BEAT HIS WIFE.

Millionaire McComb's Method of Pre-.
 venting a Mother Seeing Her Children.
 WILMINGTON, Del, April 21.-Mrs. McComb, the defendant in the suit now pending here, was brutally beaten and seriously injured by her husband at his Claymont residence When the couple separated it was stipulated that Mrs. McComb live in the city, while her millionaire husband should con- tinue to occupy his mansion at Clay mont; that their three children should remain with him, but should be brought to the city to see their mother at least once a week until the divorce suit should be settled.
 The children, so it is alleged, failed to visit their mother during the week, and she, fearing something might have befallen them, went to their country home. When she reached the house she was met at the door by her husband, who, enraged at her presence, beat her into state of semi-unconsciousness ss and threw her into a stable near by, and left her presumably dead.
 Some friends hearing of the occur renee stole into the stable and brought her to this city in a carriage. She il now at her home under the care of a physician. She is not dangerously hurt. No formal complaint has been made to the authorities yet, and Mo- Comb has not been arrested. It Is be- ieved, however, charges will be perfer- red against him, and he will be arrested for assault with intent to kill.

 LONDON, April 21.-The l. !istriot meetings convened in Londo, yester- day by the Federation of Labor unions, to consider the eight-hour movement, approved the proposition to hold a monster meeting in Hyde Park on May 1.
 The largest meeting was in Hyde Park, and was addressed by several of the most prominent leaders of the short day movement. The chief speaker was John Williams. Among other things he said: 1.-The workingmen now have four holidays every year, forced upon them whether they want to observe those days or not. These holidays are primarily for the benefit of other classes than the workingman. and his con- veniences are not consulted in the mat ter at all. The one day that labor has asked for-May lis now denied. We propose to all take our May Day holi- day, however, whether the employers like it or not"

He Prevents His Nepsw's Marriage to .
 Pretty Young Lady.
 ELMRA, N. r., April 21.-A senr atiou has been created here by an affair in which Lyman Davis, nephew and only surviving relative of Gov. Hill, and Miss Belle Snyder, an estimable young woman of this city, are the principl actors.
 Davis and Miss Snyder formerly at tended the academy here, and Q friend ship sprang up between them which fipened into love. The wedding was set for last Wednesday. Davis, who is em- ployed by the United States Electric Light Company, of Newark, was pre-. pairing to come to this city when he was intercepted by Al Hitchcock, one of the Governors trusted friends, who induced him to remain where he was.
 It seems that the Governor is by no means reconciled to the match. He has the highest respect for Miss Snyder, but it is alleged that Davis's uncle has grave doubts az to his ability to support wife.
 Before going to Newark Mir. Hitch. cock came to Elmira and laid these facts before Miss Snyder, and the result is that the wedding is off for the time be. ing. No reflections whatever are cast on Miss Snyder.

WASHINGTON TOPICS
Senator Hawley's Efforts for
 the Worlds Fair Bill.
THE SPECIAL ORDER FOR TO-DAY
There is Likely to be Some Debate en Its
 Various Provisions.

The Land Forfeiture Bill on the Pro- Gramme-To Caucus Again on the sil-
 yer Question-No Agreement Yet on the
 Tarin Discussion-Dessrters from tho
 Army-Col. ochtlrree for Congress.
 WASHINGTON, April 21.-The Worlds Fair bill comes up in the Senate this afternoon as the special order, and MT, Hawley, who has the bill in charge, says he will insist upon It's oonsidsra- tion. There is likely to be some debate on It's various provisions, as Messrs. Blackburn and Vest expect to speak. If the Worlds Fair bill is finished to- day the District of Columbia Appropria- tion bill, which MT. Plumb has given notice he will call up, will be next in order. This, however, can be disposed of in one day.
 The Land Forfeiture bill is on the programme, but may be laid aside to take up the Administrative Customs bill, upon which there will be consid- erable discussion, although the bill has already passed the Senate very nearly in its present form. Some of the Dem ocratic Senators are in position to m make this bill peg upon which to hang po- litical speeches. There is no particular hurry about the Land Forfeiture bill. but from the efforts make by MT. Plumb to have it take precedence last Friday, there is & chance that he will make another effort this week, and if 1t gets up it is likely to be the subject for Fridays debate. Saturday the Sen ate takes up the calendar.
 The business of the week may be greatly influenced by the caucus of Republican Representatives on the sill yer question. Should satisfactory bill be agreed upon in the caucus, it will be brought up for discussion and of the week. This is the disposition at present.
 Other matters of general interest will also be brought forward in the House. To-day Is suspension day, and 1t was agreed to let the regular order go by the board and to take up the conference report on the Oklahoma Territorial bill. This is privileged matter and takes precedence of nearly all other business.
 The Judiciary Committee Is anxious to bring up the National Bankruptcy bill during the week, and will proba- ply succeed in doing so after the Ap- propriations Committee gets the Legis- lative, Executive and Judicial Appropri- tion bill out of the way. There is also a chance that the Judiciary Committee may call up the Copyright bill.
 No agreement has been reached be- tween the leaders of the two sides of the House concerning the tariff discus sion; but MT. Mckinley wants to have 1t begin during the first week in May. and his plan will probably be carried out

ENGLAND IS BOTHERED.
Her Colonies Making Demands that Have
 to be Refused.

Her Colonies Making Dem ands that Have
 to be Refused.
 LONDON, April 21.-England is having considerable difficulty in pacifying her belicose colonists.
 The Canadians actually thought that Great Britain would take up arms against the United States because the Canadian seal fishers and the inhabit- ants of Newfoundland demanded war at once with Franco about the right to capture few Holsters.
 Lord Salisbury informed the discont- ed colonists that their threats of demand ing autonomy or even absolute inde- pendence were regarded with perfect placidity by the Government.
 Now Australia has come in for @ se- were snubbing and the inhabitants of the western part of that vast island are0de- manding autonomy very loudly because their delegates were treated so cavalier ly by Parliament.
 Over four months ago the said dele gates came to London full of their own Importance and a scheme for confedera- tion. After exhausting their patience and their purses it finally dawned upon the gentlemen from the antipodes that they were being made fools of and that the House of Commons had not the slightest idea of granting them the long expected hearing.
 Various fiery editorials have ex- pressed the Australians wrath, but the Australia alone would be tempting morsel for the colonial appetite of Ger many, or perhaps even Russia, and it may be easily conceived what charms such Q prospect would have for the most rabid autonomist.

 an Alleged Home. JAMESTOWN, N. Y., April 21.-The board of health is making an investiga- tion into the condition of the Mikanari Home for friendless children, which shelters fifteen children from infants to eleven years of age.
 The place is kept by MT. and Mrs. Gibson who take charge of all the frisndless children they can secure, and apparently rely on the scriptural state ment that the Lord will provide for them.
 It was learned that from $12 to $15 a month covers the grocery bill for the inmates of the Home, about twenty per sons.
 The investigation showed the sleeping apartments to be in most filthy con ditlon; in the culinary department but little could be found to eat, and the children stated that meat and potatoes were 8 rarity.

LONDON, April 21.-There is proof that the dispatches from Spain have been tempered with since the Valencia affair and 1t is hard to get any news that has not passed through Government hands.
