Mr.. MOEN DENIES 1T,

No Removals Are Contemplated, But
Heads of Departments Are Going to N. Y
No authoritative confirmation of the
reported removal TO New York of the
business offices of the former Washburn
e. Moen plant could be secured yester-
day, although persistent rumors respect
ing removal have long been current
among office employees. Philip w. Moen
denies emphatically that any removal
of a department is contemplated
1t is an undoubted fact that numer-
Gus clerks and office employees have
been quietly sent to the New York Office
during the past few weeks 1t has peen
found more convenient to keep certain
accounts at the New York office, and
several clerks have requested to be as
signed to New York and in almost ev-
cry case the request has been granted.
The inference has been that all the
business department was to be moved
to New York. But Mr.. Moen, while he
admits the possibility of changing
around certain individuals, and trans
ferring certain accounts, has stated
that no department will be transferred.
c. B. Dana, clerk in the Grove
street factory, left for the New York
office last night, where he Will be per-
manently stationed. Others VINO 1t is
said, will follow, are Charles w. Bas-
sett. head of the insulation department,
and c. E. Terry of the fiat wire depart
ment. Should the change be made or
suggested In the New York dispatch,
100 to 1876 employees will be affected.
1t was authoritatively announced yes
terday that Washburn q Moen are soon
to open an independent steel plant at
Lake Quinsigamond. Several weeks ago
The Spy printed an interview with Mr..
| Moen, in which he stated that the one
| thing preventing the mills operating at
| full capacity was lack of raw material.
| Had it been possible to secure the raw
material needed by reason Of the extra
| ordinary activity IN the steel market
! the working force OF the two Worcester
| factories would long ago have been in
| creased by several hundred workmen.
Now steps are being taken to produce
| q greater amount of raw material. A
| plant employing $50 men and having a
daily capacity Of from 400 to 500 tons
of steel will be built and in operation
within three months.
| Fred Baackus, general superintend-
ent of the American Steel and Wire
company, spent the entire day yester-
day, in company with f. H. Daniels at
the Quinsigamond works, looking over
the site of the proposed factory, and
holding consultations with engineers,
and otherwise planning for it's con-
strl1ctlon. After the new addition to-
the plant is built and in full operation,
! fully 300 new names will be placed upon
the payroll in the two main factories.

Gypsy MOTH.
Great Fight Expected Over
Bill Today.

Boston. MarlI 15.-The famous o.
Dispar known at the state house as
the gypsy moth, was after his annual
appropriation today and caused ora
tory for and against his further exist
ence as a feeder at the state treasury
table.
The bill was fourth on the calendar
in the House, but owing to the debates
on other matters it was not reached
until after 4 o'clock. This means it
will go over until tomorrow as unfin-
ished business.
The bill appropriates S170OO0 to carry
on the work of determination of the
gypsy moth, and $4,000 for suppressing
the brown tail moth. The friends of
the appropriation claim the bill will
pass by a majority of 80 in the House
and viii easily pass the Senate Many
members of the House are all pinned
with arguments for and against the
bill, and battle royal is looked on.
Evidently there is a sentiment in the
House in favor of either a new fish
and game commissioner or the bracing
up of the present one, tor the members
stood by Mr.. Tolman Of Pittsfield in
his effort to have his bill for a new
commission substituted for the adverse
report of the committee. The commit
teemen made a strong fight against the
bill, but were defeated. Mr.. Tolman
now proposes to amend his bill by
making the commission consist of six
members, the chairman to receive $500
annually. He claims Endorsement from
sportsmen all over the state for his
hill

DRIVEN ON.
Rebels Again Routed by
Gen. Wheaton.

Manila, March 15.--The town of Pasig
has been captured after seven hours of
desperate fighting.
The American troops engaged COM
prised battalion of the Twentieth in
fantry, three companies Of the First
Washington infantry and two compa-
MES of the Second Oregon Infantry
with two guns of SCOTS battery of
the Sixth artillery. The insurgents lost
four hundred men in the fight.
The First Washington infantry com
manded by Colonel Whally, crossed the
river. clearing the insurgents out Of
Pateros and Taguig, occupying the
ground to the lake and capturing fifty
canoes loaded with supplies for the in
surgents. and $50 prisoners. The town
or Pateros was burned.
In the attack on Pasig and Pateros,
Gen Wheaton's flying column defeated
force of 1000 insurgents, inflicting a
heavy loss. The American loss was
slight. The United States troops cap
tured $50 prisoners.
Gen. Otis is highly pleased with Gen.
Wheatons operations. "The victory"

New York To Be the
Business Centre.
GENERALIZATION.
What the American Wire &
Steel Go. Will Do.

New York, March 15.--It is rumored
today that the American Steel & Wire
Company is soon to adopt a more pro-
nouncel system of Capitalization. As
far as practicable it intends to make
New York the business centre. With
that end in view, the clerks and heads
of business departments are to be re-
moved from their positions in the fac
tories of the companies incorporated in
the combination. and either discharged
or given positions in the New York
office
So far as 1t is understood, the plan
of the American Steel & Wire Company
is to centralize all business possible
here and retain only the Chicago and
San Francisco offices. The large bust
ness offices at Cleveland and Worces-
ter, Mass. will be among the first to
be abolished. In taking this action the
American Steel & Wire Company is
merely putting into operation one of its
far-reaching schemes of economy in
management. The yearly saving will
amount to several hundred thousand
dollars
The changes proposed in the COM
pany's large Worcester mills, formerly
the Washburn & Moen plant, provide
for the removal of the heads of the cost
and sales department, the insulated
wire department, the fiat wire depart
ment, the barbed wire department, the
purchasing agent and several other I'M
portant officials. These will probably
be given positions in the main office.

London, March 15.-Joseph H Choate,
United States ambassador to the court
Of st. James, made his first public
appearance In England at the banquet
of the Association of Chambers Of
Commerce of the United Kingdom,

Lord Charles Beresford, the president
Of the board of trade, the Ri Hon.
c. Ritchie, James p. Carter, second
secretary Of the United States embas-
sy, and many members Of parliament
Mr.. Choate's address was a notable ut
teTance. He concluded with these
significant words: Gentlemen. we are
almost one people. What l say is, let
our voices always be lifted together for
the cause of human progress and the
advance of civilization"

HE IS EIRM.
Roosevelt Will Not Interfere
With Mrs. Place.

Albany, March 15.-Gov. Roosevelt
has refused to commute the sentence of
Mrs. Martha Place, the Brooklyn muir
deress, and she will be electrocuted
some day during next week at Sing
Sing prison.
When the governor made known his
decision, he issued a memorandum, the
closing portion of it reading as follows:
There is thus no question of the wom-
ans guilt and no question of her sanity.
All. that remains is the question as to
whether | should be justified in inter-
terlng to save a murderess on the
ground Of her sex, when no justification
would exist to interfere on behalf of a
murderer
1.-The only case of capital punishment
which has occurred since the beginning
of my term was for wife murder, and /
refused to consider the appeals made to
me on behalf of the man who had killed
his wife, after l became convinced that
he had really done the deed and was
sane. In that case woman was killed
by a man; in this case woman was
killed by another woman The law
makes no distinction of sex in such a
crime.
This murder was one Of peculiar de-
liberation and atrocity. To interfere
with the course of the law in this case
could be justified only on the ground
that never hereafter, under any cir
cumstances, should capital punishment
be inflicted upon any murderess, even
though the victim was herself a wo-
man and even though the victims tor
ture preceded her death.
There is but one course open to me.
decline to interfere with the course of
the law"

SENSATIONAL.
Witness Says Maggots Were
in Canned Roast Beef.

Chicago, March 15.-The last witness
called before the army beef court of
inquiry today proved to be sensa-
tional
He was an officer of the regular ar
my, First Lieut.. F. M. Davis of the
First cavalry, called at the request of
Maj. Lee, the representative of Gen.
Miles
Lieut.. Davis testified that in Cuba
the canned roast beef issued to the sol
diers was thrown away because it was
unfit to eat. He testified that he had
opened one can himself and found
maggots in it.
Maj. Lee asked How did the mag
gots get in there?'
"They were canned in there" the
witness replied.
Col. Davis: Are you aware that il
the process of canning this meat I'M
dergoes such an intense heat that nc
animal could survive in it?'
IT don't mean to say they were alive
they were dead"
