Patrick is Found Guilty.

New York, March 26.-Albert T.
Patrick, lawyer, was this evening
convicted Of the murder on Septem-
Der %, 1900, of the aged millionaire
recluse, William Marsh Rice. The
penalty under the statute is death in
the electric chair.
A scant three hours of elaboration
at the close of trial prolonged for
nine weeks and replete with sensa-
tional interest sufficed to enable the
jury to reach their verdict.
The issue of the trial establishes
the charge that Patrick conspired
with Mr.. Rice's valet, Charles Jones,
to obtain possession OF the aged
Texan estate, estimated to 81, o0O,.
900, and that Jones killed his ELI.
ployer by the administration o
chloroform at the direct instigation
OF Patrick.

HOUSE TO LOOK INTO
BRIBERY CHARGE.
Captain Christmas Statement That
Congressman We're Bought Will
Be PrObed.
Be PrObed.

Washington, March 2T.-Ths house
to-day adopted resolutions offered
oy Mr.. Richardson, of Tennessee, the
Democratic floor leader, instructing
the speaker to appoint a committee
OF seven to investigate the charges
made by Captain Christmas in con.
nection with the purchases of the
Danish West Indies, that of the hall
million which he alleges to be his due
for negotiating the deal a large part
was used in "bribing members ofcon.
gress and other permanent American
citizens, and in substituting the Amer.
lean press"
! The speaker then appointed the
following committee: Dalzell, Pen
nsylvama; Hit, Illinois; Cousins,
Iowa; Mccall, Massachusetts, Repub.
licans; Richardson, Tennessee; Dins.
more, Arkansas, and Cowherd, Mis-
souri,, Democrats.
Directly after the minutes were read
this morning Mr.. Richardson arose
to question of privilege. He had
read from the clerks desk the resolu-
tions named. Mr., Payne, of New
York, the Republican floor leader,
raised n point of order. He said,
sarcastically, that Christmas alleged
report to his government was n
secret one, that the facts are not
known and that a question of privi-
lege cannot be founded thereon. Mr..
Richardson replied with warmth
"Those charges were made by the
diplomatic agent of the Danish gov
eminent, who was also the quasi, if
not the real agent OF our own gev-
ernment,' he said. THE report was
a secret one, but | say, fully realizing
the force of my words, that on my
honor, ! have copy of it,"
"When did the gentlemen examine

was the retort, but that is not the
only way in which to get "a report.
Captain Christmas makes grave
charges and they ought to beinvesti-
gated. | disclaim in this connection
all intention of sparing for any polit-
cal advantage"

Missouri, value per mile 1S,493
But this comparison, bad as it is
for the republicans, is not all. The
Missouri Pacific operates in Missouri
and Kansas, and here are the figures:
Kansas, value per mile s 1892
Missouri, value per mile 1901
And then here is another compare
son that tells the same story. The
Chicago& Alton operates in Missouri
aud Illinois Its lines in the latter
state are greatly enhanced in worth
by the immense value of its terminal
facilities in the city of Chicago. The
Atoms line in Missouri is a mere
branch as compared to its Illinois
property. Here is the record for this
road:
Illinois, value per mile s 9,549
Missouri, value per mile 1904
But there is still another record
which the republicans will be very
slow in bringing to public attention.
Prior to the yeaI of 1898, the street
railways of this state were assessed
by the local assessors, the state
board of equalization making its first
assessment of this property that
year. Let us compare the records of
the republican officials of st. Louis
with that of the democratic board of
equalization;
The state board last year assessed
the street railways of st, Louis at
S1S,675.516.11. The records of the
assessors Office for the city of st.
Louis show that the great railways
ofthat city were assessed by the local
republican assessor for the year 1879
ut 81, 55S, $4,000. So it will be seen
the democratic officials were notice
tent with doubling the assessment
made by the republicans, but they
trebled it,
Instead, therefore, OF the records
sustaining the republican campaign
charge that the democrats have dis
eliminated in favor of the railroads
in making assessments, they show:
First; That the republicans Of Mis-
souri, failed to impose one dollar OF
taxes on these corporations during
the entire six years Of their power.
Second: That the democrats in
creased the assessment OF this prop
erty from nothing over to $50, 00O,-
600 90,
Third; That democratic Missouri
assesses railroad property As per
cent higher than republican Illinois.
Fourth: That democratic Missouri
assesses railroad property GO per
cent higher than republican Kansas.
Fifth That democratic Missouri
assesses railroad property 1870 per
cent higher than rock-ribbed republic
can Iowa.
Sixth: That the democratic state
board of equalization assesses the
street railways OF st. Louis more
than 200 per cent higher than the re-
publican city officials.

REBEL GENERAL CAUGHT.
Noriel Taken While Trying to Reach
Hong Kong.

Manila, March 26.-Capt. Bamford,
OF the 2Sth infantry, has captured
Gen. Noriel, three officers and five
men acting as bodyguards, as the
party was struggling toward the
coast, with the intention of escaping
to Hong Kong, having abandoned
opposition to the Americans. In
Gen. Noriels possession were found
official papers and effects belonging
to Gen. Malvar. Gen. Noriel CON-
manded the southern line at Manila
early in the insurrection, but was
driven southwark.
There is some reason to believe
that one member of this bodyguard
is Gen. Malvar in disguise. Capt.
Bamford is certain that if this gener-
ais not one Of the captured party he
is in the immediate neighborhood OF
the scene of Noriel's capture.
Noriel has been one of the recogniz-
ed leaders of the instruction since
1899. He admits that the insured
ton, as such, is over, and says that
the few remaining leaders are fleeing
as they do not command enough
