THE STORIES DISAGREE.
Sensational Testimony in the Avon
School Row.


School Row.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Feb. 24.-The
testimony introduced in the ROchOll in
vestgation this morning showed more
sensational features than at any time
since taken up. Rocholl was placed on
the stand for crOss-examination by the
attorney for the cOmplainants. He re-
fused to answer many questions, say
ing that he would answer them in di-
rect examination. He admitted how
ever, that in fully 10C schools in this
county the Catholic history Of the Bible
was used for a reader. He denied point
that prayers must go on.
Attorney Calhoun subjected Rocholl
to hot shot for some time, during which
the superintendent contradicted him.
self q number of times. He admitted
Heinen's qualifications as teacher, but
said complaints had been made against
him for playing poker, etc. One Of
RochOlpS witnesses on the stand testi-
fed that the reason he stood to dis
charge Heinen as a teacher, at a meet
ing held to take a vote, was because
Heinen refused to say prayers in the
school.
The case is beginning to grow inter-
esting and unusual developments are
expected before the investigation is
completed. Mrs. Heinen, wife of the
teacher, testified to having heard Ro-
choll tell her husband that prayers
should be said. Rocholl denied this
and her testimony was direct contra

WASHINGTON, Feb 24.-Attention
the senate today by the presentation
of three resolutions on that subject.
One of these came by unanimous vote
from the committee on foreign rela-
tions, and called for the immediate
and unconditional release of Julio San
gully, held at Havana. Mr.. Morgan,
who reported the resolution, will en-
deavOr to secure action on it tomor-
row. Another resolution by Mr.. Allen
(Neb) calls on the president to eff
fectively protect American citizens in
Cuba, and for that purpose to send
battleships to Cuban waters. This
resolution also comes up tomorrow. A
third resolution, by Mr.. Hill IN. W
was agreed to, requesting the secre-
tary of state for all correspondence
with Consul General Lee relative to
Americans imprisoned in Cuba.
A sensational episode occurred late
in the day during the consideration of
the Indian bill. Several Of the New
England senators had criticised vari-
Gus items. This aroused Mr.. Petit
grew IS. d., in charge Of the bill, to
oO1IlC IlC IGClldlS Ol
practiced against Indians in Massa-
chusetts in the early days Mr.. Hoar
(MassD defended his state and amid
impressive silence arraigned Mr.. Petit
grew, New Englander by birth, for
"befouling the nest in which he was
born
The controversy arose over local
claims against the fund of the old
settlers and Western Cherokees. The
committee amendment referred the
claims to the court of claims. When
Mr.. Chandler criticized the amendment
as unfavorable to the Indians. Mr..
PettigreW declared that this New Eng
land solicitude as to the poor Indian
was an atonement for what New Eng
land had done against the Indian.
Having made martyr Of Miles STAN
dish, the Indians had been put on an
island in Boston harber and starved
to death. The blacklist page in the
history of the Anglo Saxon race, de-
clared Mr.. Pettigrew, is that Of Mas
sachusetts' treatment of the Indians.
No chapter in the history of slaveland
in darkest Africa was as black as the
action of Massachusetts, asserted the
senator
Mr.. Hoar (Rep., Mass.) made an earn
est protest, declaring that Mr.. Petit

grew had been misled by false reports
Thereupon, Mr.. Pettigrew drew forth
a mass of historical detail and read
circumstantial accounts of early atroc-
tiles against the Indians in Massachu-
setts.
Senators Hoar and Lodge (Mass.
followed with evident disapprOval and
made frequent Interruptions. AS Mr.
Pettigrew Is a New Englander by
birth, Mr.. Chandler asked at one point
will the senator say where he was
born??"
Mr.. Pettigrew said an answer was
unnecessary, as the purpose Of the
question was evident.
And has the senator ever heard
about that bird" queried Mr. Frye.
Here Mr.. Hill, who was in the chair,
stopped Interruptions by rap of the
gavel and then caused a shout of
laughter by announcing in droll tones
THE senator from South Dakota de-
clines to state where he was born"
Mr.. Pettigrew responded that the
chairs remark seemed uncalled for,
but as the gentleman (1ilD was about
to retire from the senate, he could be
endured for the present.
Mr.. Hill, continuing his droll tones,
answered.: 1.-The chair will endure the
senator from South Dakota"
Mr.. Hoar (Mass.) made a calm but
earnest reply, saying this appeared to
be an effort to divert attention from
proposition in the bill, which would
not bear inspection. Turning TO Mr.
Pettigrew, the Massac achusetts senator,
amid impressive silence, said: II can
only pity the man who can find in his
tory nothing but the material for be-
fOuling the nest in which he was born.
l do not wonder that the senator from
South Dakota declines to expose him
self by answering the question Of the
senator from New Hampshire as to
where he was born" .---.
Senator Nelson had a lively clash
with Senator Villas, of Wisconsin early
In the day. Nelson made a determined
stand for passing Senator Quay's bill
extending the time for completing the
Duluth Superior bridge Villas claimed
that Quay was representing a Pennsyl-
vania steel cOmpany's interest, and
that Nelson was a corporation at
tCrney in the matter. This evidently
nettled the Minnesota senator and he
replied to Villas with much feeling. He
stated that Villas was pursuing dog
tn-the-manger policy" and it was a
narrow minded piece of work to object
to consideration. The bill, the Min
nesota senator declared, merely asked
al extension Of time to build a bridge
essential to communication between
Duluth and Superior, and which gave
employment to a large number of men

four hours a day The lower dam
would be better than the upper on ac-
count of the springs which emptied
into the stream between them.
w. r. Gillis, who inspected the
Anoka site, said he had drawn up plans
for its drainage from the site to tha
Rum river, 2,150 feet. The river is
closer at other points, but it was not
deemed advisable to let the sewage
into the river above the city intake
pipe.
viii the sewage from the hospital
pollute the water supply at Minneap-
oLs?'' asked Senator Young
That is hard to tell There are two
starch factories also dumping refuse
into the river below the mouth of this
proposed sewer
Senator Potter was registered as pres
ent, coming in in time to deliberate
with the committee.
o. L. Cutter, of Anoka, said that he
believed that site was the finest in the
state. 1t did not have any building
stone like the Hastings site, but there
was fine brickyard just across the
street. There was plenty Of wood for
fuel purposes easy of access Artesian
wells would give plenty of drinking
water.
Engineer Wilson was then called by
Mr.. Staples to tell about drainage fa-
ciEtieS at Anoka. He said he could not
recommend the emptying of any house
sewage into the river above the dam.
1t would be dangerous he thought, after
the recent epidemic at Duluth.
Mr.. Wilson said If any citizen of
Anoka sought to enjoin the city from
dumping the sewage above the dam, he
thought the courts would undoubtedly
grant the injunction. 1t would not be
long before the people Of Minneapolis
would kick on it if the city Of Anoka
did not. He figured that 12-inch sewer
from the hospital site to the Pleasant
Street bridge would be $4,000
1t was nearly 1890 when the commit
tee finished with the witnesses, and
this time went into executive session in
real earnest, only adjourning at 1890.
1t was then stated by Chairman Gull
kin that there was no hope of an agree
ment and that two reports were inev-
table. Further than this-he- declined
to state.
1t was learned after the meeting that
two votes were taken in executive
session. On the question of the besg
position, geographically, Anoka re-
ceived the following six votes: Culkin,
Hicks, Potter, Dare, Shell and Douglas.
The other five didn't vote.
On the question as to the best leca-
ton, all things considered, Hastings
had six votes as follows: Sheehan,

action until Thursday night. .---,~
The biggest fight of the convention,
that over the revision of the cOnStitu-
tion, was unexpectedly sprung on the
congress this afternoon. There are
several notable changes made in the
revised document which constitutes the
report of the committee to make the
revision. Notable among these are
provisions giving the congress the sole
legislative power; holding the congress
in Washington biennialy and in some
other city on intervening years instead
Of always at Washington, and limit
alton of the number Of meetings of the
board of national officers to four times
a year instead of once a month.
More heated discussions have never
marked the past meetings Of the BODY.
The proposed constitution was scath-
ingly denounced by some of the dele
gates. Several motions and resolutions
were lost in the confusion, and ques>
tions put to the chair were frequently
answered by the audience in concert.
Finally harmony was secured by an
agreement to take up the revised con-
stitution section by section for debate
and action.

LONDON, Feb. 24-Hon. George J.
Goschen, first lord of the admiralty,
speaking tonight, announced that the
powers have arrived at an agreement
concerning Crete which, he said, Lord
Salisbury and Mr.. BalfOur would eX-
plain in parliament tomorrow.
The Chronicle, in big type, prints a
display article this morning calling on
the nation to take active steps in the
Cretan situation. Says the Chronicle:
Organize, agitate and denounce the
dishonor to Englands flag by associa-
ton with the sultan and the coercion of
Greece
The Chronicle announces that the
foreign admirals have already request
ed Col. Vassos to quit the island of
Crete, and threaten to lombard him if
he attacks any position occupied by the
Turks. Col. Vassos replied that he
must execute his orders.
dispatch to the Times from Vienna
says: The powers have agreed to give
Crete extensive autonomy. They will
insist that the Turkish troops and ad-
minist1ation be Withdrawn as quickly
as possible, while Greece will be re
quired to evacuate the island and with
draw her ships. If she refuses the
Piraeus will be blockaded.
The Times in an editorial announces
that 1t has an Independent reason for
stating that the foregoing is correct,
and that the acute stage of the crisis
is over.
Discomfort is rapidly growing re-
spect to the policy of the govern
ment towards Crete. The Liberals are
furious and their newspapers are MAX
ing violent appeals to the passions of
the people. The Daily Chronicle strong
ly urges the masses to agitate at all
lengths against the government and
Jerome X. Jeromes paper today says
that the Marquis of Salisbury is no
Englishman, that he is doing the bid
ding of that 'pOmpouS blackguard en-
perOr William" and accuses the con-
servative papers of being owned body
and SOUL by capitalists and indulges
in other language toward them which
is almost unprintable, showing that
some English papers can sin in this
respect more deeply than the Ameri-
can papers they so frequently taunt
with the offense The concluding sem
tences of the article in Today are:
"If the concert of Europe must be
broken up to have done with this
devils work. in the name of God let
ii go down and be drowned in it's own
blood. Better war from the Rhine to
the Urals than that this infamy should
continue. There has been a contest of
nothing but the shrieks of the dying
and the tortured.''
A dispatch to the Times from Athens
says: Two Of the most influential pa
pers counsel moderation and Difference
to the European powers. Other pa
pers urge an immediate declaration of
war and an advance into Macedonia
the consequence of which," they say,
would injure Europe more than
Greece"

of Chicago and vicinity were hard hit by
the betting fraternity today and drop.
ped fully $4,000 on one race The
coup was made in the third race at
New Orleans where those in the secret
plunged heavily on Ondague to win.
The odds were long at the start but
SO much money poured in that the
books cut the odds down to to s.
Even then the money kept pouring in
and finally several of the books re-
fused to take any more bets on Onda-
que. The Elmhurst book which had a
capital Of $4,000 was compelled to re-
tire from business after it had met all
OF its losses. The Roby book was
compelled to close until arrangements
could be made to borrow more money.
All losses were paid but it is poorer
by $25,000. The books received another
heavy blow on Ferrier, in the fourth
race at Ingleside.
Several of the books are decidedly
groggy tonight and they may not
open tomorrow. Nearly all of the
money went to what is known as the
Featherstone-Ryan combina ton of bet
ters. 1t is said that they also won
heavily in Cincinnati.

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 4.-The gist
of the iron ore producers meeting was
made known this morning. The Rock
efeller interests, represented by F. T.
Gates, of New York, urged the contin-
uance Of the association by every
means and argument at command
Mr.. Gates admitted that a continuance
of the association would of necessity
limit the output of the Rockefeller
interests, but he urged that such a
procedure would be best for the pro-
ducers. The Minnesota Iron company
refused to meet the proposition of Mr.
Gates, but, at the same time, did not
specially demand that the pool dis
solve. The Norrie mine representa-
tives were in favor of making a low
rate, regardless of the Mesaba inter-
ests. The Rockefeller interests will be
squarely in favor Of maintaining the
pool.
