CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-Proi. Vigo Ander-
son, one OF the finest hutlsts in the
world and prominent member OF Theo-
dore Thomas orchestra, made dra-
mstio ending to his somewhat eventtul
life lac. night. He csllsd together prac-
ticslly all his friends and then shot him
self through the head. The suicide oc
Cured at 347 Elm street. where Mr..
Anderson was living. One OF the in
vited guests was Miss Frances Striegel.
Anderson killed himself virtually at her
feet. Many OF his acquaintances declare
Anderson was betrothed to Miss Strie-
gel, bnt her friends deny this. Many
motives are assigned for the deed. The
true one seems to have been q desire to
make q dramatic exit after q com bnR-
ton OF marital troubles. Mr.. Anderson
was 48 years old. He was flute in.
structor in local college, and had bee
advertised as flute soloist at comm &
concert of the Chicago orchestra. Anon
his effects was a notice of January 22d
to appear in court to answer bill OF
complaint filed by his wife in q divorces
proceeding, and this may have been the
cause OF his act.

THE SENATE CoyCURs.

Belshaw's Funding Bill Resolution
Adopted.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 30.-This morn
inR's fight in the assembly over the
resolutions declaring assinst the Reilly
funding bill was carried into the senate
this afternoon. Thu Bslshaw concur-
rent resolution, which the assembly
adopted this morning, was sent without
unnecessary dslay to the senate, where
it was read and taken up under a sus
pension OF the rulea.
Senator McGowan OF Humboldt began
the fray. In tho interest OF harmony,
be said, he desired to offer an amend
mont Of few words to the Beshaw
resolution. He was allowed fow min.
utes TO draft his amendment. Senator
Noble Martin OF Dutch Flat waA recox-
nizod, and began to talk against the
adoption OF any more resolutions ON the
Reilly funding bill. HIS was getting
we'll warmed up when MCGOWAN, who
had written his amendment, raised a
point Of order and demanded a ruling.
He claimed to be still entitled to the
Hoor to offer his amendment. Presi~
dent Flint ruled in his favor, and SEN
ator Martin retired in very bad humor,
shouting his imprecRsions against the
"railroad attorneys on the floor OF the
senate"
Senator MCGOWAN then offered the
following amendment to the Belshaw
resolution: "rhat the congress OF the
United States, in the adjustment OF this
question, consider in practical way the
equitable right of the people of the state
Ct California, who have contributed to
the support of said roads, to the use
and operation of said roads for the use
and benefit OF the people,"
Senator Earl opposed this amend
ment He declared that If the legisla-
ture intended ever to send ON to cons
gress its expressed concurrent will the
senate must act today. He showed
that the passage OF Mc9owan's amend
ment would necessitats the sending of
the resolution back to the assembly and
thus another day would be lost. He
asserted, too, that the house of repre-.
sentativss would vote on the Reilly bill
tomorrow aud that it would then be too
late to telegraph any concurrent ex-
preston OF the Legislature.
Senator Wilmington of San Diego sal d
that this assembly resolution was al
most ldontoal with the Earl resolution
which the senate adopted yesterday
without q dissenting vote. and against
which the senator from Humboldt then
laise sd NO question:.
"FAt Sslolation was coed enough fst
the 80 ate ysetAtday Why is 1t not good

asksd.
The previous question was dem audsd,

Big Haul of Obsosns Literature Made In
Chicago.
CHICAGO. Jan. 30.-Chiei of Police
Brennan and the civic federation have
made joint swoop upon the publishers
OF obscene literature and the dealers who
sell it. One sent men to make raids
snd the other supplied evidence. Be-
tween the two there ia piled in the
vaults of the city hall the vilsst lot OF
books and pictures that mortal ever saw.
1t came from local dealers, who sold
them to the young men in the employ
of the federation, and ia far bslow the
worst varieties ever displayed at police
headquarters. This crusade against the
nauseating evil formed q part OF the
work OF the committee ON morals. II
wac started more than three months
ago, with II. H. Van Mater az director.
There were many efforts made to get
court evidence against supposed Offend
ers, but the iniquity was so elvly and
cautiously carried on as to be invariably
within the law. Chicago has been the
distri butng point of the west for this
work. The government secret service
has boon on the track OF some whole-
sslers who have violated the federal law
concerning the uss OF mails. Books are
listed in secret circulars to the trade and
are printed in all tina languages spoken
