A Knight of Labor Gives His Views on
the Subject.
WASHINGTON, March 7th.-The House
Committee on Postoffioes, etc., to-day re-
sumed the consideration of the postal teIe-
graph and was addressed by Ralph Beau
mont, Chairman of the Legislative Com
mittee of the knights of Labor.
Representative Wade introduced in the
last Congress bill, ".said the gentleman,
"for Government telegraph embodying
the Knights of Labor views, but it died
with many Others
Mr. Beaumont did not think the Post
masters bill was good business PROPOSE
ton.
This country said ne, 'now is practi-
cally Government of corporations by
corporations and for corporations" DR..
Green had said that Beaumont was solic-
itous about the people in telegraph business
who would be ruined by Government
competition. Yet he was President of the
corporation that had repeatedly crushed
opposition companies and other people
who invested money in the telegraph busi-
ness. The speaker favored the Wade bill,
and said the Government should own,
operate and control its own system. He
admitted that if the Wanamaker bill re-
suited in cheapening telegraph rates for
people generally, he would be better pleased
than under the present system He wanted
the Wade bill passed, but as all legislation
was the result of compromise. he should
be glad to see Wanamakers bill passed as
an opening wedge.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
Charges to be Preferred Against News
paper Correspondents.


WASHINGTON March 7th.-At meeting
of the House Committee on Elections to-
day the subcommittee, consisting of
Chairman Rowell and Messrs. Lacey and
Crisp, reported on the evidence in hand in
the Clayton Breckenridge Arkansas con-
test and stated, that owing to the alleged
assassination of Clayton whereby the con-
test was suspended, ii is of the highest i'm
portance that the matter be fully investi-
gated They reported resolution pro-
viding for the appointment of a sub COM
mittee of five members to make a full and
thorough investigation, and if necessary,
to go to Arkansas to pursue the inquiry.
The resolution was adopted by unani-
nous vote.
- Senator Dolph's special committee, hav-
ing failed to extract any information from
the newspaper men, to-day took another
tack, and, beginning at the head of the list,
summoned the members of the Senate to
appear before it and put them through
course of questioning similar to that ap
piled to the new spaper men. 1t is under
stood that those summoned to-day asserted
that they had not disclosed the proceed
ings beyond the limitations of the
rules. The examination of Senators
will require two or three days. The
impression prevails that resolution to
imprison the correspondents for contempt
will fail, but there is prbability that some
of them will be certified to the District At
orBey for prosecution.

When Judge Rombauer was on the
bench he one day mada ruling against a
young attorney, whose superhuity Of diplo-
mas was only equaled by his scant knowl-
edge Of law. Much disgusted, the lawyer
said:
81 don't know where your Honor goes to
find such law as that"
When rufiled Judge Rombauer speaks
with a strong Bohemian accent, and he
replied in very emphatic language:
81 am not surprized, Mr. -, zat you
know not where go to find re law, for l
find it in re books"
The second incident was that wherein
Judge had oyerruled motion of Counselor
Garvey. one Of the best known lawyers Of

ally most respectful to the Court but he
lost his temper this time, and declared in
his broad, though rich and cultured
brogue

honor that it will never be noised aboad to
your Honor's hurt that this honorable
Court ever made a ruling so dishonorable

TOO MUCH WHISKY.
A Sensational Shooting ARRAY in
Chicago

Chicago.
CHICAGO, March 7th.-The most sensa-
tional shooting affray which has occurred
in this city for long time took place to-
night, Patrick Grove being the principal.
He succeeded in wounding a woman
slightly, and two officers and a citizen
badly. One of the officers will probably
die.
Grove came here from Omaha short
time ago and has been working in pack
ing house. Last night he wound up pro-
tracted spree in a disreputable house on
Clark street.
This afternoon he demanded at the point
of a revolver from Annie Hail. in whose
company he was, jewels valued at 81 500,
which she had. The woman screamed and
Grove fired, the bullet lodging in the fleshy
part of her arm. Grove seized the jewelry
and rushed toward the street. At the door
be was met by colored woman, whom ne
knocked senseless with the butt of his re-
volver. He got away for the time being,
and later in the afternoon pawned the dia-
monds.
Officer Linville, who had been watching
for him, met him at the door of the pawn
shop and attempted to arrest him. but was
instantly shot down, the bullet passing
through his face and cutting his tongue in
two. Grove ran down the street, followed
by hundred citizens.
Officer Briscoe, located several blocks
down, attempted with a drawn revolver to
stop the flying man, but Grove promptly
planted a bullet in Brisooe's breast and
kept on. Soon after he turned and dis
charged the last cartridge at his pursuers,
the bullet striking C. E. Cole in the arm.
At last Grove was cornered in a
blind alley, but kept the crowd at bay with
the empty revolver, until two detectives
stole march on him. knocked him down
and hancuffed him.
Fully thousand people followed the
trio to the station, yelling Lynch him, but
the detectives landed him safely behind the
bars. Grove is supposed to have been crazy
from drink. According to his own story,
he is of respectable family. He worked in
an Omaha packing-house before coming
here.

morning tive-story tenement house on
Ludlow street, which contains several FAM
lilies, among whom are large number of
children. was discovered on FIRE. When

cleared, and through three wlndowa ad-
joining the tenement they helped men,
women and children to safety. Some of
the half-naked children slid down to the

great difficulty, being nearly smothered.

CLEVELAND, March 7th.-Peter Jack
sons party arrived to-day. In an inter-
view Parson Davies denied the story that
Jackson was nearly knocked out at Troy
by Lambert. The latter, he said, is a pro-
fessional wrestler weighing 240 pounds,
who went in to get the s100 promised to
anyone who stood before Jackson for four
rounds. He got it too" said the parson,
mournfully. He would agree to no one
for referee but saloon-keeper friend and
then insisted on eight-ounce gloves. Now,
what can anyone do with pillows? Then
he didn't fight. He rushed in, grabbed
Jackson around the waist and tried to
throw him. Peter obeyed the rules and
called for a foul. The referee wouldn't
allow it then or when Lambert repeated
his tactics. In fact, all Lambert did was
to run around the stage trying to keep
away from Jackson, and when he failed in
that would duck his head, rush in and
catch Peter arouEd the waist. That was

SCOTT IN WASHINGTON.
why the ship-Builder Went to the Ma
tional Capital.

WASHINGTON, March 7th.-One of the
most frequent callers at the Navy Depart
ment nowadays is Irving N. Scott, to whose
visits rumor assigns double purpose. Scott,
as is well known, has bill now pending
before Congress to secure his release from
the penalties incurred in building the
Charleston, and one object ascribed to his
visits is to secure the Secretary's co-opera-
ton in the passage of the bill.
The second object is of more Importance
to the coast, and even to Scott, than this,
being connected with his securing con-
tract to build one of the great line of battle
ships at San Francisco. Scott, ii is said,
wants to induce the Secretary of the Navy
to have inserted in the advertisements for
bids on the new ships clause that will en-.
able him to bid on them with due regard
to the increased cost of materials on the
coast and the transportation charges, thus
putting the West on an equality with the
East.

STRANGE PHENoMENoN.
Three Distinct Suns, Each Circled by
Rainbow.

CHRIsTIANsBURG (Va.), March 7th.-This
community was startled by a strange phe-
nomenon about o'clock Wednesday even
ing. The moon was rising. and the sun
was visible over a mountain. Suddenly
three distinct suns appeared in the west,
each completely circled with a rainbow.
Each rainbow showed distinctly the seven
prismatic colors, but the outer and inner
edge of each was red. In the zenith there
was another sun, surrounded by another
rainbow. This is on the summit of the
Allegheny mountains, and this may ac-
count for the very unusual scene, but
many people were frightened. Scientific
men think it may have been a mirage or
combination of solar and lunar rainbows.

Testing Rifles,

VIENNA, March 7th-The trials which
have been made by the Austrian Govern
ment and the military authorities with
smokeless powder have enabled the Off
Gals to arrive at some very valuable results.
1t has been found that the Mannlicher rifle
possesses an ample power of resistance to
the increased strain to which it is subjected
by the new powder, while level trajectory
of from 1000 to 2000 PAGES is obtained
from the increased initial velocity of the
projectile, against 500 PAGES. which distance
was all that could be accomplished by the
old infantry rifles.

Senator Blackburn's Proposition to Muz-
zle the Press.

WASHINGTON, March 7th. = The Star
says: Senator Blackburn's plan to abolish
the press gallery has not yet commenced to
alarm the correspondents. Strange as 1t
may seem, this absurd proposition has
number of advocates. If it becomes fact
newspaper men would not object. There
would be one less gallery to attend to.
Should the Kentuckian's scheme succeed
there will be sweet music IN the upper at
mosphere, for the result would be boycott
that the Senators would speedily tire of.
1t is believed that all of the prominent
newspapers of the country would agree to
ignore the Senate and its oratory. The
Senators would then be compelled to make
heavy investments in the equally heavy
Congressional Record or their constituents
would never find out what they had been
talking about.

CHICAGO, March 7th.-"There was a re-

Rexham IN the Grand Pacific Hotel to-day
That is, if the report is true. 1t was said
about the clubs that number of rich
young men had organized company to
hunt elephants in Alaska. Not live ones,
but the dead. You know that elephant re-
mains are found all over the great valley
of the Yukon, and also throughout the
entire western slope of Alaska. 1t was not
long ago that Sir Charles Lyell created
sensation by announcing the fact that
frozen elephants were found wedged among
the Siberian icebergs. So they can also be
found in Alaska. The big animals are on
the surface, and can be dug out easily.
The collecting of elephant tusks is big
business in Siberia every summer. There
are just as many on the Alaskan side as in
Siberia, and they are much easier to get. If
