And Now the New York Police Will Capture the Assassin Upon | His Arrival. | NEW ORLE ~Chief of Po- | lice Gaster telegraph y to the police authorities of New York to arre Washington, Jan. 30. The Senate proceedings for the week will open with a speech by Senator Pet- | tigrew, dealing with the question, which will be delive da ficult to forecast the outlook for the week. The diversion occasioned by tak- ing up the Teller bond resolution has left the Senate in a somewhat disor- ganized and unsettled condition, and with no pre-arranged programme. S ator Pettigrew’s speech will be made during the morning hour, and the prob- abilities are now that at its conclusion, or at least at 2 o’clock, one of the gen- eral appropriation bills will be called up. The army and the legislative ap- propriation bills are already on the cal- endar, and the consideration of the agricultural bill has been completed by the committee, so that it will be reached on Monday. The probability is that the army bill will be the first of these mea- sures to receive consideration, though there is some disposition to displace it with the legisiative bill. Senator Alli- son, chairman of the Committee on Ap- propriations, sald to-day that it was his purpose to have the appropriation bills considered in advance of other | measures, and if he adheres to this de- | termi the week may be largely taken up with them. seen now, re are few features in the bills already reported calculated to | arouse discussion. There is a feeling in certain quarters that the army bill should be amended by a-provision for the increase of the army, and if such a change should be attempted it would > to very spirited debate. r w of all the possibilities for debate and delay involved in these seri- ous measur it seems quite improb- able that the Hawaiian treaty will r much attention, at least in exec- ceiv ion, during the week. Still, Sena )avis, Chairman of the Com- mittee on Foreign Relations, an- it to be his purpose to move an 2 8 ion for the consideration of the treat sible that pressur on Monday; but it is pos- may be influenced by rom Senators who have other T u requiring immediate atten- tion to postpone this motion for a few days. He does not, however, admit such a probability. There is a growing impression that the friends of the treaty feel that their safest course is in delay, and this is the explanation of the tactics so far observed with refer- ence to it. There is llent founda- tion for this surmise. They have made a very thorough canvass of the Senate and have not been able to discover where they can get more than fifty eight votes, to_ratify the treaty they to have sixty. They feel that even some of these fifty- eight are not entirely reliable. In view of these circumstances they realize that nothing is to be lost by an informal postponement, especially when it comes naturally through the pressure of pther busin rything is to be gained by that s-the Hawailan ques s will have a tendency to take the direction of the ratification resolu- tion out of the hands of the Foreign Relations Committee, and it may prove to be the opening wedge to a dis ion of the whole subject in open session. His resolytion declares it to be con- trary to the traditions of this country to acquire any territory so situated as to require a navy to protect it. This is a basis broad enough for the dis- cussion of the whole subject, and it is understood to be Pettigre imention to enter very fully into the question of the condition of affairs in Hawali. He will deal with Mr. Dol visit, and will undertake to show that that gentle- man was never elected President; that he Constitution of.the present Gov- ernment of Hawali was never submit- ted to the people of that country, and that, in fact, the whole Government is irregular. It is possible the objection be made to discussion of such sub- jects in open session in view of the pen- dency of the treaty, and Pettigrew not allowed to proceed except behind closed doors It is the intention of the House lead- ers to offset as far as possible the ac- tion of the Senate in passing the Tel- ler resolution by killlng that declara- tion of the sense of Congress, regarding the payment of the Government's coin bonds in silver, on a nay and aye vote n in open Hawailan | >:d Mon- | Beyond this speech it is very dif- | So far as ean be | , and some of them believe that | | Vincenzo Azarello, J.

MEANS LESS PAY - FOR THEIR BEETS Hawaiian Annexation Would Be Disastrous to Nebraska Farmers. Sugar Manufacturers Will Be Com- pelled to Cut Rates If the Treaty Is Adopted. L e D T T Special Dispatch to The Call. OMAHA, Jan. 30.—~The manufacturers of beet sugar in Nebraska have a serious quarrel on their hands with the producers of sugar beets in the State. All the con- tracts of the company this year have a clause Inserted to the effect that if the Hawallan annexation bill becomes a law the producers of beets shall be paid but $3 50 a ton, otherwise the price paid last year (34 a ton) shall prevail. The farmers refuse to sign these contracts, and the Beet Ralsers’ Association has officially declared that no sugar beets shall be raised in the State this year. This means, of course, unless the Oxnards, who own the four big factories in the State, agree to pay the straight price of $1 a ton. The Oxnards have declared that if these con- | tracts are not accepted, but one of their factories will be operated in the State this year. This becomes a_serious question in Ne- braska, for 5000 farmers are engaged in the production of Sugar beets, the rev- enue from that source alone being over $10,000,000, while incidentally it affects sev- eral thousand other Nebraska families who secure employment in the factories and the Incidental industries. The owners | of the factories declare that they are willing te do what they can, but that the admission of the Hawaiian sugar free in the ports of the United States will make this difference of 50 cents to them, and they cannot afford to pay the old price for beets. The question has caused much discus- sion in the State, as one of the chief in- dustries of Nebraska is menaged. Farm- ers declare that they cannot afford to raise beets for less than $4 a ton. s Ironworkers May Strike. BELLAIRE, O., Jan. 30.—It is thought that a big strike may be looked for at the Wheeling Iron and Steel Company's works at Benwood, W. Va. The company last week gave its employes notice of a reduction ot from 10 to 30 per cent in Wi after Febiuary 1. The employes :‘t he plate mill went out on strike last Y. afternoon the mill men met and rejected the proposed new scale.

Five Officers and Fifteen York- shiremen Killed in the Combat. MANY OTHERS MISSING. Disastrous Attempt to Turn Back a Party of Natives Driving a Band of Cattle. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. CALCUTTA, Jan. 30.—General West- | macott telegraphs from Camp Mam- mami that the Fourth Brigade became engaged in a gorge near Shinkumar yesterday and suffered serious losses. Houghtons, Lieu- tenants Sweing, Dowdall, Hughes and ‘Walker, together with fifteen men of the Yorkshire light infantry and three Sikhs, were killed: Major Earle, Lieu- tenant Hall, thirty-one men of the Yorkshires and two Sikhs wounded, Major Earle severely; and twelve Yorkshires are missing, including one | who was wounded and captured by the enemy. It appears that a combined move- ment was planned to cut off the retreat of a number of Afridis who had been driving their cattle to graze on the Kajural plain, west of Bara Fort. Two columns marched from All Musjid and Jamrud to block the way north; a third column from Bara marched west- ward over the plain toward the hills; while a fourth, consisting of Sikhs, ad- vanced from Mammami with a view of | getting to the rear of the Afridis and preventing their escape toward Bara- villey. The first three columns performed their allotted movements without loss, meeting with very few of the enemy. The fourth, under Colonel T. N. Sep- pings, left Mammami early Saturday morning. The leading troops reached Shinkumar-Kotila at 10:30 o’clock, finding no opposition. Colone! Hough- ton, with the Sikhs, proceeded about a mile to scarch the caves. On_the arrival of the main body at the Kotal it was discovered that a company «f Siklis had som_-how beer, withdrawn from the high ridge on the west, the key of the position, which the enemy forthwith occupied. To re- take this involved heavy losses. Lieu- tenant Dowdall was killed while charg- ing at the north of the pass. About midday the troops began to return to the camp, the enemy harassing the rear guard and left and causing many casualties. The rear column cleared the pass about 5 o'clock with the as- sistance of General Westmacott, who came up with two guns and 400 rifles on recelcing Colonel Sepping’s message that the force had become entangled. The retreat was conducted admirably, the officers speaking in the highest terms of the gallantry of the troops. Colonel Houghton's vody has been recovered and search partles have started for the others. The column has been reinforced by 725 men from Bara and Colonel Sturt with fifty in- fantry, two guns and a squadron of cavalry will move to the front. The enemy’s losses were severe, as they charged within thirty yards of the troops. General Sir Power Palmer, who suc- ceeded Sir William Lockhart in com- mand, is preparing to make reprisals.

Stole More Than Seventy-Five Thou- sand Dollars, and Was Chased by Detectives for a Year. Spectal Dispatch ¢~ The Call. NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—Moses Rosen- stock was arraigned in the Center- street Police Court to-day on the com- plaint of his father-in-law, David Wilf- son of Baltimore, as a fugitive from Justice. He was held pending the ar- | rival of requisition papers from Balti- | more. Rosenstock was arrested last night. Mr. Wilfson, the complainant, is the senior member of the millionaire furni- ture manufacturing firm of David | ‘Wilfson & Son, Baltimore. Thirteeni years ago, according to the story told by Mr. Wilfson in court to-day, Rosen- stock was compelled, through his gambling debts and entanglements to leave Germany. He came to this coun- try and after a short resldence in Bal- timore married Mr. Wilfson’s oldest daughter, despite her father's opposi- | tion. Soon after that Rosenstock was | given an important position with his father-in-law’s firm, but after paying attention to business for a few months Rosenstock again plunged deeper than ever into dissipation. One day came the refusal of one of the firm's largest customers to pay a bill of over $20,000, which it claimed, according to Mr. ‘Wilfson, had been paid to Rosenstock months before. When confronted with the evidence Rosenstock denied that he | had received the money, but the matter | was settled for a time by Rosenstock’s | accepting a few hundred dollars and | leaving town. He left his wife and five children behind. An expert was put at | work on his books and Mr. Wilfson states discovered that Rosenstock was | $30,000 short in his accounts. This was in 1896. ““Hisdissipation in Baltimore,” said Mr. Wilfson in court to-day, “had al- ready cost me o¥er $75,000 and when I found he had been robbing me besides I determined to punish him severely if he could be found.” | For a year and more detectives scoured the country for Rosenstock. He went, they learned, to Philadelphia, and after being in the employ of a firm there for a few months disappeared, having defaulted in a small sum. Later he went to Pittsburg, and, according to | the story, did practically the same | thing over again. | Rosenstock had nothing to say when | | ther-in-law with downcast eves. He | showed little emotion when told by Mr. Wilfson that during the two years he had been absent two of his children had died. After he was remanded to the Tombs Rosenstock said he would | prepare a statement showing the amount of money he had taken from Mr. Wilfson. | —_———— YOUNG SELFRIDGE MAY BECOME A NAVAL CADET.
