JACK THE STRANGLER. A Man Cnder Arrest Who May Be That Horrible Person. Denver, Col., November 19. At 11 o'clock last night the denizens of "Stranglers' Row" were startled by screams from 1130 Twentieth street.

In his possession the police found a dirk and a dagger. He was hurried off j to the county jail, where no one is al- j lowed to1 see him.

The Rocky Mountain News yesterday says that a syndicate is scheming- to obtain the price of the metal to Jill siiver'using ! countries, a conference was held in this j city last week, it is said, at which were j present Daniel Uug-g-enheim, of New York; Messrs. Barton and Nash, oi Omaha: Mr. Hanauer, of Salt Lake, and Sir. Allen, of the Philadelphia Smelting- and ReSning- company, at Pueblo, and representatives of the local smelters and the leading silver-producing mines. Two reports are current as to the de tails of the proposed plan. One is that a syndicate backed by Jehu D. Rock feller and the Rothschilds, will" gaiD control of all the smelters in the United States and Mexico, and arbitrarily fix the price of silver regardless of the supply and demand. The proposition was made, so it is stated, that the smelters should be taken at an ap praised valuation equivalent to cost. This was to be paid in cash. Then each was to have a proportionate block ot stock ia the new deal. The Grant people, so it is stated, wauted their plant paid for at its real value, not its ost. This hitch lias still to be adjusted. According to the other report the proposition is to have the silver of all the smeiters handled through one man or agency. At pres ent the Guggenheims have a certain house, the Grant people another, aud so on. There would be a saving to the smelters of possibly a quarter of a cent an ounce, having it handled by one mnn instead of half a dozen or a dozen, but the main object would be to prevent sudden slumps in the price of silver TRAVELED FAR TO MARRY. An Alabama Woman Went to the Wrong Cincinnati. j Cincinnati, O., November 19. Some days ago Mrs. Alba Renceur, of Ala- . bama, came to this city to wed a miner. She stated to the police that she had a letter from her intended and had re ceived money from him to come on. The man did not meet her, and the po lice searched for him, but in vain. The woman was sent to the Home ol the Friendless and her child to the Children's Home. Colonel Deitsch turned the ease over to "Doc'' Draper and the latter wrote to the postmaster in Alabama where the woman claimed to have received the letter from tbis city. Yesterday a letter was received from the postmaster stating that some days ago a Mrs. Renceur had received a postal order from Cincinnati, Ia. This explains the trouble. The lady was told about Iowa and she said she thought it was in Ohio. She does not speak much English and was misled. She happens to have some money left and can continue her journey and be maried ia a few days. Meanwhile her anxious intended is watching the trains in Cincinnati, la. - The marriage was to have taken place last week. A BOLD GANG OF OUTLAWS. Officers Defied by Men Thai Seem to Have No 1 ear. Muskogbe, I. T., November 19. The audacity of the Cook gang grows with the hours. The outlaws are now hov ering on the outskirts of Muskogee, and at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon "Hill" and eighteen followers were within sight of town at an abandoned Indian agency on the broad prairie. But it was Thursday night that they reached the climax of their boldness, a posse had been made up to go on their trail. Twelve men rode out in search of them. As these twelve made their exit by one street Cook and eleven followers rode in at another. They owned Muskegee for an hour, but did not commit a single predatory act. They were simply bent, it seems, on showing their contempt for the federal officers, and they did it. Riding four abreast, they covered every street, and finally rode away. The town is full of spies and informers, who carry mes sages to the outlaws. ... FITZSIMMONS WILL FIGHT. The Killing of Uiordau Will not Kflect the Corbett Match. New Orleans, La., November 79. Local sporting people do not believe that the killing of Con Riordun will have any effect on the Corbett-Fitzsim-mons fight which they . generally be lieve will be fought here. The state legislature does not meet for nearly two years and there is no strong public sentiment against fighting in New Orleans. The fact is the death of Riordan, while regretted among Fitz simmons' friends and the public gener ally, will have no effect on the local clubs, the efficers of which said yester day that their fights would take place as announced and that they could prob ably pull off the big contest. In some quarters the opinion is expressed that the fatal result of the exhibition will for some time have an effect on Fitzsim mons' confidence in himself- EIGHT MEN WERE KILLED.

Vhen ' the senate reconvenes on the first Mon- 1 day in next month, unless the pro gramme mapped out by certain sena- ' tors should be rearranged, there will " probably be a clash on the tariff ques tion. Jr'er.ator Harris, it is said, states that he intends to push the supple mental tariff bills for action as soon as possible after congress convenes, which probably means after the holiday re- j cess. This is in accord with the state- ments ha made on the floor of the sen- ; ate at the time these so-called "pop-! gun" tariir bills were referred to the ! finance committee. The bills relating to free h-on ore, and barbed wire, came back fr.m the finance committee prac tically s they went there, but the bill placing sugar on the free list was pigeon-holed and a substitute was re- porte 1, placing a nnifoim duty of forty per cent on all sugars, thereby doing !. away with the differential one-eighth : duty that operates to the advantage of the refiner and tlie discriminating one- j tenth that operates against the German j exporter, Democratic senators, not among those ! classed as "conservatives." express : doubts as to the desirability of attempt- j ing to pass any of the tariff bills now on the senrte calendar at the next ses sion.
