None of the accused or eye-witnesses can speak or understand the English language. What lit tle information has been obtained from them through an Interpreter Indicates that they have no conception of the proceedings in a court of justice and that they do not comprehend In the least the election of a President of tho United States when it was sought to have them cast votes last November. There are about sixteen of these Russians at the mine at Ehrmandale, and, while there are Poles and Hun garians and some Russians In the mines in this part of the State, this little community has been of itself and apart, both in habits and language. Other Russians cannot un derstand them when they speak their native language. They are blondes, cleanly, hard working, and the storekeeper says the most honest customers he has at the mine. On election day a local party rallier named llolbert persuaded Anton Kataugh and Stanley Marshall (a name assumed after coming to this country) to go with him to the house of Enoch Gomolinskl to persuade him and his three boarders, Jde Jeemes, Antony Ganoske and Michael Grippe, to go to the polls.

Admits that He "Shifted" Millionaire Barton's 95'Jt0OO Will Appear in Criminal Court To-Day. CHICAGO, Feb. 24. Lant G. Salisbury, city attorney of Grand Rapids, Mich., who" was indicted by tne Cook county grand jury last week, charged by Guy C. Barton, an Omaha millionaire, with confiscating $50,(KK), claimed by Barton, from a safety deposit vault in Chicago, was in conference here with Barton and other Interested parties to-day, trying to compromise their dif ferences. Salisbury arrived in Chicago late last night with a party of lawyers and private detectives. Some time after midnight they appeared at the Grand Pacific Hotel, and here they remained all day to-day behind closely guarded doors, but un to a late hour t0.nlght It was salJ they had been unable to reach a satisfactory agreement. The mysterious transactions of which the Indictment of the Grand Rapids attorney is an outcome, according to a statement made by one of the attorneys in the case, involves a 51.000,000 contract, which it was proposed to let In connection with a new system or water works ior orana Rapids. Barton, it Is said, was a bidder for the contract. According to the statement of the lawyer, the $50.OiX in question was to be used by Salisbury in furthering the Interests of the contractor, trlends or the Grand Rapids man state that he took the money out of the original vault, where it had been deposited in escrow by Barton and himself, and deposited lt In another of his own selection, "merely as a matter or self-protection." The box in the vault is said to have been rented In the name or William Woods, and it was owing to this fact that the Indictment was returned against "one Salisbury, alias William Woods." Lawyer W. S. Forrest, who has been re tained by Mr. Salisbury, stated to-night that his client would stand trial under the indictment and that to-morrow he would be ready to go into the criminal court and give bond In any required sum for ni3 ap pearance for trial. Superintendent McGuire, of the detective agency, having the case in charge for Mr. Barton, was reticent when questioned as to the case to-night, but in timated that the SÖO.0U0 involved was no longer In the possession of Salisbury. The Record to-morrow will say: "Salis bury brought with him from Grand Rapids $50,000 In bills, which he borrowed, it is taid, from several persons after detectives had told him the nature of their visit to tho itv i"in Vila arrival Vi.r th1i mnnov was shown to the complainants In the case, r.nt Tvns ret.nlnl in tho rnss.sinn of SalIbbury. The original ijO.000 was deposited by Barton in a safety deposit vault in this citj. The purpose of Salisbury borrowing the money in Grand Rapids after he knew he was to be brought back to Chicago is said to have been to have the money to show or return if circumstances demanded. "None of the parties to the case would make a statement of the results of the all-day conference. Attorney General For rest, counsel for Salisbury, said: 'There is nothing to say about the case except that it is a whole lot of nothing. Salisbury will go from this hotel, where he Is practically in custody, straight to the office of the state's attorney In the morning. As between the parties Involved, there is nothing to settle. "State's Attorney Deneen said: 'There will be no quashing of the Indictment against Salisbury. The four witnesses who appeared before the grand Jury gave evidence sufficient, as I thought, to warrant the indictment. The case will be prose cuted regardless of any agreement which may be reached by the parties and any talk of adjustment out of court is unwarranted. DECKS ARE CLEAR. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) tests with the Senate. Some of these strug gles probably will be exceedingly fierce, but when It comes down to actual work, the House, although a large and unwieldy body ordinarily, can dispose of business under its rules with much greater celerity than the Senate. The last six days of the session are suspension days, and it Is always pos sible to bring the House to a vote on any proposition under a motion to suspend the rules, which provide for only twenty min utes debate upon a side. The time has practically gone by for the passage of new bills although an attempt doubtless will be made to secure action on the bills to promote the efficiency of the revenue cutter service and to create a standardizing bureau. Beyond these and a few small bills of local importance, no effort will be made to put through any new measure. The leaders know that it would be a waste of time to send any further gen eral legislation to the Senate at this stage of the session, and their efforts will be directed to clearing up matters in dispute between the two houses. It probably will be necessary to hold night sessions during the latter part of the week and both houses will sit next Sunday to continue the legislative day or Saturday, which expires at noon on March 4. Revenue Conferees in Session. "WASHINGTON, Feb. 24. The Republican conferees on the war revenue reduction bill were in conference at the Capitol for some time to-day.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21.-J. C. Holland, third officer of the Rio de Janeiro, who on the day of the wreck was among the missing, has reported, to the surprise and delight of his friends, unharmed.

He was on the wharf and around the beach when the disaster occurred, but his presence was not noted. After the Rio struck upon the reef Holland assisted Captain Ward in getting the passengers into the lifeboats. He and the captain walked aft together on the starboard side, and just as they reached the saloon the boat gave a lurch and disappeared beneath the water. Holland was carried down by the suction, but managed to secure hold of a life preserver, which assisted him to rise to the surface, but not until he had been almost strangled by the salt water. Being an expert swimmer, he succeeded In keeping afloat until picked up by an Italian fisherman. Holland has relatives residing in New York. Posolbly n. Victim of tlie Wreck. SYRACUSE, N.

Strong: .Speeches Made for and Aaalnst the Americans Flowers for Gen. and Mrs. Wood, HAVANA, Feb. 21. Independence day vir relehrafed with Drocesslons. mass meetings and general demonstrations of re Jolclngs. This morning there was a parade of 10,000 school children bearing Cuban flags. They were reviewed by prominent politi cians. General and Mrs. Wood were showered with flowers by the children as they passed. The Republican party held a meeting in the Tacon Theater. Senor Capote, who pre sided, said there was never more need than now to be quiet. The1 United States was the only country that had helped Cuba In her time of trouble, and he did not believe that the Washington" government was now deceiving the Cubans. The work of inter vention was long and difficult, but in his opinion everj-thlng would be settled satis factorily to the people of the island. Senor Zayas gave a revolutionary tone to his remarks by asserting that the present Cuban leaders should Imitate the martyrs of the past. He declared that the "trick which the Americans have been playing upon the Cubans is the cause of the non development of the island." He predicted that the end of all would be dissatisfaction, adding that independence could only be nt talned by the machetes of liberators. "Cuba," he exclaimed, "should be preserved for the glories of the Latin race." Senor Juan Gualberto Gomez arraigned the advocates of annexation as traitors to the cause of Cuba. He said he had more faith in independence now than he had In 1SDG, and that the United States could not rob Cuba of independence unless by a force of oUO.000 men. Speaking of the future rela tions between Cuba and the United States he said that this matter was only a mere detail; that all the Independent principles were embodied In the constitution, and that in spite of recent declarations to the con trary he believed everything would be set tied in conformity with Cuba's demand for Independence in the near future. At the meeting of the National party the speakers were Senor Bravo. Senor Lacret and Senor Alfredo Zayas, the last named opposing the proposal to grant the United States naval stations In Cuba.

GERMAN AMERICAN VETERANS. Annual Celebration at the South Side Turner Hall. The German-American Veterans' Society celebrated Washington's birthday and its twenty-seventh anniversary In the South Side Turner's Hall last night, assisted by the Indianapolls Liederkranz, the South Side Turnverein, and Relnhold Miller's orchestra. The audience was large, filling tho large hall, which can be converted into a commodious assembly room. The programme was divided into three parts, opening with American airs by the orchestra. Capt. J. L. Bieler delivered an address, giving a short sketch of the Veterans' Society and a sketch of the life of Washington. After his address he was presented with a gold medal by Captain Scholl on behalf of, the society. A tableau, In iemoriam," was the next number on the programme, show ing a bust of Washington with figures standing on either side. The posing was almost like statuary and brought forth much applause. The Liederkranz then sang "How ' Did I Love You," and a class of girls of the Turnverein, ranging in age from twelve to fifteen years, gave an exhibition drill with bar bells. Their maneuvering and exercise was in time to music, and their white blouses and dark skirts, as they wheeled in stars and figures, had a pretty effect. The "Grand International," a medley, which opened the second part of Pie programme.especially appealed to the audience, it began with American airs, the "Starspangled Banner," merged Into "Die Wacht am Rhein" In such a pleasing harmony that the audience lost sight of the hyphenated word "German-American." Following tlits came the national airs of all countries of Europe and ended with the ever inspiring "Yankee Doodle." The appropriate-r-m.-ss of the music was manifested by the way It was appreciated. The next tableau wan ''Washington's Farewell to tne Army." This production requires twenty or more actors, who were attired in colonial cos tume and powdered wig. Miss Alma Bernd sang a solo, "The Prairie Grave," Willi violin obllgato by Theodore Bernd, and the Llrderkranz finished the second part with -O Worlu, How Wonderful You Are." The orchestra began the third part of the programme with "The Burgomaster," which wan followed by a scene from the bit tie of Spottsylvania Court House, May 12, 1S61. In thb scene the actors were well coj.urm? 1 in blue and gray, with the Stars and Stripes lloatlng over all. Miss Laura La.t.s sang a soio, "Asleep In the Deep." the orchestra played "The Belle of Bohemia," and the evejiing's entertainment c'ohJ wi'.i another beautiful tableau. Each number on the programme received curtain calls. It has been the custom of the GtimnnAmerican Veterans Society to celebrate WaAington's birthday each year, and not one has passed since the organization vt tl.e 8.cty that a salute was not fired ar neon .n the twenty-second day of February and some sort of a programme carried out on that day or later, a3 suited the convenience of the society.
