CHICAGO'S TREASURY
Lawyers and Doctors Back of
Damage Suits Amounting
to $3S,666,952.

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.--Personal injury
suits amounting to $3S, ,666,952 are
pending against the city Of Chicago,
according to the report of City Attor-
ney John f. Smulski, made public to-
day.
The council, the legislature and final
ly the people are Appealed to for relief.
Sidewalk injuries caused the majority
of the suits. Mr.. Smulskf In his report
shows that the interests combining
to loot the city in this way amount
practically to an organizations. Names
of lawyers, mostly young men, and doc
tors, occur with great frequency in the
list of suits. The city attorhey says
the piling up of suits will inevitably
continue for some years, even should
the city at once begin to tear up every
modern sidewalk.
The city attorney says the main
cause of this condition is the deplor-
able state of the city's finances, which
makes it impossible to care properly
for its streets and sidewalks The
remedy, he says, is a new city charter.
The many judgments awarded against
the city are pointed out and Attorney
Smulslki says that unless favorable ac-
tion is taken in regard to a. new char
ter inevitable bankruptcy will result.

BANK TO BUY POISON.
Thomas Welsh Kills Himself
With Strychnine Which He
Makes His Daughter Get.

Thomas Welsh, teamster residing
at 1872 Custer street, ended his life last
night by taking strychnine, which his
seven -year-old daughter and neigh
boris child had purchased at his order
with money he had taken from his lit
tie children's savings bank.
The children at first refused to go to
the drug store for the poison, which
he told them to say was for rats, but
he threatened to punish them, and they
obeyed him.
Welsh had apparently planned the
deed, but no reason is assigned by his
family or neighbors for ending his life.
He had appeared happy during the
day, and after supper urged his wife
and young woman who was stopping
at the house to visit a relative who
was keeping one of their five children.
Mrs. Welsh left home at o'clock and
Mr.. Welsh said he would run over
to visit a neighbor residing across the
street, and that he would soon re-
turn to the children.
Asked Daughter to Buy Poison.
He came into the house at $50
o'clock and after lying for awhile on
the sofa told his eldest daughter Lii
lian, aged fourteen years, to go to the
drug store for 10 cents worth of strych-
nine, which he said he would use to
kill off the rats with which the house
was infested. Lillian tells the story of
the tragedy as follows:
Il did not want to go, so I asked my
sister Irene, seven years old, and Mag
gle Denault, fifteen years old, who lives
next door, to go. They didn't want to
60 and papa got cross and said he
would whip them if they didn't. Papa
told them to get the strychnine and to
tell the druggist that he would be
around tomorrow to pay for it. They
went together and came back without
the poison The druggist refused to
give them the poison without the
money.
He made it up in a package for
them, and when they told him that
papa would be in tomorrow to paw for
1t, he said papa had a bill there already,
and he would not let him have any
thing else without cash.
Then papa asked me to look in his
trousers pockets for money, and all l
could find was five cents, so he told me
to get our bank and there were lust
five pennies in it,
He unlocked it and gave the money

DULUTH, Mimi, Jan. 31.-Separated
from his wife and children for seven
years, during which he has kept up a
brave struggle for the necessities of
life for himself and family, Louis Muir
ray, former resident of Duluth, is
about to come into independent wealth,
through the discovery, on his claim
south of Ely, of a valuable iron mine.
Sufficient ore has already been uncov-
cred to assure him a fortune, and the
explorations indicate that still further
discoveries will be made.
Murray came into possession of the
claim on the Vermillion range eight
years ago. AT that time outcroppings
of ore were noticed and he induced
some of the big iron companies to make
explorations. All of them who had the
property inspected turned it down, and
recently some college professors who
were in Northern Minnesota gave it as
their opinion that ore in paying guam
titles did not exist on the property.
Meanwhile Murrays funds dwindled
and his family was forced to return to
the East, where they secured the as
sistance of relatives. He remained in
Minnesota, and sought to interest 9TH
ers in his claim. A month ago new ex-
plorations were begun, and Murray Sc
cured employment in cutting wood for
the engines which operated the drills
He was present when the ore body was
struck, and his joy at being trans
formed into man Of affluence was al
most too much for him. He viii bring
his family here at once, and the work
on the claim Will be prosecuted with
out delay.

MARSEILLES, Jan. 31.-The follow

here yesterday on board the steamer
Victoria. In the course of an inter-
view, Mr.. Skinner said:
"A most opportune time was selected
for establishing relations with Ethio-

will send some of the products Of his
country to the ST. Louis exposition,

TO CONTINUE
PANAMA DISCUSSION
Democrats May Delay Debate
Until Resolutions of Inquiry
Are Answered.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 31.-The
senate this week will continue to dis
cuss the Panama question. Speeches
will be made on Monday or Tuesday
by Senator Fairbanks (Rep.) and Sen
ators Clark (Ark.) and Clay (Demo-
crats) all in support of the treaty.
There also will be other speeches, but
temporary cessation may be expected
later in the week. as there is a disposi-
tion on the part of many Democratic
senators to postpone further discussion
of the question until responses to the
resolutions of inquiry shall be received
from the executive. The Democrats,
however, have given assurance to the
Republican leaders that they will ne
postponing a vote on the treaty, which
they will permit as soon as legitimate
debate shall be exhausted.
The present plan is to continue the
discussion in open session, but If it be-
comes apparent that more can be ac-
comp1ished by closing the doors, execu-
tive sessions will be ordered. It is now
certain the solid vote of the Republican
side of the chamber in favor of the
treaty will be augmented by many
Democratic votes. The suggestion was
made in the Democratic caucus Satur-
day that the entire Democratic vote
should be pledged in case assurance
is given of concessions to Colombia,
but it was not acted on
The urgent deficiency appropriation
bill will be reported during the week
and will receive attention if the Pana-
ma question shall be sidetracked to
meet thesfequest of the Democrats for
delay to digest the new information
they hope to receive on the revolt
The canal question will be kept to
the front as much as possible. even to
the exclusion of the appropriation bill.

In spite of the mystery with which
officials shroud the action in connec-
ton with the reported release of Mrs.
Florence Maybrick, who is serving a
life sentence for poisoning her husband,
it can be definitely said that she has
been removed from Aylesbury prison.
AT the United States embassy it was
most emphatically declared that she
had not been pardoned, and that she
was still a prisoner. Where she has
been taken remains a mystery, but re-
ports from Aylesbury are to the effect
that she has been removed to some in
stitution in Cornwall. The home office
and the governor of AyIesbury prison
refuse to make any kind of state
ment on the subject. If the ordinary
course had been followed Mrs. May

Skinner believes that Americans will

King Menelik is not likely to leave
Abyssinia because of the political sit

didate for succession to the throne, and
he fears that his departure would be
a signal for civil warfare among the
different chiefs. It is, therefore, con-
sidered impossible for the king to visit
