1 this section of the country were arpsted
In this city as the murderers of

tab wounds in the neck, was' found
ightly packed in a barrel at the corner
f Eleventh street and Avenue D.
The dead man was a member of the

ras closely shadowed by Secret Serv:e
agents under the order* of William
I. Flynn. chief of the local bureau,
rho for some time has been planning a
wholesale round-up of the Italian counjrfeiters
In the East.
That this man was murdered by bis
omrades in the gang with which he
ad been identified there is no doubt,
nd it is practically certain that the
Iglit men locked up at Police Head- j
uarters planned his death and that
of thorn ncoomnlished it with I
ieir own bands.
The affront to bit comrades which
rought upon him the sentence of
eatb is still a secret locked up In the

f whom were armed with huge recovers
and wicked-looking knlres.
inintalned an attitude of sullen deflnee
after they were locked up. nnd

rord out of any one of them.
It Is this gang that perpetrated the
orror of Tuesday morning, and the
gents of the United States Secret 8erice
declare absolutely that they are
tie same men who cut the throat of
llusenne Catnnia in Brooklyn last July
nd carried bin body In a sack to a
eserted neighborhood.
The nine men arrested are a murderub
looking crew, and a score of
rimes are laid at their door*. The
ecret 8ervlcc agents. who hare been
'atchlng them for months. declare
Hat tbej hare as little compunction
bout murdering a man as they would
ave alraut killing a dog.
A rule of long standing among them,
tie agents say. has l>een to kill anyody
that stood in their way or be'ayed
them to the authorities. The
mn whose body is now in the morgue,
to head almost entirely severed from
ie trunk, committed one of these of*
ences. It is believed, and at a council
f the gang was sentenced to die.

for many years Chairman of lh?* Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee
and author of the hill creating the Interstate

"The decision handed down by the

the Northern Securities case was nn
Important victory for tlio Government
and for tlie President, who gnve instructions
to institute the prosecution.
Its fur-reaching effect will not l?e fully
appreciated by the people until the
opinion has been carefully studied .iud
is thoroughly understood.
"The decision menus that the Government
tan control and suppress
every kind of trust which restrains
trade. One railroad is not prevented
from acquiring another line for the
purpose of extending its system, but
parallel roads are prohibited from
consolidating so as to destroy competition.
"The most important feature of the
decision Is that rich and p<?or must
be accorded the same treatment. Powerful
corporations cannot hereafter
employ high salaried counsel to assist
them iu evading the law. That time !
has passed forever. It has always I
been my contention that the laws on ;
the statute l>ooks were nmpic to per- :
mlt the control of unlawful corporations
by tbe Government. The derlhIod
in tbe Northern Securities ca?e I
Is merely n vigorous enforcement of i
the laws which bare been In existence !
for years.
"Individuals may bpreafter enter the
commercial Held without fear of ex-1
tlnctlon by tbe trusts. This will l>e
possible, since It is clearly demon-'
strated that the Government has full
power to deal with the trusts. During
recent years the great combinations
bnve driven Individuals out of bus!- !
ne*8. The wealth of the country lias
!>een concentrated in the hands of th* j
few. As a result of this concentration .
men of limited capital have refused to '
enter the commercial field, as many
industries were absolutely controlled
by the trusts. The decision handed
down by the Court of Appeals will
make it possible for these men to in-1
vest tiieir money and establish new .
industries, the Government suppress
injj such rruaiH as 10 iircu-m cuiuiivir >

"I hope the derision rrill he sustained
by the Vnired States Supremo Court I
New conditions will then follow. A ;
large number of small concerns will I
spring into existence, there will l>e o
return to the conditions before so
many men were compelled to abandon
their own business enterprises and
work for the larger corporations on
salaries. This will result from the
knowledge that the Government proposes
to prosecute unlawful combinations
and alike protect the rich, the
well-to-do and the poor.
"There will now bo n resumption of
competition, and much idle capital will
Ite again invested. Prior to this deci

Washington. D. C.?Postmaster-General
Payne lias returned to Washington.
Before seeing any of his subordinates
Mr. Payne said that he was
personally responsible for the invest!
gation now being conducted, information
having reached him before he left i
Washington which he felt warranted a J
thorough investigation, and he had accordingly,
with the approval of the
President, directed Fourth Aiuihitiint
Postmaster-General Brlstow to mak?
the necessary Inquiry. Not only
would It naturally fall to Mr. Bristow
to make such an Investigation, but the
fact that the division? to he investl-!
fated were under First Assistant Post- j
master-General Wynne's jurisdiction i
made it especially desirable to secure
an ex porte Inquiry. The PostmasterGeneral
made the following statement: I
"During the months of January and ;
February Information and reports,
reached me, which I deemed it for the
public Interest to Investigate, and I
personally gathered such information
and facts as would enable the proper
officers of the department to undertake
a thorough investigation as to the
truth or falsity of these reports. I
directed Fourth Assistant PostmasterGeneral
Brlstow to take the proper
iteps to institute the necessary inquiry.
using Tor tost purpose me posiomce i
Inspectors' division and sach other |
methods as would thoroughly ascertain
the thith or falsity of the charges
or Insinuations made, and be was Instructed
to proceed promptly and with
vigor during my absence. Since my
return this morning I have not seeu j
General Brlstow, so that I am not advised
of the progress made. The investigation
will continue, and If any
wrongdoing is dlftclo*ed tbe parties;
guilty of such wrongdoing will be sum-;
mariiy dealt with. If the system or
method of doing business in the department
is faulty the proper remedies
will be applied without fear or favor.
I Inaugurated the investigation with
the determination that It should be
exhaustive.
"It Is proper for me to add that I
laid before the President the Information
which I had In my possession. ,
and that be folly approved of the ac?
tlon proposed by me."
After dictating the above statement
Mr. Payne held long conferences with
Mr. Brlstow and Mr. Wynne.
Mr. Brlstow received formal charges
to the effect that Mr. Beavers, late Superintendent
of the Division of Salaries
and Allowances, had been employed
by the Postal Clerks' Association, and i
bad not only drawn a salary from the
association, but bad used bis Influence !
with members of Congress to secure ;
continually increasing appropriations j
for clerk hire. As In the cases of all
charges filed It was merely naid that
the matter would be thoroughly investigated.
The whole administration of the
Postoffice Department is made subject I
to the Investigation under PostmasterGeneral
Payne's directions, and every I ,
charge will be probed thoroughly and I
the Inquiry made as searching as the I *
department's most expert inspectors
can make It. At the same time Mr.
Payne's purpose is to give fair and
Just treatment to all concerned, and
not to act arbitrarily and with undue
haste. For this reason It con be said
that no immediate cnanges or importance
iu the personnel of the service
are now contemplated, and changes
will depend largely on the report to Ih?
made by Mr. Brlstow. although developments
In the meantime may make
some deviation from this policy necessary.
i
When Postmaster - General Payne
reached the department a score of
newspaper men were awaiting him
with queries concerning the investigation,
but he parried all questions with
remarks on his trip to the West Indies.
He expressed particular gratification
at what he hid observed of postal conditions
in Cuba, and said his observations
in Cuba and Porto Rico would be
helpful to him in administering the j
posta! service. Mr. Payne summoned j
a number of the officials of the department
nnd held short consultations with
them respecting postal affah-s.
It may be several weeks before the

New York City.?Panic roijnod la
Wall street Monday. Th? bears pounded
their fellow traders, the'bull*, and
hit market quotations from 92 to $10
a share in actire aocuritiei and to
as high a* $19.50 a share in the laac*
tive issues. Tbe losses to sun res. according
to market quotations, rear tied
tens upon tens of millions of dollars.
The gross decline of O^n points in (
Northern Securities Compauy stock
alone represented a pa tier loss of al
most ten per cent on $400,000,000. ot
$40,000,000. The raluine of trading
was more than double the recent average,
and not stnee the Northern Pacific
corner of May 9. 1001, had such
excitement prevailed in the financial
district.
The cause of the commotion was the
scope which speculators allotted to the
Federal Court decision wbiclr pronounced
the Northern Securities Company
an unlswfnl concern, a combination
In restraint of trade. They adapted
the decision, to include all tnc big
railroad companies, all the recent combinations
and interweaving* of trans
portatiou companies, ana nil roc great
Industrial concerns, especially those
affiliated with railroad companies.
Therfe was a rumor that, follotrins
the Government's success In its con- ,
tention against the legality of the
Northern Pacific aud Great Nortnorn (
merger, suit would be begun to tin*
cover the Coal Trust. It was said alro
that action would lie against the con*
trol of Southern Pacific by Union Pacific,
and that the holdings of shares of
one railroad by another which bompetes
for traffic would raise question*
as to the legality of such ownership.
These applications of the Northern
Securities case and the rumors that
followed conrulsrd the market for
shares. But It was onJy because bear
speculators seized the opportunity to |
attack the position of the bulls.
From an authoritative source It was
learned no new plan has been considered.
or even outlined, by Mr. Morgan
and Mr. Hill la regard to action in the
emergency created by the merger decision.
Verbal notice of the appeal of
the case to the United States Supreme
Court has been given, and under the (
rule of the Court the appeal will operate
as a stay of judgment. As the
case cannot come up for bearing before
next fall there is ample time to consider
the situation and there will be
no immediate change in the status
of the Northern Securities Company.
NAVAL LORE FOR LAND FICHTBAS.
Artillery Hut Laws to R?md 8m Signal*.
Washington. D. C.?The Secretary of
War has approved a scheme proposed
by General Randolph. Chief of Artil*
lery. by which it Is proposed to give artillerymen
In fortifications a better
knowledge of the character of war
ships, as well as to acquaint them
more generally with matters nautical.
It is proposed, among other things, to
provide the coast posts with a set of 1
International flags and a flagstaff from
which tbey may be displayed and signals
exchanged with passing naval and
revenue vessels.
"If the positions of our fleet are not
well known to our coast artillery." said
General Randol' h. in forwarding his
recommandatlons. "It Is not improbable
that a friendly Tessel approaching a
fort in thick weather or after dark
might he mistaken for a possible enemy.
which would lead to disastroua results."
