CUDAHY KIDNAPPING CASE
HOUSE USED As PRISON LOCATED
Blythe Police.
The Place Admirably Chosen by the
Bandits-YOung Cudahy Taken There
and RecOgnizess Some of the Surround
ings-Omaha National Bank Confirms
statement That $25, 900 in Gold Was
Drawn to Fay Ransom.

| Omaha, Neb., Dec. 21.-The result or
twenty -four hours work on the part of
the police of the city and half hum
dred detectives has established the To-
cation of the house in which Edward
Cudahy, jr., was held a prisoner for
nearly two days. The house is located
four miles from the city and in place
of easy access but so situated as to al
low the desperadoes ample opportunity
to lay and carry out their plans with
out molestation from inquiring neigh
bors. Within easy communication by
rail and wagon roads to Omaha and
South Omaha and on a high knoll where
sentinels could give immediate alarm in
case of necessity, the one and half
story shack was admirably chosen by
the bandits. No doubt exists in the
minds of the police as to the identity
Of the place. Young Cudahy himself
was taken to the house and identified
many features which he had recognized
while a prisoner.
Beyond locating the house in which
they were located prior to the kidnap-
ping, the police have made no progress
looking to a capture of any of the out
laws.
This afternoon an official of the
Omaha National bank confirmed Mr..
Cudahy's statement that he had with
drawn from that institution the $4,000
in gold with which the latter states he
paid the ransom to secure his son.
The reward offered by Mr.. Cudahy
has caused those working on the case
to redouble their efforts and Chief

Washington, Dec. H.-Edward A
Cudahy, ST.. to-day confirmed the
statement that he will pay $4,000 for
the capture of the gang who abducted
his son Edward, and secured ransom
of $25,000 in gold. A force of private
detectives from Chicago went to work
on the case to-day. Young Cudahy to-
day stated that the letter demandeding
a ransom was hurled into the yard by
his abductors before they left the neigh
borhod of his home. The letter was
dated ahead one day probably because
the writer knew it would not be found
until Wednesday morning. Statements
that the letter was signed Jack are
declared to be in error, as it is now said
the missive bore no signature.

THE BAILEY FAILS AGAIN.
Did Not Beach Thirty Knot Speed In
Yesterdays Trial.

Newport, R. l., Dec. 21.-The new tor
pedo boat Bailey failed in her attempt
to complete her standardizing trial to-
day. likewise failing to reach a 80 knot
speed on account Of a poor quality of
coal used in firing. Her failure to
reach the necessary speed'was not a
surprise to those on board who saw the
way the poor coal acted. The Bailey
would repeatedly go a little over twen-
ty-nine knots and then the steam would
fall off. AS a better quality of coal
cannot be obtained here it will require
some time to have a supply sent and
the boat will return to her builders
shops for the holidays and the naval
board will return to Washington. An
other trial will not be made for cou-
pie of weeks at the least

Another Hearing on Mr.. Carrolls
Charges Last Night.

The special committee on Anthony
Carrolls charges against City Engineer
Kelly held a hearing last night in the
aldermanic chamber. The chamber was
crowded with citizens. The first wit
ness called by Mr.. Carroll was DR.. Skin

of crushed stone which he says is
sample taken from that used on the
Grove street pavement job. The admis-
sion of this evidence has been objected
| to by counsel for Mr.. Kelly and Mr.
Carroll has been endeavoring to prove
that the stone came from the Grove
street job. Dr. Skinner testified last
night that the stone which Mr.. Carroll
had in the box was similar to the
crushed stone which he had seen on
Grove street.

examination of this witness Mr.. Malo-

Ma1oney, being a paid employe of the
city ought not to object to spending
little time on it. This interchange was
ccasioned by objection which was in
terposed by Mr.. Kelly's counsel to Mr..
Carroll's questions. Chairman Fertman
ruled that the committee would hear
any evidence that would throw light
on the matter under investigation. He
said: "The members of the committee
are not lawyers. They are here to find
out the truth, and we will have no
more tom foolery'
The witness said that he thought that
the concrete used on Grove street was
mixed according to specifications.
Mr. Carroll-"Was there a skilled man
on the job?"
Mr. Maloney-"Yes. l should say that
the men who mixed concrete there were

KITCHENER EXPLAINS.
The Reason Certain Troops Refused for
Time to Fight.

London, Dec. Pas the outcome OF
statements made during the recent ses-
sion of parliament and since reiterated,
to the effect that some of the colonial
troops have refused to fight again, the
war office late last evening issued the
following explanation from Lord Kitch-
ener:
"a number of men belonging to two
of the South African corps refused to
march on one occasion, owing to- some
mistake to carry out their discharge at
the expiration of their term of service.
Lord Roberts, seeing that they had a.
grievance, overlooked the matter, sim
ply reprimanding them. The men of
both corps have since done good work
in the field, and it is absolutely un-
founded to say that there was mutiny
or that force was used against them"

CONDITIONS or THE NOTE.
A Few Changes in the Demands of the
Powers on China.


| London, Dec. 22.--Dr Morrison. in
long dispatch to the Times from Pekin,
dated December 20, gives extracts from
the Joint note. After long preamble
recounting and condemning the out
RACES he proceeds to quote the demands
which are virtually Identical with the
ten set forth in the dispatch to the
Associated Press from Tien Tsin dated
December IA, but not as in the case of
that dispatch setting forth the amount
of the indemnity. According to DR..
Morrison's information the clause refer
ring to indemnity reads as follows:
Equitable indemnity is to be paid
to states, societies and individuals and
also to Chinese who have suffered in
jury on account of their employment by
foreigners. China will adopt financial
measures acceptable to the powers to
guarantee the payment of indemnity
and the service loans
According to the Times correspondent
the note contains the following stipula-
tions in addition to those cabled to
The Associated Press from Tien Tsin:
Preparation to Japan for the murder
Of Sugiyama.
"Expiatory monuments erected in all
foreign cemeteries where tombs have
been desecrated.
"The posting of proclamation
throughout the empire for two years

upon the guilty officials and threaten
ing death TO any one joining an anti
foreign society.
''An imperial edict to be issued hold
ing viceroys and governors responsible
for anti-foreign outbreaks or violations
of treaties.
China to undertake negotiations for
a revision of the commercial treaties"
The dispatch concludes with an ex-
preston of regret at the delay caused
by Mr.. Conger's not signing, especially
in view of Ii Hung Chang's health and
advanced age, which causes much anx-
iety"

West Point, N. Y, Dec. 21.--The mill
tary board of inquiry which is ferret
ing out the alleged brutal hazing Of
Cadets Booz and Breth will not be able
to finish it's work this week. To-day
the story of The fight between Keller
and Booz in Fort Putnam on the 9Th
of August, 1898, was told by Keller him
self as well as by some of the seconds
and sentinels They all agreed that
Booz was not badly punished and that
he practically laid down. Nothing ad-
duced in the evidence to-day showed
that there was any brutal hazing prac-
ticed at the academy and the trend of
the evidence went to show that neither
Booz nor Breth was possessed of the
mental capacity to go
through the entire course of studies
necessary for graduation.

NO HOSTILITY TO ENGLAND
SENATOR LODGE EXPLAINS CANAL
ATYAMENDMENTS.

EralSe Tor secretary Atuy-AHe Supeic ces-
sion of the CIaytom-BuI,ver Measure So
The Amendments All Made In Good
Faith and to Avoid Future C0mplica-
tions-The Burden This Country AS
sumes.
Washington, Dec Ex-senator Lodge,
who had charge of the Hay-Pauncerote
treaty in the Senate, to-day made the
following statement:
.'The Senate amendments are very
important, but they are very simple
although there seems to be some mlsufl-
derstanding in regard to them owing
to the fact that all the debates upon the
treaty took place behind closed doors,
Now that the amendments and votes
have been made public by order of the
Senate it may not be amiss to explain
them briefly.
LET me say first that the amend
ments were not dictated by hostility to-
ward England, and still less were they
in any degree a reflection upon the sec
retary of state, whose patriotism, purl-
ty of purpose, knowledge, accomplish
ments and high achievements in dealing
with our foreign relations, especially in
China, are fully and cordially recogniz-
ed by men Of all parties and all shades
of opinion in the Senate. The amend
ments were made by the Senate solely
because in it's opinion they were neces-
safy for the interests of the United
States, for the avoidance of any ques-
ton as to the control of the canal and
consequently for the sake of peaceful
and harmonious relations with the rest
of the world on that subject in the fu
ture.
1.-THE first amendment is a simple dec
laration that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty
ceases to exist and is superseded by
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. The OBJ
ject of the latter was to remove the
former as an obstacle to the construc-
ton of the canal The American peo-
pie desired to be rid of the Clayton Bull
wer treaty finally and beyond question
and to fulfill this wish is the purpose
of the first amendment.
"Under article II of the Hay-Paunce-
IOlG lf9dly DIS II SIOOu. we were
clearly bound if engaged in war to per-
init hostile fleet, if it succeeded in
getting inside the three mile zone, to
pass unmolested through the canal. 1t
was solemn promise to permit hos
tile fleet to use the canal. That prom
ise we either intended to keep or else
we made 1t knowing that under the
stress of war we should break it. If
we meant to keep it then 1t was a
promise no nation ought to make. If
we knew that we should not keep it in
time of war, then it was only fair and
honest to relieve ourselves of the OBJ
legation In the treaty itself. This was
the purpose of the second or Davis
which entirely disposes of
any such promise, and which follows

In words, article x of the Suez conven-
tion which reserved similar rights to

canal is trivial compared to ours in
