ATTEMPT TO BRIBE A CLERK
TO STEAL THE INSURANCE BILL

Denver, Colo, March 30.-An effort
was made last night during the recess
of the Senate to secure the defeat of
II. B. 3-proposing an increase of the
tax on insurance companies-by the
offer of bribe of $500 to John Con-
molly, docket clerk of the senate, if he
would deliver the engrossed bill to the
man who offered the money.
Connolly refused the offer and at
once laid the matter before Lieuten-
ant Governor Coates. The matter was
announced to the senate by Senator
Seldomridge who warned the members
of the senate that they might expect
other such attempts. Senator Whit
ford insisted that the same methods
were likely to be applied to the reap
portionment bill and the supreme court
amendment and that attempts had
been made to steal these bills.
Rumors We're in circulation at the
capitol last night that attempts had
been made to steal II. B. 1, the revenue
bill, but like the claims made by Sena-
tor Whitford for the supreme court
and reapportionment bills, these were
traced down to a desire to create preju-
dices in favor of particular measures.
1t was ordered by the senate that
Secretary Kelly should alone have the
key to the iron chest in which senate
bills are kept.

recommended that every man partici-

Aguinaldo to-day conferred in the
Tagalog language at the Malacanan

his cabinet and other prominent Fill

explained to him the hopelessness of
the inSurgent cause and advised him
to use his influence to establish peace

sovereignty. The result of the confer

Twelve thousand Filipinos have

United States at San Vincente, South

Aguinaldo is now detained in COM

When Aguinaldo was captured he
wore a plain dark blue suit, with the
coat closely buttoned at the throat, and
wide white helmet with a leather
band. He takes his capture philosoph-
ically. He is generally cheerful. but
sometimes moody. His health during
the past year has been very good. 1t
is uncertain what attitude he will now
assume.
Certain visitors are permitted to see
Aguinaldo, but newspaper interviews
with the prisoner are not allowed.

COAL STRIKE AVERTED
IN PENNSYLVANIA

Wilkesbarre. Pa, March 30.-The eX-
ecutiye committee was given arbitrary
power by the general convention of
miners held at HaZletOn early this
month to declare n strike If the cir
cumstances warranted 1t. In the opin-
ion of the committee the circum-
stances did not warrant 1t at this time.
Mr.. Mitchell made an addres to the
committee which was conservative in
the extreme He spoke of his visit to
New York and his effort to secure In
terviews with the men who control the
anthracite coal trade. He said all the
concessions asked for had not been
granted. but the outlook was bright,
and it was his opinion that the day
was not far distant when the operators
of the anthracite region would see
that it was to their advantage so meet
their miners in joint conference.
A number of coal operators. when
shown the statement issued by the
committee, said 1t was disgraceful
backdown ON Mr. Mitchell's part. but
gave the president of the Mine Work
ers credit for his conservative policy.
On the whole the miners are well
pleased with the action of the commit
tee. While they were ready to strike
had the order been given. they are just
as well pleased that no lockout Is to Oc-
cur. There is general rejoicing among
business men tonight over the news.
The happiest man in town tonight Is
Rev Il. S. Phillips the Hazleton priest
who did so much TO bring about n
peaceful settlement of the differences
between the operators and miners. He

Connolly says that while he was in
the senate chamber putting his papers
in order about 7:30 o'clock last night
he was approached by a man who he
had seen about the lobby, man past

him that it would be worth $500 cash

from the shore of Corregidor and
Aguinaldo was quietly transferred to
the launch, which steamed up the
Pasig river to the wharf at the back
of the Malacanan palace, where the
prisoner disembarked almost un-
noticed.
Some hours elapsed before the news
of Aguinaldo's capture was generally
known. The fact that he was a pris-
oner caused joy and congratulation
among the Americans. The native
population was apathetic. There was
no particular excitement anywhere.
After being convinced of Aguinaldo's
capture, General Geronimo, the insur-
gent leader in the province of Mo-
rong, Luzon, has surrendered with six
officers, forty-siX men and fifty rifles
to Colonel j. Milton Thompson, Forty
second regiment, at San Mateo.
AS the news of Aguinaldo's capture
spreads through the archipelago the
insurgents are becoming disheartened
