asked unanlmous consent for conslders-
tion OF the bill appropriating $50, 900
additional to pay the salaries of officials
Tor the enforcement of the Chinese de-
portation and registration act. Agreed
to.
Hines of Pennsylvania asked unani-
nous consent for consideration OF
resolution for the appointment of
committee to investigate the Lehigh
railway strike. Kilgore of Texas OBJ
jected and the resolution was referred.
A recess was then taken till 10 p. m.
AT l 10 the committee to wait on the
president reported it's duty discharged,
and that the president would shortly
communicate with the house in writing.
Ten minutes later Secretary Purden
appeared with the message, and Clerk
Kerr began to read it. The reading
was listened to with marked attention.
During the reading of the first portion
OF the message relating to our foreign
relations. ex.Speaker Thomas B. Reed
burst through side door and came
running across the area in front OF the
speakers rostrdm. When he reached
his seat he deliberately lighted cigar
and eat putting away complacently while
the reading proceeded. As reference to
the Hawaiian affair was reached the
members Strengthened up and gave rhe
closest possible attention, but no ex-
preston of either approval or disap-
proval was INDUCED in. There seemed
to be a general air OF disappointment,
however, that 80 little space was allotted
to this question.
The recommendations relative to an
international monetary conference and
the request for further authority for the
issue of bonds Caused many significant
shakes OF the head ON the part of the
silver men.
The presidents bold endorsement of
the pension policy of the interior de-
partment, of civil service reform, and
his appeal for rigid economy in appro-
priations, also attracted attention.
When the reference to the tariff was
reached the members crowded about
the clerks desk. The forcefuI utter
ance relative to the duty of congress on
tariff and the hearty endorsement given
the Wilson bill seemed to please the
Democratic members greatly, but much
surprise was evident when the section
OF the message was read stating that the
ways and means committee had en-
braced in its plan several additional
internal revenue taxes and a small
tax on the incomes of certain corpora
tions. As it was understood the inter-
nal revenue features and income tax
had not been absolutely decided upon,
the presidents announcement came in
the nature OF surprise. A roar of ap-
plause greeted the conclusion of the
reading.
General Bingham, who had been
selected by the Pennsylvania delegation
to make the announcement of the deaths
of Representatives O'Neill and Lilley,
was then recognized.
A committee was appointed to attend
the funeral of the late Representative
O'Neill of Pennsylvania, and at p. m.
as further mark of respect, the house
adjourned.

MRS. JOHN BRADBURY.
MISS LUCY BANNING'S CHANGE
OF NAME.
The Los Angeles Millionaire and a
Popular Local Belle Join
Hearts and Fortunes
In Oakland.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4.-"Mr. and
Mrs. Bradbury, Los Angeles" was in
scribed on the big register at the Palace
hotel this evening. This incident at
the hotel gave the first intimation Of a
marriage that has all the characteristics
of an elopement. Miss Lucie Banning,
the 1Syear-old daughter OF Captain
William Banning, wealthy real estate
dealer of Los Angeles, was secretly
married in Oakland to the young Los
Angeles millionaire.
Four or five weeks ago the Young
lady left her home and came to this
city as the guest OF the family of S. q.
Murphy, president of the First National
bank. Four days ago John Bradbury
also came to the city, ostensiblv ON
business. Early this evening Miss
Banning left the home of the Murphys
and was soon met by young Bradbury.
The young people, accompanied BY
personal friend of Mics Banning, went
direct to Oakland, where at 7 O'Clock a
marriage license WAS secured, and a
short time afterward the two were
united in marriage by Rev. DR.. Aberly.
They returned direct to the CITY and
appeared at the Palace.
Tonight Mr.. and Mrs. Bradbury told a
reporter that the first thing they did
was to notify their families in Los Anee-
les by telegraph, and that telegraphic
congratu lations had been received in
return

SAN Francisco. Dec. 4.-Hawaiian
Consul Wilder, when he read the news
which arrived tonight from Honolulu
via Port Townsend, was greatly pleased.
When asked what unexpected contin-
gencies Minister Willis had found in

opinion to change its views on

corroborated by what Mr.. Willis has
said in his interview published in the

FRESNO, Dec. 4.--The incident OF the
Evans trial today was the receipt by
Judge Harris of telegram from W. j.
Sontag OF Mankato, Mimi, stepfather oil
the Sontag boys. The message read:
'sJUDGE HARRIs-I forbid you using
Sontsg's name in your court as his. His
name is Conant. Take notice."
The days proceedings were unevent-
full, most of the time being devoted to
the testimony of men who were mem
bers of the pursuing posse, and the
story of the battle at Young's cabin was
several times retold. Frank Burke,
deputy sheriff OF Yuma county, Ari-
zona, said the posse had no idea that
Evans and Sontag were in the cabin.
There was no understanding among the
party to shoot at sight. They would
not have shot had not the robbers
opened fire.

HAZELToN, Pa, Dec. 4.-The strike
situation assumed new phase tonight.
not anticipated by the Lehish Valley
officials. and as the result the latter are
greatly embarrassed. This was a move
ment on the part of the telegraph ope-
rators which closed up the most i'm
portant Offices between Delano and
Hazeiton. This includes the night
dispatcher and two other offices
of the company here. Tonight
meeting is being held by
the strikers, and by tomorrow it is ex.
pected their ranks will be largely in
creased. The situation now is in the
strikers favor. Most of the men who
quit tonight are non-union men. and
the strikers are confident they will be
able to induce new men from taking
their places.

ence between the joint arbitrators'
committee, representing the boards of
the staten of New York and New JERSEY.

shape" 4
An assessment of 81 has been levied
on all union telegraphers on the line in
support Of the strike.

tive Engineers made a speech at the
strikers headquarters and expressed
himself pleased with the conduct OF
the men thus far.
ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Dec. 4.-Fifteen

their posts today, influenced by strik-
ers. The building trades council and
trades assembly passed resolutions of
