Senator Wilson Introduces a Bill
Similar to One Already Vetoed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator Viii.
son to-day introduced a bill to quiet the
title Of settlers on the Des Moines river
lands in the State OF Iowa. The bill is
identical with the one vetoed by the Presi-
dent during the last session, with the ex-
ception that three years instead of ninety
days is given the Attorney General with
in which to bring suit to assert title of
the United States to the lands, and that
the following section is added to the bill
as vetoed:
That any person or persons who have
heretofore or may hereafter settle 1on and
improve any tract of public land, or land the
tit c to which is supposed to he in the United
States at the time of such settlements, with the
intention of Derfecting their title to the same
under anv OF the land laws of the United
States, shall be permitted, either they, their
heirs, or assigns, to plead in support or their
title to said lands against any other party or
parties claiming the same title of the United
States to said land, as fully and completely as
might be done By the United States govern
ment itself.
The Presidents veto stated in brief that
he returned the bill without approval
for the reason that every possible ques-
tion that could be raised regarding these
lands had already been adjudicated, and
that if any substantial point yet remained
unsettled he the President believed there
was no difficulty in the way of present
Ing it to the proper tribunals.

THE POLITICAL MOVEMENT.
Being asked about the political move

decidedly opposed TO any third party

When the congress reached the bead
OF resolutions a communication was
read from the Central Labor Union Of
Chicago which wound up with resolutions

THE RESOLUTION EXPECTED.

and as soon as IL was read | moved its
reference to the Committee on Resou-

produced the follOwing):
ResoIrsd. That II is the opinion OF this body
(the Congress Of Federated Trades) that the

TO add 'and this applies to the seven An.

BALTIMORE,s BRUTEs.
The Story of Their Terrible Crime
Told Without a Quaver.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 13.-The Coroner's
jury to-day investigated the death Of
Emily Brown, whose body was carried to
the MARYLAND university last Friday
night and sold for use in the dissecting
room. The evidence adduced and the ad-
missions made by the men under arrest
showed that the woman was most brutally
murdered by John Ross and Albert Haw-
kins, the former oonfessing TO having
smashed her skull with a brick, and stat
ing that Hawkins afterward thrust a
large knife through her heart. Ross was
perfectly cool while telling his story and
stated that the murder had been deliber-
ately planned by himself. Hawkins and
Anderson Perry, the colOred janitor Of the
university, and th at the latter had for three
weeks been arranging for the deed. The
body was brought warm and bleeding to
the cottage, where it was received by
Perry, who did all he could to destroy
what would lead to the womans identia-
cation, such as cutting off and burning
her hair and washing the bloody clothing.
The men were actuated solely by desire
to ge the price of the body. The Coroner's
jury decided from the evidence that Ross
and Hawkins were the murderers and
Perry an accessory, and will ask the
grand jury to indict them.

BOSTON, Dec. 13.-As the municipal
election draws near 1t becomes more and
more apparent that large vote will be
thrown and that the triangular contest
will be a fierce one ON the Mayoralty
question. It Is we'll known and freely ad-
mItted that not tor years have the oppOs-
ing factions put so much work into a
campaign as in this. This is especially
true OF the Republicans, who are feeling
confident and who have left no stone un-
turned to secure victory for Alderman
Hart, economically and in the
interest of the taxpayers. The County
Democracy are putting in vigorous work
for the Republican nominee under the
leadership Of SenatOr-elect Edward j.
