Washington, March S.-Speaking of the
conclusion reached by the Illinois Demo-
Gratis to settle at the next state conven-
tion the question Of having that body
nominate candidate for the Senator
ship, Mr.. Springer said today: "The
milllonaires will now have no better
showing than the people. 1t is wise
conclusion to reach. 1t is the fairest and
most satisfactory method of making
nominations. 1t was done In Senator
Palmer's case and Senator Cullom, who
expects to make fight for his present
seat is also favorable to the proposition.
The man who is nominated can get out
among the people and make his canvass

which they do not always enjoy where
the nomination is made at an executive
caucus"

GOVERNMENT BUSINESS
Will Take Precedence in the House of
Commons.

LONDON, May 31.-In the House of Com
mons to-day, Sir William Harcourt moved
that the Government busin ess take pIece-
dence for the remainder of the session. as
more time was imperative in order to
hasten the budget He was unable yet to
state the Governments intentions IN re-
gard to what bills might be abandoned.
Balfour complained of Harcourt's reti-
cence i'll reference to discussing Govern
ment measures, and said the Liberal lead
eI's proposal to appropriate abe time of
the House without stating to what it was
to be devoted had caused a decidedly IN
pleasant impression in the House.
Seton-Karr declared that the course pro-
posed was pure robbery" and moved
that it should not go into force for a
month.
Redmond opposed HarcOurts motion on
the ground that the Government was ask
ing for a blank check. Redmond said the
Parnellites insisted that the House SHOULD
proceed with the Embellishments bill and
with the crimes act repeal bill The
former, though Disappointing, was good so
far as it went, and the most urgent meas
ure in the Government programme.
Sir William Harcourt said he hoped the
Government would be able to carry all the
bills mentioned during the present ses-
sion, but he was unable 10 state which Of
these measures would first be dealt with.
On the appeal of Balfour SteOn-karr
withdrew his motion.
Goshen moved that precedence be grant
ed for financial business only. This mo-
tion was opposed by SiE William HarcOurt
and was rejected. 25S to 233.
Joseph Chamberlain declared that Har-
courts demand was unreasonable and ar
bitrary. Samuel Woods asked the Gov
eminent to state its intention in regard to
the eight-bour bill, and Frederick {. Nor
gan wanted Information as to the Govern
ments course regarding the Welsh discs
ia blishment bill.
The House then divided upon Sir Will
liam HarcOurt's original motion that Gov
eminent business take precedence for the
remainder of The session and it was
adopted by a vote OF 234 to 2l7. The re-
suit was greeted with loud Liberal cheers.

ON HER HUSBANDS GRAVE.
Romantic and Sensational Suicide OF
Cantain MOodN's Widow.

Los ANGELES. May 81 Mrs. Della
Moody, the widow of the late CAPTAIN
Isaac Moody. who died suddenly in the
foyer of the Los Angeles Theater on
Thursday evening, committed suicide early
this morning under circumstances of the
most romantic nature.
Upon being informed of her husbands
unexpected death Mrs Moody's grief knew
no bounds, and she appeared to be com
pletely overwhelmed by it. While the
body was being prepared for interment
Mrs. Moody asked a number of questions
indicative of her intention to follow him
over The great divide. But little attention
was paid to her conversation at the time,
it being naturally supposed that she was
hysterical with grief, but would in time
become recOnciled to her loss.
At the funeral. which was held on Sun
day last at Evergreen Cemetery, Mrs.
Moody insisted that the casket, which in
closed all that was mortal of her loved
husband, be opened at the graveside. Ii
was supposed at that time that she was
anxious TO assure herself that he was
really dead and not in comatose condi-
tion only. but it is evident that her real
object, as appears from one of the letters
she left, was that of ascertaining the exact
position of the body, in order that she
might leave specific instructions for her
own intermeni. showing that even then
she meditated self-destructiou.
About O'Clock this morning Mrs. MOODY
arranged her house and boarding a ear
went to the cemetery. Arriving at her
husbands grave she noticed graye-di gger
busy at work and requested him In cea
work as it made her nervous
The man did so, and fearing some
trouble started for the Office of the super
intendent. When he had gone the woman
placed pistol to her side and fired the
fatal shot, falling dead upon the new
made mound over her husbands grave,
The letters she left gave explicit instruc-
tons as to the disposition of her few eff
fects. and one requested that her face be
turned toward that of her dead husband.
Mrs. Moody was the third wife of CAPTAIN
Moody and leaves girl baby but twelve
months old.

ALL FOR FRANCE.
Policy of the Cabinet of
Dupuy.
APPEAL TO THE DEPUTIES.
Work Together for the Good of
the Nation.
APPEAL TO THE DEPUTIES.
PEACE, But WITH RESERVATIONS
Maintain the Course Which Has
Made France Once More
Glorious.

PARIS, May 31.-The declaration OF
policy of the new Dupuy Ministry wos
read to-day in both Chambers. 1t says
the NJ inisters have accepted Office from IA
sense OF duty as patriots and republicans,
adding:
I'VE hope that you will assist us in deal
ing with that trouble in the midst OF which
we have assumed office. We are deter
mined to resOlutely preserve public order
and always secure strict observation of
the laws of the Government. The Gov
eminent hopes you will actively assist in
the democratic tasks, which should dis
tinguisn the present legislature, but it does
not propose TO add to the present pro-
gramme before the House.
I'VE shall give the closest attention to
the questions of old age pensions, and the
practical conclusions Of the committees on
this subject will prove that the subject
does not need to become revolut ionary in
order TO improve the lot of the working
classes.
The chief object of the legislation.
however, will be the financial problem, .as
the fiscal reforms which are demanded ur-
gently by the country cannot be post
poned In our opinion the fiscal reforms
are the leading special reforms. RepubIi-
cans may differ respecting methods, but
considering the END to be attained we
count upon the hearty cooperation on
this task of all those who have faith in the
work of the French revolution in the
destiny of popular government.
lin regard to foreign policy we have IL
at heart to maintain the cOntnE's of
views and relations which in spite Of
political rivalry has enabled France to
resume place among the nations worthy
Of her name and history. Strong in your
support and imbued like you with
national sentiment, we shall always be
watchful guardians Of the interests of
France and the vigorous defenders of her
rights. [Cheers.l
1--WE shall also be devoted in our efforts
TO assist husbandrY, and especially the
wine-growers, whose grievances have
ELECTED universal sympathy. The Gov
ernment has great task before it, and we
shall best satisfy the wishes of the coun-
try by resumiDg the normal course of de-
liberations."
In the Senate the declaration of policy
made by the new Ministry was heartily
cheered, and the Chamber adjourned until
Saturday.

FOR THE SHIP CANAL
Citizens of Fresno Tired of Being
Plundered by MOnOpoIies.
They Meet and Decide Upon Plans
to Secure Better Transporta-
ton Facilities.

FRESNO. May 31.-AbOut 200 citizens at
tended a meeting at kutner Hall to-day.
Thomas Hughes called the meeting to
order Hughes was elected chairman and
!. s. Wright secretary. Nr. Hughes stated
the object of the meeting and on motion
all business other than the ship canal,
which il IS proposed to build from Fresno
to some point on the San Joaquin, was
dropped.
The secretary was the first speaker. He
remarked that every time the shin canal
was spoken Of up jumped the subject OF
the Stockton or Monterey roads. He said,
1--WE are here to act; let us not fall down.
We must do something for the farmers, so
the latter can reap the benefits. Then,
and not until then, will FIesuo be pros
porous"
George c. Church spoke Of the raisin
crop he sold for $500. The producers re-
turns amounted to $3.50; the balance went
for transportation and expenses. Fresno's
wealth was never greater than to-day.
Under the conditions people who don't
see it cannot comprehend it.
s \. Griffith referred TO the local rail-
road at Tallahassee, Florida. 1t was built
by the people, paid for in scrip, redeem
able in freight or fares. He recited his
experiences in inducing the different
paper" roads to build a competing road to
Fresno and said it was useless to work for
bonds or look for foreign money. He
wanted the farmers TO take an interest,
furnish teams and take their pay in scrip,
similar to the Florida people.
y. c. White called attention to Stock
toms committee who visited Fresno three
years ago. At that time Stockton was
willing to stand one-half the expense. He
suggested that a committee be appointed
to confer with the Stockton people. Mr..
White stated the canal could be built for
$500
A. }. Wiener, Alexander Gordon, Wick
son Parsons. John Reichman, Herman
Levy and others made speeches suggesting
plans for being released from the grasp Of
the present transportation monopoly.
Alexander Gordon made a motion that a
business mans club be organized and each
subscriber pay SO. The molten was
adopted. The chairman appointed COM
mittee consisting of Alexander Goldstein,
Alexander Gordon and Z. G. White to So
licit subscribers. and the chairman's name
was added.
The money will be expended on surveys
and right of way. The meeting adjourned
until Saturday evening next. The people
Of the San Joaquin Valley are ready TO
obtain the right of way and also willing to
do the grading of the San Joaquin Valley
Railroad or any independent road to deep
water.

ARMOR-PLATE FRAUDS.
Possible That the Workmen Them
selves Were Responsible.


selves Were Responsible.
WASHINGTON. May 31-Professor Alger
Of the Navy Department was heard to. day
by the Congressional Committee investi-
eating the armOr-plate frauds.
Prof, ssOr Alger described the method of
inspecting Government plates. The Car
negie Company, he said, usually knew the
particular part of the plate from which the
specimens were to be taken. 1t would be
possible for the company to perfect these
particular parts. yet it would be so risky
as 20 be impracticabIe.
Professor Alger said it was possible the
company knew nothing of the receptions
practiCed by the workmen. The workmen
were paid by the output and they helped
each other to cover up defects so as to
make their output as large as possible. He
said the general average OF armOr was IN
to the standard. A plate with n blowhoIe
eighteen inches long If hit by heavy shot
would probably be pierced. The force of
Government inspectors was not sufficient
to watch every plate throughout its manu-
facture. The man in charge of the test
machine was furnished with a written
slip bearing secret marks disclosing the
facts. He was thus advised how the test
could be so manipulated TO pass the plate
He could lift lever and thus show a
fraudulent strength. The Carnegie Com
pany furnished the machine and it was
standard make.

the intention of stopping here and obtain
ing work on the large gravity sewer being

men having work here, and number of
their leaders called upon the city auth ORR
ties this afternoon and requested that they
be protected from Smith and his invaders.
Ihey were Informed that under the order
of the court there could be no interference
with the men so long as they violated no
law. These home reserves were parlicu-
larly active and enthusiastic in having the
injunction dissolved so that these men
could come into the city.

ST. LOUIS, May 31.-The schism in

this afternoon by the appearance
| of G. L. Speed, head of the Sc
ceding part of the command, with j. D.
Jones. the agent of the Chicago publish
ers, and several of the officers of the re-
beiIious staff, before Judge Lubke of the
| Circuit Court.
They charged Kelly with illegal reten-
ton of the entire commissary stores and
equipment OF the fleet, and they wanted
the court TO compel a division OF the prop
erty, and compel Kelly to give an account
of his receipts and disbursements of money
contributions. Judge Lubke told Colonel
Speed that ne had perfect right to sur
round the commissary boats and prevent
their removal, and then apply for re-
ceiver. A division of property and funds
will be sought through the courts to-mor-
row.
The existing troubles do not seem to
have any effect upon the recruiting, some

arrival here. Kelly holds his men to be
ready to leave here at o'clock in the
