The Debate.

II was plainly apparent soon after the
House met to-day that there was q
fixed intention on the part Of a number
of Southern Democrats to oppose the
Worlds Fair project because of the
Government appropriation of 81 500, 600
provided for in the general bill.
After some routine business had been
disposed of the Speaker announced
that the consideration of the World S
Fair bill was the regular order
and recognized Mr.. Gambler of
Massachusetts, the chairman of
the committee in charge of the
matter, who made statement concern
ing the allotments of time for discussion
by the committee He said II was the
purpose of the committee to allow
one hour to-day for the discus
sion of the general features of
the project. Each of the cities inter
ested would also he allowed an hour
today. with the closing hour for the
opposition to present its views. To
morrow, he said, the opposition would
be allowed the opening order, with an
hour to each of the cities.
Mr.. Mills of Texas and Mr.. McMillin
of Tennessee objected to calling up the
bill
Mr.. Mills was not satisfied with the
allotment of time. lie demanded half
of the time in behalf of the opponents
of the bill
The Speaker said that in the absence
of an arrangement the matter Of recog-
milton was one for the presiding officer

LOCAL LOAN COMPANIES.
They Appeal for Special or General
Charter Laws.

The Senate sub committee of the Dis
trict of Columbia Committee this morn
ing listened to arguments by representa-
tives of the various loan and trust
companies of the District on the
question of making special or general laws
under which companies of this description
should be chartered.
The companies which have applied for
charters are: United States Guaranty Com
pany, American Security Company, United
States Security Company, Washington
Safe Deposit and Storage and Trust
Company, Union Trust Company
of the District of Columbia, aud
Washington Loan and Trust Company.
Several of the companies have made appli-
cation to change their name and business.
The majority of the gentlemen who APP
peared before the committee this morning
were in favor of special laws, although
many of them said that If they
could not have these they would be salts
fed with a general law on the ques-
tion Colonel A. T. Brltton and j..
X. McCammon represented the Ameri-
can Security and Trust Company; p.
B. Snyder, James johnson, Judge j.
National Safe Deposit Company General
Cresswell, the United States Loan aud
Trust Company, and Mr.. Warner, the
Washington Loan and Trust Company.
Colonel Breton opened the discus
sion in short speech, in which
he made some strong points in favor
of the quantity of charters under special
laws. lie was followed by Mr.. Johson, who
was also in favor of special legislation.
He said that If corporations were allowed to
be established by everyone those who knew
would not be likely to trust them, but those
who did not would lose If these
corporations we're dishonest, and ii
was probable that many of them
unless they were able to show Con
gress Just what they had if a
special charter law prevailed, would most
| likely no dishonest. Judge Wilson
also spoke in favor of special laws
Mr.. Warner was the only one who was
in favor of general laws on the question
He said that in 1892 Christopher Co
lumbus revealed to mankind q new
world and, Weakened from the repose Of
centuries, mighty continent, where
the germ of new civilization ha'
| quickened to the pulse-beat of {
| powerful nation. 1t was appropriate
therefore, that the people of the United
States should celebrate, in 1892, the an
piversary of this, the greatest maritime
event in the history of the world.
1t was question now in which o
the great and growing centres of popu
lation of our country this com
memorative celebration shall taxi
place. He was for New York, because
he believed the selection of New York
meant the greatest possible sue
cess in this undertaking, anC
because of her great advant
ages and its proposition set fortl
a well digested plan for practical oper
alton, which would not, as visionar,
scheme sprung up in the night, fall Il
pieces upon the test Of demonstration
for it was founded upon principles o
business suggested by men of business
New York would assume the RESPONSE
bility to finance it and make it sue
cess.
The site was ready for use now.

Wigaman house heard four shots fired
IN rapid succession, and soon after
Hopkins emerged from the house aud
ran across the street to a livery stable.
He held revolver IL his hand, and on
reaching the stable fred two shots at
his own head.
The first shot missed entirely and the
second only lodged against the skull
bone. Hopkins was taken in charge
and confessed that he had killed his
wife Maggie and his mother-in. law,
Mrs. Wigaman, and gave as his reason
for doing so that he loved his wife TO
distraction and could not live without
her, and, as people were trying to sep
0rate them, he thought he would settle
the difficulty by killing them and then
himself.
Hopkins was brought to Belleronte
and tried for murder. The case caused
great cXcitemant, as 1t was the first case
of murder in the first degree tried in
Centre County in Seventy years. He
was found guilty and sentenced to
hang.
The killing Of the two women was
done in the following manner: lie en-
tered the cellar of his own house at 1
o'clock on Saturday night, and lay
there concealed, with revolver in his
hand, until 10 o'clock on Sunday mora
ing, when he stole stealthily up the
stairs and quietly sneaked up behind
his wife, who was washing dishes at o
table, and shot her twice, killing her
instantly.
His mother in law hearing the shots,
came running down stairs, when he
shot at her, the ball entering the lower
jaw and passing up and out through
the left cheek. The woman retreated
up the stairs and locked herself in a
room. Hopkins followed, broke open
the door, and while the aged lady was
on her knees praying him not to kill
her, he deliberately sent another bullet
through her brain, killing herinstantly.
He then left the house and proceeded
to Alport's livery stable, where the
attempt at self-destruction was made.

Poor People Dying Like sheep

SAN ANToNIo, TEXAS, Feb. 90
Private letters received from Mexico
state that the grip has been more wide

there than anywhere else on the
American Continent. The writers are
American residents of the Mexican
Capital and have no motive TO conceal
the truth. A letter dated the 14th in

This has been especially the case
among the poorer classes, who live gen.
