Senators Seem determined TO Act Upon
Finances.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 30.-The
Senate, in executive session this afternoon,
refused to pass q Joint resolution intro
duced by Cockrell, providing for an ad-
journment from tomorrow until January
6. After the confirmation OF large num-
Der of nominations against which no OBJ
jections had been made, the matter came
up on the suggestion of Hill of New York
and Berry of Arkansas, both of whom said
that they thought that Congress, in view
OF the message of the President, ought
not to take recess for any length of time.
Hill made a speech in which he went
over much of the ground of his speech the
other day. He called upon his associat IS
to stay here and endeavor to pass some
legislation that would give the treasury
relief. Hill was reminded that nothing
the President had asked could be got
through the Senate, and it was nonsense
to ask the Senate to stay and make an
effort to do that which everybody knew
was impossible. In view, however. of the
objections that had been raised Cockrell
withdrew his resolution and the Senate
adjourned until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 30.-Repre-

engaged in the single-tax crusade. He has

Mcguire further said:

SWUNG UP BY A CROWD,
Rough Treatment Received by
a Negro Thief in a St.
Louis Market.
While Suspended the Unlucky Man
Cut the Rope and Then Escaped
From His Captors.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec 30.-An almost
successful attempt to lynch negro thief
was made early this morning in Union
Market, in the heart of the downtown
business district. For some time petty
thefts have annoyed the stall-keepers at
the market and secret watch was insti-
tuted.
At 5:45 O'clock this morning Martin
McMahan and Pat McClenchy saw a
negro with two blankets slipping away
from the market. They raised the cry of
"Stop, thiefp'
The negro dropped the blankets and
ran, and they gave chase and captured
him. The cry of Lynch him!" went up
and somebody produced rope. There is
a block and tackle fastened to the ceiling.
used to swing the ice blocks up to their
receptacle. This caught the eye of the
mobs leader.
This is the thing" he yelled; 'yank
the black scoundrel here. There's the
very thing to use on him."
The rope was adjusted about the negro's
neck. Nervous, eager hands bound his
wrists with cotton cord. He quit strug-
Cling and began to pray. A score of hands
caught the other end of the rope. There
was a strong, steady pull and the negro s
feet left the floor. His tongue pro-
truded from between his teeth and
his eyes stared wildly. In another
minute he would have been a
dead man, but ne was a man of resources
With quick, nervous jerk of his arms he
broke the cords that bound them. His
hand went to his pocket like flash. 1t
brought knife. One movement sufficed
to expose the blade, another cut the rope.
The negro dropped to the grou nd and es-
capped before the crowd could prevent him.

morrow.
The brides father is wealthy and de-
clared he would disinherit the daughter ii

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 30.-John
Karel. United States Consul General at st.

Department which has some interest in
connection with the utterly unsupported
rumors about Russia having recently ten
dered gold to the United States.
After giving the values OF Russian gold
currency under recent adjustment of the
Imperial Bank, Mr.. Karei concludes his
communication with this paragraph:
II understand that the object of the
Minister OF Finance of the Russian empire
is to accumulate into the Imperial vaults
as much gold as possible, with view to
establishing in the future the Russian

the British Minister to the same republic
is alleged to have suffered.
The diplomatic representative OF Great

for what reason is not known. General

LONDON, ENG, Dec. 30.-The United
Press has ascertained here that syndi-
cate IS being formed in Berlin and London
to take up the proposed United States loan.
The principal negotiations will proceed in
Berlin for per cent bonds issued at about
par. The London firms taking part in the
syndicate include the prominent Ameri-
can bankers here. 1t is doubtful whether
a public issue will be made in London.
The completion Of the contract with the
syndicate depends upon the view which
President Cleveland may take about the
issue price. The amount proposed to be
taken is 5000. 600 900.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 30.--The re-
port of the Naval Board of Inspection on
the result of its trip on the battleship
Texas last week was received at the Navy
Department to-day, and it is said that it
indicates that the Texas has not proved to
be superior vessel.
Secretary Herbert declined to-day to say
anything about the contents of the report,
statement on the subject. 1t is known,
however, that the report recommends
many changes. In firing the turret guns
the hydraulic gear for moving the turrets
worked so badly that in one instance it
took two hours to discharge the gun. The
bottom of the ship was also clearly shaky.
1t was said at the department. that it was
not unlikely that the Texas would be
placed out of commission and extensive
repairs maze.

IS CRUEL AND |NRUMAN
Responsibility OF Mining Com
panies Defined
JUDGE CALDWELL DEFINES
Some Old Time Documents and Argu.
ments Set Aside.
A Corporation Has no Right to SEND man
Under Ground Without Providing for
Ills Safety

ST. LOUIS, March 2s.-Judge Caldwell
today filed dissenting opinion in the
case OF Mary Finlayson against the Utica
Mining and Milling Company, which will
attract attention in mining circles as
well for the bodness of the opinion
expressed, as fol the severity with which
he deals with the majority opinion OF
Judges Sanborn and Thayer. The point
involved is the responsibility OF employ
ers for the safety of employees. The
plaintiffs husband had been killed by
falling rock that the foreman Of the de-
fendant company told him was not
dangerous.
Judge Caldwell says: "The doctrine
that mining company can send it's en-
ployees into the bowels of the earth to
conduct it's mining operations without
making any provisions for the proper
supervision and inspection OF the mine
for the security and protection OF the
miners, is unsupported by authority, is
opposed to sound public policy and is
cruel and inhuman. The error of the ma
iority of the court in likening the work in
q mine to the sudden calling out OF men
to work after night on the Drink OF a
rapidly rising river whose bank is caving
in, to save property from destruction by
the flood is too obvious to require discus
sion. Upon the law applying to this case
the majority opinion is direct and
palpable conflict with the opinion of this
court"
Judge Caldwell then discussed the
that it is false sin logic as 1t is unsound
IN law"
The opinion, he says. is "a cogent
statement of a purely imaginative case. -

WOMAN SUFFRAGE
The Question Causes Warm Debate in the Utaf
COnY entl0n


SALT LAKE, Utah, March 2s.-This
has been one of the most exciting and
eventful days in the history of the Consti-
tutional Convention. The woman suffrage
question was again before the convention
in committee of the whole under the ten
minute rule.
Half a dozen members gave way to
Roberts (Democrat) of Davis county, who
delivered a speech against the measure.
He referred to the fact that the report
Jion, state that has dark blotch on its
history; that cruelty and savagery have
prevailed there in the wholesale murder
of helpless foreigners. Not content with
that, the committee had referred to Colo
RADIO and Kansas. He asked why the
constitutions of Virginia and New York
were not pointed out as models-states
hundred years. He warned the conven-
ton that after the constitution was ratified
by the people it would have to go to
Washington. and that the gentleman who
was given the high honor of presiding
over the convention might yet be called
upon to produce his credentials.
Again, there was fear Of the silver
question at the capitol. This feeling was
not confined to the executive alone, but
was almost universal throughout the
East. No more silver Senators were
wanted. He appealed to the womanhood
of Utah to withdraw the petition for
suffrage.
Several speeches were made in favor of
the majority report. Thurman said the
Mormon Church was not in politics. 1t
would leave the political parties alone if
they would leave 1T alone.
The question was still under discussion

from Mr.. Walter bearing on the concession
made to him by the IIova Government
will necessarily figure in the matter if it
Is taken up by the State Department.
These documents have been filed in the

that they will by all means refuse to sub
