a PLEASING MAJORITY.
Ministers Delighted With the Reichs-
tag Vote.


BERLIN, January 15.-The majority
which referred the anti-Socialist bill to
the committee yesterday was large
enough to delight the Ministers. Itcon
sisted mainly of National Liberals and
Conservatives, against whom were ar
rayed the Social Democrats, South Ger
man Democrats, Radicals and a few
Guelphs and independents. The En-
peror was much pleased with the result
of the first reading, although it gives no
guarantee of the future OF the bill. lie
congratulated Chancellor Prince Hohen-
lobe, and commended highly General
Bosart Won Scheelendortf's aggressive
speech. His Majesty is said to have
heard with his own ears how his War
Minister dehed and reproached the So
cialists. He is supposed to have sat IN
the recess of the imperial box, where
unseen by the members he could hear
all that was said in the debate. The
Social Democrats have revived from the
inactivity OF previous weeks, and have
modified all their forces against the bill.
Friday evening they held meetings to
protest in every district OF Berlin. lg-
naSe Auer, August beJel, raul singer,
William Leibknecht and several other
Deputies made speeches. Most of them
seemed to expect defeat. They warned
their adherents to prepare for the era OF
repression to be inaugurated upon the
passage of the bill. They advised all to
destroy ali letters, lists, accounts of pro-
ceedings and plans of agitation which
has been collected in Socialist societies
since the expiration of the Bismarckian
laws and thus make ready to face with
out fear the house researches and es-
pionage of the police. In Hamburg
similar meetings have been held. Both
there and in Berlin the meetings were
remarkable for the number of women
present. Conversations in the lobbies
of the Reichstag after yesterdays sitting
revealed general conviction that the
government would carry the main para
graphs of the bill. The Clericals will
modify few provisions in committee,
but will not change the measure mate
rally. The Social Democratic leaders
were especially loud in their declarations
that an amended bill would surely pass
The Clericals have obtained priority
for the debate on their bill for the re-
turn of the Jesuits. The bill will pass
its first reading tomorrow.

and two deputies were in search of
horse thieves east of Fort Sumner yes
terday, when Sheriff Perry met and
recognized Cook at the first glance.
Quicker than a flash Perry and his men
had their WinChesters up, and Cook was
SO thoroughly surprised that he lost his
nerve, and although he had two six
shooters about his waist. his hand went
up at the command of the Sheriff.
Handouts were put 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 Sheriff Perry and his
other deputy rode behind them. Thus
the trip to Roswell was made, distance
OF sixty-five miles. Marshal Hall ex-
poets 10 hear from the United States
District Attorney OF Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas and Texas, to whom he wired, an
nOuncing Cooks capture. 1t is said
that with the State, express and railroad
companies officials there are rewards
amounting to SIS 600 for Cook s 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 TO Mexico and meant
to quit the highway. lie said

THEY'RE AFTER GUNST.

San Franciscans Again say Everything
had of Him.
SAN FRANC1sco, January ID Two
monster mass meetings were held IN tins
city this afternoon to protest against the
appointment of NJ. <, Gunst as Police
Commissioner: to denounce local poIit-
zeal corruption and to protest against
District Attorney Knight for not causing
the arrest OF {. I. Huntington. The
first two subjects came in Tor The greater
attention from the various speakers.
DR.. Ebert Ollie addressed the big audi
ence that crowded Odd Fellows Hall to
the doors, filling gallery and floor until
there was not seat left. Held at the
instance of the law and order league, it
was a significant and enthusiastic dem
onstration, marked by fiery speeches
and followed to the close by the hearty
accord OF a gathering wholly in earnest.
Dir. Ollie compared the government OF a
Republic TO pyramid, saying:
Only two things can reach the top
the eagle and the lzard-and in city al
fairs it is the reptile that gets there,
leaving his shiny trail behind. All the
gamblers and all the vicious are saying:
We've found our Moses. We've got San
Francisco and fence around it, and our
Moses to lead us into it,
DR.. &. Q. Browns message to eX-GOv-
ernor Markham was read. 1t was:
"With boss rule, thug rule, corruption
rule and the indifference OF good citizens
this has become government OF the
worst, by the worst and for the worst.
You have done this to please the liquor
men and the gamblers. They have put
their brand on you, and you are their
man. The mark you have put on your
self is indelible. There is an immortal
itv of infamv. From this hour Govern
or Markham stands convicted as man
who seeks the approval of the dregs OF
society. He has thrown mantle OF
shame over the closing hours of u
wrecked administration"
One leading sentiment ran through all
the speeches: I'VE want new char
ter" When DIR. Brown was called to
the platform he said:
Good will come of the Gunst APP
pointment. Out of it will come new
charter, and we will see to it that the
whole miserable Police Commission is
wiped out of existence. We do not want
a Police Commission in fraternity with
the gamblers, saloons and brothes. No
man has any business on the Police Com
mission who has any connection with
gambling and poolselling. This APP
pointment says to the gamblers: Boys,
YOU can go on about your business. and
j as a Police Commissioner will wink my
eye on that side. "

DUBOIS, Pa, January 15,-rhe pros
poets for speedy settlement of the min
ers' strike are apparently very good. The
men are willing to work on short time if
their comrades, who were recently dis
charged, are taken back. They say they
will make this concession in order to
keep the families OF the idle miners from
starving. Mr.. Elliot, the general man
ager for Lewis, Bell & Yates, the owners
of the mines in which the strike is on,
has gone to Buffalo to lay the PROPOSE
ton from the men before the firm. He
is expected back tomorrow, and upon
the reply he will bring depends the I'M
mediate outcome of the strike. The
strikers say they are willing to make
any reasonable compromise that will
give all of them at least enough to pro-
vide bread for their families.

THAT ATHLETIC MATCH.
The English Are Determined, and VIII
Bring 1t on if Possible.

LONDON, January l3.-The permanent
Secretary of the London Athletic Club
was shown dispatch 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 Atb-
letic Club. Mr.. Parker said
81 cannot at present speak officially,
but am sure that of the dates given,
September IL and September q, the
committee would prefer September II,
for 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 have received to-
day have confirmed our previous belief
that the meeting in May would be i'm
possible. But something has to give
way in order to arrange for the interna-
tional meeting, and the London Clubs
autumn meeting, September 2S, there
fore, will probably be abandoned. The
London Athletic Club will send a team
from within the limits of its own mem
bership, and will make the best fight
possible. The greatest interest is taken
in the match among members OF the
club, and the opinion is that too long a
period has elapsed without an interna-
tional contest"

CHICAGO, January 14.-The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals this
morning took up the appeal of the
Whisky Trust from the decision of Judge
Grosscup, awarding $37 900 of rebates to
the Gottschalk Company of Baltimore.
The issue that is made strikes at the
foundation of the trust. In order to
keep its hold on trade the trust granted
to all dealers who handle its goods ex-
clusively rebate of from to cents a
gallon. To secure the payment of the
rebate it was necessary for the distribu-
tor, wholesale or retail, to fill out a form
furnished by the trust, to which an af-
tidavit was made. Gottschalk & Co.
was distributor for the trust, and de-
clined to fill out the form. The suit for
the collection of its claim was then begun,
and in April last Judge Grosscup rem
dered Judgment against the trust for $751;
1l2. The trust was not represented be-
fore the court to-day. It's attorney, w.
W. Stevens, requested by letter a post
ponement, and, if it would not be
granted, said he would submit his brief
without argument. The Gottschalk
Company is represented byex-G Governor

WOODLAND, Cal, January 12.-James
Appleman, on trial for completely in the
wrecking of a Southern Pacific train
near Sacramento July II last during the

after a long and bitter trial. One of
the train wreckers, Samuel Worden, is
under sentence of death for the same

one ballot was taken. The verdict is
somewhat of asurprise, as it was thought
the jury would disagree. The charge to
the jury was finished at S:20 o'clock and
they retired. A large crowd waited in
the courtroom, among them the father
and mother of the defendant. Mrs. APP
pleman gave way when the verdict was
given. Appleman was pale and anxious,
and watched the jurors closely. When
the verdict was announced the Judge
discharged Appleman from custody, and
there was ierverent embrace between
Mrs. Appleman and her son. Outside
of the courtroom friends of the defend
ant cheered Justify.

MURDER MYSTERY SOLVED
Philadelphia Police UnraVel a
Crime Committed Sixteen
Years Ago.
Evidence Pointed to the Husband of
the Dead Woman, But He
Was InnocentI

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April ga
murder mystery dating back several years,
where evidence pointed strongly to James
| f. Logue, known to the police of the
| United States as Jimmy" Logue, has been
cleared up by confession of the murderer.
On the night of February %, 1879, Jo-
hanna Logue, the wife of Jimmy, vanished
as suddenly as if the earth had opened and
swallowed her. The newspapers at the
time were full of it, rewards were offered
and no one was more indefatigable in his
efforts to locate the woman than Logue
himself. On October 16, 1893, fourteen
wears afterward, a carpenter repairing the
house at 1850 North Eleventh street tore
up some boards in the kitchen and there
found the skeleton of woman. When it
became known that Logue and his wife
had lived in the house suspicion at once
pointed to him as the murderer, but all
search for him proved unavailing.
On the evening of March last the door
bell of Coroner Ashbridge's private resi-
dence rang, and, answering it in person,
he was confronted by an old white-haired
man, who said abruptly: 81 am Jimmy
Logue and 1 have come to give myself
up"
That was all he said and the Coroner
handed him over to the police under an
assumed name From that time on the
Coroner and Detective Geyer worked to-
gether in secret until they had unraveled
the complete story, which eliminated a
few days ago in the arrest of man whose
identity was not revealed until to-day. He
is Alphonse Cutaier Jr., the illegitimate
son of one of Logue's former alleged wives.
He is locked up in the City Hall on a
charge of murder, while in neighboring
cell is Logue, held as the star witness.
Cutaier has made confession, in which
he acknowledges causing the. woman's
death, though he asserts it was done in

is counted almost as pioneer.
What about the schools may be asked,

Sanford, who has been principal OF the
grammar schools for eight years is doing
good work in which he is well assisted by

The school has several unique points not
always found in public schools; that is a
good literary society in connection with
the school work, and a well equipped gym

certain hours for athletic exercise. Mr..
Sanford is particularly earnest man, the
friend of his pupils.
Pleasanton has an enterprising weekly
paper, the Times, which is edited by i've

When the gas wells are developed and a
