REFUSED TO REPLY

Bankruptcy Proceedings Refuses to
Answer Single Question, Declining
Even to Give Her Name.

Cleveland, Feb. 24.-Mrs. Chadwick,
when placed on the stand in the bank
ruptcy proceedings against her today,
before Referee Remington, refused at
first to be sworn. After consultation
with her attorneys she finally consent
ed to take oath. She was asked to
state her name. She refused to reply
to this or any other question that fol-
lowed.
Mrs. Chadwick sought refuge in her
privilege as an accused prisoner .and
refused to answer most questions -
the ground that what she said might
tend to aid the prosecution of her
criminal cases. The entire examina-
ton was series of wrangles and dis
putes between opposing counsel and
the referee and finally all sides agreed
to adjournment until March 13.

ALL su, WAR MUST GO ON.

Washington, %. 24.-p .Ie WnlLe
house and the state depart. ent, at the
Russian, French, German, British and
Italian embassies and the Japanese le-
cation positive statements We're made
yesterday that if, either Russia or Ja-
pan were thinking of proposing peace
# was a secret securely locked in the
foreign offices at st. Petersburg and
Tokio. The president had heard abso-
lurely nothing Of an avowed intention
on the part of Russia or Japan to sue
for peace, much less of an actual pro-
posal. Secretary Hay assured three
ambassadors that while this govern
ment continued ever hopeful for peace
and watchful there were no indications
that the time for peace was near.
Sir Mortimer Durand, the British
ambas dor, is the close personal
friend Of Ssard Lansdowne, and in
touch with the British foreign office.
The ambassador had a long talk with
Secretary Hay, He placed not the
sliehtest confidence in the rumors of
peace. That Japan had asked anybody
to propose peace he said he did not be-
Neve.
Baron Won Sternberg, the German
ambassador has heard nothing from
his foreign office on the subject. This
much can be stated on the best au-
Ithority that the president, Emperor
William and King Edward will scrup-
ulously avoid intervening unit! it is
certain their services are desired by
the belligerents.
Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador said talk of peace was never be-
fore more absurd than now. The am
bassador had positive information from
the very highest officials in st. Pc
tersburg that the war would be prose-
cuted with increasing vigor. 1t was
expected that General Kuropatl1in with
the opening Of the spring campaign
would accomplish much, in view of the
reinforcements he had received. The
emperor had every confidence in his
military ability.
"The peace talk can have but one
object" said Ambassador Cassini, "the
assistance of a Japanese loan. l can
ireiterate, in the light of recent advices
u have received, in the most emphatic
manner that the war in the far east
will end when Russia is victorious and
not a moment before
Equally positive statements We're
made at the japanese legation that
Japan is preparing to follow up the
victories of last autumn with even
more decisive battles in the spring.

Warsaw, Feb 24.-The police Of this
city threaten to strike for higher pay.
They constitute an independent force,
paid by the city, and receive So per
month and uniforms. The police sub
sist chiefly on money obtained from
other sources.
The operating departments of the
Warsaw division of the ST Peters,
burg railway have struck, but train
service is maintained with the aid of
the army and railway corps. The
strike on the Vienna and Vistula rail-
way continues. The military occupy
gas works, employees of which threat
en- to strike tonight. A policeman was
shot and killed by a student in a dis
turbance at Vienna railroad station
guarding the telegraph lines of War
saw and st. Petersburg railroad fear
ing the strikers will cut off commune
cation between two cities. Mails from
Warsaw to Lodz, a distance OF sixty
miles have been delivered in carts. The
railroad strikers of Lodz who are
coming here to attend the conference
with the strikers of Warsaw are
Obliged to travel by road
Warsaw, Feb. 24.-Imperial Councillor
Meinkin who, because of the illness Of
Governor General L. Chertkoff, is vir-
tually acting governor general of Po-
land, today said, that with the excep-
tion of Warsaw condition of affairs
thruout Poland was improving, strik-
ers were returning to work and dis
turbances decreasing. Regarding War
saw the councillor said the situation
was very unsatisfactory. The strik-
ers returned to work one day and walk
ed out the next. The most serious
matter at present was the strike on the
Vienna and Vistula railroad, both of
which belong to the government.
Therefore, it is necessary to obtain
permission from ST. Petersburg before
the demands of the workmen for a ten
hour day and higher wages can be
guaranteed. He asserted the agitation
undoubtedly was entirely socialistic
and said there was no trace of its be-
ing of a revolutionary character.

Harmonize Statehood Bill.

Washington, Feb "a - Efforts to
harmonic differences over the state
hood bill were continued fruitlessly in
the senate today. There seemed to be
no disposition on the part of the
friends of the proposition for two
states to be made of four territories
to accept a. compromise permitting
Oklahoma and Indian Territory to
come in at the present session and
compelling other territories to wait.
When this was proposed today, it was
insisted the house would not agree to
such an arrangement.
