Pa.. Fob. !. There was no evidence in the early part of the senate's session this morning of the lively time the body was to have shortly after noon. The destruction of the cap Itol as a matter of course, was upper most in the minds of the legislators and furnished the theme for most of the conversation. The debate which on sued on the reception of the Ualdwin house resolution authorizing and re questing the governor to select an ar chitect to prepare plans for a new cap itol building, the same to be submit ted to the legislature and heads of de partment for their inspection, was par ticipated In by half a dozen senators. A motion to pass the resolution had been made when Mr.'Losch moved that it be referred to the committee on pub lic buildings and grounds. This motion prevailed. The Import of the resolution was not fully undei stood and after Lieutenant Governor Lyon, who was In the chair, declared the motion carried, there were calls for a second reading which wns given. Mr. Grady declared the word "select" had been changed to "solicit" the latter word appearing In the second reading. He charged that the change had been made on the lloor of the senate and characterized it as a forgeiy. Mr. Gobln Informed the senate that lie had been reliably told the word "solicit" appeared in the resolution as It passed the house, but that nn error had been made In transcribing.1 Mr. Grady expressed himself as be ing satlsllcd. Mr. iiiffman, Lancas ter, thought such haste In the matter of a new capltol was unwise, and as serted that all the architects and con tractors in the state should be given an opportunity of submitting plans and making bids, lie thought the resolu tion did not convey this right. Mr. Losch said that a lobby was on the lloor of the senate trying to force tne passage of the resolution. Tn his le marks Mr. KnuIYmun advised that the words "solicit and advertise" be In serted In the resolution, and the docu ment was recalled from the committee to which It had been referred and the change made. The resolution as amended now goes back to the house for concurrence In the senate amendments. Mr. Grady offered a resolution for an adjournment until Feb. 22. at 9 o'clock, supporting his motion for Its adoption by the statement that care should characterize the course of the legislature at this time. He believed the time should be given the board of public buildings and grounds to make ample arrangements for the sessions of the legislature In Grace Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Gobln made an amendment pro viding for a session next Monday even ing at i) o clock, and it was carried. GOV. HASTINGS' COMMUNICATION' The governor submitted the follow ing communication: To the Honorable, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The unfortunate destruction by lire on the 2nd Inst, of that part of the capltol buildings occupied by your honorable bo dies, has Imposed upon the board of public buildings and grounds the duty of provid ing temporary accommodations for the holding of the sessions of the general as sembly.

Lancaster, Pa'., Fob. I. Marcus Hutcher, the negro who entered the house of Elmer Schner, at Columbia, a week ago, and assaulted Mrs. Schner, was given a hearing at Columbia today and was twice in-nerll of his life, once from the husband of the Injured wo man, and once from the fury of the crowd. Hutcher was taken to Colum bia from the county jull here In a spe cial trolley car with eleven other negro prisoners. At Columbia he was taken to the olilce of Justice Evans for a hear ing. Mrs. Schner unhesitatingly picked Hutcher out as her assailant from among the other negroes and he was held for trial. Tho fact that the hear ing watt in progress became known and before it had concluded a crowd of a thousand men and boys collected before the justice's olilce door with the avowed Intention of doing injury to the prisoner. To save Hutcher's life he was taken out the back way, hurried Into a carriage and driven rapidly to the waiting trolley car. On the way to the car the carriage passed the wo mnn's husband and Mr. Schner drew a revolver and made an attempt to shoot Hutcher, but was unarmed by a detec tive. The crowd In front or the magis trate's olilce, had, In the meantime, dis covered that Hutcher hud escaped them and they raced Tor the car. The fore most of the crowd came up to the negro as he was being taken from the carriage and a vigorous attack was made on him.

Wllkes-Rnrro, Pa., Feb. 4. What promises to be one of the nigst Inter esting and Important cases ever brought in Luzerne county, was called for trial today In the criminal court before Judge Dennett. A. L. Spencer and Thomas Aubrey, formerly of New York city, now of Scranton, are charged with conspir acy by George W. Koons, of 'Audenreld. The defendants are accused of pur chasing $10,000 worth of Iron, pipe, etc., from the prosecutor on which they paid only $1,000. Tho prosecutor made In quiries concerning the purchasers and the manner In which they we're uis poslng or the goods nhd round,' It Is nl leged, that the defendants were selling the goods for a cheaper price than that which they cost the defendants, or more correctly, tho price which was set upon them by the prosecutor, $10,- 000. Mr. Koons then brought suit against Spencer and Aubrey. The de fendants are agents for the Phoenix Contract company, which works under a charter from the state or New Jer sey on the strength or which the goods were purchased. . In opening the trial the district at torney snid the case was a grave one nnd it was a deep laid scheme to cheat and defraud. II- was piepared to prove that Mr. Koons had been robbed out of $10,000 by the defendants of which A. L. Spencer Is the arch conspi rator, and that Thomas Aubrey was his tool. He would show to the court by competent witnesses that it was a com pany with no capital, who was at the back of a gigantic scheme of fraud which was recently exposed In the New ork paners and that the amount of swindling that had alieady been done is said to be a couple or million dollars; WHAT THE EVIDENCE BROUGHT OUT. In the tilal today evidence was brought out connecting the company with a gang or swindlers recently brok en up In New York city. Tho scheme was to organize a chartered company and buy building material or anything else which had any market value until the concern would be exhausted, then a new company in which the directors or the old one did not figure openly 'would be formed under the laws or the state or New Jersey and the operations continued. The principal witness on the stand this afternoon was A. J. Millard, or East Orange, N. J., who has an olilce at 32 Liberty street, New York, who furnished the Scranton partls with kit ed paper on which' to carry on their business. Millard has turned states evidence and gave the whole scheme away on the stand. The llrm had rep resentatives In Chicago. Boston, Phil adelphia and other cities.

Prospects Tlint ."llr. Ilauiia May Yet Accept a Place. Canton, Ohio, Feb. 4. The Indications now are that the ptesent intention of M. A. Hanna will occupy the cabinet guessers the rest of this week. It Is rumored here by many of llanna's Cleveland friends, who have visited Canton within the last twenty-four hours that he may decide to accept the position of postmaster general. The most generally accepted opinion is that Mr. Hanna thinks he will not be ap pointed to the senate by Governor Bushnell, though the rumor that Gover nor Hushnell has decided to appoint Lieutenant Governor Jones to 1111 his seat in the United States senate which will be vacated by John Sherman on the fourth of March, Is not thought to be wholly reliable. Whether Mr. Hanna is appointed to the senate to fill Mr. Sherman's place or not he will be a candidate for elec tion for the regular full term berore the legislature which Is to be elected next tall and Which meets to choose a United States senator in January next. The appointment and acceptance dur ing the night or J. Aditison Porter of tho position or private secretary to the president, puts nn end to futlhur guess ing on-thai subject. Mr. McKlnley to night said: "I have received no definite word rrm General Goir." This statement indicates that the question of General Goff's acceptance of a place In the cabinet Is still under consideration. J. Addison Porter, Major MoKInley's private secretary, will be here tomor row. Tho name of Dr. Seward Webb, of Vermont, has been presented to Major McKlnley for consideration as n cabin et possibility and was being seriously thought of, when owing to illness In his family and business engagements he asked General T. S. Peck to visit Canton and withdraw his name. The Pope Is III. Rome, Feb. 4.

Since Captain Gen eral Weyl'er entered tho Santa Clara province, about a week ago, his col umns have had a series of encounters with various parties of rebels which were eventually dispersed. All the way from Las duces to Santa Clara the shooting on the part or the rebels Increased, and their movements be came bolder, n party of Insurgents even tiring on General Weyler's camp on the river Sagua. The vanguard of the Spanish columns also had to light Us way across the Sagua river, and other bodies of troops were compelled to do likewise at different places along the river, where they essayed to cross. Despite these frequent encounters the losses reported were Insignificant on both sides. Only two rebels were killed and seven wounded. Various engagements have occurred In the vicinity of Sagua De Tanamo, In which the rebels lost over sixty killed and wounded, and the troops had two privates killed, and a naval commander and twenty-one privates wounded. Madrid, Feb. 4. The royal decree promulgating the scheme of reforms In Cuba, which has been prepared by Premier Canovns and Senor Cestella no, minister of colonies, was signed by the queen regent today. The government reserves full power to maintain public order and may adopt measures even against these re forms whenever such measures may be needed to suppress rebellious move ments. The publication of the plan has made a bad impression In Spain, ns the scheme Is generally regarded as giving everything to the Cubans. Havana, Feb. 4. The trial of Dr. Gaspar Hetancourt, a well known American dentist of this city, who was arrested on Dec. 2S last as a polltlcal suspect, took place today and resulted In his acquittal.

It was suspect ed that Dr. Hetancourt wus acting us a go-between for the Insurgents and their representatives in the United States. There wns no evidence pre sented at the trial to prove that he was connected In any way with the rebellion. James W. Luckonblll, a musician of Shortervllle, Pa., committed suicide at the Saratoga hotel here by shooting himself through the heart. Consul General Lee took charge of the body and ordered its burial. New York, Feb, 1. Senor Tomas Es trada Palma, the Cuban delegate, when interviewed today concerning the proposed reforms In Cuba, gave out the following statement: "Had genuine autonomy Instead of sham refonns boon offered to the peo ple of Cuba before thoy rose in arms, the Cubans would surely have accept ed It and therefore bloodshed and to tal devastation of the Island would have been averted. "If the Cuban people did not accept these sham reforms then nnd rose In arms for independence how would they accept them now or enter into any kind ol' compromise which has not for its basis the absolute Independ ence of the Islands. They nre sure of success nnd one thing Is certalM, that Is that the Cubans never again will place their necks under the Spanish yoke. They have proved so far that they are able to conquer the Spaniards and govern themselves. Rival Lovers Kill Each Other. Guthrie, O. T.. Feb. 4.
