Reed and Mckinley to Confer on Cub


Washington. May 22.-No Official in
formation can be obtained as to what
action the house may take on the Gu
ban resolution passed by the senate, but
II is understood that Speaker Reed
will have a conference with the presi-
dent on the subject at an early day, and
no action will be taken until after that
conference. The inference, is that the
action of the house managers will be
guided To large extent by the result of
the conference. II is probable that some
attempt will be made on the part of the
Democrats to have the resolution con-
sidered as soon as il reaches the house.
but this canno: be done except by unani-
nous consent, which can be given
only by special order from the COM
mittee on rules. This special order will
not be brought in until the Republican
leaders are ready to have some action
taken.

The management of the prisons for
women in England is very different
from those for men. For one thing,
women convicts are not now required to
wear a distinctive prison garb, or at

their self respect. An appeal, and a
wise one, has been made to this charac-

of a Kansas City common council to
hit upon male attire and the stone pile
as a punishment for women criminals.
The rules are stringent and severe

latter point being decided by the prison
surgeons, who are usually excellent
men-those at Aylesbury being espe-

MRS. SlLvERSTINE TAINTED.
Was Badly Frightened when She
Found "a Thief in Her House.


Hearing a noise in the sitting room,
which was between the kitchen, where
she was at work, and the store, which
fronts on Raymond court, Groceryman
A. Silverstine's wife last night at about
8 o'clock slipped to the connecting
doorway and peered in. A burly col
ored man jumped up suddenly from be-
side bureau which he was ransacking
and covering his face with his hands
made a jump toward her shouting
boo" and following 1t up with an un-
earthly yell.
Mrs. Slverstine toppled over in a
faint and laid there possibly ten min
utes before she came. When she fin
ally recovered she called her husband
who was at a neighbors house and re-
lated her strange and startling adven-
ture. An investigation of the bureau
showed a pocket-book containing 81
missing.
From the description she gave of the
intruder, 1t was surmised that he was
Anthony Scott a colored youth living
few doors away, who has been in
trouble of this kind before.
A warrants for his arrest was secured
from Alderman Millar and Detective
VIII F. Clifford went after him. He
was found at home, and when searched
some of the missing money was found
on his person. Some change was also
found on the top of his bed where it
had evidently been dumped out of the
pocket-book. Scott was locked up and
will be given hearing this morning.
There was nobody in the store at time
of the occurrence and it is supposed
Scott noticing this sneaked in and made
for the bureau where he probably knew
the money was kept.
