Burglars Friends and Helpers.
EMPORIA, March ia. r. McGregOr.
a Santa Fe conductor and the husband
of Mrs. McGregor who was sentenced to
the penitentiary for burglary, has made
a full confession.
lii it he states that IA. b. Treadwell. the
escaped convict who broke jail here,
committed the burglary of the Hood res
idence, gave the watch to him and he
gave it to his wife. The rest of the gang
have also all 'Fsquealed" and told all they
knew.
Treadwell, it seems, was concealed for
weeks in the McGregor home and com
mitted the burglary while there. Several
others VIII probably follow Mrs. Nc

Terrible Accident at Pao4a Resulting in
the killing Of ELIAS 1nepp.
PAOLA, March 1.-THE Spirit contains
the following account of fatal accident
near here.
Last Saturday in coming to town Elias
Knepp, of Richland township, was killed
while crossing the Memphis railroad at
the fair ground crossing. He was driv-
ing a team to a spring wagon and came
along just as the noon passenger was due
and unfortunately tried to make it across
the track ahead of the approaching
train.
The sharp turn in the track and the
wind blowing violently probably made
his warning insufficient, at any rate,
whatever the cause was. Mr. Knepp paid
the penalty of it in piteous death. The
engine struck the wagon and scattered it
with everything in it about promiscu-
ously BIr. Knepp's neck was dislocated
and one leg broken in two or three
places.

The plaintiffs creditors raised a novel
point that the preferred creditors claims,
which are secured by chatteI mortgages,
are not good because they were attested

Free Ships.

The Preiidentearnest!y recommends free
ships, and he has abundant reason for the
recommendation.
When ships were tsse,a as fac back as iS43
the tonnage Of registered American vessels
was r.ooo, 3os. In 1864 thls had increased
to .. .64a, Gas tons but In rso, /, was only
el6. iSo tons. In 1898 the American ien-
mage was soo.So3. This was the iowest
point reached since 1889, when the regis
tered tonnage of.the country was s34,s4s.
In 1861 the total merchant marine, In
eluding the coasting trade. had tonnage
OF s,539.Si3. In 1894 this had fallen TO a
tonnage OF 4,6S4,o29. The ioss had been in
vessels engaged 10 foreign commerce, for the
tonnage of the coas,ing trade has increased.
In 1897 vessels Of ass s. tons w.re built
on the American seaboard. In 1894 the
tonnage of the vessels built on our seacoasi
was only Sa.o99.
In 1896 loo ships and barks were bull
In the United States and aas steam vessels.
Ia 1857 asI ships aud barks and s7s steam
vessels were built In the country. Ia IS8.
aud the years following the ships and bark'
built numbered as follows: 1886, s; 1857
Z; 1855. 1; 1859. 4; 1890, 10; 1894 3. The
building Of steam vessels, almost exclusively
for coas,ing trade, increased until in 1885,
soa were butt. In 1899 a subsidy wai
granted to encourage the building Of ocsar
steamships In tha, year sls steam vessels
were built. In 1894 only s9s steam ves-
sells were bull. In the country.
These are some OF tho arguments for fre'
ships as opposed to subsidies.

An Extra Session.

A fortnight ago The World suggested
that it would be well TO call the next Con-
grcss together in extra session on the 5sh
of March. The report In Washington thai
the President has intimated purpose to
convene the new Congress. In case no sat
isiaotory currency bill shall be passed at
the present session. is not confirmed, but 1t
may very well be true.
There is one sound general reason and
several special reasons why such a call
would be in order. II il an anachronism
that new Congress does not meet until
more than year after its election. In a
government Of The people the will Of the
people should be given effect as quickly as
possible. A delay that was necessary be-
fore iae days Of railroads and the telegraph
i. on; OF data now. England is nuch more
democratic than this country IN respoH-
siveaess TO the popular verdict.
While the Law fixes the time Of meeting
in the December Of the year following the
election, il would be manifestly improper
for the President to alter it. in ordinary
circumstances. by the use Of his authority
TO call an extraordinary session. But in
an emergency the President may and should
convene Congress in this way. 1t would
have been far better for The country and
,or the Democratic party il Mr. Cleveland
had called The extra session last year Ia
