bribery. or CowarAice, whlchs

During the debate in the House on
the Wilson bill thirty-fve Democratic
members denounced the measure as UNI
patriotic, un-American, infamous and
fatal to the interests Of American
w5rkingmen, but when it came to a
vote only seventeen of their number
had the tcmerity to vote against it.
OF the latter number four were from
Louisiana and opposed the bill simply
because it removed the bounty from
sugar. What became OF the convic-
tions OF the other eighteen? After
having denounced the bill as inimical
to the interests OF their constituents
they were induced, shamefacedly. it is
true, to vote for its passage. BY doing
90 they are sure to be re~pudiated by
their Constituents. What then was the
consideration held out to them? IL II

ministrati0n already guilty Of bribing
legislation by promises of Office would

GLADSTONE, N. j.. Dec. Apgar Of
this place was in the woods u few days ago with
his team after a load OF cord wood. While hs
was loading the wood on his wagon In an old
road, q partridge, as the ruffCd grouse is called
in this part OF New Jersey, came out of the
woods TO the road and lit on one OF the front
wheels Of the wagon, within two feet OF which
Apgar was standing. As Apgar is n bird hunter
OF many years experience and knows how difi-
cult 1t Is to get within shooting distance OF this

of this one astounded him, the more so as, when
he tossed directly over it's head the stick of

dropped down on the wheel. the partridge mere-

Pen.,ou. for NJ. Burde.u,. F.-.ny.

PARIS, Dec. 2O.-A hitch in the progress Of the
bill granting a pension to the widow of the late
NJ. Auguste Burdeau, President Of the Chamber
Of Deputies, caused an interruption of the sit
ting Of that body to-day. The bill passed is
second reading, despite the strenuous oppoei-
ton of NM. de Baudry d'Assen, Faberot, and
Prudent-Dervillers but the vote on the amend
ment offered by the opposition providing for a
division OF the pension between the mother of
NJ. Burdeau and his widow failed to find a
quorum. The member of the Centre sulked
and would not respond to their names, conse-
quently the sitting was suspended, After a
NJ. Burdeau's mother 5000 francs q year and
his widow 5000 francs. In case of the death Of
NJ. Burdeau's mother and widow, the pens ions
will revert to his sons until they attain their
majority and to his daughter during her life
time. The Governments modification Is re-
garded as q great victory for the opposition.

Tsrdy Discovery OF . Terrible Crime .,
Topeka.

TOPEKA, Kan. Dec. 2O.-The body OF Mrs. A.
d. Matson was found in her home this after
noon. She had evidently been assaulted and
murdered ten days ago. A boy who had been de-
livering milk observed that the cans which he
left had not been taken in for nearly two weeks.
and to-day notified the police. The body was
found in a back room, covered with old clothes
and rags, and several bushels OF potatoes were
piled on the head, which had been crushed with
an axe that stood near by. Most Of the neigh
bors were colored people, with whom Mrs. Mat
son did not associate, and they thought nothing
of not having seen her for several days.
After the double crime had been committed
the house was robbed Of nearly everything OF
value. There Is no clue 10 the perpetrator. Mrs.
Board Of Education and at one time a city
teacher. She was supposed to have considerable
money and owned five or six houses in the city.
Her husband left her four years ago and took UP
a homestead in California, where he has since
lived. Mrs. MatsOn was IA prominent member
OF the Topeka Equal Suffrage Association.

CASHIER BIELBY.s DEFALcAr1ox,
The Net Loss 60 the Rors B.rk Will Not
Exceed $1,000 Mayor GiIiett SIN Missius.


ROME, N. Y. Dec. 2O.-The defalcatlon in the
Central National Bank Of this city, the arrest
and confession OF the cashier. John F. Bielby,
and the flight Of the teller. Samuel Gillett, who
is Mayor Of the city, are still causing much ex-
element here. The bank still remains closed,
but the prospects for the resumption Of busi-
ness are now quite bright. The defalcation.
which promised yesterday to run up to $50. 900
or $50. 900, will, II is believed, not exceed $4,000.
To-day Mr.. Bielby was arraigned before United
States Commissioner f. A. Rowland. United
States District Attorney Poucher Of OsweGo APP
peared for the prosecution, and G. T. Titus Of
Rome for the defendant. Mr.. Bielby pleaded
not guilty to the charge Of embezzlement and
waived examination. The Government decided
to prove a prima facie case. and bank Examiner
Van Vranken was sworn. lie testified that
he had found an apparent shortage in the
bank accounts aggreSating, as far "a the
defendant was concerned, about $4,000.
but the defendant had stated that he
could account for about $4,000 of this

overstates the account charged to that bank to
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Van vranken's testi-
mony Commissioner Rowland decided to hold
the defendant for the United States Grand
Jury. which sits in Albany on the third Wednes-
day IN January. The defendant was admitted
to bail In the sum Of 81, 900.
It has been fully determined that the banks
loss is only about $4,000. The surplus Of the
institution is 100000. and the bond Of the
cashier Is 100000. In addition to this Bielby
has $4,000 in securities to turn over to the bank.
There IN an item of $4,000 put on the pass book
of the City Chamberlain which has not been
credited, and the shortage Of which is attributed
to the teller. There is also In the total shortage
an item in doubt OF $500 in the National Park
Bank which Bielby denies any knowledge of.
and which may or may not be chargeablo to
the teller. These items are figured In the total
shortage, which Is now given at $37 900. De-
Quoting from this the $4,000 turned back into
the bank by Bielby leaves the actual shortage
SEQ 900; deducting from this the amount of
Blelby's bond leaves the net loss TO the bank
50, 900.

RoME, Dec. 20.-1n consequence Of the action
brought by Premier aud Mime. Crispi against ex-
Premier Giolitti and others for libel. the exam
lining Judge in tho case has questioned several
persons implicated, including Signor Tanlongo,
formerly Governor Of the Banca Romano.
Among the letters included in the documents
submitted by Signor Giolitti was one from
Slgnor TanlonRo fascinating that the conduct
Of Premier Crispi In connection with the bank
scandals had been most atroclous. Signor Tan
longo told the Judge that while he was in prison
awaiting his trial he had been removed In the
night in a carriage and conveyed tn the Minis
try Of theg Interior, over which department
Signor Giolittl at that time presided. There.
under pressure brought to bear upon him by
Giolitti. he was compelled to write the letter
mentioned. which Tanlongo admitted to be a
gross calumny. IL Is said that the Judge Is IN
possession of abundant proof of the absolute
truth Of Tanlongo's story.
The concentration of troops which began on
the eve of the propagation OF Parliament has
been continued without cessation. A semi-ofh-
ciRl statement says that the movement is made
only in the ordinary course Of military DISPOSE
tion to keep the garrison complete. The oppose
ton editors and Deputies ridicule such explana-
tiOns and insist that the Government Ii prepar-
