WANT THEIR MONEY BACK
HOLDERS OF CUBAN BONDS SKIR-
MISHING AT WASHINGTON.
They Desire Congress to Force the

ton Holders of the Cuban war bonds IS
sued by Spain to raise funds for the pros
ecution of the wars in Cuba are again
moving to get their money back. In Cuba
the bondholders have met with defeat. The
draft of the constitution now being consid-
cred shuts out any possibility of compro-
mise on these bonds, but has left the way
open for the payment of the bonds of the
Republic of Cuba issued by the junto. 1t
is said here by men high in the govern
ment that an effort will be made when the
constitution Is submitted to Congress for
its approval to amend the constitution so
as to open the door to a consideration by
the Cuban government, when formed, of
the claims under the Cuban debt.
THE Cuban debt, according to one esti-
mate. amounts TO 1891. zoe. 900, and according
TO another estimate to s455, 200, 900. At the
conclusion of the ten years war it was
$40. 10000. portion of this debt is un-
derstood TO have been paid off. and the rest
of it refunded, and bonds for S12i, 900 900
were issued. While an effort was being
made to pay off these bonds out of the
customs of Cuba a newt issue OF s175. O00, 900
was authorized with view TO refundng all
previous debts. Only a small portion of
these bonds had been sold when the last
instruction began. Then bonds to the
extent of S171. 100000 were issued for the
purpose of raising war funds. Subsequent
ly Cuban war emergency loan was float

on Cuba. This was rejected by the>Amer-

PRIMARY ELECTION BILL.


MADISON. Wis, Jan. pa primary
election bill was introduced in both houses
of the Legislature tonight and referred
TO committees on privileges and elections.
The author of the bill is Assemblyman z.
Ray Stevens. The bill as presented meets
the views OF the Governor. 1t is believed
to be the most complete primary election
measure ever drafted in this country. Cau-
cuses and conventions are entirely aboi-
ished by the bill and all nominations are
made by the direct vote Of the electors.
No person can be nominee unless he has
received signatures to a petition with the
names OF 2 per cent. of the voters Of his
party. the signers distributed not to
represent one locality. Political organiza-
tons are not in the least disturbed, though
the people by direct vote choose their party
leaders. The party platforms framed
by the state and legislative candidates and
must all be made public by certain day.
Presidential electors are chosen by the
state central committee and national dele
gates are elected at the spring election by
direct vote of the people.
The bill tends to perpetuate nonpolitical
judicial nominations, all judges being
placed on tickets by petition. Town, viii
lage and school meetings are not affected
by the law and will be conducted under the
present system.

FULL PENALTY FOR ALL
M'ALIsTER, CAMPBELL AND DEATH
MAY EACH GET THIRTY YEARS,
Confendre to the Charge of Rape,
May Receive Fifteen Years.

PATERSON, n. j.. Jan. 2S-George ].
Kerr, who was jointly indicted with Nc
Alister, Campbell and Death on charge
of rape and murder in the first degree. IN
connection with the death of Jennie Boss
chieter. was unexpectedly brought into
court to-day before Judge Dixon, when he
pleaded non vult to the charge of rape.
John NJ. Harding, counsel for the prisoner.
addressed the court and said that Kerr was
not present when the Knockout drops
were administered to Jennie Bosschieter
and neither did he assault the girl when
she was taken from the carriage on the
Rock road. Counsel said he hoped the
prosecutor would take this into considera-
ton and accept plea of non vult. Public
Prosecutor Emley said that while he had
made every preparation TO place Kerr on
trial on the indictment found against him,
he felt inclined to accept the plea of non
vult, in view of the statements made by
counsel as to Kerr's connection with the
girls death, which seemed to be corrobo-
rated by the general facts of the case.
Prosecutor Emley announced to-day that
he would have McAlister Kerr. Campbell
and Death arraigned in court tomorrow
nounced at once. 1t is the general opinion
here that all the prisoners, except Kerr,
will receive the extreme penalty for murder
In the second degree. of which they were
convicted. The full penalty is thirty years
Imprisonment at hard labor. 1t is also be-
Eeved that Kerr will be sentenced TO the
full penalty of the law on the charge to
which he has pleaded non vult, which IS
fifteen years Imprisonment at hard labor
Kerr's plea of non vult contendere to the
charge of rape has the same effect as a
plea of guilty, although, technically, it is
not an admission of the crime. In effect
il is the announcement that no defense
would have been offered on trial. In view
of the acceptance of this plea on the
charge of rape, Kerr will not be called on
to answer to the Indictment accusing him
of murder.
accepted the plea of non vult, referred to
the trial of McAlister, Death and Camp
bell and said that If he had been on the
jury that tried them he would have found
q verdict of murder in the first degree
Judge Dixon said that as far as Kerr was
concerned the prosecutor had no evidence
by which he could connect him with the
drugging of Jennie Bosschieter. Conse-
quently the charge of murder was elm
mated from the indictment. The Judge
said that Sculthorpe, the hackman, was
come forward and told a true story of what
had occurred on the night of the murder
On account of this action the prosecutor
had very properly decided not to prosecute
him.
Campbell's sister Is circulating petition
which will be presented to Judge Dixon
asking for clemency for her brother.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-President Alexander
j. Jones, of the sanitary district. when adj
vised of the Supreme Courts adverse de-
cision, said: THE decision is somewhat
of a surprise to us. but, after all, it simply
means that the case must now be tried on
its merits. Henceforth the inquiry will be
directed to the question of whether or not
the opening of the channel and the NOV
Ting of Chicago's sewage down the ILL
nois and Mississippi rivers has really re-
suited in the pollution of st. Louis's water
supply. If so, equity will justify the griev-
ance of st. Louis and the State of Mis-
souri, and the sanitary district Will have
to find some remedy to prevent further
pollution. The sanitary district of Chica-
go has expended s3f000.00 in the abiding
faith that flowing water purifies by the
principles of oxidation; and to dispute this
is to dispute what we contend is an ac-
knowledged scientific facial least ac-
knowledged by scientists the world over,
except those of st. Louis. The sanitary dis
trict will stand or fall by this principle;
and we are prepared to face the issue
in the United States courts of equity.
which are now opened to the complaints of
the citizens of st. Louis and the State of
