WASHINGTON Notes.


WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.-The commits
sioner of pensions has advised the secres
tary of the interior hat there will be a
deficiency in the amount necessary for the
payment of pensions for the fiscal year
over and above existing appropriations of
about S., 000, 900, and asks that necessary
steps be taken to secure the immediate
consideration OF the matter by congress
to prevent the stoppage OF the pay
ment of pensions.
An important proviso of the Oklahoma
bill passed by the house yesterday is one
reciting that nothing in the act organic
ing the territory shall be construed to au-
thorize any person to enter upon or to
occupy any lands in the Cherokee Quilt
and the Oklahoma proper settlement or
otherwise until after the Indian tribes
and the commissioners provided for in the
bill have concluded an agreement to that
effect.
After the agreement has been made it
shall be laid before the president, who is
authorized and required to issue his pro-
clamation declaring such .relinquished
lands open for settlement and fix the time
from and after which such lands may be
taken. 1t is provided that any person
who may enter upon any part of h land
contrary to these conditions and prior to
the time fixed by the presidents procla-
nation, shall not be permitted to make
entry on any lands or lay any claim
thereto.
1t is learned from sources deemed reli-
able hat Consul General Sewall had
made all preparations to leave for Samoa
Friday afternoon, but in the forenoon of
that day he received a note from Assist
ant Secretary Rives asking him to call at
the state department, which he did, and
was then told by RiYes that he was to
delay his departure. 1t is the opinion of
persons familiar with the situation that
inasmuch rs the next outgoing vessel
(which Sewall can now reach does not sail
until some time in the early part of March
his detention here is virtually that Sewali
will not be allowed TO return in his official
capacity.
Bayard said this afternoon that he had
not yet received Bismarck's propositioIs
for a conference on Samoa but expects il
in a few days. Bayard added that he
wanted the fact made plain that Bis
marck's instructions to the Samoan consul
to withdraw the demand for control of
the Samoan islands was not the result OF
Bayard's Geographic protest, but on his
own motion, as the instruction to the
consul was issued before the protest was
sent.
The house committee on territories was
to have taken final action on the admis-
sion Of Utah and on the omnibus bill for
the admission of Idaho, Wyoming and
Arizona, but no meeting was held. The

small Timber Better Than Large.

The statement that n ~ by ~ inch
beam built up of 9 by II planks spiked
together is stronger than u ~ by 10
inch solid timber will strike q novice
as exceedingly absurd, says The Mis-
sissippi Valley Lumberman. Every
~millwright and carpenter knows il
also, whether he ever tested il by
actual experience or not The in
experienced will fail to see why
a timber will be stronger simply
because the adjacent vertical longi-
tudiual portions of the wood have
been separated by ii saw and if this
were the only thing about it, it would
not be stronger, but the old principle
that n chain is no stronger than its
weakest link comes into consideration.
Most timbers have knots in them or
are sawed at an angie To the grain, so
that they will split diagonahyAuder
a comparatively light load. In II built
up timber no large knots can weaken
the beam, except SO much of il rs is
composed of one plank, and planks
whose grain runs diagonally will be
strengthened by the other pieces spiked

Another Version of the Princes Death

New YORK. Feb.2.-The Euening Sun
prints a Berlin special which it says comes
from a source above suspicion. The spe-
cial says: Crown Prince Rudolph was
killed in a duel Tuesday by Count Franz
Clam Calais. The crown princes wit
nesses were Count Hoyos and Prince
Coburg, his brother in.law. The counts
witnesses we're Prince Ferdinand Kinsky
and another nobleman. The duel was
fought at 4 p. m. in a little wood near
Baden. The crown prince was wounded
and was transported to the nearest castle
-Meyerling. He died late in the even
ing, just at the hour when his coming was
a~nxiously awaited at the state dinner in
Hoffburg. The crown prince had been
paying attention to Countess Clam Gallas,
nee Hoyos, for the last six months. 1t is
claimed hat recently, while on a shooting
excursion on the estate of the lady's
mother-in-law, Count Clam Gallas sur
prised his wife in a compromising situa-
ton with the crown prince. The count
at once challenged the crown prince. and
the latter, after consideration, accepted
and the duel occurred. The whole affair
has been largely suppressed by the Aus
TRAN court. but leaked out through some
aristocrats who were compromised IN the
affair, and had to leave the country. The
emperor, who knew of the whole affair.
has, it is said, fully approved his sons
behavior

Australia Protests.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The secretary
of state to-day received a cable from the
United States commissioner to the Mel
bourne exposition saying hat the federal
council of Australia has adopted an ad-
dress to the crown, viewing with deep
anxiety the recent events in Samoa and
favoring treaties guaranteeing independ-
ence in Samoa and also expressing the
opinion hat foreign dominion in Samoa
endangers the tranquility of Australia.
Secretary Bayard sand hat he regarded
the action of the Australian authorities on
the Samoan question as very important,
inasmuch as 1t indicated that the people
of that large and prosperous colony looked
at the situation pretty much in the same
light as the American people and were
not disposed to look favorably upon for
eign Entertainments in their vicinity.

Fearful IraaedY In Chicaao.

CHICAGO, Feb. IA tragedy was en-
acted in the elegant residence of P. f.
Murger, in the aristocratic suburb of
Hyde Park, this morning. George w.
Clark, a colored butler and Title Hy-
lander, a Swedish domestic, had a lovers
quarrel. Clark fired three shots at the
girl, missing her. He thea drew a razor,
and after a fearful struggle, severed the
head from the body. He then cut his
own throat. Both are dead and the
kitchen floor and walls are as bloody as a
slaughter house.

A GREAT RASCAL.
More of Sullivan's Rascality
Brought to Light.
Nothing Was Too Sacred for
His Clutch.
His Total Defalcation Now
Reaches $4,000.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 1.-The fight OF
County Clerk John Il. Sullivan continues
the uppermost theme. As the investiga-
ton OF his affairs progresses astonishing
revelations of ~crookedness are brought to
the surface. Enough have already been
turned up to stamp him as the most con-
summate rascal of the day. He robbed
everybody, including his wife, his bosom
friends and their friend: his political asso-
ciates, orphans, widows, corporations, the
county and the people right and left. The
frauds that have come to light already
aggregate in amount over l00, 900. Trust
funds charged to his hands are acknowl-
edged TO rave amounted at the beginning
of this week to $65, 600. Since then of
the county money there has been paid
into his hands nearly 5 5000.
Probably about $4,000 of this money
was applied to legitimate purposes. the
balance was stolen. Every term finds
some new creditor and it is evident that
the losses are not yet nearly all reported.
Suits without number are being instituted
against S%ullivan's bondsmen.
The board of county commissions met
this afternoon and appointed john r.
Wilson, a well known attorney, to fill out
Sullivan's unexpired term.
At midnight the investigation into John
e. Sullivan's crooked transactions shows
a total d%eIalcation and theft of over
$4,000 with more returns to hear from.

A re underwater is quoted in The
Tribune as saying that onc-half the
fires reported are Intentionally started
10y the owners of the property in which
they take place. That is seen to be
IN important item when one considers
that the fire losses in this city amount
ed TO Sl20, 900, 600 last year. The un-
derwritcr says that in the long run
the companies will raise their rates
until they r able TO pay both the
honest and dishonest policy holders,
but that will fall heavily on the hon
est ones. He says that It is not in the
power Of the insurance companies TO
prevent arson, but il is in the power of
the government. New York Sun.

Murder or Suicide.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. about mid
night the body of a woman aged %, well
dressed and of respectable appearance,
was found IN a vacant lot in the north
eastern section of the city. On inspec-
ton it was found hat she had been shot
through the head and that the weapon
had been so close as to SINCE her face with
powder. Residents in the neighborhood
heard the shot but paid no attention to
it. A man named George Fredricks was
arrested on suspicion, but no positive evil
dence was found againt him.

The Funeral will be a Simple One.

VIENNA, Feb. 2.-The Official Gazette
confirms the statement that the funeral
of the crown prince will be simple and
that the services will occupy only an
hour. The only members of a foreign
royal family who will be present are the
king and queen of Belgium. Emperor
Francis Joseph appears to have aged
twenty years since the tragic event. The
body of the dead prince is dressed in the
uniform of a general. Priests pray alter
nately beside the dead body. When
Prince Philip of Coburg and Loscheck,
the valet, returned to the room in which
thei body lay after Count Haoys had left
emperor, thy found that a burning candle
had set fire to the cuff of Rudolph's
right wrist. The emperor has sent the
following reply to President Carnot's
message:
81 am greatly touched by your as
sociating yourself with me in my grief and
for sharing so sincerely in the sorrow
caused by the cruel lossiwith which Provi-
dence has afflicted me-"
The formal announcement that Arch
duke Francis is heir presumptive will
probably be delayed for legal reasons and
on account Of the possibility of a pos
luminous issue of an heir of Rudolph.
The court surgeons in their official re-
port on the death of Crown Prince Ru-
dolph, say they found a peculiar flatten-
ing of the skull, an internal depression of
the cerebral folds and an enlargement of
the ventrical of the brain. These abnor-
NAL conditions, the surgeons say, justify
the belief that the crown prince was in
sane
