"A House Robbed of Clothing and
Food Near Wappingers' Walls.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, April 15.-The
capture of Michael O'Donnell and Patrick
McGuire yesterday morning has caused
no little Consideration in this vicinity.
Thursday night entrance was forced into
the residence of Emil Schoenfeld, at
Hughsonville, near Wappingers' Falls,
and some clothing and food were stolen.
One of the perpetrators left behind pair
OF. socks, which were identified as Perry's,
and two pine strips which he had used
as wooden shoes. The socks were. all
worn out on the bottoms and discarded
for good pair which he had stolen.
This is not the only clue to Perry's where
abouts, as it is almost certain that he was
in this city Saturday night.
About 730 O'Clock Saturday night
stranger, unannounced walked into the
Kitchen of Orlando Buyer, on North
Hamilton street, near the Philadelphia,
Reading 81 New England railroad tracks,
where Mr.. Buyer and his three children
were sitting reading The stranger
asked for something to eat, and it was
given to him. He held large dark
colored som mbrero behind his back, and
Mr. Buyer thinks, he also had a club in
his hand. The description given by Mr.
Buyer tallies exactly with that of Perry.
The stranger asked the way to the bridge
road, and, when told, walked out. The
police made a search, but no clue could
be found
All of the prisoners have been retaken
with the exception of Perry.
Poughkeepsie, n. Y, April 11.-Perry,
the noted train robber, whose exploits
few years ago, while trying to rob the
car of the American Express company on
the New York Central railroad caused
great excitement at the time, with four
other inmates of the Matteawan state
asylum, escaped from the institution at
late hour last night They assaulted
keeper and escaped through the scuttle.
The names of the men are Mcclure,
Donnell, Quigley and Davis. All were

SHOOTING LONG PLANNED.

Ing adyices were received by the steam

young man who shot Lii Hung Chang is
the son of member of the prefectural
assembly of Gumma prefecture, in the
north of Japan. Having watched the
course of events for some years back Ro-
kunosuke had come to the conclusion
that as the control of China's interfer-
ence in Corean affairs was vested in
Viceroy Ii, on him also rested the re-
sponsibility for all of Corea's foreign
complications. There could be no per-
manent peace in the Orient so long as
the viceroy lived, hence he determined to
kill the old statesman, and had even
projected voyage to China for that pur
pose but his means proved insufficient.

travelling the 600 miles to Simonoseki
He procured in Yokohama the old six

THEY Will BOOM CRISP
Georgia Democrats Choice
for the Presidency.

Legal Lights That the ex-Speaker
Is Not Barred on Account of Hav.
ing Been Born in England-It Is
Said He Does Not Share in the View
Washington, April ia sp ecial from
Atlanta, Ga, received in this city, says:
Speaker Crisp is being freely talked of
among Georgia democratic politicians as
an available candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination. That the subject has
been carefully discussed among Mr..
Crisp's associates if not in his very pres
ence, is beyond question. Perhaps the
most striking testimony is the fact that
Mr.. Crisp has had the question of his
eligibility carefully examined by such
legal lights as would secure him from
trouble on that score. Mr. Crisp it
happens, was born in England, of Amer
lean parentage, his father and mother
having been members of theatrical
company.
''When he was elected to the speaker
ship there were those who predicted for
him promotion to the white house. The
fact of his foreign birth then came UP,
and it was recollected that in 1872, whe /
IL
Meade against General Grant that the
debate was dropped upon the suggestion
that Meade had been born in Spain. But
times change as we'll as men, and Mr.
Crisp is now in possession of satisfactory
legal opinions that he is entirely eligible
and that the only question ahead is that
of availability. There is hardly doubt
but that the Georgia delegation to the
next national democratic convention will
present the name of Charles +. Crisp for
the presidency"
The statements in this Atlanta dispatch
differ materially from the views ex
pressed by Speaker Crisps friends here
They assert that Judge Crisp is clearly
convinced that he is barred from eligi-
bility to the presidency by reason of his
foreign birth, and the option thus con
ferred upon him of selecting another
natiC nality, had he so chosen. Article
H., Section l. of the constitution of the
United States provides that "No person
except natural born citizen, or a citi
zen of the United States at the time of
the adoption of this constitution, shall
be eligible to the Office of president"
No recognized constitutional lawyer
has ever placed himself on record as
holding otherwise than that the presi-
dent OF the United States must be au
American citizen born on American soil.
Speaker Crisp himself, in the most
significant manner has given his adher
ence to this construction of the constitu-
tion, and in such a manner as to indicate
that he felt its full significance.
At the close of the Fifty third congress,
in responding to the vote of thanks ten
dered him by his associates of the house
of representatives, he said, with dis
tinct emphasis, the import of which was
thoroughly understood: "Never in my
life, no matter what may be it's future,
can l expect to attain to so high an office
as that which l owe to your kindness, to
your consideration, to your partiality." )"
Everyone who heard that declaration in
terpreted it to mean that Speaker Crisp
regarded himself as constitutionally de-
barred as a presidential candidate.
