Man Charged With the Murder of
 George H. GoOdale.

Goodale on Friday, July $, arrived here tonight at S:22 over the Berlin branch of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad in the cus- tody of Officers Thompson and Ring wood of the local police force. Officer Thompson left Niagara. N. r., at 6:2O this morning with Bailey, and was met at Albany, N. Y, by Officer Rtngwood, who relieved Thompson of his charge for the remainder of the journey. A dense throng had gathered at the rail- road station here to witness the arrival [ of the prisoner, and the officers had to fairly fight their way through the cu- rious crowd to get to a carriage. The same scene was enacted when the pris- oner arrived at the police headquar- ters, Bailey refused to make any statement tonight and was locked up.
 Officer Thompson said that on the journey to this city Bailey refused to make any statement, and talked about everything but the crime. He did not inquire the reason for his arrest and seemed to be in good spirits, showing no sign of nervousneess.
 Bailey will be taken before Coroner Davies tomorrow morning and given an opportunity to make statement If he should so desire. The preliminary hearing in the case will be held next Monday morning in the city court.

 Siberian Road Discussed by Cabinet.
 St. Petersburg July 18.-An attempt was made to-day to assassinate Count Todleben, aide-de-camp to Emperor Nicholas, at the engineers camp at Tiora, between St. Petersburg and Schlusselberg. The would-be assassin fired at Count Todleben with a revolver, the bullet grazing his head. He then made his escape in @ boat which was awaiting him in the Neva. It is be- lieved the act was one of vengeance for the arrest, by order of Count Todleben, of an agitator who had effected an en- trance to the camp.
 The cabinet at it's session to-day dis cussed the proposed double-tracking of the trans-Siberian railway and decided to present to parliament project for the gradual completion of a second line the entire distance to the fronter or Manchuria, except the Circum- -Baikal section, where ferries will be provided equivalent to the additional track. The double tracking will enable thirty-four trains to pass daily in eacn direction.
 Finance Minister Kokovsoff announc- ed that he was already working on the budget of 1907 on account of the delay to be expected in parliament. He stat ed that there would be no increase in any credits for 1906 unless in case of extraordinary necessity.
 Members of the lower house of par liament are visiting the disturbed prov inces and trying with all their power to persuade the peasants to wait until parliament acts on the agrarian ques- tion before resorting to violence.

WHISKEY FIRST DIFFERENCE.
Question of FusiI oil and Manufacture
 of Fourth CIass Stuff.

Hartford, July 1S-Whiskey caused the first difference of opinion to-day between the scientists and members of the national food commission in con vention here. It was the topic of Pro- lessor James H. Shepard Ut the after noon session. A statement in answer to a question that fusil oil was a poison, regardless of quantity or quality caused an exhaustive discussion. in which George L. Flanders, first assistant commissioner of agriculture in New York state took part, He maintained that scientific men with whom he had advised stated that the quantity and quality element would have to be con- sidered in deciding whether the ingred- tents formed poison.
 Among other things in his talk on whiskey, Professor Shepard said that the United States should be ashamed of itself in permitting the nanufac- turing of fourth class or artificial whisky, and that if it is to be made 1t ought to be labeled. He gave as in gradients for such brand Of whiskey alcohol and water, and anything a manufacturer wanted to put into it. Such a brand, he declared, ought to be carefully watched. Third class whis- key, which he said was composed of water and alcohol. ought to be known as stretched whiskey.' He said the people do not know what it contains, and that there was no settled idea as to what comprised the liquid, Besides real whiskey, he said, there is alcohol and water, salts. oil, acids and other substances. He maintained that the whiskey should be labeled, and should tell the whole truth about its con- tents,
 It was the opinion of the others who took part in the discussion that it would be difficult for the food commits sioners to control adulteration of whis- key so long as the government issued rectifiers licenses. It was the opinion of some that such licenses should be stopped. The evening session was talk en up with the reading of several pa pers on food.

THAW AND HIS MOTHER
 DISAGREE ON DEFENSE
FAIL TO REACH SETTLEMENT ON THE EMPLOYMENT OF
 COUNSEL.

Attorney Hartridge Becomes More Prominent in the CaSe-MotiOn Failed
 to Show Cause Why Judge Olcott's
 Firm Should Not Turn Over to Him
 All Papers i'm the Case--The Move a
 Surprise--Distinct Contradiction of
 Reports.
 New York, July 1S.-The chaotic con- ditions surrounding the preparations of a defense for Harry K. Thaw, accused of the murder of Stanford White, was aocentuated to-day and apparently the breach between the prisoner and his mother, Mrs. William Thaw of Pitts burg, as to the character of the de- fense is wider than ever
 Following quickly upon a conference of two hours with them in the Tombs, after the mother had twice in the course of the day endeavored to gain the boys consent to the employment of the law firm of Black, Olcott, Cru Der and Bonygne, and to consent to a plea of insanity, Clifford w, Hartridge, Thaw's personal counsel, obtained from Justice Blanchard, in special term of the supreme court late to-day an order directing Judge Olcott's firm to show cause next Friday why they should not turn over to Hartridge all the papers in young Thaw's case, Mir. Hartridge based his motion on a petition signed by Thaw which was placed on record in connection with the proceedings.
 This move was a distinct surprise. be- ing a contradiction of reports which had gained wide circulation earlier in the day to the effect that Thaw had consented to his mothers plan of ac- tion. The rumor that the young man had at last bowed to his mothers will undoubtedly had its origin in the fact that Mrs William Thaw and Mrs. liar ry Thaw with her in conference with Thaw at the same time to-day, emerg- ed from the prison arm in arm. It was the first time they had been seen to- gether. Thaw's wife all along support ed him In his demand for a trial on the lSSuco VI UIiS Gdoe dIlu HeiS Supppb6Q the insanity plea. She has thus been arrayed against the elder Mrs. Thaw, who seems to feel that the only hope of saving her son from death fin the electric chair Is to depend upon a de- fence of insanity This plea would avoid the further publicity and lgnominy of a trial and has been insistently urged upon the prisoner, who, however, ap- parently remains ohdurate. Mrs. Thaw had long conferences with her son to- day.

PANAMA BOND MATTER.
Secretary of Treasury Issues Statement
 Instructions to Bidders.

instructions to Bidders.
 Washington, July 1S.-Secretary Shaw to-day issued the following state ment:
 So many requests have been made to me personally, by mail, and by wire, for information concerning the time when payment must be made for Pana- ma bonds purchased at the forthcom- ing sale, that the following statement seems appropriate:
 "The circular advertisement contains the statement that the bidders will be instructed as to the time on which payment is desired to be made. The bonds must, of course, be paid for on demand, and bidders may, if they de- sire, pay immediately. If the bonds are not paid for immediately the bid ders will be required to pay accrued in- terest. Should any purchaser desire to use any portion of the purchased bonds as Q basis for circulation, payment may be deferred, at least on a portion thereof, until the notes can be printed. In such cases the order for the cur rency must be placed at once, and the premium advanced on the bonds. The accrued interest can be paid when the bonds are placed with the treasurer as security for circulation. The ex- tent to which this privilege can be wisely granted will depend upon the amount of bonds that may be desired as basis for circulation"

London, July 19.-The editorial ar ticles in the newspapers this morning deal sympathettcally with the death of Lady Curzon of Kedleston. They dwell on her intellectual force, beauty, grace and tact, and the brilliant success she achieved in India where, as vicereine. she worked with heart and head for the welfare of the people" They also emphasize her benevoent solicitude for the humber classes and attribute much of Lord Curzon's success in In dia to her. The articles point out that Lord Curzon has the sorrow and sym pathy of three great countries in his bereavement.
 A brief announcement of Lady Cur zon's death is followed by extended ap- preciative sketches of her career.
 Washington, July 1S.-The marriage in this city, April 22, 1895, of Mary Letter to Lord Curzon was one of the great social events of Washington.

Her debut at series of large receptions given by her parents in the early nine- ties at their home here on Dupont circle Twas followed by triumphal season abroad, from which she returned the betrothed wife of George Nathaniel Curzon, M, P, and then under-secretary for foreign affairs,
