LAST TWO WEEKS AND POS
SIBLY MICH LONGER
SESSIONS TO BE SECRET
Only Such Information as May Seem
Desirable Will Be Given to the
Public Plau of Procedure Not
Yet Clearly Outlined Mr. Mor
ris, of Minnesota, Is One Member
of the Committee.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., April 16.— The
committee on monetary legislation ap
pointed by the caucus of the Republican
members of the house of representatives,
shortly before the adjournment of con
gicss, will begin its sessions In this city
shortly. Gen. Henderson, of lowa, is
chairman, and the other members of the
committee are as follows: J. Dalzell,
Pennsylvania; Sereno Payne, New York;
Jesse Overstreet, Indiana; William Lover
lng, Massachusetts; Charles Curtis, Kan
sas; Page Morris, Minnesota; Eugene F.
Loud, California; R. B. Hawley, Texas;
J. W. Babcock, Wisconsin, and Kerr,
Ohio.
The committee is believed to embody the
financial thought of the Republican side
of the house. Messrs. Henderson and Dal
zell make, with Speaker Reed, a majority
of the committee on rules; Mr. Payne Is
chairman of the committee on ways and
means, and several others are represen
tative business men who are in sympathy
with the movement to put the monetary
standard beyond attack.
Hadden Hall, one of the largest hotels
on the beach front, is the headquarters
of the committee, and the meetings will
be held in one of the parlors. The gath
erings will be private and will probably
be irregular, as the work assigned to the
members partakes more of the nature of
a conference, and as the committee is not
a public one it will only give out such
news for publication as best suits Its
purpose.
It is expected that the sessions will
last not less than two weeks, and they
may extend much longer. The commit
tee may decide to perfect a bill to meet
the situation or may outline a measure,
and then adjourn to meet again later in
the year. They will have all of the im
portant bills on the currency question
that were before the last congress, In
cluding the bill of the monetary com
mission; the McCleary bill, which was re
ported favorably to the house by the
banking committee; the Hill bill, which
which was given a favorable report by the
house coinage committee; the bill pre
pared by Secretary Gage, and the bill of
Chairman Walker, of the committee on
banking, who is no longer a member of
congress.
COMPARATIVE DATA.
Mr. Overstreet, who has given the sub
ject much attention, has prepared a com
parison of the principal features of all
these bills, which will be of much value
to the committee.
There has also been secured from the
treasury department a great mass of
financial data, including the reports of
the secretaries, comptrollers of the cur
rency, and directors of the mint. In ad
dition the committee 'will have at Its
command a complete codification of the
existing currency laws.
Only two or three of the members are
here tonight, but It Is expected that all
will arrive by tomorrow night, with the
exception of the California member, Mr.
Loud, who will defer making the trip
East until the work of the committee is
well advanced. It Is expected that many
distinguished financiers will be given the
opportunity to appear before the commit
tee and present their views on the sub
ject of the expansion of the currency,
the establishment of the gold standard
and other matters to be considered.
H. H. Hanna, chairman of the execu
tive committee of the Indianapolis mone
tary convention, will be here during the
sessions to urge the bill of the monetary
commission. This bill was framed by a
commission of which ex-Senator George
F. Edmunds was chairman, and which
included ex-Secretary Fairchild, of New
York; C. Stuart Patterson, of Philadel
phia; John W. Fries, of North Carolina,
and other financial experts.
Mr. Hanna was directed at a recent
meeting of the Indianapolis executive com
mittee to urge the adoption of the entire
programme of the monetary commission,
but If this does not appear possible, to
accept modifications not inconsistent with
the principles of the bill.
EXPORTS OF IRON
"Win Show a Gain for the Year of
Fifteen Million Dollars.
WASHINGTON, April 17.— The bureau
of statistics says that the exportation of
maxvut K-ures in the fiscal year 1899 Is
likely to show an increase of more than
$30,000,000 over that of last year, and that
Iron and steel alone will supply more
than one-half that Increase. In Importa
tions of iron and steel there is a reduc
tion as compared with last year, though
not in so marked a degree, the falling off

MR. KLINE DENIES.
Attain Says No Attempt Was Made
to Bribe Mr. Monnett.
CLEVELAND, 0., April 16.— Virgil P.
Kline, one of the counsel for the Stand
ard Oil company, said today concerning
the statements of Attorney General Mon
nett, filed with the supreme court yestei
day:
"Mr. Monnett is simply trying to kick
up a dust to cover his retreat. Four
weeks ago Mr. Elliott and I, in a letter,
which was handed to the attorney gen
eral, demanded that he give the name of
the man who he flippantly had said had
made him an offer of 14M.000. After this
lapse of time he files a rambling state
ment calling it an information In con
tempt and in which he pretends he re
quires some order or process of the court
to assist him in complying with our re
quest. The fact is that he knew when he
originally put the statement out that it
was false and he knew perfectly well,
whoever hia friend was and whatever
may have transpired between them, that
he was not being offered a bribe, and that
his friend had no authority to speak for
the Standard Oil company."
TRACT SOCIETY.
"Work for the Year Reviewed at the
Annual Meeting-.
WASHINGTON, April 16.— The Wash
ington annual meeting of the American
Tract society was held this s^ening in
the .First Congregational church, Rev. S.
M. Newman, D. D., pastor, presiding.
Rev. Judson Swift, field secretary at New
York, presented a report of the society's
work. Gen. Morgan, ex-commissioner of
Indian affairs, and corresponding secre
tary of the Baptist Home Missionary so
ciety at New York, delivered an address.
The field secretary's report called at
tention to the fact that the principal work
of TTTe society was to carry the gospel to
Christless millions, stating that fully one
half of our population, apparently, was
indifferent to and absented themselves
from the churches, and this accounted
for the multiplied number of Sabbath di
versions. He stated the receipts for the
late year amounted to about 11,008,800.
The .society during the late war distrib
uted over 7,500,000 pages of Christian lit
erature in the army and navy, sending
over 260,000 pages to the Philippine islands,
and is now publishing extensively in the
Spanish language for the missionary
wosK in the newly acquired islands.

MINISTER DECLINES PAY.
Christian Church Pastor Dismissed
for His Unorthodox Views.
NEW ALBANY, lnd., April 16.— Elder
J. L. Parsons, pastor of Central Christian
church, In this city, has been summarily
dismissed by the official board for the al
leged reason that he is not orthodox in
his teachings and his views of the church
government. Mr. Parsons is said to be
opposed to a church board of deacons,
and he does not believe in a minister re
ceiving a stated salary. He declined to
receive only what remained after the oth
er expenses of the church had been paid,
and made things so unpleasant for the
deacons that they resigned. He has been
a minister in the Christian church for
forty years, and has preached in a num
ber of churches In Indiana and Kentucky.

MONDAY MORNING, APRIL, 17, 1899.
CZAR IS INVOLVED
NEW LIGHT THROWN UPON THE
MYSTERY IN THE DREY
FUS CASE
REPORT CAME FROM RUSSIA
CAPTAIN CONDEMNED UPON THE
WORD OF THE DIPLOMAT FROM
ST. PETERSBURG
PUBLIC SENTIMENT CHANGING
The Populace Not Yet Willing to
Admit the Innocence of Dreyfus,
but Convinced of the Unworthy
Character of the General Staff
State Reasons* Prevent the Pub
lishing: of the Secret Testimony.
PARIS, April 16.— Gradually the public
attitude toward the Dreyfus affair ia
changing under the influence of the con
tinued revelations of the Figaro. The
anti-revisionists are becoming less blat
ant and are beginning to realize that their
cause is lost.
They are far from admitting the pos
sibility that Dreyfus is innocent, but they
venture to confess, in the light of over
whelming evidence, that the integrity
and capacity of the general staff as con
stituted in 1894 was perhaps fallible. They
even suggest that there might have been
other traitors besides the one sent to
the Isle dv Dlable.
Still another novel and Interesting ex
planation as to why the French authori
ties Inflexibly oppose a reopening of the
case is how put forward. It is to this
effect:
Dreyfus was originally denounced to the
French government by the Russian am
bassador, who declared that he had been
furnishing information to Germany.
This declaration, which the authorities
accepted without corroboration, was the
secret evidence submitted to the court
martial. It was impossible to disclose It
for several reasons.
1. It was by no means conclusive, even
presumptively, as the government now
recognizes, of the prisoner's guilt.
2. Assuming that the Russian ambas
sador spoke the truth, the disclosure of
his action would put Russia in a position
of betraying Germany.
3. If the Russian ambassador falsified,
then it was clear he resorted to a despi
cable trick to prevent the rapprochement
between France and Germany which
had begun to be mooted.
4. Whatever truth there was in the
exposure of Russian action, when no al
liance existed with France, the czar
would never tolerate the humiliation.
This story is pertinent in many ways,
but the only question now is the time
when the mystery will be definitely
cleared.
PICQUART' S STATEMENT.
The Figaro, continuing today its pub
lication of testimony offered before the
court of cassation in the Dreyfus revi
sion proceedings, prints some fourteen
columns of matter. A great partis de
voted to Col. Picquart's statement.
He_ said the document bearing the
phrase canaille de D— was in no way ap
plicable to Dreyfus on account of credi
ble explanations given of the manner
in which it was acquired. CoX Picquart
said he believed it impossible that the
documents constituting the secret dossier
could refer to Dreyfus. He asserted that
on the close of the conversation he had
with Gen. Gonse the latter exclaimed,
"Then it seems we are mistaken," and
told Picquart to convey to Gen. Bolsdef-
fre, chief of general staff at that time,
his (Gonse's) advice that the two matters
ought to be kept in distinction.
Dealing with the irregular manner in
which the bordereau was obtained, Col.
Picquart recounted a conversation in
which Col. Paty dv Clam told him that
Dreyfus in denying the authorship of the
bordereau said its writing resembled that
of his friend, Capt. Brault. In this con
nection Col. Picquart noted a story told
by Commandant Esterhazy at his trial to
the effect that a certain Capt. Brault had
asked for a specimen of Esterhazy's
handwriting.
Col. Paty dv Clam had also informed
Col. Picquart how he had attached the
"canaille de D— " document found In the
intelligence bureau to the bordereau. Col.
Picquart then referred to the protesta
tions made by Dreyfus of his innocence
and said the confessions to Capt. Le
Brun Renaud were never verified, and
were there to be regarded as baseless
rumors. While at the Intelligence bureau
Gen. Boisdeffre told him the Dreyfus
affair had only begun, and asked him to
investigate it.
NEW SPANISH MINISTER.
The Appointment of the Duke de Ar
cos Is Officially Gazetted.
MADRID, April 16.— The Official Ga
zette today contains a royal decree ap
pointing the Duke de Arcos to be Spanish
envoy extraordinary and minister pleni
potentiary to the United States. The de

and Clenfuegos.
Senor Lareca, now Spanish consul at
Antwerp, is transferred to Havana;
Senor Bouilta, now at Shanghai, is ap
pointed to Manila, and Senor LMarte goes
to Antwerp.
Gen. Rios, Spain's principal commander
in tji.e Philippines, cables that Maj. Gen.
Otis has granted him a safe conduct for
his chief of staff and another officer whom
he is sending to Agulnaldo with a letter
demanding the liberation of the Spanish
prisoners in the name of humanity and
international law. In the event of a re
fusal the commissioners will ask Aguln
aldo for a definite decision, In order that
they_ may acquaint the civilized world
with his attitude. Gen. Rios has em
powered them to offer to surrender to
Aguinaldo 1,000 Filipino prisoners, who
have been placed at the Spanish com
mander's disposal by Gen. Otis.
The elections to the new cortes passed
off (juletly in Madrid. Some disturbances
occurred at Bilbao,- and many persons
1 were Injured at Valencia and at Cultar
de Basa, in Andalusia. At Granda an elec
tion agent was murdered.

STARTLING STATEMENT.
Charge That Ensign Bagley Was
Killed by American Guns.
NEW YORK, April 16.— "The shot that
killed the men on the Winslow and the
one that Injured the forward boiler and
the starboard engine came from the Unit
ed States steamship Wilmington."
Such is the startling statement made by
Lieut. Hutchinson Scott, who was first
lieutenant of the Hudson when that ves
sel dragged the crippled Winslow out of
the fight at Cardenas on May 11. Nearly
every participant in the battle has told
his experience and observations, but nev
er before has there been the merest hint
that Bagley and his shell-stricken com
rades met death through any other agen
cy than a Spanish projectile. The state
ment was brought out by the publication
of Lieut. Bernadou's article In the March
number of the Century Magazine. »
Now, while Lieut. Scott plainly says
that "the shot that killed the men on the
Winslow and the one that Injured the
forward boiler and the. starboard engine
came from the United States steamer
Wilmington," neither he nor any one
else would ever dream of saying that the
shots were fired with the intent of hit
ting the torpedo boat, j They were stray
shots only or ill-directed ones. And
knowing the general efficiency of our
gunners, here again is a hard hill of belief
to climb.
Lieut. Bernadou makes this statement:
"No shells flew near the Winslow at any
time in the fight except -those fired by
the Spaniards.
"We were never close to the Wilming
ton or between her and the enemy. Af
ter the killing of poor Bagley we ap
proached to within two or three hundred
yards of her."

per cent of the price paid for them in

SURPRISE IN STORE.
Missing Witness in the Saxton Case
Reported at Hand.
CANTON, 0., April 16.— 1t is now the
expectation of the state that the direct
testimony against Mrs. George will be
concluded by the time court adjourns to

no substantiation is - obtainable.
The defense will occupy more than a
week in submitting its testimony. May
or Rice, it is definitely announced, will
go on the stand as a privileged witness
on behalf of Mrs. George, to answer cer
tain questions with, -'which his name has
has been associated; The attorneys .fqr
the defense say Mrs. .George", may go on

MANILA, April 17.— Maj. Gen. Law
ton's expedition to the Laguna de Bay
district re-embarked last evening, anchor
ed for the night at the head of the River
Pasig, and reached Manila this morn
ing, bringing all the men and the cap
tured Insurgent boats. Its objects, name
ly, the capture of the Insurgents' boats
and the distribution of the proclamation,
which is expected to be a lesson of Ameri
can power throughout the lake region,
have been attained.
Gen. Lawton immediately began prep
arations for an important expedition on
land. There has been no fighting on the
lake for three days.
NEW STORM CENTER.
During the absence of Maj. Gen. Law
ton's expedition to the Santa Cruz dis
trict, on Laguna de Bay, the Insurgents
have been concentrating at the northern
end of the lake, near Pasig, and the
American scouts report that several thou
sand are already there. Gen. Lawton' s
expedition is now on its way back.
Two hundred and fifty Chinamen from
Santa Cruz have arrived here. They left
the town owing to their fear that the
rebels on re-entering it would wreak ven
geance upon them for favoring the
Americans.
Everything is quiet at Malolos, but the
telegraph lines are down, and the trans
mission of news from there is slow.
The Twelfth Infantry and the battalion
of the Seventeenth infantry, which ar
rived on board the transport Sheridan,
were disembarked and encamped on the
Luneta. They report having . been cor
dially received and entertained at the
British stations at which they stopped on
their voyage.
GEN. OTIS CHEERFUL.
Gen. Otis regards the situation hero
cheerfully, and feels that with the work
already done and that which he expects
certainly to accomplish, the rebels will
eventually be subdued forever. He said:
"The insurgents are moving eastward,
and will soon be in the mountains. There
they will become merely bands of robbers
and will fight among themselves.
"They have no united army anywhere,
yet they will be troublesome, and we
need a strong force to deal with the rob
ber groups.
"We shall not stop our operations be
cause of the rainy season. The rebels are
counting upon a cessation of hostilities
on our part, but we Intend to keep right
on. We shall wedge the army between
them . and the north, as well as cutting
the island in two here by our forces.
"I appreciate the fact I am being criti
cised, but I do not care what the news
papers say of me. I am working eighteen
hours out of every twenty-four, and every
officer and soldier is doing his duty.
"So long as we keep the volunteer
forces fighting they are content to remain
here. They enjoy the situation while
there Is action.
"The problem the government is now
facing is that of destroying the powerful
bands of robbers that are scattered In all
directions.
INSURGENTS SMASHED.
"We have smashed the insurgent gov
ernment, but I believe that It will be a
long time before we pacify the whole of
Luzon."
Gen. Otis said that he could not dis
cuss his plans in detail, but It Is known
that a large force will soon go by sea
and disembark north of Aguinaldo's
forces. Then Agulnaldo will be between
the two lines and will find himself in a
most unpleasant and dangerous position.

MUTINY AT THE PRESIDIO
EIGHT HUNDRED SOLDIERS OP
THE UNITED STATES ARE
UNDER ARREST
Recruits Burned a Saloon in Which
One of Their Number Had Been
So Badly Beaten That He May Die
Prisoners Guarded.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 16.— Tonight
eight hundred United States soldiers are
under arrest on the Presidio reservation.
They are encamped on the open and are
guarded by cavalry and the Twenty
force being In charge of adjt. Lieut Har
fourth infantry regulars, colored, the
offense of the men was the burning down
of a saloon just outside the reservation
lines, in which Private Charles L. King,
Company G, Twenty-third infantry, was
so brutally beaten last night that he is
not expected to live.
Private Parke, of Company F, also of
the Twenty-third regiment, is in the
guard house, charged with the assault,
but the soldiers assert that the saloon
people are responsible, and claim that
the proprietor, Al Rheifield, was the chief
assailant of the injured man.
A report being circulated today that
King was dead and the place was set
on fire tonight and destroyed as an act
of retribution.
The trouble began last night when sev
eral recruits went to the saloon, which is
known as the Presidio Club cafe. There
were several women In the place and a
row started over one of them, in which
all the men present participated. When
<juiet was restored it was found Private
King had been seriously injured about
the head, his skull being fractured and
his features badly battered. He was tak
en to the Presidion reservation and his
supposed assailant, Private Ciark, placed
in the guard house.
Early this morning some one started
the story among the troops that King
was dead. Despite the denials of the of
ficers the report spread, and by night
fall the men had become wildly excited.
Soon after dark nearly 1,000 proceeded to
the saloon where the row had started,
and after wrecking its interior set Are to
it in several places, no one daring to
interfere. The men organized a bucket
brigade and prevented the adjoining
building from catching Are. During the
progress of the Are the soldiers are said
to have discharged many shots into the
air, and have indulged in much hilarity.
The men were placed under arrest as
soon as they returned to Presidio by Col.
Freeman, of the Twenty-fourth United
States Infantry, commandant of th;e post.
All the men implicated in the affair are
white. The colored troops, none of whom
took part, were placed over them as a
guard, the cavalry lending its assistance.
There being no guard house of sufficient
capacity the prisoners were rounded up
on the outside. The men were nearly all
to sail for Manila in a few days on the
outgoing fleet of transports.

TALK OF CORRUPTION.
Charges Made Against Some Bepuh
lican Officeholders at Winona.
WINONA, Minn., April 16.— (Special.)—
Sensational developments are expected to
take place upon the reorganization of the
city council which occurs tomorrow night.
By the recent election the political com
plexion of the council was made Dem
ocratic, and It Is now alleged that some
of the Republican officeholders have
made pecuniary advances to the newly
elected Democratic alderman in order to
retain their Jobs. One alderman, it is
claimed, was offered $200 by an officehold
er, and it Is understood that he will make
an exposure. All the subordinate officers
are appointed by the council, and the
aldermen have been besieged with ap
plications. For some places as much as
forty-flve applications are on Ale. This
had led the Republican incumbents to
figure on a squabble, and they are mak
ing a hard Aght for existence.

NEW YORK, April 16.— The celebration
attending the return of the United States
cruiser Raleigh from Manila, which had
to be postponed yesterday owing to the
warship's late arrival, occurred today.
The Releigh, accompanied by two small
vessels captured from the Spaniards last
summer and a fleet of about twenty-five
excursion steamers and tug boats, parad
ed from Tompkinsville to Grant's tomb, •
and from there back to anchorage in the
North river, off Thirty-fourth street.
The cruiser left her anchorage off
Tompkinsville shortly before noon. An
hour before that time a drizzling rain
commenced to fall, and this soon turned
into a steady downpour, which continued
the remainder of the day. The air was
raw and the officers and men of the
Raleigh stood upon the decks three hours
drenched to the skin and shivering with
the cold.
There were very few people along the
river front in the lower part of the
city, but great crowds assembled in River
side park overlooking the Hudson, and
men, women and children stood there for
hours. By far the greatest gathering of
people was in the vicinity of Grant's
tomb, which was the turning point of
the parade. A national salute was fired
there by the Raleigh, and also by the
captured Spanish prizes, and the scene
was made a memorable one by the shriek
ing of a hundred steam whistles from
excursion boats and other steamers, and
cheers from people on shore and the
vessels in the river.
Mrs. Coghlan, the wife of the command
er of the cruiser, arrived at Tompkins
ville between 9 and 10 o'clock, where she
took a small boat and went out to the
Raleigh and welcomed her husband.
SPICK AND SPAN.
Capt. Coghlan was apprised early of the
intentions of the citizens' reception com
mittee to visit the Raleigh and accom
pany her on the parade. He had his crew
give her hull a fresh coat of paint during
the time bet-ween daybreak and the hour
set for the arrival of the committee, and
all the officers prepared for the occasion
by putting on full dress. The two cap
tured Spanish gunboats, the Alvarado and
Sandoval, arrived from the navy yard
early, both dressed gaily with flags and
bunting, and they created almost as much
enthusiasm as the .Raleigh herself.
About 11 o'clock the large steamer
Glen Island arrived, carrying the citizens'
reception committee, headed by Mayor
Van Wyck, and also having on board
a number of invited guests. A delega
tion from the committee, numbering not
more than a score, went aboard the
Raleigh. All hands on the cruiser were
called to quarters, and Mayor Van Wyck
and the other committee men were re
ceived with naval formality.
Capt. Coghlan stood at the gangway
and received the visitors and escorted
them immediately to his cabin. The cer
emonies there were very brief, consum
ing not more than five minutes. The may
or, In a few words, welcomed the Raleigh
to New York, and extended the freedom
of the city to the officers and men.
Capt. Coghlan replied briefly. After
the formalities of the welcome were over
the committee returned to the Glen Isl
and, and as Mayor Van Wyck left the
side of the Raleigh he received a salute
of fifteen guns.
SHIP UNDER WAY.
Preparations were made then to get
under way for the parade. The Glen
Island led the procession of vessels and
the Raleigh followed just astern of her.
The Alavaro and Sandoval took position
off either bow of the cruiser and police
boats, tugs and excursion boats followed
in a double column. At Governor's isl
and a national salute was fired. About
this point the coast survey steamer Path
finder, with Assistant Secretary 'of the
Navy Allen on board. Joined the proces
sion, following just in the wake of the
Raleigh.
From the time the Raleigh left tha
battery until she reached Grant's tomb
her whistle and fog siren were blowing
j almost continuously in response to sa-
I lutes from vessels in their docks, or mov-
I ing up and down the river. Capt Cogh
j lan was on the bridge nearly all the way
I up the river with the executive and nav
j lgating officers.
Arriving at Grant's tomb, two six-
I pounders on the Raleigh commenced
their salute of twenty-one guns. The
last shot had hardly died away when
the Alvarado and Sandoval opened with
their national salute, and a battery on
shore joined in the tribute to Gen. Grant.
When the salutes were concluded the
Raleigh turned slowly and headed down
the river, finally anchoring off Thlrty
fuurth street. She was surrounded im
mediately by a fleet of excursion boats,
and as fast as they could reach her gang
way the people aboard them climbed on
the cruiser, and extended personal wel
come to the officers and men.
CROP DAMAGE DENIED.
Injury In Nehraska Not So Serious
as Was Reported.
OMAHA, Neb., April 16.— Reports from
