Postmaster General Wanamaker was
called as witness and asked particu-
Iarly concerning his action in the case
OF Shidy. So far as he remembered.
Mr.. Roosevelt had told him that Shidy
had aided the commission in its luYeS-
tigation of the Milwaukee p0StOt1ice. and
the postmaster had taken offense
against him. Mr.. Roosevelt had con-
ceived the impression that Shldy was
an excellent man and worthy OF the in
terest taken in him: and MIR. Roosevelt
asked him whether he had any objec-
ton to him (ROoSeveltl seeking place
for him. He told Mr.. Roosevelt no. He
subsequently, wrote a letter to the SUI
pPrntendent of the census, saying that
he saw no objection to Shidy's appoint
ment in the Office. Mr.. Roosevelt had
not told him Of the charges that existed
against Shidy of making false GER
tiicatiOns in the Milwaukee postot1ice.
He had read the commissions report on
the poSlOf1ice before this action Of his
with regard to Shidy, but he had read 1t
with reference to Postmaster Paul, and
not with reference to Shidy. He did
not think that either of the civil service
commissioners had asked for the re-
m0val OF johnson or FahScl, the other
members of the board OF examiners OF
the Milwaukee postoflice. He was asked
whether if it had been stated TO him
that Shidy was guilty of the charges
against him, he would have entertained
request for personal Endorsement for
a position for him. MIR. Wanamaker
replied certainly not; that he would
consider it his duty to warn the head of
department against such a person.
The committee then adjourned until
Monday.

The House Takes Up Another Con-

WASHINGTON, March 1.-The pro-
ceedingS of the house were opened TO-
day by Rev. George Elliott, of the Foun-
dry church, Washington. Referring to
the unfortunate occurrence Of yester
day, he said: almighty God, who, by
the commandments and example of our
Lord Jesus Christ, hast inclined us
in the exercise of charity to all
those who are sick or imprisoned,
we implore thy mercy on the men
who have lifted up the hands of violence
and blood in the presence OF justice aud
in the very home Of order, and who are,
the one in the bondage Of pain and the
other of the law. Grant unto them deep
contrition of heart that they may obtain
sure trust in Thy mercy and the COM
fort of Thy pardon. And. oh God. thou
knowest the secrets of all our hearts,
whether we ourselves are inWardly
better than those we condemn. Have
mercy on US. Keep us from the occd-
sion and opportunity Of evil and from
the ways Of sinful shame. Let no
pride or self-Seeking, no cOvetOuSneSs
or revenge, no improper imagination or
base passion or violent temper pollute
our soul or degrade our words or ac-
tons" A few private pension bills;
also the senate bill providing for an as

At the conclusion of his speech, Mr..

oUARRELED OVER LAND,
And Two Men Lose Their Lives as
the Result.

Los ANGELES, CAL, March News
has been received Of doubly fatal
shooting affray which occurred at Sau-
gus. small station Oh the Southern
Pacific, in this county. George Walt
ham and D. Cook were hauling wood
past a cabin occupied by w. A. Gard
ner and w. E. Carmichael, when the
latter opened fire with Winchester
and revolvers. Waltham was instantly
killed. and Cook received wound from
which he died three hours later. The
shooting was the result of dispute
about land Gardner and Carmichael
escaped. COnstabes are in pursuit. w.
H. George. rancher living near the
scene of the tragedy, gives the follow
Ing version of the affair: 1.-The shooting
grew out of quarrel over railway
lands. WaItham recently hauled load
of lumber to a section of land which he
claimed. Carmichael, who claimed the
same section. had the lumber removed.
This created bad feeling between the
men, and yesterday Waltham got
Jose OIine and ID. Cook to assist
him haul more lumber to the
land and put up shanty. Carmichael
and w. A. Gardner appeared on the
scene, and the quarrel broke out afresh.
WaItham and Carmichael coming to
blows. Waltham and his party loaded
their wagons and returned and got
second load. AS they were passing Car
michael's cabin, Gardner, it is alleged,
opened fire on the wagon. Waltham
fell dead and Cook dropped with bull
let through his shoulder. He only sur
vived three hours. Oine escaped. AS
soon as the shooting was over Car
michael and Gardner ran from the
shanty, jumped on horses and fed.
The whole neighborhood is aroused and

South America on the Atlantic are
guided and governed by the decisions
of the international sanitary convention
OF Rio Janeiro OF 1887. That, although
it does not appear that the plans of the
sanitary congress of Lima, of 1889. have
passed into the category OF interna-
tional compacts, 1t is to be hoped that
they will be accepted by the govern
ments that participated III the
saiu congress, because those plans
were discussed and approved by medical
men OF acknowledged ability. That the
sanitary convention of Rio Janeiro of
1887 and the draught of the congress of
Lima of 1889 agree in their essential
provisions to such OH extent that 1t may
be said they constitute one set of rules
and regulations. That, if these were
duly observed in all America, they
would prevent under any circumstances
the conflict which usually arises be-
tween the obligation to care for
the public health and the principle OF
freedom of communication between
countries. That the nations OF Central
and North America were not repre-
scented either in the sanitary convention
of Rio Janeiro, or the congress OF Lima;
but that they might easily accept and

selves as to Sanitary RcguIa-
tiOnS.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-The Pan
American congress has adopted the re-
port of the committees on the subject
of sanitary regulations. The report
says: cone of the most important sub
iects submitted to the honorable in
formation conference, without any
doubt, was to decide upon means
tending to prevent the conflict
which may arise at the time of epidemic
invasion between the divers sanitary
regulations which the American nations
have seen fit to adopt in order to shield
themselves from such invasiOns. Ii the
regulations of sanitary police have ia
view the harmOniZing of the eXigencIeS
of public health with the principle OF
free communication between countries,
it is evident that international sanitary
conventions are necessary to put that
harmony into practice by means Of
uniform and impartial regulations,
which shall consult the general inter
ests of the countries. The committee
has carefully examined the work of
special conferences and congresses,
which have met at different times in
several parts of the world, and has
reached the conclusion that it has duly
discharged its duty by making selec-
ton from among those works which are
the result of
EXECUTIVE STUDIES.
made by men eminent in the science of
medicine in Europe as we'll as in Amer
lea. Complete isolation, which theO-
reticaly appears to be the most effect
hui, n Gil
of epidemic diseases, does not afford, in
practice, satisfactory results as a sani-
tary measure, but tends, on the other
hand, to notably injure the commercial
interests of the countries. But. If abSo-
lutte isolation as a prOphylactic is
nothing more than an illusion,
the same may not be said Of
the sanitary means that modern science
has placed within our reach for the dis
infection of infected localities, as we'll
as to prevent the introduction and de-
VelOpment of contagi0n in those which
have remained in a state OF health. The
Rio Janeiro con vention and the draught
of the congress of Lima are works
which have exhausted, so to speak,
the subject which engages our atten-
ton, and because Of the accuracy. GEAR
ness and care with which they have
been edited, they may serve as model,
with respect to form and &c neral idea,
for sanitary conventions. Therefore,
the committee thinks it should recon-
mend them to the consideration of the
honorable international American con-
ference. The committee, in conclusion,
recommend the consideration Of the
following propositions by the confer
ence: That, taking the existing state
of the relations between the nations of
America, il is as practicable as it is adj
visable for the pr emotion of those re-
lations to establish perfect accord with
respect to

taries have been attended by destruc-
tive floods, and the water in the Lower
Ono and Mississippi rivers has not
reached it's maximum height at this date.
There has been less rain than usual
throughout the South Atlantic and Gulf
states and generally throughout the
Northwest and Southern New England.

brass work.
