___ T plained. Warden Poter K. Soffett has au- thotized fts publication. It ia the allega- tion that his wife s responaible for the furnishing of the revolvers and saws to the Biddles which enabled them to escape, In her infatuation for the handsome desperado, Edward Biddle, it is alleged that whe has left her husband and her four chil- dren and, it I8 supposed, s to meet the oscaped convicts at a place agreed upon. The story of the matter s brief. Mrs Soffett was the only person admitted to the Jail since last Sunday. Yesterday after- noon she visited them during the warden's absence. Last evening she retired at 9 o'clock. 8he told her husband that ehe was going to visit a slster at McDonald and that she would retire early, so that she could get an early start. Warden Soffett |was about the jall untfl 12 o'clock. He iretired to his room, which is separate from {Mre. Soffett's, shortly before 1 o'clock. When he awoke this mornfng he asked for Mre. Soffett and was informed that eho was absent. Later, when the detalls of the escape became koown, he telephoned to MeDonald and was informed that Mrs. Sof- tett was not there. ! Warden Soffett immediately made a frank contessian of his susplcions, Intimacy Known for Weeks. \ It has been known for several weeks that Mrs. Soffett was taking an Interest in the Biddles and it Is sald that she frequently furnished them with dainties outside their usual prison fare. Tha =ounty commission- ers met this afternoon and offered a reward of $5,000 for the recapture of the murderers. A meeting of the prison board to investi- gate thelr escape will be hald this after- noos ‘The ruse of the Biddles was a clever one and was carrled out with great success, ‘They sawed out the bars of their cells, John cutting out” fhree In his. Edward, being a large man, found It necessary to cut out four. Nothipg suspiclous was noticed in the ections of the two prisoners, nor was any- thing wrong discovered when the day guards went off duty yesterday afternoon. The wmurderers evidently sawed the bars during the night, using what appears to have been soap to deaden the nolse and to reduce triction. . The escape Is as unparalleled as is thelr record for crime throughout this vicinity. The police all over the city are searching for the tugitives. ‘While it is not thought they have gone far, the shrewdness of the two criminals is such that the police have A hard problem to solve In thelr recapture. The two guards injured will probably re- tover, The bullet wound sustalned by Reynolds 1s not regarded as dangerous.

Governor Stone's Female Caller. HARRISBURG, Pa., Jan. 30.—A mysteri- >us woman recently called upon Governor Stone and pleaded with him to pardon the Blddle brothers, who escaped today. from the Pittsbyrg jall. The woman was about 12' years old, dressed (n the height of hion, and made a special requést of the fovernor not to disclose her name. The txecutive declined to pardon the brothers, but granted a‘respite that their case might be heard by the: board of pardons on Wednesday next on an application for a sommutation of sentence to life imprigon- ment. .

Without the certificate of origin the duty shall be imposed except in cases of no doubt that:the goods were made In a country entitled to lower rates. The committee ndopted the first section of paragraph 8, which is as follows: “Dutlable goods from any country treat- Ihg German ships and German goods less favorably than it treats those of other states may be subjected, besides the regular duty, to double rates. Goods not subfect to duty can be taxed half their Count Von Schwerin-Loewltz, conserva- tive, offered an amendment empowering the government to treat the goods Imported from forelgn countries with the same dutlos and the same customs regulatious that such countries apply to German/goods, fnsofar as the treatles would permit of such action. Dutles Against Unfon Too Low. Herr Beaumor sald that German duties, especlally against’ the United States, were too low. Baron Heyl Zu Herrenshelm, Iiberal, complained of the heavy trade bal- an agalnst Germany in the American trade. He said that German exports to the United States had remained stationary since 1893, while Germany's imports from that country had Increased from 402,000,000 marks to 1,003,000,000 marks. He submitted comparative tables of the dutles collected by Germany and the United States, purport- 10g to show that American duties on twen- ty-two staple lines ranged from 11 per cent on sole leather to 2,000 per cent on writing machines higher than the duties collected by Germany. ¢ Other examples cited by Baron Heyl Zu Herrenshelm were bleycles, on which he sald the American duty was 380 per cent higher than that collected by Germany; sewing machines, on which the American duty was from 100 to 180 per cent higher; furniture, 260 per cent higher, and tobacco leaf, 1,932 per cent highet. The speaker protested that he did not de- sire a tarift war, “But,’ 1d Herr Gothein, “‘these amend- ments provoke a tariff war. The Increase In our imports from the United Statés Is duo to our demands for raw products, like copper, which our electrical Industry re- auires.” The vote on Von Schwerin-Loewits's amendment was postponed.

In the meanwhile the Associated Press is able to confirm the statement that the gov- ernment of the Netherlands suggested granting a safe conduct to a Dutch commis- sion, to be appointed for the purpose of conferring with the fighting Boers and en- lightening them as to the real position of aftairs. K WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Nothing |Is known at the State department of th'e re- ported overtyres for peace In South Africa which are now under discussion in England and Holland. It Is learned that for some time past unoficial Inquiries have reached the department as to the part the United States might play in restoring peace, but these have never come from any properly au- thorlzed persons and are belleved to have emanated principally from Boer agents. FIST FIGHT IN THE CHAMBER ers Are Waged Be- ts and Catholles Brussells. BRUSSELS, Jap. 80.—The Chamber of Deputies here was the scene of a free fight today between the soclalist and Catholic tactions. The trouble grew out of a pro- posal to prosecute M. Smeets, & soclalist, for a recent revolutionary speoch. The disorder began in the galleries, which were eventually cleared by force. Thereafter the uproar was continued on the floor. The soclalists advanced in a body agalnst the benches of the Catholics, shouting taunts and epithets. The Deputies finally en- gaged Jn fisticulfs and the sitting was sus- pended. When the session was resumed the disturbance recommenced and pre- vented the transaction of business.

To this Mr. Tillman objected, because of the interruption, and he re- Quested that those so engaged retire to the cloak rooms. For once he was; he sald, making a speech for home consumption.

Mr. Lacey of lowa,.the author of the bill, urged the importance of proper venti- lation of coal mines. He offered an amend- | ment providing that the managers of coal | mines should employ spot firers to fire sherts thereln. While the bill was heing discussed something of a stir was caused | by the appearance of officers and marines | of the German cruiser Moltke, who marched into the publie gallery in uniform and ac- coutred with their side arms. The con- fusidn was so pronounced that the speaker was obliged to call the house to order. The Lacey amendment was adopted and the bill was paseed. Mr. Mopkins, chatrman of the census | committee, which reported the bill m‘ make the census bureau permauent, took the floor and explained its provisions. Ie #ald (hat the committee In the preparation of the bill had endeavored to meet the de- mand of the house, as evidenced when the bill was before the house ten days ago. Mr. Kluttz of North Carolina advocated the passage of the bill, urging the provision for the annual collection of cstton statis- ties as an especlal reason why the bill should commend itself to members from cotton growing states, Under the latitude allowed for debate Mr. Thayer of Massachusetts presented a petition signed by 1,200 business men of Worcester, Mass., in favor of reciprocity with Canad; Mr. Maddox of Georgla interrupted Mr. Hopkins to express the opinion that the proposed collection of annual statistics upon cotton under the bill was in the In- terest of the speculators. “I am sorry to hear a gentleman from the south expross such an oplnion,” observed Mr. Hopkins. “The collection of these statlstics will be for the benefit of the planter, manufacturer and laborer." reference to the civil service provision of the bill, Mr. Ball asked if Mr. Hopkins would accept an amendment to provide that clerks eligible to transfer or retention un- der the bill should be apportioned under the state according to population. Mr. Hopkins replied that such an amend- ment was unnecessary and alluded to the well known clvil service record of the pres- ldent as a guaranty that justice and fair dealing would prevall. An amendment was adopted that all employes of the censys bureau should be citizens of the United States. Several lundred employes of the census bureau who were in the gallery applauded the announcement that the bill had passed. At 5:05 p. m. the house adjonrned.

GOOD PROSPECTS OF PEACE General Citlook for Pacification in Prilippines More Favarable Than Ever, MANILA, Jan, 30.—The general outlook for pacification in the archipelago every- where, outside of the islaind of Samar, has never been more favorable since the orig- Inal outbreak of the Filipino Insurrection than at the present time. The Insurgents have been broken up into small bands and are, everywhere fleeing for gshelter. They surrender daily, are captured or are killed. The policy of reconcentration and the stern measure of closing the ports to com- merce have accomplished everything ex- pected of them. General Chaffee still hopes that by the énd of February the leland of Samar alone will remain not pacified. Those provinces bordering on the prov- Inces of Batangas and Laguna, In southern Lugon, have been patrolled by the native constabulary, who bave done excellent work and who have recelved the commend. ation of General J. Franklin Bell, com- manding in those provinces. ators present. “I would ask the majority in this cham- ber,”” he sald, “if in trying to force the Fillpinos to accept our government with- out a promise they are not inviting the ex- asperation of the natives and a spirit of perpetual insurrection?" The . effort to treat the Filipinos as ‘“chattels—cattle,”” he declared, damn- able and he gharged the majority side with being the real murderers of our troops in the Philippines. Hoar Denounces the Order, Commenting on the sedition laws pro- mulgated by the republicans, Mr, T{llman inquired of Mr. Hoar whether tbe Spring. fleld Republican, which, he said, was op- posed to the republican imperialistic pol- fcy, under those laws, would be permitted to be circuiated in the Philippines. ““While I decline to enter upon any dis. cussion of Massachusetts newspapers,” 1d Mr. Hoar, “I will say to the senator If he wants to know my opinion of the commis- slon order, that I think it Is an abomina- ble order.” In conclusion Mr. Tillman said the pend- ing Philippine tariff blll as a proposition to erect a tarift wall between the United States and another part of the domestic territory was a departure from every prin- ciple that had brought this country to the pinnaele of greatness and made it the cynosure of the eyes of the world as the home of the free and the brave. The senate at 5 p. m. adjourned.

The dimensions’ will' be 100 by 260 feét. To se- cure this ®pate clehr required the removal of four briek bufldings and a metwork of tracks. “'Two of the bulldings, the twenty- stall engite rotindhotise and the sand Wouse, have ‘alteady béén ripped odt.
