ing shackles and tackle hooks, which
was passed.
Mr.. Holmes, from the Committee on
Commerce, reported q bill authorizing
the construction Of a railroad bridge
across the Mississippi river at Fort
Madison, Iowa. Passed.
The House then, at 2:40, went into
Committee OF the Whole, Mr.. Holman
in the chair, on the army appropriation
bill.
Mr.. Whethorne, OF Tenn, charged
upon the Administration extravaganza
and profligacy in carrying on the affairs
OF the Government, quoting figures to
show that the expenses OF the present
administration were greater than the
whole expenses OF the Government
during the var OF 1912 or the Mexican
war. He denied that it was necessary
to keep the army in its present cond'-
ton.
Mr. Coburn, OF Indiana, replying, said
he would as soon expect TO hear the in
ceudiary who had fired his building
coming to him complaining OF eX'
trayagauce in rebuilding, or the assassin
who had struck him complain OF ex-
travagance in the doctors bill as TO
hear complaints about the administra-
ton from such sources. He defended the
War Department from the charge OF
extravagance in the manufacture OF
arms, and argued in favor OF the main,
tainance Of government armorles and
arsenals. lie admitted that the crdln-
ance had not kept up with events OF the
age. but denied it had been held back
from corrupt motives.

under the five minutes rule,
Mr.. Beck offered formal amend
ment, aud complained that the President
and Secretaries had not furnished the
information called for by the House.
He said that in his statement OF the
expenses the other day he now found
he had not told half. The House and
the country had right to this informa-
ton and the army bill ought not to be
passed till it was shown what had be-
come OF the money. He charged that
it had been used as a means Of fraud
and corruption at the South.
This gave rise to a spirited discussion,
which was participated in by Messrs.
Dawes, Beck, Butler, Of Massachusetts,
and Morgan, OF Ohio. The bill was
amended as follows Theappropriation
for Schuylkill arsenal was raised from
So, 900 10 $4,000. The appropria.
ton Of $4,000 for the National Gem

MEMPHIS. April 5.-The APpeaLs dis
patch tonight from jackson, Miss.
is az follows: Last night and today

the Speakers gavel was vigorously piled
all the time. In the Senate, the bill
reducing the salaries Of officers was
passed. The Governors salary was
reduced 10 $4,000, and the salaries. ot
other officers to $1,000. The civil
rights bill was rejected without argu.
ment. Both houses adjourned al

to beg, and meeting with more rebuffs
than sympathy, put an end TO his life.

RoNE is vastly agi:a;cd over the dis
covery Of the body OF lady, which the
Tiber yielded up, near the Ponte Mo!Ie'
one evening early in the last month.
The victim was Young and richly
a,tired. The discovery was made by
fish vcnder, who straichtway gave an
alarm, and summoned the proper
authorities and the pale facsd citizens
10 the spot. In the bosom Of the un-
fortunate Lady was plunged dagger
with dismond.studded hilt, and 4 faint
stream OF blood was discernible on the
silk dress. Frofuse black curls hung
disheveled over the shoulders and face,
and on plain white collar pinned to
the dress below the dagger wound was
written in blood the terrible word
"Vcudetta.' A short examination was
sufficient TO establish the lady's identl'
ty, and it was then discovered that she
was the Princess Catar.na dl Chlgl, one
OF the most beautiful and brilliant OF
the Italian bellies. She had been alb
sent from her parents palace for some
days previously but pride had forbidden
publication OF the fact. The cause OF
the tragedy is supposed 10 be explained
by the fact that she WAS bctrothcd
d Prince E.berio GiiuGIo, who
loved her madly; bat NJ last
her feelings underwent n religious
change, aud she determined to enter
a convent and take the veil. This dc.
termination aroused the Prince 10 such
n pitch OF frenzy that it is considered
almost certain that he murdered the
one he could not marry.

BREAK AT THE STATE Prison .-Informa-
tion came from San Rafael the evening of
December Sd, that the prisoners made an eff
fort to escape, and that a number had got
away before the escape was found out. The
story is that two prisoners were hauling wa
ter in the brickyard and while the guards
were not looking threw rope over the wall,
and several made a rush for liberty while a
row was created at another portion of the pris-
on to draw the attention of the guards The
escape was detected by the sight of several
prisoners making good time over the hills,
which lay hetween.the prison and San Rafael.
Pursuit was given and the alarm taken to San
Rafael. Sheriff Watson started in pursuit,
and while hunting through the canyons
where the brush was so thick that he had to
crawl, saw one of the escaped lying low.
The sheriff threatened to shoot him, when he
came out and was taken back to prison. An
other escape was seen on the Petaluma road.
A large number Of men are securing the coun-
try for miles around.
