WOMKN FOIL A HI' KULAK,
Three Nuecesslve and I'liMUocesNfiil At-
tempts at Housebreaking In K usaa
City.
Kansas City, Mo., May 25.—Three
women in succession sat up in their
several beds just before dawn yester-
day morning, saw the same burglar
light a match, hold it over his head
and peer into the darkness. Each
woman gu/.ed in affright at the opera-
tion for, as each avers, "a full minute,"
ami the next instant screamed at the
top of her voice. From three several
houses the same burglar tied
in terror, empty-handed, and
over three successive failures did
he curse his ill fortune, his
clumsiness aud the wakefulness of
women. The boldness of this un-
known midnight thief und his ingenu-
ity iu eutering the houses proved hint
a master of his profession. The pecul-
iar thing about this particular night's
work was that he climbed into each
of the three houses by a dining
room window, opened the front
door to make a way clear for es-
cape, crept softly up the stair-
way and entered the first room be
came to, struck a match and found a
wide uwuke woman staring with
affright into his eyes. The houses en-
tered were those of T. A. McClelland
a), Eighth and Prospect; G. Bridge-
ford at 010 Prospect, and M. F. Blanch-
ard at K007 East Seventh street.

Pittsburgh, Pa., May i .—The 83d
anniversary of the American Baptist
Missionary union began in the Fourth

It has charge of all the foreign mis-
sion work. The report of the execu-
tive committee gave an account of the

received 8407,101.89. The expenditures
were as follows: Appropriations,
855.58; added to permanent funds ami
bond accounts, 815,140; debt, April 1, 'i 0,
8108,827.68; a total of $759,823.21, leav-
ing the debt April I, '97, 8292,721.32.

8parkd THE NEGRO.
Unusual Discrimination Kxeretsed by a Mob
Near Houston. Tea.
Houston, Tex., May 25.—R. W. Stew-
art, a prominent merchant of Lindalc,
was recently enticed frrtm his home by
a negro and murdered. Eflie Jones, a
negro, was arrested for the murder
and in a confession implicated Will
Jones, a white man, prominent in the
mmunity. Jones was arrested and
placed iu jail. Shortly after one
clock yesterday morning a mob
appeared at the county jail
Tyler and, on refusal of
the sheriff to admit them, broke in the
doors, went to Will Jones' cell and shot
him to death as he sat on his cot. He
told them they were killing an inno-
cent man, but the leaders answered
that they had proof of his guilt. They
refused to kill Etlie Jones, the negro
who killed Stewart, saying that as he
did not have the means and influence
to escape punishment they would let
the law take its course. Tyler is the
town where, a few years ago, a negro
criminal was burned at the stake, in
the public square, with elaborate cere-
mony.
Careless Traveling Man.
Ciiicaoo, May 25.— United States
legal tender notes amounting to 812,-
000, which had been left in a railroad
car by a forgetful passenger, were
carried from Chicago to Joliet, III., and
found there by James Pollard, a eat'
cleaner, who turned the money over to
the owner, II. E. Briggs, a commercial
traveler of this city, and the money
represented the savings of years.
Condition of Riinsas Wheat.
Topkka, Kan., May 25.- Reports re-
ceived here by wire from 20 of the
principal wheat-growing counties ol

aud the recent showers have greatly
helped the outlook.

London, May 25.—The birthday ol
Queen Victoria, who was born May 24,
1819, was observed to-day with the

ly escaped destruction. Loss, $10,000.
Frederick Stoll, formerly superin-
tendent of city deliveries in the Chica-
go post office, has been asked to take
charge of the free delivery postal sys-
tem soon to be established in Hong
Kong, China. The offer carries a sal-
ary of $0,000 a year for five years.
The United States supreme court
handed down a decision in the case ol
L. E. Parsons, late district attorney
for the Northern district of Alabama,
who claimed that he was entitled to
hold his office for four years notwith-
standing the president's order of re-
moval. The decision was that while
the appointment was for four years it
could be terminated earlier at the dis-
cretion of the president. The case was
of interest to office-holders.

Cripple Ckekk, Col., May 25.—Two
gangs of men are now digging on the
tunnel to be made under Pike's peak.
One crew began at the foot of the
mountain, near the old town of Colora-
do City. From there it will run about
due southwest, and the further end is
to be about six utiles from Cripple
Creek and near Sunol. The main tun-
nel will pass directly tinder the cone of
Pike's peak, at a depth of 7,000 feet, and
2,700 feet under Victor. Thirty miles
of laterals are to be built underneath
all of the Cripple Creek district, at an
average depth of 2,800 feet, and it is
designed to test the mineral deposits
from these depths. At present the
shortest road from Cripple Creek to
Colorado Springs is 5-1 miles, but with
the completion of the new tunm-1 the
distance will be but 10 miles. The two
gangs are now making a headway of
30 feet per day, and it is believed that
the work will be completed in seven
The estimated cost per foot of the ex-
cavation is $80. This would make the
cost of diggingthe tunnel and branches
reach §90,800,000.
Sued for Twice Her Stock.
Kansas City, Mo., May 25.—When
the Western Farm Mortgage Trust Co.,
of Lawrence, Kan., failed several years
ago there was a judgment against it in
favor of the Western national bank of
New York for $22,911.35. Under the
laws of Kansas that a stockholder is
liable for double the umount of his
stock, Cornelia E. Merritt, a share-
holder in the mortgage concern, was
sued in Judge Henry's court to-day.
This is the first of a number of like
suits that will be tiled.

Examining the Stock Viirils Hooks.
Kansas City, Mo., May 25.—The
Kansas attorneys who are conducting
the inquiry into the stock yards affairs
resumed work this afternoon. The
inquiry is in progress now in
the office of President Morse, at
the stock yards, where the attor-
neys are examining the books of
the stock yards company. The
idea is to ascertain just how much of
the improvements were paid out of the
earnings ami how much from capital
stock. The work is tedious and the at-
torneys are already weary of it.

Chicago, May 25. The Times-Herald
says: "Steps looking to the formation
of a powerful alliance in opposition to
the Bell Telephone Co. are to be taken
in Chicago this week. Here are the
main things contemplated: A na-
tional association of the 1,000 op-
erating telephone exchanges of the

Bell company for mutual protection
and development; long distance toll
line connections by the connection of
the various independent telephone ex-
changes of the country; the establish-
ment of an independent long distance
service connecting the great commer-
cial centers in a field now occupied ex-
clusively by the Bell company; the
completion in the near future of an op-
position telephone exchange in the
city of Chicago, for which purpose a
company composed of capitalists with
experience In large enterprises has al-
ready been organized; co-operation for

trustees of Coates' college for women,
founded by the late Jane Coates, of
Greencastle, made an assignment to-
day. The liabilities amount to 814,000,

The Theft of the Imperial or Victoria Dia-
mond a Complete Mystery.
London, May 25. Details of the
stealing of the Imperial or Victoria dia-
mond, valued at $1,500,000, from the
treasury at Hyderabad, India, show
that the robbery was so skillfully car-
ried out that that there is not the slight-
est clew as to when or how the gem
was stolen and a paste imitation sub-
stituted. Hyderabad has been put under
martial law, every house searched and
hundreds examined, but in vain. Con-
sequently no one knows what litis been
or may be the fate of the great stone,
but it is probable that ere this it has
been broken up.

Monday's Congress.
Washington, May 25.—Representa-
tive McMillln, of Tennessee, to-day in-
troduced in the house a resolution
providing for the consideration of the
senate resolution recognizing the bel-
ligerency of the Cuban insurgents
"from day to day until disposed of."
The resolution was referred to the
committee on rules, but it is not likely
that the committee will consider it.
The house adjourned at 12:25 p. in. on
account of the death of Senator Earle,
of South i'arolina.
The senate met and promptly ad-
journed to-day out of respect to the I KqJy
late Senator Earle. of South Carolina. ' )'

FKillT ON THE TARIFF B1IX.
Objections Will He Marie Against llie In-

Iteor IC11pld Telegraphy A De-
cision ou Hates.
Washington, May 25.—"It would
cost us $400,000,000 before we tired the
first gun," said a high official yester-
day in speaking of the possibilit ies of
war with Spain. This official is in a
position to speak knowingly of the
president's position, lie declared that
it was the intention to proceed slowly.
Those who have conversed with the
president about Cuba during the past
three days have been much impressed
with his desire to bring about, u jhmicc-
ful settlement. They agree that the
administration is most earnestly op-
posed to war aud to the expense of
getting re tidy for war. There is an
other serious feature of this Cuban
situation. The highest medical offi-
cers of the army ami navy view the
possibility of actual operations in Cuba
with apprehension. Some of them be-
lieve that if an American force were
landed there this summer one man in
three would die of yellow fever. Secre-
tary of War Alger ami Secretary of the
Navy Long are most pronounced among
members of the cabinet against ti
policy which will precipitate armed in-
tervention by this country. They are
doing what they can to offset the tre-
mendous popular pressure upon the
president to move quickly. Evidence
in support of claims for indemnity
against Spain is accumulating at the
state department When the Cleve-
land administration went out th>
ported losses of American citizens in
Cuba amounted to about $10,000,000. As
a result of a widespread Impression
that this administration is to apply a
more vigorous policy, claimants have
been active since March 4 in present-
ing details and affidavits. The aggre-
gate of losses of which the government
now has official knowledge is consider
ably over #25,000,000. This, however,
represents not more than one-half of
the amount which will be involved, it
is expected, when the attempt is made
to press the subject formally upon the
attention of Spain.
Tlii< Fight on the TarllT Hill.
Washington, May 25.—Republican
members of the senate finance commit-
tee say that it is extremely doubtful
that the tariff bill as amended will
yield the annual revenue of 800.000,000
upon which the committee figured In
arrunging the schedules. These mem-
bers are now firmly convinced that the
internal revenue features are abso-
lutely necessary, and that under no
circumstances can they be eliminated
from the bill. They may find it neces-
sary to make further recommenda-
tions along the internal revenue line
before the debate on the bill is over.
Another danger threatens the bill
The tobacco manufacturers will be
here in force to light the feature in
creasing the tax on tobacco two cents
a pound. All the tobacco boards of
trade have appointed delegates U
come to Washington to help defeat
this part of the bill. They object to the
tax because they say it came without
warning. They claim that all their
contracts were made last fall, aud the
imposition of stu additional two cents
to the tax on tobacco will work
serious injury to tliein. There also
a New England lobby against the duty
on hides, aud as the senators from that
section are opposed to this duty It is
difficult to see how the bill c
passed in its present shape. Tli
southwestern senators will make a big
tight on the beer schedule iu the senate
tariff bill. The bill as reported pri
poses tin increase of 51,^ cents a barrel
The St. Louis brewers arc deeply in
terested in this schedule, as it means
an increase to the brewing interests of
that city of over $1,000,000 a yen
The senators from the southwest a
confident they can beat this increaa
although it will be a very hard fight,
Experiments In Hnpid Telegraphy.
Washington, May25. A proposition
is before the senate in the shape of
bill introduced by Senator Pettlgre
to expend #1,000,000 iu experimenting
with anew system of rapid telegraphy
wires for the purpose to be coustr
cd between New York ami Washiug
ton. It is claimed that this syst
will supplant the telephone, telegraph
and mails as a method of communlt
tion between the great business cen
ters of the country, and will make pos-
sible the transmission of 3,000 words
ir.inute. The new method is called the
"synch ronograph."

He was the victim of unfor-

To ItrcMk the Duestrow Will.
St. Louis, May 25.— Ex-Gov. Charles
P. Johnson and Attorney Charles T.
Noland answered the state's applica-
tion for an injunction to restrain the
Union Trust Co. from paying judg-
ments against the estate of the
murderer, Arthur Duestrow. These
aggregate about 815,000, besides the
state's claim for over 85,000, covering
tho costs of Duestrow's trial and hang-
ing, which Auditor Seibcrt claims is a
prior lien. Tho answer claims that
Duestrow was solvent at the time of
his hanging, saying that he was
legally entitled to one-half the estate
after his parent's death. Instead of
having only a life interest under the
terms of the will. They claim that
will of Louis Duestrow, the
father, is Invalid, in that It
gave the Union Trust Co. indefinite
control of the estate should Arthur
and Hulda Duestrow die without issue.
As the probate court makes no definite
provision for the entailment of an
estate after the second generation,
they claim that the terms of the will
not clear and that the surviving
, Hulda Duestrow, is the lawful
custodian of the estute.
