RICHARDSON DIES.
Robert Smith Must Answer For
Murder in the First Degree.

Will Richardson, who was shot
Wednesday by Robert Smith, died this
morning about 4 o'clock at Stormont
hospital.
Coroner Hogeboom held an inquest
this morning at the undertaking rooms
of M. E. Stoker, and the jury decided
that Richardson "came to his death
from gunshot wounds caused by Rob-
ert Smith with malicious intent" A
postmortem examination showed that
the bullet had perforated the intestines
and liver.
The death of Richardson will result
in Smith being held for murder in the
first degree. Smith and Richardson,
two colored boys. quarreled Wednesday
afternoon and Smith drew a revolver
and shot Richardson twice 1t was
supposed from the first that the wounds
would result fatally. The Richardson
boy bore a good reputation, and the
colored people Were greatly excited.

HOPE FOR HORTON LAW.
Republicans Lack One Vote of th'
Number Necessary to Repeal It.

Albany, N Y, March "a canvass
of the members of the state senate
would indicate that, while 26 votes are
needed to pass Assem- blyInan Lewis
bill repeating the Horton boxing law,
but 25 votes can be secured in its fa-
vor. 1t would appear that but 25 Re
publicans will vote for the bill, and that
the other two Republicans, Senators
lCoggeshall and Willis would vote with
the Democrats against it. This would
result in a tie vote of 25 to 25.
This situation was brought about by
big Tim" Sullivan. The Republican
senators caucused yesterday afternoon,
and the questions considered were the
repeal of the Horton law and final ad-
journment. There was some opposition
to making the Horton repeal bill a par
ty measure. Senator Coggeshall offered
an amendment, suggested by the friends
of the Horton law, that the time for
the going into effect of the repeal bill
should be postponed until next January
first He argued that nearly all of the
clubs had renewed the leases of their
buildings for year from May 1, and
that the law would be too harsh if it
went into effect September 1.
AS soon as his amendment was de-
feated Senator CoggeShal1 bolted the
caucus. A resolution to make the ques-
-U9S 'p91dopB SBM 9InSB9u klIBd e uOIl
ator Willis then announced that he
would not abide by the decision of the
caucus. So TAR as could be ascertained
all of the Democrats will stand solidly
against the repeal bill.

GROWING DESPERATE
Advocates of Porto Rico Tariff
Ready to Make Further
Sacrifices.

Washington, March 23.-The Republi-
can caucus committee of the senate to-
day authorized Senator Foraker in
definite terms to propose the separation
of the tariff feature from the Porto
Rican governmental bill and to attempt
to pass the house tariff bill without
amendment. The programme is to vote
down all amendments if possible to do
so, and pass the bill as it came from
the house without any changes what
ever.
The element in the Republican ranks
of the senate favoring free trade with
Porto Rico decided at a conference to-
day to oppose any action looking to an
early vote and to ask for further time
in case the question should come up.
The caucus committee went over the
situation in detail, considering all the
points at issue. There were suggestions
as to the necessity of amending the bill
so as to suit the demands of the Repub-
ican free trade element but these were
considered as more than offset by the
situation in the house and the necessity
of maintaining the party tariff prin-
ciple
The opinion was strongly expressed
that any changes whatever in the house
bill would endanger its acceptance by
that body and in the end this fact con-
trolled the committees decision. There
was, however, a disposition manifested
to placate the free traders by making
various amendments to the govern
mental bill. The tariff advocates have
gone so far as to draft amendments to
that measure which are intended both
to correct administrative defects in the
house bill and also" to meet many of the
objections to the house tariff measures
One of these amendments looks to the
enlargement of the free trade list so as
to include most of the articles of export
in which the constituents of the free
trade senators are interested. There is
also a proposition looking to the entire
removal of the duty on articles from
the United States going into Porto Rico
The action of the committee was soon
made known to the free traders and it
Immediately became evident that they
A hurried conference was called in Sen
ator Proctor's committee room which
was attended by about ten senators.
These included not only the free traders
but others who have not yet taken a
decided position against all Porto Rico
tariff propositions. They did not enter
into any detailed discussion of the pro-
position of the steering committee but
contented themselves with q decision
to oppose any proposition looking to the
fixing of a time to vote on either the
house tariff bill or the senate govern
mental bill They were unanimously of
the opinion that delay meant gain for
their cause in the public good will and
in the senate. A canvaSS~Of the Re-
publican senators was made with the
result, it was stated, that Is could be
found who would oppose hasty action.
OF these it was stated that ten were
unalterably opposed to a tariff on our
commerce with Porto Rico. 1t was
stated explicitly that the proposition
made for vote next Wednesday by
Sneator Proctor on behalf Of the free
traders would not be renewed.

CONSPIRACY DENIED.
War Came Wholly Unexpected to
South African Dutch.

New York, March 23-sIn behalf of
President Steyn I want to make it
clear" said Philip Louter Vessels, the
Free States special envoy to America,
to a World reporter. that there was no
conspiracy between the TranSVaal the
Free State and the Cape Dutch against
England, as is intimated in a Cape
Town cable to tOdayS World"
The dispatch referred to was cabled
eS9Tn Calse4 Town and read: THE zeal
objective point of the Boer delegation.
M6SSrS. Fischer, Vessels and WOlmar-
ans-which recently left Delagoa Bay,
is Russia. / have it on the best auth
Orlty that those gentlemen took with
them all the secret discriminating dOcu-
ments from Pretoria thus making it
difficult for England to implicate Presi-
dent Steyn and the Afrigander bund
party in Cape Colony in a conspiracy
against Great Britain
The Mr.. Vessels interviewed by the
World reporter-a brother of Mr. Cor
nelius H. Vessels mentioned in the ca
BILE who is the president of the Free
State Volksraad (exchange)-fo
up his denial of the existence of a con-
splracy by saying: There never were
any documents discriminating President
Stepn and the Afrikander bund minis
try of Cape Colony. If there had been
any secret understanding the Colonial
Dutch would have prepared for war
and would have armed in time for a
movement against Britain simultan-
eously with the Transvaal and the Free
State. I was in the house of parliament
in Cape Colony when Premier Schreiner
made his speech urging all the mem
bers to influence their constituents to
remain neutral.
President Steyn believes that Sir
Alfred Miner was sent to South Africa
as British high commissioner by Mr..
Chamberlain purposely to crush the
Afrikanders, for Sir Alferd distinctly
told Mr.. MoltenO, a member of the Cape
parliament that England's s ultimate pur-
pose was to annihilate the AfrikanderS.
This I can prove. That policy was de-
termined upon when the Afrikander ele-
ment out voted the English party in
Cape Colony.
4 was at Bloemfontein during the
negotiations between the Free State
and Sir Alfred and I know what neither
the TransvaaI nor the Free State ex-
pected then that friendly relations be-
tween England that the republics would
be broken. We thought Mr.. Chamber
lain and Sir Alfred were bluffing the
Transvaal in connection with the Out
lander franchise.
1.-THE Orange Free State was totally
unprepared for war, and not until after
the Jameson raid did the Transvaal be-
gin to think of war in earnest.
Z met my brother Cornelius at Cape
Town four days before war was de-
clared and he told me even then that
he did not expect actual hostilities
There would have been no Warhadn'i
Sir Alfred Miner been sent to Africa
by Mr.. Chamberlain for the express
purpose of bringing it about, in pur-
spance of the English policy to wipe Out
the Afrikanders and grab everything
in sight

MORE COMMENTS.
An Expert view-What Editor Frank
H. Lancaster of New York Says.

1.-THE Newspaper Maker-A Newspaper
for Newspaper Editors, Publishers
and Advertisers, New York March 15.1
Sheldon's experiment is fairly under
way at Topeka, Kan. and from mon
etary view it is a decided success.
Many readers are likely to find very
much dry reading. The first number
contained a great deal of reading that
was decidedly on the tract order, as a
column and one-half story on prohibi-
ton work in Kansas. an appeal from
the Young Mems Christian Association
of Colorado for aid for consumptives
visiting that state. and lengthy ar
ticle criticiSing war and its methods.
The most inveterate enemy of Mr..
Sheldon will not charge him with SEN
sational journalism. He had no thea tri-
cal news, no prize fights, no scandals
and no records of beaStly crime.
F. P. MacLennan, editor of the To-
peka State Journal. in a published in
tervieW, in the sNeN~ York World, cred
it's Mr.. Sheldon with great sincerity,
earnestness of purpose and a commen-
dab1e anxiety to do good But, he
adds, that in his opinion, Mr.. Sheldon
is increasing his notoriety at the ex-
pense of his reputation
A careful survey of the first page
shows an entire absence of important
news of day. Not a line about bu-
bonic plague at San Francisco the
dreadful tenement house fire at New
ark, N j.; the wounding of eight Amer
lean soldiers in the Philippines, the ad-
vance of Roberts on the Orange Free
States, the discord of Republicans on
the Porto Rico question, the death of
the italian boxer, Guydo, who died as
the result of a blow struck by James

DR.. Minney introduced Governor W.
E. Stanley, the orator of the evening,
as one of the 'beSt governors of one of
the best states in the Union" Governor
Stanley accepted the compliment with
a modest smile, and in the fifteen min
utes he remained in a standing posture
before the audience mixed humor,
patriotism and religioninto an interest
ing and entertaining informal talk. The
chief executive opened with humor-
Gus story and closed with a verse from
the Scripture, drawing out much en-
thusasm at a central point by referring
to the stars and stripes which formed
the decorations of the theater.
The faculty address of DR.. B. D. East
man followed that of Governor Stanley,
and in turn was followed by Joseph
Cook Shaw, the valedictorian of the
class. One of the features of DR.. East
mans address was the witty pointed
manner in which he paid his compli-
ments to charlatanry in medicine. In
impreSSing the graduates with the i'm
portance of their duties as physicians
he said:

Gompers of the federation of labor; c.
S. Darrow Of Chicago and others identi-
fed with organized labor appeared to-
day before the judiciary committee of
the house in advocacy of the bill re-
stricting the issuance of injunctions in
time of labor disturbances. Mr.. Dar-
row stated that the working people con-
sidered this resort to injunction a flag
rant infringement of their rights, which
had grown TO an alarming extent of
late. Commencing with the great Chi
cago strike, he said, when Debs was ar
rested, down to the present time the
first act in the case of a strike was to
rush to the courts for an injunction.
He cited the Debs case as typical and
related how a blanket Injunction was
issued against a large number of those
connected with the American Railway
union
Mr.. Gompers urged that the labor in
