A BLACKMAILING CASE.
''The Statement" of 1t is the Cause of a
Union Leaguer's Arrest.

New YORK, May 14.-Thomas B. Mus
grave was arrested this morning at the
Union League Club, of which he is 8
member, on warrant issued to Au
gustus d. Iasigi, of Rhinebeck, N. Y
Musgrave is charged with sending an in
decent pamphlet to complainant through
the mails libelling relatives OF w. w.
Astor.
Iasigi did not appear in court when
the case was called, and an adjournment
was had until Monday.
The libelous article is in the shape
of a typewriter pamphlet, and is
entitled, "The Statement Of Black
mailing Case" The story is remarkably
sensationally, and very lengthy. 1t re-
lates to the misfortunes of a Wall-street
broker in mining stocks, who is said to
have been blackmailed by man and
woman through scheme of an extraor-
dinary nature. The male schemer is
named in the pamphlet as James S.
Armstrong, a near relative of Mrs. Will
liam Astor. The names of other promi-
nent people are mentioned in the pam
phlet, among them Evylen Granville,
the actress, who is said to have been
mixed up in the case, with Armstrong,
whoever that person may be.
The accused was paroled in custody Of
his counsel, to appear Monday for ex-
animation. He clames that the case is
a conspiracy to blackmail him.

SOUTHERN METHODISTS.
The Temperance Committee Takes Ad-
Vanced Ground.

ST. LOUIS, May 14.-In the general
conference of the Methodist Church
Jouth, the committee on revivals today
recommended various changes in the
discipline for the benefit of the Method
lists of Mexico.
The publishing committee recon-
mended offering premium for series
OF catecnisms. A lively debate followed.
The committee ON temperance re-
ported in favor of unfermented wine for
the sacrament whenever practicable,
and approved the resolutions introduced
last week opposing all laws licensing or
permitting the manufacture or sale of
intoxicating liquors as a beverage, be-
cause such laws provide for the con-
tinuance of the a fic and furnish no
protection against it's ravages, and hold
ing that the proper attitude of
Christians toward the drink traffic
should be uncompromising opposition,
and that voluntary and total abstinence
is the sole and true ground of personal
temperance, and that complete legal
prohibition of the traffic is the duty of
the government. The report went to the
calendar, and will, no doubt, cause
much debate when it comes up for con-
sideration.

SLIPPERY JOHN.
1T IS HARD TO KEEP HIM OUT OF
THE COUNTRY.
The Exclusion Act Practically Failure.
Special Treaty Relations With Mexico
and Great Britain Necessary.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE secretary
of the treasury today transmitted to the
senate report from Datus E. Coon
Chinese inspector at San Diego, CAL,
dated April 21st, with respect to the
evasions of the Chinese exclusion act.
Coon says it is true that Chinese are
coming into the United States in spite of
the efforts Of the customs department to
keep them out. The opportunities for
crossing the Mexican borders into Cali
fornia are many, and with the force at
the command of the department it will
impossible to prevent them from coming
into this country. When they have
once reached San Diego unobserved, it
is practically impossible to prove when
or how they came.
Commenting upon the charges that
the Scott exclusion act is failure, Coon
says that this is practically true as to it's
execution, for the reason that when a
Chinaman is arrested he is enabled while
in confinement to make arrangements
with friendly countrymen to be returned
the second time and be conducted to
some other town. He is also able to so
disguise himself as to make his identif-
cation, if caught, extremely difficult.
The order of the secretary of the treas
ury prohibiting the transfer of Cinnamon
in transit in the harbor of San Francisco
was a most fortunate one, and will check
the traffic for time; but some other
method, Coon is confident, will be found
by which they will come into the United
States.
Coon suggests treaty negotiations with
the British government and Mexico,
looking to the exclusion of Chinese, and
says Chinese exclusion legislation would
then be very simple. The Morrow and
other bills, Coon declares, are defective
in that they provide for the return of
Cinnamon to the country whence they
came. Even children laugh when told
of this law, for they know that China
man returned to Mexico will be eating
his breakfast in the United States next

A SENATOR WEDS.
Wolcott, of Colorado, Marries
a Widow.
Mrs. Frances Metcalfe Bass is
the Bride.
The Event Takes Place at Buffalo,
New York.
The Bride Was Arrayed in One of Worth's
Most Gorgeous Creations-The Groom's
Distinguished Pedigree.
Associated Press Dispatches. |

BUFFALO, May 14.-At high noon to-
day st. Pauls cathedral was the scene
of beautiful wedding, when the Right
Rev. Arthur Cleveland Cox, bishop OF
the diocese of Western New York, united
in marriage Hon. Edward Oliver VOL
colt, United States senator from Col
orado, and Mrs. Frances Metcalfe Bass,
daughter of the late James H. Metcalfe.
As the choir boys chanting procession
turned into the center of the aisle, they
were followed by the ushers, George
Porter, Thomas Care, Carleton Smith
and George Carey, the bride coming last
with her son Lyman Metcalfe Bass.
The best man was Henry R. Wolcott,
and among the group Of friends who
stood near, were Hon. Sherman S.
Rogers, Robert Cameron Rogers and
Mr.. and Mrs. Edwin T. Evans. The
bridal robe, Worth's creation, was of
white satin, brocaded in roses, forming
a train which opened over petticoat of
plain white satin, banded with fringes
of crystal and silver; slightly pointed
bodice with Medi collar of point lace
and full front of silk null, finished with
cincture of white and silver, below
which fell null sash softly turned into
true-love knot; toque of null
with a wreath of white ostrich
tips, fastened by knot of diamonds;
while at her throat sparkled the groom's
gift, superb pendant of diamonds,
formed of an immense stone, surrounded
by smaller ones. The flowers carried
were cluster of La France roses.
After the ceremony breakfast was
served at the residence of Mrs. Jas. H.
Metcalfe, on North street. At 4 O'Clock
Senator and Mrs. Wolcott left for New
York in a special car, the interior of
which was filled with flowers
The groom is descendant of Oliver
Wolcott, who was in Washingtons
cabinet, and for over quarter of a cen
tury his ancestors were governors of
Connecticut. He has the honor of being
the youngest United States senator.
The after-wedding cards announced
that Mr.. and Mrs. Wolcott will be at
home Thursday, June 9th and 18th,
from until o'clock, at 1921 Connecti-
cut avenue, the beautiful house built in
Washington by Senator Cameron for his

TRIPLE MURDER.
A Wealthy Farmer, His Wife and Son,
Horribly Butchered.

WASHINGTON, Pa, May 14.-News
reached here today of triple murder
committed at Bentleysville, near here,
last night. John Crouch, an aged and
wealthy farmer, his wife and a grown-up
son, were found this morning with their
throats cut from ear to ear. The door OF
the house was standing open, and the
bed-clothing, furniture and walls
bespattered with blood. The scene
was horrible, and the news spread
rapidly about the village. The MUIR
dered persons were the wealthiest in
that section of the country, and the
theory is that the murder was COM
mitted to get the money generally sup
posed to be kept about the house.
Searching parties started out in all di-
rections, but no clue was found of the
perpetrators. There being no telegraph
or telephone facilities, nothing more can
be learned tonight.

CROP WAREHOUSES;.
The Farmers Alliance Pushing the Pick
Ter Bill for All 1t Is Worth.

WASHINGTON, May 14.-Macune, repre-
senting the Farmers Alliance, this
morning continued argument before the
ways and means committee, in favor of
the Picker bill to establish sub-treas-
uries for the receipt OF agricultural
products. To his mind no fixed volume
OF currency, no matter how great, would
meet the needs of agriculture. 1t
wanted an elastic medium. The farmer
sold his crop in the fall when prices were
lowest, and bought his supplies before
harvest, when prices were highest. His
crops were marketed in two or three
months. This annually caused a great
stringency in money.
Flower feared that the plan would lead
to banking on live stock, iron, lead and
silver ore. They were getting along now
in the latter direction at the other end
of the capital. The true remedy
for the farmers OF Illinois was
the manufacturers plan. They should
regulate production. The producers
should raise only enough produce to
meet the peoples wants, and thereby
get fair prices.
Macune proceeded to explain the pro-
cess proposed to regulate the issue of
produce certificates. He said the neces-
sity for exclusive imports of agricultural
products was obvious, if the quality of
the certificates was to be preserved
The certificates would constitute the
soundest and best currency in the world
Probably not half of the $50, 0,000,0 900 ap-
preparation asked for to put the new
machinery in action would be required,
but the sum should not be absolutely
fixed at minimum, as in time it would
be necessary to extend the system to
include all the products of labor not
covered by patents. The hearing will
be cOntinned tOmOrrOw

TARIFF TINKERING.
Three More Pages of the Mckinley Bill
Disposed of.

Disposed of.
WASHINGTON, May 14.-On motion Of
Mervill, of Kansas, this morning, the
house insisted on it's amendment to the
senate dependent pension bill, and a
conference was ordered. The house
then went into committee of the whole
on the tariff bill.
Various amendments looking to the
reduction of the duty on earthen, China
and glassware, were made on the demo-
cratic side, but met with no success. In
the course of the discussion Of one of
these amendments, McMillin said Camp
bell, of Pittsburg, glass manufactures,
asked for protection from foreign labor,
while he was charged with importing
foreign labor in violation OF the contract
labor law.
Bynum said Campbell had come be-
fore the ways and means committee and
held consultation with the gentlemen
from West Virginia, (Wilson) and him
self, and then gone away and made an
affidavit which was false from beginning
to end.
Bayne said he would take Campbell's IS
word as soon as he would that OF the
gentleman from Indiana, and he knew
them both.
Wilson, of West Virginia, confirmed
what the gentleman from Indiana had
said.
In the course of some further remarks,
Bynum said the committee on ways and
means in the formation of it's bill, had
closed the doors of the capitol against
the labor of the country, but admitted
manufacturers. Every entrance to the
capitol was closed in keeping any
body from coming in but those the ma
jority would allow. 1t admitted manu-
facturers, but if honest labor came and
knocked at the door it was not ad-
mitted. Mckinley said the imputation
of the gentleman from Indiana that the
ways and means committee had closed

The Hottest Place on Earth.

The HOTTEST Flace On Earth.
The hottest place on earth is on
the southwestern coast of Persia,
where Persia borders the gulf of
the same name. For forty eonsec-
utive days in the months of July
and August the thermometer has
been known not to fall lower than
1909, night or day, and to often
run up as high as 12So in the af.
ternoon. At Bahr1n, in the center
of the torrid part of the torrid belt,
as though it were Natures inten-
ton to make the region as unbear-
able us possible, no water can be
obtained from digging wells 100,
200 or even 500 feet deep, yet a
comparatively numerous popula-
tion contrive to live there, thanks
to coplous springs which break
forth from the bottom of the gull
more than a mile from shore. The
water from these springs is obtain
ed by divers, who dive to the bot.
tom and fill goatskin bags with the
cooling liquid and sell it for a liv.
ing. The source of these subma-
rine fountains is thought to be in
the green hills of Osman, some SOC
or 600 miles away,

How to Escape a Mad Dog.

eff people were only taught half
SO much about the way to avoid
mad dogs as they are about SUM-
stroke" said Officer Mulvihill the
other day, 1--WE would not often
hear of case of hydrophobia. A
good thing to know is that a mad
dog never turns aside from the
course he is running to bite any,
body. So If one is right in the
path of a rabid animal he can get
out of all danger by jumping to one
side and out of the path of the dog.
But if 1t is absolutely impossible
to get out of the way, the man or
woman should stand perfectly still
and face the dog. lie will turn
aside then himself and run in a
different direction, while it the
person in front of him screams and
runs away, as nine out of ten will
do, the dog will overtake and bite
the victim. Of course it requires
courage to stand still and face a
rabid dog, terrible as this animal
always looks, but the result shows
that the real danger lies in taking
flight.

Make Good Roads.

One of the heaviest taxes levied
on the farmers of the country is
imposed by poor roads. They
double the cost of hauling to and
from market, because they double
the number of loads; they take the
life and energy out of the team by
making it hard travelling, hard pull
ling and everlasting jolting and
jerking, we'll calculated to make a
horse Dalk; they break the harness,
cause extra wear of it and keep it
soiled with sweat and mud; they
STRAIN, rack and break the wagon,
necessitating the use of a heavier
one than would be needed ON a good
road, and largely reduce the period
of its usefulness; they cause loss
of time by slow travel and frequent
break-downs, and tax the patience
as we'll as the purse. In fact they
area costly nuisance which would
not be endured if farmers realized
the extent to which they are taxed
by their use-an injury to every.
body and benefit to nobody.

A Railway Under Water.

From the London Daily News.
The most remarkable short line
of railway in the world is probably
the submerged railway at Onton,
near Bilboa, described in the cur
rent part of Chambers Journal. 1t
runs down an evenly sloping shore
in double line to a distance of $50
feet, and has been constructed by a
Spanish engineer for the sole pur-
pose of facilitating the shipment OF
iron ores. The only car is a mas
sive iron tower on wheels in the
shape of a pyramid rising seventy
feet from the track. Upon the
platform of this tower the ores are
placed and thus are conveyed to
the vessel-the pyramidal car,
whose wheels are always under
water, returning automatically as
its cargo has been mechanically
shot into the ships hold.
