An interview with Sir Charles Russell Published today in the New York World on the proposed British legislation to give effect to the Bering sea award awakens interest among members of the foreign affairs committee of the House. Mr. McCreary, chairman of the commit- tee, thinks it indicates a disposition on the part of Great Britain to comply with the ideas of the United States as to what is necessary to give effect to the award. He looks upon Sir Charles Russell's inter- pretation of clause 7 bearing on the lia- the just what | ARMY OF BURGLARS Sensational Accounts of Their Deeds in Australia. DESPERATION OF THE UNEMPLOYED Told to Break Stone for a Living or Starve. GENERAL FOREIGN MATTERS VANCOUVER, B. C., April 11.—The latest files of the Australian papers received by the Arawa contain little else than sensa- tional accounts of burglaries and Jabor troubles. In all the colonies the burglars have organized themselves into a standing | army, and at Sydney and Melbourne :hey have been making nightly sorties. In New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria last month 337 burglars were captured red- | handed and brought to justice. John Me- | Kay of Melbourne skot and killed a burglar } who broke into his store. Twenty-three | burglars were reported shot by house- holdegs. Th unemployed in South Australia and Victoria are becoming desperate. They ap- plied to Premier Patterson and Sir Geo. Dibbs in deputations over a thousand. Dibbs replied: “Don't come bothering me. I have kept you long enough. If you will not break stone for a living, then starve.” The deputation returned to the city and camped in the park. They were ordered | off, and on refusing to move on, over a hundred were put in prison. Adelaide has a madman of “Jack the Ripper’ breed, who successfully eludes the police. He seizes unprotected women and stabs them in the throat with a dagger. Hight women have been stabbed, but none fatally. The premiers of Australia have declined to entertain the proposition of the British | members of parliament to establish penny postage between Australia and gland. All the directors of the defunct building societies receatly ‘mprisoned in New Soath Wales ar2 to be liberated through the intercession of Sir John Abbott and rinety- nine members of the assembly. Floods are devastating some sections of | New South Wales. Among the places | pactially irundated are Casino, West Mait- land, Raymond, ‘Terrace and Demonzy. The damage to crops and roads is very heavy. The following ships were wrecked by recent sales in Australian waters: The schcener Grace Darling of Moreton Island, | a total loss, but the crew saved; the | steamer Electro of the North Co: Steam | Navigation Company, on Manning river | bar; the schooner ‘utterate, complete | wreck, at Byron bay. The Australian colonists ir Paraguay are | in a desperate condition. Many have writ- ten home pleading with their friends to | send them money to come back from a| place of desolation and death. The strong heve United themselves agninst the weak: | the women are insulted openly and many | cold-blooded tragedies have occurred. Those | who have money have banded themselves together and have driven the poor out of the settlement. Namcs are signed in news- papers in Australia to rrayers for help. ATTACKED THE PILGRIMS, Police Were Called Upon to Protect Them. VALENCIA, April 11.—The departure | from here last evening of the pilgrims for Rome was made the occasion of a de- monstraticn against them. A band of 400 riotous persons paraded the streets, cheer- ing for Garibaldi ana Italian unity, and shouting “Death to the pilgrims.” inaliy, the police charged the mob, and after a severe tussle succeeded in dispersing it. The pilgrims will, in future, be pro- tected by police while on their way to the railroad station, ——— SEVERN T. WALL DEAD. A Lending Maryland Lawye, prisoned During the War. BALTIMORE, April 11.—Mr. Severn Teackle Wallis, one of Maryland’s most | distinguished lawyers, died at 12:20 o'clock this morning, of Bright's disease. Mr. Wallis was born in Baltimore, Sep- tember 8, 1816. His parents were from the | eastern shore of Maryland and were de- scended from the earliest settlers of Mary. land and Virginia. In the autumn of 1s: he entered the office of William Wirt, in Baltimore, as a student of law. In 18i7, Mr. Wallis visited Spain, and in | 1849, he was sent to Madrid by the United | States government to examine the titie to ; the public lands in East Florida, as they were affected by royal patents made in the qeurse of the negotiations for the treaty of Mr. Wallis was in his early political life a whig. He became a democrat when the American or “know-nothing” party was organized, and cast his first democratic vote | for Buchanan for President. Mr. Ruchanan | | {| offered Mr. Wallis the district attorneyship in 1857, but it was declined. Mr. Wallis appeared in public life only occasionally in later years. His interest in Politics caused him to speak from the re- form platform when party spirit ran high, even though his frail health warned him to remain at home. On these occasions his thoughtful eloquence and his keen sarcasm were powerful weapons. He labored in 1859 for the freedom of the | ballot box, then controlled by the “know- nothing” party. After the attack on the sixth Massachusetts regiment on the 19th of April, 1861, in Baltimore, he was a speak- er at a mass meeting in Monument Square, | He was sent to the house of delegates and | took a leading part in the proceedings of | the Maryland legislature of that year at Frederick. Mr. Wallis was made chairman of the | committee on federal relations. He wrote | the memorable reports of the committee, | which took strong grounds against the war as well as the then prevalent doctrine | of military necessity. The legislature was suppressed by military force in September of that year, and Mr. Wallis was arrested, with many of its members and other prom. | inent citizens of the state, and was im- prisoned for more than fourteen months | in Forts Smith, Frye, Monroe, Lafs and Warren. No charge was made against him by the government, and having stead- |fastly insisted upon being either lawfully tried or discharged he was finally released in November, 1862, without conditions and Without having been informed of the cause of his arrest. He then returned to the} Practice of law at Baltimore. we AFTER THE The B. and 0.

In addition to being a wholesale burglar, “Jack the Slasher’ is also suspected of being a murderer. He is suspected of having killed C. H. Swift, the old soldier, in July last. Swift, as published at the ‘time of his murder, met his fate on the edge of the woods near Fort Myer, where he was struck on the head with a club and his dead body dragged down a ravine some distance in order to get it out of sight of persons on the road. At the time of the commission of this ful crime “Jack the Slasher’’ was somewhere in this city or within a short distance of the city limits. He had come here from his home in Virginia before that time, and his subsequent slashing at Fort Myer gives the authorities an idea that he was perhaps acquainted with that part of Alexandria county. Detective Burrows’ Investigation. During the investigation of the Swift murder Precinct Detective Georgetown took an active interest in the case and assisted in making one or more arrests. It was during this time that he learned something of the dead man’s last | companion. He w sons seated on a log not far from where the murder was committed, and with him short yellow man answering the de- n of “Jack the Slasher. the arrest of the slasher, as pub- lished at the time, he became very much frightened, and feared he was to be ex- ecuted. “I never killed anybody,” he repeated a number of times, and then’ when the slash- ing was discussed he made use of the re- “L didn't cut anybody. cinct detectives s ted some time ago that Taylor was pos the jnurderer of the old soldier, and endeavored to dis- cuss fair with him during his visits ways remained ame degree of for- acterized him dur- mute, and exhibi getfulness that has ing his incarceration.

James Sabine's Overdose of Morphia May Resnit Fatally. James Sabine, a clerk in the War Depart- ment, is probably dying at Emergency Hos- pital from the results of an overdose of morphine. The suicide theory has been ad- vanced, but by those closest to the unfortu- nate man is not believed. Dr. Drawbaugh, the first medical man to reach the victim, and the doctors at the hospital, discredit the theory. Mr. Sabine occupied a room at No. 1013 E street northwest. He has been indisposed for several days, but not showing up this forenoon, his room was entered. Sabine was unconscious, called, and, recognizing it at once as a case of morphine poisoning, hypodermicaily ad- ministered the proper antidotes, At the in- stance of Dr. Drawbaugh, Dr. Carter was called. The patient was readily responsive to treatment, and was removed to imergency Hospital. His respiration improved slight- ly, but only faint hope was entertained of his recovery. Dr. Drawbaugh told The Star reporter that he had examined the room in which the man was found, and saw none of the usual indications of sui- cide, The morphine bottle was empty, and on a table near the bed. He thought that Sabine had been drinking a little and had taken the morphine in order to brace up, and accidentally had taken too much. The brother of Mr. Sabine was immediately notified and is now at the hospital. He knew of no reason why his brother should have taken the dose ally. Mr. Sabine is fifty-seven years old and a native of Vermont. — SUDDENLY TAK ILL. Amai Smith, the Veteran Document Clerk of the Senate. Mr. Amzi Smith, the veteran document clerk of the Senate, was taken suddenly ill just before noon today, while sitting at his desk. He was seized with intense pain, and for some time was in quite a serious condl- tion. Dr. Tabor Johnson was telephoned for, and on his arrival in a short time ad- ministered relieving remedies to tient, who had been removed to a sofa in the Senate library, Later Dr. Johnson an- nounced that Mr. Smith was in no imme diate danger, but was suffering from a re- turn of an old trouble in the abdominal re- ion. past, but apprehended no serious resuit of the symptoms. Mr. Smith has been con- arge of the years, and is very highly regarded by Senators of both political parties and by all who have busi- ness at the Capitol. Sai 2h NOT COXEY'’S ADVANCE AGENT.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., April 11.—George E.

Keeling, also a member of the lodge, last night. At the time of the shooting a committee of the lodge was about to begin a consid- eration of certain differences between Root and Keeling, chiefly arising out alleged improper relations between Root ane M Keeling. ‘The char; inst Root wer made by Keelin in defen claimed that they were prompted by jes ousy.

The Coxey headquarters at Rechabite Hall were again occupied by the men who | accompanied Capt. Primrose eastward, and Citizen Redstone sat behind a table lit- tered with letters on the raised platform at the end of the apartment. “There is nothing new today,” he re- marked to the reporter. “The commonweal is advancing from the west on schedule time, and will reach here at the appointed |moment beyond any question, I have not yet made a selection of the place where the general rendezvous will occur. No, I do not know whether it will be on Senator Stewart's property at Chevy Chase or not. | Several advantageous sites have been offer- ed for the purpose, but the selection will not be made for some days yet. I have already a number of tents, sufficient to ac- commodate quite a great many men, and they will be put up as soon as the parties | begin to arrive and show their credentials. I would like to say that everything in the |way of supplies has been contributed by the friends of the movement, even to the banner on the front of this building, which | was given by the ladies. “Have you got that loaf of bread from the | White House yet?” asked the reporter. | No, not yet,”responded Citizen Redstone, h an intonation of sadness. “It is a pret- ty sad commentary on the conditions of civ- | iization in this country wien the President } of the United States won't give up a loaf of bread intended for a great commonweal representing the just demands of the mass- es of the people.” He paused a moment and then added, re- flectively: “I'd like to get it; I'm afraid it will get moidy up there at the White House.” The reporter sought to probe further and ascertain Citizen Redstone's reasons for supposing that any conditions existed at the Exétutive Mansion which would cause anything remaining there for any length of time to become moldy, but he preserved a j silence that would have met the approval of the Sphinx. The citizen said he expect- ed “General” Frye to reach Washington In & day or two, as mail for him was already beginning to arrive, and vouchsafed the further information that many organized labor bodies were going to send repnesenta- tives to join the commonweal when it reached the rendezvous. “And they will be supplied with return tickets,” he concluded with emphasis that was meaning. ——— APRIL SNOW AND SLEET. Washington Gets Its Share of a Wide- Renching Storm. Had yesterday been the first day of April instead of the 1th, the prediction of the weather bureau, issued at S a. m., that the succeeding twenty-four hours in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and North | Carolina would be fair, except showers on the coast in the evening; warmer, except stationary temperature near Hatteras, and cooler in the western portions today, with southerly winds, might have been consider- ed a witticism on the part of the forecast official and passed without comment. It would require a wide stretch of imagi- nation, however, to class the rain, hail, snow and sleet that has descended upon Washington and Washingtonians since yes- terday as “showers.” Even the most opti- |mistic resident is convinced that it is a |storm and a storm of unusual severity for April. The main storm center was located yesterday in Michigan, it having originated the day before in northern Missouri, and from thence moved to the lake region. That did not directly affect this part of the country, but from it there developed yes- terday morning, on the North Carolina ccast, what is known as a secondary storm. | Last evening it was central at the mouth of | the Chesapeake bay, but during the night it | journeyed northward and this morning, ha’ ing increased in force, was hovering over Atlantic City. It is accompanied by cold northeast winds with snow. ‘the snow had adyanced as far north as New York city this morning, where the temperature had fallen to 34 degrees and a northeast wind was moving along at the rate of thirty-six miles an hour. The maxi- mum reached during the night was forty | miles in Gotham, while sixty miles was re- | corded at Block Island. The rain and snow areas accompanying both storms covered the middle and south Atlantic states, the Ohioevalley and the lake region. This morn- | ing the storm in the lake region appears to | have filled up and disappeared, so that fair weather will probably soon prevail to the west of the Atlantic coast, and the storm that is central in New Jersey will move northeasterly and cause dangerous gales along the New England coast. It is expected that the local inclemency | will give way this afternoon to clear weath- er, and that tonight and tomorrow will be fair. The snow and sleet of yesterday and today appears unusually severe because of |the unseasonabie warm weather that pre- | Vailed during March, thereby making the contrast now greater, but in reality there is nothing at all remarkable in the state of |affairs, when compared with the month of April in past years. Very few of the fourth calendar months have come and gone, ac- cording to the records of the weather bu reau, without a snow squall of some chara ter visiting us, and instances are not at al uncommon when the feecy flakes have de- scended earthward in the merry month of May. Telegrams from Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and other states state that the storm is raging tn those localities with great severity, and it is thought that fruit buds and early vegetables have been de- stroyed in vast quantities, —_—>_—_. COREAN PLOTTERS EXPOSED. Conspiracy Against the King Recently Discovered. VICTORIA, B. C., April 11.—A singular story of political intrigue and revenge is brought by the steamship Empress of Ja- The closing scene, a bloody one, was enac’ ed just before the vessel left Japan on March 30, and international coniplications may possibly result. For months past the government of Coree has been living under the shadow of a plot menacing continually the life of the king and his ministers. | Within the last few months a conspiracy | of some twenty-seven persons, belonging | to the Kin Cla, the family late in power, was exposed, and a majority of the con- | Spirators were arrested before their plans | could be matured and brought into execu- tion, The design was to fire the palace on | the first day of the Chinese new ye reary 6, and during the confusion ensuing | kill the king and proclaim one of their own clan king. . | VENGEA OF ANARCHISTS, A Bomb Exploded in Front of a Judge's Home, PARIS, April 11.—A bomb was exploded | today In front of the house of the Juge de Paix at Argenteuil near Versa | The building was considerably by the explosion, which was undoubtedly | | due to vengeance upon the part of an- ) archists. | The judge has recently received a num- ber of menacing letters, and is supposed to have excited the animosity of the anar- chists by the active manner in which he has been proceeding against them. ——— FALL OF AN ELEVATOR.

Mrs. Sophia Waters, an aged colored worran, met a violent death in her room at No. 2113 M street about 2 o'clock this aftertcon. Mrs. Waters was seventy-five years old, so her neighbors say, and she | occupied a room on the second floor of the house mentioned. A policeman passing the house this afternoon noticed smoke com- ing from the house, and he called out truck | B company to extinguish the fire. A neigh- bor, who rushed into the room to see to the old woman's safety, discovered her dead body on the floor.in front of the stove. Her clothes had burned from her body, and her back and chest were badly charred. The flames had also burned a hole through the floor. It took the firemen but a short time to extinguish the flames before much | damage was done to the house. The deceased, it is thought, was lighting jher pipe, when the blaze touched her dress |and resulted fatally. She had no reiatives jhere, so it is said, nor had she any means jof support. Mr. George W. Moss of Ad- jams Express Company has been looking out for her this winter, and he was notified by the police of her sad death. ——— The President WI Allow the Senate to Act on Taylor. It has been suggested to the President | that it would be an act of friendship to | Mr. C. H. J. Taylor of Kansas to withdraw | his nomination as recorder of deeds of the | District of Columbia, und by so doing avoid the humiliation that will naturally attend | the rejection of the nomination by an over- whelming vote of the Senate. Although the President ts satisfied, so it is said, that Taylor stands practically no charce of con- firmation, he is reported to have decided not to interfere in the matter at this stage and to allow the question at issue—home |Tule In the District—to be again put to the test in the Senate. Mr. Taylor was strongly indorsed for the recordership by citizens of Kansas and other states, but is said to jbe remarkably weak in backing by the (only persons directly interested—residents of the District of Columbia. RIED ce A REET Sr CAPITOL TOPICS, To Repeal the State Bank Tax. The Brawley bill, to which the amend- |ment for the repeal of the state bank tax is to be offered in accordance with the ac+ tion of the caucus, has be favorably acted upon by the committee on banking |and currency, but has not yet been reported |to the House. Reports from the banking jand currency committee are privileged un- der the rule, but if they go to the calendar | they lose their privileged character. Mr. Springer, chairman of the committee, is therefore holding the report, and will not make it until the House is ready to proceed to its consideration. |, It is not the intention of the democratic leaders to displace the appropriation bills in order to do this. The House will proceed with these bills, and when they are disposed of the Brawley bili will be called up, and the state bank tax repeal amendment will be offered, probably by Mr. Culberson of Texas, author of the caucus resolution. Soldiers’ Homes. Senator Mitchell cf Wisconsin has intro- | duced an amendment to the sundry civil | appropriation bill, the purp-se of which | 8 to prescribe the detatis of the manage- ment of soldiers’ homes and to prevent any charges in that respect which ‘might be made under the bil! 2s passed by the House. The amendmert provides an ap. propriation of $575,000 for these institu- tions throughout the country. Gov. Tillman and the Telegraph, | Representative Grosvenor’s resolution in- | quiring into the alleged interference with the telegraph was considered by the House interstate and foreign commerce committee today and referred to a subcommittee, ' A New Banking Hin Representative Sperry of Connecticut in- | troduced in the House today a bill to es- | tablish a bureau of Interstate banks. The | dill is a modification in some important respects of the national banking act, and is designed to meet the demand for a local currency in the south and west by afford- ing a more profitable and accessible basis of circulation than United States bonds. Improvement of the Missouri. An amendment to the sundry civil ap- propriation bill, intended to be proposed by Senator Manderson, was introduced in the Senate today by him, making an appro- priation of $250,000 to protect the channel of the Missouri river adjacent to Council bluffs, Iowa, and Omaha, Neb, | Immigrath Laws. Senator Chandler today presented in the Senate an amendment to the sundry civil appropriation bill, intended to be proposed by him, making an appropriation of $300,000 for the enforcement of the immigration and alien contract labor laws, | The amendment also proposes to change the title of the superintendent of immigra- to that of commissioner general of ation, and he, in addition to his other dutie is to be charged with the execution of the alien contract labor laws, The amendment further provides that alien passeng ion with immigration id into the treasur: | | | Senate Committee nes. | Senator Vilas was today made chairman | of the Senate committee on post offices and | post roads, of which he has been the senior | democratic member since the death of Sen- |ator Colquitt, the former chairman. The new Senator from Georgia, Mr. Walsh, was assigned to the select committee on the quadro-centennial, of which Mr. Vilas was formerly chairman. Mr. J. F. Wood, clerk to the centennial committee, becomes clerk to the committee on post offices and post roads, while Mr. Henry Jones goes from the latter committee to become clerk to the committee on quadro-centennial. These changes were announced in the Senate this afternoon, It was expected by the police that Chas. Beveridge, one of the men charged with ance in court, but this afternoon his coun- sel’stated that the question of bail had not yet been settled, and until that is done he will not surrender.
