Hopkins, OF Newport News, have been
confirmed at the White House as the
three republican patronage referees tor

a strong Bowden organization man.
Wolcot is regarded generally as an anti.

holder would not he acceptable as one
of the three patronage referees from this

is to have three referees. The list OF
30 referees submitted to and confirmed
by President Roosevelt was made up by

J. 5. McCUE must now prepare to
meet his early and unnatural death for
the murder of his wife The Court Of
Appeals, as stated yesterday, having re-
fused an appeal in his case aud denied
him a new trial, his only chance OF es-
CO ping the hangmaR's moose is the
Governors interference, and this, 1t Is
hardly believed, will be secured, although
it is more than likely that A short res
pite will be granted the unfortunate
man that he may make his final prep
arations. While few believe the cruel
murder was pfemeditated, the general
impression is that it was one of the most
heartlss ever committed in this State.
Should Governor Montague refuse to
respite, pardon or commute the sentence
McCue will die upon the gaIlOSs today
week The circumstances in connection
with the crime for which McCue is about
10 forfeit his life are still fresh i'll the
minds OF all. Mrs. McCue was muir
dered September 4; McCue was arrested
two days later charged with uxorcide;
and the following day corouer's jury
declared him guilty. His trial began
October Is and on November b the
jury brought in a verdict of guilty Of
murder in the first degree. Four days
later McCue was sentenced to be hanged
January 20. The evidence against the
accused was in the main circumstantial.
but il was of a nature incOntr )gertibe.
The past history OF McCue, his dual life
and the fact that his domestic relations
had long been strained, have made a
case against him hard to rebut. There
are but few people who give him the
benefit of doubt; the larger majority
having believed from the first that he
killed his wife, but under what circum-
stances no one probably viii ever know.

Toledo, Ohio, Jan. 1S.--The vault Of
the County Treasury 10 the Fulton

blown up by four cracks man at 2:SC
O'Clock this morning. The robbers Sc
cured IRON SIS, 900 to $4,000 They
escaped in a cutter and a buggy
A rear window of the building was
forced lopen, through which
the robbers entered the building.
From Il appearance of the safe, when

used in forcing the massive steel door.

from another, by the explosion but they
were bent and broken into a heap Of
junk.
Among the Debris was found 500
bill and a number of small coins and
bills, perhaps $50 in all, which was
blown from the safe when it was dyna-
mited. The robbery was discovered by

New York Stock Market.

New York. Jan. 13.--There was little char
acteristic to the stock maket throughout the
first hour and prices huetuated within com
paratiyely marrow limits. No new develop
ments in the news line were to be noted and
prevailing disposition seemed to be wait
ing one. The professional element was in.
rlined to sell short. After fractionable de-
elines in the larger part Of the list most Of the
losses were soon recovered. In the second
hour the market developed 6rmer tone and
cases to highest points Of the morning.

SENATE.

SENATE.
Some bad feeling was manifested in
the Senate today during the considera-
ton of motion to have Saturday set
aside for the District Of Columbia bust
ness, when Mr.. Galinger, chairman Of
the District committee, declared that he
was not to be moved by threats of Sena-
t..fs from the consideration of bill pro-
viding for the construction of new
street railway in Washington.
Mr. Burrows (Mich. } and Mr.. Bailey
Texas), who had suggested passage of
the Great Falls line measure, resented
the imputatiep.
Mr.. Bailey declared that "the Senator
from New Hampshire is not as polite as
he usually is
Good feeling was partially re-estab-
lished by Mr.. Galliuger declaring that
he had meant no discourtesy.
Owing to the opposition of Mr.. Bur-
rows, who is opposed to the Great Falls
street railway line entering Washington,
consent that Saturday be devoted 10 Dis
trict business was declined.

Cruelty of Rnssian General.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 1S.-News of al
most Unprecedented cruelty on the part
of Russian General has reached unof-
fetal circles here. While a review OF
troops was in progress at Fiedersia in
the province Of Touria, the onlookers
crowded in, hampering the drill. Gen
eral Tschetyrkin. who was reviewing
the troops, became enraged at the inter-
ference and rode into group of chill.
dren, slashing at them with his sword.
Four children were killed and ten
others were injured. The crowd made
desperate by the nnwonted heartlessness
of the commanding general, made sim
lister attempt to get hold of him, but the
general forced the troops to disperse them
with bayOnets.

DESPITE Gov Pennypscker's gratula'
tons that one OF Pennsylvania electors
chosen last fall was colored man, the
matter Of race prejudice in bis State
comes to the front almost daily. A dis
patch from Chester says the white and
negro boys Of the Franklin Street Public
School in that city have been indulging
in race war for some days. The white
boys belong to families that conducted
the underground railroad for negroes
during the civil war. There are prob
ably 40 negro lads at the school, and
twice as many white boys. Each recess
and each noon and evening hour there
are pitched battles in front of the build
ing and on the streets. The police are
frequently called TO quell the disturb
ances Bricks and sticks figure in the
melees, and the school authorities fear
they will have to suspend the entire
male section. All of this would be avoid
ed if the races were separated, IS na-
ture intended they should be.
