 West Newton, Mass, April 10.-In an endeavor to strengthen the web of cir cumstantial evidence already woven around Charles L. Tucker. the Auburn dale youth who was arrested at his home last night, and who will be al raigned in the Waltham district court tomorrow, charged with the murder of Miss Mabel Page at Weston on March s1, the state police worked unceasingly to-day.
 The house at 5S Bourne street, Au- burndale where Tucker resided with his parents, was again visited, and nearly all the clothing belonging to the young man was removed to police headquarters. Two of the detectives made another tour of the Page premises in Weston for the purpose of taking measurements, while others examined Harry Bourne, a neighbor of the Tuck CT family, and Arthur Woodward, the driver of a fishwgon.

 An important errand of the detectives to-day was to find some person who saw Tucker in the immediate vicinity of the Page house, but Up to tonight no such person had been discovered
 Plaster impressions of Fuckers teeth ' made last night at police headquarters, were to-day turned over to a, local den- tist. and hard rubber casts will be made from them The dentist stated that impressions of both upper and lower teeth had been taken, especial atten- tion being paid to the four front teeth.
 A report which gained wide circula- ton to-day to the effect that what ap-s peared to be inprints of teeth were discovered on the neck and breast of the murdered woman, was declared by the state officials to-night to be without foundation. The police, however. are understood to be in possession of a knife sheath bearing intentions made by a persons teeth and they are anxious to establish the identity of the owner of the sheath.

Relations of Iiaiy and Austria Recently
 Very sertously Strained

Rome, April 10.-Signor Tittoni, the Italian foreign minister, in an inter- view to-day. said that he and Count
 Goluchowski. the Austrian foreign
 minister, were entirely satisfied with
 their meeting at Abbazia yesterday, the result of which he would communi- cate to parliament.
 The following telegraphed from vien- na to the newspaper Independent causes a. sensation:
 sThe resurrection of the agitation in Italy. in which the agitators claimed the Italian provinces still under Aus tria. so strained the relations of the two countries that they were several times on the point of declaring war.
 Austria was indignant when Italy pro-
 tested to the emperor of Germany, who according to the triple alliance, is the larbiter of Austro-Italian disputes. The emperor decided that Italy was wrong is not repressing the anti-Austrian movement and that Austria would be
 wrong is she tried to occupy Albania land thus conflict with Italian interests. 4ueSG ueAiss 1lOA dpUCcet lA Oil tAi&2 M cision, Italy and Austria decided to complete the accord obtained through
 the meeting at Naples of Emperor Will liam and King Victor Emmanuel, in
 whose toasts. contrary to other similar
 manifestations, Emperor Francis
 Joseph was cordially alluded to. Be- sides this meeting at Abbazia which oc-
 cured in one of the Italian provinces subject to Austria (Abbazia is in Is- tria, part of the coast province of Aus- tria- -Hungary( ceded by Venice in the peace of Sanpo Formio in 179D, is to
 be understood as Italy's formal renun- citation of those provinces" Bad Aus tro-Italian feeling. in which there is a risk of checking the work of diploma cy, has been aroused by an incident
 which occurred while the meeting be- tween the ministers at Abbazia was. taking place. The Italian steamer Mol fetta on arriving at Cattaro Ca fortified seaport in the Austria province of Dal-i amtia and formerly the capital of small republic which placed itself un- der the dominion Of Venice in which position it remained until 179S when, like, Istria, it was ceded to Austria),
 was approached by Austrian gendar- mes who said they wished to inspect
 the vessel. The captain of the Molfetta refused to allow the gendarmes to come
 on board if they carried arms, and the soldiers threatened to attack the steam CT. rNe captain displayed the Italian 1 flag over the gangway when the gen.
 darmes were ordered to fire. Before the order could be carried into effect
 the captain yielded in order to avoid
 bloodshed. The Italian government will bring the matter to the attention of the
 Austrian government and ask for an explanation.

MAY ADJOURN APRIL 2S.
TERMINATION OF THE PRESENT
 SESSION OF CONGRESS.
Senators and Representatives. Discuss tho Above Date Republican Steering Committee to Meet shortly and Ar range GeEerai Programme for Re- maintng Days of Session.

Washington, April 10.-April 2S has
 been discussed in committee rooms
 and among senators and representa- tives as not at all an improbable date
 for the termination of the present ses-
 sion of congress- The pension appro-
 priation bill has been received from the
 house and reported from the senate committee with an amendment Discus sion of service pension legislation, 1t is believed, will be exhausted before the
 bill is placed on it's passage and this
 measure therefore is not considered a
 barrier to early adjournment. The army appropriation is agreed on except as to four amendments which are in
 conference. and it is thought these
 amendments will not result in further
 discussion in either body of congress. The conference report. cil the agricul- Itural bill has been agreed to in the sen- ate but no action has been taken by the
 house. A second conference has been
 ordered on the Qualifications bill on the senate amendments for the purchase of q submarine boat, for instruction in coast defence and making an appropria- tion for the completion of a certain type,of disappearing gun carriage. Both the naval and the district appropriation bills are in conference. The conference report on Indian appropriation bill has
 been made and is likely to cause debate
 for one or two days. Four days ad-
 ditional discussion is looked for over the
 postoffice appropriation bill. The
 amendments that have been adopted are
 not of a character that will tie the bill
 up in conference for more than two or snudry civil bill be reported from the
 senate committee on appropriations on Tuesday and the military bill will be ready by the time the sundry civil bill is passed. It is expected that the gen. eral deficiency bill will be reported to the house not later than Tuesday. No call has been issued but republican leaders of the senate anticipate holding
 a meeting of the steering committee early next week to agree on a general programm for the remaining days of the session.

ANARCHIST RETURNS TO
 FACE PRISON SENTENCE
WILLIAM MCQUEEN ARRIVES
 IN NEW YORK.
Under Conviction for Inolting silk trade Riots i'm Paterson in 19Os-Ap- pealed in vain-skipped from the Country While Under s1O,OoO Batl- win Have to Serve Five Years.

New York, April 10.-William Mac queen, the anarchist who is under a fiveyear sentence i'll New Jersey for melting the silk trade riots in Paterson in June, 1902, arrived to-day on the St. Paul from Southampton, travelling in cognito.' Tuesday he will surrender himself to the sheriff of Passaic county i norder to serve his sentence from which he has appealed in vain. Macqueen left America while under $10,000 bail and in so doing is said to have caused his bondsman not little trouble, but this matter seems to have been satisfactorily adjusted. He says that he means, if possible, to blot out the stain which has been unJustly plac- ed on his name.
 When the steamer St. Paul docked Macqueen was met by his counsel, Rob- ert F. Geyer, of Paterson, and had a long conference with him, after which he said:
 T do not wish to be misrepresented. l am anxious that no garbled accounts | of my return to America S hall get abroad among the American papers, and I wish also to deny most emphati- cally any imputation that I was in any way concerned with the Bresci affair l in Italy, or any other violent exhibition of anarchy in which unjust persons have assumed to mention my name as 1 a participant"
 After relating the incidents leading up to the riots he continued: T was out on the street during all | the trouble and plpaded with the men l to stop their rioting and listen to req son. While I am, philosophically speaking, an anarchist, l am opposed to any and every form of violence, and 1 there was never moment in my life when I was more sincere than when moving among that excited mob and calling to them to stop firing" i Macqueen declared that he visited England while under bonds solely for the purpose of seeing that his family should be provided for.
 Tomorrow afternoon I shall go to New Jersey. and if nothing happens I shall attend to few little details which need my care and then l shall present myself to the sheriff of Passaic county on Tuesday morning at the county jail and surrender myself
 Macqueen admitted that there was a movement on foot in England to bring his case to the attention of the United States government with a view to miti- kgating his sentence.
