tion of the members of these committees
should be made by a steering committee to
be appointed by the chairman Of the caucus,
but that their selection should later be rat
fled by the caucusg
The steering committee for the past con-
gress has numbered only seven members,
but senator German requested that the
number should be increased to nine, which
was the number in the days Of his previous
craftsmanship, and this increase was de-
cided upon.
Mr.. German will make his selection of
members of this committee in time to have
a meeting tomorrow, when the question of
supplying the vacancies on the regular
committees Of the senate will be taken up.
The caucus placed in the hands Of the
steering committee authority to decide
for the democrats whether there should be
a general reorganization of the senate com
mittees, or the mere filling OF vacancies on
those committees which will deal with
pressing questions during the extra session.
There is no doubt, however, that the
democratic steering committee will insist
upon having some of the committees filled
for the reason that the democratic party
has lost quite heavily in some Of the com-
mittees which are in control Of the present
- AANI wa aahn ~ 1NAaN NAoN
the vacancies in the committee on foreign
relations be filled. Senator Bailey retired
from this committee before the adjourn
ment of the last congress-, and. by unan!-
nous consent, Senator Clark of Montana
was appointed to the vacancy. 1t is ex-
pected that the steering committee will
confirm this action, and also will name a
successor to senator Rawlins on the same
committee.
II is thought necessary to have these va
cancies filled Immediately, as that commit
tee will have to deal with the pending
treaties. They also will ask that the dem
ocratic vacancies on the committee on inter
oceanic canals caused by the retirement
from the senate of Messrs. Harris and
Turner shall be filled.
1t also is probable that they will ask that
the places vacated by Senators Vest and
Turner on the committee on commerce shall
be filled before the nomination OF DR.. Crum
to be collector at the port Of Charleston IS
taken up by that committee. A similar de-
mand probably will be made In all othe
cases In which committees have charge Of
nominations over which there may be con-
troversy. The caucus was in session fol
almost two hours.
Later in the day the steering COMMITTEES
was named. 1t consists OF Senators Cor

LARGE SUM FOR CREDITORS
Marshal SEXES Yearly "A Quarter of
Million Dollars Belonging to
Turf Company.

ST. LOUIS. Mo. March 6.-United States
Marshal Morrissey took possession OF
S24s.00O In cash and the ofhces and fUrni-
ture OF John ]. Ryan Co.. the turf in
Yestment company, this afternoon and will
hold the entire amount for distribution
among the creditors.
According to the agreement with Judge
Adams Of the United States circTt court
the creditors are to get 25 Der cent. and II
money received from the depositors does
not amount to that the company will have
enough to bring the payments up to that
hgure or the proceedings in formal bank
ruptcy will continue. Creditors will be re-
quired to deposit their slips with the
United States marshal and payment will
probably be made by check.

WAsHINGToN, March 6.-while no ad-
vices have been received at the Chinese le-
CATION here regarding the approaching
crisis in the interior Of China, as a result
OK the renewed activity OF the Boxers, 1t is
understood the minister, Sir Liang Chen
Tung, will bring to Washington important
instructions bearing on the subject.
s In. addition to the uprising of the rebels
and the increased importation Of arms, the
extortion practiced by the viceroys in the
collection OF indemnity is said TO have
caused the most distressing conditions in
other provinces.
European advices that have reached
Washington in the last few days show no
evidence of weakness on the part Of the
powers in their demands for the payment
Of the indemnity in gold. This problem
will be the first which the new minister
will srapple with upon his arrival in Wash

He Is expected here early in April. Be-

INSANITY TO BE HIS DEFENSE
Many witnesses VIII Testify that
Knapp Has Been Queer since
He Was a Child.

HAMILTON, o., March 6.-Altred A.
Knapp, the self-confessed murderer, was
visited today by his attorneys from Cincin-
natl and they say they cannot get ready for
the preliminary hearing this week.
There is no doubt whatever about the de-
Tense pleading insanity and the FIRST move
ment will be for an inquest.
His fourth wife. parents, brother, sisters
and brothers-in-Ia will testify that Knapp
has not been right mentally since he was
kicked by a colt when he was 5 years old
and it is expected that ~neighbors Of the
Knapps will testify as to Knapp's queer
ways.
Knapp is as Indifferent in Jail as ever
playing cards and reading and apparently
the most cheerful Of all the prisoners.

Evidence Sufficient to Warrant Making In

PARTY SUSPECTED EMPLOYS COUNSEL

PARTY SUSPECTED EMPLOYS CoUNSI

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 6.-Despite the
fact that the police and the officials of the
district attorneys Office have declared re-
peatedIy and continue to assert that they
were really certain of the identity OF the
person who murdered Edwin L. Burdick
and that. person was a woman, they still
hesitate to make a decisive move.
Suggestions that might give a clue to the
motive for the murder have been eagerly
sought and sifted. Innumerable clues have
been followed. The police say many of
these have strengthened their suspicious
until they are almost positive of the identity
of the murderer, but material evidence 8
lacking. other clues have either led to
nothing OF resulted in more mystery.
The police are less communicative today
and there is a widespread feeling that they
are at a standstill for the present at least.
In theory the police are in a position to
lay their hands upon the murderer at any
moment, but besides their indirect evidence
that would warrant an arrest they are no
nearer the solution of the mystery than
they were a week ago. when the murder
was discovered.
An Cficial in a position to know the exact
situation said: "In actual evidence which
would support an arrest we are as badly on
as we ever we're. At the same time we
are morally certain who the murderer Is.
do you expect an arrest today?" he was
asked.
mo, not today nor tomorrow. nor the
next day"
when do you expect an arrest?"
when facts that would convince a jury
are found to substantiate our theory. We
must have strong evidence when we arrest
anybody, for we know that as soon as an
arrest is made lawyers are standing ready
to apply for a habeas corpus writ to rush
us into court and make US disclose our case
at the first jump"

AEuinaIdo Would BE King.
The bureau Of insular affairs, War de-
partment, has Just published a pamphlet
of forty-eight pages, giving the telegraphic
correspondence Of Emilio Aguinaldo from
July Is, 1898, to February rs. 1899. These
kilograms were discovered by Captain John
r. 7. Taylor, Fourteenth infantry, among
a mass of papers captured from the in
surgent government. 4 They are sufficiently
complete to show that the insurgent leader
leaned strongly upon others for advice and
counsel, that there was serious opposition
to his authority among his own people and
that an attack on the Americans at Ma
Mia had been fully decided upon before the
outbreak of hostilities on February 4, 1899,
and that in the event that the struggle
should prove successful, the new govern
ment that would have been created would
not have been a republic, as titles Of no.
bility were promised to certain insurgent
officers.
Warrants for sOWth Carolina.
The Treasury department issued warrants

bill approved March 3.

Secretary Hay and Attorney General

master General Payne, who will leave early
next week for an extended trip to the West
Indies, had a few departmental Llatters TO
clear up before their departure.

said today that accommodations could be
arranged for 800 additional appointees fo7
the coming term.
Secretary Moody has beeu at work for
several days on the naval law, many pro
visions OF which he hopes to have in opera
tion shortly. The increase in the peTsonne
is receiving careful attention and before
his departure for the West Indies he ex-
poets TO arrange for the appointment Of the
