Information given to the hotel people by Just,
who made the charge because Kohler had run

ware was found at TIE time Of the arrests, and
later the detectives got hold of trunks which
contained spoons worth $50 moro.
Just, who had been employed at tho Waldorf
as an emergency waiter for the Horse Show
week, went to the hotel yesterday morning and
asked to see Manager Boldt. whom he informed
that kohier had taken silverware from the
NNalcort and had given some of 1t to Emma
Just, his wife. who was living with Kohler at

Senator Thurston Comes with Some Views
on Public 0ueatlons.

WASHING roN, Dec. Ex-senator Thurston Of
Nebraska, who came direct from Canton,
where he had nu interview with the President
elect, is strongly OF the opinion that an extra
session of CongreJ Is Will be called about the
middle OF March. lie said:
Tho Dinrley bill in its present condition 10
not tho bin now demanded, and any effort TO
amend tlalonglaepublican iinesldurlnV the short
session would be impossible. II could only be
done by general consent, and that, of course, no
one anticipates. I believe tho Populists have
about reached tho conclusion that they will
permit the Republicans. so far as they are con-
cerned. tn assume the responsibility for legis-
lation and pass such n tariT bill during tho
next Congress as seems to thcm best"
When asked what the outlook was for finan-
cial legislation. the Senator replied that he
saw none.
II see no good reason why there should he
any effort TO enact financial legislation at the
present time. Let us try the good old rene
dies before we take the new latent nostru lbs
u at are thrust at us by those who imagine they
have Il cure for all national ills. There Will
he no financial legislation until tho Republi-
cans have frameL. pissed, and tested n new
tariff law. II is essential first hat we have
employment. ard that they he given Il chance
TO earn. the honest dollars we now have, with
out tinkerinR with the money question.
The present money we nave is good. and 1
believe men who are out OF work would rather
see the mills and shops reopening and the
whistles calling tlcm to labor than see Con-
gress under take a pro .racted discussion OF the
financial problem; either, now or during the
next Congress. With good times, such ms will
result from tie inauguration of tho Republl-
can policy OF protection. you Will see n rapid
diminution OF tie cry Tor agitation lpon q
subject the people settled at the last election"
What is to be done during the short session
on the Cuban question:" was asked Senator
Thurston.
~ am led to believe from what / hear that
President Cleveland will not change his policy
in that matter. but will turn the situation
over TO his successor without intervening en-
ta"Glements. expect. however, to sec Con-
Cress take such action AS will result. prac-
tically, in granting the Cuban patriots bel
%,igefenG rights. This will enable them TO equip
themselves and fight it out on an equal footing.
THIS 1orernincnt has u position OF rest onsi-
bility with resi- cct to the New World. and our
responsibility in connection with suffering
Cuba is not TO be shirked. If the Cubans. hav-
ing bellig, rent rights. do not win. then i. will

lieve that She was suffering from some poison.
Early in the evening Mrs. Dlckerson had q

lOnged TO his wife.
She retired Mt 10 O'Clock, and her loud
breathing aroused IA tenant IN n neighboring
room several dimes during the night. SO that
finally he called the landlady. and they hurst
open the door, to find her lying upon tho floor.
clad only In u wrapper. They summoned two
policemen. who sent for an ambulance, which
took her to the hospital.
The woman was a laundrrss in Grlfen's res
