A True-Blue Republican and | in Accord With the Ad- ministration. Blackburn Vigorously Assalls the Men Who Caused His Defeat. FRANKFORT, Kv., April 28.—Willism J. Deboe was to-day elected Senator to succeed Senator J. C. Blackburn, after one of the most famous political battles in the history of Kentucky. Deboe supported Hunter in 189 for Senator. Last Friday night the friends of Hunter nominated Deboe in caucus. The fight has been one in which 112 ballots have been taken, sixty of which were taken during the pres- ent session. Hunter was forced off the track by the | exposure of his silver letter and by indict- | ments for alleed attempts to bribe. | Seventeen sound-money Democrats bolted | | Biackburn and made his election impos- | sible. | 1t was a foregone conclusion that Deboe | would be elected to-day. The session was | attended by a large crowd of politicians, | Deboe received 71 votes—69 Republicans | and 2 gold Democrats—one more than suf- | | ficient to elect. Deboe himself was a | member of the Senate, but did not vote. Deboe said to-night: | “I belong to the school of Republicans | atter Blaine, McKinley and Sherman. I| am a protectionist, favor the passage of | the tariff bill and am for sound money. I | am in thorough accord with the Republi- can administration at Washington.” Deboe is 47 years old and a native of Crittenden County, his present home. He is a graduate of medicine and bas prac- ticed law successfully for the past nine years. Blackburn spoke to his followers at the opera-house to-night. In speaking of sound-money Democrats he called them political nondescripts and caricatures on nature. “God Aimighty, in fair-dealing, owes the people an apology for making such men as sound-money Democrats,”’ | he said. The sound-money Democrats arose and left. i | HER MAJESTY'S THEATER OPENS. | Inauguration of London’s Most Brilliant Season Marred by a Bad Ode and a Worse Flay.

Three Towns Partially Destroyed ard Three Lives Lost by the Mad Rush of Waters. CITY OF MEXICO, Mex, April 28— The towns of Santa Clara, Cuautitlan and Pedro Jalostoc, about one mile apart snd situated five miles north of the suburban town of Guadaloupe, were partly de- stroyed by a waterspout about 5 o'clock on Monday evening. Theee lives were lost so far as known. An immense voi- ume of water swept through the vill tearing up giant trees by the roots, lev eling houses, forcing out huge bowlders | from the ground and leaving everything devastated in its wake. At50o'clock a small black speck was in the horiz Its heavy shade | soon enveloved everything in darkness | and deaf-ning thunderbolts soon began to Rain and bail becan to fall in torrents. Water fully eight feet deep rushed through the streets at a fear lociiy, tearing down houses and ich onry wallsy opening the ground and ausing great destruction. Nearly all the inbabitants escaped death by seeking ref- | | season ever known in London. Everybody | of prominence in the diplomatic, social | and dramatic world was included in what | was perhaps the most distinguished | audience ever assembled in a playhouse. | This spiendid theater, which Beerbohm | Tree has erected, is the finest in England. The building is in style French renais- | sance, and is one of the best architectural | ornaments of London. The interior is| beautifully decorated in the style of the period of the regency apd of Louis XV. Tree and bis company were received with immense enthusiasm. Mrs. Tree | recited an ode written by Aifred Austin, | poet iaureate, which was no worse, per- | haps, than some of his other efforts, | After this, the national anther was sung, in which aimost everybody present joined. | Then Gilbert Parker’s dramatized version of “‘Seats of the Mighty’’ was produced | for the first time in London.

Perilous Fire in Brooklyn, ot Which Two Children Were Dropped to Ther | Death. I NEW YORK, N. Y., April 28.—Four | | persons were kilied in a fire early this | morning in the four-story flat building at | 1278 Third avenue, Brooklyn. The dead | are: Mrs, Celia Brunett, widow, 56; Mrs. | Carrie Newell, 37; John Newell, 7; Lewis | Newell, 18. There is a strong suspicion that the fire was of incendiary origin, and that it was i started in the lower hallway near the | matn entrance, as well as at tte foot of the | | elevator shaft. to cut off the flight of the occupants. Mrs. Brunett lived in the flat over the store. All avenues of escape were cut off, and she perished before the fire- men reached her. The top floor was occupied by John Newell, his wife and two children. He occupied the bedroom in front and his wife and the children slept in a rear room. Newell could make no sttempt to reach his wife and children, He escaped by hanzing to the coping till rescued. His wiie was ai the front window on tne other side of tie building with ihe youngest child in ber arms and the other by her side. Sbe was about to throw the | children into the street when the firemen implored her to wait until a blanket could be vrocured. While the fireman beld the blanket under the window she | dropped the children. Both feil several feet beyond the heads of the firemen and, | striking the sidewalk, were killed almost instantly. The mother, directly after | dropping the children, fell back into the | room. Her charred body was found ater the fire was extinguished. e | THE HAWAIIAN TREATY. Sonator Perkins, Whie Mcking Up His Mind, Seems Inclined to Vote for Recipracity. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 28.—There are indications that the tremendous pres- sure brought to bear upon Senator Perkins may cause him to revise his opinions of & week ago concerning the Hawaiian treaty. At that time he d tnat be was in favor of the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty ‘“becaunse it did not reciprocate.” He pre an anay of figures to show that it was jug-bandled in its benefits, but to-day Senator Perkivs said he had not made up his mind whether to vote for the continuance of the treaty orits abrogation. “But was not your position correctly outlined in THE CALL & week ago?" “Yes,” said Mr. Perkins, “the article | was correct. My own personal conviction is that the treaty is of advantage to Ha- without much benefit to the United States; yet a majority of the people of California, as expressed by a very large number of_memorials and petitions from BEECHAM'S PILLS ior Siomach ana Liver lls .| and other commercial bodies in San Fran- Boards of Trade, Chambers of Commerce | to the L uge in tne hills.

Democratic Members of the Finance Committee So Declare. v First Skirmish Between the Oppos= Ing Forces Is Looked For To-Day. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 25.—The first skirmish in the Senate for the next two or three months will probably take place to-morrow. A meeting of the full Finance Committee will be held, and the tariff bill so far as it has been revised by the four sub-committesmen will be sub- mitted. The billis practically completed, but it is not likeiy that it can be reported by the full committee in completed form belore Monday. The Republicans have been notified tha! the Democrats feel it incumbent upon them as members of the opposite political party to oppose revort- | ing such an important measure to the Sen- ate until they shall have had full oppor- nine apd study it.

C., April 28.—In- formation has been given the Treasury Department that 300 more Chinese are on their way to San Francisco from their | own country and will ciairm: the right to enter as_engaged for the Chinese exhibit | at the Nashville exposition. Thisis the third contingent of Chinese boupd osten- sibly for the same place, and the Treasury officials susvect that a wholesale attempt is being made to import large numbers of Mongolians into the States tbrough the broad provisions of the joint resolation of Congress. Therefore it has been decided, alter a conference, that the total number admitted sball not exceed 250, As 179 bave elready obtained entrauce, only 71 otbers can possibly come in by legal means.

Lately, however, Jones has been urged to make & fight upon the Republi- can measure 2s a feature of party policy, and be has therefore joined with White in serving notice that the dill must take the usual course to the Senate through the committee. The four Republican Senators who have revised the bill have maintained the ut- most secrecy as to changes and have done this largely for the purpose of protecting themselves against the pressure of outside influence. It is largely for this reason that they desire to avoid baving the bill subjected to the scrutiny and criticism of Democratic members ol the commistee, and possibly to amendment and revision. They are still hopeful of prevailing upon the Democratic Senators to allow them to bring the bill into the Senate asa party measure for which the Repubiicans alone are responsible, and it is possiole that by showing the members of the full commit- tee a rough draft of the proposed bill to- morrow they may be induced to withhold | their opposition until the measure is re- ported to the Senate. The election of a Republican Senater in Kentucky would materially assisi the Re- publicans in their efforts to pass vhe bill, | but the fight is not likely to be on strictly Republican and anti-Republican lines. Indeed, the Republican Senators of the Finance Commitiee are apparently more solicitous about the support of some radi- cal memhers of their party than ine probable course of the siiver Republicans and Populists. There is authority for the | statement that the revised biil provides for a material reduction of the D.neley rates. This leads the Republicans to hope that the opposition will be less formida- ble than originally anticipated. As the Damocrats, however, have decided to op- pose it from start to finisn, the bill is lik-ly to be before the Senate for at least three months, ot S SENATOR WRITKS POSITION. Says He Does Not Want to See the Xi Rob the W WASHINGTON, D. G., April 28.—Sena- tor White said 10 THE CALL correspondent to-night that he considered it a gross discourtesy on the part of the Finance Committee to even propose to report the tariff bili to the Senate without first sub- mitting it to the minority, BSenator White said that thus far the members of the minority had not been given even an inkling of its features. He was in the dark as to the tar.ff on California fruits and owber products, but he had been as- sured by Senator Jones of Nevada that that gentleman would not vote to report the bill to the Senate unless it was sob- mitted to the minority for their consid- eration. The committee stands five to five, and as Senator Jones holds the balance of power it is settled that the minority will be allowed to consider the bill before it is reported. In explaining his position Mr. White said thst while he did not cou tariff bill a revenue measure at radical protective bill, to which he wasy opposed on general principles, yet he did flo[l propose to see California left out in ihe cold. He did not want to see the East rob the ‘West of any benefits that any such meas- ure might bestow. The Witharawals of Gold. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 28 —The withdrawals of gold for export are not disturbing the treasury officials, who say there is no aanger of a raid on the treas- ury.

The Disappearance of the Banker Is Fol- lowsd by a Wholesale Financial Wreck at Leda. CHICAGO, Iii., April 28.—*It isdis- &race and the penitentiary or the lake, and I have chosen the latter,”” wrote John Sheldon, banker, of Loda, .1, to his con- fidential friend and attorney, John Moffett of Paxton. The receipt of the letter was followea by the closing of the bank in Loda, the assignment of four leading busi- ness firms and the indiyidual assignments of anumberof leading citizens of the town. Sheldon’s money troubles involve fands belonging to the school trustees and to trust estates valued at a quarter of & mil- lion dollars. A systematic police search failed to reveal wuether Sheldon has drowned himseif or not. The general ba- lief is that his body is in the lake. The wreck was precipitated by a demand of the heirs of the Sheldon estate here for $30,000 realized a year ago, and their re- quest for a final accounting for approxi- mately $130,000. Sheldon was unablie to meet the demand last Friday with a hand- bag fuil of securities, which he tried un- successfully to dispose of here. He then wrote a twenty-page letter to his confi- dential friend, teiling him he would take his life by jumpinz into Lake Micnigan. —_——— Southern Pussenger Association. WASHINGTON, D.

Frank J. Murasky Explains the Doe- trine of the Cathoiic Church to Phil Sheridan Council, ¥, M. L There was a large audience in Mission Opera Hall last evening on the occasion of the lecture and entertainment given by the Central Lecture Bureau. under the auspices of Phil Sheridan Council No. 72, | Y. . L Henry Pinkhem, president of the coun- cil, delivered a snort address explanatory of the organization. The Misses Celia and Annie Tighe gave 8 piano duet, after which Miss Mary C. Spillane rendered s sovrano solo with fine effect. Frank J. Murasky, the lecturer of the evening, was then introduced and spoke for some time on ‘Cathoiicism and So- ciety.” He told of the early history of the world and dwelt upon the founding of | the Catholic church, which was a new re- ligion, having for its doctrine, “Do unto others as you would have others do uuto you.” e spoke of the manner in which the new religion was carried into every quarter of the globe and filled it with the nght of a new hepe. He then told of the work of the church in abolishing slavery, not, he said, at one tell blow, but by con" stant preaching and azitation and telling those who were in power that they had no right to hold either the souls or bodies of men. He dweit upon the missionary work of the Catholic church in every direction, ana said that its missionaries are ready to tend the call if there is need. Benevolence as practiced by the Catho- lic chureh to-day, he said, was uoknown to the ancient Romans and Greeks. Then it was victory over the conquered, with benevolence or cherity, or sympathy, for the unfortunate; but now, thanks to the teaching of the church, sympathy goes out for the oppressed Armenians, for the Greeks 1 their misfortunes, for the Cu- bans 1n their great struggle, and he added that in its work of benevolence Cathohie church is moving onward and that no power on earth can stop it in that work. He then spoke of the duty of society in assisting to spread the doctrine of the cburch and make its infiuence for good felt on all sides. The lecturer was warmly applauded, and after he retired:there was a vocal trio by Mr. and Mrs. Richard Valerga and Charles H. Parish, and a bass solo by John A. McAuliffe. Tle committee of arrange- ments were: P. J. Whalen, E. D. Sullivan, . J. Haggerty, J. C. O'Donnell and J, E Galiagher. DROVE OVER THE DESERT. The Gold Finds of D. T.

Took the Funds of the State to Satisfy the Claim of a Bank. Also Allowed an lliegal Rate of In=- terest—His Shortage About Half a Mililon. OMAHA, Nesr, April 28.—The retiring State Treasurer, Joseph Bartley, was ar- rested to-aay by the Sheriff of thiscounty, charzed with embezzling $201,000, the praceeds of a State warrant which he sold to the Chemical National Bank of New York while he was Treasurer. 1t was ne- gotiated through the Omaha National Bank. The Attorney-General swore to the complaint. Bartley is at present out on bonds for a shortage of $3500,000 in State funds. The proceeds were transierred to Bartley, upon whose books, however, no account of the receipt of the money has been found. In time the Chemical National Bank re- turned the warrant to the Omaha Na- tional Bank of this city for collection. In Tesponse to-this call the State Treasurer proceeded to deposit State funds in the Omzha National Bank until the sum of $201,000 was on deposit. This was the amouat of the warrant, together with interest at the rate of 7 per cent. With this money the warrant was duly taken up and the accruing interest was paid. When the warrant was collected by the New York bunk throuzh the local banx it was paid by check, to which Bariley signed his own name. The $201,000 was therefore on deposit in his name, al- though it is alleged to have been State money. In connection with the case Bartley is accused of having allowed an illegal rate of interest on the warrant. According to the State law warrants cannot draw more than 5 per cent interest, but the Chemical National Bank collected 7 per cent for the entire time it advanced the money on the Bartley will be arraigned at Omana.
