Seven DAYS Without Food or Water.

Tuesday, the firm of West Il Sublett re-
oeived two empty cars at their siding to
load with sumac. On unlocking car
Mr.. Sumpter Sublett saw, lying in the
corner of it, a man thinly clad, weak and
trembling, and not able to speak above
whisper. He proved to be foreigner who
could say only one English Word-''Cincin-
NATL" and who had been in the car and
locked up and unable to get out. When
Mr.. Sublett gave him water be gulped it
down like an animal, and when he gave
him two lunches that be and his father
had brought down with them, the poor
fellow devoured them ravenously. To
person who could understand his Ian
guage, he said he had gotten IN the car in
city in the West seven days ago and had
beer locked up there and could make no
one hear him. 1t is not impossible that
he was one of the Chicago Apdrchists
who fled to the empty cars from che police
during the week of the riot, aad had been
in hiding since.

In the House yesterday Mr.. Hill, Of Iowa,
called up the Campbell Weaver contested
election case, but against this Mr.. Willis, of
Kentucky, raised the question Of considera-
ton, 1t being his desire to dispose OF the
river and harbor bill He failed In his object
by one vote, however, and the election case
was proceeded with.
After debate for an hour and a half, the
resolution OF the majority OF the committee
on elections was adopted. II confirms the
right of the sitting member, j. b. Weaver,
to the seat.
Mr.. Green, of New Jersey, called up the
resolution allowing the contestee, William
A. Pirce, from the second district OF Rhode
Island, thirty days within which to take
further testimony, and the contestant, G.
II. Page, ten days thereafter to take testi-
.mony In rehuttal.
The resolution was advocated by Mr..
Green, Mr.. Turner, OF Georgia; Mr.. Lowry,
of Indiana, and Mr.. Hall, Of Iowa. The
Arguments OF these gentlemen were to the
effect that the contestee claimed that he
was not represented at the examination Of
the witness OF the contestant, relying ON the
fact that the testimony was not taken
within the time prescribed by statute. The
contestant testiiles to verbal agreement
between himself and the counsel OF the
'contestee, waving the taking OF such testi-
mony within that time. While they would,
under ordinary circumstances, compel the
parties TO observe strictly the requirements
of the atatute they held that the testimony
presented by the contestant disclosed such
wholesale and open bribery, duplicating
even the contestee himself, that the House,
In justice to It's own dignity, must take
notice Of 1t.
The resolution was opposed by Mr.. Hop
kins, Of Illinois; Mr.. Ely, Of Massachusetts,;
Mr.. Rowell, Of Illinois, and Mr.. Spooner,
Of Rhode Island, who argued that Page had
abandoned his contest Intentionally, and
that IL should not now bereopened.

WHY THE BAND DID NOT PLAY.
The Musicians Assembly Explain the
Action of Secretary whitney.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, In reply to
an article in this mornings issue Of your paper
in which unjust reflection is thrown on the ac-
ton OF the administration in not allowing the
Marine band 10 play in the parade of the AS
ISOLATED Veterans of the District of Columbia
on April 10, Iconslder 1t my duty TO make an
open statement, so that the public may not be
misled as TO the truth of the matter. Tho facts
OF the case are as follows: "When our assembly
learned that application had been made to
get the services Of the Marine and Arsenal
bands for nothing, we objected on the grounds
that 1t would be a gross injustice TO the mu
steal fraternity, inasmuch as great many musi-
clans are out OF employment. Both Secreta-
ries Whitney and Endicott, acknowledging
the justice Of our protest, declined to order out
the respective bands, and stated that only on
occasions recognized by statute as national
anniversaries or celebratlonas in which
the federal or District government
take part can these bands perform without
extra compensation, except their regular pay
from the government. In this we heartily in
dore the decision OF Secretaries Whitney and
Endicott, and sincerely thank them. The
consequence was that three bands were In the
parade, all of which received union prices.
With little foresight on the part of the proper
committee sufficient money could have been
raised TO pay the Marine band Why did they
not assess each man 25 cents? If 1t was not
worth quarter to each man TO have good
music, they should do without 1t.
