HELD TO GRAND JURY.
Five Men Charged With Conspiring
to Ruin a Bishop.

Chicago, Nov. Alive men charged by
Bishop Anthony Kozlowsld of the indie
pendent Catholic church with conspiracy
to cause his arrest unlawfully in order to
injure his church and philanthropic work
We're today held by Magistrate Martin to
the grand jury.
The defendants are Dr. Stanislaus Slo-
minszi, formerly a physician in St An
thony hospital, of which Bishop KozloW-
ski is the head; A. H. Podgerski, formerly
a priest in the church, TeOlfl Sajewicz,
John Olzwisk and Bronislaus Wodzin-
ski. The hearing as replete with SenSa-
tlonal charges, the complainant and de-
PENDANTS alike averring that their lives
We're in monetary danger during the
proceedings Four of the defendants
brought counter charges against Bishop
kozlowski, averring that he had caused
the death of seven patients by poisoning
in his hospital. KozloWski introduced
American born witnesses to prove that the
patients died natural deaths, and brought
to the stand Lewandoski, who swore
that the defendants had offered him mon
ey and other inducements to murder the
bishop. He said the defendant planned
every detail of the plot for him, but he
refused to be tempted. Anthony Hollow
ski left the Roman Catholic church years
ago and started the independent move
ment, which numbers ten parishes.
1t is said to be akin to what is known
in Germany the old Catholic
church, which arose following the coun-
ell of Trent. Kozlowski was elevated
to the bishopric by the London Catholic
church during a pilgrimage which he
made to Germany some years ago.

the energetic action of the purchasing
commissaries in San Francisco and New
York this was speedily corrected, and
this division was soon supplied as no
other army Of it's size has ever been sup
piled in the worlds history"
During the period covered by this re-
port the command to be supplied extend
ed from the great wall of China on the
north to the island of Borneo on the
south and the island of Guam on the
east There were 480 stations in this
archipelago, besides the troops in China
and the prisoners in Guam.
In addition to the IS, 900 troops and
5000 officers in this division, the subsist-
ence department supplied the delicacieS
for the sick, rations for 1000 prisoners or
war, Is marines many of the stores for
the navy, rations for 1000 civilian en-

government in its treasury, postoffice,
interior and educational departments,
metropolitan police, native police and
scouts, transports, etc.
In other words. nearly 100, 600 persons,
occupying s. country almost destitute of
meat and vegetables and other food
supplies suitable for Americans, were
supplied largely from a single base
1000 miles distant. After the stores
reached Manila they had to be landed
in cascoes and then distributed on short
railroads, by cascoes, and then poled up
narrow rivers, by wagon and carabo
carts along almost bOttomleSS roads,
by pack mules and coolies over noun
tain trails often through a hostile
country, and some of the outposts sup
piled were more distant, in point of
time from Manila than is the capital
of our country
Col Woodruff says that during the
period covered by the report $4,000 men
have been returned to the United States
and about $4,000 have arrived in the
Philippines, and that not single Sc

NEED NOT PAY.
stockholders of Old Topeka Savings
Bank Are Relieved.

Judge Hazen this morning decided
that the stockholders of the Topeka
Savings bank would not have to pay
the amounts sued for by the bank which
collapsed eight years ago.
The attorneys for the bank demurred
to the seven points of defense and
Judge Hazen sustained six of the seven
demurrers but overruled demurrer to
the vital point, that of the statute of
limitation. This means that the bank
did not call for the subscrib to pay
the balance of the amounts they sub
scribed until after their right to call
for the money had been outlawed by
the statute of limitation. Those who
were sued were as follows: J. Weiss,
$500; Crosby Bros, $500 Thompson Bros,

READY TO TREAT.
PauncefOte Tells Hay He Is
Prepared to Begin.

Washington, Nov. 4.-Lord Paunce-
fote, the British ambassador. called
upon Secretary Hay today to announce
formally to the secretary his return
from a vacation in England and his
readiness to undertake at once, the con-
clusion of the new HayPauncefote
treaty. The interview lasted about half
an hour. Many topics were touched upon
beside the treaty, which was not given
particular consideration today, the con-
yersation on that point being rather pre-
liminary to the beginning of the treaty
drafting. Lord Pauncefote did not bring
with him to the state department a
copy of the proposed convention In
fact this document does not exist as
such, for, although the principal points
of the treaty have been agreed upon by
the two principals, have yet to be trans
ferred from the protocols into a formal
treaty. This work of transference will
begin in about week, according to the
present expectation and if it proceeds
steadily after that time the new treaty
will be in shape for submission to the
senate Immediately after that body con-
venes next month.
