price of flour from its present low quo
tations, to secure better lake and rail
rates and to force every spring wheat
miller in the country to come into the

in the United Stats. The underlying
motive of the original promoters is
understood to be a measure of protec-
ton for the gigantic Touring interests
of Minneapolis.
The pool is the successor of the South

and the organization was perfected by
r. D. Hubbard, the executive head of

with the combine, and others admit
they are in it to get profit for their

A STRANGER CAPTURED.
Thought to be the Man Also Wanted
at San Francisco.

PORTLAND (Or), May 7.-Detec-
tives WEIGH and Cody last night took
into custody John r. Cosgrove, whose
arrest may possibly establish the iden-
tity of the thug who recently strangled
several outcast women in San Fran
cisco.
On the night of April 2Sth Marie Le-
LIVE, a woman of the town, reported
at police headquarters that a stranger
had attempted to strangle her, but that
she had managed to escape. She left
a minute description of Cosgrove,
armed with which the officers have
since tracked their man, finally run
ming him down.
He proves to be a most vicious and
dangerous character. To a detective
last night Cosgrove confessed to being
the man who attempted to strange
Marie Lelivie, who also identified him
beyond doubt. He said his motive was
merely to see how she would appear
after death
Cosgrove's relatives reside in San
Francisco, and he is known to have
been in that city at the time the two
women were strangled to death on
Morton street.
The local police are positive that they
have captured the bay city stranger,
and have forwarded his photo to San
Francisco for identification.
Cosgrove's father, Charles Wilcox,
is serving a life sentence in Folsom for
numbering a man in San Jose.

this afternoon, and in default of bonds
was committed to the County Jail to

ADJUSTMENTS.

Edwin Milton Royle, dramatist and
actor, appeared at the Metropolitan
Theater last night in his own drama
Friends" He was supported by a
company of especial excellence A bet
tier balanced and more talented group
Of artists for such work as the drama
of the class. played last night lays out
for them has not been seen here in
many day-there is no weak timber
| in it, but a great deal of exceptionally
fine ability. Friends is a strong COM
edy drama, one in which the humor is
not strained, the wit not forced, and the
situations not unnatural. The action
OF the play is all within the range of
the probable, and the romance is that
OF real life. There is such large meas
ure of human sympathy in it: it is so
charged with manliness, is so clean and
high minded, and withal so genuinely
humorous, that whoever witnesses it's
performance must experience the re-
gret that there are not more such dram
attic pictures, ventures and prea ching.
Mr.. Royle is an artist of the scholarly
type, but he shoots over no heads and
loses himself in no merely fanciful
flights. His philosophy is on the level
Of everyday human experience, and
his wit is clean cut and flashing with
out being satirical or caustic. The sup
port afforded by Selena Fetter Royle
and Misses Merli and Lyons was of the
NEST satisfying character. 1t was faith
full, easy, graceful and natural action.
We have rarely, if at all, seen any bet
ter dramatic work below the line of
tragedy than that of Ben Johnson,
whose personation was that of an UNI
fortunate German, the slave of appe-
tite. struggling as only refined intel
ligence can against the bonds of it's
own creation. Mr.. Henderson, as one
OF the heroes-there are two-to evenly
divide the honors gave the audience an
example of finished work, both in in
depreciation of the part committed to
him and as musician. Mr.. Bittner's
John Padden was one of the happiest
of presentations of the rough, big-heart-
ed, whole-souled and sympathetic men
who have risen by their own energy
and toll to independence, that make
them neither too proud nor too boastful
of their own successes. Mr.. Royle's art
as an actor is level with his skill as a
dramatist. 1t was not the work Of a
great artist, but of an exceedingly
good one. 1t indicated good taste, clear

Woman i'm That City-He is Also
Thought to be the Same Person
Who Murdered Two Women by
StranguIation at San Francisco.

MADEIRA, May 7.-William Laverone
and Jack Roberts, who were captured
last week at cave near Bates, after a
stubborn fight had been made On their
part, escaped from the County Jail last
night Ever since the two outlaws
have been confined in the Jail the Off
GERS have used the utmost precaution
to prevent their escape, as they were re-
garded as the most reckless and daring
criminals the Jail has ever sheltered.
Howard Wells, the janitor CT the
County Jail, has been locking the pris-
Cners in one cell at nights, while he
slept in the corridor. Richard Magoon,
who is under arrest on a charge of
numbering Jack McGurk, occupied one
of the cells, but the door from his cell
into the corridor was left open. as he
is an old man and somewhat feeble.
During yesterday the prisoners had
dug almost entirely through the par
tition wall which separated them from
Magoon, and last night as soon as
Wells was asleep they finished cutting
the hole in the wall and craWled into
Magoon's cell, where they warned the
old man to keep quiet or they would
kill him.
Roberts then took one of the loose
bricks and went into where Wells was
sleeping and struck him over the head
with the brick.
The jailer, though stunned, grappled
with Roberts in the dark and attempted
ITO overpower him. After a desperate
struggle LaveTone came to the assist
ance of Roberts, and the combined eff
forts of the two succeeded in overpow-
ering the jailer, and after taking his
keys, shotgun and SO in money the
outlaws unlocked the doors and es-
capped.
Wells gave the alarm and then faint
ed from loss of blood. A posse was
soon organized by Sheriff Westfall, and
it has been out all day, and up to a late
hour tonight they had not succeeded in
capturing the escapes. Laverone and
Roberts have been traced across the
Fresno River onto the plains, where
the track was lost. The officers believe
that the prisoners are headed for the
foothills, as they know the ground well
in that locality.

trada Palma:
Il have been operating within this
section during the last two months,

attained, although the SpaniardS have
given me few opportunities TO meet
them. They boast, however, that they
are always after us, but that we avoid
fighting, but l assure you that such is
not the case. They hardly venture out.
and when they do they are very care
full to remain within a short distance
Of a fortified place.
but if they are unwilling % meet
our soldiers, they are very active in
committing all sorts of outra ges against
the country people they come s.crOSS
Scarcely anyone is left alive, for they
proceed on the theory that every Cuban
is a rebel, no matter what his attitude
may have been.
Among the atrocities lately COM
mitted by the Spaniards l will describe
the following. They are a fair sample
OF the work they are doing: the col
umn commanded by General L1que on
April 18th, while passing Maguarayas,
fired a house where Narciso Lopez, an
American citizen, was breakfasting.
They made him prisoner, took him to
the roadway, shot him and left the
corpse unburied. The small column
commanded by Lao, April 14th, while
passing Santo Domingo, seized eighteen
peaceable citizens and shot them all
The official report says that they had
an encounter with Cuban forces, which
they routed, killing them.

tiles of the kind stated, and were l to
attempt to give you an account of those
which have come to my knowledge
within the last three weeks / would

taken are the Spanish if they think
that such misdeeds will break down
the spirit of our people, for the reverse

on a charge of perjury. He is strange

to be insane. Several months ago

Oakland, stating that her husband had
died suddenly. Mrs. Downing was pros
trated by the news, and had Woodward
arrested for the offense as soon as she
