SAW BATTALlA'S BODY.
Two Young Men Near the Scene When
He was Killed.

TIC was
Minneapolis, Nov. 25.-Lewis Ro-
KEN and Arthur Nelson, young men
who live near the Franklin avenue
bridge in Minneapolis, saw the body
of Salvatore BaJtallia lying on the
bridge last Wednesday night.
The boys had not reported this to
the authorities, but last night ac-
knowledged to a detective that they
had seen the body lying on the bridge
before the alarm was given, and Ro-
ken said that he had heard somebody
running away.
Neither, however, would admit that
he had seen any one close to the body
as they had been reported to have told
their friends.
These friends say that the boys had
been visiting on the East Side until
about $3.50 O'Clock, when they started
home.
AS they reached the east end of the
bridge, walking on the right hand side,
they saw two men lifting something
between them that appeared to be
heavy and carrying toward the railing.
The men evidently heard them ap-
preaching, for they dropped their bun
die and ran in their direction, but on
the opposite side of the bridge.
The young men kept on and saw the
body of man in the roadway at about
the center of the bridge and noticed
blood scattered about
Terror-stricken they broke into a
run and went home. They did not re-
port to the police, fearing to be mixed
up in the horrible affair.
The police believe this story will
throw considerable light on the case.

PANAMA CANAL QUESTION.
Leading Topic Under Consideration by
the Senate,

Washington, Nov. 25.-The Panama
canal question was again the leading
topic under consideration by the sem
ate Tuesday, and Mr.. Morgan was
again the speaker of the day. He con-
tinued his review of the history of
the efforts to secure an isthmian canal
and declared that to the presidents
ambition to secure the credit of
unique administration must be credit
ed the favoritism manifested by him
toward the Panama route. RE assert
ed that President Mckinley had favor
ed the Nicaragua line and this state
ment was challenged by Mr.. Hanna,
who said he knew of his own personal
knowledge that Mr.. Mckinley had
urged the most careful investigation
after he had learned that the Panama
canal property was available.
The question of committee assign
ments was again postponed, as was
also the motion to reconsider the vote
on the Newlands joint resolution con-
cerning the annexation of Cuba ~

HOLDS TWO SESSIONS.
Senate Subcommittee investigating
Charges Against General Wood.

Charges Against General Wood.
Washington, Nov. 25.-Two sessions
We're held Tuesday by a sub-commit-
tee Of the senate committee on mill
tary affairs which is investigating the
charges against General Leonard
Wood, nominated by the president to
be major general. An adjournment
was taken until Friday, when Major
Runie will be the first witness.
1t was stated at the close of the
last session that probably more than
two weeks will be occupied in hearing
the witnesses the committee already
has determined to summon. Then if
committee is named to go to Cuba,
an adjournment probably will, be taken
until some time next March, which is
considered the best time to visit the
island. Major Rathbone says ne will
go to Cuba at the same time for the
purpose of pointing out sources of in
formation which form the basis OF
many of his charges.
Opponents Of the confirmation of
General Wood openly express the
opinion that the military affairs com
mittee will report the nomination
favorably to the senate, but declare
that when this course is taken some
charges will be presented to the SEN
ate which the committee has excluded
from the testimony.
Estes G. Rathbone has written to
Senator E. H. Platt requesting early
action on his charges against General
Wood

SENATOR T. c. PLATT AND GOV.
ERNoR oDELL REACH A Po-
LiTicAL AGREEMENT.
CONFER AT WHITE HOUSE
BOTH THE SENATOR AND THE
GOVERNOR DESIRE RoosE-
VElT's NOM NATION.

Washington, Nov. Ex-senator
Thomas C. Platt and Governor Benia.
min B. Odell of New York have
reached an absolute and entire agree
ment, politically. Both will work in
perfect harmony with each other and
with President Roosevelt.
This, in brief, it was announced, is
the net result Of conference held at
the White House Tuesday night. The
parties to the conference were the
president. Senator Platt, Governor
Odell and Colonel George w. Dunn.
chairman of the Republican state
committee of New York
For several months it has been
known that political differences ex-
listed between Governor Odell and
Senator Platt. These differences were
of such character as to cause con-
cern in the minds of their friends, al
though they did not take the form of
an alignment of factions in New York
state. They grew out of state ap-
pointmehts originally and it is stated
practically were confined to state af-
fairs. The fear was expressed by
some friends of President Roosevelt
that the trouble between the governor
and Senator Platt. sooner of later,
might include national political fea-
lures: but it can be said authoritative
ly that at no time has either Governor
Odell or Senator Platt wavered in his
loyalty to President Roosevelt
Invited by President Roosevelt.
President Roosevelt invited Govern
or Odell and Senator Platt to meet
him at the White House in order to
sift various rumors. The conference
was stated after its close to be more
than satisfactory Governor Odell
said:
"a satisfactory and harmonious
agreement has been reached. Matters
at issue have been compromised and
satisfactorily arranged"
It is understood authoritatively that
Governor Odell was accorded practical
ly all for which ne has contended.
The agreement reached is of such a
character that it is not considered
now that the necessity for future con-
ferences will exist Tt can be said
that Senator Platt viii continue as the
leader Of the New York state Republi-
can organization but that Governor
Odell will direct in detail the campaign
In New York next year.
Both Senator Platt and Governor
Odell have announced their desire
that President Roosevelt next year
should be nominated and elected.

Gus Marks confesses to Participating
In N irders at Chicago.
Chicago, Nov. 25.-The mystery
surrounding the hold-up of the cashiers
office of the Chicago City railway last
August. during which two of the en-
ployes of the Office were shot and
killed without warning, was cleared
up Tuesday by the confession OF Gus
Marks, who was arrested last Satur-
day for the murder of Detective John
Quinn, whom Marks shot down while
trying to escape arrest.
Harvey Vandine and Peter Neider-
meier are named by Marks as his ac-
complices in the car barn murder. Ac-
cording to Marks story the three men
went to the Office of the railway COM
pany for the purpose of robbery.
Marks says that when he ordered the
men to throw up their hands they
obeyed. but Neidermeier burst in the
window of the Office and commenced
shooting. Vandine then broke down
the door with a sledge hammer, Marks
says, and went into the office and took
all the money he could find, IN all
$2,250 was secured, and Marks says
the money was evenly dNiSed between
the three men. The next day Marks
and his two companions went to Den
yer, then to Cripple Creek and In a
week came back to Chicago, since
when, according to Marks confession,
they have been implicated in a num-
ber of hold-ups and shooting affairs.
Marks confessed that in addition to
the two murders at the car barns he
had been connected with four other
murders since that time. All of these
crimes were similar in character to
the killings in the barn, being the rob-
bing and shooting of men on the street
and in saloons.
