A 'Washington dispatch Hays: Tho
president will recommend to congress
the payment of an indemnity to the
families of tho four Italians who were

SCHRIEBER’S STEALS
Eiizibstbport Bink Heavier Loser
Than Offioials Thought.
A WOMAN DEVELOPS IN THE CASE
HlielfT Hlete* Furniture mid l’pr#nl
Kffecl* of Mr*. Ilnrt, tn Alleged
Con federate of Sclirieber.
A New York dispatch says: Another
discovery was made Friday at the
Elizabethport bank, which increases
the stealings of defaulter Schreiber to
j $109,716. Several months ago an envel
ope containing $6,000 in United States
bonds was placed for safe keeping in
the bank by a resident Elizabeth.
1 When he called at the hank Friday for
the deposit it was found the envelope
had been carefully opened and the
bonds abstracted. Judge Gilhooly,
the bank’s attorney, said the institu
tion was responsible and the loss
would be made good.
The furniture aud personal effects
of Mrs. Hart, the woman upon whom
young Schreiber is said to nave lavish
ed the money of the Elizabethport
hank, have been removed to a storage
wartnouso by order of the sheiiff.
Three large furniture wagons were
required to remove all the contents of
the luxuriously furnished apartments.
Mrs. Hart was present and angrily
and tearfully protested against tho
removal of what she claimed to be her
own personal property.
What is believed to be a warrant for
the arrest of Schreiber was issued late
Friday afternoon by Police Justice
Multan, of Elizabethport, after a Lur
ried aud secret conference in Chief
Tenney’s office at polico headquarters
with President Heiclriter, of the bank.
Schreiber is believed to be in hiding
in this couutry.
Eminent lawyers, it is said, agree
thut the bank has a strong criminal
case against Mrs. Hart. The question
of jurisdiction in this case is said to
be settled conclusively by section 549
of the penal code, whioh states that
any person who has at any place with
out the state stolen or received stolen
goods and has brought such property
within the state, may bo considered
as having committed the crimes there
in. This jurisdiction being eettled,
the prosecution will base its charges
against Mrs. Hart on section 29 of the
penal code. This section states that
any person concerned in crime shall
he considered a principal in the act.
Startliug developments, it is as
sertod, may come out of all this, en
abling the bauk to recover $15,000
aud Mrs. Hart to keep her property,
and, wlint is more important, to be
freed of all prosecution. When the
writs were served on Mrs. Hart she
said she could prove that Bhe had
“other friends” who had given her
the rich treasure which the banks
then claimed its defaulting bookkeeper
had given her.
If Mrs. Ilart persists in making a
completo statement in court about her
sources of wealth, it is alleged she
will state necessarily the names of
these men.
WHAT HOAR SAYS.
Aged Massachusetts Senator Analyse* tlie
Democratic J’latform,
Senator George F. Hoar delivered
an address at the Republican rally in
Concord, Mass., Friday night. He
analyzed briefly tho Democratic plat
form, held Mr. Bryan responsible for
the adoption of the war treaty, aud
said the Democratic lender was not
sincere in his attitude toward imperi
alism. Ho said:
“There are undoubtedly many per
sons in tho Republican party who have
been carried away by the dream of
empire. They mean, I have no doubt,
to hold on to the Philippine islauds
ferever. But they do not constitute
tho strength of the party. I believe
Aguiualdo and Mabini entitled to self
governmeut. I believe also that
Booker Washington and Robert Small
nre entitled to self-government.
“I have little respect for the declar
ation of love of liberty of the men who
stand with one heel on tho forehead of
Booker Washington, of Alabama, and
the other on the forehead of Robert
Small, of South Carolina, and wave
tho American flag over Aguinaldo aud
Mabini. You are not helping the
cause of auti-imperialism by going
iuto partnership with Bryan."

THE NEELY CASES UP
Supreme Court Advances Them
For Hearing November 12th.
OTHER IMPORTANT CASES ARE SET
One Is the Question of the Constitution’*
Kxtension Over Our New
Possessions.
Monday the supreme court of the
United States granted the motion of
the government to advance the Neely
cases and assigned them for hearing
November 12th. The caftes came up
from the federal court of New York
on the decision of Judge Wallace de
nying a writ of habeas corpus. The
government is very anxious for a de
cision which will settle tho constitu
tional questions involved.
The court also assigned for the same
day the two cases which involve the
great question as to whether the con
stitution extends over the new posses
sions of the United States. One is
the caso of Boetz, a New York tobacco
importer, appealing from a decision of
the United States district court for the
southern district of New York, affirm
ing the decision of the board of gen
eral appraisers making tobacco dutia
ble under the Porto Rico tariff act.
The other comes to the supreme
court under tho title, “Fourteen dia
mond rings vs. the United Slates.” It
comes up in April from the federal
court of Illinois. One Poke, a soldier
of a South Dakota regiment, who
served in the Philippines is the claim
ant. When he returned home from
the Philippines he brought with him
the diamonds. They afterwards were
seized by the federal authorities in
Chicago and confiscated as smuggled
goods.
Through Peke’s agency suit was
brought to recover them on tho
ground that as the Philippines were
part of the United States within the
meaning of the constitution no import
duty could be levied, and that the dia
monds were not dutiable, and there
fore were unlawfully seized. The
lower court in both instances sustain
ed the action of the federal authori
ties.
During the day the court Lauded
down several decisions. In the case
of Daniel G. Wiley, plaintiff in error,
vs. Siukler and other election officers,
of South Carolina,' for refusing to al
low the plaintiff to vote for a member
of congress, tho court held that Wiley’s
right to vote for members of congress
was undoubted, but that the plaintiff,
having failed to register, that defect
was fatal. The judgment of the lower
court was affirmed.
The case of Alice Weil rs. the Unit
ed States was dismissed on motion of
the plaintiff, thus ending the legal
side of the famous litigation over the
La Abra mining claim, which was set
tled finally by the decision of the
court last winter. This cae was the
last oue on the docket relative to that
claim.
The court advanced the case of
Homer Bird, who was convicted of
murder by the district court of Alaska,
to tho second Monday in December.
Bird is from New Orleans and while
on his way to Alaska with some com
panions quarreled with them over tho
division of food and killed two of
them. He was couvicted of murder
and is now before the supreme court
as a plaintiff in error.
GEORGIA ASYLUM CROWDED.
Slat© Institution at Milledgevllle Has
Two Hundred and Fifty Inmates.
Governor Candler has received from
Superintendent Powell, of the state
lunatic asylum at Milledgeville, Ga.,
liis annual report, whiob, it is shown,
ooutaius some statements and sugges
tions that will prove of very consider
able interest to the next general assem
bly and to the statG at large.
As is well known, the state asylum
has been greatly overrun with patients
for the past year or two, there being
now two hundred and fifty unfortu
nates in tlio institution. Besides,
there are now lying in the jails of
Georgia more than 150 lunatics, it is
said, awaiting admission iuto the asy
lum, but who cannot be accommodated
for lack of room. This, notwithstand
ing the fact that scores of harmless
iucurables have beeu returned to their
families under an older passed about
a year ago.

GERMANY IS SILENT
Kaiser’s Answer to French Note
Has Not Materialized.
A WAITING GAME AS REGARDS CHINA
Uprising Throughout the Empire Seems
Imminent —Many Outbreaks Have
Already Occurred.
A special dispatch from Paris says:
Germany is the ouly power which has
not replied formally to France’s note
on China, though she has verbally ac
cepted its terms. Japan’s answer, re
ceived Monday, accepts the proposals,
retaining only one condition. This
refers to the permanent prohibition of
the importation of arras. While agree
ing with the principal, Japan offers
suggestions as to how the prohibition
can best be accomplished. A dispatch
received at the French foreign office
from Hankow dated October 13th says
the Chinese court arrived at Sian Fu
October 12 th.
It is officially understood that if an
international conference at The Hague,
regarding the Chinese indemnity ques
tion, is finally decided upon, it will
not discuss with China the amount of
compensatiou she must pay, but will
confine its labors to fixing and distrib
uting the proportion of the indemnity
which shall go to the several countries
interested.
BRITISH TROOPS DISPATCHED.
A column of troops was dispatched
from Hong Kong Monday morning to
the Kowloon frontier, w r ith the object
of barring armed refugees,either rebels
or imperial troops, from entering
British territory when defeated.
The rebels are reported to be 3,000
strong thirty miles north of the British
frontier. A thousand of Admiral Ho’s
troops are In pursuit of them, while
two thousand Chinese troops have left
Canton, overlaud, to intercept tho
rebels.
Admiral Ho has informed the gov
ernor that the rebellion was carefully
planned. The rebels are anxious to
conciliate the villagers, hence the ab
sence of outrage and pillage, All in
dications point to the rising being
widespread. Outbreaks occurred si
multaneously in several centers of
Kwang Tung aud Kwang Si. Appa
rently Kang Yu Wei, Sun Yat Sen and
the The Triads have amalgamated their
forces in tho common cause—the over
throw’ of Mauchu rule in south China.
Some positive indication of the atti
tude of the foreign powers is anxious
ly awaited.
