Anna Nelson Pulitzer, whose body was
found in the Morris Canal at Jersey
City last Thursday, has been found,
and Is also said to have made con-
fession regarding the killing of Mrs.
Pulitzer In the guise of tramp. he
had been wandering about the country
for several days, when he was arrest.
ed Sunday evening by the Derby po.
lice on suspicion. Although his de-
! scription corresponded closely with
that sent out by the New York officers,
the, prisoner at first denied any con.
nection with the murder, and even
when he was confronted with man
who was formerly a fellow workman
he still denied his identity. But last
evening, upon the arrival of a man
with whom he was intimately &C.
quainted, the prisoner acknowledged
that he is William Hooper Young. He
consented to go back to New York
without requisition papers.
II was to Max Levy, a physical cul.
ture instructor of Brooklyn, and De-
tective Sergeant Edward Hughes, of
New York, that the prisoner admitted
his identity.
Hello, Hooper," exclaimed Levy. as
socn as the prisoner appeared There
was no response and no sign OF recog.
milton from the suspected man, but
when Levy again saluted him, he said
calmly: 81 don't know you"
"Of course you know me-" said Levy.
and. placing his hand on the shoulder
of the prisoner, he spoke in a low tone
for several minutes. The prisoner
said: "You should be sure of your iden.
tifcation. This is u terrible crome for
which I am held"
The officer told the prisoner for
mally the reason for his arrest and
the nature of the crime Of which he Is
suspected. The prisoner then for the
first time admitted that he was Will
liam Hooper Young. He talked with
the officer regarding his return to
New York. and expressed a willingness
to go back at once without reQuisition
papers.
During the interview with the Off
GERS which followed he is said to have
made a confession regarding the crime.
The exact nature OF this confession was
not made public. II was said that
Young had spoken of an accomplice.
but one of the officers when questioned
about this replied: "If you say simply
that confession has been made you
will tell the whole story"
From another apparently reliabl
source. however, came the information
that Young did say that he had an &C.
complice.

1T means, unless we are unwise
enough to interrupt and interfere with
the tide which is carrying us forward
that this is in the near future to be a
country Of immense wealth, teeming
with happy and prosperous people.
The great centres of population which
have arisen along the Thames and
Seine will be dwarfed in comparison
with those which will be found along
the Hudson and the Delaware. The
development we have seen within the
last few years around Pittsburg and
on the Pennsylvania Railroad outside
of Philadelphia, where farm lands
have risen in brief period from a
hundred to thousands of dollars per
acre in value, is but a manifestation
of what is sure to happen in many
other localities. unless we ourselves
by unwisdom prevent It.
"The Democrats themselves partici.
pate in the welfare which everywhere
exists, and are enjoying the benefits
which have resulted from the admins
trations of Mckinley and Roosevelt.
1t is doubtful whether they, unless 1t
be the few who are only anxious about
the Offices. really want change, and
II they do. they ought in all kindness
to be protected from the Consequences
of their want Of good judgment. For
the Republicans Of Pennsylvania to
fail would be in the present, as 1t has
been in the past, the first step in a
career of disaster which would inflict
Unreasonable injury upon the whole
American people, Republicans and
Democrats alike"

GEN. cHAFFEE ENDORSED.
The American Chamber of Commerce
Wishes to COunteract the Opinion That
Our Soldiers Are Cruel

Manila, April 30.-The American
chamber of commerce has passed a
resolution indorsing the action Of the
United States army in the Philippines
in an endeavor to counterfeit what
the members of the chamber believe
to be the opinion prevailing in the
United States that officers and sol
diers have acted in violation of the
rules of war. The preamble says
the chamber is composed exclusively
OF American business men, who have
been thrown into immediate contact
with the prevailing conditions every
where in the archipelago, and it was
resolved that without the constant
watchfulness and protection of the
army in the Philippines no property
or business interests would be safe
and that upon its influence depends
the stability of the civil government.

shot and instantly killed Isaiah Ed

Cured after a long and pleasant con-
versation between the two, and so far
as can be learned, without warming
or provocation. Pollett is well-ed-

age of negro preachers in intelligence
and behavior. Edminston, while more
on the plantation pattern, was also
fairly educated. PoIlett, after the
killing, walked over to the Jail, about
