tives Silvey, Byram and Cody kept a
sharp lookout for the trunk which was
in Wells Fargo's express Office in Oak
land. Ever since the 14th OF the month
the Office has been shadowed night and
dav. The officers were sanguine of sue
cess. They felt sure that sooner or later
the owner would apply for the trunk.
Everything was spoiled yesterday morn
ing, however, by the publication of a
telegram dated Los Angeles, which re-
cited the details OF Sly's capture by
Pinkerton. This put Hedpeth on his
guard and forced him to seek seclusion
as remote from danger as possible. Yes
terday, however, the watchful officers
were rewarded by seeing Florence
Waterman walk into Wells Fargo's Of
flee and inquire for the trunk. OF course
she did not find it for it was already in
the possession Of Captain Lees.
About half an hour before the woman
called at the express office she rented
room in Oakland, telling the landlady
that she expected widowed sister to
arrive that day from Salt Lake City, and
she wanted to have her trunk sent
to the room. After the woman
left the express office, she gave
the officers a very lively chase.
1t was raining fearfully, but she
went on, plodding around block after
block, until finally the detectives. firing
OF. sprinting in the rain, overlook the
fleeing beauty, arrested her and brought
her to this city. f5
Captain Lees says the woman refuses
to talk at all, but she does not deny any
thing, not even that she is the wife of
Hedpeth. She will probably be held as
an accessory.
Whitaker and Pinkerton came up
from Los Angeles on Sunday evening
with Sly in charge. They were met at
Modesto by Captain Lees. Sly con-
sented to go right on east after Lees had
explained to him that it would only be
a matter of two weeks before extradition
papers would arrive. Consequently the
party took the evening train for Sacra-
mento, and there caught the eastern
overland.
An effort will be made to induce the
woman to tell what she knows, but the
outlook is not promising. Captain Lees
says there was clothing in the trunk,
but declines to gointo details concerning
its contents.

New York, Dec. 30.-There is no COM
munication between the city and Sandy
Hook, the gale of the past forty-eight
hours having torn down the telegraph
wires. No news has yet been received
at quarantine concerning the vessels at
the Hook during the past twenty-four
hours, and maritime circles are greatly
exercised as to what steamships and
other craft are lying outside the bay
waiting for the wind to abate. gale
is blowing off shore thirty miles an
hour, and many smaller vessels are hav-
ing a hard time to keep their anchorage.
The Egyptian Monarch is the only
steamer which arrived at quarantine
this morning, but no report has been re-
ceived yet from her, the quarantine
wires not being in good order.

SAN BERNARDINo, CAL, Dec. 30.-There
was great excitement at the tug of war

TO pull were Redlands and Mound
City, and after quite a determined
struggle of hours and 16 minutes the
Redlanders gave up the heat, as one of
their men, boy of IS years. was taken
sick. Otherwise the pull would have
lasted longer, as the Redlands team was
ahead until their man took sick At
IL :03 a. m. the Riverside and San Ber-
nardino teams went together, and after
pull of one hour the Riverside team
was declared the winner OF the heat.
The tournament will close this evening.

WASHINGTON WEATHER.
Considerable Snow Reported in the
Spokane Plateau.

SPOKANE, Wash, Dec. 30.-The snow
fall in the vicinity of Spokane has been
light. In Palouse county, however,
snow fell much deeper, assuring good
crops next season. In the cuts along
the Northern and Union Pacific roads
the snow has drifted to great depths
and caused some delay to trains. In
the mountains the snow lies very deep
for this season of the year. The Null
Ian branch of the Northern Pacific has
been blocked by snow twice during the
winter. Upon the plateau of Central
Washington, between Spokane and the
Columbia river, the snowfall has been
light, particularly in Coulee and west
ern Big Bend. In eastern and northern
Big Bend there has been considerable
snow. No loss of stock is yet reported.

night and day have been issued, the
orders have gone there, not here. The
turret armor is necessity.
Information also has been received oil
the progress made at the Bethlehem
works. The latter mandatory has the
contract to mako the barbette armor.
This plating covers the machinery which
in a stationary apartment moves the
gun in the turret above. The gun car
riages are also protected by barbette.
At the Union Iron works it is understood
the armor for the aft barbette is almost
complete at the Bethlehem works, and
that it will be shipped probably ON Feb
ruary 1st next. When the forward
barbette will be completed is matter
for conjecture. The forgings have been
done and they are partly tubed, but
they have yet to be machined.
NO EVIDENCE OF HosTILITIEs.
BETHLEHEM, Pa, Dec. 30.-An official
OF the Bethlehem Iron company said this
morning that they had received no noti-
tication from the navy department to
hasten the manufacture of the armor
plate for the coast defense vessel Mon
terey, or any other vessel, and had no
evidence from government sources that
hostilities with Chile were close at hand.

SNOW IN THE sIERRAs.
No Prospect of Finding the Men Lost
Near Lake Tahoe.

CARSON, New, Dec. 3d. Yesterday
and last night snow fell in the valley to
the depth of one foot; in the mountains
from five to twenty feet are piled up.
The searchers for the men lost have not
returned. The snow, with the fresh
deposit, is almost too soft for snowshoes.
1t is hardly possible with this great
depth that the bodies can be discovered
at all. 1t may be necessary, if snow
continues to fall, to wait till nextspring.
All the available means in the reach of
woodmen have been utilized in the
search, without good results.

ALL TERMS REFUSED
General Manager Lynch Says
the Coke Strike is Over.
Ev1CT1oNs STILL GOING ON
italian WOrkmen Are Being Imported Into
the Region.

Less Than One Hundred Desertions From
the Ranks of tho Strikers Since the Bat
tie Commenced - Pinkerton Men Are
Guarding the Works Where the Italians
Are EmpIoyed-Labor Leaders Active.
CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, May 2.-The evic-
ton of the families of strikers from the
houses owned by the coke operators still
continues, and the families thus made
homeless are living in sheds, barns OF
tents, as the labor union is able to pro-
vide.
Workmen, mostly Italian, are being i'm
ported into the region from other coal
producing places, and one after another
she coke ovens are being started into
operation. There have been less than one
hundred assertions from the ranks of the
strikers since the strike commenced,
Rearly twelve weeks ago, and many of
the men imported into the region to take
the places of strikers have been induced
to join the strike. Still it is plainly evil
dent that there is more coke being pro-
duced here than has been the case at an
time previously since the strike COM
menced, and the indications now are that
even this amount will soon be increased.
During the week that closed last night
this region has produced about one-fourth
its capacity, but of course this includes
the product of those plants with which
the labor organizations have no contro-
versy 1t looks now as though the strik
ers would remain out indefinitely and
that little by little their places would be
filled by Italians.
General Manager Lynch said to @ cor
respondent yesterday that the strike is
over.
eve are making all the coke we need"
he said, Ito fill our orders. The market
is very dull and there is no demand for
coke.n
"Would you consent to arbitrate the
questions in dispute?'' he was asked.
''There is nothing to arbitrate," he
said, unconsciously using the language
that Vice-President Webb, of the New
York Central, has made memorable. eve
have determined the terms upon which
we will employ men and the prices we
will pay for labor. If these men do not
want to work on these terms and at those
prices we will find men who do; but we
are through with running our business
in partnership with a master workman
from Ohio, or a vice president from In
diana, or a delegate from somewhere else
If our men have any grievances we are
willing to talk it over with them, but we
are through WIN Cuese AnPoF'eu I'ool
agitators, who want to run our business
for u.s."
Hundreds of Pinkerton men are guard
ing the works where the Italians are en-
ployed and the strikers are not allowed
| to get near them. Two strikers and an
Italian interpreter at Adelaide disguised
| themselves as Italian laborers, and were
thus enabled to get through the Pinker-
ton lines, and they induced 60 of the men
to join the strikers. The labor leaders
say that not plant in the region will
run two hours after the Pinkerton guards
| are removed.

THE SEAL QUESTION.
Secretary Foster is Giving the Question
Much Attention.

Secretary Foster is Giving the Question
Much Attention.
WASHINGTON, May 2.-Secretary Foster
has fixed the maximum limit of seals to
be taken this season by the North Ameri-
can Commercial Company at 10000. The
agent of the United States at the seal
islands, by the instructions now being
prepared, is vested with the broadcast dis
erection as to limiting this number, as his
Judgment may dictate, and the interest
of the United States in the preservation
of the seal fisheries may demand
Secretary Foster said that no question
had given him SO much concern since
he assumed charge OF the Treasury De-
partment as the seal fisheries. He had
given the matter more thought than any
other question presented to him.

THE SANE IN MAD HOUSES.
Practically, No Such Case Ever Occurred
the Allenists Declare.

Practically, No Such Case Ever Occurred,
the Alienists Declare.
WASHINGTON, May 2. AT the last ses-
sion Of the Association of Medical Super
intendents of American Institutions for
the Insane, held at the Arlington Hotel,
the society, by vigorous resolution, con-
demned that public impression that
patients were often confined in private
asylums when insanity was not certain.
They unanimously agreed that a case of
improper confinement practically never
happened.
In the same spirit the society insisted
on the necessity of watching the letters
coming from patients in an asylum, not
as the public supposes, to intercept any
complaint from patients, but for the evil
dent reason that often delusional ideas in
the minds of patients can be discovered
fully through letters, and thus, perhaps,
furnishavaluable aid to treatment.
And that furthermore such letters often
contain language that neither the patient
nor his outside friends would wish ever
to see the light, were the writer in his
sound mind.
For such reasons, and for no sother was
Il necessary that all letters be supervised
by the asylum authorities.

THE GREAT MYSTERY
New Points in the Barnaby
Poisoning Case.
DIR. GRAVES QUEER MOVEMENTS.
He Remained Secluded When He Wsnt
to Denver.

His Great Surprise Over the Second VIII
The Box Found in Which the Poison
Gus Fluid Was Sent to Denver-Dr.
Graves Signature Compared with the
Inscription on the Bottle.
DENVER, May 2--The mysterious poison
ing of Mrs. Josephine Barnaby continues
to attract attention.
DIR. Graves's movements have been
traced from the moment he laded in Den
yer, on Friday morning, April "a, until
he left that night. DR.. Graves arrived on
Friday morning at o clock and went di-
rectly to the Gilsey House, and thence to
Mr.. Worrell's home on William street.
He was there about fifteen minutes,
long enough to hear the story of Mrs. bar
naby's death. He expressed deep regret
for her death, and declared that she was
"his greatest friend"
After he left the house he called at Mr..
Worrell's Office and they. talked the mat
ter over. He asked about the will made
in 1889. He said he knew that such a
will had been made. He had never seen
it and did not know its terms, only in a
general way, as the lawyers had outlined
it to him. Mr.. Worrell told him about
Iuc SSCOhu duu lstSo Will Luduo III SueSIcr,
Pa, last January.
"Dr Graves" said Mr. Worrell, 'fseemed
greatly surprised. He jumped at least
an inch from his chair when told him
that, and there are other witnesses here
who will say the same thing.
DR.. Graves remained secluded in pri-
vate room until he WENT away that
evening with the remains. Mr.. Worrell
has found the box in which the bottle
containing the poisonous fluid was sent to
Denver. 1t will be sent East. 1t has been
mistakingly understood that the box con-
tanning the fluid arrived in Denver on April
8, and that it must have been sent
from Boston on March 80 or 81. As a
matter of fact, the box arrived at the
postoffi &c on March 81, and was brought
to Mr.. Worrelrs Office onsApril 3. In that
case, the box must have been put in the
Boston postof1ice on March 90 or 81, sup
posing that it came through without de-
lay. Where DR.. Graves was on those
dates has never appeared.
A fac-simile of DR.. Graves signature
in the hotel register was discovered to-
day. 1t is clear that he used style.
graph.
The slope and general style of hand
writing appear similar to the inscription
on the bottle, with the noticeable fact
that the writing on the inscription is evi.
IDENTIFY much more careful and finished.

BIsMARoK's ELECTION ASSURED.
The Latest Returns Place Him Far Ahead
of Hts Opponent.


BERLIN, May 2.-From the latest news
at hand it appears probable that Prince
Bismarck may poll double the number Of
votes OF his Socialist opponent ON the Sec
ond ballot in the Geestemunde district.
The author Of Imperial Germany" Mr..
Sidney Whitman, has just returned from
a visit to Prince Bismarck. He says that
the veteran politician is in excellent
spirits, and that he has been looking for
ward with perfect confidence to the final
issue of the election.
From all that Prince Bismarck cared to
say on she subject, Mr.. Whitman gathered
that he would appear in the Reichstag
only on important occasions, and that he
considered himself unable to become q
regular attendant at the sitting of the
imperial Parliament.
As the later returns of the bye-election
at Geestemunde come in they show that
the return of Prince Bismarck to the
Reichstag is now certain, as it will be inn
possible for Herr Schmalfeld, his Socialist
opponent, in the districts mot yet heard
from to overcome the present majority
given to Prince Bismarck.
Up to II o'clock the returns had been
received from seventy-six election dis
tricts. They show that in these districts
Prince Bismarck has received 1896 votes
and Herr Schmalfeld $3.50.

Indians are Enlisting.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The War Depart
ment is much pleased with the success it
has met in the enlistment of Indians in
the army. Already three troops have
been formed and the department expects
to have others in a short time. 1t is the
intention :of the department to utilize
Indians who graduate from the Indian
schools in the capacity of tailors, cooks.
mechanics, blacksmiths, ETC., in connec-
ton with the Indian companies and the
Indian Bureau will be urged to do all in
their power to educate Indian youths to
fill such positions.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1891-05-02

WASHINGTON, May 2.-Treasurer Ne
beker, carrying out Secretary Fosters
plan of distributing subsidiary coin
throughout the United States, has issued
the following circular: 1.-THE coinage of
the standard silver dollars authorized by
the Act of February %, 1878, having been
discontinued by the Act of July IA, 1890,
the Treasurer finds it inconvenient to fur
nish them otherwise than in redemption
of silver certificates or treasury notes, but
will forward silver half dollars,
quarter dollars or dimes to any ad-
dress, free of cost for transportation by
express in sums of 5000 or more, or by
registered mail in packages OF
