Iiold-up Man Robbed.

Chicago, Feb. TO-" Double crossed"
by his partner, Charles Willard, the
stick up" man who entered Rector
exclusive restaurant last Sunday morn
ing and, at the point Of rcvolycrs,
gathered in s., 200, was himself stuck
up" and 'friskcd" one minute later
and robbed OF every cent Of the loot.
This unique turn taken in The daring
robbery case has resulted in the arrest
OF William Lotus, saloon keeper, who
furnished the reyolvers which Willard
used. Willard, Roy Saislinc, and
Harry Anderson have confessed that
they engineered the 'hold-up" but the
police could find none OF the money.
Willard swore that the instant he left
the restaurant, after robbing it, he was
seized BY three men who hustled him
across the street into All alley way and
took all the loot from him. This
story is bornc out by = passing police
man, who thought three plain clothes
men were making an arrest.
Tho police charge that Lotus hired
three professional stick up" men TO
wait for Willard and rob him as soon
as lie had robbed the restaurant.

TIKI steamship subsidy bill which got
through the Senate by. means Of the
vice president who is not senator,
and Mr.. Ioriner. OF Illinois, whose
right to be i. senator is now on trial. Is 4
very modest measure compared with
what the subsldists were trying TO get Z
dozen wears ago. Then into congress,
after congress, always with e1e an
noupcemcnt that this tinnc'the Job was
certain to 90 through, there was intro
duced by AIr. Frye. or .Alr. liaillnscr a
proposal to subsidize all the:sl,ipplng o.
tho United States. Having been de-
feated repeatedly on that, the subsidIsts,
abandoned this comprehensive job and
nut forward the more modest one OF
very liberal mail compensation to
steamers on considerable list and
variety OF routes. Still finding that
their pratical craft with fclonions de-
signs upon the United States treasury,
was Iaboring i'll heavy seal /, was
lightcncd by throwing some OF these
routes overheard Concerning this meas
ure the Philadelphia Record says:
As the bill passed the Senate it pro-
poses to pay 81 per outward mllc-'the
sum paid under the law OF twenty years
ago to: the American steamers OF the

briefest and most CONSPICUOUS OF which
is that without subsidized steamers our
export trade 10 all South America has
increased two and a half times, and to
Argentina almost four times, i'll y de-
cadc. The bill requires steamers TO
show capacity Of making certain
rates OF speed. but does not require
such speed to be maintained. 1t leaves
the owners perfectly free to exact extor-
tomato prices for their vessels in the
event OF war. 1t is all the Subsidlsts

Senate Conference.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Dcmocratic
senators held conference today TO
2omnare views on the reciprocity ques-
ton. There was little comparison,
however, the senators yielding to a
suggestion that it would he wise TO
withhold suggestions until the bill comes
10 the Senate from the House. Election
OF senators and the the tariff board
propositions were touched upon, but
there was nothing to indicate the gen
eral sentiment OF the democrats on
either question. With pride in growth
they agreed that the room now set
aside for the minority will fall far
short OF the democratic requirements
in the next Congress. They will have
nearly half the membership in the next
Senate and the democratic members OF
the committee on rules were e1horted
to arrange for suitable headquarters.
Another conference will be Eheld next
week.

Allnusu's Alleged Dcrclictions.

London, Feb. 10.-GGycrnment
agents who have been trying TO run
down the reported dcrelictions oil
King Alfonso Of Spain during his
secret visits TO Paris received mail al
vices today that Alfonso's alias while
in Paris was Monsieur Lamy.
On these trips to the pleasure resorts
OF the French capital, which arc per-
sistently reported 10 have estranged
Queen Victoria from the king, Alfonso
vas always accompanied by Il young
Spanish nobleman, OF unknown idcnt-
ity, and by two specially chosen detec-
tivcS.
The mere fact that Alfonso guarded
his movements while il Paris with
such care, is considered proof that he
was INDUCING in little filings at high
life, the nature Of Which it would never
have done for the police TO know.
Simultaneously with the receipt OF
this information, came an official
denial by the Spanish court that there
are material differences between Al
fonso and Victoria. The reports
published in different Europeans pa
pcrS," the denial says, respecting
differences between the king and queen
OF Spain and regarding the queen 5
proposal for 4 separation are absolute
" false and calumlnous. The king
and queen are aware that political
cucmics have invented these reports. =
The isuing Of this dcnia was great
surprise to English court circles, and
it is feared its effect will be exactly
opposite from what was intended by its
sponsors. The worst feature OF the
denial is that it was 50 long in coming.
II has been month since the United
Press first told the story Of the reported
differences between Alfonso and Vic
toria. and it has taken all-this time,
according to the best information OBJ
tainabIc here, Tor the English and
Spanish advisors OF the king and queen
to catch up matters so that a denial
could be issued with safety.
Now that the denial has been issued,
it is assumed that the queen has for
given Alfonso on condition that he
forcgo his pleasure-seeking iaunts TO
Paris and ALLURE music hall fayorites in
tho future.
