MRS. PAULY'S STATEMENT,

Mrs. John Pauy. of 929 Colorado street,
called at the Inter Mountain to-day and
as a correction of what has been hereto
fore published relative to the trouble ex-
listing between herself and the Rooney
family of the same neighborhood. stated
that there was no truth in the statement
that she had challenged Mrs. Rooney to
fight. but on the contrary, that the chal-
lenge came from Mrs. Rooney's boys. She
also stated that the trouble arose about
six months ago over some fruit of hers
that had been meddled with by the
Rooney boys and others. She further
stated that at the time the trouble arose
about the fruit. she offered to settle with
Mrs. Roney in peaceful way and with
out taking the matter into the courts;
that Mrs. Rooney. instead of settling
for the damage done by her boys, wanted
to fight and slapped Mrs. Pauly in the
face in Mrs. Rooney's house. Whereupon
Mrs. Pauly arose and left. Since that
time Mrs. Pauly claims that ill feeling has
existed on the part of the Rooney's to-
ward her and that the late outbreak was
caused by Mrs. Pauly having the Rooney
boys arrested for throwing stones at her
residence. Mrs. Pauly also alleges that
there is no truth in the statement that
she had thrown hot ashes on the legs Of
Mrs. Rooney'S horse.

CUBANS ARE HESITATING

THE PLATT AMENDMENT.
Radicals Now Seemingly Not Anxious
To Provoke Rupture with
the United States.

HAVANA. March 1.-THE committee on
foreign relations of the Cuban constitu-
tional convention informally discussed the
Platt amendment to-day. No decisive poll
cy was outlined and the committee prob
ably will not report until after a conference
with the other delegates. There is no una
nimity in the committee as to what action
should be taken regarding the amendment.
Even the extreme radicals seem TO hesitate
TO take a vigorous attitude. Either body
is hopeful that something may happen to
bring about a solution.

Sir Michael Hicks-Beach Tells the
EOre Money Than Victoria.

LONDON, March lin the House of
Commons to-day Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
chancellor of the exchequer, when NOV
ing the appointment of a select committee
to consider the new civil list. conveyed a
hint that an increase in the civil list
might be expected. He said that while pro-
posals would be based on the late Queen
Victoria's civil list, it must be remembered
that King Edward had a Queen consort.
and that he was not only King of the
United Kingdom, but the head of a world
wide power. In the previous reigns the
Parliament had been asked to pay the
debts of the sovereign, but no such appli-
cation was ever made by Queen Victoria
The country might look forward with con-
fidence to King Edward. who has for many
years occupied an exceptional position, in
volving exceptional expenditures His in

that of some private individuals, had suf-
feed him TO perform his duties in a man
ner which had won the gratitude OF the
country. The proposals would be framed
in a spirit of justice TO the crown and peo-
pie.

ent. The committee was then appointed.

influence i'm our Nations councils. Why
should there not be return of those days?
The answer TO this question is not found
in less applicability than formerly of DEM
ccratic doctrine to present conditions. on
the contrary there never was a time when
they were more needed TO cure evils which
affiict our body political, and there never
was time when our countrymen would be
more willing TO accept Democracy they
once knew it, as a safeguard against ex-
listing and threatening ills. am convinced,
however. that if our party is to gain its
old prestige. and become again strong
and vigorous organization feared by its
enemies and inspiring the active devotion
of its rank and file, it must, first of all
things, itself become truly. honestly and
consistently Democratic
Mr.. HILL in his letter. said: I'm this time
of dire defeat. when the shouts of the vic
torious hosts of plutocracy, commercialism
and Imperialism at their recent inaugural
festivities at the national capital are still
ringing in our ears, we should remember
that the darkest hour is often times just
before the dawn of day. We should
conciliate, rather than antagonize, the
great business interests of the country, and
this can easily be accomplished without the
surrender of a single essential principle"

the search for bodies and said: Ihe un-
derstanding OF the fire department Is that
all the injured and dead have been recov-

there was entirely extinguished, and with
the recovery of all dead bodies and injured
persons our work ceased and the firemen
withdrew. Ny men did not desert the scene
until they had been informed that there
was nothing else for them to do"
Both the police and firemen remained
firm and refused to continue the search
for bodies. While the firemen maintained
that all the bodies had been recovered, the
police asserted that this fact had not been
established and Police Lieutenant O'Hara
said that the general understanding was
that there were more bodies in the ruins.

Paralysis i'm Wisconsin.

CHICAGO, March n.-All to-day the en-
tire Northwest was still cut off from tele-
graph and telephone communication with
the rest of the world. The seet storm,
which was the worst ever experienced in
this section, accompanied by a northeast
gale, leveled practically all wires between
Chicago and st. Paul. The telegraph COM
panies, without exception, reported abso-
lutte inability to handle the briefest mes
sage for that section. and news service to
papers throughout Wisconsin and portions
of Iowa and Minnesota was limited TO re-
ports transmitted by mail and express. All
railroads suffered almost complete pa
ralysis of telegraph service. The Chicago
& Northwestern Railroad lost about 137
miles of poles and wires, chiefly in Wis
consin, and the Chicago, Milwaukee & ST.
Paul Railroad suffered greatly, although
there was no serious delay to the running
of trains.
Milwaukee had no communication with
the rest of the world all Sunday. Officials
Of the telegraph companies there reported
that between 600 and 200 poles are down be-
tween Milwaukee and Chicago, and that it
will take large number Of men several
days to repair the damage and restore the
service to normal condition.
