In the House.

WASHINGTON CRY, April 80. - The
House went into committee of the whole
on the diplomatic and consular appropria-
ton bill today. Post of Illinois offered an
amendment restoring denmark as a separat
mission and fixing the minister's salary
at $780, Butler of Iowa supported the
proposition. Blount opposed the amend
ment. Lynch and Bush of Wisconsin,
both favored the amendment. Hill of Ill
inois also favored the amendment. Blount
then asked for unanimous consent that
debate on the amendment be considered
closed. Cummings of New York objected.
After a spirited debate Blount withdrew
the floor and said:
He would vote for the amendment as a rebuke
to the House for the parsimony which it exhib-
tied. The committee on foreign affairs had done
an injustice not only to the people of Denmark,
but to the American republics OF South Amer
lea This partimony virtually meant legislation
favoring the rich and against the poor, for by
reducing the salaries the ministers and consuls'
Offices were placed in the hands of plutocrats
and taken from the hands of educated laboring
or professional men. He appealed to the House
not to place the government in position where
it would be regarded as one OF the national
misers of the world. [Applausel
Blount said he would not press the OPP
position to the amendment, which was
then adopted. Blount offered an amend
ment reducing from $4,000 to $4,000 the
appropriation for meeting the unforeseen
emergencies arising in the diplomatic and
consular service. Opposition to the
amendment brought the Italian question
to the floor through the criticisms on the
payment of the italian indemnity
out of the emergency fund. Brock
inridge of Kentucky and Nc
Millin criticised the president for
committing the government to the doc
trine of the United States responsible for
riot in the state, and for paying an indem-
nifty out of the fund not intended for that
purpose. Hit defended the president.
Chapman OF Michigan offered a proviso
that no part of the sum appropriated as an
emergency fund shall be paid to any
power in settlement of any claim against
the United States. No action was taken
on Chipman's motion, and the committee
rose and the House adjourned.

DIR. sCUDDERs BLOODY COAT.
His Wife Tries to Smuggls 1t Out Of
the Prison.

CHICAGO. April 30.-Mrs. Henry Martyr
Scudder, the wife of DR.. Scudder, now in
Jail on q charge of numbering his mother
in-law, Mrs. Dunton. attempted today to
take from Jail the coat which is valued as
evidence in connection with the coming
trial. She visited the prisoner today, and
told the jailer when she went in
that her little boy would come
for her husbands soiled clothing.
The boy came and was given a cumber-
some bundle. The boy passed the turn
key, and was on the point of leaving the
Jail when he was halted. Mrs. Scudder
appeared on the scene, and at first threat
ened, then begged and pleaded that the
boy be allowed to pass out, but without
avail. She held the bundle until it was
forcibly taken from her possession.
When the bundle was examined the
overcoat in question was found. DR..
Spray. who was attending the alleged
murderer on behalf of the state, discov-
cred blood stains in the pocket some
time ago, and the prosecution propose to
build theory that it contained the
weapon with which the murder was COM
mitted. States Attorney Longenecker
admits that blood stains were found in the
pocket of the coat, and says the garment
was put in safe keeping and will be pro-
duced at the trial against the prisoner.

York Fire After Midnight.
New York, May lat 1 AS o'clock this
morning fire was discovered in the cellar
of a three-story brick house at 1s9
Broadway, Williamsburg. On the Sec
ond floor lived John Scatter, wife,
four daughters and son. The family
became panicstricken, and despite warn
ing cries and shouts the daughter Maggie
jumped from a window and was horribly
mangled. The third floor was occupied by
Thomas Tubbs and family of ten. five of
whom are missing. A 2-year-old baby and
one of the sons were taken to the
hospital frightfully burned, and it is
thought they cannot live. A fireman
found Benjamin Tubbs, II years old. on
the third floor, badly burned about the
face and hands, and overcome by smoke.
A fireman carried out the 2-year-old
baby. and others did some good
service. Smoke drove the fremen
out finally. Then it was found that
five children of the Tubbs family were
still missing, and it could not be learned
whether the children were still in the
building. Several of those rescued
were burned and sickened by
the smoke, and were removed to
the Western District hospital. At half
past the fire was not under control, and
people living in houses adjoining the
burning building were running into the
streets half clad or with clothing in their
arms. At the last report it was believed
five Tubbs children persisted in the flames.
