Roy Kidnapped.

New York, Sept. 28.-The police and
detectives of Brooklyn today are seeking
trace of Antonio Mareanina, the six. year
old son of merchant. living at No. 55t
Seventeenth street. Mareanina, who j:
employed by Michael J. Daily, CON
tractor, is regarded by his neighbors a:
we'll off. The police are taking unusual
interest 10 the case, as the boy is a cousin
of Antonio Mannino, who was kidnap-
ped in practically the same manner about
a year ago. The demands for ransom
money in both cases have been identical,
and it is thought the same gang is blame
for both kidnappings. Since the disap'
pearance OF his boy Mareanina has re.
ceived four letters The first demanded
$500 for the return of the child. The
last letter received said that unless the
money was paid, and quickly, the boy
could be 'sent home in bOx". The
boy disappeared about noon Sunday,
He was playing in the street with severn
companions when, the other children
say, two men dressed in dark clothes,
called the boy to the corner of Fifth ave
nue. and Seventeenth street. The boy
went around the corner with the mel
and that was the last seen of him. The
children we're able to give only pOol
description of the men to the police, who
kept the matter quiet until today.

Death of w. H. Peckham.

w. H. Peckham, the well-known
lawyer, died yesterday in his Office at 80
Broadway, New York. His death was
sudden, for when he started for his office
from his summer home in MorristOwn,
n. j., yesterday morning, he was feel
ing better than he bad for sometime.
Wheeler Hazard Peckham was born
in Albany in 1888 and came from a
family of LAWYERS. lis father was Ru-
fus w. Peckhqn', Who was elected dis
trict attorney Of Albany county in 1898,
and who persisted in the wreck of the
Wills du Havre, November %, 1878.
In politics Mr.. Peckham was demo-
crat, although he always insisted on his
right to refuse to support unworthy can
didates. He was frequently delegated to
State and national conventions. and his
opinion and advice were always well
coined.
In January, 1894, President Cleve-
land nominated Mr.. Peckham for the
Supreme Court at time when ne was
president of the New York State Bar AS
sociation. The nomination, however,
was not confirmed by the Senate, be-
cause of the opposition of the New York
senators to Mr.. Peckham's antimachine
democracy. In 1896 he took a firm
stand in favor of sound money.

A Generous BeQuest.

James L. Bowen, an aged resident of
Craig county, who long ago was a
pupil in the blind department of the
State School for the Deaf and the Blind at
Staunton, dying last month left a farm
and other property valued at So, to
the institution to provide for gifts and
Christmas presents for the poor pupils
there. The board sees that each pupil
is provided for at Christmas, yet the de-
ceased probably hsd in mini that some
of the pupils there are so friendless that
they come to the school very lightly clad
and that those who are friendless should
have "a Christmas box from home" like
unto the rest.

Riots in Budapesth.

Between 40 and 80 persons were injur-
ed in riots at Budapesth, Hungary yester-
day evening, when socialists and adhe-
rents of the coalition parties, including
students, clashed opposite the Royal
Hotel, and for two hours there were
scenes of tremendous excitement. The
Royal Hotel is the headquarters of the
Independence Club, in which the council
room of the coalition leader, is located.
The students End other supporters of
the coalition had arranged for gigantic
torchlight procession last night, but dur
ing the day the socialists issued inham-
matory proclamations calling on all so
cialists aud others opposed to the cOali-
ton to gather and fight for their rights,
which they said the coalition was trying
to sidetrack under cover of an alleged af-
front by the King Emperor to the whole
nation. Owing to these proclamations
the coalition leaders decided to postpone
the torchlight procession, seeking thus
to avoid bloodshed.
At o'clock about 1000 socialists
gathered outside the Independence Club
and announced their intention of enter
ing and tearing down the council room.
A large force of police was present and
was assisted by $50 prominent citizens.
The committee OF the coalitionists has
issued a manifesto to the nation in reply
to the programme submitted to its lead
ers by the Emperor King. The mani
iesto declares that some points of his
Majesty's programme are not in con-
formity with the constitution, referring
especially tc his contention that the
question of the language of command in
the Hungarian army must be entirely
eliminated from discussion. 1t is as
serted that this is equivalent to the abo-
lition of the nations right to control its
own affairs, for which there is no legal
authority.
The newspapers charactize the state
ments of the Austrian Premier, Baron
Gautch Won FrankenthurD, in the Reichs-
rath Tuesday as unwarrantable interior
ence with Hungary's internal affairs.
The old trouble between Hungary and
Austria, between the Magyars and the
Germans, with which Emperor Francis
Joseph has had to contend over since he
mounted the throne, nearly so years ago,
and which was not new then, has
reached particularly acute stage and
may result in the long-tbreatened dis.
ruption of Austria Hungary, although
such an event may not be in the plans
of the leaders in the present struggle.

The Currency.

Clevelond, Ohio, Sept. 2S.-Secretary
Shaw speaking before the annual con-
vention of the Ohio Bankers Association
in this city today, said IN part "The
fact, and | think it is a fact, that the
United States has the best currency sys-
TEN in the world, does not imply that
the currency system of the United States
is perfect or that it cannot be improved.
1t is as safe as any system in the world
because it is established on the only safe
basis known to man, the gold standard.
"The system is not perfect largely be-
cause it is nonelastc. 1t fails to respond
in volume to the changing needs of sea-
Sous and localities. Attention has been
called to this many times, and by many
people. That there will be no further
currency legislation until we shall have
experienced panic OccasiOned by this
want of elasticity am convinced"

Steamer Launched.

Belfast, Ireland, Sept. 2S.-The new
steamer of the Holland-American line,
the New Amsterdam, OF 1900
tons, was launched today at the
yards of Harland q Wolff, and
her dip into the water was marked by
many exciting incidents. A strong wind
drove the vessel up the river and she ran
down a buoy. She then drifted ashore,
and, when got of, struck the pier head
wall, completely blocking the river until
tugs could secure her. One man was
badly injured during the launching.
The New Amsterdam is of II, 600 horse
power, and it is expected that she will
have a speed of seventeen knots. She is
500 feet in length, and has beam of

ten declared that he would end all his
troubles some day and had made attempts
on his life before, Mrs. Herrell became
alarmed when her husband did not come
home last night, and sent her son to fad
him. The sight that greeted the young
bow when he discovered dis father prone
upon the floor of the bath room in the
vacant house with a rubber tube pro-
truding from his mouth and the other
end attached to the gas jet, the window
cracks stuffed with paper and all the
signs that indicated premediated suicide,
made the child frantic with grief.
His first act was to run to his home on

from the 9th street house and notify his
mother A passing policeman was noti-
fed. The coroner investigated the case
later, giving a certificate of suicide.
Herrell, who came to this city from Ber-
ryville, several months ago, TO seek en-
ployment, is a jobbing contractor and
expected to procure work in Washing

Destruction of a Steamer.

Port Said, Egypt, Sept. 2S.-The British
steamer Chatham which was sunk in the
canal on September 6, because she was
on fire and quantity of dynamite in her
hold threatened to explode, was blown
up this morning. Two mines contain
ing 500 pounds of gelatine dynamite
were placed under the vessel and were
exploded by electricity from a point
three miles away. Ninety tons of dyna-
mite were in the hull of the Chatham
and terrific explosion followed. The
vessel was blown to pieces. The wreck
age now entirely blocks the canal and
all traffic has been stopped. 1t is be-
lieved that little damage was done to the
canal, although it had been feared that
the bed would be badly injured by such
a tremendous explosion. Further par
ticulars giving exact details, however,
are awaited with the greatest anxiety
The explosion occurred at point twelve
miles from here and a train bearing
newspaper correspondents has been SEM
to the spot.
1t is hoped to reopen the Suez cana
within four days as the wreckage is be-
ing cleared away. The closing of the
canal, to avoid all danger during The
blowing up of the Chatham has caused
great congestion of shipping, resulting
in immense loss and sending the prices
of goods up so per cent. Late reports
received from the scene of the explosion
indicate that the canal was not badly
damaged, by the blowing up of the
vessel.

Treatment of Consumption.

more frequently by the general public,

NJ Wife Reaches Home.

st. Petersburg, Sept. 2S.-M. Witte
arrived home at S.26 this morning at
an hour when most of the citizens Of
St. Petersburg were asleep. The rail-
way station was filled with officials OF
the Ministry of Financed and with per-
sonal friends of the peace ENJOYS and
many newspaper men, but there were
no crowds in the streets to greet the re-
turning statesman who had brought
peace to his country. M. Witte pro-
ceeded at once 10 his home, where he
was ioyously greeted by Madame White.
He was the recipient of numerous floral
offerings, which had been sent to his
home. The unusually cordial reception
which was accorded to NJ. Witte by the
Kaiser, during the envoy's visit to the
German ruler, has made deeper i'm
preston here that did all of NJ. Whites
work at Portsmouth. His enemies have
been frightened by the Keiser's very
evident friendship for him, and even the
Gar has been greatly impressed by the
high favor in which NJ. Witte is held
by Emperor William.
Before leaving the station NJ. Witte
made short address to the officials and
friends who had gathered to greet him.
As the envoy descended from the train,
the spokesman of the crowd made short
speech expressing the appreciation of the
people for his services in concluding the
war. NJ. White made a suitable response.

TOday's Telegraphic News
Final Meeting.

Paris, Sept. 2S.-The final meeting
between NJ. Revolt, the French repre-
sentative, who has been in charge of the
negotiations in regard to the proposed
international conference on Moroccan
affairs, and DR.. Rosen, the German
Minister to Morocco, has been announced
for this afternoon. 1t is expected that
after their conference Premier Rou-
vier will receive both diplomats and
the agreement reached by France and
Germany on the subject will be signed.
Paris, Sept. 2S.-An official announce
ment was made today that an agreement
had been reached with Germany on the
Moroccan question.
Paris. Sept. 2S.-The formal announce
ment of the agreement between Germany
and France in regard to Morocco, out
lining the programme of reforms to be
considered at the proposed conference OF
the powers, was signed this afternoon.
The text of the agreement as it has been
set out, gives the greatest satisfaction
here as the outcome of the negotiations
is regarded as complete diplomatic
victory for France, inasmuch as she
gains all the points on which she took
issue with Germany. On the other hand,
the view is held that Germany has al
lowed herself to be placed in an absurd
position. She insisted upon certain con-
dtions almost to the point of causing a
rupture of friendly relations with France,
and then gracefully acceded to the
French demands.
Berlin. Sept. 2S.-The claim is made
here that Germany made extensive'con-
cessons to secure the peaceful agree
ment today with France in regard to
Morocco. In the negotiations just closed
it is asserted that Germany assumed the
role of self-sscri6cing apostle of peace.
1t is certain that Germany conceded
more than France did ir order to settle
the long pending disputes which threaten
ed at times to become serious. Ger
many's aim, apparently, is to conciliate
France on the Moroccan question, which
is of minor importance, in the hope OF
paving the way for general rapproache-
ment which will be favorable to her de-
sire to form a coalition of the powers to
Offset the recent Anglo-Japauese alliance.

THAT THE Equitable Life Assurance
Society has for years been furnishing the
funds with which its officers and direct
ors engaged 10 syndicate operations, and
that the profits from these operations are
most difficult of discovery from the
books, was clearly established at yester'
davis hearing before the Armstrong leg
islative committee in New York. The
principal witness WAS II. h. Win
throp, financial manager of the Equit-
able. From his testimony it was shown
that the "and associates" syndicates
which have figured so largely in the
Eonitable scandal were in full and regu-
lar command of the society's funds. That
these syndicates realized profits was
proven, but Mr.. Winthrop confessed
repeatedly his inability to find where
the profits realized from this use of the
society's money had been paid into its
treasury, or, at least, entered upon Its
books. 1t was shown that $l10, 294,
representing profits which should have
gone TO the Equitable in syndicate trans
actions, was either missing altogether
or unaccounted for on the sOciety's
books, and that campaign gifts and lob
byists fees were paid from the notorious
$685., 600

As coroner's jury was yesterday
drawing up verdict at Elizabell, the
county seat of Bryan county, Ga, de-
claring w. E. Simms guilty OF murder,
the outlaw, heavily armed, strobe into
the courthouse where the jury was at
work, waited till the verdict was written
out, then snatched it from the fore
mans hand and tore it up, meanwhile
swearing that he would kill any man
who ever aided in drawing up another
verdict against him. Simms has created
reign Of terror in Bryan county. In the
last three weeks he has killed three men,
and he declares that he intends to kill
others. Many persons have sought safety
in flight, rather than take a chance OF
being killed by the desperate. All of
the witnesses who testified in the court
house against Simms have left Elizabell,
where Simms is guarding himself from
attack from the officers and where he de-
clares he will eventually kill all who
have given the officers any information.
The sheriff seems to De powerless, and
the governor has been asked to order
troops 20 the comfy to put an end to the
terror existing. Slmms comes of prom
inent family, and has relatives all through
the county.
