MAY DEVELOP INTO
ANOTHER NELLY CASE
Former Officer Arrested for Shortage
in the Philippines.

MONTREAL, Feb. "A former
United States army officer who gave
MS name as Alexander w. Waters, but
who is believed to be William A. Will
son, was arrested here today charged
with the embezzlement of $4,000, the
property of the United States govern
ment. When arraigned Waters said he
Lad no desire to fight extradition pro-
ceedings, but was prepared to leave at
once for Washington, waving his claim
to extradition.
1.-THE sooner l get into the United
States and have this matter all eX-.
planned the sooner 1 shall be free
again., he declared.
The Washington authorities who had
asked for Waters arrest We're commune
Gated with, and as a result Waters left
for the capital tonight in custody of
Vice Consul German and local detect
i've.
Waters was disbursing officer of the
bureau of coast guard and transporta-
ton at Manila. When he had disap-
peared from Manila examination of his
accounts was made, and it is stated
that they showed a shortage of $4,000.
Waters went from New York to Manila
in April, 1901. He claims to be a Cana
dian by birth, and that he was born ir,
StratfOrd, Ont. He says that he drift
ed back to San Francisco, where he
spent some time making a book on the
race track.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 2-It is
said at the war department that the
man arrested in Montreal is named
Wilson, instead of Waters, and that he
is charged with being an absconder
from Manila in the sum of $4,000. His
case is likened at the department in
some of it's features to the Nelly case
in Cuba. He was employed in the
coast guard service In the Philippines.
The application for lassarreSt was made
blythe attorney general, acting at the
request Of the insu1ar bureau of the

WATERBURY STONE
THROWERS ARE
BUSY
In spits the Presence of
Militia, They Break Win
dows Of Street Cars and
Escape in the Convenient
Fog.

WATERBURY, Conn, Feb. 2-The
executive committee of the striking
Trolley Mems union today issued a
statement, disclaiming all connection
with the riot of Saturday night, and
appealing to their friends to do all in
their power to stop such disturbances.
The strikers lay the blame for Sat-
urday nights occurrence to what they
call the arrogant manner assumed by
General Manager Sewell in rejecting
all plans Of arbitration proposed by
the business mems committee and also
to the alleged fact that many people
believe the court show a disposition to
favor the employees of the railroad
company, in that the nOn-union trolley
men who have been arrested for car
rying and f1ourishing reVOlvers, have
been let off with comparatively small
fines, while offenders against the COM
pany's interests have been heavily
punished.
The first real disturbance of this
evening occurred at the railway power
house, in the Brooklyn district, where
the Blues, a New Haven company,
were stationed on patrol. The rain of
the early evening was succeeded by
thick fog, which rendered it difficult to
distinguish objects half a block away.
Taking advantage of the fog, a gang of
hoodlums, supposed to be Poles liv-
the sidewalk across the street from the
power house and threw stones at
empty cars which were standing there.
The windows on one side of the cars
were smashed from one end to the
other. Lieut.. Beebe and the whole
company of Blues made a dash for the
stone throWers, but in the fog and
darkness all escaped after a long
chase through back yards and alleys.
About this time reports of violence
in other parts Of the city began to
come in, the fog evidently suiting the
purposes of the rioters and hindering
the efforts of the guardsmen. Every
car that came into the center of the
city between and 10 o'clock evidently
had been attacked by stone throwers.
The cars were hit in many places and
some of the mOtormen had narrow es-
capeS from injury. 1t was extremely
difficult for the men on the cars to To-
cate the source of the stone throwing,
and escape for the rioters was easy in
the fog. One arrest was made near
the big high school building, where
some of the militiamen are quartered.
A man was found tampering with
switch and was locked up.
Brig. Gen. Frost late tonight said
that some unexpected things had hap
pened, among them being the stoning
of cars from houses in different dis
tricts. This occurred especially, he
said, in Brooklyn, where the cars were
attacked from several houses. These
places were afterward closely watched
An hour after the Blues, of New Ha-
ven, had their chase for the rioters a
car filled with members of the city
guard of New Haven was sent over the
Brooklyn line, running back and forth
as a ptrOl. In front of various saloons
in Brooklyn where Poles congregate
squads of militiamen were stationed.
Various companies patrolled the streets
all night.

WINTER WHEAT CROP JARED
WELL IN JANUARY
Some Damage Done by Alternate

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. g.
The weather bureaus monthly sum-
mary of crop condition is:
On the whole the winter wheat crop
Jared well in January, the central and
north portions of the winter wheat
belt being we'll protected by snow COW
ering until the closing days of the
month, when much snow melted, Ieav-
ing only the extreme northern districts
with a covering on Jan. 10. Over the
southern portion of the winter wheat
belt some damage has resulted from
alternate freezing and thawing, but the
crop has apparently not sustained Sc
rious injury. The rainfall throughout
the winter wheat belt was lighter than
usual, but Kansas is the only state re-
porting need for moisture. In Wash
ington and Oregon the general condi-
ton of wheat~is satisfactory although
portions of these states have suffered
from alternate freezing and thawing.
In California the first half of the
month in the northern sections was
colder and foggy, While hot dry winds
prevailed in the southern part of the
state, but no serious damage resulted;
more favorable temperature conditions,
with beneficial rains, prevailed during
the latter part of the month.

The latest theory, and a very ingenious
one, writes Frank Wilbert Stokes of The
Aurora Borealis'' in the February Cen

Of the earth in the direction of it's move
trary, behind it. This cosmic ether is more
condensed before the earth than that
which is borne along in the whirl of the
miles per second, and is more rarefed
behind. The result is that ofle-half Of
the earth, or the northern hemisphere,
will be negatively electrified and the
southern half positively electrified with
the space regions which they are leaving.

probably push aside the curtains of this

CONFERENCE MAY GO TO PIECES
Question of Miners Wages May Not
Be Settled,

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 1.-The
Indiana, Ohio, Illinois and Western
pennsylvania operators and miners
took their fight behind closed doors to-
day and the joint scale committees
are at work threshing over the de-
mands. 1t will be surprising if a set
Element is made in less than a week or
ten days. Predictions are even made
that the miners and the operators will
not get together and that the Joint
wage conference which has now held
together four years will go to pieces
before a settlement is reached,
There is considerable difference be-
tween the maximum demands of the
operators and the minimum of the
miners. There will be a long fight
over the run of mine basis demand of
the miners on the 7-cent differential
between pick and machine mining and
the fiat increase of 80 per cent in the
wages of inside laborers. The brunt
OF this fight will fall especially on
the miners and operators of the Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania districts.
Inc joint committee was in session
all day without result. A subconmit-
tee was appointed which will consider
the demands of the miners and opera
tors and report as soon as an agree
ment is reached. A discussion on the
proposition of the miners occupied
most OF the day. 1t was stated that
the miners should not be considered
as the ordinary Workmen on account
of the extra hazardous nature of their
employment
In answer, w. S. Boyle produced a
statement of an insurance company
that placed the mortality in the min
ing of bituminous coal at the lowest
of any class of mining and much low
er than the rate for different classes
of shop manufacturing
After much discussion which occu-
pied the greater part of the day, the
entire matter of scale was referred to a
subcommittee, with H. w. Hoskins. of
the Ohio miners as chairman. Presi-
dent John Mitchell, Vice President
Thomas j. Lewis and Secretary w. B.
Wilson, of the United Mine workers
are ex officio members of the commit
tee.

today anthracite coal was sold for $3.50
ton. 1t is expected that this rate
will hold without much change until
summer, as it is generally conceded
to be the legitimate market price. The
high price for soft coal has had it's
back hopelessly broken, and the btu
minous product is selling at 50 to $3.50
ton. This slump effectually dis
poses of a certain bituminous combina-
ton which was forming to maintain
the ton prices for the coming year
