Fatal nIusions.

Gage blindness" is the western
name for peculiar afiiiction to which
Montana miners are subject After
working In deep mines for a. good
many years some miners, when they
come to the top to work, imagine
they see the basket suspended In the
shaft ready to lower them down to
the bottom The illusion is so abso-
lntely Perfect that the poor, deluded
man, II alone, is sure to try to step
into the basket and he shoots
through the shaft to an awful death.

Kills Himself.

OMAHA, March ia dispatch from
Revena, Nebr., says: John Brecht, a
young German farmer. shot his bride of
four months and then blew out his own
brains with a shotgun. His 14-year-old
stepson ran to the house of neighbor for
heir. A party of neighbors proceeded to
Brecht's house, and forcing an entrance
beheld stretched upon the floor the dead
body of Brecht with hole as large as
baseball blown in his forehead. Near by
lay Mrs. Brecht. the blood yelling from
ragged gunsh0t just below the left ear.
The woman was still breathing. but died
without gaining consciousness.
Evidently there mad been despera te
struggle between Brecht and his wife be-
fore the shooting. After shooting his wife
he tied string to his foot, and. connect
ing it with the trigger of the shotgun, and
placing his right eye to the muzzle, touched
the trigger with his foot. The cause of The
trouble is not known.

amendments of importance were adopted:
One appropriating SAB, 800 for lighting Hay

amendment Of Importance was one made
by Morse RepubIican) of Massachusetts,

ner in which the portion of appropriation
for counsel fees is worded led to spirited
debate, in which Cannon of Illinois broad
ly intmated this appro priation had been
placed under the direction of the commits
sion instead of the department of Justice,
as heretofore, because of the criticism
against Attorney General Oluey that he is
in sympathy with corporations. The
amendment was finally defeated by Haines

RETURN OF THE THETIS.
Plenty of Rough Weather, but a
Dearth of News.

SAN DIEGO. March 13-The coast sur
vey steamer Thetis arrived from the
Lower California coast last evening.
where she has been for the past two
months on survey work. The Thetis
missed two steamers bearing mail for her,
ana her officers and crew had not, there
lore, heard word from the outside world
since leaving this port on January 8. The
hrst question asked when the steamer
anchored was: "Who beat-Corbett or
MitchelI?'
On account of the heavy weather ex-
perienced the Thetis had barely enough
coal TO reach this port, and. In fact. ac-
cording to one of the men. had to draw
upon the supply reserved for the galley
COOK. The officers report rough weather
most of the time. and il was learned that
during an unusually rough season boat
sent from the steamer was capsiZed in the
surf. and seaman named Burkhardt was
drowned.
his body was not recovered, though a
strict search was made. The lieutenant
In charge was also injured. and upon ar
irving inside the bay here he was trans
ferred to the steamer Santa Rosa. which
was just leaving for San Francisco. No
other casualty was reported. The Thetis
will remain in port some days.

explained that the 40 camp had foreseen
the diffieulty sons time ago. and after
taking legal advice had PAID from
February 5. The opinion of City and
County Attorney Creswell was that the
licenses must be paid. and as Fred Lees
had notified the concessionaires that he
intended to enforce the payment imme-
diately. by arresting non-payers for con-
Quoting An unlawful business, the club
had no time in which TO hesitate.
Although most of the members were In

He Is Sentenced to Fifteen Years
Imprisonment.

VALLEJO. March 13-After a days
work jury was secured Monday in
the case of The People VS.. George Crolly.
who is charged with the murder of Dennis
j. Sullivan. An effort was made by the
defense to get young men on the jury, but
not many were obtained. and Attorney
Carroll Cook did not like the looks of
things.
Accordingly he suggested to the District
Attorney that it would save time if a con-
tinuance was had until Tuesday morning.
1t was not long before it leaked out that a
consultation among the attorneys for the
defense had resulted in the conclusion that
they could do no better than TO get YER
dict of murder In the second degree, and
they offered to allow Crolly TO plead guilty
TO that.
This morning the prisoner pleaded in ac-
cordance with this idea, ard having waived
time was sentenced to ff cen years in
States prison.

COINAGE OF SEIGNIoRAGE.
DoIph Is Anxious to Defeat the
Bland Bill.
SOME FALSE INTERPRETATIONS,
Stewart Again Defines His Exhaus-
tive and WelI-Known Theories
on the White Metal.

WASHINGTON, March 13.-The proceed
ings in the Senate to-day were uninterest-
ing. The discussion of the seigniorage
bill was taken UP By Senators Stewart and
Lindsay, who spoke in favor of it. Dolph
spoke in opposition. holding that its pass
age would destroy the existing equality be
tween gold and silver.
Mr.. Stewart delivered a silver speech
along the line of his well-known theories.
Senator Lindsay denied the assertions
by Senator Sherman that the bill permit
ted the issue of paper money without
security. When he took his seat Senators
Dolph and Mills jumped up, the latter to
ask for an executive session. Mr.. Dolph,
however, was recognized. and as he was
primed for speech and had been waiting
since yesterday for an opening, he declined
TO yield for the motion to go into executive
session.
Mr.. DOlph thought those who were
urging the passage of the bill were doing
so under false interpretations. The bill
was reckless proposition TO increase the
coinage of standard silver dollars or of
silver certificates without adequate pro-
vision for their redemption or to maintain
their equality with gold. The bill is in
direct conflict with the declaration of
Congress made when the purchasing
clause Of the Sherman law was repealed !;
that it was the policy of the Government
to maintain the parity of gold and silver.
Mr.. Dolph alluded to work which he
wanted printed In the Record.
Harris of Tennessee objected to any
book going in the Record. Dolph said the
work was only newspaper clipping and
Harris objected to that. Finally DOlph
got his way and had just begun to read
when the Senate adjourned.

Worthless Notes Lead to the Arrest
of James II. Britton.

ST LOUIS, March 13.-James II. Brit
ton. formerly Mayor of this city. and at
one time president of the State Bank of
Missouri. now a citizen of New York, was
arrested here to-day and charged with be-
ing accessory to the embezzement Of his

The arrest was based upon transaction
between father and son. The former gave
the latter his note for S2412 This the
son cashed through his bank, the First
National of Vernon, Tex The charge
made by the United States authorities is
that the son knew the elder Britton to be
insolvent when the note was given, and in
consequence ENLIGHTENMENT proceedings
were brought with the result stated.
