NO CLUE TO MYSTERY.
Burdick Case Dehes Effort at
 Solution.

Buffalo, March s.--The Burdick murder mystery received very little attention at the District Attorneys office here today. The officials were busly engaged In pre- pairing other criminal cages before the courts which have been delayed by the undivided attention given to the Burdick case. It Is evident from the attitude of the officials that the police are now alone In their efforts to run down the murderer. That Is, the District Attorney will walt until the police department submits evi- dence of sufficient weight to convince him that they have the right person
 District Attorney Coatsworth. in the first instance, took charge of the case and personally directed the work of the police After ten days work under the direction of the District Attorney, the po- lice have not been able to show a single thing which pointed the finger of guilt strongly In any direction. It is declared. however, that no differences have arisen between the District Attorney and the po- Nee. The officials have found that the arrangement produced nothing and the police now win work for the first time independent of the District Attorney.
 That woman committed the crime the police believe has been established be- yond all shadow of doubt. The move ments of the mysterious Hone woman Is the clew upon which the police will work. This was the woman seen by Policeman Mayer in the vicinity of the Burdick home on the night of the mur- der.

LYNCHED IN FLORIDA.
Negro Who Assaulted a Little
 Girl.

Girl.
 Tampa, Fla, March 9.-Henry Thomas, colored. who attempted to criminally as- sauit the 10-year-old daughter of Porter Keene, was lynched near Parish last night after being positively identified by his victim and having admitted his guilt,
 Thomas was captured yesterday after. noon five miles south of Parish and afte being taken to the scene of his crime was hanged to a tree.
 The crime which Thomas committed was one of the most daring that ever occurred in this State, having taken place in broad daylight. The 10-year-old daughter of Keene had been sent to the home of a neighbor to purchase some vegetables. The neighbours home was only half mile distant and when she was sent short distance from the farm to procure the vegetables. There the negro saw her and immediately follow ing her. almost within sight of the farm house.
 The little girl, when she finally managed to escape, ran towards her own home. and the negro continued to follow her. Mrs. Keene, alarmed at her daughters s absence. had started in search of her. and immediately after she left her home. she saw her little daughter running to- ward her with the negro in pursuit Upon seeing Mrs. Keene the negro drew a pistol on her and threatened to shoot her If she came further in his direction.
 The alarm was immediately given and posses of citizens began a search for the negro. He was located at several places but managed to escape each time until he was finally captured.

L.&N. TO GO TO ATLANTA
PRESIDENT SMITH MAKES I'M PoRTANT ENCOURAGEMENT.
Before Another Year Through Trains Will Be Run from Georgia Capital to Cincinnati Over
 Its Own Lines.

Atlanta, Ga, March 9.-President Mill ton H. Smith of the Louisville and Nash vile Road, who spent the day in Atlanta, made the following statement tonight:
 By the first of next January, at least, the Louisville and Nashville will be run ming through trains between Atlanta and Cincinnati over it's own lines and with its own crews.
 Next to the main line from Cincinnati to New Orleans this will be the most im- portant section of the system. It taps rich coal regions in Tennessee and Ken- lucky and besides affording direct through passenger route. an enormous amount of freight will be handled"
 It is not only possible. but probable, that the division of the line from Knox vile to Atlanta via the Atlanta, Knox vile and Noxthern and the Western and Atlantic. will be put in operation with out waiting for the completion of the link between Knoxville and Saxton, Ky. where the junction with the main line to Cincinnati Is made.

TO WIN AT ANY COST KENTUCKY MINERS ADOPT DRASTIC RESOLUTIONS. Declare That Power Given Judges is the Power of the Czar and
 Recommend National
 Legislation

Paducah, Ky, March S.-The State Miners Convention today adopted a reso- lution that the strike to organize the coal miners of Hopkins County shall be taken up again at the earliest opportunity and carried on until the battle of union labor be won at whatever cost"
 The report of the Committee on Govern ment by Injunction which was adopted, says in part: '-The scope recently given to injunction in labor disputes makes the judge a czar with power to restrain a thousand or million men; by the same right he might become dictator.
 The power that can crush the con- stltution to forward the interest of coal ing or railroad magnates may curtail the liberty of any citizen.
 ITO prevent an oligarchy from usurp- ing the rights of the republic, the power to grant inJunctions in labor disputes ex- cept to prevent injury of property must be taken from the courts.
 We recommend endorsement of any bill in Congress seking to remedy this evil and urge every member of our district organization to write personal letters to this effect to representatives in Con 0reaa

SAVERS MAY
 BE SELECTED Only SOutherner on Canal
 Commission. GRIEF CONFRONTS JONES Senator Morgan Declined to
 Accept Presidency. This, It is Said, Piqued MT. Roose- welt, and He Declared Against
 southerners-wil Report Canal Treaty.

Washington, March 9.-(Special. .)-The indication tonight is that but one South erner will be appointed to the membership of five. of the Panama Canal Commission and that this one will be former Gov ernor Savers of Texas, who has just re- tired from the honor held by Houston, Mirabeau. Lamar and others of the most Southwestern State.
 While The Advertiser had intimation of this some months ago and then voiced the probability. yet the adherents of that newspaper who have no sympathy with former Senator Jones of Arkansas will feel a warm sympathy for the Arkansan, out of job, who while he erred against the practically united wish of the South ern people when he voted for the Panama rather than the Nicaraguan route. there Is no warm heart North that will not fall to respond to the grief that is apparently confronting Mir. Jones
 It is as we'll known as anything in national politics can be. that President Roosevelt offered the chairmanship of the Canal Commission to Senator Morgan. This offer was promptly, instantly. declin- ed. It Is believed that the President be- came piqued at Senator Morgan's deciina- tion of the offer, and 1t was as well known as any thing could be known. that the President then and there declared that no other Southerner but one should be offered a place on the Canal Commis- sion.
 That ended a painful business.
 Senator Morgan Is still to the fore in Al n nearly alone in his struggle for right.
 The battle over the treaty was begun today. It was opened with Q report from the. 4. Committee on Foreign Relations which recommended the ratification Of the treaty as 1t has been negotiated be- tween the State Department and the Colombian Government
 Senator Cullom, Chairman of the Com- mittee on Foreign Relations, made the re- port and immediately the Senate went in- to executive session a few minutes after I2 o'clock.
 The Committee on Foreign Relations met this morning. The canal treaty subject was taken up for consideration. It was briefly discussed and Senator Nor gan indicated his readiness to proceed with a discussion of its provisions. The committee took the view that as MT. Nor gan's remarks would be reported in the Senate when the treaty should be re- ported 1t would be a saving of time to report 1t at once so that a single discus sion would answer all purposes.
 Mir. Morgan preferred going on with his remarks, showing reasons for the to the treaty he has pro- posed. but a vote was called for and the committee decided to report the treaty at once. The only vote in the negative was that of Senator Morgan
 Lascien Julien Walker.

COLONEL BRYAN TALKS.
Says It is Easy to Ascertain What
 Congress Has Done.

Toledo March s.-Colonel W. J. Bryan said today. referring to his recent visit to New York that the people knew less about politics than Western people knew.
 "They asked me about Judge Parker" he said, and told them I could say nothing until knew his attitude on pub lie questions. They answered that he was Judge and that it would not be proper for him to discuss political topics. I think Hill Is tossing a penny to see whether he or Judge Parker will run. The trouble with the plan is that Hill has an old penny that he has tossed so often that he does not know which side Is head and which is tail.
 What Congress has done Is easily as- certained. Find out how much there was in the treasury before the session began and find out how much is there now. The wonder Is that they did not take 1t all
 T believe the Democratic party has taken the peoples side of the public questions discussed in 1896 and in 1900. and l believe that 1t would be only a ques- ton of time, and not a long time either, before enough Republicans will be dis susted with the policy of the Republi- can party to put the Democratic party in power again.
 Such victory when won will bring relief to the people from all the vicious policies of the Republican party. We can- not win a victory by compromise or cowardice. and if we should win 6 vic- tory by such means it would be as dis astrous to the party as Mir. Cleveiand's victory in 1892 proved to be-"

New York. March 9.-Grover Cleveland denied today that he had come to New York city for any political purpose as was rumored yesterday. He said:
 q came solely for the purpose of at- tending the Beecher memorial celebration In Brooklyn last night. The reports that I had a political talk with Edward N. Shepard. William c. Whitney and others are untrue.
 T am not in politics. am out for good I only saw MT. Shepard last night for two minutes and politics did not figure in our conversation. Politics is furthest from my thoughts at present. although I am always ready to act in an advisory capacity if so desired.
 'As for taking any active part in pon- tics, that is not to be considered.

TARIFF AND TRUSTS.
MT. Cleveland Says the Two Cannot
 Be Divorced.

oc 04VOECSQ.
 New York, March 9.-In an interview with a reporter of The Times this ques- tion was submitted today to Former President Grover Cleveland:
 We have a situation now in which the Republicans are claiming to be able to eliminate trust evils by publicity measures and by the enforcement of cer- tain acts regulating commerce while the Democrats and some part of the inde- pendent voters on the other hand assert that the only adequate remedy Is the re- from of the tariff, which gives to the trusts the monopoly they enjoy hence enabling them to endanger the prosperity of the country. In view of this situation, will you say what part you think trusts and tarinf will play in the campaign of 1SO4?"
 MT. Clevelands reply was: You may say for me. that MT. Cleveland gave 1t as his opinion that the trust question would not be eliminated from the Presi- dential canvass and expressed himself as being entirely unable to see how the quss- tion could be wholly divorced from the tariff issue, to say nothing of the abso- Iute necessity of good old-fashioned in- sistence upon tariff reforms for its own sake and what it would do for the people of the country"
 MT. Cleveland was asked If he thught silver would figure at all as an Issue within the Democratic party and he said:
 Il did not know that any one thought about silver nowadays"

morning, according to the outlook at 10 O clock tonight. The stage is now 222, rising about 0.1 foot an hour. The Mo nongahelia in this city has 20 feet with the same rate of rise while the stage at Davis Island dam in the Ohio is 1S.S.
 The morning warning was sent out at once on reports beng received from up river points. The Allegheny had not then begun to throw it's headwater strength into the flood and 1t appeared that a heavy flood would result. Warnings were sent in good time to those people that would be affected.
 This evening the reports that there is little danger of more than 8 feet of wa ter in the harbor. The weather predic- ton is for rain. so that the high water may hold several days.
 The rise is coming principally from the Allegheny although the Mononagehlia is also furnishing considerable water. The rainfall was general over Western Penn sylyania. The interference to railroad traffic by the flood has been slight

 Scheme.

Washington, March 9.-Secretary Hay, having been authorized by the Pan-A Amer ican Congress to appoint a special repre- sentative to carry out the recommenda- ton of the conference held in Mexico that the United States take the initiative in developing inter-continental railway plans. has appointed Charles NJ.

 The inter-contlnental project was begun by the first Pan-American conference in 1890, in pursuance of the policy of closer cooperation between the United States and the Latin-American republics.

Trial of Ensign Wortman.

Pensacola, Fla, March 9.-Four wit nesses were examined today in the trial Of Ensign Wortman by general court martial. Captain Harry Lees testimony was continued from Saturday. It was during the examination of this witness that the judge advocate attempted to in- troduce as evidence the record of the court of inquiry held on the day of the explosion. The court had ruled previous ly that the statement of Ensign Wort man could not be used and the court to- day ruled that none of the original testi- mony could be used as the witnesses were all present; neither could the conclusions of the board nor the remarks of the Sec retary of the Navy be admitted as evi- dence. ,
