PROBING DEATH MYSTERY.
Paterson Officials Suspect That Young
Woman Was Murdered.

NEW YORK, February 27.-Investga-
tons begun by the police of Paterson n.
j., immediately after the half-clad body of
young woman was found near a railroad
track in that city last Saturday. have led
them to the conclusion that they have on
their hands case in many ways parallel
with the Jennie Bosschieter case of two
years ago. Already ten men are under ar
rest, and the officers claim that at least
one of them has made admissions which
warrant them in continuing the nvesti-
cation along the lines upon which it was
begun.
1t has been learned that the woman was
enticed to a lonely hut on the mountain
side, where she was piled with liquor and
her clothing stripped from her. Then she
either escaped from her captors or was
thrown out, almost naked to wander and
stumble in the snow and cold down the
mountain side, until she dropped down and
died where she was found.
That she battled with her assailants until
she was overcome the police believe. Clutch
ed in one hand of the dead woman was
lock of mans hair, apparently torn from a
head during struggle.
The identity of the dead woman has not
yet been established, although one of the
prisoners says she told him her name was
YonkerS. Other persons said they believed
she was a girl who formerly lived at a
small hotel in Sth avenue, this city.
When the woman's body was found lying
beside a railroad track in Paterson last
Saturday shoes, stockings and other outer
garments We're missing. Portions of these
articles later were found in stove in the
hut on the mountain when the officers went
there to investigate report that the girl
had been seer in company with members of
a gang of tramps who made their home
there. The arrest of ten members of the
gang followed According to some of the
prisoners. the woman went to the hut of
her own free will and wandered away to
her death while intoxicated. The police
theory, however, is that she was detained
at the place by force, that the liquor she
was given was drugged and that her cloth
ing was taken from her to prevent her from
running away.
They believe that she succeeded in elud-
ing her captors and was overcome while
seeking aid and friendly shelter.
After an autopsy on the woman's body
County Physician Mcbride said that death
had resulted from exhaustion superinduced
by exposure and ill-usage There were
many abrasionS and bruises on the body,
but all of them were superficial.

EXCITED TRADING CONTINUED.
Speculation Lively in Wall Street To.
day-Favorites Conspicuous.

NEW YORK, February 27.-The specula.
tive excitement of Saturday was carried
over into today's stock market but pro-
fessional operators held to their traditional
policy of selling to take profits in a strong
Monday morning market. The consequence
was a highly irregular movement of prices.
The volume of dealings was as large as
that of Saturday, and distribution of the
dealings amongst different issues was bet
ter than last week. The late favortes con-
tinued the most conspicuous, however, the
great trunk line stocks and Pacif1cs abb
sorbing a large share of attention. New
York Central and Union Pacific were very
heavily sold to take profits, while Penn
sylvania continued it's upward movement,
serving sustaining influence.
During the first hour of the excited trad
ing Union Pacific was carried ~ under
Saturday, New York Central IL, and Mime
apolis, ST. Paul and Sault Ste Marie 2A.
After the profit taking had spent part of
its force very large buying orders were put
into the market. and New York Central
spurted to 161. st. Paul to 1S1, and Penn
sylvania was lifted 1ss over Saturday MAX
ing new high levels on the movements for
all three stocks.
Union Pacific only got half over Sat
urday, and the renewed pressure to realize
on that stock unsettled the market again
and there were feverish reactions. South
ern Pacific was the next feature to come
into prominence and was rushed up to
701l absorption of long strings of a
thousand-share blocks and upward.

REGARDED LIGHTLY.
War Office Attaches No Importance to
Far East Fighting.

ST. PETERSBURG, February q, $40 p.
m-Aside from the news of the resumption
of the japanese attack on Gauto Pass the
war office has no dispatches from the
front, and does not attach great significance
to the fighting eastward, saying that the
forces engaged are comparatively small
though they are suffering heavily.
The Associated Press dispatches verify
this conjecture. The position at Tsink-
hetchen, about seventy miles east of Muk-
den is far advanced in comparison with
the general line, and the retirement of the
Russians was only far as the general
alignment, but the dispatches intimate that
the japanese are now concentrating against
the whole left flank, which is being heavily
reinforced in preparation for extensive
fighting.
A correspondent of the Associated Press
who has investigated personally the re-
ports that large forces of japanese are in
Mongolia says they do not exceed GOO Japa-
nese and 5000 Chinese bandits.

CALLERS ON SECRETARY HAY.
Mr.. Rockhil Discusses the Situation il
the Far East.

Mr.. W. W. Rockhill, who is to succeed
Mr.. Conger as United States minister at
Peking, having just returned from Europe.
whittier he went to fetch his daughter, who
is to accompany Mrs. Rockhill and himself
to Picking, called at the State Department
today to pay his respects and to discuss
with Secretary Hay recent events in the
far east. Mr.. Rockhill will probably sail
within a month for his post.
Another caller upon Secretary Hay was
Mr.. Edwin ". Morgan. United States con-
sui at Dalny. Mr.. Morgan was appointed
nearly year ago, but was never able to
reach his post, owing to the fact that DaIny
was and still is within the theater of war
However, Mr.. Morgan was employed by the
State Department to great advantage in
assisting the consular officers in Chefoo,
Shanghai, Niuchwang and even at the le-
cation at Peking. 1t is not yet settled
whether or not he will make another effort
to take up his post at Dalny, and. In fact,
there is to be q considerable rearrange-

ANDARA'S VISIT USELESS.
This Government Would Give No Such
Pledge as He Desires.

Having no official status so far as now
known, Joseph l.. Andara, who is repre-
sented as having arrived in New York as
an agent of an incipient revolution in
Venezuela, directed against President Cas-
tro, will probably not be able to personally
communicate with Secretary Hay when he
comes to Washington 1t is said to be out
Of the question for the State Department
to give any pledges to refrain from inter-
vention in Venezuela in the interests of a
revolutionary movement; in fact, the de-
partment could scarcely be expected to
admit that there was any possibility OF
Intervention in the internal affairs of a
friendly state either for against the
revolutionists, so that whatever is accom-
plished by Senior Andara toward aiding the
revolutionary party in Venezuela must be
entirely without reference to the State De-
partment.
The department has been advised by it's
agents from time to time of the growth
of the spirit of rebellion, but all of these
reports have placed the headquarters of
the movement outside of Venezuela proper.

LOST LETTER FOUND.
It Had Been Wandering Around Since
1857

letter which was mailed at Olena, Cal,
May 81, 1867, has just been received by
HI. HI. Wilson, master-at-arms of the
United States cruiser Pensacola. at Mare
Island, Cal. The letter was addressed to
Wilson & Evans, firm of firearms makers
which has not heen in existence for years.
Wilson sent the letter TO the postmaster at
San Francisco, who referred it to the Post
Office Department at Washington.
The writer of the letter was J. b. Tur-
ner, who wished loan of 500. He has
been located in Oregon by the Post Office
department, and says he had entirely for
gotten the circumstances. How that letter
was hidden in the mails for thirty-eight
years to be finally delivered to the adj
dressee and never get into the hands of the
dead letter office is mystery which can
only be solved by tracing it from point to
point in it's unusual career. 1t is supposed
that 1t got hidden away somewhere in the
debris of an office. to be years afterward
resurrected and sent on its way.

DENVER, Colo, February 27.-Printed
copies of the briefs of the findings of coun-
sci for James H. Peabody and Alva Adams

placed in the hands of each member of the
committee which heard the evidence in the
case and the committee began consideration
of the report, which is to be submitted to

bly, on Thursday next
Peabody's brief claims his election by
2433 majority, this result being reached by
rejecting the entire vote of 1O4 Denver pre-
cincts and number of precincts in Ad-
ans, Boulder, Conejos and Pueblo coun-
ties, which gave democratic majorities.
The claim is made that the returns from
these precincts are so permeated with fraud
that the true results of the election in them
cannot be determined.
Governor Adams brief claims that he has
a majority of 6,956 after eliminating all
precincts in which the fairness of the cleo
tion has not been proven.

THE STATEHOOD BILL
PROSPECTS FOR A COMPROMISE
NOT PROMISING.

The prospects of the statehood bill today
are very unpromising. AS the situation now
stands only by unanimous consents can any
statehood bill be passed through the Sem
ate. In the House of Representatives the
fate of statehood rests practically with half
dozen men. But in the Senate any one
senator may interpose with an objection,
and in the present crowded state of busi-
ness before the Senate that objection would
be sufficient to prevent any action the
bill.
But senators who interpose such objection
will have to take The responsibility for their
action 1t is understood that on the repub-
lican side there is a strong inclination %
ward compromise. 1t is believed thai
statehood for Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory alone would receive the approval of
every republican and of nearly every demo-
Crat. Two or three republicans have not
been inclined to accept such compromise,
but it is believed today. that they would
do On the democratic side there is op-
position which, it is feared by those who
wish to see at least some sort of statehood
bill pass. will prevent any possible
compromise going through the Senate.
Beside giving Oklahoma and Indian terri
tory joint statehood. leaving the balance of
the bill out of consideration, there is one
other possible basis for a compromise in
the Senate. that being the Foraker amend
ment allowing Arizona and New Mexico to
vote separately on the ratification of joint
statehood for those two territories.
But the prospects do not encourage any
one. No intimat ton that the House will ac-
cept these possible compromises, which
might be effected in the Senate, has been
received from that body.
Senator Bailey today offered an amend
ment to the Indian appropriation bill, Civ
ing Oklahoma and Indian territory joint
statehood without reference to the other
territories. This act caused good deal
of hostile criticism on the part~0f members
of the House. who declared that the House
would not stand for a rider of that kind on
an appropriation bill. Later Mr.. Bailey an
nounced to the Senate that in offering that
amendment he had acted in accordance
with requests that had been made of him
and that he did not intend such an amend
ment to interfere with any agreement that
the conferees might make on the statehood
bill In the event that the confereeS fail
to come to any agreement ii is possible that
a vote may be forced in the Senate on this
proposition. But il has not yet been deter
mined that that course will be desirable.
There will be a meeting of the conferees
on the statehood bill this afternoon before
) O clock. 1t is not expected that any re-
port will be decided upon at this meeting,
which is the first that has been called. 1t
will rather allow the conferees of the Sem
ate and House to have full discussion and
to determine in view of all the facts
whether it will be possible for them to bring
in any report which the Senate and the
House would be likely to agree.

A New Judge to Be Appointed.

Representative Jones of Washington. who
has succeeded in getting through Congress
a bill creating new judicial district in
the eastern part of Washington, saw the
President today to make some recommen-
dations. For judge of the new district Mr..
Jones, who was accompanied by ex-Gov-
ernor John H. McGraw, recommended Ed
ward Whitson, a prominent lawyer of
Spokane. 1t is said that there will be no
serious opposition to Whitson. For United
States attorney the Washington delegation
has about agreed upon State Senator Lind
sley of Spokane, and for marshal the man
who has the best of the situation is George
II. Baker. former national committeeman
of the republicans of Washington.
