exciting attention throughout the
nation and has awakened q greater
interest in the subject than has
ever before existed. 1t was not
the novelty of the crime, for kid
mapping is not ar uncommon one,
but the prominence of the family,
the boldness of the abductors and
their success in securing the booty
demanded all conspired to make
the case a notable one. While
there are those who critise Mr..
Cudahy for paying the ransom
demanded, ~ye are not able to
appreciate the arguments 10y
which they seek to justify their
conclusions. There was no other
way. The money must be paid 'or
else the boy would either disappear
or be retained manned for Fife.
There caa be no doubt of that.
Those who think he would haye
been set free haye not studied the
history of abductions very closely.
AS a rule kidnappers get what'they
demand or the victim is never
heard from, the exceptions tC
this rule are startling few. With
in twenty years more than tive
hundred cases have occurred in
which the stolen children have
been either killed or have beer
put in families who were ignorant
of the facts or else were in the
pay of the kidnappers and tht

The ahductors became suspicious
that he was going to make them
pay it out of the ten thousand
dollars. They broke off all
negotiations, the boy has meyer
been heard from since, though
the mother has travelled all over
the United States following uL
every clue reported. She has
found 154 boys who had been
stolen. hut her boy was not among
them. She was able to restore 1a
of them to their families, but
could not get no clue to the par
entage of the other al. She has
found that there is not one chance
in 200 that there is any other way
open for the parents except to
comply with the demands made,
possible net one chance in 500.
Mr.. Cudahy had no other way
open to save his son. Put him
where they might, he would have
found his way back. For him it
was either death or the manning
threatened by the kidnappers.
Either alternative was too horrible
to be risked for an hour.

HOWE & STETSON..
THE OLMsTEAD RESOLUTION.
Southern Franchise Abridgement Mat.
ter Referred to Census Committee.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The house to-
day had another spirited struggle over
the Olmstead resolution to investigate
the abridgement Of the suffrage in GER
tain southern states with a view to re-
Iarportionment upon the actual basis of
Suffrage. 1t was finally referred to the
census committee, where the opposition
desired 1t to go originally.
Mr.. Oldstead tried to get Mr. Hop
l1ins to agree that the committee would
consider the resolution within a week,
but the chairman of the census COM
mittee declined to make any pledge to
that effect.
The debate upon the resolution was
marked by exceeding frankness. Some
of the southern members avowed that
the attempt to enfranchise the negroes
had been lamentable failure and the
action of certain states in legally elm
mating the blacks as factors at the polls
they said was in the interest of civiliza-
tion and progress.
After the resolution had been dispos-
ed of the reapportionment bill was TAX
en- up and debated. The general i'm
p1 ession is that the debate will conclude
early next week

Lap.

Boston, Jan. 4.-Archie McEachern,
the clever rider from Toronto, Canada,
led at the finish of the fifth days rid
ing at Park Square Garden The finish
was neither warm nor exciting, two Of
the best sprinters, Mclean and Wal
thour having fallen quarter of a mile
from the end. The only sensational in
cident of the day occurred just before
the last hour when Oscar Babcock stole
lap on the leaders. The latter appar-
emily made no effort to keep him from
getting the distance and a $40 prize. The
only serious fall Of the day was that Of
Stinson at 10:30 tonight and he had
four stitches taken in hip wound. The
pace throughout the riding was an Inn
provement over yesterday and the
crowd in attendance was much larger.

cycle scores were as follows: McEach-
ern Geading) Kaesar, Stinson, Downey,
Fischer, Mclean and Walthour, all

THE MOLINEUX CASE.
GEN. MOlineux to Appeal to Legislature
toAscertain Cause of Delay

New York Jan. 4.--General Edward
L. Molineux has decided to appeal to
the legisla ture to ascertain the cause of
the delay in settling the case of his son
Roland, convicted of murder in the first
degree. He will ask if necessary that
a committee be appointed to conduct
an investigation and that a bill be en-
acted limiting the time given to trial
judge within which he must pass on
case where the conviction was one of
murder in the first degree.
General Molineux says that he had
hoped that the question as to the guilt
or innocence of his boy should have
been settled before this. His son was
convicted on February 10, 1900. Weeks,
Battle and Marshall, counsel for Mol
ineux, completed serving their papers
on appeal to the district attorney on
May of last year. On July 5 the dis
trict attorney completed his case and
the following day the papers were sub
mitted to Recorder Goff Shortly after
the recorder went on three months
vacation. He returned to the bench on
November /, but it was not until De-
cember that he took up the Molineux
papers.
General Molineux says: Every man
who Is accused of having committed
crime is under our good laws entitled
to speedy trial. The trial of my sou
is not completed until the court of ap-
peals has passed upon his case. And
let me say right here that / do not fear
the future"

Hard ut Work.

London, Jan. 5.-There is no further
news from Lord Kitchener, who, ac-
cording to a Cape Town dispatch, is
calling for five thousand men to guard
the Rand mines. Enlisting in Cape Col
ony continues active and five hundred
men will leave Cape Town for the north
within the next few days.
Information regarding the invasion is
Jscanty. Colonel Williams attacked the
eastern invaders January 1 near Mid
delburg, but failed to dislodge them.
He has since been jointed by Lieuten-
ant-Colonel Grenfell and the Beers have
retired
General Brabant has arrived at Graaf
Reinet.
Advices from Maseru, Basutoland,
dated yesterday say that three separ-
ate columns are still pursuing General
taking twenty-eight prisoners. Cannon
firing is continually heard.
All the English have deserted Ficks-
burg, taking their stocks of grain across
the border, and the Beers have looted
the town.
According to the Daily Mails corre-
spondent at The Hague, the directorate
of the Netherlands-Sout African rail-
road has applied to the Amsterdam
courts for suspension of payment.
The Daily Chronicle advises that ia
vorable attention should be given to
movement, reported by it's Montreal cor
respondent, to induce Sir Wilfril Lau-
rier, the Dominion premier, provided
the colonial office consents, to proceed
to South Africa as a commissioner en-
powered to intervene with a view to the
restoration of peace.
Earl Robertsi of Kandahar and Pre-
toria, Is already immersed in his ardu-
Gus new duties at the war office. He
that the first business he will take up
will be the case of Major General Sir
Henry Colvie who was recently asked
to resign his command at Gibraltar
presumably because Of the disaster to
the British forces at Lindley, Orange
Free State. General Colvile has appeal
ed to Lord Roberts for justice.

DOUBTS CHINA'S SINCERITY
n PESSIMISTIC NOTE SOUNDED IN
ST. PETERSBURG.
The Novoe Vremya Declares the Next
Catastrophe Not Far Distant-WtIl
Surpass Recent Occurrences--Alleged
German and English Plundering and
Vandalism Attack ed--French Prepar-
ing nm Expedition.

| st. Petersburg, Jan. 4.-The Novoe
Vremya characterizes the Chinese ac-
ceptance of the peace terms of the pow
ers as being formality due to China S
ability to oppose the European armies
The paper adds that the next catas-
trophe is probably not far distant and
that it will far surpass the recent oc-
currences. The entire Russian press
prophecies pessimistically, and fiercely
attacks German plundering, vandalism
and the destruction of the libraries and
other monuments of the ancient civili-
zation by German and English troops"
The Rossya complacently observes
that the London Times Pekin dispatch
will hardly cement German-English
friendship.
The dispatch referred to is in all
probability the advices of DR.. Morrison,
the London Times correspondent at Pc
kin, who, wiring from Pekin under date
of December 2S, sent the Times long
protest against German Harshness,'
which he said, was creating instead of
checking disorder.
Shanghai, Jan. 4-The French intend
to send a force overland from TOnk1n
to Cheng-Tu should the Chinese court go
there
"It is reported on the best authority
says the Chinese newspaper Chung
Wei-Cih-Pao, "that a foreign power,
probably the British, will resort to
force, first seizing Chu-Ran, unless the
persons guilty of the massacre of Chris
tians at ChuenoW are beheaded."
1t is considered possible that Sir Err
nest Mason Satow, the British minis
ter to China, is moving in the Chuenow
affair.
Among the bank notes which the Chi
nese paid to the foreign consuls as in
demnity for the missions destroyed at
Sheh- -Tung were five pound notes that
had been raised to fifteen pound notes
and ten pound notes that had been
raised to one hundred pound notes.

AGU1NALDo,s REPORTED DEATH.
Senior Sixto Lopez Ridicules 1t and Gives
His ReasOns.

Chicago, Jan. 4.-"This is about the
forteth time Aguinaldo has been kill
ed, said Senor Sixto Lopez, the Fill
pino envoy when he was shown the
report to-day that the insurgent leader
was dead, which had come through
President Benjamin Ide Wheeler, of the
University of California, and was based
upon the statements of Filipino stu
dents in his charge.
Il think it would be very foolish to
attach any Importance to the prattle
of these Students continued Mr.. Lo-
pez. "I know the Buencamino family
in Manila and 1 am certain they are
not in a position to be intrusted with
great secrets by the Filipinos. Before
the Americans came Buencamino was
very loyal to the Spanish. Then he be-
came Filipino leader for short time
and now he is an American.
'All that I can say definitely about
the matter is that Aguinaldo was alive
when I received my last advices.
But the death of Aguinaldo would
really not make so very much differ
ence in carrying on the campaign.
There are other generals in the field
who are just as capable as Aguinaldo,
and if he was killed the war would go
right on Just the same.
Indeed, there is a very strong ele-
ment among the aristocracy of the
Filipinos who would prefer to have
leader of their own class. Aguinaldo
was not member of the aristocracy,
but his services have been so great that
no very strong opposition has been
made to him on that account IF he
could be succeeded by member of the
aristocracy, however, it would give sat
isfaction in great many quarters"
Lopez thought the war likely to con-
tinue indefinitely unless some terms of
settlement could be agreed upon. He
described the organization of the Fill
pinos as very strong and their deter
mination to win independence un-
changeable.

other necessities. Among the captures
in Smiths district was Colonel Techon,
the insurgent governor of Tarlac.

where the insurgents are in force in his
district.

Isidro in General Funston's district
during the night and burned score of
houses. Their capture was ineffective.
General Macarthur has 'commuted
several death sentences of military
courts to Imprisonment.
Judge Taft's written opinion on the
San Jose College case was considered
and endorsed by the Philippine COM
mission this afternoon. 1t will be made
public tomorrow.
The enactment of the school bill has
been deferred on account of the desire
of the Filipinos to be heard on the bill
as completed. 1t differs radically from
the one prepared by Superintendent
Atkinson and endorsed by General Mac
Arthur The latter appropriated ST.,
$780, 900 outright, to be disbursed through
Mr. Atkinson under the supervision of
General Macarthur. The completed
bill directly appropriated only $4,000
and reserves to the commission author
ity over plans for schoohouses ana also
requires Mr.. Atkinson to report to both
General Macarthur and the commits
sion.
The commiss,u n has authorized the
department of public instruction to pro-
ceed with the business entrusted to its
administration.
Many inquiries have been received
here from the provinces concerning the
federal party. The organizers are es-
tablishing a daily newspaper and three
weeklies, to be published in Spanish
and Tagalog, in the provinces of Pam
panga.

Slight Hitch in Their Relations-Rus-

Paris, Jan. 4.-Yves Guyot's journal
LIE Steele has a sensational announce
ment, evidently inspired, that the Rus
sian ambassador, Prince Ouroussoff,
will soon quit Paris on indefinite leave
of absence.
The radical ministerialists make the
prince responsible for the recent Rus
sian criticism of the French govern
ment's policy towards the army. Ca
mile Pelletan says in La Lanterne: "It
is not too much to demand that Russia
shall show the world that she is not
nourishing a pretender for new coup
detat in France, and that she does not
intend meddling in the domestic affairs

protection of revolving general staff
