WASHINGTON, April 3O.-The House went
| into committee of the whole on the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill.
Post OF Illinois offered an amendment re-
storing Denmark as a separate nation and
fixing the Minister'S salary at $500.
Butler Of Iowa supported the proposition.
Blount opposed the amendment Lynch
and Bushnell of Wisconsin both favored
the amendment Hit of Illinois also ia
vored the amendment. Biount asked unan-
| imous consent that the debate on the amend
| ment be considered as closed. Cummings
of New York objected. After a spirited
sally Blount withdrew his motion.
Cummings was then accorded the floor
| and said he would vote for the amendment
| as he wanted to rebuke the House for the
| parsimony which was being exhibited.
''The Committee on Foreign Affairs" he
| said, "had done an injustice not only TO the
| people OF Denmark but TO our sister repub-
| lies in South America. This parsmony vir-
| tually meant legislation favoring the rich
| as against the poor, for by reduLing the
salaries of Ministers and COnsnls the Offices
were placed IN the hands Of the plutocTats

sition to the amendment. which was then
/ adopted.
Blount offered an amendment reducing
| from $4,000 to $4,000 the appropriation for

| the diplomatic and consular service. Oppo-
| siti0n 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.
Breckenridge of Kentucky and McMillin
criticized the President for committing the
| Government to the doctTine that the United
| States was responsible for a riot in State,
and for paying the indemnity out Of the

Hit defended the President.
Chipman of Michigan offered q proviso
that no part OF the sum appropriated as

No action was taken on Chipman's motion,
and the committee rose and the House ad-

here this morning al o'clock, carrying the
money TO pay off Speep Ranch mine en-
ployes, was attacked by stsge-rObber
about five miles from here. Michael TOvey,
the messenger, was on board and lady
passenger. The rObbeT, without warning,
fired into the stage, presumably at the mes
senger, but a shot struck the driver, Babe
Raggio, in the breast, mortaliy wOunding
him. Another shot struck one OF the ladies.
Miss Rodersino. In the head. The messen-
ger was shot through the right arm, be-
tween the shoulder and elbow. inhIeting a
flesh wound. The r0bber used a shotgu

died with bullets. He stood behind tree,
and the first warning of his presence was

was caught by the messenger before he fell
from the stage and was strapped In. Tne
messenger jumped to the ground, but the
cowardly assassin had fed This compelled
the messenger to look to the dying and he
Immediately took the reius and drove to

still alive, but died Immediately after
reaching the house. Young Raggi0 was

Another special to the Independent from
San AndTeas this evening says: Part Of
the Sherff's posse has returned. The as
sassin is not caught. His tracks were fol-
lowed. leading north. toward Murray Creek
and D0ak'S old mill. The Sheriff is still out
with a large force. The robber is a we'll
built man, rather heavy set, dressed in e
dark suit and had on mask. Some be-
leve he remained in San Andreas last even
ing as fresh tracks were seen going up the
Sheep Ranch road that could not be found
above the scene. 1t would be reasonable
for him to wait in town till he knew that
the bullion bad arrived from Valley Spring.
He shot without warning. He was on the
left side of the stage at an elevation above,
as some of the shot went through the top or
the stage. Eight buekshot were found In
the stage. Four struck the driver. two in
the right breast. in the lung, where the bull
lets are now lodged, and two in the right
shoulder, though not serious. The driver
lies in critical condition, but the doctors
are battling for his life. The young lady
was shot twice in the head and once in the
body. Messenger Tsyey's escape from death
was marvellous, as the shot struck all
around him. Another young lady was
saved from death by the shot striking the
bow Of the stage directly In front OF her.

SACRAMENTO, April 30-The crop -eport
for the past week, as issued by the State
Agricultural Society In cooperation with
tho United States Weather Bureau, was
telegraphed East by Observer Barwick this
morning. Continued cool weather with
light frests has damaged fruit and grapes
TO considerable extent Haying has com-
menced, and the yield is more than the av-
erage In Northern California; but light In
the south. Rain Is needed for late grain, or
else there will not be an average yield. The
weather has been exceedingly cool and
frosty for the last week in April.
PORTLAND, April 30.-Tbe weekly report
OF the Oregon Weather Bureau says the
temperature conditions throughout the State
are markedly deficient. The precipitation
is largely in excess of the normal amount.
Copious rains have fallen on the Eastern
Oregon and Washington grairI-felds. The
grain acreage has been greatly increased,
and is larger this year than ever before,
with much better prospects of good yield.
Grain on the low lands in the western part
of the State was slightly injured by the con-
tinued wet weather. Frosts have done some
damage to fruit, though the total product
will not be lessened. Vegetation has little
growth aud is fully four weeks later than
usual. The wool crop promises to be un-
usually large and fine.
