upon.

a letter from Senator Armstrong, who
said he favored such session and will

A Lawrence, Kan, Eloping Couple Try
ing to Get Out of Jail
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. IA writ of
habeas corpus returnable before Judge
Bahrs to-day was served upon Chief of
Police Crowley yesterday in the case
of Mrs E. 1. Charlton and C. A. Rich,
the couple who e1oped from Lawrence,
Kan, several weeks ago.
The couple arrived from San Diego
on the steam schooner Excelsior and
were arrested on a telegra m from a
Kansas sheriff. Mrs. Charlton's two
children are with her IN the city
prison. Her husband is expected to
arrive in the city to-day with requisi-
ton papers upon which he is expected
to take Rich back to Lawrence to be
tried for abduction.
The police think that the facts do
not warrant the belief that the evil
dence will make out the crime of alb
duction. Rich is prepared to show
that when Mrs. Charlton left her
house, he was in New Orleans, and
that his meeting with Mrs. Charlton
in San Diego was not prearranged.
Mrs. Charlton says that under no cir
cumstanceS will she return with her
husband or consent to live with him
again. She says her husband treated
her with extreme cruelty and that she
has left him for good 1t is under
stood that Mrs. Charlton came to San
Francisco intending to obtain a resi-
dence and thereafter bring Rsuit for a
divorce.

FIRST STORY.

in 5his respect. A reliable house IL al
ways the best and cheapest to deal with.
The duplex double oven range, with one
oven fixed for broiling uses, is probably
the best modern range for large family
and costs about $50. A boiler to heat by-
hot water or steam costs S95 for smaiS
house, while for houses of from 8 to Il
rooms, the cost will be $14 to 5000. The
radiators, valves and piping cost about
the same as the boiler. A good hot air
furnace for a large house is one made for
two fires, so that one or both may be used
as necessity requires. Cast iron is the best
for all parts of furnace except the cas-
ings, as cast iron lasts twice as long as
wrought for this purpose not being af-
fected by rust.

IS AN ARCH TRAITOR.

Miss AuthOny's Opinion of President Eliot
of Harvard.
ROCHESTER,, n. Y. January 17.-Miss
Susan B. Anthony is very much in
censed at the charge of President Eliot
of Harvard regarding the criticism that
she distorted his letter in Issuing her call
for the national suffrage association.
Miss Anthony said: ''The first and only
time ever saw President Eliot was at
the convention of all the superintendents
of schools in the United States. Before
that great audience President Eliot de-
clared that it was not to the interests of
American patriots or loyalty to have
woman teachers in the schools. Mr.. Eliot
is not an American of whom true pat
riot should be proud. He is an arch
traitor and has by this letter alone COM
mitted treason"

CLEVELAND. Ohio, Jan. 1.-THE Cen
trail Labor Union has issued a chal-
lenge to Chief Arthur, of the Engi-
neers' Brotherhood, to meet Debs in
joint debate on Saturday evening.
The challenge was issued on the au-
thority of Debs, who says that if Ar
thur will meet him he will show him
up in such way as to drive him from
the labor movement. Debs says the
Engineers Brotherhood is simply an
annex of the railway corporations
Thus far Arthur has ignored the chal-
1enge.

HALL FOR THE CONVENTION.
The Coliseum, Near the Worlds FaI1
Grounds. Likely to Be Used.

CHICAGO, Jan, !7.-Among the build
ings in Chicago capable of housing the
convention are TattersalPs, at Six
teenth and Clark streets, and the COLI
scum, now in process of construction
on the ground occupied by Buffalo
Bills Wild West show during the
worlds fair. The latter building,
when completed, will be splendidly
adapted to the purpose, and will, with
out doubt, be used for the convention.
The building is twice the size of Madi-
son Square garden, and when COM
pleted will have a seating capacity of
20, 900 people. 1t is about seven miles
from the city hall, but the transit ia
cilities are SO great that there will be
no inconvenience on that account.
The New York and Missouri delega-
tions have secured quarters at the
Auditorium annex. The national
committee will go to the Auditorium
hotel. The managers of this place an
nounced last night that they would
rent no more rooms for political pur-
poses during the next thirty days.

TALKING ON PENSIONS.
The Debate in the House the Subject
Consumes Another Day.

Consumes Another Day.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE general
discussion of the pension bill in the
House closed yesterday, and to-day it
will be taken up by paragraphs. Mr..
Crow attempted to speak on a matter
of privilege. The subject which he
wished to discuss was a passage con
tanned in a pamphlet pu blished by
the New York chamber of
commerce, which he said,
was an attack upon the good
faith of the House. The pamphlet
criticised the House for not paying
Canadian sealers the $500, 900 it was
asserted had been arbitrated and
awarded to the owners of the seized
vessels. Mr.. Grow demanded to be
allowed to speak upon it as question
of privilege, but Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia,
made the point that the pamph let pre-
scented no question of privilege. Mr..
Grow cOntended that, since reflections
upon members of the House were ques-
tions of privilege, reflections upon the
whole House were much more privi-
legged.
The board of arbitration did not
award dollar of damages, Mr.. Grow
declared. IF that had been done, it
would have been dishonest OF to pay
it, and it was reflection on the House
to say that such an award was made
and not paid
Here the speaker ruled that no
question of privilege was presented,
whereupon Nj. Grow took his seat,
saying: 'Well. am satisfied"
Mr.. Bartlett made a vigorous reply
to the attacks which have been made
upon his first speech dcring the two
days since he made it.
Mr.. Blue. Republican; of Kansas, a
member of the apprOpriations com
mittee, explained the provisions of the
bill, and attacked Mr.. Bartlett's posi-
ton in a humorous way.
Mr.. Moody, Repu blican, of Massa-
cnusetts then announced the death of
General Cogswell, which occurred last
May. ard at 3:45, as a mark of respect,
the house adjourned.
