Minister Polo informed Judge Day that Premier Sagasta would like to know what construction the Spanish Government could place on the purchase of the two Brazilian warships and why the American Government is making such extraordinary preparations for war with a country at which they were at peace Minister Polo asked for a good deal of other information from Judge Day, but these questions were the most important. In his reply to the Minister’s questions, prepared this morning, Judge Day is said to have called the Spanish Minister’s attention to Spain’s preparations for war, and stated that the United States had made no move in this direction until it was officially learned that Spain was negotiating war loans and endeavoring to buy war vessels, Special to the Post-Dispatch.

The Naval Court sailed for Key West last night. Just a month ago to-night the placid black harbor of Havana was reddened with the blown-up Maine’s volcano of fire and iron and mangled bodies of Amer- ican seamen. For four weeks since then splendidly balanced naval officers have sat as a Naval Board of Inquiry in grave discussion of damning proofs in iron, in wood and in human bodies. The junior officers have hourly coached and watched the divers and have put down plainly on paper the facts they found, and ‘now the verdict seems to have been reached.

CAPTURE OF PETER RENFRO. DISGUISED BY LCNG WHISKERS AND WORKING FOR A FISH- ING CLUB. THE OFFICER WAS A GUEST. While Out in a Small Boat With the Man He Made the Startling Dis- covery—Record of the Pris. oner a Dark One, Members of the fashionable Current River Fishing Club in Carter County, Missouri, did not know that the “honest” old man who always furnished them with minnows, was Peter Renfro, brother of the notorious moonshiner, and himself a fugitive, wanted for the murder of Will Dorris, a constable at Springfield, Mo., eight years ago. Ww. T. Brown, a United States Marshal, made the discovery, while a guest of the elub. + Re Though Renfro’s whiskers had grown, and his hair whitened, Brown recognized him, They had both lived as boys, and grew to be men, in the same townsite near Spring- field. It was a dramatic meeting. The officer was startled, when leaving the club for a fishing rig, to find that his oarsman was the much-sought for desperado. It was impressed on him that he was alone—and unarmed in a little skiff with the man who it was charged had killed a constable, when he attempted to arrest him, and Jater beat down a guard and broke jail, when a death sentence was hanging over his head. Mr. Brown sald that the water surround- ing never looked so treacherous. Did Renfro recognize him? He pulled his hat well over his eyes, prepared for the worst, and as leisurely as he could, said he guessed that he would not do any fishing that day. At the club he ascertained where Renfro lived, in a little boathouse, a mile away, and early the morning following, with the companionship of one of the club attaches he arrested hi Renfro offered no resistance. “Well, I guess the gapie’s up. I have tried to live right here, and ver thought that I would ever be caught}, I guess I'l) hang now,” said he The information of the clever capture brought here Wednesday by Deputy Unite States Marshal Fitzpatrick, who ‘arre sted George Patterson at Ink Postoffice, Shan- non County, charged with selling liquor without a license, He said that the country was all wrought up over the capture. From the “Horror book’’ in the Marshal’s office the details of the full crime were learned. In 1889 Renfro, a eaused a disturbance Springfield. A peace warrant was sworn out, and Constable Will Dorris was as- signed to bring the man to the city fail. Renfro was_under the influence of lit‘1or and unruly.- He stood at his house door and dared the constable to take him. When Dorris insisted he whipped out a revolver and shot him through the heart. He then picked up the dead man’s hat, placing it on his own head and leveled the weapon at’ the farmers who gathered. He said he would shoot down the first. who attempted to lay a hand on him. Stepping over the dead body he mounted the constable’s horse and made hig escape, A big reward attracted detectives. con Stables and citizens. A year later Renfro Was cornered in the Ozark Mountains in a cave. He made a Ceagerate resistance and was only captured when a fire was built in the mouth of the hole and he was 6emoked out. There was an exciting trial and the death sentence was passed. Renfro was placed in the Springfield jail to await the naming of the hanging day—and then he conceived the boldest plot to escape that has ever been recorded in this State. One of the guards brought him his lunch and he rudely threw it on the floor of his cell. The guard stooped to pick !{t up, and as he wae leaning over Renfro kicked him in the face, rendering him senseless. Then taking the keys and a revolver he fought his way to an outer door, unlocked it and escaped. A pursuing mob did not overtake him. That was five years ago and the hanging which was set for Jan, 14, 1893, was in- definitely postponed. ASSASSIN IS AN AMERICAN. Man Who Killed Barnato’s Nephew Was Once a New Yorker.

Remarkable Testimony on Which Two State Boards Have Reached Diametrically Opposite Conclusions. ' \s WEN SS Ans 5. Qe DR. J. T. -_ — - COOMBS. Cw. Stephens’ Activity in Getting Together the Board of Charities to Investigate the Management. WHY PRESIDENT: HORNE WAS SUMMARILY REMOVED, _s_o Dr. Coomts’ Failure to In- vestigate the Charges When First Made Against Himself. DISMISSED THE WOMAN WITHOUT A HEARING. eee of he Boards Who Took The Testimony. President R. C. Horne of the Board of Managers of the State Lunatic Asylum at Fulton received an anonymous letter Feb. 22 advising him that Superintendent Coombs had been charged by two witnesses with immorality and that the facts were in possession of the first assistant physicien, Dr. Hudson. Feb. 23 Dr. Hudson met President Horne by direction at Mexico and told him that Miss Emma Seal night watch, and Mrs. Ada Sanders, attendant, had reported to him that they had seen Dr. Coombs emerging at midnight from a room, of one of the women attendants, but that Coo mbs had denied it. President Horne summoned the Board of Managers by wire and they went to Fulton the following day. The Board of Managers met Feb. 24 and heard the testimony of Miss Heuer, Mrs. Sanders, Mr. Sanders, Dr. Coombs and Night Watch Yates. At the conclusion Dr. Coombs’ resignation was asked for. He delayed it half a day. Then the board peremptorily demanded and at last received it, and appointed Dr. Ray to fill the vacancy temporarily. ‘ Feb. 25 the board went to Jefferson City and laid the record of their proceedings before the Governor. That afternoon Dr, Coombs appealed for a hearing, on the ground he did not know what was charged against him, and had no opportunity to defend himself. March 2 Gédv. Stephens convened the State Board of Charities and Correction at Fulton and heard the testimony of 30 or 40 witnesses, including a statement by Dr. Coombs himself. R. E. Young, dissenting. This board exonerated the doctor, one of the members, Dr, Gov. Stephens removed R. C. Horne from the Board of Managers immediately after the report made by the Roard of Charities and appointed Attorney Tuckett of Jefferson City in his place. The Board of Managers as reorganized receifed the report of the Board of Charities March 8, restored Dr. Coombs to his office temporarily, and postponed further action until the first Tuesday in April. It is rather remarkable that amid the personal hatreds engendered by the dismissa] of Dr. | J. T. Coombs from the Superintendency of : | the State Insane Asylum at Fulton, none of the contestants or their friends have of- fered to furnish the facts to the people. Mysterious and disconnected paragraphs ‘have appeared occasionally in the newspa- pers, alternately threatening and defend- ing, insinuating and cajoling, but never once the coherent story of an incident 'which has become one of State-wide impor- tance. In many respects it is a singular story— one which has no parallel in the political history of Missouri, and it must be toid succinctly in order to be understood, The public is familiar with the efforts made early in the Stephens administration by the homeopathic school of medicine for recognition in the management of at least one of the State institutions, and the re- sultant cry. of dismay from the allopaths when the Governor turned over to the hom- eopaths the Insane Asylum at Fulton ané through the Board of Managers appointe® Dr. J. T. Coombs of Kansas City to be Su- perintendent. Dr. Coombs is a brother-in-law of Paul B. Moore, brother-in-law and private sec- retary of Gov. Stephens. The Board of Managers had been dis- tinctly named In the interest of the younger echool of medicine. It was composed of three prominent homeopaths, Drs. W. L. Reed of St. Louis; George A Dean of Kan- sas City, and H. W. Westover of St. Josepn, two Democrats and one Republican: Gen. R. €. Horne of Marshall, editor of the Democrat-News, who was a member of the previous Board by appointment of Stone and an ardent friend and supporter of Gov. Stephens; and Philip 8 Adams of Newton, two Democratic laymen. Only one name was presented to the of Dr. Coombs, and his appointment was presumed to be the unanimous request of the homeopaths of Missouri. All this Is public history. The remainder of the story was procured by the Post-Dispatch from a careful examination of the official records and documents in the possession of the State Board of Charities and Correction, the Board of Managers, and from personal interviews with Gov. Stephens, Gen. Horne, Dr. Coombs and others who had knowledge of the facts, in Jefferson City, Fulton and Marshall. Gen. Horne, as President of the Board of Managers, teils how the trouble origi- nated. On Tuesday, February @ he re- ceived an anonymous letter , dated at Ful- ton, charging that Dr. Coombs was seen to Gov." come from the bedroom of Mrs. Williams, an attendant, by Miss Emma Hever, night watch, on Friday night, February 11, and by Miss Hever and Mrs. James Sanders on Sunday night, February 13. The letter said the facts were in possession of Dr. J. Hud- s0n ,First Assistant Superintendent of the asylum and would be sworn to by the wo- men named. The writer advised President Horne to call a meeting of the Board at onee, before the affair became a public ecandal, and that on the arrival of the Board at Fulton he would appear before it, reveal hig name and produce the witnesses. “I never pay attention or give a thought to anonymous letters,” says Gen. Horne, “but this one gave a substantial basis of action by referring the board entirely to Dr. Hu mn. I felt I had no right to hesl- tate. Igtelegraphed Dr. Hudson to meet me next day at Mexico. On arrival there I told Bhim why he had been sent there. At first he endeavored to explain the mat- ter away, but finally, not having com- mitted himeelf, told me all he knew about the scandal, which was that Miss Hever and Mrs. Sanders had reported to him they had seen Dr. Coofbs coming from ,_Mre.

Dr. Dean of Kansas City was the first to arrive, I had retired, but he awakened me at mide night and wanted to know what the trouble’ was. I showed him the letter and told him what Dr. Hudson had said. He agreed that it was necessary to have an immediate investigation. Dre. Reed and Westover came later and in the morning we proceeded to Fulton. I had telegraphed Mr. Adams to meet us at the asylum at 9 o'clock and we found him there. 3 “We proceeded in a body to Dr. Mud- son's room. He was sick in bed, but re- peated to the entire board the story of what the women had told him, together with Dr. Coombe’ dental and the dismissal of Mrs. Williams. On reassembling in the office the board unanimously agreed that the session had been properly and necessa- rily caliéd.

It was repprted tlrt Hugh 8S. Tliiott the manager of the Presbyterian Board of Pub- lication had been caught in the building. Rev. &. C. Willlames, the city missionary of the Presbytery was searching for infor- mation of the fate of the employes. He said he did not think Elliott was in the | bullding. The Conover Piano Co. occupied the first, second and third stories of the building. The other tenants included the Presbyterian Board of Publication and the Sweet-Wal- lach Co., dealers in photographic suppiles, The latter firms were located on the gixth floor. It was here that the fire broke out. The floor was stored with chemicals and materials used in the manufacture of pho- tegraphic supplies, and, according to some who e¢ecaped, th® entire floor waa swept with flames in five minutes after the fire broke out. Three hundred girls were employed by this firm and when the fire broke out a panic emsued, many of the unfortunate Women being trampled under the feet of their comrades in their frantic efforts to escape. Cut off from escape by the elevators and the stairways the people penned in the burning building began jumping from the windowe, and though the firemen and oth- ors held nets and canvas many were crushed on the atone sidewalks, | According to eye-wilinesses, as Many as 10 jumped at once from the top floor and others were seen shortly after to fall back into the flames. The flames quickly epread to the floors beneath, The fioor occupied by the Presbyterian Board of Publication and Sunday-school Supply ©o., also contained material which feadily burned. On the lower floors the ‘plane supplies and instruments held: in stock by the Conover Piano Co, were soon transformed into tinder. The firemen were badly handicapped by the heat, which was terrific. Within a radius of m biock the heat broke panes of elass and disicdged signs, and streame of Water were Girected on the buildings on both sides of the street that far away in order to prevent them from catching fire. Several times minor biazes did occur. The greatest danger was in the rear of the Conover bullding, where were located big dry goods stores. Thirty-five minutes afier the fire had broken out, the doors had all fallen, and a moment or two later | the rear wall fell. Shortly after the front wall bulged outward and fell, the tracks of the Union elevated loop being completely covered with debris and blocking the whole elevated system. Nearly two hundred feet of the loop wil, have to be rebuilt.

The heat was 60 Intense and the smoke so thick that the elevator man feared to return for Miss Carney. Josie Baxa and Annie Baxa, sisters, living at 568 West Nineteenth street, and em- ployed by the National Music Co., leaped from the second floor to the street. Josie’s right ankle was broken and her sister was severely bruised. How the firemen working in the rear of the building escaped death 4s a mystery. In spite of the repeated warn 8 given them by their chief they remain at their post apparently fascinated by the slowly bulg- ing wall until it seemed certain death to Stay there a second longtr. Then they toox to their heels. The Wall seemed to hang for a moment but finally the big iron gird- ers broke and it came down with a crash just as the last Man got safely out of the way. The breaking of telegraph and telephone Wires almost caused a panic among the dense crowds of spectators. The wires fall- ing across the rails of the elevated loop were instantly charged with electricity and a wild rush to get out of the way took place at once. When water was turned on to the burn- ing elevated loops a beautiful sight oc- curred. As soon as the streams struck the feed rail they were apparcntly converted into showers of electric sparks, and an aurora was formed, sometimes spreading fanwise, then shooting high into the aijdr. as the spray drifted in the wind. This was kept up until the powerhouse was tele- phoned to shut off the current. An hour after the fire was under control the ambulance officials stated that they knew positively that six were dead and 23 injured, adding hat they believed that 19 were dead, Among the missing are Sol. Western agent of the Holtzman Co., tool manufacturers of Columbus, O.. and his father. Both had rooms on the fourth floor of the burning building. Neither has becn seen since the fire broke out, and it is be- lieved that both perished in the’ flames. he fire seemed to spring from three floors at one time, ‘The occupants of the fourth floor of the Emerson building say !t swept to the front from the rear of the building. On the fifth floor and the sixth floor those in front of the building heard the alarm and saw the smoke and flames at the same time. There was no time for inquiry. The dense smoke rushed through the rooms and drove the em- ployes of the various establishments down the stairway. There was but ohne narraw, winding stair leading from the top floor to the bottom and but one elevator’ In the employ of Sweet, Wallach & Co. were 2% men and Women. There were a dozen or more in the empoly of the Pres- grvertan Board of Publication on the fifth oor, There was a frightened rush of people to the elevator at the first call of fire. ‘The elevator boy was on the fourth floor when the alarm was given. From the Nat!on4l Music Co. and from the office of Alfred Bierly on the fourth floor half a dozen em- ployes were taken down the first floor, The boy returned once to the upper floors and his elevator was loaded again. He did not dare to make a third tr'p, for the smoke wes pouring down the shaft’ men and women without hats or coats ran down the stairway and into the street. “he first intimation that people on the Street had o fthe fire wis the appearance of Several of the fleeing employes. At the Same time a dense masse of smoke poured out of the front windows of the fourth and fifth floors. In another moment the upper floors were wreathed in flames and smoke. Several people made an attempt to run up the narrow stairway but turned back at the second floor by the downward rush of the smoke. There were apparently not over 30 people who made their escape by the eleva- tor and stairway. A number of the people on the upper floors made their escape from the rear by the fire- escape, but that egress was cut off by the Grollman. SPAIN IS TOLD / CONTINUED FROM.

They know it contained saluting charges, with detonating pritiiers attached, and they estimate that the tons of quick-burning powder dust exploded with the afi of whatever power the torpedo or mine had, and would and did cause the annihilation of the Maine, both in direction and amount of damage noted above and below water. | Capt.

He said the accusation was a lie; ‘that he did not know the location of Mrs. ‘Williams’ room, and that he could prove an alibi by the night watchman, Yates. The doctor was sworn and asked what he had said to Sanders. He testified: “I adked him, Is your wife sure that she knows the party who came from the room .of Mrs. Williams? He said he would see (his wife and again ask her if she thought she was sure.”’ “Have you ever said anything to there women yet?’ asked thé President of the board. “Not one word,” said the doctor. And there his testimony ended. Yates, the night watchman, testified: “Dr. Coombs told me there was a scandal out against him and that it had gotten into the hands of the politicians and _ that it was a falsehood against him, and he wanted me to help him out. He asked me if I remembered when _I was be ing those shells.” (These shells. were for a local gun-club shoot, in which the doctor was to participate.) “I eald I did. I Gon't remember whether Dr. Coombs wént with me around the halls that night (Sunday) or not.”’ Thus the alibi apparently failed. and the taking of testimony closed. President Horne says: “T then said to the board that we ha@ heard the evidence, and should take a vote on whether we considered it true or falee. That vote I suggested ought first to be by ballct. I appointed two tellers, and five slips jin the hat were returned marked ‘True.’ The result was unanimous, the three homeopaths included. The next ques-' tion was, What shall be done? Dr. Dean said: ‘Let’s give Coombs a chance to re- sign. His usefulness is at end here. That was agreed to and Dr. Coombs was sent for. “As President, of the bdéard I told him the conclusion of the members. He asked, ‘Is it imperative?’ I said, yes, and he replied he would hand it to us at 8 o’clock—it Was then noon. The board Waited until 6 o’clade in the evening without hearing from him and then we went to supper. After supper the doctor appeared and asked: ‘Gentlemen, is this final” I said, ‘It is.’ “All right,’ he answered, ‘I will hand you my resignation in a few moments.’ He went away again. We waited 2 minutes, and then we ran his signal bell. When he had reappeared said to him: ' ‘ ‘Doctor, we now know that you are trifling with the board. If you resign, noth- ing disparaging to you will appear on our records. If you refuse to resign we will proceed to depose you.’ ; ‘“*All right,’ he answered, ‘I will resign.’ “T gave him pen and paper and dictated | the form of his resignation, which he wrote and si#rned and then walked out of the of- | fice. When he had gone the board elected as temporary superintendent, Dr. W L Ray, the third assistant physician. whose name was the only one prese d. en we called in the witnesses and heads of departments and bound them to secrecy as to the causes of Dr. Coom)Ds’ resignation. “On the following morning the board went over to Jefferson City and reported the facts to the Governor, who at first said he did not see how we could have done other- wise. Later in the day Drs. Coombs and Hudson arrived and had a conference with the Governor. At the Madison Hotel, Dr. ' Hudson said to me, in the presence of Drs. Dean aud Westover: ‘I knew It would be only a short time when you had to let Dr. Coombs out, but I hate to have him go out under these charges.’ Drs. Dean and West- over had him repeat ft In the presence of the Governor and myself. Then Dr. Hud- son and I became involved if a heated in- 'terchange of language, for which he after- ‘wards apologized to me, and I apologized to him. That night the board went home.”’ The author of the anonymons letter ' proved to be J. R. Brandon, formerly editor of the Fulton Sun, now owner of a job ‘printing office, a fearless fellow with a pen- chant for investigation. He was partially the instigator of the proceeding against Dr. Atwood during the Francis adminis- tration. He says he never knew the board had arrived in Fulton until at night, and that when he reached the asylum with his list of witnesses an made himself known to the board, the resignation of Dr. Coombs had been accepted. Gov. Stephens says: “Coombs came to me in great distress; His reputation, which | Was more than hfs life, had been assailed and he pleaded for a rehearing. His aged mother, proud of her boy, had just arrived at the asylum from Kentucky on a visit to him. His family were in great grief and he Said all he wanted wag fair play. Short I began to receive petitions from the people , Of Fulton, asking that Coombs be given a rehearing. Justice required that he have it, because he had not been allowed to be present at the first inquiry, and could not roduce witnesses to disprove the charges. he last General Assembly passed an act establishing a State Board of Charities and Correction for the better control and mah- agement of State institutions, and I called poet board to meet in special session at “ulton.’’ The call issued by the Governor is some- pee remarkable, and is therefore given in Whereas, Information has come Board of Managers of Insane Asy cated at Fulton, Mo., convened In special sea- sion Feb. 24, 1898, to investigate charge of immorality against Dr. J. T. Coombs, the su- perintendent of said institution, which charges were based on ab anonymous letter said to have been written to Richard Horne. the President of said board, by one J. R. Brandon. and whith charges are said to have been sustained by sald beard and the resignation of the superintendent enforced from him; and, Whereas, It has been reported to mo that br. Coombs was very summarily tried wall con- victed, not having been allowed to be present and face those who testified against him. and not allowed time t6 secure counsel and wit- nesses in his own behalf, by reason of ail which he was unable to defend his own char- acter or to impeach the character of those who testified against him; and, Whereas, If said representations he true, an pt injustice has been doné to Dr. Coombs; ow, Therefore, I, ome that the um No. 1, lo- Lon V.

The Governor says he invited -all members of the Board of Managers to be present at the. hearing accorded to Dr. Coombs by the Board of Charities and that none of them responded except Phil- ip Adams of Fulton. The invitation he extended was In the following language: JEFFERSON CITY, March 2.

The Council's condition to ~~ CONGRESS TO “STICK.” NEW YORK, March 10.—The World prints this editorial to-day: Charles Sumner’s laconic message to Edwin M. Stanton, when an attempt was made to force the great War Secretary out of the Cabinet during the critical period after Lincoln’s assassination, is timely for Congress now. The message was in one word: “STICK!” The attempt of Mark Hanna, John J. McCook and the Sugar Trust syndicate to secure an early ad fournment of Congress—“leaving the Spanish-Cuban question in the hands of the President’’—is sup- ported by all the peace-at-any-price elements. If these sordid plotters and anemic protesters can only ‘“‘get Congress out of the way,” they are confident that they can confirm the President in his natural tcnd- ency to procrastinate, and so postpone the crisis beyond the hot season, when “free Cuba’”’ will become simply “a good enough Morgan until after election.” | There are already strong indications that Congress will not abdicate » as desired. Why should it? Does not Congress represent both the States and the people? Is not the power to declare war, when War becomes necessary, vested by the Constitution in CongressP The Pole are entitled to have this question of indemnity for the Maine and independence for Cuba settled by their immediate representatives. lf there are any doubtful on this question the World will reassure them by citing these strong words from the inaugural address of Presi- dent McKinley: “I Dea NOT SYMPATHIZE WITH THE SENTIMENT THAT CONGRESS {N SESSION IS DANGEROUS TO OUR GENERAL BUSI- NESS INTERYSTS. ITS MEMBERS ARE THE AGENTS OF THE PEOPLE AND THEIR PRESENCE AT THE SEAT OF GOVERN- MENT IN THE EXECUTION OF THE SOVEREIGN WILL SHOULD NOT OPERATE AS AN INJURY, BUT A BENEFIT.” It is the duty of Congress to “STICK!” the restoration of peace is the Mayor's @p- proval of that measure.

Frst, she jealously dreads any con- filct which might exhibit the repub- lic as a strong rival! naval power, and which would call forth at this junct- ure the great potential military strength of the United States. Secondly, she wishes by means ofa cheap and ins'ncere expression of ‘ Sympathy with the United States in a quarrel with Spain to obtain in re- turn the invaluable prestige of America’s sympathy in a possible Struggle with Russia in China. To this end men and newspapers, ordinarily most anti-American, as over tue Venezuelan difficulty, are now trying to impress France and Russia, America’s tried friends tn the | past, with the idea that an alliance between Engiend and America is possible of attainment. Such:-an alliance, if formed while England is distrusted in her motives and policy by every other civilized nation, would destroy the great moral influence which the United States as a non-aggressive and non- grabbing power yields throughout the world to-day. The sympathies of the ruling class- es of England are really with Spain. They are as hostile to America to- day as they were in the days of Washington, Jackson and Lincoln.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 16.—There are strong indications of dissat- isfaction with the President cropping out to-day among» members of Congress. They are beginning to believe that he means to dodge the Cuban question and will not meet the expectations of the country in the question of the loss of the Maine and the lives of her 250 sailors. Following are the views of some of the Representatives, prepared over their own signatures for publication in the Post- Dispatch: CONGRESS WILL NOT ABDICATE ITS POWER. The Democrats of the House will decide the question of adjournment when If the business of Congress and our foreign relations are such as We will un- it is reached. warrant we will vote to adjourn, otherwise we will vote against it. doubtedly resist an adjournment so long as the present strained relations between this country and Spain continue. We are not ready to leave the President the authority of peace or war. The Constitution vests that power in Congress, and we are unwilling to ab- dicate it. It might be more convenient to go home, but personal convenience and comfort cannot be consulted in crises. Of course, under the rules the Repub- licans can compel adjournment if they see fit. JOSEPH W. BAILEY, Representative from Texas and Democratic Leader in the House. WILL ADJOURN AS SOON AS IT DARES. This Congress is afraid of grappling with the great and responsible questions pending solution. It is afraid of itself and the people are afraid of Congress. and hence we need not be surprised if it adjourns early or hastily as soon as it can, in- stead of taking up the important questions awaiting solution. Congress will leave Washington a® soon as it dares to. BENTON M’MILLIN, Democratic Representative from Tennessee. ELEINS HAS NO FAULT TO FIND WITH SPAIN. The American people should treat Spain in this present state of affairs just as she would treat any other nation. She has no difficulty with Spain and seeks none. Up to this moment the United States has no cause for war with Spain. Spain is simply trying to hold what belongs to her, just as the United States did in the Civil War. The United States did all it could then to prevent the independence of the Southern States. As to freeing Cuba without war—if Cuba can drive Spain from the island she will secure her independence. The United States has no more to do with the war between Spain and Cuba than any other nation on earth. Whenever it becomes just and right for the United States to recognize the independence of Cuba it will be just and right for all other nations to do the same thing, especially the governments on this continent. This, of course, will end the Cuban war and other difficulties. What Cuba would do afterward I cannot say. The independence of Cuba will not solve the entire Cuban problem. The ques- tion will remain whether Cuba can govern herself in case she should secure her independence. The most the United States could do would be to demand a money indemnity, but just what the United States would do in the event it is shown that the Maine was blown up is not clear. There are no precedents. If Spain should insist on submitting the matter of paying indemnity to a court of arbitration I do not think the United States could well afford to refuse. If Spain had nothing to do with the blowing vp of the Maine and it was an act of irresponsible parties it was a crime against humanity and civilization as much against Spain as against the United States. I don’t think the United States is called upon any more than Mexico or South America to take action now in Cuban matters. Friends of Cuba are the cause of the most of the war feeling that now prevails in the United States. They are willing, in order to secure Cuban independence that the United States should go to war with Spain. . : I think more of the United States and her people and her interests than I do of the Cuban cause or Cuban independence, and I am not willing to go. to war simply to secure Cuban independence. STEPHEN B. ELKINS, Republican United States Senator from West Virginia, CULLOM WOULD SHOOT THE SPECULATORS. Senator Shelby M. Cullom of Illinois dictated the following r : proposition to purchase Cuba: & regarding the “Any man, whether a member of Congress or otherwise, who would attempt to make a dollar out of such a crisis is too mean to live. Men who attempt to speculate on the calamities of the poor Cubans or on the blowing up of the Maine ought to be shot.” MUCH DEPENDS ON THE REPORT OF THE COURT. but not all, depends on the report of the\ Board j , : of Inquiry as to the Maine.

Reed told a Post-Dispatch reporter this morning that Congress would probably get through its labors by the middle of April. All ar- rangements have been made for a speedy adjournment. The appropriation bills are now well under way, two or three of them have already passed and the other in committee are before the two Houses, and the edict having gone forth that there is to be no currency legislation and no river and harbor or bankruptcy bill, there is nothing for Congress to do after passing the moncy bills if it is decided to sidetrack Cuba. The early adjournment scheme is backed by the anti-Cuban sentiment in Congress, which is anxious to get Congress out of the way, fearing it will recognize the independence of Cuba, thereby precipitating trouble, THE PRESIDENT ANXIOUS TO GET CONGRESS OFF HIS HANDS. The President also desires the credit of Special to the Post-Dispatch. WASHINGTON, March 16.—There is con- firmation of the statement that the Presi- dent tand the Republican leaders in Con- gress mean to secure an early adjournment, leaving the settlement of the Cuban ques- tion to the President. That the majority of the Senate favors the plan is admitted. Yine-teuths of the Republican Senators have virtually agreed to allow the President to have his will. The Democrats who agreed are influenced by what they regard as wise party tactics. There are several Republican Senators who were not really taken into confidence by the President, among them Chandler, Lodge and Foraker. The two former are not in a pleasant frame of mind. Senator Lodge is sorely disappointed. He expresses the opinion that Congress ought to be in session while the Cuban negotiations are progressing. A Senator who has taken active part in the deliberations would not permit the use of his name when he explained to me as follows: “The President will be allowed to use his full constitutional rights. He can recog- nize belligerency or independence, and can do almost everything required except to de- clare war or to provide supplies. “The act of war will have to come from Spain. The President can defend the national honor if assailed. “In case of war it has been deemed ad- visable, if necessary, to lay a war duty on beer, tea and coffee. This, mind you, is only in event of war having been forced upon the United States.” The purpose of the President is to pre- vent war. He is desirous of being recognized as a great Christian statesman who attains mpportant ends by peaceful methods. he President fears a prolonged discus- sion of the Cuban question by the Senate. He has a worse case of Congress on his hands than Mr. Cleveland had. Mr. ang omy gives expression to that fear later in this dispatch. closing the matter himself. Yet he is un- doubtedly influenced by the extraordinary pressure that is exerted on him by great corporationg and financiers. Durin the past week this pressure has greatly in- creased, Capitalists in the money centers of Europe fear war lest Spain should fail] to pay in- terest on bonds and various securities.

At present the best authorities who are familiar with Spanish actualities believe that diplomacy will fail. The views of several members of Congress are here.appended. Every one should well weigh the amazing words of Mr. Dingley. They damn Congress, a mem- ber of which he ts, as being unworthy the nation’s confidence. It is a humiliating confession: Senator Cullom said: “I am erfectly willing to leave the question with th ent.’”’ e Presi- Senator Teller said: “I have always been for free Cuba, but as the wish of the people seems to count for but little, I suppose it is just as well that Congress should ad- journ as soon as it gets through with the appropriation bills and let the President solve the Cuban problem.” Representative Cannon said: “I expect we will be ready to adjourn: before May 1 The Cuban question the President has in hand, and I have no doubt that he will act in accordance with what he believes to be good policy.’’ Representative Dingley said: ‘‘We have been working for an early adjournment because we believe it to be the best thing for the country. The business wofld is more or less disturbed during the sessions of Congress, and the sooner we get away from here the better. My bellef now is that the House will be ready to adjourn by the middle of April.”’ CLEVELAND, O., March 16.—Mr. Frank H. Morris, Fourth Auditor of the Treas- ury and a personal friend of President Mc- Kinley, who !s at present in Cleveland, speaking of the Cuban question, said: “There will be no war.

RICHMOND, Va., March 16.—Fitzhugh Lee, Jr., son of the Consul-General at Cuba, who has been in Havana for the last two weeks on a visit to his father, has returned to Richmond. Mr. Lee said he was not at all anxious now concerning his father, except for the hard work he Is doing. ; Mr. Lee was asked if he knew the causes that led up to the destruction of the Maine and replied very promptly that he did. He declined, however, to say where he ob- tained this information. He intimated that the finding of the court would cause trouble between this country and Spain. THE NEW SHIPS FROM BRAZIL. NEW YORK, March 16.—From) dispatches received in this city from Washington it is learned that the cruiser San Francisco and her charge, the new cruiser Amazonas, will come direct to New York from Newcastle-on- Tyne, England. The sister ship of the Ama- zonas, the Admiral Abreuall, will follow as soon as she is able to proceed under her own steam. The run across to New York is expected to take about 10 days. Both the San Francisco and the Amazonas are very fast ships, and a rate of 15 knots an hour would be easy speed for either. The Amazonas Will get a final touching up at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, As she is to- day she represents only hull, engines and battery.

In accepting a sentence of two years in the penitentiary on @ plea of guilty for ex-Treasurer Riedy of the Police Relief Association, Attorney Bass says that his client is a martyr, anc that if he had gone to trial and told the whole story of the defalcation Riedy would have been acquitted and a num- ber of police sergeants and patrolmen would be in hig place. Mr. Bass further declares that he has in his possession evi- @ence the publication of which would cause a tremendous police sensation and result in wholesale decapitation of ser- geants and patrolmen. This is a serious charge to make. It reflects on the entire Police Department. It is not necessary for ex-Treasurer Riedy to go to trial to bring his accomplices to justice and to clear of suspicion all who were not implicated in his crime. There is the grand jury. Mr. Bass should go before it. He and others with knowledge of this alleged wholesale criminal- ity among the police should be called before the grand jury. What will the Board of Police Commissioners do about the charge? Will the Board let such a sweeping accusation of dis- honesty directed against sergeants and patrolmen rest? Will it couple with submission to the gross injustice of the Monro- tus-Forgey case indifference to a charge so vitally affecting the department and the reputation of its officers and men? -=— — = ee ae Regular Circulation of the Post-Dispatch last Sunday, 119,955. _ >>> rer ’ Jtis remarkable if the President, in the present crisis, wants Congress to adjourn so that he may alone for war or peace de- cide the Spanish-Cuban question.

In another column a city merchant urges a reform in the ad- ministration of affairs, first by a rigid accounting for every dollar received and paid out, and second, in a lessening of the burdens now laid upon manufacturers and merchants by a reduction of licenses and the abolition of petty exactions. These are good points. Tax-dodging and bossism stand in the way of the city’s growth. The business man is fined for his enterprise and energy while the tax-dodger evades his plain duty as a citizen. The revenues are wasted by inefficient ublic officials and corrupt spoilsmen doing the bidding of the Oss. The only way out of the dilemma is to abolish bossism by establishing the merit system and then enforce the law we have against tax-dodgers until a better system of taxation Can be devised and put in operation. - . i a ae The inheritance tax case is another instance of the unconsti- tutionality of what is good. ~~ er MAKE THE CARS SAFE. In addition to the deaths and maimings by street cars on sceount of inefficient fenders, there are frequent cases of se- rious injury inflicted because the cars on some of the lines are without any side screens to prevent persons from falling ot be- ing pushed under the wheels. Two accidents of this kind have occurred within the last few days, the victims of which will probably be lifelong cripples. There is nothing intricate or costly about these side screens. An inexpensive screen on either side, boxing in the space for @ sufficient distance alongside the wheels, is all that is nec- essary. Unless the companies who have heretofore neglected to pro- vide these screens wish to continue to cripple’ or kill persons aud to incur the permanent ill-will of the public, they will hasten to supply the deficiency. This is the least they can do to prove that they are not destitute of human feelings. a i If the President is disposed to gs 7 e plit hairs over the legal espect of the Maine disaster he will find expert and loadas- sh ptngind get age pas among our friends, the enemy, who eagerly split hairs with him to avoi Reng id either paying or = = — 2 ae MISSOURI AT OMAHA The management of the Transmississippi Exposit ing its efforts at making the Fair a eee. ss lentes onded by States, cities and public-spirited firms and individ- coat in a surprising and gratifying way.

To ‘“‘Take the Cake.”’ In England as early as 1663 a cake was a trophy earnestly striven for in the foot races which were ftin across the meadows and at all trials of speed. At Easter and Whitsuntide, in Ireland, the peasants annually met and danced on the green. A prize, the finest cake in the county, was displayed On top of a tall pole decorated with flowers, and was finally awarded to thé couple holding out the long- est. The test, it seems, was endurance in the dance and not grace. Bridal cakes were also struggled for as trophies in England. There were great times at a wedding and at the moment the bride set out for her new home a company of young men started ahead on horseback. A pole three or four feet high had been erected in front of her new habitation gre upon this was set a handsome cake. bre man fortunate enough to win the race knocked off the cake with his stick and eventually received it from the hands of pox | bride. This was called “taking the cake.”’ VERY LIKELY. Jimson: Why don’t the men who are in- vestigating the sunken Maine tell the public what they find?

A City Merchant Thinks Present Meth- ods Unfair to Business Interests. ring to me as I dictated them, a memo- randum of which I sent you the other day, J do not think there has been at any time corruption in the disbursement of the city’s funds, but it seems that sufficient care has not been exercised or economy practiced, nor has the money been expended to best advantage. In my summing up the returns realized I included the sewer system, but, !f I mis- take not, a part of the sewer expense is borne by property owners. Aside from the sewers and the new City Hall, what have we to show for the millions expended; and, in addition to that, the heavy bonded debt? As to taxation for revenue, real property on the average is valued now for fully what it would sell at forced sale. Merchandise and personal property as a general rule wogild not sell at forced sale for more than they are valued for taxing purposes, any higher price secured for it being contingent upon expense, effort and personal service of owner in finding a market for it. As to household effects, if they were sold out new just after purchase they would not bring over half the first cost; and as the years xo by the value steadily lessens till they are worn out or worthless. As to licenses and taxes on business transactions resulting from personal effort and involving the expense and efforts of employes, in justice there sould be no such burden laid on neéntal and physical effort and enterprise the results of which have raised St. Louis from 4 hamlet’s obscurity to the front rank of Western cities. The manufacturer and merchant pay a tax on the property, real and personal, with which they conduct their business. Is it just that in addition to this they should be taxed for the use of their time, effort and genius devoted to make the property earn them a living and incidentally giving em- loyment to Sacusands of deserving work. she people who have rot the genius and in- tellect or capital to establish a business for themselves? A merchant or manufacturer should no more pay such a license or tax than the doctor, lawyer, musical composer, preacher or artist or any professional man should pay a tax on his mental development and results of his labor. Regarding the public schools and the im- mense amount which it is said will be re- quired to conduct them, ‘t seems to me the public schools should have a sufficient rev- enue from the school lands that were set apart for them, and if managed _ strictly within the lines originally intended—to give a good grammar schoo! education and no more—should be carried on with the aid of a rate of taxation far less than that now exacted. A large proportion of the taxpayers of the city derive no benefit from the public schools, as their children do not attend them, vet they have to pay the tax. It does seem that taking into account that all tax- pavers have the burden of put'lc school tax- ation and that not over two-thirds of them avail themselves of its privilere, the educa- tion of two-thirds should not amount to such a tremendous sum per capita of all taxpayers as it does.

SO SAYS ATTORNEY BASS. IF THEY FAIL TO DO SO HE WILL COMMENCE CIVIL PRO- CEEDINGS. SHARERS IN THE’ SPOILS. Reiteration of the Assertion That Ser- geants and Patrolmen Were Ac- cessories in the Loot of the Relief Association . The names of the patrolmen and police sergeants who, it is.alleged, have bene- fited by the peculations of John E, Riedy, ex-Treasurer of the Police Relief Board, may be made public. Attorney Simon Bass, who represented the defaulting treasurer, says the police- men who obtained money from Riedy must repay or be made defendants in civil suits for the recovery of the money loaned them. Riedy was sentenced Tuesday to two years in the penitentiary on his plea of guilty to the charge of embezzling $9000 from the association of which he was treasurer. “Of course I am not at Hberty to disclose the names of the men who received money from Riedy,’ said Mr. Bass. ‘It was to save their reputations and positions that my client entered a plea of guilty and accepted his punishment like the martyr he is. “But the statement that I made yesterday in the Post-Dispatch is true.” He was the victim of his friends. They borrowed money from him that they never paid back. Though he sacrificed himself for them thev #tood in the back ground and allowed him to 0 to the penitentiary without raising a and in his behalf. “Now they must pay to him the money they borrowed or bear the brunt.” Chief of Police Harrigan will take no cognizance of the printed charges made by Riedy through hi« attorney. “Why should I pay any heed to the charges of a self-convicted thief?" inquired Chief Harrigan. “I read Riedy’s statement, but I do not believe a word he uttered. The charges he makes are against officers of the Police Department, and they are worthy of no credence. If there were any truth in his charges and he could have been saved the disgrace and humiliation of a term in the penitentiary he would have informed on them, A man who is a thief will not shield his friends if by informing on them he can escape punishment.’’ “But, Mayor Harrigan, suppose that At- torney Bass does bring euit against the Sergeant and patrolmen and it isa shown that they owed him large sums of money, then would you take cognizance of the ' Pts “ ° - — . = % 4 Py . : : ‘ " Found in a Broadway Store 1 It is the quickest | The blad- : invited to analyze it. . > > . > 7 > > . .

Mrs. Thomas Deekie of 5385 Easton av- enue was awakened at 2:30 o’clock Wed- nesday morning by the crying of her baby. The child had been ill and the anxious mother hurriedly left the bed to get some soothing syrup. As she did she heard a crackling sound overhead. The next in- etant a large piece of pilaster fell from the ceiling and flames and smoke shot down- ward into her room, In her half sieepy condition it took Mrs. Deekie several sec- onds to realize that she was not dream- ng. ' Biren she felt her way to her sleeping hus- band and awakened him. “The house is afire,’’ she said. up and help save the children.”’ os her excitement she forgot then that Thomas Jr., aged 7, and May, aged 13, also slept on the first floor last night.

The thought flashed re gt her mind that one of the children h gone into the bathroom and upset a lamp. Perhaps her darling was in there now, ay to death. Her husband shouted to her from the foot of the stairs, but she didn’t hear him, for she was in an agony of fear that her children were perishing and she had, no thoughts but to save them. Pressing her hands to her mouth and nos- trils she groped her way through the suf- focating cloud of smoke, the flames flash- ing flercely about her, blistering her flesh and filling her heart with terror. The husband called again and again, and then sprang up the stairs after her. She was almost suffocated when he found her. “Mary, the children are sleeping down stairs,”’ he shouted, and then he caught the half fainting woman in his arms and bore her to the floor below. Lifting a side window, he assisted his wife through it into the yard of her father, James Healy, who lives next door. Then ho caught the baby from the bed and passed it out to. her. By this time flames were crackling all @round him, but he fought his way to the room where his two children were fast asleep and carried them safely to the open air. The little ones had almost smothered as >! slept, 4 The hysterical cries of Mrs. Deekie had already awakened their relatives next door and James Healey, Jr., her brother, had run in his night shirt and slippers to Burd and Easton avenués, a b Kk away, and turned in an alarm.

The Populist State Central Committee wil! meet at the Lindell Hotel on Tuesday, April 12 to take action on the question of holding a State Convention to nominate candidates for State offices. The Middle-of-the-Road faction, acting eecensontty of the National and State Committees have called a State Convention of their own and will doubtless nominate @ full ticket, It is fully expected that the State Centra! Committee will decide to hold a Convention, in which case there will not only be two tickets, but an interesting fight on which faction will be entitled to call their ticket the regular Populist ticker. But the State Committee will not call a Convention without objections being urged. It contains some members who favor a Middie-of-the-Road policy, notably, it Is said, J.

No Intrusion on States’ Rights. In the Senate yesterday the national quar- antifie bill was laid before the Senate and read at length. | ° Mr. Vest of Missouri, in charge of the bill, offered the following new paragraph as a committee amendment: “Nothing in this act shall be construed to interfere with the right of any State to protect its citizens from infectious or con- gious diseases by such rules and regula- tions as the authorities of said State may deem necessary, and which do not conflict with the rules and regulations made by the Secretary of the Treasury, as hereinbefore prone to prevent the introduction of in- ectious or contagious diseases into the United States from foreign countries or the spread of such diseases from one State into another State.” ; AP ine bea MB a, Jersey opposed the ’ ng at i l h power in the hands of B. aced too muc pposed the posi- tion taken te held that a uniform system in fighting. an epidemic or _ A be med. Ce te easary and that c e only thro ; Government. y ugh the national n response to the intimation - ell that the Southern States ao verte by mercenary motives in Supporting the sory: 4 bill, Mr. Vest sharply pointed out hat the greatest opposition to the bill had come from the Southern States. Mr. Vest, relying further to Mr. Sewell asked whether the United States Govern. ment should stand helpless and sge its peo- ple slaughtered and its commerce crippled or destroyed lest the reserved rights of States might be invaded or destroyed. He maintained that the United States had sov- ereign power to act in the matter of quar- antine. As a further argument in favor of a national quarantine, Mr. Vest said it had been openly charged that during the yellow feven epidemic last year the embargo of a quarantine had been placed by some cities against others purely for commercial rea- sons.” Under a national system of quar- antine no,such unfair advantage could be taken. At the conclusion of Mr. Vest’s remarks, the quarantine bil was laid aside. CUPPLES BLOCK ROBBERIES. Chris Sprehe Confesses and Jdins the Gang in the Holdover. Chris Sprehe, inside watchman at the Simmons Hardware Co., had no bird, but he thought he might have some time, so he did not overlook the opportunity to secure a cage. And that birdless cage will rebound as a boomerang against Sprehe a little later, And she soon had a man on the string. when he is arraigned in court on the charge of complicity in the systematic robbery of wholesale houses in the Cupples Block. Sprehe was arrested Tuesday night. He has been employed as inside night watch- man for the Simmons Hardware Co., a po- sition of trust. ? When Sprehe was taken before Chief Des- mond, he at first protested innocence and his employers had such implicit confidence that they regarded his arrest as a mistake. But an hour in the sweatbox caused a change to come over the accused watch- man, and he confessed that he had for the last two years been in league with Jasper, the absconding watchman, “But my i= stealings,”’ said “amounted to but’ little. Some canned goods, which were used at my home; some granite ware and a bird cage.’’ The bird cage and granite ware were found at Sprehe’s «home, 2348% Adams street. The goods were confiscate aod added to the general stock sivre tn the de- tective rooms et the Four Courts. Harry Jasper, the much-wanted member of the gang, is still at large. AMATEUR ORCHESTRA CONCERT Directed by Miss Woodward, Organiza- tion Entertains Its Friends. The St. Louis Amateur Orchestra, which is composed of ladies and gentlemen, enter- tained some hundreds of friends in the Union Club Hall last night. The pro- gramme was constructed with the nicest re- gard for \the abilities of the organization and the rendition of the numbers won hearty applause. Barring a notable weak- ness in the reeds, the orchestra has gained high efficiency. The Beethoven First Symphony was the most perfectly rendered number. The most interesting was a piano concertd by Schu- man, rendered by A. I, Epstein, with or- chestral accompaniment directed by Miss Anne F. Woodward. How well or ill Mr. Epstein played none of the auditors knew or cared. All attention was concentrated on Miss Woodward. — She is tall and molded on those large lines which Du Maurier loved and Gibson has adored. Her color igs warm, her expression wholesome, her interest in musio girlishly intense. She was dressed in white and as she stood awaiting the soloist’s pleasure, her white baton lifted, her extended left hand ready for the flutter that would impress em- phasis upon the first violins, she was a charming picture of the American girl. The propitiatory smile had vanished. She was absorbed in the deed of direction. The soloist, also absorbed and free, varied the tempo with his mood, and left the director sadly in the rear occasionally, but ever, with increased earnestness she pursued, and overtook him. She kept the orchestra at the point of her baton marvelously well and at the end the applause that roared of ban “as the amiable itt “Sepa fn know and acknowledged. ee ee H.

Force at the Federal Building Observe Army Etiquette. “How-de, Captain.”’ “How-de. Have you finished mopping?’ “Ay! Ay! Sir.’’ The men saluted and passed each other in the Federal Building corridor.

It Is Better Adapted to Such a Per- formance Than Any Structure in the Country. The Coliseum is to have its circus chris- tening next month. New York City has had an event of thie nature in Madison Square Garden for a number of years, and lately Chicago has taken on airs with the Coliseum, where the big Democratic con- vention was held and with the Tattersall Amphitheater. The latter structure has been used a great many times by the Ringling Brothers for opening their big circus each spring, but eince thé completion of the Coli- seum in St. Louis last year negotiations have been pending, and some time ago re- eulted in an arragement by which the well- known circus men will transfer their regu- lar springtime opening from Chicago to St, Louis. Before the big structure was built sev- eral conferences took place between the Coliseum management and the Ringlings and many euggestions of the circus men relating to the arena space and auditorium were acted upon, the result being that the Coliseum is the best adapted big building for circug and menagerie purposes in the country. The space under the seats is to be utilized for displaying the 2 big ele- phants, 60 or more cages of animals and other hundreds of zoological sights of the show. The room here\is wonderfully well adapted to this purpose, being so spacious that when the big carved dens and cages are arranged there will atill be a broad promenade for spectators, Iti is in the arena that the fitness of the Coliseum for exhibitions of this kind will be most strikingly demonstrated. The arena space admits of the conventional three rings and elevated stages which will be constructed for the uestrian, athletic and acrobatic displays of the show. Sur- rounding the rings and Stages there will be a hippodrome track for the racing events, sports and pastimes that gave t Coli- seum’s ancient namesake its undying fame, and reaching from the ground to the huge dome of the big building in a space over 8) feet in height there will be a perfect labyrinth of high-poised and ready-fixed aerial apparatus for the presentation of the numerous mid-air novelties With which it is said the big show is to teem the present season, The seating accommodations of the Colli- seum are particularly good, the arrange- ments being such that every inch of the arena space is visible from any seat in the house. Even the seats nearest the arena are so elevated that their occupants can not be annoyed by dust caused by the speeding chariot horses.
