The main feature now is the contest
over seats in the assembly. There are
seventeen cases. The bitterness of the

Yesterday there was bitter attack on
the democrats because certain commits

ROOSEVELT OBJECTS.
Says the New Police Bill Would Pre-
serve All that is Bad In the
Present System.

New York, May 10.-If Mayor Strong
and the Legislature at Albany heed the
formal expressions of opinion of the po-
lice board on the Ainsworth supplement
tary police bill, that measure will not
become a law. The bill was passed by
the Legislature on Wednesday and came
before the mayor for his approval today.
The police commissioners were invited
to state their views of the bill to the
mayor. At meeting of the board today,
President Roosevelt said: This bill
takes away from the commission all pow
er Of trying cases or charges against
members of the force, and intrusts it to
the superintendent and to q local board
convened by him. The board of police
hereby resolve that they will appear in
a body before the mayor to protest against
this legislation as thoroughly vicious and
thoroughly unwise. 1t practically would
redtce the board to nullity. In short
the bill is in the interest of all that is
bad in the old system, adding much that
is worse. The board of itself will give
the superintendent proper disciplinary
powers but it must be done in the proper
way"
The other members of the board coin
cided with the views of Mr.. Roosevelt.

PHILADELPHIA TRAGEDY.
August Topper, Married, Kills Miss
Herhold Because She Re-
fuses to ElOpe.

Philadelphia, Pa, May 10.-A terrible
tragedy was enacted on the sidewalk in
front of 16 North Seventh street today
in the presence of throng of pedestri-
ans by August Topper, manufacturer of
novelties, aged SO. He shot Clara Her
hold, alias Schmidt, aged 26, twice in
the right side and then sent bullet into
his right temple, dying almost instantly.
The girl was removed to the hospltal l.,
where she died half an hour later with
out having regained consciousness.
Topper is a married man and lives at
B13 Noble street with his wife and fam
lily. He was desperately in love with
Miss Herhold, but his advances were
coldly received. The girl came from Ger
many about year ago and went to live
with the Topper family as a servant.
Tepper's attentions became so annoying
to her that she left her place about a
month ago Tepper'S annoyance of the
girl did not cease, and the latter part Of
last week she went before a magistrate
and Swore out a warrant for his arrest.
She had no money to pay for the war
rant, however, and Topper continued to
annoy her Miss Herhold, who was a
tailoress, left her room this morning to
go for work which she was to take to her
home. On her way back she met Topper
at Seventh and Noble streets. The cOu-
pie talked earnestly for a few minutes
and the girl started to move away from
the apparently enraged man when the
tragedy took place. 1t is believed Iep-
per threatened to kill the girl if she did
not clone with him

James Carruthers is the importer and
the amount brought is ten cars. 1t is

Mr.. Carruthers says the wheat will be
consumed by Ontario millers. Now that
it has been pretty well demonstrated that
the United States wheat can pay the
duty of Is cents a bushel and sell in
the same market with the Ontario pro-
duct, dealers are inclined to believe the
prices for the latter have reached the
top unless the United States market
shows material advances. AS high as

GIGANTIC PAYROLL STEAL.
Millions Taken from the Chicago
Treasury by FalsifiCatiOn Of
Department Records.

Chicago, H., May 10.-Frauds Of the
grossest nature in the pay rolls Of the
department of public works have been
uncovered by Commissioner Kent. Pros
ecutions of a startling nature are threat
ened. involving, as they will, not alone
the duped laborer, ignorant of his rights
or the law, but late public officials who
connived at this form of plundering the
public treasury. Commissioner Kent has
been so astounded by the discoveries al
ready made that the pay rolls covering
the period between March ID and April
1 have been summarily taken charge of
by him. salary payments on them stopped
and the claim of every man whose name
is on the roll subjected to an inyestiga-
ton of the most thorough nature.
Duplicat ton of names on the pay rolls,
insertion of the names of dead men, resi-
dences located where there were vacant
lots or empty houses-all these facts are
now in the possession of Commissioner
Kent and in course of preparation for
submission to the legal department Of the
city for prosecution. 1t was moderately
estimated at the city hall yesterday that
$1,000,000 had been stolen from the city
in this manner by officials of different

the subject were looked on as authority

MAKE THE STATES REFUND
Uncle Sam May Call for $2S,OOO,-
900 Which He Loaned Way
Back in 1897.

Washington, D. c., May ia very
interesting question has been raised as
to whether, in view of the depleted con-
dition of the treasury, the twenty-siX
states of the Union, which in 1887 re-
ceived from the general government de-
positS amounting to over SIS, 600, 900,
could be made to refund. The first few
months in 1886, Congress having refused
to extend the charter of the bank of the
United States, found the government in
possession of between S40,000,0O0 and
S50O0O,0 for which it had no present
need nor suitable place for safe keeping.
On June % of that year an act was
passed authorizing the secretary of the
treasury to deposit under certain specified
conditions, all Of the money save $4,000,
600 with the safes on their assuming the
obligation of payment on demand.
The sums of money which each of the
twenty-siX states received, as stated in
several annual reports of the secretary
of the treasury, was as follows Gents

In his annual report for 1885 the Unit
ed States treasurer says that the fiction"
that these deposits, amounting to SOS, 101,-
633, may some day become available has
ceased to be held 1t is singular fact
shat the records of the treasury depart
ment do not show that any demand has
ever been made on the states for the re-
payment of this money. It seems to be
the general opinionthat an act of Congress
would be necessary before steps could be
taken to compel a repayment, but wheth-
er such an act will be passed by Congress
is extremely doubtful in view Of the fact
that the representatives of twenty six
states in both houses would be interested

The only sign of life in the building APP

Michel hung from a window shrieking for
aid for himself, wife and two children. The
flames were mounting upward, and were
within few feet of him when he placed
his wife, clad only in her nightdress, on
the fire escape and told her to save her
life, if possible, and he would stay and
save the children. The woman, who was
shrieking, commenced the perilous de-
scent, and was halfway down when the
fremen arrived. They saw that she was
rapidly becoming crazed and unconscious

pouring from the saloon, and shouted to
her to hold ON until they got ladder up

In the city and, so the passengers say,
after fighting became disastrous for the
besieged, the regiment of CadiZ, number
ing about 25OO arrived, attacking the
Cubans in the rear. Gomez quickly re-
covered from the first onslaught and,
while a small force brought up the con-
f1ict with the forces of the city, his main
body faced the new enemy. Fighting was
very fierce, but it is asserted that the
strategy of Gomez aud the valor Of the in
surgents resulted in their victory. The
regiment of Cadiz, it is said. was routed
and cut to pieces by pursuing Cubans.
The city was taken and is now in pos
session of the insurgents. The Cuban
loss in killed and wounded is put at 700,
while it is asserted the Spanish loss III
killed and wounded was 1000.
Smallpox and yellow fever are said +
be very prevalent Campos is said to b
greatly displeased with the situation, anG

of another crisis in the cabinet which will
require Campos to return. Cubans assert
that dissatisfaction exists among the
troops over the execution of Gallego.
Legitimate, who was brought to Havana
for execution, was not executed, but was
decorated with medals for his valor.
