prepared for Mr. Cudahy.
Mr, Cudahy was then recalled and swore
that bo carried tho bag of money out to

hoed the advice. Ho had Intended to-drlvo

head so that the occupants of tho buggy

Yunnif Cudnliy'ii Story.
Edwnrd A. Cudahy, Jr., star wltnc.ls, wns
then called. He repeated thu same story
of his abduction and Imprisonment as ho
related to The Ileo Just after his return
homo on tho morning of December 20. His
evidence was substantially, as follows:
"I wns 15 years old last August and
at tho time nf my abduction I was a student
nt Crelghton college. A lltllo after 7. o'clock
on tho night of December, IS I wns sent on
an errand by my mother to tako sonic
magazines to the home of Captain Itustln.
which Is on Thirty-seventh street, Just
north of Karntiui. Tho night was raw nnd
chilly and it was prctry dark. As I carac
out of our house, which Is at Thlrty-scvcnth
btrcet nnd Dowey avenue, I started north
on tho west hide of Thlrty-scvcnth street
nnd as I wns -passing tho Itogera residence
1 noticed t horse and buggy coming up
behind me. I turned my head nnd paw
two men In tho buggy, lmt (llll lint T
nny particular .nollco of them. I went on
to Ilustfn's, delivered the magazines, and
was returning tho same way I had gono
when I noticed the horse and buggy coming
nfter mo again. Just as I was in front
of General Cowln's houso ono of tho men
Jumped out of the buggy nnd approached
me. I was not frightened nt tho moment,
becauso I thought ho Wanted to Inquire for
somebody In .the noighborhoood. As tho
man approached mo ho faced the street
lamp In front of the Cowln residence nnd
I saw ho had a stubby, black mustache und
black hair and worn a long overcoat, reach
ing below tho knees. Suddenly ho shoved
a revoher under my nose, grabbed hold of
my ennt and Mild 'You're Eddie McGee nnd
you have stolen $.100 from your aunt-sbo
Is going to give rr.o $200 for taking you
back to the reform school.'
"I was thoroughly frightened then and
told him I was not Eddlo McGee. but Eddie
Cudahy and lived only half a block away
Ho said' ho wouldn't tnko nuy bluff llko that
nnd commanded mo to keep quiet, He put
ma In tho buggy between himself and the
man who had hold of the lines and they
drovo on past our house. As we went by
1 told them I lived In there, but they said
that kind of n gamo wouldn't work with
them. They drovo out Dewey avenuo some
distance and then over to Unvenworth
which they followed to Fiftieth street, where"
they turned to tho south. As they drove
along I saw tho driver was a man with n
heavy, llght-rolore.l mustache. The dark
man who had picked mo up said to tho
other. '1 guess wo've got tho right boy,
herlff ' I then asked the light man If he
was the shot iff, and he said ho was.

"Just nfter they turned Into Fiftieth
street they stopped the buggy nnd blind
folded nic with n brown cloth, nfter which
they drove ou. Finally they stopped ngaln,
look mo out of tho buggy and led me Into
a house. The nun who hail picked me up
on Thlrty-jcventh street stayed In th
house with me, while the other man went
out to. get tomethlng to eat. My guard
then told mo they had (aken me for the
purpose of getting some money out of my
father and that no harm would come to me
whither they got the money or not. He
said they had not decided on how much
money to nk for. but It would bo some
amount between $15,000 and $25,000.
"I fell nsleep nfter awhllo and when 1
woke up the guard was iislopp I could
henr hint snoring. I pulled the blind up
from my eyes so that I could peep out
nnd I saw he was lying on tho floor with
his fact, tut nod away from tne. He had
black hair and wore .i mask of black cloth.
About 1 o'clock tho other man camo back
with sonio bread, cold meat nnd graham
crackers. Tim light man loft ngaln pres

whisky during tho night."
Young Cudahy relalrd in dclnll the con

the following day, all of which havu been

NEW YOltK. April 21. M. tie Houtowsky,
tho financial agent of Itussla In tho t'nlted
Slates. Is in this city on his way to St.
Petersburg in speaking of the financial
sliimtlon In Utifslu and the probability of
a Russian loan being offered in New York
City. M. de Routowsky said:
"A piess dispatch from lterlln speaks of
the supposed Intention of the Russian gov
ernment to float n loan !n tho United
Suites. M. do Wltto. the minister of
finance, In St. Petersburg, has given most
emphatic and olllclal d-nlnls of tho stories
that tho Imperial treasury needs any
money.
"The olllclal declaration of the minister
of finance In St. Petersburg have been sup
plemented by Independent statements which
I have made for tho press, in which theso
rumors have been declared to be Incor
rect. It may bo said etnpbntlcally that the
Imperial Russian treasury Is not In need of
money, notwithstanding its large expendi
tures In tho far east. Whero the United
States during the Spanish-American war
borrowed $200,000,000, where tho Hrltlsh
government during the Transvaal war bor
rowed nnd Is borrowing over $100,000,003
nnd whero the German government for Its
operations In China has sold German bonds
to tho amount of $20,000,000, the imperial
Russian government has declined all offers
nindo to float n bond Issue, because the rev
enues from tho government for the last
eight ycurs have been far in exccus of or
dinary expenditures. Not only hnvo or
dinary expenditures been met by the Im
perial revenues, but the government has
been able to construct from Its surplus
revenues the whole of tho trans-Siberian
railway, which will be worth when llnlsibrvl
$100,000,000, and to contlnuo to construct
her railroads."

Interests were buying to obtain control of
this transcontinental system, which Is Its
natural connection and Pacific coast outlet.
No corroboration of the prevailing rumors
could bo obtained from olllclal sources, but
tho operators In the stock exchange clung
to them persistently. Occasionally th Chi
cago & Northwestern-Union Paslflo story
would be varied by reports that a big Union
Pacific pool had been formed by strong

Officers of the Chlcngo &. Northwestern
declnre that so far as known that company
has no Interest In the deals with the Union
Pacific or with nny other railroad system.
The Vanderbllt Interests aro largely repre

NEW YORK, April 24. The Herald says:
Plans for tho development of the Missouri
Pacific system, which George J. Gould has
had under hli immediate charge, buve re
ceived the unanlnioUH endorsement of the
directors. It is now the indication that
not only will this system havu tho outlet
to the Pa'clflb Voast, over tho Union Pa
cific's lines. -hlch will be furnished by Its
control of thu Rio Grande and Rio Grande
Western, but It, will have n southerly out
let to the toast over the Southern Paclllc
lines.
Russell Sago announced last night that
tho project of building a lino from El
Paso, which Is reported to bo contem
plated by the Texas & Pacific, nnd also
Incidentally by the Mexican Central, to
Santu Fe, N. M., would be carried through.
This means not. only a paralleling of tho
Atchison's lino between these two cities,
but an opportunity to connect with the
Mexican Central and carry Its tralllc
straight up over tho .Union Pacific by
way of tho Oregon Short Lino to Portland,
Ore.
Tho control of the Mexican Central, It
has recently been stated, has passed Into
the hands of Interests representing a rail
road with connection nt El Paso. Atchison
nnd Southern Pacific Inteiests and those
of tho Rock Island, which was said to
contemplate an extension to El Paso, have
all denied that they are tho purchasers.
Tho belief Is growing that tho Interests
Identified with Mr. Gould nnd his associates
have bought the Mexican Central control
on behalf of tho Missouri Pacific.

"Tho stories recently telegraphed the

"The statement that the Cossack civalrv

Nothing like It occurred. My ofllce Is on

mid all the Cossueks, who did not even
havo their swords, us they iisunlly do, dm
well to keep the people moving to prevent
their blocking the street.

"1 never saw a better imtured crowd, ar.d
while there were n number of students
moving nbout I did not see or henr of one
creating the Hllghtist disturbance. 1 stood
on the cuthedral steps for n few niomeutH
watching the crowd, witch nbout twenty
Cossacks came Hotting, eonmnny tronl.
from the street, some 200 feci distant, to
ward the centrnl door, where they hulled.
1 nupposed they were signalled for, but did
not know why they camo until nfterward.
I learned that some students went into the
eathedrnl smoking tigarottcs, looking for n
row, und were ordered to desist, tint re
fused, nnd In the efforts of the attendants
to eject them one of tho students threw n
stone nt nil Icon and broke the glass front,
nnd two or three chairs wero broken, but
while 1, with others, stood within thirty or

"St. Petersburg Is as quiet and orderly a

and, while I have no menns of kuuwiug how

not believe (hey nre as numerous ns thev

much lawlessness here as there is In that
