HAD KILLED HIS CHILDREN
A Father Burns His House fO Conceal
 an AfrOciOuS Crime.

Hutchinson, Kas., March 20.-An atrociOus crime was revealed here to- day when the coroner removed the dead bodies of five little children from the house occupied by John Moore, which burned at an early hour. The in accordance with the jury's recom- mendation. Moore, the father of the dead children, was arrested on a charge of murder.
 When the firemen and neighbors reached the burning house, the father was the only member Of the family found outside. His actions were queer and he would not talk While the building was still burning and his children within burning, he took his horse from the stable and rode away. The coroner's autopsy held this after noon developed convincing evidence of an awful crime. The skull of each child was deeply indented ana all but ono of the children had been stabbed in the neck. The throat of the little three-year-old had been slashed so deep that the spinal column had been severed. It was upon these facts and the strange behavior of the father that the authorities base their charge of murder. Moore, seems to be sane, and outside of his actions during the fire there has been nothing to bear out the insanity theory.

NO ANNEXATION.
At Least Not Until the Republic of Cuba Asks for It
 Later On

Washington, March 2O.-It can be stated upon the highest authority that under no circumstances will the United States listen to any suggestion for the acquisition of Cuba as part of the United States. It is undoubtedly true a considerable number of the inhab- itants of the island would prefer an- neXation, but until republic shall have been established and it's legisla- ture shall have formally asked annex ation, no possible contingency can arise to induce the president to alban don the policy outlined in the Cuban resolutions last spring. It is believed at the state department that by the time congress meets in regular session next winter, plan for the future gov ernment of Hawaii Porto Rico and the Philippines will have been perfected, and that within a year complete ar engagements will be made for the estab- lishment of the republic of Cuba and the withdrawal of the United States from the island.

THE NEXT SENATE
Republicans Will Have a Clear ria-
 jorifY of Sixteen.

Washington, March 20.-As the sen
 ate nclw promises to stand when the rext session begins in December, 1899. the republicans will hold majority of 16 clean. Without counting as repub- licans Stewart and Jones of Nevada and Kyle of South Dakota, the repub- licans will have a majority slightly larger in a body of possibly only S6 members, than the republicans will have in the house of 357 members.
 The footing up shows today that there are 51 republicans safely chosen and that when the new senator from Florida is elected there will be 35 in the opposition, made up of democrats and men of other political faiths. Pennsylvania, it is believed, will not elect a senator Its legislature is to adjourn April 20 and the expectation is that Senator Quay will not have a chance to secure a reelection before another meeting of the legislature. The California legislature has ad- journed without electing a senator.
 The republicans have 51 senators and IllSuI nave HdU O4 DuI LOT 'Cu0 DSnlS III Pennsylvania, California and Della ware. But with 16 majority the repub- licans will have enough to enable them to reCrganize the senate, change the rules to permit a .cosure of debate if they SC desire, and carry out any pol icy Of the administration if it agrees with it.
 The senate has declared against the seating of senators appointed where state legislatures have neglected or re- fused to elect, so that neither Della ware, Utah nor California will be rep resented next December, and Pennsyl- vania is likely to be in the same fix There is no doubt there would have been general satisfaction among re- publican leaders if the Addicks fight in Delaware could have been terminated by the election of Senator Gray, who 1 has the confidence of republicans, has been helpful to the administration, and is regarded as representing the decent | people and aims of the country.

MRS. PLACE ELECTROCUTED
Pays inc Life PenaIty for inc Murder
 of Her Stepdauqhter.

Sing Sing, N. Y. March 20-Mrs Martha Place, the first woman to be executed in New York state since electrocution, as the death penalty was substituted for hanging, was electro cuted in the state prison at lilo o'clock this forenoon. In accordance with the instructions of Governor Roosevelt to Warden Sage, every effort was made to make the execution as quiet and as free from sensation as possible.
 Mrs. Place went calmly to the chair. She leaned on Warden Sage; arm. Two women attended her, one a prison attendant, the other, a physic- ian. Mrs. Place was calm beyond ex pectation- It was all over in mo- ment. Nothing was ever done at Sing Sing so rapidly be- fore. She was dressed in black, a suit that she made herself, a plain gown which was lifted quickly to the knee. She wore black stockings and low tan shoes. The electrode was fastened in a moment, another was placed over the thick, light hair just turning gray, a small circle of which had been clipped away. The straps were adjusted over her face and the pad over her forehead. Only her mouth was visible. In her hand Mrs. Place carried a prayer book, and when the shock came she gripped it tightly, while the other held fast to the chair handle. The woman's mouth merely closed, and the face grew trife livid.
 The first shock lasted four seconds, the voltage being 1,76O. It was then reduced to 200 for 56 seconds. A second shock was then given. Her heart ceased to beat within a minute.
 Mrs. Martha Place killed her step daughter, Ida Place, twenty-two years old, at their home in Brooklyn, Feb. ', 1898. There is no doubt that the murder had been planned by the wo- man. She killed her step-daughter when the girl was taking all afternoon nap, splitting her skull open with an axe and pour ing vitrol on her face and into her mouth. The same evening the woman lay in wait for her husOand, William w. Place, in a darkened hallway Of the house and when he entered she struck him in the face with the axe, lnhlcting serious wound. He man. aged to get outside the front door and alarm the neighbors.

QUANTITIES JUBILANT.
Two State Delegations to Next Con- vention Elected in the Interest
 of the Senator

Harrisburg, Pa, March 20.-The SUD- porters of Senator Quay in his fight for the United States senatorship are jubilant over the news from Union and Indiana counties that the state delega- tions had been elected in the interest of Quay after a stiff fight had been made on the Beaver man. They say that the reaction has set in and that from now on Quays hand will be shown in all Cf the county contests to such an extent that he will win, and his continued winning must eventually force the ati-Quay men to recognize him as the caucus nominee and vote for him for senator.
 The anti-Quay legislators say that Quay won in Union county because the anti-quay candidate had only two days in which to make a canvass, and that Quay could not lose Indiana county, as that is the home Of his chief lieutenant, State Chairman Elkin. They promise to go into every county and make the fight against Quay and they have only begun.
 The failure to elect senator in Del aware has set the more conservative factionists to thinking, and there nave

 At 11:45 3. m. a detachment of the Tenth cavalry, mounted and fully armed with 100 rounds of ammunition each, arrived at the Market place. City Marshal Joseph Bartholomew was swcrn in as an officer and under his direction the crowd was quickly dis persed
 The leader of the first crowd en- countered by the military undertook to talk instead of obeying orders to clear the way and was promptly knocked down with the butt end af carbine and so badly hurt that he deid within short time after being carried away. His followers took the hint and lapidiy fled. A Calling gun and an anbu- lance corps accompanied the cavalry and affairs took on a decidedly martai! appearance
 All places of business were closed and the placing of the Gatling gun 1n position to rake Matamoras street quickly cleared that thoroughfare from end to end. Platoons of troopers cir cul1ted through the disturbed district and scattered or drove out the crowds gathered on the cross streets, most of them taking refuge under the river bank, but offering no resistance.
