Hoch was arraigned in court to-day in
the expectation that he would be turn
ed over to officers from Chicago. it was
found that the extradition papers had
not arrived and he was remanded ia
police heaquarters.
A detective explained that the pa
pers had been in Albany since Friday
awaiting the signature Of Governor
Higgins, but that the governor had
left for New York without signing
them. It is expected the papers will
be received on Wednesday morning
and that the prisoner will probably
start for Chicago on that day.
Additional charges were made
against Hoch to-day Of having married
three women in New York. It was also
learned to-day that in the search of

MYSTERIOUS FIRE AT
WILbISTON SEMINARY
STUDENT FOUND UNCONSCIo US
ON FLOOR OF HIS ROOM.
Occupants of Dormitory Attracted by
Cries of Agony Rush to Third Floor
to Find it in FIames-YounE Man in
Serious Conditional Belief That He
Was Assaulted-Students Mum.

Easthampton, Mass, Feb. 6.-Will-
lam c. Porter, a member of the senior
class at WilIiston seminary, and the
eighteen years old son of New York
physician, was the victim of a mys-
terious accident tonight. At the same
time or Immediately following the ac-
cident, North hall, the dormitory in
which the young man roomed, caught
fire and before the flames could be ex-
tinguished a monetary loss estimated
at $4,000 was sustained. The school
authorities will make searching in
vestigation of the case.
Attracted by cries of agony several
other students in the building rushed
to the third floor and discovered that
the upper part of the front section was
in flames. Young Porter was found
unconscious on the floor of his room.
He was first thought to be suffering
from burns and overcome by smoke,
and was removed to a private resi-
dence near the school. Z I
DR.. Oliver C. Cobb was summoned,
and after a thorough Investigation an
nounced that Porter had not received a
burn nor inhaled any smoke. The ply
sician discovered, however, that the
student had suffered some sort of an
injury in the pit of the stomach, the
nature of which could not be immedi-
ately determined, though the doctor
said later that the injury appeared to
have been caused by an assault.
Up to a late hour Porter had not re-
gained consciousness, and the origin
of the fire had not been explained.
One theory is that lace curtain came
in contact with gas jet. Though it
is believed that Porter was not alone
at the time of the accident, no one can
be found who was with him.
The loss by fire was confined to the
two upper floors Of the hall which were
Quilted. Some thirty-five students who
had lodgings on these floors lost all
their effects.
At later hour it was said that Por-
ter would recover from his injuries.

cured by James S. Metcalfe, a dramatic
critic, Daniel Frohman, Oscar Hammer
stein, Marc Klaw, Abraham L. Erlan-
ger, Al Hayman and Charles w. Burn
ham, theater managers, appeared in
police court to-day for examination to
determine whether they have entered
into an unlawful conspiracy to exclude

earning livelihood, and requests that
warrants be issued for their arrest.
Assistant District Attorney Paul Krotel
acted in behalf of Mr.. Metcalfe. The
case was put over without decision un-

st. Petersburg, Feb. 6-7.45 b. M
The Associated Press is authorized to
announce that not the slightest inform
alton has been received at the war office
regarding the alleged illness or resig-

contrary, the war Offices information

The version of the departure OF Gen

general left the front because he ex-
ceeded General Kuropatkin's orders in
pushing beyond Sandepas and needless

REV. Mr.. STOKES DECLINES
CANNOT ACCEPT ST. PAUL,S
SCHOOL RECTORsHIP.

cides That His Duty Lies just Where
He Now Is-HoIds Very High Regard
for the school as He, Himself, is One
of Its Old Boys. ST.
Concord, N. H., Feb. 6.Rev. Anson
Phelps Stokes, jr., secretary of Yale
university, has declined to accept the
rectorship of st. Paul's school tender
ed him by the board Of managers.
Bishop William Woodruff Niles, pres
ident of the board, in statement on
the subject today, said: THE Rev.
Anson Phelps Stokes, secretary of
Yale university, and assistant rector Of
st. Pauls church of New Haven, Conn,
after a careful consideration of the
matter, has finally decided that he can
not accept the election to the rector
ship of st. Paul's school, rendered him
two months ago. Mr.. Stokes has been
at great pains to have it understood
that he is brought to this decision not
by any want of very high regard for
st. Pauls school, for its ideals, aims,
spirit and history, or want of affection
for it, as he himself is one Of its 'told
boys" Were he going to another work
than that in which he is now engaged,
right gladly would he cast his lot with
the school. But he cannot escape the
conviction that his duty lies just where
he now is, the somewhat unique
place which has opened itself to him
in Yale university.

HOUSE TAKES UP THE

RULE ADOPTED PREVENTING
AMENDMENT 10 MEASURE.
Democrats, Led by John Sharp Will

Enough Republicans With Them to
Pass Bill Embodying All the Views
of the President.


of the President.
Washington, Feb. 6.-Following weeks
of hearings and conferences by the
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce, as well as urgent recon-
mendations of the president on the sub
ject, the house of representatives to-
day began debating the proposed legis-
lation looking to the regulation of rail-
road freight rates. This action was
taken only after opposition by the dem
ocrats, led by John Sharp Williams, of
Mississippi, the minority leader, to the
adoption of a rule which would shut out
opportunity to amend the bill. Two
republicans, Messrs. Southwick and
iVreeland, of New York, voted against
the rule, and one democrat, Gaynes, of
Tennessee, voted for it. Otherwise
party lines were tightly drawn.
In criticising the committee on rules
for shutting off all opportunity for
amendment Mr.. Williams contended
that if that opportunity were given the
democrats had with them a sufficient
number of republicans to pass a bill
embodying in all its particulars the
views Of the president. He offered to
surrender all the time allotted to his
side for debate, as well as to forego a
vote on the minority substitute, il
amendments would be allowed to be Of
fered, but the appeal was refused by
the majority. Mi. De Almond, of Mis-
souri,, charged that. the right to amend
had been denied lin the narrowness of
shallow partisanship." Z
The fairness of the rule to all mem
bers was declared by Mr.. Dalzell to be
apparent, since it afforded full opportu-
nifty to vote on both bills offered by the
two parties. The rule was also defend
ed by Mr.. Grosvenor, of Ohio.
Messrs. Townsend, Of Michigan, one
Of the authors Of the bill under consid-
Grafton, and Richardson, of Alabama,
occupied the remainder Of the day in
discussing it, both sounding a note of
warning to the railroads that unless
they Joined hands with congress in the
matter the people would demand dras-
tic legislation.

ST. PETERSBURG MOBILES
PETITION The EMPEROR
STAND WITH PEOPLE FOR VOICE
INGOVERNMENT.

Iieve That, Provided Union Of Throne
and Nation is Supported by Conf
dence ON the Part Of the Emperor,
Internal Troubles VIII Vanish.
st. Petersburg, Feb. 6.-The assembly
of the Mobiles of st. Petersburg to-day
adopted an address to Emperor Nicho-
las congratulating him on the birth of
the heir to the throne and assuring him
Of the confidence of the nation. The
address asserts that the union between
the autocratic monarch and his devoted
nation is mistaken by recent events at
home and abroad; points out that off,
cials and statesmen cannot solve all
questions, anI begs his majesty to per-
init of representatives Of the whole peo-
pie participating in the discussion and
legislation on government measures.
and says:
"Sire-We have met in troublous
times. Foes are attacking us, their aim
being to bring Russia to a shameful
peace, wiring from her distant terrific
ries and bring to naught the system of
the government which has been sane
toned by centuries. A way out of the
difficulties must be found. We realize
that every word addressed by your
majesty in this painful hour is weight
ed with grave responsibilities. We are
witnesses to your majesty's efforts to
secure the welfare of Russia. The de-.
cree of December 25 revived the hopes
of your subjects, who saw therein the
true salvation of the Fatherland. This
is not the first time dark clouds have
lowered over Russia, but, despite for
mer efforts to shake the basis of the
government, the country became
stronger and advanced proudly and
puissantly along the path of progress.
From union between an autocratic
monarch and devoted nation Russia
has ever derived strength which
neither the foreign foe nor the trouble
at home could exhaust.
Sire The nobility Of st. Petersburg
are convinced that this union is un-
shaken and must prevail. With the aid
of God our valiant troops, who are now
| sharing their lives for the emperor and
the Fatherland, viii crown the Russian
arms with fresh glory, and troubles at
home will cease.
Sire The whole nation awaits with
leagerness the fulf1lIment Of the inn
lperial will, but officials and statesmen,
lof whatever qualities and zeal, cannot
solve all the questions Of the nations
life. Your forefathers jhearkened to the
/ voice of Russians elected by the nation,
and this CUSTOM so far from weaken
ing, strengthened the autocracy and
aided 1t to attain its present greatness
"Sire--0rder now that elected repre-
sentatives of the country may raise
their voices to the throne and partici-
pate, in accordance with your sovereign
direction, In legislation and discussion
of governmental measures. The mobiles
of st. Petersburg sincerely believe that,
provided union of the throne and nation
is supported by confidence on the part
of the emperor, internal troubles will
vanish, and that all Russia will rise
and serve the sovereign faithfully for
the salvation and glory Of the country
and the confusion Of its enemies

Of 1853 to 20.
