SENATOR HOAR DECLINES. Gltes Ilrntont fur I'nvr lllititf nemm to IIuloKlzr President McKinley. VVORCESTKR. Mass.. Oct. 2S. Mayor Philip J. OConnell to-night sent to the City Council the letter of Senator George I Hoar, asking to be permitted to decline the invitation to eulogize. President McKinley. In the course of hi3 letter Senator Hoar refers to the fact that he will be extremely busy the next few weeks, but If business was the only reason he should endeavor to overcome it. Continuing, he says: "But I ought in frankness to state another and even stronger reason. I think the eulogy on the President should be delivered by sonn person who was in full accord with him on the principal political measure's of his administration. I never questioned his absolute sincerity, his devotion to the public welfare, his love of liberty and ills desire to do his duty as God gave him to see it. I was fully in accord with him on the great fiscal policy in which he was Identified. But, as you know, I differed with him and his administration and my opinion on that subject has been strengthened and not weakened In the lapse of time in regard to hi3 policy In dealing with the Philippine Islands."

Garman, however, came to Grand Rapids, and he swears that after he arrived here Nichols again negotiated with him, seeking to have hlrn change his testimony so as to free Salsbury.

CONFERRED WITH MR. ALDRICH AM) roi'M) TIIL SR.NATOICS YIKWS ACCOHHRI) WITH HIS OW.. Expert Connniiotion to Investigate AH I'haaen of lleeinroelt' Proponed to the President. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON. Oct. 2S. Light has commenced to break in upon the reciprocity situation, and a new line of thought is being worked out. As President Roosevelt delves into the problem he discovers moie and more the impracticability, if not the impossibility, of putting the existing treaties of reciprocity through the Senate. They were all too hastily drawn by Mr. Kasson, and In some instances they were drawn under a misconception of their supposed advantages. So President Roosevelt finds that the whole subject must be gone at from a new and broader standpoint there must be a very' careful study of each treaty drawn, or proposed to be drawn, and this study must be made on a strictly economic basis. When the President had his conference to-day with Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, who fought the Kasson treaties, and who is an authority of high standing on tariff matters, he found that Mr. Aldrich's objection to the existing treaties was based on their looseness, and not on opposition to the principles of real reciprocity with other nations. The protectionists in the government and there are no other men in the governmentare gradually coming to the conclusion that reciprocity is such an involved question, its principles so complex and farreaching, that in order to properly get at it there ought to be appointed a tariff and reciprocity commission, composed of the very highest tariff and international trade experts to be found in the United States. The work of this commission would be to study out and suggest to the State Department lines upon which reciprocity treaties might bo drawn with other nations without abandonment of the principle of protection and without considerable damage to any American interest. It is bflieved that Senator Aldrich favors this course, and that he has suggested it to the President. The American Protective Association, which bitterly opposes reciprocity, favors it, and several of the leading members of the Sonate have spoken well of the plan. For one thing this plan would make congressional action necessary, and after that must come extensive investigations by the commission, , which would put off actual reciprocity for from one to three or four years. The protectionists nearly all believe this delay would be a very good thing, for by that time the actual trade conditions, as between the United States and the ret oi the world, will have developed this government will then know whether the talk of European' trade retaliation is serious or not, which is a very imiortant point in determining what concessions the United States must give in making treaties of reciprocity. The outlook at present is more than ever against any action being taken on reciprocity treaties during the coming session of Congress, although there will be, as a matter of course, some steps toward ultimate reciprocity. ... st'PitKMi; coi jit i)i:cisio. Case of Importance to Policy Holder and Insurance Companies. WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.-Or.ly one decision was rendered in the United States Supreme Court to-day. It was the case of Fred A. McMasters, administrator of F. L. McMasters, formerly a resident of the State of Iowa. The case Involved the question us to whether an insurance policy goes into effect on the date of the application for it or when the policy is delivered. In this instance the application was made on Dec. 12, 1S33, and the policy was delivered on Dec 16, 1S03, when the premium was paid. Provision was made for grace of a month In the matter of the payment of the second policy. McMasters died Jan. IS, lStf. six days after the expiration of the month of grace if It was to be computed from Dec. 12, or eight days before its expiration, computing It from the Toth of December, the anniversary of the delivery of the premium. The Supreme Court uccided that the grace began one year after the delivery of the premium, thus holding the policy to be good. The opinion of the Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth circuit was reversed. The cases of Benjamin D. Greene. John F. Gaynor, William T. Gaynor and Edward F. Gaynor were to-day assigned for argument in the United States Supreme Court on the 11th of November. These men are charged with conspiring with Captain Oberlin M. Carter to defraud the United States. The present proceeding is a habeas corpus, coming up to the Supreme Court from the District Court for the Southern district of New Y'ork. where a writ was denied. The purpose of asking the writ is to prevent the removal of Greene and the Gavnors to Georgia for trial. PEXXIES COUNTERFEITED. Several Peraona Arrested for Making: IIokus Copper Coin.

CZOLGOCZ'S LAST IIOIRS AWAKE SPENT IN REVILING PRIESTS. Damned the Church nnd Clerjry in Ills Final Interview with Ilrother nnd Ilrother-iii-Lavr. UNREPENTANT, UNC0NFESSED a WHEN 1111 FELL ASLEEP IN THE DEATH CIIAMIIEU LAST NIGHT. Said. tirulHy, He Had Nothing: to Reveal When Aftkcd to Tell Ilia Relative Everything. a AUBURN, N. Y., Oct. 2S.-Leon F. Czolgocz will have paid tribute with his life for the murder of President McKinley by 7:30 a. m. to-morrow and unless h& undergoes great change of heart and strength in the few hours of life left to him, he will go to the electric chair unconfessed and unrepentant. He suffered a slight nervous attack late to-day, but remained sullen and stoical up to the time the prison closed at 10 o'clock, lie refused to heed the words of the priests who came to urge spiritual preparation for death and declined to either re-embrace Roman Catholicism or renounce anarchy. Hence, unless he charges his mind, there will be no religious ceremony at the end. Czolgoez showed no strength of love for kin, nor did he turn to any of those higher considerations which ordinarily claim the thoughts of men occupying his position. He may have suffered untold torture, but, outwardly, he seemed sullen and indifferent. The State is not to surrender possession of his body and by sundown it will have been secretly Interred in ground controlled by the officials of Auburn prison. Waldek Czolgoez, brother of the murderer, foreseeing endless difficulties and possibly angry demonstrations as the result of an attempt to give the body ordinary burial, heeded the advice of the Superintendent of State Prisons Collins and Warden Mead and formally relinquished all claim to it. He merely stipulated that at the close of the autopsy all parts of the body should be buried. All chance of an unhappy and unfertunate sequel to the execution, either in displays of popular contempt or the exhibition of ghastly relics, is, therefore, finally preventeel. The plan of burning his clothing and papers will be carried out immediately after the execution. The electrical machine is ready for its work. Auburn Prison is carefully guarded, they city, is in its normal calm and there reem to be no circumstances standing in the way of the successful and expeditious execution of the law. DENOUNCED THE CHURCH. Czolgccz held his last two interviews tonight, the first with Superintendent Collins and the second with his brother and trother-In-law. Both tf the interviews were brief and the interviewers did most of the talking until the question of religion was mentioned, when Czolgoez broke from his seeming lethargy and violently denounced the church and the clergy and made his relatives promise there should be no service for him, living or dead. Prior to the late evening interviews Czolgoez reluctantly received Fathers Fud7inski and Hickey. It was late in the afternoon and occurred after he had once refused to meet them. When they reache-el the prison Superintendent Collins conveyed the request for an interview to the prisoner. Czolgoez sent back word that he did not care to see them, but the priests asked to see him despite his refusal. Superintendent Collins consented and personally escorted them to the cell. The priests remained with Czolgoez for three-quarters of an hour and earnestly pleaded with the prisoner to repent and pray for divine forgiveness. He rejected all their advances, however, and they regretfully withdrew. They told the prisoner they would hold themselves ready to answer a call from him at any hour of the night. It was 7 o'clock when Superintendent Collins went into the death house and tried to get the prisoner to talk to him. Although he remained in the cell some time, he was apparently not successful in getting anything material from him. At ü o'clock the brother and brother-in-law arrived, and Superintendent Collins took them down to the condemned man's ceil. There wa3 no demonstration when they met. Czolgoez merely stepped to the front of his steel cage and said: "Hello." The brother ventured to remark: "I wish you would tell us, Deon, who got you into this scrape." The assassin answered in a slow, hesitating manner: "No one. Nobody had anything to do with it but me." "That is not how you were brought up." said the brother, "and you ought to tell us everything now." "I haven't got anything to tell," he answered, in a surly manner. "Do you want to see the priests again?" asked his brother. DAMNED THE PRIESTS. He answered, with more vehemence than he had previously shown: "No, d n them. Don't send them here again. I don't 'want them." The brother-in-law interjected here: "That's right, Leon." Tho brother locked rather disturbed by the answer. Then, stepping up close to the bars, the condemned man said: "And elon't you have any praying over me when I'm dead. 1 don't want it. I dou't want any of their d d religion." There was a painful pause of a few minutes, and then the relatives resumed casual conversation with him. to which he replied In monosyllables until the brother-in-law suggested, much to Superintendent Collins's surprise, that he and the brother be permitted to witness the execution. Before the superintendent could reply Leon Czolgoez said: "Yes. Mr. Superintendent, let them see me killed." Superintendent Collins told the trio in emphatic terms that no such thing could be allowed and orderad them to say goodbye. Czolgoez walked to the back ot his cell, sat down on the edge of his cot, and dm not answer tho last farewell. When the relatives reached the warden's office they again renewed their request to see the execution, to which Mr. Collins replied: "Emphatically, no. Czolgoez will be killed at 7 o'clock to-morrow, and if you apply to the warden in the afternoon you may be able to see the body." The two men were then let out of the prison. A few minutes after they had left Superintendent Collinj received a telephone message from the chief of police of Cleveland announcing that the father of the convicted man had signed an agreement similar to the one tinned by the brother here this evening, giving the prison authorities the disposal of the body. The prison was absolutely quiet at 10 o'clock. A little crowd that had gathered about the main entrance at duk quickly disperseel without any suggestion from police or guards. The superintendent and warden retired at 10 o'clock, with the announcement that there would be 'nothing given out. and that no one would enter or leave the prison before to-morrow morning. Before the superintendent retired the death watch reported to him that Czolgoez was sleeping soundly. Beside the two regular men on the death watch in the corridor, an additional guard sat In Czolgocz's cell to-night. AGREEMENT AS TO THE IIOOV. Paper Slsned by Waldek Cz41rocz After Several Conferences. AUBURN, N. Y., Oct. 2S.-The body of Lean Czolgoez, the murderer of President McKinley, will not be removed from Auburn. Superintendent of State Prisons Cornelius V. Collins and Warden J. Warren Mead, after hours of controversy with Czolgocz's brother, succeeded in obtaining from- MELtte following relinquishment ot
the family claims to the remains when the executioner shall have finished his work: "I hereby authorize you. as warclen of Auburn prison, to dispose of the body of my brother, Leon F. Czolgoez. by burying it in the cemetery attached to the prison, as provided by the law of the State of New York. This request Is made upon the express understanding that no part of the remains will be given to any person or society, but that the entire body will be buried in accordance with the law In the cemetery attached to the prison." The resolution of Superintendent Collins to prevent sensation In th transportation and burial or cremation of the body of Czolgoez took new zest from two offers that were submitted to-day by men of questionable enterprise. A museum keeper in one of the largest Eastern cities tlegraphd hfm an offer of $3.vV0 spot cash for either the body or the garments of tht murderer, and the owner of a klnetoscope wired Warden Mead that ha would pay $2.000 for permission to take a moving picture of Czolgoez entering the death chamber. The superintendent also had his suspicions aroused as to the motives of some of the relatives of Czolgoez in seeking the body, in view of their poverty and the trouble and danger possible in connection with its removal and disposal. AGREEMENT FINALLY SIGNED. The superintendent chanced to meet Wa deck Czolgoez, brother of the murderer, as he was being escorted to the death cell shortly after his arrival, and at once took the matter up with him. He asked Czolgoez if he wanted the body. He said he did. Collins then told him that he did not believe it could be removed without serious trouble, and strongly ad vise-el him against the attempt. The plan to take it to Buffalo, where Czolgoez assassinated the President, he regarded as particularly dangerous. Collins discussed the matter from tUe standpo.nt of the Czolgoez family, and said they would surely avoid serious annoyance and possibly violence by consenting to burial here. He assured Waldek Czolgoez that the. family could attend, that they would be protected, and that the body would be. given decent burial. Czolgoez was obdurate, however, and Collins finally told him that if there was a well-grounded suspicion as to the motive in claiming the bily he would refuse to surrender it, law or no law. Czolgoez then scemeel incline! to give in. and went with the superintended to the office of Warden Mead, where a paper relinquishing all claim on the body was drawn. While it was being prepared Collins called up the chief of police of Cleveland and asked him to discuss tho matter with Czolgoez senior. Collins asked that the situation be fairly stated to the father and that if he agreed a telegram of relinquishment be signed by him at once. The Cleveland police expressed the hope that the body would never be sent to that city. When the superintendent submitted the instrument relinquishing all claim to the body Czolgoez refused to sign it until he had an opportunity to advise with Waldek Thomas Bandowski, his brother-in-law, who was the leader of the plan to secure the body. He promised a final answer at 7 o'clock, when he was to call with Bandowski for a final visit to the condemned man. Collins agreed to send for him, but would not let the brother leave the prison. Finally he was. at o'clock informed that the people at the Buffalo crematory would not accept the body and Superintendent Collins at once pointed out to him that he would have the body on his hands. At a few minutes past 6 he agreed to sign and it was decided to bury the body in the prison. The agreement signed prohibits any portion of the body being removed from the prison and this will be strictly enforced. SLIGHT NERVOUS ATTACK. Czolgoez suffered a slight nervous attack
late this afternoon, but the prison officials did not regard it In the light of a breakdown and adhered to the belief that he will go unfalteringly to the chair and death. Dr. Carlos F. MacDonald and Prison Physician Gerin visited the cell at 6 o'clock. They found the prisoner suffering from extreme nervousness that manifested itseJf in dilated eyes and free flowing perspiration. When they finished the examination the prisoner turned sullenly from them and retired into the corner of his cell, refusing to talk. They gave him no treatment and were of the opinion that while he was verynervous he uiu not show signs of absolute collapse. Czolgoez had just concluded a lengthy interview with Fathers FudzinskI and Hickey. There had been considerable traffic in the corridor leading to the death chamber and the prison othcials were inclined to ascribe the disturbance of the prisoner to thefe circumstances. Aside from the break at nightfall Czolgoez spent his la3t day of life much as he did all the others since he passed into the hands of the law. Tho approach of death seemed to awaken no greater consciousness of hi3 position. He again turned Iiis back upon the priests who came to urge him to confess and repent, and was undemonstrative in the presence of those of his kin who came to say a last farewell to him. When alone with his guards he remained siient and passed the time either lying on his bunk or In slowly pacing up and down the cell. He talked when addressed to those admitted near his cell, but with his old deliberation and slowness. If he knew strong emotion at any time he was successful in concealing it from those who watched over him. The prison guards combated the suggestion that his stolidity was a daze of fear im that the hour of execution would find him helplessly broken down. The prisoner suffered no loss of appetite and during the day ate the usual allowance of food given to prisoners. Throughout his entire confinement he has had a good appetite and his physical condition has been excellent. He weighs about 155 pounds, which was thought to represent a slight gain since his arrest. Walter N. Thayer, former warden of Dannemora Prison, who was requested by Superintendent Collins to assist and advise Warden Mead during the execution, arrived to-day. He inspected the death chamber and chair and suggested an improvement in the latter, which was made at once. He found that the bars of the back of the chair were rather far apart, and expressed the opinion that an upright back board placed inside the bars could strengthen the grip of the straps upon the tody of the condemned man. The suggestion was adopted. While Tha. er was inspecting the chair Electrician Davis again Ltted the switch and sent the electric current through it in final test. Davis also placed new sponged at the leg and head electrodes. Late in the afternoon the autopsy table was wheeled into the room adjoining tho death chamber. Under orders from the warden, a coffin was also prepared. The latter is of plain pine, ftained black. Czolgoez will be dressed In a very simple manner for the execution, a pair öf black trousers, a loose gray shirt and a pair of gray socks completing the outfit. He will wear no undergerments and no shoes. The left leg of the trousers will be slit at the bottom to permit the free adjustment of the electrode and the shirt will be open at the neck. The doctors can take the heart count, if there should be any, after tho current is passed through the body. SHOWED LITTLE CONCERN. Family of the Aftuin Seemingly Wan Indifferent to HIn Fate. CLEVELAND, O., Oct. 2S.-The members of the family of Leon Czolgoez, who are in this city, show as little concern over the fate of their son and brother as if he bore no relation whatever to them. The seeming indifference is remarkable. Paul Czolgoez, the assassin's father, wt s called to police headquarters to-night on receipt of information from the prison officials at Auburn that they wished the elder Czolgoez to relinquish all claims to the body of his son. When assured that no 111 treatment would be given It and that it would be so disposed of that the body could not be mutilated the old man gave his consent. That the father of the assassin his become entirely indifferent, as to the fate of his son. or else does not realize the terrible penalty that he must undergo, is very evident. An incident that happened while on his way to his home in the Polish district this evening is of interest. A little newsboy hopped onto the car and cried out the evening papers, featuring as an inducement to buy the electrocution of Leon Czolgoez In Auburn prison to-morrow. He spokedirectly to the old man, but if he understood, he showed not the least sign of con sciousness that the matter in any way concerned him. He simply -tared Into space, and It is only fair to assume that the words of the newsboy were not understood. Czolgoez not being very familiar with the English language, grasping the most ordinary words only after much difficulty. When lie arrived at hi home the family had gone to bed and had to be aroused, that the father might be admitted. No weird, other than . telegram asking for 12". was re ceived by the family to-day from the brother. Waldek. and his brother-in-law, Bandowfrkl, who are in Auburn, and
the statement was made that these two men would probably leave Auburn for Cleveland Wednesday or Thursday.
Declined to Cremate the Hotly. BUFFALO. N. Y., Oct. 2. E. L. Brady, an undertaker of this city, received a telegram from Howard W. Cameron, an undertaker of Auburn, requesting him to take charge of the body of Leon F. Czolgoez 0:1 Its arrival here and to make arrangements for Its cremation. To-el.iy Mr. Brady telephoned to the office of the cremation company asking to have the crematory reserved for Wednesday for the cremation of Czolgocz's body. Later the cremation company askeel Mr. Brady to call, which ho eiid. and Secretary Metcalfe informed him that they would not permit the body e.f the assassin to be cremated there. Mr. Brady then sent the following telegram to Undertaker Cameron: "Buffalo Cremation Company refuses to cremate the remains eif the assassin of the President." KING EDWARD'S HEALTH NO CERTAINTY YET THAT HIS MAJESTY'S THROAT IS CANCEROIS. Repetition of Itumorw. However, Ha Had a DenreKsiiij? Effect 011 Court IlreMSinaUem, Who Fear Worst. a LONDON, Oct. 2$. The pcriinacity with which society discusses the rumors regarding the health of King Edward has had a serious effect upon the court dressmakers, who expected, ere now, to have been busily engaged on the coronation robes. They are keeping large staffs in almost complete idleness. The members of society have, apparently, made up their minds that they will not go to any expense until they feel sure that the coronation will really occur. There is a very clearly defined impression in the diplomatic corps that the King is threatened with some organic complaint. Some go so fur as to say it is cancer, or Bright' s disease, or both. Probably the truer solution is that the cancer rumor springs from the King's oft-expressed elread ed cancer, which has made such ravages in his own family, and that whatever ailment may threaten him, it has not reached any definite or dangerous stage, else he would be quite unable to keep up his incessant round of public duties ami private pastimes with the regularity and zest which he continues to display. In spite of these facts there is undoubtedly a very alarming premonition in court circles, especially among the women, that the King will never live to be crowneel, which, however, baseless or otherwise, is having a serious effect on trade. The favorite story in this connection now current is that a palmist told Queen Alexandra not long ago that she would never live to be crowned. NEW YORK. Oct. 2$. Commenting em the report that King Edward is suffering from cancer in the throat, the London correspondent of the Journal and Advertise r ays: "That the King has some ailment which has taken the color from his usually ruddy cheeks and given occasional enfeeblement to his gait, is umloubteel. The English papers, as a rule, e-arefully refrain from making allusions to his ailment and rather decline to speak of his good state of health, but the fact cannot be hng concealed that something serious is the matter with him. In the clubs, in high soc le ty and in the business circle s ef the city the- main topic daily is the King's condition. The old rumors, true or untrue, that the King is suffering from threatened aneurism of the aorta, have penetrated every eircie. It is Impossible to get at his physicians and inejuirles addressed to theise surrenmding him are met by dismal head-shaking. The government will soon be compelled to make tome authoritative statement." RUNNING RACES. Winners nt Aqueduct, La ton Li, LakeMlde and St. Louis. NEW YORK, Oct. 2$.

Jndgc Wheeler Hold an Iowa Statute to He Unconstitutional. CLARINDA, la., Oct. 28. Judge Wheeler In the District CourC to-day declared unconstitutional the law passed by the Twenty-eighth General Assembly prohibiting the sale of liquor shipped into Iowa from other States in original packages. Under this law liquor agents from Omaha who covered southwestern Iowa were arrested and fined in several counties. The Law and Onler League of Iowa has pusheel the prosecution of the alleged offenders. The agents combined to secure a ruling on the constitutionality of the law, setting up as grounds of unconstitutionality that it Interfered with interstate commerce-. The case probably will be appealed, and the league members say they will carry it to the United States Supreme Court. "Nonunion JIade" Not a Uar. HELENA. Mont., Oct. 2S. The Supreme Court to-day handed down an important decision Involving the question of the purchase of supplies manufactured by nonunion labor. A writ of mandamus was asked for against the board, which had awarded a contract for furniture for the new State-house to the Robert Mitchell Furniture Company of Cincinnati, but later rescinded the contract on the ground that the firm employed nonunion labor. Whne denying the wiit on a technicality, the court held that the fact that the company employed nonunion labor would not have absolved the board from pertormance of contract. Rev. T. J.

The final count shows that the total of all the property assessed for taxation in low.i th's year aggregates $.7iR,rvi$,2e3. against a total of J."2'..7r.7rD lat year.

The Iowa Republicans are fortunate 1n having Senator Knute Nelson to speak for them. The senator has a plain, homely way of talking to plain people that makes more votes than more showy speechifying. During his tour of the Dakotas last fall. President Roosevelt, then candidate for Vlca President, repeatedly reinarkeel that h tonsidred Senator Nelson the best votemaking talker he had ever hearel. Th senator has a way of discussing political fjueptions that causes his auditors to look upon lim as one of themselves, a man arguing with his friends in a straightforward, level-headed way. Made a Trap and Entered It. San Francisco Chronicle. A Boer commando has finally reached the Feacoast in the northwestern part of Cape Colony, but it is not clear how the burghera can prellt by the achievement, as the British navy holds the sea , and the army is closing up in the rear, and can bottle them at pleasure, and they are a thousand miles away from the main body of compatriots. They have apparently entered a trap if their own making.
