four hours have kept the police of this
city buster than they have been for
many a day. The gravest case which
called for their services may result in
a triple murder. It occurred tonight in
a disreputable resort near Eleventh

companied by a colored friend from
Washington, name unknown, forced an
entrance While the women were sleep
ing and picked a quarrel over a trivial
matter, finally drawing a revolver and
firing three shots all of which took

M'KINLEY'S CHRISTMAS.
Listened to a Sermon On Peace and
God viii.

Washington, Dec. 25.-Christmas was
observed very quietly in Washington. The
weather was cool and bracing.
In the presidential circle the day was
very quiet one. The president and Mrs.
Mckinley have several friends from Ohio
stopping at the White House with them,
ana with a half dozen others, formerly
living in their native state. the Christ
evening, Secretary and Mrs. Gage and
Postmaster General and Mrs. Emory
Smith called and spent some time So
ciallY at the executive mansion. The
president ana Mrs. Mckinley took adj
vantage of the fine weather and went out
for a drive during the afternoon.
The president, accompanied by Mr..
James Barber. Mrs. McKinley's nephew,
attended divine services at the Metro
polltan church at II o'clock and listened
10 a sermon by the Rev. Dr.. Bristol who,
in the course of his talk, said:
This nation has presented to an op-
pressed people the unspeakable gift of
freedom; yes. and TO the world it has
given a longer liberty. Gods Christmas
gift of freedom has come TO the suffering
and Wronged through the agency of a
nation that was obedient to the heavenly
call and had caught the spirit OF liberty
ana helDfulneSS sent forth from angelic
lips. Good will toward men. 1t was not
hatred or i'll viii toward any nation that
caused our country to uRshe9the the sword
OF war. 1t was good will toward the SUI
fering and the oppressed that inspired
US to battle and victory.
Good viii has been established in our
own land, from north to south and from
east to west. The angels of our better
nature have been reconciling enemies, OBJ
literating the wounds and scars of war
and strife and making the stars of the
old flag of freedom 10 shine with new
luster, while every strife has been
cleansed from every stain. North and
south together sing at this Christmas day
as they have not sung since we were q
nation, the blessed song of peace and
good will"

FIGHT WITH HLGHWAYMEN.
Robber at Tacoma Fatally Wounded
and a Policeman Shot.

Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 26.-Policeman
Brown was wounded and an unknown
highwayman probably fatally shot in
a desperate duel between three masked
robbers, a policeman and saloonkeeper.
at midnight last night. The three
highwaymen burst open Peter Pepe's
saloon door at South Twelfth and K
streets, calling him to throw up his
hands. Without further warning the
men began firing at him. Pope seized
his revolver from a shelf and replied.
Patrolman Brown heard the shooting
and rushed to the scene. About dozen
shots were exchanged before an UNI
known robber was dropped with a bull
let through his chest. PatrolmaE
Brown was wounded in the chin. The
other two men ran out and disaD-
peared. Pope declares that as one of
them left the doo- he fired at him and
the man cried out as though he had
been shot. The police are securing the
vicinity for the two highwaymen. The
police hesitate between the belief that
the men intended to rob Pope and that
they intended simply to kill him to
satisfy some personal grievance. 1t is
more generally believed the men are
a part of the gang of highwaymen who
have been participating in the frequent
hold-ups which have occurred recently
The wounded highwayman is at the
Fanny Paddock hospital in a dying
condition and unable to- talk.

wEYLER TO THE FORE.
Discourses Upon the Need of Strong
Government.

London, Dec. 26-The Madrid CORES
pondent of the Standard says: Senior
Sagasta's illness has brought to a
standstill the political crisis and the
negotiations for the reorganization of
the Liberal party. Many Liberals are
opposed to General Weyler becoming
minister of war, because they fear he
viii aspire to succeed Sagasta as leader
of the party.
Ell Liberal publishes an interview
with Weyler, in the course of which he
is represented as declining to give any
information regarding the crisis, but as
insisting upon the necessity for a
strong government. Such a govern
ment could not, he said, be drawn from
q party led by Senior Silvela. General
Weyler limited that the country would
run great risks unless power were
placed in the hands of a Sagasta -Wey-
Ter coalition government.
The Bank of Spain has ceased to
make advances upon Philippine and
Cuban bonds, and has asked a supple
mental guarantee for previous adj
vances, owing to the decline in the
values of the bonds. The government
has arranged, with Madrid and BARGE
Iona bankers to advance the amount
needed for the service of those bonds
in January

out in their night robes. All took refuge
for a time in the British embassy, just
across the street, where they were car

daughters. Two maid servants were
overcome with fright and had to be
taken out. The governess, Signorina

ened and apprised of their danger. The
house was formerly occupied by Senior

Unreasonable, in view of the fact that
this area at the present rate of yield,
would produce nearly 100000 600 bush

100000 bushels. He assumes that the
present annual requirement for bread
is 1924 600, 600 bushels of wheat, while
the official and expert estimates for the
period since 1896 average more than
that figure. the compilation of such
estimates for seven years by the de-
partnlent of agriculture averaging

1T would be uncharitable to hope for

The Crookes view is a distinct encour-

fortunately, when exaggerated, tenn
porary rise of 10 per cent is followed as
the result of natural reaction, and from
the effect of increase of area, Stimu-

by a fall of 20 to 50 per, cent, as be-

people, that honesty is the best policy,
and truth in statistics cannot be safely

shops, to secure a temporary advantage

PRESBYTERIAN UNITY.
Tennessee Minister Urges ob1itera
ton of Sectional Lines.

Nashville, Tenn, Dec. 25.-Rev. DR..
]. I. Vance of the First Presbyterian
church, in his sermon today, urged the
wiping out of the terms North and
South" applied to the church, say
ing:
Il wonder if the time is not at hand
for the effacement of geographical
marks from the name of our beloved
Presbyterian church in America. She
should be the first to put into practice
the gospel she proclaimed. And yet, it
must be admitted that while Mason and
Dixon's line has disappeared from the
geography of citizenship, it survives in
the geography of the church. I speak
today for a Presbyterianism that shall
no more be marked North nor South
but whose territorial boundaries shall
be co-terminus with the uttermost linn
its of the republic, an American Presby-
terrain church"

Santiago de Cuba, Dec. 25.--Lieuten-
amt Colonel Henry Ray, who he'd re-
ported to General Wood, military gov
ernor OF the department, that Colonel
Francisco Valiente chief Of gendar-
merle, had been arming the insurgents
and that several bands of robbers were
operating in the neighborhood of Guam
tanamo, arrived here today He re-
peaJs his charges against Colonel Va
hente, declaring tnaL they are well
founded. lie ADMITS that Colonel Va
henre was the 1irst Cuban officer who
nomlnally disarmed his men, merely
requesting PERMISSION TO guard their
arms with squad of his own troops.
This request was granted by MAJOR
Harris, representing Lieutenapt Col
onel Ray at Sagua de Tanamo, Harris
even promising TO supply rations to the
guard. According to Colonel Ray, Va
lente, before starting for Santiago,
turned over to several Cuban captains
the 600 rifles that were stacked by his
men when they were disarmed. This
fact was only recently reported to Col
onel Ray.
The later, on arriving here, saw Col
onel Valiente and repeated his accusa-
uons. Valiente declared that he had
not armed the Cubans, but had merely
given the rifles into the charge Of the
various officers.
Colonel Ray claims that this explains
the existence Of the troubles with bands
of robbers who have infested. the dis
tricts around Guantanamo. In one
case, Cuban major went so far as to
order the proprietoTs OF . sugar estate
not to grind. Colonel Ray sent a COM
pany Of United States troops to guard
the estate, whereupon the Cuban ma
Jor took to the woods with a band of
men, Who have been ever since robbing
and pIllaging estates nearby.
As a result of this condition of

arms. Naliente replied that he had
the arms under guard and would keep
them safe until it was seen what the
United States troops would do. More
over, Colonel Ray insists that the Gu
ban police who were sent by Colonel
Nahente to capture the chief bandit,
were worthless and proved dishonest,
as they allowed the robbers TO sleep
undisturbed in the next house to the
one where they We're Quartered.
