DR.. Lsek and Miss AIdersIey Try the
Morphine Route.
SAN Francisco, March Cdr. J. ].
Leek, dentist, and Miss Alice Alders-
ley, young woman who came to this
city a few days ago from Napa. where
her parents live, are lying between life
and death in Leek's apartments at the
corner OF Fifth and Market streets.
Both are suffering from morphine pois-
onine but whether the drug was taken
by both with suicidal intent for the pur-
pose OF dying together, or whether one
tried to poison the other and then COM
mitted suicide, will probably never be
known, unless both recover, which now
seems doubtful. The janitor of the
building broke into the room and found
them. Leek still held in his hand the
vial containing the drug that both had
swallowed. Physicians were then sum-
moned and for several hours have worked
over them. Miss Aldersley, who is said
to have been engaged to marry Leek,
came to the city to testify in libel suit
brought against Leek by his brother.

seized today all copies of the New York

paragraph to which he objected most
strenuously said he had been expelled
from jockey club in Rome for cheat

a writ upon Joseph Pulitzer, proprietor
of the World, claiming 100000 francs

ST.. LOUIS, March 6.-Tonight about 8
O'Clock, the Mobile and Ohio train
which left here at 6 :35 O'Clock, was held
up by three robbers at Forest Lawn, Ill.
This is the third attempt within the
past six months that this road has suf-
fered from robbers at this point. 1t is
thought tonight's hold up was perpe-
trated by members OF the same gang
which committed the other robbsries.
There is no telegraph office at Forest
Lawn and particulars are very hard to
obtain. 1t cannot be ascertained at
this hour what the robbers obtained,
but it is not thought the haul amounted
to much.
1t is just learned that the robbers
were frightened away before they could
get at the valuables in the express car.
Soon after the train passed Pittsburg
crossing the fireman saw three men
era Wing over the tender from the bag
gage car. He drew a revolver and held
them at bay while the engineer slowed
up and drew his own gun. Conductor
EsgolE came forward to see why
tho tlnln btOPp0u hnu Win lis
help the three wouldbe robbers were
put to flight without shot being fred.
The men ran away without attempting
to draw their weapons, and were soon
lost sight OF in tho darkness. The
train continued on its way to Columbia,
where information was sent back to
East st. Louis of the attempted robbery.
AS soon as word was received at East
Louis, four police officers Immediately
set out on an engine to the scene of the
attempted robbery to trace them if pos
sible.
Later-When the train reached
Murphysboro. ILL.,, the Repu blic's cor
respondent obtained the true story of
the affair. Three men climbed on the
engine they covered the engineer and
fireman with revolvers and ordered
them to stop. The engineer and fire.
man were then marched from the en-
gine to the express Car. The robbers
then ordered the express messenger to
open up, which he did. One of them
entered the express car and ordered the
messenger to open the safe, and the
messenger told them there was nothing
in it but opened it. and as he said,
nothing was in it. Conductor Eckels
stepped outside to see what wrong,
when the robbers fred at him without
effect. The conductor then boarded the
train and the robbers told the engineer
and fireman to get on the engine and
pull out, which they did. The robbers
escaped.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The house to.

CATION Of Judge Jenkins Northern
Pacific order restraining the men from
striking.
Strait (Dem.) OF South Carolina rose
to question Of privilege on the ground
that his rights were invaded by the sec.
retary Of the navy in appointing and
charging to his district a naval cadet
from another state. Cummings, chair
man OF the naval affairs committee,
stated the committee agreed with Strait
and reported bill to prevent such mis-
takes in the future. Strait asked the
adoption of the following resolution:
Resolved, That the appointment by
the secretary OF the navy of naval
cadet for the fifth district of South
Carolina, from the sixth Alabama dis
trict, was without authority of law and
is void.
1t was adopted.
The house then went into COMMITTEES
of the whole for further consideration of
the pension appropriation bill.
Sicklea (Dem.) of New York took the
floor and had read an extract from
Clevelsnd's letter of acceptance of the
presidential nomination, saying the
debt due the defenders of the union
should be ungrudgingly discharged.
"Upon that pledge to the soldiers the
Democratic party stood and won a po-
litical victory" said be. I'VE are not
able to agree with the commissioner
of pensions, either in his interpretation
of the law or his manner of treating the
legislation OF congress. The commissioner
characterized the act of December Is,
1898, in which congress declared q PEN
sion vested right, as inaccurate apd
inappropriate. That is not q decoyous
way of treating an act of congrees, and
his superior officers should return it to
him with the admonition to treat con-
gress with more respect" Republican
applause.
A short debate followed and the house
adjourned.
1t is expected that a subcommittee
from the house committee on judiciary
will go to Milwaukee to investigate the
labor decision Of Judge jenkins. The

WASHINGTON, March 6.-In the senate
today Hill presented resolution setting
forth whereas there was an announced
deficit of $78, 900, 900 for the current fiscal
year, as the Wilson bill proposed to dis
card that much revenue from the tariff
and meet the double deficiency by in.
ternal direct taxation, that the finance
committee be directed to frame amend
ments to the bill, emitting the proposed
new internal taxes and make instead
provision for sufficient revenue by tar
iffing other foreign imports and other
wiae revising the tariff, without creating
deficiency.
Harris of Tennessee moved the second
reading of the Bland seigniorage bill.
In doing 90 he said no one was q more
earnest advocate of silver coinage than
he, but there was one question which
should take precedence, and without q
breach OF confidence he could state that
the finance committee Was on the verge
of reporting the tariff bill to the SEM ate.
He, therefore, objected to further pro-
ceedings on the seigniorsge bill, and un-
der that objection it went to the cal
endar.
Berry of Arkansas rose to question
of personal privilege. A New York
paper had printed his picture as one Of
list OF obstructionists to the Wilson
bill. He declared he was always
friend OF the bill.
McLaurin of Mississippi and Faulk-
ner Of West Virginia, whose pictures
were also among the obstructionists.
also denied being foes to the bill. Their
explanations were greeted with laughter
and applause.
MMorgan of Alabama caused amuse-
ment by falling into line with the other
'conspirators" mentioned In the news

Virginia." said he, sis not guilty as
charged. but WAS not nearly as bad as
he, and therefore am not guilty."
Laughter.
Call of Florida said the statements
made in the newspaper were absolutely
false as far as he was concerned, and he
believed they were as far as other sena-
tors we're concerned.
The main interest of the day centered
about the discussion of the disposal Of
the Bland bill. Stewart gave notice that
tomorrow he would move to make it the
business before the senate until disposed
of. Teller also spoke on the same sub.
ject.
After a brief executive session the
