John Albert Skoog, a counterfeiter of world-wide reputation, who escaped from jail at Joliet, 111., four years ago, is a prisoner in New York, and as a result of his arrest the police have captured one of the most complete counterfeiting plants ever discovered. Skoog attempted suicide when he was arrested. An attempt to pass a Danish counterfeit note at a banking office in Broadway led to the arrest of the man. The clerks discovered the real nature of the bill and called an officer, but Skoog fled. He was pursued through the streets, and when brought to bay shot himself twice in the head. When Chief Hazen went to the Hudson Street hospital to identify the prisoner he found in Skoog's pockets three coun­ terfeit notes and a meal ticket in the name of Alfred Brown, 691 Grand street, Brooklyn. These revealed the location of his plant, which tonight is in the hands of the government. Emil Mobert, an alleged accomplice, was found ih the place and arrested. In the rooms were found plates for 100-kroner notes, plates for 50-kroner notes on the Bank of Copenhagen, in Denmark; plates for the United States $5 silver certificate of the last issue, and plates for an entirely new £20 pound note of the Bank of Scotland. BoMmiMTi right Goes Oa. Dr. M. J. Rodermund, the Appleton (Wis.) physician who exposed himself to smallpox to prove his theory of noncontagion of disease, and when Quarantined escaped from the guard, and was arrested and confined in the Detention hospital at Milwaukee, has taken as a partner Dr. E. Booth Ken­ dall, formerly of Menasha, and while maintaining his practice as eye spe­ cialist at Appleton, will shortly begin the publication of a magazine to be called the Iconoclast and Humanity's True Friend. He will do considerable lecturing at intervals, using the plat­ form to exploit his theories on the noncontagion of disease and what he characterizes as "the murderous fads in the practice of medicine." He will also go to Madison this week to work against a bill In the legislature making vaccination compulsory, and is work­ ing on a plan for a national organiza­ tion acainst vaccination. City of Bntte Is Sliding. A portion of Butte, Mont., believed to embrace the larger part of the big hill upon which some of the Anaconda mines are located, has made a very perceptible movement southwestward during the past few days. At the foot of the Anaconda hill the slide pushed the tracks of the street railway line about six inches for a distance of about 300 feet along the road. As there are no large buildings in that part of the city, no damage was done except to the railroad tracks, and but for their displacement the slide would not have been noticed. Geologists and sci­ entific men claim that the entire range of mountains about Butte is constantly moving. First Spanish War Clalafc The first claim presented to the Spanish war claims commission has been filed at Washington. The claim­ ant is Maria Soler E. Martinez, and the amount is $216,666, the stated value of personal and other property connect­ ed with a sugar plantation in Cuba which was destroyed during the late insurrection in the island. Mrs. Mar­ tinez makes the claim by virtue Qf the naturalization of her husband tt a citizen of the United States. Pats Back for Repairs. The transport Arab, which sailed March 31 for Manila with 700 horses, returned to San Francisco Thursday. When the Arab was about 1,200 miles off Port Taylor, she was discovered to be leaking, and Captain Wills put back for repairs. satisfactory manasr to vUch the functions of the week at Toulon and vicinity have been carried out has been a personal success for President Loubet of France. Nothing but praise is heard, even from his opponents, at the able manner in which he has played his part. The accounts agree that not a false note has disturbed the harmony, and the tact displayed on all sides, from President Loubet, the Duke of Genoa and Admiral Birileff, to the minor participants in the events, w a noteworthy feature. As to the po­ litical side of the Franco-Italian dem­ onstration the Temps tonight, now that the speechmaking is over, puts the situation in a clear light: "The words pronounced by M. Lou­ bet and the Duke of Genoa, and espe­ cially the telegrams exchanged be­ tween M. Loubet and the King of 'Italy," says the Temps, "stamps the proceedings at Toulon with their true diplomatic significance. France and Italy gave one another officially the title of friends, which accords so well with the fraternity of their genius and blood. This is an event which must not be distorted nor wrongly inter­ preted. But there is little risk of ex­ aggerating its importance, which, tak­ ing everything into consideration, is considerable. Both Italy and France have greatly changed since the time of Bismarck and Crispl. We cannot yet say what fruits yesterday will bring forth, but we augur much therefrom." The Journal Des Debats says the events at Toulon will leave a happy souvenir in the history of France and Italy and their reapproachment will henceforth rank as an established, avowed and proclaimed fact. M. Han- otaux, the former minister of foreign affairs, in an interview, is quoted as expressing the opinion that the Tou­ lon demonstrations were a valuable indication of the pacific sentiments an­ imating the powers. The visit of the Italian squadron, he said, marks the end of a painful period of tension in the relations between France and It­ aly and points to an evolution of the sentiments of the Italian government toward France. While on iboard the Lepanto M. Lou­ bet discussed with the duke of Genoa the increase and perfection of modern armaments, remarking that it would •be a terrible responsibility to provoke war. The duke of Genoa replied: "You are right, and I think such visits as these are calculated to render the re­ lations between nations more cordial." Wheat Condition High. The April report of the statistician of the department of agriculture, is­ sued at Washington yesterday after the close of 'Change, proved to be fully as bearish as most of the trade had an­ ticipated, showing a condition of 91.7 on April 1, and indicating a crop of 444,312,176 bushels on an area of 30,- 283,000 acres, taking 16 bushels as par. The condition on Dec. 1, 1900, was 97.1, showing a decline during the most trying season for the plant of only 5.4 points. The condition April 1, 1900, was 82.1, and the yield, as finally re­ ported, 330,883,848 bushels, or 114,090,- 000 less than the indications for the present crop. The mean of the April averages for ten years is 82.9. Not Marry In BKlnneaota. The Chilton marriage bill has been passed by the Minnesota senate. It had previously been passed by the house, and it now goes to the govern­ or for his signature. The bill provides for the appointment of reputable phy­ sicians in each county, who shall make an examination of every applicant for a marriage license. Imbeciles will be refused license except in cases where the woman is over 45 years of age. Babonle Plague Spreads. Washington reports say bubonic plague still exists in San Francisco, and the weekly health report issued by Surgeon General Wyman of the marine hospital service, shows that there was one new case and one death during the week ending April 4. This brings the total number of cases and the total number of deaths since Jsa. 1 up to twelve. ' BaMes Left In FUth. Eleven children, neglected by the womai to whose care they had been Intrusted, were rescued from the squa­ lor and misery of a "baby farm" in Chicago. For several days the chil­ dren had been allowed to remain un­ fed and uncared for in an unfurnished house at 7953 Union avenue, rented by a Mrs. Ida Tucker, the proprietor of the "farm." Alton Limited is Wrecked. The limited train on the Chicago A Alton railroad while going south at a high rate of speed was wrecked at Cayuga, five miles north of Pontlac, 111., at 11:58 a. m. Wednesday. The coaches were thrown in all directions, but remained upright. Two passen­ gers were quite seriously injured. They frere: Mrs. Collins of St. Louis, face lacerated and bruises on body; Dr. Fitzpatrick of Pontlac, head bruised. Several were severely bruised and all were badly scared. The accident was caused by a spreading rail. Weds Fourteen -Tear-Old OtoL W. E. Kinslow, a resident of Poplar Bluff, Mo., was married at that city to Miss Nora H. Wickens.

The talk of a new paper which has been heard of late crystalliezd in the filing of articles of incorporation of the Free Press Com­ pany with a capital stock of $100,000, divided into 1,000 shares of flOO each. The incorporators are H. P. Myrlek, Albert Huegin and C. M. Paine. Mr. Myrick was formerly editor of the Sen­ tinel, retiring when the paper changed hands. Mr. Huegin is the business manager of the Sentinel, and Mr. Paine was one of the leaders in the fight against the street railway company last spring; It is expected the paper will make its appearance about the 1st of June. The news service will be that of the Publishers' Press. Wabash Train is Wrecked. Wabash passenger train No. 14, south-bound, was wrecked at Wilcox, Mo., by running into an open switch. The engine was overturned and the mail car thrown into the ditch. Beyond slight injuries to Engineer Rogerson and his fireman from jumping no one was hurt, although the passengers re­ ceived a severe shaking. A report t6 the officials of the road from Conductor Morton says the key in the rod con* necting the switch stand had been re­ moved allowing the switch to fly open,' The train was running slowly at the time, which prevented more serious consequences. Traffic Was suspended nearly five hours. Paved with Gold and Silver. Thompson township, Fulton county, Pa., undoubtedly has the most valu­ able roads in the United States. They are veritably paved with gold and sil­ ver. The roads have been macadam­ ized with tons and tons of mineral rock, and nearly the whole county is ablaze with excitement over the dis­ covery that some of this rock assays, |4.60 a ton in gold and silver. Joseph"; H. Covalt of Thompson says prospect­ ors will at once begin the development of the minerals. Thousands of acreSi| of land in the township have been, leased by capitalists, who, quarries into gold mines. Cracker Men to OrgAttfra. Cracker manufacturers of the Unit­ ed States will hold a meeting at St. Louis early next month for the pur­ pose of taking measures to combat the organization which they claim is in­ terfering with their business. Eighty prominent firms at various points in the country will be represented. An organization for mutual protection will be formed. At the same time a large delegation of cracker-makers from England and the continent will be in session there and an elaborate program is being arranged for their entertain­ ment. A number of flour manufactu­ rers will also attend. MMM. 4 Will Raise the Maine Wreck. N. T. Chamberlin of Chicago has signed the contract to remove thd wreck of the United States battleship Maine, agreeing to give the govern­ ment 3 per cent of the proceeds of the sale of the material. The time for carrying out the contract will be ex­ tended to March 1, 1902, if sufficient reason is shown for the extension. The government insists upon a bond of $25,000 before the work of removal is begun. This question has not yet been settled. Morgan Declines to Talk. Thursday J. Plerpont Morgan went up to London from Liverpool with a large company of the Teutonic passengers. Reporters Importuned him in vain both at the landing stage and at Euston station for a revelation of the secrets of the colossal trusts direct­ ed by him, but he kept his own coun­ sel and affected surprise over the in­ terest excited by his arrival here when he was a regular visitor every season to London. (i Taxas Oil Is of a High Grade. Tests made in refining Texas crude oil at the Standard Oil refinery at Lima, Ohio, show the product of the Beaumont field to be of much better grade than heretofore estimated. That the oil market must in the future reck­ on with the Beaumont output as a factor is now coming to be recognized. The recent decline in both the Penn­ sylvania and Lima markets is attrib­ uted to the strike in the Beaumont field. Packers Hit toy Britain. Chicago packers will lose mil­ lions of dollars in trade because of a prohibitive ruling made by the British war office and unofficially announced here today. Dating from June 1 next, the war office has decreed, no contracts for meats to be used by the British army will be entered into unless it is known that such meats are home bred. This, of necessity, will bar out Amer­ ican product. Many Lives Lost at Sea. A dispatch t6 London from Hong­ kong says two Chinese steamers came into collision between Canton and Wu- Chow, and that seventy Chinese were drowned. The fishing steamer Emma has been lost during a storm in the North sea. The captain and crew of ten were drowned. School Board Stops Football. The Marinette, Wis., school board has taken action which practically pro­ hibits the game of football in the local schools. One resolution was passed prohibiting the playing of the game on the school grounds and another deny­ ing to the high school boys the right to use the name of the Marinette high school for a football team without spe­ cial permission. This will kill the sport as far as th$ high school is MM*. cerasd* "7 1 f « ™ Poem by Longfellow Fooad. An unpublished hymn written by, Henry Wads worth Longfellow has been discovered among worthless papers and old letters at the Longfellow house, Boston.

Mrs. Longfellow does not wish to give out the poem for publication just now and she h$s not definitely decided where the hymn is first to be published. Smal|pox Spread br Cats. Physicians at Anna, 111., made the startling discovery that the serious spread of smallpox In that district is due largely to cats. More than a score of cats have been found suffering with the disease and they have been going from house to house without their af­ fliction being suspected. The discovery was made accidentally, and as a re­ sult nearly every cat in that city has been killed. Smallpox prevails to such an extent that all the schools are closed in that place and vicinity and cfcdrch services are suspended. At Detroit, Kiel., Sund&y, filled passetger train aboard the Grand Trunk car ferry Huron sprung a leak in midstream and narrowly escaped disaster before reaching the shears at Windsor, Ont.

Coming so late in the session and being so com­ plicated that thorough understanding of it necessitates careful study, the bill ha*. small chance of passing either house, but It may serve as a thought provoker on the subject of nominating by direct vote. Wednesday, April la A measure was introduced into the' house in the shape of a bill reported by the committee on insurance. This bill wts sent In as a committee bill. That means that It bears the name of no member ot the house as its author, but the commit­ tee stands sponsor for it. The bill pro­ poses to make the state superintendent of insurance an elective officer. It pro­ vides that in November, 1902, a superin­ tendent of insurance shall be elected In the same way that other state officers aro chosen. The term of office is fixed at four years. The salary of the superintendent Is placed at $3,500 per year, and the duties of the proposed elective official are the- same as those now devolving on the ap­ pointed incumbent of the position. The elected insurance superintendent is re­ quired by the bill to give a bond of $100,000. The introduction of this bill called out animated discussion from both sides of the house. 'Thursday.

Some amusement was created the other day when Speaker Sherman called upon Doorkeeper Thomas Spellman to enforce the rules and expel the outsiders If neces­ sary. Spellman was down in the treas­ urer's office drawing his pay. "Is the doorkeeper present?" asked the speak­ er, in his quiet, penetrating tones. There was no response. "Is the doorkeeper present?" he repeated, raising his voice until It reverberated through the houso chamber. He looked grim and deter­ mined and the house was quiet as a church. "It will be in order to move an investigation to Inquire as to the where­ abouts of the doorkeeper, and It will be In order for the speaker to make an in­ vestigation when pay day comes around," he continued. He then appointed two special policemen to enforce order among the visitors and declared that unless the Chlcagoans kept quiet the sheriff of.San­ gamon county and the mayor of Spring­ field would be brought into service. For the remainder of the session there was a noticeable quiet. A. W. Miller, James J. Gray, and C.' W. Randall of the Cook county board* of assessors and F. W. Upham and F. D. Meacham of the board of review have been at Springfield looking after the various revenue bills now pending. All are in favor of the bill limiting taxation to 5 per cent of the assessed value of property. The two boards differ as to Senate bills 207 and 213. The assessors favor and the reviewers oppose these- bllls. Bill 207 greatly reduces the pres­ ent power of the board of review by limiting Its authority to reducing as­ sessments only, and also provides for an> appeal to the courts from any finding, of the board of review. Judge Carter has been quoted as having said that the passage of the bill would make some 40,000 lawsuits every year in Chicago in the shape of appeals from the board of review. The bill No. 207 leaves but lit­ tle of the board of review. Senate bilk No. 213 provides that the board of re­ view shall meet monthly, and that alt changes of assessments shall be made public at once. " .Jn* . The house committee on elections Jlpt other day ordered a committee blH 're- ported to the house, being the Civie Federation primary election bill, intro­ duced by Christian, so amended as to in­ clude some of the provision of a num­ ber of other bills on the same subject. It also contains amendments suggested by Judge O. N. Carter and others in Chicago, who have had the enforcement of the primary election law In their hands for the past two years. Bills have been Introduced In the Sen­ ate as follows: By Senator May: A Mil to amend the election law by defining the term "lodging house."

Members of the bouse Wednesday near* ly robbed themselves of a chance te double their own pay. Mr. Mueller call* ed up the bill increasing compensation of members from $1,000 to $2,000 a ses­ sion, and the roll call on it showed only 57 yeas to 79 nays.
