REPEATERS ARRESTED.
Gang Imported From Chicago
by st. Louis Candidates.

st. Louis. Feb. 1.-THE Post Dispatch
today says twenty-five men who say
they are from Chicago were arrested to-
day and lodged in the holdover. The
police suspect they were brought to St.
Louis to be used as repeaters in the
Democratic primary. Information
reached the police Sunday night through
David Perry, q Chicago saloonkeeper.
that a large party Of men had left that
city for St. Louis with the expressed
intention Of taking part in the primaries
here.
According to the terms of their agree
ments so the police were informed. the
men were paid 500 each before the train
left Chicago and were to receive 5000
more at the conclusion Of their days
work.
Upon the opening of the primaries, it
is said, they were to be supplied with
guns and ammunition. Their instruc-
tions, the police declare, were to vote
at the primaries as often as told to do
so and to use force with anybody who
interfered with them, whether police,
election officials or party workers.
The plan, so the police were informed,
was to use them in the Twenty sixth,
Twenty-first and other West end wards
during the afternoon and in the down
town wards in the evening.
The police say the arrangements for
bringing the men to St. Louis were made
by two candidates for nomination to
the house of delegates.
Acting under the advice from Chicago
the entire detective force of the police
department was sent out to locate the
men Monday morning, resulting in the
arrest of 20 of the supposed gang.

CHICAGO WILL HELP.
Has Most Kindly Feeling For St
Louis Worlds Fair.

Hot Springs, Ark, Feb. 11.-Mr. Alex
ander j. Jones, the president Of the
drainage board of Illinois, in an inter-
view today regarding Chicago and Iii
nois attitude on st. Louis appropriations
and Worlds fair said The suggestion
that the St. Louis fair appropriations
and legislation should be opposed either
at Springfield or at Washington because
of ST. Louis opposition to the Chicago
drainage canal is not a Chicago senti-
ment and is especially distasteful to the
officials Of the sanitary district. The
St. Louis celebration is to commemorate
one of the greatest events in American
history, the Louisiana purchase and as
it was this event more than any other
which shifted the seat Of empire from
the Atlantic 10 the Mississippi valley
and opened the great west, Chicago and
Illinois should take a special interest in
making the exposition a success The
canal controversy has now reached a
stage where facts and not theories are
to be presented to the court for the set
Element for ever of the question Of
whether running water purifies itself
and whether St Louis is injured or ben
Gifted by the opening Of the canal We
expect to show, and that before the ST.
Louis exposition is opened that it has
been not only sanitary benefit, but the
increased flow of $50 600 cubic feet of
water per minute down the Illinois and
Mississippi valleys has proven such
boon to navigation in all seasons Of the
year as to convince the most skepticaI
that the first and most important step
has been taken in the construction Of
the great commercial waterway and ship
canal to connect the great lakes with the
city Of st. Louis and the city Of St
Louis with the Gulf of Mexico. This

the century's development of the Louisf-
ana purchase and Chicago must claim a
part in concentrating these events by

and Chicago. and following ii 10 by

TRACKED IN SNOW.
Three Men Arrested for Stealing
4OO-lb. Safe.


Sioux City. Ia, Feb 11.-Three men
believed to have been implicated in the
theft last night at Manila. Ia, of a
United States Express company's safe
said to contain $4,000, were arrested
near that place this morning. They
were traced by their tracks in the snow.
The men are John Jackson John StovaI1
and Charles Hayes All live at Manila
and are well known Their regulations
heretofore have not been bad. They
stoutly protest their innocence. Mrs.
jackson, wife Of John Jackson, was also
arrested, but at a preliminary hearing
she was released The three men are
in jail, having been unable to furnish
bond fixed at $4,000 cash.
None of the money or valuables has
been recovered.
The safe that was stolen contained
in the neighborhood Of $40 000 Two
thousand dollars was in cash and the
remainder in drafts, checks and various
valua b1es. While the robbery was de-
liberately planned as the horse and
wagon We're in waiting in a convenient
spot, it is not believed that the men
knew they were making so rich q haul.
They had no means of knowing the con-
tents OF the safe only that it was used
for carrying valuables-
The Chicago Milwaukee & St. Paul
train on which the safe was taken from
Sioux City arrived at Manila at sos o.
m. Saturday night The Omaha train
was late and James Sturtevant, of Sioux
City, the express messenger, did not
hurry in loading the goods and pack
ages from his car. The express safe
with other articles was placed on
truck on the depot platform, and then
StuFtevant and the aggagefnan went
to the other end Of the platform to get
anoher truck load
When Sturtevant returned he noticed
that the. articles on the truck were dis
arranged and a glance showed hat the
iron box was gone
There was great excitement and no
time was lost in spreading the alarm.
City Marshal Terrell hastily assembled
a posse. Snow lay thick on the ground
and it did not take long to discover the
tracks or two persons who evidently
had been carrying some heavy object
directly from the truck as it stood upon
the depot platform.
They carried the safe a distance or
about two blocks and then loaded it in
to a wagon which had been left there in
waiting. The wagon was driven about
a mile and a half out into the country
and there the safe was forced open and
the contents distracted. The men there
abandoned the safe and went their way
on a new track. 1t was not difficult to
trace them, however, and this morning
three arrests were made.
The authorities say the shoes of the
two men under arrest ut exactly the
tracks in the snow.

Paris Dressmakers Demand an Eight

Paris, Feb. 1.-THE strike in the Paris
dress1nalxing trade has assumed forn7-
liable proportions. About sixteen Arms
are involved Including such well known
houses as Worth, Redfern, Paouin
Doucet, La Eerriere, -D'Oucillet and
Radnitz.
This afternoon. the strikers held a.
meeting. Numerous seamstresses
whom the tailOrs are urging to strike
en- nasse. were present. The speakers
among them, Louise Michel, urged the
men to hold out. The orator suggested
burning the workshops of recaicftrant
firms with petroleum, but this proposal

The meeting decided to demand an
eight-hoUr day and six francs for w0-
men. The employers were given until
tomorrow to reply. If they do not yield
a general strike will be declared.

mrs. MAYBRICK,S CASE.
Ambassador Choate is Doing All He
Can for Her.

-------C Can for Her.
London, Feb. 1.-THE officials OF the
home office say there is no foundation
whatever for the report that Mrs. Flor
ence AIaybrick has been pardoned.
Washington, Feb 1.-THE state de-
partment has not been advised of the
reported intentions of the British gov
eminent to pardon Mrs. Florence May
brick, the American woman imprisoned
in England on a charge of poisoning her
husband. Tt is said, however, that Mr..
Choate has lost no opportunity at all
proper times to work toward that end,
and that his efforts have been par
ticularly energetic of late. OF course
these must be unofficial, for it would not
be permissible for the case to be made
the subject of formal exchanges. Sec
rotary Hay, while ambassador to Lon
don. did all that he could in Mrs. May
bricks behalf, and what Mr.. Choate is
now doing is simply in continuation Of
that movement. 1t is hoped, however,
that he is working under much more
favorable auspices and that success is
near at hand.

Supreme Court Decides Case Involv-
ing Damage Claim Against Indians


Washington, Feb. 1.-THE United
States uprerne court today decided two
cases involving the question Of the re-
sponsibility Of an entire tribe Of In
dams for depredatiOns committed by
organized bands composed Of members
Of the tribe holding that in such case
there is no liability. One of these cases
was that Of Montoya, and involved re-
spOnsibility for the operations Of Vic
tOrio's band Of Apaches, and the other
that of Connors. involving the depre-
dation of Dull Knifes band of Chey-
ennes, both occurring fifteen or twenty
years ago, the first in New Mexico and
the other in Kansas and Nebraska
The opinion was handed down by JUS
tice Brown and held that as the bands
in both cases were strong enough to
break away from their respective tribes
and to defy the United States govern
ment as they did the tribes as a whole
could not in equity be held responsible
for their misdeeds.
