Warner Alilje-r called the gathering to

the speakers! Tne wildest enthusiastn
prevailed when President McKiniey
was introduced. '
The president, after, thanking his

the stale, he-welcomed them. He pro
ceeded:- .
'Much profitable trade is still unen-
joyed by our people' because of their

''There, is another duty resting upon
the national government 'to coin money

duty requires that ,our government shall

States is and must forever be unques
tioned and unassailable. If doubts re

-..Clemmer Alone Conspired to .Make
Way With "Its Wife, and That MM
Je Kalb Knew Not ni ne of the Plot.
Philadelphia, Jan. 31. A special to
The Inquirer from NOrristowri''Pa.
states that Charles O. Kaiser, convicted
of. the - murder of his wife, Emma
Kaise?-. has made a confession in which
he admits having conspired wilh James
A. Clemrrferto commit the crirce; but
placing the blame for having.. fired th
fatal -8hot' on Clemmer who is. now' 'in
the couhty-yian aweitingvirfal-for his
alleged share in the crime. Lizzie De
-Kaib, who is under, arrest "chargji4l vith
being implicated' in the' murder, is, ac
cording to Kaiser's confession,' inndr
cent of any knowledge of their purpose'
to kill Mrs. Kaiser. ;!: -i ; ,
Kaiser. ia bis confession.. says that lie
never had any intention of doing, away
with his wife until after he had heard
that she was untrue to him. Previous
to that time, he saidt he had always
loved her. As soon, however, jis he was
told that she was untrue' he lost aMl
love for her; and when soon' "afterward
he met .Clemmer in -: Philadelphia lie it
, was who temnted him tp enter into a
scheme t'o get rid of Mrs. Kaiser. Clem-
y 1 S
and inasmuch as his wife was untrue
to him he should have no-compunctions
about ending her . life.
The confession theri'states that Clem
mer told him" that be wa$--an agent for"
the .Cqyenaht. Life Insurance company,
of Galesburg, Ills., arid induced hiin to"
take out. an. insura-nee. policy for. $5,000.
This was.in..,the summer of 1896. Clem
mer thert told him how eay it was to
dispose, of Mrs. ' Kaiser, and persuaded
him to induce his wife to make a" will
in his' (Kaiser's! favor.' - :
: . Kaiser . says, that Clemmer and he ar-
, ranged to kill Mrs. Kaiser by means of
poison, but that 'plan fell through, and
it was afterward, decided to make, it
appear th'at the crime was committed
by highwaymen'. " "
Plans to this end "were arranged, and
oh three separate occasions Mrs. Kai
ser went' driving accompanied by Lizzie
De :Kalb. but the i lans of the con
spirators failed of. accomplishment until
October, 1S'.'S. On the -29th of-- that
rnpnth the plan finally. succeeded. Kai
sed had met Clemmer, and all the de
tails were arranged.- 'Clemmer- was'to
mee.t him. and Mrs. Kaiser at a given
point jn the guise of a highwayman!
Kaiser then goes an' to. say that -vyhen
; he reachedthe gin .point ; piemhier
made his appearance and commanded
the carriage containin'gp Kaiser aiad 'his
wife tp be halted, at ;ihe.:.sarneJ.time de
manding, money and valuables ' These
were handed out, upon , which' the;, pis
tol was placed.. against'i'Mrs.,, Kaiser's
-head by Clemmer, who sired.. The sec
ond shot was put througa Kaiser's arm.
The remainder of Kaiser's: -confession
differs fn nor particujar -jtrr th? facts
already brought out at the trial as to
V h'Vfe-,:sUbsequerit' TnOvemehts. lie insists.
. however, that the DeKalb woman knew
nothing- of the murder until after it
had been accomplished. ... ;
This latter feature "Of the confession.
corroborates the; statement made by
Lizzie De K alb just "after her arrest.

Aecordluff to the Story of Mr. Wllfoii
a Wealthy Manufacturer, WI10 Had
Placed Ills Daughter's llitbaud In a
Position of Trust. 0
New- York, Jan. 31. Moss Rosen-
Ftock was arraigned in the Centre street
police court yesterday on the complaint
of his father-in-law. David Wllfgon, of
Baltimore. as a fugitive from justice.
He was held pending the arrivalof the
requisition papers from Baltimore. He
is 34 years of age, but looks much older.
Mr. Wilfson,' the complainant, ' is the
senior member, of the millionaire fur
niture manufacturing firm of David
Wilfson & Son, Baltimore. - s
Thirteen years ago, according to the
story told by Mr.. Wilfson in 1 court.
ltosenstock was compelled through his
gambling debts and entanglements to
leave Germany. He came, to this coun-J
try ana atier a snort residence tn isai-
timore married . Mr. Wilfson's oldest
daughter, despite her father's opposi
tion. Soon after that Rosenstock was
given an important position with his
fatherrin-law's firm, but after payinj
attention to business for a few months
Rosenstock again plunged deeper than
ever into dissipation.
Then one day came the refusal of the
firm's largest customers to pay a bill
of over $20,000, which it claimed, ac
cording to Wilfson. had been paid to
Rosenstock months before. "When con
fronted with the. evidence Rosenstock
denied that he had received the'money,
but the matter was settled for a time
by Rosenstock accepting a few hun
dred dollars and leaving town. He left
his wife and five children behind. An
expert was nut to work on his books.
and. Mr. Wilfson states, discovered that-
Rosenstock was $30,000 short in his ac
counts. This was in 18S6.
"His dissipation in Baltimore," said
Mr. Wilfson, "had already cost me over
$75,000, and when I. found he had been
robbing me beside I determined to pun
ish him severely if he could be found."
For" over a year or more, detectives
scoured the country for Rosenstock. He
went, they, learned, to Philadelphia,
and after being in the employ of a firm
there for a few months disappeared.
having defaulted in a small sum. Later
he went, to Pittsburg, and, according to
the .story," -practically did the same thing
over again. . ;
Rosenstock had nothing to say- when
arraigned, and greeted his father-in-
law 'with downcast eyes. He showed
little emotion w jien told by Mr, Wilfson
that during the two years he had been
absent two of his children had died.
After he was remanded to the Tombs
Rosenstock said he would prepare a
statement-hshowing the amount of
money'he had taken from Mr. Wilfson.

THE WORK OF CONGRESS.
Seiate: Inses Teller's Resolution for
Hood Payment a In Stiver
Monday of last week in the senate
gave Senator Morgan another oppor
tunity to review the question of Ha
wsiian annexation. Despite a published
denial of ex-President Cleveland, the
senator made a long argument in sup
port of his previous declarations that
the then president favored annexation.
Mr. Turpie made a speech in support
of Telle'r's resolution authorizing pay
ment of bonds in silver. The house de.
voted most of the day to the Indian
appropriation bill. -
In the senate Tuesday the was a
- . - ,
heated discussion on Teller'sresolution
authorizing payment - of government
bonds in silver, but no business of im
portance was transacted. -The house
Indulged in political speeches under the
parliamentary fiction of discussing the
Indian appropriation bill. A motion lo.
strike out the Carlisle Indian school ap
propriation did not reach a vote.
The house on Wednesday had another
day. of political" sthmp speaking in con
nection .wih the Indian appropriation
bill. The only business of importance
transacted was the defeat of the mo
tion to strike out the appropriation for
the Carlisle Indian school, arid the ap
propriation stands. The. senate dis
cussed Teller's bond resolution.
' Thursday in the senate was 'devoted
to further discussion of the Teller res
olution, which "was to haye been voted
upon .at 4 o'clock, but by unanimous
consent the! vote was, postponed until 6
jo'clock on Friday evening." The hous
i passed the Indian appropriation bill
after eliminating the provisions for the
leasing of the gigantic miner al lands
of ' the Unoompaghre reservation in
Utah and the coal lands of the Kiowa,
i Comanche, Apache and Wich.ta reser
vations. ' v
The great event of last week In con
gress was the passage by the senate,
on Friday evening, of the Teller reso-
- Utjap authorizing the payment of bond
issues, principal and interest; in silver.
The vote was 47 10 32. " All efforts to
amend the resolution, before "the final
.vote' were voted down. Mr. Lodge's gold
standard substitute 'being defeated by

lution' The house passed the bill to
pay the MMhcdist Episcopalj church,

auring tne war. - . i j
On Saturday the house made a pre
tense of considering the District of Co
lumbia appropriation bill. The .Teller
resolution was" sent from the senate,
and Will doubtless be-voted down by a
Maree majority. " The senate was "not in
session, Saturday. "
