THE RATE SITUATION.
Chica Missouri River Lines tt
Meet Northern Pacific Cut.

Chicago, March 15.-The Chicago
Missouri river lines have decided to
meet the SIS one-way rate made by the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
roads from st. Paul to north Pacific
points via the Missouri river gateways.
The through rate from Chicago via the
Missouri river to north Pacific coast
points will be $3.50 on second-class
business, the same as the rate from
Chicago via st. Paul. This action will
affect the rates to all Utah points, as
no higher rate can be charged to in
termediate than to through points.
The Atchison road has announced
that it will put into effect a second
class rate of $24.50 to California COM
mon points from Chicago, and $32.50
from the Missouri river The rates
will become effective March IS, and
will remain in effect until further no
tice.
The rates are made as an offset to

AMERICAN TOURISTS WRECKED
PLEASURE PARTY LOST IN THE
RED SEA.
Yacht Norma Picked Up BY a Brit
ish Vessel, But Lost Again-sail-
ing Around the World.

Washington, March 15.-United States
Consul Cunningham at Alden, Arabia,
reports to the state department that the
commander of H. M. S. Priesko had
picked UP, but lost again. a small
American yacht or schooner, after tow
ing her about 200 miles in the western
part of the Red sea. There was a rough
sea, and it was believed to be possible
that the yacht had gone aground some
where, as she was overdue. Her name
is unknown, but the officer said she had
aboard a man from New York named
Carver. The. consul, on Feb. %, re-
ceived a cablegram from one Percival
at Colombo, asking for news of the
yacht Norma.
New York, March 15-The American
yacht referred to in the dispatch from
Washington undoubtedly is the old rae
ing schooner Norma, designed by A.
Cary Smith in 1888 In October, 1896,
the Norma was fitted out for a cruise
around the world, her passengers hav-
ing the intention of writing up for
e.gn countries and protographing pic
lures of the sneneG Mr. Weaver, a
New Highlander, engineered the scheme,
purchased the schooner and had her put
in condition for the trip. Mr.. r. A.
Morris, Nova Scotian, was given
charge of the Norma, and sine sailed on
her long voyage on Nov. 2, 1896.
The party on board the Norma con-
sisted of Mrs G. c. Collins of Green's
boro n. c.; DR.. T. A WorreG of north
east Indiana; E. a. Granforth, jr., of
st. Louis, Mo; Harry P Tabor of Buff
falo, n. Y, and w. P. Newcom. The
Norma reached Fayal, Azores, about
March IS.

Ten Atlantic Freight Steamers Lost
In Recent Storms.
VESSELS LONG OVERDUE
PROPERTY LOSS TWO AND A
HALF MILLIONS.
Officers and Crew Numbered More
Than Three Hundred-Al of the
Vessels Sailed During the Latter
Part of January-Names of the
Steamers.

New York, March 15.-The Tribune
says: 1t is now practically certain that
ten freight steamers have been lost on
the Atlantic in recent storms. This in
wolves the sacrifice OF mere than 500
lives and $1,000, GOO Of course, there
yet remains a slim chance thai some OF
the crews may have been picked up by
sloW-going sailing vessels, bound for
far distant ports, or that one or two
of the missing ships may still be drift
ing, disabled, far from the usual lines
of ocean travel, but the probabilities
are heavily against that hope.
1t is said that about $4,000 has al
ready changed hands on the Maritime
Exchange through bets made on the
fate OF these luckless steamers, and the
rate of reinsurance on them for the lask
three weeks has stood at 80 guineas.
All perhaps went down in the fearful
hurricane of Feb. 2. Their names are:

Martha Place Will Be Electrocuted
at Sing Sing.
GOVERNOR WILL NOT ACT
WHY HE REFUSES TO COMMUTE
SENTENCE.
Declares the Woman Is Guilty of
Deliberate and Atrocious Murder
and There Is No Ground For Ex-
ecutive Clemency-No Question as
to Her Sanity.

Albany, n. Y, March Ex-Governor
Roosevelt has refused to commute the
sentence of Mrs. Martha Place, the
Brooklyn murderess, and she will be
electrocuted some day during next
week at Sing Sing prison.
= In his memorandum announcing the
decision, Governor Roosevelt says: mo
more painful case can come before a
governor than an appeal to arrest the
course of justice in order to save a
woman from capital punishment, when
that woman's guilt has been clearly
established and when there are no cir
cumStances whatever to mitigate the
crime. If there were any reasonable
doubt of the guilt; if there were any
basis whatsoever for interference with
the course of justice in this case, L
should SO interfere. But there is no
ground for interference. The accused
was condemned as guilty of murder in
the first degree, after full and fair
trial, although, as all men know, a jury
in such a case is always reluctant to
give a verdict against a woman if any
justification whatsoever exists for
Withholding it. This verdict was then
reviewed at great length by the court
of appeals, and was affirmed without
a dissenting voice, though this court
always Scrut1nlZeS with the most zeal
Gus care such a case, desiring that the
benefit OF every doubt shall be given
to the accused. / wrote to the district
attorney and to the judge who tried
the case, to learn whether they thought
there was any ground for executive
clemency. They both answered that
there was none whatever, and that the
case was one of peculiar outrage.
There is no question of the Woman's
guilt, and no question of her sanity.
All that remains is the question as to
whether l should be justified in inter-
fering to save a murderess, on the
ground of her sex, when no justifica-
ton would exist to interfere on behalf
of a murderer. The murder was one of
peculiar deliberation 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 circumstances, should capital pun
ishment be inflicted upon any murder
ess, even though the victim was herself
a woman, and even though that VIC
TINS torture preceded her death.
There is but one course open to me.

FATE OF ADMIRAL Y|LLAM|L
SANTIAGO OFFICIALS STICK TO
THEIR THEORY.
Believe That It Was His Skeleton
That Was Found On the Rocks
Certainly An Officer.

Santiago, March 15.-OWing to the re-
port from the United States that the
remains found by General Leonard
Wood the military governor, on Sun
day among the rocks on the shore,
about four miles west of FL MORO, and
by him identified as those OF the Span
ish admiral, Villamil, are not the re-
mains of that officer, the department
is endeavoring to ascertain beyond a
doubt whether General Woods identi-
lication was accurate. Thus far every
thing goes to show that, if not those
of Admiral Villamil, the remains are
undoubtedly those of some high officer
in the Spanish navy. The uniform
found is that of squadron commander.
The handkerchief bears the initials j.
W. and in the coat pocket was found
the fleet countersign for June IS, signed
by the late Captain Ovtedo Busta-
mente, Admiral Cervera's chief of
sta@.
For several months it had been ru-
mored here that Admiral Villamil s
body was lying in a chair in that Dart
of the island. Previous attempts to
discover the remains had failed. These
reports arose from the fact that
Spanish sailor who escaped from the
had said he helped to bring dying
officer ashore. There was also the tes-
timony of a Cuban boy, engaged at
present on boat at Cayo Smith, that
he gave water to a Spanish officer who
was tied in chair within few hours
after the battle. Lopez, the pilot, who
knew Admiral Villamil, says he is alb
solutely certain as to the identifica-
ton.
General Wood is also confident that
the remains are those of an officer COM
handing some ship, most probably the
Pluton owing to the immediate proXim-
ity of the wreck of that destroyer.
Captain Romero, formerly a Spanish
naval officer, says the rope that was
found tied about the chair is of British
manufacture, his argument being that
the Furore and Pluton, both of which
We're built in British yards, would be
fitted with such rope.
Senior Bas, proprietor of the Venus
cafe, who knew Admiral Villamil we'll,
says that shortly after the battle
Spanish sailor from the Pluton told him
he helped bring Admiral VillamiPs body
ashore, tied in a chair, under the di-
rection of some officer who was killed
almost Immediately after landing, and
that another sailor who helped was also
killed. Senior Bas' informant asserted
that he took the chair to a secluded
spot, then went in search of water but
failed to find the body on his return.
Senior Bas believes that the remains
are undoubtedly those of Admiral Viii
lamil.
