the house on minority report in case it can
be called up Judge Kicks friends consented

termined to call up the case in the House,
make a minority report in favor Of impeach.
ment, upon which he is preparing speech,
reviewing the whole case. Chairman Bailey
is basing his impeachment largely upon the
testimony of Martin w. Sanders, formerly
clerk in Judge Kicks court, who testiies that
feel which he supposed were his were turned
over to Judge Kicks on the latter's claim that
the witness was only temporary clerk, while
he (Ricks) was the real clerk. He told of be-
ing accused by the judge Of having circulated
stories that Kicks had accepted fees and not
accounted for them. Witness denied that he
had circulated such story but said to the
Judge: at is nevertheless true that you did
get fees, but they have not been accounted
| for" During the same conversation, said the
witness, Judge Kicks told him: You had
| better be my f.iend than my enemy" Judge
| Kicks also, according to Mr.. Sanders, asked
the witness if he had not lost money in the
patent business in New York, and the witness
answered, Eyes, but you can't give me any"
| Mr.. Sanders said he took the judges
| question to be prefactory to offering him
money.
On the other hand the majority of the Ju-
dietary Committee say the case will never be
called up in the House.

Among the prominent delegates is
Charles Heber Clark, who, together

pion, represents the Manufacturers
club Of Philadelphia. This club is made
up of firms in over Is states, who make
everything made by the hand of man.
The club represents over 5000, 900 900 of
capital, and includes such concerns as
the Cramp ship yards, the largest in the
world; the Disston saw works and the
entire carpet manufacturing interests of
Philadelphia. Robert Dorand is presi-
dent of the club, and Clark is secretary,
besides editing The Textile Record, the
official organ Of the club. Hamilton

the presidency of this organization and
he has been telegraphed to come here at
once.
While Governor Mckinley was re-
ceived by large delegation and marched
at the head Of the parade before well
coming the delegates to Ohio, be had
his greatest reception at the Grand
hotel.
Among those making speeches at the
convention was Charles Heber Clark of
Philadelphia, who was so enthusiastic
on opening up direct lines with the
South American republics that the dele
gates had him occupy the platform most
of the session. A general discussion
followed. While the discussions were
on general questions for the extension
Of the markets for American manufact-
ured articles, the tariff and reciprocity
brought out differences of opinion The
manufacturers seem to be united on an
| international system of postal exchange
so that they need not get drafts on Lon
don for all their payments from South
| America. They seem unanimous on the
| United States controlling the Nicaragua
canal, and many favor subsidies for
American steamship lines, especially for
direct lines between North and South
America instead of having all ship
ments via Liverpool to the South Amer
ican republics The sessions will con-
| tinue tomorrow.

JAPAN DON'T EXPECT MUCH.


Ehey Anticipate No settlement by tlp
Chinese Commission.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23.-The follow.
ing advices have been received here by
the steamer Peru, from Toxic: The
only change in the diplomatic situation
since last advices is the announcement
that Chan Yang Hwan, China's ac.
credited general, is actually on his way
to Japan, accompanied by a subordinate
representative named Shao Yu Lien.
The senior messenger is believed to be
well chosen, on account Of his expert
ence with western nations, which has
undoubtedly relieved him of some Of
the overwhelming conceit of which the
majority of home. keeping Chinese are
stepped. He has been minister to the
United States, Spain and Peru, and
may be supposed to fairly understand
the responsibilities of his new position.
No amount of official reserve on the
part of the japanese authorities can con.
ceal that they expect very little from
the first meeting. The fact that Mr..
Foster will accompany the Chinese en-.
voys in the capacity of legal adviser
does not change the opinion of the Jap.
anese with respect to the sincerity OF
China's intention.

Cousin of j. Il. Brothers Found Dead
With a Hole i'm His Head Near Ft.
Smith, Arkansas-A Photograph of
Canton Young Lady, Found In His
Trunk, Leads TO Establishing His
Identity-Last Seen Alive Nov. 20.
On the 10Th of last November james Cox
formerly an employe of the Canton Hardware
Company and Thurman Brothers, residing
near Magnolia went 10 Arkansas to hunt, ar
riving in TT. Smith on the 18th. They went
back in the country some distance from TT.
Smith and on the 18th Brothers was taken
sick and concluded to come home Cox accom-
panying him TO IT. Smith and then returning
towards Garrison Creek That was the last
seen Of him alive. Some days after
the body Of young man was found on
the bank of Garrison Creek with
bullet hole in the forehead coming out at the
back of the neck. He was unknown to any
one in that country. In camp near by was a
trunk which was taken up to the Office of the
U. s. marshal in TT. Smith, and was broken
open. In the trunk was large quantity of
ammunition, a letter and three photographs.
One Of the photographs was of young lady,
and on the wrapper was written Miss Minnie
Dar, 40 Franklin street, Canton. Miss Darr is
q cousin Of Cox's ano today received a
letter from the marshal at Ft. Smith
asking for any information she could give him
concerning the young man.
Near the body was found piece of the limb
Of tree which had the appearance Of being
recently cut, as il to make it appear that he
had used this twig to discharge the gun and
had committed suicide. The deputy marshal
who brought the body into Ft. Smith and ex-
amined the camp says it would be impossible
for a man to commit suicide by shooting him
self in the head the way this wound is.
Mr.. Brothers Of the Canton Hardware COM
pany, who is also cousin of Cox says while he
believes the body is that of Cox the only thing
that makes doubt is the memorandum book
which shows numerous transactions in
buying and selling cattle. Cox did not do any
trading but was there simply on hunting ex-

CINCINNATI, Jan. 23.--In response to an
advertisement stating that 100 motormen and
100 conductors were wanted by the Brooklyn
Heights railroad at 81 day, fully 300 men
presented themselves at Webers hotel this
morning. No positive protection against
strikers, nor free transportation back to the

BROODED OVER TROUBLE.
James Hayes Becomes Insane and Tries
to do Murder.


James Hayes, whose wife did last week, is
creating considerable excitement at Alliance.
He has been stopping at the Hotel Keplinger
in that city and as a consequence of his be-
reavement last week his mind has become
clouded and IT is dangerous to permit him to
longer be at liberty Since the funeral of his
wife, which occurred at Massillon the latter
part of last week, Hayes has been brooding
over his troubles and has become possessed
with the delusion that he is in some manner
accountable for his wife's death, and insists
also that DIR. T. N. johnson, whoattended her,
did not treat her case properly.
On Monday Hayes procured a revolver,
doubtless for the purpose of killing DR.. John
son and ending his own existence, for about
$3.50 o'clock last night, slipping away from the
hotel, he went to Dr. Johnson's door above the
Boston Clothing store. He knocked and as
the doctor opened the door he noticed Hayes
standing there with his revolver in hand ready
to advance, but the door was closed in an in
slant and an encounter was thus averted.
Hayes then went down street and was seen
to be flourishing the revolver in the air when
the attention of the police was called to his
actions and soon Officers Barber and Oglne
were at his side, finding him on Main street
near the Central hotel They had some diff.
Guilty in securing him, however, for he was de-
termined that the officers should not touch
him, and iourished the revolver about his
head, threatening to shoot himself as well as
them If they came near him. They succeeded
in calming him down until at last the revolver
was taken away from him and he was placed
in Jail for safe keeping. His brother, who
lives in Cleveland, arrived at Alliance today to
take charge Of him.

ond section saw the signal and slowed
up, but could not stop until near the
caboose of the first section.
The fiagman of the second section did
not have time enough to signal the
third section and it crashed into the
second and drove that into the first sec
tion. Fireman w. NJ. Baxter of this
city, who was ON the engine of the
second section, had his arm so badly
crushed that it was amputated The
middleman, named McPhilamee, who
was in the caboose, was buried beneath
the wreckage and was burned to death
in the fire which followed the collision.
No trace of his body could be found.

badly hurt and bruised, and another
man, whose name could not be learned,
! was injured. Flagman Traynor was
