MAYOR RICE OF HOUSTON
 NEVER KNEW {. F. JONES
NEPHEW OF MURDERED MILL IONAIRE TESTIFIES IN PAT-
 RICK CASE.

Refutes Testimony of Miss GailIard, the
 Texas School Ma'am--D0es Not Slap
 Criminals on the Back Denies Al-
 legged Street Car Conversation With
 Former Valet - Woman Recalled
 Sticks to Her Story-Bad Character
 of Some of the Men That Made Texas
 AfIidavits Testified To. New York, Feb. 2S.--Mayor H. Bald win Rice of Houston, Texas, was witness in the hearing on the motion for a new trial for Albert T. Patrick, who is under sentence of death for the murder of William Marsh Rice, the Texas millionaire. The mayor was a nephew of the murdered man. Mayor Rice denied the statements made by Minnie Gaillard, one of the witnesses for Patrick's counsel who had testi- fled that she overheard a conversati ton between Mayor Rice and Charles F. Jones, the millionaires former valet, while the mayor and Jones were rid- ing in a trolley ear in Houston, Texas.
 Did you ever sit in d street car with Charles F. Jones?' asked District At torney Jerome, who had called him as a witness
 NO, sir replied the mayor, q don't know him."
 Did you ever slap him on the back, and say, You carried out those instruc- tions, and ask him how his coffers were?"
 No, sir. The nephew of William H. Rice don't slap criminals on the back in Houston"
 The mayor said he knew Miss Gail- lard when he was about fourteen years old, but he had not seen her in years. She was asked stand up and did So. Do you know her?' he was asked.
 No, sir do not" The mayor said he was rot mentioned in the Rice will, nor had he contested 1t, but he received $2S.OOO as a compro- mise. His uncle, he said, had given him some land, and then left him out of his will, because he thought that was enough.
 When Mayor Rice was excused Miss Gaillard was called.
 Do you know Mayor Rice?" asked MT Jerome.
 Most certainly do" the witness re- piled, looking straight at the mayor,
 She repeated that her testimohy re- | garding her conversation in the street car in Houston was true. Chief of Police George Ellis, of Hous- ton, and Nathan E. Fuller, a police of ficer testified to the bad character of some of the men who had made the Texas affidavits.
 MT. Oicott, Patrick's counsel, said that he wished to file five or six new affidavits.
 Mir. Jerome objected to the filing of additional affidavits, and Recorder Golf ruled that he would not direct the dis trict attorney to receive the new affi- davits at the present time, but would take the matter under advisement, The hearing was adjourned until to-mor- row.

GREAT DEAL INVOLVING
 IMMENSE ORE DEPOSITS
U, s. STEEL TO TAKE CONTROL OF HILLS MESABA RANGE
 PROPERTIES.

It is Estimated that They Hold 300,O00,-
 900 Tons Which Delivered at Lake
 Erie Ports Would be Worth $1,125,-
 OOO,OOO-Terms of the Contract
 Lease for Thirty Years-Trust Must
 Over HiIIs Great Northern Railroad.
 Cleveland, Feb. 28.-It is stated that as great tonnage as all the ore mined in the Lake Superior ranges during the more than fifty years of their operation "a deal by which immensely valuable ore properties of James J. Hill on the Mesaba range are to pass into the con- trol of the United States Steel corpor- ation for period of thirty years-is about to be consummated, A special from Duluth to the Iron Trade Review says
 Although no announcement has been made, it is beyond question that all of the principal terms have been agreed upon and the contract drawn. It Is es- timated that the Hill interests have ore deposits amounting to 300O00,00O tons, which, delivered at Lake Erie ports, would be worth $1, ,125 100000. The terms of the contract provide that the Steel corporation shall take a lease on these properties for thirty years, and shall pay for the first two years 70 cents per ton for the ore mined and 80 cents for the carrying of the ore from the mines to Duluth on MT. Hills Great Northern railroad.
 Tt is further provided that after two years the price for ore in the ground shall be increased five cents every two years until at the end of twelve years the price shall be $1, and stay at that figure for the remaining eighteen years of the period
 Another important provision is that the Great Northern railroad shall be guaranteed freight amounting to 10000, 900 tons annually during the life of the lease. If mines other than those in the deal furnish the amount the Steel cor- any, but it must supply whatever is lacking of the stipulated tonnage.
 "The great advantage of this import ant transaction to the corporation is evident. It insures the corporation a tremendous tonnage and prevents the possibility of competing companies get ting control of these great deposits.
 Last year the Hill railroad carried 6,500000 tons of ore, and by the new arrangement it will largely increase this tonnage at a guaranteed rate which cannot be set aside by any legis- lation. The income which would result from the royalty would be fully $250,- 00o,O00 for all the ore, and the $S,000,O which will be earned by carrying the ore will, of course, be additional. II cannot, however, be stated with cer- tainty that the corporation will mine all the Hill ore in thirty years"
 It is understood that the question whether the quality of the ore is to bt guaranteed is still undecided.

BAD SETBACK FOR DURNOYO
ONE OF HIS ACTIONS DISAVoWED
 BY GOVERNMENT.

His Closing of the Central Bureau of
 the Constitutional Democrats De-
 nounced us q Fragrant Attempt to
 Interfere With the Elections-Con-
 demned Even by Conservatives. St. Petersburg, Feb. 28. The reac- tionary policy of Interior Minister Dur novo received another decided setback to-day when the action of the St. Pe- tersburg police in closing the central bureau of the constitutional democrats was disavowed by the government and the bureau was allowed to be reopened and the police were ordered to abstain from further interfering with the cam paign work of the party.
 This fragrant attempt to interfere with the elections, which is condemned even by the conservative parties, Is generally ascrlbed to M. Durnovo, with out whose authority the police would hardly have dared to take such action in the capital The event revivifies the rumor of M. Durnovo's S. approaching re- | tirement, which trusted subordinate of Premier Witte to-day said was cer- tain to occur so soon as the national assembly meets, and which might be expected sooner
 The plans of the social revolutlonists to interfere with the elections in St. Petersburg have been broken up by the arrest of another large batch of twenty six agitators, among them being twelve Jews and two Germans.
 The police have also arrested the man who threw the bomb which broke UT the loyalist meeting on the Schluessel- burg embankment February g, He is accused of a number of political mur- | ders.
 The weekly official report of political crimes throughout the empire shows that assassination, bomb throwing and robbery are still in full swing, especial Fly in Poland, at Odessa and in the Cau- easus. The most atrocious case was at Brest, government of Grodno, where revolutionists locked four policemen in a house, poured petroleum on the build ing and set it on fire.

FIRE HORSES RUN AWAK.
BicycIist Turns Right in Front of Them
 Probably Fatally Injured.

Hartford, Feb 2S.-While on the way to a small fire late this afternoon, the horses attached to a hose cart from Engine house, No. ', ran away, in their flight knocking down and probably fat ally injuring David Calhoun, who was riding a bicycle. Calhoun's skull was fractured, his head cut and he was otherwise bruised about the body. He was taken to the Hartford hospital, where it is expected he will die. He is forty-four years old, married and has one child. It is said that Calhoun was turning out to avoid running down any one in the crowd which was on its way to the fire, and wheeled right in the path of the horses, which he did not know were in flight. No blame, 1t Is said attaches to the driver, as it claim ed the horses have run away before. The fire was out when the apparatus reached the spot.

 the Death of One Participant.

DOMINICAN TREATY IS

 nitted-ArticIe Seven Which Has

 Washington, Feb. 2S.-The treaty be- tween the United States and the Do- minican republic, under which the for ller undertakes to collect and disburse the customs and revenues of the latter, was reported to the senate in executive session to-day by Senator Lodge, by authority of the committee on foreign relations. The committee reached its agreement to-day, all of the republicans voting for the favorable report and the democrats voting against it.
 A number of very important amend ments to the treaty were made by the committee. Article seven was entirely rewritten and, as reported, is material Ay OllOl ~ ICeIQo Cleol 10tAVWp'
 "The United States, while this treaty is being executed, may take such steps as 1t may deem proper to preserve order and facilitate the accomplishment of the purposes hereof"
 For more than a year this article has been the subject of disputes in the com mittee. Republicans and democrats fo h1It oY1x Hiffnr. ent grounds. The latter, by caucus &C., tion, having determined to oppose the treaty in it's entirety, left the republi- cans free to agree upon some amend ment satisfactory to the latter There fore, in rewriting the amendment the committee eliminated the authority giv- en to the Dominican republic to demand and receive assistance from this gov ernment. The article now provides that the United States may grant, upon its own initiative, such relief as it desires Further amendment of this article is contemplated and may be drafted by Senator Spooner.

It is said it will follow lines similar to an amendment proposed by Secretary Root. and will authorize the United States to land troops for the protection of Americans engaged in the s collection of customs. It is based or Nthe theory that provision of this char. acter would carry the authority to pro- tect the customs houses themselves without a specific agreement to tha effect.
 There were added to the treaty twt new sections which are intended to pro tect more definitely the United States in all monetary dealings with the cred itors of the Dominican republican.

FORAKER EASES HIS MIND.
Long Expected Speech Against Rate
 Bill Mnde.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-For three hours, lacking few minutes. MT. For aker held the attention of the senate to-daywhile he read carefully prepar- ed speech on the railroad rate question. His speech was a protest against any general legislation, on the theory that the existing Elkins law could be so ex- tended as to make it answer all the re- quirements. He did not fail, however, to point out what he considered the de- fleets of the Hepburn-Dolliver bill, and he made the declaration more than once that it would fail to remedy the evils complained of. The speech was listened to by a large attendance, both on the floor of the senate and in the galleries, and at it's close the senator was warmly congratulated by a num- Der of his colleagues.

Budapest Hungary, Feb. 2S-In re- sponse to long manifesto of the coali- tion urging the nation to steadfastly resist the absolutist regime and to an open letter from Count Andrassy to the electors deprecating revolution but ad- vising the people to refuse to pay taxes and to offer themselves as recruits, a government communication was pub lished to-day which at length detailed the emperor-k kings fruitless efforts at compromise and argues from the fact tkat the Hungarian people have re- mained quiet in spite of all the coali- tion's agitation that this tranquility be- tokens the political death sentence of the coalition. The document concludes with limiting that any attempt to adopt the coalitions refractory counsels may indefinitely postpone the elections.
