HANSBERRY'S MONEY.
A Registered Letter Supposed to Have
Contained Some.

When John Hansberry was robbed of
500 on March q. while visiting an East
Galena street resort. the police arrested
Marguerite Allen, white woman, and
Nellie Brooks. a colored woman, and
charged them with the theft. From them
$336.1O was recovered and Chief Lavell
learned that on the day of the robbery
the colored woman had sent a register
ed letter to Chicago.
With the aid of the postmaster Chief
Lavell succeeded in intercepting the let
ter before it reached it's destination and
it was returned to Butte last night. When
opened it was found to contain two $40
bills.
The fact that the bills are Of the same
denomination as those lost by Hansber-
ry leads to the suspicion that they were
a part of the 500 roll but as money
cannot be identified the chances are that
the registered letter will not have much
bearing on the case.
Iansberry conducts a ranch in the
neighborhod of Pony and ON March 26
came to Butte. He visited the Allen
woman and claims to have lost 500 in
$50 bills, while there. He did not re-
port the case to the police until the next
day, giving the thieves "a hours in which
to dispose of their ill-gotten gains. Aft
err the two women were arrested Detec-
tive Murphy learned that the white wom-
an had given her pocket book to her
landlady for safe keeping. The officer
secured the book and found that it con-
tanned $27610. of which $500 was in $40
bills. From the colored woman he Sc
cured $50 of which $40 was in $50 bills.
When it was found that the latter had
sent a registered letter to Chicago the
police thought that it contained the bal
ance of the money. The fact that it only
contained $40 was a disappointment to
the police.
The case is in tie hands of the coun-
ty authorities but at the present time
the defendants are out on bonds.

The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1901-02-14

By standing together in their opposi.
ton to the ship subsidy bill, the demo-
cratic and populist senator's have forced
the republicans to change their tactics.
They began the fight last week by
clustering and Dragging about how
easy they would tire out the opposition
by night sessions. After holding two
night sessions, at neither of which q
republican a quorum was maintained,
they abandoned the night sessions,
and are now seeking to caiole the OPP
position into agreeing TO set time fol
voting on the bill. While it is impOs
sible to say with any degree OF certain
ty what the result of this change o
tactics will be Senator Jones, who il
leading the opposition, says the bill
will not be voted upon at this session
and that If the republicans are determ
med to pass it they must do so at a
extra session Of the next congress.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1901-02-14

The administration received q broad
side from its own ranks, when Repre-
sentative Brown, of Ohio, a republican,
made vigorous attack upon the pres
ont Philippine policy, and offered a
resolution declaring shat is the pur-
pose of the United States in retaining
possession of the Philippine islands to
aid their inhabitants when they submit
to the authority of the United States
in establishing capable and stable
free government, and when this pur-
pose shall be fully accomplished the
United States under such reservations
and conditions as may be wise and just
will relinquish sovereignty in those
islands" incidentally Mr.. Brown re-
ferred to the idea held by some of
breaking our pledge given to Cuba as
the "climax of greed and the doctrine
of freebooters and pirates.

Defeat Of the Peeler Bill.

DR.. E. E. Hoss, editor OF the Chris
tian Advocate and Treasurer Of the
anti-Saloon League. in answer to re-
quest from the Nashville Banner for a
statement concerning the action Of the
senate on the Peeler bill, said:
"It is known to my friends and ac-
quaintances that while always on OPP
ponent OF the liquor business, an
anxious to restrict it in every way, l
have never been an advocate of extreme
measures. When the third party was
organized in this state 1 disapproved
of it, and declined to connect myself
with it. Ny belief was then, and is
now, that sooner or later the greater
body Of intelligent and moral people
can get what legislation they desire
through the agency Of the existing par
ties. A number Of my friends have
criticised me very severely for taking
such an attitude, and some Of them
have even gone 80 far as charge me
with lukewarmness in the good cause
But 1 have been content to wait fol-
time to vindicate the wisdom of my
course. Nothing has happened L
shake my convictions. Nevertheless
the action of the senate on the PeeleI
bill makes it proper that l should speal
out.
"As to the meaning Of this bill Their
can be no mistake. The ultimate de
sign Of it was to extend the operation
of the four-mile law to towns and cite
of 5000 inhabitants, yet not to do 8
without giving the cities an opportuni
ty to express their wishes on the sub
iect at the polls. In form, however, ]
provided for nothing more than a
election on the question of surround
ing existing charters reincorating I'm
der the general law of 1899. 1t wa
not local option bill, because it doe
not contemplate the delegation Of leg
islative functions to the people, but e1
pressly reserved all such functions il
the hands of the legislature. The vot
of the people under this bill, if it ha
passed, would not have been conclusiv
of any thing, but would simply hav
been Of the nature Of o request an
recommendation.

Mckinley is pulling for an extra ses-
sion, provided, of course, that valid
excuse can be put forward for calling
one, and the republican leaders in the
senate are pulling to avoid an extra
session by leaving no valid excuse for
one. An amendment has already been
offered to the army appropriation bill
by Senator Spooner giving Mckinley
authority to establish civil government
in the Philippines, and one is now be-
ing prepared setting forth conditions
that Cuba must comply with to get the
United States troops withdrawn.

Senator Bacon tells an amusing and
instructive story of the methods of leg
islation in the Mexican congress
methods which the republicans have
already introduced in one branch Of
our congress. Speaking of his visit to
the lower house of the Mexican con-
gress Senator Bacon said: 81 went
there day after day and never saw a
member rise and address the chair.
Bill after bill was passed without vote
in the negative and without word OF
discussion. / became very much in
terested in this state of affairs, and not
being able to speak Spanish, / inquired
of gentleman at the door who spoke
English, to explain the situation to me.
oh he replied, there is no need for
any debate. These bills are sent to us
by the president and he tells us that he
wants them passed. When he lets us
know that he is in favor of the bills we
are in favor of them, too"

It's too late to quarantine after small

THE VITAL FACT.

"This is the vital fact, and 1t can moi
be obscured by any rant and rubbish
about the wrong of sumptuary enact
ments, the failure OF prohibition to
prohibit or other stuff. The bold,
bald fact is that the senate has refused
to allow the municipalities of the state
to say whether or not they shall be
cursed with the saloon, and has said to
them: we have put the saloon on
you; you may squirm and kick as much
as you please, but we are going to keeT
it there. The issue is thus made dis.
tinctly and squarely, and will be fought
out TO the bitter end. II anybody sup
poses that this is the last OF it he might
as well rid himself of the delusion al
once.
SENATOR'S OFFENSIVE REMARKS.
"While the discussion was going on
in the senate number OF the senator's,
including Cox, Bean, Davis, Peake and
Howell took occasion to read some leo
lures to the ministers Of the city who
had been audacious enough to say
enough to show their interest in the
bill by venturing into the state house.
Senator Howell was particularly often.
sive in his remarks, and went the
length of saying that many minister:
are to honest TO steal and too lazy to
work. This aemark was greeted with
applause. Now, I have no wish tc
speak fsr my brethren. But as far as
am personally concerned / desire to
say to Mr.. Howell that / am born
Tennessean, the son, grandson, great
grandson aud great-great-grandson Of
other Tennesseans and have never for.
feited my rights Of citizenship in thii
state, and that I resent his course and
fling it back in his face.
