BILL COOKS CAPTURE.
Outlaw Was SO Surprised He Los
His Nerve.

Outlaw Was So Surprised He Lost
His Nerve.
Santa Fe. N NJ. Jan. 25.-Unlted States
Marshal Hall today received a dispatch
from Sheriff c. c. Perry, of Chaves
county, who yesterday captured Bill
Cook, the notorious Oklahoma outlaw,
stating that the prisoner had been safely
landed in the county jail at Roswell this
afternoon. The outlaws capture was eff
fected at the isolated cattle ranch sod
house on the great plains, a. few miles
southeast of old Fort Sumner. Perry and
two deputies were in search of horse
thieves east of Fort Sumner yesterday.
when Sheriff Perry met and recognized
Cook at the first glance. Quicker than a
flash Perry and his men had their Win
chesters up and Cook was so thoroughly
surprised that he lost his nerve, and, al
though he had two siX-shooterS about
his waist, his hands went up at the COM
on his wrists and he was mounted and
strapped on his own horse, which was
found tied on the plains near the cabin:
One deputy led the animal, while Sheruf
Perry and his other deputy rode behind
them. Thus the trip to Roswell was
made a distance of siXty-t1Ve mlles.
Marshal Hill expects to hear from the
United States district attorney OF Okla
homa Arkansas and Texas, to whom ne
wired last night announcing COOK S cap
ture. 1t is said that with the state, eA-
press and railroad company OlLelS lASAS
is a reward of SIS, 900 for Cooks capture.
In an interview with the captured
bandit at Roswell, he acknowledged
himself as Bill Cook, and said that
when captured he was on his way 10
Old Mexico and meant to quit the
highway business. He continued:
'"TJ1e officers have me and will take
me back where I am known, and
there is mo use for me TO deny it, but
don't give me hell like the other Eel
lows have, for have not committed
half the crimes that are charged to
me.
81 have done all my working on the
open highway, never killed anyone nor
have 1 ever robbed a poor man unless
it was of a, horse or food that l was
compelled to have when lodging the
officers.
MY brother Jim was never con-
nected with my train Tobbsries and
never had anything to 10 with the
Rock Island or Texas Pacific 1obher-
les, but did rob the Frisco st Red
Fork last July. Five other boys were
with me. had nothing to do with the
bank robberies. 1 was not in but one
robbery. and if in licted for that under
the name of Bill Cook will plead
gliltY.''

makes several telling points. 1t sets forth
that since the question Of the islands was
in Congress before. many fresh facts
have come to light, and many members
of The Senate and House have changed
their minds upon the subject. In every
instance the alteration OF views has been
from hostility TO friendllDeSs for Hawaii

washington, Jan. 13.-Late news
paper advices received at the Japan
esa legation are to- the effect that the
reform programme presented to the.
Corean government by the. japanese is
making satisfactory progress. This
programme. according to the Kigi,
tnewspapeD was presented TO the king
of Corea on the 10th of November and
was approved by him. The PROPOSE
tions included. among others. the fol
lowing:
That the administrative power.should
center in the hands of one man: court.
affairs should be distinctly separate
from the general administration Of the
country, the court and state affairs
having hitherto been mixed up. A Sow
aereign is bound to obey the laws of his
own. country; the court should be syS-
teinatically organized; the functions
and competence Of the cabinet and the
various departments of state should be
determined; taxes should be unified by
the finance department, a military sys-
tenn should be established, and after
this has been placed on sound foot
ing the addition of navy is expected;

with, it being a. standing fault in
Corea, from the court to the lowest Of
flee, to indulge in unnecessary display
and useless ceremonialS; a. criminal
code should be enacted; the police au-
thorities should be unified; the disci-
pline of government flnctionaries
should be rigidly enforced and any
such practice as that in vogue of sell
ing government office must be abol-
ished. The authority of local officials
should be arranged according to a
fixed system; promising youths should
be sent to study in Japan; and the uni
fication of the national policy in reaui-
site in order to establish the indepen-
dence of the country on a sound basis
and effectively to reform home affairs.
The -Won-Kun, until recently the
aged regent OF Corea, and who was
depoSed for sending letters to the
Chinese generals in Pfyong-Y anS,, has
apologized to the Japanese representa-
tive and declared, by way of showing
his Repentance, that he should not
take any further part in the active pol
jtics of the country.
I A difficulty at present on the horizon
of Corean politics IS said to be the in
satiable ambition of the queen to in
terfere in state affairs. Obliged. to
curb her ambition while her inveterate
enemy, the Won-Kun; was at the
head Of the administration, she is now
watching am opportunity to regain
her former position and such an OPP
portunity has presented itself in the
gradual wane of the old statesman's
power and his ultimate retirement.

distress that the Japanese army is Ia

point of starvation and thirst. The cold
is intense and there is no wood to cook
their rice with, or water TO drink.
Many of them have been frozen to

A Strike in BrookIyn.

New York, Jan. 13.-Thau the Brook
lyn trolley lines. will be tied up is now
almost certain, but just when is the
question. From what can be learned
from the men and their leaders, the
event is likely to take place at s O'Clock
tomorrow morning.
The men are in favor of this move
ment and the leaders have already ex-
pressed their intention of carrying out
their wishes. AT the various trolley
stations today the forenen were served
with notices from their railway officials
to the effect that every man who re-
fused to take out a car at any Tine
would be discharged.
Later, at a meeting of the board Of
the ID. A, K. of L., tonight, Master
Workman Connolly gave out the brief
statement that the employees of all
street railways in Brooklyn, with the
exception of the Smith and Jay street
line, would strike at 5 O'clock tomorrow
morning. IN explanation, he said
President Slocum, of the latter line,
had agreed to accept the terms as pro-
posed by the men.
Previous to the meeting, Connolly
said that in the early evening the 1000
electrical workers employed by the
various companies had BEEN asked by
the officials if, in the event of a, strike,
they would take the places of the mo-
tormen and conductors, and that they
had refused. Thereupon they were told
there was no further work for them.
AS the conductors and motormen of the
various lines came in tonight for the
final trip of the day they made the
usual inquiry as to what car they
should take out in the morning. They
were told they would be required to
take none out as no schedule had Been
arranged. This is looked on as indf-
eating a lockout.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Representatiye'
Holman, chairman of the House Commit
tee on Indian Affairs. has prepared a re-
port to accompany the Indian appropri-
alton bill. It Shows the total appropria-
tons for 1895 were s6es,5S9 less than for
1894 while this bill providing for 1896 car
ries a total of S6,496S20, a reduction of
S23S 10 below the appropriation bill for
1895
Many of the reductions were made up
on the recommendation of the commits
Sioner of Indian affairs. Representative
Holman says; while there is a materi-
al reduction from the estimates. especial
ly as to contingent expenditures, 1t is un-
derSto0d by the Committee on Indian AT
fairs that in the main the rerduc tionS will
not eTnbarrass the Indian offices in pro-
Viding for the Indian service.
1.-The most important of the legislative
features incorporated in the bill is plan
by which it is proposed to solve the Vexed
problem of governmental relations with

IRELAND ANSWERS.
Powerful Sermon ON the Same Sub
ject as IngersoL.

ST Paul, Mimi, Jan. 13.-Colonel In
gersoll delivered his lecture on THE
Bible at the Metropolitan Opera house
in this city last night and tonight at
the cathedral Archbishop Ireland de-
hvered a powerful sermon ON the same
subject. After an eloquent eulogy of
the book and an argument in support
of its inspiration. he said:
"Scoff, then. You who dare. at Jesus
and his Bible; scott at all that is his,
at Christendom and Christian civiliza-
ton; scott at family regenerated, at
woman; scott at sacramento marriage

lums and hospitals; scott at the father
hood of God and the brotherhood of
man; scott at the enfranohised slave,
at the most sacred principles of your
own American institution-scoff at
Jesus and his Bible.
"Unbelief would take from us our
Bible and our Jesus. What does it
give to us? Where Christ is not, there
is barbarism; there IS servitude in the
weak; despotism Of the strong; inhu-

Union.

New York, Jan. Ia. -Organized charities
in general, and the United Hebrew chart
ties in particular. were scored and de-
nounced at the weekly meeting Of the
Central Labor union, of New York, in
Clarendon hall, this afternoon. Delegate
Robinson. OF the Brotherhood of Tallors,

DDS of the Free Employment bureau,
maintained by THE United Hebrew chart
ties. He declared the bureau supplied
.scaibs' to establishments which union
men had left on strike. and urged that
action be Immediately taken in The mat
ter. Delegate White spoke IN similar
strain. He said the charities were the
direct and persistent enemies of Self-reT
Specting labor and that those who sup
ported them did so with meTcenary pur-
pose.
Delegate Danlph said the trouble had
been before experienced with the United
Hebrew Charities.
These so-cailed charitable fnssitu-
tions,'' said he, seem to want to paupef-
iZe US all, and compel us to ask for cnar-
ity. We must put our foot down on
them, but do nothing hastily. All cilari-

IN THE SENATE, TOO.
A New Currency Bill Liable to Bob
I'D There.

Washington, Jan 15.-Tle probaTbili-
ties are THAT the beginning of the
week will see the introduction of still
another currency bill in the Senate.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, Who at
the critical stage of the tariff legis-
laItton, took the matter in hand and
harmonized the different elements SO
as to bring definite results out of a
decidedly chaotic condition, is the au-
thor of the new bill, and ne comes to
the front this time as a compromiser
and harGnonizer. There have been OBJ
jections made to the bills prepared by
Senators Vest and Mcpherson on the
ground, in the case of the Vest bill
that it leans too much towards silver
and in the case of the Mcpherson bill
that it is too exclusively in the inter
est of bonds. Senator Jones realizes
THAT silver and bonds are the two an
ltagoniZing elements in this question
and his effort has been to prepare a
measure which will perhaps not be all
that the friends Of either cause would
naturally demand, but will in the end
secure the support of both elements.
He has been in consultation with
many of the leaders of both these con-
tending elements in the Senate, and it
is understood that his bill ais outlined
has received very Favorable endorse
ment from the representatives of ali
the conflicting interests. It is also I'M
derstood that the terms of the bill are
not unfamiliar to leaders in the House
furthermore, it is probable that it has
been brought to the attention of the
proper authorities in the executive
branch Of the government. The bill
viii first provide for the Issuance OF
21s per cent bonds to the amount OF
$500, DOC, 900, which are to be paid in
gold and are to be used both for the
purpose of meeting the current expen-
ses of the government and the Tedemp-
ton of United States and treasury

INTERNATIONAL CONTEST.
Meeting May Probably Be Held in
September.

London, Jan. 13.-The permanent sec
rotary of the London Athletic club
was shown a dispatch from the Asso--
ciated Press detailing the reply of
Chairman Williams, of the athletic
committee of the New York Athletic
club to the interview with Holman.
honorary secretary of the London
Athletic club. Mr.. Parker said:
81 could not speak ait present Of
ficially for the committee, but L am
sure that for the two dates given.
Sept. II and Sept. 2S, the committee
would prefer to accept Sept. q, as the
University members of the team are
obliged to go back to their studies at
the opening of the term in October.
Twelve letters, which 1 have re-
Iceived today, confirmed our previous
belief that a meeting in May would be
impossible. But something has to give
way in order to arrange for the inter-
national meeting, and the London Atll-
lee club autumn meeting on Sept q,
therefore, will probably be abandoned.
The London Athletic club will send a
team from within the limits of it's
own membership and will make the
best fight possible. The greatest in
terest is taken in the match among all
members of the club and the general
opinion is that too long a. period has
elapsed without an international con-
test

FLOW OF TAILINGs.
L Decision Of Great Importance TO
the Mining Industry.


= Telluride, Colo, Jan. 13-Judge Cab
bert yesterday afternoon rendered de-
cision of the greatest Importance to the
mining industry of Colorado-that oper-
at0rs of stamp mills must use reason
able means to prevent the flow of tail
lngs into streams where others would
be materially injured thereby. After
three score years it is learned that
the streams must not be used for such
purposes. The effect of this decision is
plainly TO be seen. AS to what are rea-
sonable means the court is Silent. Both
litigants excepted to the decision and
the case 'WiH be appealed.
The above decision was rendered in
the case of the San Miguel Consolidated
vs.. the Suffolk Gold Mining Co. The
former sought an injunction against the
latter, prohibiting them from dumping
the taiiings of the Suffolk mill into
TIoWard'S Fork, a, stream which in
flicted serious damage upon its cleo
trfcal power plant situated below and
dependent upon the water of the same
stream. The defendant company
plead that they had no means of dis
posing of the tailings other than dump
ing them into the stream. The mining
ana milling interests OF the state are
largely affected, and the best legal and
expert talent has been employed on
both sides
