JUDGE JONES CONFIRMED
Attorney Reese's Name Stlll
 with Senate Committee.
wickersham is Endorsed-said That J. H. Bingham will Be Reap pointed Collector of Internal
 Revenue for Alabama.

Washington, Dec. 17-(Special)-The announcement today that the President has agreed to re-appoint "ihia" Vaughan, United States District Attorney For the Northern District. D. N Cooper Marshal for the Northern District ana Leander J. Bryan of Montgomery Mar shal for the Middle District, has ois- tiuctly cleared up the situation so far as the Alabama fights are concerned.
 The Vaughan faction are now claim ing to be on top all around, but of course this cannot be said with certainty at this trrae. The several candidates for these places are now getting back home dis appointed at their luck. The Democratic VOW is that tbe Walker-Parsons move ment to ortSnize a new political move ment has signally failed, and that Ala bama Repubiicanism will be conducted pretty much along ancient lines.
 As Senators Morgan and Pettus have looked favorably upon the Vaughan side. no doubt Is entertained that the nomina- tions will be speedily confirmed, as were the nominations of Judge Jones and At torney Wickersham today.
 The failure of the Senate to confirm the nomination of Reese today is due to the lact that the matter is hung up in the Committee on Judiciary until certain ,harges can be investigated. s
 Senator Pettus has no doubt, however. that MT. Reese will soon be confirmde

MURDERED IN HER ROOM.
Prominent Pittsburg Society Woman
 Killed by Burglars.

Pittshnrg, Pa, Dec. 17.-Harriet Mur- phy, prominent in church and society circles and treasurer of the Kingsley House fund, was murdered at her home, S221 Howe Street, East End, by burglar about o'clock this morning The mur- derer made his escape. and although all the detective and police force of that section was called, the man has not been captured.
 Miss Murphy, with her brother, Select Councilman John A. Murphy, and two servants women, lived in the house. Miss Murphy sleeping on the second floor. She was an expert with the revolver, having practiced many years for the purpose of protecting herself in the event of such an attack as happened this morning.
 About 8 o'clock this morning her broth CT was awakened by two shots, and has, tening to his sisters room. found her lying dead on the floor with bullet wound in the heal The burglar scaled the porch posts and entered the window of Miss Murphys room. It Is supposed that the noise of the crashing glass awakened her, and as she jumped from the bed with her revolver in her hand the man fired. Marks in the. snow on the porch roof indicate that only one man entered the room.
 Developments tonight in, the case deep- en the air of mystery sFrouding 1t. Al the preliminary coroner's inquest, 1t was shown that two bullets were missing l from Miss Murphy's revolver. One was accounted for by tracing 1t to the win dow ledge, where it lodged. No trace oi the other has been found. Miss Mur- phys physician stated that his patient | had not slept for fifteen nights. The physician who examined the body for the | eoroner said the hair around the wound l in the head was scorched showing that | the shot was fired at close range. Bloody tracks on the snow outside of the house
 supposed to have been made by the mur- derer, are shown to have been made by officers who arrived early on the scene
 and after being in the roomt tracked | blood to the outside during their investi-
 gation of the case.
 While many are inclined to believe 1t a | case of suicide. while temporarily de- ranged through insomnia, the police au- thorities will make no statement, and the | friends of the family are positive thai this theory is wrong.

KRTTzINoER CAUGHT.
Lord Kitchener's Men Make an I'm
 portant Capture.

London, Dec. T.-Lord Kitchener has announced the capture of Com mandant Kritzinger. who has been styled ''the Dewet of Cape Colony" This is regarded as very important. He has been a troublesome and energetic invader of Cape Colony and Is credited with more barbarities than any other commandant except Scheipers. In a recent proclama- tion he called himself the chief comman- dant of Cape Colony.
 During the last few days most persts- tent reports emanating both from South Africa and from Boer headquarters in Europe of an approaching crisis in South African affairs have been current. It is alleged that MT. Kruger will abandon his demand for independence and that the Boer leaders in the field are inclined to cease fighting and seek the best terms obtainable.
 In a speech yesterday at Cape Town, Sir J. Gordon Sprigg. the premier of Cape Colony, declared that the outlook had never been brighter than at the present time.

VICTORY FOR GOVERNMENT,
Premier waldeck- Rousseau Carries the Deputies with Him.

Premier waldeck- Rousseau Carries the Deputies with Him.
 Paris, Dec. n.-In the Chamber of Depu- ties this afternoon the Premier. M. Wall deck Rousseau. urged the house to re- establish the public worship estimates, which were suppressed by the Budget Committee. He pointed out the advant- ages of the maintenance of the concordat, which gave the State authority over the clergy. and said a denunciation of the concordat would lead to the creation of a hierarchy, of which the head would be at Rome.
 Ultramontaism would be no longer a doctrine, but a fact. and @ spiritual chief would be created In France in addition to the temporal chief. Moreover, the proposition for the denunciation of the conoordat had never once found ma- jority in the Chamber, and he. the Pre- mier, did not believe it existed now. Even the great revolution had not dared to separate the State and the Church. They ought not undertake task which they were not sure they were able to carry out
 The Premier's remarks were greeted with cheers.
 By a vote of $50 to 1S7, the Chamber sub sequently decided to discuss the details of the public worship bill. This is a vic- tory for the Government since 1t rejects the commissions plan to abolish the pub lie worship estimates from the budget.

Captain Coleman came by a few hours earlier than the vessel of honor and took the President-elect on board, the latter un- aware that he had taken the wrong boat.
