A STUDY IN JAGoLoGY.
The Report of the Committee on Mr.
Watson's Charges.

WASHINGTON, August 5.-Representa- s.
tive Boatner has finished his report on
the result of the investigation made by
the special committee of the House into
the charges preferred by Representative
Watson of drunkenness among the MEM
bers on the floor of the House. The re-
port is approved by the three Democrat
ic members of the committee and, with
some qualifications, by Re preventative
Grout, the Republican member. The re-
port declares that the committee has no
hesitation in declaring that the charges,
construed in the sense in which they
were made, are false and libellous under
the strictest legal definition Of those
terms. The charges involving Represent
ative Cobb were contradicted by over
whelming evidence, and there was moth
ing in the evidence to justify the imputa-
ton made against him. The facts are,
the report will say, that three, probably
four. members, appeared on the floor,
more or less under the influence of
liquor, but none in the condition de-
scribed in the charges. The committee
will report resolution declaring that
the charges made by Mr.. Watson are not
true, and constitute an unwarranted as
sault upon the honor and dignity of the
House.
Mr.. Grout will submit minority re-
port recommending the adoption of
resolution providing for proceedings
against Mr.. Watson if he refuses to re-
tract or modify his statements.

Carried Away by an Eagle.

DETROIT, Mich, August 5.-Y yesterday
Mrs. Peter Shaw, who lives four miles
north of Allis, in Presque Isle county,
laid her six months old baby on the
grass and returned to the house for a few
moments. During her absence an enor-
nous eagle swooped down on the infant
and sunk its talons into the little ones
flesh and clothing and flew off with its
prey. The infants father quickly COM
pretending the situation, mounted a
horse and armed with a rifle, rode to the
shore of near by lake where he knew
there was an eagles nest in the cliffs.
Shaw arrived just in time to witness q
terrible sight. j Two eagles were hover
ing just above crag of rock, battling
for possession of the baby, that lay high
upon the cliff. Before the father reached
the summit, one of the eagles
had fallen to the ground dead, while the
other had again taken up the child for
another flight. Shaw fired and the bird
and baby fell into the water. The fran
tic father plunged into the lake, and
caught up the body, but the little one
was dead.

AT PAeo-PAGo.
Johu Bull Said to Have Taken One of
Uncle Sans Stations.

SAN FRANCISCO August 5.-Sensational
news was received here today by Aus
tralian steamer. Copies Of the Evening
Star, of Auckland, New Zealand, arrived,
containing the following:
''News from FIJI by steamship Ovalace
today states that Fl. M. S. Scuracon,
which recently annexed Gardiner, Dan
ger and Nassau Islands in the Central
Pacific, returned to silva from Samoa on
the 27th ult. She left Apia harhor on
the goth ult., and proceeded to the
Island of Tutuila with the Land Com
missioner of Apia, Mr.. Hazard. The
land commissioner went ashore to settle
about some land disputes and select a
place for coaling station, and the ship
returned to Pago Pago harbor.
"This harbor was formerly used by
Americans as boating depot, but with
the loss of their ships in Apia in the
hurricane of 1889, it's use has been dis
continued. England seems to intend to
use it for the same purpose, as the COM
missioner has allotted piece of land
there with that design, although it may
be some time before the depot is ready
for use."
The place selected is very suitable for
coaling station, as the water is very
deep. A wharf runs out thirty feet, and
the men-of-war can haul alongside it and
be loaded. 1t is land-1ocked, ,and has every
facility for good coaling station.
The news has created considerable ex
citement here. None of the naval Off
GERS seem willing to commit themselves
to positive opinions on a matter concern
ing which SO little information is OBJ
tainable.

o'DoNNELL's TRIP.
It is Said to Have Caused the Strike at
South Bend.


HOMESTEAD, August Sit is reported
the strike at the Studebaker wagon works,
South Bend, Ind, is the first result of
Hugh O'Donnell's trip. According to
people who are in a position to know,
Mr.. O'Donnell started to work up boy
cott sentiment against the Carnegie Steel
Company's material. Ifreports received
here are trustworthy, he has succeeded
in closing down the largest wagon works
in the world. There are fully 20 other
manufacturing concerns dependent upon
the Carnegie Steel Company for their
material. There was no change at the
mill this morning. Information was re-
ceived at Gen. Wiley's headquarters
here that no trouble occurred during the
night at Duquesne.

Contained Too Much Dynamite.

WASHINGTON, August 5.-The Judicial
ry committee of the House this morning

investigated the Homestead trouble and
the Pinkerton system, instructed the
sub committee to continue the investiga-
ton during the recess and report at the

HOW THE SENATE ADJOURNED,
A Discussion of the Finances Precedes
the Leave Taking.

WASHINGTON, August 5.-In the Sen
ate today, the Worlds Fair bill, having
been received from the House, having
been read in full, and the Vice President
having declared the bill open to amend
ment, long debate followed. The bill
was ordered to it's third reading at last,
and was passed without division.
The Senate, at 4.05, took a recess until
8 o'clock. to give time for the enrolling
of the Worlds Fair bill, and the sundry
civil bill.
When the Senate re-assembled, Mr..
Pettigrew, chairman of the quadro-cen-
tennial committee, called up the resolu-
tion to authorize the committee OF a sub
committee thereof, to visit Chicago dur
ing the recess and enquire as to the ex-
penditure of money appropriated by
Congress and as to the general manage
ment there. This was agreed to.
The conference report on the sundry
civil appropriation bill was agreed to.
Mr.. Henderson spoke of the business
of the session. 1t was unprecedented he
said at least for many years past that the
calendar was reduced as it was now. Mr.,
Allison said that the appropriations of
the first session OF the Fifty
first Congress were in round numbers
$463, 900. 600; of the present session,
$5O7 100000. The postal appropriations
would fall very short of meeting the nee
essary expenditures of the year 1898:
Large deficiencies for the post office and
other departments would be necessary at
the next session.
At II, the Senate adjourned finally.
Vice President Morton, in a few appro-
pirate words, paid tribute to the mem
bers who had died during the session.
He expressed his appreciation of the res
olution of thanks to himself and then
declared the Senate adjourned.

Enquired for the Deadly Acid


at Smiths drug store, but whether for
herself or some other person remains to
be proven. The police are acting slowly
and carefully in the affair, giving way no
doubt, to feeling of sentiment because
of the high social standing of the par
ties involved. The strictest kind of a
guard is being kept on the house and all
the inmates, John Morse went out four
times today on various errands, and
each time was followed close
ly by a detective and patrolman.
Tonight in company with the servant
girl he walked to the post office. Before
reaching it they were surrounded by a
crowd Of 1000 or more. Five policemen
kept the crowd back while the parties
were returning to the Borden homestead.
The excitement is greater tonight if any
thing than last night. A crowd of 800
people are standing in front of the house
but the police do not allow stragglers to
hang over the fence or loiter on the side
walk.
From all indications it would seem as
if the funeral services tomorrow would
have an official flavor. During the day
the clothing worn by the deceased per-
sons was buried near the house. Miss
Lizzie kept her room all day and has
been inaccessible to all callers.
In police circles tonight it is being
talked that the two murders occurred
after the victims were rendered uncon-
scious by drugs.

Inquiry For a Bottle of Poison.

The Globes story has been verified by
the highest authority. There now seems
no doubt that some one in the family
was anxious to have the father and
mother out of the way. The demeanor
of Miss Lizzie through the trying ordeal
of being confronted with the man who
says she asked about poison was Of half
contempt and scorn. Her conduct as OBJ
served by the police since the affair hap
pened, had been strange inasmuch as she
has stood the pointed questioning of all
who have interviewed her with a show
of no other feeling than that of disin-
terested party. 1t is generally known
among close friends of the family that
Lizzie has not been upon the best of
terms with the other members of the
household. 1t is alleged that for some
time previous she did not sit at the same
table with the other folks, but had her
meals served at a separate table. The
feeling of GOODNESS between the members
of the family is unaccounted for by police
or neighbors. The murder had hardly
been discovered before she told a neigh
Dor that she was very sorry as she had
arranged to go to Marion on a vacation.
Tonight it was learned that Miss Liz
zie had enquired at the drug store for
hydrocyanic acid in diluted form, saying
that she wished to use it on furs. Medi-
cal Examiner Dolan stated the acid
would be of little use for such purpose
as it has no antiseptic qualities, but is
an exceedingly injurious acid to the hui
man system. There is not the slightest
doubt that Miss Lizzie

morrow. The Fall River Globe tonight
says that the police learned from Eli
Beare, drug clerk, last night that Miss
Borden had been in the store within 36
hours previous and had inquired for a
certain poison. There clerk was asked
to accompany the officers and closely
questioned as to the exact facts relative

GERS then led the drug clerk to a resi-
dence on Second street, where Miss
Lizzie was stopping for the time being.
The young man was not previously well
acquainted with the young woman, but
he had told them that he could identify
her at sight. He did identify her and in
the presence of the police officers in
formed her that she was in his place OF
business and made
