MORE DEVELOPMENTS
 IN THE DECO CASE
Bloody Garments Are Found by Neuro Woman in Room of Will
 A. Hasson.

Gadsden, January 12.-(Special. .)-Some new developments in the Womack mur- der case have been brought to light with in the last few days and since the pre- liminary trial ended in the refusing of bond to Yolanda Degg, who Is the self confessed slayer of Aubrey Womack
 An old negro woman, who cleans up rooms for various young men in the city, has turned over to the sheriff and solici- tor some undergarments which it is claimed belong to VIII A. Hasson, who was present at the time Womack was killed. She states that when she went to the room of Hason, where he was in the habit of staying before he went astray, on the Monday morning after the murder she found several undergarments in the room which were saturated with blood and the bowl filled with bloody water. She poured out the water and took the clothes to her home and at tempted to wash out the blood but failed and last Sunday she turned them over to the officers. Some facts about the shielding of Hasson and the manner in which he got away from the city are like ly to come out soon and a greater sensa- tion than the murder will be sprung upon the people, who even now half suspect that something underhand has been done Startling developments are expected at almost any time

Railroad Employees Have Grievance.

Philadelphia, January 12.-The com mittee of employees representing Penn sylyania railroad trainmen who have been conferring with w. w. Aterbury, general manager of the road, with a view to adjusting certain grievances, has adjourned it's sessions. MT. Alter bury will make answer to their argu- ments, but not for several weeks. The committee representing the firemen oD several divisions of the road, who are resisting the dismissal of front" brake men on heavy freight trains, will meet MT. Atterbury again within few days. --------------- Spencer stated that in the ten years prior to 1901, only thirty-one cases of dis crimination between localities had come before it, and only one of these had been sustained by the courts These, when taken in connection with the 100000 miles of railroad, and the forty-five states of the union indicated to his mind that no new authority need be given on this argument. If any party should be granted, there would be localities which would immediately bring forth the claim that it was discriminated against. in or der to secure additional advantages if possible.
 Taking up the subject of unreasonable rates, MT. Spencer referred to the state ment which had been made to the com mission that rates were thirty-three thousandths of one per cent. higher for 1903 than in 1899. making to Il raise of sl55. GOO, 900. This he conceded to be true when the gross receipts were taken into consideration. The returns to the roads has been less than in 1899. which was a had year as to rates.

ARCHBISHOP MAKES CORRECTION
Says He Did Not Recommend National Church of United States.

London, January 12.-There has been given out a letter written by the Arch bishop of Canterbury to a correspondent who called his attention to the article in a recent number of the New York Churchman. It appears that the Church. man held that the primate in a recent letter advocated the establishment of some branch of religion as the National church of America. The archbishop of Canterbury emphatically denies that he had any intention of conveying such an idea, and says:
 Nothing could have been further from my thoughts or wishes. The whole circumstances of the history and char acter of the constitution of the United States renders such a notion entirely out of the question"
 Continuing the archbishop points out that the National church of England Is an absolute necessity as a part of her existence; such fact, he says, is pos sible in the old country. but impossible in America.

IDAHO POLITICS

MAJORITY OF DEMOCRATS oP- POSED THE UNNECESSARY AT TACK" ON MORMON CHURCH IN THE REGENT CAMPAIGN.

Washington, January 12.-Nearly the entire day in the Shoot investigation was devoted to testimony relating to politi- cal conditions in Idaho. Frank Martin and F. H. Holzheimer, prominent Idaho democrats. testified that majority of the democrats of the state opposed ''an unnecessary attack on the Mormon church. which they said was the effect of the anti -polygamy plank of the party 8 state platform.
 James H. Brady, chairman of the re- publican state committee, told of taking advantage of the democratic charges in order to get votes for the republican ticket. He charged also that the demo- crats traded off Judge Parker, the demo- cratic candidate for President, for votes for former Senator Heitfeld, the demo- cratic candidate for governor

St. Petersburg, January 12-The govern- ment seemingly is about to make the ir- revocable decision that prestige abroad and the situation at home. require the continuation of the war till peace with dignity is possible.
 Beyond this point, however, confusion exists especially regarding the immedi- ate development of the interior situation Emperor Nicholas is still apparently va cillating as to whether he shall allow M. Witte full sway, in the meantime declin- ing to permit Prince Sviatopolk Mirsky to retire. The latter persists in the view that the confidence of the people in the manner in which the reform manifesto is to be worked out Is vital, and that this is impossible if the work is to be left completely in the hands of the bureauo- crats. Direct consultation with the repre- sentative classes interested, he holds, is essential
 It has now been definitely established that the third section of the manifesto, as it was originally drafted by Minister Sviatopolk- Mirsky, provided for represen- tation of the zemstvos In the council of the empire, and that it was stricken out against his earnest protest.
 Prince Sviatopolk-M Mirsky's retirement from the Ministry of the Interior con- tinues to be considered as only a matter of short time, although there Is seeming evidence that the Emperor hopes by tenn porarizing to avoid the necessity of con- centrating the reins of power in the hands of M. Witte.
 Should a real storm break, however, no one doubts that M Witte is the one strong man in sight who can be called to the bridge. The lack of cohesion and alignment of the forces opposed to the existing state of things and mutual dis
