KILLED BY A BURGLAR.
Prominent Manufacturing JeweIer
Slain on His own Doorstep.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., March S.--William
0. Hutchins, one of the best known manu-
featuring jewelers. in the East, was shot and
almost instantly killed by a burglar who
had entered his residence about o'clock
tonight The tragedy occurred in front of
the victims own doorsteps. The burglar en-
tered the house by a rear door and went to
the servants room, from which he stole SIS.
He then went into Mrs. Hutchinss room,
and was looking for valuables there when
Mrs. Hutchins entered. On seeing the in
truder she ran down stairs and told her
husband. After advising his wife TO go to
his fathers house, next door, Mr.. Hutchins
took cane from a rack and was ascend
ing the stairs to his wife's room when he
heard the burglar open window and jump
to the portico over the front entrance. Mr..
Hutchins went down stairs, intending to
head off the burglar. The burglar dropped
from the portico to the grass embankment
below. AS his feet struck the earth Hutch
ins dashed at him and struck him a heavy
blow over the head with the cane. The
stick broke in two ana Hutchins retreated
to the sidewalk. AS he did so the burglar
drew revolver and fired at him. Hutchins
was hardly ten feet away, and the bullet
struck him just over the heart. He stag
gered to a drug store on the corner and
died in fifteen minutes. The robber es-
capped. The police have an adequate de-
scription of him.

he has talked on the subject that he looked
upon the appropriation as a peace meas
ure," and the House noisily applauded Mr..
Cannon when he echoed this sentiment and
declared earnestly on presenting the bill
that it was not war, but 'peacc ap-
preparation" There was an honest attempt
to give the debate that color, but the mem
bers found it impossible to restrain them
selves wholly, and frequent rather unfriend-
ly mention was made of SPAIN while twen-
ty or more speakers gave voice to hot sym
pathy for Cuba and to the hope that she
would gain her independence.
The bill was rushed over to the Senate
with all haste reaching there before that
body adjourned. There was some hope that
of the lateness of the hour it was referred
to the committee on appropriations, which
is expected to report it tomorrow. The
Senate view is to pass it practically with
out debate but a rumor is afioat tonight
that the small group of Cuban irreconcil-
ables who voted for Aliens congressional
inquiry resolution a couple of weeks ago
will insist on knowing why the appropri-
alton is asked and renewing the demand
for the Cuban consular correspondence.
Such opposition could not be an important
obstruction to the bill, however, and an
overwhelming majority would run over it.

PATRIOTISM WAS RIFE
CONCERT FOR BENEFIT OF FAMI-
LIES OF CREW OF THE MAINE.
President and Mrs. Mckinley Present
'Star-spangled Banner" Sung
by the Audience.

WASHINGTON, March S.-The audience
which crowded the National Theater at the
womans concert, given this afternoon for
the benefit of the families of the men who
lost their lives in the Maine disaster, was
in every way the most notable body ever
assembled in a washington theater. The
President and Mrs. Mckinley occupied seats
in the box of the Secretary of the Navy
and Mrs. Long, while in the immense audi
ence were the Secretary of State and Mrs.
Sherman, the Postmaster General and Mrs.
Gary, the family of the secretary Of war,
Mrs. Gage, the Attorney General and Mrs.
Griggs, Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt, Senator Hale and Representative
Boutelle chairman of the naval affairs
committee of the House, with almost the
entire body of Washington society and
thousands of sympathetic residents of the
Capitol, including sixty sailors from the
navy yard, who filled one entire row of re-
served seats in the gallery.
The concert was under the direction of
the relief association, which is headed by
Mrs. Long, wife Of the secretary, and COM
posed of Mrs. Long, Mrs. Crowninshield,
Mrs. O'Neil, Mrs. Bradford, Mrs. Matthews
Mrs. Hichborn. Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. Hey
wood, Mrs. Van Reypen, Mrs. Lemley, Mrs.
clover ana MISS be6CndIn. Inc large Ln6-
ater was artisticaly draped in flags. the silk
banner over the door used by the President
being the largest and handosmest owned
by the government. The long programme
closed with the "Star-spangled Banner"
the audience rising and joining in the cho-
rus. Twenty officers Of the army, navy and
marine corps, each in full uniform, acted as
ushers, while prominent young women of
the navy and army families sold pro-
grapmes and small flags, which were
waved vigorously by the eager purchasers
during the singing of THE Star-spangled
Banner"
A large crowd collected in front Of the
theater just before the close of the per-
formance and pressed forward to await the
appearance of the President He left the
house before the audience. The Presidents
appearance at the doorway, with Mrs. Nc
Kfnley on his arm, was the signal for an
outburst of cheering, waving of flags and
hand-clapping. Both the President and
Mrs. Mckinley seemed pleased at the dem
.onstration, and smiled they acknowl-
edged it with a slight inclination of the
head. Another and louder cneer was given
as the presidential carriage was driven
away.

COLLECTED S165,8O8.49
SOUTH TOWN OFFICERS MADE A
RAID ON SIX CHICAGO BANKS.
Lyman j. Cages First National Had
to Settle Its Taxes or Have It's
Doors Closed by BaiIiRs.

CHICAGO. March S-Several Chicago
bankers had a novel experience with tax
collectors to-day. Two men entered the
First National Bank just before noon and
went directly to the Office of the president.
without ceremony they addressed the vice
president, d. r. Forgan, and informed him
. they wanted $S5, II in cash as quickly as
he could produce it. They told Mr.. Forgan
that unless he paid over the money without
delay they would shut the doors of the
pank and help themselves. 1t was a case of
collection of taxes under a decision of the
Superior Court, which refused to sustain an
Injunction asked for by six banks against
South Town Collector Ernest. The bill
sought to enjoin the collection on the
ground that the assessments were excessive
and fraudulent The banks affected were
the First National, Fort Dearborn Ma
tional, Northwestern National. Globe Ma
tional, Bankers National and National
Bank Of America.
The decision of Judges Shepard and
Freeman was pronounced this morning. Eff
forts to notify Z. B. Tolman, counsel for
the banks, failed, while the attorney for
the South Town collector, John j. Rooney
secured at once a certified copy of the
courts order Armed with this copy and
with special bailiffS at their heels, Collector
Ernest and attorney Rooney fastened to
the First National Bank and demanded i'm
mediate payment of the tax. Mr.. Forgan
was astonished and led his visitors into
the office OF the banks attorney, Orville
Peckham.
''This is news to me-" said Mr.. Peck
ham. You will allow me at least to COM
municate with my associate solicitors be-
fore going any further
Collector Ernest replied that he would
levy on the banks property Instantly unless
the money was forthcoming and close the
banks doors. I'VE have enough men to
close this bank" said Attorney Rooney.
After hurried consultation Mr.. Peckham
advised the payment of the tax rather than
risk such a disturbance to business as might
follow Collector Ernest was given S5,27S.12
with due notice that his right to take the
same was denied. All that was required
was sight of the warrant and little
explanation to the other bank officials
The Bankers National paid over $13. .2S6.15,
the Fort Dearborn National $9726.S9, the
Globe National $I4,39O14, the Northwestern
National $2S 7S6.72 and the American Ma
ticnal SIS, ,365.97. Each bank protested and
refused to accept a receipt from Collector
Ernest, showing that the money had been
taken in payment of taxes.

CONFESSED TO STEALING.
Secretary Of the Western Joint Traf-
fic Bureau a DefauIter.

CHICAGO, March SAN investigation in
to the accounts of the Western Joint Traffic
Bureau. which has been going on for sew
eral days, has disclosed the fact that Will
liam II. Hosmer, secretary of the bureau,
was short to the amount of about So 900. The
disclosures incidentally may lead to the dis
solution OF the bureau and it's reorgaaiza-
sion. Mr.. Hosmer. after being faced with
the proofs Of his defalcation, made a con-
fession to J. w. Midgeley. chairman OF the
bureau. He admitted having taken the
money, but claimed he had not intended to
keep it. and would ultimately have re-
turned 1t. He said he had used the money
in small amounts when he needed IL for
household expenses. Hosmer has not been
arrested. There is no disposition to prose-
cute him. and he is engaged in assisting the
experts examine the books. He has asked
Mr.. Midgeley to grant him another chance:
10 give him a clerkship. SO that he may save
from his salary to replace what he ras
taken. Already he has given Mr. Midgeley
a check for $1,000 for that purpose lIosmer
was connected with the bureau for aftaen
years. and implicitly did Mr.. MIageIey
trust him that there never was an exainina-,
tion OF the books.
The Indianapolis journal., 1898-03-09

has granted. The officers must be nominated
to Congress, and the commissions are only
waiting on the forms. Meanwhile, beyond
the statement that the two senior lieutenant
col0nels of the existing artillery regiments
will be made colonels of the two new regi-
ments, the names of the officers are with
held.
Three weeks ago tonight the Maine was
blown up AS 1t was last week at this time
so it is now; nothing is known officially as
to the cause of the disaster. The court is
at work hard. that is all that is known at
the Navy Department. 1t is not even known
when it may be expected to finish its work
But the importance of it's report does not
diminish in the slightest degree by the lapse
of time, and in the midst of diversions
caused by more recent happenings the more
thoughtful officials have not lost sight Of
the fact that when the report of the court
of inquiry comes to the Navy Department
in the hands of some trusty naval officer,
probably Lieutenant Commander Mark
himself the judge advocate of the court,
the government may be face to face with
another and vital issue.
Senor Du Bose called at the State De-
partment late in the day and had half
hours conference with Judge Day. He
brought no dispatches, and the talk did not
relate to the present strained condition of
affairs, but was rather an informal discus
sion of the condition of affairs in Cuba. In
the course of the visit it is understood that
Mr.. Du Bose suggested that some of the
newspaper correspondents at Havana were
trespassing on the privileges which the Ha-
Yana authorities had accorded them.
The new Spanish minister, Senior Polo
ID
row on German line steamer. He is ex
pected at the legation the following day,
and arrangements will then be made for
the presentation of his credentials to Pres
ident Mckinley. There will be the usual
exchange of Fluctuations, which will be of
more than passing interest Senior Polo left
Madrid before the recent critical juncture
was reached, and at the time of his de-
parture the new commercial treaties were
uppermost in the interest of the Madrid
thorities The new minister speaks English
fiuently, having been in this country for
several years. He is married, his wife be-
ing the daughter of one of the most influen-
tial men in Spain.
The appearance at the White House to-
day of Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador gave rise to the report that he
had come to tender to the President the
good offices of Great Britain and mediate
between the United States and Spain. AS a
matter of fact, the ambassadors visit was
for no such purpose, but related to another
matter of diplomatic negotiation between
the United States and Great Britain
The President this afternoon signed the
Hawley BILL providing for two additional
regiments of artillery to man the coast de-
fenses.
