3iils to Place Volunteer Officers and
Men on Retired List. K. IS
Washington, March 8. 3.-Estimates of
The probable cost of the pending bills
to place volunteer officers and pri-
Yates of the Civil war on retired list
with pay were sent to the house COM
mittee on military affairs. The war
department estimate is that the bill
Tor officers alone would cost $11,000,-
900 annually and that for officers and
men together would cost $82,000,000
annually. The estimate by the pen.
sion bureau is that, the cost for both
officers and men would be about $685.
100000 annually. The volunteer bill
proposes to place all officers of the
Civil war on half pay, according to
the grades they held at the time they
were mustered out of the service, and
for privates fiat rate of $50 month
to all soldiers who served eighteen
months or more.
These figures are startling to the
committee and are certain to create
CONSERVATION among the Republican
leaders of the house, who are trying
to hold down expenses. The claim is
made among the members of the mill
tary committee that if both houses
shall agree to the pending PROPOSE
tion for paying increased pensions to
widows of the Civil war, at net cost
of more than S15,000,000 year, the
military committee will be justified in
reporting and voting for the proposed
increases for officers and men.

the two cars containing the powder
were blown high into the air and the
whole train was instantly wrecked.
Whole cars were blown fifty feet from
the track and debris was scattered
over twenty acres of ground. The
two men who were injured were rid

REPUBLICAN CHOSEN.
Former Governor Bradley Senator
From Kentucky.

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 28.-Former
Governor William O. Bradley has been
declared elected to the United States
senate after an exciting joint sitting
of the general assembly, receiving
four Democratic votes in addition to
the votes of all Republicans present.
1t had been held from the beginning
of the contest over six weeks ago that
a majority of quorum was sufficient
for an election and with 1875 members
present it required sixty-four votes
to elect. The votes of four Democrats
who have steadily refused to vote for
former Governor Beckham were trans
ferred from the various Democrats on
whom they had sought to make their
party associates unite to the Repub-
lican caucus nominee and his election
promptly followed

being made to change the shifts. The
disaster took place in what was known

ANARCHIST IS FOIL Ed.
Russian Jew Tries to Kill Chi.
cago Chief Of Police.
AssAILANT SHOT TO DEATH
Slain by the Police Official After He
Had Wounded the Formers
! Son and Coachman.

Chicago, March 3.-Chief of Police
his driver, James Foley, were wound
ed by an anarchist who attempted to
assassinate the police official in the
hall Of the latter's residence, 81 Lin
coin Court. The desperate struggle,
in which Mrs. Shippy and her daugh-
ter Georgietto joined, was terminated
when the chief drew his own revolver
and killed his assailant.
One bullet entered the mans breast
near the heart and another passed
through his head. The revolver
dropped from his fingers and he died
without a groan. Throughout the
struggle the anarchist had not uttered
a word, except to say in good English,
Its all right" as the chief seized
him, evidently referring to the en-
velope which he had offered the po-
lice official.
The attack is believed to have been
the result OF widespread conspiracy
to harm officials who have been active
In suppressing manifestations of an
archy in this community. Other city
officials are said to have been threat
ened and police spy who recognized
the corpse of the man who invaded
Shippy's home as that of a person who
regularly attended anarchist meetings,
asserted that the man was chosen by
lot to do away with not only the chief
of police, but Mayor Busse as well.
The ramifications Of the plot are said
to extend to other cities and to be
closely connected with the killing of
the Rev. Leo Heinrichs, a Roman
Catholic priest who was shot down at
the altar Of his church in Denver.
Harry shippy Severely Wounded.
Harry shippy is the most severely
hurt of those injured in the affray.
Although the bullet from the assas-
sims revolver passed completely
through his body, just above the heart,
It was said that his chances for
recovery were favorable. His
father was stabbed in the arm,
while Foley received bullet in the
wrist. Mrs. Shippy was kicked by the
desperate but her hurts are slight.
Following the attack, squads of po-
lice were sent into the Italian and
Ghetto districts of the city. Places
known as headquarters of secret So
c1eties suspected of anarchistic ten
dencies were raided and a score or
more of arrests were made. A coro-
ner's inquest over the body of the
anarchist was also started and States
Attorney Healy announced that the
March grand jury of Cook county,
which was convened Monday, will be
given an opportunity to Investigate
anarchistic organizations in an at
tempt to fasten responsibility for the
attack upon its instigators. 1t was
also reported that Mayor Busse in
tends to issue an order forbidding all
street meetings, the allegation being
made that such gatherings, whether
of a political of religious nature, are
often made the occasion for vicious at
tacks upon the social order.
The dead man was identified as
man named Lazerus Averbuch, Rus
sian Jew, twenty-five years of age,
who came to this country three
months ago.

BATTLESHIP FLEET
AT RIO JANEIRO
Admiral Evans Squadron Gets Royal
Welcome at Brazilian Port
A THIRD OF VOYAGE COVERED

Rio Janeiro, Jan. 13.-The American
fleet of sixteen battleships entered the
port of Rio Janeiro, after a passage
from Port of Spain, Trinidad, more than
5000 miles, unmarried by serious ac-
cident, replete with interesting Incl
dents and ending with a royal welcome
from the thousands that had gathered
to greet the visitors.
All of the battleships are here, but
the supply ships Culgoa and Glacier
are still at sea, not having been able
to keep along with the others. The
fleet has now covered about 46OO miles,
about a third the distance of the voy-
age to San Francisco.
Early in the morning the crowds
began to gather in the streets of Rio
JaneirO, and long before the signal
flags were hoisted announcing the ap-
proach of the American ships of war
thousands of curious spectators had
taken up the points of vantage on pub
lie buildings and the elevated quays.

framed the bay, beautiful in the trOpi-
al sun, it was a spectacle incompar-

Word that the feet had passed Cape
FriO. about forty-five miles out, was
received at $3.50 o'clock, and immedi-
ately scores of tugs and other small
craft crowded with spectators, set out
to meet the visitors, and accompanied
them to the anchorage. Outlined
against the horizon the great battle
ships, stretched out in one long line,
came slowly through the passage into
the bay. The Connecticut, Rear Ad-
miral Evans flagship. was in the lead
with the Brazilian cruisers, dressed in
gala attire, on either side. Passing
the fOrtresses, the Connecticut fired a
salute of twenty-one guns, which was
responded to by the Brazilian war
ships, the German cruiser Bremen and
the shore guns. The yards and fight
ing tops were manned and cheers
upon cheers were given for the splen-
did passage of the flagship and her
sister ships.

Hearing of Accused Husband Post.
poned at Request of State.
Harrison, n. j., Jan. 10-The police
examinations of Theodore S. Whit
more, who is held in connection with
the murder of his wife, were cut short
by order of the court.
WhitmOre had been arraigned when
the state, pleading that important wit
nesses were out of the state and that
opportunity had not been found for the
proper sitting of a mass of presumed
evidence, asked for an adjournment
until Saturday morning. The move
was opposed by counsel for the prisoner
who declared that his client was being
subjected to daily sweating" by the
police in the hope that a confession
might be wrung from him, while as a
matter of fact, the prosecutor did not
have a shred of evidence against him.
Counsel demanded an immediate hear
ing or liberty for the prisoner. The
court decided to permit the delay. but
instructed the police and others to
leave WhitmOre alone. Frank Englert
and William Bartlett. who are held as
witnesses, were refused their freedom.
