ST. LOUIS, Feb., 14.— The kidnapping
of Chris Yon der Ahe, the St. Louis
base ball magnate, was brought offi
cially before the St. Louis grand jury
t« <;;>>-, and a report on it will be made
later.
Some time ago Baldwin filed a suit in
the St. Louis circuit court here to se
- cure the payment of the judgment se
cured against Yon der Ahe, in Pitts
l'Ui£. This afternoon Yon der Ahe fried
an amended answer, claiming $50,000
damages for being removed from the
state of Missouri against his will.
PITTSBURG, Pa.. Feb. 14.— Chris
Yon Der Ahe Is still behind the bars in
tli- Allegheny county jail, his friends
in St Louis having apparently desert
ed hi.n. The promisw d money failed to
arrive today, hut notwithstanding this
failure, the i.ase ball magnate will
likely be released tomorrow morning.
This will be accomplished by W. H.
Watkins satisfying all of the demands
of the court, relying on the National
presidents to reimburse the club
by a pro-rata assessment.
Watkins visited Yon Der Ahe in jail
today, and found the latter in rather
bad shape physically from stomach
trouble. Chris asked the Pittsburg
president to secure his release, pmin
lsin._: indemnification later. Watkins
then telegraphed National Secretary
Nick Young, requesting a telegraphic
vote- of the club presidents on the prop
osition that each pay his share of
court expenses in the case.
Young answered that the vote would
be taken at once, and he would do all
he could to have a decision tonight or
early in the morning. It is under, tn. ,:l
that favorable replies have already
been received, and all are expected to
fall in line tomorrow.

Since Senator Nelson returned and
found that Senator Pettigrew had stol
en some of his thunder in getting a
free homestead amendment tacked on
j to the Indian appropriation bill, mat
ters are not as serene as they might
be. It is stated that Nelson had been
given to understand that tht- Indian
bill would not be taken up until his re
turn from the trip down the Miss sslppi.
He had many item? in the bill upon
which he wanted to be heard and was
the especial champion of the free horn- s
amendment. But the bill was hurried
through notwithstanding Nelson's ab
sence.
The Minnesota delegation in the
house today, decided not to move con
j currence on the free homestead amend
ment until aft(-r the first report of tho
conference committee. It lock, now as
if the amendment would be sustained.
Dar S. Hall, commissioner to negoti
ate with Chippewa Indians of Minne

to a summons from the . < eretary of

ed as to some plan to settle up that
everlasting Mille Lacs Indian reserva
tion dispute. Hall has been friend
ly to the proposition of leaving the
old bucks alone on the Mille Lacs lnnd,
and it is understood that it was on his
recommendations that Commissioner
Hermann made an adverse report of
Representative Morris' bill to grant pa
pers to white settlers to a great share
of the lands in dispute. Some sort of
compromise will be attempted.
Sera tor Nelson today introduced a
bill in the interest of the Chippewa In

pay them a large sum of money under

Officials Think the Bear Relief Ex

WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.— The secretary of
the treasury has received a telegram, dated
Seattle, yesterday, from Capt. Tuttle, of the
Bear, telling of landing the expedition sent
to the relief of the ice-bound whalers In the
Arctic.
Capt. Shoemaker, chief of the revenue cut
ter service, says that, owing to the advanced
season of the year, the Bear's landing of the
overland expedition was effected at about the
time and place anticipated by him, and that
he feels that, owing to the indomitable cour
age of the two officers who head this expedi
tion, Jarvis and Berthold, its success Is prac
tically assured. They probably reached St
Michael's on Dec. 26, a week thereafter they
probably reached the Teller reindeer station
on the north shore of Norton sound, and
are now well on the road to Point Hope, by
way of Kotzebue sound, on the Arctic shores
of Alaska. From that point they will take
the coast line route to Point Ban-row, mak
ing such arrangements at stopping places on
the route as may be possible for the care
of the whalemen who have left their ships.

SENATOR DAVIS I'XABLE TO FUR

1
Last Installment of a Three-Day
Argnment by Senator Pettigrew
Against the Annexation of Ha
waii the Feature of the Executive
Br ■■lon .
"WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.— The senate
devoted four hours, in executive ses
sion today, to the consideration of the
Hawaiian treaty. During the session
Senator White (Cal.) attempted to as
certain from Senator Davis, in charge
of the treaty, whether there would be
an early attempt to secure a vote upon
it. The California senator stated his
opinion that there ought to be at least
three weeks' notice of a time for a
vote for the arrangement of pairs. He
stated that he would be compelled to
be absent from the senate for the next
three weeks, and expressed a desire to
know something of the plans as to
bringing the discussion to an end.
In reply. Senator Davis simply stat
ed that he could not at present say
when the debate would cease or when
the senate would be prepared to take
a vote.
The principal speech was made by
Senator Pettigrew, this being the third
installment of his remarks upon the
subject.
Senator Pettigrew devoted himself
today largely to the administration of
President Dole and to a presentation
of his views of this government's par
ticipation in the revolution. He con
tended that the downfall of the queen's
government was due to a conspiracy
on the part of Minister Stevens, rep
resenting the United States, and a few
citizens of Honolulu, of whom Presi
dent Dole was one, who were backed
by the marine from a ITnited States
battleship.
International Crime.
He argued that, at that time, ther c
was no armed force on the island
opposed to the eiueen's government ex
ctpt the United States marines; "and,"
said the senator, "if the islands were
as rich as the dream of avarice and
their acquisition as desirable as that
of Louisiana, we could not take title
from a government set up there by
ourselves, without submitting the ques
tion of annexation to a vote of the
Hawaiian people."
"To do this," he continue-d, with em
phasis, "would be an international
crime which would place us on a level
with Great Britain ln her subjection of
the weaker nations of the earth, which
would be an abandonment of the posi
tion and policy of our government from
its earliest history."
A government, he said, which de
clares, as does this government in its
constitution that "all government de
rives its just powers from the consent
of the governed," could not afford to
depose a friendly government, set up
a usurping government in its place,
and then acquire title to the country
without first obtaining the consent of
the people of that country.
Mr. Pettigrew also contended that
the passage of the MeKinley tariff lan
had been the direct cause of the revo- -
lution by which the queen's govern
ment had been overthrown, the mo
tive being to secure the bounty of 2
cents per pound on domestic sugar
which that law provided.
Kuur I'ninls.
Summing up. Mr. Pettigrew said that
the opponents of annexation claim.!
to have established four points. They
had, he said, shown, first, that the
route to the Orient via the Aleutian
islands was 1,000 miles shorter than
via Honolulu; second, that a battle
ship, coaling on the Hawaiian islands,
would be an element of weakness
rather than of strength, which was In
opposition to the theory that the isl
ands were necessary to defense; third,
that the commerce of the islands!
which had been claimed to be one im
portant reason for their annexation,
was constantly declining and was less
than that of an ordinary county of
the United States; fourth, that one of
the Aleutian islands would afford a
more secure footing and be a shorter
route for a cable to Asia than would
the route via Honolulu.
At the close of his three days' speech,
Senator Pettigrew was cordially con
gratulated by many of the senators,
including some of the opposition, upon
the thoroughness with which he had
gone into the subject and the ability
with which he had presented the oppo
sition to annexation.
Following Mr. Pettigrew, Senator
Teller made a brief statement, calling
Mr. Pettigrew's attention to the fact
that the United States minister was
not the only representative of a for
eign country who had recognized the
Dole government.
Mr. Pettigrew replied that this was
true, but that the recognition of the
other governments had not come until
the day following the queen's abdi
cation, whereas Minister Stevens' rec
ognition had been betore that time.
Senator Proctor (Vt.) followed with
a brief speech in favor of annexation.
He devoted himself exclusively to the
military phase of the question.
IRON PiPE TRUST ENJOINED.
Clrenlt Conrt of \npeal h Decide* Its
Agreement a Violation of the
Sherman Act.
CINCINNATI. 0.. Feb. 14.— The
United States circuit court of appeals
for the Sixth district today decided
the cast-iron pipe trust case. Justice
Harlan and Circuit Judges Taft and
Lurton composed the court. Judge
Taft delivered the opinion. The suit
was begun in the United States circuit
court at Chatanooga by a bill in equity
filed by the attorney general of the
United States against six cast-iron
pipe companies: The Eddystone com
pany, of Cincinnati; Dennis Long &
Co., of Louisville; Chattanooga Pipe
Works, of Chattanooga; the Soutn
Pittsburg Pipe Works, of South Pitts
burg, Term.: the Anniston Pipe Works,
of Anniston. Ala., and the Howard-
Harrison company, of Bessemer, Ala.,
to enjoin them from continuing to do
business under a contract of associa
tion, which the bill charged was a vio
lation of the federal anti-trust act of
1890. The circuit court dismissed the
bill and the United States appealed.
The judgment of the circuit court of
appeals reversed the decree of the cir
cuit court, and istructed that court to
enter a decree enjoining the six de
fendants from continuing to do busi
ness under contract of association from
in any way maintaining the same.

CUBAN QUESTION PHASEB
.
TWO UIIDBR DISCISSION DIRING
THE SENATE SESSION
Infavorable Report on the Allen
Amendment. Followed by the
PaKHase of a Resolution of In
quiry jss to the StatuM on the
I«»lni>d— Kan.HH Pacific Sale.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 14.— During the
short open session of the senate today
two phases of the Cuban question
were adverted to briefly. The amend
ment of Mr. Allen (Neb.) to the diplo
matic and consular appropriation bill,
recognizing the belligerency of th.
Cuban insurgents, was reported ad
versely by the foreign relations com
mittee, not, as Mr. Morgan explained,
on the merits of the amendment, but
because the committee dick not approve
of . tacking such legislation to appro
priation bills.
Mr. Morgan's resolution, calling upon
the president for theireports of United
State consuls in Cuba and for Infor
mation as to whether a_ay agent of
the autonomous government in Cuba
had been accredited te ithis govern
ment and recognized: by _L was adopt
ed without dissent: i \i
Mr. Bete (Term.). h when the senate
assembled, presented- hi* colleague.
Mr. Turley, and the^oattiFof office was
administered. •'■ -i
Mr. Morgan (Ala.)' reported adverse
ly from the committe* 5 on! foreign rela
tions the Allen amendment to the dip
lomatic and consular appropriation
bill.
Mar. Allen then called up his resolu
tion relating to the free and unrestrict
ed coinage of standard silver dollar.
without delay and without waiting for
the consent of foreia^i nations, and
submitted some remarks upon it. Mr.
Allen reviewed at length the currency
legislation of the past and maintain-.'!
tbat silver, as the money of the con
stitution, ought to be received at the
mints on an equality with gold.
Kansas Pacific Question.
At the conclusion of Mr. Allen's re
marks, Mr. Harris (Kas.) introduced a
resolution with reference to the latest
phase of the Kansas Pacific sale. He
said, in connection with the resolution,
that the reason for its presentation at
this time was that the attorney gen
eral had Informed him less than a
week ago that he proposed to redeem
the first mortgage bonds of the Kansas
Paciflc and have a receiver appointed
for the road.
",We were surprised yesterday," said
Mr. Harris, "to learn that the attorney
general had decided to abandon his ex
pressed plan of redeeming the first
mortgage bonds of the Kansas Pacifi .
and having a receiver appointed for
the road. By this deal. If it be true
that it has been entered fnto, the gov-
ernmen'f ' would lose $6,624,107 interest
due."
The resolution, which had as a pre
amble a press dispatch from St. Louis
announcing the agreement reached by
.the government with the reorganiza
tion committee, was a general request
for information.
Mr. Chandler asked that the pream
ble be stricken out, as it was not usual
to include such matter in a resolution
of inquiry.
Mr. Chandler then objected to pres
ent consideration, and the resolution
went over until tomorrow.
Mr. Morgan, in calling up his reso
lution requesting the president to fur
nish the senate with information rela
tive to Cuba, which was adopted with
out objection, said it was his desire
simply to learn what the situation in
Cuba is at the present time.
The senate then, at 1:25, on motion of
Mr. Davis, went into executive ses
sion, and, at 5:10 p. m., adjourned.
FATAL ELEVATOR ACCIDENTS.
Three Me Killed and One .Seriously
Injured In a Single Day In
New York.
NEW YORK. Feb. 14— Three men

The men were taking ashes from the
j cellar on a freight elevator, when two
of the four chains on the elevator broke
and the men were thrown to the sub

While making an ascent his head pre
sumably came in contact with the sec
ond floor. He was thrown to the bot

had been able to return a fair profit,
owing to the lower cost of manufacture
due to cheap labor.

WASHINGTON," Feb. 14.—Consider
ate unnecessary excitement was caus
ed among the members of the house to
day by the rumor, broadly circulated
before the house convened, that impor
tant action relative to Cuba was to be
taken. It turned out to be simply a
r« solution of inquiry, unanimously re- J
ported by the foreign affairs committee !
last week, calling on the state depart
ment for information to the condition j
of the concentrados in Cuba and the
progress made ln Spain's effort to in
duce the Cubans to accept autonomy.
The resolution was adopted without
division.
Another resolution was adopted call
ing for the correspondence relating to
the exclusion of our fruits, beef and
bcrses from Germany.
The ier_ainder cf the d_y was devoted
to District of Columbia business.
Immediately after the reading of the
journal, Mr. Royce (Rep., Ind.) prts.-nt
ed the unanimous report of the commit
tee on elections in the case of Vander
bury vs. Tongue, from the Second < Mre
gon district, in favor of the sitting
member, and It was adopted without
division or debate.
Mr. Quigg (Rep , N. V). a im-mber of
the foreign affairs committee, was then
recognized. He first called up the mat
ter of German exclusion.
Mr. Quigg followed thi.. with the Cu
ban resolution. It* was the resolution
offered by Mr. Williams, slightly modi
fied.
Mr. Quigg made a brief statement,
saying that in December the president
had notified the house that the inde
fensible policy "f concentration in
Cuba had been abandoned by Spain, in
deference to the repeated reciuests of
our government, and that a more
peaceful and humane policy had been
adopted.
The object of this resolution was sim
ply" to ascertain what had been done.
arid what steps had been taken looking
to the acceptance of autonomy by the
Cuban people. In order to retain con
trol of the floor, Mr. Quigg asked fur
the previous question, but yielded five
minute, to Mr. Dinsmore (Dem., Ark.),
the senior minority member of the for
eign affairs committee, who said the
resolution had been unanimously re
ported by the committee.
Mr. Terry' ("Dem.. Ark.) asked Mr.
Quigg if the committee on foreign af
fairs had considered the De Lome inci
dent.
"That is hardly a pertinent inquiry,"
replied Mr. Quigg. blandly.
"It is a pertinent Inquiry in tht
minds of the American people," ex
claimed Mr. Terry, "and don't you for
get it."
"It is being considered by the proper
authorities," retorted Mr. Quigg.
Mr. Quigg responded that this reso
lution would put the house in complete
possesssion of the facts.
There was no effort on the part of
