Warden Burke Of the District iail

der frightened up consid erabIy, but
be soon relapsed into the deep despondency into
which his conviction plunged him. and despite
the increasing efforts Of the prison officials
to tempt him to eat, he has since his con-
viction subsisted almost entirely upon milk and
Burke, ''tries to eat and tries to shake off the
dependency which hangs over him. but il
seems impossible to do either, We grant him
every privilege which does not conflict with
the rules Of the institution, but we
allow no one outside of his counsel and imme-
date family to visit him. Indeed, We prevent
outsiders from even taking glimpse Of him.
We do this both because of his request and be-
cause We do not propose to crafty
morbid curiosity Of the general public.
Since Schneider's conviction the number of
people seeking admission to the iail has been
beyond all reason. OF course their only object
was to see him and the great majority OF the
visitors has been women. All manner Of ex-
them and number Of the ladies'
made known their names, but at the same time
begged that their presence at the jail would not
be mentioned to any one. But none OF the gen.
eral public has been admitted and none will be-"
None Of Schneiders relatives but his brother
Will and young lady cousin have visited him
since his conviction. Schneider, despite his
dependency, expresses his confidence in his
counsel to obtain new trial and his ultimate
acquittal. His present condition is ascribed by
DR.. McWilliams, the jail physician, a. the result
OF the shock caused by his conviction.

PENSION APPROPRIATIONS

PROBABILITY THAT THE HOUSE WILL REVISE
THEIR BILL WHEN 1T CONES BACK
The belief is prevalent among many Senators
that the House has cut the appropriation
for pensions below the absolute require
ments of the law, and it is probable that the
total appropriation car ied by the pension APP
priation bill will be swelled by several millions
OF dollars when 1t 10 returned to the House by
the Senate. The commissioner in submitting
estimates to Congress Of the amount Of money
that would be required to pay pensions
sum at s147,OOO,000 The House appropria-
tons committee in fixing the appro-
pristion cut Ella, 600 from this estimate,
leaving the total appropriation s1S4. 900, 900.
was the belief by the committee founded upon
a careful scrutiny Of the workings Of the pen
sion Office that at the end Of the present fiscal
year there would remain unexpended from
the general appropriation tho sum Of Sl5,00O,-
600. As this surplus would be available to sup
plement the appropriation for next year it was
held that those appropriations could we'll be
reduced by an amount nearly corresponding to
the surplus.
But that action was taken by tho House COM
rnittee many weeks ago. and meantime the pen
sion Office has been working along with much
diligence and has paid SO many pensions
that the Senators have come to the conclusion
that the surplus left at the end of the present
fiscal year will be nearer five million
dollars which, If true, would oblige the Senate
to add nearly Sl0,000,0O0 to the total OF the
pension appropriation bill a. it came from the
House.
it is probable that with view to fixing the
appropriation as nearly as possible at the re-
qulrements OF the pension bureau the pension
appropriation bill will be allowed to remain
Enacted upon in the Senate committee Of appro-
priations until the end Of the fiscal year il close
At hand, or at least until there is
obtainable more definite inform alton than is
now on hand with reference 70 the amount OF
the surplus.

LONDON. April 16.-The Daily News in addi-

by the United States to Italy was dictated
solely by sense of right says that the digni-

lynched are very lucky. According to the

GUTHRIE, OKLA, April 16.-The excitement

ances it will rival the famous open

The Presidents official proclamation a. pub
Eshed in the Oklahoma State Capitol yesterday

During the past week over $10o, 900 have been
deposited in the banks at Ell Reno and King
fisher by the white boomers. Many Of those
who did not deposit their money have had it
stolen from them OF have lost much Of it In gam

three or four days.
Kansas City and Wichita have emptied ali Of
their crooks" into towns on the border Of the
reservation, and the local officers are unable to
cope with any such gang with any degree Of
success.
The Cheyenne Indians have stopped their
ghost dances and come in from their reserva-

The soldiers stationed along the northern

A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER.

ONE SENATE PAGE SLABS ANoTHEA IN A DIF-
FIcULTY THIS MORNING.,
During many years past it has been the Gus
tom for the boys employed in the Senate and
House to settle any little difficulty between
themselves by square and fair stand-up fight.
The authorities have winked ct the practice,
believing that these difficulties are in this way
more speedily settled and leave fewer traces Of
lingering resentment than by any other method
of adjustment
Boxing gloves are kept in hiding near con-
venient places in tho long corridors in the sub
basement and the boys thump each other to
their hearts content, with results rarely more
disastrous or enduring than . blackened eye or
bloody nose.
This morning, however, there was break in
the old custom. Two of the Senate pages
quarreled over a waste basket and one of the
boys, losing his temper, grssped n
sharp Instruments pocket knife or an
awl. as reported-and make q vicious lupge
at his opponent An ugly cash in an
overcoat was the extent of the damage and be-
fore the boy could follow up the attack he
was seized disarmed and cuffed by old Capt.
Bassett. There is much indignation felt by the
pages at the occurrence and some speculation
a. to the outcome of the affair.

DENTAL nomination. OF course the general is
not making any such assertion lust now, bat
he will make 1t before long. He has been con-
sulting closely and at length with many OF
his best friends-peopIe who are really inter-
ested in his welfare--and they have Unanimously
advised him to withdraw his name. Up TO this
time the general has not given much apparent
attention to the wisdom of bis associates, but it
is very generally understood today that
he will gracefully remove himself from the
blaze Of sunlight (Which il directed at every
Presidential csndidate) before the rays be-
come hot enough to scorch. Gen. Algers friends
speak in the highest terms Of his fitness for the
Presidential Office, but they realize that Gen

SOCIETY OF ANARCHISTS SAID TO BE IN THAT
CITY.
CHICAGO April 16.-A Minneapolis dispatch
states that that city is greatly excited over the
discovery of a local society of anarchists, whose
parent organization is in Chicago. This society
Is most powerful organization and has branches
in every large city in the Union. The local
society is a particularly hourishing one, and
although its meetings are held in the strictest
secrecy, neophites are added at nearly every
session.
The agents Of the society are servant girls or
buffers. They secure employment in wealthy
families and pay close attention to every
thing that occurs. The manner of living
Of the families IL carefully noted, also
the kind of food used on the table
and the estimated cost of the same,
the ramount and kinds Of wines dank, the
furnishings of the residence, the quality of
clothes worn by the inmates. and. in TACT, every
thing that goes to make up firstclass establish
ment. The agent makes q weekly report OF all
this to the society.
The ultimate object of all this is not appar-
eEt, but the wealthy people of the city are
already having visions of dynamite bombs and
other terrible murderous missiles Of assassin.
