CAHTO, Nov. 1.-THE Sheriff's Off
GERS returned to Usal tonight, having
failed to effect the capture of Smith
and Noble, the last Of the quartet sus-
peoted of completely in the murder OF
ran1her John Mudgett. Deputy Sherlfts
Hart and Day say they have the two
men located, and do not anticipate any
great difficulty in effecting their cap
ture.
The preliminary hearing of the Dodge
family and Ferguson, which is set for
tomorrow, requires the presence of the
officers; hence their abandonment OF
the pursuit for the present.
The evidence against the Dodge fam
lily is strongly circumstantial. The fam
lily is known to have been sorely pressed
for money for some time prior to the
murder, and Immediately afterwards
young Dodge endeavored to negotiate
draft that was payable to Mudgett.
Since then the members of the family
have been very flush
The prisoners are well guarded.

CONGRESSMAN NEWLANDS.
Believes the Republicans Should be
Allowed to Pass Tariff Bill.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Icon
gresham f. G.. Newlands of Nevada,
Temporary Chairman of the National
Convention of the Silver party at st.
Louis, outlines the policy of the sup
rorters of free coinage in part as fol-
lows:
Il believe that we should accept the
verdict of the country. The Republic
can party claimed protection and the
Democratic party silver to be the para
mount issues. The people have de-
Clared in favor of protection, and have
given the Republican party contract
for the restoration of prosperity. l be-
lieve it Should be allowed to carry out
any reasonable tariff policy without OBJ
struction. If it brings prosperity, we
will be content If it does not, we will
all know that some other remedy is re-
qured, and by the process of elimina
ton will come down to the only radical
cure, namely, the full restoration of
silver as a money metal.
Let tariff legislation be enacted inn
mediately, and we Will have chance at
the next Congressional election, and if
not then, at the next Presidential cleo
'lolI, " te5L the SelhtllilsiiL oL the Couii-
try ON the silver question alone, unem-
barrassed by tariff. Natural products
and raw material of the South and
West, such as wool, lumber, lead, boz
rax, soda, etc, have suffered seriously
from the Wilson bill, and should receive
protection. Tariff legislation will give
some relief, but not to the extent ex-
pected."
Mr.. Newlands believes there is little
chance of an international agreement
for the restoration of bimetallism.

A WILL BROKEN.
Mrs. Emma L. Parker Will Get All of
Her Father=in-Law'S Estate.

SAN JOSE, Nov. 1.-THE will of the
late George Fl. Parker was broken to-
day, and as 1t now stands Mrs. Emma
I. Parker, the widow of Edward L.
Parker. the only son of the testator
will secure the whole estate, which Is
valued at upward of $4,000.
The verdict was that Parker was of
unsound mind at the time the will and
both of its codicils were made, the jury
standing nine to three. This was the
only question at issue, as the charges
of fraud and undue influence were
stricken out during the trial
Under the will Edward L. Parker, the
husband Of the contestant, was left $500
a month during his lifetime, and the
rest of the property was bequeathed to
relatives. The first trial resulted in a
disagreement, the jury standing seven
TO five. A new trial will be asked.

ARCHBISHOP IRELAND.
No CredenCe Given to the Rumor That
Tie is to be Removed.

ST. PAUL, Nov 11.-When Archbish-
op Irelands attention was called to-day
TO the published rumor that his recent
utterances were disapproyed at Rome,
and he would be removed from the See
of St Paul, he refused to dignity the
Iumor by making a statement, laugh
ing away the whole matter. From those
near the Archbishop, however, a brief
statement that the rumor was an alb
surdity and unworthy of any credence
or notice was secured.
LONDON, Nov. IA News Agency
dispatch from Rome says: Statements
circulated in the United States that the
Pope had decided TO remove Archbishop
ireland from the diocese of ST Paul
are untrue, but it is said by those quail
flea to know that Archbishop Ireland
hos lost the major part of the former
consideration in which he was held at
the Vatican, and that the course he
pursued in the recent election in the
United States had increased this dis
favor.
NEW YORK, Nov IA Rome spe-
cai to the Journal says: Cardinal
Satolli has just presented to the Pope
Eis report in regard to religious ques-
tons in the United States. It is well
known what it contains, although it is
not intended TO be published.
Cardinal Satolli makes n yeritabIe
requisition against Bishop Keane and
the Catholic University of the United
States at Washington. He accuses
Bishop keane of having in public
speeches uttered opinions which Dor
dered on heresy, and says that, in ac-
cord with Archbishop Ireland he en-
deavored to acclimatize a new Catholi-
cism on American soil. Cardinal Satolli
declares that the University at Wash
iagton had become the heart Of these
IDEAS where the most bold and risky
theories were put forward. Fortunately,
he says, the removal of Bishop Keane
mas cut short the evil at its root, but
the Bishop left behind dangerous dis
ciples. and the Cardinal advises the
Lope TO deprive them, in their turn, of
their offices.
But the Cardinal shows himself more
severe in his arraignment of Archbish-
o.. Ireland. He declares that this prelate
is the creator of new Catholicism in
the United States. and he formally ac-
cuses him Of the apostle primate.
