is HE HEIzER's MURDERER?
The Police Inclined to Suspect the Des.
perado Simms.

The Police Inclined to Suspect the Des-
perado Simms.
Officer William j. Kenny, of the Sixth Pre-
cinct, had Charles Simms, notorious negro
highwayman, before the Police Court Friday
afternoon, charged with three cases of highway
robbery. He stood up an old soldier and took
all he had. Frederick Hoeder was his next
victim and from him he took $19.50; Henry Nc
Ceney was the third, who handed up $3.50;
James Smms was another whom he knocked
senseless with blackjack and when
he went through him and found nothing,
took his overcoat. About year ago Simms
and his pal, Otto Williams, robbed an old gen
tleman in Judiciary Square. Williams escaped,
but Simms was caught. Judge Miller sent him
to the grand jury, but that body failed to find
an Indictment against him and he was set free,
and ever since has been robbng right and left.
In the Police Court Smms was sent to the Grand
Jury under SO, 900 bail. The police are now work.
ing on clue that may implicate this pair in the
recent horrible robbery and murder of Mr..
Hezer, and are inclined to believe that they
are on the right track. This pair of highway
men and desperadoes are not above such deed,
and would not allow murder to stand in their
way, if money was in sight. 1t will be remem-
bered that Mr.. Heizer stated he could not re-
member whether his assailants were white or
black so suddenly was he garroted, but his
description, as far as he was able to tell, talies
with the men. Simms shot at and tried to kill
Officer Kimmell in Judiciary Square, but the
officer was too quick. Officer Kenney is work
ing up the case. Simms was arrested by Officer
Loanes, of the First Precinct, at the instance of
Officer Kenney.

ATTORNEY HoGE RESIGNS

At the Request of Attorney General Miller.
AT the request OF Attorney General Miller
Judge Hoge, of West Virginia, the United
States District Attorney for the District of Co.
lumbia, has rendered his resignation to the
President.
The West Virginia Democratic members of
Congress, as well as his many friends in Wash
ington, are indignant at the demand for the
resignation of District Attorney Hoge. They
think it a very small piece of business on the
part of the Administration to demand the resg-
nation OF Judge Hoge before his term of service
has expired, in view of the fact that his Repub-
lcan predecessor, Mr.. Worthngton, was
allowed TO serve out his full term by President
Cleveland Representative Wilson, of West
Virginia, who succeeded Judge Hoge in Con-
gress said yesterday: mo one who knows
has not discharged faithfully and intelligently
all the duties of his Office Any intmations or
allegations to the contrary are disengenuous
and contemplate. There can be no reason for
his removal at this time, except that his place
is wanted for some hungry Republican. 1t is
disgraceful for the Administration to attempt
to excuse or justify its action on the pretext
that Judge Hoge has not made an efficient
and conscientious District Attorney. 1t is
disgraceful to remove him before the completion
of his term of Office, after Mr.. Cleveland's
courtesy in allowing his predecessor to retain
his place until his commission had expired"
Representative Anderson, of West Virginia,
said: ~ have known Judge Hoge since was a
boy, and i know him to be an upright and hon
orable gentleman. He has discharged faithfully
every duty he has ever undertaken, and his re-
moval now can be for no other cause than that
his place ie wanted for some Republican"

A LADY BUFFALO LOOSE.
She Made Things Lively About the Smith
sonian for While.

She Made Things Lively About the Smith
sonian for a While.
One of the buffalo COWS, at the 'Zoo' behind
the Smithsonian Institute, got out of her pen
yesterday afternoon and made herself very in
teresting to large excursion party of farmers
from Shepherdstown, w. Va. The farmers
thought they knew all about COWS, and bravely
started in to drive the big animal back to its
pen. But the brute had sniff of liberty, and
instead of going toward the pen ran directly
away from it, chased by the farmers, led by one
weighing over two hundred pounds. They
got Mrs. Buffalo at last cornered,
and advanced boldly toward her expecting
the queen of the plains to meekly submit.
Stationkeeper Weldon, armed with pitch
buffalo to return, but with defiant snort, and a
kick of her heels, throwing dirt high in the
air, the COW made charge on the gang, and
for time it looked as if there would be some
one injured The big farmers climbed trees,
jumped railings and ran up againstt the Museum
building in their fright, while Mr.. Weldon
dropped his pitchfork and ran clear out on b
street. 1t was a thrilling scene, and
perhaps the most excited spectators Of
it all were the other buffalos who were
believing and rushing around their pens in a
violent manner After chasing all of the brave
farmers out of the lot the animal quietly walked
to its pen and entered as unconcerned as If
nothing unusual had happened. When she did
this and the gate was secured the farmers con-
gregated together and told how it should have
been accomplished but wasn't, and Mr.. Weldon
returned from street easy and free. The eX-
citement lasted about two hours and there were
about 1000 people to witness the sight.

1T is LIKELY TO FAIL.
Defects in the Treaty for the Repression
of the Slave Trade.

Defects in the Treaty for the Repression
of the Slave Trade.
The members of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee of the Senate some days ago gave their
assent to the chairman to make favorable re-
port from the committee upon the treaty for the
repression of the African slave trade and for
the restriction of the importation and sale of
spirituous liquors in African territory. 1t now
appears that that assent was given upon mis-
impression of the contents OF the treaty, If not,
in fact, in almost total ignorance of the scope
of this important proposed international com
pact. Since then the attention of these men,
bers has been called to publications in the news
papers relative to several defects or objection
able features in this act of the Brussels confer
ence, and more than one member has expressed
serious misgivings as to the propriety of con-
senting to the ratification of the treaty. In ad-
dition to these misgivings relative to the docu-
ment itself, the character of one of the
agents of the United States who was clothed
with penipotentiary power to act for this
Government at the Brussels conference
having been shown up in such unfavorable
light by newspaper publications, 1t is doubtful
If favorable action can be had on the treaty at
the present session of the Senate. In that event
the treaty would fail, as far as the United States
Government is concerned, because one Of the
provisions of the agreement is that ratifications
shall be deposited at Brussels by or before the
I'd of next July Then it would probably be in
order for the European powers which joined
with this Government in making the treaty to
either extend the time for deposit of ratifica-
tions or to themselves ratify the act of the con-
vention, irrespective of the United States still
hoping to have the latter Government come
into the compact at later time.
The enforced absence of Senator Sherman
with his dying brother in New York delayed
action upon the treaty by the Senate.
