GEN. DODGE PRESIDES.
Greenville M. Dodge, president of the
army of the Tennessee, who is the only
living general represented in the group
on the bronze pedestal showing Gen. Lo
gan in council of war with his command
ing officers, presided over the ceremonies.
He paid a high personal tribute to the
dead chieftain and after the invocation
had been offered by Rev. Frank Bristol,
introduced the sculptor, Mr. Simmons, to
the assemblage. The statue was then un
veiled amid great applause and the
Fourth artillery band rendered "Colum
bia. Gem of the Ocean."
At the moment of the unveiling a sec
tion of the Fourth artillery fired a na
tional salute on the White lot, south of
the executive mansion. President Mc-
Kinley received an ovation as he was in
troduced, and it was some time before he
could begin his remarks. The president
several times was interrupted by ap
plause and there was a great outburst or
rheering when he concluded.
The oration of the day was delivered
by Senator Depew of New York, and at
the conclusion of Senator Depew's re
marks. Senator Cullom, of Illinois, read a
letter from Gov. Yates of Illinois, express
ing his regret at his inability to attend
and pay tribute to the love and affection
in which the memory of Logan was held
in his native state. Rev. J. G Butler, of
this city, pronounced the benediction and
the assetnblage then dispersed. The
statue of Gen. Logan has been turned
over to the people of the United States
and now has become one of the great
monuments of the national capital.
THE STATUE.
The equestrian statue of Logan un
.veiled today represented seven years or
labor on the part of Franklin Simmons,
the sculptor, and marks a departure In
sculpture in Washington in that it rests
upon a pedestal of bronze. Congress ap
propriated $50,000 for the statute and $50,
--000 was contributed by the Grand Army
of the Republic. The pedestal is twenty
feet high. On its west face is a group
representing Gen. Logan in consultation
•with the leading officers of the Army of
the Tennessee. This group consists of por
trait bronzes of Gens. Dodge, Hazen, Slo
cum, Leggett, Mower, Blair and Capt.
Strong. On the east face of the pedestal
is a group representing Gen. Logan tak
ing the oath as United States senator
■which is being administered by Vice
President Arthur. In this group are por
trait bronzes of Senator Cullom, Evarts,
Conkling, Morton, Miller, Voorhees and
Thurman. The south front of the pedes
tal is embellished with an allegorical fig
ure of war and the north wifh another of
peace. The equestrian statue rises above
the pedestal fourteen and a half feet.
Gen. Logan, facing south, is represent
ed as riding along a line of battle high
horse moving forward at a gentle trot,
his hat on and sword drawn. The statue
produces an impression of dignity beau
ty ,and power. Humbert, late "king of
It 7y, after a private view of the monu
r/nt, knighted Mr. Simmons.

CRIPPLE CREEK. Colo., April 9.-The
family of James Smith, consisting of the
father and mother and four children,
•were instantly killed in their home to
night by the sliding of the huge dump
of the Granite mine. The Smith resi
dence was located just below the base
of the dump. The recent snows had

NO AGREEMENT H.AS BEEN REACH
ED IN THE INDIANA BLOCK
COAL DISTRICT
STICK ON PRICE OF POWDER
OPERATORS REFUSE TO GIVE IN,
AND MINERS ARE EQLALX.Y
STUBBORN
.NATIONAL OFFICERS ANXIOUS
Fear That the Disagreement in the
Brazil Mines Means the Begin
ning of a Long and Cost
ly Tie-Up.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 9.—The national
executive committee of the United Mine
Workers continued its work all day.
According to a statement given out at
national headquarters the condition of
affairs in the block coal fields of Indiana
is extremely critical and all the mines
are closed.
The powder question is still the cause
of all the trouble, and it is said that the
miners are unanimous in their attitude.
The clause in the agreement between the
miners and the operators recently made
concerning the price of powder has prac
tically precipitated a strike at Linton. A
strike which violates any articles ol>an
agreement will not receive the support
of the national organization, and a stiike
among the block coal men may encjur
age the bituminous coal miners, who
have already evinced a tendency to evade
certain regulations contained in the
agreement reached at Terre Haute.
■WITH ANXIOUS EYES.
The situation in Indiana is attracting
the attention of the national officers as
sembled here, and they await the out
come with anxiety. President Van Horn
of the bituminous miners' organization,
was expected to make a report on the
conditions of the bituminous fields this
afternoon, but failed to arrive. The offi
cers of • the Block Miners' association
were in consultation with the operators
tat Brazil this afternoon. Clay county
' contains nearly all the block mines in
the state and the miners number neaily
3,000 members.
The national committee tonight wired
the committee of miners at Brazil that
it could not advise them to sign contracts
unless the powder question was eliminat
ed. This telegram was read at a joint
meeting of miners and operators at Bra
zil and caused an adjournment.
The operators refuse to recede. A
strike is now on and a long lockout is
predicted.
Miners say they agreed to accept last
year's scale as provided for by the Co
lumbus agreement, which the operators
refuse to concede, while the operators
contend that the miners are on a strike
by refusing to accept the scale as agreed
upon in District 11.
POMP AND CEREMONY.

MECKLENBURG-SCHWERIN.
SCHWERIN, April 9.—The grand

guardian during his minority, and by a
number of princely guests. The principal
officials of the grand duchy were also

day of the British special mission to an
nounce the death of Queen Victoria and
the accession of Edward VII., Emperor

with each member of the embassy and
then conveyed them into an adjacent
room md presented them to the empress.
The members of the mission arc the
errperor's guerts while here. The cere
mony of conducting the mission to the
palace was imposing. The emperor sent
them three elaborately ornamented court
carriages, with gorgeously liveried coach
men and lackeys. The military detach
ment escorting the mission was from
the regiment of which the late Queen
Victoria was honorary colonel. The po
lice were much in evidence and kept

BRITISH FORCE HAS
TAKEN PIETERSBURG
REGARDED AS AX IMPORTANT CAP
]? -: TURE-BOEHS ALSO TAKE
... SOME PRISONERS.
* LONDON, April 9—Lord Kitchenor, re
porting to the war office under date of
Pretoria, April 8, says:
"Plumer has occupied Pietersburg with
slight opposition. He captured two loco
motives and thirty-nine trucks. He took
sixty prisoners, capturing a seven-pound
er and destroying 210,000 cartridges, 1,000
rounds of seven-pounder ammunition. and
a considerable amount of powder and
dynamite." ,
•The capture of Pietersburg is regarded
here -as important. The place is the
terminus of the railroad and has been the
capital of the Boer government since
the evacuation of Pretoria. The whole
northern railway is now in the hands of
the British.
According to Lord Kitchener's dispatch,
only one officer and one man were killed.
The Boers evacuated the ; town during
the night prior to Plumer's arrival, after
blowing up two trucks laden with am
munition. Lord Kitchener further re
ports the capture of sixteen prisoners,
fifty horses and the depot of war stores
at Boshmanskop, Orange river colony. .
As an offset 'the commander-in-chief
reports that a dotatchment of a hundred
men of the Fifth lancers and imperial
yeonjoriary were attacked by 400 Boers
to the northward of Aberdeen, Cape
Colony, rind that after several hours'
fighting the British were surrounded and'
captured, with the exception of twenty
five who succeeded in making their
escape..
NEW YORK, April 9—Dispatches from
Holland, says the Tribune's . London
correspondent, revive the rumor that
President Kruger is bent upon visiting
the United States during the summer.
Private information from the Hague
leads to the belief that his physician is
strongly opposed tc any course of
action which will subject him to excite
ment. Mr. Kruger's general health is
fair, but he has weak heart action, and
has been warned that he must live quiet
ly. The talk about his American journey (
comes from Boer sympathizers in Hol
land, who are unwilling to admit that he
hrts exhausted the resources of diplomacy
and has nothing in reserve.
AGUINALDO SIGNS
PEACE MANIFESTO
NOT OFFICIALLY CONFIRMED, BUT
IS BELIEVED TO BE TRUE
MORE SURRENDERS.
MANILA, April 9, 3:05 p. m.—Though
the officials are uncommunicative, it is
nevertheless said that Aguinaldo signed
the peace manifesto this morning. Chief
Justice Arellano drafted the document.
Aguinaldo strongly objected to two
clauses of the manifesto and considerable
argument was required to overcome hia
objections.
Col. Aba, the insurgent leader of Zam
bales province, with tnirteen officers,
thirty-three men and ninety-two rifles
surrendered to Lieut. Col. Mancll C
Goodrill, commanding th.3 marines sta
trolled at Olongapo on Subig bay. . Gen.
Malvar, with about 300 men and as many
rifles is expected to surrender snortly at
Silang in Cavite province.

WILLEMSTAD, Island of Curacao,
April 9.—Mr. Francis B. Loom is, the
United States minister to Venezuela,
sailed from La Cuayra Monday on the
United States auxiliary cruiser Scorpicn,

the capital, the railway station was

best class of residents, showing the es
teem in which Mr. Loomis was held.
The whole diplomatic corps also assem
bled at the station and expressed s> m
pahty with Mr. Loomis Many Porto
Ricans, whom Mr. Loomis had saved
from military service, were at the sta
tion. They presented him with an ad
dress. The private car in which Mr.
Loomis traveled was filled with flowers.

CENTRAL OF NEW JERSEY EM
PLOYES LIKELY TO GO OIT.
WILKESBARRE, Pa., April 9.—The
employes of this division of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, it is said, have
voted almost unanimously in favor of a
strike, providing that Vice President
Warren of the road still persists in re
fusing the brotherhood officials a confer
ence. It is believed here, however, that
Vice President Warren will ask the grand
officers and various brotherhood officials
to return to New York and discuss the
conditions. The vote of the men was
completed today.
A strike in this region on the Jersey
Central railroad would force about 12.W0
miners to quit work.

British demonstration like that of Sat

the mission, a number of persons crowd

shouted ''Down with England," "Victory
for the Boers." which caused four or
five arrests to be made It was the first
time in the history of Prussia that such
an honor as being escorted to the palace
in royal carriages was paid to an am
bassador. A band of music, stationed hi
the court yard of the castle, played "God
Save the King," as the mission enteied.
His majesty received the mission with
great ceremony. Aftfer the Duke of Aber

on foreign soil lias been completed at
Pichalinqul, on the west coast of Mexico,
and the collier Alexander is now taking

stock this latest acquisition of the navy.
The station is on California bay, at the
extreme end of the long peninsula
which juts down from California, and is
known as Lower California, although
It is an integral part of Mexico. Admiral
Bradford, chief of the naval bureau of
equipment, has long been seeking to
develop this poini for the use of the
navy. A footing was secured there
many years ago through the assent or
the local authorities, but it was desired
that the Mexican government should
give its full authorization to the work
contemplated by the United States.
Through the state department, extended
negotiations were carries on with Mexico,
resulting finally ir. complete authorization
for the projected station. The work has
been in progress for Home time, about
$25,000 having been expended in coal ware
houses, warehouses and slips, and facil
ities for loading coal onto ships of war.
The capacity of the station is 5,000 tons
of coal. A Mexican custom official will
inspect the ships before they enter the
station. • * -

Lawyers Mixed Up in Patrick Case
Charge Sharp Practice Against
Each Other
PROSECUTOR GETS AFTER HOUSE
Osborne Also Tells Moore He Doesn't
' Care for Up-the-State Rules
of Practice.
NEW YORK, April 9.—A feature of the
examination of Valet Jones in the day s
session of the hearing concerning the
death of William Marsh Rice, the Texas
millionaire, was a line of question which
led to a heated scene at the noon recess
between Attorney Mc^ore, who represents
Lawyer Albert T. Patrick, and Assistant
District Attorney Osborne. The cause
of the dispute was Mr. Osborae bringing
out certain testimony against Patrick.
Frederick House- is one of Patricks
lawyers. Previous to Jones turning
state's evidence Mr. House represented
the valet also. By a ruling of the court
Mr. Osborne was allowed to ask the wit
ness what he and Patrick had told their
lawyer at the first interview in the
Tombs. Jpnes replied that it was a com
plete confession of murder, differing not
at all from his story at the hearin?.
During all the long cross-examination of
Jones, which ended only an hour before
recess. Mr. Moore made it apparent that
Ms sledge hammer questions were all
directed at tme point. He sought to
chow that Jones' story was concocted
at the instigation of some of the men
interested in disapproving the second
Rice will. He laid special stress on
Jones' conversation with Capt. Baker,
executor of the first will. The cross
examination was full of insinuations and
recriminations against Jones, Mr. Os
borne and Mr. Battle, the latter Jones'
special counsel.
When at last Mr. Moore said: "We are
through with the witness," Mr. Osborne,
en rebuttal, leaned back in his chair and
asked quietly:
LIKE A THUNDERBOLT.
'•Jones, to whom did you first tell the
story of your having chloroformed Mr.
Rice? I mean the same story you told
here?"
"To Mr. House," was the reply.
The question apparently was a sur
piise. Mr. House flushed and looked hard
at the table. Patrick tugged at his beard
and Mr. Moor.c sprang to his feet.
"We object to that question," he shout
ed. "We have some rights in this case.
Anything the witness said to his coun
sel involves the prisoner. Jt is a profes
sional confidence which must not be re
vealed."
But Justice Jerome said: "Objection
overruled," and Jones then detailed at
length his first interview with Mr. House
in the Tombs' counsel room. On Pat
rick's advice he had told the truth, he
said.
"I told Mr. House that I murdered Mr.
Rice," said Jones. "I told him that I
gave him mercury pills, where I got the
chloroform and all about it."
"Did you tell him about the oxalic
acid?" was asketi.
"Yes. 1
"And what did Mr. House say?"
"He told Patrick that it would not do
for him to put all the blame on me;
that he was as much in it as I was."
Mr. Osborne brought out the fact that
the talk with Mr. House occurred several
days before the district attorney had the
faintest idea that the prisoner would
make a confession.
"What did Patrick say to Mr. House?"
Mr. Osborne asked.
"Why, he explained that he had put
Mr. Rice out of the way because the
drafts were coming due from Texas,"
said Jones.
Court then adjourned until" 2 o'clock.
LAWYERS IN A SQUABBLE.
A few minutes later Justice Jerome went
out and the court room was cleared of
everyone but lawyers and reporters. Mr.
Osborne arose from his side of the table
and started for the door. Mr. Moore met
him at a corner of the table.
"Mr. Osborne," he began in a quiet
voice, "I want to tell you that your con
duct in making Jones tell about his con
versation with Mr. House, was unprofes
sional. It was not right."
The district attorney's face was crim
son in a minute.
"I only did it," he said, "because of
your insinuations that we concocted
Jones' story. You have cast reflections
upon Capt. Baker. He is m y friend, i
guard his reputation as zealously as I do
my own."
At the mention of his name, Capt. Ba
ker stepped forward and stood at Mr.
Osborne's elbow.
"You have not strengthened your case
any," continued Mr. Moore. "You have
only put Mr. House in a ho;e. I tell you
it was not fair."
"I don't give a d for the wav you do
things up the state," shouted Mr. Os-

recent arrival in the city. "You attend
to your own side of the case. If you had
a professional sense of honor you would
not interfere with me in trying the ca-e
at court."
Assistant District Attorney Garvio
then stepped between the two men. Am •
a running fire of accusations and recrim
inations Mr. Osborne went back to his
office.
Mr. Moore followed him as far as the
hall.
Testimony at the afternoon session was
produced by Mr. Osborne corroborating
many details of Jones' confession.
At tonight's session of the Patrick ease.
John H. Wallace, paying teller of the
Swenson bank, was shown the Patrick
will of July 30. 3900, the general assign
ments of the Rice property to Patrick,
the letter in which Mr. Rice is alleged to
have given orders for the cremation or
his body and a certified check for $25,000
which Patrick gave to Potts, the day
after Mr. Rice's death, and in each In
stance he declared that the signatures of
"W. M. Rice" attached to them wero
forgeries. On cross-examination the wit
ness declared he had seen the "Patrick
will" one day last week in the district
atorney's office. He had compared th<*
signature on it with deeds in the district
attorney's office bearing the genuine sig
nature and this had convinced him that
the Patrick will was forged.
Walter L. Wetherbee, a clerk in the
Swenson bank, was the next witness.
Wetherbee was one of the witnesses to
the will of 180 G. According to testimony
given at this hearing by Valet Jones,
Patrick urged Jones to try and get Weth
erbee to witness a will which he contem
plated forging before he dMV the so
called Patrick will. According to Jones,
Wetherbee refused to be a party to the
contemplated fraud, but was neverthe
less made a beneficiary to the Patrick
will as an Inducement for him to keep
silent the fact that he had been ap
proached in the will matter. The witness
said he had known Valet Jpnes for two
or three years, and then in face of ob
jections from Attorney Moore, who was
overruled by the court, related a conver
sation ivnich took place between Jones'
and himself (Wetherbee) at the latter's
home in January, ISOO. Wetherbee said:"
"ALL ARE FORGERIES."
"Jones said a Texas lawyer with an
office in the World building, and an em
ploye of the Manhattan railway, had first
approached him about the drawing of tha
contemplated will."
Witness, after testifying that he was
familiar with the handwrifng of the late
Mr. Rice, branded the Patrick will, the
$25,000 check, the general assignments and
the cremation letter as forgeries. Wit
ness swore he had a conversation with
Patrick when the latter called at the of
fice of Swenson & Sons, in connection
with the certification ot tne 525,000 checK.
"Did he tell you you were a legatee
under the will?" Mr. Osborne asked.
"He did n<st."
"Did he speak to you about the 1900
will at all?"
"He did."
Witness volunteered the testimony that
the general assignments were mentioned
in the conversation. Patrick had- toirt
witness that the Rice property wa« trans
ferred to him for the drawing up of
"s-ccret trust" which is so frequently
mentioned in this case, hut the purpose of
which for all that is as much a mystery
as ever.
On cross examination by Mr., Moor» the
witness was asked if he had ken
to Jones about the will, after the visit
of the valet to his hous.e in Brooklyn.
"In February," witness replied, "I
asked Jones what had been done about
the will. Jones said he had dropped the
matter."
"Did he ever tell Mr. Rice about Jones'
proposition?" asked Mr. Mooro
"I did not." witness replied.
"Why did pou not tell this od man Rice
that a conspiracy to get his money was
being set on foot against him by his ser
vant?" was the next question of Mr.
Moore.
Mr. Osborne objected.
Justice Jerome said the fjuesiion showed
Mr. Moore's purpose to be to discredit
the witness and he therefore couM not
allow it and after some discJsslon the
question was withdrawn.
Court adjourned until tomorrow morn

Houston, Tex., will take the stand.
