THE WORLDS FAIR BILL.
1t May be Modified by the Committee
The Talk at the Capitol.

The House let up on the worlds fair busi-
ness today to give the Chicago folks time to
get their wind after the long sustained effort
Of yesterday. The bill is still in the hands of
the select committee and will be reported back
to the House by them as soon as 1t has been 1T
ted to the conditions in Chicago. No meeting
Of the committee was held today. but one is to
be called as soon as convenient, when the
financial representatives of Chicago will be
consulted as to the details of the bill The
original Chicago bill may be reported There
is some difference of opinion concerning the
appropriation Of 81, 500, 600 for the government
exhibit, and the sum may bes decreased. An
effort will be made even to strike it out
CONSIDERED AS FINAL.
The general disposition is to regard the deci-
sion in the House as final, without appealing to
the Senate to change it. The friends of the
other cities who are committed to the PROPOSE
ton of q fair are expected to act in good faith,
and 1t is expected that the bill will pass quickly
through the House, though there will be con-
test over some of the details.
WHAT Is SAID ON THE SENATE SIDE.
The idea on the Senate side is that the YER
dict of the House will be accepted and the bill
passed with Chicago as the site. Some Sena-
tors who were opposed to the whole PROPOSE
ton as long as there was a chance of New York
getting the fair have signifed their intention
to vote for the bill since the House has given
Its decision.
AIR. Gambler, chairman Of the committee, has
Issued call for a meeting tomorrow.

MRS. BONES ON SUSAN.
The Dakota Suffragist Takes Her Turn
at Talking.

Mrs. Marietta NJ. Bones Of South Dakota, the
rather eccentric but always enthusiastic woman
suffragist, is in town in attendance upon the
Woman's liberal union, which is holding its
initial meeting at Willard hall
Mrs. Bones is a very advanced woman and
prides herself on the freedom and perfectly
untrammeled condition Of her thoughts Mrs
Bones was one Of the early members of the old
association and for while was vice president
from Dakota, but of late years she has freed
herself from the shackels of that or
ganization. Miss Anthony would have it that
Mrs. Bones was freed, whether she would
or no, for she was not popular with the other
suffragists and her name was erased from their
books without her knowledge. Last week, at
the convention, in this city, Miss Anthony
spoke of Mrs. Bones in very frank and uncom-
plimentary terms. A STAR reporter this morn
ing called Mrs. Bones attention to the inter-
view with Susan Ii. and asked her if she had
anything to say in her turn.
1t does not surprise me at all, said Mrs.
Bones, that Miss Anthony has publicly
ignored me, but, thank fortune. she cannot
ignore my past ten years OF suffrage work in
the Dakotas.
The fact is she would not have been true to
her former self if she did not ignore and abuse
me along with the many others who have
served her longer than myself. more over
rated person than she is does not live, or one
with less of the milk of human kindness within
her. She knows not what love is, except the
love OF money. As an illustration, when one
of the most loving and lovely of women said to
her, My dear Susan, how much do love you,
she replied, with quick and suggestive tap
upon that woman's shoulder: Well, then. il
you love me give me money! Oh, / could
regale you by the hour" said Mrs Bones to
the reporter. with little reminis-
cences of Susan's past life that would
show up her meanness and selfish
ness in glowing colors, but then what's
the use? l am too well known to need to de-
fend myself and it does not pay to run
down any one else" With which perfectly true
remark Mrs. Bones stopped talking for the
time being and returned TO the stage TO discuss
the Ills that female mortal flesh Is heir to in a
country so benlghted as to permit men. re-
ligion, morality and churches to exist within it's
borders.

FIRING ON GRAVE ROBBERS.
A Party OF Louisville Physicians Sur
prised by u Volley I'm Cemetery.

LoUIvILLE, KY, Feb. .25.-While the storm
was at its height. shortly after midnight this
morning, horrible tragedy took place in the
northern cemetery of New Albany. party of
grave robbers were surprised in the act Of des-
ecrating the resting places of the dead and one
Of them was instantly killed.
Three others were arrested and placed in
Jail, but fourth man escaped. The party
consisted of three Louisville pbysicians-Dr. J..
t. Blackburn and DIR. ". E. Grant and
another whose name is unknown and three
colored assistants. They had gone over to
rob the graves of the corpses of Thomas john
son and Edward Pearce. which had been buried
last Sunday and had deliberately planned the
affair. A little carelessness on their part, how
ever, spoiled everything and led to the death of
one of the negro helpers, whose name cannot
be learned. The plot had been given away to
the officers by boy named PEBBLES, who took
a bride and pointed out the graves to the Off
Ger of the cemetery. When the ghouls arrived
at the grave of johnson a voice called
out, Throw up your hands," Taken utterly
by surprise the men started to run and as they
did so there was a volley. One of the men fell
As he dropped to the ground the lightning
flashed ON a pistol he had in his
hand, but he hadn't tried to use
it and died without struggle
The guards closed quickly around
their prisoners and took them to Jail with the
dead man. The coroner will hold an inquest
over the remains of the negro today, when it
is thought he can be identified.

viewed in London last night.

FOR THE DEMOCRATS.
A Decision in Montana That May Seat
Clark and Maginnis.

The contest for sheriff was gone over by the
Montana district court in Silver Bow county
and decision made yesterday that the
count at precinct thirty-four was fair and fully
complied with the spirit of the election law;
that the votes cast in precinct twenty-six
were cast by electors duly qualified according
to law that the canvassing board of Silver
Bow county had no warrant in law for their
illegal actions that they usurped functions
not belonging to them in throwing out the
votes of said precinct, and that Sullivan, the
democratic candidate for sheriff, received a
majority of the legal votes cast at said election.
This decides the legality of the votes cast for
democratic candidates in these precincts, in
Guiding representatives to the legislature, and
virtually decides, it is said, the right of the
democratic Senators now in Washington to rep
resent the state, las having been chosen by q ma
iority of the legally elected representatives

WAITING FOR THE WORD.
The Cherokee Strip VIII be Populated
When President Harrison Says ''Go.o

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-A dispatch from Topeka,
Kan, says parties just in from the southern
border of Kansas state hundreds of people are
gathering there to enter the Cherokee strip
when President Harrison shall declare it law
full to do SO. The strip comprises the finest
part of the Indian territory, being well watered
and timbered. The counties of Cowley and
Sumner were the homes of the Oklahoma
boomers for years while awaiting the signal
from Washington. One thousand claims have
been staked in the strip and there are about
$4,000 claims in all. There are 1000 people
now on the border waiting to go in. BY May
$4,000 people will have gathered along the Kan
sas border to enter the strip. This is not the
full extent of the preparations, however. In
Oklahoma there are thousands of negroes ready
to cross the line northward, and they, too, have
selected their claims Many quarter sections
have as many as five families residing on each
one, four of which will cross the line and be
comfortably located long before the head of
the column can come III sight. These negroes
will be reinforced by thousands of negroes from
Mississippi and Arkansas.

A Bill Providing for Their Payment
to be Reported.

The House committee on claims has decided
to report to the House bill providing for the
payment of the celebrated French spoliation
claims. 1t is estimated that it will re-
quire an appropriation of between eight
and ten million dollars. The congressional
history of these claims dates back to the year
1902, when they we're first reported to the
House by Mr. Giles, in behalf of a select COM
mittee appointed for their investigation. They
were again reported on in 1907. Both reports
contained favorable statement of the facts
without recommendation. Later favorable re-
ports were made on the claims. and several
times a bill Tor the relief of the claimants
passed both Houses, but was vetoed by the
President
