WILL BE ARRESTED.

a Remarkable Case in Westc hester
County, New YOrk-A WSnian's
Alleged Vision.
NEW YORK, January 11.TDist. At
torney Andrews, of Westchester
ty, announced to-day thatAlfred Nor
rison will be arrested Tomorrow on
the charge of homicide in having
while, as alleged, in a somnabulistic
condition shot and Killed the woman
known as his wife. The shooting oc-
Cured about two weeks ago, in Nor
rison's home in Mt. Vernon, and ever
since that time Morrison has been un-
der close surveillance by the police.
Since the death of Mrs. Morrison IN
other woman has appeared, claiming
to be the wife of Morrison, to whom
she says she was married about IS
years ago. A curious feature of the
case is the attitude of the dead wo-
mans sister, Mrs. Ihlenburg, Of Mid
dletown, who a few days ago was
clamoring for the prosecution of Nor
rison for the murder of her sister. She
now declares that the spirit of the
dead appeared to her in her sleep and
pleaded with her not to push the
complaint against Morrison.

And the Wire TrGst Likely to Join
IssCeS over "a Wage Scale.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, January H.
Next Monday is the time set or the de-
cision of the American Steel q Wire
Company, commonly known as the
Wire Trust, on the scale OF wages pro
posed by the National Association of
Rod Mill Workers. There is lStle
doubt that the company will refuse to
sign a scale of any kind, especially as
it recently announced a general in
crease of ~ per cent in the wages Of
all employees. The rod mill men are
apparently determined to force the sign
ing of, the scale if possible, according
to the reports received from the differ
emit mills of the company by the vice
president, Thomas L. Lewis, of this
city. Mr.. Lewis and other national off,
GERS of the association are opposed to
a strike, but fear that there will soon
be one. The company has rod mills in
several cities.

tee.
WASHINGTON. January 11.-More
progress was made in the Senatorial
election investigation case OF Senator
Clark, of Montana, than on any previ-
Gus day of the sittings of the Senate
committee on privileges and elections
in this case. Mr.. Whitesides contin-
ued his testimony and three other wit
nesses, State Treasurer Collins, State
Senator w. A. Clark. of Madison
county, a namesake but not a relative
of the Senator: Fred W. Cowan. a
railroad conductor. residing at Mis-
soula, the home of Speaker Stiff of the
Montana House Of Representatives,
were heard
Mr.. Collins statement related entire
~ to the depositing of the $4,000 in
$1,000 bills turned over to the legisla-
tive investigating committee by Mr..
Whitesides. and by that committee de-
posted with the treasurer. Mr.. Collins
exhibited this money and the exhibit
ton attracted a large attendance Of
outsiders in the committee room.
Senator Clark's namesake detailed
the particulars Of his acceptance of.
$4,000 from Mr.. Welcome, said to be
one of Mr.. Clark's managers. on the
understanding that he was to vote for
Mr.. Clark for the Senate. The witness
said he had only accepted the money
for the purpose of exposing the pro-
ceeding.
Mr.. Cowan's connection with the pro-
ceedings were confined to a Visit TO
Helena at the request of Mr.. Bickford,
one of SeLaor CIark's friends. with
the hope that he could influence the
vote of Speaker Stiff. He said that
Mr.. Bickford had told him that Mr..
Clark would pay Stiff SIS, 900 to refrain
from voting. but that the proposition
was withdrawn and was never pre-
scented by him to Mr.. Stiff.

otfhe battle of Manila Submitted ,

Offhe Battle of Manila submif<ed to

X WASHINGTON, January Ire
spending to the Senate's resolution of
inquiry the Secretary of the Navy to-
day sent to the Senate a O p of Adj
miral Dewey's report from Hong
Kong, dated March 81, 1898, relative
to the capture of Manila. The text
of the report shows that 1t was made
in response tosa telegram of inquiry
from the Secretary and the Admiral
gives in detail the James of the avail
able vessels under his command and
also a list of SPANS vessels and other
means of defense at Manila. He stat
ed that his W squadron was in a
high state of efficiency.
Speaking of the Spanish forces he
said it numbered about Is, 900 soldiers
of all armc in all the islands of which
half are in the vicinity Of Manila. The
islands are now in a state of insurrec-
ton and my informants state that even
the Spanish soldiers who constitute
only a small part of the whole are dis
affected. Both ships and forts are in
need of ammunition"
To this statement he added the fol-
lowing: Il believe | am not oyerconfi-
len in stating that with the squadron
now under my command<the vessels
could be taken and the defenses at
Manila reduced in oas day. There is
every reason to believe that with Ma
Mia taken or even blockaded the rest
of the islands would fall either to the
insurgents or ourselves as they are
only held now through the support OF
the navy and are dependent upon Ma
Mia for supplies. Information has just
reached me that there are 5000 armed
rebels in camp near Manila, who are
willing to assist u.s."

Credited with Good Detective WORK
n the Cramblett Cases
srecial to the ReE.ster.s
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio, January IL.
The manner in which William Miller
and Milton Hall were handled in get
ting them here and extorting the story
of the disposal of the gun from them
before the grand jury in the CramDlett
murder case Is worth more than pass
ing notice because OF the skill and
shrewdness exercised. Much OF the
credit for turning up the gun and the
late testimony about a threat Il due to
that shrewdest Of all local vidocqs.
Slant McMasters. He Is a persistent
and t~ireless worker who can worm into
the condolences Of people like sliding
along an icy surface. Hall is said to be
a shrewd Virginian, but his talkative-
ness bellies this. Miller is a hunter and
trapper in that coon and fox hunting
neighborhood, and when he came to the
grand jury he bore with unmistakabls
traces of polecat. Both men. it is said,
were strutting about in their commua-
ity c%huckling over the fact that the
grand jury session was about ended and
they had not been summoned, when all
at once they were swooped down uponl
Ross Stone tool in Hall and brought
him in overland, while Slant McMas-
tiers brought Miller in by rail. Neither
one knew the other was brought here
and they were not allowed to get to-
gether to fix up matters, so after see
ing each other at a distance in h
court house, each was suspicious that
the other had told all. Before going
into the grand jury Hall asked If the
man he had talked enroute to the sale
had been summoned. but could not
find out, so he thought he was up
against it and told his story. Miller
was kept in the Sherif's house and
when first getting inside complained
of having a chill. The gas was lighted
and after a minute he complained OF
being burning hot and the window was
opened, while he remarked that he
thought he was taking typhoid fever.
One theory to-day is that Miller and
Hall were too fast in destroying the
gun and that what was wanted by the
Cramblett side was for them to come
in and tell all about it.
