DEEDS OF A MOTHER
THREW HER CHILDREN INTO THE
 ATLANTIC.
Left Note Teliing or lfurAer of Her ORspr1ngp and saying That she Was About Co Follow
 Them.

Fall River. Mass.. Feb 20.-The of- ncers of the steamer Plymouth of the Fall River line, found part of a woman's apparel and note saying that she had thrown her three children overheard and was about to follow them herself, in state room just after the steamer left Newport on her trip from New York to this city today.
 The officers, on the arrival of the boat here, turned the case over to the police and, pending investigation, declined to give names contained in the note.
 Agent Rushri, of the Fall River line. in this city. says that a woman and three children who were on the Plymouth when it left New York were missing when the steamer arrived here.
 The woman who threw her three children overheard and committed suicide, is believed to have been Mrs. John Waters, of Brooklyn, N. Y, q daughter of Captain James Brady, col- lector of the port of Fall River. Mrs. Waters and her husband recently re- moved to Brooklyn from Chicago. She was said to be suffering from mental trouble for some time past.
 Among the letters left by the woman was one addressed to Jehn w. Waters, ITO Broadway, New York.
 The stateroom occupied by the wo- man was engaged in New York under the name of B. T. Allen. She is de- scribed as being about thirty-five years of age and was well dressed. The three children included a girl about eight years of age and two small children believed to be boys. one a nursing infant.
 The letters found apparently were intended for the woman's husband, one asking forgiveness and saying that she had worried so much that she feared insanity and could not leave the children, the other was in the na- ture of a will One of the missives was written on part of an envelope. the other on a piece of wrapping pa per The note on the envelope read:
 Dear Husband. Forgive this trou- ble. I have nearly broken my heart Dear John, forgive me for causing you this sorrow, but I could not live and I could not leave our children. have worried so much I fear insanity and could not leave the children"
 The letter which disposed of the woman's personal property. contained the name of John W. Waters, l7O Broadway, N Y. Various trinkets and articles of wearing apparel were dis posed of in the hurriedly written VIII.
 Persons occupying staterooms near bv heard one of the children crying about midnight. From that time until about 3:30 a. m. when the fact was dIsnovered that the staterom was un- occupied, no other disturbance was heard.

Franz Josef Will Disci-
 pline the Huns.
GENDARNEs WILL BE USED
Plans to Prevent Meetings in Coun-
 try Districts.
Crown Determined That Nothing shau He Done which In It's Opinion Is Treasonabre--Dissoiution
 Of ParIiament.

Budapest, Feb. 20.--The scene of the conflict between the coalition party and the crown will now be transferred from Budapest to the country districts where disorders can be expected with- In d week.
 The coalition deputies plan to pro- ceed to their various election districts at the end of this week. assemble their constituents and protest against yes- terday's alleged illegal dissolution of parliament.
 These meetings will be prevented and broken up by the government. with the assistance of gendarnes, on the ground that the crown cannot ana will not tolerate such criticism of m act on its part which it considers le- gal and constitutional.
 It is interesting to note in this con- nection that the Supreme Court of Hun- gary this morning handed down de- cision In two cases dealing with cOn- tested elections of deputits to the ef- feet that yesterdays dissolution of Par- liament was lawful. Furthermore the government is determined to dissolve by force if necessary all existing so- ciaiistic clubs as soon as such clubs ment considers reasonable.
 It appears today as though the crown had determined to terminate the right of free meetings. free press and even free speech in Hungary whenever such manifestations reflect on the legality of the crowns actions
 As proof of this 1t was ascertained today from an excellent government source that the crown is prepared to suppress newspapers which conduct q based on criticism of it's action yesterday.
 The coalition party is not Ignorant of the crowns intentions. and It's mem bers are discussing the neceSsity of holding secret meetings. The party rather expects it's newspapers to bs suppressed.
 The question of calling new gem eraI election has not yet been deter mined on and will not be decided until the crown ascertains what occurs iu the country districts.
 The problem now confrontIng tho coalition party seems to be whethaP or not it can persuade the people Of Hungary to sacrifice themselves to greater or less degree for what the coalition declares the honor of the at large. The liberal party declares the dissolution of parliament unlawful The liberals will not at tempt to proceed to the House tomor- row with the intention of holding a meeting.

NAME IS HELD UP
OBJECTION MADE TO THE CON-
 FIRMATI0N OF STEELE.
Believed, However, That The Fight Of The Friends Of ssestmaster Cloud Of Tuscumbim VIII Be With
 out Effect.
nv Alfred U. stofer.

Washington, Feb. 20.-- -(Special.)-- The case of A. Nj. Steele. nominated yesterday to be postmaster at Tuscuni- bta, Ala, was held up today by the Senate postoffice committee. Whether his opponents will be able to defeat his confirmation remains to be seen.
 Robert Cloud has held the office for two terms. It is claimed by his friends that he. had the indorselnent of nine tenths of the patrons of the office for reappointment. The Postmaster Gen. eral they also say laid down a rule that where man had held the post mastership for two terms and no charges were preferred against him, he would be reappointed. They assert that no charges were lodged against Cloud, but 1t seems that he was not acceptable to the federal patronage ref erees for Alabama.
 Clouds friends are disappointed and the Senate committee has agreed to irl- vestigate the matter, But unless the PFesident should withdraw the nomlna- tion the prevailing impression Is that Steele win be confirmed.
 A number of the members of the House Rivers and Harbors' Committee will soon go on tour of inspection in the South. Representative Burnett is anxious that they visit his district, but the itinerary having been made up the congressman cannot do so unless they change the route on the return trip and visit Gadsden and points in that portion of Alabama.
 Representative Taylor has introduced a bill appropriating s6o.0e0 for gov ernment building at Demopolls. not more than slo.0O0 of which shall be expended for the site.
 Although some of the members of the House committee are vigorously opposed to the project, the supporters of the bill to further aid the James town exposition to be held next year in Virginia feel encouraged to believe that they will secure a favorable re- port. About thirty States will have buildings on the exposition grounds. Assurances have been given that the of several more of the States will within the next few months make appropriations.

CABINET IS CRUMBLING.

 of Off1eiaI Advisors.

I.
 St. Petersburg. Feb. 20.--The day has passed without further announcements of resignatiops from the cabinet, The ministerial situation is unchanged, though all circles fin the capital are awaiting with keen attention new de- veiopments winch are expected day by day. pondering the meaning and im- portance of the shakeup. The pub lie has been prepared for the fall of either M. Wttte or Minister of the In- terior Durnovo, but the retirement of M. Kutler and M. Timirfaseff from the ministry and the expected withdrawal of M. Nemamhaieff from the ministry of communications finds the political wiseacres all at sea.
 Strong efforts. 1t Is said, are being made in high circles to Induce M. Timiriaseff to withdraw his reslgna- tion and thus save further disintegra- ton of the cabinet and enable 1t to weather the interval until the conva- cation of the national assembly,.
 Emperor Nicholas is said to be anx- ious to reatin Count Solsky at the head of the council of the empire but there is slight probability of his be- ing able to do so.
 M. Timiraiseff informed the Associa- ted Press this evening that he has not yet received word of the acceptance of his resignation

WOMAN KEPT
 AS PRISONER Fearful Experience Un- dergone by Mrs. Bray. IDENTIFIES HER ASSAMANT The Negro Tries to Escape and is
 Shot to Death. Wife of Andalusia csrpenter Awakened at Midnight by Black and Threat enea with Revolver to Pres
 vent Giving Alarm.

Andalusia, Feb. 2o.--(Speciai 1.-The home of J. T. Bray. a carpenter and good citizen of Andalusia. was entered last night by a negro in the absence of the husband and father. Mrs. Bray, who was asleep in room with her little children, was awakened. and at the point of pistol was compelled to accompany the negro to another room of the dwelling, where she was kept in terror until o'clock this morning. At that hour, the negro departed, and Mrs. Bray at once gave the alarm.
 officers and citizens formed them selves into posses. and the surrounding country was secured for suspects. About o'clock. Sheriff J. T. Bradshaw and party arrested two negroes, and hurried toward Andalusia jail with them, as the sheriff was apprehensive that an attempt at mob violence would be made. In the meantime, a crowd of citizens had captured negro preached named Pedigree, and imme- diately carried him before Mrs Bray. who identified him positively as her assailant.
 Negro Shot to Death.
 The crowd started toward the city with the prisoner. with the intention of placing him in jail. but had pro- ceeded only a short distance. when Pedigree broke away from his captors and attempted to escape. As he paid no attention to calls for him to stop. members of the posse fired upon him and he was picked up dead.
 Today Mrs. Bray Is in critical con- dition. She says that the negro en- tered her homo last night about mid night. and. threatening her with re votver. prevented her from awakening the children or giving an alarm. In this state of fright. Pedigree kept her a prisoner until | o'clock. when he left the house She at once summoned neighbors and told of her experience.
 Mir Bray is well-known here, and had built him a comfortable home in the southern suburbs of Andalusia. He is a carpenter, and for several days has been at work on d house at Dosier, making 1t necessary that he be away from home at night
 The Identification of Pedigree was most positive. and. as, according to Mrs. Bray. only one negro was impli- cated, it is probable that the other sus- poets now under arrest win be re- leased

 Richmond, Va, Feb. 20<--A cable message has been received by the Sec retary of the Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention here from Dr. R. J. Bryan. Missionary of that board In Shanghai, China, which says:
 ''No apparent danger
 The Secretary of the board has also received a letter from the department in Washington which the Secretary says nothing is known which would justify the immediate and general withdrawal of missionaries from the in- tertor.
 It also adds:
 This government Is disposed to afford every protection in it's power to its citizens in China"
 The letters which come from the mis- sionaries. show that there Is a state of unrest but they do not seem to bs alarmed about conditions. One per- son in writing from Yangchow says:
 ''rhe great anti-foreign feeling will probably show itself for a while though we have not felt much of it in Yang chow"
 Another fin writing from Canton says.
 Things are in a somewhat disturbed state politically. and robbery is very common, but we have been kept In peace"

 The amount of money loaned to Creelman by the Jackson Trust and Savings Bank is said by it's officers to be $25,000, but reports circulated, which alarmed depositors, put the amount at several times s25.000. W. H. Eagan, President of the Jackson Trust and Savings Bank, said today: we have loaned on collateral security $25.000 to F. c. Creelman. and we believe the loan is good. Even If it is not, we cam not be injured by any run. We have ample funds and we can obtain all the outside assistance we wish, but 1t Is mot necessary for us to ask it.
 The bank yesterday, in an effort to cover possible losses through the Creel- man loan, took over the business of the Illinois Hardwood Lumber company. corporation In which Creelman is in- terested, and attempted to sell some of the assets at sacrifice. It was en- joined from proceeding in this work by the federal court

It's capital stock IS $S5O,0O0, and a surplus fund of s5O,- 900 was reported with undivided profits of Ss2,000.

Knickbocker was also appointed re- eeiver of the Aronson Lumber Company corporation in whicht Mir Creelman is heavily interested. The bonds in this case were fixed at $1O.O0O.
 Despite the statement by the bank officers the payments to savings depos- itors would be made until o'clock in the afternoon. notice was posted much before that time. saying that no more withdrawals would be permitted until after the notice of sixty days, which the bank has right to demand. has expired.
 Cashier Lawtoh said that the notice was posted not because the depositors could not be paid, but because deposit tors were stampeded and would only draw out their money to put it in an- other bank. Commercial accounts were paid out as rapidly as requested. By afternoon 1t was estimated by the officers of the bank that $15O,OOO of commercial and savings accounts had been withdrawn.
