STARVATION HELD UP
As Possible Result of an Extensive
Railroad Strike.

Washington, Jan. 7.-E. A. Mosely,
secretary of the interstate commerce
commission, was a witness today be-
fore the federal industrial commission,
speaking on the transportation syllabus
of the industrial investigation. He
cited the difficulty in proving a black
listing system, explaining that many
railroads, after the Debs strike, had
freely given letters of recommendation
to former employees, but phrased them
so as to notify the sympathizing COM
panies that the recommended man had
been blackliSted.
He recommended legislation prohibit
ing the courts from attempting to en-
force personal performance of labor
contracts by mandatory process, citing
an instance from the Ann Arbor road
where Lennon, an engineer. had been
fined and imprisoned for refusing to
take out his locomotive after the court
had ordered him to return to work, the
judge having been transported in a
private car and issued his injunction in
the company's office.
He referred to the fact that the safe

A BLOW At BRYAN.
Croker Declares For Expansion
and Against 16 to 1.

New York, Jan. THE Journal and
Advertiser prints the following state
ment given out by Richard Croker:
1 believe in expansion; believe in
holding whatever possessions we have
gained by annexation, purchase or war
This policy is not only patriotic, but
1t is the only safe one to pursue Any
other policy would show weakness on
the part of the United States and in
wife foreign complications. This must
be avoided, hence our policy must be
vigorous.
Jefferson was an expansionist, other
wise he would not have favored the
acquisition of Louisiana, with its for
eign population, which, in Jefferson's
time, was quite as remote as the Phil
applnes. In this age of steam and cleo
trlclty. distance is no argument against
expansion.
SPEND MILLIONS ANNUALLY. e
I'VE spend millions annually for mis-
sionary work in foreign countries Now
we have a chance to spend this money
in our own possessions and make the
people of our own lands good, law abid-
ing citizens who in time will be loyaI
to our constitution and flag. Take Eng
land for example. The people of this
little isle come pretty near owning the
universe. Are not our people as intel
4igent, as powerful and as patriotic as
the English people? The United States
Is the only country on earth superior to
the English. Why not illustrate to the
world that we are fully able to cope
with greater problems than we have

PICKPOCKETIN THEHALLS
Attempts to Ply His Trade Among
the Kansas Legislators.

"A pickpocket was doing business, or
attempting to, at least, in the legisla-
tive halls of the state of Kansas yes
terday, but was expelled from the corri-
doris by Superintendent of Work R. H.
Eddy before he actually secured any
plumber, so far as is known.
The man has been hanging about the
corridors and galleries for several days,
particularly the ladies' gallery in the
house. Two days ago two ladies COM
planned to Mr.. Eddy that a man had at
tempted to pick their pockets while they
were sitting in the ladies' gallery
watching the proceedings of the house.
and he had actually got his hands on
the pocketbook of one of them. They
described him and Mr.. Eddy recognized
him as the man whom he had seen
hanging suspiciously about. Mr.. Eddy
watched him until yesterday and then
ordered him to leave the state house
and stay away, under penalty of being
arrested.

BETRAYS HUSBAND.
A Criminals Wife Fastens His Crimes
Upon Him.

Gouverneur, N. Y, Jan. Sheriff G..
A. Storris, of Utah county, Utah, left
here yesterday, accompanied by Mrs.
Jennie Wright. They are en- route to
Utah in an endeavor to clear up a MUIR
der mystery and to free. if possible, a
man from a life sentence. At the Peli-
can Point ranch, Utah, in 1895, three
young men were shot down one night
in their ranch house. The stepfather OF
one of the boys, named Haynes, had
had trouble with the men and was ar
rested, charged with the crime. The
bodies of the men were found sunk in
Utah Lake and the premises they had
occupied were looted. Haynes was con-
Victed on circumstantia1 evidence and
was sentenced to be hanged, but stay
was secured and the sentence commu-
ted to life Imprisonment.
A short time after the crime George
w. Wright left that locality and lived
in various parts of the west, finally
drifting to Fresh Water, Colorado. He
was a graduate of Kalamazoo law col
1ege. He soon become permanent, bear
ing the sobriquet king of Fresh Wa
ter" One morning man with whom
Wright was al outs was found shot to
pieces in his cabin. Wright assisted at
the coroner's inquest and wrote out the
verdict of murder by a person I'M
known" Later Wright became invoIv-
ed in a question: BILE sheep deal and af-
ter being arrested jumped his bail and
fed. He visited his wife at her parents
home here and then disappeared. After
de left the west evidence of a positive
character relating to the murder at
Fresh Water is said to have been found
against Wright, and after working on
the case for over a year Chief Harder
elected q confession from Mrs. Wright
to the effect that her husband had
goods which figured in the Pelican Point
murders.
The Utah authorities were commune
Gated with and found articles just where
she said.
Mrs. Wright said she was willing to
testify against her husband for the tri-
pie crime, providing he can be caught.
She says her lips have previously been
sealed through fear of him.

WILL BE A RIDER.
$2O,OOO,OOO for Spain to Be
Attached to a Regular APP
preparation Bill.

Washington, Jan. THE payment of
$40, 600 900 to Spain under the terms of
the peace treaty is beginning to receive
attention from members of the house
committee on appropriations and it is
likely that the amount will be carried
in one of the regular appropriation bills,
probably the sundry civil bill. Chair
man Cannon says, however, that the
question has not been formally con-
sidered yet, as there has been no estt-
mate submitted and no official informa-
ton on the requirements OF the case.
Moreover, there is no desire to antici-
pate action on the treaty and until 1t Is
ratified the house is hardly in position
to carry out this provision as to pay
ment. In the event of ratification, how
ever, speedy action will be necessary.
The treaty provides that the payment
shall be made within three months af-
ter the exchange of Publications and
another provision requires the exchange
of notifications within six months from
the date the treaty was signed, viz,
December 10 last. This would bring the
payment before the next session of con-
gress, so that the appropriation must be
made at the present session.
Owing to the short time elapsing after
the senate acts on the treaty and the
close of the present session, it is thought
that little time will remain to deal with
a matter of this magnitude. There has
been some talk of dealing with the pay
ment in special appropriation bill, but
this is not feasible as a special bill has
no privilege under the rules and is cas-
lily open to obstruction, whereas the
general appropriation bills carry I'M
usual privileges and are almost certain
to pass before the session ends. For
this reason it is probable that the pay
ment will be placed in the sundry civil
or some other general appropriation bill
If the provision is retained in the
treaty, as ratified.
The appropriation committee has not
determined what appropriation bill to
take up next. 1t will be either the sun
dry civil or the Fertilization bill. But
in any event action on the Spanish item
is likely to be deferred until action on
the treaty is secured.

WICKEDNESS OF AMERICA.
Hall Game Compares New York Vices
to Those of London.

AS for the wickedness of the big
American cities, Chicago and New York
it can only seem greater than anything
else in the world to those who do not
know the wickedness of their own cities
at home.
Our appalling stories of the ways of
foreign cities usually come from the
people who live the most humdrum
lives in London. The secret is a very
simple one-they are explorers only
when they are abroad. OF London they
know nothing, except the way by the
underground railway to a suburban
villa. In Soho, in Shoreditch, in West
minister, they might find scenes of vice
at least as awful as anything that
could be found in the Bowery. I have
seen the olives of New York, and have
witnessed the rag Dance but I have
also seen the bogus clubs of Soho and
looked upon the drunkenness of Eng
lish shop girls of 16 Residents of the
Bowery appear to think their own at
fractions pale by comparison with ours.
The Bowery boy who pioneered me
through the slums of Chinatown had

st. Louis, Jan. &c. w. Whitney,
connected with the late Commercial
Boxing club. who was arrested and con-
victed of breach of the law governing
boxing, has taken up with a new game
Mr.. Whitney is now engaged in pro-
noting bull fight. It will take place
in the Coliseum, SO alleges Mr.. Whitney
In connection with it he will conduct
what he is pleased to call a carnival
of sports common to Cubans, Ffhpinos
Ladrones, and other dago people over
whom the United States has recently
acquired sovereignty.
Mr.. Whitney has the bull fighter
ready. He is the real thing, just from
Mexico, dark skinned, coal eyed, curly
haired, active and powerful like bull
fighters the public reads about He
is brave as a lion and strong-WeLs
stronger than a bull.
Mr.. Whitney has not set his date for
his Carnival of All the Nations,
Houchee-Couchee Barred" but he says
it will take place very soon. Yesterday
he took his bull fighter along and went
over to the stock yards at East st.
Louis and took a 'gape" at the fat
stock show over there. There were
toros enough there, for the stockmen
are filling a contract for more embalm-
ed beef, and nothing embalms so we'll

enough, he was not the real, fiery Anda-

That stumped Mr.. Whitney. He knew

sword, banderiIlo or picador. He does
not fight bulls according to the ortho-
dox Spanish fashion.
No, Romolus is what is known in
Texas as a "bull-rastler." That is, he
wrestles bulls. He catches hold OF a
wild bull by the horns, gets a half
nelson on a mad bull, and puts both OF
the animals shoulders on the mat.
Romolus has been in town for some
days. He is an Italian, so he says.
Truly, he is apparently an immensely
strong fellow. About medium height,
he is muscular without fat, and as
broad as he is long, with tremendous
shoulders and arms. He says an or
binary bull is a picnic for him catch
aS-catch-can. The date of the fight will
be announced later.

seemed to be very much exercised over
the fact that there was some doubt a

of how he came to secure the gift.

my way quite clear to do it without get

contest was first started, my wife said
to me that she would like to invest a
quarter. So when I came to town the
next time, bought one ticket for her
and one for each member of the family
There were six tickets all told. And
then one night we drew each one of us
a ticket and placed the names on the
backs. The one which won the house
was held by my 12-year-old son. The
house will be a great help to me-
