state that the general had received no visitors
No weapon was found. and the furniture was
not disarranged. the police are convinced that
the valet had nothing to do with the shooting.
The evidence clear.y points to assassination,
and the assassn il believed to be Russian
Pole named Podelsky. a servant, who has alb

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The Democrat,
caucus tonight was well attended. A
letter from Randall was read which urged
a continuance of the fight. He advised the
members OF the minority to stick to their
guns and lose not an opportunity to keen
the Republicans from attempting to pass on
any contested election cases in the absence
OF new code of rules. Randall urged q
renewal OF tilibustering tactics, claiming
that they are right and proper under the
circumstances. He demanded that the
Democrats should prevent any legislation
until new code OF rules was brought in
ana also advised against the plan of leay
ing the House in body
Carllsle told the caucus there had been
only three meetings of the committee on
rules. He never received notice in writing
OF any meeting, but was sent for by Reed.
and met him, Mckinley and Cannon in
the speakers room. They discussed
the rules for about an hour and
nave had but two meetings since

Hon. Jeremiah wilson's Argument.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-The House com.
mlttee on Indian affairs has ordered a favor
able report on the bill authorizing the sec
rotary OF the interior to procure and submit
TO Congress proposal for sale to the
United States of the western part of the
Crow Indian reservation in Montana.
The House committee on territories to
day heard arguments by Hon. Jeremiah
Wilson, of this city, on the bill for the ad-
mission OF the territory OF Idaho as a state
OF the union. Mr.. Wilson appeared in be-
nall OF the MormOnS and addressed the
committee IN opposition to q provision in
the constitution of Idaho, adopted at Boise
city last year, DISTINGUISHING the Mormons
He contended that the only safe ground for
Inc committee TO take IN this matter was TO
zeal with this as with every case where q
man commits crime, not TO inquire what
ne believes or teaches, bnt when that he
ne1 breaks out into an overt act, which is
the commission OF a crime, then punish him
by ACKNOWLEDGMENT after the commission
OF an overt act. He said he protested
against depriving the % 900 Mormons i'm the
territory or their rights, privileges and i'm
minutes as American citizens and against
imposing upon them taxation and compel
ing them to bear all the burdens of the
state government and at the same time re
fuSe them those rights. Wilson also argued
that the population of the territory was in
adequate to bear with any degree of con-
Venlence the burdens of state government.

Guilty arose over the alleged action of young
Edmunds in stating that Ho.gh had wooed
and won popular society belle, the daugh-
ter OF the wealthy president of transpor-
tatlon company, and that they had phghted
their troth. Yesterday Hough went to
Edmunds and demanded that he should
apologize to the young lady for the un-
warranted statement. This Edmunds de-
cllned to do, whereupon Hough declared
that If Edmunds would step outside the
bank counter he would wipe up the floor
with him. To this Edmunds responded:

CHICAGO, Jan. 3l.-Amory B. Ludston. of
London, who is largely interested in
English stock companies, is in the city to.
day on his way to Colorado, where he ex.
poets to visit silver quartz mills In con-
versation he said: at is not at all strange
that London capitalists are investing largely
In American properties. What | wonder
at Is that they did not sooner discover that
the United States offered safe and sure
profits to investors. 1t is only within
the last few years that English CAPT
tai has been directed toward Amer
lea, but already there are twelve
great syndicates which have representa-
tlVes IN this country on the lookout for
large investments. These syndicates make
a business Of floating stock in the London
money market, but do not place invest
ments Tor private individuals and small
corporations. Wealthy Londoners who
We're formerly content to remain at home
and buy up the stock offered by syndicates,
are taking trips to America for the
purpose OF looking over the ground
ana investing their own money.
Ihese men are helping America more than
they think. When they get home they find
That their money pays them nearly twice
as much as it would if they invested in
London. They know what builds up
quently they are ready to urge their friends
to invest and to invest more themselves,
and L suppose that already half the
money led men in England hold stock in
American concerns. 1t is hard
for one who has never lived
IN England to understand how
hard it is to carry forward schemes or pro
lects in that country. The law places all
sorts of restrictions upon all money trans
actions which are in any degree out of the
ordinary buy and sell. You have to paw
the government big fee before you can
float the stock of a foreign company on the |
London market. l understand that the |
company which made the Minneapolis mill |
zeal hard topay out 5000, CO0in fees of var
Gus sorts before the stock was all sold. |
Conservative London capitalists are con
lent with less than 3 per cent He will not |
invest in any company which is advertised |
% pay over per cent. London bankers
Will not pay interest on deposits, however
arge. Under these circumstances pro-
yresslve business man must look outside of
england for profitable investments. For
