Ho Taxcd--Tlio Tax on Spirits.
Washington, Juno 29. The Republi
can members of the senate committee
on judiciary today had under consider
ation the form of an amendment to
the tariff bill to be submitted for the
control of trusts. They practically
ngree'd upon an amendment making It
an offense punishable hy fine and im
prisonment for any person or corpora
tion to monopolize, or conspire with
any other perron or corporation to
monopolize, the trade In any article
protected by the tariff bill. The amend
ment when completed will prescribe
penalties and supply directions for the
detection of fraud. The preparation of
the amendment has been referred to a
sub-connnlttee consisting of Messrs.
Thurston, Davis and Snooner.
The senate committee on finance has
fixed the "duty on coal at C7 cents per
long ton. This rate applies only to coal
shipped from countries which do not
Impose a higher rate on American coal.
It therefore affects only Canada, the
Canadian rate on American coal being
the same. There has been a strong
contention to hold the rate down to
that originally fixed by the committee,
and even to, lower it, but this effort
was vigorously contested by the senat
ors from the coal-producing states, and
the latter class have won.
The committee has also decided to
restoie paintings to the dutiable list.
The house Imposed a duty of 25 per cent,
nd valorem on paintings. This the sen
ate finance committee struck out,
transferring the Item to the free list.
The committee now returns to the house
programme, but It Is not yet definitely
decided whether the rate shall be 20 or
25 per cent.
Crude gypsum rock was taken from
the free list and made dutiable at the
rate of $1 per ton.
A statement made by Senator Cullom
this morning Indicates that the pro
posed reduction In the Internal revenue
tax on distilled spirits will not be made.
Senator Cullom has been recognized as
the leader In the effort to have the tax
reduced. When asked about the out
look today, he said: "I have been 111
for three or four days and on getting
hack to the senate I And an Inclination
not to favor a lowering of the whisky
tax. I do not feel able to push the mat
ter, and while I would not say that the
proposed reduction will not bo made,
I will state that it does not seem
likely."
The Republicans of the Finance Com
mittee are generally opposed to any
change In the rate. Senator O. H. Piatt
two weeks aso said brusquely In an
swer to a Question on the subject:
"Why, there Isn't going to'bo any lower
rate."

Aden, June 29. The Indian govern

search of tho missing steamer Aden,
from Okohama on April 2S, via Col
ombo and Aden for London, which was
last heard of when leaving Colombo
on June 1 for this port, has returned
here and repot ts that the Aden was lost
here and reports that the Aden wuslost
off the Island of Socotra, at the eas
tern extremity of Africa, during the
morning of June 9. The Aden car
ried thirty-four pasengers from China
and Japan. The captain, some of her
officers and crew and seven white pas
sengeis, were swept overboard and
drowned very soon nfter she ran
ashore. Eight female passengers, nine
children, two officers and a few of tho
Aden's crew succeeded In getting away
from the wreck In a boat, but they
have not been heard of since, and lit
tle hope, owing to the bad weather,
Is entertained of thejr safety.
The Mayo saved nine of the passen
gers, three of the white members of
the crew and thirty-three of the na
tives in the crew. All these persons
were rescued Just as tho Aden was
breaking up. The survivors were
brought to this port by the Mayo and
are being cared for by the local au
thorities. In all, the drowned and
missing Include twenty-'flve passen
gers, twenty European officers and
thirty-three natives of the Aden's

MASKED MEN ROB A BANK.
Hold Up Eight Persons nnd Oct
About $10,000.
Dendwood, S. D., Juno 29. Four
masked men made a desperate raid on
the Butte county bank at Belle
Fourche yesterday. Entering tho hank
with revolvers drawn they ordered the
customers present and the bank of
ficials to put up their hands. A little
hesitancy on the part of Cashier Mar
ble drew a shot from one of the rob
bers, which clipped off a piece of the
cashiers' right ear and enforced com
pliance with the commund.
In the safe and on the counters there
were bills and coin amounting to about
$10,000. The robbers scooped It all In
to a sack, backed out of the bank,
and mounting their horses, which had
been conveniently stationed near, rode
away.
The alarm was given Immediately
and In a few moments a well-mounted
and armed posse was in pursuit. AVlth
in a few miles from town the posse
came up with the fugitives and a run
ning fight ensued, which resulted in
one of the robbers surrendering. The
others, being better mounted, kept on,
but are closely pursued and have very
little chance of escaping.
The man who was captured Is a.
stranger In the hills, and It Is believed
that he was used, to locate the place
and fix all the details. Tho other men
are believed to be the remnants of the
once famous hand of Laughing Sam
Caiey that nourished in the Black Hills
until ten years ago, when they held
up the Iron-bound treasure coach of the
Wells-Fargo company at Buffalo Gap
and were almost exterminated. They
got $50,000 In gold at that time, and
tho surviving members got out of the
country with It.
There were eight men in the bnnk
at the time the robbers entered, thiee
of whom had pistols In their pockets.
Most of them were men who lived on
the frontier a long time, and know
that an effort to draw a revolver would
merely precipitate a fight that might
end In the killing of all those in the
bank.
Tho posse In pursuit of the robbers
succeeded in surrounding them last
night on tho "Three V" ranch, fifteen
miles west of Belle Fourche. After ex
changing many shots the bandits sur
rendered. KISSING BARRED AT A PICNIC.
Hurliiigtnu Presbyterians Issue nn
Edict Against Osculation.
Burlington. N. J., Juno 29. An edict
has gone forth against kissing on the
nnnuul picnic of tho Presbyterian Sun
day school, which takes place In tho
Bustletnn woods on Wednesday. The
young folks of the congregation are
disconsolate. The officers of the school
who Issued tho edict claim that there
are millions of microbes In tho sweet
ness of n single kiss, and that the
movo was made from a hygenle stand
point. Some tlmo ago an argument wns
started that dancing, to which the
church generally objected, was not as
bad as tho kissing gumes played at the
Sunday school picnics. To be consist
ent tho Presbyterians have shut down
on loth, and the chances are that tho
youth and beauty of tho congregation
will migrate to the Buptlst and Meth
odist Sunday schools, where kissing
still goes.

Cuba.
London, June 29. The Pall Mall Ga
zette, this afternoon, prints the fol
lowing dispatch from its correspondent
nt Madrid: "Public attention Is en
grossed by the appointment of General
Stewart L. Woodford (as United States
minister tp Spain). While tho govern
ment continues to repudiate the Inten
tion of recalling General Wcyler, I am
In a position to reltcrnte that his re
call will be an accomplished fact at no

ability Generals Blanco and Maclas
will proceed to the Island and divide
the supremo command, and I have good
reason to believe that, coincident with
tho arrival here of General Woodford,
Marshal Campos will proceed upon his
separate mission to Cuba. In accord
ance with the wishes of President Mc
Kinley, Campos should be the executor
of any arrangements possibly reached
between Spain nnd the United States.
Indications do not point to any ar
rangements being reached with the
United States and Intimate friends of
Senor Canovas del Castillo (the Span
ish premier) declare the premier will
strenuously oppose autonomy. Cnste
lar (the Liberal leader) Is also opposed
to anything of the kind. They both
consider that such a concession would
render It very difficult to maintain
Spanish sovereignty.
"The report that the United States
will Insist upon autonomy and the
withdrawal of the Spanish troops and
that otherwise It will Intervene by
force, If necessary, does not make for
a peaceful solution and the Dosltlon Is
regarded throughout Spain with con
siderable anxiety."

IS ARRESTED
Strong Chain of Circum

Collected.
HE USED THE DYNAMITE
Large Insurance Carried on

South Side Explosion Is Laid nt thai
Door of tho Store-Keeper Himself.
Many Incriminating Circumstances
That Ho AUII Hnvo No Little Diffi
culty in Explaining Awny-Goods
Evidently from the Store nnd Dwel
ling Found Secreted in tho Upper
Part of Olchcfski's Horn.
There was no question yesterday
morning when Tho Tribune's report
went to press hut that the South Side
explosion was the result of somebody's
criminal act. Now there is scarcely
any question but that tho guilty party
Is known. As will be guessed at once,
Lc n V. OlchefskI, husband of the own
er of tho wrecked building and propri
etor of the grocery store In which the
explosives wero presumably placed, Is
tho party at whoso door tho crime Is
laid.
He was arrested last night at 8.30
o'clock by Chief of Police Robllne and
Detective Johm Molr at the house of a
relative on Washington avenue flats.
He was taken before Alderman Millar
and held In $1,000 ball for a hearing1
today. He could not get a bondsman
and accordingly was locked up in tha
central police station.
OlchefskI was greatly agitated when
tho police took him Into custody and
showed signs of extreme nervousness
all during the half hour's wait in tho
alderman's office.
"They're crazy to arrest mo for using
dynamite when I didn't do no such
thing" was the burden of his remarks.
The hearing today will take place at 10
o'clock.
YESTERDAY'S DEVELOPMENTS.
When Chief of the Fire Department
Illckey and Chief of Police Robllng
started out to Investigate tho case
yesterday they had three theories bo
fore them. One was that the explosion
was the result, of an accident. Tho
.econd was that tho enemies of Olchef
skI did tho deed. The tlilrd, and tho
one which grew the moro plausible as
the Inquiry progressed was that Ol
chefskI did the deed himself.
Pefore the day had far advanci tho
SiM two theories were virtually dis
carded and all efforts wore bent In
working out the case along the lines
of tho third theory.
The first link in the cYiain of circum
stances tending to bear out the accept
ed theory was the discovery that tho
OlchefskI property was heavily In
sured. The store building and storo
were also insured for $4,500; tho dwell
ing and contents for $1,500 nnd tho
blacksmith shop for $500. This rep
resents tho full value, virtually in,
each case.
Yesterday morning when OlchefskI
was being cared for at tho resldenco
of Fred Hnmm, soon after the explos
ion, he admitted to Max Phillips and
Peter Rosar that dynamite was kept
in Ills store. First he said ho kept It
ft! fulo and he disposed of It In small
quantities. Later he took back this
statement nnd said that tho dynamite
was stored In his place by a contractor,
but the name of the contractor, ho
said, had slipped his memory.
Yesterday afternoon when OlchefskI
was teen by a Tribune reporter he de
nied absolutely that there had been
any dynamite or other explosives ex
cept kerosene and headlight oils kept
In or about his place, and branded as
a falsehood the statement that Phil
lips nnd Rosar accredited him with
making. The reporter went to Max
Phillips' residence on Alder street af
ter this and thero tho story of Olche
fskl's admissions concerning the dyna
mite was reiterated.
When tho neighbors rushed In to.
Olchcfski's to assist in removing tho
furniture, they started to carry out a
largo bureau which vtas standing in tho
front room. Mrs. OlchefskI, accord
ing to tho statements of Cia"'oi
Rell nnd Edward Hamm told them to
leave that alone and take out the
piano, as the piano wasn't Insured and
tho bureau was. Both articles were
saved and carried to tho yard back
of Mr. Hamm's residence.
TRACES OF KEROSENE.
The bureau emitted a strong smell
of kerosene and when Captuln Ed
wards' attention was called to It ho
made and examination. It was found
to bu thoroughly saturated with oil.
Tho bottom drawer was stuffed full
of rags and paper ho heavily soaked
In kerosene that when squeezed tho
oil would drip out of them. Tho In
grnln carpet which covorcd tho floor
of tho front room, the stockings which
Olchofskl had on when ho was carried
to Hamm's and In fact all hhi clothing:
had kerosene on them. The pollco
took chargo of tho clothing and bur
eau. OlchefskI in his statement to Uia
pollco and nlso In an Interview with
a Tribune reporter, claimed that ho
and his wife went to bed at 11 o'clock.
He said nothing of their having gotten
up between that time and the explo
sion, yet when th?y emorged upon the
