Wednesday December 10th
THIS NIGHT OR NEVER
Follow these Instructions and no barm
will befall you or yours
Decides to Pay Hhiihoiii
A consultation was Immediately held
by Mr Cuduhy and his friends aud
various plans were discussed looking
to the capture of the gang when they
should put In an appearance at the
rendezvous which they had named
One by one these were dropped as Im
practicable and at last impelled by
the fearful strain under which the
family was suffering Mr Cudahy de
cided to comply with the demands of
the bandits
As soon as this decision was reached
a messenger wns dispatched to one of
the city banks for the money He re
turned In a short time bringing with
him 25000 In gold coin After supper
bad been eaten Mr Cudahy ordered
one of his horses harnessed to a light
buggy and taking the sack containing
tho gold drove out Sherman avenue
to the appointed meeting place In
compliance with the demand made In
the letter he was quite alone and car
ried a red lantern In Ills wagon the
signal that had been asked for In the
communication
Money is Left at Appointed Place
After driving about live miles his
attention was attracted by a small
white light that seemed to bo close
to the roadside This was tho place
where he had been directed to leave
the gold Ah he came up to It lie saw
that it was simply a small lantern
suspended from a stick Alighting
from his buggy he took the sack con
taining the money and deposited It on
tho ground close by the stick and
leaving It there climbed Into the car
riage turned his horse around and
drove borne without having seen or
heard anyone or anything
Presumably however his arrival
and departure had been noted At
least about 1 oclock in tho morning
the missing boy was set down within
a block of his home and soon after
was again in the bouse which he had
quitted but little more than 24 hours
before He was safe and sound and
bad been treated kindly he said
Although tho detectives and police
havo been working on the case Inces
santly slnco It was llrst reported to
them they have not succeeded In dis
covering anything that even remotely
suggests the identity of the perpetrat
ors of the outrage

sheet from his own home on his way
back from the lltistln residence Tues
day evening when two men ap
proached him One of them stepped
up to him and said
We are sheriffs from Snrpjr counlr
and arrest you as Kddle Meflce who
escaped from the reform school
The lad protested that he was not
McfJee but his captors said that he
would have to be Identified They
placed him lu a buggy and drove to
Tlilrty slxlh street and thence south
to Leavenworth street As they ap
proached Leavenworth street a motor
car passed them The lad recognized
the conductor and said to his captors
There Is a man who knows me
ho can Identify me
lllliiilfolikd by III Captor
Hut the captors linedlately blind
folded him and whipped up the horse
The lad thinks that they crossed Leav
enworth street aud then drove in a
southwesterly direction Presently
they came to a house which lit the
opinion of the lad Is somewhere In the
southwestern part of South Omuhn
Young Cudahy was taken lidm the
buggy and placet lu a room aud
chained to the lloor
12d ward Cudahy Jr remnlned there
all night and the next day Ills hands
were tied and the chains on his feet
prevented him from getting a good
view of his surroundings even after
the blindfold had been removed lit
knows however that he was In an
empty room aud that the blliuU on
the windows were closed
Six Men In tlio Gang
On the trip to the place of Imprison
ment the men he says talked a little
about themselves He gathered from
them that there were six In the gang
I From a conversation between the ab
ductors and himself the boy learned
that the abductors had been seeking
to abduct one of the girls of the fam
ily and had been planning this coup
for four months
At night the mon released young
Cudnhy from his chains and said
We are going to take you home
Then they led him to a hack He
was driven rapidly through the dark
ness to Thirty seventh and Leaven
worth streets where he was allowed
to leave the carriage From there he
walked home arriving there shortly
after 1 oclock In the morning
RAID STATE TREASURY
Watchman at Capitol Claims to Have
cuaugetl Shots With Uobbern Pollco
Skeptical of the Story
Lincoln Dec 21 An unsuccessful
attempt was made to rob the state
treasury yesterday According to the
story told by Night Watchmau F M
Good he discovered three men in the
treasurers ollice at the state capitol
at 3 a m Two shots he says were
tired at him by the robbers one pass
ing through the lapel of his coat He
iired twice in return apparently with
out effect nnd the robbers escaped
without having opened the treasury
vault or securing anything of value
Detectives throughout the day fol
lowed up such clues as Night Watch
man Good was able to furnish but
they led to no arrests or even sus
picion as to the guilty Police officers
declare themselves skeptical on some
features of the story told by the night
watchman but many of the state offi
cers believe an attempt was really
made to rob the treasury Good
stands to his llrst story with the ut
most persistency The only new evi
dence found of an attempt being made
to break the vault was an ordinary
cold chisel a partly burned wax caudle
and a cement sack bearing the name
of a Fort Dodge plaster firm lying to
gether In the treasurers office

ing the greater part of Ihc past fort
night In considering the llaylatiuce
Iote treaty lor I he niodltlcatlon of the
Clnytoii Mulwcr invention of 180
the M nuti lestcrday consumed only
one hour and ten minutes lu amending
It and ratifying It as amended Dur
ing the time there were six roll calls
and several viva vncu votes The llrst
live of the roll calls were on utnend
menls offered by Individual senators
and the last one on the resolution to
ratify the treaty as amended The
amendment except those offered by
Senator Fniaker and reported by the
coniinlltee mi foielgn relations were
voted down by majorities averaging
about IP Tho ratlllcatlon resolution
was adopted by a vote of 55 to 18
The m unto was in executive session
for about an hour before the time for
voting arrived listening to speeches
by Senators Thurston ialllnger Wol
cott and Hard explanatory of their
attitude Senator Hard contended for
the adoption of his amendment giving
preference to American ships passing
through the proposed Nlcaraguan
canal Senator ialllnger spoke In de
fense of the treaty as It originally
came from the executive Senator
Wolcott said that the original treaty
would have been satisfactory to him
but added that he considered the
agreement as It had been and was
about to be amended preferable to no
treaty nt all Senator Thurston
strongly advocated the treaty saying
that as Great Hrltalu owns and gov
erns a very large portion of the terri
tory of North America It was perfect
ly right and proper that that country
should be consulted lu the matter of
the construction of an Isthmian canal
When Senator Mason asked if It was
not also proper that Great Itrltaln in
that event should pay part of the cost
of construction he replied that the
securing of the canal itself was tho
one great desideratum and that ac
complished the bencllt the waterway
would be to the worlds commerce
tho cost of construction was of little
moment
Foraker withdrew his amendments
to strike out the entire article which
provides for the adherence of Kuro
pean powers to the general principles
of neutrality enunciated and Insert a
declaration that the Clayton Ilulwer
treaty is hereby superseded because
they were the same as those reported
by the committee on foreign relations
By the terms of the now agreement
the Claytoii llulwer treaty Is suspend
ed In Its entirety Every provision for
American formication of the canal was
voted down
rutiiii of the Treaty
Inquiry at the state department as
to the future of the amended Hay
Iauncefote treaty develops the fact
that contrary to tho common under
standing the document does not need
to be returned at this stage to the
British government even if the presi
dent is of a mind to go on with tlio
negotiations Secretary Hay will
await an indication of the presidents
wishes In the mutter nnd if the lat
ter as has already been Indicated by
official statements concludes to give
the British government an opportunity
to pass on the amended treaty then
tlio state department will forward at
once to that government not the treaty
itself but the terms of the amendment
In diplomatic parlance the British
government will be notified of tho
amendment According to the state
ment of the oflleinls of tho state de
partment Great Britain must then be
allowed a reasonable time within
which to accept or reject them As to
what would constitute a reasonable
time no expression wns to be had
but attention was directed to the fact
that the United States government has
bad the tronry under consideration for
a year and that the amendments made
yesterday wore beyond dispute vital

Until DoiiiiiiiiU of tlm Ioniiu
Aid Satlslleil
London Deo 21 All the ministers
signed the preliminary utile yesterday
The note embodies the principles of
the minimum demands of the powers
and It was agreed on the proposal of
Groat Britain that until the demands
were Hiitlslled there would be no with
drawal of troops from Peking and tho
province of Chi LI
Peking Dec 21 Wednesdays meet
ing of the foreign envoys was pro
tracted and somewhat stormy owing
to the desire to discover who dis
closes to the Chinese what every min
ister lias pledged to keep secret LI
Dung Chang Invariably knows within
two hours of tho close of a meeting
what has happened
The ministers admit that Wednes
day was a critical moment for tho
preliminary Joint note as it was felt
that a point had been reached where
If they did not agree other difficulties
might occur As u matter of fact there
was a threat by one of the ministers
that his government would havo other
inodilicatlons and ho bad not reached
a decision European and American
residents therefore are glad that a
stage has been reached where some
thing can be done It Is felt that valu
able time Is being wasted and the
country becoming more unsettled
The note will probably bo delivered
Saturday by all the ministers to LI
Hung Chang and Irlnco Chlng with
n request that they reply as soon as
possible Four days will elapse be
fore a reply can be expected owing to
the necessity of communicating with
tho Chinese court
