George SaXton, brother-in-law of Presi-
dent Mckinley, will endeavor to prove
an alibi, according to Il story that has
just gained publicity. They claim to
have witness who will testify to
standing on the bridge near the scene
of the shooting, seeing SaXtOn ride past
on bicycle and a few minutes later
hearing the shots. The witness will also
testify that on hearing the shots he start
ed toward the city, which is in direc-
ton opposite to that of the scene of the
tragedy, and some distance away,
meeting Mrs. George walking toward
the scene of the shooting. He is ex-
pected to prove that she did not have

Washington, Feb l. -Agoncillo, the
representative of Aguinaldo, author
lied the following statement concern
ing a published report that the Govern
ment had intercepted dispatches from
him to Aguinaldo, in which he advised
that the Filipinos would have to fight
for their independence and that now
was the time to act: "The statement
is absolutely false, and is calculated to
excite feeling and animosity in this
country and to prejudice the Philippine
cause. No such telegram has ever been
sent by me- and for that reason no such
telegram could have been intercepted.
The falsity of the statement is shown
by the fact that have cabled my Gov
eminent to continue the same friend
ship which was born on the battlefield
against Spain. The Philippine people
have no wish and no purpose to fight
against the Americans unless they are
driven to it. Their only desire is to
strengthen the bonds now existing"

A most peculiar railroad is about to

They are on the Wupper river, eight
miles apart. The road is to run over
the stream, as indicated in the cut.
The cars, instead of riding on the rails,
hang from the latter, and the roadbed
is supported by slanting braces, and
not perpendicular pillars. Here and
here along the route the river is cross
ed by bridges, and these serve as sites
for stations. The road is high enough

guests have been turned away in great
numbers this week. Heavy patronage
is not unusual at this time of the year,
because of visiting commercial men.

remarkable percentage of investors
people who bring money in their poe
kets and want to plunge into finance.
Hotel safes have become deposit vaults
for more currency than they were ever

reputed to have collapsed Inder the
pressure. Telegraph operators are all
day in constant communication with

On Guard in Front of the
American Legation, and

LAND FROM THE BOSTON.
Danger of Revolutionary Outbreak
in Pekin and Other Cities
in China.

United States Governments, Like British,
German and Others, Apprehensive of
Attacks on "Foreign Devils"-Telegrams
of Inquiry Sent to Admiral Dewey
Marines Not Likely to He Withdrawn.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The Navy De-
partment has learned that eighteen
United States Marines are guarding
the Uuited States Legation in Pekin
and that twenty-seven marines are
guarding the United States Consulate
and American interests in Tien-Tsin.
While the Department has no def
mite information on the subject it sup
poses that these attachments were
landed from the Boston.
1t was supposed at the time the Bos-
ton went to Taku, at the mouth of the
Pei-Ho River, on which Pekin is sit
uated, that marines would be sent there.
Admiral Dewey had been granted au-
thority to direct the captain of the
Boston to send his marine detachment
to Pekin and other places if the Adj
miral believed it wise to do so.
AT that time, more than month ago,
there was great danger of a revolution
airy outbreak in Pekin, and this govern
ment like the British, German and
others, was apprehensive of attacks on
foreigners.
The Boston remained at the mouth
of the Pei Ho until several weeks ago
and then returned to Manila. The
gunboat Petrol, which had proceeded
up the Pei-Ho to Ten Tsin, was with
drawn also.
Admiral Dewey has never notified
the Department that United States
marines were left in Pekin, and the in
formation received came in a round
about unofficial way.
A telegram of inquiry was sent to
Admiral Dewey.
The marines will not be withdrawn
unless all danger of an insurrection
among the Chinese has passed away,

FRYE FOR EXPANSION.
Tells the Senate why He Changed His
Mine About the Philippines


Washington. Feb. 1.-Senator Frye,
one of the United States Peace Com
missioners, explained to the Senate
the reasons that induced him to agree
to the acquisition of the Philippines.
They were:
First-That Spanish authority in the
Philippines had been totally destroyed
since Dewey's victory on May l.
Second-That the inhabitants of the
Philippines being divided among them
selves, could not yet be entrusted with
the responsibilities OF the establishment
of an independent government
Third-That If it were permitted to
the natives to now attempt the forma-
tiou of an independent government
they would become the prey of grasp
ing foreign nations until there was
some strong hand to restrain outside
intrusion.
Fourth-That in the eyes of all civil
lied nations the United States had as
sumed certain duties and responsible
ties toward the islands when this coun-
try destroyed Spanish supremacy there.
Mr. Frye said when he left the United
States to go to Paris he was absolutely
opposed to the idea of the United States
retaining the Philippine Archipelago
as a possession.

PEACE TREATY VOTE FEB.6.
The Senate Committee De-
cideS to Limit the Time
For Debate.
ON MR.. DAVIS'S MOTION.
To Ask S2o,ooo,ooo Appropriation
to Garry Out Terms of
the Treaty.

Plans to Hasten Action-Members OF the
Committee say There is No Disposition
to Compromise by Amending the Con-
vsntion-Opposition Vote May Cause
Some Delay.
Washington, Feb. L.-After the
usual early routine proceedings the
Senate went into executive session to
consider the peace treaty.
In the fifty minutes that the Senate
was behind closed doors general in
terchange of views on the subject OF
fixing day for vote on the ratifica-
tion of the treaty followed the an
uouncement by Mr.. Davis of the con-
clusion reached by the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee that vote be taken
in ten days. Finally, when Mr.. Davis's
motion was submitted fixing Monday,
Feb. 6, at o'clock. as the time for
taking the vote, it was unanimously
agreed to.
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations discussed the status of the
peace treaty and the prospects for rati-
3ication and decided to push the debate
in secret session as rapidly as possible.
The committee authorized Chairman
Davis to offer an amendment to the
Sundry Civil bill appropriating $780,
900, 900 to carry out the terms Of the
treaty, which is to be available when
that convention is ratified. Mr.. Davis
later, during the session of the Senate,
gave notice of the amendment.
The committee agreed to accept the
offer of the opponents of the treaty for a
vote on its ratification after ten days
debate. 1t was stated by the members
of the committee that there was no dis
position among them to compromise by
amending the convention or to accom-
pany it with a declaration as to the dis
position of the Philippine Islands.
1t is admitted by the treaty advocates
that the opposition at present control a
sufficient number of votes to amend the
&reaty or defeat ratification, the only
question being whether or not they
would dare to cast the votes in the face
of the evident overW helming sentiment
Of the country for the legal ending of
the war and the inauguration of the
Administrations future policy in the
Philippines.

cipline." Having been found guilty
of the first charge, the Court, in ac-
cordance with article of war 81, had no
other alternative than to bring in a
sentence of dismissal.
When the Court adjourned the SEN
tence was not accompanied by any rec
ommendation for clemency, and it is
not now considered likely that any such
recommendation will be made when
the record is formally made. 1t is still
within the power of the President to
exercise clemency, and it is believed
by many officers that, in view of Cen
eral Eagan's mental condition, the
President may mitigate the sentence
of dismissal to one of suspension.
The Court took but forty-five min
ntes after the close of testimony and
arguments to make up their verdict
when they adjourned. They then went
to the White House to inform the
President that the trial had ended.

where now stand the towns of Whiting,
Colehour and East Chicago, and the
cities of South Chicago and Hammond,

Mr. Forsyth owned at one time Ii, DOC

Train Wreckers Were Fooled.

New Brunswick, n. j.. Feb. 1.-The
third attempt within three week to
wreck trains on the Camden and Am
boy branch of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, in the vicinity of Iamesburg, has
been discovered. Harvey Stonaller,
the railroad telegraph operator at
Helmetta, was walking along the track
toward Jamesburg when he found sev-
eral heavy ties placed on the track
welged in such u manner that had a
train struck them a wreck would have
inevitably been the result. Fortunate
ly the operator succeeded in getting
the obstruction off, but only a few min
utes before a heavy coal train, drawn
by mogul engine, came along.

Washington, Jan. 80. Thomas c..
Plat, of New York, made his maiden
speech in the Senate. 1t was directed
against Senator Vests anti-eXpansion
resolution. The fact that Mr.. Platt
has been three years in the Senate and
had never before made Il speech served
to draw one of the largest crowds of
the sessions. 1t was not expected that
the Senator from New York would es-
tablish new record for legislative elo-
quence, but the mere fact that he was
the controlling factor of the Republican
party in New York caused him to he
listened to with the strictest attention.
