land b. Molineux for the murder of Mrs.

serted that he recognized the dead body
Of the poisoned woman, the witness was
turned over to Mr.. Weeks for eross-ex4
animation. Mr.. Weeks protested vigorous
ly against being compelled TO cross exam
inc MIR. Mcintyre at this time.
II was finally agreed that the cross ex-
animation Of Mr.. Mcintyre should be cost
poned for the day.
William j. Kinsley, the handwriting ex-

examination by Mr.. Weeks tn $ afternoon

The af ernoon proceed ngs we're enlivened
by a vigorous criticism by Recorder Gon

tiE Nt,OH Committee.
Washington, Dec. THE Special Com
mittee of the House appointed to investi-
gate the charges against Mr.. Roberts, the
Mormon representative from Utah, held its
first meeting to-day behind closed DOORS
The meeting was called for the purpose
of determining the method of procedure
in the case. 1t was held in the room of
the Committee on Elections No ], and
was presided over by the chairman, Mr.
Tayler of Ohio. All the other members Of
the committee were present.
Little progress was made al the meet
ing to-day, and an adjournment was taken
until tomorrow at 10 o'clock. Il has not
yet been formally decided whether Mr.
Roberts is to be allowed counsel, or wheth-
er the hearings will be open or private
The determination of the latter question.
1t is believed, will depend upon Mr. Rob
erts' wishes. Mr.. Roberts also will doubt
less be allowed counsel.
The question of whether the committee
will go to Utah to take testimony was also
raised, but it, too, was not decided at the
meeting to-day. Almost all the time was

AGUINALDO is MOST ELUSIVE.
THOUGHT TO BE MAKING HIS WAY
TO CAVITE PROVINCE.

That In His Home, and the Insur-
gents There Believe He Is Coming
With "a Large APmy--Imus and Bn-
coOr May he Attacked at Any
Time-AbOut 5000 Insurgents Near
Those TOwns-Operations In North
ern LuzOn.
Manila. Dec. THE expectation of
catching Aguinaldo in the north has been
practically abandoned, and the probability
now is that he will turn southwand, If he
is not already there, with his destination
Cavite province, his home. where the in
surrecton began, and where Il now has
the greatest strength.
The Filipino soldiers In that province
have recently been showing increased en-
thusiasm and boldness, and captured in
surgents say that Aguinatdo is coming to
join them with a large army.
The same belief prevails among the ma
tlves at Manila and elsewhere that Agul-
naldo intends TO make his headquarters in
Cavite province
There are about 5000 insurgents before
linus and Baooor, keeping the Americans
sleeping on their arms and nightly await
ing attack. The Fillpinos have several
cannon.
The first Mayor OF linus, under the
American regime, who ultimately deserted
is their leader in the assaults, and is am
bilious to take the town. Three soldiers
of the Fourth Infantry have deserted, and
are now with the enemy.
Most of the inhabitants of linus are so
strong in their sympathies with the insur-
gents that 1t is necessary to use a part Of
the regiment to patrol the street and 10
prevent shooting from houses whenever
an attack begins.
Chasing Insurgent Bands.
The Americans forces in the north have
separated into many small commands, and
are pursuing bands of Filipinos. Gen.
Macarthur is engaged in clearing the
mountain country west of the Manila
Dagupan Railroad. Gen. Grant is moving
from Angeles toward Subig with 400 men
Col Bell is sweeping south of Magatarem
Thus far the American commanders have
been unable 10 locate large bodies of in
surgents, although there were about 800
in San Clementine, nine miles south of
Magatarem, early in the week.
Col. Hood, with the Sixteenth Regiment
and cavalry, and Gen. Bawton, with a
force from San 1sdro, are operating
against Gen. Pillars army in the San Ma
teo valley.
Maj. Bachelor with a battalion of the
Twenty-fourth Infantry, is making a dar-
ing expedition. He aeft Bayombong, prov
ince of Nueva Vizcaya, a week ago TO
march through Cagayan valley to the
north coast of Luzon, intending to reach
Aparri at the mouth of the Cagayan river,
the most northern seaport of the island.
While no large forces are known to be
in his path, it may be that he has had
some fighting, although the friendliness of
the inhabitants Is counted upon to help
him. When he arrives at Aparri he will
find gunboat awaiting him.
The Spanish prisoners in the Benguet re-
gion are escaping from the Filpinos and
are docking into Vigan. Several hundred
are there already; and a steamer will go
to bring them to Manila.

FACTS IN THE CARTER CASE.
Resolution TO De Introduced In
House Calling for Them.

mouse Caliink TOT Anems
Washington, Dec. 7.-Representative De-
sraffenreid of Texas, has prepared a reso-
luton which he win introduce at the ear
liest possible moment, calling for al the
facts in the case of Capt. Carter
The resolution is directed to the secre-
tary of War and the Attorney General.
and in the usual form calls upon these
officials of the government 10 furnish, not
only the facts about Garter, but partieu-
larry those bearng upon the o.her people,
who, with Garter, formed The Atlantic
Contracting Company.
The particular purpose of the resolution
is TO ascert ain whether 1t Is true, as report
ed, that Messrs. Greene and Gayncr ana
their associates, have been given further
government contracts nee the Garter dis
closure.
The resolution is strictly non-political
and Mr.. Degraffenreid who from the first
has taken an active interest in the case,
believes it ought 10 be adopted without op-
position.
The Democratic members Of the House
seem disposed to press the matter in every
way possible, and il Is The balief that
Speaker Henderson will rec gnize the gem
tleman from Texas, although there are
strong Republican influences back of the
men at whom the resolution is aimed.

TAYLOR LIKELY TO GET 1T.
ELECTION CERTIFICATE ALMOST
SURE TO GO TO HIM.

Two Out of Three COmmissioners
Are in His FavOr-POwerfuI Pres
sure Has Been Brought to Beay
Upon Them-Friends of Both sides
Have Tried to Control the Board.
Unless One of Them Waivers. Tay-
Tor viii Get 1t Tomorrow.
Frankfort. KY, Dec. THE decision Of
The State Board OF Election Commissioners
covering the gubernstorial contest will be
handed down on Saturday morning.
The strong proba bility is that certificates
of election will be given to william s.
Taylor the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, and to the Republican candidates
for the other offices on the state ticket.
The vote will probably be two for the Re
publicans and one for the state Demo-
cratic ticket
1t was thought when the board ad-
journed at noon, after the conclusion of
Judge Hargis' argument that two of the
members of the board had practically de-
cided to vote for Taylor, and that they
wished to spend the time between the ad-
journment of court and the time set for
the reading of the opinion in preparing
syllabus of the decision they had decided
to render.
Pressure Brought to Bear.
The three members of the commission
have been placed in in a most unenviable
position. Their best friends, even their
relatives, have pleaded with them on both
sides of the question, some for Taylor.
some for Goebel. No matter which way
they decide the case, it means much TO
their friends.
The pressure against them has been
something stupendous, and il is only fair
to say that throughout the entire canvass
and during the one and one-half days of
argument they seemed actuated only by
the intention to do their duty as they un-
derstood it, and to render justice where
they consider it due.
There is no doubt the pressure brought
to bear on them so far will be continued
until they have handed down the certih-
cate of election on Saturday. 1t is posi-
BILE that one or the other of the two ma
jority members of the board may alter
his position and stand for Goebel, but It
is not considered likely, and the chances
are now that the conditions which prevail
tonight will endure to the end, and that
the certificates will be handed down 10
William S. Taylor and his colleagues on
Saturday.
May Get an Injunction.
1t is possible in case the decision is
given TO Taylor, that the Democrats may
secure an injunction restraining him from
taking his seat, and in this manner inau-
gurate the fight that win be carried into
the Legislature and fought out there to
the bitter end.
Some such steps has been considered, but
not definitely determined upon. 1t is be-
lieved the board in handing down its de-
cision, win say that while frauds and ir-
regularities were undoubtedly committed
in the election, the powers of the board
do not permit 1t TO go behind the returns.
Il is expected that upon this part of the
decision, granting 1t is made a Democratic
contest will be given ground to stand.
Neither of the candidates would talk about
the matter.

Shanghai. China, Nov 9.--There is a
radical change in the balance of power at

East that Russia would seize the oppor-

appalling fires that has ever visited this
city occurred to-day when the extensive
hosiery mill of Nolde & Horst Company
took fire. destroying The plant, causing the
death Of Miss Louisa Clay and injurlng
about sixty other employees of the COM
pany.
The hosiery building was a large four
story structure, and nearly GOO persons
were employed, most of them being wo>
men and glrfs. The fire was discovered
about II o'clock, and in a few moments the
girls were panic-stricken. They made a
dash for the fire escape and the stairs, but
found that the latter means Of escape
could not carry all of them down at the
same time
Several hundred Of the girls then made
a rush for the windows and appealed TO
those in the street to save them. Ladders
were brought into use, and many girls
were taken from the burning building
safely. Most of them however, jumped ana
were seriously injured.
For a few minutes from every window on
the second and third floors girls leaped
one after the other Some lodged in the
arms of those below but many struck
the ground They were picked up aud
rapidly removed TO hospitals or their
homes.
Many of the girls who escaped by the
stairways and fire escapes were badly
burned but none of them II Is believed
was seriously injured The fire Travelled
with great rapidly owing TO the lnhamma-
BILE stock in the building.
BY those who saw the progress of the
fire it is considered miraculous that there
was such a small loss of life. There ls
much criticism among the employees be-
cause of the fact that the screens IN the
windows, except those at the fire escapes,
were securely nailed to the window sills
The girls had to break the window screens
before they could get out TO leap to the
ground.
Some Of the employees say that the doors
were locked as a rule, after the employees
were in the building.
The fire was caused by the explosion Of
gasoline In the singeing room. II Is es-
tinated that the loss will be about s275,-
900, on which there is an insurance of $780, =
600.

WOOD TO SUCCEED brooke.
1t Is Settled That He VIII he the
Next Governor of Cuba.

Washington, Dec. 7-Gen. Leonard Wood
had conference with the Secretary of
War to-day respecting his future.
While neither of the principals had any
thing to say for publication as to the con-
clusions reached, 1t is gathered that Gen.
Wood is to be the next governor of Cuba
succeeding Gen. Brooke who will return
to the United States.
1t is expected that the military force in
Cuba can be greatly reduced in the near
futures, so that while Gen Wood, by com
manding the troops remaining, will be a
military governor, there will be so little
left of the military establishment that his
office will be much more civil than mill
tary, in fact. The reduction In force will
enable the war department to withdraw
some or perhaps all of The general officers
of the regulars now in Cuba.
