ALL Is IN READINESS
TO HANG TOM HORN
But Bets Are Even That He win
Not Swing.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 19.-Tom
Horn, the convicted murderer of Will
lie Nickel and the reputed slayer of
half a dozen men, realizing that all
hope was gone, prepared tonight for
death. Rev. Mr.. Watson of St. Marks
Episcopal Church, assisted by a choir
of three, held a service in the cell of
the condemned cattle detective to-
night, at which Horn for the first time
succumbed to religious influence.
The service was a dramatic one, and
during the singing of the hymn Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" Horn first showed
realization of his position. During Mr..
Watson's prayer, Jim McCloud, who
broke jail with Horn last summer.
burst into passionate weeping Horn
himself finally knelt and prayed with
the minister.
The authorities do not anticipate an
attempt to rescue Horn tonight, but
in spite of this they have taken eX
traOrdinary precautions. The outside
of the Jail is heavily guarded by mill
tiarnen. Inside. the sheriff. his depu-
ties and half a dozen other Wyoming
sheriffs assembled here for the execu-
ton. stand ready to resist any attack.
All preparations for the execution
are now complete and unless the un-
expected happens Horn will be hanged
tomorrow.
Gov. Chatterton has received a let
ter threatening him with death unless
he commutes the sentence of Horn.
George Jackson, a wealthy sheep man
from Rawlns, has asked aid of the
authorities in running down a written
threat that he would be killed if Tom
Horn hangs.
George Hyatt one of Horns closest
friends, came to town to-day, and it
was at once reported that he would
join in a plot to rescue Horn. He
laughed at the rumor. However, there
are hundreds of cowboys in town, and
one company of twenty-five and an
other of thirty-five arrived during the
day.
Bets of $50 and $500 are being made
at even money that Horn will not
hang.

RIOTING IN CHICAGO.
Disorder Marks the Progress of the
street Car Strike.

Chicago, Nov. 19.-Despite the unit
ed efforts to-day of Mayor Carter H.
Harrison, and the Aldermanc Media
ton Committee to bring about a peace
able adjustment of the Chicago City
Railroad strike, there is little change
in the situation tonight. Some pro-
gress was made to-day, but nothing de-
finite was accomplished.
To a question as to the prospects
of settlement of the strike, Mayor
Harrison, said:
well, / am more hopeful than
was after our conference last night,
when the outlook was decidedly
gloomy. Both sides seem willing to
continue negotiations, and while there
is life there is hope"
A serious riot occurred this morn
ing at Thirty-eighth street, and Went
worth avenue, which was quelled by
the vigorous work of the police. They
were compelled to charge the mob. and
use their clubs freely. The mob let
fly a shower of stones at two cars,
demolishing the car windows and caus-
ing four passengers on the first car to
flee for their lives. The mob then
swarmed upon the cars, and had be-
gun to beat the train crews, when
the police arrived. The mob, which
had greatly increased by this time
was in an ugly temper, and refused to
move. The police drew their revolvers
and clubs, and charged at once. There
was warm fight which lasted about
two minutes, and then the mob broke
and fed in all directions. A number
of those engaged in the rioting were
arrested.
Alfred Grannis, broker, 43 years old,
was attacked and badly beaten to-day
in a fight growing out of a dispute with
two young men as to the street car
strike. Grannis, who sided with the
steps taken in placing policemen on
cars, received a blow in the face which
felled him. Before he could regain his
feet the men set upon and kicked and
pummelled him severely in the face
and about the body, rendering him I'M
conscious. His assailants were pur-
sued by an angry crowd, which was
only prevented from wreaking ven
geance upon them by policeman, who
arrested them.
Cars on the Halstead line were start
ed to-day. Trainmen at both the Rock
Island and Pennsylvania and the Belt
Line crossing succeeded in getting long
lines of freight cars across Halstead
street as the cars were approaching,
causing some delay. At the Belt Line
it was necessary for the police to COM
pei the trainmen to split a train in or
der to clear the way. Sixty teamsters
in the employ of the street railway
company struck to-day.

RELATIONS UNCHANGED
Between the Republic of Panama
and the Church of Rome.

Panama, Nov. 19.-It now appears
that the relations between the republic
of Panama and the Catholic Church
will show no departure from those
which exist between Rome and the
Colombian government. The Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, Senior De La
Espriella, sent a cablegram to-day to
Cardinal Merry Del Val, the papal
secretary of state, in which he recited
the fact that the isthmus had declared
its independence, that the government
was in charge of the junta, and that
the new republic had been recognized
by several of the great powers. The
minister especially begged the papal
secretary to present his respectful
salutation to Pope Plus X and ex-
pressed the wish that the Vatican
should recognize the Panama republic

New York City.


New York, Nov. 19-As the result of
a rear-end collision to-day between

HANNA BIDDING
FOR NEGRO VOTE
His Pension Bill Regarded As Poll
teal Bait.-Believed That 1t
Means He Is Presidential
Candidate.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-The
general belief that at the proper
time Senator Hanna, despite his
protestationS to the contrary, will
come out as fullhedged candidate
for the Republican Presidential
nomination has been renewed by
the introduction of his bill provid-
ing for the pensioning of ex-slaves.
Notwithstanding this bill was
introduced ''by request" it is
thought to be perfectly plain that
it would not have been offered had
not the Senator been fully cognizant
Of its intended effect. In other
words, it is considered nothing more
nor less than a clean bid for the
negro vote. The friends of the Presi-
dent believe that since he has gone
so far out of his way to play into
the hands of the blacks he shotrld
have their support; accordingly
they resent Hanna's attempt to in
terfere. The local paper, which is
regarded as the mouthpiece of the
administration, has an editorial to-
night in which it vigorously
knocks the Hanna bill and saws
that Its adoption would bring about
such gigantic frauds that even this
strong Government would groan
under them. The paper also con-
tains a communication from a local
negro preacher in which he warns
his people in the South to beware
of persons who try to collect money
to further the interests of the bill.

RATTLESNAKE VENOM.
In World wide Demand at Its
Present Price Of 500
Drachm.


Cyanide of mercury. prussic acid,
arsenic and strychnine are strong
poisons, yet right here in Rochester
a poison that is far more powerful
is being manufactured.
This is the powder made from the
venom of rattlesnakes by Rattle
snake Pete at his Mill street museum
So wonderful in its workings is this
deadly powder that scientists in all
parts of the civilized world are
engaged in studying its properties.
Some weeks ago Pete receiveda
communication from Germany
directed to "Rattlesnake Pete,
Rochester, America" asking in
what quantities the venom from
rattlesnakes could be furnished by
the Rochester snake man and what
he charged for it.
When interviewed today, Pete
said: Il have just received another
