A Baud of Tliieves Captured—An Klee-tion in the Cherokee Nation—Cannot Pay Their Mortgages—A Shame to Civilization. Trouble Among the Glass Makers. Chicago, March 25,—A morning paper says that trouble is brewing among the glass manufacturers of the country and unless speedy relief arises their number will be considerably diminished. Soda ash, or rather its absence, is the cause of the trouble, and notwithstanding the de-mand for glassware is as great as ever known, many manufacturers will shortly be compelled to shut down their mills. The supply of soda ash is practically shut off by the strike among the dock laborers at Liverpool. More than 50 per cent, of the soda ash used in this country is obtained from Liverpool and as a large portion of the supply is used for other purposes, the glass manufac-turers find it hard to meet their orders, and it is said that within two weeks half of the glass factories in the country will be closed. A Systematic Robbery. St. Paul, March 25.—The police have made some important arrests and uncov-ered a systematic and extensive robbery of freight cars. Freight car seals on the Great Northern have been tampered with for some time and considerable property stolen. Two thieves who were arrested Saturday gave information which led to the arrest of Mrs. Sweeney, her two sons and Ed Maloney and Fred McConnell. In the Sweeney cottage, and buried in a neighboring lot, were found several thousand dollars worth of goods belong-ing to different firms in this city. The boys had been in the habit of boarding freight ears near Hamline, and while paising near their home they would throw out several boxes of goods. This was always done at night and the plun-der removed to a hiding place at once. , --------------- A Shame to Civilization. New York, March 25.—The grand jury came info the court of general ses-sions today and banded a long present-ment to Judge Fitzgerald in which the sheriff’s office is characterized as a dis-grace to the city and a shame to civiliza-tion. The foreman of the grand jury, when he handed the presentment to Judge Fitzgerald, said that the grand jury in-quiry had failed to reveal a single re-deeming element in the management of the office. It was a black record of vio-lated law, tardy justice, corruption and bribery. The sheriff’s office was a dis-grace to the city and shame, on civiliza-tion and it was no longer a question of what ought to be done to remedy ex-isting evils, but what must be done at once and without delay. The foreman asked that copies of the presentment be sent to the governor and the state legis-lature. Election in the Nation. St. Louis, March 25.—Late advices from the Cherokee Nation say political parties are becoming active in the mat-ter of nominating candidates for the chieftaincy of the nation in the coming election. The present chief, Mayes, who represents the Downing or Democratic party, has achieved a considerable repu-tation in his party of late, and it is be-lieved he will be nominated for re-elec-tion, while ex-Chief Bushyhead, leader of the National or Republican party is being urged by his friends for the head of their ticket. The strip question will be an active factor in the campaign and it is skid the contest over that and other issues will be hot and bitter. Cannot Pay Their Mortgages. Albany, March 25.—The annual re-port of the board of state assessors con-tains this statement: “There continues to be a marked depreciation in the value of farm lands in nearly every county and the depression among the farmers con-tinues, while the prospect for improve-ment is not good. Many assert that after paying expenses they cannot realize from their farms sufficient to pay the in-terest on the mortgages and consequently thousands of farms are falling into the hands of mortgagees.” Will Make a Test Case. New York, March 25.—The Times states it is semi-offieially declared that big western railroads have obtained from prominent New York lawyers opinions declaring the interstate commerce law unconstitutioned so far as it prohibits pooling and attempts to regulate long and short haul rat«s. Guided by these opinions it is said one prominent rail-road company will begin an aggressive fight to nullify the law. Railway Directors. New York, March 25.—The bond-holders of the Mexican National railway yesterday nominated eight directors to hg,.elected as their representatives at the coding election. The six resident in the United States are: W. G. Raoul, J. A. Horsey, C. C. Beaman, Geo. Coppell, Pc:' .“f, inwall and Epstein Norton, i.e “> reident in Mexico are Emilio Va < < ci, C. S. Stanhope. Inyested Witli His Robes. Philadelphia, March 25.—Nicholas Contevelle, vicar general of the arch diocese of Philadelphia, was this morn-ing invested with his robes of rank as monsignor of the first rank or domestic prelate of the Pope’s household to which dignity he was recently raised by Pope Leo XIII.

Brown, receiver, vs. Nancy J. Gay et al. from Tarrant, motion of ap-pellees for issuing mandate submitted. Horse Thieves Captured. Laredo, March 25.—[Special.J—Some days ago mention was made in these despatches of the recovery at points in Mississippi of numerous horses stolen from ranchmen in the counties of Enci-nal, Dimmitt, LaSalle and Webb by Capt. McNeal a state ranger. The cap-tain returned to Encinal, some thirty miles north of this city, on Sunday bringing much of the stock with him. Since his return he has arrested Joe. P. Wright and brother, one Burris and another party whose name could not be learned as the ringleaders of the gang who have been making these counties their headquarters and who have man-aged the stealing of horses. Several other parties are wanted and will be ar-rested as soon as found. If the evidence is as strong as it is thought the parties under arrest will probably never steal horses again, as there are many cases against them. Blown Up by Powder. Denison, March 25.—[Special.!—While tamping a charge of giant powder in hard limestone on Houston avenue this morning James Parks was fatally hurt and Tom Lancaster slightly in-jured by a premature explosion. Both men were in the sewer ditches at work and Parks was tamping the charge of powder when the substance exploded. He was hurled high in the air and fell back into the hole bleeding, burned and bruised horribly. Wanted Her Liberty. West Chester, Pa., March 25.—A young woman made a desperate attempt to escape from the Villa Marie convent at this place this morning, but failed. About 6 o’clock this morning she leaped from one of the windows in the large convent building to the ground fifteen feet below and ran down the broad walk leading to town, clad only in her night clothes and with nothing but her stock-ings on her feet. After her ran five nuns, and when she got 100 yards from the convent they caught her and dragged her struggling and crying bitterly back to the convent. The young girl cried “murder!” several times, but no one was near enough to go to her aid. A young lad, who was near, was told by one of the nuns that the girl was sick and delirious, but this the fugitive indig-nantly denied. She was about 18 years of age and of attractive appearance. The affair created a sensation here, but as yet no steps have been taken to in-vestigate the matter. Sen tetter ed for Fifty Years. San Francisco,March 25.—Lee Chuck, a Chinaman, who was recently con-victed of murder in the second degree for killing a fellow countryman four years ago, was sentenced today to fifty years’ imprisonment. It was one of the most noted Chinese criminal cases ever brought to the attention of the courts here and a large amount of money has been spent in the prisoner’s defense by the High Binder society to which lie be-longed. Chuck was twice convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death. Each time the supreme court reversed the conviction. Chuck killed a victim who was a member of a rival so-ciety by shooting him down in the street and he then called other High Binders who riddled the body with bullets. Weather Bulletin. Washington, March 25.—For Arkan-sas, colder, fair weather, northerly winds ; fair weather, Wednesday. For Eastern Texas, fair weather, northerly winds, lower temperature.

He Will Not Give the Price of an Honest Opinion for a Crown —Boulanger Wants to go Back to France—Da-v itt Will Assist the Strikers. GERMANY. THE NEW TENANT. Berlin, [March 25.—Gen. Caprivi, in entering the abandoned residence of the Iron chancellor is reported to have said: “I shall not probably remain here long, it would be impossible for me to sacrifice my honest opinion on the price of a crown.” Prince Bismarck has deposited all his stars, crosses and medals in a rich bank. A jeweler’s estimate of their value is £5,005. The Prince only retains orders of the Golden Fleece and that of the Black Eagle. “No more uniforms or medals for me.” The veteran statesman is reported to have said: “You have forced me into retirement where I shall-wear a frock coat and only need my iron cross.” COUNT BISMARCK’S SUCCESSOR. Berlin, March 25.—Herr Von Alser-ban, now German minister to Belgium, will probably succeed Count Herbert Bismarck as imperial foreign minister. General Count Von Waldersee, chief of the imperial staff, has started from Berlin on a visit to Italy. Prince Bismarck will leave Berlin for FrieericLrushe on Thursday. All the generals of the army stationed in Berlin and vicinity have paid him farewell visits. FRANCE. WILL CONSIDER THE PROTESTS. Paris, March 25.—A meeting of the cabinet was held today to consider the protests which have been made by the various French chambers of commerce against the McKinley, American cus-toms duties bill.

THE QUEEN AND PRINCESS VISITING. London, March 25.—The Queen and Princess Beatrice have started for Aix les Bain. THE IRISH LAND BILL. London, March 25.—The Pall Mall Ga-zette, commenting on the Irish land pur-chase bill introduced in the house of commons, last night says: The bill is abominable in that it dishonestly pro-fesses to clear the British taxpayer of a responsibility, while his credit is the sole lever by which Mr. Balfour expects to gain his ends. It is also unjust in that it confers upon a handful of citizens, at the expense of the rest of the commu-nity, a boon to which they have no claim beyond other cultivators of the soil. WILL ASSIST THE STRIKERS. London, March 25.—Mr. Davitt will go to Liverpool to help the dock laborers in their strike. CENTRAL AMERICA. AN INDIAN UPRISING. La Libertad, March 25.—The Indians who took part in the uprising in Decern-her last are again troubling the govern-ment. A few days ago they surprised the inhabitants at Chalatenago and stole a few arms and pillaged the government buildings and were finally repulsed, but now threaten Cajutepeque. The gov-eminent has forces in readiness, but nothing serious is feared. DENMARK. WILL NOT ENGAGE SOCIALISTS. Copenhagen, March 25.—The minis-ter of war announced in the Folkeling yesterday that socialist workmen would not he employed in the state workshops. This decision is based on the ground that they are subject to foreign influence. KUSS1A. SEEKING'BETTER HOMES. St. Petertburg, March 25.—An epi-demic of suicide has prevailed here for many weeks. On Saturday last a lady of the court poisoned herself, and on Sun-day M. Peirel, an attache of the French legation, followed suit. Tli© Scotcli-Irisli Gathering. Pittsburg, March 25.—At a meeting of the Scotch-Irish of Pittsburg represen-tatives here today to arrange for the national gathering in Pittsburg June 29, Rev. J. S. Mclntosch, chairman of the national committee, presided, and all details were arranged for the great gathering. The halls of the Pittsburg exposition will be the meeting place and will seat 5,000 to 7,000. A special com-mittee leaves here this week to invite the President, Secretary, Blaine and others. Glory brings 25 cents per barrel in New York City more than any flour sold there. W. S. Heard, Agent. Nice, large red apples at W. K. Finks

Laredo, March 25.—[Special.J—Some days ago mention was made in these despatches of the recovery at points in Mississippi of numerous horses stolen from ranchmen in the counties of Enci-nal, Dimmitt, LaSalle and Webb by Capt. McNeal a state ranger. The cap-tain returned to Encinal, some thirty miles north of this city, on Sunday bringing much of the stock with him. Since his return he has arrested Joe. P. Wright and brother, one Burris and another party whose name could not be learned as the ringleaders of the gang who have been making these counties their headquarters and who have man-aged the stealing of horses. Several other parties are wanted and will be ar-rested as soon as found. If the evidence is as strong as it is thought the parties under arrest will probably never steal horses again, as there are many cases against them. Blown Up by Powder. Denison, March 25.—[Special.!—While tamping a charge of giant powder in hard limestone on Houston avenue this morning James Parks was fatally hurt and Tom Lancaster slightly in-jured by a premature explosion.

West Chester, Pa., March 25.—A young woman made a desperate attempt to escape from the Villa Marie convent at this place this morning, but failed. About 6 o’clock this morning she leaped from one of the windows in the large convent building to the ground fifteen feet below and ran down the broad walk leading to town, clad only in her night clothes and with nothing but her stock-ings on her feet. After her ran five nuns, and when she got 100 yards from the convent they caught her and dragged her struggling and crying bitterly back to the convent. The young girl cried “murder!” several times, but no one was near enough to go to her aid. A young lad, who was near, was told by one of the nuns that the girl was sick and delirious, but this the fugitive indig-nantly denied. She was about 18 years of age and of attractive appearance. The affair created a sensation here, but as yet no steps have been taken to in-vestigate the matter. Sen tetter ed for Fifty Years. San Francisco,March 25.—Lee Chuck, a Chinaman, who was recently con-victed of murder in the second degree for killing a fellow countryman four years ago, was sentenced today to fifty years’ imprisonment. It was one of the most noted Chinese criminal cases ever brought to the attention of the courts here and a large amount of money has been spent in the prisoner’s defense by the High Binder society to which lie be-longed. Chuck was twice convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to death. Each time the supreme court reversed the conviction. Chuck killed a victim who was a member of a rival so-ciety by shooting him down in the street and he then called other High Binders who riddled the body with bullets. Weather Bulletin.

It is also unjust in that it confers upon a handful of citizens, at the expense of the rest of the commu-nity, a boon to which they have no claim beyond other cultivators of the soil.
