WASHINGTON, March 21.-At 2 o'clock
this afternoon heavy storm accompanied
by thunder and lightning broke over this
city. The rain flooded the streets and in
terrupted all overhead telegraph and tele-
phonic wires but two, connecting tho capi-
tol building with the rest of the city. The
underground wires were not interrupted.
STRUCK THE CAPITOL.
Lightning either struck the capitol build
ing or was carried into it on the many wires
which enter it, because occupants of all
parts of the building were startled out of
their usual serenity and treated to a rather
exciting electrical display 1t brought every
Judge of the Supreme Court, every lawyer
at the bar and every clerk at his desk to his
feet with a jerk as if they were all moved
by the same spring.

Then they all sat down and tried to look
as if nothing had happened Much the
same thing occurred in the hall Of the
House and the Senate chamber. IL seemed
as though balls of flame played about aud
dropped from every chandelier and ran
around the gided cornices. The building
shook and ratified in a manner to suggest
that the roof was coming down.
KNOCKED OFF HIS CHAIR.
An engineer in the sub-basemeut was
knocked off his chair. A cab horse outside
the building was knocked down. Theorists
have it that the charge struck the plume of

liers, steam pipes and electric wires in the

TATE's ASSETS.
HIS HONOR. THE HOG.
Mr.. Laird Don't Want q Valuable Cit
liens Reputation huined.


WASHINGTON, March 21.-At a meeting
of the House Committee on Agriculture this
morning discussion arose as to whether
some restriction should not be placed upon
the latitude which has been allowed to the
counsel on both sides in the pending lard
controversy in attacking persons en-
gagged in the manufacture Of hog products.
Mr.. Laird made the point that the only in
terest unrepresented by counsel in the pend
ing investigation was that of the original
producer. IL was, in his Judgment, high
time that something was said in the inter-
est of the American hog.
RECORD OF THE YEAR.
He said that during the year just ended
100000 hogs were slaughtered in the
United States, producing 527 ,000, 900 pounds
of lard, 321 COO 900 pounds of which were
exported and 206, 100000 pounds consumed
at home. The major part Of this output
was furnished by the States Of Nebraska.
Missouri, Iowa, Kansas and Illinois,
Formerly, he said, a large part Of this vast
output Of hog product had been manufac-
tured and handled in the East. Afterward
the center of this business was transferred
to Chicago. Later still, it had passed
largely TO Kansas City, Omaha, Sioux City
and other Western points.
TO THE INTEREST OF ALL.
This was 10 the manifest interest of the
producer and consumer because long ship.
ments of live hogs must entail great loss In
the quantity and quality Of the output.
Out Of these changes had grown friction
between these sections which he
thought was plainly visible in the
pending controversy, and the danger
was that witnesses when before the commit
tee in behalf Of their several private inter-
ests, would. If not restrained, go to such a
length in their effort to expose, il not to in
jure one another, that permanent injury
would be done TO foreign and domestic trade
in this product TO the necessary loss of one
disinterested party in this controversy,
namely the farmer
EUROPE READY TO SHUT US OUT.
This fact that tho American pork pro-
duct had been excluded from certain for
eign markets was evidence that foreign
consumes only awaited the slightest
preteKt to shut IL off entirely. Con-
sequently he contended for a rule Of
evidence which would limit the case
in rebuttal TO the issues presented by the
pure lard people 20 the end that the con-
testants in their anxiety to throw mud" at
each other shou d not be permitted TO do
Injury TO this vast American industry.
Mr.. Laird's remarks met with the ap-
proval of the committee, and a rule was
agreed upon which will prevent the inn
peachment Of American hog products.
