Washington, March 21.—The Supreme court of the United States has denied the motion for writs of habeas corpus in the cases of Peter Miller and Thomas Shepperson, two of the Denver election ofl'cials who were sentenced to imprisonment by the Supreme Court of Colorado on charges of violating the orders of the court In connection with the November election. No written opinion was handed down. Miller and Shepperson were judge and clerk respectively of the 8th precinct of the £th ward of Denver, and they were sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000 and serve a year In close confinement for violation of the. injunction of the State Court forbidding all the officers of election in the city from interfering with or preventing a free, fair and open election. Miller and Shepperson, with 50 or 00 others are serving their sentences. The case was brought to the Supreme Court by Senator Patterson, ex-Governor Thomas and Mr. Smith, Democratic state chairman of Colorado, who attacked the jurisdiction of thC State Supremo Couit in regard to regulation of the They contended also that the imprisonment Of the election officials was "without any process or warrant of law at all and was an arbitrary, unwarranted, illegal interference with their liberty and contrary to the law of the land." Hrockton, Mass., March 21.—The city is in mourning for at least three score of iter citizens whose lives were blotted out by the explosion of a boiler in a large shoe manufacturing establishment in the Cauipello district conducted by the R. 11. Grover company. The explosion was Immediately followed by a flash of flame,'which consumed the factory, a long four story structure, with surprising rapidity and incinerated employees of both sexes who were tillable to extricate themselves from a mass of tangled wreckage formed by the terrific upheaval in the boiler room. Besides those killed outright more than half a hundred of the employees in the building were maimed, burned or bruised by the time they reached safe ground in the mad rush to escape from the doomed factory, which from all parts emitted the intense, awful heat of an iuferuo, driving back the band of heroic rescuers, who In a few brief moments had performed gallant service. Washington, March 21.—News that General Velutlni has been authorized by President Castro to conclude a new arrangement with the British and Jerman holders of Venezuelan bonds was regarded as a great "steadier" of the situation in regard to Venezuela. New York. March 21.—There will be a beef trust investigation in this city. In fact, It has been discovered that it started 011 Monday of last week and has already assumed enough apparent importance to bring on from Chicago Arthur F. Kvaus, the leading legal representative of Swift & Co. and one of the foremost lawyers of "the Big Six," as the trust has been called. He got here twenty-four hours after the investigation started, and he was followed the next day by half a dozen other lawyers from Chicago, who have been consulting with the local attorneys of thH meat packers ever since. The return of Xncagnoll brings to mind the capture of a counterfeiting outfit In Port Griffith about five years ago. Government officers succeeded in locating tho place where the bad money was being made and swooped down or it one morning, capturing the outfit and Incagnoli, in whose house it was being run. He was connected with the crime and after a trial was sentenced to seven years imprisonment In the Western penitentiary. When he was taken away Mrs. Incagnoli secured work at Buss' and moved from Port Griffith to Cork Lane. Incagnoli's term would not have expired for two years more, but he succeeded in getting a remittance of two years of the term for good behavior. As soon as he was released he fitted himself up In a new suit of clothes and started for Pittston. His arrival here was followed shortly by the meeting with his wife. Mr. Buss considerately gave Mrs. Incagnoli a half holiday on account of the return of her husband. The external debt of Venezuela aggregates $23,705,988. Of this the "D pel' cent Venezuelan debt of 1880, amounting to $9,243,000, is held by the Disconto geselscliaft of Berlin. The remainder of the debt is believed to be held among the Xord Deutscher bank of Hamburg, the Amsterdainsche hank of Amsterdam, the Credit Lyonnulse of Paris, the Compaigne Uenerale of Hrussels, by one or two banking houses at. Amsterdam and by one or two British banks. The company will be allowed to continue its usual service while the case is in court, the suit in the state courts being brought so that the city council shall retain jurisdiction in the matter.

This entered the back of the governor, near the left side, and passed in the region of the heart. Then, advancing, he tired twice more, each bullet striking the govv-rnor. The Chicago City railway was organized May 24, 1899. It was formed to purchase the holdings of Charles T. Yerkes in the North and West Chicago Street Railroad companies. It has a total capital of $18,000.1)00 and operates 218.7 miles of tracks. Its gross earnings last jrear were $0,381,245, and its cars carried a total of 190,187,791 passengers. The federal grand jury here has the investigation in charge, and a federal official said that the outcome might be indictments independent of anything that might be done in Chicago. For tills reason it is believed that If General Velutlnl's negotiations meet with success these powerful fiscal influences will combine to effect an amicuble settlement of the pending crisis in Venezuela so that tlie.v can realize something from the newly concluded agreement. lleiulkke. who admits he is a revolutionist, Is from Kurikke parish, in the northwestern part of Finland, but recently has lived In Stockholm to avoid arrest on account of his known revolutionary ideas. He returned four days ago to Finland by way of Tornea and spent three days in Viborg, but declines to reveal his stopping place. He lost one of Ills arms in a railway accident Late in February a syndicate, headed by J. P. Morgan and Thomas Ryan of New York, Marshall Field, P. A. Valentine and John J.

Burnett in the investigation, said: The Are extended from the factory to seven other buildings in the vicinity and also reduced them to ashes. One of these buildings was a three story wOoden block owned by Charles F. Dalilborg, and others were cottages of small value and a blacksmith shop. Two wooden dwellings near the engine room were practically demolished by the onrush of the boiler, but none of the occupants were seriously injured. The total financial loss is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars, !f200,O0C) of which falls on the It. B. Grover company. The monetary losses are nearly offset by insurance. "The investigation is progressing very satisfactorily to the government."

The basis of the conjecture that the United States authorities did not institute the inquiry in New York with the idea of returning indictments, but summoned interested persons for examination to assist the federal officials in Chicago, where the investigation of the beef trust is now in progress, was that Chicago was lift' center or the packing Industry and that the evidence of the persons sub[KDenaed here would hardly be of such a character as to enable the federal grand Jury of this district to return indictnients.

Mrs. Incagnoui was employed In the workshop, which Is separate from the store and when a tall man, who said he was her husband, came into the store and asked for her, she was sent for without being told for What she was wanted. Her husband waited until she came to the store and an affectionate scene transpired.

This answer. to which he refused to add a word of explanation.

Washington, March 21.—The Supreme court of the United States has denied the motion for writs of habeas corpus in the cases of Peter Miller and Thomas Shepperson, two of the Denver election ofl'cials who were sentenced to imprisonment by the Supreme Court of Colorado on charges of violating the orders of the court In connection with the November election. No written opinion was handed down. Miller and Shepperson were judge and clerk respectively of the 8th precinct of the £th ward of Denver, and they were sentenced to pay a fine of $1,000 and serve a year In close confinement for violation of the. injunction of the State Court forbidding all the officers of election in the city from interfering with or preventing a free, fair and open election. Miller and Shepperson, with 50 or 00 others are serving their sentences. The case was brought to the Supreme Court by Senator Patterson, ex-Governor Thomas and Mr. Smith, Democratic state chairman of Colorado, who attacked the jurisdiction of thC State Supremo Couit in regard to regulation of the They contended also that the imprisonment Of the election officials was "without any process or warrant of law at all and was an arbitrary, unwarranted, illegal interference with their liberty and contrary to the law of the land." Hrockton, Mass., March 21.—The city is in mourning for at least three score of iter citizens whose lives were blotted out by the explosion of a boiler in a large shoe manufacturing establishment in the Cauipello district conducted by the R. 11. Grover company. The explosion was Immediately followed by a flash of flame,'which consumed the factory, a long four story structure, with surprising rapidity and incinerated employees of both sexes who were tillable to extricate themselves from a mass of tangled wreckage formed by the terrific upheaval in the boiler room. Besides those killed outright more than half a hundred of the employees in the building were maimed, burned or bruised by the time they reached safe ground in the mad rush to escape from the doomed factory, which from all parts emitted the intense, awful heat of an iuferuo, driving back the band of heroic rescuers, who In a few brief moments had performed gallant service. Washington, March 21.—News that General Velutlni has been authorized by President Castro to conclude a new arrangement with the British and Jerman holders of Venezuelan bonds was regarded as a great "steadier" of the situation in regard to Venezuela. New York. March 21.—There will be a beef trust investigation in this city. In fact, It has been discovered that it started 011 Monday of last week and has already assumed enough apparent importance to bring on from Chicago Arthur F. Kvaus, the leading legal representative of Swift & Co. and one of the foremost lawyers of "the Big Six," as the trust has been called. He got here twenty-four hours after the investigation started, and he was followed the next day by half a dozen other lawyers from Chicago, who have been consulting with the local attorneys of thH meat packers ever since. The return of Xncagnoll brings to mind the capture of a counterfeiting outfit In Port Griffith about five years ago. Government officers succeeded in locating tho place where the bad money was being made and swooped down or it one morning, capturing the outfit and Incagnoli, in whose house it was being run. He was connected with the crime and after a trial was sentenced to seven years imprisonment In the Western penitentiary. When he was taken away Mrs. Incagnoli secured work at Buss' and moved from Port Griffith to Cork Lane. Incagnoli's term would not have expired for two years more, but he succeeded in getting a remittance of two years of the term for good behavior. As soon as he was released he fitted himself up In a new suit of clothes and started for Pittston. His arrival here was followed shortly by the meeting with his wife. Mr. Buss considerately gave Mrs. Incagnoli a half holiday on account of the return of her husband. The external debt of Venezuela aggregates $23,705,988. Of this the "D pel' cent Venezuelan debt of 1880, amounting to $9,243,000, is held by the Disconto geselscliaft of Berlin. The remainder of the debt is believed to be held among the Xord Deutscher bank of Hamburg, the Amsterdainsche hank of Amsterdam, the Credit Lyonnulse of Paris, the Compaigne Uenerale of Hrussels, by one or two banking houses at. Amsterdam and by one or two British banks. The company will be allowed to continue its usual service while the case is in court, the suit in the state courts being brought so that the city council shall retain jurisdiction in the matter.

This entered the back of the governor, near the left side, and passed in the region of the heart. Then, advancing, he tired twice more, each bullet striking the govv-rnor. The Chicago City railway was organized May 24, 1899. It was formed to purchase the holdings of Charles T. Yerkes in the North and West Chicago Street Railroad companies. It has a total capital of $18,000.1)00 and operates 218.7 miles of tracks. Its gross earnings last jrear were $0,381,245, and its cars carried a total of 190,187,791 passengers. The federal grand jury here has the investigation in charge, and a federal official said that the outcome might be indictments independent of anything that might be done in Chicago. For tills reason it is believed that If General Velutlnl's negotiations meet with success these powerful fiscal influences will combine to effect an amicuble settlement of the pending crisis in Venezuela so that tlie.v can realize something from the newly concluded agreement. lleiulkke. who admits he is a revolutionist, Is from Kurikke parish, in the northwestern part of Finland, but recently has lived In Stockholm to avoid arrest on account of his known revolutionary ideas. He returned four days ago to Finland by way of Tornea and spent three days in Viborg, but declines to reveal his stopping place. He lost one of Ills arms in a railway accident Late in February a syndicate, headed by J. P. Morgan and Thomas Ryan of New York, Marshall Field, P. A. Valentine and John J.

Burnett in the investigation, said: The Are extended from the factory to seven other buildings in the vicinity and also reduced them to ashes. One of these buildings was a three story wOoden block owned by Charles F. Dalilborg, and others were cottages of small value and a blacksmith shop. Two wooden dwellings near the engine room were practically demolished by the onrush of the boiler, but none of the occupants were seriously injured. The total financial loss is estimated at a quarter of a million dollars, !f200,O0C) of which falls on the It. B. Grover company. The monetary losses are nearly offset by insurance.

The basis of the conjecture that the United States authorities did not institute the inquiry in New York with the idea of returning indictments, but summoned interested persons for examination to assist the federal officials in Chicago, where the investigation of the beef trust is now in progress, was that Chicago was lift' center or the packing Industry and that the evidence of the persons sub[KDenaed here would hardly be of such a character as to enable the federal grand Jury of this district to return indictnients.
