Rosa TaibOts Murderer Pleads for
Communication of Sentence.

Samuel D. Truitt, attorney for William
II. Strather, the convicted murderer, un-
der sentence to be hanged on the 9TH of
May has filed an application for commu-
tation of sentence at the Department of
Justice, and the President will soon be
called upon to pass upon the application.
The petition for pardon is said to be nu-
merously signed The petition has been re-
ferred to the trial justice and the district
attorney for their opinions
The application is based on the testimony
presented at the last trial of Strather and
mainly upon the testimony of Strather
himself. The petition reciteS that the mur-
der was not cold bloodad and was commit
ted in fit of anger and without premedi-
tation. Strather, it is claimed. struck the
blow with the hatchet after Rosa Talbot
had struck him on the jaw.
1t is claimed that Strather took the
hatchet from the back yard to the room on
the morning of the murder for the purpose
of fixing the lock Of his bed room door.
The petition affirms that Rosa Talbot was
a GuarrelSome and dangerous woman, and
that all the testimony goes to corroborate
the claim of Strather that he had no idea
of killing the woman at the time he took
the hatchet into the house.

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening star.
NEW YORK. April 1o-The local mar
ket opened irregu!arly and failed TO take
any definite position during the subsequent
narrow trading If there was one charac-
teristic more pronounced than another. how
ever. ii was that of extreme caution and
m:strust of new ventures. When II is r,-
membered that the enormous interchange
of securities represented in last Fridays
liquidation became cash operations today
the dullness and conservatism are not sur
prisng
The accounts of brokers engaged in the
phenomenal trading in the industrial shares
have been changed so radically thai a
breathing spell will be essential to that de-
gree of acquaintanceship which warrants
new undertakings. Another factor Of i'm
portance was the government crop report
due at the close of today's business. Ru-
mors that the showing would be unfavor-
able were responsible for a sharp decline in
the Granger list during the early after
noon.
Atchison preferred was weak under this
influence, and while bought on scale-down
was not aggressively moved by the inside
interests. The selling throughout the grain
group was largely professional and few
significant lots We're reported in the selling.
The industrial department was sensitive
and moved about fractionally on either side
of the opening level.
There is an undertone Of confidence in the
better managed properties in this depart
ment, which Is remarkable in view OF re-
cent events. A fair number of shrewd oh
servers continue to predict a higher range
OF prices for certain OF the iron and steel
issues. Notwithstanding their lack of credit

From the standpoint Of the return there
can he no doubt of the superior attractive
ness of the preferred stocks of the larger
industrial corporations
Margin operations are being discouraged
in them, but there may come a time when
they will work their way into the miscal-
laneous collateral class without causing
alarm. The banks are already admitting
that recent discrimination, although con-
sderably exaggerated. has worked hard
ship in quarters in nowise contemplated in
the general criticism.
Good railway stocks are likely to be push
ed to the front for the present whenever
priced issues, which were suddenly dropped
some months ago for the novelty Of indus
trial speculation should now serve their
turn as a market stimulant. There has
been good buying of many of the preferred
shares and pools are known to be operating
in Missouri Pacific, SOut hern Pacific and
certain similar issues. The reversion to
this group would he entirely legitimate and
would undoubtedly put the market upon a

MIR. Hays Influence.
A POSSIBLE DEADLOCK.
The Samoan commissioners May Not
Be Able to Agree.

It begins to appear that the Commission
ers will not go out to Samoa equipped with
identical instructions. This is matter of
regret here, bu4 it is felt to be inevitable
if the parties to the pending negotiations
persist nitheir present attitude. In such
case the proceedings of the commission will
be all ad referendum; the body having lit
tie power ,itsel6 but all of it's acts being
subject to- the approval of the principals.
This was actually contemplated. so far as
concernedt any notifications of the terms
of the treaty Of Berlin. but it is not clear
how the Appearance of the commission at
Apia is going to- conduce to the restoration
Of peace II 1t Is not authorized, to act.
The German proposition is TO authorize
the commissioners to deal with the situation
as they find it, but under the limitation that
they must be unanimous in ordering action.
This it is feared, will negative all action,
for 1t is apprehended that on arriving at
Apia the commissioners will instantly take
their positions in support of their respective
consuls, and thus lead to a deadlock
To Restore the Status Quo.
The State Department has been notified
that the German government raises the
question of legality of all that has been
done at Apia since the middle of March.
This is an intmation that it wishes to re-
store the status at that date, when, accord
ing to the State Department records. the
provisional government erected through
the efforts of the German officials. Rose
and Raffel controlled everything, state
of affairs found by Admiral Kautz to be in
absolute violation of the Berlin treaty.
If there Is to be any attempt to revert
to preceding conditions the United States
government win insist that 1t be to a period
anterior to this date, and that the only
status to be recognized be that existing at
the beginning of February, at the moment
when Chief Justice Chambers. in the eXer-
cise as it is asserted. of his unquestioned
function under the treaty of passing upon
all questions as to the succession to the
throne of Samoa, declared Mataafa fneligi-
BILE and Malietoa Tanus to be king.
Not an Order, but n Reminder.
1t is said at the Navy Department that
the newspaper reports from Samoa are un-
doubtedly in error where they describe Ad-
miral Kautz as issuing peremptory orders
to the commander of the German cruiser
Fake. The officers are confident that he
did no such thing, but that he confined
himself to reminder to the German COM
mander of the perilous state of affairs at
Apia, in support of his suggestion that the
German vessel remain to aid in repressinS
the disorder.
If this assumption on the part of the
navy authorities is correct, then one of the
most irritating (to the Germans) features
of the whole affair at Apia disappears.

People in the West Support the
Administration.
CAPTAIN CLARK OF OREGON FAME
He Was One of the Callers on the
President.
o 7 H E r NJ A T L E r s

Representative Hopkins of Illinois, one of
the House leaders, arrived in Washington
this morning. and called on the President
Everything is in splendid shape in the
west, he said to Star reporter. "Our
people are all standing strongly behind the
administration, so much that they are
seriously asking some senators who the
people think have misrepresented the pop
ular feeling to resign. The administration
is everywhere popular. and the elections
this fall in Ohio and elsewhere will doubt
less again constitute another Endorsement
of it's policy.
Mr.. Hopkins is chairman of the House
census committee. When asked as to the
progress OF that work. he replied that il
was starting in solendidly, and that Gov.
Merriam was proving an admirable man for
the post.
Some of Today's Callers
President Mckinley had a busy morning
receiving callers, but no important mat
ters We're under discussion. Secretaries
Hay and Hitchcock, Senator's Caffery, Ell
kins, Carter, Hawley, McMiIlin and Bur
rows, Representatives Babcock. Prince
Hopkins and Alexander and Clifton r.
breckenridge, ex-ministar to Russia, were
some of those who saw and talked with
the President,
Secretaries Hay and Hitchcock were at
tending to departmental affairs. Mr.. Breck-
inridse was accompanied by his son. who
desires lieutenancy in the Marine Corps
having served in that body All of the
senators except Mr.. Carter were seeking
army appointments.
Senator Carter was accompa MED by Mai.
Anderson, editor of the Avant-C Courier of
Bozeman, Mont. They spoke to the Pres
ident about his projected trip to Yellow
stone Park and the west, and desired to
find out when he will start on the trip
The President said that If he was not pre-
vented he would like to leave Washington
some time IN July, probably about the 18th
As heretofore stated in The Star, the trip
will be the most extensive ever undertaken
by the President. 1t will cover practically
the entire country west of the Mississippi
river. The President will probably be gone
month. None of the details can be ar
ranged so far in advance and no attempt
will be made for some time to decide upon
the route.
Senator Hawley. who is chairman of the
military affairs committee of the Senate
says he does not expect the President to
call for the 5000 additional troops author
lied by Congress unless there is a change
in the situation. This is not appr ahended
by the War Department. and the senator
thinks 1t probable that the army will not
be increased beyond its present size.
Capt. Clark Presented.
Captain Charles E. Clark, who command
cruise around South America and during
the battle of July 3 off Santiago, called at
the Navy Department today and met with a
cordial welcome from all of the officials.
He has recovered his health and looked
well. Secretary Long accompanied HIM to

NEW RATIO OF % TO |

ENGLAND TAKES TIE INITIATIVE
Correspondence Between Secretary
Hay and Lord AIdenham.
FEARS OF THE OLD RATIO

LONDON, April 1O.-A book giving the
evidence obtained by the Indian currency
inquiry committee was published today. 1t
includes a letter from the United States
Secretary of State, Col. John Hay, to Lord
Aldenham, a director Of the Bank of Eng
land, dated November 25 last, saying:
1.-The Washington cabinet does not con-
slider 1t expedient for the United States to
reopen the bimetallism question at present,
in view of the character of the British min
istry's reply to the bimetallic commission in
1897
Col. Hay added that the cabinet was open
to consider the question of ratio.
Ratio of - to 1 Proposed.
Lord Aldenham suggested before the COM
mittee that negotiations be entered into
upon the part of Great Britain with the
United States with the view to come to ar
rangements for the reopening of the Indian
mints at the ratio of % to l, because he
thought there was possibility in the fu-
ture 'of the American government taking
the bit in it's teeth and re-enacting the old
ratio" Lord Aldenham quoted Col
Hays letter in support of his view that the
American government was disposed to
adopt the ratio of y to 1. He added:
"I talked with Col. Hay when he was
here ambassador, and he seemed favor
ably disposed to this ratio, but said: I am
an outgoing ambassador, and, of course
have no power
MIR. Hays Influence.
II pointed out that he would have con-
siderable influence when he got back to
America and assumed the secretaryship of
State, and 1 asked him to communicate
with me. He waited for some time after
he returned, / think Intentionally, until
after the congressional elections, and then
wrote the letter.
