Uueeau of The Dispatch, ) WA&nrsGTox, D. C Jan. SS, With this day's reading iu Congress of the concluding correspondence between the United States and Chile, the whole subject loses the character of exciting "news" which it has borne for several months. It has largely increased the sale of live news papers, has put upon exhibition the diplo matic skill of statesmen of at least two countries, the patriotism and jingoism of tile people of the United States, and has given even the most blase ladies and gentle men ot society something to arouse their in terest, if not to fire their souls with enthus iasm. It is hard to part with the "Chile American imbrogio," as some linguists hae termed it, without a feeling of regret It was so exciting and yet so utterly devoid of danger. While the reading of the matter sub mitted to-day was listened to in the House and Senate with deep attention, it was quite evident that the tense feeling of last Monday was lacking. To-day it was a merely half lazy, respectful curiosity to Lnow jus: what -words the Chileans had used while on their knees making a prayer lul apology to the American eagle. Once or twice a laugh rippled arouud at tome of the crude expressions in the note of Minister Montt to Secretary Blaine, due doubtless to the translation, and once or twice also at the peppery reply of Mr. Blaine, which in some passages narrowly t;capcd being ill-natured and undiplomatic. It'ain is Again a Candidate. At the close there was a weak attempt at applause. It was a failure. The matter v. as ended iu co far as Congress was con cerned, and the interest was gone. Mr. Harrison's message is not now mentioned as rn instrument that can be used effectively foi li s rcnominstion. It has passed into histcry only to be resurrected as a prece dent. Mr. Blaine is again a candidate. At least, he has not yet signified that he will Lot be. Had war broken out no name would haic been thought of for the Repub lican nomination but that of Harrison. Xo."- Mr. Blaine is again "in it," either in his own or Mr. Harrison's interests, and the public, haing ceased to care for the Chilean question, will again wait to -hear Mr. Blaine define himself. The only important points remaining to be settled between the United States and Chile are the identity of the receiver of the effects of the bankrupt sensation and the amount f funds that will be found due to the United States. Of course, a liberal in demnity will be insisted on for the wounded tailors and for the relatives of the mur dered ones. As to the indemnity claimed by the United States there is a great difference of opinion. Many good people seem to think that the pound of flesh should be exacted to the last atom, but it is quite evident that tiiere is a dissatistaction, which will grow rather than decrease, to let our little cpusin off as lightly as possible in the matter of "war" indemnity. M l'attbe Indemnity Will Be. Were the whole amount charged up agaihtt Chile that has been expended on ac count of the diplomatic correspondence, uh-ch alone wili cost about $100,000, and of i.e preparations lor war, it would run into the millions. A great bulk ofthi, however, has been expended simply in the hastening of naval work already in band, for repair which should have been made and which w ould have been made anyway and for sup plies which can be used with little or no loss. A high official of the State Department said to me to-day that te hoped the indem nity would be fixed A a little more than a nominal sum. In other quarters it is sug gested that the United States offer to accept in lieu of money the Island of Juan Fernan dez, at the western entrance to the Straits of Magellan as a coaling station and harbor of refuge. This would be a valuable acqui sition iu case of future trouble, as. it could be imprcgnably fortified and made to com mand absolutely the passage of the straits. Certainly Chile could better give away this island and a coaUng station or two on her northern coast beside, than to pay any large amount of cash. A rumor is abroad tbis evening that Min ister Egan has been recalled, but it ii quite premature. The President has not so soon Jorgptten his high praise of Mr, Egan in his message of Monday. It would be an act of peace toward Chile, in her pitiable plight, to take away from her capital the most of fensive American in it, but the prospects are not good for that step unless a Con, gressicnal inquiry should suggest its wisdom. Power Pat Into .Republican Bands. By the new rules which were practically adopted to-day the unwieldy Democratic I BOOM majority of the House puts it in the power ot the comparatively small Republican mi nority to control the business of the House. 'Jfo way is provided for counting a quorum except by a call of the House, though that is not of importance while the Democrats have a quorum of their own party. It is pretty sale to assert that if they had elected only a small majority they would have ac cepted the Beed plan of counting all mem bers present, whether voting ornot, which, indeed, ii the plan in all civilized parlia ments. But aside from the question of a quorum, there is no end to tillibustering by making motions for purposes of obstruction, and one obstreperous member may lock the leg islation interminably, as Mr. Oats, of Ala bama, did three years ago in opposition to the direct tax bill, when he kept the major ity that evidently favored the bill at bay for 15 days and then forced a postponement. To atone for the weakness of the rules in this respect the way is left open for "riders" on appropriation bills, which means that legislation, no matter how pernicious, hav ing no reference to appropriations, may be attached to appropriation bills at any stage of their passage, and forced through witli the vital and necessary legislation of the bill providing money for governmental ex penses. For long years such indirect but absolute methods of seenring the passage ot bills which would otherwise fail has been denounced by the best statesmanship of nil civilized countries, but the Democrats of this Congress are fearless and seize upon it eagerly. Reed Speaks in a Uappj Vein. Ex-Speaker Reed's speech upon the new rules uas in his happiest vein, and the Democrats joined with the Republicans in hearty laughter at his enjoyable sarcasm and humor. Mr. MeMillin in his reply was dull, as usual, but he referred to one matter, while it touched a sore spot in the sensibilities of every member of the nouse, at the same time provoked a smile. He asserted that the Republican House assisted a Republican Senate to purchase a hotel by placing the bill for the purchase as a rider on an appro bation bill. Of course, such a matter would come properly within an appropria tion bill, but it is something that has raused not a little comment, and will cause much more. About three years ago a real estate specu lator built a "row" ot fine houses on First street and on the corner of First and B, fronting the Capitol grounds, erected a sub stantial building arranged for a family hotel. In that capacity it failed, but the speculator, or combination of speculators, turned for relief to Congress and disposed of the hotel to the Government for the good round sum of f 135,000. Senator Take All the Utile Flams. It was intended to be used for committee rooms for the House and Senate, but the members of the latter body, accustomed to taking all the good things within their reach and the hotel being quite near the Senate wing of the Capitol, at once appro priated every room, and when members bf the House begged for lodging they were in formed that they would have to occupy cots in the corridors. This was quite characteristic of the Senate and it is characteristic of the House to meekly aequiesce. The House votes for a clerk for each Senator, but dares not pro vide in a similar wav for members of the House, and moreover, listens without mur mur to Senate criticisms of the proposition for House clerks. Congress purchases a Jiotel'for additional committee rooms and every inch of space is immediately taken by members of the Senate. For what purpose no one seems to know. There is mueh mystery about it. It is asserted that each Senator has a room, elegantly furnished at the expense of the Government. Inquiry has failed to show definitely for what they are used. On the outside of the entrance door is a shingle, which announces that within is the office of a Supervising Inspector of some kind of the United States, and that is the sole indication that the building is used by the Govern ment. The elegant private rooms within are not labeled and they are sacred from the intrusion of plebiean members of the House and other objectionable characters. Mysterious Things That Are Surmised. That they are employed only for pare and holy purppses goes without saying, when it is known that their onlv inhabitants are Senators. At least the public may rest assured that nothing more doubtful than an innocent game of draw poker, with a modest limit, is ever admitted there. Whether the former hotel bar is secretly in operation, without license, like the bars of the Senate and House restaurants,cannot be discovered. That there is any dark and damning mys tery I do npt believe fo a moment, but the very fact that there is a mystery, and that nve, the people and the House of Represent atives dp not know what it is, is highly exasperating. One day, not distant, there will be an explosion in the House about this matter, much more violent than Mr. McMillin's brief outburst of to day, and somebody will demand to know what the Senators of the United States want of those snug nooks of woms, each Senator having one for himself. The House might in a similar manner have appropriated the great stone mansion of General Butler near its own south wing of the Capitol,. purchased-a few years ago for a large sum, but the timid Representatives permitted its spacious, frescoed rooms to be filled up with documents and document clerks and other trumpery and get no good of it whatever. They do things much better at the north wing, Lightner. WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. Bow the 'aval Force Was Prepared to Benin Operations Immense Shipments or Coal Forwarded to South .American Ports for Immediate T-'sr. Washington, D. C, Jan. 28. It was openly admitted at the Xavy Department to-day, now that there is no longer any reason for concealment, that this Govern ment was fully prepared to enforce its de mands against Chile in case they had not been secured by the more pacific method of negotiation through diplomatic channels. The entire available naval force had been concentrated so as to be able to make au al most concerted attack ou Chilean ports. The Pacifio tquadron, consisting of San Francisco, Charleston, Baltimore, Boston and Yorktown, wonld have been speeaily reinforced by the South Atlantic squadron, now at Montevideo, consisting of the Chi cago, Atlanta, Bennington and Essex, and the Philadelphia and Concord, of the North Atlantic squadron. The two last-named v essels are'now ou their way to Montevideo. The Concord arrived at Bahia to-day, and the Philadelphia is probably beyond that port, on her way to Montevideo. Should she touch at Bahia, it is probable that she and the Concord will be ordered back to the West Indies. The Miantonomoh, Newark and Vesuvius also were held in Teserve for possible war service. At the same time great stores ot coal, am munition and provisions have been for warded on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, so that the fleet should be amply supplied in case foreign ports should be closed to tbem. Arrangements had been made lor the immediate use of a number of transports and auxiliary cruisers, and the steamship Ohio was to be fitted out at Bos ton as a repair ship. Four steamships were chartered from the Earn,Iine Steamship Company, laden with coal and sent to Mon tevideo. It is believed that one of them has already reached Montevideo and that the others will arrive there ip a short time. These vesse'B were to be used as coalers, and would have plied between the naval fleet and home ports. The steamer Benito had been char tered for similar service on the Pacific coast and other arrangements made, so as to se cure a delcry of 10,000 tons ot coal a month at a point convenient for the naval vessels. There was contemplated an early seizure or a Chilean port for use as a base of sup plies. These preparations entailed great expense, roughly estimated at aboutf 2,000. 000. The foregoing estimate includes coal, the additional expense attending the push ing ot work on vessels now under contract and the extra work at the different yards and shops. The orders of officers and men to the Ohio have been revoked and the work of fitting her out suspended. Thedepart ment will now be busy for a long time un doing many of its preparations and restor ing the naval establishment to its usual basis. ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT. Allegations Tbiu Minister Montt Was De ceived by Secretary Blalue Egan De nies That tie Eaid the Questions at Issue Were Being Settled, Santiago, CniLE, Jan, 28. There is a much quieter feeling here than was evident yesterday and during the past few days. The Chilean officials, however, continue to express surprise at the ultimatum forwarded from President Harrison. The Associated Press correspondent in this city to-day had an interview with one of the most promi nent officials Of the Chilean Foreign Offiee, The correspondent was courteouslv met and the conversation was free and cordial. In the course of the interview it was shown very plainly that the Foreign Office would not say in a direct manner that Min ister Montt had been deceived or had been misled by any note or word received by him from the American Secretary of State, but it was evident that the official thought so. He said that Mr. Blaine had all alonggiven Montt to understand that a settlement of the serious controersy bctjveen the two Republics was being reached, and that Mr. Blaine a month ago had proposed a sub mission to arbitration of the outrageous as sault upon the men from the United States Steamer Baltimbre, and had also agreed to accept Senor Montt's terms for the with drawal of the Matta telegram. It is asserted here that Minister Egan in formed the Chilean Government a week ago that the questions at issue were being settled. Mr. Egan has declared that he said 'nothing of the kind. On the night of the reception of the ultimatum from the Presi dent of the United States a cablegram was received here from Minister Montt advis ing the Chilean Government to stand firm, as all was favorable in Washington. There is intense anxiety here as to the out come of the situation. Everyone, from the highest in official station to the most humble citizen, wishes to know if America accepts the terms of Chile's reply to President Har rison's ultimatum. FACTOBY IKBPECIION. Chief Watchoru Files His Interesting An nual Beport. Haebisbubg, Jan. 28, Special Chief Factory Inspector Robert Watcborn has just submitted his semi-annual report to Prof. Albert S. Bolles, Chief of the Bu reau of Industrial Statistics of the Internal Affairs Department. Among those factories that manifest a willingness to accept and comply with the Chief Factory Inspector's department giving all help possible to make the law a success, he. jneaiiona Jones &r Laughlins', PHtsTnnTjpEu'P'rThonispn Iron and Steel Works, Braddock; the Pennsyl vania machine shops, Altoona;- Weyinaa Bros.' Tobacco Company, Pittsburg; John Wannamaker's mercantile house, Philadel phia, and the Harrisburg silk mill. Alter suggesting several changes in the law he says Miss O'Reilly spent a month in the western part of the State, all of which is included in Inspector Baker's reports for the month, they having traveled together over the territory with much advantage to the department. The work noted in the re port has not been accomplished without much oppositiou, amounting at times to posi tive obstruction on the part of factory .own ers. The utmost care has been taken to avoid useless and unnecessary legal strife. To this end he addressed a card to the manu facturers, owners of factories, employers, etc., requesting a speedy and voluntary compliance with the law goveruing the department. The report concludes as follows: "It is my ambi tion to have the many inferior death traps, called factories, imitate the worthy examples set by the firms now com plying with the factory inspection law. As this work of inspecting factories so vitally concerns either directly or indirectly the whole people, it should meet with the' cor dial support of the general public and compliance of all manufacturers and em ployers within the meaning of the act."

ITtlDAX i Eevcaled Itytlie Strange Story of a Supposed Texas Pauper Suicide- THE FACE OF THE EARTH Not Large Enough to Hide the Rus sian Murderer Padlewsky. , TERRORS OP HIS IMAGINATION Caused bj Ills Assassination of the Tyrant General Eeliverstoff. j JOURNALISTS AIDED IN HIS BSCAPS 'SPECIAL TKLEGKAX TO THE PISPATCn.l San Antonio, Tex., Jan. 28. In the potter's field in this city lies buried Ojlto Hauser, a suicide, according to the finding of the local magistrate; but the records, of the inquest are missing from the County Clerk's office, and, it is believed, bave been stoleji. It is odd that the record of a pau per's suicide should be stolen, and such a theft seems doubly strange when the fact is made known, beyond question, that tills Otto Hauser, the pauper, was npne other than the Nihilist assassin fair whom, the.se 13 months, the agents of the Russian polite have been searching the face of the earih non other than that Stanislaus Padlewsky, who, on December 18, 1890, murdered in the Hotel de Bade, at Paris, General Michael de Selivcrstoff, Chief of the Russian secret police of that city. The story of this act of Nihilist ven geance, of the plots that preceded and pro voked ii, of the escape of tbe assassin from Paris by the help -ot two newspapermen, his Concealment by studenfs in New York City, and his suicide, as it is called, in Texas, a victim of poverty and of terrors that may or may not have been terrors of the imagination only, is a story such as js rarely told. A bhlnlng Marie for Nihilists. General Michael de Seliverstoff was a great light in the secret service of Russia, having once been Chief of the Police Po litique, with the entire management of the Russian secret service all over the world. He was responsible for the bauishmeut of 12,000 rnen and women into Siberia, and he was one of the shining marks nt which Nihilist vengeance was aimed. General Seliverstoff was not, however, courageous. After a comparatively short service as Chief of the Third Section he had been relieved of his office by the Czar for having allowed his fear of being assassinated, as his prede cessor, General Mesentzoff, had been, tp temper the severity ef his persecution of Nihilists. Then he was placed in charge of the Paris' division of the secret service. Here heTiad lived for ten years in an atmosphere of; treachery and intrigue, commanding great influence. He was noted, at least in the re-'. rortof his enemies, for the, number of. -hi amours untHhe. low tjuallty'of hem " Un December ih, ltsyu, senverstojt was found dead at his desk, a bullet in his head. The deed was easily traced to Stanislaus Padlewsky, a young Pole employed at a Russian club' called the "Salles Franco Russes." The murderer took advantage of the opportunity of a personal meeting with the General, which the delivery of an invi tation from the club afforded him. Nihilist Vengeance Overtook Dim. In spite of the efforts of the police to keep the assassination secret, the news got abroad and created an enormous sensation. There was no doubt in the public mind and in the mind of the police that it was an act of Nihilist vengeance. It became known that Padlewsky was the -friend and associate of one Mendelssohn, an avowed Nihilist. The first move of the police was to close the Salles Franco-Russes, and later every sus pect in the haunt of Nihilists in Paris was raided and many arrests made. Persons were arrested at various distant places, sus pected of being either Padlewsky or of aid ing his crime or escape. These were brought to Paris, and eventually were all dis charged. At dawn of the morning of October 28, 1891, the first passers through Maverick Park, this city, found the dead body of a man, with a small pistol within reach of the outstretched right hand. The body was identified as that of Otto Hauser, a youqg Russian Hebrew, who bad been in the city about six months. Jnstice Anton Adam held an inquest, but, strange to say, the proceedings of the inquiry are missing from the District Clerk's office, and are believed to have been stolen. A long and futile search was made for them yesterday. The Slayer Tarns Tip as a Coachman. Hauser had worked for B. Ennecke about three months as family coachman. Mr. Ennecke eavs he could speak no English, but was a highly educated man. He was diffident, and evaded conversation with any of tbe family. He was always expecting a registered letter, and even after he left Mr. Ennecke jie called at the house daily to in quire if any letter had arrived for him. Finallv, unable to secure other employ ment and the expected letter not having arrived, Hanscr sems to have given up the struggle and decided to put an end to his life. It was npt until December 13, four weeks after the murder, that tbe -Paris police and the public knew what had become of Pad lewsky. The truth was revealed by the voluntary coniession or several persons who had aided the fugitive's escape. These con fessions were made through the newspapers. The first confession was made by, George Poidebard de Labruyere, a Parisian journal ist. His object appears to have been solely a desire for such notoriety as might come of bis exploit to him, and to his news paper. On December 13, 1S91, De Labruyere published in the Parisian news paper.'AEWafr, a full account of the escape of l'adleusky. A Woman Flgnres in the Escape. He said that on November 21, three days after the assassination, while he was dining with a Mme. Severine, an unknown woman, blonde, delicate and pretty called at the house and asked to speak to him. Leaving the others in the dining room he and Mme. Seyerine went into the library. The woman told him that Padlewsky "was still in Paris and said: "I am sent to you to know if you are willing to aid in saving him." De Labruyere consented. He asked for two or three days to prepare his plan, which when developed was to take the assassin boidlv ont ot the country in the character of a duellist, with whom he, De Labruyere, was about to fight on the frontier. Pad lewsky was to take thp role of a doctor. For seconds De Labrnyere chose two mili tary friends. Then De Labruyere had in serted in the journals the announcement that he and a mysterious opponent were soon to figlit a duel in the Tyrol. On the night ot tbe flight De Labruyere met the fugitive at an obscure corner in Paris. The kuperintendept of the railroad, who hacl read of tbe coming duel in the papers.gaveDeLsbrnycre anote to the super intendent pf the Modane Railroad, intended ic miss the duelists' over the frontier with out Custom House inspection. At the. I IILIST .emc JANUARY 29. 3892. rontier De Labruyere and PadlewiKy gave the seconds the slip and escaped over the frontier together. De Labrnyere bade the assassin farewell at Trieste and returned to Paris alone. VadlewsVy tanils In New Torlt. In consequence of the publication of this confession, the truth of which was found by intestigatiou to be unimpeachable, the police placed De Labruyere under arrest. But he was subsequently released on the grounds that it was not proved that the per son whom De Labruyere took across the frontier was in fact Padlewsky. On the forenoon of February 13, J.891, among the cabin passengers who landed in New York from the steamship Itruria was an ereet, fine-looking man, who wore a high silk hat and a handsome cape coat of Paris ian make. He went at once to a houe in a side street in Hoboken. The traveler was Stanislaus Padlewsky. His host was a man well known among the socialistic agitators of this city. Padlewsky was ex pected. After dinuer be told the complete story of his crime and subsequent advent ures, and by one of his hearers the facts of the present article were furnished. Bow the General Was Killed. Padlewsky said that the idea of killing ocuversiuii urafc ucuurreu iu juiu wucu uc found himself alone with tbe General in his private office.. The litter had made a proposition to him to become a spy on the Russian colony. This so incensed him that tbe moment the General turned his back, Padlewsky put his revolver close to his head and tired. His adroit escape, his temporary refuge with Nihilist friends in "Pans, and his flight to Trieste coincide entirely with the published confessions of Labruyere. Thence from place to place the murderer hurried, driven by fears founded or un founded, which very soon developed. A chance conversation heard in a barber's shop drove him to Malta, and there the sight of strange people who seemed to eye him curiously, made him long fpr England. Then it was that a Nihilist friend ren dered him a vital service. He went to Palermo, passed himself off for Padlewsky, gave himself up to the police, and thus di verted attention from the real fugitive for several ul liable days. From Malta Padlewsky fled to Gibraltar, meaning to embark tor England and thence to the United States. There he heard talk of the capture of Padlewsky, and knew that his friend was carrying out bis promise. Ills Final Adventures and Hardships. After various hardships and adventures Padjewskv finally landed in New York. His Hoboken friends in order to avoid sus picion had him fitted out with American clothes and secured him lodgings in Fif teenth street where he remained for ten days. Then it became evident that tbe man was being watched by strangers, so he was hurried to a small suburban town. On March 4 he was put upon a steamship bound for a Texan port. He carried with him a letter of introduction ton personal friend of the Hoboken Nihilist who liyed in Saa Antonio. This letter recommended Hauser in terms which would be understood to mean that the bearer was in retirement. But he did not tell him, and has never told that Hauser was Padlewsky. This San Antonio friend got Padlewsky a place as farm hand. For a time the latter corresponded with his Hoboken friends with some frequency, but finally ceased writing without explana tion or warning along in October last. Then it was-suspected that he had met with foul play. The Hoboken people wrote to Selma, and received the reply that Hauser , had committed suicide. TRUMBULL SCORES EGAN ASD SATS TnEnAKBOJtlSG OP EEF "tXGEns WAS ENnuiffiVWKONG. Be DIamps Captain Schley for AUowln? So Many Men to Go Ashore The Govern ment Accused of aialtloc; a Diplomatic Blunder. New Yobe, Jan. 2a Special, Son. Ricardo L. Trumbull, member of the Chilean Congress, and the secret aent of the Con gressional party, who came to the United States to buy arms during the revolution, stood before 200 members of the Reform Club, at Fifth avenue and Twenty-seventh street, for an hour and a half to-night dis cussing the strained relations between the United States aud Chile. Mr. Trumbull said he intended to be rank. Minister Egan and other United States authorities stationed in Chile did not retain a neutral position, he said. He charged Admiral Brown, of the San Fran cisco, with having carried the news of the landing of the Cpngressionalists at Quintero. and charged Minister Cgan with having been a partisan of Balmaceda. The people of Chile revolted at the idea of Minister Egan's harboring the refugees, some of whom were notorious murderers. These refugees, Mr. Trumbull asserted, endeav ored to incite an attack upon tbe American Legation to draw the United States into hostilities. Mr. Trumbull dwelt at considerable length upon the Baltimore affair. He believed the President was right when he said there was a strong feeling of animosity among the Chileans against the American sailors, but he did not think tbe attack was premedi tated. He thought tne trouble all began in a drunken row. He blamed Captain bchley for allowing more than 100 men to go ashore without notifying the authorities. If Captain Schley had been quoted cor rectly about his desire for war, Mr. Trum bull said, he could only regret that a cooler headed and less bellicose officer was not in Chile at the time. In closing he declared that in not recalling Minister Egan he thought that the Government made a diplo matic blunder. IW0 KIIXI0HB INVOLVED.

The creditors had formulated a plan whereby the failure might be averted and the trouble warded off from other houses who would be aflected by this crash; but to-day W. H.

Mr. iTard expressed no surprise, but appeared to be momentarily agitated. He was taken to tbe United States Marshal's office in the postoffice, and at 12 o'clock was given a hearing by Commissioner Craig, The warrant was supported by .the affi davit of Albert R. Barrett, one of the ex perts of the Treasury Department engaged on the books of the Keystone Bank.- The charge is ''aiding and abetting" Charles Lawrence and Gideon W. Marsh during the period from March, 1889, to January, 1891, in misapplying 0.5,003 of the funds of the Kevstone Bank, in violation ot section C.209 of the Revised Statutes. . Tard Kot Knocked Down by Surprise. The warrant was issued to-day with the utmost secrecy, as it is alleged there was an intimation that Yard was preparing to leave the city next week. Yard came to town from his seashore residence at Belmont, on a morning train, apparently unprepared for the move that placed him in custody of the Federal authorities for complicity in the colossal thefts that wrecked the Keystone Bank. He did not show the slightest sur prise, however, and with, the two deputies started up Chestnut street toward Maishal Leed's office. They stopped on the way at the office of Mayer Sulzberger, Yard's coun sel, who joined them. In the Marshal's office Yard and his counsel engaged in a long and earnest conversation, and when Commissioner Craig announced his readi ness to hear the testimony in the case the famous seashore real estate promoter's com posure was unshaken. District Attorney Read announced that, owing to the absence of Mr. Barrett, who made the affidavit, and the lack of Import ant tJoeumentaTTtesrimony. he desired si ' continuance of the case for a few days, in spector Barrett, he explained, evidently did not expect tho arrct to be .made so soon, or he would have been on Tiand, and-the evi dence upon which the affidavit was based was not discovered until yesterday. A Hij: Tlall Bond Demanded. The only witness called was Deputy Myers, who made the arrest, and testified to that fact and to the identity of Yard, with whom he is personally acquainted. The District Attorney, addressing the Commissioner, pointed out the gravity of the offense with which Yard w- charged, and the importance of an adequate bond. He explained thai it involved complicity in the crimes ot Gideon W. Marsh, now a fugitive from justice, and of Charles Law rence, now in the penitentiary for aiding in the looting of the Keystone National Bank. The large amount, the theft of which Yard was accused of aiding, 5C9.C0O, also made the bail a terious consideration. The Commissioner asked Yard if he had anything to say, and the latter failing to re ply, Lawyer Sulzberger argned that, as his client had been in this jurisdiction for more than a year since the latest date of the offense charged in the affidavit against him, it was unfair to ask for bail beyond an or dinary and reasonable amount. He criti cised the District Attorney for bringing the suit before he had his witnesses ready, when he might readily have waited three or four days longer. Commissioner Craig said the prosecution was certainly entitled to a continuance, and fixed the bail at 515,000, holding Yard for a hearing until next Tuesday at noon. A Slight Scurry for Ball. Yard, who, during the entire proceedings, had observed tbe utmost nonchalance, study ing with apparent interest some plans of town lots, was unmoved upon hearing the large amount of bail, and, accompanied by Deputy Marshal Marshall, stepped into Marshal Leed's private office, where he en gaged himself calmly jotting down some figures on a memorandum slip. His counsel scurried off to procure bail. Yard was asked by a Dispatch reporter if there was anything he would like to say concerning his arrest. He smiled pleasantly as he answered: "There is really nothing I have to say. I know nothing whatever about it. You are aware of my previous disposition not to talk for publication." It was just 2 o'clock when Jeweler Simon Mnhr and Joseph T. Jackson, the real estate agent, the latter, Yard's brother-in-law, came into the Marshal's office, and, after shaking hands with the defendant with great cordiality, and whispering some thing to him, went over to the Commission er's office and announced to Mr. Craig their readiness to enter the required security for the defendant's appearance next Tuesday. The bond is a joint one, the signers being equally liable for the entire amount Mr. Muhr is Yard's bondsman in the sum of J 10,000 in the case against him charging him with conspiring with John Bardsley fro ex tort money from banking institutions for interest on city deposits. HE BELIEVED IS HUMAH SACBIFICE. Tho Aged Founder of the Stranjto Llbbjlle Sct Dies at Granjer, "S. T. NEW York, Jan. 28. Special Joseph Libby, founder of, and for 50 years, aided by his wife, the leader of a religious sect in Allepany county known as the Libbyites, died Monday in Granger, that county, aged 92 years. His wife, Hannah, as she had always prophesied, survived him only a few hours. She was 82. The Libbvitcs are few. They looked upon Libby and his wife as inspired prophets. They believe in blopd sacrifices and offer up sheep and cattle aL, stated times. Origin ally Libbv, the founder of the sect, insisted that they must offer human sacrifices' to atone forthelr sins, and 40 years ago they actually attempted to make a sacrifice of this kind.

CONFESSES. ArSTBIA'S FEMALE FIEND GItOWS HYSTEBICAL JX CODRT. She Describes How the Eight Hapless Ser vant Girls Were Strangled, Stripped and Bobbed Police Tell the Story of Her Husband' Hiding From Jostles. Vienna, Jan. 2a At the trial to-day of Frank Schneider and his wife, Rosalie, ac cused of having decoyed eight young women to tbeir home as servants and then murder ing and robbing them, tbe evidence pointed so strong to the woman's guilt that she at last broke down completely and has now acknowledged her complicity in tLe affair. Tbe accused couple were both placed on the stand to-day and gave concurrent evi dence to the effect that Mrs. Schneider, after her husband had strangled the various unfortunate girls, had helped to drag their bodies to the recesses of an adjacent wood, where, safe from observation, she would strip all the clothing from them and that she would afterwards sell the spoil ob tained by the murder. While the woman wai being questioned by the Judge, she startled all present by DreaKing one into a nt oi nysiencai laugnter, which lasted for quite a long time. The collapse of the prisoner caused a very pain ful scene, and the trial was interrupted for some time. The police officers who had worked on the case told how they had started to look for Schneider, who had fled when he became aware that the authorities had learned of his crimes, and how, after a long and per sistent search, they had finally run him down. The officers testified that Schneider had hid for a fortnight in the house pf Baroness Falke, where Ills .wife, after the police liad got on the track of the murder ers, had secured employment as a servant under an assumed name. The woman secreted her husband under her bed, where lie remained hidden all the tiine the officers were seeking his where abouts. During the day he wonld remain secure in his place of concealment, only venturing out after tbe members of the household had retired for the night, when his wife would supply him with food, sur reptitiously obtained. TWO MAIDS WANTED TO WED. Their Strange Mania Led to the Murder of Freda Ward by Alice Mitchell at Mem phis Her Fellow-Prisoner's Father Fears for His Child's Safety. Memphis, Jan. 2a Alice Mitchell and Lillie Johnson spent last night together in their room at the jail. The father of Lillie also remained in the office of the jaiL He is fearful that Alice will do his daughter some bodily harm, and this fear is shared by the most of his family. All efforts to inter view Miss Mitchell have failed, but this morning a reporter learned from good au thority what passed between her and her counsel. On other subjects she seemed to be perfectly rational and did not realize the enormity of the deed. "I killed Freda," said she, "because I loved her and she refused to marry me. I asked her to marry me three times and at last she consented. We were going to be married and goto St. Louis." "Wbat did yon intend to do in St. Louis?" asked one of her attorneys. "Oh, I don't know, but when Freda promised to marry me I was so happy. I sent her an engagement ring and she'wore it a time, but when it was returned to me I was miserable. I could not bear to be separated from her, and I resolved to kill her. 1 would rather she were dead than away from roc "Ob, mamma," she said, "if I could only see her! Please let me go to see her. I wonld be so happy," When the permission was refused she broke into a torrent of tears, not for having killed Freda, but for the separation. The letters that she wrote to Freda are full of the most endearing terms, and go to show that the girl eagerly looked forward to tbe time when she could make Freda her wife. Strange to say, from what can be learned, Freda herself seemed to be infatuated with Alice and willingly assented to the pro posed marriage. The affair was to have been in the nature ot an elopement. The grand jury will investigate the case to morrow. GAEZA. A BLIPPEEY FELLOW. While BAnsers Think' They Have Him, Jle'a at the Head of an Army in Mexico. San Antonio, Tex, Jan. 28. An un confirmed telegram was received here to day from Eagle Pass, that Garza is now thought to be in Hexico with an army of 4,000 men, which force is being rapidly in creased. It was further stated that Garza contemplated au attack on La Vegas, op posite Del Kim. This news is discredited, and the revolu tionist chief is believed to be still dodging about in thp bush on the Texas side of the Lower Rio Grande border. General Mab rey, in command of the Texas Rangers, is basing bis operations on the latter theory, and with the detachments of experienced scouts is scouting through tbe late turbulent section between San Diego and Laredo.

The fifth annual banquet of the Pittsburg , Pres3 Club has come and gone. The affair was held last night at Hotel Duquesne, and was a success. The principal speech of" the evening was that of the Hon. John DaTzellj on Pittsburg and its resources. In the course of bis remarks Mr. Dalzell gave the first.' positive intimation of his intention to sup-l port the Erie Ship Canal project. It was 7:45 before the order was given to march to the banquet hall. The members ' and guests assembled, headed by the Presi dent, to the sweet strains by Gemert's or-' chestra, made a sortie on the viands ini waiting to be devoured. The room was' most tastefully decorated and tha-1 display of flowers was most lavish. La France and Waterville roses, lillies of1 the valley, violets and carnations bios-! somed every few feet on the four longj tables. Before the speakers at the fable oC honor, the chief trinmph of the florist's art was to be seen. It consisted of a blue satin ' pedestal with American beauty roses blush-'. ing in the center, and rare orchids spilling j odor3from cornucopias at the ends, while i masses of roses and maiden hair, fern's in-' tervened. The floral decorations did not, as they, sometimes do at banquets, interfere with the vision of those seated at the. table, for ' they were all arranged in flat rather than. I elevated designs. Beautiful Floral Decorations. The floral decoration furnished byg. Messrs. John Iw & A. Murdoch were re- markably beautiful. The office of the Hote? Duquesne and (he approaches to the dinin room were embowered in palms and ferns an , a screen of greenery concealed Gerneifs Orchestra in the HalL The tables in tha dining room looked like flower beds, Ee tween the small palms and ferns in pots were baskets of plants and flowers, and the com bination of fragrance and color, it can be imagined, wa3 delicious. The menu was handsome and costly and reflected credit on Charles Reese, who de signed and drew the sketches illustrative of newspaper and Press Clnb life, with which it was adorned. It was engraved and printed in colors by the Pittsburg Photo-Engravins Company, and altogether the little book of four solid pages, tied with white ribbon, will prove a valuable souvenir of the fifth annual banquet. After the menu had been throughly dis-, cussed, the toastmaster, W. H. Gutelius, in a few befitting remarks, introduced Miss Cara Reese, the only woman newspaper representative present, who responded to the toast pf "The AVoman in Journalism."' A Charming Talk by Cara Beese. Miss Reese said: The fact is recognized and accepted that since the coming of the woman writer into the sphere of active; newspaper work, the press ha zealously guarded her Interest, tongue and pen have paid their trfbnte to her worth, and every stcD or her advance has received that hearty . approval which has done so much to Incita ' .- frn-ttt tn -a11 'P-Iia winnf:. anhfft .Aft gives answer to tho query concerning! wonun's capability for the work, the dntyi faithfully performed year after year, reveals tne scope ot her enuurance. wima tne zeai with which she seeks all tbat is brightest and be3t, proves the crowning cnaracterutio or her commercial value.

President ot the Holy Ghost College, who responded to the toast, "The Mission of ths Press." During his remarks he said: The Mission of the Press. There is lit my mind nothing so soul-inspiring us the consciousness of having a "mission." It is this which has girded and sandaled spurred and sustained In every age the apostles of religion and the apostles of civilization. It Is this which has Incited so many, many members or your profession to exhaust the oil of their midnight lamp, and with It the oil of their own vitality, or to brave at tho imminent peril of their lives the dangers or neld and Hood, or to stem, at v' the risk of obloquy, the storm,andorrent of prrj udlce and pasion. Nov., if I were asked to particularize tha scope and purport of the mission of tha newspaper press, I sbonld say that It Is two fold. Firstfy, to chronicle lalthfally an focus in suitable form beyond tbe reade eye the most interesting sayings, doinza s happenings of the cotemporary world: a secondly, to express and bring to bear passing occurrences, the universal sensoa rnnselence of mankind.
