Sensation In House. A genuine sensation was caused In the house of representatives by the presentation of charges alleging the corrupt use of a fund of $"iui,ik") relative to the sale of the Punish West ladies. These charges which were presented by Mr. Kichardson, the Dem ocratic leader, were contained lu an alleged secret report of Cuptnln Wal ter Christina to the Danish govern ment, wiiii ii declared that he had em ployed conupt means to tiling the ne gotiations for the sale of the islands to a consummation. The report, ex traits fnm which Sir. Richardson read, mentioned the nanus of Abner McKinlcy and his partner,. Colonel Drown; C. W. Knox, who was de scribed ns "an Intimate friend of Senator Hanna"; Uichard 1 Lvans who is said to represent "Mr. Gardner and his friends In the house," and two press associations, the names nf whlc'u were net (liven, as bavins; been in terested In the matter. The charges against members of congress were not spei Iflc. The speaker appointed the following; lnvestls,'atln committee: Messrs, Dal zcll (Hep.. I'a.); Hitt (Hep. 111.); Cous ins (ilep. la.); SIcCall (Ucp. Mass.); Ttlthardson (Dem. Tenn.); Diusinore (Peru. Ark.), and Cowherd (Dem. Mo.) Forty People Injured In a Church. A fierce wind storm struck the city of Pittsburg Sunday Just be fore noon and did almost incalculable damage to prcperty and Injured many people, some of whom may die from the effects of their wounds. Scores of houses were unroofed, many trees blown down, mill stacks toppled over and telegraph and telephone wires generally disabled. The most serious accident reported was the tinrcuting of the Knoxville Presbyterian chinch lu Knoxville. The church at the time was filled with an Easter cor.giosatlou numbering about CUD persons. While the minister was in the midst of his sermon, a strong gust of wind blew over the large chimney and lilted a portion of the roof of the building. The bricks from the chimney crashed throui;h the roof and carried a huge plere of the hard wood celling measuring about 40x20 feet down upon the worshippers In the pews. An Indescribable panic ensued and a frantic rush was made for tho doors and windows. The excitement was soon quieted and the work or rescue began. At least 40 persons were caught by the wreckage and more or less hurt. Convention of Republican Editors. The ninth annual convention of the Republican Editorial association of the state of New York will be held at the Fifth Avenue hotel In New York, Thursday, April 3. Over a hundred editors of Interior newspapers will at tend and will be welcomed at the ho tel by a reception committee i ompiis ng IxmiIs Stern, Hon. Cornelius N. Bliss, ex-Oovernor Frank S. Dlacl;, Austin U. Fletcher. Frank H. Piatt, William Herri, l.udwig Nlssen, John A. Sleicher and John W. Vrooman. Frederick P. Hall of the Jamestown Journal, the president of the asso ciation, will preside over the business session and in the evening, on the in vitation of Louis Stern, the editors will attend a banquet at the Republi can club, of which Mr. Stern Is presi dent. President Roosevelt. Governor Odell, I.ayor Low, Senators Piatt and Depew, Lieutenant Governor Woodruff and other party leaders, are among those who have been Invited and several of them are on the list of after-dinner speakers. Capture of Insurgents. General Nortel, the only insurgent general with the possible exception of Malvar, still lu the field, hm been captured by Lieutenant Frank E. Pa.-i-ford of tho Twenty-eighth lnfa:itry. A major, captain, lieutenant an. five mein who were acting as a body guard to Noriul were captured with him. They have all been held as pris oners of var. There Is some reason to believe that one member of this bodyguard Is General Malvar In dis guise. Lieutenant Bamford Is certain that if this general Is not one of tho raptured party he is in the Immediate neighborhood of the scene of Noriel'a capture. Noriel has been one of the recognized leaders of the Insurrection since 1SD9, He was captured on his way to the coast while endeavoring to escape. He admits that the insurreC' tion, as such, Is over and Bays that tho few remaining leaders are flcelug, as they do not command enough men to warrant surrenders commensurate with their rank. Germany Will Not Commit Itself. There is high authority for saying that the government of the I'nited States has been sounding Germany as to how far the latter country would go toward maintaining the "open door" In C'tiica. This Inquiry, which was Initiated prior to tho trip of Admiral Prince Henry of Prussia to the United States, wns to learn for the guidance of Wash ington whether in any event Germany would tako a resolute stand for equal trade opiiortunlties. This Inquiry re sulted In obtaining from the very head of tho German empire the impression that Germany, whilo willing to take an identical attitude with the other powers for the "open door," would not In a final instance oppose something that Russia really desired. This Is the first principle of Ger many's exterior policy, and It applies fully to the East Asian question. To Be Devoted to Education. The London Daily Mail says that It Is In a position to assert that Cecil Rhodes left the bulk of his for tune, outsido of some personal and family bequests, to the promotion of his vast Imperial plan of education. This project embraces every land where the Union Jack Hies. Its purpose Is the Intellectual betterment of the British race throughout the world and the fostering of the Imperial senti ment. The Daily Mall adds that this Idea of better fitting "younger Britain" to cope successsfully with rival nation alities, was long a dominant scheme with Cecil Rhodes, but that even his closest friends little Imagined the ab sorbing hold it obtained upon him un til this was disclosed by the terms of his will. The details of this plan of education will be made public In a few days. K'eat Prices High, Cereals Lower. Aggressive strength in prices is chielly manifested by hog products, which It is declared, have been manip ulated by paekerB. A more reason able explanation, however, is that the high prices for beef and mutton have largely diverted consumption to hog products. The leading cereals are irregularly lower after an apparently futile ef fort at bulling prices. Last week's de cline brought In considerable export business In wheat and some revival was reported even in corn. Steady buying and talk of a squeeze In corn were reflected sympathetically In wheat.

Lillian Papch, a highly respectable young lady, aged about 29, of Savan nah street, was found bound and gagged lying on a pile of rubbish near the Erie canal viaduct over the Genesee river, unconscious. .' After removal to the hospital she revived sufliclently to make a state ment to the effect that while crossing the viaduct about 8 : 30 o'clock she was seized from behind by a burly ruffian, bound and gagged and thrown upon a pile of rubbish near the towpath. Before the villain could accomplish his purpose, however, he was fright ened away by a boy crossing the bridge. Miss Papch furnished a good descrip tion of her assailant and summary jus tice Is threatened If he is captured. Patrick Convicted of Murder. Albert T. Patrick, lawyer has been convicted of murdering the elderly millionaire recluse, William Marsh Rice, on Sept. 23, 1900. The penalty, under the statute, is death in the electric chair. A scant three hours of deliberation, f t tho close of a trial prolonged for nine weeks and replete with sensa tional interest, sufficed to enable the Jury to reach their verdict. The Issue of the trial establishes the charge that Patrick conspired with Rice's valet, Charles F. Jones, to obtain posses sion of the Texan's estate est:mated at $7,000,000 and that Jones killed his employer by the administration of chloroform at the direct instigation of Patrick. Agricultural Experiment Station. Governor Benjamin F. Odell has appointed the following board of managers of the state agricultural ex periment station at Geneva: Stephen H. Hammond of Geneva, L. P.

Mr. Payne Explains the Depressed Condition of the Cuban Sugar In dustry Planters and Business Men on Verge of Bankruptcy Says Con cession Will Not Hurt Uncle Sam. Washington, April 1. Chairman Payne presented to the house the re port of the ways and means commit tee on the Cuban reciprocity bill, which the committee earlier In the day had ordered reported. After reciting President Roosevelt's recommendations in behalf of Cuba, Mr. Payne says: "Our relations to Cuba are peculiar. In our declaration of war with Spain, and ever since, we have solemnly pro claimed to the world that our object was to give to Cuba a stable and inde pendent government. We have lab ored for more than three years to ac complish that result and in this en deavor we have spared no expense. During the years of preparation wo have given her an example of the benefit of law and good order, of clean liness and of the preservation of the public health and of good government generally. She has organized her gov ernment under a constitution and is now ready to launch forth among the nations of the earth in the month of May." Mr. Payne explains the depressed condition of the Cuban sugar industry as due to the world's over production of sugar, and says: "This condition threatened grave disaster to this, the principal industrial product of Cuba. It is true that labor In Cuba Is and has for the past three months been fully employed at fair wages, that there has been no distress, but a trust worthy writer and American not In terested in Bttgar and a careful obser ver, says under the date of March 2oth: "While the masses of Cuba are not actually suffering from lack of food, the planters and business men are on the verge of collapse and ban? ruptcy, and are anxiously hoping for concessions in the United States tar iff In order that they may receive new life and hope. The merchants have large sums of money trusted out and are not paying each other. They are simply holding each other up In the hope of obtaining relief and If failures once begin they will run like wild fire." "This threatened financial distress comes at the very time we are about to set the Cuban government up in business on Its own account. We have performed the part of a guardian up to the present moment, and are about to send the ward forth into the world, we can not afford to take the risk of her failure If a little timely aid will Insure success." The report adds that we are bound to care for our own people, but after reviewing the American sugar situa tion says: "It can work no Injury to onr In dustry If we make this small reduc tion on Cuban sugars. The enactment of this bill will not affect the protec tion of the sugar producers of the United States. There Is no reason able pretense that the same reduction on other Cuban products will Injure any other American Industry." The report asserts that the planter and not the refineries will receive the benefits of the reduction and adds: "Cuba does not come simply as a mendicant, nor should she be treated as such. She offers a good trade In return. This she is willing to concede. Under the provisions of the bill, wn should be able to double the amount of our export trade with Cuba, which amounts to $28,000,000, nice than that we obtained In the fiscal year." In conclusion the report says: "It Is a ha py cirrumstinej that with" out any Injury to our Industries and without the loss of anything except seven or eight million dollars of rev enue, which we do not need, we are able to extend this relief to Cuba and at the same time get reciprocal trade relations with her. "Aside from the exceptional case that Cuba presents the action of .he committee is tn entire accord with the reciprocity doctrine of the Repub llcan platform and the declarations of President McKinley and President Roosevelt. It Involves no proposed re Vision of the tariff or anything not sntirely In harmony with the mainten ance of the protective system." MEETING OF OPPOSITION. It la Said That 30 Republicans Will Speak and Vote Against the Bill. Washington, April 1. Following the action of the ways and means com mittee on the Cuban reciprocity bill the Republican members who oppose the bill held a conference In the com mittee room of Representative W A. Smith of Michigan. About 30 mem bers were present, representing the various Btates Interested In beet sugar production. No formal action was taken, but the discussion was along the line of con tinuing the contest on the floor of the house. It Is expected though that the opposition will be from members Individually rather than from a com pact and organized opposition. After the meeting It was said by those pres ent that about 30 Republicans would speak and vote against the bill. Tho ways and means leaders feel confident that the bill will pass, prob ably by Republican votes. In any event there Is said to be more than sufficient Democratic nuppoit of tho bill to offstt the Republican defection. DELAY IN PEACIi NEGOTIATIONS. Dli'iculty of Comrr jrir.-.'.ing With Mr. Steyn and Cctcxl CcrweL The Haue, April 1. Mr. Kruicr, Dr. Leyds and the Boer delegates in Euiope are expected to hol.i an import ant meeting at Utrecht, April 2, to tonslder the situation in view of Act ing President Schalk-Burger's peace move. Well Informed people here say Cen eral Schalk-Burger was evidently In fluenced by the rece'pt of the news of the result of the Dutch note to Great Britain on the subject of peace In South Ai'rica and other dispatches sent him from here. It Is known that his communication with President Steyn and General De wet, which have heietofore been easily carried on, were Interrupted by the recent British movements, and as tt was necessary to communicate with Mr. Steyn and General Dewet before any peace proposition could be formu lated. General Si balk-Burger had to apply to lord Kitchener for a safe conduct. Considerable surprise is expressed here at Schnlk-Euiger's delay in get ting In touch with Cwct and It Is thought that something unusual must be behind it. But oven if the Orange Free State and Transvaal officials agreed to pesce ter:::s It would be nec essary for both republics to call a gen eral meeting of the commanders and submit, the proposals to the burghers before they could be submitted to Lord Kitchener. MARTIAL LAW DECLARED. Revolutionists In San Domingo Cap ture a Town on the Const. San Domingo. April 1.

Advance tn Cotton Mills. Boston, April 1. The posting of notices of advances In wages made Easter Monday a particularly plcnsant day to tens of thousands of cotton mills operatives in couthern New Eng land. Some disagreements over the amount of the increases have arisen and the yarn mill operatives who have not been Included are disposed to be restive, but on the whole the mill sit uation is much better than a week ai;o. The chief incident was the continu ance at work of most of the 10,000 operatives In the seven plants at Low ell, who on Friday last expected to bo Idle through the vote of organized crafts to strike. Mr. Reed and Mark Twain In Cuba. Santiago, April L Tho American steam yacht Kanawha with H. H. Rogers, vice president of the Standard Oil company; T. B. Reed, ex-speaker of the house of representatives, and Samuel L. Clemens (Mark Twain) on board, has arrived here. The party visited the points of historical Inter est near Santiago.
