Not q Pirate,

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 7.-The re-
port that the government intended to
prosecute the alleged fliouster, the
Three Friends, and her officers, on a
charge of piracy is without foundation.
Soon after the Three Friends returned
from her last trip into Cuban waters,
when she was said to have used her guns
against Spanish cruiser, the officers of
the department of justice took occasion
to look up the Law on the subject of
piracy, and it is understood it was found
the weight of authorities international
law as applied to this country was large
ly against the theory that the officers of a
vessel in the situation of the Three
Friends, even if it could be shown that
shots were fired at the Spanish vessel
could not be held as pirates.
The accepted definition of the word
pirate is one who is an enemy OF all man
kinda highway robber on the seas. The
fact, therefore, that the Three Friend:
fired upon the vessel of another nation /!
not, in the opinion of the officials of TIT
department Of justice. sufficient to-
action against her as pirate.

Alleged Slayer of Arbuckle.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 7.-Frederick
Bauman, alias Wilson, a prisoner in the
county Jail, awaiting trial for forgery and
obtaining money under false pretenses.
claims to have been concerned in the
murder of Frank P. Arbuckle in New
York, November 10. Bauman says his
father is ]. Edward Baumln, banker,
at the corner of Monroe and Dearborn
streets, Chicago.
In his confession he duplicates Dave
Edmunds, an actor. whom he says is now
playing an engagement at Evanston,
Ill. According to his story they met Ar.
buckle in Sullivan's S saloon in New York,
and noticing that he was well supplied
with money, followed him and knocked
him on the head.
The Jail officials think that Bauman is
pretending to be crazy in order that be
m ay be sent to an asylum.

Insurgents Want Peace.

Chicago, Jan. IA dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington, says:
Positive statements were made tonight
from Spanish legation sources, that Go
mez, the Cuban commander-in-chief, had
actually submitted a proposition for
peace to Senor Sagasta, IN Madrid, and
that the facts have already been commu-
nicated to the junta here. All that stands
in the way, it says, is the proposed recall
of Captain General Weyler, which the
insurgents insist shall be preliminary to
all negotiations.
The statements come to the Tribune
correspondent with great distinctness,
but as the source is Spanish, there is an
open suspicion that the news may be
given out for the express purpose of in
juring the insurgent cause.
Secretary Quesada and other Cuban
representative here have all along denied
that the insurgents would accept any,
thing short of independence, and they
profess to be- shocked. and disappointed
at the story of yielding on the part OF
Gomez. They will not admit that he has
communicated with them, but the lega'
ton story is to the effect that letter
from the Cuban general was received by
the iunta on December 9, in which be
says that if Weyler is recalled and Mar.
tinez Campos, Calleja or General Pandc
sent in his place, the insurgents will be
ready to talk of laying down their arms

WANTON WASTE.
The Third Day of the Session Without Any
Headway.

| heau"ay.
Denver, Jan. 8-The third day was
squandered by the so-called reform men,
bers OF both houses of the Legislature, and
nothing was accomplished. The house
spent the day in squabbling over the
appointment of pages and clerks. Every
motion for adjournment by the Mckinley
combine was opposed by the Silver Re,
publicans and Democrats, who have re-
peatedly announced themselves ready
for business.
The morning session was opened by
PRAYER by w. S. Rudolph. Represen
tative Champion announced that the
committee on the number and renumer.
alton of employees had met, and not fla
ished and asked for an extension of time.
Fifteen minutes after the house con-
vened, Sen. Stevens moved for recess
TILL 2:3o and it was carried.
On the opening of the senate, Senator
Evans brought up the question of yester-
days resolution. A substitute was pass
ed allowing the appointment by the SEN
ate instead OF by the president The
senate then adjourned until 2 P. m. In
the afternoon session c. Z. Hagar was
elected as secretary and Myron Reed as
chaplain. The balance of the slate was:
D. A. Mills, sergeant-at-arms. R. {.
Bonney, reading clerk and Stanley Stokes
assistant secretary.
Nothing was done in regard to the in
augural ceremonies, which by law must
occur next Tuesday. There should be
a committee of two Senators and three
Representatives to take charge, but both
the Senate and House were too busy
over the matter of spoiIs. AT an infor
NAL caucus of the combine at noon, a
serious disagreement over spols arose.
The dissolution of the triple alliance
would not be surprising.

TRIED TO STEAL CHILDREN
And Walter Hughes Was Filled Full
of Shot

St. Louis March 20.-A special from
Houston, Texas. says: Walter Hughes.
carpenter and ex-employe of the South
ern Pacific railroad met his death at
the hands of detectives Ellison and
Proctor. Some time ago Hughes pro-
posed to Sol Edel, saloon keeper, to
abduct the children of Berry w. Camp,
a rich lawyer. and Frank Dunn, a
wealthy pawnbroker, and to demand
from the fathers a ransom of $40. 900.
According to EdePs statement, he did
not give Hughes an answer but in
proposal which had been made to him.
ed to accept the offer of Hughes and
entered into the plot, maintaining com
munications with the officers, Messrs.
Camp and Dunn were informed of the
plan. Hughes, in order to carry out
the plan, took a cottage near the Dunn
mansion.
Everything being satisfactorily ar
ranged, last night Hughes went to the
Dunn residence to steal the children.
Guards had been placed over Dunn's
house two weeks ago and last night
Detectives Ellison and Proctor were in
waiting with shotguns. They were
discovered by Hughes, while he was
trying to enter the building. Hughes
fired two shots from a pistol at the Off
GERS, narrowly missing them, and they
poured four loads of buckshot into his
body, literally Kidding it. On his body,
beside a large pistol, was found an inn
mense knife and a bottle of chlorform,
Hughes wife was put under arrest, but
no charges were made against her.
