Aged Sister and Brother Dead and An.
other Brother In Serious Condition.
Philadelphia, Feb 20.-A sad case
of starvation and exposure, which re-
suited in two deaths, has been re-
vealed by the police of this city. The
police of Germantown, a suburb, were
called upon to investigate mysterious
death on East Haines street. They
found Sarah Smith, aged 81 years,
dead; Benjamin Smith, 20 years old,
a brother, dying, and Louis Smith, "a
years old, another brother, in a serious
condition. The house they lived In was
a two-story frame affair. There was no
fire in the place, nor was there any
food to be found. Benjamin Smith was
removed to hospital, where he died,
and the other brother was taken to
the almshouse. A strange feature of
the case is that the brothers had been
pensioned by their former employer,
and a balance was still standing to
their credit. NeighbOrs say that all
three were eccentric.

Pope Will Name Them at Next Con-

Rome, Feb. 21-As there are nine
vacancies at present in the Sacred
College, Pope Plus x. has expressed
his intention to appoint new cardinals
at the next consistory, the date Of
which has not yet been decided, as a
great deal depends on negotiations
now going on regarding the comforting
of these offices. 1t has been almost
definitely decided to nominate for the
first time a South American cardinal
in the person Of the archbishop Of Rio
de Janeiro, but as the appointment
might revive a claim on the part of
Argentina, and possibly on the part
of Chile also, for like honors, the
Vatican has informed all the South
American republics that the distinc-
tion is being conferred, not on one
special country, but on a deserving
man. It is probable that cardinalates
will be given to Hungarians and Ital-
ians. but none will go to Great Britain
or the United States.

RUSSIA AGREES ON
TERMS OF PEACE
Dimculty in Ending War Lies in
Settling Indemnity Question.
Hay RISK ANOTHER BATTLE

London, Feb PA dispatch to Reu-
eer's Telegram company from st. Pc
Gersburg confirming the Associated
Press advices Of February II and 18
from st. Petersburg, to the effect that
peace was under consideration, adds:
''The question of peace has not only
been formally discussed, but the condi-
fions on which Russia is prepared to
make peace have practically been
agreed upon. These are as follows:
Korea to be placed under Japanese
suzerainty.
Port Arthur and the Lao Tung
peninsula to be ceded to Japan.
"Vladivostok to be declared q neu-
Gral port, with an open door.
THE Eastern Chinese railroad to be
placed under neutral international adj
ministration.
"Manchuria as far north as Harbin
20 be restored as an integral part Of
the Chinese empire.
''The difficulty lies in settling the
question of indemnity, upon which It is
known that Japan insists, but it is
thought that this difficulty is not in
guperabie.
''The most trustworthy opinion in
st. Petersburg is that in view Of the
internal situation and the enormous
difficulty in carrying on the war, peace
on the terms outlined will be con-
cluded within a comparatively short
time If the indemnity question can be
arranged, but it is quite possible that
Russia will risk another battle before
= decision is reached"

1876 Witnesses.
Chicago, Feb. 22.-United States Of
ficials commenced one of the most ex-
haustive inquiries ever started under
the Sherman antitrust act by issuing
subpoenas for 1856 witnesses, calling
for a federal grand jury to sit March
20 and making full arrangements for
producing complete evidence regarding
the operations of the packers in Chi
cago and other packing centers in
merited detail. Ten deputy United
States marshals were sent out to serve
the subpoenas.
The men summoned will be taken
before the grand jury and an attempt
will be made to indict persons re-
strained by Judge Grosscup's beef trust
decision, which recently was sustained
by the United States supreme court.
Much secrecy was maintained con-
eerning the affair, and the deputy mar
shals were dispatched under orders to
serve the subpoenas Immediately and
to make public no facts concerning the
affair.

MANY Rumors In s.. petersbura.

Many Rumors In ST. Petersburg.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 22.-Even in the
midst of his grief over the death of
Grand Duke Sergius. evidence exists
that Emperor Nicholas is giving his
attention to political developments;
but reports as to his intentions are
conflicting. Indications point towards
q decision to revive the Zemsl1y Sober,
and some rumors even give the date
when the proclamation convening that
body will be issued. These rumors,
however, probably are premature; but
there is little doubt In the best-in-
formed quarters that the emperors de-
cision will be favorable, although It is
understood that the court party is still
nghting desperately for time, main
tanning that 1t would be an irreparable
blunder to yield in the face Of terror
ism, even If it should be advisable
later on.
Some persistent reports declare that
Emperor Nicholas not only has de-
cided to convoke a representative body,
but that he also is bent on making
peace. He is represented to have taken
this decision chiefly on the advice Of
Emperor William. The conditions Of
peace which Russia can accept are
freely discussed here. The only obsta-
Gle to peace is said to be the question
Of indemnity, which Russia will refuse
to pay.
While peace reports are circulating
in official and other quarters in st. |
Petersburg, the information reaches |
the Associated Press that General !,
Kuropatkin is industriously preparing
TO try final conclusions with Field
Marshal Oyama, and that a decisive
battle may be expected within a fort
night.
According to the latest reports, EN-
peror Nicholas is greatly dissatisfied
with the conduct of General Gripen-
burg while he was in Manchuria, and
that he has not only sustained General
KuTopatkin, but has ordered General
Gripenburg to return to his post. It is
gossip in court circles that General
Gripenburg's face was far from cheer
full when he left the emperor's cabinet.

Two Men Burned to Death In Shanty
Near 5urnham, Pa.
I.ewistown, Pa, Feb. %. - Peter
Morrow, aged 4S years, of Youngs-
town, o., and Shorty" McMann, aged
80 years, of Hays Station, near Pitts
burg, were burned to death in a shanty
near Burnham. Morrow was a heater
and McMann a rougher, and had OBJ
tanned work at the Logan Iron Works
at Burnham. Being strangers in the
neighborhOod and not having found
permanent lodging, it is believed the
men were spending the night in the
shanty. The coroner's jury rendered a
verdict of accidental death, but evil
dence found after the verdict was
given is Of such character as to indi-
cate foul play, and the case may be re-
opened by the coroner.

MRS.CHADWTCK HAS
Sl,OOO,OOO HIDDEN
It is All in Cash and Where Only
She Can Get It
CAUGHT WHEN ABOUT TO FLEE


Cleveland, O., Feb. 2O.-one million
dollars is the amount believed to be
hidden by Mrs. Cassie L. Chadwick.
Collector of Customs Leach has so
ninutely traced the operations Of this
woman during the last four years that
he is in a position to know that the
item saved from her many financial
transactions is $1,000,000 in cold cash.
In addition to this sum, the woman
has just as safely placed $15O,O0O worth
Of jewels.
Her arrest nipped plans right at
time when they were about to bloom.
A delay of a few more days would GER
tainly have placed Mrs. Chadwick, her
son, Emil Hoover Chadwick, and her
husband, DR.. Leroy S. Chadwick, in
Brussels, and Mrs. Chadwick's fortune
would then have been 100000.
It was her desire to make just one
more deal with $5O0,000 as the stake.
The action Of United States Attorney
John J. Sullivan in causing her arrest
when he did was the checkmate over
which spelled the word defeat. Strange
as it may seem, the men from whom
she wished to get this last s5OO,OOO
were the most severe in the criticism
Of the action of the United States at
torney, which they, at the time, char
acterized in bitter language as hasty
and ill-advised.
Among the federal authorities the |
belief is strong that Mrs. Chadwick |
was sanguine Of carrying to success
her deep-laid plans up to the time she
made her sensational flight from the
House in New York city. She
never wavered from her purpose Of
carrying them out until that time, not
the publicity which the
suit of Herbert Newton, of Broolline,
had precipitated. Had she been sue
cessful in eluding the secret service
men detailed to watch her, and the
newspaper men who thronged the ho-
tel where she was stopping, she would
have made her escape to Brussels in
Is direct a way as might be. There
'he would have settled down to enjoy
he proceeds Of her meteoric career
lmong bankers and money lenders.
In the event that Mrs. Chadwick
hould escape conviction under the
present indictments against her, the
United States treasury department will
AXE action against her.
