the proceedings tagged somewhat to-

The correspondent of the Associated
Press placed before one of the members
of the court the letter signed "Men-

tails of the filling of the Names tor

in question said that neither the let

mysterious missives from Havana pur-
porting to reveal the method by which
the Maine was blown up, but as there
are as many suggestions or theories as
there are letters, little reliance can be
placed upon any. The fleet has not
moved, though there are signs of ac-
tivity, which save rise to a rumor that
an important naval step was contem-

ALLEGED PLor no MURDER.
Report That's Woman Planned 10 Kuiyan
Ansonia Physician.

Ansonia, Conn, March 1.-The police
of this city have just been Informed of
plot to kill DR.. r. w. Pinney, q
wealthy young doctor of Derby, but
which happily failed on account of the
weakness of confederates before the
plan was put into execution. The prin-
cipal in the affair is alleged to be Mrs.
Maria Jones' a colored woman, who
had trouble with DR.. Pinney about
four years ago, over money matters in
which she was defeated in the courts.
and who has since repeatedly stated
that she would have revenge Though
DR.. Pinney has kept the matter secret
it has been learned that few weeks
ago two colored lads namel Fletcher
and Limeron came to Dr. Pinney to in
form him that Mrs. Jones had tried to
hire them to attack him when he called
at her house. One of the lads was to
receive $50 and the other $50 and as
stated by them all Mrs. Jones wished
them to do was to attack the doctor 50
as to stun him, and she would do the
rest The doctor visited the house pre-
pared to resist an attack if any should
be made, but on account of the weak
ening of the two fellows he was un-
harmed.
The resentment of the woman TO DIR.
Pinney is said to be due to the fact
that shortly after the death of DIR.
Charles H. Pinney, who was the father
of DR. r. w. Pinney, she came forward
with what purported to be the late
physicians receipt for S1,500 for small
house on Factory street, Ansonia, that
she lived in. The young doctor ques-
toned the genuineness of the signature
and the matter was taken into court
and bitterly contested. The court de-
creed that the signature was forgery
and the woman who had spent all the
money she had contesting the claim,
then vowed vengeance. She has con-
tinued to occupy the house as tenant
but since the failure of the alleged at
tempt on the doctors life, she has been
missing from her accumtomed haunts.

"Measure OF DIabolica, Intent"

Washington, March lin the senate
to-day a motion by Mr.. Hoar of
Massachusetts, to non-concur in the
house amendments to the bankruptcy
bill drew a speech from Mr. Stewart Of
Nevada, in which he vigorously de-
nounced the measure passed by the
house. He declared It was an atrocious
measure of diabolical intent and could
only result in grinding the poor debtor
the more deeply into the financial
mire. The Alaska homestead and rail-
way right Of way bill was under dis
cussion during the greater part of the
session. Mr.. RawIins of Utah, conclud-
ing his speech, began yesterday in op-
position to the measure. The resolu-
tion of Mr.. Bason of Georgia, providing
for a bronze tablet to be erected in the

MURDER OF POSTMASTERS
OUTRAGES ON NEGRO OFFICIALS
DISTURBS THE PRESIDENT.

The Two Recent Murders Discussed ut
Yesterdays Cabinet Meeting President
Finds 1t Difficult to Lay Down Any
Rigid Rule to Apply to All Cases-To In
quire Into Facts.
Washington, March 1.-The two out
RACES on republican postmasters in the
south were discussed at the cabinet
meeting to-day. The outrages occur
red at Lake City. S. c., and at Ada, Ga.
Freeman, the postmaster at the latter
place, was assassinated before he en-
tered on his duties as postmaster. The
president, it is said, is very much dis
turbed by these acts, though he views
with satisfaction the fact that the
whole southern press has expressed its
indignation. The first impulse Of the
officials in cases like those cited, it is
said, is to abolish the office where the
outrage occurred, although it is point
ed out that such step would deprive
a large number Of citizens, who had
nothing to do with the killing, Of their
postal facilities. The president, there
fore, finds it difficult to lay down any
rigid rule that could be applied in an
cases. The office at Lake City has
been abolished, but 80 far nothing has
been done regarding the case at Ada.
The latter presents some unusual fea-
lures. freeman had been appointed
postmaster, but not having assumed
his duties was not an officer Of the
government. Unofficial reports which
have reached the department are not
clear as to the precise cause for his
assassination. One is that he was kill
ed because he had been appointed and
another is that his death was the re-
| suit of quarrel. The department.,
however, will make an inquiry into the
facts.

Last Game a slugging Match.

The last game of the series between
Waterbury and the home team was
won by the former last evening. Wa
terbury was here to win and roughness
was the predominating feature, Will
liams seeming to outclass everybody in
this kind of play. E. Gavitt' was
forced to leave the floor in the first
period with broken skates and in the
last had to leave with his uniform
partly torn from him. In sporting
sense it could not be classed as a polo
game, but more in the nature of a slug
ging match. On former occasions the
Waterburys have played clean polo and
it seemed rather strange to see the
last game end as it did. The score was
6 to l in favor of Waterbury.

Washington, March 1.-The house to-
day entered upon the consideration of
the Loud bill relative to second class
mail matter. The bin is identical with
the bill passed at the last congress- but
Mr.. Loud, it's author, gave notice of an
amendment permitting the transmits
sion at pound rates of sample copies
up to 10 per cent. of the bona fide cir
culation of the newspaper periodical.
This amendment removes much opposi-
tion to the bill, Only three speeches
were delivered to-day. Mr.. Loud made
an exhaustive speech in it's favor,
claiming that the government practic-
ally paid a subsidy Of S4O,0O0,00O to the
proprietors of publications which now
get access to the mails at pound rates,
a sthe cost of transportating mail and
it's handling averaged eight cents per
pound. Mr.. Moon, dem. of Tennessee,
spoke in opposition TO the bill, and Mr..
Perkins, rep. of Connecticut in favor of
it. The debate will continue until
Thursday, when the vote will be taken

American cemetery at Jerusalem by

the action of Lord Salisbury in having
the pit in the English cemetery, in
which they were re-buried, opened in

English officer, resulted in the CHASTITY
discovery that all the bodies had been
broken up and packed in small wooden
