Man's Pocket.

Chicago, Feb. 22.--A murder believed tobe the result of a vendetta, was committedlate last night near Grand and Milwaukeeavenues. Salvatore Giovanna was foundshot through the heart. Carlo Battista,who recently arrived from New York, wasstanding over him. Battista says he andthe murdered man were warm friends, andthai while on the way to Giovanni's home,they were attacked by three men.

Battista was not injured. He carried arevolver, which had not been fired. lr thedead man's coat pocket, was a revolver,from which three shots had been fired.In his pockets also were many counterfeitcoins.

Giovanni, one of the most prominentItalians in Chicago, was a member ofseveral secret societies. He came herefrom New York, seven years ago. Thepolice believe that he was the victim ofthe Mafia and that he was murdered withthe weapon found on him. Battista is heldpending investigation.

Within five hours after the murder thepolice raided a house at 141 Milton ave-nue and arrested nine Italians, said to besympathizers of the Chicago branch ofthe .\kfla society. The persons arrestedare: Dominic Catalan, Nofel Philip, Ra-fael Lita. Capalnan Makea. Nalkaer Erna,John Ronte, Simon Rafael. Tony Spargnoand Joseph Mariso.

Joseph Mariso has a severe bullet woundin the mouth. The nine men were hud-•:. 1 in a small room. In the room werefound numerous dirks, stillettos and re-volvers.

A deposition in the divorce case of Dr.Ralph Cundovo against Oolinda Gondovo,TOO S Fourth street. St.. Louis, was foundon the dead man. Ie is believed that Gio-vanni was acting as agent for some attor-ney, and this may have had something todo with the plot to end his life.

Giovanni and Battista were friends inItaly. For seven years Giovanna was alabor contractor in New York and Boston.Three years ago he came to Chicago andconducted a cigar store on Polk street.

Six months ago he engaged in the restau-rant business. He had considerablemeans.

At 3 o'clock this morning, one of theprisoners said the members of the bandbelonged to an organization known as theSicilian order and that Mariso was thepresident of the order.

Motive for the Murder.

A clew- to the motive for the murder•was found among the letters in Giovanni'spockets. One of these, written by a manin St. Louis, spoke of a murder commit-ted in Mulberry street. New York, to\u25a0which Giovanni was a witness. The the-ory of the police is that Giovanni wasmurdered to prevent his appearance at thetrial. Letters found in the murderedman's pockets showed that he had beensummoned east as a witness.

The Mafia society is mentioned in thecase, but as yet there is no evidence di-rectly implicating that society.

In connection with the murder, the sa-loon of Frank Moiicl, 57 Grand avenue,was raided to-day by the police. Theproprietor and ten inmates were arrested.

%on the Cuban Question.

DECLARATION OF THE RELATIONS

(oiiKrok May Submit It tv the Cuban« onstitul ional ton-

veutiun.

.From The Journal Bureau, Room 48, JPobIBuilding, Washington.

Washington, Feb. —A growing senti-ment is observed in congress to the effectthat perhaps it would be just as well ifno war revenue reduction were made atthis session. The wisdom of taking offbetween $40,000,000 and $50,000,000 of reve-nue is doubted in many quarters, and may ;ultimately control, if the house,and sen-ate conferees do not speedily agree.

The interests pressing for immediate ac-tion are the brewers and tobacco dealers.They are both deeply interested, as morethan one-half the taxes proposed to betaken off will be. for the express; relief ofthe brewers and tobacco men.

A year from now all the revenue that israised under the existing law may beneeded, and as long as there are bonds to

be paid off, it is beginning to be urgedthat there is no necessity for action atthis session. If a deficit should developa year from now. owing to troubles inCuba, or for any other reason, the repub- jlican leaders would become the laughing istock of the country. None of the blame jcould be put on the administration, forit is distinctly recommended that notmore than $30,000,000 be taken off fromthe revenues, while the bill that passed

j the house would make a reduction of$40,000,000, and according to Mr. Allison,

jthe senate bill will take off from $45,000,---000 to $50,000,000.

There is deep significance in the sugges-

| tion of well-informed members of bothI made since the conferees have been dead-i locked, that the war revenue ought not tobe reduced until it is known definitely

what the final solution of the Cuban prob-lem is to be. •

It is believed that an extra session toconsider the Cuban question will be calledfor March 18 or 25. Senators, who havehitherto been directing all their efforts tosecure the abandonment of the extra ses-sion idea have desisted and now talkabout the convening of congress as a set-tled fact. -. ...^.u-,. . • -. :

While the Cubans will, in all probabili-ty, accept some of the suggestions as totheir relations with this country whichhave been made by the president, it doesnot seem likely that a full solution of theproblem can be made by the constitutionalconvention. The president expects, there-fore, to call to the attention of congress,in the message which he will submit atthe beginning of the extra session, thenecessity which has arisen for a completeoutlining of the policy of the UnitedStates toward Cuba.

It is known the constitution will notcontain any reference to American rela-tions, but these will be expressed in asupplemental convention. Congress willbe asked to ratify or amend this declara-tion and in the meantime United Statestroops will remain in the island. Thepresident does not believe that upon'himalone should be placed the responsibility jof deciding upon the relations with Cuba.

The serious character of the problemvs appreciated by the utter lack of unanimi-ty among senators as to the best methodof its solution. All agree, however, thatthe situation is critical and that it pre-sents many new and novel features, whichwill require most careful consideration.

Many senators are opposed to any decla-ration in a Cuban constitution, on theground that such a document could be,and probably would be, amended withoutwarning to the United States. They pre-fer some treaty stipulation, which wouldbe a binding contract, but they realizethat no treaty can be negotiated withoutrecognizing the Cuban government.

Taking the attitude of ihe United Statestoward the South American republics asa precedent, it is found that no treatywas ever negotiated with any of thosegovernments until formal recognition hadbeen granted.

#The necessity of deliberate action beforerecognizing any government in Cuba isfully appreciated, and it may be that thedilemma will be met by declaration towhich the Cuban convention will be askedto give its assent. This declaration willset forth the well-known conditions whichthis government will require to be ob-served, including sites for naval stationsan agreement that no treaties will bemade with foreign nations without thesanction of this country, and that no debtswill be placed in Europe.

While these provisions are under con-sideration the troops will probably remainin the island.

The president is of the opinion that thework of the extra session can be speedilyconcluded, provided the entire time isdevoted to the consideration of Cubanaffairs- —W. W. Jermane.

TAXATION OF BOATSMinnesota and Wisconsin Legislat-

ors Discuss the Qnestion.

TRI-STATE ACTION IS PROPOSED

Michigan Will Be Invited to JoinWith WiHconnln and Minne-sota in I nlform Legislation.

Every condition that surrounds vessel!taxation was discussed this morning at theconference at the Windsor jhotel betweenjWisconsin and Minnesota legislators. Thevisitors, with the exception of Representa-tive August Vinn, of Milwaukee, arrivedlast night. Senator E. G. Mills,' of WestSuperior, and Representative Henry Over-beck, of Sturgeon Bay, with Mr. Vinn,make up Wisconsin's commission.

The conference this -morning made Sena-tor Mills chairman and RepresentativeLaybourn, of Duluth, secretary. The ses-sion was executive, but it may be said that ithe Wisconsin men reviewed the variousattempts in that state to bring shippingwithin the domain of the taxing power.This was followed by a proposition thatMinnesota and Wisconsin adopt some mu-tually satisfactory program -which wouldallow a maximum rate to be imposed with-out driving the vessel owners to ports out-side of the two states. The necessity forcommunicating with the Michigan legisla-ture then became apparent, inasmuch asvessel taxation is being considered at thistime by that body. It was decided to in-form the Michigan legislative authoritiesof what was proposed. The conference thenadjourned, subject to the call of the chair-man.

Senator Mills," with his two colleagues,left on the afternoon train for the head ofthe lakes.No Increase on Wisconsin Registry.

Some interesting facts were disclosedduring the discussion.' It was claimed bythe Wisconsin lawmakers that within thelast five years tonnage on the lakes haddoubled, notwithstanding which fact therehad been practically no increase in theregistry list of any port in Wisconsin.During this time practically 240 vesselshave taken out registration in Duluth, atotal of 300,000 tons in round numbers.

At the present time there are two billsbefore the Wisconsin legislature provid-ing for vessel taxation. One is an exactcopy of the Minnesota law of 1895, savethat the rate is reduced from three centsa ton to ne cent. Up to 1895, Wisconsinapplied local assessment to all shipping.Subsequently a plan was evolved wherebythe value of the vessel was made the basisfor the tax. This porved so defective inoperation that the law was repealed atthe last session. The necessity for con-sultation which Michigan is emphasizedby the fear of Wisconsin and Minnesotastate officials that to impose a heaviertax at the head of the lakes will drive allvessels to some Michigan port, or else toNew York.

The biennial report of the Minnesotastate auditor shows that during hte lastyear and a half there has been collectedfrom vessels registered at Duluth some-thing over $11,000. This is not a largeamount, but the tax itself by no meansrepresents the benefit accruing from alarge, registry list. Vessels ordinarily win-ter at the port from which they hail,end to have several fleets shored at Du-luth means heavy expenditures of moneyin several directions. There is always anitem ofr repairs during the winter, : an-other for new supplies, and : still anotherfor the men employed. And, incidentally,there is the advertising derived from hav-ing a vessel carry the name of its. homeport wherever it tseams. ,

The Minnesota law of 1895 was enactedat th« instance of prominent Duluth busi-ness men, who at that time were anxiousto have at least one of the large lakefleets register in Duluth. They were sosuccessful in their representations tovessel owners after the bill had beenpassed that a heavy tonnage was removedfrom Buffalo to Duulth.

Hamilton's Attorneys Will Ask ItWhen Sentence It» Pronounced

•\u25a0l-• -\u25a0-\u25a0- —Prisoner Is Not Well.

R is practically certain that Judge

Brooks will pass entence on Frank Hamil-ton next Monday morning. -It rests en-tirely with the court to take action in thismatter and there is ho disposition on thepart of Mr. Hamilton or his counsel tomake any suggestions. Xeither is Coun-ty Attorney Boardman particularly inter-ested.

Court will be in session to-morrow, ofcourse, but the judges for the most partwill be occupied with special term mat-ters in the morning and in the afternoonthey rarely return to the courthouse.Then, again, Jndge Brooks likes to sleepover his decisions, even after he hasmade up his mind, and in this case, towhich attaches much public interest andwhich is of such a serious character, hewill take ample time. For these reasonsit may fairly be expected that Hamiltonwill not be sentenced until Monday morn-ing. Without having heard from thecourt in any way, R. L. Penney does notexpect further action until Monday,though he will not be surprised if Hamil-ton is ordered to appear some time to-morrow.

The prisoner is in pretty bad condition,though his distress is of a physical natureand not mental. A persistent cough rackshis body, producing a general weakness,and food, even of the daintiest kind, isnot retained in his stomach. With suchphysical ailments he could not be in acheerful.

His spirit is undaunted, however,and hisfaith in his own innocence has in no wisebeen shaken by

tthe verdict of the jury.

In the main he "takes what fate has al-lotted to him philosophically and greetshis numerous friends cordially when theycall. Any intimation that he is breakingdown mentally is resented most emphat-ically.

Hamilton held a long consultation thismorning with his attorneys, Robert LPenney and Frank M. Xye. That theywere planning for the future is probablytrue, but what line of action was agreedupon Mr. Penney declined to say It i«assumed that an effort to secure a newtrial will be made and the first step willdoubtless be taken at the time sentenceis passed, with a request for a stay ofsentence for twenty or more days

T.Lincoln's admission in an interview thathe smoked 400 cigars in fourteen days.If the other members of the jury, she saysare addicted to "the same dissipated habit,their verdict should be set aside as in-competent."

"They were in about as fit mental con-dition," she goes on. "after the nicotineimbibed by smoking 400 cigars in fourteendays to arrive at a just and intelligentverdict as were the drunken witnesses inthe Hamilton case to give truthful and in-telligent testimony.

San Francisco, Feb. 22.—The steamer

Rio de Janiero, Captain Ward, from theorient and Honolulu, struck on a rockearly to-day just outside the Golden Gateand sank in twenty minutes. The loss of

life is estimated from 50 to 150. Thesmokestack and a part of the pilot houseare above water.

The steamer had been lying off theheads all Dight, an unusually heavy fogpreventing her from entering the harbor.At 5 o'clock this morning she weighedanchor and headed for the city in chargeof Pilot Frank Jordan.

Shortly afterwards the vessel struck ahidden rock, and Pilot Jordan shouted forall on board to take to the boats.

Wildest confusion prevailed, the passen-gers and crew a^ike scrambled for theboats and many jumped overboard.

Captain Ward ordered several of theboats alongside and the ladies of the cabinand some of the male passengers wereplaced in them. The boats were mannedby part of the crew and headed citywards.

Only Three Boats.

So far as known but three of the ship'sboats left the vessel.

Juror Pabndy Agree* With Her.Miss C. has the sympathy of Juror Pa-

body and should promptly tender him anapology for including him with the othereleven devotees of the "weed."

Miss C. should know, and in justice thisis intended to let her know, that TheJournal has it from that young manin a public statement made this morning,that he is the only one of the twelve wHodoes not use tobacco.

Mr. Pabody looks wan and worn. Hesaid that he was feeling all out of sorts,but that fresh air was rapidly bringinghim back to health.

Just as Miss Taxpayer says, his col-leagues on the jury are all inveteratesmokers. They smoked from morn tilldewy eve. Mr. Pabody began to gasplike a flsh out of water the very first dayof close confinement. Unable longer tostand the strain, he made for the window

iwhich o£>ens on the courthouse court, and

On board the Rio de Janeiro were twen-ty-nine cabin passengers, 150 in the steer-age and 140 in the-vrew.

Tugs and other small boats quickly putout from this city, and a number alreadyhave returned with large numbers of therescued.

< oiimul Wildmau Lost.

It is almost certain that United StatesConsul Wildman of Hong Kong, his wifeand two children are among the lost.Nothing has been seen of the family sincethe vessel struck the rock.

Purser John Rooney is missing and allof his papers are believed to have gonedown with the vessel. Unless he is foundalive or his pouch recovered, it will beimpossible to determine the total loss oflife'until the agents of the company inthe orient and in Honolulu can communi-cate their passenger lists.

One of the rescued passengers gives itas his belief that the loss of the vesselwas caused by the explosion of her boil-ers.

* These Are Saved.

was in the act of elevating it when Mr.Oakley said: "No!"

Xo Fresh Air for Oakley.

Mr. Oakely was one of the most influ-ential members of the jury. Besides, hehas gray hairs and insisted on being re-spected. He explained that he was verysusceptible to colds and that a draughtfrom the window would probably lay himlow with pneumonia and incapacitate himfrom further juryservice.

Mr. Pabody, still gasping, at first ex-postulated. Then out of deference to thefather of the jury, he took his hands offthe window.

Since then for fourteen days and nightshis martyrdom has been something; ter-rible —one of the sublimest spectacles ofself-sacrifice in the history of juries,where twelve men heretofore unknown toeach other are suddenly brought togetheron the most intimate terms that couldexist between bosom friends.

The smoke irritated his throat and hiseyes and kept him blowing, sneezing andhacking during all of his captivity. Andthrough it all, the windows were'kept shutby order of Mr. Oakley.
