Mr. Plumb came out of the room perfect
ly cool, and said to her:
There's q man in trouble In there"
He then went down stairs and into the
reception room where later he was ar

Alexander Masterton was a leading res

a handsome home with his wife and two
daughters Mrs. C. B. Tibbals and Mrs.
w. N. Ferris. He was formerly connect

was interested in the Farmers Loan and
Trust company. He had the management
of many estates, and was interested heav-
lily in real estate. He had held a number
of public offices. He was a prominent
member of the Masonic fraternity and
was a popular manin Mt. Vernon.
j.. Neall Plumb at one time was very
wealthy, occupying fine residence on
Fifth avenue and having a half million
dollar villa at Islip. L. 1. It is said by
those VINO are intimately acquainted with
Plumb that he lost most Of his fortune,
although he had sufficient left to retire
from business twenty years ago. He is
also SAID by those who know him best to
be a popular, easy-going man.
A number of lawyers interested in the
legal proceedings of the Plumb -Masterton
case were greatly surprised TO. learn of
the murder. Lawyer David Mcclure, who
represented Masterton in the proceedings
in which the two men were involved, was
greatly surprised to hear of the shooting,
which, however, he did not wish to dis
cuss. He said, however, that he had al

first proceedings l might not have been
so much surprised
Mr. Thompson admitted that Plumb was
very bitter over the court proceedings,
and believed that he was the victim of a
conspiracy.

It's DisruptiOn.
ROME, May S.-The Italian ministry
has resigned.
Immediately after the opening of the
chamber Of deputies today Gen. Pelloux,
the premier and minister of the interior,
arose and addressed an attentive house.
He said that in consequence of Interpret
lations touching the Chinese question
the government had been led to consider
the gravity of the situation. The effect
of yesterdays debate showed a large
minority in the chamber of deputies
against the ministry's action in China,
which would be supported by only a
weak majority. Therefore. the prime
minister said. there could be no useful
result from further discussion.
The prime minister's statement was
greeted by loud murmurs from the Left
lists. Gen. Pelloux concluded by announc-
ing the resignation of the cabinet
1t is understood that the occupation of
San Nun bay, province Of Che-Kiang,
China, will take place Immediately, thus
making it un fait accompn for the in
coming premier.
This evening it is reported that Gen.
Penoux has already received an informal

GOVERNMENT SATISFIED.
Situation In Philippines Is Regarded
as improved.

WASHINGTON, May 3-Gen. Otis
made no mention in his report TO the war
department today of the progress of the
negotiations with the insurgents for the
cessation of hostilities, but that fact did
not abate the confidence of officials in
the ultimate success of the pending at
tempts to arrive at an understanding.
There is a belief at the war department
that the Filipino leaders are thoroughly
discouraged, and it is suspected that the
next step IN the peace negotiations will
be a wholesale effort on the part of In
dividual Filipinos in the insurgent ranks
to make terms for themselves, without
reference to others. Meanwhile there
may be some small engagements between
outposts, but nothing like general bat
tie is expected.
The reported junction effected between
the forces OF Lawton and Hale gives
great satisfaction to the officials here
They have been apprehensive over the
length of the line Of communication be-
tween Lawton and Manila, but with
short route open now to Malolos on the
railroad, there is no longer any reason
to fear that supplies can be cut off.

Effort of Chicago Insurance to
Shelve a Veteran Fire Chief.
CHICAGO, May 8.-Insurance men Of
Chicago will request Mayor Harrison not
to reappoint Dennis Sweeney chief of the
fire department. A few will call upon
the mayor and present what 1t believes
to be cogent reasons. for the retirement
of the veteran fire fighter. 1t is under
stood that the objections to Chief Swee-
ney's appointment are based on his ad-
vanced age, his consequent over-cautious-
ness, and alleged inability to serve the
city as actively as in past years.
Chief Sweeney is sixty-f1ve years old
and has been q fireman In the service of
Chicago since 1S49. His fame Is interna-
tional. He is probably the best known
of the worlds fire fighters.
Mayor Harrison is non-committal as to
whether he will replace Chief Sweeney
with new man.

WASHINGTON, May S.-(speciaL )-The
war department is in receipt Of cable dis
patches from Gen. Otis that are being
withheld from the public. That is the cur
rent rumor tonight. 1t is said that these
dispatches show that the backbone Of the
Philippine rebellion is finally broken, and
that Agutnaldo Is seeking the best terms
the Americans will make. It is the hope
of the Filipino dictator that he will be
enabled to shift responsibility for the sur
render upon the Filipino congress. If the
Americans shall persist in refusing to
grant an armistice, which it is said will
be the case, then Aguinaldo will yield
anyway, but he will first exhaust every
imaginable device to get out of his pres
ent predicament with as much honor as
he can.
. That there will be no recognition of the
Filipino congress by Gen. Otis is openly
stated here, semi-ofhcially. All that re-
mains is for Aguinaldo to surrender his
army Internationally, and this it is be-
lieved he will do within the next few
