Honduras Insurgents said to be Sue
ceeding.

The fruit steamship Breakwater arrived
at New Orleans Monday night, bringing
passengers who are Outspoken in their be-
lief that the instruction against President
Bonilla will succeed The instruction
was due to the course Of President Bonilla
in disregarding the rights of the foreign
population of the country" The first at.
tack was made by the insurgents on the
cabildo in Puerto Cortez on April IL, and
few insurgents routed 300 government
troops, and now hold the city. In that at
tack the insurgents were led by an Eng
lishman named Drummond. Two days
later Drummond and his men appeared in
San Pedro, having captured the train in
Puerto Cortez when the troops were rout-
ed San Pedro was taken without a shot
being fired, the troops, nearly 200, having
fed to the woods at the news of the cap
ture of Puerto Csrtez and the approach of
the insurgents The insurgent band was
reinforced in Plamenta, and at last &C
counts was moving on Tegucigalpa. Mr..
Conner says that the insurgents are in
charge of American and English officers.

Kelley Pleaded Guilty to Murder.

Joseph E. Kelley, the murderer of Cash
Ter Stickney of the Great Falls National
bank, was arraigned at Somersworth, n.
H., and pleaded guilty to the charge of
murder. Kelley's father, who was expect
ed to be present, did not come, neither
was there counsel or friend to appear in
his behalf, The prisoner was seated when
the judge arose, but was ordered to stand.
He was so weak that it was only by clutch
ing the table that he was able to keep his
feet. His head was bowed upon his
breast, and for two minutes he stood mo-
tionless. AS the judge in reading the war
rant reached the words, with a police
mans billy did hit him on the head and
with a razor did then cut his throat" Kel-
ley began TO break down and before the
judge finished he was sobbng like child.
His sobs could be heard at the other end of
the hail. and he seemed completely I'M
nerved.
Judge Knapp was obliged to repeat the
question, Are you guilty or not guilty?'
three times before Kelley answered the
one word, Guilty" so low that he could
be heard only few feet away Immedi-
ately after the hearing officers took him
back to Dover jail. The case is now in
the hands of the supreme judicial court of
New Hampshire, which will determine the
degree of guilt at the session in September.

1925 Miles 1899 Minutes

The locomotive Engineer says: We are
convinced that the run made over the Chi
cage, Burlington d Quincy, from Chicago
to Denver, deserves to be considered the
most extraordinary run ever made The
distance from Chicago to Denver, 1925
miles, was covered in exactly 1869 minutes
actual running time. This was only a
small fraction less than one mile a minute
for the longest continuous run ever made
by any railroad company. A notable thing
about the run was that no special prepare
ton whatever was made for the trip. There
were no delays from hot boxes or any other
causes, and it looks as if trains could be
run daily over that long distance, and make
the time of that special train.

AItgeld's Connection with the Defunct
Chicago Bank.


To the fact that ex-Gov. Altgeld and a
half-dozen men closely allied with him were
heavy borrowers from the Globe savings
bank of Chicago the failure of that insti-
tuition is by many ascribed. This was
brought out in the investigation by the
senatorial committee Monday, and it was
the startling feature of the day. At the
time the bank closed its doors more than
S32, 900 due it, directly and indirectly,
from Altgeld, had been charged up to prof
it and loss by the bank examiner. More
startling still was the information from ex-
State Bank Examiner Robinson, that seven
men whose names have been banded about
in connection with the banks failure and
with Spadings deialcation owed the bank
1884, 92j in 1892. The capital stock of
the bank was then only 100000, Among
these men was Gov. Altgeld, who then
owed the bank $4,000. In addition to
this, the bank had $4,000 worth of Unity
Building company (of which Altgeld is
president) stock, for which, it is said, 80
cents on the dollar was loaned; and which
stood on the books of the bank as a $40,
600 asset.

With the shadow of a great scandal
thrown over it, the New York legislature
adjourned Saturday. 1t did not adjourn
until it had appropriated more money than
any legislature that ever sat in Albany,
and provided for the expenditure of $12,-
100000, to be raised by taxation on real
and personal property; IS, 100000 of other
revenue, and 100000 which has accu-
INFLATED in the comptroller's hands The
tax rate, which is two one-hundredths of a
mill less than last year, shows nothing.
The tax rate is really heavier burden
than last year, for the assessors have
marked up the valuation of property in
