Blackhawk county grand Jury has re-
turned a large number of indictments,

ton last January by abducting Earl

sisting mt the point of revolver, cap
ture Ivy officers and mob. Shortly at.
ter his arrest he made a sensational
confession. He led double life for
some years, in which he had been en-
gagged corrupting small boys for inn
moral purposes. Indictments are
along the line Of this confession, one
being for abduction and three for
sodomy. The c0se will come up this

LEAVES HAVANA.
The Court Of Inquiry Returns to
Key West.

The Court Of Inquiry Returns to
Key West.
Havana, March 1.-THE Mangrove,
with the court Of inquiry on board,
has sailed for Key West. Capt. Samp-
son, president Of the board, assured
the Associated Press correspondent
that the decision to leave Havana was
not reached until afternoon, after a
consultation Of the members. 1t was
decided that while further testimony
might be obtained here, this was not
sufficiently likely to justify longer
stay. The court can return If the
divers or wreckers make discoveries
that add to tho stock of knowledge
now gathered. The plans of the sub
merged wreck, in the preparation Of
which Ensign Powelson has had a
large share, are very elaborate, and
Capt. Sampson says the testimony and
records of the divers are very full.
The greater part of the investigation
that remains will consist. unless the
court returns here, Of a careful study
of the plans. The court has no
prophecy to make as to the further
duration Of its sittings or as to when
or where the findings will be pro-
mulgated. Capt. Sigsbee will prob
ably remain here with Lieut.. Com
mander Wainwright to superintend
the wrecking on behalf of the govern
ment. Chaplain Chadwick is expected
to remain to care for any bodies that
may be recovered. At least no orders
lave been received to the contrary.

matter might be safely left to an
American president and the American
people.
In the House.
No political questions were discussed
In the house. The whole session was
devoted strictly to the postoffice ap.
preparation bill. which was taken up
for amendment under the five-minute
rule. The questions which con-
sumed the major portion of the time
related to the allowance for clerk
hire at postoffices and to rural free de.
liverv. The house increased the al
l0wance for rural free delivery from
$15O,OOO to 100000 and defeated the
proposition for increased clerk hire.
Washington, March TO- The house
spent another day on the p0stoffice ap-
preparation bill but only disposed Of
two pnges Of the bill. Most of the day
was devoted to the debate on the mer-
Its of the pneumatic tube mail service
In New York, Boston and Philadel-
phia, and the advisability Of continu-
Ing the existing contract. An effort
to strike out the appropriation Of
$225,OO0 was defeated, but the op-
ponents of the appropriation succeeded
in securing the adoption of an amend
ment providing that no additional
contracts should be made. An amend
ment was adopted making it mis-
deneanor for any person to pad the
mails during the period when the
mails are being weighed to determine
the compensation to be paid to the
railroads for their transportation. The
amendment was recommended by the
department.
