Gans & ....Klein To-DAY the proposed secret conclave of anarchists occurs in Chicago. Among those who are to take part are Herr Most, Emma Goldman, Fieldcn, Mrs. Lucy Parsons and perhaps Elisee Reclus, the celebrated French government engineer.

Klein WHY HE'S CONFIDENT Cambler Hayward, Aeoued of Conpiacy to Murder Mis Clin, Holds Trump Card. MEN OF HIGH STANDING INVOLVED. They Advanoed Money on Worthles Inur: an Poliois on the Life of the Pretty Dresmaker. lit. Paul, Dec. 1.-An officer of the law who has been very close to Harry Hayward since his arrest, and who I as much In the confidence of that very secretive young man as an one on earth, consented to say something to a Pin neer Press reporter which fully ac counted for the air of confidence that Hayward wears at all times. He made It a condition In making the statement that his name should not be used for the present. He has been with the ac cused man very frequently since his arrest and has talked with him and there is, In his mind, no question but that he knows exactly what Harry in tends to use In his defense. The Pio neer Press informant said: "That Harry feels very safe there can be no question, and he does not assume the appearance of Indifference through bravado but because he Is aware that in making his defense he will drag into the case men of the high est standing In Minneapolis who are so far implicated with him that they share with him the profits arising from the death of Kate Ging. No. I do not mean that they were concerned in the murder, but that they hold policies on her Ilife. "They are not struggling to get to the front to make their claims under the policies, and neither are the insur ance companies clamoring to have the world know that there are more poll cles extant than those held by Harry Hayward. The companies may be as suming that 'the other policies will never f e presented for payment, and the m'la who hold the policies do not intend that they shall be made to par take of the odium that involves young Hayward. Hence they are keeping quiet in the hope that no one knows that they hold these policies and that their names will not be brought out. "I have been watching Harry closely and listening intently to what he has to say, and I am quite certain that his strength lies in the knowledge of just what policies there were on Kate Ging's life and who the assignees of those policies are. And what is stronger than anything else is the fact that he knows the circumstances under which they obtained these policies. He will probably not talk about th' matter until he comes up for triL Then h expects to arrange a few startling eur prises and call to the witness stand Mr. Bo-and-8o and So-and-So, and startle them out of their with by asking if on such a date they did not get from Kate ling a life policy for such a sum, for which they paid so much money, and won't they tell the jury the circum stances under which they loaned money on life policies of no actual face value? That is his line, I would bet my last cent. and it looks like a winner to him. "And it doesn't look bad to me. I don't- ., ve that Blixt has told the whole trliuIh, nor does anyone concerned in the investigation. I don't believe that Adry has told more than half the truth, or if he has, that it has yet been made public. Harry is accused princi pally by the man who admits that he killed Kate Ging. We all know that Illxt is trying to conceal something, but just what it is I don't know, although I have some well grounded suspicions. In order to make Ulixt's confession go as against Harry it must be corroborated by the strongest kind of evidence, for it is going to be very easy for the de fense to lprove that the murderer is telling some very bald lies in material niatters. Then about Adry, his yarn will not 'go' on the witness stand un ite- he tells the whole truth, and it is unlikely that he will do that. "Then comes in Harry. The evidence against him is not very well sustained, iand consists very largely in shiowing that he had the principal motive in getting the woman out of the way. lie au y ie able to t throw discredit on the 1, stin.o)y of ltllxt and Adry about hIl attempts to get them to take a pelt in the murder, and, if I am right in aily idea of what he in planning, he depends on the truths that he will present to do the rest. 'llayward'u connectunn wain mulss ilng was peculiar. They were in part neirahlp in schemes for making money Iy gambling, he admits, and he has itroppied some remarks which go to show that there was also a complete unlaelrstanding between them about making money by other plans. I do noit Iaatn to east any reilectlons on the I,.lad girl, anld, when one considllers what influence Harry had over her. there in Ino) injury dime her memory by the statement now of what Hayward will tell whlIen the time cme llis.

Robert Louis Stevenson Expires Suddenly of Apoplexy. Auckland, N. Z.. IDe. 1.-Advices from Apla, SHamsa, of IDec. ,. are to the effect that the well-known novellat, Robert Louis i4tevensorn, had died sud denly from apoplexy. lls remains were Interred on the summit of Pala mountain, 1,300 feet high. At the time of his death, Mr. Stevenson had Just completed the writing of a new novel. He was born in tfdlnburgh. Nov. 13, 1560; was educated at the private schools and at the Itniverlty of IRdin burgh, and was culled to t te NHcottish bar, but traveled alnd devoterd himnelf to literature. O)ne of his earlie.tl works was an a(count of his travels In ('all fornia, but the work which established his reputtation as a writer of fletion was Treasure island, published In 1:143. Among the. most popular of his works is Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, which was dramatized and played at the Lyceum in London in 1848, and sulbsequently in the United States. Among his other works are Kidnaped, The New Arabian Knights, The Slack Arrow. Rome time ago Mr. Stevenson, who was suffering from lung trouble, went to the south Pacific for his health. He became enraptured with the Hamoan Islands and decided to take up his resl dence and spend the rest of his days there. He took close Interest in Sa moan affairs, and has written many letters In the newspapers in favor of the natives as against the treaty powers under whose direction the government of the islands is conducted. A PIONEER (ONE. Mrs. Christians Duncan Died at Virginia City, Thursday. The old-timers are rapidly passing away. One by one they go, and the long list of the honored dead steadily increases. Qp Thursday one of Mon tana's pioneers to depart this life was Mrs. Christiana Duncan, of Sheridan. She was the widow of Rev. Hugh Dun can, and her age was 68 years, 8 months and 17 days, being born in Edinburg, Scotland, Mar. 20, 1826. She was mar ried to Rev. H. Duncan in 1846; a few years after they emigrated to the United States. Coming westward, they arrived in Virginia City in July, 1864. since which time they have been resl dents of that valley. The deceased could be truly called a mother in Israel, havlng lived an exemplary Christlan life from her youth, such being the testimony of those who knew her best. She passed over the dark river, follow ing her husband and children, who have gone before. She leaves two sons and two daughters to mourn her. Their losn is her eternal gain. Laying down life's burden at a ripe old age, having finished the work of life given her to do. Her welcome will be, "Well done, good and falth(ul servant' enter into the Joys of the Lord. " Rev. George Comfort preached from Hebrews 14 and 9th verse, "There is, therefore, a rest for people of God," after which the re mains were followed to the Sheridan cemetery, where they were placed by the side of her husband, a large concourse of sorrowing friends attend Ing. A GOOD SHOWING. The Report of the Northern Pacific Bene fical Association. The annual report of the Northern Pacific Benevolent association has been sent to the printer, and will be issued in about a week, says the Western Democrat. It shows the association to be, considering general depressions, in an excellent condition with several hun dreds of dollars in the treasury. No improvements of any account were un dertaken during the past year, ending June 30. No addition of any consequence was made to the hospital buildings or their furniture. In regard to medical work the report shows that there were treated at the IBrainerd hospital 1,074 cases, and at the Missoula hospital 1,041; by line surgeons on the eastern division 8,907, and on the western division 1.473, mak ing a grand total of 16.4915. Out of all eases treated at Itrainerd and Missoula only six at each pllanel died, and out of all cases treated by line surgeons only eleven died on the eastern division and an equal number on the western division. There are now forty-five local sur geons on the eastern dlvismn and forty two on the western divilson. There are three oculists on the staff. In Irainerd there are three chief surgeons and in Missoula there are two besides the lo cal surgeons. UNITED J'EKID E FINISIIISD MillionaireW. A. Clark Talks of Mines and Railroads. W. A.

ADJOURNMENT PROBABLE SATURDAY The House May Dispose of the Banking and Currenoy Bill, But This Is Doubtful. Waehington, I)er. 16.--The Nicaragua c'ali hill holds Its pilace as the unlln isthe-d huslilne1ss on thee senate' .alelndar, and t he- Kgeteral understandinlll allppjears1 to be that it will conlltinue' to Ica ulpy thle attention of the lonate with few Inter rulptllo, arnd those by cansent, ulltil a oete is reached. The bill only comes up eon each day after the disposal of molrning business, and it will surtrender Its pl.ace temporarily on Thursday to pIerllit cere-monles in -omtnmemlratIlonl of Weblster and Starke, of the unveiling of their stature, which ave beeen-m pll.ced Inl the capitol. There Ins also a possi billty that the committee on aplpropria tionn may ask consideration for the urgent deficiency bill toward the last of the week. It is understood that Hen ator (ockrell, chairman of this commit tee, will lay stress upon the chance of getting this bill through before the hol Idays, and that he will ask the senate to iass it on Monday or Tuesday. There Is little probability, however, that any ,of the other appropriation bills will receive the attention of the senate dur ing the week. The disposition among senators is fa vorable to adjournment on Thursday until after Christmas holidays, but It is probable the house will not consent to this arrangement, and adjournment will be delayed until Saturday. The programme thee with reference to ad journment so far as one has been ar ranged. Is to adjourn on Saturday, the 22d inst., until Thursday, Jan. 3. Some senators predict that the final vote on the Nicaragua canal bill will be reached this week, but friends of the bill scarcely hope for this result. They realise that the pre.dents of the senate are all against eation so speedy on a measure of such Inlportance and pre senting so many poitts for debate and set speeches, and they are also pre pared to encounter opposition, which has not yet taken definite shape. Sen ator Caffery's objectlon to an agree anent for a vote on the bill on Wednes day next is understod to have been made upon constitutional grounds, and it is quite probable that he, with sev eral other senators, including Vest, Tel icr, George and VU, will desire to be neard in opposaltk to the measure be fore it shall be l.moeed of. Senator Cullom will to-mortew open the speak ing fee the week with a speech on this question. This week, the last before the holi day recess, promises to be an exciting one In the house. The banking and cur rency committee has arranged to bring forward the Carlisle banking bill and will to-morrow proffer a request to the committee on rules for a special order which will set aside the remainder of the week, beginning on Tuesday, for debate on the Carlisle bill, with a pro vision for final vote on Friday next. The banking committee desires to pro long the sessions, to begin at 11 a. m. and continue until 10 at night, with re cess from 6 until 8 p. m. The terms of the special order will be submitted to the committee on rules to-morrow. There Is considerable opposition among the democrats of the house to the short limit It is proposed to set upon debate. Many of them feel that a measure In volving such gigantic interests, con templating, as it does, a revolution in the entire banking system of the coun try, should not Ib crowded through in haste. This feeling is shared by some of the most prominent leaders of the house, and It seems a large possibility that the banking and currency commit tee will be overruled and the special order will give this week to debate with a provision for final vote after the holiday recess. To-morrow the house will take up and dispose of the army appropriation bill. Adjournment for the holiday recess will probably occur on Saturday. Talk of continuing the session without the cus tomary recess seems to be based on very slight foundation. WAITING PATIENTLY, But Soon the Time Will Come for Active Retaliation. Washhilgton.

The two factions hired two, gangs of toughs, each numbering about 100, and intluding the most delsperate whites andl negroes in the city. These men were paid from $1 to $10 a day. Each was given a list of six names, tile largest number the collector would ac cept taxes for from one person, and money to pay their taxes. Each morn ing for ten days last gangs have slugged each other in front of and In side of the court house, hundreds of citizens gathering from all parts of the city daily to witness the big mills. For two weeks at least no citizen paid taxes for himself, all intrusting their names and money to hired heelers. At times nearly the entire police force of the city hid to be called to establish order, and For over a week the presence of about forty policemen has been con stantly required at the tax collector's office. Armies of heelers were fed at rival headquarters, where many of them remained all night, going out early each morning to resume the battle, and at the court house, where beer, whisky, coffee and sandwiches were given them. Two or three times a day a number of the workers skipped with their lists and money, disenfranchising many citizens. It is calculated that the cost of keeping up the two armies, which In the last few days has been increased to aboMut 300. to fight for polltax receipts, was over $10,000. They were disbanded early this morning. The next legislature will be appealed to to amend the law so as to prevent a repetition of these scenes. DEP UTIES PROROGUEDL.

The day following Huntington left for a vacation trip of several weeks to New York. The bank oflmclals kept thinking the check would turn up sooner or later, and deferred any action. As time passed on and It became evi dent that the bank was out $W0, they sent a message to the FPdelity and Cas ualty company, notifying it of the fact. and suggesting that Inspectors come on and make an investigation. The bank offcials claim that at the time they had no charges to make against Huntinglton or any employe of the bank In particular. All of their employes were bonded in the Fidelity and they preferred that the Fidelity coatpany should make the investigation rather than make It themselves. Messrs. Cromwell and Hayden arrived in the city last Friday and took rooms at the Grand hotel. They cross-examined each of the bank employes through whose hands the missing cheek had passed, and among the rest Hunting ton. They claimed to have discovered that h., had been spending more money than the salary of $451 a month which he was receiving would warrant, and on this fact, together with the fact that the check had last been seen In hbls hands., they hbaed their susplelons. Huntington and repre.ttatlves of the Fidelity company met Saturday night and made arrangements for another sleeting at the bank Munday morning, when the investigation was to be. re sumned. At the hour appointed they were together, and Cromwell and Hay den commenced to put the young man through a running cross fire of ques tions. President J. I). Edmondson and ('ashler C. It. Hannan. of the bank. were present during most iof the Interview. The conference had not been In prog ..ss naire ,thaln five\ minutes, when Hunting rose from his chair, pulled a gun arndl conmmenced firing at the rep resentatives of the Fidelity company. The revolver he used was a 44 caliber that belonged to the Ialb. and had been kept In the desk of the paying teller. The first three shots were fired at ('romwell, who had taken the lead In the interrogation, and all three took effect. The fourth struck Hayden and then Huntington raised the weapon to his own head and fired. lie fell to the floor unconscious and remained so until his death, at 1:10 p. mn. The two wounded menl ran out of the bank down lFifth avenue and into the tirand hotel, blood dripping front them at every step. They Were taken to their rooms and Dr. Donald Mcuae. Jr.. was sum moned. lie found that one of the bul lets had taken effect in Cromwell's back. Just to the right of the spine, about the waist line. It was found about four inches below the surface and extricated. The s.'cond bullet struck lit thie lift slide of his cheek, ploughed its way around the right side of his neck and came to a stop, just mlssing the carotid artery. The third struck him In the right wrist, he hav ing thrown upl his hand to strike the revolver out of Huntington's hands. It blroke oe on f the bones of the forearm clear in two and Imtnbeldded Itself in the other hone. almost severing it.
