CLERK MacDONALD SINKING RAPIDLY Slayer of Auditor Morris Is Not Expected to | Recover. : ——— I WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.—Samuel Mac- | sury clerk who shot and . Morris, auditor for the War Department, at the Winder building and then wounded himself, was | precarious condition at the emer- | hospital to-night and his death is i momentarily. MacDonald has entirely conscious since his removal 1. His condition this morn- | ing seemed more favorable, but to-night | it took a turn for the worse and he began | to sink. He has constantly reiterated the | hope that he would die, declaring that | he did not care to live. To-day many per- to see the wounded mai e latter was particularly anxious that of his friends should talk to the| papers about what he told them. He took the precaution to tear up their | ing cards o that their identity might | be learned. MacDonald has many | this cf who think that his | unsettl at the time of the | v was of Mr. Morris to-day and developed the fact that three of the five bullets had struck him. The body will be taken from | here to-morrow evening to Cleveland. The | interment will be in Lake View Cemetery. The family of the dead man were the f y telegrams and letters vy, and among the touching incidents was a visit of twelve children of Mr. Morris' class from Faith Chapel. Dan A. Grosvenor, deputy auditor for the War Department and the next in line of rank to the late Mr. Morris, was dis- arged on Saturday. Mr. Grosvenor re- ceived his discharge papers half an hour after the killing of Mr. Morris. They were conveyed to him from the office of Secretary Gage, the discharge taking ef- fect at once. Captain Cobaugh of the treasury watch took charge of affairs at the Winder bullding shortly after the shooting on Saturday, with instructions to report to | W. W. Brown, auditor for the Navy De- | partment and predecessor of Mr. Morris, who has been reinstated in his old posi- tion as auditor for the War Department. | CONSULS SHOW SLIGHT FRACTIONAL DECLINE Americans Very Active in the Lon- don Market and Business Makes Gains. 3.—On the whole the Stock Exchange last week displayed con- siderable firmness and a fair amount of business was done, consldering the period of the year.

On the other hand, Iliinois Central fell 2 points and Baltimore and Ohio 1 point. Grand Trunks were largely bought and closed from 1; to 23 higher.

CONDITIONS 4~ THE PHILIPPINES Civil Affairs Are Gradually Being Put Into Gocd Shape. RS WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—The War De- | partment has made public a series of r ports made to General MacArthur by the subordinate officers constituting the heads | of the various bureaus and departments | which have attended the civil affairs iu the Philippines for the past year. They are closely summarized but sufficiently | lengthy to cover the situation. The report says a stable currency has not been used in the Philippines and Mex- ican dollars were for a few days evenly exchanged. This was terminated by a provisional order by the Government by | which it was arranged to relmburse the | banks for any losses they might sustain | through paying out Mexican silver for | Unt States currency from disbursing s and trade. Doubt is expressed, | ver, as to the desirability of contin- | uing this arrangement. The customs ser- | vice is discussed at some length in th. report, and it is ed that there does not seem to be any present necessity for | any increase in the number of ports of entry. Attention is directed to the marked increase in the customs receipts under American management. This is explained in part by the fact that formerly a large | part of the imports came from Spain and paid no duties. Also, the American sys- tem of collection is said to tend to honest collections. The new tariff adopted for the islands is set out in detail. In almost every case specific duties are fixed, foi- lowing the established system in the isl- ands, which it was believed to be danger- ous fo change to the ad valorem system. The extension of the United States emi- gration laws to the islands without sub- stantial change to meet the local condi- tions is said to have proven of doubtful expediency, and especlally 50 with regard to the contract labor law. It is essential, says the report, for the mercantile inter- ests to secure employes from abroad un- der contract, else business will suffer. These laborers do not come into competi- tion with the native residents. More than 2,000 Chinese entered and left the islands last year. Only one-ninth of the land in the archipelago has been brought un- der cultivation and there is no land tax. Regarding the judicial department, it | early was found to be necessary to pro- vide a system which would be divested of those harsh and oppressive features 50 much In conflict with American stand- ards. It was impossible, for lack of time, to supply an entirely new system, so some changes, regarded as Indispensable, were made by @ general order. It appears that the operations o1 the law as thus qualified have been satisfactory in secur- ing to defendants in criminal cases the fundamental rights of Anglo-Saxon crim- inal law. The writ of habeas corpus has been invoked, and under iis speedy opera- tion nearly ‘one 'hundred prisoners, the heritage of Spanish regime, have been lib- erated from unwarranted detention. Colonel Crowder thoroughly indorses the recommendation of Lieutenant Bur- rett, in charge of the mining bureau, look- ing to a thorough change in the mining laws. He says that these are extremely cumbersome and that once they are brought up to American standards the mineral condition of the country will soon be enormously improved, as experienced prospectors and competent mining engi- neers now in the islands stand ready to undertake the work of exploitation. Colonel Crowder closes with a summary of the report of General J. F. Smith, Military Governor of Negros, showing that this island, which has had’ under the entire fwriod of American controy, a substantially autonomous form of govern- ment, has changed in favorable contrast with ‘the other islands. The attitude of the geople is highly fayorable and the largely autonomous government which they now enjoy seems to be their fitting reward, and the people are naturally de- sirous that it should be continued. But it will be impossible to discriminate in favor of Negros, the report says, in the heme of ¥overnment to be ultimately adopted, so that complications are expect- ed not easy of adjustment. 1 LONDON, Dec. 24—"Russia. offered Rnumlnllv’ loan of sixteen millions," says the Vienna correspondent _of Daily Express, “‘to assist her in fln‘lln::f cial crisis, but the offer was declined be- cause there were conditions attached undermining Roumanian {ndependence.’" And works oft the Cold. ine Tablets cure a cold No Pay.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—The Sun has the following from London: A dispatch to the Standard from Berlin says it is ru- mored that the Central American repub- lics are about to withdraw their assent to the construction of the canal by the United States .because they disapprove the alterations made by the American Senate in the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. ——— TO FORM NEW LEAGUE. Will Contain Five Cities at First and Eventually Eight. CHICAGO, Dec. 23. — The American League No. 2—the only name which can be given it untll- another is officially adopted—will be launched in this city next Thursday. At a conference to-night be- tween President Johnson of the American League, Attorney Navin of Detroit and George, W. Burnham it was decided to call a meeting for that purpose. The league will be organized at first with five cities—Detroit, Toledo, Minne- apoMs, Kansas City and Louisville—but will eventuall( be made to include eight citles. This is not due to any lack of available territory, but it is because the new league, like the American, is embar- rassed by a surplus of good citles which desire franchises in the new body. Inci- dentally it is also due to the fact that the American League is not yet definitely fixed, and it is not considered desirable to complete the new circuit until it is de- cided what citles will be abandoned by the American. Grand Rapids, Buffalo, St. Paul and Indlanapolis are strong possibilitles for the new learue, and there are f a dgren others that are applicants for fran- chises. Mr. Navin sald that the new league was looking fordpro!eellm from the American League and was ready to live and dle would with it. He also said that !he§ have no connection with the National League.

He Is Found to Be an Employe of the Millionaire Packer and Eas- ily Establishes an Alibi. L Special Dispatch to The Call OMAHA, Nebr., Dec. 28—The mysteri- cut “dark” man in the Cudahy kidnaping was yesterday arrested by the police from the description given by Miss Maude Mun- | shaw, who lives near the house in which Eddie Cudahy was held for ransom by his adbuetors. His name is Ed Johnson. He is a laborer in the Cudehy packing plant and resides at Twenty-sixth and Walnut streets. He admitted-having gone out to the Grover- street house three times for the purpose | which he found wman and his of renting the ouflding, already™let 1o the “light” accomplices. prove to the satistaction ot the poiice and Mr. Cudahy, who was called in, that he bad nothing to do with the case, and was allowec to return to his wife and family of six children. Chief ot Police Donahue is well pleased with saying that tae arrest of Johnson narrows the caze down by eliminating one of the | extranecus features and centering the chief interest about gne “light” man who rented the house m Mrs. Schneider- wind. In the meantime the city is being dili- gently searched for any sign of the other men described by persons living in vicinity of the abductors’ prison house. There is still a dark complexioned man in the case, but he is larger than Johnson and younger. Otherwise he is very much like Johnson, having a biack mustache and dark halr slightly mixed with grey. the | If the police have any idea who this man is they will not admit it. So far as they know, he was seen by but one person and that ‘'was Eddy Cudahy nimself. The other bandit was a light complexioned man with brown hair and long, light mus- tache, slight of build, and wh said to be somewhere between The individuals are described by ¢ de the kidnaped boy, namely b. K. Munshaw, James Schnelderwind and Frank Glynn. He is the man who called at the Schneiderwind home to engage the cottage at Thirty-sixth and Grover streets and who called up the Cudahy mansion from Glynn’s livery state to give notlce of The police are satisfled that they know the man and if he is the person they think he is, he probably will be in custody within | the next ten days at least. If gullty he cannot remain at large long, they say. E. A. Cudahy Sr. still entertains the theory that if Pat Crowe was not one of the men who kidnaped his son he will lose no time in advising him of this fact. | Mr. Cudahy has befriended Crowe many times in the past. “Why," said the packer. In the course of a conversation to-day, ““Pat Crowe knows perfectly well that if he had come to me a week ago and asked me for $25,000 he would have got it. He has often ex- pressed a sense of gratitude for what I have done for him and I can hardly be- lieve he would turn against me in this wa: Reports were In circulation here to- night that one of the kidnapers of young Cudahy was under arrest at Fort Dodge, TIowa. As far as can be definitely learned, this report had its origin in the fact that an Armenian named Albi, who had a considerable sum of gold in hli(E05~ sessfon, was taken from an Illinois Cen- tral train at Fort Dodge on Wednesday night. It is said, however, that the man had met an injury on the train and that he was taken to a hospital in Fort Dodge. He attracted attention In the hospital from the fact that he carried so much old. It is stated, however, that he left Omaha some hours before Mr. Cudahy { turned over the ransom. —_———— Alleged Identification of Crowe. NEW YORK, Dec. 23.—The Journal has | the following from Omaha: Omaha po- lice have found a man-who absolute'y identifies Pat Crowe as the man who rent- ed the old vacant house to which young Cudahy was taken, and as the man who abducted the boy.
