night in st. Joseph's Catholic convent on

MURDERED TWO.
A Tough Fatally Stabs Two Hatters
in Newark, N. j.

NEWARK, N. j., Special.-A double
murder was committed to-day at Herman's
hat factory. The plank room, where two
dozen men employed in sizing hats are en-
veloped in clouds of steam so that one can
scarcely be distinguished from another,
was entered by Fiddler Smith, a notorious
tough. Rushing up to George Hastings he
demanded: "What have you been saying
about me?" Knowing Smiths character,
Hastings retreated to the other side of the
board where he was sizing hats. Smith fol-
lowed him to a corner, carrying drawn shoe
knife. A workman tried to interfere, but
was knocked down. Smith plunged the
knife vigorously into Hastings abdomen,
making an ugly wound from which the
bowels protruded. Frederick Butler then
rushed to Hastings assistance and at
tempted to seize Smith, but the latter
plunged the warm knife in Buffers left
side near the heart, and the sharp-pointed
blade broke against the unfortunate mans
ribs. Butler sank to the floor alongside
Hastings. Workingmen pounced upon
Smith, having disarmed him, bound him
hand and foot and then telephoned for the
police They found upon him another
knife. Hastings died in the hospital and
Butler cannot survive. -.-

Sale of a Crown,

There was q crown to be sold by
auction at Singapore. The Straits
Time says: "The crown is no small
affair, for it is of pure gold studded
with about a thousand bPilliants,
some of which are of twelve-carat-
weight, and it is an historical crown
worn by Malay sultans and sold for
behoofofth the estate of the late sultan
of Perak. As hegold is believed to be
of the Malay peninsula and the dia-
monds are of Borneo, it might be con-
venient to send it home as a sample
of the wealth that our gold and dia-
mond mines are yet to produce. The
value is estimated at about 3d., ,000."

LIKELY TO BE VERIFIED.
Prediction Made by a Represent
tive in Regard to Public Building

Prediction Made by a Representa-
tive in Regard to Public Building.
WASHINGTON, Special.-The house Of
representatives recently has passed many
senate bills appro priating money for public
buildings, but in several cases the appro-
priation clause has been struck out of the
bill. This action recalls the remark made
by representative recently when an outcry
was raised against the ''extravagance" OF
the house and senate because great many
public building bills passed either body.
He said that while more bills for public
building would pass the house or the senate
during this congress than ever before, the
appropriations for public buildings would
be less than in the congress before. In part
explanation of this prediction he said that
he expected the house to pass very few SEN
ate bills and the senate to pass very few bills
that came from the house. If the two
houses follow this policy, and as further
precaution strike out the appropriation
clause for many of the bills, the prediction
is likely to be verified.

PROTECTION THE PARK.
Arguments in Behalf of Uncle Sans

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
Representative Carter and Capt Bou-
telle of Montana, Gen. Benjamin II. Bris-
tow and Archibald Rogers of New York,
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt and Arnold
Hague, of the United States geological sur
vey, appeared before the public lands COM
mittee of the house in favor of the senate
bill for the maintenance and better protec-
ton of the Yellowstone National Park. Mr..
Hague protested against granting any right
of way or franchise for railway purposes
rnroogn the park, and while regrett1ng tha
necessity of cutting of any off the northern
territory admitted the necessity of some
means for reaching Cooke City by rail. An
amendment proposed defines the northern
boundary as follows: Making it coincide
with the boundary of Wyoming and Nom
Its point OF intersection with the north
bank of the Yellowstone river; thence
along said north bank to its junction with
the Lamar river, sometimes called the East
Fork of the Yellowstone; thence along the
north bank OF said river to its intersection
with the parallel of A deg so min.; thence
due east along said parallel to the meridian
of 100 deg. 80 min. west longitude; thence
due south along said meridian.' This
would allow right OF way for railway
purposes from Cinnabar to Cooke City, and
would at the same time permit the con-
struction of any railway up the Clark's
Fork of the Yellowstone river from the
East. The area cut off is only a small cor
ner in the northeast of the park. The
northern boundary east of the Lamar river
would run along the ridge between Soda
butte and Cache creeks leaving Soda butte
canon entirely outside the jurisdiction of
! the park. The committee with the posi-
| BILE exception of Mr.. Holman is favorably
inclined toward the amendment.

WASHINGTON, Special Telegram,
AS stated in these dispatches, the prospects
for any appropriations for irrig alton arr
growing less. The fight is now against Mai
Powell, of the geological survey, who has
heretofore had charge of irrigation matters,
and Senator Plumb of Kansas who has q
grievance against Powell, because the latter
refused to make some appointments he had
asked. The Kansas senator is not q friend
of irrigation. and will do all he can to keep
any appropriation from being made as long
as Powell has anything to do with it. Irri-
CATION was one of the hopes of the North
west, but personal quarrels are to be pan
dered to, although the vast arid region suf

INDIAN. As SOLDIERS.

The project of recruiting an Indian
regiment has been referred to the secre-
tary of the interior for his opinion. 1t is
jections to the plan if the military
authorities can find none, but it is by no
means improbable that he may suggest
sound reasons why It's neither necessary
nor desirable to recruit a regiment of
Indians. The custom of using In
dians rs scouts may properly be
continued, and for this purpose few
additional companies might be organ
lied, but the expediency of1recruiting q
full regiment is somewhat questionable.
1t appears that in the whole depart
ment of Arizona there are only three
companies of Indian scouts, each accom-
panied by white officer. The force of
such scouts allowed by existing statutes
is twenty-four sergeants, sixteen corpo-
rails and two hundred and thirty-tive
privates, making total of two hundred
and seventy-fve. AS to the value of
Indians as scouts there is q
wide difference of opinion. Some
army officers claim that they are
absolutely essential to the sue
cess of operations against hostile bands,
while Others contend that they are not.
The late General Crook was among those
who held the former view, while Cen
eral Miles is said to have less confidence
in the Indians. There is no question re-
garding their value as reservation
police, but their service as scouts has
not always been trustworthy, though it
is true that they have done some excel
lent service, as for example in the eX-
pedition into Mexico against Geronimo.
But while the Indians may have
been useful for military service in
small bodies, it is by no means to be
concluded that in regimental organi-
zation they would be equally reliable.
And if, when recruited as soldiers, they
tories in companies, on equal terms with
the white soldiers, is it probable the two
races would get along peacefully to-
gether? The matter is not one of very
great Importance, but rs there is no
present demand for even increasing the
number of Indian scouts it is not appar-
ent that there would be wisdom in or
ganizing regiment of Indians. The
theory that it would give an outlet to
the restless and martial spirit of the
young men is not worthy of very seri-
Gus consideration. The way to dispose
of these is to compel tn EN- to learn to
work and acquire habits of industry
and knowledge of the means of self
support.
