V., April 11.—The Democrats in the assembly made an onslaught on the annual supply bill, which carries additional appropriations of about $8,000,000. The bill came up on the order of third reading and was passed by a party vote without amendment. Amendments striking out numerous items in the bill were offered by Messrs. Palmer and Fuller. Mr. Cooke, Democrat, of Albany offered an amendment inserting $800,000 to pay the Judgments secured by fortyone counties against the state on account of bonds issued for railroad construction. This, too, was defeated. Minority Leader Falmer especially «ttaCked the appropriations of $3,505 and $1)04 foy deficiency in the lunacy commission to make up losses by defalcations in the offices of two of the state hospitals.

Tokyo, April 11.—The admiralty declines to give out any news regarding the movements of thfe Japanese fleet. Press correspondents have been informed that the three squadrons which are under the general command of Admiral Togo will not be heard from in all probability through Tokyo sources until the report of a light comes through one of the rea* admirals. The censorship Is as perfect practically as it wus in the flrst few months of the war. Chicago, April 11.—Eight mysterious trunks, In which are understood to be contained a complete set of secret records of the transactions of the alleged beef trust, were suddenly received by the federal government as a result of disclosures made to the federal grand jury. The seizure of the trunks and the efforts of the government officials to keep the fact a secret afforded the most sensational development of the investigation. New York, April 11.—In establishing the value of the shares of the Equitable society's stock James W. Alexander, the president, and those D.ho have joined him in his fight for supremacy Of control as against James Hazen Hyde and the hitter's followers question whether holders of stock are entitled to auy part of the $80,000,000 surplus that the society has. A severe windstorm crossed the pasture reserve here, partially wrecking some tents and causing other minor damages. No one was injured. Only a light rainstorm prevailed in the vicinity of the president's camp. It was unaccompanied by wind, and no damage was done. Maull is night watchman employed at the Pininnick mine and was on duty last night. His wife was sleeping with their baby on the ttrst floor or their home and was awakened about 5 o'clock by suffocating smoke and flames. Hhe grabbed the baby and barely escaped from the house, and was badly burned. Four children, three boys and one girl, ranging from 5 to 14 years in age, were sleeping in the upper rooms, and it is supposed were suffocated before awakening. Three important sennte hank hills were passed by the assembly and go now to Governor Higgins. They are those of Senator Davis, requiring bank and trust companies to include in their annual report to the superintendent of banks u list of depositors preferred in caseCJf insolvency; Senator Stevens, requiring a semiannual examination by directors, and Senator Davis, requiring bank officials who receive communications from the state superintendent to immediately notify the directors of the contents. A horse attached to a buggy rau into Jeremys' restaurant, dragging the buggy with it. Several persons were slightly injured. President Roosevelt's camp Is nestled In timber fringing the bunk of Deep Red creek In a picturesque spot eighteen miles from Frederick. The camp consists of about twenty tents belonging to the presidential party, nnd it is called Camp Itoosevelt. One large tent is occupied as a mess hall. Columbus, O., April 11.—A destructive storm swept over southern and southeastern Ohio yesterday afternoon. At Chillleothe the German Methodist church was unroofed, and a part of the steeple of St. l'eter's ehureh was blown away. Thirty children were rehearsing a play in Memorial hall when the steeple from the Third Street Presbyterian church and a pile of bricks crashed through the roof. No one was seriously hurt, but many were bruised by llylng brick. St. Joseph's church, near Somerset, in Perry county, wag partly unroofed, and two pinnacles from the tower fell through the remaining portion of tin' roof. The damage Is estimated at.several thousand dollars. Ohio Churches Wrecked by Storm. Tli is was one of the developments before Judge Maddux iu the supreme court in Brooklyn when arguments were heard oil the application of Franklin B. Lord to prevent the proposed niutualization of the society's business. William B. Hornblower, who appeared for James W. Alexander, said $70,000,000 of the surplus would be needed today to meet ail contingencies if the society were to liquidate. This would leave only $10,000,000 in the shape of a surplus, and .Mr. Hornbio\yer said his clients contended that even that balance properly belonged to the policy holders. The trunks were taken from the safety deposit vaults of the National Safe Deposit company, in the First National bank building, on a subpoena duces tecum issued by Judge Kenesaw M. Landis. Deputy Marshal Udell served the subpoena upon Daniel Peckham, secretary of the company, and obtained immediate possession. An express wagon hurried the trunks to the office of United States Marshal Ames for safe keeping. The naval officers in the admiralty bureau are as courteous as ever, but say it is impossible for them to describe the fleet movements. They (•onfirm the statement, however, that the second squadron of the Russian navy passed Into the China sea after dawn on Saturday. If they know where the remainder of the Russian Beet is they do not consider it wise to make public announcement of the fact. The house was entirely destroyed, and the charred remains of the four children were found after the fire had spent Itself. The Are is supposed to have originated from escaping nntur- ('barges that the New York board of aldermen systematically hold up railway franchises, so frequently advanced this session by the friends of the Eisberg-Stanley bills, which transfer the franchise power from the aldermen to the board of estimate, were strenuously denied last evening by Senator Grady in a fruitless effort to stop the passage of tin? Eisberg measures. The bills went through the senate by a vote of 35 to 13. all the Democratic senators but -McrCorreu being recorded in the negative. FIVE DROWNED IN HUDSON. ai gas. Fisherman and Passengers Lost In an THE WEATHER. Overloaded Skiff. I'oughkeepsie, N. Y., April 11.—James Malloy, a tiSherman of Barrytowu, started across the Hudson river in a row boat at that place with six men, nnd before he reached the other shore the boat capsized, and Malloy and four of the 111011 were drowned. Special Bulletin Issued by the Scran- It' can be said, however, that the Vladivostok squadron, comprising three powerful ships, is not giving much anxiety to the Japanese government. Just why this is so cannot i)e exjttoined, but there is little doubt that these three vessels are not regarded as factors to ImD reckoned with in any of the main plans formed for the sea battle now not many days away. . ' ton Branch of the Weather Two Sets of Books Reported. Bureau District Attorney Morrison instituted the action by which the trunks were seized, after a witness, whose Identity is carefully guarded, had startled the grand jurors with revelations as to former business methods of the packers. He is said to have stated that a double system of bookkeeping had been employed by certain packing firms, one set of books showing the secret- relations of the alleged combination and being accessible only to trusted employees and the other set of books showing figures to which the packers invited the attention of the government experts who made the Investigation for Commissioner Garfield. The storm over the central valleys yesterday moved rapidly northeast, and is centered over the lower lakes this morning, having caused general rain through the central valleys, the lakes, east and northeast portions of the country. It is warmer through the east, but this condition will change rapidly to cooler, as marked temperature falls have already occurred at many points to the immediate west of this section. Mr. Homblower's argument against an injunction was undeniably against any right of an Equitable stockholder claiming anything more than a yearly dividend of 7 per cent, as stipulated in the charter, as without a stockholder's right to participate in any other earnings. Even under the Equitable's present charter, Mr. Hornblower contended, all earnings properly belonged to the policy holders. The men whom Malloy started to take across the river were bound for l ister Landing, directly opposite Barrytowu. The little steamer that was to have conveyed them across the river had departed, and as there were no large boats In the water Malloy offered to take them to their destination in his skiff. The men accepted the invitation, and all six got In the little skiff. Girls Caught Up by Gale. Mahanoy City, Pa„ April 11.—A cy; clone struck Jackson, a mining village near here, late in the afternoon, causing considerable destruction. House* were unroofed, trees were uprooted and telephone and telegraph wires were torn down. .Miss Maine Keating and Miss Mai'ioii Iliggius were picked up by the storm and deposited in a field fifty feet away. Neither was badly hurt. William DoWliug was caught in the whirl and hurled quite a distance, but escaped unhurt. The storm did great damage in the rural sections, but no loss of life is reported. An interesting rumor, current since last Saturday, that two of the Russian battleships in Port Arthur and one of the cruisers, said to be the Bayan, have been raised and are actually with Togo's fleet, cannot be confirmed, but the news first came from Susebo with every appearance of authority. Three cruisers of the protected class which were building when the war broke out have been launched since January. So secret is the Japanese government In respect to its fleet movements it is impossible to give the tonnage of these ships, but generally it is known that their displacement is about 5,000 tons. They are of the type of the Hashldate and Akitsu'shlna, built in the Yokohsuku navy yard by Japan in 1U03. DELAY IN PATTERSON TRIAL Postponed One Week at the Assistant District Attorney's Requejt, An extensive area of high barometer pressure covers all the region west of the Mississippi river. This high will move southeast and east across the country, with cooler weather through the south, during Wednesday and Thursday. New York, April 11.—Becordcr Goff, on motion of Assistant District Attorney Band, granted an adjournment of the trial of Nan Patterson until Monday next. The lawyer told Judge Maddox that lie represented the Equitable society in the Lord proceedings. This was denied by the Hyde men, who intimate that a majority of the board of directors of the society may ask Jamerf W. Alexander why he maintained secrecy about the service of the papers in Franklin B. Ixird's suit. The pupers in the suit were served on James W. Alexander last Wednesday. Lord Action Kept Secret. A strong flood tide was running, and a heavy wind from the north made the river exceptionally rough. When the boat was about two-thirds across the river persons on the Barrytowu shore heard cries for help. Two young men, sons of Nathan Griffin of Ulster Landing, put out in a row boat and succeeded in rescuing two of the men. who were found clinging to the keel of the overturned skiff. Mr. Peckham, secretary of the National Safe Deposit eompany, declined to disclose the identity of the person or persons who stored the trunks with his company for safe keeping, excusing himself on the ground that It would be a breach of confidence to do so. lie admitted, however, that the trunks were consigned to the keeping of the company on March 'JH, three days after the grand Jury began its Investigation, and that they had been turned over to a deputy United States marshal on an order of the court. Mr. Band said the prosecution was not ready to go on. Attorney Abraham Ijevy, counsel for Nan Patterson, protested strongly against an adjournment, but Becorder Goff said the excuse offered by the prosecution was reasonable and he would grant the motion. s A second low barometer or storm area Is moving in from the southwest and precipitation is general through that section.

Morgan Smith and Mrs. Smith, the sister of Nan Patterson, who are making a light against extradition from Ohio. Without saying anything about the service of the papers Mr. Alexander permitted the board of directors of the Equitable to meet twenty-four hours later on Thursday and unanimously adopt the proposed amended charter. No one identified with Mr. Hyde knew of the existence of the Lord action until Friday night. In the meanwhile Mr. Alexander had consulted with his own lawyers. It was this situation that caused Mr. Hyde to be represented before Judge Maddox. DUKE TO LIVE IN DETROIT. New York High. 143 % 40% 56% 87% 90 April 11, 190!i Low.

Suspicions have been entertained for Tl long time by the federal officials connected with the investigation that the readiness with which the packing lirnis welcomed an examination of their books by tin? government experts was not altogether genuine.
