ZANOLI STILL IN JAIL.
Body of One Of His Wives VIII He
Exhumed and Examined.

NEW YORK, Dec. Ie.-Charles Zanoii
who is suspected OF having killed four OF
his wives and three other persons for the
purpose of collecting insurance money on
their lives, is still a prisoner at police
headquarters.
He continues his protestations of inno-
cence. In his conversation Zanon ex-
presses himself as being more than ready
10 help the detectives toward the solution
of all doubtful questions. and Chief De-sc-
tive Mcciuskey acknowledges that the
prisoner had offered him assistance in
clearing up some Of the details of the in
yestigation which have cost much time
and trouble.
The police have learned that the young
woman who had been selected by Zanoli
as his fifth wife, just before his arrest on
Thursday last is Barbara Hoffner, Is
years Of age, a resident of Brooklyn. She
had answered an advertisement of Zanoli
under the name of e. Wagner.
Zanoli has a smattering knowledge Of
medical things. which he gained in his
apprenticeship for the trade Of barber in
Germany. He is able to pull teeth and to
perform the operation known as cup
ping" and as familiar with the blister
raised after cupping process. 1t is possi-
BILE. Chief McCluskey thinks, that he may
be possessed of the same general knowi-
edge OF deadly drugs.
The police are now satisfied that Zanoli
did not make away with the child Lena
Werna. daughter of one of the prisoners $
dead wives. The girl Is now in Germany
with her relatives. The body of Jennie
Schlessinger, the fourth wife, will be ex-
humed tomorrow.

PORT TOWNSEND. Dec. I2.-The Amer
lean four-masted schooner William II.
Witzemann. Capt. Olsen. was towed into
the harbor here this morning in a badly
diiapidated condition. The schooner left
the Sound November So with lumber from
Tacoma for San Francisco.
From the time the schooner left Cape
FIattery on December / she encountered
heavy weather. On the night of December
and when off the mouth OF the CoiuIn-
bia river. the heavy gale increased TO a
hurricane and during the entire night the
storm ragged without cessation. breaking
of and carrying away her main and msZ-
zen masts. leaving only the foremast and
stump. ten feet in length, of tho jigger
mast During the night the schooner
shipped all the water she could hold and
her lumber cargo was all that prevented
ner sinking.
The next morning the few sails remain
ing were rlgged on the foremast and the
schooner headed back TO the Straits of
Fuca, where she was yesterday picked up
by the tug Tyee.
Capt. Olsen says that il was miraculous
that not a man aboard was In any way
injured when the masts and rigging were
swept overheard. Not a door remains In
the schooner's house. every one having
been broken off and washed away. The ex-
act amount of damage sustained by the
schooner cannot be learned until she Is
hauled out. but IL is thought her bull has
been badly strained.
The William F. Wltzemann was built In
1887, her home port Is at San Francisco
and she Is 499 net tonnage. Can't Olsen
saw nothing Of the steamer Cleveland and
the tugs which arrived from Cape Flattery
today have heard nothing of the missing
steamer.
The Witzemann was dsmantled between
and o'clock last Monday evening. about
lf0 miles oft the mouth of the Columbia
river. She was facing strong southeaster
from the time she passed out, five days
before, but was making some progress.
with good part of her canvas spread
when struck by squali at $50 O'Clock on
Monday evening. For few minutes the
wind seemed to come from every direction
and life on board the schooner was not
worth much at that time. The masts were
snapped off and carried overheard without
touching the deck. but the crew of eight
men had terrible time with the deck load
Seas were washing clear over the vessel
and water was already filling the hold. An
attempt was made to get the deck load
overheard. but the crew were kept busy
dodging pieces OF heavy timber that were
thrown about by the waves, and more than
half the time the schooner was under
water
About $4,000 feet of lumber, mostly
heavy timbers. was thrown overheard or
washed of the deck by the seas, and then
il was discovered that the schooner was
taking water, some OF the forward seams
probably having sprung a leak. by next
morning she was filled with water and
has been kept aiioat largely by her lumber
cargo.
She has experienced rough weather ever
since being dsmaniled. and her crew lived
for four days on top of the after cabin. the
only thing that was left on her deck. and
have eaten only such canned stuff ~ could
be gotten out of the galley. the cook using
a coal oil can 10 cook on.

DEBs' SOCIALISTS IN SESSION.
A Typical Kansas POpulist Makes &
Typical Speech

KANSAS. Dec. 12.-At a joint meeting
here today of the Debs Social Democracy
and the Socialist Labor party clubs, strong
PopuliSt addresses were made by G. G..
Clemens, the supreme court reporter of
Kansas. leader in his party, and ex-Gov
Waite. of Colorado. Clemens speech was
rabid. He said in part:
The liberty OF the American people is
without comparison. Honest, now, /
would hate to curtaii this liberty we en-
JOY today. 1t Is perfectly lawful TO shoot
men down on the public highway-shoot
them down In the back, too. The negro
slave was blessing to what we enjoy to-
day. He had a price, was worth 1000 or
5000 and had TO be clothed and fed. He
was cared for and nursed when sick like a
faithful horse. But look today. The Amer
lean iaborer goes from door TO door, beg
ging people to give him 4 chance TO earn
meal. even enough to keep the spark of life
in his almost naked body.
Comparatively. Gov. Waites address
was mild. He began by saying he repre-
sented the Peoples party.
There is a crisis in that party today"
he said. There has been an organized at
tempt to destroy that party. and il has
largely succeeded. Where is the Populist
party? It is like a ship, started on a
grand cruise on the ocean, that has been
deserted by its trusted officers after being
