CASTRO IN NEW YORK
RY ORDERSOF COURT
Habeas Corpus Granted and
Exile Is Permitted to Enter
America.
New York, Feb. 3.—The right to go
and come, a free man, through the
streets of New, York, was given to
Gen. Cipriano Castro late yesterday,
but instead of exercising the privilege
he went to bed. Released under 3500
bail pending argument on a writ of
habeas corpus after his month of con
finement at Ellis island, Castro made
for an uptown hotel, engaged a lux
urious suite of rooms and shut him
self in.
General Castro's week of freedom
was granted by Judge Holt after It had
been agreed to postpone argument on
the writ until February 7. The docu
ment compels the government to show
legal cause why Castro, who was or
dered deported by Secretry Nagel, of
the department of commerce and labor,
should not be admitted.
Castro himself would say nothing of
l, , the killing of Paredes, for which he is
held responsible by the immigration
authorities, but Antonio Sanchez, for
merly his secretary, said that Castro
was in a "dying condition” when the
order was given that Paredes be put
to death, and “could have known noth
ing of it.”

thusiasts and engaging in lively per
sonalities over questions relating to the
administration of the organization af
fairs. the national hobo convention got

of the country.

COALMINERS OF WALES
GIVEN WAGE INCREASE
Liverpool, Feb. 1.—Coal miners in
the federated area of England and
Wales have been given a further In
crease in wages of 5 per cent, effective
” in January. This is in addition to the
6 per cent increase granted last Oc
tober. and it brings the wages of all
the men in and around the mines up to
60 per cent above the standard rate of
1888.
Latterly the coal trade has been
booming, and the miners are thus shar
ing in the prosperity of the owners.
This last advance was granted by the
unanimous vote of the coal concilation
board, composed of mine owners and
representatives of the miners’ union.
It adds upward of 85,000,000 to the an
nual payroll of 400,000 men.
The Scottish and South Wales coal
fields, where there is always more or
less trouble between the men and the
employers, are not in the federated
area.

BULGING S NOT
ALL F_R NEEDS
Kansan Says Ruralist Needs
Spiritual, Not Material
Improvement.
Madison. Wls„ Feb. 3.—"Barns
bursting with produce, well stocked
pastures and swin pens and four fig
ured bank deposits in the possession of
farmers do not constitute real rural
wealth. Work so far done to make
country life more attractive is on
wrong lines. Symptoms have been
treated rather than the disease. A
new and constructive program is
needed, one that suggests human de
velopment along lines.”
These were statements made here
last night by 'William A. McKeever,
professor of philosophy at Kansas
State Agricultural college, in an ad
dress to the third annual country life
’conference. Prof. McKeever argued
that the condition of the farmer is in
need of spiritual rather than material
improvement. “The development of a
well poised, self reliant and happy
personality in the average farm dwell
er is the problem,” he said.
”1 have known the materials of wealth
to be heaped up around a farm house
which contained a sad and disappoint
ed wife and from which the sons had
Red without even a grammer school
education.” said Prof. McKeever. “The
idea of the dignity of labor must be
fostered but the material wealth of the
Individual is not the aim.”
ENGLAND SHARES IN
YANKEE PROSPERITY
Millions of Dollars Sent to Poor
Relatives By Britishers In
America.
London, Feb. 3.—Sir Henniker Hea*
ton, who was largely responsible for
the introduction of penny postage be
tween the colonies and Great Britain
and between England and America, has
been gathering statistics which show
that last year $35,000,000 were received
in the united kingdom from America
and the colonies in money orders.
Some of this money, of course, was
in payment for goods, but Sir Hen
niker estimates that by far the largest
portion was sent as Christmas or other
presents from those who have prosper
ed across the waters to poorer relatives
at home.
From the United States alone there
came over $14,000,000. of which $5,
000,000 was for Ireland. Canada sent
$11,500,000, Australia $2,500,000, India
$1,700,000, New Zealand $1,200,000,
South Africa $4,000,000 and other places
about $1,500,000.

made port. Only a few of her crew
were strong enough for duty when she
arrived.

smouldering blankets used by the
thieves to deaden the sound of an ex
plosion.
Fearful that he would be burned to
death without being able to give an
alarm, Roser made a superhuman ef
fort to free himself when he saw the
blankets start to blaze and succeeded.
He succeeded in loosening a tie which
held his arms and removal of the gag
from his mouth and the ropes about his
legs was a matter of a few moments.
He telephoned an alarm first to the Are
department and then to the police.
When the former arrived, the Interior
of the building, w^ilch was of two
stories, was In flames and the structure
and contents were destroyed with a
loss of $75,000.
The safe blowers, four In number,
broke Into the store shortly after mid
night and according to Roser, were
only a few minutes blowing open the
safe and escaping with $1,200. Roser
was employed In the store as a night
watchman.

SIOUX CITY HAS A
$68,000 FIRE LOSS
Northwall Company Warehouse
Burns—Firemen Fight In 10
Below Zero Weather.
Sioux City, la^ Feb. 1.—Fire, raging
fiercely under the fanning of a strong
northwest wind, Friday demolished tha
two story frame warehouse of the T. O.
Northwall company, automobile and
farm Implement dealers. With the
thermometer registering 10 degrees be
low sero, and the northwest wind whip
ping bitterly across the railroad yards,
members of the Slonx City fire depart
ment fought bravely until the flames
were under control, little heeding their
frequently frozen faces, hands end feet.
Destroyed in Hour end Half.
The blase was first discovered at 9
o'clock, and an hour and a half later
the wooden structure was gutted and
the walls partly caved in. The stock
of the Northwall company, comprising
much woodwork, offered sufficient
tinder to quickly spread the flames all
over the building. J. D. Goodwin, local
manager of the concern, which has Its
main offices In Omaha, Neb., stated to
day that the stock was valued at about
$80,000 and the building at $8,000. He
said that a large part of It probably
was oovered by Insurance^ but he could
not answer definitely os to the Insur
ance, It being handled from the Omaha
offices.
Defective Wires Probable Cause.
The origin of the fire Is unaccounted
for. It Is thought that defective wir
ing may have been the cause. The
blaze was first discovered by Miss
Minnie Ohlund, a stenographer and
bookkeeper. The flames burst through
the celling of the office In which she
was working. She hurriedly telephoned
the departments. They answered
promptly, and. It was thought for a
time that the flames could be confined
to the northeastern comer of tbe
building. Four Btreams were poured
on the burning building, but the fire
made speedy headway toward the
rear. Men employed at the plaoe had
time to remove but one of the six
automobiles that were Included In ths
stock. It Is thought that the fire had
a good start before It was discovered,
although several of the employes were
working but a short distance from Its
starting point on the second floor.

Together—He wanted Her
Excused.
Seattle, Wash., Feb. i.—It Is not
proper tor husband and wife to sit on

HOME RULE MEASURE
DEFEATED RY LORDS
Scene In Upper British House
Lacks Enthusiasm—Con
clusion Foregone.
London, Feb. 1.—After a two days'
discussion, the house of lords rejected
the home rule bill. 128 to 62. The result
was a foregone conclusion.
The speeches aroused little Interest
because, as the earl of Halsbuny pa
thetically observed, the position of the
house was now that of an ordinary de
bating club—the peers could express
their views and reject the bill, but
they could not prevent It from becom
ing a law. Nevertheless, the largest
muster of peers since the fateful eve
ning they passed the parliament bill
assembled In the house, and the Jeweled
peeresses thronged the side galleries.
Lord Lansdowne wound up the de
bate for the opposition; Lord Morley,
of Blackburn, for the government.
The scene was lacking In the dra
matic excitement which accompanied
the lords’ rejection of Mr. Gladstones
bill In 1883 by a far larger majority,
378. t
