 Horace Horan was arraigned before Justice Patterson, in the Tombs Police Court, Satur- day, by Detective Robert Pinkerton, on a charge of having robbed the Middletown (Conn.) Savings Bank of $65, 1000 in bonds and money in June last. Detective Pinker- ton said that Horan is well known as bank thief; that two years ago he was arrested for participation in 8 $25O, ,OOO bond robbery, at 49 and 51 Nassau street. He was arrested, tried and found guilty. On the way to the Tombs, in charge of Court Officer George Wilson, he escaped. Since then he has been detained in three States for various robberies. Detective Pinkerton said that Horan has been living in Middletown for the past two years, under the assumed name of George s. Link The detective learned on Friday night that number of New York thieves were returning from Indi- ana, and that Horan was going to Philadel phia. At o'clock in the evening he arrested Hogan in the office of the Cortlandt Street Ferry just as he was about to check his bag gage to Philadelphia. Detective Pinkerton said that he had requisition from the Gov ernor of Connecticut for Horan.
 'You can take him. said Justice Patter- son.
 T won't go," Horan cried. "I demand the right even if am criminal, of being heard by counsel"
 'Come along" said Detective Pinkerton ''come quietly, and it will be better for you"
 q won't I won't ID shrieked Horan, cling ing to the rail in front of the magistrates desk

 Royal Clemency to Cubans-A Proposed
 Treaty of Commerce With the United
 States.
 MADRID, Oct. 17.-sIn the matter of the Cuban Chief Calixto Garcia, in the Council of the Ministers presided over by the King, it has been decided that the Spanish govern ment ''do not further object to an act of royal clemency for all Cubans transported to Spain under surveillance for political offences, pro- vided General Blanco approves of such a measure.'' His opnion has been asked for by telegram already. At the request of Calixto Garcia his secretary was set free in Alicante on Thursday The Cabinet is now disposed toward policy of conciliation in Cuba and has instructed the Director of the Treasury in Havana to examine with the Governor Gen eral whether the estimates will allow of re- duction in the export duties there next year. Instructions have also been sent to the Spanish Minister at Washington again to in- sist upon the desire of the Madrid govern ment to obtain some reduction of the duties upon sugar and molasses. In return Spain offers the repeal of duties on flour, corn and all articles of food from the United States The Spanish government desires to be able to report to the Cortesin January some progress in negotiations for treaty of commerce with the United States.

Cologne CathedraI-The Final Dedfcn-
 ton Ceremonies.
 COLOGNE, Oct. 17.-At noon yesterday the cathedral festivities closed with the grand historical procession, which proved to be of far greater interest than yesterdays religious ceremonies. In these the only point worth noticing was the Kaiser's speech, which seemed to breathe the spirit of reconciliation between the Church and State. The imperial speech as printed, is not complete. The Kaiser attempted to make an improvised speech, but failed to complete several sen tences These, however, were not heard and are not reported. In the speech in the ca- thedral, where the Emperor referred to the fact that his endeavor had always been in the past to maintain religious peace the words ftin the past'' were underscored four times in the Emperor's manuscript Altogether yes terday's festival was not 8 success, consid- ering why it was instituted. The ultram o11- tanes, discontented, kept conscientiously away, and this is the strange fact about the ce1ebra- ton that during two days scarcely a priest has been seen on the streets. The his torical procession, in the morning, was perfect ly astonishing and brilliant The represen- tation included the three great epochs in the history of the building of the Cathedral the laying of the foundation stone in 1248, the conservation of the completed choir in 1922 and the laying of the foundation stone of the other part of the Cathedral, to- gether with pictures from the his- tory of Cologne, and designs of costumes made by the Dusseldorf artists, Roeber, Bauer and Camphausens No teleeraphic summary can give an idea of the beauty and correctness of the ancient costumes and the beauty of the ladies of Cologne who were in the procession. It Is rumored that the
