of the Murderers.
 Pittsfeld, Feb 5.-Lawyer Taylor of St Louis and Mrs R. L. Fosburg, mother of the young man accused of killing his sister, returned late last night from three days trip to Provi- dence, Pawtucket and Taunton, and announced what appears to be the definite theory of the Fosburg family and their supporters in relation to the Identity of the burglars who killed May Fosburg on the morning of Au- gust 20.
 They interviewed the three men in prison and one of them, Hackett, was extremely nervous. Hackett is a typ ical confidence man. He expressed great sorrow over Miss Fosburgh's $ death, and said he regretted he did not possess information to lead to the con yiction of the person guilty of this di- aboHcal deed. When asked when they first arrived in Pittsfeld and how long they remained. Hackett said they reached Pittstield on August 1G in time for breakfast, and remained all day going about town. That evening the gang went to Housatonic and remained there and in Nandoussnvilla until Sat urday morning, August IS, when they returned to Pittsfield, and, after spend ing 8 part of the day here, went to North Adams.
 There, they claimed, they rented a room on Holden street, and remained in the room over Saturday night. Sun day evening. August 19, they went out to mill in Zylonite, about 8 o'clock. to steal what brass and copper they could.
 He said they stayed around the mill all night and worked until q little after o'clock, when they postponed operations until daylight.

ONE YEAR AGO TO-DAY.
Chicago Building Trades, Including
 3O,OOO Men, Went on Strike.

3O, ,OOO Men, W ent on Str1ke. Chicago, Feb 5.-To-day Is the an niverSaly of the calling of the big strike in the Chicago building trades, and the trouble is not settled. It has been one of the most remarkable STug- gies in the annals of labor. inc great interests and the large number of men involved, and the fact that nearly the entire building operations Of so large a city were kept at a stand still for year show the magnitude of the strike. The terrorizing of the city by riots and assaults for q time was another feature which has left a vivid impression.
 It is believed by contractors, archi- tects and owners that, although final settlement agreements have not been reached with number of the trades, the blight of the past year will be raised at the opening of the coming building season.
 By the strike 3O,OO0 men in the building industry were kept out of employment and 10000 in the trades manufacturing building material. Most of these were able to keep their fam flies from suffering by doing odd jobs at anything which offered. It is esti- mated that S5O,OOO,OOO in contracts for buildings and in plans in the archi- tect's offices were held up for year by the trouble.

United States, Russia, France and
 Japan Usually in the Minority.
 Washington, Feb 5.-Germany is per- sisting in her demand that the death penalty be imposed upon Prince Yuan, General Tung, Flu Hsiang and Duke Lan. She is pursuing this course not withstanding that some of the powers which have hitherto supported her have announced their willingness to agree to proposal requiring China to punish these three officials ''as se- verely as possible Official informa- ton to this effect has been received in Washington, and the defection in Germanyss support is encouraging to the Washington officials.
 Minister Conger's dispatches have made it plain that he is laboring under B serious disadvantage in the negotia- tiOnS. Almost every move Germany makes is supported by Austria, Italy, Belgium and Spain, and the vote of each counts just as much as the vote Of the United States or Russia. Be sides these powers, Great Britain usually sides with Germany in the lar ger questions. leaving the United St3tes, Russia, France and Japan in the minority.

 Albany, Feb 5.-Assemblyma Wau- hope, Lynn, formerly a New York city judge, tonight introduced his first bill, which he declares to be in the interests of public health, but which is aimed at newspapers throughout the state.

TEACHERS ARE SCARCE.
The Prevailing Sickness Has Laid a
 Number of Them Off.


 \ number of the teachers in inc public schools have been indisposed during the past several weeks and the number of substitutes has been found to be too small. Consequently the Du-. pills of the training school have been called upon to show their ability as instructors of the rising generation. Some complaint is being. found on this account. The regular substitutes. of whom there are about seven, receive pay for substituting, but the young la- diers connected with the training school do not receive any fecompense whatsoever in return for their ser vices. not even their car fare. Many people think that the board of edu- cation should pay the young ladies just the same as they pay a substitute, or at least they should furnish them car tickets. Others contend that the teachers whose places the substitutes fill temporarily should recompenss, them. while another class clings to the opinion that substituting is good for the training school teachers, that 1t furnishes them with an opportunity to become experienced with the regular work of teacher and to become ac- quainted with the dolngs of children. This last class holds fast to the old adage, Experience is the best teach- er.'' But if one of this class had to walk from Bishop street over to the Barnard school or out to the Hem dricken school on one of these cold mornings, he might be persuaded tu think otherwise.
