ONE OF THE GREATEST OF HIS TIME.
Representative Holman, who served with

was one of the greatest men of his time, and
that during the years he was in congress
Mr.. Randall had done more TO shape legis-

clearly upon our statute books than any
other man ia either house. He was a man
of unswerving integrity, and would never
support any measure which involved any
useless or extravagant expenditure, even il
it was to be spent ia his own district. But

THIS WEEK In CONGRESS.
BOTH HOUSES TO ADJOURN TO-DAY
ON ACCOUNT OF THE DEATH.

The Montana Election Contest Apt to
be Brought to an End Tomorrow
Senator Hawley Waiting to Press
the Worlds Fair Bll-The Customs
Bill Also Ready.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Under the
terms OF Mr.. Hoar's notice, given last Fri
day, the Senate was to be asked to sit Mon
day until the Montana election case shall be
disposed of, but decision of that case will
probably go over until Tuesday, as the
Senate is expected TO adjourn tomorrow
upon the announcement OF the death of
Representative Randall. In announcing
his intention to ask the Senate to ''sit OUT
the election case tomorrow Mr. Hoar stated
that the republicans had no intention of
further discussing it.
Senator Hawley, at the first opportunity,
will call up the worlds fair bill He may
get it before the Senate in the morning
hour Tuesday, and, if no debate should
arise, it will be passed before the Montana
case comes up. Should there be manifested
a desire Co discuss it, however, the bill will
go over until after the Montana case is
settled.
MKIHLEY's ADMINISTRATIVE BILL.
The next bill on the order of business is
the Mckinley administrative customs bill,
but os the appropriations committee will
have the district, army and pension bills
ready fer the consideration of the Senate
during the week, it is scarcely probable
that the customs bill will receive much, il
any attention. In addition to the appro-
priation bills the Senate will be asked by
Mr.. Hale to take up and dispose
OF the bill proposing special enumeration
and certihcation of Chinese residents by the
census officials.
Saturday will be devoted to disposing of
bills on the calendar to which no objection
is made.

Isaac Said to Have Made Confession
Clearing Up the Mystery.

Clearing Up the Mystery.
BosToN. April 13.-The GIo6e prints
what it claims to be a confession made to
his counsel by Isaac B. Sawtelle. who is now
in Jail at Dover, N. H., awaiting trial for
the murder of his brother Hiram.
In the alleged confession Isaac
says ne and Hiram's wife were parties to a
conspiracy to lure Hiram to an abandoned
camp in Lebanon, Me-, to be held captive
by the notorious Dr. Blood and ex-convict
Jack until he should relinquish in writing
all claim to the estate left by his father.
DECoYED TO HIS DEATH
Isaac decoyed Hiram to Rochester, N. H.,
and drove him to a point near the camp.
where he was turned over to "Jacz. " Isaac
claims that his connection with the
case ended at this point, and
that he did not know of Hiram's death un-
til he received letter while in Portland,
telling him it had been necessary to put
Hiram out of the way, and that each OF the
trio must look out for himself. The So
called confesi lion makes most of the evil
dence in possession of the government ac-
cord with the theory of Hirams taking off,
and claims that the murder was committed
in Maine by DR.. Blood and Convict "Jack. "

FORAKER'S PROSPECTS.

Three Reports Looked for From the
Investigating Committee.
WASHINGTON, April l3.-The Foraker
investigating committee will probably be-
gin the preparation of reports this week. 1t
is waiting now for briefs from Gov
Foraker and Mr.. Grosvenor. There will
probably be three reports. Chairman
Mason, Gov. Foraker's friend, will
probably write a Foraker report,
which neither Messrs. Cogswell nor
Strube can sign. Messrs. Cogswell and
Struble will therefore probably write
another report. and Mr.. Turner of Georgia
a third, which Mr.. Wilson of West Vir-
ginia. the other democrat, may sign. Pos.
sibly Mr.. Turner's report may be 80 judi
cial that Messrs. Cogswell and Struble
could sign it.

of Passing.
WAsHINGToN, April 13.-The river and
harbor bill is to be reported Wednesday to
the house. Meanwhile its contents have
been put under seal Of secrecy which
seems to be secure, for wonder. The ap-
gregate Of the bill Is supposed to be $20,-
100000. It is expected to pass the
House, but is likely TO collide in the Senate
with the German harbor bill. with probable
fatal results to the House bill. The German
bill stands a better chance of becoming q
law because it does not appropriate half as
much money, although it prop ased to COM
plete the work in all the principal harbors.

A PAIL OVER PHILADELPHIA.
The Attending Physicians Statement
of the Case,


of the Case.
PHILADELPHIA, April 13.-The news Of
the death of Hon. Samuel J. Randall cast a
gloom over the various democratic clubs in
this city. AT most of them flags hung at
half-mast, and at a few of the
prominent club houses mourning
drapery was displayed. The feeling of sad
ness at the death of the distinguished son
of Philadelphia was not confined to politi-
cal headquarters alone, for in many house
holds where Mr.. Randall was known and
loved there was sincere mourning over his
death.
DIR. MARTIN INTERVIEWED.
DR.. Robert w. Martin of this city, who
had been Mr.. Randall's physician since the
beginning of his illness, was interviewed
tonight by reporter OF the Philadelphia
Press. The doctor spoke feeiingly of his
relations with the deceased s atesman, and
he said he believed Mr.. Randall had known
since last fall that his case was
hopeless The patient never said
SO directly, but the doctor gathered
as much from remarks occasionally
dropped. He was never told, said the
doctor, that he was suffering from cancer

had made such terrible inroads upon his
system that it was merely a question of

serious his case was. They advised against
this, knowing as they did that he was not

The Neus printed exclusively, several
weeks ago, the fact that the Pacific Short
Line had gobbledsLeft Hand canon. near
Boulder, and also Buchanan's pass,
through which the line would cross the
continental divide. This seemed to have
caused the Burlington p eople no anxiety,
as they had already decided to cross at
Boulder pass. But when the announce
ment was made Wednesday that the state
land board had granted the Pacific Short
Line right of way through the cailon on
the Grand river below Hot Sulphur
springs, it opened the eyes Of the Burling
ton 1olks. 1t was an unexpected coup d'etat.
The Burlington, it seems, has been count
ing on running their line through the
canon, and it was most surprising stroke
Tor the enemy to circumvent them. They
were not discouraged in the least, but
realized that whatever vantage they
gained in the cailon they would have to
fight for. A corps of engineers was ac-
cordingly sent to the CANON to run the final
survey and set the stakes, but to their as
constituent they found the Pacific Short
Line engineers were there and had already
done the work.
Inere was no parleylng or hesitation. The
burlington men went to work and ran their
line right over that of the short line clear
through the gorge. They went so far as to
set their pins right by those of the enemy.
