MORE APPROPRIATIONS.
A Final Vote Is to Be Taken This After
 noon on the Bill.

on the Bill.
 WASHINGTON, March 20.-The house did not complete the consideration of the sun dry civil appropriation bill, but Chairman Savers, by the exercise of masterly diplo- macy, succeeded in effecting an arrange ment which will bring it to a final vote before o'clock today. Most of the day was spent in a discussion of the item ap- propriating $150 GOO for the Missouri river.
 This item led to a general canvass of the merits of the continuing contract system began in 1890 and the work of the river commissions. The amendments looking to a diversion of portions of the appropria tion for the emergency work at Atchison and for strengthening the revetments above Sioux City were defeated.
 The remainder of the afternoon was de voted to the discussion of two propositions one requiring the disbursing officers of soldiers homes tO'give bond to the govern ment and providing for the auditing of their accounts by the treasury department, and the other requiring the boards of man. agers to make annual reports of the cOndi- tion of the homes to the secretary of war for transmission to congress.
 General Black opposed the change on the ground that it would interfere with the plenary powers of the board of man. agers. He made point of order against it, which Mir. Lester. in the chair, inti- mated he would sustain. After the pas sage of the sundry civil bill today the house will immediately proceed to the con sideration of the Joy-O'Neill contested election case.
 There was no important business trans acted in the senate, the entire day being consumed in the consideration of bills on the calendar. Most of these were measures of small importance, among them being several of immediate interest to the people of the District of Columbia.
 The senate received from the president message ill regard to the occupation of Bluefelds, Nicaragua, and also a message relative to Hawaiian affairs.

Some New Light.

Through the wall of mystery and reti- cence which has grown up around the of flee where the tragedy occurred there has come some additional light. The most i'm portant evidence was secured from J. Frank kiernan and J. F. Riley, who occupy Room 303, Nassau Cham bers, directly over that in which the tragedy took place. Mir. kiernan was the first man after Magee to respond to Magees cries and the first to enter the room in which the dying girl lay. His evi- dence is diametrically opposed to the state ment made by Magee in several vital par ticulars. It even goes so far as to indicate a premeditated crime.
 Mir. kiernan says he was about to leave his office for the day and was standing at the door when he was startled by a loud report from the steam pipes that pass through his office. He exclaimed to Mr. Riley, Whats that;' and noticed that the pipes were vibrating. There was no explanation just then, and he started down stairs. He was half way down the second flight when he heard Magee calling for the janitor in an excited voice. Then he called to two men who were standing on the stairs to come and assist him. He hurried back. and when Magee saw him he shout ed for him to come in. as terrible acci- dent had happened. Mir. kiernan entered the audience room and then followed Ma gee into the office jointly occupied by him and Miss Fuller.

NEW YORK'S MYSTERY.
Some New Light Shed on Miss
 Fuller's Death.
THEORIES TO PROVE SHE WAS SHOT.

The Man Who First Reached the Room
 Where the Pretty Typewriter Met Her
 Death Observed Some Interesting Things.
 A New Pool of Blood Found.
 NEW YORK. March 20-The web of evi- Gence connecting Joseph T. Magee. the young lawyer, with the killing of Miss Laura !. Fuller. the handsome typewriter in the office of Lawyer Mullen in Nassau Cham bers on Saturday evening. was woven little closer yesterday, and the theory of suicide cOrrespondingly weakened. Superintendent Byrnes personally stepped into the case and detailed two of his best detectives to assist Captain Slevin in the investigation. The latter. who held to the theory of suicide on Sunday, while refus ing to commit himself positively, last night said, While 1 do not say that this is a murder, man can change his opinion as a case develops"
 One of the things which seem to indicate that the unfortunate young woman, if she tance from her head is the fact that no powder marks were found upon her so far as can be ascertained.
 Another thing which has already been dilated upon is that the shot passed through her head from left to right that she is not left handed, and that on her left hand was a glove so arranged that it would have been exceedingly difficult for her to have fired a revolver in any direction with ac curacy. And the revolver, from all appear ances, was aimed accurately when the trig- ger was pulled

Kiernan's story.

As he entered the door he saw the young woman in a sitting posture, with her back against the radiator. Her head hung on one side and the blood was pouring in a stream from wound in the right temple, from which the bullet made its exit.
 Her skirts were punched up behind her, and she was partially sitting on the pro jection at the base of the radiator Her skirts were also raised almost to her knees in front, showing that she had evidently staggered against the radiator and slipped down, her skirts rising as she sank down. Her hat was on her head, her hands were extended, and glove was partially pulled on her left hand. She was moaning slight ly. Magee was very much excited and cried to kiernan, "Won't you come in?'
 kiernan entered and his eyes hastily but critically swept the roOm To Miss Full ler's right was her desk, and to her left were the steam pipes, where the bullet had struck after passing through her head In the corner by the pipes was cane seated chair that will probably play an important part in solving the mystery. One foot from the extended left hand and in front of the chair was pool of blood. There was no blood to the right. Following the instincts of an old newspaper man, Kier- nan looked for the weapon with which the crime had been committed, but he could not see it.
 kiernan turned to Magee and asked, "How did this happen?" Magee replied that he did not know: that he was in the next room attending to some business when he heard the shot. He rushed in and saw Miss Fuller as she was then lying. kiernan, thinking that there should be more witnesses to anything that was done said that he would go up stairs and get MT. Riley. They returned together in q very few minutes.
 Kiernan stopped down to the dying girl put his arm around her and essayed tc place her in a more comfortable position While doing so he said to Magee, Take that chair away" and Magee obeyed him Kiernan pulled the girl down on the floor quently found by the police. He told Ma gee to raise her head. He stopped to obey when kiernan left the room to call an am. bulance.
 While moving the body of the girl Kier> nan had again felt and looked for the re volver, but did not find or see it. kiernar found a policeman and sent him to the of flee and subsequently summoned an am bulance. During his absence MT. Riley asked Magee whether the woman was |. client. He replied that she was the type writer and then repeated the story of the tragedy that he has stuck to from the be ginning. Magee was trembling from head to foot and was wringing his hands, ''but, , as MT. Riley put it, 'he still had the power of saying nothing"
