TBT DrSLAl-S CVBLE COMPAXT.J
Dcblij., March C The following cor
respondence has passed between Mr. Par

been made public. This will be its first
publication. The correspondence opens, as
iill be seen, by a letter Irom John Billon,
asking both Parnell and McCarthy to male
some adequate arrangements for the relief of
Ihe evicted tenants in Ireland during the
imprisonment of Mr. Dillon and Mr.
O'Brien. This interchange of letters grew
out of the resolution -passed by the Mc
Carthy section at one of its meetings a few
weeks ago, favoring a transfer of funds held
in Paris to the credit of the Irish party to
the Council of the Tenants" Defense Asso
ciation in Ireland. The first letter is as

Unmeaning, because you were perfectly
aware that you and I have jointly full power
over tbo fund, to dispose of as we think best
for the national interests, and that your col
leagues have never j et been consulted as to its
disposition and have no sort of authority to in
terfere in the management of its expenditure;
an obstruction, becauso you know very well I
could not agree to tho conditions sought to be
imposed by your colleagues, and which appear
to have been suggested In order to bring mat
ters to a deadlock; and oppressive, because the
resolution as a reason for the insertion of this
objectionable conditiou makes imputations
against O'Brien of so shameful a character as
to make its adoption by any body of Irishmen
claiming to be patriots appear incredible.
I must also respectfully protest against the
publication by your colleagues of the extent of'
the reserve resources tn Pans. Fortunately
their knowledge upon the subject does not
equal their recklessness, and in stating tho
amount of 36.000 they have considerably over
estimated the lund still available. I would re

the folly of such attempted disclosure Would

House of Commons, Feb. 23, 189k
Dear Parnell I have submitted your last
letter to the meeting of our part-, and I am now
in a position to reply. My colleagues hold that
wo are dealing with a national fund, raised by
Public contribution, for the furtherance of tho
nsh cause, and that you and I have no title to
dispose oi it at our own pleasure, iney main
tain that we derived our fiduciary position from
them, and. in the exercise of our functions we
are subject to their authority. I, on mv part,
entirely accept this view, and, in case of any
proposal to me to release any part of tho funds,
I should submit it to my colleagues on the rea
sons stated, for their proposals, and should act
according to their judgment.
lit ould Demand a Reckoning.
Moreover, I should expect to be furnished
with accounts of the appropriation of money
already released for the information of my col
leagues, before making them assent to any pro
posal to releaso a further amount. I do not
know any cround upon which it could be con
tended that you or I. or both, have the right to
deal with this public money as freely as if it
were our own, even if we were given the
authority to dispose of the fund for the benefit
of the evicted tenants.
I do not see how you and I could efficiently
supervise this expenditure. I doubt whether
j ou have, and I have not the requisite personal
knowledge of the details or the agrarian situa
tion,especiallv of estates in the districts directly
concerned. We should certainly need to act
by the advice of otber'.and the question is who
would thev be. and upon what instruction or
whose instruction would they act in disposing
or the money. My colleagues and myself are
at a loss to conceive what objection there can
be to tho Council of the Tenants' Defense As
sociation. That bodv was annotated by a reso
lution or the entire Irish part-. It represents
ike euureliish piny in its constitution. It
has administered about 70,000 raised in Ireland
in ISS9, and has done this with satisfaction.
Itccollectlon ot Former Differences,
Yon, yourseir, are one of the treasurers ot
the body; Dr. Kenny is another. What, then,
can be your objections ? AYhat better admin
istration do you suggest ? If the motion is
that you and 1 should act without any regular
agency whatever to assist us. 1 apprehend from
the recollection of serious differences which
sprung up between us, as the result of recent
interviews, that such a method would be cer
tainly irksome and probably unworkable. Tho
object being simply to relieve tho evicted ten
ants, why shonld not such a contribution as we
can make from the Paris fund to the object be
given to the bodv which has satisfactorily con
trolled the expenditures oi aoout nine-tenths
or the money applied for the same purpose
since ISS'J.
I have to and that no information has been
yet afforded us by the National League as to
the expenditure of the sum of 3.000 which was
banded over to the League. Hut the money
last released from the Paris fund,
as this sum was. was set free
by my co-operation, for tho purpose
ot giving succor to the evicted tenants. My
colleagues and I consider ourselves entitled to
ask for tho particulars of its appropriation.
The question does not at all concern O'Brien,
who acted only as an intermedia in the trans
mission of the money from the Pans bankers
to the League. What we wi-h to ascertain is
how the League applied it. 1 ruly yours,
Justin McCarthy.
Dear McCarthy I received your letter,
bearing postmaiks ot the ".'1th, on my return
to London Trora Ireland. I regret to find your
colleagues still insist on depriving you of the
position of joint trustee, in which I placed you,
over the Paris fund, and that tbey consider
themselves better entitled to occupv this nosi
tJnn than you. You tell me they sar von de
rive jour judiciary positition from them butl
would remind you that this fund was collected
and placed in mj hands, and that I appointed
jou iuj joint trustee therein before the creat
majority of them occupied any public position.
Careftilly Nursed the Fund.
That 1 have carefully nursed it dnrinc many
years, and have had the sole responsibility of
selecting IU investments with the result that
it is now many thousands in excess or what you
or they had supposed, you know; also that
we have never upon any occasion con
sulted any ot your colleagues with
reference to its care or investment,
and that the claim which jou say tbey now
put lorward to share jour trusteeship is ad
vanced for the first time, and apparently with
the purpose to obstruct and insult. Your fur
ther suggestion that anything in my letter of
the 20th can be takeu as indicating an opinion
tbat you or I, or both of us together, have a
rignt to deal with this public monevas Ircely as
ir it were our own is absolutely unwarranted.
The passage in my letter upon which you ap-f
irucuuj uas mis suggestion is as louows:
You and I have jointly full power over
this fuud to dispose of as wo think
best for the national interests," which
is a very different thing from disposing
of it as ir it were our own. You say
yon do not see how vou or I cnnld
efficiently supervise the expenditure
lor the relict ot the evicted tenants,
inasmuch as wo have not tne requisito knowl
edge of tho details of the es.ates. and ou reit
erate jour suggestion that the Council of the
Tenants' Defense Association is the suitable
body for this duty; tbat it has the requisite
knowledge and that thev hav. e already adminis
tered about 70,000.
Dillon Provided the Means.
When Dillon asked us to undertake this duty
hc provided the means for enabling us to ob
tain the requisite knowledge of all the details,
by instructing James u'Bncn to place at our
disposal the necessary books and papers, and
also bv directing Qinnell, who acted as Dillon's
secretary in connection with this business, to
givo us full information on the matters con
nected with the distribution of the fund. Dil
lon evidently considered tbat the Council of
the Defense Association could not carry out
the necessary duties, or he would havo applied
to them instead or to us.
Your colleagues are quite in error in inform
ing you that tho Council of this association
has administered 70,000. This body never ad
ministered a single penny; they simply confined
meruseives m uuueoung. ineir unties uavo
hcen merclj as a conrtuit pipe, thronch which
subscriptions
ins irom the com.trv passed
to thoae who had charge f its admin
istration Jo swell an extent have tbey
carried this, that thej alwavs carefully pro
tected themselves trom any knowledge or the
details. They have been equally careful to
have no official knowledge whatever of the
estates of the districts receiving help from the
Xind, or the amounts respectively allotted, or
mm
the persons or local antbonty charged with the
administration or the grant.
Anxious for an Agreement,
They simply confined themselves to receiving
subscriptions and signing checks, payable to
those personswhoadmimsteredand distributed
the proceeds or these checks and any moneyrc
ceived from me or others to the evicted tenants.
And who were these persons when they were in
the enjoyment of HbertyT They were O'Unen
and Dillon. When thoso gentlemen were in
prison or abroad tbey appointed others to
tako their place. At one time it was Mr. Gill
and John Raymond; at other times Carew and
Clancy.'
Dillon has now asked us to assume the duty,
and I will not bo a party to tho evasion or this
responsibility by making impracticable pro
posals, or setting up pretexts or excuses. I am
most anxious to come to somo arrangement
with jou by which tho evicted tenants may bo
protected until they can obtain fair set
tlements, and this question should not bo
allowed to assume any partisan complexion
as between us. I do not think your course In
submitting the details or onr conversation to
jour colleagues and in sanctioning the passage
or publication of a resolution framed in conse
quent of this knowledge, obviously designed
as a stroke of partisan policy, was a
reciprocation or acknowledgment of my
attitude, but I do not see why. ir the
attempt to make partv capital out
or the position or the evicted tenints Is aban
doned, there- should be any difficulty in our
agreeing upon the selection or two members,
one from amonir yonr colleagues and one from
among mine, who aro practically acquainted
by personal experience in Ireland, with the
detailed situation of thes estates, who would
co-operate with us in continuing the system
hitherto adopted.
Gill Suggested to Assist,
Obviously the simpler plan would do to ask
Gill, who occupies a neutral position in this
controversy, to resume the place he filled after
Dillon's first imprisonment for a period. I be
lieve, of nearly two years. Some time since I
mentioned this matter to Gill, but was not suc
cessful in inducing him to entertain it Perhaps,
however, he might now bo induced to assist us.
You also say you expect, for the information of
your colleagues, to be furnished with an ac
count of the appropriation of the 8,000 aireadv
released. Y'ou will rerapmber that jou and I
signed a joint order on Munroe S Co. to hand
over this sum to O'Brien. It was appropriated
in accordance with bis directions, and 1 have
not asked him for any account, and do not in
tend to do so. If you require any further in
formation on the subject it will be necessary
for you to apply to him C. S, Pahnkll.
House of Commons, March 2.
Dear Farnel:l The question on which we
desired information was not as to distribution
of any money by Mr. O'Brien. No one ever
raised any question of that kind. We asked
how that portion of the money handed over to
the National League the sum released lately
by you and me was distributed. X pass over
that. Except for this remark on all the con
troversial passages in your letter, it is not
likely that cither or us would be able to figure
out his opinions of the subject brought up.
But jou have made a practical suggestion with
which I am glad to deal.
Agrees to the Suggestion.
Y'ou say there should be no difficulty in onr
agreeing to the selection of two members, one
from among your colleagues and one from
mine, who are practically acquainted by per
sonal experience in Ireland with the detailed
situation of those estates who would co-operatn
with us in continuing the system hitherto
adopted. Very few of my colleagues are in
town now, and I could not, without tbo
sanction of mv party, mako my final
arrangement, but am willing that any sum ac
tually needed for tbo present wants of the
tenants should be released and entrusted by
jou and me to James O'Brien and Clancy. Tor
distribution. No time should be lost and no
delay in the relief of the tenants should be
interposrd. pending some definite final settle
ment of tne question. That Onal settlement, 1,
for my part, should do my best to bring about
at the earliest possible moment.

LIST OP IlirORTAKT LAWS ENACTED'
frrtOJI A STAFF COBItZSFOlfDEXT.
Washington, Jlarch C representa
tive Dineley, of Maine, is enthusiastic over
the work of the Fifty-first Congress, and
thinks that history will write it down as a
pre-eminently business Congress. Among
other complimentary things, he said to-day:
"The work done by any Congress is not to
be measured by the number of acts and re
solves passed, although a comparison of
these with the number passed in other Con
gresses, shows that the largest number ever
enacted by any Congress. An act pension
ing John Jones counts as one in such an
enumeration, and a tariff act counts only one.
"In important measures, however meas
ures of far-reaching legislation, of public
importance, which call forth strong opposi
tion as -well as earnest support the achieve
ments of the Fifty-first Congress have been
so numerous and so great that it will be re
garded as pre-eminently the business Con
gress. Long List of Laws.
"Think of the long list of public acts
which have become laws. A tariff act,
comprising an entire revision; an adminis
trative customs act, designed to secure a
uniform collection of duties; pension legis
lation which liberalizes the pension laws so
as to reach faithful soldiers who cannot
prove that their disability originated in the
service.
"Then there is an act reapportioning
Eepresentatives to Congress under the new
census; acts admitting six new States to the
Union and establishing the new Territory
of Oklahoma; an act prohibiting the use of
the mails for the circulation of lottery ad
vertisements; the original package act; an
act prohibiting the formation of trusts; an
act forfeiting non-earned lands granted to
railroads; acts ratifying treaties extinguish
ing the Indian title to millions of acres of
public lands.
"An act to refund the direct tax to States
which paid the same was also passed, and
besides legislation providing lor the pay
ment of long-delayed French spoliation
claims; legislation looking to the addition
of battle ships to the navy; an act adopt
ing the regulations for the prevention of
collisions at sea recommended by the Inter
national Marine Conference; the act provid
ing for the holding of the Columbian Expo
sition at Chicago in 1S93; an act amending
and improving the laws regulating immi
gration; the international copyright act; the
acts providing lor tne inspection oi came
and meats intended for exportation, and
the act increasing the endowment of agri
cultural colleges.
IJeforrning the Judiciary System.
"In addition to all of this and mnch more
important legislation, the Fifty-first Con
gress has reformed the judiciary system of
the United States, so as to further the ends
of justice, by creating an intermediate ap
pellate tribunal. Indeed, if nothing more
had been done than to secure the passage
of this measure this Congress wonld bavo
deserved the plaudits oi the whole people.
"When the Fifty-first Congress assembled
it fonnd the country agitated by a dem- cd
for more currency in., consequence of whidh,
the owners of silver mines had been able to
create a strong sentiment for the tree coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 of gold,
when the actual market ratio was 20 to 1.
This organized movement for free coinage
was able to carrr the scheme through the
Senate, hut the House stood up against it,
and secured a compromise measure, which
maintained the soundness oi our currency
and at the same time increased the circu
lating mtdium and used substantially silver
product as money.
"What great service this Congress has
done to the business of the country in suc
cessfully opposing schemes depreciating the
currency will be be better appreciated when
the next Congress assembles and surrenders,
as it will, to the dangerous financial schemes
which the creat body o'f the Democratic
members of the recent Congress were ready
to support.
Aiding American Shipping,
"Then there is the act looking to the es
tablishment of American steamship lines
between this country and foreign countries,
especially South American countries, where
trade is being opened up to our citizens by
the important reciprocal arrangements
which Secretary Blaine is making with
them, under the authority granted under
the recent tariff act. While I had hoped
that the shipping legislation of the Fifty
first Congress would be more comprehensive
than this looking to the restoration of our
merchant marine yet the passage of this
measure marks a new era in our legislation
and will lead to further steps.
"The mere mention of all this important
legislation achieved by one Congress
omitting the other important measures, such
as the elections bill and the bankruptcy
bill, passed by the House and not passed by
the Senate is sufficient to stamp the work
of the Fifty-first Congress as the most com
prehensive and important done by any one
or even a half dozen Congresses outside of
the war period.
Defense of Itepuhlican Action.-
"The senseless cry which has been raised
that the Republican majority has denied to
the minority rights essential to deliberate
legislation has no foundation. The minority
ot a parliamentary body has the right to
reasonable debate, but not the right to pre
vent a vote, when so-called debate and
even ordinary motions are used to prevent
action tiiey cease to De rights.
"The record shows 6,4G5 riages of debates
in the Fitty-first Congress more than in the
previous Democratic Congress and almost
four times as much .as in the Thirty-seventh
Congress. Such a record of debates show
thit no measure suffered for want of discus
sion. "It is sufficient to say that hardly one of
the important political measures enacted by
the Fifty-first Congress would have passed
if the rules had not been amended. The
Democratic minority understood this and
counted on preventing tariff and other legis
lation by obstruction tactics. These tactics
were deieated by Speaker Reed and his Ite
puhlican associates. History will in time
appiovctbe work of the late Congress and
the means by which a majority were enabled
to accomplish it." Lightnek.

IHE MINT BILL BLtJNDEB.
Treasury Officials Trying to Solve the Exist
ing Difficulty.
rVBOM A STAFF CORBESFOHBESJT.
Washington, March 6. The Philadel
phia mint bill blunder by which no definite
appropriation was made is now under con
sideration by the law department of the
Treasury and a decision will be reached to
morrow, as to what course the Secretary will
take concerning the instructions of the bill.
It is a rather delicate matter to handle and
all the laws are being searched and decis
ions for years back are being looked
through in the hope of finding a precedent.
It is the intention of the department to get
a reproduced copy of the parchment bill
drawn up bv the Treasury emert and com
pare it with" the bill that passed the Senate.
Supervising Architect Windrim said this
morning: "The bill prepared by this de
partment had a separate and distinct appro
priation clause iu it, for I saw it myself.
Now that clause has been cut out, but I
don't know who did it. All I have to say
is that whoever cut it out should have inter
ested himself enough to watch the progress
of the bill."
AN IDAHO COMPLICATION.
The District Judgeship Question Presents a
Puzzling Side.
Washington, March 6. A queer com
plication surrounds the question ot a United
States District Judge for Idaho. The Presi
dent appointed Mr. Beattie for the place.
He failed of confirmation. The point has
been made as this is a new office it can only
be filled with the advice and consent of the
Senate, and as the President's attempts so
to fill it have failed, he cannot appoint a
man now and have him serve until the Sen
ate can act on the nomination.
Under this view, no vacancy such as the
President is authorized to fill until the
Senate can pass on it exists. The other
view is that a vacancy within the meaning
of the law actually exists, and that the
President his the same right to fill it that
he has to 11 any vacancy. The question
is under consideration at the Department of
Justice.

Morgantown, March G. T. J. Powell,
aged 23 years and single, met with a strange
accident six miles from here Sunday, which
terminated fatally last evening. Powell
was an employe of the South Pcnn Pipe
Line Company, and started from town, ac
companied by a friend, for the Doll's Bun
oil field. They were both walking, and on
the way bis inend picked up a short stick,
which he used ns a cane.
While descending a steep hill both men
slipped and fell, Powell tailing upon the
stick which his companion carried, the
sharp point penetrating his bowels about
two inches. He was immediately brought
to town and a physician summoned, but was
not thought to be dangerously wounded, as
he was able to walk to his room at the Wal
lace House, but he grew worse yesterday
morning, when his father was telegraphed
at Petroleum, Pa. But before he could
start, another telegram was sent, notifying
him of his son's death. The remains were
forwarded this morning to Petroleum via
Pittsburg. Mr. Powell was the fourth guest
to die in the Wallace House'within half a
century, the third being a nephew of the
millionaire philanthropist Cochran, of

LEGISLATIVE THEFT OS CARELESSNESS.
An Important Hill Passed by Both Houses
Lost In Transit.
TorcKA, Kan., March G. The Senate
returned to the House this morning the
waiver of appraisement bill, which had
been messaged to it with the indorsement
that it was not the original bill as shown by
Senate journal, aud that consequently the
bill could not be recognized. The original
bill was lost by the Judiciary Commit
tee. The bill had passed both Houses by a
large majority. Elder took the floor and
denounced the action of the Senate. He
said the Senate passed the bill because it
could not do otherwise, and then had sent
its emissaries to the House Judiciary Com
mittee to steal the bill. The Republicans
de coded the Senate aud denied the charge.
On motion of Speaker Elder, the bill pro
Tiding for a State agent at Washington at a
salary of $4,000 a year, to look after pensions
tor the soldiers, was indefinitely postponed.
The Republicans spoke for the bill and de
nounced the Alliance for deserting the
soldiers. A concurrent resolution was
adopted by the Senate this morning provid
ing tbat no adjournment shall be taken until C
auer tne appropriation and apportionment
bills have been passed.

KILLED THE MEASUKE

Anti-Discrimination Bill.
NEGATIVE REPORT MADE ON IT
By a
Earo Quorum of the Committee
Having It in Charge.
SEANOB STRUCK DUMB WITH SDEPEISE
rrnoM a staff coiiiiespondext.i
Haekisbukg, March 6. The most sur
prised man in the House this morning was
Mr. Scanor, of Indiana, when the Judiciary
General Committee reported his anti-discrimination
hill to the House with a nega
tive recommendation. It was reported
favorably last week, but was recommitted,
so that the opposition might be heard. A
meeting ot the committee was held this
morning at 8:30 o'clock, at which but C of
the 25 members were present, these being
Chairman Johnson and Messrs. Talbot,
Williams, Skinner, Kinney and W. K.
Jones. No one appeared, or has any one ap
peared, in opposition to the bill, but, with
out discussion, the former action of the com
mittee was promptly revised, and it was
reported negatively.
Messrs. Talbot, Kinney and Jones voted
for the motion, and Skinner and Williams
against it. Chairman Johnson did not vote.
So rapidly did the committee get in its
work that when Messrs. Wherry, Stewart,
and one or two other friends of the bill, got
to the meeting they found that it had ad
journed and their measure was dead. In
fact, it is asserted that no motion to adjourn
was made, the committee simply evaporat
ing, as it were.
The affair causes considerable unfavorable
comment. Of the 25 members of the com
mittee, only sir were present. Under its
rules, a quorum was present, the necessary
number having recently been reduced from
nine to five, but it is" the general opinion
that a measure in which the people have
been for years interested, and upon which
action has been promised in the platforms
of both parties, should not have been killed
by the votes of three men. Action upon a
bill of such importance might at least have
been postponed until a larger number was
present.
Members of the committee assert tbat the
blame attaches to Mr. Seanor, who insisted
that the bill be disposed of to-day, and that
he should have known that it would be
impossible to get a full attendance at that
hour on Friday morning. Mr. Seanor
hardly knows whether to regard it as a huge
joke or an outrage, but will, on Monday
evening, ofler a resolution to place the bill
on the calendar, and claims he will have the
votes to doit. Remembering the fate of the
Burdick bill, however, the prospects in this
case seem anything but rosy.

Itey burn, who as State Senator was appointed
at the 1889 session on the joint committee to
investigate the charitable and correction in
stitutions of the State, with a view to the
adoption of some more uniform system of
accounts and management that would ena
ble the Legislature to move carefully and
accurately to supervise the expenditures of
State appropriations by such Institutions,

his labors at Washington. He came to pre

held since the investigation of the Philadel--pbia

here. Ex-Representative Clay, of Elk
county, was the only absentee.
The committee held a private session, to

to its present action.
BOGUS INVESTMENT COMPANIES.
The Insurance Department Setting Itself
Right Through a Now BilL
TFEOM A STAFF COKRESFOXDEVT.J
Haerisbtjrg, March 6. The charge
having been repeatedly made that the bill
presented by Mr. Leeds as a substitute for
Mr. Stewart's bill against fraudulent bond
and investment companies was intended as
well to destroy the fraternal insur
ance societies and companies, such
as Masons, Odd Fellows, Royal
Arcanum and other similar insurance
organizations, the Insurance Department
has prepared a bill said to be in harmony
with the views of those interested in these
associations. It defines the status of frater
nal societies paying benefits upon sickness
or death of their members by mutual assess
ments, and exempts them from taxation and
from the supervision of the Insurance Com
missioner. Mr. Leeds' hill was also pre
pared by the Insurance Department, and in
view of the charges made against it, the de
partment desires to set itself right by this
bill.

TANNERS UP IN ARMS.
They Will fight the Bill to Trevent the
Pollution or Streams.
tFEOU A STAFF COBBESrO;tDETr.l
Haekisbukg, March C. Ex-Auditor
General Niles, of Tioga county, is here to
represent the tanners in their opposition to
the bill to prevent the pollution of streams.
Mr. Niles says that the bill in its present
shape would close every tannery in the
State. That interest has an annual product
of 550,000,000, and was regarded so import
ant by the entire Pennsylvania delegation
in Congress that they made a successful
fieht to keep hides upon the free list of the
McKinley bill, but a duty of 100 per cent
on hides would not be nearly so disastrous
to the business as would the passage of the
pending bill.
Mr. Jones, of Potter connty.has received
a letter from Costello & Co., operating one
of the largest tanneries in the United States,
saying that it must close at once if this bill
were to become a law. Mr. Niles and
others will appear before the Health and
Sanitation Committee on Tuesday evening,
to urge that it be at least amended by in
sisting on the 25-mile limit.

Tho State of Ohio Takes a Lesson I'rom the
Dispatch.
rerEciAi. teleobam to the DisFATcn.1
Columbus, O., March 0. Since the
President signed the direct tax bill a half
dozen bills have been introduced in the
Ohio Legislature to appropriate the funds.
Some want to use the money for public
buildings, others to reduce the public debt
and pay the interest, return it to the coun
ties which originally gave the money, and
to-day a bill was introduced which pro
poses that the fund be distributed to the
varions counties of the State, to be used by
them for improving and macadamizing the
public roads and highways. The Governor,
Secretary and Auditor of State are consti
tuted a commission to apportion the tax in
the exact proportion to the number of square
miles of territory contained within each
county. The Probate Judge, Conntr Com
missioners and the Presidents of the Boards
of Township Trustees are created a County
Commission for the proper expenditure of
the fund.
One speaker said The Pittsburg Dis
patch bad shown the importance of good
country roads in Pennsylvania, and that
already ihe eastern part of Ohio is informed
as to the necessities in this line.
THIRTEEN BOLD ROBBERIES,
All Wore Perpetrated by Three Masked
Men, Who Escaped Arrest.
Kansas City, March G. Three masked
men entered the house of Robert Patton, a
workman, near the stockyards this morniug.
Patton had just gone to work. One ot the
men intimidated Mrs. Patton with a Re
volver, while the others robbed the house,
securing $50 in money saved from Patton's
wages. Late last night three men of the
same description, also masked, met Robert
La Force, night operator of the Alton Rail
road at .Independence, as he was going
home, forced him to return to the station
and deliver to them the contents ot the cash
box, amounting to about 55.
These two latest robberies increase the list
of similar crimes that have occurred within
the paBt month to 13. AH the robberies are
believed to have been perpetrated by the
ame three men, who have had no apparent
trouble in escaping the vigilance of the
police.

GEAND JDEI TO INVESTIGATE AT ONCS
rFTXCIAL TELEOUA1I TO TBI DISPATCtM
New York, March C The first five
warrants issued by Coroner Levy to-day aa
a result of the finding of the jury which
heard the tnnnel case, were for Chaancey
M. Depew, William Rockefeller, Joseph
Park, Wilson G.Hunt and George N.Miller,
Directors of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad Company, residing
in this city. The warrants recite that the
six persons killed in the tunnel collision,
according to the jury's finding, came to
their deaths "by criminal means by the act
of the persons named in the warrants, and
they direct any sheriff, marshal or police
man to arrest the persons named."
Other warrants were made out for these
non-residents: E. H. Trowbridge, New
Haven; W. D. Bishop, Jr., Bridgeport;
Nathaniel Wheeler, Bridgeport; Henry C,
Robinson, Hartford; Edward M. Reed,
Jslew Haven; Leverett Brainard, Hartford;
William L. Squire, New Haven, and
Henry S. Lee, Springfield. If these gen
tlemen voluntarily appear to-morrow and
give bail, as it is expected they will,
extradition proceedings will not be resorted
to.
Big Ball Demanded.
Mr. Joseph Park was the first New Yorker
to arrive. He brought bis son, Robert J.
ark, to give bail for him. Coroner Levy
iixed the bonds in every case at 525,000.
President Charles P.CIjrk came in next and
surrendered himself. No warrant had been
issued for him. Mr. Clark asked the
Coroner not to have the warrants srved on
Wilson G. Hunt and George N. Miller, be
cause of their advanced 3ge.
About 4 o'clock, Mr. Loo mis, general
counsel for the New York Central, came in
and asked Coroner Levy to prepare a bond
for Dr. Depew, who was on his way down.
Half an hour latera carriage drove up, and
Dr. Depew and Cornelius Yanderbilt got
out. Dr. Depew had been there before and
showed Mr. Yanderbilt the way. Mr. Will
iam Rockefeller did not appear or send any
word. He is expected to appear to-morrow
morning.
The grand jury will probably begin its
investigation early next week.
Surprised at the Verdict.
Dr. Depew said to a reporter that the ver
dict of the Coroner's jury surprised him.
But he had reached that point in life where
he looked at everything philosophically.
He had done the best he could, and if it
were necessary for him to be tried for man
slaughter, there was nothing to do but to
submit.
"As I understand it," he continued,
"what the jury propose is that the directors,
as well as the people immediately in con
tact with the accident, should be held re
sponsible for the accident for murder in
fact that is their proposition. If any of
those gentlemen ever sat on any Board of
Directors of a railway company he ought
to know that while the Board of
Directors are the final anthoritr, yet, as a
matter of fact, the expert business or
operations of the road are matters that a
board of directors cannot amend to, and it
they attempted it they would make a failure
of. I don't think there was ever a case
where a Board of Directors ot a railroad
company have refused to purchase or supply
what the expert people who are employed
for that purpose recommend them to get,"
Steam-Heated Cars Unsafe. 3 .
"So far as beating the cars is concerned,
there 13 no railroad man intbeUnited States
who believes tbat up to the present time
steam heating is any better or safer
than the best and most improved kind
of heating by stoves. Steam heatintr
came into this State I think it exists
if at ,,, in onv 0De or two other Slates
under great pressure of public clamor. The
New York Central road, as soon as the law
passed, which gave the authority and also
assumed on the part of the Legislature the
responsibility, obeyed the law and adopted
steam heating.
"I have conversed since this accident with
the railway men who were in my office yes
terday from all parts of the United States.
Tne ablest and most expert men there are
iu the business, and they say that the present-condition
of beating by steam they are
in constant terror of what miy happen.
The conditions are exactiv these:
You get a stove of the latest
improved pattern. The coal is
hermetically sealed in. The stove is an
chored down to the floor, so that it cant be
I knocked over, and then it is confined in an
iron or a zinc pen with an iron door. The
car is not heated directly from the stove,
but from heated water which runs through
pipes all around the car, and the water is
heated bv the stove.
Only Danger From Collision.
"The. only accident that can possibly
occnr is that a stove in the collision shall be
so smashed as to set fire to the car. Col
lisions are very rare in proportion to the
number of trains that are run and the num
ber of people who travel. They are so rare
that the accident companies all make
fortunes out of insuring men for
55,000 for 25 cents. The New Haven road,
for instance, in, I think, 18 years has had
no accident from stoves, although it carries
12,000,000 of people a, year."
The State Board of Railway Commission
ers heard testimony at the Chamber oi Com
merce concerning the collision, but obtained
nothing new.
