viction thereof shall be punished by fine
of not more than 500 or by imprison-
ment not exceeding three months for
each offense.
Sectionl 5-Nothfng in this act shall
be construed to apply to or
prohibit the sale without in
spection of canned, smoked, cured
or salt meats. This act shall take effect
and be in force from and after its passage.
There was rattling discussion of the
bill by sections. The debate was opened
by member of the Illinois delegation.
General Pope, of Minnesota, sought to cut
off debate by moving the previous ques-
tion, which was lost.
Senator Finn, of Iowa, offered local
option substitute.
Representative Shaw, of Missouri,
thought the convention had assem-
bled to afford some relief to
producers from the oppression of an al
legged combine, and for nothing else. But
how this bill proposed to solve the prob
lem he could not understand. If this con-
vention was sitting as a board of arbitra-
tion between the Big Four and the
Butchers Union, then he wanted to say he
had no sympathy with either. 1t was
case of dog eat dog. Applause.
He did not believe the people
of any state are so lost
to all sense of honesty as to render it
necessary for legislatures to pass laws to
protect people against tainted meat. 1t
the convention desired sanitary measure
it should provide for something more
than ins pection at the hoof. He under
stood that the convention was called to
ascertain why the producer can only get
or cents per pound for stock to-day,
whereas, he formerly got or cents and
the consumer pays the same price now
as formerly. He considered the bill
irrelevant.
Senator Fields, of Indiana, believed he
had discovered yawning hiatus between
the preamble and resolution. The pre-
amble stated diseased meat was being sold
and the resolution asked the doctors to
inspect the meat. He could not see how
this could effect the purpose in view.
General Hutchinson, of Iowa, strongly
opposed the bill.
Senator Crafts, of Illinois, said the way
to crush the trust was to build up packing
houses all over the states, which shall di-
vide the business with the Swifts and Ar
mours. There was prolonged debate on
the measure with no possibility at this
hour of vote being reached tonight.

allowed three crackers and cup of tea
twice day, but his constitution had
been so imposed upon that
the little help offered availed naught and
upon his dying bed he mosned for enough
food to satisfy the cravings of his appe-
tite. Doctor Scott recommended a milk
diet for the poor man. A Mr.. O'HerroD,
who lives near by, volunteered to furnish
him the milk free of charge. was sent
after the milk daily, but it never reached
the sick man, as it was used for culinary
purposes. Before Lindsey died, a cup of
broth or cruel was sent him, but it was
too late as his condition had been studi-
ously neglected too long, and he died
from the lack of sustenance.

Young Girl Burned to Death


PARIS, Tex, March 14.-Eleven miles
south of this city yesterday afternoon a
young lady was burned to death. Charles
Hobbs, farmer, had given his daughter
a piece of ground near the house for a
cotton patch and they were at work clean
ing it off and burning the stalks. The
wind was blowing hard and neighbor
who was passing warned them that there
was danger of their clothing taking fire,
He hadjust started when he hearda scream,
when he saw the clothing of Miss Bette
Hobbs was in flames. The girls mother,
sister and the gentleman rushed to her as
sistance, but their efforts were unavailing
and every vestige of her clothing was
burned off. She died in six hours. Mrs.
Hobbs, her daughter and the gentleman
were all badly burned in their efforts to
save the girl.

Trading Their Catt'e.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
Fort WORTH, March 1.-THE cattlemen
still linger in the city, most of them try
ing to swap cattle for money, but 80 far
there has been but little trading done, the
same old cause of low prices preventing
the agreement of sellers and purchasers.
A few trades have been made. Sellers de-
cline to give the figures at which they
sold, and endeavor to conceal the fact
that any sale has been made by them.
The big deals that were expected to be
made during the sitting of the cattle con-
vention have not publicly materialized

WASHINGTON, April 2.-The German ves-
sells Sperber and Alexandrine, which are
now on their way to Samoa to replace the
wrecked vessels, are not very formidable
ships, but at long range fighting would have
decided advantage over the American YES
sells owing to their superior armament and
speed. The corvette Alexandrine is wood,
iron and steel, of 1878 tons burden. She is
of fifteen knots speed. Her battery is made
up of twelve 51a and two 319-inch four ton
breech- loading rifles, four revolving cannon
and torpedo tube. and equipment. The
Sperber is new cruiser OF the composite
type, /, 100 tons burden, fourteen and one
half knots speed, and armed with riied AZ
inch Krupp and four HotchlSiss revolving
cannon and two torpedo tubes Neither of
the vessels is armored, but it will be noted
that their speed is about 80 per cent greater
than the American vessels ordered to Samoa
and their guns are of greater range.

THE SECRET SESSIONS.
Teller Very Confident That His Mo-
tion Will Prevail

WASHINGTON, April 2-Senator Teller's
proposition to abolish the secret sessions OF
the senate for the consideration of presi-
dental nominations, while not the direct
outgrowth Of the published reports on the
debates on the nomination of Murat Hal
stead, was suggested by them. The PROPOSE
tion Of Teller differs from that made by
Platt at the opening of the F'ittieth congress,
in that it proposes that only nominations
shall be considered with open doors, while
the Platt resolution proposed to abolish ex.
ecutive sessions for any and all
purposes except when on specific mo.
ton it might be agreed that the
doors should be closed. The republican SEN
ators say that there would have been favor
able action on the Platt resolution had it not
been for the eccentric work of Riddleberger,
which was incompatible with the interests
of the proposition. Teller was asked by an
Associated Press reporter to-day as to the
outlook for his resolution He said that
there is no doubt in his mind but what it
| will be adopted, AS far as he can see there
| is very little objection now to consideration
| of presidential nominations in open session.
| He is confident that the masses of the people
| are in favor of it, and equally confident, in
views of the publications during the past
week, that the majority of the senators w i'll
vote for it,

A Pension Ruling.

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Commssioner Tan
ner, of the pension bureau, with the ap-
proval of the secretary of the interior, has
issued the following ruling:
Pursuant to an act of congress approved
March ], 1889, whenever a pension certf-
cate of any character, original, increase,
restoration, arrears or otherwise, shall be
issued by this bureau, and the beneficiary
mentioned therein is found to have died be-
fore payment, the amount due on said GER
tihcate to date of death of said pensioner
will be paid to the widow of such pensioner.
If there be no widow, then said amount will
be paid to the minor child or children of SAID
deceased pensioner. If there be neither
widow nor children, then the amount due
said deceased pensoner will, in the discre-
tion of the secretary of the interior, be paid
to the executor or administrator of his es-
tate. Minor children, as contemplated by
this act, are minors recognized as such by
the law of the locality in which pensioner
lived
