BLANCHE WALSH WON $1,000.
The Fanny Da venpOrt Diamond Bracelet
Gave the Actress Luck at the
Roulette WhesI

Hot Springs, Ark, Jan. 27.-Before
leaving this city Blanche Walsh, the
actress, said Of her winning at roulette
in the Arkansaw club last week:
There were several gentlemen play
ing when we entered. Roulette seemed
so easy that several Of the party pro-
posed playing a few silver dollars. I
had only limited amount Of cash with
me. By the time I had lost it others Of
the party we're winners.
Il presume is was my WOmanly Obsti-
nancy and an inherent dislike to being
beaten that came to the fore. Anyhow
1 accepted the jeer Of one Of the party
to secure more checks on the Daven-
port diamond bracelet, and said would
take 500 worth. My luck from the
time the bracelet was mentioned was
unvarying and my pile of checks in
creased, gradually for a time, but to-
ward the last by jumps.
"The first check put down ION the
OO) won me astonishing odds, and the
gentlemen Of the party said that never
before did this number come so often
as it did during the two hours Of my
play. At the end Of my two hours play
I was 81, $50 richer. It was my first ven
ture at gambling, and was unpremedi-
tsted."
The Fanny Davenport diamond brace
let, valued at $4,000, is familiar to the
atre-gOers who have seen Blanche
Walsh's predecessor in ia TOsca."

IN A PITIABLE CONDITION.
Starvation and Scurvy Affected the Minds
Of Many OF the People In the
Copper River Valley.

Washington, Jan. 3O.-CaPt. ". R
AbercrOmbie, Second infantry, who
commanded the exploring expedition
IN Alaska last season, reports that he
found hundreds Of people that were
dying of starvation and scurvy in the
Copper river country. The stencil
was intOIerable and 20 per cent Of the
inmates Of the huts were mentally de-
ranged. This was common TO those
whom a fear Of scUrvy had driven over
the glacier, where 50 many had per
ished by freezing to death.

| placed under arrest more because he
was caught around the capitol build
ing when the shots were fired than
for any other apparent reason He
denies in the most positive manner
that he had any connection with the
shooting or knew anything about 1t.
Senator GOebel was wounded by
a rifle ball of small calibre, not over
IS, which struck him In the right
side just below the armpit. The ball
passed through the back part Of the
right lung, across the body on a di-
agOnal line, passing out below the
left shoulder blade
AS the shot was heard. Goebel gave
a quick, involuntary exclamation Of
pain and made an effort to draw his
revolver. His strength was unable
to the task, however, and he sank
upon the pavement. With great "a
pidity several more shots were fred,
the bullets all striking the brick
sidewalk close to where GOebel Law
None Of them touched him, however.
That the shooting of Mr. GoebeI
was the result of carefully-laid plan
is without question. The man who
did the work had evidently taken his
stand at the window which had previ-
Ously been raised in order to allow
the free passage OF the bullet, and
waited until his victim was in full
sight before firing. Ever since the
influx of mOuntaineers last week a
large number OF them have been
sleeping in upper part Of the state
house. It is not known, however,
that any Of these men did the work,
or that they had any knowledge of
the Premeditated crime. There has
not, so far, been discovered the slight
est direct evidence pointing to any
man and it is not likely now that any
viii ever be found. The republican
state officials and members Of leg
islature, without exception, denounced
the shooting in the most unmeasured
terms. Gov. Taylor imediately caused
a small address TO be published in
which he declared the affair to be a
disgrace and an outrage and calling
for the most sober condemnation.
GoebeI Declared Elected
Frankfort, KY, Jan. 31.-While VIII
liam GOebel lay at the point Of death
in his room as the result of an assas-
sins bullet, the contesting boards,
which for two weeks had been lis
tening to the evidence in his con-
test for the governors chair, declared
him entitled to the seat.

SENATOR'S WARM UP.
Gen JOzePh r HawIsy -ays SIR. Petit
CREWS Philippine Uttsrances Are Trea-
sOnabIs-Lettsr from Dewey.

Washington, Jan 31-When the
senate convened Wednesday Mr.. Petit
grew said he wished a statement made
by Aguinaldo printed as a document.
He said If il was not allowed he would
read the statement and thereby get
1t in the record. Mr.. Hayvley said
he would object to the reading as
reasonable. 1t is giving aid and
comfort to the enemy and that is
what the senator from South Dakota
is doing all the time said AIr. Haw-
ley.
Mr.. Lodge (Mass.) objected to the
AguinaldO statement because he said
1t was a mass of faIsehoOds He re-
scented the statement that informa-
ton was being held back. Mr. Lodge
also read a statement from Admiral
Dewey denying the statement Of
AgUinaldO and saying that he had
never received him with military
bonOrs, nor saIuted the Filipino flag,
nor promised the Filipinos independ-
ence in any way whatever.
Mr.. SPOOner thought it was about
time to draw the line upon this con
slant and daily suit Of AguinaIdO
against the United States. He said
that no statement OF a man in arms
against the United States should be
placed on the records of the senate.
Mr.. SpOOner made a touching allusiOn
to Gen. LawtOn and read a letter Of
the dead general who deprecated the
utterances of the anti-imperialists IN
America on account Of their effect in
the Philippines.
Mr. GaIlinger q. h said that 1t
was time the kind OF argument Of the
South DakOtan should ceasei in the sen
ate He said II was a question
whether we should believe the
charges of AguinaIdO or the state
ment of Admiral Dewey.
Mr.. Jones (Ark.) said he thought
that all the truth should be known
He thought a great mistake was made
in refusing to pass the resolutions of
inquiry. He also thought there
should be no objections to print
ing documents If they were true
they ought to be known; If false.
their untruthfulness would be shown
Mr.. Teller CCOl) said he doubted If
there was much profit In continuing
this kind of discussion. he said If We
had withdrawn from the Philippines
AguinaldO would not have been the
ruler but some European flag would
be flying there. The islands were
valuable and by some arrangement
European nations would have effected
an agreement by which they would
have held them
Mr.. Morgan (AIa.) offered a sub
stitute for the senate financial bill
providing that the fixed policy. Of the
United States Is to pay of the ma
tiOnal debt as rapidly as possible, that
the specie basis consisting Of gold or
silver or both. Is the only true basis
of bank bills: that IT Is unjust to
change the present financial system
