Light Thrown on Mystery of Two
Years Standing.

Kansas City, Feb. 5-The arrival
in this city of Mrs. j. B. Brady,
wealthy woman of San Antonio, Tex,
accompanied by J. D. Womack, chief
of detectives Of that city, proved the
sequel to the arrest of Roland Fitch
ue, negro in this city, Dec. 26 1902,
and explained the mystery of a rob-
berry that occurred on a Pullman coach
near Rogers, Ark, two years and
half ago, when diamond jewelry ag-
gregating in value $4,000, was taken
from berth occupied by Mrs. Brady
and which was recently found in pos
session of Fitchue and his family.
That the negroes had the diamonds
was made known to the police by a
quarrel among themselves. Thomas
Fftchue complained to the police that
his brother, Roland Fitchue, had rob-
bed him of valuable diamonds which,
he said, were heirlooms in his family,
but the police did not accept his
story, and learned upon investigation
that Thomas Fitchue was the porter
on the train at the time Mrs Brady
was robbed All of the jewelry has
not yet been returned, but Fitchue
has Informed Mrs. Brady that the
stones, not in his possession, are in
northern city, and will soon be re-

FORTY FISHERMEN
ARE REPORTED LOST
Storm Wrecks Their Shanties
on Saginaw Bay.


Their Huts Were Built Upon the Ice
on Bay and Binding Swirl of Snow
and Big Waves Dashed Them to
Pieces.
Chicago, Feb. Sit is feared that 40
fishermen were lost in the storm
which struck Saginaw Bay Tuesday
night, says dispatch to The Tribune
from Bay City, Mich. The men were
living in shanties built on the ice. The
storm burst without warning. 1t was
accompanied by binding swirl of
snow and the waves crushed the ice
in the bay upon which the flshermen's s
huts were standing, into a grinding,
crunching mass. Nothing has been
seen of men or shanties since. 1t
is known that two were drowned and
little hope is expressed for the others.
James Fisk, fish buyer, who spent
the night in his station, came to the
city last night and said that prior to
the storm he could see plainly doz-
en- shanties and men moving about
them but in the morning there was no
sign OF human life on the bay. Two
men who were in a shanty not far
from his place were lost during the
night, cakes of ice having smashed
their shanties to pieces. He says the
other fishermen could hardly have es-
capped, as they were still farther out
and nearer the scene of the first break
ing up of the ice.

MACEDONIAN QUESTION.
May Overshadow Venezuelan Affair.
Insurrection AGAINST Turks.


New York, Feb. 5.-While the Ven
ezuelan affair still has precedence as
the leading foreign question, says the
London correspondent of The Tribune,
there is general feeling that it will
speedily be overshadowed by the Mace.
donian question.
A formidable insurrection against
the Turks is expected early in the
spring say nearly all writer's who are
following the course of events in the
Balkans. Predictions of a similar
nature have been made year after
year, but with equal confidence since
the preliminary stages of the last wal
between Russia and the porte.
The Turkish government clearly ex
poets trouble and the Russian and Au
strian governments also dread move
ment from Bulgaria, which they can
not control since they cannot agree
upon joint policy.
