Eighteen Thousand Men in Line
Charges to BE Investigated.

Eighteen Thousand Men in Line
Charges to BE Investigated.
The most important feature of the Pyth-
ian Encampment program at Indianapolis
yesterday was the big parade, participated
in by all the Uniform Rank and subordi-
nate lodges. Careful estimates place the
number of men in line at $4,000, of which
10000 were members of the Uniform Rank,
led by Maj. Gen. Carnahan. Gov. Mount
rode a horse in the parade. The weather
was intensely hot and several hundred were
forced at different times to leave the pa
rade.
The great body of men began to move
from Camp Colgrove at 2:30 reaching the
reviewing stand at the court house, on
Washington street, at $3.50. 1t required two
hours for the parade, about twenty-five
men abreast, to pass given point
At the court house the Pythian army was
reviewed by Supreme Chancellor Colgrove.
Next to the parade the most important
event was the meeting of the Supreme
Lodge in the house of representatives at 0
Keeper Of Records and Seals r. l.. c. White
asked for hearing on the ground of per-
sonal privilege. He said that the officers
of the Supreme Lodge had been attacked
and the charges made against them should
be Investigated. If these charges were true
then the men were not fit for their positions.
If the charges were not true the man or
men who made them were not fit to be
Pythians or members of the Supreme
Lodge.
Mr.. White was followed by Thomas L.
Sears, master of the exchequer; Represent
ative Fears of Wisconsin and Representa-
tive Burns of Ohio, the last two members
of the executive committee of the Supreme
Lodge. The following members were ap-
pointed to investigate the charges: Repre-
sentative Gale Of Massachusetts, Bangs of
North Dakota, Watson of Indiana, Daniels
of Idaho and Richardson of Virginia
During the business session the reports
of the officers were distributed

sion on account of the parade. The Su-
preme Tribunal began its sessions, and will

So far as the proposed treaty will af-

trical appliances of all kinds and va

Spain. American petroleum and cotton
are the principal imports in Spain, but
1t is not probable that duties will be re-
duced on these articles. They enjoy a
monopoly in the Spanish market. They

nue. producing articles. 1t is said that

In making said details, the president

1t thus appears that the president has
power to assign any retired officer of
the navy to duty during the progress of
war, but that he can only assign him
to the command of squadrons or ships
by and with the advice and consent of
the senate. There are many officers on
the retired list in the full enjoyment of

fact that they are over 62 years of age,
whose ability and experience would un-

A WORKING GIRLS CLUB.
A New Organization to Be Formed at v.
w. c. A. Tuesday evening.

An important meeting of an informal
nature was held in the parlors of the Y.
W. C. A. Friday evening, twelve working
girls assembling in response to an invita-
ton by Rev. Dr. Eldridge Mix and Miss
Witherspoon of the Associated Charities.
for the purpose of organizing club OF
working girls. The plans and purpose OF
the meeting were fully discussed. and
establishing a club among the girls who
work in the stores, mills and shops was
received with marked favor. The general
effort is to secure the social intercourse
which would be found in a Christian
home. and meet together for the mental.
physical, spiritual and moral elevation and
Improvement of themselves. The hope is
to embrace all the working girls OF the
city. so that the club may be broadened
in it's scope and become in time one of tho
most effective societies in the city for the
protection and advancement Of the thou
sands of young girls and women who work
for their own living, whether behind the
officers Of the club. as planned. will be
elected by the girls themselves from
among themselves, and their own counsel
will prevail in the direction and guidance
of their club work. To further plan a
meeting has been called for next Tuesday
Chatham street. when permanent or
ganization will be effected. Rev. Dr. Mix
and Miss Witherspoon, who spoke inter
estingly and most encouragingly of the
scheme last night hope for a large and
enthusiastic attendance. and to this end
all working girls in the city, whether In
one department of work or another re-
are invited to be present. The meeting will

district, particularly at Barcelona, man.
, moth cotton factories are building.
Senior Polo has stated that Americans
would be surprised to know that the
output of Spanish manufactured cot
tons was now nearing, if not exceeding
the output in the United States.
In the concessions which Spain hopes
to secure in the United States, it is un-
derstood that fruits will figure largely.
The arrangement with Cuba will depend
largely on the wishes of the Cuban del
egates
Heretofore Spain has insisted on GER
tain preferential duties. by which, in
the case of flour, she supplied flour to
the entire Cuban market. Spain now
recognizes the hardship of compelling
Cubans to go across the ocean for their
supplies of flour The proposed treaties
will do away with the Spanish prefer
entail rate on -four and will leave the
United States and Cuba to effect an ar
rangement by which this country will
hereafter supply the Cubans with this
first necessity of life. How far the I'm
tied States can grant reciprocal con-
cessions will depend upon the meetings
with Commissioner Kasson.
Senor Polo was formally received in
his official capacity by Secretary Sher-
man and Assistant Secretary Day at
the state department at II O'clock this
morning. He was accompanied by Senor
Du Bose, who has had charge of the
Spanish legation since the departure of
Senior Dupuy De LONE, and was by him
introduced to the secretary and assist
ant secretary of state. The two gentle-
mems visit was comparatively brief, and
the conversation was purely perfume
tory; being devoted almost entirely to
the consideration of the arrangements
for the minister's formal call upon the
president for the presentation of his
credentials This ceremony would have
been observed today, but for the fact
that the president was engaged with his
cabinet at the time usually allotted to
such functions. 1t was, therefore, ar
ranged that Minister Polo should be
given an audience by the president at
the White House tomorrow at II o'clock.
In view of the strained relations ex-
listing between the United States and
Spain, more than usual interest at
taches to the addresses which will be
exchanged between the chief executive
and the Spanish minister ON this occas-
| ion. These addresses will be prepared
with unusual care.

A MUELLER SUSPECT.
A Private Detective Makes an Arrest in
Montreal

MO0ITeat,
The following dispatch to the Spy from
Montreal, late Friday night, tells the story
of the arrest of a man in that city who
was thought to be the Brookfield muir
derer, as stated in Friday mornings Spy
A man who gives the name of George
Stonefeld, who Is supposed to be Paul
Mueller, the murderer of the Newton fam
lily at Brookfeld, Mass, was arrested late
this afternoon by Detective Murphy, who
is connected with an American private
detective agency, and High Constable
Bisonnette. Stonefield protested his inno-
cence, but was lodged in Jail.
Detective Murphy left for Worcester
Friday afternoon to secure some one to
identify the man. From what can be
learned, Murphy traced the man to
Springfield from there to New York, and
learned his man was in Montreal, and
came to this city for him.
Murphy applied for a warrant for the
mans arrest about o'clock Friday after
noon and arrested him. Stonefield was at
work for Samuel Harris, a well known
livery man and auctioneer of this city at
the time, and the arrest created quite a
sensation when the officers walked into
the midst of the crowd on st. Peters S
street where a sale of bankrupt stock was
being held.
sHThe prisoner was taken to the private
office of the high constable in the court
house, where an attempt was made to get
at his whereabouts at the IlIne OIL Tie
murder. The prisoner refused to talk,
however. till he had seen lawyer
''The high constable says the man
answers the description of the murderer
in every detail. The examination was con-
Quoted with the utmost secrecy and lasted
over an hour. No one was allowed to see
him. and when the examination was over
the man was taken to jail.
Later the following Associated Press dis
patch was received from Montreal:
IAN American private detective agency
has had an officer here for some time
looking for men suspected of the triple
murder which occurred in Brookfield,
Mass last January. Today this private
detective caused the arrest of George
Stonefield an employee of a local livery
stable, charging him with being impli-
Gated in the crime. 1t took Stoneheld but
a few minutes to prove that he was at
work in Montreal when the murder had
taken place. He was able to prove a
complete alibi. Stonefeld will appear in
the police court tomorrow, and will be re-
leased, the. local police having suostan-
tiated his story"
State Detective P F. Murray of this
city received a dispatch from Superintend-
ent Carpenter of the Montreal detective
bureau at II As Friday night, which stated
that the man arrested Friday afternoon on
a warrant sworn out by Detective Murphy,
was not the man wanted.
Who Detective Murphy is no one seems
to know. The supposition is, however,
that he is in the employ of some private
agency, who are working for the reward
offered.

HOUSE IN AN uPRoAR.
It Was Caused BY Filibustering on Bow
man Act Claims.

Washington, March 1.-THE bill to
pay the Bowman act claims, aggregating
81, 200, 900 orstores and supplies furnished
the Union army during the war, was
before the house until o'clock today,
but beyond completing the general de-
bate, little progress was made, OF the
800 odd claims in the bill, all but a few
come from the south, and dilatory tao
tics were resorted to to prevent progress
with the bill. During the filibustering
the house was in an uproar. At o'clock
after completing two pages of the bill
the house recessed until 8 O'Clock for an
evening session to be devoted to pen
sion legislation. After the evening ses-
sion, the house adjourned until Mon
day.
Mr.. Walker of Massachusetts was a
warm supporter of the bill to pay the
Bowman act claims today. He said the
government should pay its honest
debts. and he was tired of seeing certain
members filibustering every Friday
against the honest obligations of
the government.
