ROB THE POLICEMAN.
Thieves Bind and Gag Him and Take
All His Valuables.

Cleveland, o., April 3.-While shadow
ing a suspected robber late last night
Patrolman Fitzgerald was taken cap
tive by seven men in a house in an alley
at the north corner of Ontario and Sum
nit streets. Fitzgerald had followed the
suspect into the house. He was immed-
lately seized, overpowered, bound and
gagged by the thugs. After taking his
money, watch, billy" revolver and a
pair of handouts. the men left the po-
liceman to get free as best he could.
After an hour Fitzgerald succeeded in
severing his bonds with his teeth and
went to the central police station. The
men are supposed to be members of the
Lake Shore gang of freight car robbers.

City Takes Steps to Erect Mon
ument TO Col. Holiday.
Council Instructs Mayor to APP
point Committee.
SHOULD BE LIFE SIZE.
Plan to Have Full Length Fig
ure of TOpeka's Founder.
Santa Fe Also Interested in the
Project.

The city council has taken the initia-
tive in the matter of erecting a monu-
ment to the memory of the late Colonel
Holiday, founder and first mayor of
Topeka. Councilman Hughes intro
duced a resolution at the meeting of
the council last evening to provide for
a special committee to take steps with
this object in view. Colonel Hughes
resolution was as follows:
Resolved That the mayor appoint a.
special committee of three members of
the council to devise ways and means
to erect a statue or monument to the
founder of the city of Topeka and its
first mayor, the late Col. c. X. Holn-
day"
81 have no special plan of procedure
in mind" said Colonel Hughes after
wards. ''The idea was suggested to
me by the article in the State Journal
on the subject, and 1 believe the city
owes it to the memory of Colonel Hol-
hday to erect such a statue, either of
marble or brass. [ think it ought to be
a statue of Colonel Holiday himself.
My idea in securing the appointment
of the committee was that it might
find out the approximate cost of such
a statue, and devise a plan for raising
the necessary funds. The committee
should confer with the editor OF the
Journal. who first originated the idea
and others who might have sugges-
tions to make, and then report to the
] council. in order to get the matter
/ started"
1.-THE State Journal does not claim to
have been first in suggesting the monu-
nent ideal
Mayor Drew did not appoint the
committee last night, preferring tc
wait until after the election.
There will be- some good men fol
this purpose added to the council after
the election" he said, ''and I think
/ will wait and put one of them on this
committee The new members will be
sworn in Friday night, and I will ap-
| point the committee then"
Tie council cannot appropriate city
funds for the purpose of erecting {
monument to any individual, accord
ing TO the opinion of City Attorney
Bird. but its action in starting the
matter will doubtless give the move
ment impetus. It is probable that th'
Santa F'e railroad company would con
tribute largely to such a purpose, a:

WAR TAX WILL STAND.
Couldn't Be Changed Without
PrOlOnging the Session.

Washington, April 3-At the cabinet
meeting today a despatch was read from
General Otis, covering the operations of
the army in the Philippines for consid-
in the revenues by congress was discuss
ed. 1t is understood that the adminjs-
tration is in favor of a revision of the
war revenue act as to cut down the
receipts, but in view of the fact that to
make any move in that direction prob
ably would prOlOng the present session
of congress for many weeks, if not
months. it is thought by representative
Republicans that nothing on this line
would be advisable at this session.
The resignation of Assistant Secretary
of the Interior Davis was discussed and
it is understood the president will ac-
cept. the same through the secretary of

New York, April SIT seems that the
stock market is now broad enough to per
init irregularity without causing unrea-
soning disturbance in the general senti-
ment. Manipulation has become evident
in more than one direction, but it has not
yet reached the proportions dangerous to
dealings on a legitimate or logical basis.
The movement upward in the granger
stocks yesterday was a substantial offset
TO the declines brought about in some
Of the industrials by reason of the pc
culiar policy adopted by the managers of
the Federal Steel company. With respect
to dividends on the common stock of that
company, it would be unjust, however, to
condemn all industrials because of the de-
VelopmentS in one or more companies of
this nature. There is, however, a senti-
ment in Wall street, which is not favor
able to this class of properties. The dan
ger of speculation in them has been en-
phasized by the rise in Sugar, which fol-
lowed a public statement of the presi-
dent of the Sugar Trust, which simply
confirms assertions as to the Improbable
state of the Sugar trade which has been
made by independent Sugar refineries.
The disposition of the outsider is to dis
criminate carefully in the category of the

the constitution, to a people struggling

was a grave charge but maintained
that it was we'll founded and that the
course proposed was a tarnish upon the
fair fame of this country. He contended
that whatever might be said of the con-
stitution as a whole, there could be no
doubt since Porto Rico had been annex
ed of the application of its provisions
relating to duties, excises and imposts,
and these plainly prohibited the imposi-
tion of any duty on the commerce be-

New York. April S.-Foreign houses

for lower prices for Federal Steel. A. S.
& w. common, will pay its dividends a t
the rate OF per cent regularly. This
is a steel of more attractive lines. Buy
Mo. Pac. and So Pac and c. & O. There
is an immense short interest in Atchisons.
We look for Atchison pfd to sell at 90.
There is no reason why, in anticipation of
its paying a per cent dividend, this spe-
cialty should not have a good and sub
stantial advance. We know that Atchi-
son common will score an advance of
many points. J. ARTHUR JOSEPH

LONDON TIEV OF SITUATION. Little Satisfnction in the Latest News
 II Does Not Augur Well.

London, April 9, 4:2O a. m.--When it is borne in mind that all the dispatches from the front are severely censored there is little in to-day's news to bring satisfaction to England Assurances that nothing need be feared even if the railway and telegraph are cut and Bloemfontein is isolated together with the news that the ladies and other ci- williams are being ordered away, do not augur we'll There are rumors from Cape Town that the telegraphic wires were already cut yesterday Sunday and also that the Hussars who were sent to the relief of the Royal Irish Rifles are also missing, although prob ably these are the outcome of Boer eX- aggeratons designed to encourage the burghers.
 An attempt of General Colville to catch the Boer leaders in conference at Reitfontein failed probably, as usual, because of the lack of cavalry The results of these serious checks to the British arms is that the whole Free State is up again and that the Boers are full of activity over the entire field. belated Boer dispatch says that bayonets are being made for the for eign legion under the late General de Villebois Mareuil
 The Boers are boasting that the Colesberg and Stormberg commanders, numbering coco men, with ten cannon and 750 wagons, have gotten safely through, thus performing "magnif- cent strategic feat"

s1,ooo,oo WORTH OF STOCK LOST
Result of Great Fire tn a Pittsburg Department Store.

Pittsburg, Pa, April S.-A thorough inspection to-day of the Joseph Horne & Co., department store building, where the big fire occurred last night, does not materially change the estimates made at that time of loss and insur- ance From the top story of the struct- ure to the basement, the stock, valued at $1,000,000, is an almost total loss, either by fire or water and the building is damaged to the extent of at least $250,O00. Both stock and building were fully insured.
 Joseph Alexander, the insurance broker, estimates the total insurance at $150O000, placed in policies ranging from $5, 1000 to 5000 and almost every company in the country is represented. The building is in, bad shape, but the firm expects to resume business within ten or fifteen days
 The upper floors are wiped out and the rear half of the roof has fallen to the sixth floor. The firm to-day de- cided to start buyers out tomorrow for new supply of goods. Temporary of- fees will be opened. The vaults were uninjured and the firms records are in- tact. The firm employs many years, the majority of whom will be utilized dur ing the reconstruction period.
