MURDEROUS TEETH.

IL Dead.

NEWARK. Dec 12-Considerable mys-
terry surrounds the circumstances pre-
ceeding the death Of John Kelly, age 55,
in st. Michael's hospital, on Saturday
night from blood poisoning, resulting
from the bite of human teeth on one OF
his thumbs.
That he received his bite in a fight in
Harrison, across the Passaic river from
Newark, is an acknowledged fact, but his
relatives and friends cannot or will not
tell anything about IL.
When kelly's thumb was bitten he ne
elected 10 for some time. and then went
TO ST. MichaePs hospital for treatment.
Blood poisoning set in, and when il
was seen that there was scarcely hope
of saving his life county physician Elliott
was told.
lie went to the hospital n week ago
yesterday to take Kelly's ante -mortem
statement, but the injured man posi- lively
refused TO tell whom he fought with or
who hit him. Soon afterward he became
delirious, remaining in that condition
until he died.
1t is learned that about two months
ago Kelly went hone under the influence
OF drink and there was tight.
Mrs. Kelly says she was on an upper
floor Of the house ana did not see tue
fight, but that she subsequently heard
that John MaloneJ, boarder, and her
husband had clinched, and when they
were separated Kelly's thumb was bitten.
He was advised 10 have the wound at
tended to but did not regard it seriously
aud neglected it..

A BERLIN CRISIS
The Centre Party Is Loudly Calling
for Caprivi's Resignation.
A MAJORITY IS AGAINST HIM
In the Reichstag-RumoredT That Emperor
william May Dissolve That Body with
out Consulting It-Conferences Have
Been Held and the situation Serious.

NEW YORK, Dec. ia Berlin dispatch
says crisis is expected at any moment
in consequence of the rebuff suffered by
Chancellor Won Caprivi over the army
bill, owing to the attitude of the centre
party.
His retirement Is loudly talked of and
the town is full of rumors.
One is that the imperial message dis
solving the Reichstag will be put into
effect without consultation with the
Reichstag.
Count Won Caprivi said last Thursday
night that he would net retire from the
chancellorship.
Big surprises are at hand. and the fall
of Caprivi will be the elimination of the
series.
The opposition to the army bill may be
estimated as follows:
Centre, 100 votes; Progressists, 81 votes;
Socialists, 20 votes; Democrats, 10 votes:
total, 22l votes.
IL is possible, however, that the bill
may receive the support of sixty-six con-
servatives, Of eighteen liberal conserva-
tives and OF forty-two national liberals.
But If it passes it will be an modified
form.
Caprivi was unwell yesterday, but he
held "A consultation with the conservative
leaders and attributes much of the op-
position to the army bill TO the Ahlwardt
Scandal
Yesterday evening he was summoned
to the imperial palace TO confer with the
Kaiser.
1t was reported late last night he would
withdraw the military bill or tender his
resignation.

NATIONAL LEGISLATION.
Business is Very backward In the IIou

Business is Very backward In the House
OF Rcpresontatives-Senn Active.
WAsHIXGToN, D, c., Jan. 17.-Al-
though the house has not been able 10
act upon any OF tho hundreds OF bills
that have been introduced by its mem
bers, the senate is now i'll the full tide
OF legislation A dozen bills have al
ready passed that body and have been
sent over to tho house. Among them
are several bills making appropriations
for public buildings, class Of meas
urcs which representatives very much
wish to father. The work is to be kept
up this week, and as there arc already
thirty-seven OF these bills on the senate
calendar within easy reach, tho mem
bers OF the house will probably suffer
some loss OF prestige in tho eyes OF
their constituents through the activity
OF the senate.
There is little beyond these measures
us yet for the senate 10 act upon. To-
morrow the We'll and La Abra claims
will DO discussed in connection with
the pending bills to investigate the allie
cations OF fraud in their allowance.
The bill Of reorganizing the system OF
printing and issuing public documents
may also be provocative OF debate
Senator Kyle will talk about marriage
and divorce, and the executive sessions
during the week will probably deyelop
some party feeling, rs it is expected
that the judicial nominations and the
Elmira postmastership will figure in
the proceedings.
After the introduction OF bills to-
morrow the house OF representatives
will take up the measure reported by
Mr.. Richardson, OF Tennessee, from the
joint committee on printing, entitled 4
bill providing for the public printing
and binding and the distribution OF
public documents. It is<expectcd that
ut least hall OF the sessions OF the house
during tho week will be consumed in
the consideration OF this measure.
On Saturday, Nlessrs. McNIilin and
Catchings, members OF the house rules
committee, held their first conference

during the Fifty-second Congress. They
hope 10 be able to report to the house
carly in the week in order that they
may be taken up before its close, but
past experience OF the time necessary TO
accomplish congressional work OF such
delicate nature as the framing OF set
OF rules would indicate that unexpected
delays may defer the report longer than
is anticipated. Besides the illness OF
the speaker initiates against rapid
work. The rules OF the Fiftieth Con-
gross have been referred to the commit
tee, and will with some notifications
constitute the rules OF this Congress.
The senate resolution making an ap-
preparation to dciray the cost OF trans
portation oi American food contribu-
lions to tho famine sufferers OF Russia
is still pending in the house, and is in 4
position to be called up on motion TO
reconsider tho vote by which the house
emasculated the resolution by striking
out the appropriation.
