eral Payne and other postal officials.
They asked that this government

tinued by joint action of both gov

erninents. The American officials
will be authorized to remain if they
wish to do so until the Cuban regime
is working smoothly.

LAID TO REST.
The Body of Cecil HhOdes is Placed
I'm IA Rock Tomb on MntOppos EIIII.

Buluwayo, April 11.-Amid an i'm
mense throng of soldiers, civilians
and natives the body of Cecil Rhodes
was yesterday committed to its rock
tomb in the Matoppos hills. The
coffin was shrouded in union jack
and the wreath sent by Queen Alex
andria was laid upon it as it was
lowered into the grave. The process
sion was five miles long.
When the procession was a mile
from the grave everybody dismount-
ed and concluded the journey on
foot. Twelve oxen hauled the coffin
to the almost inaccessible summit of
the kopie, where the chiefs Shembli,
Faku and Umgula and 1000 natives
had assembled to witness the Chris
tian interment rites, which they af
forwards supplemented in their own
fashion by the sacrifice of II oxen to
the shade of the great dead chief.

UNJUST RATES.
Hearings on Bills TO Amend Inter-
Stnte Commerce LAW.

Washington, April 12.-The senate
committee on Interstate commerce
Friday gave hearing on the Elkins
and Nelson bills to amend the inter-
state commerce law. +. =. Bacon,
chairman of the committee of the
Interstate commerce convention held
at St. Louis, November 20, 1900, made
quite an elaborate explanation of
both bills. He criticized the present
law, saying that the delays before
the commission and the courts made
it impracticable for business men to
undertake prosecutions of the rail-
roads for unjust rates and discrimi-
nations.
B. \. Eckhart, president of the
Millers' association, favored the Nell
son bill and complained of the dis
elimination by railroads against
flour as compared with wheat.
Aaron Jones, grand master of the
National Grange, spoke in favor of
the Nelson bill, and George f. Meade,
of the New England Manufacturing
association, advocated the Elkins bill.
j. b. Daish, of this city, appeared for
the Hay Dealers and urged that more
power be given the Interstate COM
merce commission

Testimony is AIIIn.

Manila, April 1.-THE members of
the courtmartial trying Maj. Waller,
of the marine corps, on the charge of
executing natives of Samar, without
trial, were handed the records of Bal
angiga, island of Samar, yesterday.
They were mostly a series of letters
from the insurgent Gen. Lukban, in
forming the officials of certain facts
and congratulating them on vic
tory. There was one from Gueverra,
the insurgent leader, telling the of
ticials not to give out certain details,
as it was contrary to the laws of
war. One letter was from the presi-
dent of Balingaga, addressed to Lux
ban, saying he had agreed on the
policy of doing what the Americans
liked and then, when the opportunity
offered, rising against them. Counsel
notified the court that they had fin
ished with their witnesses and the
court was requested to allow Maj.
Waller to speak to-day before the
regular addresses of counsel.

MISS STONE ARRIVES.
She Says tho Brigands WHO Held Her
Captive Were Not So Fierce They
Might Have Been.

New York, April 11.-Nliss Ellen NJ.
Stone, the missionary who was cap
tured by brigands in Bulgaria and
held for ransom, arrived here yes
terday on the Deutchland. She was
met at the steamers pier by her
brother and many other relatives
and friends. Miss Stone said the
brigands were not so fierce as might
have been imagined. They said many
insulting things, but never struck or
beat either her or her companion,
Nine. Tsilka.
There have been several reports
printed which stated that Nine
Tsilka had been held for ransom by
our captors," said Miss Stone, but

reason that the brigands of Turkey
believe that a curse will settle on
them if they do harm to "A child or

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
While Looking for "A Murderer "a Socs
Ond Victim Is Found.

Detroit, Mich, April 11.-While the
police were bending all efforts early
yesterday toward running down the
slayer of Mis- Jennette, whose mn-
tilated body was found on Thirteenth
street Wednesday night, u second
brutal murder was discovered. The
body of George Henry Heygood was
found lying in pool Of blood on the
sidewalk on Amherst street, half
block west of junction avenue, at
$50 o'clock yesterday morning, a
deep cash over the left eye from
which the brains oozed, telling the
cause of death.
An examination of Heywood's body
showed that robbery was not the
motive. There was but the one
wound, evidently made with a heavy
blunt instrument, as it penetrated
the skull and left an ugly cut. De-
tectives were Immediately put to
work on the case and they arrested
William f. Jones, a roomer in Hey
woods house. The two men are said
to have quarreled frequently.
The police admit that they have not
reached solution of the murder of
Haywood. \ "sweatboX" eXamina-
tion lasting all day and last evening
failed to bring from Jones any dam
aging admissions.
Miss Jennett attended lodge
meeting and was killed while return
ing home.
Detroit, April 12.-After "a hours
spent in the Grand River avenue po-
lice station, Prof. Joseph NJ. Miller
broke down yesterday and confessed
that he murdered Miss Carrie NJ.
Jennett, one of his former pupils last
Wednesday night with the small
hatchet which was found in his
kitchen Thursday night with blood
stains upon it. Yesterday afternoon
warrant was issued for him in the
police court and he was arraigncd
there at 4 o'clock. He waived an ex-
animation and was committed to Jail
without bail.
His confession is an awful story of
impending disgrace and finally MUIR
der as means of averting it. lie
admitted that there had been illicit
relations between Miss Jennett and
himself for the past two years, and
said it was the result of these rela-
tions that led him to kill her. The
girl was in a delicate condition. She
refused to go to a lying-in hospital,
as he wished her to, and demanded
that he abstain his family and leave
the city with her.

DUN & CO.'S WEEKLY REPORT.
Manufacturing IS Active, Despite OF
Strife Between Employe and Em-

New York. April 12.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Good news predominates in the busi-
ness world Notwithstanding two
somewhat serious drawbacks. Wealth
er conditions have been unsatisfac-
tory at many points, retarding retail
distribution, and excessive rain has
put many southern planters behind
with work in the cotton fields. Still
more of handicap is the strife be-
tween wage-earners and employer.
Manufacturing is exceptionally ac-
tive in lines not disturbed by strikes
and there is a vigorous movement in
goods through regular channels. At
the close of last week negotiations
were concluded for a large sale of
pig iron at $l6.50, furnace, deliveries
beginning in October and covering
six months.
Not only pig iron, but bars, billets
and structural shapes are all sold so
far ahead that new business is com
paratively light, although consumers
would quickly absorb any early de-
liveries that might be offered. The
situation may briefly be summed up
III iut statement IudI III Is IHt tNctIJ-
tion when order books are not filled
for full capacity. Buyers are still
placing contracts abroad and on
urgent business this will probably
occur frequently during the re-
mainder of the year.
Firmness in cotton goods naturally
follows the combination of light
stocks and the interruption of work
at some mills with threatened dis
turbance at others, together with
the higher price of raw material.
WOrsted manufacturers are busy and
there is Il noticeable inquiry for
yarns. Footwear manufacturers
have secured little more business
and shops have been able to avoid the
reduced time that was feared.
More animation has appeared in
the speculative markets for staples.
Fluctuations were more irregular
in corn, which broke sharply here
here and at the west, but made
partial recovery, although still re-
naming below the best price last
month. Wheat moved within narrow
limits, varying fraction according
to the preponderance of good or bad
crop news. Cotton moved up to the
highest point of the season.
Failures for the week numbered
19S in the United States against 203
last year, and 10 in Canada against
24 last wear.

GEN. HAMPTON DEAD.
The Distinguished CarOIInIan Passes
Away at "A Ripe Old Age.

Columbia, ,. e., April 12.-Gen.
Wade Hampton died Friday morning
at o'clock. His death resulted not
from any disease, but was the result
of general breakdown. Gen. Hamp-
ton celebrated his S4th birthday last
week. A month ago he had a severe
attack and his children were called
to his bedside. He rallied, however,
and was out driving a week ago. In
the last few days his condition rapid
ly grew worse, and Thursday night
it was pronounced precarious by his
physicians.
The general twice this winter had
sustained attacks that had greatly
weakened him, but he rallied won
derfully. He was driving a week ago,
but it was evident his strength was
deserving him.
No arrangements have yet been

KILLED AN OFFICER.
Chief of Police is Shot to Death by q
Man Whom He Had Arrested.


Elkins, w. Va, April 12.-Chief of
Police p. e. Marstiller was shot and
killed Friday by Wilfred Davis, a
woodsman, whom he had arrested
and was taking to the city prison.
Davis appeared willing to go to Jail
and offered no resistance until with
in so feet of the Jail door, when he
told Marstiller that he would go no
further. 4 slight scuffie followed,
when Davis pulled revolver from his
pocket and fired, the ball striking
Marstiller just above the left ear.
Mayor WOodford heard of the
shooting and in less than ten minutes
had 80 men on horseback securing
he country for Davis. These were
Joined later by the sheriff and posse,
until there were 100 men in the chase,
all armed with shotguns and rifles.
Davis was sighted as he came to
where the creek crosses the country
road. They ordered him to halt, but
he started to run and the posse
opened fire. He then surrendered and
begged them not to shoot him. When
Davis was brought back to town a
mob of about 1000 surrounded the
officers having him in charge and the
cry of lynch him" soon became a
roar, but after hard work the posse
got him on a train and landed him
safely in the Jail at Phillippi.
