Cana- dian Pacific railroad. So here I came and with considerable diffi- eulty found Mr. Thiebault’s house. After re- peated rappings at the door Mr. Thiebault came out and asked what could I want at what he called an unseemly hour. “I wish to see your daughter, Miss Louise ‘Thiebauit,” I replied. ou can see no one here tonight,” was the answer. “We are all in bed.” “You bad better let me see her,” I said, “as Icome with a warning.” The old man was again about to refuse when a female voice from aside room said, “I will see the man, father.” And the next instant I was in the presence of a fine looking woman of between thirty and forty. She was plainly but neatl: Her ple face and sunken though still brilliant eyes told that her life had been a stormy and doubtiess chaotic one. “What do yon want, sir?” she asked. I -_ her who I was and the nature of my “Well, you can get no information from me. The American eres have treated me shame- fully and I will say nothing. I know nothing of Mr. Silcott. He is not here and if you want him you must find him yourself. Good night. Father, show this man the door; he has fon a mistake.” The old Frenchman appeared, an angry gleam flashing in his eye, and before I could make up my mind how to act I was on the out- side of the door. MEETS SILCOTT. As I passed through the gate I almost ran into the arms of a middle-aged, stout man. “I beg your pardon, sir,” said I as I recog- nized the sbsconding treasurer of the sergeant- atarms. ‘How are you, Sileott?” said I, taking the buil by the horns at once. At the mention of the name Silcott the man started backward, and I saw his hand fly to the breast pocket of his great coat like a flash. “What do you want?” be asked, without attempting to deny his identity, I told him I was sent by the New York Herald to ask him a few questions. “Well, you must be brief.” said he. “I came to ask you if you cared to say any- thing about your alleged defaleation.” SAYS HE IS NOT TO BLAME. “Now listen tome,” saidhe. “Thisis neither the time nor the place to speak of this defalca- tion, but the time will come when those who are uow hardest agzinst me will know I was not so much to blame. As to the charge of forgeries that is all bosh. ‘There is scarcely a member of the House to whom I did not ad- vance his pay every month and received notes as receipts. When I left Washington tor New York I had not the remotest idea of leaving the United States. As proof of this I have only to unt to tHe tact that on the Wednesday before ast Thanksgiving I drew $36,000 from the ‘Treasury and with $14,000 of tais amount I took up tne notes of some thirty members which bad been urnron, | in the National Metropolitan bank. As to the other money I am accased of decamping with, I assure you I had but very little when t left New York. “There is something else I wish you to con- tradict, and that is the stories that I was a big winner at the races. This is not true, for my losses far exceed my winnings. It was to keep up and be bale fellow well met with these same members of Congress who now are running me down that I first went to the races. My curse on the races! I wish to God I had never gone near them.” “Was it true that you went to Buffalo from New York?” “Yes, that was true, but it was not true that I bought two tickets at the Grand Central depot. Nor is it true that I had been in the company of Fred Miller on my last visit to New York. EXONERATED THE WOMAN, “There is another thing I want stated, and that is that Miss Thiebault, of whom such hideous falsehoods are told, had nothing to do with my fall, Had I always taken her advice I would be in a different position today.” Yould you tell me how you left the states?” rom Buifalo I went to Detroit, then crossed to Windsor, Ont., and then went to Toronto, where I remained ata private boarding house until I was joined by Miss Thiebault, We re- mained there a couple of weeks and then came on here to Terrebonne to visit some of her friends.” “Then the story published in some papers that you aud the lady had been in « boarding house on Sanguimet street, in Montreal, is un- true?” “There is not a word of truth init. We were never in Montreal. We went from Toranto to Ottawa aud then to St. Martin's junction and then here.” “And your plans for the future?” “I have none. Had you come twenty-four hours later you would not have found me, for 1 leave here tomorrow.” ‘ou will not tell your destination?” “{ will not, but this I wiil say: I do not care a cent for all the detectives in the United States and Canads. I would face arrest tomorrow. and that is all they could do. for they would be as far from that $5,000 reward as ever.” “How so?” “I have obtained the best legal advice in Canada, and feel assured that I have com- mitted no offense for which I could be extra- dited. The day will come when I will not ap- pear as black as [ am now painted. Good night.” And thus the interview was brought toaclose. THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS SILCOTT CAN BE EXTRADITED, When a Stax reporter showed the dispatch im the Herald to District Attorney Hoge today the district attorney said that the fact that Silcott had been indicted by the grand jury for forgery was the best indication that they had evidence to support the charge. That offense, he said, is cl 44 traditable under the Enj lish treaty. “If Silcott is really at that place. Judge Hoge continued, «measures will be taken through the State department for his extradition, for when you finda criminal the next thing is to go after him. The evidence of forgery is clear; it was enough for the id jury to find un indictment.” Judge Hoge, jowever, thought the Herald story read too much like other stories that have been printed, and expressed some doubt us to the truth of the statements in the dispatch. NOT CREDITED sT THE CAPITOL. The story published in the Heraid is not re- garded at the Capitol as genuine, though, of course, the members cannot know positively. Mr. Leedom said he had not heard anything to verify the story, and that bis advices were that Miss Thebault’s father lives in Quebec notat Terrebonne. He said that he was in- clued to think that the man who wrote the story had been imposed upon. Sergeant-at- arms Holmes was of the same opinion, Quite a stir and much amusement was caused in the House by the reading of the article aloud by Mr. — of Geor; eel reamee al paper men an: es gathered about him as he Pead and ‘womesous remarks re interjected. Death of Mr. James Kennelly. Mr. James Kenneliy, who resided at No 71G down ou H street by a runaway horse belong- ing to M. L. Smith, and received injuries about the bead and hands.

The second session of the Sabbath reform convention was held at the Foundry M. E. church this morning at 10 o'clock. The intro- ductory service was conducted by Rev. J. G. Butler, The session was devoted to a discus- sion of the best methods of sabbath reform work. This was participated in by Mr. L. C. Inglis of the Maryland Sabbath association, Rey. Wilbur F. Crafts and Mrs. Mary E. Catlin of the Sabbath observance department W.C. T.U. Mr. Crafts and Rev. George Elliot were ap- pointed a committee to nominate seven addi- tional members of the District committee. They withdrew and the reading of the ad- dresses was begun. MRS, CATLIN’S ADDRESS, The first speaker, Mrs. Catlin, in her address said: “It has long been evident that there is urgent need of # Sunday law in this city. Our department of the union has done what it could to stop open violation of the Sabbath day, but have found ourselves sadly hampered by a lack of legal aid in the matter. For instance, we endeavored to put as to Sunday work on the 7th-street cable road, but when we went before the Commisioners of the District on the matter we found that they had no authority. We must appeal to law, educate and agitate and do what we can for those whose condition we are striving to ameliorate.” WHAT IS MEANT BY SABBATH REFORM. Mr, Inglis said: “It is important to under- stand what is meant by Sabbath reform. We must know what was intended of the day by Him who founded it. When we know His de- sign we can know how far short our day falls of His plan and intention. Although the Sabbath was made for man he has no right to use it other than it was intended he should. Those who mean well often do wrong. For instance, it is said that the running of Sunday excursion trains, which has become such an evil, was begun at the request of Christian peo- ple in the suburban towns around Boston, who desired to attend church in that city. How little they understood to what an extent that ill would grow. In this city, at a recent meeting held in opposition to the passage of the Sunday rest law,one speaker said that it would lead to the union of church and state aud the giving over of our country to the rule of riests. How absurd such a statement sounds, Weclsimasadbaiiera that Congress has aright to make oue day in the week a day of rest fora toil-worn people, even though it leave aside the religious element of the question. Let us agitate the matter. Let us lecture, preach and seatter abroad the literature on the question until we have gained this point, so vital for the nation’s welfare. METHODS OF SFREADING REFORM LITERATURE. Mr Crafts said: “Iam sure we could take a lesson in energy and activity from our oppo- nents. They have their literature scattered broadcast over the land until we see their argu- mentative papers in every house and family. ‘They have speakers everywhere arguing their side of the question and working personally with people in authority. We have two methods for work in opposition to them. One is just beginning to attract attention. This is the syndicate system; an advanced method it is true. But there is no reason why reform should travel by slow coach while vice goes by fast mail. An association has been recently formed to iurnish snydicate matter, that is papier mache colums for use in stereotyping, to the press of the country. It will send out bright condensed articles treating of various reforms, which are to be published by papers all over the land and at the same tin This I think a remark- ably valuable scheme, for it brings our side plainly before the intelligent readers of our country in clear, burning terms, The second plan is the scattering of documents arguing for Sunday laws. There are very few who even know the law on the question in their own com- munity. I have never yet met a minister who could tell me clearly the laws that held in his own state, We are anxious to disseminate knowledge on every branch of the question,” THE DISTRICT COMMITTEE. The committee appointed for the purpose reported the foilowing additional names for the District committee: Hon. A. M. Clapp, Mrs. 8. D. LaFetra, Rev. F. D. Power, D.D., Mr. H. B. Moulton, Kev. J. H. Elliott, Prof. Nelson and Rey. Dr. Dashiell. OFFICERS ELECTED, The followidg officers were elected: Presi- dent, Rev. Dr, Dasheill of Richmond; vice pres- idents, Mr. L. C. Inglis of Baltimore, Rev. J. H., Elliott of Washington, Judge G. L. Cran- mer, Wheeling; Rev. P. 'H. Hoge. North Cur- olina; secretary and treasurer, Col, Weston ‘int. THE AFTERNOON SESSION. At the afternoon session, held at 2 o'clock, Rev. Jas. Stacey, D.D., of Georgia, Rev. Mr. Crafts and Rev, Sylvanus Stall took part in a discussion on “The two war measures, Sunday mails and Sunday trains—do we need them in time of peace?” Addresses were delivered by two representa- tives of the brotherhood of locomotive engi- neers and by Mr. A.M. Dewey, formerly editor of United Labor. Short addresses on various aspects of Sabbath reform were mude by Rev. T. 8. Hamlin, D.D., Rev. L. W. Bates, D.D., Georgetown, Mr. L. Edwin Dudley, secretary National law and order league, and by volun- teers. The final session of the convention will be held at the same | ora this evening at 7:30 o’elock and it is probable the meeting will be largely attended. The introductory service will be conducted by Rev. H. K. Nailor, D.D. Addresses will be delivered by Rev. F. D. Power, D.D., Hon. Elijah A. Morse, member of Congress from Massachusetts, Hon. C. P. Wick- ham of Ohio, Rev. W. A. Bartlett, D.D., Com- missioner Douglass and othe: ae AT THE WHITE HOUSE AGAIN. The Old Man Who Brought the Cane to the President. “Tl come back tomorrow night,” is what Patrick Rowan told Sanitary Officer Frank the other day. when that official furnished him transportation to his home in Haverstraw, N.Y. Rowan is the crank who came here to present a cane to the President, as published in Wednesday's Stan. The oid man kept his word and this morning bright and early he appeared at the White House. Policeman Collins took him in charge and sent bim to the Police Court, where he was ar- raigned as a vagrant. THE PRISONER'S STATEMENT. “Iam an honest American man and citizen of the United States," he responded, He told Judge Miller that he met the Sonof God in Ireland and got the cane from him. “One night about 12 o'clock while in Haverstraw,” he said, “it struck me to give the cane to the President, and that’s the reason 1 came here the other da: “Where's the cane now?" asked the judge. “guess the President's got it,” answered - in 8 squeaky voice, “How did you get here?” “I borrowed money and came on the train,” When further questioned by Judge Miller he saidhe had four children be was proud of. They were Mike, Tom, Bridget and Mary. I've got a father and mother, s grandmother and great grandmother,” he added. WILL BE EXAMINED AS TO HIS SANITY, Judge Miller certified the case to the Secre- tary of the Interior in order to have the old man examined as to his sanity. The prisoner said be had nothing to eat since yesterday morning, and Clerk Clagett sent out and got him his dinner, the clerk paying for the same in the absence of any appropriation for that purpose. = Real Estate Matters.

HARRIS PROPHESIES THAT IN THREE YEARS EVERY ROAD IN THE DISTRICT WILL BE PRO- PELLED BY ELECTRICITY—MR. HALE AND MR. MPHERSON IN DOUBT ABOUT THE PROJECT. Senator Wade Hampton had barely con- cluded his speech on the race question yester- day when Senator Harris arose and asked the consent of the Senate to consider the bill to amend the charter of the Eckington and Sol- diers’ Home railway company. Nobody ob- jected, so the Senate, as in committee of the whole, proceeded to consider. The various amendments as reported from the Senate Dis- trict committee were agreed to. Senator Gor- man said he understood that Senator Harris was going to explain the bill. His (Gorman’s) attention had not previously been called to the measure, ‘MB. MARRIS’ EXPLANATION. Senator Harris thought there was no neces- sity for an explanation. The Eckington road, | he said, as it now exists runs from the Catholic university and from the village of Eckington to its present western terminus on New York ave- nue and 7th street. This extension proposes to run down 5th street from New York avenue to | G street, and thence west along G street to the | eastern boundary of 15th street. The reason | that controlled the committee on the District of Columbia ously was found in the fact that this road ‘ted during the last year over half a million gers, dumped down at the junction of New York avenue and 7th street, a somewhat inconvenient point to reach | to get on or to be dumped off the cars, and in- volving in a great majority of instances the necessity for the payment of another railroad fare to reach the business centers, the business parts and the departments in the city. | In response to questions by Mr. Hale Mr. Harris said that this was an electric road, but the bill expressly provided that if electric cables or wires are used onthe 5th street and G street extension they shall be put under ground, MR. HALE'S REMARKS. Mr. Hale said that when this road was first contemplated and urged it was stated that it was to be what was called a suburban road; that it was outside of the main thoroughfares of travel; that it was to accommodate persons living on the outskirts and beyond, and that there was no intention of bringing it into the heart of the city. He was, he said, opposed to bringing these electric roads any nearer to the center of the city. Atthe best they are dangerous; they result inthe destruction of property and human life, and the tendency of all investigation and of all humanitarian move- ment at the present time is in favor of confin- ing them and not of increasing them. Mr. Harris said that the committee on the District of Columbia reported during the last Congress a bill extending this road with the same Western terminus and that the board of trade of the city of Washington earnestly recommend ft. In transporting over 500,000 people within the last year nota single acci- dent to human beings or to animal life in any form had occurred. According to the opinions of electrical experts throughout the whole of | this country a voltage of not more than 500 volts threatens no danger to animal life. The maximum limit of electrical power used on this road ig 500 volts, and the limit to which they have extended its use has rarely, if ever, ex- ceeded 400 volts. The Senator from Maine, he said, might take the shock forty times a day and he wouid scarcely be conscious of the fact that he had taken it, UNDER GROUND AND OVER HEAD. Senator McPherson wanted to know whether there would or would not be overhead wires | used. Mr. Harris said the bill distinctly provides that, if electricity is used on the Sth and G strects extension, the wires shall be put under ground. Mr. McPherson said he did not know that, after the various experiments which have been made respecting the use of electricity as a moter for cars, it is absolutely determined that | the wires, even when put under ground, are en- tirely safe. He thought other lines of railroads might feel that they are entitled to the same privileges and the same immunities that this road will enjoy if electricity bea much cheaper motor than cither horse power or the cal stem. The question was how far these pri ileges can be extended with perfect safety to the people of the city. ME. HARRIS’ PROPHECY. Said Mr. Harris: ‘As far as eletricity is con- cerned, it is already established, and I will add that the day is not two years distant, and I hope not ten months, when every Senator will | become satisfied that a current of electricity not exceeding 500 volts is wholly innocent and abso- utely free from danger to animal life. expect to see within the next three yaars, and I hope to see within the next three years,every street rail- | road in the District of Columbia propelled by | electricity. There is not such a street railroad in the world today as the Eckington road, which this bill proposes to extend. It is the most complete in all of its appointments. It is | as free from danger as any horse railroad or | any other system of street transportation that | ever was devised. I hope the bill will pass without further opposition.” The bill did not come to a vote, however, for Senator Cullom saw that a vote would develop the fact there was not a quorum present, so he sted on his motion for an executive session and was successful. CAPITOL TOPICS. GETTYSBURG BATTLE FIELD. The Senate committee on military and mii at its meeting yesterday gave a hearing to Gov. Beaver of Pennsylvania and Gen. Bacheiler, the historian of the Gettysburg association, on the bill to mark the battle line of the Virginia troops at the battle of Gettysbutg. OUR COMMERCE WITH THE AMERICAS. The Secretary of the Treasury sent to the Senate today a statement in regard to com- merce between the United States and other foreign countries with Central and South | America and Mexico, This statement (a bulky volume) is a substitute for one transmitted to the Senate in December last, The Secretary suggests the advisability of passing the bill which was before the last two Congresses, in- tended to secure accurate statistics of exports by land vehicles, NOMINATIONS COMFIRMED.
