GERMANY MEETS A FLAT REFUSAL
Mr.. Bowen Declines to Acoede to Re-
quest for Immediate Payment of the
95500-Matter Is Regarded as
Significant.

Washington, Feb. 24.-The German
Government, through its representative
here, Baron Speck Won Sternburg, has
made a request of Mr.. Bowen for the i'm
mediate payment of the E55OO which it
was stipulated in the protocol signed on
February Is should be paid within thirty
DAYS from that date as preliminary to
the raising of the blockade against
Venezuelan ports, and the agreement to
send the question of preferential treat
ment of the blockading nations to The
Hague for determination.
Mr.. Bowen promptly declined to accede
to the request, but informed Baron Stern
burg that, as provided in the protocol, the
money would be paid to the German rep
resentative at Caracas thirty days from
February lS, which would be on the 10Th
of March.
The reason that animated the German
Government in making the request is not
disclosed here, nor is MIR. Bowen aware OF
it. The matter, however, has some signi'
ficance, perhaps, in view Of the fact that
the ships taken by the Germans during
the blockade have not yet been returned
to Venezuela.
During the day Mr.. Bowen had calls
from the French Ambassador, Nj. JUS
serand; the Spanish Minister, ,SenOr Ojeda,
and the Belgian Minister, Baron Mon
cheur, in regard to the protocols that are
in preparation for the settlement of the
claims of the citizens of their countries
against Venezuela,

that Bill Rudolph and Frank Lewis, the
Union Mol bank robbers, who were
located in a cabin near Richview, IlIs.,
have again escaped, and posses Of citizens,
in addition to that of Sheriff Howe, are
being formed to pursue and capture them,
if possible. The entire community is in
arms.
According 10 the reports from commun'
tiles through which the robbers have
passed, they have adopted Tracy tactics,
intimidating farmers and threatening to
kill pursuers. The two men converse only
with women and children, from whom all
the details concerning them have been
learned, except the general description
given by hunter who encountered them
in the woods some days ago.
They approach a farm house, and
standing 6 me distance away, call loudly
until some one makes bis appearance. II
it is man, they keep on talking to him
until he comes up closer, and then they
throw their rifles down on him and order
him to leave the premises. Like Tracy
they accompany this order with threat
to massacre the entire family if any at
tempt is made TO summon help. In this
way they have obtained food
At one farm house they found the
farmers wife and children alone, They
ordered her to get breakfast and chatteC

"4f We Had Known at the Beginning Of
the Civil War What we Know
Now There Would Have
Been No War;"
WOULD FAVOR BOOKER WASHINGTON
Ironically Says lie WOuld Vote to Put
Booker Washington in the Cabinet,
and to Place COlOred Men in High
Offices.

Washington, February 24.--Senator
Tillman surprised the Senate today by
keeping promise he made before begin
ming, to speak mildly about the lndianolA
postofice case.
"If we had known at the beginning OF
the Civil War;" said he, "what we know
now there would have been no war" He
inquired why the large majority OF law
abiding people of Indianola should be
punished because there was a small law
less and brutal element. 1t was contrary,
he said, to the fundamental principles OF
Anglo-Saxon Jurisprudence.
Replying to come remark made by Mr.
Spooner in his speech Mr.. Tillman said:
at is not in the daeam of the widest ass
that roams over the Southern States with
a wax skin on him that the Federal Gov
ernment is not supreme" but he said
there were some cognate propositions
which have been ignored.
REMINDERS OF THE WAR.
He said that in the South the people
have constant reminder that their ances'
tors thirty-fve years ago were conquered.
1--WE are perpetually reminded" he said,
accentuating his words, THAT we are in
the Union, but not of it, except to pay
taxes"
The poison in the race condition in the
South, he declared, lay in the referee sys-
tenn which had been adopted. The bal
ance of power, be said, in national Repub-
lican conventions was held 10y the machine
of the South and that machine was COM
posed of negroes. When the people OF
the South, he said, lose patience and do
"cruel, bitter, fearful fendieh and savage
things there is howl from men who know
nothing and who have never been south
of the Potomac, but who have theorlzed. j"
Continuing and addressing ;he Republi-
can side he said that if this policy of negro
equality is carried out and if some of them
could be given places in the Cabinet he
would vote for them.
81 will vote to confirm Booker Wash
ington as secretary Of anything. Let us
have a negro. a genuine negro, not mu-
latto or hybrid. Then let us make them
officers in the army and the navy. Let us
give them pro rata share of all the good
Jobs wherever they exist without regard
to local conditions" He added that
nothing of the sort would be done.
After speaking for i.early two hours and
not concluding he yielded for brief ex'
ecutive session.

DELEHANTY IS MISSING
FAMOUS BALL PLAYER SUPPOSED
TO HAVE BEEN DROWNED.
Believed to Have Either Fell OF
Jumped Into Niagara River at
Fort Erie, Ont.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Word was re-
eeived in Washington to-day which leaves
little doubt that K. Delehanty, the famous
ball player, committed suicide or was acct
dentally drowned at Fort Erie. Ontario. on
the night of July 2. He left Detroit that
day in a very respondent frame of mind
after several days of dissipation. A letter
received by Mrs. Delehanty says that an
unknown man on the night in question had
a difficulty with a bridge tender at Fort
Erie and moment or two later fell or
jumped into the river. A dress suit case
was recovered, and in this was found base
ball ticket No. 20, issued by the Washing
ton club TO Delehanty. Manager Lotus
and the players regard the proof received
as conclusive of Delehantys death He had
been in anything but good form owing to
mis- disappointment in not being able to ac-
cept the large salary offered by the New
York National League club. His heart was
not in his work and he at time
himself. The day he left Detroit he had
taken out an accident policy made payable
to his little daughter and he wrote a letter
in which he expressed the hope that the
train he was taking would run of the track
or that something would happen to him.
Delehanty came originally from Cleveland
and had his first baseball experience in that
city In 1887. Since then he has ranked
and always commanded a high salary. The
past winter he spent in New Orleans, and Is
said to have lost money heavily on the
races.

but they ran bases rather lubberly and could
not get the safe ones punched Reisiing
pitched great ball except in the fifth inning,
when the Hoosiers got Ave OF their seven
safe ones. Some faulty fielding turned what
ought to have been outs into hits, and the
trouble was started with Tamsett and Mar
can on bases. Pitcher Kellum came up and
walloped the ball out of the lot and the
game went glimmerirg so far as the locals
were concerned right then and there. To
make it more emphatic Heydon kept up the
hitting with a two-bagger and Woodruff
batted his associate home with another
two-bagger. Coulter made a home run in
the second.
In the eighth Jones was the first man to
face Reisling and he hit the ban out of
the lot for home run. The first and
last runs Of the game were made by hits
over the fence. Smith, the first man to
bat for Toledo. landed the bei, out of the

punching was made on Kellum when Refs

HAD FUN ON THE FOURTH.
Now They VIII Have to s.Expiate
Their Crime" in Court.

William and Frank Glen, alias Rough"
and Jim" Glen, were arrested last night
on a warrant charging them with assault
and battery and throwing stones. The war
rant was sworn out by Robert Perkins, a
barber at 9l9 West Michigan street. who
said that while he was working in his bar
Der shop on the Fourth of July the two
boys came past his place of business and
threw great handfuls of large torpedoes at
him through the door. Many of them struck
on his head and exploded, with the result
that he was a mass of burns all over his
head and face. The man he was shaving at
the time was burned by the explosives and
was cut about the neck by the excited bar
Der, who, unmindfui of his customer, was
attempting, razor in hand, to dodge the
miniature bombshells which the boys were
hurting at him with great enjoyment.
The boys admitted last night that they
had a little fun on the Fourth at the ex-
pense of the barber but said they did not
intend to injure him.

ANSWERED ONE QUESTION.
The BurlingtOn's General Attorney
Declined to Incriminate Himself.

ST. LOUIS, July John H. Carroll, gen.
eral attorney for the Burlington, was to-
day taken before the grand jury, which
is investigating bribery in the State Legis-
lature. and was asked several questions
by Circuit Attorney Folk. These he re-
fused to answer, and the circuit attorney
applied to Judge Douglas for an order
compelling him to do SO. On three of the
questions Judge Douglas sustained Car
rolls contention that he could refuse to
answer on the ground that to answer might
incrimnate himself. Judge Douglas or
dered him to answer the fourth question.
The questions were:
do you know anything about $4,000 that
was paid to one John A. Lee?"
do you know anything about money
paid TO legislators at Jefferson City?"
do you know anything of money paid to
legislators at st. LOUISE"
do you have any knowledge of money
paid to legislators by other persons than
yourself?"
Carol answered the fourth, saying he
had no knowledge of money used by other
persons to influence legislation. He was
taken to the grand jury room to repeat the
answer.
Circuit Attorney Folk announced that he
expected to have Carroll back in two weeks
as witness again. John A. Lee, former
Lieutenant Governor, held a conference
with Mr.. Folk this afternoon.

CHICAGO STRIKE VICTIMS.
Growing List of Deaths and Injuries
by Strikers or Friends.

Milwaukee Sentinel.
Chicago's list of murders and murderous
assaults perpetrated by riotous strikers
and their ruffianly sympathizers continues
to grow. Thomas Mullen, the latest vic
tim of these thugs, who brutally beat
en- last Sunday night for refusing 10 throw
up job which he was perfectly satisfied
with at the bidding of tyranical boss.
died in hospital Thursday night. The death
of Mullen and the increase of acts of thug
gerry done in the name, If without the sane
ton, of unionism, have created something
like feeling of CONSERVATION among
Thoughtful labor leaders in the city, and
conference will be held on Sunday next at
which there will undoubtedly be some plain
talk by conservative labor men.
There appears to be disposition to throw
the responsibility for the results of these
strike riots and outrages on the leaders of
the unions. But 1t is clear that these lead
ers or the sensible men among them, have
largely lost control of the situation. They
would. for their own sakes If for nothing
else, stop the outrages IL they could They
or brutality on the part of men nominally
under their control. and in the growing ex-
ASPIRATION of the public, menace to their
cause and their positions. They deplore
the rioting, but are manifestly unable to
But the city of Chicago, like every other
city, has in its employ body of men paid
and sworn to put down rioting and to pro-
tect citizens in their right to work and to
carry on their business unmolested. The
responsibility for the continued lawlessness
rests on the police. They are not doing
their duty, and the reason why they are
not doing 1t is not far to seek There is
unfortunately a pretty general disposition
to make a distinction between acts of law
lessness growing out of labor disputes and
other acts of lawlessness. The general pub
lie sympathizes, and rightly, with organized
labor, and is inclined to be lenient or apa-
thetic when members of trades union on
strike resort to disorderly criminal acts
which would otherwise be promptly and
sharply dealt with. Strikers of the turbu-
lent sort take advantage of this sentiment
But the distinction on which this sentiment
rests is wrong. Membership in a trades
union does not change a mans responsible
ity to the law. When public opinion is rec
titled in this matter, and insists that the po-
lice and the public authorities do their duty
in the matter of strike rioting and ruffian-
ism there win be prompt change for the
better.
