THE WORK OF CONGRESS-.
Appropriation Bills of Various Nature
to Occupy the Attention,

Appropriation Bills of Various Natures
to Occupy the Attention.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 10.-After
several weeks devoted to the tariff ques-
ton appropriation bills now have the
right-of-way in the House. The bills are
well advanced, and if the programme for
the next two or three weeks is carried out
the question of an early final adjournment
will rest with the Senate. The House,
however, pursuing the policy of retrench-
ment it is probable that long and acri-
monious conference between the two
branches of congress will follow the action
by the Senate on the appropriations before
the bills can be enacted into laws.
Tomorrow is District of Columbia day,
but it is proposed to spend part of the day
on the urgent deficiency appropriation bill,
the Indian and District of Columbia appro.
priation bills, which passed the Senate
and will be put in conference during
the week. The naval appropriation
will probably be taken up Tuesday. Its
consideration will occupy at least two
days, and may probably run till the close
of the week. There will be little discus
sion on the bill as whole, but the Repub-
lican minority, aided by some Demo-
Gratis, who oppose the recommendation of
the majority of the naval committee that
only the construction of one new cruisa.
may be authorized, will make an earnest
fight to have the bill amended SO as TO au-
thorize the construction of two new line
battle ships and perhaps s,me torpedo
boats.
The sundry civil appropriation bill viii.
follow, and probably occupy the ress of
the week.
Besides these bills there are on the calen-
dar consuler and diplomatic and river and
harbor appropriation bills, which in the
following week will be taken up in the
order named.
The committee is at work on the ap-
preparation bills not reported to the House,
and before the bills on the calendar are
acted upon most of the following bills will
have been reported to the House: Post
Office, agricultural, legislative, executive
and judicial, fortifcations and general de-
ficiency bills.
The Senate is to listen TO several set
speeches this week. Mr.. Gallinger has
given notice of an intention to speak to-
morrow on the subject of his bill for the
erection of a sanitarium for pulmonary
diseases, and his colleague, Chandler, is to
follow with speech on the subject of an
election of senators by direct vote of the
people.
The West Virginia direct tax bill will be
the special order for Tuesday, subject to
further postponement owing to the ab-
sence of Senator Morrill,.
The Hoar bill amendatory of the circuit
court of appears act is unfinished busi-
ness, but before it is taken up again the
Senate, according TO recent order will
devote two whole days to the considera-
ton of bills on the calendar which do not
encounter objections.
1t is also expected that during the morn
ing hours of the present week additional
speeches on the subject of silver will be de-
livered by Teller and others.

FOLLOWED KAKL's EXAMPLE.
A Suicides Wife Dies OF Self-1nfaicted
Wounds.

TACOMA, April 10.-[SpeciaI. Church
bells We're ringing this morning when Mrs.
Karl Johnson died from the effects of 3S-
caliber bullet wound, inflicted by herself
with suicidal intent three days ago. Last
Sunday the bells were ringing merrily
when Karl Johnson was found hanging by
the neck to a rail in the corridor of the
city Jail. He expired few seconds after
being cut down.
Mrs. Johnson has no relatives in this
country, but is said by some of her coun-
trywomen that her relatives in Norway are
very wealthy and move in the highest
class of society. At any rate when Mrs.
Johnson learned that her husband had
hung himself she became hysterical, and
remained in that condition until she shot
herself.
She lived alone. The Johnsons were
poor. Work had been scarce. Before she
died Mrs. Johnson said Karl was kind
when sober. Saturday week he got drunk
and abused her, was jailed. and
after eating a prisoners breakfast of
coffee and bread, played cards for a few
minutes, and then went down into the
corridor and hung himself with fish
line passed twice about his neck and
looped over nail used to hang coats and
hats on.
When Mrs. johnson got ready to kill
herself she attired herself in her best
clothes, put things to rights, and, holding
picture of Johnson to her breast with
one hand, she sent bullet through her
left lung.
From Officer Crawford, who befriended
her, she e1acted death-bed promise to
personally see that she was decently
buried by the side of her Karl. Her
household goods will defray the funeral
expense.
Mrs. johnson was 46 years old. She had
had four children by former husband,
but husband and all the children have
died. She wanted to die also because she
had had all the trouble in this world that
she could stand. The disgrace brought
upon Johnson suiciding drove her to
kill herself. If he had died a natural
death she would have gone to her native
country, although pauper.

FIGHT OVER A DAM SITE.
John King Perhaps Fatally Wounds
Near Ph0nix, Ariz.

PHGNIx, Ariz.. April 10-A serious
shooting affray took place this afternoon
at the dam site of Rio Verde, two miles
from this city. Captain John King two
years ago located dam site and claim,
and has spent in the neighborhood of
5000 improving and surveying the same.
Six months ago company OF Minneapo-
lis capitalists jumped the claim, and began
series of improvements. They have
been working a force of twenty-five or
thirty men since that time and have like
wise acquired title to about 5000 acres of
land lying under the contemplated reser-
voir. Yesterday King ordered the party
to quit work at the point of the ride,
which they did. He later insisted on
their leaving their camp, and upon their
refusal fired several shots, none taking ef-
feet. The camp cook, named Crum, re-
turned the fire, hitting King in both legs.
He was brought TO this city in a precari-
Gus condition, and it is thought he will
die. Crum is under arrest. 1t is likely
that a bitter feud will follow for the pos
session of the dam site.

Cowboys Of Malheur Hot Over
Humbert's Murder.
MILITIA ORDERED TO THE SCENE.
Wife of the Tacoma Suicide Who Shot
Herself Died Yesterday.
Could Not Survive tho Disgrace of Her
Husbands Miserable End-Lands
Selected for tho BENEFIT OF state In
stftutions.

BAKER CRY, Or, April 1o-Additional
particulars that have been received from
Westfall, Malheur county, say that the
killing of William Humbert by the Bailey
brothers at the Dem ocratic primaries yes
terday was unprovoked.
The election contest was close and ex-
citing. considerable whisky was consumed
and bad blood soon commenced to crop
out. At one time two of the contestants
for delegates were tie, one being one OF
the Bailey brothers who intercepted Hum
bert who attempted to vote. Hot words
followed and in few minutes Humbert
started for home. Shortly after one of Bailey
boys said that he had been cut on the arm
by Humbert. A brief conference was
held and one of the gang suggested that it
would be the proper thing to overtake
him and kill him. Five of the number at
once mounted their COW horses and started
to carry out their murderous threats.
When Humbert had arrived within a
short distance of home he was overtaken
by the Bailey boys, who were on swift
horses, and it is alleged they riddled him
with bullets, four shots taking effect In his
back.
Humbert's little daughter saw the shoot
ing and ran to her father, but was too late
to see him alive.
Excitement runs high in that section
and strong threats OF lynching are in
dulged in by the cowboys. Sheriff Fell is
doing all in his power to protect the pris-
oners and has petitioned Governor PEN
noyer to detail company F, o. N. G., of
this city, at once.
A telegram has just been received from
the governor ordering the militia to de-
part for the scene Immediately. If the
cowboys, who are organized, do not carry
their threats into execution before the
militia arrives the murderers will be es-
corted to this city for safe keeping.

Heavy storms In MOntana Have Done
Great Damage.
HELENA, Mont, April 10.-[Special. i
Late reports from the ranges are decidedly
discouraging. The storms which have
prevailed for the last two weeks have been
disastrous to the cows and young calves,
especially where they were in poor flesh
previous to calving.
Wool growers are more fortunate than
the cattle men. as they have generally
plenty of hay available to keep their flocks
sheltered. They will lose probably as
many from the effects of the storm as for
the rest of the winter, but after all their
loss will be inconsiderable. Stock in other
portions of the state is in excellent condi-
ton, and the winter losses have been light.
