Topeka. Kan., March 23.—John T. Gra
ham of Denver, who owns extensive gold
ana silver mines in Colorado and New
Mexico, and coper mines in Utah, passed
through Topeka today on his way to his
home. Mr. Graham operates smelting
plants at his various mines, and he has
been in New York in attendance at the
meeting of smelter operators, which re
suited In the perfection of a gigantic
trust with a capital of $63,000,000.
While in this city Mr. Graham made
the important statement that the first
step made by the new trust would be the
advance in the price of silver 10 per cent.
"This is a trust that will prove benefi
cial instead of oppressive," said Mr. Gra
ham. "All the smelter operators who en
tered into the combine signed a contract
agreeing not to raise the price on the
treatment of ore for 10 years. The ad
vance in silver will be made within a very
short time," continued Mr. Graham, "just
as soon as the combine can be perfected.

medical officers serving with troops in the

heal than those caused by the ordinary
bullet. Of course, the authorities can do
nothing to prevent the insurgents using
any kind of bullets they see fit. They
have no government to which an appeal
can be made-. Their action in this rc-spect,
officials say, is another indication of their
utter unfitness for self government.
It was officially stated at the state de
partment that tlie proclamation just is
sued by the Philippine commission is in
accordance with tlie instructions given to
President Schurman and his associates.
It is the understanding of officials that
within 48 hours Gen. Oils will recommend
active operations against the Filipinos.
By following up the proclamation of the
commission in this mannier the officials
believe they will impress upon the Fil
ipinos the determination of the United
States to end the insurrection and the
hopelessness of further resistance.

Seliroeder, formerly of Buffalo, N. Y.,
was fatally stabbed by an unknown per
son late last night. He could give no des

WILL RESIGN

Cuba, received by Senor Quesada, which!
he regards as trustworthy, are to the ef

clear the way, in his judgment, to a pa
cific adjustment of the affairs of Cuba.

IMPORTANT
PROPOSITION
Will be Made by the American
Delegates
TO THE PEACE CONFERENCE
it Will Relate to tue Settlement of
Most International Disputes
by Arbitration.
New York, March 22.—A dispatch to the
Uriah! from Washington says: There is
reason to believe that an important pro
position looking to tin 1 settlement of in
j to: national disputes by arbitration will
i be advanced ait the coming disarnianent
conference by the American delegates. It
is learned on high authority that the cre
[ <t. n.tiai's for and instructions to the Amer
j an delegates are now being prepared by
Secretary H'ay and will be ready for stib
; mission to the president for his approval
when he returns to Washington from his
j
'
(
!
southern trip. These instruction« will be
a complete exposition of the position of
this government on the question of dis
armam ent.
Sir JuHian Pauncefote lias been advised
of his appointment as senior member of
th(> British delegation. The British min
ister to The Hague will also be a m mber.
M. de Staael, the Russian ambassador to
Great Riitain and leading representative
of the czar at the conference, will be as
sisted by Prof. Martens, professor of in
ternational law In tins university at St.
Petersburg, and probably by the Russian
minister to The Hague.
Following the policy which it seems
likely that all the nations will adopt,
President McKinley will accredit the min
ister of the Netherlands as one of (he
American delegates. Ambassadors
White and Tower will probably be the
other members of the American dele
gation.
It was explained by a diplomai having
knowledge of the present program of tiie
Russian government, ; that upon the as
semblage of the delegates, a committee
will be appointed to determine tlv sub
i jectsi to come before the conference and
j the order in which they shall be consid
I'ered. So far as the proposition for a
'general dlsnrmta'ment of the nations of
the world is concerned, it will he the
i duty of tiie American delegates to explain
! and to show that the United States, from
a naval and military standpoint, is far
below the arml.iment it should have and
besides it was explained to your corres
pondent that this government does not
i intend to hamper in any way the inven
I five faculty of the people of this country,
j Nor is it expected that Great Britain will
j do soi.
j Tn fact, the most Important results
which tho officials expect of the confer
1 once will be the adoption of some plan
j for the reference of deputes tn general
i arbitration and the United States will
' have a plan of this character as well as
! other nations. The administration is
; strangely in favor of arbitration as 'lie
t meaniy for the settlement of disputes be
I i wo n nations, and, while it appreciates
j that there are a number of controversies
j that can only be settled by war, it is still
j behoved that many question'.« which arise
d are causes of much friction may be
ljusfd by arbitration.
The president is committed to interna
; tional arbitration! by his inaugural ad
dress and by subsequent declarations,
but bis administration bas not attempted
' to negotiate arbitration treaties—for one
: reason, because of the imminence of war
I with Spain, and the occurrence of the
j war. In view of the ass ambling of the
I confer« r.cr at The Hague, it is thought by
: ;h cj officials that the time has come when
t the administration can put itself on rec
ord before the world as favoring arbitra
tion.
COMBINATION OF
BREWERS FORMED
J
New York. March 2.—Stock in several
breweries in Newark has been trans
pired within the last three days, and it
is said that it is proposed to combine
all the breweries not controlled by the
English syndicate, among them the
Essex County Brewing company, the
j Trebese Brewing company, the Eagle
Brewing company, the Home Brewing
I company and several other plants. The
! Hill Union Brewing company recently
( hange d hands, and it is said that one of
! the owners is a brother of United States
Senator John Kenney. Tie- persons hack
of tho deal are said also to be interested
In the consolidation of the Trenton
i owing interests. The management of
the large Krueger brewery will pass from
j the hands of the present owne
and it is believed that their plant
is to be added to tho new combination.

as

be
by
tary of the Fire Patrol commission, New
York board of fire underwriters, said:
"I know Mr. Leland lias policies which
will bring him a stated amount each day
or each hour that his hotel business is
not running. The 'use and occupancy'
policies such as he held usually provide
that for every day that a room cannot be
occupied because of a fire, a certain sum
shall bc> paid. Many owners of public
houses take out such policies to pay for
loss of patronage In the event of fire.
As all the rooms were entirely destroyed
in the Windsor hotel fire, and it will be
a long time before the hotel can be re
placed. the amount Mr. Leland will re
ceive from these policies will probably
be large. 1 am not sure whether the
amount, he will receive each day is ex
actly $150. I cannot tell without consult
ing my books, w'hich are in my office.
Mr. Leland had no trouble in obtaining
insurance on his property, neither did
I he owner of the building, notwithstand
ing many reports to the contrary. All
the building laws that existed at the
time the hotel was erected were complied
with."
A MISSIONARY
WAS MURDERED
New York, March 23.—Inquiry among
the officers of the foreign mission boards
in this city regarding tho dispatch from
London reporting the murder of an
American missionary and his wife, and
the taking into captivity of his two
daughters by natives of the Mendi dis
trict, Sierra Leone, revealed the fact
that none of the larger boards had mis
sionaries In that part of west Africa. The
missionary alliance has men in Sierra
Leone, but one of its officers said that all
its representatives were young and un
married. From the same source it was
learned that the murdered missionary
was probably one of the United Brethren
missionaries. Their headquarters are In
Pennsylvania.
Six or eight months ago several of the
United Brethren missionaries of this
same district were killed and others of
them driven to the coast and their prop
, erty destroyed. It was not until the
British government sent troops that the
: natives were quieted and the missionaries
(dared to return to their stations. At
! that time a number of the natives were
j executed. These latest murders are prob
| ably the result of a recurrence of the
former difficulties.
TORTURED BY
THE NATIVES
San. Francisco, March 23.—A letter from
Capt. McQuesten. surgeon of the Twenty
eighth regulars, now at .Manila, tells of
the release of A. R. Peters, photographer
who was captured and tortured by the
Filipinos'. Peters was made a prisoner
while taking picture» outside the lines
He was thrust into a filthy jail where he
was vis'ited by a native captain, who test
ed his sword on bis body and promised to
kili Him. The rebel chief then called in a
number of naked savages, all armed, who
executed a. war dance and made passes at
Pet« rs, one of them wounding him In the
arm. The next morning he was taken to
Maloios, where he found eight Am ric.ms,
two Englishmen and a Spaniard. From
here be finally seemed his. release through
the Inti rvention of American officiais.
"The savages' who attacked Pet; i s,"
continues Capt. McQuesten, "were of the
tribe known as head hunters and canni
bals. They live, in the interior of the is
land and will not show any mercy after
this to any unfortunate while mini who
may fall Into their hands."
