"Anarchlst Queen Arrested.

under whose red banner Leon
Czolgocz claims he stands, whose
wotds he claims fired his heart
and his brain to attempt the as
sassinstion of the President, was
arrested hero shortly before noon
today.
She discIaimed all but tho slight
est acquaintance with the Presl-
dents assailant; she denied abso-
luteIy that she or any Anarchists
she knew were implicated in any
plot to kill the President. She
said she believed Czolgocz acted
entirely on his own responsibility,
and that he never claimed to have
been Inspired by her, Us he is
quoted as affirming.
The President, she averrsd,
with yawn, was an insignificant
being to her, a mere human atom,
whose life or death were matter s
of supreme indifference to her or
to any Anarchist. Czolgocz's act
was foolish, yet she declared it
probably had it's inspiration in
the misery which tho Psle had
seen about him. Violence, she
said, was not a tenet in the faith
of the Anarchist, and she had not
advocated it in Cleveland, where
Czolgocz had said he heard her,
nor elsewhere.

GRANDMOTHER AT 26 YEARS
Story of Girl Who Married Whom
II Years Old.

WALHALLA, S. O., April 13.-It is re-
ported by reliable authority that there is
a woman living in the mountains of
this (Oconee) county who is 26years old
and has IA children, all living, and one
grandchild. The woman married when
only l 1 years old and has enjoyed re.
markable health ever since.
1t is wonderful how these mountain
people ignore the law, yet they attach
very little Importance to any of the
laws. They do just as they feel inclined
to do, regardless of the results, and it ia
very seldom that when any one violates
the law it is ever known outside of their
mountain settlement, and while this
woman has been married for 15 years it
has very recently reached the outside
world. 1t is doubtful if there is SINH.
lar case anywhere on record.

LOST GOLD CHUTE FOUND
The Ore Assays From $500 to $40, 900
Ton.


GAINESVILLE, Ga, April 13.-Captain
j. W. Adams of the Consolidated Gold
Mining Company, has arrived here and
reports the finding of the celebrated
''Finley chute,' in Lumpkin county,
near Dahlonega, which has been lost for
many years. It was found by ]. B.
Witt, who has the property leased for
SIX months and who, by his discovery,
becomes rich man.
The ''Findley chute" is the richest
vein that was ever known in this coun.
try. When it was mined, and before
being lost, it yielded $500, 900 to its
owners, $500, 900 of which was taken
out before the war. 1t was lost and not
until quite recently was any trace of it
ever discovered. Miners and inspectors
have gone all around about it. all to no
avail
The Findley mine is now owned by
the Consolidated Gold Mining company.
A few months ago it was leased to
Campbell % Witt, two local mining
men, who worked the property with the
nope OF finding the celebrated chute.
After exhausting about all their funds,
Campbell became discouraged and threw
up the sponge, but still retained his In
terest in the lease. Witt was discour.
aged, too, but determined to try one
more "shot. What was the result?
The celebrated chute was found and
made him wealthy man. Today he is
as busy as bee taking out the richest
ore, which assays from $500 to SIC, 900
per ton. His lease expires within go
days and he cannot secure q renewal. so
he is working like trojan to get all he
can while his time lasts.
When the chute was lost years ago
the miners had worked it to a depth of
150 feet. 1t had been followed down an
incline shaft for that distance when
suddenly it disappeared. It's recent dis
covery proves that it dropped back
few feet to the right and again takes up
the same lead as before. At present the
Consolidated company have sunk down
300 feet and will work the chute to a
depth of 700 feet. 1t is zigzag in shape
and cones project right and left, each
weighted down with barnacles of pure
gold. Although the vein is perhaps
feet IN width. the richest ore ls confined
to space of about l foot. It is esti-
mated that if the vein yields in proper
tioN as it goes deeper, as it has done so
far, the mine will yield at depth of 700
feet something like 81, 400, 900.

CANAL SITUATION

THE ATTITUDE OF MR.. HAY

Secretary of State Now Consulting
With Senator'S to Ascertain if 1t is
Possible to Agree Upon Basis of a
New Treaty.
WASHINGTON, April 13-There is au-
thority for the following statement of
the Panama negotiations:
After the adjournment of the senate
and the lapse of the Hay -Pauncefote
treaty, Secretary Hay decided to pursue
the subject no further; but to avoid the
possibility of another failure, for the
same reasons as brought about the loss
OF the Hay ,Pauncefote treaty, the Sec
retary determined to reverse the usual
method of procedure in framing the
treaties. He therefore concluded to first
consult the ratifying power, the United
States senate, to ascertain if it was DOS.
slbIe Tor the senators TO agree on the
basis of treaty which would be at the
same time acceptable to the executive
branch of this government and Great
Britain. 1t it is realized that unless
two-thirds at least of the senate could
po UrOugnG into agreement III advance
upon the basis of the treaty. it would be
perfectly useless for the executive to
embark in negotiations with Great Brit
ain for the formation of another conven.
ton.
Secretary Hay is devoting himself now
to the ascertainment of the feelings and
desires of the senators, and consequent
ly, not having completed this work, he
has not begun negotiations with Great
Britain for a new treaty.
1t follows, negotiations not having
been started, that nothing has passed
between the governments of the United
States and Great Britain respecting a
quid pro quo to be demanded by Great
Britain in consideration of the release
of the United States from the restric-
tions imposed by the Clayton Bulwer

OUR JOCKEYS NOT "IN IT."
Interesting Result of An American
Invasion OF England.


LONDON, April 1S.-rhe friends of
the American jockeys now in England
are so far badly disappointed at the sea.
sons work. Not single American ap-
peared at Leicester yesterday. L. Reiff
has lost 10 out of 90 races, J. Reiff 81
out of 36 and Maher 16 out of 20.
These failures are varlously attributed
to the fact that most of the English
Jockeys have adopted the American
style of riding or to the immature con-
ditions of the American mounts.
One of the interesting results of the
American invasion is the appearance ON
the turf of new racing saddle, with
sliding stirrups, which is warranted to
give a jockey an American seat without
effort on his part. The stirrup straps
work on much the same principle as the
V-shaped American fasteners, and the
inventor of the new saddle claims that
it automatically changes the riders
weight from the front to the rear, and
vice versa, giving all the advantage of
the American style of riding.
