POWDER FOR HYPPoLYTE.
Uncle Sam Seizes Steamer for
Violation of the Neutrality Laws.

Uncle Sam Seizes Steamer for
Violation of the Neutrality Laws.
Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Feb. T.-The steamship
Carondoiet, said to be owned by the
Mallery line. and which was seized yes
terday for violation of the neutrality
laws, is still in custody, and is likely to
remain in possession of the government
for several weeks to come. United
States Marshal Holmes estimates the
vessels value together with her cargo
at $250,000. The only way for the own
ers to secure her release is to file bonds.
That course would take months to dis
pose of. 1t is not believed that the
owners will adopt this method as the
evidence submitted by Mr.. Preston.
the Haytien minister, to show that the
vessel had contraband goods of war deS-
tined for Hippolyte's North Hayden
army, is very convincing. The penalty
for this offense is confiscation and one
fourth of the money obtained from the
sale of the vessel goes to the informer
at the discretion of the judge, and the
remainder to the United States govern
ment. The vessel has Oh board several
cases Of arms, 525 kegs of powder 80 to
40 barrels of powder, besides quantity
of explosive shells. Mr.. Austin, of the
firm of Lord & Austin, shipping brok-
ers, who chartered the vessel. denies
that the vessel was being sent on a mis-
sion that could be construed as viola
tion of the neutrality laws. He says
the little difficulty which has arisen
will be settled in a very short time.
His partner, Mr.. Lord, and his counsel
were in consultation with the United
States district attorney with view to
settlement of the case. and he believed
the vessel would be released.

RACING SKATES.
The Philosophy of Leaning For
ward as in Running.

The Philosophy of Leaning For
ward as in Running.
The peculiar skates used by Paulsen.
the champion long-distance skater of
the world, which have been on exhibi-
ton in Minneapolis for some time, have
excited considerable curiosity. His
speed skates, used in all contests, are
very light, with blade not more than
one eighth of an inch in thickness, but
fully twice the length of an ordinary
skate, the blade projecting fully six
inches beyond the toe. and light rae
ing shoe of the finest leather sewed
firmly to the framework of the skates.
Another point of considerable ben
eft is the fact that the frame
work of the skate is hollow
and can be filled with oil which
slowly runs out on to the blade
and prevents the snow and ice from
adhering to it. The philosophy of the
projecting blade is simply this: 1t al
lows Paulsen to lean over at an angle OF
45 degrees, thus driving his body for
skaters do, who stand straight up when
skating. The same principle is made
use OF by such noted sprint runners as
johnson, Bethune, Kittleman and
others, who lean over to an extreme
when at the top of their speed. A race
between Paulsen and Mccullough,
champion Of Manitoba. will no doubt
take place as soon as the preliminaries
can be arranged. The notice that Paul
sen will give an exhibition at MOrton's
ice rink Feb. Is is mistake. He will
skate at benefit to be given to the Nor
mamma society Feb. Is at the ball park.

TO PROTECT THE POOR.
Laws to Regulate Building Asso-
Citations,

GlattOuSs
Secretary of State Mattson attended
before the committee on corporations. of
which Senator L. johnson is chairman,
and addressed them in these words:
Ny experience as secretary Of state has
shown me conclusiyely that people at dis
tance look upon any company having the
state seal attached to its documents as a duly
Incorporated concern, as standing IN some
manner under the control and supervision of
the stale, and that the state is. to some eX-
tent, responsible for the faithful fulfllment
of its promise. This, however, does not
apply any more TO building and loan than to
many other associations now existing in the
state, such as mutual endowments, live stock
insurance, etc. 1t does in no sense apply to
the so-called building and loan associations,
because they are wholly local in their opera
tons and well known by their shareholders.
The proposition that such companies shall
deposit fixed amount of bonds OF securities
with the state will not afford the requisite
protection, unless the amount deposited cor
responds with the amount of capital intrusted
TO Its care in the public.
| therefore make free to recommend the
passage of law that shall place all corpora
tions of that description under the super
vision and control of the public examiner,
with requisite powers to that official. which.
| think, will alone afford sufficient protec-
ton to the public, just as our presen: bank
ing laws do. but that If any deposit be re-
quired at all il should be in proportion to the
amount of funds paid by the shareholders
annually into the treasury of such corpora
tiouS
The meeting was also attended by an
influential representation of officials of
mutual building associations. local and
national, operating in the state. At
torney Bell delivered very strong
speech against the national mutual as
sociations, and claimed that their flan-
cial basis was not so secure as the old,
local mutual building associations. J.
e. Haynes denied this. Two and half
hours were thus spent, and an adjourn
ment taken until Tuesday.

AFTER ELEVATOR MEN.

Senator Hixson, as chairman of the
grain and warehouse committee, is de-
sirous of securing something for that
committee to do. They cannot COM
plain of phlethora of work, and SO he
proposed:
Resolved, That the grain and ware
house committee be authorized to in
quire into alleged irregularities in the
management of the wheat elevators at
Minneapolis and Duluth, with power to
subpoena persons and paper.
But the little scheme did not work, as
Senator Day,ever watchful of the states
finances, was upon his feel. Il Think"
he said, there ought to be limit to
the expenses of these investigating
committees, or we shall be run in for
another thousand dollars. In order that

DUNNINGTON SCORES
And Secures the appointment of
an Investigating Committee.

an Investigating Committee.
Business had just got properly under
way in the senate when Senator Ed
wards serenely took the floor and moved
that an executive session be taken.
whats up?" was the question upper
most in the minds of the reporters who,
with the general public. were thus un-
tremendously hustl d out of the cham
ber and the doors securely locked be-
kind them. Assistant Sergeant-at-
arms ZWicky reconnoitered the corridors
OF the senate and having ascertained
that none of the ubiquitous newspaper
IHen were hanging to the crevices of
doors leading into the chamber or con-
cealed in the ventilating shafts. busi-
neS5 was once more resumed.
Senator Edwards again rose and
moved that the vote by which the ap-
pointment of Capt. W. 2. Dunnington
as a trustee of the soldiers home was
not confirmed be reconSidered.
There was no opposition to this and
then, third time, Senator Edwards
was upon his feet with the object of
moving for an investigation into the
alleged charges against Capt. Dunning-
ton. This gentlemen was appointed
member Of the board of trustees of the
soldiers home two years ago. His ap-
pOintment came up for confirmation
last week when Senators Pope and
Ward strongly opposed it and secured
a majority of the senate to refuse their
Endorsement. Mercenary motives were
charged against Capt. Huntington in
his connection with the home. The
captain came down from Redwood
Falls this week, and has been moving
for an investigation into these charges
hence, the motion of Senator Ed
wards.
Senators Pope and Ward were alb
sent yesterday, and flom the onset
there was a manifest disposition on the
part of the senate to inquire further
into these charges.
Senator Durant made a touching plea.
He remarked: Capt. Huntington
came TO me tthe tears were streaming
down his face and asked to be allowed
to clear his fair name of the aSperSiGnS
cast upon it," Other senators followed
in a similar strain, and a unanimous
vote favored the appointment of an in
vestigating committee-ScnatOrS Du-
rant, Bowen and Crandall being ap-
pointed by President Rice to constitute
such committee.
Secretary Cutter was authorized to
acguaint Gov. Merriam of what had
been done iii connection with this ap-
pointment.
Some startling developments are
promised, in which several of the trus-
tees of the Soldiers home are impii-
Gated.

Pawnee Bill and Oklahoma Har-
nv Will Await the Action of the

Senate.
CALDWELL. Kan, Feb. 7.-Pawnee
Bill and Oklahoma Harry Hill were in
the city last night. Hill was one of the
chief agitators of the Oklahoma inva-
sion. but Oh the passage of the Springer
bill in the lower house, took the part of
stopping the invasion. He satisfied
Pawnee Bill that no invasion should be
made until the Seuate took action
on the bill. When asked how
they expected to get by the sol
diers into the territory in case of an
invasion, he answered: IF the inva-
sion had started we would have had no
trouble in crossing the border, as we
had provided for all emergencies. My
intention was to oenjoin President Cleye-
lands orders and hold the soldiers still
until we filed the territory full of peo-
pie, and by that time the injunction
could have been dissolved. The OPEN
ing of the territory would have been
thing of the past. as the military has no
Jurisdiction outside of civil action in
time of peace. AS it is, we are
more satisfied to await the action
of the senate" The boomers are
steadily coming into the city.

HER NECK Is BROKEN.

A New York Belle Dislocate the
Vertebre of Her Neck in Rails
ing Window.
Special to the Globe.
SIDNEY, N. Y, Feb. 7.-Miss Edith
Phelps, daughter of James Phelps, Of
this town, who, in common unprofes
Sional phrase, broke her neck few
days ago, bids fair to recover. Miss
Edith attempted to raise window sash
which was caught fast by ice that had
gathered at the sill. The obstruction
suddenly gave way, permitting her head
to fly back with violent jerk that dis
located the yer rtebr8 OF her neck. Her
head, no longer sustained by the neck,
dropped down Oh the right shoulder.
The surgeon who was called to attend
her succeeded in reducing the disloea-
ton, and then adjusted around the neck
a stout pasteboard collar as an artificial
support for the head in it's natural posi-
ton. 1t is believed that in the course
of time she will entirely recover. with
out any deformity of the neck remain
ing behind. So far she has suffered no
great pain. Surgeons say that injuries
OF the nature Indicated, followed by
perfect recovery with out deformity, are
exceedingly rare.

Was Assassinated in u Cowardly
Manner.
EUFALA, Ind. Ter, Feb. 1.-THE
latest adyices from the home of Belle
Starr, the noted female outlaw, says
she was assassinated in most coward
ly manner. Her murderer is still at

spot on the Canadian river, and she
was murdered while returning from a
visit to some neighbors, few miles in
the Choctaw nation. She was mounted
on the horse which she had used for
years, and was within few hundred
yards of her home. Just as she was
about to ford the river On the Choctaw
side, a man. or possibly two, fired on
her from ambush, being concealed in
the dense growth of chapparral lining
the river banks. The assassin OF assas-
sins were only few yards from her,
and the big bird shot used struck her
full in the face, killing her instantly.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE investi-
cation into the charges preferred by
James McPhiIiamy, prisoner, against
DR.. Maharneke, the suspended hospital
steward at the Riverside penitentiary,
was resumed this afternoon. Nearly
the entire afternoon was occupied in
nearing the closing testimony of the
prosecution. DR.. Maharneke cross-ex-
amined the witnesses. No testimony
was offered other than to more firmly
establish the charges. When the prose-
cution rested Attorney B. G. Christy
was granted the privilege of cross-ex-
amining witnesses for McPhillamy. DIR
Maharneke positively refused to go on
the stand until Attorney Christy with
drew from the case. DR.. Maharneke
took the stand and emphatically denied
all OF the charges made against him.
The Investigation was kept up until
80 o'clock and then adjourned, with
DR.. Rankin, prison physician, OH the
stand. He said that neither the electric
battery nor hot poultices were ever
used for punishment.

he remarked. 'has the stigma upon it

islators have no means to clear their

charges in the nomination of political
officers"
1t is, however, doubtful whether the
bill will pass the committee stage. The
present feeling among the prominent
leaders of the Republican party is to
keep the disposition of the high politi--
cal offices in the grip of the moneyed
