WASHINGTON, May 20.-Friday's cabi-
net meeting determined the policy of
the administration on the Chinese ques-
ton. The session lasted for two hours
and half and all the possibilities were
discussed. 1t was finally decided that
the president could not execute the
Geary law. The conclusion was reached
after the consideration of a statement
presented by the secretary of the treas
ury as to the resources furnished by
congress. The lack of resources was
made most painfully evident by the
statements of the attorney general and
Mr.. Carlisle and the result will be
that the Geary law will not be put into
operation until congress provides the
means therefor

he recited ''Sheridan's Ride The poem
was written in this city by Thomas Blu
chanan Reed and recited for the first
time thirty years ago by Murdoch dur
ing performance at the old Pike opera
house.
James Edward Murdoch was born in Phila.
delphia, January 25, 1871. He was one of the
last of the actors Of the old school, of which
Forrest, Macready and the elder Booth
were the chief exponents He learned
the trade of bookbinder, but on O.
tober IL, 1885, appeared at the Arch
street theatcr, Philadelphia, as Frederick in
Kotzebues play of Lovers Vows" afterward
acting for many years in most Of the large cit
les of the United States. In 1910 he became
stage manager of the Chestnut street the
ater in Philadelphia, and IN the follow.
ing year temporarily withdrew from the stage
to lecture on Shakespeare and to teach elocu-
ton. The attraction OF the stage, however,
proved too much for him, and in 1S45
he returned to the drama, beginning
an engagement at the Park theater in
New York as Hamlet, and afterwar6
making a tour of the United States
and Canada. In 1856 he went to England, where
he scored a success at the Haymarket theater,
but in 1857 he again abandoned the stage
and settled on u farm near Lebanon. o.
During the war OF the rebellion he nursed
sick and wounded soldiers in the hospital, gave
readings for the benefit of the United States
sanitary commission and became volunteer
aid on the staff Of Gen. Rosecrans. Up to
within two years he was professor Of elocution
at the Cincinnati College OF Music.
Murdoch's best efforts were in the line of
genteel comedy and juvenile tragedy; his

CLEVELAND, O., May 29.-Judgc
Kicks, of the United States federal
court, has appointed Samuel r. Gallo
way receiver of the Toledo, St. Louis &
Kansas City railway, known as the
''Clover Leaf line. This action was
taken at the instance of Stout &
Cory, of New York, who have an I'M

the road. In their bill the plaintiffs set
forth that a large amount of unsecu1 ed
claims are pending against the de

and Illinois, aggregating in all near
ly s1,o00,000. Suits, they say, have
been begun on many of these claims
and others are about to be instituted,
and the road is insolvent and unable to
meet them. Col. Robert G. Ingersoll,
general counsel for the company, who
was present, consented to the ap-
pointment on behalf of the company,
and application was at once made
before Judge Woods, of the United
States circuit court at Chicago, for q
similar appointment for Indiana and
Illinois. The Toledo, st. Louis & Kan

mated at 100000.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, May 22.-Pittsburgh
ano vicinity was visited by the most
violent hailstorm ever known here Sat
urday afternoon. The effect was most
disastrous to life and property. Tele-
phone and telegraph wires were pros.
trated in every direction; electric and
cable cars were stopped by broken wires
or debris choking the conduits and
traffic was suspended for long time
In the east end of Pittsburgh and upper
wards of Allegheny City nearly
every window glass on the south
sides of the buildings were
shattered, while all over both
cities skylights, greenhouses, private
and park Conservatives were shat
tered and foliage ruined. In the
Phipps conservatory in Schenley park
over 5000 lights of glass were broken.
At the opera house and Bijou theater
serious panics were narrowly averted
and several women tainted from fright.
The singing pelting of the hail
caused number of serious accidents
by frenzied horses. Twenty horses,
some of them valuable, are known to
have been killed in Pittsburgh, either
by collision or becoming entangled in
electric wires. One valuable team at
tached to a carriage standing in front
of the Monongahela house plunged
into the Monongahela river and was
drowned.
The money loss will be very great,
various estimates placing the damage
above half a million dollars. On Ne,
vile island, in the Ohio river, the dam.
age to garden and farm products is es.
timated at over 500, 600.
