Detectives Capture Exited New York, April 13.—When the doors of New York's latest and largest playhouse, the Hippodrome, were thrown open for the first time at 7 o'clock lust night a huge placard on trestles was disclosed in the lobby. On it in big letters was the announcement £'AU seats sold. No standing room." That was a fact. Every seat and box on the first floor and balcony had been disposed of hours befofe the opening. The majority of the boxes, of course, had gone off at the auction, where John W. (Jates. Chnuncey M. Depew and other men had paid prices ranging from $350 to $575 apiece for boxes.

Mr. Frlck In addition to announcing definitely the jwrpose of the committee to put on the inquisitorial rack officers and employees of the society from the highest to the lowest instructed Mr. Alexander to inform such witnesses the committee would see no harm should come to them, no matter in which direction their testimony should cut. New York, April 13.—Under the white lights of the tenderloin, a wild revel, which began at 11 o'clock last night, ended in riot and murder just before dawn today.

A great audience of more than O.fKtO persons, representative of all classes, from millionaires in the boxes to men and women of ordinary means and social condition in the less expensive seats. A stage whose vast proportions are such as New York had not seen before. A performance that iucluded toilet, circus and spectacle, all on so gigantic a scale that it almost brought the people to their feet, at moments in their enthusiasm. Those were only some of the more salient points in the inauguration last evening of Messrs. Thompson it Dundy's New York Hippodrome, situated In Sixth avenue. Forty-third and Forty-fourth streets. "While I am governor." lie said, "no special bill legalizing the securities of any railroad company as a proper investment for savings hanks and trust funds will be approved by me." Strong color was given to the report by the fact thnt E. B. Fish, who is connected with the Schwarfcscliild & XiUzberger company in an important capacity, returned to the city from Canada with a secret service operator as a traveling1 companion and spent practically the entire day closeted with the district attorney, Assistant Attorney General Pagin and the grand jurors. After he had given testimony in- the grand Jury room for more than two liours he was Jaken to the district attorney's office on the fifth floor and there guarded by a secret service operator until the grand jury adjourned. It was lacking a few minutes of 11 o'clock last night when eight young men went into Toby's bar. They were all well dressed, had plenty of money and drank freely together up to one o'clock. Then they went down to the rathskeller, where there was music and singing, and, seated at a table, continued their debauch. A handsomely dressed young woman soon entered the place. She was attracted by the gay laughter of the men and, upon invitation, joined them. She ordered a bottle of wine quickly, and then came six more bottles in sue- Governor Iliggins recommended in his message the passage of a general hill defining the character of the securities in which sayings banks might invest, and lie favtors the bill as it stood before tlie banking committee inserted the amendment.

He is with the renin inciter of the fleet which passed through the Malacca straits last Saturday. The commander of the Sutlej reports that on Tuesday, just after daylight, he TAFT HAS REPLY.

Washington, April IS.—The text of President Castro's reply to Minister Bowen is now before Secretary Taft, who lias determined not to send it to the president, but to take it under consideration himself. It is said that the communication fills the description conveyed by Minister Bowen in his cablegram as to the form of expression which he declared to be insolent. With seventy-threp votes in favor.

Although the endeavor was made to convey the impression that this man, who was subpoenaed early in the investigation, had returned to Chicago voluntarily or on the receipt of a message from his firm, the fact is that he was seized by secret service men in Detroit. He was known to be in Canada, and the government men had been watching for weeks for liim to cross the line. tricts Manchesters Returning to England, Bernard Doyle, one of the proprietors of the place, asked the young men to behave themselves but they only laughed at him. At this moment another woman entered the place and spoke to the blonde woman 011 the table, addressing her as May Johhson.frequent The reply was submitted in writing and by Castro's minister of foreign affairs. It was in answer not to a reipiesl preferred by Mr. Bowen in his own person, but to a formal note feigned by Secretary Hay.

New York, April 1.1.—The I)uke and Duchess of Manchester, accompanied by Eugene Zimmerman, arrived In this city from Cincinnati. It is stated the duke after a trip abroad to settle up affairs on his Irish estate will return to this country to engage in the railroad business. Mr. Zimmerman, his fatherin-law, is president of the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton railroad. Mr. Frick also made it plain to Mr. Alexander the committee intended to investigate thoroughly the question of nepotism within the society by asking for Information covering this point: Fish, it is suid, left eight more Schwarxscblld & Sulzberger men In Canada, where they were called suddenly the day after the investigation began. The life of the beef trust exiles appeared from Fish's story to consist of billiards, smoking, reading and traveling from city to city. They bad planned to. snil for Europe within a few days. "Who of the employees .are related by blood or marriage to any of the directors, principal officers or heads of departments, the degrees of such relationship and the officer or head of department to whom related? If any such persons are employed in services outside the offices and ordinary departments and agencies, give at length the facts connected therewith—name of the person, the one who employed lilui, the reason for the employment, the salary paid and how long such employment lias lasted." "Drive her away, 'Red'." said the blonde playfully, to one of the men. The man addressed arose and struck the newcomer, and then the fighting With any other country the situation would be serious, but this sort of thing is so common in dealing with Venezuela that it excites no surprise and does not seem likely to lead to very serious results, at least at present. Nothing is to be done about it for a few days at any rate, when Secretary Taft will decide whether the matter calls for acton or can lie postponed until the president's return. began In earnest Gadsden, Ala., April 13.—Two miners, Bob Heald and Horace Williams, were found dead in a coal mine near here.

Ho.jestvensky must have passed through the Stitula straits unobserved with the Knlaii Soubareff, Borodino. Orel and Alexander III. The other battleships are the Slava, Xavarin and Sissoy Veliky. He reports that three armored cruisers and' six protected cruisers were in the fleet. Their course would take them toward French Indochina. and their gait was about seven knots an hour. They were then well north of the (Jreat Xatunas Island and UK) miles northeast of the Anambas islands, therefore making it still more unlikely that any battle was fought as described. The British commander's report is significant. It proves the squadrons are not divided and that the Russian commander evidently intends to keep his fleet together from this time forward.
