McKENZIE HELD FOR COMP LICITY IN THE COOK KILLING The Ex-Sheriff Admitted to Bail in the Sum Thousand . Feb. 3.—George S. McKenzie, | ff of Napa County, was to-day | by Justice Wright to answer to a | of murder, for alleged com- | S Alfred Cook, | ; 5, 1899, by xed at $2 from the | fixed.

Cook told him he had the job secured before he left San Francisco. Quit a stir of excitement was created when Bell began the cross-examination of the witness. “Have you been offered any money for your testimony in this case?” was his first startling question. “I was told by a party,” said the wit- ness, “that if I would give my testi- mony I could make wages by it. I said I would not be bribed, but would tell what I knew. He said: ‘If you tell me what passed between you and that party you will be well paid for it.’ There were two such conversations. One . st night and the other last Satur- day’.” “Who was the party?” ir. Beerstecher.” “What was said about your testi- mony last night and about the money o were to get?” The matter was brought up in this shape. He sai ‘You will get your es well paid if you will tell what know about it.’” T told him I would tell him what I knew. He then said I would be paid and paid well. I said I could not be bribed, and he said he was not trying to bribe me, but that he only wanted me to tell the truth. He did not try to bribe me. He only wanted me to tell the truth.” There was a brief cross-examination by Beerstecher, without eliciting any- thing new, and H. M. Barstow, one of the attorneys for the defense, was call- ed to the stand. He testified that Mc- Kenzie met him at the train at Napa on the evening of Deember 30, 1898, the time Cook arrived, and that witness and McKenzie had a conversation at the depot. This closed the taking of testimony and both sides agreed to submit the matter without argument. Justice Wright gave his decision as follow: I wish to say that in going over the testimony in this case, as brought from the witnesses, I find that the evidence in the case is such that I am compelled to commit the defendant to answer before the Superior Court of this county. The evidence in my mind has been such as to be in favor of the prosecution, and that in rebuttal has not been sufficient to en- able me to do otherwise. It is the order of this court that the defendant be com- mitted to answer before the Superior Court of ‘this county. yo! not Attorney Beerstecher inquired of the | court as to the matter of bail. Dis- trict Attorney Bell strenuously ob- jected to bail being allowed, but after argument by Attorney Hilman the Jus- tice decided in favor of the defense as follows: ‘The evidence of the case in my mind is circumstantial, and the presumption of t is not so great as to preven admitting the defendant to bail no doubt I would be justified in o him to bail. Balil is fixed in the sum ef $20,000. Soon after adjournment of the court the necessary bond was filed and ‘Me- Kenzie was thus saved from going back to a prison cell.

Trains over the Rio Grande began running to-day in regular sched- ule between Denver and Leadville and from Denver to Durango over the nar- row gauge. Trains are also running east from Grand Junction to Gunnison and Ouray over the narrow gauge. The Midland Terminal is blockaded, but communication with Cripple Creek is still maintained over the Florence and Cripple Creek line. The first train from Como over the South Park Road since the beginning of the big storm, three weeks ago, ar- rived in Denver to-night. A rotary, followed by a trainload of provisions, | is cutting its way to Kokomo, and the intention is, if the train is not buried by snowslides, to enter Leadville to- morrow. A dispatch from Silverton says Ed- ward Rogers, a miner, was killed by a | snowslide near town to-day. The officials of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway Company say that system has not had such an experience since the winter of 1885. At Glenwood Springs are three Rio Grande and two Midland trains sno bound. Each road has a train at Lead. ville, and the Rio Grande two at Grand Junction and one at Minturn. No road except the.Union Pacific is accepting through west-bound passengers. Snow is reported on the Rio Grande lines all the way from three feet on the level at Glenwood Springs to six feet deep at Crested Butte. At § o’clock this evening the mercury stood at 25 below at Marshall Pass. A train started from Minturn with a gang of shovelers to open the line through the canyon of the Grand River. At 6 o'clock this evening the train had not even reached the canyon. The Denver & Rio Grande Company expects to have its main line open by | next Sunday. The West Minstrels, the Gay Coney Island company and “Shaft No. 10” company are all blockaded at different points in the mountains. LEADVILLE, Feb. 3.—The citizens of the camp are experiencing no hard- ships so far, with the exception of the miners on the Gold Belt route, who have been laid off owing to the block- ade and are losing, in the aggregate, $2500 in wages per day. Both of the Leadville smelters are cutting down their work and are carrying on opera- tions in their vards with the utmost difficulty and at the loss of a large sum of money each day. The coal situation is still critical -for the reason that there is so much coal consumed daily, the smelters alone using 150 tons per day. coal which came in on the Midland and twenty cars on the Rio Grande were consumed in an hour and coal dealers are far behind with their orders.

Mrs. Foster declared she was born in | 4 Scotland November 29, 1789, but her | actual age might have been over 109 | years, as she said she was told by her mother that when a babe in arms they all were brought on a troop ship to Nova Scotia to join the father, and was a soldier in the British army and fighting the colonists. Before her marriage to a ship cap- tain, John Foster, she was known as Maria Hewston. For many years prior to her meeting with her husband she was maid to different noble ladies, and in her later years when the subject was mentioned Mrs. Foster reviled that class as being immoral and frivolous, as well as purse-proud and overbear- ing. During her married life, a period of over forty years, she visited nearly every section «f the world and she re- lated with great gle how hker “old hubby, when off the Sulu Islands, beat off some Malay pirates, who had at- tacked them, by using hot water and slush.” Mrs. Foster came in 184§ to Calif6f- nia, landing at old Monterey, and for many years lived near that town. In 1870, while going over the hills to the San Juan Mission, after a residence at San Juan since 1854, Mr. Foster died and then her troubles began, finally ending in the poorhouse. Mrs. Foster has been for eight years an inmate and for the past three years had been bed- ridden, she having fallen and broken | her knee caps, which never reunited. She was partially deaf and nearly to- tally blind, though she recognized all who came in contact with her by their voice. Her hair, snow white, and very long, gave a witchlike appearance to | | her shriveled and mummified features. She was a hearty eater, drank several glasses of brandy each day and smoked the strongest tobacco In a foul clay pipe continuously. CASES OF SMALLPOX IN AN OMAHA HOTEL Guests Quarantined and Prevented From Leaving by a Squad ‘ of Police. CHICAGO, Feb. 3.—A special to the | Record from Omaha, Neb., says: The | spectacle of an entire hotel full of guests | being quarantined and armed policemen standing at every door and window to pre- vent the people escaping is presented in Omaha to-night. This morning three well-defined cases of smallpox were discovered at the Ven- dome Hotel, located in the center of the city. The Health Department was noti- fied and plans were quickly decided upon | for quarantining the place. A squad of rmed gul)temen raced to the scene, and when the guests started on their accus- | tomed duties this morning they were | driven back into the house by force. | Traveling men begged'to be permitted to get away, guaranteeing to leave the city by the first train or afoot if necessary. Several daring fellows, who preferred any sort of an adventure to being shut up for ten days, slipped out the skylight, scaled the adjacent roofs, and making their way through the snow and ice over the housetops, managed to reach the ground in safety, after many narrow ese capes. A number of Chicago and St. Louis traveling men are in the hotel. Nobody cares to examine the register just at present to find out who they are. - WOULD ESCAPE DISCIPLINE. Priest Tuhoy May Have Recourse to the Civil Courts. ST. LOUIS, Feb. 3.—Father John Tu- hoy, against whom a papal decree has been rendered that he must vacate the parochial residence and retire to a | monastery for ten days, will take his case ‘into the civil courts, if, in his opin- ion, the discipline to be administered by Archbishop Kaine, in accordance with the papal decree, proves to be too severe, said His attorneys, Groves and McClelland, to-day. They declared that | regardless ‘of the decision of Rome, Father Tuhoy’s position was quite ten- ! able. The appeal is now pending in the Court of Appeals of this city, and the | case has not been dismissed. No action { will be taken until Father Tuhoy knows | nk:g final attitude of the Archbishop of the see. e s M SUICIDE IN A BOXCAR. | Unknown Man K.lls Himself With } a Dose of Strychnine. CHICO, Feb. 3.—Trainmen on a souths bound freight this morning found the | body of a man in a boxcar.

A bottle partly filled with strychnine and another bottle containing a small quan- tity of alcohol and strychnine were found in the pockets. cide. No papers were found by which the man could be identified. The car in which the body was found was brought from | Tehama this morning. |~ The man was between 35 and 40 years of . age, about five feet nine inches tall, with dark brown moustaché, hair of the same color, slightly gray, and about two weeks’ owth of beard.

The speakers were Money of Mississippi and | Daniel of Virginia. The former's ad- | dress was comparatively brief. Daniel made an exhaustive argument, in which he covered all the points in con- | troversy. His speech was a brilliant oratorical effort. | Money, in accordance with previous no- tice, began a discussion of the expansion | problem. He desired, he said, to make certain concessions in beginning. He con- ceded the right of this country to acquire by conquest or by purchase or by any other method exercised by any sovereign nation, territory anywhere, but in a case like that now presented the treaty mak- ing power could act only within the limits of the constitution. Discussing the con- | dition of the Filipinos, Money deciared | that if they were not fitted for self-gov- ernment they were not fitted to be citi- | zens of the United States, and we would be better off to leave them to their own devices, that they might work out their own destiny. Money entered then upon a discussion of the situation in the Philip- ines. He told how Aguinaldo had offered is services to the United States officials and paid high tribute to the Filipino leader. Daniel of Virginia addressed the Sen- ate on the Vest resolution. ‘‘To-day,” he said, “‘we are the United States of Amer- ica. To-morrow, if a certain treaty now pending before this body be ratified, we will be the United States of America and Asia.” It is seriously proposed, he said, that we take to this country a large and miscellaneous assortment of Asiatic isl- ands and to make citizens, with all the rights of inhabitants of territories of the United States, of the large and varied assortment of Asiatics, Mongolians, Ma- lays and negroes who inhabit them. For his_part he deemed it inexpedient, unwise and unjust that we should do this thing, “We m;f(uked.” said he, “to go 7000 | miles fromf”our shores to grasp and hold as subjects eight million people by force of arms and to hold the land until the American people shall decide what dis- position is to be made of them. I do not believe the body of the American people understand the significance of this treaty. T do not belleve that some Senators who are crying to us to ratify the treaty un- derstand it. The treaty fixes the policy of the Government. What may be done afterward is merely clerical detail. The treaty is a thoroughfare over which eight millions of American citizens will march into this Union. It is the marriage of na- tions. Henceforward and forever the Fili- pinos and Americans will be one. I trust yet, before the marriage is consummated, the spirit of American constitutional lib- erty will arise and forbid the bans. What is their relation to us that we should set forth, knightlike, with lance in rest, to rescue them? We cannot turn them back. to Spain? The American people do not so treat those who were comrades on the field of battle. They have not yet attained the dignity and power of a nation. We can- not recognize the Filipino republic and come away from the islands. We have only to look skyward to see the birds of prey circling about, ready to descend upon those who are weak.” Daniel after reviewing the kind of - ple to be found in the Philippines, said: “This country stands to-day the fore- most nation in the world. Let her tread with sure and steady step along her own highways, respecting master and man. Let her to the tempter of expansion to- day say, as he who stood upon the mount said, when the glories of the earth were stretched before him: ‘Get thee behind me, Satan.” " At _the conclusion of Daniel’s speech, which had occupied three and a half hours, the Senate, at 5:10 p. m., on motion of Davis, went into executive session, and soon afterward adjourned. - OPPOSITION TO ON THE PEACE TREATY WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.—The con- troversy in the Senate over the vote tive of the peace treaty took an acute turn late to-day. The opposition to a vote first came from the friends of the treaty, who held to the theory that it could be ratified without compromise. Those who apparently were then will- ing that a vote should be taken to-day | upon the various resolutions interpra | a recess until 11 o'clock to-morrow. A number of the opposition refrained from voting, and the rollcall developed the ab- rence cf a auorum. The hands of the Senate clock then indicated 6:30. None of the Senators had had their dinners. Hence Senator Davis himself moved an £djournment, whicih motion carried with- out a division The vote on adjou:nment was not considered in any sense as a test, | as many of the Senators, and especially of the supporters of the treaty, had left the chamber before the ballot was taken. SERIOUS STATE OF THE COLON STRIKE Request Made for the Dispatch of a Man-of-War to Protect British Subjects. | COLON, Colombia, Feb. 3—At Panama | the steamship strikers who were engaged | by the month had petitioned the Governor | to enforce payment of their wages up to | the date of the beginning of the strike, these having been withheld on the | plea of breach of contract. A conference held an opposite view and absolutely | refused to agree to a time for taking a | vote. The contest occurred in the executive | sesfon, which did not occur until quarter after 5 o’'clock. The next hour and a quarter was spent in a vain endeavor on for a vote upon the resolutions and on the other in a more successful effort to bring the day’s session to a close without allowing anything to be accomplished in that direction. The gallery doors had no sooner been locked than Senator Davis, who had immediately in front of the chair, prof- fered the request of the treaty support- | ers for unanimous consent, naming to- | morrow as the date of voting. He said | that the desire on his side of the cham- | ber was that there should be an oppor- | tunity to vote upon the resolutions of a declaratory nature, all of which had been offered by Senators who were opposed to | the treaty without a modification. The opposition were prepared for the re- | quest but it did not fail to create some | excitement. Simultaneous objections were | made from three or four sources. but, as if by common consent, to Senator Gorman ‘was left the task of making the principal statement of the reasons for the opposi- tion. His main objection was based upon the brief time that must intervene tween the time of taking the vote on the resolutions and the time fixed for voting on the treaty—3 o’clock next Monday. An | essential part of the demand of those who desired a modification of the expres- sion in the treaty was that the House as { well as the_ Senate must act upon the | resolution. Manifestly it was too late to secure a vote by the House, even if the action of the Senate shouid be favorable. Hence the absurdity of the proposition. He for one would object and he had no doubt that others would feel as he did. So long as there had been any possibility of securing a vote in both houses of Con- gress the members of the Senate who op- | posed the !rest{l in its present form had | made no opposition. %leeupon‘; e question at this late hour would create the impression that the op- ponents of the treaty had been posing for effect and had allowed themselves to be tricked, either ignorantly or knowingly. Senators Cockrell and Bacon also { avowed their opposition to fixing a time for a vote, placing their opposition. on grounds practically the same as those of Gorman. Each was inclined to charge 4 bad faith. Senator Cockrell gavé notice that he would resist any, effort for a vote upon the resolutions up to 3 o'clock Mon- day, when the vote on the treaty must be aken. The they were acting in perfect good faith. 'fi;e objectors stood firm, however, to the last, refusing to yield. These objec- tlons were, of course, effective, and the treaty supporters turned their attention to longer daily sessions of the Senate, with the hope of exhausting debate and thus foreing action on the resolutions without unanimous consent being given. Senator Davis therefore moved that the Senate take a recess until 10 o’clock to- morrow. He was met with a motion by Senator Gorman to_adjourn, and on this motion the ayes and noes were ordered. Mr. Davis and his coworkers resisted the adjournment motion, and it was de- ot rtuftime 3 aves 0o 3 hoes, A vote ballot aye n Vo was immediately ordered for a motion for o friends of the treaty declared that the one side to get an agreement to a date | taken his position at Senator Frye's seat, | be- | But to consent to a | { | | | | was held at the Governor’s palace yester- day, attended by agents of the steamship company and the Panama Railroad, and | it was agreed to increase the wages 2 per cent in silver per day, as well as to make the payment of arrears asked for | in the petition.

KINGSTON, Jamaica, Feb. 3.—The Brit- ish Consul at Colon, Colombia, it s re- ported here to-night, has cabled the Gov= ernor-in-Chief and Captain General of Jamaica, Sir Augustus Hemming, request- ing that a British man-of-war be dis- patched to Colon to protect British sub- Jects and property there. This appeal tends to confirm previous private advic that the lives of inoffensive foreign res dents are endangered through the indi criminate attempts of the Colombian sol- diery to suppress the strikers and through the threatened retaliatory efforts of the dockmen and railway employes, which vesterday threatened to precipitate a san- guinary crisis. TROOPS FROM CUBA. They Will Be Brought Back as Rap- idly as Possible. NEW- YORK, Feb. 3.—A Washington special to the Herald says: It is the in- tention of the administration to bring the troops back from Cuba as rapidly as pos- sible before the rainy season opens. It is probable that if the Cuban insurgents disband and order is restored the force will be considerably reduced by April. All will depend upon the success of the au- thorities in restoring order.
