Henderson in this city by Bishop Nc
Quarrie of the dormon church, in Sep
TENDER. 1899.
She met Henderson at Los Angeles,
where she was visiting with her sis
ter. He had plenty of money and was
q smooth talker and won her heart.
She returned to Ogden shortly after
wards and in a few weeks he fOllGwed
and they were married. They went to
Denver and later to Texas.
During their travels she noticed
many things about her husbands ac-
tions that aroused her suspicious, and
discovering his duplicity she left him
and returned 20 Ogden Soon after
wards he Joined her there and she and
her sister accompanied him 10 Los An

Comment Of English Pres.

London. March 23.-With the excep-
ton of the prO-Boer organs, all the
morning papers comment upon the
peace negotiations and recognize that
the government has reached the utmost
point OF leniency. The Daily Mail
which denounces the weakness of the
government in the severest terms,
says:
1T is startling 70 find that the gov
eminent has capitulated on so many
vital points. The ministers have been
willing to concede as much as any lit
tie Highlander administrator would
dare TO grant, and have thereby admin
istered severe shock to the cOuntry'S
confidence Our task in South Africa
will now be harder than ever"
The Morning Post points to the sig
nifiCant fact that Lord Kitchener and
Sir Alfred Miner, the strong men on
Cancellation than Mr.. Chamberlain.
The Daily Mail calls the terms extra
ordinarily liberal. and thinks that no
parallel can be shown of such indul-
gence to a vanquished foe. and it ex-
presses a hope that the governments
offer although rejected. when once il
becomes known to the mass of the
Beers, will make for peace.
The pro-BOer Daily News, after OBJ
serving that the Overtures made from
the British side are noo in the most
dignified manner" says:
"The reason for their rejection is
quite plain. General Botha discovered.
as Mr.. Kruger did eighteen months
ago, that Mr.. Chamberlain would raise
his demands rs fast as they were ac-
cepted'
The papers in general critieise most
strongly the dual language concession.

MARK HANNA is MAD.
His kilograms Regarding Nebraska
Senators Were Published.

Washington. March 22.-The Ne
braska senatorial situation was
considered at a consultation be-
tween the president and Sena-
tor Hanna, chairman of the Re
publican national committee today.
The administration is anxious that the
deadlock in the legislature be broken
in order that the election of two Re
publican senators may be accomplished
and the Republican national commit
tee has been eXerting its influence to
that end.
Senator Hanna did not relish the
publication of the telegram which he
sent to Lincoln, urging acquiescence in
the viii of the majority and says he
Will send no more kilograms to people
who make them public. He may, how
ever, find a way of answering the tele-
gram sent to him by the ten boiling
Republicans which declared that the
election of d. Z. Thompson. one of the
candidates, would be disgraceful.
1 have hopes said the senator when
he left the White House, that sooner
or later loyalty to the Republican
party will bring the boilers to their
senses

DIsCREDTED IN OMAHA.
Officers Do Not Believe Dallas Man

Officers Do Not Believe Dallas Man
is Kidnaper.
Omaha, Neb, March 22.-Chief of
Police Donahue said when shown the
Dallas dispatch that he did not know
the Dallas convict Henderson, nor Of
any alleged confession he or any one
else had made in connection with the
Cudahy kidnapping. He also said that
if such a confession had been made he
would undoubtedly have been notified
at once.
Police Captain Mailer said it looked
as if Henderson was up against d long
term in Texas and took a very COM
mon method with crooks under such
circumstances.
Henderson is the man whom Chief
Donahue Investigated when arrested in
Dallas early in February A picture OF
Pat Grove was found in Henderson'S
ne might know something of the kid
naping.
Chief Eonahue was shown the dis
patch from Dallas stating that the
sheriff there had appealed to Mr.
Cudahy to send his son to Dallas to
~ence for a crime in that city. The
chief said the telegram had been re-
ferred to him by Mr.. Cudahy. He said
Mr.. Cudahy would not send his son, and
that he (the chief of police). would have
nothing whatever to do with the case.
When Henderson was arrested his
photograph was sent to Chief Donahue
who showed it to all the persons who
had seen the abductors and none of
them could identify him. The chief of
police says there is absolutely no evil
dence to connect Henderson with the
case. and he viii not act on Hender-
sons confession at all. Mr. Cudahy
could not be seen this afternoon.

NO FEARS OF RUSSIA.
Promised England to Respect the In
tegrity of China.


London, March 22.-Replying to a
question in the house of commons to-
day as to whether the government pro-
posed to ask Germany to act with ref
erence 10 Russia's action in M2nchuria,
the foreign secretary, Lord CranbOrne,
replied that the Russian government
had repeatedly declared its intention
to respect the integrity of China and
the British government was not aware
that Russia had infringed it.
After questions had been answered in
the house of commons the liberal
leader, Sir Henry Campbell Banner
man, moved the adjournment OF the
house in order to call attention to the
failure of the government to give the
house information yesterday of the
settlement of the Tien Tsin dispute
The whole opposition seconded the mo-
ton
The government leader, Mr.. BalfOur,
declared he had not heard an adjust
ment suggested on such a frivolous
pretext- Perhaps it was desirable that
Lord LansdOwne should have sent the
information to the house. but it was
absurd3to attack him, Mr.. BaIfour, for
not doing so.
The Indian secretary, Lord George
Hamilton. explained that the relations
between Great Britain and Russia in
China, at one time We're critical. If a
collision had occurred it would have
been difficult to fOresee the ultimate
possible to make a statement until the

that he once had a patent right which
he sold for S65. 600. He stands convicted
here of swindling and has been sen
fenced to thirteen years in the PEN
itentiary.
At noon today Sheriff johnson sent
the following telegram to Omaha:
Dallas, Tex. March Pc. A.
Cudahy. Omaha, Neb.: II C. Hender-
son, now in jail here. confesses to kid
naping your son. he says your son
will identify him. Send your son on
next train. Answer quick.
y. r. JOHNSON,
Sheriff"
When told that the Omaha police dis
credited Henderson's completely in the
Cudahy kidnapping, Sheriff Johnson
said:
Il know he is the right man. His
confession to me is a small item, only
part of the evidence I possess. If
had turned Henderson loose at any time
since his arrest early in February,
am satisfied officers from Omaha would
have grabbed him up and hurried him
there. Mr.. Cudahy will naturally listen
much to the officers of his home town
but he should not be opposed to listen
ing to others
Sheriff Johnson tried to induce Hen
derson to make a statement for the
press. Henderson refused, saying: Il
viii not talk to newspaper men until
after Eddie Cudahy comes and talks
to me- When I have had a talk with
the boy 1 viii then be willing to make
statement for publication"
Sheriff johnson says am 0ng the state
ments made to him by Henderson was
one to the effect that Pat Grove had
no hand in the kidnapping: that the
chief participant in the KIDNAPPING of
young Cudahy is a member of one of
the most prominent families of Omaha
who escaped from prison where he was
serving a fifteen year sentence for rob-
berry several years ago.

London, March 22.-Advices have

Washington March 22-Although the
situation at Tien Tsin was never re

With this exciting issue Withdrawn,

How Sum Will Be Divided.
It is not the intention to divide this
5000, 100000 into as many equal parts
as there are powers, but while dividing
it into eight or ten parts to see TO 1t
that these parts are so prOpOrtOned as
to compensate the powers in accord
ance with the outlay they have been
put to in SupnreSsing the Boxer
troubles. This government would be
willing to a0a.te the $25 000, GOO claim if
the other powers would reduce their
claims in the same proportion, even to
the extent % reducing the total esti-
mate to 500, 0O0,00 if by so doing the
Chinese government could be relieved
by having the tax adjusted to their
abilities.
But although in grave doubt whether
China can pay more than 500, O00, 600
our government feels itself bound TO
secure compensation for its citizens
and itself to the same extent as is Sc
cured by other. powers, and is especial
ly resolved to do this because of the
conviction that a total abandonment
of our claims, or even d heavy reduc-
tiOn, without corresponding action on
the part Of the other powers would
rather injure than help China by de-
strOying whatever restraining infiu-
ence the state department has so far
been able to exert upon less sympa-
