Under the constabulary system the

Mindoro, Masbate and Romblon; third,
the islands of Panay, Samar, Leyte,

Heavy Fine.

One of the heaviest fines that has been imposed for several months was given Ben Goldsmith in the police court this morning by Mayor Scott, who gave the offender a fine of $10O and one hundred and eighty days of hard labor on the streets. Goldsmith who is a negro, was arrested for disorderlY conduct.
 Joe Peters, negro, while on trial in the court of Justice of the Peace James Brodie this morning, made sudden break for liberty, and but for the inter ference of a citizen he would have made the attempt good. However. he was halted about a block from the court and escorted back before the judge to answer the charge of embezzlement which was docketed against him.
 Frog Foster, a well known negro or Ensley, was arrested by Officers Bos- well and Cochrane of the local force at 19 o'clock tonight and lodged in the city jail on the charge of having murdered Marshall Cunningham in this city on last Saturday night. It is understood that Foster has confessed his guilt to Chief Sugg

Marshall Cunningham was mur- dered Saturday night and on Sunday morning his body was fonnd. He was stabbed through the heart. Two negroes have been arrested at Talladega on sus- pioion in connection with the crime but the confession of Foster exonerates them so 1t is believed here.

SCHULTZ TOLD SAME STORY.
Denies That He Has Been Bribed to
 Plead Guilty.

Chicago, December 6,-Only two wit nesses were on the stand today in the Shea trial The first was Joseph Schultz, who testified yesterday and was called today for cross-eXamination The second was William Kelley, formerly an officer of the coal teamsters' union.
 For several hours the attorneys for the defense made a strenuous effort to im- peach the testimony given yesterday by Schultz but were unable to change his story in any essential point The attor neys endeavored to show that Schultz had entered a plea of guilty for a con sideration of some sort and drew from him the admission that he had received an oVercoat from an employe of a de- tective agency. whose operatives have been guarding him since the commence ment of the trial.
 Schultz, however denied that he had been induced to plead guilty and said that he expected to go to the pen. Kelly gave evidence regarding acts of violence committed during the strike. of which he had personal knowledge. He declared in corroboration of the testimony given by Albert Young that Shea had made the statement that with fifty Volleys to aid him he would put the non-union men out of business.

 GILLETTE GAINS TIME BEFORE HIS SENTENCE
Counsel Unable to Prepare Until Mon- day for Motion for New Trial.
 Said to Have Confessed.

Herkimer, N. T., December 6.-Chester F, Gillette was not sentenced today He was taken into court at the appointed hour, but his counsel had been unable to prepare in the brief time at their dis posal for a motion or a new trial, which they desire to enter before sentence IS passed,
 The stenographer's report of certain parts of the trial are esential in their preliminary work and the stenographer was unable to get out the required work in so short u time. On that account tho court entertained a motion that the pro- ceedings be postponed until Monday as 10 q. m
 There are and have been for some time all kinds of rumors that Gillette nas been overheard to make some kind of d confession that he killed Grace Brown. Some of these stories arc that jail offi- cials heard him confess to his lawyers: others are that he told a visitor who called on him that he had struck the girl, and that the visitor told the district attorney. Nobody connected with the case in any way will confirm any of these stories.

Car Broken Open.

A ear of merchandise standing on the Frisco sdetrack at Kansas City crossing was broken into about II o'clock last night and a large amount of valuable merchandise stolen.
 The theft is supposed to have been committed by gang of negroes. as one man, negro, who has been arrested in connection with the crime, when ques- tioned. intimated that three other negroes were mixed up in the affair The man caught was run down by the blood hounds owned by D. A. Echols of this city.
 The theft was reported to Chief of Police Archfield of Pratt City about il 80 o'clock. who upon investigating the af- fair. decided to run the robbers down with bloodhounds
 Mir. Echols was telephoned and he left immediately for the scene with his string of dogs.
 The hounds were turned loose about the car and after sniffing around on the ground for a few minutes, the leader sprang off down the railroad track with the balance of the pack at his heels. A quick run was made west until the Frisco pump house was reached. where Tor a few minutes the scent was lost
 However, little time was lost and after

KEEP UP FIGHT IN
 SPITE OF SENATORS
THE DIES MONIES CONVENTION IS WORKING HARD TO BRING ABOUT ELECTION OF SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE.

Des Moines, Ia, December 6-The or ganizaton of the United States senatorial amendment convention in session here, will be continued beyond the adjourn ment of the present meeting, and the con vention will favor the calling of d con- stitutional convention only because 1t be- leves it impossible to get the Senate to act with the House of Congress in pro- posing an amendment for direct election of senators by the people. These were the two features of the meeting today.
 The resolutions which were adopted in part were:
 While this convention would much prefer that Congress should submit to the several states proposed amendment to the constitution for the election of senators by direct vote of the people, so that the states might pass on it, as a sin gle question; yet inasmuch as the Sem ate consistently refuses to submit such amendment it. therefore, earnestly reeom- mends that legislatures of several states do, in pursuance of article ----, of the constitution of the United States, make application to the Congress to call a convention to propose amendments to the constitution of the United States.
 Resolved, That the president and the secretary of this convention be, and they are hereby instructed. to transmit duly certified copies of these resolutions to the chairmen of the national committee and of the several state committees of the leading political parties; also, to the gov ernors of the respective states; to each member of Congress and to the Presi- dent"

PUS IS FOUND IN
 LOUISVILLE MILK
FINES ASSESSED UPON DAIRYMEN BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN FEEDING SWELL TO CATTLE. GIVEN JAIL SENTENCE.

Louisville December 6.-Aaron Kohn, representing one hundred dairymen, against whom charges were brought un- der the pure food law of feeding swill to cattle, pleaded guilty for his clients in police court today and accepted a sus- pended sentence of $1OO fine and a jail sentence of fifty days against each defen- dant. The fine and jail sentence will be annulled only on condition that they clean up their dairies by April l and quit feed- ing swll to cattle. 5 Previous to the calling of the cases m court a conference of lawyers, physicians and health officers was held, at which startling revelations were made in re- gard to the milk supply of Louisville. It was shown that twenty-five pounds ot manure is consumed every day in Louis- vile in the milk that is drunk; that some of the milk contains pus; that a large number of dealers return milk cans which are being refilled without being washed and still contain tactic acid. odors and sour milk, and that many stables quar- tering cows are in filthy condition

Returns Show Flatterine Success.

A canvass of the receipts from the two performances of Damon and Pythias. given under the auspices of the Ensley lodge, Knights of Pythias, on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. shows very fat tering returns and indicates that one of the most successful amateur entertain ments ever offered in Ensley was pro- duced.
 The production as whole was 8 great success and it is most favorably spoken or by the citizens.
 The local lodge members are being con- graduated on the fine showing and the many favorable comments expressed at tests the appreciation exhibited in the affair.
 There is some talk of the play being put on in other cities probably in Bes- semer, Birmingham and Montgomery, However nothing definite as to this has been decided on by the management fur ther than that the matter is under con- sideration.
 Should the play be presented in the cities named it is freely predicted that it will meet with great success. Pythians from Bessemer and from Birmingham who were present at last nights per formanee. immediately after the conclu- sion of the last act sought the manage ment and made earnest requests that the pay be presented in their respective cities.

eireling around q short time the hounds sprang off into the darkness, this time north towards the coke ovens. through which they went yelping on to the negro tenement houses. near Blounts crossing.
 hurried circuit was made under and through three or four houses but just as the bloodhounds were making the most rapid progress the scent was lost again by the interference of a pack of cur dogs who had collected in the wake of the hounds, barking and snapping at them as they ran.
 The nature of the bloodhound brooks no interference, consequently a free for all fight ensued, which resulted in the trail being lost when but one of the robers had been run down. Mir. Echols' bloodhounds are gaining considerable no- toriety of late by the excellent work they have accomplished and it is quite a fad for them to be called out for a run after a flying fugitive.
 Chief Archfeld has four or five negroes of Pratt City under suspicion. and 1t is expected that the three remaining ones implicated in the crime will be appre- hended at an early date.

Funeral of Mexican General.

Mexico City. December 6.-One of the most imposing funerals that has taken place in Mexico for a number of years occurred today, when the re- mains of Gen.

President Diaz, accompanied by the members of his cabinet, and number of high officials of the Mexican army presented themselves at the chapel in the department of war of the national palace, where the body has lain for the past twenty-four hours. A few minutes later the coffin was removed to the funeral car. At the cemetery the re- mains were given full military honors.

BRITAI HANDS OFF
 IN TANGIER AFFAIRS
Warmly Approves of Demonstration of France and Spain In Accordance
 With Algecras Conference.

London, December 6-Great Britain has made known to France and Spain her warm approval of their joint naval and military demonstration at Tangier and the purpose of Great Britain to continde her attitude of hands off, while France and Spain are carrying out the spirit of the Algeciras conference. Owing to Great Britain having the largest coiony and the most extensive commerce in Morocco, it is possible British warships might co- operate with those of France and Spain, and in the event British subjects or prop erty be threatened, but Foreign Secre- tary Grey has distinctly made it known that since Great Britain had recognized Frances paramount position in Morocco, in return for Frances recognition of Great Britain's paramount position in Egypt, Great Britain will leave the pro- lection of British subjects and property in Morocco to France and Spain.
 This disposes of the reports from Gb- raltar that British warships are prepar- ing to join the Franco-Spansh squadron. Both the British and Frenche were pleased to hear that Germany had .ap- proved of the faint action of France and Spain, as previous to this it was re- alized that a condition of affairs might arise in Morocco, in which Germany would prefer to protect her own subjects and interests with her own ships, instead of entrusting the protection of German interests to France and Spain
 The exchange of views between Foreign Secretary Grey and the French and Spanish ambassadors have fairly well shown that if Franco-Spanish forces are landed in Morocco they probably will stay there until the Franco-Spanish police force is established in accordance with the terms of the Algeciras convention.

COST OF LIVING INCREASING.
Cost of Commodities Highest Since
 1884.

New York, December 6.-Figures giving the average cost of living as of December 1, compiled by R G.. Dun X Co.,. show that there has been marked advance in price as compared with November l. when it reached high water mark
 In the lapse of one month the cost of living has advanced from $1O6. 6s to sl0s 1T, reached on December l. The cost of com modities is the highest since February 1884.
 In discussing the subject, the trade authority says the rise in prices is fair ly representative of the greater demand that has followed increased prosperity throughout the nation and because of the advance in wages, which have lifted the purchasing power of the people above all previous records in this, or in any other nation.
